Arceus and Mewtwo haven't left Giovanni's side for days. With the Gieldanstone strapped inside his suit and Mewtwo wearing his headband, the leader of Team Rocket has been staying in his office where Mewtwo and Persian stand next to him, and Arceus can be seen from his window. He has Matori bring him his meals, and he sleeps on the couch next to his desk that Persian usually lies on. Whatever the case, he has never left his office with the two most powerful Pokemon close to him. He just keeps them close like a little child possessive of his favorite toys. Persian, meanwhile, lies next to its master, bored and eager for something to happen besides seeing Giovanni do nothing but sit in his chair and look at the legendary Pokemon with a demonic grin.

As he sits there quietly, a knock is heard on the door.

"Enter," Giovanni says without looking.

The door opens, and Matori enters the room.

"Sir," she greets plainly.

"How close is the machine to being ready?" Giovanni asks with his eyes fixed on Arceus inside.

"Dr. Zager says won't won't be much longer, sir," Matori answers. "Also, I have summoned Jessie, James, and Meowth here."

Giovanni smiles and finally turns his chair around to face Matori.

"Good. Send them in," he says.

"Yes, sir," Matori replies.

The assistant leaves, and before long, Jessie, James, and Meowth enter. The trio grow uneasy at the sight of Mewtwo floating next to their leader like a mindless zombie and Arceus' head frozen like a statue outside. They gulp before they hide their feelings and salute their leader.

"Sir!" They say.

"At ease," Giovanni says plainly. "You are probably wondering why I've summoned you."

"Yes, sir, we are," James admits.

Giovanni nods and says, "I confess this is unusual, but I have a strange feeling that the current information I have is in some way important. Therefore, I feel I must ask a simple question to the three of you."

"Yes?" The trio asks.

Giovanni takes a deep breath and asks, "How powerful is this Ash Ketchum?"

Jessie, James, and Meowth blink a couple of times before they look at each other, unsure of whether or not their leader just asked the question.

"Well?" Giovanni asks, impatiently.

"Uh...well, powerful enough that he and his friends have stopped every plan we've had with stealing Pokemon," Jessie admits. "Ultimately, if the twerp and his companions didn't keep finding ways to get stronger and smarter, we would have given hundreds of Pokemon by now."

"So you say," Giovanni says unimpressed. "But then again, you three have been known to be clumsy at best on certain missions before."

"But we've had been successful when da twerp ain't around," Meowth protests. "I mean, we were pretty successful during our part in the operation in the Unova League with Dr. Zager, and things were going great until we took the twerp with us along with Meloetta."

Giovanni thinks carefully and bluntly says, "This is true. Continue."

The trio thinks about what else to say until James decides to speak.

"Well, like we said before, his Pikachu is very powerful," he says. "It is even responsible for not only so many of our plans getting foiled but several other Team Rocket operations. Including ones at the S.S. Anne and one of Butch and Cassidy's schemes at Sable City."

"Hmmm, that is a little impressive," Giovanni admits. "We had a couple hundred of our members partaking in that scheme."

"Indeed," James says. "And we've discussed what Agent Basker knows about him, and everything he says about the twerp taking down the other organizations is accurate."

"I see," Giovanni says.

The trio look at each other before Jessie speaks again.

"Excuse me, boss, but may I ask what has caught your interest in him?" She asks.

Giovanni stays silent for a moment before he says, "Might as well. It seems like whether by luck or a twisted sense of fate, this boy does seem to cause trouble against any kind of evil scheme that exists in the world. Most of them are none of our concern, but if he has somehow played a part in defeating all of our rival organizations on top of stopping some of our operations, then it's possible - however unlikely, that this mere boy could somehow interfere with our operation with Arceus."

"So does that mean ya want to do something to make sure that he doesn't?" Meowth asks.

"Precisely," Giovanni answers. "On top of that, it appears that he might be stronger as a trainer than he was when I dealt with him and his Pikachu in Unova. He nearly won the Pokemon league in Kalos, and I've been checking on my computer occasionally on the Indigo League. Apparently, he has made it to the finals and will be going against Timothy Durbin. Whether or not he beats Durbin in battle is of no concern to me. Nevertheless, if things with the machine and other pieces of my plan work exactly as I expect, then at the Indigo Plateau I shall publicly make my declaration that Team Rocket will control all Pokemon in the world and in the process kidnap this boy so that he will do nothing to stop us. And when the whole world bows to us, we will dispose of him."

