Finally, the long-awaited sequel to Galactic Dirt is here! If you're a new reader, fret not! For this prologue recaps the first story quite nicely. You don't even have to go back and read the first one if you don't want to or don't have time.

I have some people I would like to thank:

MoroPinky: the user who followed Galactic Dirt ever since the third chapter, your reviews always bring me such joy

roxy fan 4 ever: the user who helped me find perfect songs that I would've never thought to use unless you showed them to me, Galactic Dirt benefited greatly from you

loveableheart: the user who loved Galactic Dirt so much that you even made your own story based off of it, I'll have you know that it made me very happy to receive your message (also, for any new readers, loveableheart's story is called Galactic Girl Gone Good and you should definitely read it!)

Now, on to the sequel. Galactic Dirt was written entirely with Selena's POV, but this story will switch POV's by chapter. I will say who's POV it is at the beginning of each chapter. This prologue will have a section in each POV, just as an introduction. I hope I do not disappoint any of you readers with this sequel (people mentioned above, I mean you)! Oh, and the song in the prologue is "Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi (Just One Thought)" by KOKIA.

Prologue

Nicolas' POV

Hey, if you don't know me, my name is Nicolas and I'm 17 years old. I am in the extensive Officer Jenny family, as my aunt is one of them. I also happen to be a Sinnoh police officer with my arcanine, and we like to do contests in our spare time.

I'm not in Sinnoh right now, though. I'm in Kanto. Kanto is where the Team Rocket headquarters is. My aunt heads a squad here in Kanto that is working towards taking down Team Rocket. The squad consists of me, Selena, Karen, and Maya.

Selena is an ex Team Galactic commander. She somehow avoided getting arrested and lived in an alley in Jubilife City. This is where I met her. I had to keep an eye on her, because the police department I worked with knew her identity. I ended up traveling with her and Maya later on. It was amazing to watch Selena change from Team Galactic mentality into the good person she is now. I fell in love with her, even though our relationship hasn't progressed at all. If she does well on the squad, she doesn't have to go prison, which I am grateful for.

Karen is someone I haven't known for too long, but she is a very sweet girl. She is also the youngest of the group, considering Selena and Maya are also 17 like me and Karen is only 16. She doesn't seem very trusting of Selena or Maya, since they didn't help her when a Team Rocket operative stole her pokemon. Selena did get her pokemon back to her, though.

Maya is my ex-girlfriend. She works for us and Team Rocket. She is our inside source. We communicate via video chat. She, like Selena, used to be evil. I believe her change of heart happened when me and Selena rescued her from her kidnappers. She doesn't like me to talk about it though, so I won't go into detail.

And that's our squad. We work diligently to keep Team Rocket from ruining anymore lives.

Karen's POV

The psyduck started crying again and I went to tend to it. The headquarters of out squad is in the basement of a Pokemon Daycare Center, and I run the daycare center part. It's really lots of fun. Pachirisu, Shellos, Wormadam, and Beautifly (my pokemon) love to play with new pokemon friends.

Here in the squad, Nicolas is the only one that I can trust. Maya is the one who told Team Rocket to swipe my pokemon, and Selena wouldn't help at all. There's no way I can ever trust those two. I'm just so thankful to have had my pokemon returned. I gave up my entire life in Sinnoh (without my parents' permission) to come here and keep anyone else from going through what I went through when I had my pokemon stolen from me.

Selena's POV

Within the difficulty of accomplishing my one and only wish, I
Want to show you that I'll protect you to the end, for something irreplaceable, it's a promise that I want to fulfill

Within the world covered in doubts, I still haven't found the answer
Nevertheless, I advance forward- Why?
Cypress trees stretch into the sky; the road pointed straightforward
Let's believe in the miracle called now

A dreamlike reality- If it's something that I can change with my hands

Within the difficulty of accomplishing my one and only wish, I
Want to show you that I'll protect you to the end, for something irreplaceable
I vow to my pounding heartbeats, I'll keep on running until I burn up
Within the eternal love, which I can feel it indeed surviving, it's a promise that I want to fulfill

Sunflowers bloom at the foot of the hill; the dazzling and spreading yellowness
Illuminates the light of hope

When it comes to things that I can change
There should be a varied way of living

Let's risk everything; I want to be shining within my granted time
I'm just only breathing and being here; even though it's just that, my feelings overflow
I have my happiness; just by being able to think so, how much
Light, enough to be lovely, will this moment release?

It's a distance far too long to advance on alone
Won't someone open this door? I'm waiting

Within the difficulty of accomplishing my one and only wish, I
Want to show you that I'll protect you to the end, for something irreplaceable
I vow to my pounding heartbeats, I'll keep on running until I burn up
Within the eternal love, which I can feel it indeed surviving
It's a promise that I want to fulfill

The crowd went wild to my latest song. When I'm not tracking down and arresting Team Rocket operatives, I have a music career.

I walked backstage and saw my amazing pokemon, Jynx and Ditto. They've always been there for me, even when people haven't.

The last time I spoke to you like this, I mentioned that I wanted my relationship status with Nicolas to move out of the friend zone. That hasn't happened yet. I don't know what's stopping me.

Maya's POV

I am no longer the perky young villain I once was. I constantly have flashbacks from my time in that warehouse. I used to feel safe because I had Nicolas by my side and he promised not to let anything like that happen to me again. But Nicolas isn't here. I'm on my own.

I'm doing my best to protect myself. I no longer where that skimpy Team Rocket uniform that I used to wear (a black mini skirt, a black long-sleeved mid-drift top with a red R on it, black high-heeled boots, black gloves, and a black headband). Now I wear a long sleeved knee-length turtle-neck white dress doesn't showcase my body at all with a red R on it, black gloves, black boots, glasses, and my hair is in a conservative bun. By making myself unattractive, I'm keeping guys from looking at me. (FYI, my glasses aren't real. I take them off during the video reports to my squad to keep them from worrying.) I also make sure that I have Meribelle (tyranitar), Marc (eevee), and Milly (another eevee) out with me when I sleep.

Well, there is one guy who notices me, but only because he has to. He is my partner, Bradley of Unova. Yeah, I was demoted so low that I need a partner. He is my age, and he has shaggy red hair with a slight curl to it and orange eyes. He is loud, obnoxious, and doesn't take anything seriously. I can't stand him.
