Name:
Giovanni
Nicknames:
Giovanni of the Land
Age:
Mid-40s
Gender:
Male
World:
Pokéarth
Residence:
Viridian City (former)
Occupation:
Leader of Team Rocket, former Gym Leader
Partner:
Persian
Team/Forms:
Persian, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Golem, Aggron, Machamp
Weaknesses:
As noted by his son when he abandoned him, Giovanni has cowardly tendencies when he's on his own, and makes up for it by being unnecessarily cruel to anyone below him.
Personality:
The epitome of egocentric cruelty, Giovanni has no love for anyone but himself and his ambitions, which means that he'll use anyone and anything to ensure the completition of his goals. However, unlike many villains, he at least knows when to admit defeat, though one defeat is not enough to keep him down. It has been speculated whether or not he genuinely cares for his son, but neither of them have ever mentioned something like that.
Likes:
Strong Pokémon, accomplishing his goals, loyal minions
Dislikes:
Disobedient minions, plot wreckers
Appearance:
(Three years ago)
(Current appearance (until I can get an actual illustration XD))
History:
Giovanni's past is shrouded in mystery, but bits have been revealed through sheer luck on some parts. What is known is that he is the founder and leader of the criminal organization Team Rocket, intending to use that organization to conquer the world, by use of Pokémon.
Three years ago, however, things began falling apart, thanks to one youth, named Red. Somehow, that one child managed to disrupt any and all operations Team Rocket underwent, including their raid on Mt. Moon, and their takeover of the Silph Co. building.
Giovanni faced off against Red twice, failing to beat the kid each time. For a while, he seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, but when Red returned to Viridian to obtain the last badge, he found out something truly shocking; the Viridian leader was none other than Giovanni! Despite this shock, Red prevailed over Giovanni once again, and the leader vowed to disband Team Rocket, and train to become stronger, before he vanished without a trace.
However, this was only half-true. He did leave to train, which meant abandoning his son, Silver, but he didn't fully disband Team Rocket, leaving four Executives, Archer, Ariana, Petrel and Proton, in charge of the crime syndicate in his absence. Three years later, the moment he had been waiting for got closer; the moment he would reunite with his subordinates and claim his position as leader once more.
However, in a surprising turn of events, when Giovanni got the signal from Archer during the Goldenrod Radio Tower takeover, he noticed two children looking right at him, one of them reminding him sorely of Red. Intending to get the kids out of his way so he could reunite with Team Rocket, he managed to lose once again, which threw him off enough to forget all about Goldenrod, leaving him to vanish once more. His current whereabouts are unknown.