Jessie, James, and Meowth grow uneasy with what their leader has explained to them. Even though they've bullied, or attempt to steal from or even almost take Ash's life on occasion, they feel worried about the boy. Their feelings may be coming from the few times that they have worked together with Ash and his friends or even secretly rooted for him at the Kalos League even though he's the enemy. Whatever the case, none of them feel any cold sense of excitement or joy at what Giovanni has planned. Regardless, they all know that if they don't show their support to hide the way they feel, they will be in trouble. With forced grins on their faces, they make their reply.

"What a brilliant idea, Boss," Jessie praises.

"I'm so excited to see what you do with that twerp," James lies.

"You don't know what it means to us to see him finally get what's coming to him," Meowth whimpers with fake tears in his eyes.

Giovanni smirks in amusement.

"I'm glad to hear it," he says. "Oh, and by the way, I've transferred a particular sum of money in your bank account. It probably won't mean a thing once the world is ours, but until then, consider it a special bonus for all that you've done to finally accomplish our goal."

The trio's eyes widen, immediately intrigued by how much Giovanni might have given them. They almost scream excitedly for joy, but they keep it together at the last second to stay calm and professional.

"Thank you, sir!" they say.

Giovanni nods and is about to dismiss them until he hears a knock on the door.

"Enter," he says bluntly.

The door open and Matori, Dr. Zager, and Agent Basker.

"Sir!" The latter two say.

"Ah, Doctor, Agent," Giovanni greets with a grin. "I take it you have some good news?"

"Er, mostly, sir," Agent Basker replies.

Giovanni frowns and raises his eyebrow, asking, "Mostly?"

Dr. Zager steps in and says, "Firstly, the machine is finally complete with the brainwashed slaves 009 provided for us. We recently tested it on another one of those fire Pokemon we have in our possession, and it works just as flawlessly as before."

Giovanni smirks before his moment of subtle joy is instantly wiped out of his face.

"Then how do you only have 'mostly' good news?" He questions.

Dr. Zager and Agent Baskar look at each other hesitantly before the former answers.

"I'm afraid, sir, that there are some oversight in how the control all the Pokemon in the world through Arceus," he says.

Giovanni's frown deepens before asking, "What do you mean?"

"Basically, controlling every single Pokemon is not as possible as we predicted even with our original machine," Dr. Zager explains. "Arceus has connections to all eighteen types, but it can't change into all of them at once. It would simply only control all the Pokemon of whatever type it changes into."

"Unacceptable!" Giovanni barks, standing up. "If it's a matter of gaining all of the types, then I'll just have Arceus take the seventeen elemental plates out of its body and use it on the machine with my Pokemon!"

"That might work, sir, but that would mean adjusting the machine to work so that it would use the elemental plates that way," Agent Basker says calmly. "And that's time we do not have given that the end of the Indigo League is basically the deadline. Frankly, sir, it could take years to make the appropriate adjustments. "

Giovanni lets out an angry roar and slams his fist onto his desk, infuriated with what he's hearing. The angry shout makes Persian nervously step away from its master. Jessie, James, and Meowth step back and whimper in fear like the cowards they are while Matori, Dr. Zager, and Agent Basker stay calm. Mewtwo keeps floating next to the leader of Team Rocket while Arceus remains standing outside like a statue. Giovanni pants heavily, staring at the floor while his fists are still on his desk.

But suddenly, a thought clicks in his mind. Slowly, he digs deeper into that thought until he starts quietly chuckling. Matori, Dr. Zager, Agent Basker, and the trio look at him, confused until their leader stands up straight, adjusts his tie, and turns to Dr. Zager.

"Doctor, would the machine need to be off to make said adjustments?" Giovanni asks.

Dr. Zager and Agent Basker look at each other before the former asks, "Sir, are you talking about making the appropriate changes while the machine is on with Arceus in it?"

"I am," Giovanni says plainly.

Dr. Zager hesitates before he thinks carefully against and says, "I suppose we can figure out how to work around it provided that you use the Gieldanstone to order Arceus to take the elemental plates out of its body."

"Excellent," Giovanni says.

"But wait, wouldn't that actually kill Arceus?" Jessie asks.

"Yeah, it does depend on those plates to sur -" Meowth begins before Giovanni turns to them.

