Chapter 17: Giovanni Returns!
"ICY WIND!" Silver yelled as he took out his Weavile that starts breathing cold snow in the area. "Give me that Abra and no one gets hurt." he said as Weavile raised his claws at the man's neck. The man held Blue's Abra tightly, unable to let go.
"We have to teleport. Let's go!" The man said and the Abra was ready to teleport as she started to glow. Silver had managed to get hold of Weavile and they were teleported as well leaving the three behind.
Silver found himself in an abandoned power plant near Cerulean City. Silver quickly hide in one of the boxes with his Weavile. He saw a familiar pokemon as well, a big yellow bird. The person known as his relative began to talk to it. Silver knew that new-found pokemon. It was Zapdos, one of the legendary birds the Seniors used at the battle with the masked man years ago.
"Green-senpai must have set it free afterwards…" Silver muttered.
Zapdos began to struggle letting lightning surge through his body just to paralyze the stranger. Without hesitation, he stood up and went to Zapdos while the mysterious man just been paralyzed trying to recover himself.
"Well, well, my nephew has followed me." the man said grinning. Silver ignored him a little pissed off.
"You're being cheesy, just get over it!" Silver said lazily. "It's annoying to hear that you're my family all over again! Just shut up!" he yelled. Seriously, hearing the same content is very much annoying.
Zapdos was getting frustrated, letting our electricity from its body having Weavile to guard his trainer but they both had managed to be alright when they saw a certain Ursaring guarding them.
"U-Ursaring…" Silver muttered under his breathe, both he and his Weavile are lost in words. Ursaring just nodded at Silver smiling like a boss then looked at the man angrily. "I-if you're here, does that mean?"
"How you doin' kid?" Giovanni jumped at Silver's side as he gave Silver a grin then a serious look appears on his face to look at their evil relative. "Silver, get you and Zapdos out of here, The dex holders are waiting for you outside. I'll deal with this."
Silver looked at his father confused but he was given a mean glare forcing him to follow. He then rode Zapdos and fled. As Zapdos flew in the air, Silver released Honchcrow and went back to see what's happening. He stayed in the air to check if Zapdos will be fine without him. Zapdos then landed at the ground greeting his former trainer Green happily.
Silver saw below Red, Yellow, Green and Emerald four dex holders stared at Silver for a while then nodded. Red giving him a thumbs-up.
"Silver!" Yellow yelled loudly that Silver looked down with surprised. "Giovanni's good now, Just be safe alright or Blue will be so mad at you!" Silver just smiled and nodded and he flew right back to where he left Giovanni.
Silver and his two pokemons hid at the broken machine near the two men. He's not entirely sure if what Yellow was true, about Giovanni being good. He's still worried if Team Rocket will once again come back and this minor set-up was just to get the evil organization back again.
"You got a nice kid there." the man said. "Is he the new boss in your team rocket?
"This has nothing to do with Silver," Giovanni said simply then he quicky looked down as heard Team Rocket. "No, he's not. Team Rocket has been banned years ago, all members has their own life."
"Really, well there's a new team rocket and I say it's slowly achieving his goal."
"You're a real copy-cat aren't you Jerry." Giovanni said grinning evilly. "You can't even get friend with such pokemons. After I heard your achievements, I exactly knew the reason why you done this."
"And as your brother, I tell you to stop, this is nonsense." Giovanni said. "And I told you to get out!" Silver was surprised at Giovanni's words but he didn't move an inch.
"Kid, I know you're here so get out!" Giovanni yelled as his voice echoed the area. Silver stood up from his place and let Weavile summoned snow and Honchcrow flapped his wings to have a little snowstorm in the area. He also let out Rhyperior and pinned his uncle under Rhyperior.
"I don't care about Team Rocket or your past that has nothing to do with me, all I need is to capture the man who keeps stealing the pokemons all over the world." Silver said simply, giving them his cold glare. "I'm nobody's side so I'm trusting no one." he then glared at Giovanni for that. He walked towards the mastermind and glared at him coldly.
"Your stare...it's perfect for evi-"
"SHUT UP WITH THE EVIL THINGS YOU'RE COMING TO JAIL!" Silver yelled angrily then he picked up Blue's Abra. "And you won't be teleporting again."
Weavile has raised his claws towards Jerry and led him outside to meet up with the dex Holders, followed by Silver and Giovanni.
Outside, Green was about to take off with the criminal in Charizard and they flew to the nearest police station. The other dex Holders has arrived as well including Lyra, Pearl and Platina.
"Silver," Giovanni called and gave Ursaring to Silver. Silver stared at his father intently. "I'm giving him back to you, I'm sorry for everything I've caused you."
Silver sighed and avoided his father's eyes. "It's fine, for everything that happen, I still don't trust you but thank you for today and for Ursaring." he said and he joined his friends leaving Giovanni standing there. Silver gave Blue her Abra back. Blue was so happy to finally reunite with her pokemon that she gave Silver a big hug.
The dex holders left and went to Cerulean City to meet up with Green and celebrate the victory afterwards in Yellow's house as they planned. Red just stayed looking at Giovanni.
