Kiva, not wanting to be seen on TV, urged pidgeot to quickly fly away. It used aerial ace to escape from the helicopter's path. They came to the east side of town, where Kiva soon found that the path of destruction continued all the way down route seven. Figuring that's where Giovanni must have gone, she followed the trail of havoc.
It went all the way to Saffron City. Kiva flew over Saffron City, relieved that it was still intact. However, the west side, where she was currently, was in the same state as Celadon. And now she saw the cause: Indeed, there was Giovanni, surrounded by not only people in black uniforms, but by a protective bubble as well. It was just as her mother had described the scene. Except for one thing: the bubble that surrounded Giovanni and co. was not tinted blue, as Mewtwo's had been, but tinted red instead.
Kiva urged pidgeot on towards the group, taking care to dodge any stray shots that were fired into the sky. She finally lowered down to the ground, putting a building between Giovanni and herself. As she dismounted from pidgeot, it whistled and turned its head toward the building next to them. Kiva shrieked as the top of it was blown off.
Kiva bolted to her right, calling to pidgeot so it would follow her. As she cleared the building, she found herself in the street in front of Silph co. To her left was Giovanni, along with his troops and the protective red bubble. However, Kiva noticed something that she had not seen before. Drifting alongside Giovanni was a figure that looked like… Mewtwo.
Kiva's heart skipped a beat, until she realized that she was not seeing what she initially thought she was. The new figure was not human, to be sure, but it was not Mewtwo, either. It was smaller, darker, and had pointed ears.
Kiva ignored it for the time being. She centered herself in the middle of the road, and stood waiting. Giovanni approached. As the group got closer, Kiva started to see red Rs on their chests. It soon dawned on her that this was Team Rocket, and they must have been headed by Giovanni all along.
Some of the Rockets had started making gestures at her, trying to get her to move out of the way. Kiva stood her ground. She could see one of them consulting Giovanni as to what to do. She saw him respond, but could not hear his words.