"Silence!" He hisses loudly, making the trio whimper in fear again. "I have the Gieldanstone, and therefore, Arceus will never perish unless I command it to! Do you understand?"

"Y-y-y-yes, sir!" Jessie, James, and Meowth squeal.

"Good!" Giovanni says before turning to Dr. Zager and Agent Basker again. "Anyway, I have the perfect plan to work around your demeaning oversight. We know that the machine can only control one Pokemon type depending on which elemental plate it uses, but the rest of the world doesn't."

Matori tilts her head and asks, "What are you thinking, sir?"

"It's simple," Giovanni says, walking over to Matori with his hands behind his back. "On the day I make my public declaration after the Indigo League, we will turn on the machine, put Arceus in it, and then all the Pokemon in the world of whatever type I command Arceus to be will be in our control. I will then say that the world has one month to submit to the will of Team Rocket or witness our machine controlling all of their Pokemon."

"But sir, if that happens, every Pokemon trainer in the world will band together and fight to regain their Pokemon," Matori points out.

"I'm counting on it," Giovanni answers. "Which is why I will have Mewtwo create another devastating storm that will cut off the regions from each other. They won't be able to communicate with one another or travel to one region to another in any way. Everyone in the Kanto and Johto region will likely band together but will fail because we have an army of countless Pokemon of a certain type from all over the world. When the fighting is done, the people of the Kanto and Johto regions will watch us take away all of their Pokemon and force them to submit to us. From there, we will use Mewtwo's powers to be able to travel from region to region, conquering each and every one of them until we have all the Pokemon in the world, and every person will bow down before Team Rocket."

Agent Basker scratches his chin and thinks about his leader's idea before he speaks.

"That sounds like a good idea, boss, but if that's how we're going to carry out your plan, then you need to pick what Pokemon type you want Arceus to be very carefully," he says.

Giovanni grins at his cyborg minion and says, "Oh, I'm way ahead of you, Basker. The Pokemon type I will have Arceus be and thus will have complete control of all Pokemon who are that type will be psychic."

"Oh? And why control all of the psychic Pokemon in the world in particular?" Dr. Zager questions.

"Plenty of reasons," Giovanni answers. "For one, it would mean controlling a good amount of legendary and mythical Pokemon, including the lake guardians, Azlef, Mesprit, and Uxie, the legendary Sinnoh Pokemon, Cresselia, Celebi, Deoxys, Victini, - we would even succeed where my foolish mother did not with obtaining Mew itself. For another, there's a mythical Pokemon in the Kalos region called Hoopa that is a psychic and ghost type and can warp space. Thus we can use its power to transport all of the psychic Pokemon from all over the world to us. We would not be able to do that with any other types, leastways not as proficiently with something like Hoopa. We could do the same thing through Hoopa with ghost type Pokemon, but psychic Pokemon are more strategically effective. They have better capabilities of using their powers of telekinesis for effective purposes in battle like Psychic and Psywave to blow people and Pokemon away. That's not even considering how their other psychic attacks like Psybeam and Psyshock are very destructive. Plus, many psychic Pokemon are dual types, so we would also have the power of more than just psychic depending on the Pokemon. Therefore, if the people of Kanto and Johto try to take us down in battle - and they will, they will be no match against us with both our combat unit and all the psychic Pokemon in the entire world."

The six minions in the room think about their leader's plan, and it takes a couple of minutes until all but Jessie comes to an agreement.

"That's a good plan, boss," Meowth says.

"Indeed," Dr. Zager says with a small nod.

"I couldn't imagine a better plan," Agent Basker praises.

Jessie, meanwhile, thinks carefully before speaking.

"Pardon me, sir, but aren't you forgetting the disadvantages to psychic types? Like how there are some Pokemon that they are not very effective against?" she queries.

James and Meowth turn to their comrade in shock before they take a moment to think about it.

"Now that you mention it, there are a few," James says. "While the Pokemon you will capture will not have to worry about going against other psychic Pokemon, they are very weak against bug, dark, and ghost type Pokemon."

"Yeah, and that's not considerin' how psychic attacks are completely ineffective against dark type Pokemon," Meowth points out.

Matori frowns and bluntly says, "For once, I agree with these three idiots. Psychic Pokemon do have those specific disadvantages."

