—------------------—
Rainbow Giovanni was already feeling a bit annoyed.
Because his main Pokémon, Nidoking, had just been defeated by the Mega Beedrill on the other side.
Moreover, Nidoking had almost no chance to fight back throughout the battle. Not only was it at a disadvantage in speed, but even the Ice Beam it fired was easily sliced apart by Mega Beedrill's Cut.
From that moment on, Rainbow Giovanni felt that something was wrong.
Because the strength displayed by this Mega Beedrill... was a bit too overpowered!
It's just a Beedrill, how could it be so strong?
"It seems your strength isn't as great as you claim," Giovanni said, still with one hand in his pocket, a faint smile on his face.
Although Mega Beedrill defeated Nidoking, he didn't take the opportunity to directly attack Rainbow Giovanni himself.
Firstly, given Rainbow Giovanni's personality, it was impossible for him not to have a backup plan to Protect his own safety.
Secondly, of course, it was to completely crush Rainbow Giovanni.
You send out one Pokémon, and I'll defeat one!
It would then be obvious who the strongest 'Giovanni' was, wouldn't it?
That's right, Giovanni wasn't some kind-hearted person. Did Rainbow Giovanni really think those taunts wouldn't boomerang back at him?
Especially, Giovanni wanted Rainbow Giovanni to immediately experience what instant karma felt like!
Giovanni was very confident. A 'Giovanni' who didn't even have a Beedrill, what could he use to fight him?
Yes, he didn't have Mewtwo, but he had Groudon!
If Mewtwo Y wanted to rush back to save the day, was Primal Groudon just a decoration? So, this was destined to be a personal solo battle between the two 'Giovanni's.
"Hehehe... Giovanni, the battle has just begun."
Rainbow Giovanni's face grew increasingly dark at this moment. Even with his usual composure, a forced, unnatural smile was beginning to appear.
There was no other way. For Rainbow Giovanni, 'Giovanni' was the one person he least wanted to lose to.
Who could accept losing to a 'peer' they looked down upon?
"Then let me see your next level?" Giovanni said noncommittally, even gesturing for Rainbow Giovanni to continue.
Rainbow Giovanni's eyes were terrifyingly cold, as he was truly starting to lose his temper.
He knew that Giovanni's seemingly respectful attitude was, in fact, the greatest contempt.
Because it expressed Giovanni's absolute confidence in himself, and also in Mega Beedrill!
"Rhyperior!"
Rainbow Giovanni threw out his Rhyperior, which was also one of Giovanni's main Pokémon.
Therefore, Rainbow Giovanni and Giovanni were truly too similar, because Giovanni possessed all of Rainbow Giovanni's main Pokémon.
In fact, if it weren't for capturing Groudon last year, and later obtaining Ursaluna and Great Tusk, Giovanni's main lineup would have been highly overlapping with Rainbow Giovanni's.
Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Dugtrio, Rhyperior—all were main Pokémon Giovanni favored.
But unfortunately, Rainbow Giovanni was going to suffer today.
"Tsk~ You know, this Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni, of all people he could have provoked, he had to provoke the old man here. This really is... 'Why must there be a Zhou Yu when there is a Zhuge Liang?'"
Mammon couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart upon seeing this scene.
"Wow~ There really are two Uncle Giovannis."
A surprised voice came from behind Mammon, it was the Selene trio who had arrived.
"Yo, you guys are here. Have you cleaned up all the people in your area?"
Mammon turned his head and raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph hmph~ Of course! I'm super strong! And with the help of Sister Karen and the others, I easily captured Rainbow Rocket's Maxie, oh, and he even had a Groudon with him."
Selene put her hands on her hips, proudly raising her little head, like a victorious rooster.
"I know you're amazing. So why did you bring Karen and the others over again?"
Mammon teased her, after all, Selene was indeed someone who easily became proud and complacent.
"Ah~ It's not like I noticed it in the live stream, right? Is Calyrex really going to start live streaming and become a streamer?"
Selene asked with great curiosity. Her relationship with Calyrex was pretty good in private, so she roughly knew some information about Calyrex.
Knowing is one thing, but Calyrex starting a live stream... this art was a bit too avant-garde. She probably couldn't handle it.
But then Selene changed the subject.
"A battle between two Uncle Giovannis, I absolutely have to come and see this!"
