In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well-known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[villainous teams|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After | In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well-known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[villainous teams|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After the [[player]] defeated him and his team of Grunts at [[Silph Co.]], Giovanni fled to a hideout that the player is unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. Here, he specializes in the {{t|Ground}} type. Once defeated, he disbanded Team Rocket and left the player with the {{Badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. If talked to again, he then vanishes and is not seen again for the rest of the game. | ||
Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). He also implies that he intends to return to power one day rather than being moved to dedicate his life to the study of Pokémon. There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Team Rocket members are trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they abandon this when they realize that their leader has been defeated once and for all. | Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure).
