 | Prologue
It was late at night at Sunnytown General Hospital. Four new babies' lives were just beginning, but their mother's was ending. She was poor, and because of that she was hungry, weak, and not prepared to have quadruplets. Because she couldn't afford medical care, she hadn't even known that she was having four babies instead of just one.
The quadruplets were not all identical, but were all girls and consisted of two sets of identical twins. Before their mother died, she named one set of twins Jessie and Jessibelle, and the other Cassidy and Cassandra.
But then, tragedy struck. When the quadruplets were only a few days old, Giovanni, who had just become the boss of Team Rocket, kidnapped them. At first there was a frantic search for the babies, but since they were no one's, it was called off.
Giovanni trained the quadruplets from a young age to work on Team Rocket. But Jessibelle and Cassandra were not good at the training exercises, so he gave them to a henchman to "dispose of." But unlike his boss, the henchman wasn't completely heartless, so he found families to adopt them.
Jessie and Cassidy, the remaining quadruplets, were at first friends but soon became rivals. The Boss promised money and power within Team Rocket to whoever completed the most assignments. They were fully trained to work on Team Rocket by the age of 9, but it wasn't until they were 12 that the Boss found them partners: James and Butch.
Around the same time, the henchman decided to reunite the sisters. But their meeting didn't work as planned, and a battle was started between the sisters that would last for years.
Chapter 1
"Why do we have to go to this city?" James whined, looking around at the mansions that were far too familiar.
"I already told you!" Jessie said, "The twirps went here looking for that new pokemon center, and we have to get the Pikachu!"
"But as soon as we get there, we can eat, right?" Meowth said, "I'm starving!"
"Me too!" James said, suddenly happy to go anywhere there was food.
Jessie, James, and Meowth had been working on Team Rocket for 6 years now. Their latest mission, which they had been on for over a year, was to steal the twirp Ash's Pikachu. They followed the twirps and every few days got a new plan to catch Pikachu, but they always went blasting off again.
But this time, Jessie had a good feeling about their plan. Since the twirps always stayed overnight at pokemon centers, they could take the Pikachu while the twirps slept. They also had pika-proof gloves and cage so Pikachu wouldn't shock them. Pikachu would finally be theirs!
Team Rocket followed the twirps to the pokemon center, but since the twirps were sitting outside, they had to hide in the bushes.
"I don't like this pokemon center!" Brock was complaining, "the guy with the green hair who works there said that there was no Nurse Joy!"
"That is weird!" Misty agreed.
"So let's find another pokemon center!" Brock suggested.
"No!" Ash said, "There aren't any other ones around here! But look, Brock, there's a girl inside!"
"She's the most beautiful girl in the world!" Brock exclaimed, and he ran inside with Ash and Misty chasing him. Jessie, James, and Meowth ran to the window to find out what room the twirps were staying in.
"Hey, she looks familiar!" James said when he saw the new object of Brock's affection. Jessie couldn't believe her eyes! It couldn't be, they were in jail!
"Yeah, I know I've seen her before!" Meowth said, "And I've seen him too. I wonder who they are? Are you okay, Jessie? You look kinda pale."
"Im fine," Jessie said, "And I've never seen them before."
What Team Rocket, the twirps, and the owners all hadn't planned on was that there would be a news crew that night reporting on the new pokemon center. The owners stayed inside and Team Rocket stayed in the bushes, but the twirps tried to get on camera. Jessie, James, and Meowth were ignoring the news crew, but something Brock said to a reporter caught Jessie's attention: "Hi, I'm Brock! You're beautiful! Did you know that you look just like the beautiful pokemon nurse that works here?"
Jessie looked out from behind the bush and once again couldn't believe her eyes. The reporter was identical to and just as familiar as the girl in the pokemon center! Even though they wore different clothes and the reporter had her hair in a bun while the pokemon nurse had pigtails, they both had blond hair and identical features.
"Hey, she does look like the pokemon nurse!" Meowth said, joining Jessie at the bushes.
"Maybe that's where we recognized her from," James added, "We saw the girl who looks like her on TV."
But Jessie wasn't listening. she was lost in her thoughts. It had been 6 years since she'd seen them more than one at a time. More than one at a time was too much: too many horrible memories, too many people to fight with.
"AHHHHH!" James suddenly screamed, "It's her! across the street! I knew going to my old town was a bad idea!"
"Shhh!!!" Meowth hissed, "You'll blow our cover!"
But "she" had already heard, since she could recognize James' voice anywhere. She ran across the street and behind the bushes. "James!" She exclaimed, "You came back! Now we can finally have our wedding!"
"Jessibelle!" James said, then whispered to Jessie and Meowth, "She's my evil fiancee! Help!"
"What did you say?" Jessibelle demanded, raising her whip. Then, she saw Jessie and said, "And who's this?" even though she knew perfectly well who Jessie was.
