The disoriented grunt stumbled into his commander's office, he didn't know how the commander would react to the news. "Umm..uh e-excuse me sir, I have order's from Giovanni" He managed to spit out. "...go on" The commander said. He turned his chair around so he was now facing the nervous grunt, he had no clue why the grunt's always acted like this around him. The grunt froze as he saw the commander's ice blue eye's starring straight at him. The commander's face showed no emotion, in fact no one had seen the commander even crack a smile ever since he joined the organization, he was just as intimidating as Giovanni, if not more. No one knew why he joined or how he became such a high ranking official in such a short amount of time. Most started off as a grunt, or if they were really talented, an admin, but the commander pretty much started off as Giovanni's right hand man.

"Are you just gonna stand there?" The commander said coldly, snapping the grunt out of his trance. "Oh-uh s-sorry sir, Giovanni has resigned, you are now the official leader of Team Rocket." The grunt said. He watched his new boss' face, hoping to see a sign of emotion. Nothing. "Please leave." The boss said closing his eyes. "Yes sir!" The grunt said, closing the door as he left. The boss got out from behind his desk and walked over to his window, as he starred out at the night sky he thought about his time before Team Rocket, before he was sad all the time, a time when he wasn't referred to as commander, back when he was simply Corey from Pallet Town.

"What you thinking about?" A voice said. Corey recognized this voice, a voice from the past, the voice of his one time rival and best friend. "It took you a year to defeat him?" He asked. "He was a lot stronger than you give him credit for. Didn't he defeat you?" The rival said. "You and I both know that he cheated, and if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here" Corey said. "Do you know how many Pokemon I've helped that man capture?"

"No but I do know one thing." the rival said, "with Giovanni's defeat, you're free." he approached the window. He pushed it open and grabbed a small ball off his waist band, the top half was red while the bottom half was white, the middle divided the ball with a black line, and also had a button on it. The rival pressed on the button causing the ball to open up, the red light that came out of the ball soon turned into a large orange dragon, who floated just outside of the window. "It's time for you to start over, the Pokemon league championship is in one month, I hope to see you there" The rival said before he jumped onto the Dragonite's back. The dragon flew off, leaving Corey alone in his office. "I'll see you there, Keem"

Corey opened the top drawer of his desk, revealing six pokeballs, he grabbed them all and left his office, running into an admin on the way. "Congratulation's on your promotion sir!" She said with a smile. "Save it, from here on out Team Rocket has disbanded" Corey said, " Spread the word and evacuate the building, it's coming down in five minutes" "yes sir!" she said before running off. Corey walked off in the opposite direction and towards the holding cage's, where Team Rocket held all of it's stolen Pokemon. He walked into the room and towards the machine in the center of it. Most of the Pokemon looked at Corey with fear in their eyes, he had helped capture most if not all of them. He pressed a few buttons and the cages opened, all the Pokemon fled. 'It's the least I could do' Corey thought as he left the room and about three minutes later, the building.

Outside the base there was a sea of black uniforms, all the rockets had successfully evacuated the building. " Today is a new chapter in all of our lives, the death of Team Rocket will lead to the birth of our new life" Corey said before he grabbed a pokeball out of his pocket, he pressed the button in the middle and released the Pokemon inside. A large orange dragon who's tip of it's tail was engulfed in a powerful flame. It let out a roar as it was released, it was Corey's first pokemon, a gift from the local professor, Professor Oak. "Charizard, Fire Blast" Corey said calmly. Upon command the large pokemon fired a giant ball of fire, setting the building on fire. All of the grunt's and admin's left before the building could be burnt to the ground, but Corey stayed and watched his prison burn all alone, or so he thought.

"Umm, e-excuse me sir?" a cowardly voice said. Corey turned around and saw the same grunt that delivered the news of Giovanni's defeat. "you don't have to call me that anymore...I'm sorry what was your name again?" Corey asked. "My name's Tommy, I'm from Lavender Town" He replied. "What are you going to do now that Team Rocket is dead, Tommy?" Corey asked. "I'm not sure" Tommy said, looking down at the ground. "I heard that the Pokemon league championship is starting in a month." Corey said looking at the grunt. "Yeah, maybe I'll try that" Tommy said.

Corey climbed onto Charizard's back, "I'll see you there" He said as the fire pokemon lifted itself off the ground. "Wait! Where are you going?" Tommy asked. And for the first time in over a year, the commander smiled, "I'm going home"
