RATING : PG

DISCLAIMER : Team Rocket and Pokemon belong to their respective owners and not me !

Sakaki scowled as he climbed up the icy mountain with Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyasu. Then again, it was his decision to follow them so that he could find out why they continued to fail him so often. He refused to shiver or show any signs of weakness in front of them. As their boss, he was supposed to be strong at all times.

The Rocket Gang found themselves on a ledge.

'' Maybe there are some pokemon in this cave '' Nyasu stated.

Sakaki just scowled as he followed the trio into the cavern. He growled as the cold air penetrated his fur outfit. His angry eyes were wide when he saw a sheet of snow fall and block the entrance to the cave ! He turned and scowled at the trio.

'' Oh no ! We' re trapped ! We' ll all starve or freeze to death ! '' Kojiro exclaimed.

'' The three of you are useless ! I should fire you ! '' Sakaki growled.

'' No ! Don't fire us ! We' ll get out of here eventually ! '' Kojiro pleaded.

Sakaki just frowned as he went and sat in a corner of the cave with his back to Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyasu. He removed a photo from his fur coat.

It was of a purple haired woman wearing a black Rocket Gang uniform !

Sakaki whispered '' Miyamoto '' as his tears fell on the picture. He remembered her baby sitting him when he was a child. That was when she wasn't out capturing pokemon for his mother who was the Rocket Gang boss before him.

Miyamoto was very different from his mother. She always smiled and never showed a hint of cruelty towards him. He loved her and still remembered her.

Sakaki wondered if she was still alive. His mother had told him what might have happened to Miyamoto since she never returned. He gasped as he came to a realization.

The Rocket Gang boss turned his head when he heard someone approach him. He was too slow to wipe away his tears when he saw Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyasu. He watched them gasp.

'' If you idiots tell anyone about this.... ''

'' Boss, we have never seen you cry before ! '' Nyasu stated.

Musashi saw the photo and gasped.

'' My mother ! How ?! Why ?! ''

'' I loved her. The reason that I scream at you so often is because I think that you may end up like her. Dead perhaps. Also, your mother was a lot more kind than my own beautiful parent. Yes, Mother was beautiful yet the way she treated me was ugly. ''

Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyasu were speechless. Musashi was shocked when Sakaki kissed her !

'' Since your mother isn't here.... ''

Musashi blushed. She looked towards the entrance of the cave.

'' Maybe we should tunnel our way out of the snow '' Kojiro whispered.

He, Musashi, Nyasu, and Sakaki nodded before they used their hands to dig their way out of the snow.

'' By the way, I decided not to fire the lot of you. You have your mother to thank for that, Musashi. ''

The Rocket Gang were about to climb down the mountain until Kojiro sneezed which caused a avalanche to '' chase '' them !
