Chapter 1: The New Member of Team Rocket

*In Kanto*

Giovanni grinned as Serena was getting beaten on the floor of a Team Rocket cell. Her hair was dirty and her body had visible bruises. "You...coward." Serena muttered and Giovanni smirked.

"Is that what I am?" He asked. Serena struggled to stand up as she kept getting hit with attacks from multiple people. One of the female grunts held a sleeping Bonnie. The grunt ran a hand through her hair and Serena stood up completely.

"Don't touch her!" She shouted. The grunt smirked as she almost shook Bonnie awake. Bonnie stirred, but she didn't wake up. I can't let Bonnie see me like this. Serena thought, horrified.

"Just give in, Serena. Just do that and you can have the child back." Giovanni tells Serena. Serena stopped at his words. She thought about what he said.

"Are you telling the truth?" Serena asked. Giovanni smiled coldly.

"Yes, I am. But, if you betray me, the girl will get it." He threatened. Serena broke.

"Fine! I'll join Team Rocket. Just let me have Bonnie!" She shouted. Giovanni nodded and he ushered the female grunt to give Bonnie to Serena. Giovanni started to walk out of the cell. But, he stopped.

"You will start training tomorrow, maggot." Giovanni tells Serena. Serena nodded and he left the two alone. Bonnie stirred and she woke up.

"Why did you do that?" She asked. Serena frowned and she hugged Bonnie.

"To protect you. He threatened to hurt you." Serena tells Bonnie. Bonnie teared up.

"I'm sorry." Bonnie sobbed. Serena hugged Bonnie tighter.

"No, it's not your fault. It's Team Rocket's fault." Serena tells Bonnie. She was angry, but she didn't let Bonnie feel the brunt of it. They fell asleep with Serena holding Bonnie closely. The next morning, Giovanni kicked Serena awake. Serena winced, but she didn't snap. She looked up at Giovanni.

"Get up, girl." He ordered coldly. Serena growled and she looked around for Bonnie. She didn't see her anywhere in the cell. She panicked.

"Bonnie!" She screamed out. Giovanni smirked at Serena's deeply rising concern. Serena glared at Giovanni and he chuckled.

"The kid's safe." He assured Serena, but she didn't believe it. "Get up or I'll torture the child myself." Serena gasped and she quickly stood up. He threw Serena an female Team Rocket uniform. "Put that on and I'll give you your first mission." Giovanni ordered. Serena obeyed the man and she felt disgusted with the uniform. I hate this! But, it's for Bonnie's sake. Serena thought. Giovanni smiled at Serena.

"What is the job, b-boss?" Serena hissed the words out. Giovanni smirked.

"I'll let you use that tone whenever. The job is stealing pokemon from the forests. Can you handle that?" He asked.

"Yes." Serena hissed. Giovanni smirked.

"Then go." He ordered. Serena nodded and she left the base. A few hours later, Serena came back with nets filled with pokemon. Giovanni smirked.

"Here are the pokemon I caught." Serena tells Giovanni hatefully. He looked at the pokemon and his smirk remained.

"Nice work. You're dismissed for the day until nighttime." Giovanni tells Serena. Serena nodded her head and she left Giovanni's office without another word.

Nighttime came quicker than expected for Serena. She walked into Giovanni's office and he greeted her with Bonnie in his arms. Serena growled and Bonnie struggled in the man's hold. "Let her go." Serena growled out.

"You can keep her. Since, you obeyed my order easily, she can stay with you." Giovanni says, putting Bonnie on the ground. Bonnie ran to Serena and she hugged her leg.

"Don't give to him." Bonnie tells Serena. Serena rubbed Bonnie's hair.

"I won't, I promise." Serena tells Bonnie.
