Old friends. // Giovanni & Cyrus

Giovanni had heard a very interesting rumor and no matter how unbelievable it was he could not let it go. It said that the Galactic boss had returned from the Distortion World. Giovanni knew Cyrus from back in the days when still running Team Rocket. The two used to be close - he was very aware of the man’s inner struggles and his dream of a new world.

Once hearing that Cyrus had finally entered the Distortion World, Giovanni had very mixed emotions about it. How insane must one be to step into the realm of that beast, Giratina? On the other hand perhaps Cyrus finally had found happiness..

As peculiar of a man as Cyrus was, Giovanni considered him a friend so when the word about his possible return surfaced he had to act, he traveled all the way to Sinnoh and with some help from his contacts Giovanni began the search and followed clues from one location to another.

Unfortunately it lead to nothing but there was one more place to go, Lake Valor.  Giovanni was quite confident he would not find Cyrus there but it was worth taking a look at nonetheless. He arrived there at night and he was surprised to see that the lake was back to normal after the incident with Team Galactic.

Giovanni continued his search and soon figured the surrounding area was like deserted, he would have to enter the cave in the center which he reluctantly did with the help of his pokemon. His steps echoed in the darkness as he moved on his way, Giovanni could not help feeling nervous for what he might come across in there.

Send “Stuck together!” for our muses to be handcuffed together for a week with no way out of it but to wait it out.

Long time no see. // Giovanni & Archer

Years had passed since had Giovanni’s loyal executives reached out to him through the radio broadcast. He was ready to return then but them youngsters interfered, defeating him right on the spot. The shame of his loss was too much to bear and he had to leave everything behind. He was ever haunted by the gut feeling that Team Rocket could possibly never be again.

Something intriguing yet intimidating had brought Giovanni back to his old hideout in Tohjo Falls. He was helped through by his Nidoqueen, slightly cringing as he looked around -  the bad memories coming to him.  He glanced at the tired-looking pokemon for a moment before returning it.

Archer was the reason he was there, maybe things would somehow turn out for the better. Giovanni leaned back on the wall as he gave it some thought. It certainly hadn’t been easy to get in touch with the once head executive but luck had favored him. He found out Archer’s number thanks to some old contact of his.

He eventually gained the heart to call the man and so they agreed to meet up. It was good to talk on the phone, almost felt like any other call they had had when working together. Now all there was left to do was wait..

But was Giovanni ready to face his most trusted man in person after all these years? Suddenly he wasn’t so sure, knowing he himself had been the one to abandon their cause in the first place. Slowly stress began to creep up on him and he tried his best to ignore it since he knew he had to see Archer again. They both deserved the closure that would hopefully come.
