;Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths
When the other villainous teams go into hiding during Team Break's campaign, Paulo leads a pair of members to confront Giovanni at Team Rocket's base. However, while they are able to easily defeat {{mas|Archer}} and {{mas|Ariana}}, Giovanni surprises Paulo by seizing control of Hoopa from him. Giovanni explains that, similarly to Mewtwo, Hoopa's rampaging leaves it in need of a partner who can help it focus its power with a clear mind free of doubt, which Paulo lacks. As he has lost control of Hoopa and the legendary Pokémon it summoned, Team Break abandons Paulo and joins Giovanni, who leaves to launch Team Rocket's conquest of Pasio. Later, while expressing regret for his actions at the Pokémon Center, Paulo learns from Tina, [[Tricia]], [[Trinnia]], and [[Trista]] that Rockruff is alive. Prior to its transformation, Hoopa teleported the badly injured Rockruff away before Ghetsis and {{p|Kyurem}} could strike it down. Tina found Rockruff and brought it to the Pokémon Center, where Tricia, Trinnia and Trista helped it recover. This reunion motivates Paulo to seek redemption for his mistakes, and he joins Tina and the others in their plan to stop Giovanni and save Hoopa by reverting it back to its Confined Form.

Paulo heads out with the player and Tina to find Giovanni. The three are approached by {{mas|Red}}, {{mas|Blue}} and {{mas|Leaf}}, who turn out to be {{mas|Petrel}} and two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in disguise. {{mas|Proton}} joins the confrontation, but {{mas|Archie}} and {{mas|Maxie}} appear to intervene, telling Paulo that they want to help because they too once held strong convictions that led them down the wrong path. Paulo, the player and Tina press onward toward the stadium, with the bosses of the other teams appearing every step of the way to keep Team Rocket from impeding their progress.
Finally, the group confronts Giovanni, who calls forth his Mewtwo and {{p|Nidoking}} to fight them alongside Hoopa. As the battle wears on, Giovanni attempts to make Paulo doubt himself again, but Paulo responds that while he acknowledges everyone has some evil in them, he now believes in the support he receives from his friends. With this newfound resolve, Rockruff evolves into a Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}}, and Paulo is able to [[Dynamax]] it to counter Giovanni's Dynamax Nidoking. The group at last manages to break through to Hoopa, reverting it to its Confined Form and freeing it from Giovanni's influence. With his plans in ruins, Giovanni admits defeat and uses Mewtwo to escape.
Some time later, Paulo reveals that he is now working with the [[International Police]] as part of his probation for his actions as the leader of Team Break, an arrangement that {{mas|Looker}}, {{mas|Anabel}}, {{mas|Emma}} and {{mas|Nanu}} argued for with their superiors.
