Long list of various Team Rocket headcanons
Recently I had a really nice talk with @masterstarpikachu about Rocketshipping/general Team Rocket stuff, and some of the headcanons that were brought up are just too good not to be shared with the world so I have compiled them into a big post
Warning: Some small nsfw elements at the very beginning of this, please beware if you don’t like that kinda thing! Nothing explicit but like the evil word s*x is mentioned once so shield yo eyes kiddos
Contents of this post include:
- Controversy about the see-through level of Pokéballs
- Meowth and the Pokémon shittalking humans behind their backs
- Meowth and Jessie tease James about literally everything
- Meowth is a supportive friend in the most asshole-y way possible
- Jessie actually being nice for once
- Food
- Hot take but Jessebelle is a yandere
- Jessie almost dies but it's okay because the ship happens
Actual list under the cut because this good content here got long
- Starting topic that triggered this entire conversation:
- Jessie and James are about to get intimate, but just in that moment
- *Pokéball release sound* “WOOOOBBUFFET”
- So that raised an important question:
- How much exactly are Pokémon able to see out of their Pokéballs?
- Because most of the time when they’re called out mid-battle they immediately charge in without hesitating, so it seems like they know what’s been going on
- Larvitar was able to see out of its egg shell too which suggests similar things for Pokéballs
- Trainers, do not leave your Pokéballs in the same room you do private stuff in
- What if that’s how Meowth finds out Jessie and James are a thing
- “Meowth, how did you know? What do you mean Seviper told you?? How did Seviper know???”
- “…..oh my god”
- Mime Jr was too young to see that
- James will never live it down
- He’s too ashamed to look his son in the eyes ever again
- Probably needs to sit him down to have *the talk* and it’s the most shameful thing he’s ever had to do
- Does Mime Jr even understand what he’s saying? Does it care about what humans do? Probably not, but Meowth won’t think it’s necessary to point that out
- I like the idea of Meowth sharing gossip with the other Pokémon in general
- He’s barely seen talking to Pokémon, which is honestly a waste if you ask me? It’s like the writers forgot that bilingual people don’t actually forget their mother tongue
- Imagine Meowth and the other Pokémon just complaining about the dumb shit the humans do
- Besides, let him have some friends he won’t be the third wheel to lmao
- Literally tho, imagine all their Pokémon had seen their masters, ahem.. “blast off”
- Poor souls didn’t know Pokéballs were see-through from the inside
- Jessie would pretend not to care, she’s above that. There’s no reason at all to be ashamed. But she’d be blushing so hard she wouldn’t fool anyone.
- Shit’s awkward no matter how tough you are
- James wouldn’t even try to pretend, James would straight up die
- RIP James
- On another note
- James totally makes those little high pitched squeaky sounds during sex and you cannot change my mind it’s canon
- You know exactly what I mean
- There’s literally no way he doesn’t
- He’s tryna be all sexy and smooth and stuff but then Jessie starts touching him or something and he just SQUEAKS
- Secretly she finds it kinda hot in a weird way but she’d never admit it
- Pretends it’s a coincidence that she’ll keep trying to get him to make more of those sounds
- Meanwhile Meowth outside the door is like “what the actual fuck James”
- “Jimmy’s such a weird one”
- He’d tease James to no end about it
- Meowth embarrassing James about details of stuff he shouldn’t even know about is my new favorite thing
- Also Jessie trying to stop him but also holding back laughter because “well he’s not wrong”
- “WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!”
- C’mon she can’t turn down an opportunity to tease him
- James is then all embarrassed and lowkey offended and gives her the silent treatment
- He refuses to talk to her ever again
- Aka for like the next half hour or so
- Eventually she’d probably apologize though because even she isn’t THAT mean
- At least not when it comes to James
- Not always
- Maybe
- She gets soft around him when nobody’s around to see it
- Sometimes
- And maybe he’d forgive her if she did those things again...
- Jessie being soft with James is my absolute weakness though
- Especially since they’ve been friends for so long and he knows full well that nobody else is allowed to see that side of her ever
- It’d definitely make him feel special and loved
- Imagine Jessie letting her guard down and being kind to James for no reason other than because she genuinely wants him to be happy
- I am weak
- Even if it’s just little things
- Especially those tbh
- Just trying to cheer him up when he’s down instead of simply telling him to get over it
- Saving a nice bottlecap she found even though she never understood that hobby of his
- Just saving it for him because maybe he’d want it
- He’d be so touched
- Probably would make his entire week
- He’d save that one bottlecap forever
- Even if it’s not one of the kind he collects, or a duplicate or sth
- It’d be his most prized possession
- Something I really want to happen is them sharing their food properly, because you know that for those two that’d be a HUGE sign of affection
- The anime may pretend they share everything equally (they say so in an episode) but honestly 90% of the time they get in literal fights over the last scrap
- So one of them happily sharing could even be the first step of them realizing their feelings
- Like, maybe James would let Jessie eat his portion
- She’d definitely take longer than him to show any signs of affection
- And she just
- “Why’d you let me have it is something wrong with you?”
