It was a stormy night throughout the Kanto region. Everyone was sleeping peacefully through the night. Meanwhile, a seventeen-year-old Jessica, the female member of the Team Rocket trio, consisted of her partner James and Meowth. Her long red hair wrapped around her stomach had been sleeping in her bed in a cabin since she had gone to sleep hours. Her Pokemon Arbok and Lickitung are sleeping in the corner of her room.

Jessica was lying on her bed, shivering, and let out a groan every now and then as she slept. When suddenly, she was woken up by a tickle on her nose, which twitched around as her nostrils started to flare.

She slowly sat up and rubbed her nose as she quietly sniffed, trying to keep quiet as she saw her two Pokemon sleeping; but was trying to get rid of the itching sensation in her nose, but it wasn't working as her nose kept itching, and her nostrils continued to flare up. Her breath began to hitch as she felt a sneeze coming.

"Aaah...Aaaaahh...Aaaahhhh..." Jessie tilted her head back and brought two fingers up to her nose as her nostrils quivered and flared up, trying to hold the sneeze in."Aaaaaaahhh...Aaaaahhh..." Jessie inhaled again quietly as she tilted her head farther back, and her breath continued hitching."Aaaaaahhh...Aaaaaahhh..." She tilted her head as far back as possible when she released her sneeze.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht!"

Jessie doubled over as she released three stifled sneezes with her nose still pinched. She was about to let go, and her nostrils twitched and flared up as she needed to sneeze again.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht!" Jessie suddenly doubled over and sneezed once again three more times.

Jessie released her nose from her tight grip and sniffed quietly and wet as she looked at the clock and saw that it was about 12: 15 am. She felt a headache coming on as her head began to feel warm.

'I don't feel so good all of a sudden.' She thought as she rubbed her pounding head before her nose once again started to twitch and got ready to stifle another sneezing fit.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! "Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht!"

That was her third fit of sneezes since she woke up from her unrestful sleep, four hours of sleep.

'Come on; please be done, sneeze. I don't know how much more I can stifle. You're doing it so your two Pokemon can sleep. Need to keep going till my nose is settled down.' Jessie thought as she glanced at her her sleeping Pokemon.

Another intense tickling sensation grew inside of Jessie; redded nose as it started twitching and quivering nose. She rubbed her nose with her forefinger in an attempt to stop the tickle. The desperate need to sneeze beat her. She quickly clamped her nose with her entire hand as the sneezes broke loose.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'ksshh! Hnn'gtt! Ht'kshht!"

The fit left her light-headed as she let out a quiet, raspy breath. She didn't know how long she would be sneezing tonight because the stifled sneezes were getting increasingly painful, but her Pokemon were constantly battling hard. She didn't have the heart to disturb their sleep.

Ehh-t'sheww!"

Jessie froze as that sneeze snuck up on her without warning that. She couldn't even attempt to stop it are stifled it. She once again glanced at her Pokemon and saw them stir before their body went limp and continued to breathe evenly, a sign of still sleeping.

She let out a breath of relief at how close that was. She was reaching the point where she didn't think she could stifle much longer. She knew that she needed to get somewhere to unleash her ticklish sneezes and blow her stuffy nose as noisily as she needed. She remembers that the bathroom downstairs, closest to the kitchen, should work. All the bedrooms are upstairs, so she wouldn't risk waking up anyone. So she could give her nose the release it needed.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'ksshh! Hnn'gtt!"

That did it for Jessie. She kept her one hand clamped against her nose as she shut it in a death grip. She quietly got out of bed and walked towards the bedroom door. She was being careful not to wake Arbok and Lickitung.

The door opened slowly while Jessie's eyes fluttered trying to shut, and her mouth twisted into a scowl, her usual pre-sneeze expression. She fought the tickle sensation in her nose as she walked out of the room and quietly closed the door before walking towards the stairs to head to the downstairs bathroom.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'ksshh! Hnn'gtt!" Jessie doubled over and nearly tripped down the stairs as ahe stifled another fit of sneezes, and mucus flooded through her nose. She was definitely needed a good nose blow and glad she was almost to the bathroom where she could sneeze freely and blow her nose. She just had to go down a few more steps.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht! Ht'ksshh!" Jessie doubled over and released another few sneezes into her hand, still clamped around her nose.

