It's crazy how different things can be when your parents aren't evil! Departure from my usual kinds of videos, but I love Pokémon and I love doing videos about something insignificant that take way to long to make! This was a match made in heaven. Also, did this video make it clear how much I enjoyed the Diamond and Pearl anime? Gen 4 absolutely got me back into Pokémon after trying to ignore it because I was "an adult". Ha.

Why didn’t he run away with Growlie and start a Pokémon journey? He’s too nice for a criminal, and actually has a way with Pokémon that could make him into a great trainer.

It speaks to his parents wanting James to grow and mature on his own as outside of Koffing (and I assume fitting the bill for care should he transfer any pokemon to his grandparents or the mansion) they didn't help him much on the journey.

This info is being referred to in this video by giving it to him a few years early.

Imagine making a Doujin with this in mind. Ah~ One of my long lost projects. James in this dimension is a worthy rival / gym leader, not only limited to Ash. I would also love to follow Jessie and James love story in this world. A sadistic tsundere Jessie would certainly evolve to an ara-ara goddess later on. This dimension's Meowth would also be a fit for a "butler" but loyal friend and equal standing kind of way to James, who may later pursue volunteering in a Day Care Center or Pokémon Camps. I cannot unsee the idea of Meowth bridging baby Pokémon to young children and maybe matching them with their perfect starter Pokémons. This is due to the fact that he understands the two worlds, the humans' and the Pokémons'. He would never probably evolved to a Persian, but if he does, he would be a good looking one. An ikemen for Pokémons, noble and gallant looking. As if the badge on his forehead shines gold. A James who is not an aristocrat and has learned his way of life through simple living. A Jessie who is foul-mouthed who later emanates a ray of hope and a caring attitude. A once abandoned Meowth is surrounded and looked up upon by people and Pokémon alike. This is one of the alternate timelines I had envisioned for as long as I can remember.

I must say, this story was really well planned and constructed. Despite being such an overlooked detail in his backstory, James being engaged to Jessebelle was the final straw that pushed him into the path that led him to Team Rocket. It really makes you wonder what would've happened if that wasn't forced upon him. And him being a trainer and going on a journey does seem realistic, seeing as some of his flashbacks show him enjoying being around Pokémon. Also, nice touches with adding Jessie and Meowth there. I would love to see how this new James does in Orange Islands and possibly in other regions. Might be asking a lot there, but nonetheless, I very much enjoyed this 'What if'!

This little 'what if' scenario went perfectly and I'd love to see this series continue. James could learn about Pokemon Coordinators during his exploration of the Orange Isles and fits that to be a much better fit with him than being a Battler. Again, Jessebelle follows and causes problems, but with Meowth ready to use her face as a Scartch-ing post, she can only cause problems, being too afraid of Meowth and James's other pokemon to confront him directly. Especially after James runs into Jessie again, which itself is a whole event because of Meowth's loathing towards Jessebelle. Jessie is on her own journey now, testing herself as a Battler and Coordinator, and while James takes an interest in Coordinator competitions, he's more relaxed as he explores the Orange Isles, so asks if Jessie would mind if he came with her on her journey. Despite a bit of hesitation, Jessie agrees, saying she 'doesn't mind' him 'following' her. This leads to two events with Jessebelle, the first of which has Jessebelle confronting James and Jessie, accusing James of 'cheating' on her and Jessie of 'stealing my James.' James argues he and Jessebelle were never together, Jessie argues she isn't stealing anyone from anybody, followed by Jessie beating Jessebelle in a pokemon battle, then punching Jessebelle when she tries to attack James for cheering for and praising Jessie. Leaving an embarrassed and furious Jessebelle behind, Jessie admits she understands now why James reacted the way he did when they first met, both raising the question of why the two girls look alike, but James gives up on trying to puzzle it out first, admitting he much prefers Jessie over Jessebelle, causing Jessie to blush before punching him for his sappiness and marching off, unable to make herself stop blushing. In the second event, which doesn't happen for some time, Jessebelle returns, intending to get her revenge of Jessie and finally make James hers. To do this, Jessebelle waits for James and Jessie to separate, then trick Jessie into a dangerous situation in order to get rid of her, maybe even pay someone to do it, wanting Jessie to get hurt. Then, while Jessie is being taken care of, Jessebelle will take Jessie's place, pretending to be Jessie, having been practicing to speak and act like Jessie, planning to deceive James until he marries her, after which it will be too late. And Jessebelle pulls this off remarkably well, being able to trick James and all of his pokemon, even Growly; but not Meowth. Having always been on guard around Jessie due to her resemblance to Jessebelle, Meowth is too watchful and suspicious, ignoring when James tells him to relax, eventually provoking Jessebelle to speak with her normal accent, revealing her true identity. James demands to know where Jessie is, and though still furious, Jessebelle refuses to tell him, admitting that while she may not have tricked James like she planned, she'll still get her revenge on Jessie for trying to steal him away. James snaps and, for the first time in her life, Jessebelle sees James truly angry, and actually hits her. As she's still recovering from the blow, James shouts at her, telling Jessebelle exactly what he thinks of her and that he has and now always will hate her. James then goes running off in search of Jessie, Meowth following; if this happens in a city, he notices something Jessebelle dropped when he struck her, giving him a clue on where to go. James arrives in time to save Jessie, who has been fighting to escape since falling into Jessebelle's trap but both she and her pokemon are nearing exhaustion, making her very grateful for James's arrival. James gets Jessie to safety, then apologizes to her, explaining what happened and blaming himself for Jessie being put into the bad situation she was, not holding it against her if she doesn't want to be around him anymore. Jessie stares at James for a moment before punching him, weakly due to her exhaustion, before hugging him, calling him a stupid idiot and asking if he really expected her to blame her best friend for what some psychopath does? James smiles and hugs Jessie back, thanking her. The two then head for the nearest pokemon center, James attempting to carry Jessie so she can rest, but he's not very strong and fails miserably. Jessie smiles, blushes, and laughs, before just leaning on his shoulder as they head off. The last shot of Jessebelle is her exactly where James left her, now curled up into a ball and crying, yet clenching her hands into tight fists. At the end of the Orange Isles journey, an older Coordinator whom both James and Jessie competed against talk to the pair and, while talking about the skills they each showed in the competitions, mentions the Performer showcases in Kalos where they are from and gave them an edge as a Coordinator, and suggests the pair check it out, believing they would like it a lot. Jessie and James agree to consider it, first wanting to return home, but promising to keep in touch and, if they want to check out Kalos and Pokemon Performers, they will do it together. This is exactly what they end up doing, agreeing to meet up at the airport and, together, fly to Kalos to learn about Pokemon Performers, ending things there and setting up for Season 3.
