Chapter 1
The Last Five Years
Five years had passed since his defeat. Five years had passed since Team Rocket had fallen. In that time almost nothing had happened. Only two years ago some of the remaining Grunts and the Executives tried to return. But that did not last. This time, it would be different. This time, no kids were going to get in the way. This time, Giovanni would become the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the world.
He remembered it so well. Some kid named Red discovered his hideout in Celadon City. He was then defeated in battle by this kid. In the confusion of escaping Giovanni dropped his Silph Scope and Red picked it up. Because of this Team Rockets operations in Lavender Town were foiled.
Only a week later Giovanni broke into Silph Co. in Saffron City, to steal the Top Secret Master Ball. Another young kid called Blue came to battle this time but he never even reached Giovanni. He was in control until Red came to fight. Giovanni had gotten stronger but so had Red. Red won with ease for a second time. Giovanni was driven out of the building. His operation had failed. To his rage he found out that Red was given a Master Ball by the company president for saving them. He had to get stronger.
This is when he returned to Viridian City where he was the Gym Leader. His Pokémon all got stronger after beating all the pathetic challengers. Then he had a good challenger. That kid, Blue, who didn't even get past his idiotic trio, Jessie, James and that stupid talking Meowth. But this time Blue won and Giovanni congratulated him and waited for another challenger. Of all the people it could have been it had to be the one always ruining his plans. Red. He wouldn't lose this time. His Pokémon were far stronger than they were in Saffron City. He put up a tough fight for Red but Red only just won. After putting up and act of graciousness Giovanni went into seclusion and hiding to become more powerful so he could reform Team Rocket.
After three years of training in Tohjo Falls he heard a radio broadcast. It was from his deputy, Archer, saying that Team Rocket had returned. On his way out another kid, called Gold, stopped him with Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon, at his side. Gold beat him in battle and returned to the past and at the same time that Giovanni was defeated by Gold in Tohjo Falls, a future version of Gold defeated the rest of Team Rocket in Goldenrod City.
Things were different now. He was far away from Kanto and Johto and was training amongst people who didn't know him. Even though this region had there share of crime syndicates attacking he was hoping to bring Team Rocket back here before returning to Kanto and Johto.