"Are you really on the good side?" Red asked Giovanni seriously.
Giovanni laughed softly and looked at Red. "Red, Building Team rocket again will be a waste of time, now that I know all of you will interfere by force."
Red isn't satisfied with his answer. "That still didn't answer my question about you restoring Team rocket."
"You banned Team rocket nine years ago and the Johto kid banned it 3 years after and that's even without my leadership." Giovanni replied calmly. "And to be honest, seeing you all fight made me realize if I fight I might end up losing."
Red felt pride and happiness hearing those words from his former archenemy but he must stay mature so stared at him suspiciously.
"You have my permission to watch my every action if you like proof that I gave up evil." Giovanni said.
"Fine, but I'm still suspicious, this is like the same scenario the time we first met, you feel nobody." Red said.
"I'll swear an oath I'm not." Giovanni said as he raised his right hand and the othe other on his chest.
Red thought of a moment when Silver starts seeing Giovanni everyday in the neighborhood. Will he get mad? Will he ignore Giovanni? Red was worried at what reaction will have and also, what will the other people who have a grudge against Giovanni react.
"So, what will you do now?" Red asked still in thought. "Uhh I mean what will you do now that Green has taken over the gym. You are the former gym leader of Viridian City." he said frustrated.
Giovanni smiled. "If the people of Viridian has approve of my presence then I shall stay there as a normal citizen but if not, I'll find a way."
"And that way is?" Red asked curiously.
"Go to every town or stay in my secret bases." Giovanni said then he raised his hand as he noticed Red's glare. "If it disturbs you, you can check them all." he smiled as if he's not offended at all.
Red took a deep breath and smiled at Giovanni as he starts to sway casually to his heels. "That's the right info I need to just trust you a bit-Just a bit."
Giovanni just shrugged carelessly but looked down. "I hope you forgive for everything I've done like killing you with the use of Deoxys."
Red just fell silent and frown. "No need, lucky I'm alive that's the important part." he said carelessly. "Anyway, you have to make amends to everyone. I know you're not the baddie in this adventure but you are the old one."
"Yes, of course, let's go." Giovanni said then he and Red flew to Viridian city while riding their flying pokemons.
The dex holders are now finally resting at Yellow's house after they accused the mastermind behind bars. Yellow is taking a nap, Green was reading a random book from Yellow's shelf, Blue kept entertaining or bonding with her Abra after the long separation they just had. Sapphire, Emerald and Wally is watching some TV, Ruby and Platina grooms everyone's pokemons, Diamond and Pearl is at the kitchen, cooking a delight meal for the victory, Crystal sat at one of the chairs if possible scolding Gold's behavior, Gold on his usual attitude kept telling the story of their recent adventure. Lyra listening to his brother intently, she has already removed her disguise and Silver was taking a short rest as well as he waits to heal his body's numbness.
Red entered Yellow's house slowly as he peaked inside. Everyone's eyes is at his. As Red saw the dex holders inside he casually enters the house. Giovanni follows him and the atmosphere turns dark as they starts shooting glares at Red and Giovanni. Glares from Silver, Crystal, Gold and Blue.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Red said as he began to frustrate calming everyone down. "I know we have bad memories with him but he's good now right?" he looked at Green for support but unfortunately he didn't get what he expected.
"I need to have a fresh air if you'll ex-" Silver said about to leave, struggling through his numbness but Red glared at him which makes Silver stayed at his usual spot.
"Red, you know he's a bad person," Blue began. "He created team rocket and took my Abra."
"Correction," Red began. "His brother stole your Abra not Giovanni."
"That's the same." Blue said.
Red is ready to defend Giovanni but Giovanni replaced himself at Red's place to continue this argument.
"I am truly sorry for what happened these past few weeks, my brother commits a lot of mistakes to you so I apologizing for him being my family," Giovanni began. Silver on the other hand, ignored his speech by randomly playing with his hand by opening and closing it. "I apologize for everything."
"Alright," Gold began, having everyone stares at him. "I'll forgive everything you've done if you don't create team rocket ever again! Don't go stealing pokemons for experiments."
Giovanni smiled at Gold. "I promised."
"Then we don't have any problems between you and me-Ouch!" Gold said nodding to himself but Crystal slapped him by the shoulder.
"You can't just make amends that's easy to a criminal." Crystal whispered but Giovanni heard this.
"Oh how can I prove my deal then?" Giovanni asked looking at Crystal.
"Don't steal pokemons for experiments." Crystal said as her voice starts to go high.
"That's what I said." Gold said lazily.
Giovanni smiled happily as he nodded. "I promise you that, to show proof I'm telling the truth, you can observe my every action."
For a long time of explanation and repetitive oaths to prove Giovanni's amend, they finally agrees to forgive the man. Silver is the only one who's not fully agreeable that he will treat Giovanni as a father.
After that, Red and Green managed to help Giovanni to be accepted by the people of the city and luckily they succeeded. It's also lucky that the townsfolk didn't demolished Giovanni's old house. Giovanni agrees to let Green take care of the gym to follow what lies in the rules.
