Pokemon: Radical Redux

A car was driving on a road, and inside Dr. Fuji was sitting in the driver's seat, at the moment he still had a full head of hair. Inside the car, a young woman with blue hair was sitting in the passenger's seat, and her eyes had a very distinct purple color to them.

The young woman in question was Fuji's daughter Amber, and they were driving back home from their trip to get back to her daughter and Fuji's granddaughter Reina, who wasn't even a year old yet.

Fuji looked at his daughter through the mirror and smiled, he may be part of Team Rocket but he had always made sure to be there for his daughter, especially after his wife passed away not long ago, she was the main thing keeping him healthy.

"What Dad?" Amber said playfully, noticing her father looking at her.

"No nothing, it's just that I ever told you how much you remind me of your mother, especially your eyes."

"Pfff, come on don't say something that cheesy," Amber said laughing at her father.

"Alright alright, you got me your old man is cheesy," Fuji played along, "We should arrive soon, the nanny should be putting Reina to sleep now."

"Hey, why does it seem like you care about Reina more than I do," Amber pouted.

"Come on, you know it's not like that," Fuji said playfully, "It's just you remind me of how your mother acted when you were born."

"Anyway, as soon as we get there do you want to-" Fuji started talking but was stopped when the sight of headlights appeared by the windows and as they came closer and then only the sounds of an ambulance siren could be heard–

Fuji woke up gasping for air and in a cold sweat, he had been having the same dream for days now and it had started to affect his performance.

From the room next to his the sound of feet on the wooden floor could be heard and opening the door was a young girl with brown hair, his granddaughter Reina.

"Grandfather, is something wrong, I heard you screaming again!" Reina said frantically as she just ran from her room.

Fuji waved it off, "I'm sorry Reina, I just had some night terrors, I shouldn't have woken you up."

Reina didn't seem all that convinced but she couldn't do anything so she just bid Fuji goodnight and left the room.

As soon as Reina left the room, Fuji's smile that he had immediately turned into a frown as he got up and walked to a nearby counter where a picture had fallen over.

He picked it up and looked at it, "I have a bad feeling, like something is coming, every day it gets harder to live without you or Amber...but for the sake of Reina I'll put on a smile, now that you're both gone she's all I have left."

Fuji put the picture down and it was a wedding photo of a young-looking Fuji and a familiar older-looking woman with deep purple eyes that almost seemed unnatural.

{Years ago}

A young-looking Giovanni was sitting on his desk with a radio playing the news, he was quite interested in these things, especially with his newly opened organization Team Rocket that had been gathering rapid growth.

His dream purpose of this Organization was to protect this region from the shadows despite any hate from people, the main problem was that representatives from Johto had started coming to Kanto with the idea of merging, but he hated this idea.

Although he had no power to do anything since despite what you may think, Giovanni is not the Original Boss of Team Rocket, that would be someone only known as Madame Boss, Giovanni's mother.

Unlike him, Madame Boss hated Pokemon and only cared about Money, which is what gave Team Rocket its ugly name, but Giovanni made sure she never crossed the line, after all, he may not be the boss but he is the right-hand man who would eventually inherit Team Rocket.

Giovanni truly loved Kanto, and despite how he acted he also loved Johto, he just believed they should stay separate, but his organization was small, he had every member's absolute loyalty.

And that helped with what he did, for the past year he had been in charge he had dropped Kanto's crime rates by nearly half by controlling any illegal activity and managed to gather intel and destroy the criminal organizations and controlling the black market.

He even helped to bring in the illegal hunting and smuggling Pokémon organizations that were running rampant around Kanto.

Although no one knew it was Team Rocket since he used his ex-best friend Samuel Oak to send them into custody giving him all the credit and actually causing the public to think that they were behind everything, he was fine with that he just cared about stopping it, as long as it wouldn't happen to anyone else.

Just as Giovanni was about to start reminiscing one of the newly instated Admins walked through the door.

She was a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her early 20s at the most with long violet hair that reached her knees and her dark Team Rocket uniform, it was Miyamoto, also known as Jessie's mother.

Giovanni looked confused, he didn't call her as he was about to ask suddenly a screen turned on and on the other was the dark figure of a woman Madame Boss.

"Miyamoto, it's good you joined us", Madame Boss said.

"Yes, I have brought what you requested," Miyamoto said bringing a recorder out.

"What is this? Hey, will this tape make money?" Madame Boss said

"No, no. This is not for sale. This recording was taken in an undiscovered jungle with our splendid Team Rocket high-sensitivity microphones." Miyamoto explained

"Wait. How much are those microphones?" Madame Boss asked

Miyamoto fell down in embarrassment, "Um, they were 50% off in Akiba."

"...Couldn't you have bargained more?" Madame Boss asked.

Miyamoto felt slightly annoyed at the penny-pinching tendencies of the Boss but continued, "We have reason to believe that due to these recordings, the most powerful Pokemon goes there once a Year."

But Madame Boss only thought of one thing, "You could have at least brought it down to 60%"

Miyamoto almost let out a sigh but held it in, "Making a profit is what we're going to be talking about now. I, Miyamoto, have targeted this phantom Pokémon and have waited for years. Even when I had my cute beloved little girl, I didn't leave that place, living alone like a long distance commute."

Madame Boss scoffed, "Children cost so much money, don't they? My little brat boy is horrible!"

"I am still here you know," Giovanni said, looking annoyed that he was being ignored.

"Quiet John, the adults are talking."

"Hehe...well, before my daughter became a prodigal girl, I already gave her away to be a foster child," Miyamoto said, but Giovanni could tell something was wrong.

