May 1st, 2007

There was a tentative silence at the Viridian City Gym, and in an office space above it, a man wearing an orange suit and his Persian sat down next to him was typing away on his computer.

Giovanni Sakaki could appreciate the irony. Once he had been known as the Viridian City Gym Leader, a master of Ground-types that left challengers quaking in his boots. Now it was an abandoned underground space for him to conduct his business.

His criminal business so to speak.

The boss of Team Rocket soon was typing away when suddenly in the background he heard a faint noise. Most other men would have probably ignored it but Giovanni wasn't most men. He knew that no challengers ever came to the gym given that it was officially closed down by the Indigo Plateau ten years ago.

In summation, whoever was here wasn't a friendly face.

Giovanni soon got up from his chair as Persian followed him when suddenly the doors opened. It was a woman with long, dark purple hair that was tied in a long ponytail with piercing green eyes, she was wearing a sleek, black and purple outfit that was adorned with a serpent motifs and hanging from her neck was a pendant shaped like a serpent's fang.

She was a stunning woman, one that Giovanni was briefly distracted by until he regained his focus.

"I don't know who you think you are, but you have made a big mistake barging in like this." Giovanni said to her.

The woman simply smiled as behind her, three of her grunts: a fairly average boy that was in his early twenties and a pair of twins that looked fairly similar to the woman who barged in here.

"Who I am? My name is Sienna Raventide. And tonight your reign ends." The woman simply said as it was the easiest thing in the world.

Giovanni scoffed. It wasn't the first time that some amateur trainers had challenged him before, and like before he will crush her the same.

"You must be delusional if you think you can take me down. Persian, take care of her!"

Persian lept forward, hissing and ready to strike. Only for Sienna to calmly raise her hand.

"Gengar… Shadow Ball!"

Soon, her Gengar materialized from the shadows and launched a powerful Shadow Ball at Persian, which sent it unconscious into the wall.

Giovanni was stunned but regained his composure and sent out two more of his Pokemon: Rhyperior and Nidoking.

"Impressive. But you'll need more than that to defeat me!"

But Sienna remained calm and soon sent out her Mismaigus.

"Mismaigus, it's your turn. Use Dark Pulse!"

Her Mismaigus soon appeared, unleashing a wave of dark energy that engulfed both of Giovanni's Pokemon. The room soon trembles as the Pokemon are overwhelmed by the attack, and they collapse to the ground.

Giovanni soon stumbled back, stunned.

"How… how is this possible?"

Sienna soon chuckled evilly as she looked at him.

"Because, you have refuse to get with the times old man. You underestimated the power of the dark for too long and now it will be your downfall."

Giovanni soon tried to reach for another Pokeball but Sienna was quicker. She steps forward and grabs his wrist, with her eyes glowing with a sinister light.

"Gengar, Hypnosis"

Gengar's eyes glowed, and Giovanni's movements came to a slow as he fell under the spell. His body goes limp and he collapses to his knees.

"No… this can't be…"

Sienna soon chuckled and she leaned in close to him.

"You had a good run old man, and I have much respect for what you built… but now your time is over Giovanni. Don't worry the Black Vipers will soon rise from your ashes."

Sienna releases his wrist and steps back. With a swift motion, she raises her hand, and Gengar soon conjures a dark swirling sphere.

"Gengar, finish him. Shadow Force."

Gengar vanished into the shadows, reappearing behind Giovanni with a spectral energy. The attack strikes Giovanni with lethal precision, as he fell to the ground… dead.

The room was soon silent as Sienna soon turned to the three lieutenants behind her.

"Alright, Landon and Liora, you two find Elara and dispose of the body with her. Cooper you are with me."

The two of them nodded and soon took Giovanni's body with them leaving only Cooper and Sienna alone. Sienna soon looked around the room.

"Look at this Cooper, it all belongs to me. Isn't wonderful?"

Cooper soon snorted.

"I guess, but did you really need to kill him? You could have just put him under with Gengar's Hypnosis."

Sienna soon sighed and soon looked at Cooper as if she had explained this to him multiple times.

"We have been over this Cooper, I need the resources of Team Rocket. In order to get those resources, I need to be the boss and in order to be the boss, I need to have Giovanni out of the way. You understand?"

Cooper sighed, he was considered the moral backbone of their little group but there was only so much that he could do.

"Well you accomplish what you set out to do today, Giovanni is dead. Now what?"

Sienna soon looked amused as she turned her face into a mockery of a smile before looking outside and smiling. Soon it had began to rain as if to signify the dark days ahead for this world.

"Now? Now the real work begins, we will teach everyone here what it is like to be without power, to be without friends or love, without respect or dignity or even comfort. We are going to teach this world the true meaning of fear and darkness."

Cooper soon sighed as Landon and Liora soon arrived with Elara and the four of them soon kneeled in front of her having put their faith in her, for better or worse.

Sienna soon laughed evilly and lightning crackled outside notifying the beginning of her plans…

Her dark, twisted and evil plans…
