5. Surrender Now or Prepare to Fight
1. Motion
The motion of the waves lulls him into a relaxed state, and he allows his head to loll against his partner’s as the inside of the submarine reverberates with the hypnotic sound of Jigglypuff’s song.
2. Cool
Jessie smirks to herself as she watches James change back into his Team Rocket uniform; while that bloody annoying falsetto voice had been enough to make her want to cut out his voice box, she has to silently agree with him: he does make a pretty cool girl.
3. Young
“You’re both young now,” Pop-Pop tells them as the duo stand there blinking in confusion, “but one day you’ll understand what I mean.”
4. Last
He wonders rather jealously just how many people she’s kissed before him; as though reading his mind, she smirks and reminds him that being the last is better than being the first unfortunate bastard.
5. Wrong
His parents had constantly told him that he would never make anything of himself in life if he couldn’t conduct himself like a proper gentleman, but now James knows that they were wrong, the life that he’s made with Jessie being proof of that.
6. Gentle
He’s gentle with her, as she knew he would be, his movements inside her slow and soft, the kisses he bestows upon her less concrete than air…and yet, despite her naturally rougher nature, she finds that she enjoys it.
7. One
In moments like these it’s easy to forget that they’re not one entity, sharing one body and one heart.
8. Thousand
Jirachi only awakens once every thousand years, and though they’ll never get the chance to witness such a phenomenon ever again, James is glad that he was able to share it with Jessie all the same.
9. King
He could be king of an entire empire if he wanted to, what with the money that his family has coming out of their ears, but instead he chooses to be a peasant toiling away on the land with her.
10. Learn
With his head thrust between his partner’s legs, James is quick to learn about exactly what she likes.
11. Blur
She blinks as the world spins dizzyingly around her, the blow to her head rendering her groggy and yet, despite the blurriness of her vision, he is as clear as ever.
12. Wait
He’s waited for her for a long time now, he thinks as he watches her walk away; he can do it for a while longer yet.
13. Change
They’ve had a steady, stoic relationship for a long time now, but this time Jessie thinks that change is good as James shyly leans in to press his lips against her cheek.
14. Command
James is more than happy to let Jessie take charge in the bedroom.
15. Hold
Her arms snake consciously around his neck as she gently levers his head against her chest, for once feeling as though she should be there for her best friend as he sobs into her shirt.
16. Need
It isn’t a want that keeps them together, it is a need; Jessie and James need each other like no one Meowth has ever met before, and he is sure that this is the reason that their bond is so strong.
17. Vision
If they ever have dreams about their futures than they never share them, but they don’t need to be told to know that each one features heavily in the other’s vision of happiness.
18. Attention
“Next time you’ll know to listen,” Jessie grumbles as she puts her pan back where she got it from, and James holds his head and staggers dizzily as he recovers from his very first smack.
19. Soul
Jessie doesn’t really believe in the stuff about souls and Heaven and Hell, but perhaps there is some truth in knowing the other half of your soul when you see them.
20. Picture
“Aw, come on, lemme see!” Meowth whines as he tries to snatch the photo from James’ hands and, finally succeeding, he gazes upon a sight that will surely scar him for life before letting the photo fall to the ground where Jessie quickly grabs it, blushing; the humans silently deciding that that is the last time they ever photograph their sexual antics.
21. Fool
“We’re just off to make sure the area’s safe,” Jessie supplies as she glances to James, who nods in agreement; Meowth pouts, whining that he hates being left behind on his own and failing to notice the fact that Jessie and James have joined hands and are giggling like children who have just deceived their parents.
22. Mad
She has to be bloody insane to stay here and let him drag her down time and time again, she fumes to herself as she pummels her white shirt into something that can be used as a pillow; she’s bloody sick of him.
23. Child
“Youse two would be useless wid a baby,” Meowth announces as he watches Jessie and James attempting to silent the crying Bonsly in vain, “but ya’d make cute parents.”; this comment earns him two deathly glares as the duo blush.
24. Now
Yesterday is in the past and tomorrow is the future that no one can predict; all that matters is today and the here and now, and as James rests his head beside Jessie’s, he’s grateful for that.
25. Shadow
Their journeys through Hoenn cast a shadow over their lives, and James sadly wonders if the night will ever be over for them.
26. Goodbye
He wonders why people say that there is something good in goodbye, because all he feels is heartache and betrayal as he watches her leave him.