Hearing Selene's words, Karen nodded in deep agreement. This was huge news, and she could even witness it live.
"Actually, there's nothing much to see. This one from another world isn't as good as my dad."
Mammon chuckled, then made his final judgment.
Although Rainbow Giovanni's Mewtwo Y was indeed slightly stronger than Primal Groudon, it was only slightly.
It might be able to defeat Primal Groudon, but if they fought each other, it would be hard to say how long it would take to determine a winner.
At least, it definitely wouldn't happen quickly.
However, Giovanni defeating Rainbow Giovanni definitely wouldn't take that long.
No other reason, because Mega Beedrill was just too ruthless!
It had actually been mentioned long ago that in the real world, at least before the Pokémon's strength gap reached a qualitative difference, the outcome of a battle between two Pokémon largely depended on their current state, on-the-spot command, and the Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses.
But precisely because Mega Beedrill is a high-speed, high-burst Pokémon, Rainbow Giovanni's Pokémon truly had a hard time dealing with it.
The main reason was that Mega Beedrill could fly! And it flew very fast.
If their strengths were similar, it would be fine; a steady defensive counterattack would work, which was also Rainbow Giovanni's specialty.
But the problem was, Giovanni was also good at that, and being good at it, he naturally knew how to deal with it.
Mega Beedrill's burst power was simply too strong. Unless Protect was used, a single touch would hurt terribly, two touches would make them yelp, and three touches would put them down for good.
And only Mega Beedrill could touch his Pokémon; Nidoking and the others simply couldn't touch Mega Beedrill.
So, in a sense, a fast, high-burst Pokémon like Mega Beedrill really needed to be contained.
Because if you don't find a way to deal with it, even if two Trainers have similar strength, you could very likely be swept by your opponent, taking out three or four Pokémon, or even the entire team!
And now, Rainbow Giovanni was caught in such a predicament.
Following Nidoking, Rhyperior also fell, defeated by Mega Beedrill's Brick Break.
Rainbow Giovanni's face was quite ugly at this moment.
Because Rhyperior... also didn't even touch Mega Beedrill once.
And seeing this scene, Calyrex's live stream was now ecstatic, with cheers filling the screen.
"Champion Giovanni!!! My eternal god!"
"So strong, Champion Giovanni! You should ruthlessly beat up that impostor!"
"Hahahahaha~ I knew Champion Giovanni could do it. The other guy's face is all messed up, I'm dying of laughter."
"He's so cool! I really can't understand how this parallel world's Giovanni could join an Evil Organization. Our Uncle Giovanni is clearly so kind and righteous!"
The audience in the live stream expressed their feelings freely. Even Giovanni supporters like Wallace, seeing Giovanni beating up the impostor Giovanni, were so thrilled that they sent dozens more rockets.
Hmm, Calyrex's first live stream, it made a fortune.
Although it didn't use the money, Calyrex was so happy to see its followers supporting it that it threw two more Star Shatters at Mewtwo Y.
Mewtwo Y was drenched in sweat at this moment.
"How could this be..."
Rainbow Giovanni's expression had begun to change. He looked at the handsome and cool Mega Beedrill opposite him, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
He couldn't understand why a mere Beedrill could be trained to be so powerful?
This was simply unreasonable!
No, that's not right.
Thinking of Pryce's Swinub and Delibird when he first arrived in this world, Rainbow Giovanni's eyelids twitched twice, as if it was somewhat... reasonable?
"Can't figure it out?"
Giovanni, however, was in a very good mood, especially seeing Rainbow Giovanni's ugly expression.
He understood that Rainbow Giovanni was starting to lose his composure.
After all... no matter how mature and steady he appeared, Giovanni understood 'Giovanni' best, because Giovanni was arrogant and conceited.
Otherwise, Giovanni wouldn't have secretly called himself 'the strongest man in Kanto' in the past. (PS: In the game, Giovanni refers to himself as the strongest man)
How could someone who says such things not be arrogant?
It's just that Giovanni was naturally cautious and mature, and also needed to maintain a facade, so there weren't many people who truly understood him.
"Giovanni, you are very strong, and very capable, but..."
Giovanni's unhurried words paused. He glanced at Caitlin, Cynthia, and Akari slowly walking over, and the smile on Giovanni's lips deepened.
Rainbow Giovanni also saw the three women, Caitlin, Cynthia, and Akari, approaching, and his expression grew even darker.
