Ok thanks to a kindred reviewer I'll actually reply now. Last time I clicked a button I didn't know what it was I No Contested a Brawl. In any case... thanks for reading and hopefully this one is a bit more interesting. GOOD NEWS: INFRARED IS NEXT D! So read, enjoy, and review!

How did Mars join Team Galactic if she's so young? Well, let's just say if you could agree to join Team Rocket on Nugget Bridge, I soooooo would.

Once upon a bright and sunny day there was a new trainer standing outside the ominous Mt. Coronet, ready and waiting to go inside to further her adventures in the Sinnoh region.

After being shipped away from her home in Kanto to this strange, cold region, the young red-head had found Professor Rowan and received her starting Pokemon from him, a Shinx. He was out of all the normal starters and as she had no place to stay until he got more, he let her go with the little electric-type.

This lonely girl and her optimistic, energetic Pokemon set off for Oreburgh City to win her first badge, catching a rather grumpy Glameow along the way.

Narrowly defeating the very young and inexperienced leader Roark, they headed off to Jubilife City, catching a spare Bidoof along the way to trade for a good Starly on the GTS, a new, revolutionary means of Pokemon trading, still in its very early stages and regarded as a prototype.

Scanning the system for a Starly of quality, she amazingly stumbled across a female, shiny Starly that wanted a Bidoof and immediately made the trade.

There had never been such cries of joy and excitement heard in that building, and there haven't been any since. The abandoned, unloved daughter of Team Rocket's boss had finally been set free of her abusive household, received her first Pokemon, caught two, and made a trade with someone else for a SHINY, not to mention she got a gym badge.

The youngling happily skipped off to Floaroma Town and up to Eterna City through the forest, gladly fighting all the trainers who challenged the red-eyed girl.

She defeated Gardenia with relative ease with the help of her powerful Starly, who evolved into Staravia. Shinx had already evolved into Luxio in the first gym battle.

Up in the corner of the city, however, was a dark building under secret construction, looming over the town with a malevolent aura.

Visiting the Bike Store, the owner delighted in seeing her cute little Pokemon and gifted the trainer, walking around in worn tennis shoes that barely fit anymore, a nice red bike to ride around on.

Hopping on it and speeding down the cycling road, the beginner found the large mountain previously mentioned and stared at its opening, preparing to go in.

She called her Luxio out to light the way, slowly pedaling along.

Until she met a tall, young, depressed man with light-blue hair and eyes staring off into the distance.

She was immediately taken by this handsome figure, despite the agony that tormented his face. He was obviously at least ten years older than her and she felt it was wrong to be attracted to him, but she couldn't help it.

"Hello young lady, that is a nice Luxio you have there. I assume you are traveling from town to town, collecting gym badges?" he asked in a cool, confident voice that was devoid of emotion.

"Yes sir, I am. My name's Gabriella, but everyone calls me Mars. If you don't mind my asking, what are you doing?" she sweetly replied, smiling innocently at him.

"I am going to Eterna City to check the progress of one of my buildings there. I am the head of an organization dedicated to reshaping the world into a better place for everyone to live. Unfortunately, most people find me to be crazy, and my methods faulted, my dream useless. You have a nice name, child, it seems familiar from somewhere. You may address me as Cyrus," the older, emotionless human explained, turning from the wall to the sweet young thing in worn red and grey sneakers, a red plaid schoolgirl skirt and a grey polo.

"Oh wow, that sounds like such a great goal! I wish my mom was like that, instead of as selfish as she is. Everyone calls HER Madame Boss, she's the head of Team Rocket back in Kanto, where I'm from. My step-dad doesn't like me and sent me here, far away from them and his son, my older half-brother. It's lonely, though, with just my three Pokemon as company," Mars sighed, looking very sad.

"I knew you looked familiar. You may have heard of my company, Team Galactic. I have never before met a person of your age who can see the greatness we could provide to the world, the universe, even. Truly, you are unique, and your family is foolish to treat you so carelessly," Cyrus reached out to stroke her face before jerking his hand back as it trailed along her chin.

She turned rather pink as he clasped his hands behind his back.

"Yeah, I remember Mommy mentioning you guys sometimes… I'd, um, kinda like to join you, you know, like, get hired… you sound so noble," she admitted, slightly blinded by her infatuation for her own mother's rival in regional teams.

"That would be… acceptable. Come, I shall examine Eterna City operations later; let us return to my main headquarters in Veilstone City now. There is a gym there as well…" he drifted off, leading the young, love struck girl out of the cave and off to her new home.

-…--…--…-

"So Cyrus, you finally found yourself a nice little loli, eh?" one of the two commanders laughed as Cyrus brought Mars out, dressed in her uniform and smiling, to present to the team.

"She is NOT a love slave, let me assure you. This, team, is your new commander, Mars. I expect you to treat her with the utmost respect even though she is young. If I find anyone is mistreating her, you shall be SEVERELY punished," Cyrus announced to his growing organization as they all clapped for her inauguration.

"You're right; she's not a love slave. She's your willing 10 year old toy. Cyrus, you're 20, what is wrong with you?" the other commander yelled at him.

The two current commanders were a male and female, both black-haired and blue-eyed, and not the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. If they were originally given names, nobody remembered them, as they always demanded to be called 'Commander, sir/ma'am' instead.

"Both of you, get out of here. There is nothing wrong with me, but you two obviously have major malfunctions. I apologize for their rude behavior, Mars, do not take it personally."

That was the start of Mars' puppy-love crush growing even deeper until she completely adored her boss. He had taken her under his wing, sheltering her from the constant insults of her fellow commanders until they were captured by the police and replaced by Saturn and Jupiter.

She was always so grateful to Cyrus for taking her out of a life of loneliness and misery and being her friend. Her devotion to him was greater than that of any of the other members, and everyone knew she was his favorite employee, even if he denied having preferential feelings.