Jessie paused in her walk toward the bathroom door as she let out a harsh cough. That cause the back of her throat to burn. The need to sneeze still plagued her as her nose continued to tickle as her nostrils began to twitch once again. As she began to open the bathroom door, she pitched forward and released two more stifle sneezes.

"Ht'kshht! Ht'kshht!"

She let her nose free of its death grip after close the door. She could feel nostrils quivering and flaring up as another tickle sensation grew in her nose.

"Huh..." Her breath started to hitch as her nostrils quivered and flared as she tilted her neck back as her nostrils continued growing and shrinking."Huuuhhh...Huuhhhhhhhhhh..." Everyone gasped. She took tickle her nostrils more and more."HuuuuhhHHHH..."

There was a belief paused with no release at first. She almost thought the sneeze was gone until she took a sniff as the tickle suddenly came back, causing me to inhale one more time. HuuuhhhhHHH.."

"HUHHHHH-TSCHOOOOOOOOO!" She shot her head forward as she released a slightly loud sneeze, and a mild amount of mucus shot out of her nostrils and mouth hitting the sink mirror.

Jessie sniffed and rubbed her sore nose with her hand, accidentally brushing her long hair against her nose, causing her to need to sneeze faster. Then her breath began to hitch her head was immediately tossed back.

"EHHHHH-TSHEWWW! HUHHHHH-TSCHOOOOO! AHHHH-CHEWWWWW! AHHHHHH-CHOOOOooooo!" Jessie doubled over as she released four uncovered sneezes which caused mucus to shoot out her nostrils and onto the mirror again.

She sniffed wetly as she grabbed a tissue from the box on the sink and wiped the mucus off the mirror before throwing it away and catching a fresh one to blow her nose, causing her breath to hitch.

"Ahhh..." She tilted her head back as she inhaled."Haaah..."She tilted her head back and inhaled as his nostrils quivered and flared up."Haah..." She continued to inhale as she tilted her head even farther back.

"Heh...Haaaaaah..." Jessie tilted her head again, rubbing her nose with the tissue in her hand."Haaaaahhh.."

Jessie's nose continued twitching and flaring as the tickle sensation was getting stronger and stronger as her breath continued to hitch, a sign of what she felt was possibly a big sneeze, but hopefully not loud enough to wake anyone.

"Heee...aaaahh...Aaaaahhh...Haaaahhhh...aaaAAAHH..." Jessie tilted her head as far back as she could as she inhaled as her sneeze got closer to being released. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaaaaahhhhh...HaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHEWWWWWW!"

Jessie's head shot forward as she released a powerful sneeze into her tissue, and a massive amount of mucus shot out of her nose, thoroughly soaking the tissue. She tilted her head back as she inhaled again and released another sneeze.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOO!"

She doubled over and released another massive sneeze, and tore the soaked tissue as more mucus shot out of her nose that was now as red as blood. She didn't have time to grab another tissue as she inhaled again immediately. Another sneeze was on the way.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-KKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

She once again doubled over as she released another sneeze, completely uncovered as a considerable steam of mucus shot out of her nose and into the sink. After a couple of minutes, Jessie caught her breath and picked up the ripped tissue off the ground, and threw it away before reaching over to grab some fresh ones to blow her nose. Suddenly she heard the bathroom door open.

"Licki, tung! Arbok!"

She froze hearing those familiar pokemon cries and turned around with the new tissue on her nose as she saw her Lickitung and Arbok behind her, with Arbok using its tail to hold the door open.

"Lickitug and Arbok, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?' She asked, concerned, as she finished blowing her nose. "I was trying to be quiet but had to sneeze real bad."

"Lickitug."

"Arbok."

"Your not mad is that what you said?" She asked, throwing the tissue away before letting out a groan, feeling exhausted and stuffy still.

Arbok and Lickitug both shook their heads no as they looked at their master with concern.

"I'm fine; I just need some sleep. I didn't wake James and Meowth, right?" She asked as she turned on the sink after wiping her mucus off the mirror.

"Lickitug," Lickitug said, shaking his head no.

"That goo-" Jessie paused as she started to cough harshly as she finished washing her hands.

"Arbok."

"I will be finbe,' She replied, full of congestion as she left the bathroom with her two pokemon following her back upstairs after shutting the light off.

Jessie sighed as she looked at the clock and saw it was almost 2:00 am. She sighed as she laid back in bed and drifted off to sleep, not paying attention to her two pokemon concerned glances.