Meowth looked back and forth between Jessie and Jessibelle. Then, he looked at James. Did he not notice that they were identical, except for the hair and wearing different clothes? Meanwhile, Jessie thought, just when I thought it couldn't get worse!
"This is my friend, Jessie," James said, "That's my other friend Meowth."
"Well, maybe you could ask your... friends to give us a little privacy!" Jessibelle said. Meowth got up to leave and dragged Jessie along with him. They went out from behind the bushes, but behind the building where they were still hidden.
"Jessie, do you know James' fiancee?" Meowth asked, "She looks exactly like you! What is she, your cousin? Your sister? Your twin?"
Jessie was shocked by his last comment, but tried not to show it as she lied, "Of course not! I've never seen her before!" Then, she saw the perfect opportunity to change the subject in the nearby window, "Look, it's the twirps! They're back in their room, fast asleep!"
"Lets get James and get that Pikachu!" Meowth said.
They ran back to the bushes, but as they got closer, they heard Jessibelle yell, "Don't
you ever leave me again!" the crack of a whip, and James screaming. Jessie shuddered, remembering the harsh punishments growing up in the Team Rocket base.
"I guess it's just us," Meowth said, "Come on, let's go get Pikachu."
Jessie and Meowth climbed in the twirps' window. They were all asleep, including Pikachu. They put Pikachu inside the cage, dropped it out the window, and were about to
jump out after it when they heard the door open behind them. there were Butch and Cassidy, back in their uniforms, not their pokemon center disguises.
"Hide!" Meowth whispered, and they crawled under an empty bed.
"Now we can steal all those kids' pokemon!" Butch said.
"How long have Jessie and James been on this mission?" Cassidy asked, "I'm getting tired of going behind those losers!"
"Did you hear something?" Butch asked, but Cassidy said she hadn't, so they started taking pokeballs from the twirps. They each had their hands full when Cassidy said, "But where's that Pikachu? He never puts it in a Pokeball!"
But James chose the worst moment possible to come after his friends. He and Jessibelle walked by the window as he said, "Look, Jessibelle, Jessie is just my friend, and right now we're working, so I have to find her."
Jessibelle looked in the window and saw Jessie under the bed, "She's right in there!" She said, then looked down and added, "What's this Pikachu doing here?"
"We got him!" James yelled, jumping in the window. Jessibelle followed.
"Jessie!" Cassidy exclaimed, "Where is she?"
"Jessie and James are always screwing up our plans!" Butch said. Then he saw Jessibelle, "Wait a minute, Jessie's right there. But why isn't she in her uniform, and did she do something to her hair?"
"I'm not Jessie!" Jessibelle said, "How insulting!" The real Jessie crawled out from under the bed, and so did Meowth.
Butch was confused, but Cassidy said, "Jessie! James! Jessibelle! What an unpleasant surprise! When are you going to learn to stop trying to steal the Boss' pokemon? We're taking over your assignment. How long have you been after that Pikachu?"
As if on cue at the word Pikachu, Ash woke up and said, "Team Rocket! You'll never get Pikachu!"
It was also the very worst moment possible when the door opened, and in came the reporter, looking for the owners to do an interview.
"Cassidy?" She exclaimed, "What are you doing here? Is this a pokemon center or a stealing center?"
"Cassandra!" Cassidy said, "The same could be asked of you. But why don't you ask Jessie, James, and Jessibelle? They're the ones stealing Pikachu."
"I wasn't doing anything," Jessibelle said, "I'm not the evil twin."
"And neither am I," Cassandra the reporter said, "What's going on here, Cassidy?"
Chapter 2
Ash the twirp actually (amazingly) forgot about Pikachu and looked around the room. He saw Cassandra and Jessibelle, realized that they were identical to Cassidy and
Jessie, and screamed.
Brock and Misty woke up. "Ash shut up!" Misty yelled. "Yeah, Ash, you just destroyed my dreams of Nurse Joy!" Brock yelled.
"But there's 2 Team Rockets and 2 more look-alikes!" Ash screamed. Shut up, twirp, Jessie thought, you can't see through our stupid disguises, so why did you have to see the resemblance now?
"Look-alike?" James asked, honestly not noticing the similarities, "I don't look like Botch!"
"One Jessie and one Cassidy were enough!" Misty said.
"But maybe that's what they meant by double trouble," Brock said, "And their doubles are kinda hot!"
"They look exactly like Jessie and Cassidy!" Misty said.
"James, lets go!" Jessie whispered, jumping out the window. James and Meowth followed. They grabbed the Pikachu and ran back to the bushes.
"You do so know those people!" Meowth insisted, "They knew your name."
"I guess we're famous," Jessie said, "Now help me get this balloon ready for our get away!" In only a few minutes, Jessie, James, and Meowth were high above the pokemon center in their balloon with Pikachu.
