Chapter 13
"A Discovery"
Back at Team Rocket Headquarters, Rosella's sudden disappearance didn't go unnoticed for long. When Giovanni got wind that Rosella had escaped, he became very angry.
As he sat at his desk, he pondered, "How on earth did Rosella escape from us?"
Then after much thought he realized that Lance of the Elite Four had been with her when she had been captured and that he had employed the help of his Elite friends to come up with a plan to rescue her. Next Giovanni decided to read the newspaper to try and calm his nerves. So he was reading the newspaper and was almost totally relaxed until he ran across an article about Rosella.
He thought, "What the heck is this?"
So to answer his own question, he read the article and he found out that Rosella had been an orphan for many years.
He thought, "So what."
But he kept reading, and he found out that Rosella had been adopted by Lance and Lorelei of the Elite Four.
The news of Rosella's adoption once again made him very angry. Since he knew that he couldn't even try to capture her again unless he wanted the whole terror of the Elite Four unleashed upon him and the whole of Team Rocket. With much frustration and anger he scratched Rosella's name off a list of kid's names that he wanted captured. Most of the kids evaded capture, while others had been captured. Once they were in Team Rocket custody, they refused to join Team Rocket and were killed.
Giovanni thought to himself, "Was killing those children really necessary, since they were so young and so innocent?"
Still pondering that thought, Giovanni busied himself with a large stack of paperwork that he had neglected ever since Rosella had been their prisoner.
"Oh, boy this is going to take a while." He thought as he dove into the stack of papers hoping to finish them before the day was done.
