In an alternate Pokémon universe where Giovanni has not one, but two children, his son Silver and his daughter Giuliana. Defeated by Red, Giovanni left his team to fend for themselves years ago, much to their dismay and much to the disappointment of his daughter who believed strongly in Team Rocket's ideals and beliefs. The Team Rocket revival attempt in Johto proved increasingly disappointing for her, as she watched the criminal organization fall hard without strong leadership. Upset with her father's defeat and cowardice, and enraged by Team Rocket's failed attempt to return on their own, Giuliana decided she would create the new team herself and nothing would stand in the way of her conquest.

"Miss, why did you want to go to Cinnabar Island so badly?" one of the rocket grunts tapped Giuliana's shoulder slightly as the group walked ahead. She turned on her heels and stopped abruptly to scan the group' she had brought four of them with her on a spontaneous trip to the island without her father's approval.

"I have information that can only be retrieved here. And I need help with finding it, which is where you all come in." Giuliana adjusted her sun hat and turned around in her flowing white dress She looked like a joyfully innocent young girl, but the grunts knew better. Her happy nature concerned them; it made it harder to predict when she would snap at them next.

They looked at each other and nodded, unsure what she had planned but understood they had no choice to comply, Giuliana waving her hand towards them as she started to walk again. They followed dutifully, but made sure to keep up their tourist act, taking out their cameras, snapping random shots of buildings and people. Their obnoxiously colored floral shirts ruffled slightly in the hot air, complete with khaki shorts and the plainest of flip flops and sandals. Occasionally they'd be stopped by local businesses and locals trying to sell their products, but Giuliana turned them all down with a warm smile; this was unheard of by the grunts yet they said nothing for fear of retaliation. To see her smile at all outside of her usually chilling grin was rare, unless she was playing with her Pokémon.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want to take in some of the sights before we-" one of the grunts spoke up from the back of the group, sheepishly walking behind the other members as they kept going. Giuliana turned her head to the side slightly and put a single finger to her lips, silencing any further questions as the grunt made sure to keep a safe distance from her.

"We'll be where we need to be soon." Giuliana crossed her hands behinds her back, a note could be seen in her right palm. It read 'Cinnabar Island Research Facility' in large bold letters. The grunts looked at each other in confusion but kept silent as she folded up the note and stuck it in her purse.

It took about five minutes for them to keep up the tourist act until they reached the stark white building towering ahead. They paused at the entrance and Giuliana adjusted her sundress. She turned to look at the grunts with a chilling smile one more time, before going through the automatic doors. The grunts followed quickly after her, knowing all too well that the longer they took to comply with her orders, the crueler she would be to them later.

"Welcome to the Cinnabar Island Research Institute! How may we-" the receptionist at the counter welcomed the group with a smile, until she realized it was Giuliana standing in front of her. The woman stopped mid-sentence to compose herself and offer her a nod, directing her and the rest of the group to follow as she stepped out from behind the counter.

The group was led into another room full of researchers typing quickly on their keyboards, streams of indescribable data racing across their bright screens. The grunts muttered among themselves, all unsure of what they were looking at while Giuliana confidently walked ahead, seemingly unfazed by the hustle and bustle in the room.

"I can't be here for long, I have more important things I need to get done as soon as possible." Giuliana spoke in a low, clear voice to the receptionist who stopped in front of a sealed off door. The woman nodded in earnest, quickly taking out her ID key to undo the heavy lock. She stepped to the side allowing Giuliana and the grunts to move ahead, but she did not follow.

"Please take your time Miss, and just call the desk if you need any assistance." The receptionist bowed slightly and walked away quickly, heels clacking in the distance.