Meanwhile, Cassidy and Butch got away in their own balloon with all the twirps' other pokemon. Ash was crying his eyes out.
Once Jessie and James got back to their camp, James said, "Oh no! I can't find my bottle cap collection! I must've dropped them at the pokemon center!"
"Good riddance!" Meowth said, "Those things are stupid!"
"No, they're not!" James exclaimed, "We have to go back!"
"We'll go back tomorrow. Now we have to get some sleep," Meowth said, crawling into his sleeping bag, "Goodnight, James."
"Goodnight Meowth."
"Goodnight, Jessie" Meowth said, but when he got no answer, he said, "Jessie? You there?"
"She was here a minute ago!" James said, looking around, "Maybe we should go look for her."
"Nah, she can take care of herself. I'm going to sleep." Meowth said, "But didn't you notice the similarity between Jessie and your freaky fiancee and Cassidy and that reporter?" But James was already asleep.
Jessie was down at a nearby beach, sitting on the dock, thinking about what had just happened. James might be clueless, but Meowth definitely knew that something was up, and she had to think up a good story fast. But it was hard to think of anything other than her sisters and the awful memories they brought back.
Suddenly, Jessie felt somebody standing right behind her. She stood up, turned around, and came face-to-face with Jessibelle and Cassandra. "What are you doing here?" Jessie demanded, "Because of you we almost didn't get the Pikachu!"
"I'm here to get revenge on you for stealing my fiancee!" Jessibelle said.
"And I want revenge because that stupid kid accused me of stealing the Pikachu once you and Cassidy and those guys with strange coloured hair left and Officer Jenny showed up!" Cassandra said.
But they were interrupted by two people further down the beach yelling at each other. "Hurry up, Butch, we have to get these pokemon to the Boss before Jessie and James."
"It's the middle of the night, Cassidy! And those imbeciles will never get Pikachu to the Boss. Hey, it's Jessie and those girls from the pokemon center!"
Cassidy ran over to the dock, leaving Butch far behind, and said, "Stop following me!"
"We were here first, Cassidy," Cassandra said, "So you're following us."
"All I want is my James back!" Jessibelle said, "So get away from him, Jessie, or you'll get this!" She raised her whip, but Jessie pushed her in the lake. When Jessibelle surfaced, she angrily swung her whip at her sisters, and as they jumped out of the way, Jessie, Cassidy, and Cassandra fell off the other side of the dock. Still in the lake, the 4 girls attacked each other, until they heard someone behind them say, "It's Team Rocket!"
They all slowly turned around to see the twirps on the Lapras. It had been Ash who overstated the obvious, and he continued, "Where's my Pikachu, and who's on Team Rocket here?"
"Scram, twirp!" Jessie said, "Stop following us. We're not giving Pikachu back!"
Once again, there was a sound from behind them. This time it was James screaming as the Boss of Team Rocket dragged James, Meowth, and Butch down the beach. He locked them in the back of a stolen van, then said to the girls and twirps, "You make it easy to follow you. James left a trail of bottle caps, and you stupid kids left a trail of pokemon food."
"It's Giovanni the gym leader!" Brock said.
"That's right!" Giovanni AKA. the Boss said, "Now come here and see my Mew! It's right here in the back of my van!"
Ash steered the Lapras towards shore, then he and Brock ran over to the van and flung open the back. Misty, being slightly smarter than the other two, said, "Guys, maybe that's not a good idea!" But it was too late. The Boss shoved them into the van.
"Now come here, little girl!" He said to Misty. She screamed and tried to run back to the Lapras, but he grabbed her and threw her in the van. Then, he turned to Jessie, Jessibelle, Cassidy, and Cassandra, "So, quadruplets, we meet again!" he looked at the 4 girls and couldn't tell his employees from their look-alike, especially not when they were in a lake. He thought they looked ridiculously funny with their hair wet and stuck to their heads, even Jessibelle, who usually had curly hair. They had obviously been fighting, because they had injuries and tears in their clothes.
After being mutually beaten up, they weren't much of a fight for Giovanni, and he easily threw them in the van. He started to drive back to the Team Rocket Base.
"Hey! Team Rocket got me all wet!" Ash exclaimed.
"Shut up, Ash! If it weren't for your stupidity, we wouldn't be in here!" Misty said.
"Get off of me!" James yelled. He had been the first thrown in the van and was on the bottom of the pile.
After a mad scramble to get everyone off of everyone else, everyone found a place to sit and fell asleep.
"I've taken 10 prisoners," the Boss told his henchman as he drove into the Base.
"Are you going to destroy them, sir?" The henchman asked.
"No," The Boss said, "They all hate each other, so I'll throw them in a dungeon and they can destroy each other. It will save me the trouble."
