Meowth, like Pikachu, refuses to evolve

Looks like this part of town's fallen on hard times. But times were always hard here, at least for me.
My story's a bittersweet one, like a cheap chocolate bar. The first thing I remember was being alone. No family, no friends, no home. My stomach was empty and so was my heart. Even a basket of baseballs looked good enough to eat. But one day temptation got the best of me and I knocked over a bin of baseballs and the head coach tied me up in a tree.

"Bad Meowth! You deserve to be punished!!!"
I cried and cried and finally cried myself to sleep. Then something woke me up. "Alright alright settle down everybody, we've got a special treat for you tonight. Tonight we'll be showing a new movie direct from Hollywood. So without any further adieu, here's tonight's special presentation of "That darn Meowth." There was a movie screen on the baseball field and there was a movie showing, my first real movie. I'll never forget what I saw on that screenIce cream, ahh, fried chicken, ahh, I knew what I had to do. Go West Young Meowth, go west to Hollywood, the place were there was ice cream and fried chicken waiting just for me. I finally broke free and pitched my dream on a truck heading for Hollywood, and tinsel town was the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Get out of here you mangy Meowth!!! I'll teach you!" The streets of Hollywood were colder than the ice cream I craved. Nobody cared about a young hungry Meowth. My life was at a dead end. Until one day, I wondered upon a gang of street Meowth that were willin to take me in. The next day I tasted fried chicken for the first time in my life. I ate and ate, but I was still starvin'for love. And then and then I met her.

I was wanderin' through a not so familiar area when I saw her. And she was beautiful. I couldn't help myself; I ran across the street so fast that I caused a five-car pileup. I immediately ran to her side and serenaded her with my lovely Meowth voice. Her voice was angelic. Everything was going just lovely until...
"Oh! You dirty little Meowth, stay away from my gorgeous little Meowsy! Come on darling, time to go bye bye with mummy. I've got a brand new diamond studded pokeball just for you my poopsy woopsy!" I saw the way she looked at those jewels, I knew I didn't stand a chance. How could I compete with diamonds?

In Meowth land, which Meowsy told me, "She's a rich lady and she can buy me anything I wants, and what are you, your not rich, your not even human, your just a street Meowth, you'll never be human. So just forget about me." I was crushed as she drove off in her new diamond studded pokeball. If I wanted her I had to make myself human, and humans walk on two legs not four. So I learned to walk like a person, a weird person, but a person. I could walk on two legs, but I couldn't run fast enough. And the owner of the fried chicken shop caught me. That's when I learned to crawl.

I'd taken shelter in the attic above a ballet center and I overheard the pupils learning proper pronunciation of "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." Talking was hard, but I wouldn't give up. "Under the evening sky with the moon high up above, I learned to speak human because this cat's got puppy love. I'll stand on two legs, hold my head up high and she'll want me, wait and see. I'll write poetry and recite it myself for Meowsy."
I had my heart set on Meowsy, so I kept running, and I kept getting caught, but I got a little faster everyday. And the ballet teacher taught, "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." And I would say, "Meo seo sellls my ma me smore" Until finally I muttered, "Mee mells see sells my the sea shore, huh? HEY! SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS!" I didn't know what seashells were but I was finally talking, so I got myself a picture book and tried to figure out the alphabet.

"R is for ro raw Rocket", If that hadn't been the first word I understood, "T is for, prepare for Trouble!", "And D is for make it Double!" I might not have joined the illustrious team rocket. "H for happy, M for marry! And M is for Meowsy" Oh my dream came true! I could talk! So I gathered enough courage to approach Meowsy,

"Ahh Meowsy, just look at me now! See I can stand on two legs just like a human does, and I can talk human talk too. I'm just like a human now Meowsy. And here I bought these flowers just for you!" And here's what Meowsy said. "What's so human about you, look at yourself, you may stand on two legs and talk like a human, but you're still just a dirty street Meowth with no money. You're worse than before. Now you're a freak."

I was crushed, "She thinks I'm a freak!!! Well I'll show her, I'll become the richest most powerful freak she ever saw and she'll come crawling back to me begging for my love." That was the last I ever saw of Meowsy, Hollywood, and my old gang. I joined up with team rocket to become rich and powerful, but my dream just never came true...
