This may not have any romantic actions take place, but I thought it'd be really interesting to maybe write a fun foreshadowing moment about Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon.

Giovanni's eyes scanned the other bosses, his fingers prying open the monthly bills that were mailed again.

Archie slightly squirmed in his seat, his foot tapping against the ground at a fast pace. It was taking extreme patience to not walk out of the room right now, and sitting at the round table with the other bosses weren't helping either.

Cyrus sat like a statue, an emotionless blank stare with a defined jaw tightened. Arms crossed across his chest, seemingly giving off a cold vibe.

Maxie tsked, resting his head against his hand and rolled his eyes. Every month, they always went over bills and to be blunt honest, it was a waste of time, especially his time.

Ghetsis remained silent, his back resting against the chair with boredom. Nothing special going on.

Giovanni's eyebrows scrunched as the tapping sound got louder, the repetitiveness irritatingly his ears.

"Electricity, that's fucking normal," Giovanni grumbled, scamming through the bills. He eyeballed the group after an impatient sigh came up, narrowing his stare.

As he picked up the water bill, the tapping only got louder, almost to the point of-

"Will you shut up?!" Giovanni snarled towards Archie, slamming his palm against the table.

The squirming boss jumped in his seat, cutting off all of his tapping noises to a complete silence. He bit the inside of his cheek as Giovanni ripped open the bill.

He held his breath as Giovanni's eyes snapped wide open, staring at a tiny spot on the piece of paper in his hands.

Giovanni's fingers tightened, crumpling the sides of the paper as a fire grew within him, his gaze practically ripping apart everything if it were possible.

"Why is the water bill so fucking high?!?" He roared, grabbing his cup and smashing it onto the floor.

Cyrus raised a brow, shaking his head and scoffed. "I don't know."

Giovanni scanned everyone, his eyes finally laying on the man who was now shaking in his seat.

"I mean, you know, uh-" Archie began, his voice quivering until a chair was kicked down by the Team Rocket boss.

"Did you try to flood the world with the GARDEN HOSE again?!?" Giovanni angrily lashed out, his facial lines accentuated by every muscle in his body tended up.

All the bosses stared at Archie, already knowing the answer.

Archie's eyes widened, letting his limp body slip out of his chair and onto the ground, only peeking above the table to see.

At this point, he was going to become like a magikarp flopping around.

Maxie had already facepalmed, and proceeded to let his head thunk against the table while Ghetsis pinched the bridge of his nose.

"What a complete dumbass," Cyrus muttered, shaking his head. He thought that after himself and the other bosses combining their teams to be the ultimate powerhouse, they'd actually do something useful.

And here they were, screeching about a monthly bill because some idiot wasted the water.

Giovanni was busy yelling his lungs out at the younger man, his fist soon enough to punch a hole through the surface. With each blow, the cups and Maxie's head rattled harshly.

Cyrus's eyes glanced at the papers, taking a turn to see something that perked his interests.

He grabbed the specific one, reading the word "recruitment" on the top. There was a check mark next to his name along with the others, including Faba, Lysande, a question mark next to Lusamine's—

And one giant red mark was circled around one specific boss, and probably one of the most cringey of all to exist.

But then, he may have been cringey, but he had seen a new world, maybe the new world he wanted to see.

Maybe Giratina would've been able to break another barrier to the Ultra wormholes.

Cyrus's fingers gripped the paper, remembering all the news headlines and stories he was told of the very-well-known former Team Boss in Alola.

Guzma, the former Team Skull boss.

Why'd Giovanni have him circled? Ever since the wormholes were closed and these "ultra beasts" were tamed, he hasn't heard a thing about what happened to the young and gruff leader.

A wicked grin slowly spread across his lips as an idea popped into his head, imagining a nasty plot that he could almost envision so clearly.

'Maybe if we could find the damn guy, he could help me create this new world I've been seeking.'