Madam Boss clapped and smiled, "That's a good development."

Miyamoto nodded, "Yes, well my life is 1: profit; 2: economize; no 3 or 4; and 5: Pokémon!"

To Madam Boss Miyamoto was the ideal image of Team Rocket, and one of Madam Boss's favorites, and she made no deal in hiding it.

As the tape continued behind them and Pokemon sounds could be heard a small cry sounded out that stopped everyone, "M~ew…Mew"

"I-it does exist," Madam Boss said in a rare gasp then she smiled, "Miyamoto I am putting you in charge of this go capture the legendary Mew and bring it back for the sake of Team Rocket."

Anybody with a working prefrontal cortex could tell this was an outrageous order, but Miyamoto just bowed and agreed, making Madam Boss hang up without even saying goodbye.

When she hung up the room went back to normal and Miyamoto was about to turn to leave but Giovanni stopped her, "You know you don't have to do this, I already plan to overthrow her in a few more years, you can just disappear and I can call you back when its time."

Miyamoto turned her head and gave a smile, "Oh is little John worried about me, I'm flattered but I think you should be more worried about your own love life instead of me~"

Giovanni coughed in his hand, "I don't know what you mean,"

"Please I've heard this story all the time, two girls, one boy, Ariana and what was the other one's name, Delta?"

"It's Delia," Giovanni corrected her before releasing his mistake.

Miyamoto gave a cheeky smile, "Ohhh, it seems like someone is in the lead, personally I agree that girl is cuter but Ariana is more mature if you hear what I'm saying."

"I just wonder will the prince choose one, or become an adult and take everything, only time will tell, and unfortunately I won't be here to see it," Miyamoto said as she started walking.

But before she left the room she said something without turning to Giovanni, "By the way, If you do become Boss, please take care of my daughter until I come back." and then she left.

Outside the door as soon as she was out of view she pulled out a picture of baby Jessie and started breaking down crying, despite what she said she loved her daughter but she couldn't take care of her financially nor could she guarantee her safety, she hoped she could gain enough money after this and then retire forever leaving everything behind, how naive she was.

{in undiscovered lands}

Log #1 Day 1

Miyamoto had what looked to be a camera and around her were 3 grunts working, "I've just arrived with a 3 person team of Rocket grunts accompanying me, the time is 2 in the afternoon, we will set up a base."

-

Log #2 Day 5

"It's a new day, sleeping was tough. The winds on this island exceed any natural phenomena previously recorded in Kanto, the expedition group is going to try to make their way through the southern mountains. I'll go with I won't make another for a few days." Miyamoto said around her were strong winds and what looked to be a blizzard approaching.

-

Log #5 Day 15

Miyamoto's face appeared with a storm around her, "Everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong! I've become separated from the other Team Rocket members, the only person accompanying me is the picture of my daughter whom I left behind as a small child and my only partner Marowak."

"But even still, I'm going to wait here in the mountains, I refuse to give up now that I'm so close, I have enough supplies to survive at least a few months now that I am alone, I'll contact you - (Bzzz)" the log was cut.

-

Log #? Day ??

Miyamoto's face was disheveled she looked like she was sick. "The weather may be cold but as long as I have this picture I'll stay here forever."

Miyamoto held a small photo of a baby but the wind blew it out of her hands, "NOOOO!"

Immediately Miyamoto ran out in hopes of getting it and Marowak followed, as it fell on the ground she noticed that the storm stopped confusing Miyamoto as she looked at the sky, and the mountain glowed silver.

Then as she looked to grab her picture there she saw it, Mew holding and looking at the picture.

"Y-you're Mew," Miyamoto said, looking shocked, as did her Marowak.

Mew looked at Miyamoto and approached her to return the Picture to her.

"Aww you're so gentle, Oh, hey look...look at this picture. This is my daughter, and her name is Jessie. Isn't she cute?"

"Mew!" Mew let out a soft cry as she nodded.

"Yeah...oh hey, will you let me capture you? Please? Nursery school, kindergarten...child care costs money. And I want to go see her again."

Just as she said that the storm started up again and Mew started going into the snow.

"Wait! Please don't go away, I want to see my daughter again, I'm not giving up, I won't let you Go!" Miyamoto said as she started running into the snow, her Marowak who was hiding also followed.

As she ran yelling for Mew to stop suddenly her foot slipped on the edge, before she fell Marowak caught her by the shirt and embedded her bone into the mountain for support.

"Marowak!" Miyamoto yelled out, "Please hold on just for a little bit."

But it was already too late with the snow covering the ground and Marowak's weakened state. The bone slipped and they fell into the incoming avalanche, finally ending the log.

–

Giovanni stopped the recording, he had just recently gotten this recorder from an ambiguous sender, and he had no way of knowing when this was created, currently, he had just managed to take control of Team Rocket finally, but that didn't come without losses from People who only wanted Money.

But that was for the better, although he couldn't make Team Rocket Perfect he would do his best to make Kanto just a little bit better, and it all starts with this.

With the recorder came something else, an eyelash in a container saying Mew's.

Although he had no reason to believe it he felt like it was being truthful, although, of course, he wouldn't start immediately, this was the only sample they had and cloning was untested and would take a long time and money, but he had both.

–

{In the mountains}

Miyamoto and Marowak were still traveling, they didn't know where they were but they still walked through the snow.

"I'll never give up, I want to see my little girl, she is probably in grade school by now, I will find you, Mew, and then I'll go and buy my daughter the most beautiful wedding dress in the world!"
