Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: The Curse Of Maiden Ghost

[Soon...]

(Mew and the others decide to visit Maiden Rock to see the Maiden that has been turned to stone, waiting for her love to return.)

Brock: "So that's Maiden Rock! It's the most beautiful rock I've ever seen!"

(Brock says.)

(On the other side of the shrine, James and the others have gone to see the same rock.)

James: "I don't care if she's made of stone, I'm still in love with her!"

(James cries out.)

Brock: "If she were my girlfriend, I'd make sure she was never out of my sight!"

(Brock says, determined.)

(James calls out.)

James: "No one would ever steal her from me! Not even Team Rocket! I'll fight them to keep her safe!"

(As James screams, Jessie holds on to him with an annoyed expression on her face.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "James, you're insane! Why would we steal a thing like that?!"

(Then Meowth says.)

Meowth: "We could steal that other thing!"

Jessie: "What thing?"

(Jessie asks.)

Meowth: "Pokemon are valuable, but so are works of art! Let's swipe the painting!"

(Meowth says.)

(Jessie unknowingly lets go of James and says.)

Jessie: "If we grab that painting, we could make a bundle!"

[Suddenly...]

(James screams.)

James: "Jessie! Jessie! Before you grab it, grab hold of me!"

(Jessie quickly grabs hold of James, but they both fall over the edge and fall into the water.)

(Meowth shakes his head.)

Meowth: "Team Rocket is really slippin."

(Later in the night, Pikachu and Eevee are getting very sleepy.)

(Misty and Mew don't think they want to stay any longer.)

Mew: "Brock, I don't think the rock is going to go anywhere."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Yeah, let's go back to the festival. This is boring!"

(Misty agrees.)

Brock: "Why don't you all go back? I wanna stay here a little bit longer."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "You remember where we're staying tonight, right?"

(Mew replies.)

(Brock answers.)

Brock: "The Pokemon Center near the port, I'll make it back by curfew."

(Mew picks up her backpack, but looks at Brock with a confused expression.)

Brock: "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay,"

(Brock says.)

(Mew and the others decide to head back to the festival, but Mew can't help but feel concern about Brock.)

(After their time at the festival, Mew and the others are now at the Pokemon Center, waiting for Brock.)

(Just then, the clock strikes eleven and still no sign of Brock.)

Misty: "I'm getting worried, Brock still isn't back yet."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Maybe we should go look for him I'm worried,"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "I'm afraid we'll have to wait for tomorrow."

(Misty says.)

(Mew turns to see the Center is closing for the night.)

Mew: "I guess you're right. We'll look first thing in the morning."

(Mew says.)

[Suddenly...]

(the wind picks up fast making Meowth yelp.)

(Suddenly, the doors to the shrine opens and a mysterious figure is inside and begins to leave.)

(Confused, Meowth asks.)

Meowth: "What's that?"

(What Meowth is seeing is a ghost that looks like the Maiden.)

Meowth: AAAAAAAAA!

(Meowth screams in fright.)

(Suddenly, the ghost uses some strange power to make Meowth sleepy.)

(Feeling tired, Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Must be dreaming Back to sleep. Meowth."

(Then falls back to sleep.)

(The ghost floats to where Team Rocket is and calls out.)

Maiden ghost: "My love I'm waiting for you."

(And the voice soon wakes James up.)

James: "Who said that? Who are you?"

(James looks down to see the Maiden smiling at him.)

(James surprisingly says.)

James: "It's you! So it really was you!"

(On the other side of the shrine, Brock is still sitting where he is, watching the rock of the Maiden.)

Brock: "Two-thousand years."

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly, Brock feels a presence behind him, and quickly turns around to see the ghost.)

(The Maiden says.)

Maiden ghost: "I've been waiting for you, for such a long time."

Brock: "It's you! It's really you!"

(Brock says.)

(The ghost nods her head.)

[The next day...]

(Mew and the others make sure to wake up and hurry to the shrine, but Brock isn't at the spot where he's been sitting.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Brock?!"

Misty: "Brock?! Where are you?!"

(Misty calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pikachu?!" (Where are you, Brock?!)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Eevee: "Eev!" (Brock!)

(Eevee calls out.)

(On the other side of the shrine, James and Meowth are looking for James who has also disappeared.)

(Jessie calls out.)

Jessie: "James?! James?! If you're not here, at least come and tell us!"

Meowth: "That's right!"

(Meowth calls out.)

Mew: "Hey, Brock?!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Soon, the two parties meet and are shocked.)

