—------------------—
Over the next two months, the World Championship continued in full swing.
As time went on, the World Championship main event drew closer, and the competition for rankings became increasingly fierce.
Especially the battle for the Eight Masters rankings; Everyone wanted to enter the Eight Masters before the main event began.
At the same time, another 'dark horse' was rapidly rising, and what was shocking was that this person's appearance and main Pokémon were highly similar to Kanto Champion Giovanni.
And he, of course, was the released Rainbow Giovanni.
In just one month, Rainbow Giovanni rose from the Poké Ball level all the way to the Ultra Ball level, ranking in the top fifty.
Then, in another month, he successively challenged Wallace, Drayton, and Blue, finally challenging Mr. Volo, who was No. 7 of the Eight Masters.
Inside the Indigo Plateau arena.
Rainbow Giovanni and Mr. Volo were battling for rankings; one was the big boss from "Ultra Sun and Moon," and the other was the big boss from "Pokémon Legends: Arceus."
Mammon naturally came to the scene personally to watch the battle.
Of course, due to certain special reasons, Charles Goodshow specifically arranged special viewing rooms for Mammon and others, so they didn't have to squeeze into the stadium with other spectators.
Meanwhile, in a certain 'cell' within the Team Rockets castle.
"Tsk~ Giovanni, that guy, he's really enjoying himself."
Rainbow Archie, with his legs crossed, lay on the sofa like a lord, watching the TV broadcast, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Everyone else was captured, yet Rainbow Giovanni could play outside, while they were still confined to this room.
"Ghetsis, are you blind? Will the drink fly into my cup by itself?"
Then Rainbow Archie said to Rainbow Ghetsis, who was cowering in the corner, with dissatisfaction.
"..."
Rainbow Ghetsis, with a gloomy face, hurriedly ran over, picked up Rainbow Archie's cup, filled it with a drink, and respectfully handed it to Rainbow Archie.
Gulp gulp~
After finishing the iced soda in a few gulps, Rainbow Archie placed the cup back in Rainbow Ghetsis's hand and patted his head with satisfaction.
"Not bad, your movements are much more efficient this time."
Hearing the words of the prison bully Rainbow Archie, Rainbow Ghetsis forced a smile, hating this muscular idiot in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Rainbow Ghetsis felt sorrowful; everyone had their Pokémon confiscated, but Rainbow Archie, relying on his well-trained physique, had clearly become the prison bully in this cell.
If one didn't obey, Rainbow Archie's fists were no joke.
Hmm, Rainbow Ghetsis had a lot to say about that.
Especially... he was truly afraid that one night, Rainbow Archie would want to sleep with him!
In that case, Rainbow Ghetsis would truly develop a psychological trauma.
Rainbow Cyrus and Rainbow Lysandre kept their eyes fixed on the TV; they were more concerned about whether their former boss's Eight Masters battle would succeed.
"Emmm, Mr. Volo and Mr. Giovanni from another world, their battle is truly unpredictable."
Ash scratched the back of his head in frustration, looking at the two on the field with a headache.
"Indeed, it's hard to say what the outcome of their battle will be, but I still hope Mr. Volo can win."
Cynthia, with a big belly, watched Mr. Volo in the arena with her beautiful eyes.
Psychologically, she naturally favored Mr. Volo, after all, Mr. Volo was her ancestor.
"Mammon, what do you think?"
Caitlin, supporting her good sister, asked Mammon.
"The difficulty is still very high."
Mammon chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said so.
He still favored Rainbow Giovanni, after all, Rainbow Giovanni possessed Mewtwo.
Actually, to be precise, although Mr. Volo, in terms of plot significance, was not as high as Rainbow Giovanni, who controlled Rainbow Rocket.
But as a direct descendant of the ancient Hisui people, a partner of Giratina, and most importantly, Mr. Volo's opponent was Akari.
If both Mr. Volo and Rainbow Giovanni were at their peak, Mammon actually thought Mr. Volo's chances of winning should be even higher.
After all, Giratina, the master of the Distortion World, was no joke.
However, according to Akari, Mr. Volo had already been defeated by her, including Giratina, who came out to cause trouble at the end... Although Akari didn't pursue Mr. Volo's responsibility in the end, due to the failure of his plan, Mr. Volo had also lost Giratina.
On the field.
"Mr. Giovanni from a parallel world? How interesting."
Mr. Volo, dressed in simple casual clothes, looked at Rainbow Giovanni with interest.
Giovanni from a parallel world, in a sense, was like him, not a person of this era.
"The feeling is mutual."
Rainbow Giovanni smiled faintly, a hint of malice always lingering on his lips.
His deep eyes gazed at the handsome blonde young man opposite him; Rainbow Giovanni was also very interested in him.
"According to Mammon, you are also not from this era, an ancient Pokémon tamer, right?"
"I didn't expect Mammon to tell you that too." Mr. Volo was a little surprised.
"Heh~ Come on, let me see how skilled you, an ancient tamer, are, and whether you can be considered a strong person."
Rainbow Giovanni gently stretched his hands; the reason he participated in this World Championship was to battle Giovanni again!
And if there could be other strong people, that would naturally be even better.
Rainbow Giovanni liked powerful Trainers, but in the past, as a leader responsible for the entire organization, he didn't really like battles that resulted in mutual destruction.
