Fantasy Fight Club: Jessie vs. James

Jessie from PokemonWelcome back to Fictional Fight Club, where two fictional characters FIGHT TO THE DEATH! Last week, we had heroes battle it out. But this week’s battle is with villains. Our first two competitors are usually a packaged deal, causing mischief wherever they trek. After attempting and failing on capturing Pikachu, these two are at their wits end and ready to take it out on each other. Prepare for trouble and make it double! It’s Jessie and James from Pokemon!

James PokemonBoth of them are goofy goobers with one goal in mind: capturing Pikachu to give to their boss, Giovanni. Even though their goals are similar, they come from completely different backgrounds. James grew up rich but neglected by his parents, while Jessie was poor and rejected from being a Pokemon nurse. Both of their motivations and charming personalities lead them to be a fun duo, but it can cause arguments and eventual battles.

Speaking of which, it’s battle time! Starting off, Jessie throws out an Arbok, a poison Pokemon. James retaliates with Inkay, a dark and psychic Pokemon. After dealing out a Poison Fang from Arbok, Inkay strikes back Hypnosis. While asleep, Inkay hit Arbok with a critical hit, leaving the Pokemon to faint. Jessie wasn’t done though, as she pulled out another special Pokemon, the ghost & fairy Pokemon, Mimikyu.

Mimikyu came out swinging, hitting Inkay with an Energy Burst. Taking a lot of damage, the Pokemon fainted, leading James to change course. He throws out Growlithe, the fire Pokemon, attacking with a Flash Fire. Both Pokemon were fighters, each dealing devastating hits one after the other, healing in between. They head towards each other in fury, crashing against one another.

After the smoke cleared, Jessie and James realized that both of their Pokemon had fainted at the same time. Before throwing out another Pokemon, Meowth, their third, came prowling in, bashing their heads together. After yelling at them for being stupid, the two of them apologized to each other. With their petty squabble out of the way, they are now off to try to capture Pikachu once again. Now, for the main event, giving it up for Joker and Harley Quinn!