"Bonds—that's something you've never cared about, right? But it's precisely because I have this that... you can't defeat me."
Giovanni said with a faint smile, looking at Mega Beedrill, his oldest partner, with an almost imperceptible pride in his tone.
Yes, during his time leading Team Rockets, he was ruthless, doing whatever it took to achieve his goals, even viewing Pokémon as mere tools.
But he believed there was a fundamental difference between himself and this so-called boss of Rainbow Rocket, Rainbow Giovanni, who supposedly surpassed Team Rockets.
"Hehehe..."
Rainbow Giovanni was practically fuming with laughter upon hearing this. His gloomy face was now undisguised, his eyes, as if shrouded in shadow, were chilling.
"Are you... lecturing me?"
Rainbow Giovanni still tried his best to maintain his composure, speaking with a forced, unnatural smile, his chest already rising and falling rapidly several times.
The fury in his heart was now burning fiercely.
His pride made him unable to accept this moment, the triumphant superiority of another Giovanni, and the target was actually him!
"Giovanni, what right do you have to point fingers at me!"
But the next moment, Rainbow Giovanni forcibly suppressed his emotions, sneering incessantly.
Bonds? What a ridiculous thing, and the most ridiculous part was that he heard this word from his parallel world counterpart, another 'Giovanni'.
Giovanni? Bonds? It was simply comical.
"I am the real Giovanni! The strongest Giovanni!"
He single-handedly created Rainbow Rocket, which surpassed Team Rockets? And this Giovanni in front of him?
"I have dominated six parallel worlds! I made the overlords of five parallel worlds bow down to me! My Rainbow Rocket is a colossal force spanning multiple worlds, Giovanni! What do you have? Kanto Champion?"
Rainbow Giovanni laughed angrily.
"Yes, your career is very successful, but then what?"
Giovanni chuckled softly, completely unconcerned. He pointed at Mammon.
"Do you know? Mammon has more legendary Pokémon stronger than your Mewtwo than he can count on one hand. For him to crush you would take no more effort than stepping on an ant."
"And he is my son. Do you have one?"
Rainbow Giovanni's face turned pale, then green.
"Low-key, low-key, old man, be low-key, I'm still live streaming, don't praise me so much." Mammon waved his hand very modestly.
"And look at these. They are all my daughters-in-law. They usually call me father-in-law. Do you have any?"
Giovanni then pointed at Selene, Caitlin, and the other girls. The beautiful, pure, and elegant young women were, for once, a little embarrassed.
Rainbow Giovanni's face began to darken.
"And then there's Akari. That's my Granddaughter. Terapagos sent her from the future. Her original self is still unborn in another daughter-in-law's belly. Oh, by the way, do you have a Granddaughter?"
Giovanni smiled faintly and pointed at Akari again. Akari blinked her eyes, smiling very sweetly.
Finally, Giovanni even feigned ignorance and asked Rainbow Giovanni a question.
"Oh, right, I forgot. You don't even seem to have a son. How pathetic. Perhaps you can't understand the troubles of having a genius son and then a house full of grandchildren, since you have to give so many red envelopes every year."
Giovanni said blandly.
Although he spoke of troubles, anyone could tell Giovanni's true meaning at that moment.
"Oh, by the way, Mammon is actually my eldest son. I also have a second son who is equally a genius. Would you like me to introduce him to you? Although he's not as good as Mammon, he's a Champion-level child after only one year of being a Trainer, and he's very sensible."
Good heavens!
Mammon was stunned. How vicious was this old man??
Was this still the mature and steady old man he knew? Had he been possessed?
His old man clearly wasn't so sarcastic before.
"Giovanni!!"
Rainbow Giovanni trembled with rage. Are you f*cking messing with me here???
I don't care about your happy life at all!! Giovanni is meant to build an empire!
An empire! Do you understand an empire? Men are supposed to build empires! Who told you to live a happy and fulfilling family life?
You're really a disgrace to the name 'Giovanni'.
Pah!! You don't f*cking deserve to be called 'Giovanni', do you know that?
Most importantly, he couldn't even defeat this 'Giovanni' who had no ambition at all, damn it!... Rainbow Giovanni finally couldn't maintain his composure.
"Mewtwo, kill them for me! Kill them all!!"
"...Can't win."
"??"
