-Prologue-

The Raniellis. A long family line of master criminals. The creators of the largest evil organization on the planet- Team Rocket. Now, every family has some rivalry going on, be it minor or major, well known or tucked away. And the Ranielli family was no different. There was some enmity about every other generation or so. But there was no competition like the one between two particular cousins- Giovanni and Midas Ranielli. Their battles ranged from the innocent act of telling on each other for no reason to the devious plot of tripping each other into the crowded street, accidentally of course.
The two hated each other, to say the least.
After Arianna Ranielli died, she left her responsibility of being the leader of Team Rocket to her son, Giovanni. Once Giovanni got settled into his new job, he never heard from his cousin. Figuring Midas had finally realized who the better cousin was, Giovanni did not pursue communication. But little did he know, Midas was everywhere. And he was getting ready for the biggest battle his cousin would ever see.
So, Giovanni forgot about his cousin for several years. Until one day…when Midas was finally ready.