27. Hide
“Well, this is cosy,” Jessie purrs as they squash themselves into the cupboard to wait for the twerps outside to disappear, and as she leans in to kiss him senseless, James forgets why they’re hiding in the first place.
28. Fortune
“Dis here book says dat yer closer ta yer loved one dan youse might t’ink,” says Meowth, and Jessie and James exchange glances; realising just how close they are to each other, they quickly turn away and state that that’s the most ridiculous thing that they’ve ever heard.
29. Safe
There aren’t many times that Jessie really feels safe - not as a member of a crime syndicate - but she finds that now, despite the fact that she’s lying naked and vulnerable in James’ arms, she feels perfectly protected.
30. Ghost
She wonders if her mother would approve of the choices she’s made in life, of the friends she’s made, of the career she’s pursued, of the lover she’s taken in the form of her lavender haired partner.
31. Book
“I didn’t know you read,” James comments as he flops down next to his partner; quickly, Jessie hides the book - which has just reached an incredibly juicy moment between the hero and the heroine - and says as calmly as she can that she doesn’t waste her time on silly novels, thank you very much.
32. Eye
He’s staring at her in a way that she finds disconcerting, a look of pure desire upon his face and, finally giving in, she thrusts the doughnut into his hand, muttering, “here, have it then,” as she does so.
33. Never
She’d vowed that she’d never like her partner, vowed that he would never become her friend, vowed that he would never know what was in her heart; now, she vows that she will never make such vows ever again.
34. Sing
She doesn’t exactly have the voice of a superstar (though if she ever knew he’d even thought that she’d probably strangle him with her bare hands); it sounds decidedly off-key on some notes and it wavers dangerously on others, but the fact that she is trying to make him feel better makes it the most wonderful voice in the world.
35. Sudden
The moment it hits him that his two best friends should be together isn’t one that has developed over time; no, it hits him as suddenly and unexpectedly as a Pokémon’s evolution, while he watches his two friends completing the most mundane of tasks, and that is when he realises just how well the duo complement each other.
36. Stop
James is unable to stop himself from slipping his hand into his partner’s as they watch the sight in front of them with unabashed awe; he is thankful when Jessie seems unable to stop herself from squeezing his fingers reassuringly.
37. Time
Maybe next time, James thinks despondently as he watches Jessie walk away. Maybe next time things will be different.
38. Wash
She rubs soap vigorously into her skin, trying not to think about how it would feel to have him doing the rubbing.
39. Torn
She ought to be used to being torn down, she thinks; it’s happened enough in the past.
40. History
With pasts like theirs, it’s a wonder that they can function together at all; and yet, despite everything, they fit together like a puzzle to create the greatest story in history.
41. Power
The balance of power has shifted rather dramatically, but as she watches James pull his black Rocket trousers on, his expression one of utmost seriousness, Jessie decides that she doesn't mind.
42. Bother
“Did you not see the do not disturb sign?” Jessie and James chorus in embarrassed indignation as they quickly try to cover their modesty; Meowth can only sigh.
43. God
Jessie isn’t sure that there is a god out there, but she prays to Him anyway as she races up the Metagross Mountain…she prays that James is still safe.
44. Wall
Sometimes she feels like she’s banging her head against a brick wall when it comes to her partner in crime, because everything she says to him seems to go in one ear and out the other, all with an innocent smile that she just can’t stay angry with.
45. Naked
It takes her a few moments to realise that the hand she’s snaked down her naked body to the secret place between her thighs has moved there with the inappropriate thoughts of her partner in crime.
46. Drive
She wishes she could drive him out of her heart as easily as her words drive him out of their campsite.
47. Harm
They’ve been electrocuted and taken out with jets of water and smacked around with vicious vines more times than they can count but they’ve never really been hurt, and it scares Jessie to see her seemingly invincible partner slumped over the steering wheel out cold with a large lump on his head after their current ploy to capture Pikachu goes horribly awry.
48. Precious
They’ve dressed up as the dolls for her, both smiling nervously as the Pokémon loiter in the background and Jessie smiles, realising that what she has - true friends - is much more precious than the Princess Dolls that the twerpette won.
49. Hunger
It is easy to hate and blame each other after almost three days without a morsel to eat.
50. Believe
“I swear, I’ll never let you down,” James tells her, and she has a reason to believe once again.
