One of the Commanders of the criminal organisation Team Galactic, Saturn met with Jessie, James and Meowth on the cliffs overlooking Eterna City, commissioning them to perform a heist for them.Due to his rank within the organisation, he was assigned two grunts to act as his body guards, ensuring that nothing happened to him as they completed their assignments.
"Journey to the Unknown"
Following Cyrus instructions to go to the Solaceon Town Ruins and retrieve a rare artefact, Saturn took two grunts to the target, arriving at the location one afternoon.
Unbeknownst to them as they entered the ruins, they had snatched the attention of Jessie, James and Meowth - who recognised that he was the one who hired them to steal the Adamant Orb from Eterna City Historical Museum. However he quickly realised they were being followed, scoffing at Team Rocket's attempts.
Seeing how dark it was in the narrow passages of the ruins, Saturn summoned his Bronzor, ordering the Bronze Pokemon to use their Flash and light their path. Reaching the depths of the Ruins, he barked for his underlings to add the Splash, Iron and Draco Plates into the grooves on the floor, completing the ritual to awaken the Unknowns fused on the wall of the room.
Finally acknowledging the Team Rocket Operative Agents, he mused that it had been a long time since he had seen them. He watched as a box emerges from a bright light, demanding to know how much the criminals knew about the cube. Satisfied that they had no clue what it was, he arrogantly replied that this "treasure" (as they had described it) would alter the course of space time forever. Declaring that the cube would allow them to achieve their goals, Saturn grabbed the floating object, causing the Unknown to attack in a fury.
Calmly countering with Bronzor's confuse ray, Saturn took control of the Symbol Pokemon, escaping in the confusion. As a parting gift, he turned the Unknown on them, leaving them to the mercy of their Hidden Powers.
Making it outside, Saturn remarked that they were close to learning the location of the legendary Spear Pillar, before boarding the Galactic Helicopter as it landed near by.
"Enter Galactic"
Arriving back to the Veilstone City Headquarters with his prize, Saturn was welcomed by two grunts on the roof. Refusing to hand over the carry case with the cube, he coldly told them that he was going to give it to their leader in person.
Planning their next move closely with Cyrus, he addressed all the grunts present in the auditorium, revealing them the next part of the stratagem - to steal the Veilstone City Meteorites and use the energy to reveal the location of, as well as the next phase of Team Galactics operation in the Sinoh Region. He added that they should shut down the facility and activate the self destruct protocols after the success of the mission, ensuring their presence in the city would not be detected.
Returning to the helipad, Saturn triggered the cube, creating a link between it and the Meteorites. He is surprised by the reaction, but shrugs of his doubt, reassuring himself that it was going to happen because Cyrus had said it would. Holding the cube higher into the air, he watches in awe as the cube unlocks itself and reveals it's true form as the Spear Key. Realising that they were made of the exact same material, he quickly composes his joy and orders for all the signals in the area to be jammed, storing the key into a briefcase for transportation.
Setting out towards the park with a team of helicopters, he gave the command to activate the jamming signal, making their way undetected across the night sky. Reaching the park, he oversees the grunts scramble to plant detonators within the rocks, before instructing them to collect the meteroties and take them with them via helicopter.
Spotting Team Rocket arguing in the bushes, he called them "losers" and expressed his displeasure at seeing them again. Growing bored of their self indulgent introductions, he called out his Toxicroak to personally deal with them, dictating that they use sludge bomb on the distracted team.
However this delay in his plans left him no time to escape, being confronted by Ash and his friends. Saturn ignored the young trainers demand for information on who they were and what they wanted, calling on Toxicroak to use dark pulse. He snapped that they didn't care about Veilstone City and were only there to see the meteorites take on "their true form" that will allow them to create their new world. He is angered by the arrival of Officer Jenny (Veilstone), but coily tells her that they or may not be the ones responsible. Unphased by being unmasked and identified as a member of Team Galactic, he pronounces that he would be wasting his time by revealing their motivations, sending in Toxicroak in for another dark pulse.
Ignoring her ultimatum of surrendering, Saturn ordered his goons to "clear the way", taking pleasure in watching the trainers get attacked by numerous Golbat. However he berated his Toxicroak for not destroying Croagunk, engaging in battle with Brock. But he turns his attention to Reggie and Electabuzz, attempting
to slow them down with another sludge bomb. Seeing no alternative, Saturn called for a full retreat, calling back Toxicroak and making their escape.
Brooding over the setback to their operation, he told his pilot that they may have taken enough of the meteorites that they could successfully form the Red Chain. He added that it was time to move on with their plan and head to Lake Valour. Radioing the base, Saturn ordered them to begin the evacuation since their business in the town had been concluded.
"Loosing it's Lustrous"Whilst the Eterna City Police Department transported the Adamant Orb to Celestic Town's Historical Research Centre via plane, Saturn lead an ambush to attack the plane in the middle of the air, watching from his helicopter as Toxicroak intimidated Officer Jenny and her crew. He voiced his cocky excitement that his part in the plan was a success, claiming to be in possession. They took the item for themself, leaving the plane to make an emergency landing.
Making camp on the roof of a neighbouring building overlooking the Research Centre, Saturn is warned of the arrival of Ash and his friends, forcing Saturn to radio in G-2 about a possible incursion. He recommended that she continued with the plan, just as long as she used a backup plan in the case of an emergency. Alerted to Cyrus' arrival to personally help with the plan, Saturn confirmed that he had heard Mars' update about her squads' initiation of phase two, asking her to hold positions.
Being airdropped in along with several other grunts on the roof of the Research Building, Saturn took advantage of a flash bang and appeared in front of several bewildered cops, using his Bronzor to put all of the security to sleep with hypnosis. He was ready to intercept Ash and the others as they transferred the Lustrous Orb, demanding they hand over the treasure - making subtle eye contact and signals to Cyrus. He boasts that Toxicroak is following his orders perfectly and is systematically wiping out the security within the centre.
Enraged by their defiance, he directed Bronzor to use another hypnosis only to be beaten by Cynthia's Garchomp. He returned the Bronze Pokemon, praising her abilities as a trainer and champion. He became confident by the arrival of Mars and her team of grunts.
Watching his Toxicroak jump into the room from the skylight and stab Croagunk in the chest with a Poison Jab, he expressed his sorrow that it had become far more violent than they had planned before hand. Asking again for the orb, Cynthia refuses to ive it them, summoning another Pokemon to her aid.
"Double Team Turnover"
Noting the incompetence of his grunts, Saturn gave Toxicroak the command to attack Cynthia and her Garchomp and Gastradon with Dark Pulse. However the barrage is halted by Chimchar and their flamethrower. About to lose his prize Pokemon to Pikachu and their volt tackle, he prepared to counter only for Chimchar to take a poison jab for the mouse Pokemon.
Growing agitated by Team Rocket's presence, he looked to Cyrus for advice, standing aside to let the three bandits leave, telling them that it would be better if they went. Clicking his fingers, he and the other members of Team Galactic vanished in a swarm of Golbat.Assembling at a secret Facility with Mars and Jupiter, Saturn watches as Jupiter places the Lustrous Orb in a machine. Greeting their boss, he apologises for the plans going awry, becoming deeply rejected by Cyrus' cutting appraisal of him. He is shocked by the news that Mesprit and Azelf have been sighted at Lakes Verity and Valour, watching as Cyrus declares that very soon their new world will become a reality.