- “No…it’s just…you seem really hungry”
- When he offers her the food, instead of immediately devouring it like she usually would she just
- Stops and doubles back
- Stares at the food in his hands, then at him, back at the food
- “Are you serious?”
- In that moment he realized what he’s done and gets all defensive
- “Just eat it, Jess!”
- “I’m just not that hungry, okay?” (*stomach growling noise*)
- Then they are interrupted by Meowth
- “What about me? I’m starvin’!”
- In the end they just split it in three parts because sharing with them both is a bit less awkward to explain
- Also
- In the beginning when they start falling for each other, Meowth would be oblivious by choice
- As in he sees the signs but he ignores them because “nahhh no way”
- Then when he figures it out he mercilessly teases James about having a crush on Jess every chance he gets
- Though he’d do it without her hearing about it, because he isn’t THAT mean to him
- But when they actually start dating he realizes he was a FOOL and now he has to deal with that forever
- Like
- He probably gave James advice out of pity
- (James totally confides in him at some point because he just needs to talk to SOMEONE)
- But then Jessie went for it and he realizes too late what that means for him
- Now he needs to live with the consequences
- Meowth giving James love advice about Jessie though
- That sounds like a huge train wreck
- I mean he may tease him to no end but they’re still best friends so he’d still try to help when he realizes James is serious
- “That dumbass really got it bad huh”
- Deep down he does care for his friends after all
- He’s like permanently done with James’ shit but he still keeps his secret
- Although he can and will use his newly gained knowledge as blackmail whenever he wants something from him
- And at the same time half of his “advice” consists of “lol Jessie’s gonna kill you”
- “YOU’RE NOT HELPING MEOWTH”
- James is already well aware of that
- That’s his problem
- He’s been faced with the full extent of Jessie’s wrath before
- He knows better than to risk getting on her bad side
- On the other hand, it’s canon that when Jessie falls for someone she tends to actually act friendly and kind around them to some degree
- Which I’m assuming is an instinctive reaction because she doesn’t want to scare them off
- But falling for James would be weird since it’d trigger her instinct to be soft and good but at the same time
- “No that’s James wtf”
- She’s been treating him full force nasty for years and so far he hasn’t left so there’s really no need
- Honestly James tends to get freaked out whenever she’s calm because a nice Jessie is just WRONG
- Pure boy got so used to her mean antics he gets worried about her when she’s friendly to him
- As a result, before admitting her feelings even to herself, Jessie would instead get MORE mean out of defiance
- That darn Tsundere smh
- She cares a lot about him but she cannot show weakness her mind won’t allow it
- Nope
- Fight me, feelings
- Vs Jessebelle, who is a Yandere and should be feared
- And should also be decked in the face by Jessie tyvm
- Imagine an actual Yandere Jessebelle tho
- Nightmare fuel
- I mean that whip scene was already terrifying
- She broke a fucking dresser with the hit that was aimed at James
- I know it was exaggerated cartoon violence but like she almost straight up murdered him
- And his parents are okay with that??
- Because he’s too delinquent for her
- So he can just die apparently
- Now imagine her getting obsessed with him to the point of actively following him around to get him to marry her
- And trying to get Jessie out of the way to get him back
- Can I just say Horror AU right there
- I’m an angst writer don’t test me
- I like to take dark stuff and make it WORSE
- Picture this
- James coming back from a short trip to gather firewood or sth like that, only to find Jessie unconscious and bleeding from a stab wound
- :)
- Maybe Jessebelle is still standing there and laughing because she finally won
- Of course she’ll survive but just BARELY
- They’re in the middle of nowhere and James frantically tries to find someone to help her but they’re all alone
- I mean after all that blasting off they probably know some basic first aid at least
- He could stop the bleeding and then take her to a hospital with the hot air balloon
- Cue that good ol’ “refusing to leave her bedside until she wakes up” cliché thing
- But also imagine Jessie waking up in the hospital with James asleep next to her
- Maybe even subconsciously holding her hand in his sleep
- Because he was too worried about her and was probably talking to her before he ended up passing out from exhaustion