Jessie: "Oh!"

(Jessie says, shocked.)

Mew: "You again!"

(Mew angrily says.)

(The two parties are not pleased to see each other.)

Jessie: "Yuck!"

(Jessie angrily says.)

Mew: "Double yuck!"

(Mew comments.)

Jessie: "I finally found you!"

(Jessie says.)

(Then remembers.)

Jessie: "Oh, wait a minute! None of you are the one I'm looking for!"

(Confused, Mew asks.)

Mew: "Hey, are you looking for somebody, too?"

(Jessie clears her throat and does the Team Rocket motto.)

Jessie: Prepare for trouble

Jessie (Imitating James): And make it double.

(Then Jessie mutters.)

Jessie: "Doing this by myself is a real drag."

(Mew and the others become confused, of course, they come to realize who they're looking for.)

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation

Jessie (Imitating James): To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love..

(Suddenly, James' voice appears.)

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

(Jessie stops to hear James' voice and begins to look around.)

(Yet, she then continues with the motto.)

Jessie: Jessie?

James: James.

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now,

(Suddenly, everyone turns to the shrine as the doors open and James flies out.)

James: or prepare to fight!

(James soon falls to the ground, and Jessie and Meowth are shocked.)

Jessie: "He looks awful!"

(Jessie exclaims.)

Meowth: "Worse than usual!"

(Meowth adds.)

(Soon, Brock falls out of the shrine.)

Mew: "Brock, what happened?"

(Mew asks, shocked.)

(Misty kneels to Brock.)

Misty: "Pull yourself together!"

(Suddenly, James grabs Jessie's leg.)

(Jessie then grabs James by his shirt and shakes him.)

Jessie: "What do you think you're doing?"

(Suddenly, the old woman appears.)

old woman: "So, everything turned out just as I predicted."

(Everyone turns their heads to see the old woman from the other day.)

Mew: "It's the old woman,"

(Mew says, surprised.)

old woman: "Obviously, these two have both seen the ghost of the Maiden."

(The old woman says.)

two parties: "Ghost of the Maiden?"

(The two parties say, shocked.)

[Suddenly...]

(Brock and James keep saying that they love the Maiden's ghost.)

(Then hug each other.)

old woman: "They're possessed!"

(Suddenly, Brock and James keep saying that they love the Maiden's ghost.)

(Then hug each other.)

Mew: "They're possessed!"

(Mew panics.)

(Then calls out.)

Mew: "Pikachu!"

(Pikachu then performs a Thunderbolt and gives them an electric shock.)

(Brock calmly says.)

Brock: "Uh, who am I? I am Brock."

Mew: "Brock's back!"

(Mew happily says.)

James: "I'm James from Team Rocket."

(James says, getting up.)

(Then James begins to act weird.)

Jessie: "He's back,"

(Jessie says.)

Meowth: "But not to normal,"

(Meowth replies.)

(In the shrine, the old woman explains.)

old woman: "All men who pass this way fall under her spell. It's always the same story over and over, we find them here acting like zombies with the life sucked out of them, babbling like idiots. It's the work of that maiden's ghost! Still waiting for her young soldier to return! It's just as I warned you."

Brock: "So what? Who cares, as long as I can be with her."

(Brock says, still dazed.)

(Mew waves her hand in front of Brock, but he doesn't flinch.)

(Mew worriedly says.)

Mew: "He isn't cured!"

(Soon, James panics.)

James: "I'm scared! You got to do something!"

old woman: "There's only one thing we can do."

(The old woman says.)

(Soon, everyone becomes confused.)

old woman: "We have stickers."

(The old woman says, holding stickers.)

(Then puts them on James and Brock's faces.)

(The old woman adds.)

old woman: These are anti-ghost stickers. However…"

Mew: "What's the catch?"

(Mew asks.)

(Suddenly, a cash register appears.)

(And the old woman says.)

old woman: "I can't just give these stickers away for free."

Mew: "Oh,"

(Mew replies.)

(Soon, Mew and Misty begin to stick the shrine up with the Anti-Ghost stickers.)

Mew: "Oh well, if it's the only thing that'll help."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "We'll stick stickers all over the place!"

(Misty says.)

(In the house, Pikachu and Eevee are sticking stickers on Brock while Jessie and Meowth do the same for James.)

James: "This'll really work, right?"

(James worriedly asks.)

(Jessie then puts the sticker on James' mouth.)

Jessie: "Shut your mouth!"
