For the most of this chapter, Giovanni's whereabouts were unknown as he had gone missing after Silver returned to his secret hideout.


For the most of the chapter, Giovanni's whereabouts are unknown as he had gone missing with no explanation as to where he was; Silver is seen searching for his missing father throughout the chapter.
During the battle with {{p|Arceus}}, [[Petrel]] attempts to escape from his insane leader, [[Archer]]. When he does, he disguises himself as the Team Rocket leader, only to be attacked by Giovanni's {{p|Ursaring}}. There, the real Giovanni, along with [[Pryce]] and [[Lance]], appear in order to combat the {{p|Dialga|three}} {{p|Palkia|legendary}} {{p|Giratina|Pokémon}} that would threaten the Johto region. While Pryce goes after Dialga and Lance faces Palkia, Giratina battles Giratina with his son's Ursaring.


Along with [[Pryce]] and [[Lance]], Giovanni finally reappears at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] in ''[[PS456|VS Arceus V]]''. He surprised [[Petrel]], who was trying to sneak away from a battle disguised as him, and took him out with Silver's Ursaring. It is revealed that he had been searching for {{p|Celebi}} as a way to cure his illness; during his travels, he encountered Pryce shortly after the latter returned from the stream of time. After initially attacking Pryce out of anger, Lance convinced him to give the man a chance. At the Sinjoh Ruins, Giovanni participates in the stand against the [[creation trio]], battling {{p|Giratina}}.
Pryce reveals that after he returned from the crack in time, he encountered Giovanni at the [[Ilex Forest]], who was looking for {{p|Celebi}} so that he could get a cure for his disease. When Giovanni saw Pryce, he immediately attacked Pryce and would have killed him if it weren't for the intervention of Lance, who told them of the events going on at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Although reluctant, Giovanni agrees to help and has [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]] guard the Ilex Forest while Celebi searches for the herbs for his cure.


At the end of the chapter, with his illness cured, Giovanni decides to return to being the head of Team Rocket. He offers Silver a position within the team, but Silver declines. Giovanni accepts his son's decision and tells him to grow stronger under Lance and Pryce's teaching in the hopes that they will battle someday.
Eventually, his disease gets the better of him, preventing Giovanni from continuing the battle against Giratina. Immediately, Silver steps in and attacks Giratina to defend his ailing father. After Arceus is calmed down and the three Pokémon leave, Ken, Al, Harry, and Celebi arrive with the cure to Giovanni's disease. The cure works, and Giovanni becomes completely healthy again. Now cured, Giovanni decides to lead Team Rocket once more, as he still has some evil in his heart.
 
He offers Silver a position in Team Rocket, but Silver declines and promises to change his father's evil ways one day. Giovanni accepts his son's decision and tells him to grow stronger under Lance and Pryce's teaching in the hopes that they will battle someday.
