Giovanni appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO03]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket, Giovanni battled Red's {{p|Charizard}} with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and won the battle easily, before escaping with a helicopter. | |||
[[ | Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would fight against him as an enemy for all Pokémon, instead of a Gym Leader. Hearing this, Giovanni put aside his usual Gym Leader battling [[party|team]] and took out his strongest pair of Pokémon, contained within {{ball|Ultra}}s. The first one was {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which single handedly was able to defeat four of Red's Pokémon before drawing with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During the battle, Giovanni recalled his childhood, where Pokémon battling had meant him having fun, unlike the serious business it meant to him today. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni offered him the Earth Badge as a proof of his victory. Red, however, refused to take a Badge from the Boss of Team Rocket. Seeing this, Giovanni turned to his minions, informing them that from today onwards, Team Rocket would be disbanded for good. He then turned back to Red, offering the Badge to him as the Viridan Gym Leader instead of the Boss of Team Rocket. Red accepted the Earth Badge and left, heading for the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]]. | ||
{{ | |||
===Pokémon=== | As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted a new start with his Pokémon, without being either the Boss of Team Rocket or the Viridian City Gym Leader anymore. | ||
