That Badge…It’s from Sunyshore’s Gym? You’ve been to that port town, then…Would…Would you lend an ear to this old man’s tale?
No…I shouldn’t burden you with this. My grandson grew up in that city by the sea. Worn down by trying to live up to his parents’ expectations, he found refuge in tinkering with machines. I wonder even now if I should have taken him in and raised him myself. Though I’m not certain if that would have been a good choice or not…I don’t think anyone could say.
I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said any of this to you…
So! I must say, I am impressed you got here. Team Rocket captures Pokémon from around the world. They’re important tools for keeping our criminal enterprise going. I am the leader, Giovanni! For your insolence, you will feel a world of pain!

Sigh… So impressionable and impetuous. What do they see in Cyrus? Immature, overthinking buffoon. He goes through the trouble of assembling Team Galactic for what? Ultimately, he destroys his own creation for his ludicrous vision. It’s no thanks to him that I have to struggle with the pieces.
…But that’s fine. The young can live with their dreams. I prefer to remain firmly in reality. And for that, money is paramount. You there, child. I’m not dealing with you. After all, the other Galactic members who did all suffered consequences. We’ll be off to collect the Magma Stone. It’s all for the money!
SHELLY A pleasure to see you again, Field Commander Tabitha. Hi.
TABITHA Heh. Well, of course, Commander Shelly. Always showing up fashionably late to the party.
SHELLY Actually, it looks to me like I’m just in time, since this nice man here is about to give me that meteorite.
TABITHA The altitude must be affecting your brain.
SHELLY Well, if it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you’ll get, Tabitha.
That’s just not right! ‘Zero’ is a gross exaggeration. We are AT LEAST two to three percent worthwhile!

Happy Sat(urn)day, Tumblr!
Fellow members of Team Galactic! Hear me! My name, as I appear to you today, is Cyrus. This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim…It is ugly. I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being. The world should be complete. The world must change. Then, who will change it? Me, Cyrus. And Team Galactic. Yes, all of you. Together we pored over myths and exposed their secrets. Together we captured legendary Pokémon. And now, Team Galactic has obtained the energy to change the world! The power of dreams is within our grasp! Understand it, fellow members! My long-held dreamworld is on the verge of becoming reality. All those headed to Mt. Coronet, and those who remain here…Though our missions may differ, our hearts beat as one. Let there be glory for Team Galactic!