But now, it was different.
"This humble one also wants to know, how strong is Giovanni from another world?"
Mr. Volo's lips slowly curved into a smile, his expression gradually differing from his usual humble and gentle demeanor.
The battle began!
And without a doubt, their battle was incredibly fierce; both Mr. Volo and Rainbow Giovanni were top Champion-level Trainers.
For them, such a powerful opponent was absolutely rare and hard to come by.
The Indigo Plateau arena was set with Gigantamax energy points by Mammon using Eternatus, so on the Indigo Plateau, they could use almost all enhancement methods and battle to their heart's content.
Mr. Volo's first Pokémon was Spiritomb, while Rainbow Giovanni's first was Dugtrio.
After an intense clash, Mr. Volo's Spiritomb still couldn't defeat Dugtrio, but through Destiny Bond, Spiritomb also took down the heavily injured Dugtrio.
Both Pokémon perished together.
Then Mr. Volo's Roserade appeared, and Rainbow Giovanni sent out Nidoqueen; finally, Roserade narrowly defeated Nidoqueen.
Subsequently, Rainbow Giovanni's third Pokémon was Nidoking, which defeated Roserade.
Mr. Volo then sent out Lucario; Lucario, relying on its flexible and swift movements, defeated Nidoking.
Rainbow Giovanni's fourth Pokémon was Golem, which immediately Gigantamaxed and defeated Mr. Volo's Lucario.
Mr. Volo then sent out Togekiss, also Gigantamaxing, and defeated Golem, though Togekiss also sustained considerable damage.
Rainbow Giovanni's fifth Pokémon was Rhyperior, Terastallized to Rock type, and relying on its powerful Rock-type offensive moves, it defeated Togekiss.
Mr. Volo's fifth Pokémon was Hisuian Arcanine, also Terastallized to Rock type.
Finally, it narrowly defeated Rainbow Giovanni's Rhyperior.
"What an intense battle!"
Ash watched with boiling blood, yet also gasped in amazement.
The battle rhythm between Mr. Volo and Rainbow Giovanni was too tight, and neither gave an inch, going back and forth.
Even now, although Mr. Volo had a slight advantage, it wasn't by much.
"I wonder what the ace Pokémon of this Mr. Giovanni from another world is, is it Mewtwo?"
Ash was a little curious; Rainbow Giovanni on the field had already recalled the defeated Rhyperior.
He had already lost five Pokémon, with only one left.
Rainbow Giovanni was a 'dark horse' who had only risen in the past two months, but so far, no one had pushed Rainbow Giovanni to his limit.
On the field.
"I never expected your strength to be so formidable."
Rainbow Giovanni looked at the Poké Ball of Rhyperior in his hand for a long time, then let out a low chuckle.
Previously, Mammon told him that without Mewtwo, many people in this world would likely defeat him. Although Rainbow Giovanni showed no expression on his face, he scoffed at it in his heart.
Did they really think he, Rainbow Giovanni, only relied on Mewtwo? His other main Pokémon were also very powerful!
But now, Rainbow Giovanni had to believe it.
Just Mr. Volo, who was No. 7, had pushed him to this extent.
"But next, how will you deal with it?"
Rainbow Giovanni threw out his last Poké Ball.
The silver-white genetic Pokémon slowly floated down, its indifferent eyes fixed on the Terastallized Hisuian Arcanine.
"Mewtwo..."
Mr. Volo's brows immediately furrowed.
He was certainly no stranger to Mewtwo; he had seen it several times with Mammon, but Mammon's Mewtwo was Dark Mewtwo.
"That's right, this is the strongest Pokémon... Team Rockets' greatest masterpiece—Mewtwo!"
Rainbow Giovanni stood with his hands in his pockets, his magnetic, deep voice inevitably carrying a hint of pride.
He wanted to say 'the strongest Pokémon,' cough cough, but Rainbow Giovanni, whose horizons had originally broadened, still changed his words... Mewtwo remained calm and aloof, its light blue eyes glowing faintly, lost in thought.
Its thoughts had drifted to the film Mammon had asked it to shoot a while ago. Actually, the reason it initially agreed to Mammon's film was because Mammon said he was willing to let it interact with Dark Mewtwo.
Mewtwo, longing for its kin, naturally couldn't refuse this request.
But after filming... was it really born from Mew's genetic cells?
Mewtwo couldn't help but fall into thought, because the pig it saw at the time—no, it was Mew—really made it question its existence.
"You are a worthy opponent, Mr. Volo. Let me see, facing Mewtwo, how will you defeat it?"
Rainbow Giovanni smiled faintly. He admitted that Mr. Volo's strength was great, but Mewtwo was his strongest Pokémon.
If he couldn't defeat Mewtwo, he couldn't defeat Rainbow Giovanni!
Mr. Volo's brows furrowed even tighter. Although Rainbow Giovanni's words were arrogant, the Mewtwo before him was indeed a difficult problem.
If Giratina was still willing to help him, that would be great. Mr. Volo wouldn't mind using Giratina to teach this guy from another world a good lesson.
But Giratina had already been defeated to the point of self-isolation by Akari back then... and then he heard that Giratina was now captured by Mammon?
