Giovanni




Bio
Giovanni is the leader and boss of Team Rocket.
Operation Tempest
Giovanni arrived in East Isshu to kick off the final stage of Operation Tempest. The mission was to use Meloetta to unlock the Reveal Glass in a temple that disappeared in the sea which was never again to be found. The Rocket Gang was able to find that temple, capture Meloetta and unlock the Reveal Glass and attempted to conquer the entire Isshu region. The Reveal Glass was operated by Giovanni who used it to summon Landlos, Tornelos and Voltolos. He was not able to control them for long as Ash and his friends intervened and stopped him from controlling the trio. The mirror somehow affected Giovanni but Jessie, James and Meowth got Giovanni away from the main centerpiece on the floor which stopped the control over Giovanni as he was attempting to destroy the Isshu region, not conquer it. After his ambitions were prevented., he then decided to return to the Rocket Gang headquarters in the Kanto region.Pokemon (7)

After Escaping from the clone laboratory on Cinnebar Island, Mewtwo met Giovanni where they entered into an agreement where Giovanni would focus Mewtwo's powers and Mewtwo would help Giovanni's goals.
Giovanni provided Mewtwo with a suit which would help Mewtwo focus his powers and it was given the chance to show his power when battling for Giovanni at his Pokémon Gym in Viridian City.
Mewtwo destroyed Team Rocket's HQ and shed the robotic suit after it discovered that Giovanni was using him for his powers

Persian is Giovanni's pet and it rarely does anything else except sit beside Giovanni and wait for it to be pet by him. Meowth has always been jealous of Persian because he used to be a favorite of Giovanni but Persian took his place. Persian and Meowth are rivals and Meowth hopes to one day return to good graces with Giovanni to become his trusted pet and kick Persian out.
