Giovanni sighed contently as he walked through Viridian Forest, Persian at his side. He had snuck out of HQ for a bit of a break from the normal hustle n' bustle of Team Rocket Headquarters, thankful no one had seen him sneak out of his office. He knew he would never hear the end of it from Domino if she found out. His blonde cousin just didn't understand the pressure that was laid upon his shoulders each and every day as the Rocket Boss. Besides, he was getting a big headache and figured some fresh air would do him some good.
As he walked into a large clearing, he saw his destination. A beautiful field of flowers adorned the plains and soothed Giovanni's soul. This was his secret place, somewhere he could go to get away from it all. The fragrant scent of the wild roses and lilies hung about like a mist that never cleared. Walking around in the field, he took a deep breath and sighed. This is paradise, after Hyrule, of course. He thought to himself rather sadly. He had heard the news of Princess Zelda's escape almost 7-years-ago, and he thought back to the last 2 days:
"Hyrule Castle HAS been taken over by a figure known as Ganondorf. We have reports from several Hylians about attacks on civilians by numerous monsters. Again, the enemy is unknown to have information leading to Princess Zelda's OR her younger twin sister, Princess Hadassah Esther Til Alexandros, 's disappearance. Several people did report seeing what looked like a human flying across the sky early one evening, but those reports have not been confirmed. It was also mentioned that, whatever-it-was, was traveling in the direction of the City of Viridian, located in Kanto. Viridian Police are searching for clues, but none have been discovered as of yet."
The TV station had also posted pictures of both girls, but Giovanni hadn't been watching then; he had been working on yet another plan for world-domination. "Sheesh...I wonder if I could borrow some of those monsters he's using...no, it's my time off. I'm not going to think of you-know-what. I'm simply not going to..." His voice was cut off by Persian's loud and persistent meowing. "What? What is it?" He asked, looking at Persian strangely. Persian sniffed the air a bit, and then, without warning, started racing off quickly. "Hey, Persian, what's wrong??" Giovanni asked as he pursued the classy cat.
After a couple of minutes, Persian suddenly stopped, almost making its master trip over it. Giovanni stopped short and looked at his pokémon, an inquiring look on his face. "What's up?" Giovanni then observed what Persian had smelled in the air. It was stronger than the flowery smell of the field and was exotic and spicy. Persian walked over to a long object in the flowers and nuzzled against it. Giovanni's eyes opened wide as he realized what it was. A young girl, who couldn't have been more than 24, lay in the grass, her eyes closed. The Boss Rocket knelt beside her and check her pulse in her neck. It was present, as was her breathing, though both were slow and steady. Her royal-purple dress, complete with a black cloak, was torn in several places, including the bottom and stomach area. He used his hand to feel along her backbone, and felt no breaks in it. As he reached under her to pick her up, a charm made itself visible in front of her dress. Giovanni recognized the mark almost immediately: The charm that belonged to only Hyrule's Royal Family members. There was a diamond chip near the top and an opal in the middle, but as far as her status went he was not sure. He took a whiff of the air and nodded. The strong smell was this girl's perfume, which meant she couldn't be Zelda; Princess Zelda, to his knowledge, didn't wear such strong perfume, and, of course, it was common knowledge that Zelda was blonde, so that was ruled out, since this girl had long, raven-black hair about hip-length. He picked her up and looked toward Team Rocket HQ, wondering how to get in without being seen with the girl in his arms...
