Giovanni appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] after Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket every time, Giovanni decided to put him in his place, and battled [[Red's Charizard]] with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, winning easily before escaping with a helicopter, declaring that Red could never understand what he was hoping to achieve. | Giovanni appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]].

Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would battle him as the enemy of 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 [[Ultra Ball]]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 started actually feeling excited, and wondered why he was feeling that way. When he saw the pose Red took while sending out his Charizard, he finally remembered his childhood passion for Pokémon and battling, and wondered how he could have ever turned into a person who only treated Pokémon as tools for business. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{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 that moment | Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader.

As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer. | As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer. | ||
