While Giovanni very rarely takes the role of antagonist, his agents often have him in mind during missions due to the chance of power, be it through promotion or other means.

[[Image:Giovanni.jpeg|right|thumb|230px|Giovanni and his subordinates]]The only time Giovanni has been seen in battle was in ''[[EP063|The Battle for the Badge]]''. He used powerful Pokémon against Gary but later left the Gym to deal with an unexplained emergency, leaving Ash to battle Jessie. By the time Ash returned from Hoenn, [[Agatha]] was in charge of the Gym until a new leader could be found. Giovanni's reasons for leaving it have not been explained, though it is speculated to be linked with the events of the aforementioned episode. | [[Image:Giovanni.jpeg|right|thumb|230px|Giovanni and his subordinates]]The only time Giovanni has been seen in battle was in ''[[EP063|The Battle for the Badge]]''.
