i have woken from my slumber to spread the word of Rocket Executive Nanu committing arson.
Rocket Executive Juno, a young Nanu working under Madame Boss before his time at Ipol. He is still just as tired as he is as a cranky old man, and is arguably even crankier back in these days. Hot-headed and spoiling for a fight, he's usually the first of the old guard executives to get his hands dirty.
He hasn't started training meowth yet... so his ace is Sableye!
Rocket Executive Epsilon, Nanu's usual partner and the only person in HQ who can stand his depressing ass. He trains new grunts and coordinates field missions and the establishment of Madame's new properties for Team Rocket. He is also saddled with the most annoying twin gremlins in the world for children (Petrel and Faba, who Nanu occasionally gets stuck babysitting.)
His ace is Lucario!
With their powers combined, they commit felonies, watch spaghetti westerns, and talk shit about Larry (who is also a former Rocket executive, sorry its canon i dont make the rules)

Everyone talks about mewtwo having some trauma but what trauma exactly does he have? Is it abandonement trauma or something?
Great question, Anon! Apologies ahead of time for the essay. :)
First I want to point out that I have zero professional cred to diagnose anyone with any form of trauma. I realize we’re talking about a fictional character here, but I want to make this disclaimer anyway just in case someone takes this as advice about themselves or others. This is for fun, nothing more!
I def think you’re on the right track about abandonment. I think it's possible Mewtwo (in the anime canon) suffers from loss, traumatic grief, neglect, violence and physical abuse. Loss and traumatic grief from losing Amber and finding out he's a clone,* neglect from not being cared for properly when “born," being left for long periods of time in his holding cell and trapped in the armor with Team Rocket, and violence/physical abuse when forced to fight for Giovanni.** It’s important to note that all this happens to Mewtwo when he’s quite young.
A child’s brain is particularly vulnerable to traumatic events. During traumatic experiences, the brain is in a heightened state of stress and fear-related hormones are activated. When a developing mind is in a state of chronic trauma, this stress can change the emotional, behavioral and cognitive functioning of the individual in order to maintain survival. These experiences can have a huge impact on a person’s physical and mental health over time. I think we see a lot of this happening to Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back. Mewtwo might seem like he's in control, but he's in constant survival mode, and I think it affects how his mind develops.
Results from this kind of trauma vary, but those with traumatic stress symptoms often have difficulty regulating their behaviors and emotions, especially when still young. They can be aggressive, impulsive, afraid of new situations, clingy, etc. They may blame themselves for the trauma that happened to them, suffer from depression, have various addictions, struggle with sleeping, show regression in functioning and behavior, etc.
Someone with trauma won’t necessarily show all of these symptoms. I think we see the lack of impulse control and aggression in Mewtwo in MSB quite a bit. The clinginess, depression and fear I think are more evident in Mewtwo Returns.
This is definitely an imperfect description of how trauma may possibly affect Mewtwo’s personality, but hopefully it offers some examples for you, Anon! Thanks for writing in!
Notes and sources under the cut.
Notes
*It’s true that Mewtwo is forced to forget Amber, but I believe that he wakes up still in the throes of grief he'd felt when he went under.
**While Mewtwo fights for Giovanni and Team Rocket willingly and technically is an adult, he’s still mentally very young, and Giovanni takes advantage of that.
