Giovanni (Adventures): Difference between revisions

When he was still the {{gy|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]], Giovanni had obtained the nickname "Giovanni Of The Land" because all his Pokémon were {{t|Ground}} types, save his Cloyster and {{p|Beedrill}}. Beedrill's exception is clear, as it was {{pkmn2|caught}} at [[Viridian Forest|Giovanni's birthplace]], so Giovanni is especially proud of it, but Cloyster's is hard to trace, as it does not appear to have any connection to Giovanni's past. Since leaving the post, he has also used a {{p|Crobat}}, an {{p|Aggron}}, the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{adv|Deoxys}}, and {{adv|Silver|his son's}} {{p|Ursaring}}.

Giovanni later appears at the summit of [[Cerise Island]] when {{adv|Yellow}} is battling the leader of the [[Elite Four]], [[Lance]]. It is revealed that he was the one who had freed Red from his icy prison created by [[Lorelei]] and gave him the [[evolutionary stone]]s of the Vermilion Bay that would allow him to evolve his [[Vee|Eevee]] multiple times. Giovanni does battle with Lance and uses his Pokémon to destroy the giant bubble that he was using to attack Yellow and protect himself from attacks. Just as it seems that Giovanni has the upper hand, Lance reveals that he had planned for this and that Giovanni had fallen into his trap. Lance reveals that Cerise Island is one giant Gym Badge amplification device and with Giovanni's Earth Badge, he can finally summon {{p|Lugia|the giant bird Pokémon}}. Seeing what Lance has summoned, Giovanni immediately takes off and leaves Yellow to fight him alone. He is seen witnessing Lance's defeat at the hands of Yellow. His subordinates, Sabrina and Lt. Surge, meet up with him in hopes of starting up Team Rocket again. Giovanni dismisses them, realizing that they are not ready to revive Team Rocket because they required the help of children when battling the Elite Four. He tells them to lay low and go to their Gyms until a more suitable time to revive Team Rocket comes.

Giovanni eventually lands near the Viridian City Gym and sends [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] to find and retrieve his son. As he recuperates from the pain of his disease, Giovanni finds that Red and Mewtwo are flying towards him; he decides to get Red back for his previous defeat at the Viridian Gym and prepares for battle. Red eventually arrives on the Team Rocket airship and Giovanni issues a challenge; one-on-one, Mewtwo versus Deoxys; Red accepts and they begin battling each other.

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 an {{p|Ursaring}}. There, the real Giovanni, along with [[Pryce]] and [[Lance]], appear in order to combat {{adv|Dialga}}, {{adv|Palkia}}, and {{adv|Giratina}}, a trio that would threaten the Johto region. While Pryce goes after Dialga and Lance faces Palkia, Giovanni battles Giratina with his son's Ursaring.

Giovanni later appears in person, where he travels to Hoenn. There, he finds an unconscious Red, Green, [[Blaise]], and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}} after they were defeated by an enemy. He takes the four aboard the Team Rocket airship, heals their injuries, and takes their possessions in order to prevent a fight. When they awake, Giovanni reveals himself and explains that he wishes to help stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world.

Later, Giovanni, Red, Green, Blaise, and Amber head to [[Sootopolis City]], where they meet with {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Emerald}} discussing a plan to stop the meteoroid. Giovanni reveals that he possesses a [[Key Stone]] and proceeds to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his Beedrill. Red and the others follow suit by Mega Evolving their Pokémon as well. Giovanni points out that if he was able to use Mega Evolution, which is normally impossible outside of battle, then it suggests that the meteoroid may actually be a Pokémon itself.  

|pkmn=Beedrill ↔ Mega Beedrill

|desc={{p|Beedrill}} is one of Giovanni's main Pokémon. He caught him when he was a {{p|Weedle}} at Viridian Forest while he was a young Pokémon Trainer. Since then, Giovanni has used Beedrill as a reliable partner in many situations as a boss of Team Rocket. Giovanni notes that while he prefers to use Pokémon of his specialty type, Beedrill's origins have given him a profound significance in his heart. In [[PAORAS20]], Beedrill is revealed to have gained the ability to Mega Evolve. He is level 70 and has a Brave nature.}}

Nidoking's known moves are {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}, and {{m|Rock Tomb}}, and his Ability is {{a|Poison Point}}.}}

|img=Giovanni Ursaring Adventures.png‎

|desc={{p|Ursaring}} was caught by {{adv|Silver}} with one of [[Kurt]]'s Heavy Balls since he considered Silver to be a worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}}, unlike {{adv|Gold}}. Ursaring, under Silver's orders, took Giovanni to his base near {{rt|6|Kanto}} so Giovanni could recover from his burns. Later, he reappears with Giovanni at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] where he rips off [[Petrel]]'s Giovanni disguise attempt. Afterward, he fights against {{p|Giratina}}, where he proves to be a powerful opponent for the Renegade Pokémon. As of ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', he is at level 44.}}

|img=Giovanni Deoxys Adventures.png

|desc=Giovanni first took note of this Deoxys, codenamed Organism No. 2, somewhere in the Hoenn region. After it was stolen from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and transported to the Rockets' hideout in [[Kanto]], it was injured by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunder}} during the first battle it had against {{adv|Red}}. As such, it soon retreated to Birth Island to recover, only to be captured by Giovanni. He used Organism No. 2 to create an army of clones called Deoxys Duplicates in an attempt to finish Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}}. It soon fought under his command while on the airship against {{adv|Mewtwo}} while it teamed up with Red. Mewtwo was able to defeat Organism No. 2 after a long battle. The Deoxys joins Red and leaves Giovanni, and after they narrowly escaped an early death from the Rocket Airship crashing in [[Vermilion City]], it flew off to find its brethren, Organism No. 1.}}