Jessie, James, and Meowth restrain themselves from yelling at Matori for calling them idiots. Giovanni, however, continues smirking.

"That's very true," he says. "However, that's what makes the Kanto and Johto regions the perfect places to conquer first. There are no dark type Pokemon native in the Kanto region, and there are only a few dark Pokemon in the Johto region: namely Umbreon, Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndour, Houndoom, and Tyranitaur. Even if the people of Kanto and Johto gather all of the dark Pokemon they have for their pitiful fight against us, their numbers would mean nothing compared to the countless psychic Pokemon we will have. And as I said, we would also control psychic Pokemon that are dual types, so not all of our mighty new Pokemon will be helpless against dark type Pokemon. Thus, they may very well take down some of our psychic Pokemon, but dark as well as bug and ghost type Pokemon can only do so much before they all run out of energy, and they will ultimately be overpowered.."

Once again, everyone else thinks about it before Agent Basker nods.

"That's brilliant, sir," he says, grinning. "Plus, when you consider how particularly powerful Mewtwo is by itself, we're practically invincible."

Giovanni frowns and walks over to Mewtwo so that he's standing between it and all six of his minions.

"No. Mewtwo will play no part in the battlefield," he says in a possessive tone. "It and Mew will stay with me at all times. Understood?"

"Uh, yes, sir," Agent Basker says, confused.

"But what about the psychic-type Pokemon we already have?" Jessie asks nervously. "I do have my Wobbuffet as my partner and -"

"Partner?" Giovanni growls. "Don't insult me, Jessie. We aren't trainers who attach ourselves to whatever Pokemon we have. We are Team Rocket. All Pokemon in our possession - including your Wobbuffet are nothing more than tools to serve our cause. It makes little difference if the Pokemon that members like you have will be under our control through Arceus. I don't ever want to hear you show any sort of emotional concern for your worthless Wobbuffet or any other creature again. Is that clear?"

Jessie fights the urge to scream or show any other concern for Wobbuffet. James and Meowth want to say something to help their friend, but they remain silent out of fear.

"Yes...sir," Jessie says reluctantly.

Giovanni nods before his frown turns into another greedy smirk before he speaks again.

"Now that the machine is complete, Mewtwo can begin the next phase of my plan," he says.

"What do you mean?" Dr. Zager asks.

Giovanni turns to Matori and says, "Have every single member pack their things and exit the building immediately."

"Sir?" Matori asks, taken aback.

"You heard me," Giovanni says. "It is time for Team Rocket to move to our new headquarters. One appropriate for the many Pokemon that will soon be in our possession and with the grounds necessary for the coming battle. Now go, all of you. I must give Mewtwo its instructions."

Everyone else in the room, excluding Persian and Mewtwo, stare at the head of their organization in confusion before they silently decide to obey him. They exit the room, leaving Giovanni alone with his Persian and the brainwashed genetic Pokemon. The cruel man smirks again as he walks over to Mewtwo.

"Listen closely, Mewtwo," he commands. "There's some things I need you to do."

************************************************************************************************

After roughly an hour or so, all the hundreds of members of Team Rocket, including the trio, Matori, Dr. Zager, Agent Baskar, and the brainwashed International Police, are standing outside in the headquarters grounds next to the recreated machine with all of their possessions. They all mutter among themselves on what in the world their leader is up to. Some of them come to Matori and ask the secretary, and she constantly tells them that she is as clueless as they are. Jessie, James, and Meowth stand in the middle of the crowd with barely any possessions of their own apart from James' bottle cap collection. The three of them look around to see how befuddled the other members of the organization are.

"What do you suppose da boss is planning?" Meowth asks.

"It's obvious that it has something to do with Mewtwo," James says.

"Yes, but even the sky's the limit for what the boss has planned to do given Mewtwo's incredible power," Jessie points out.

James and Meowth nods in agreement. Then Meowth bites his lip hesitantly before speaking to his comrades.

"By the way, fellers, are we in agreement that we should still be concerned about Arceus?" He queries.

Jessie and James immediately turn to the scratch cat Pokemon and nod.

"I was already worried about what the boss was doing to Arceus before with the Gieldanstone," Jessie says. "But what he plans to do with its elemental plates is unsettling."

"I second that," James says. "I can't say I know everything about Arceus, but I know how much it relies on those plates to stay alive. I fear the boss might be taking things too far with his determination to obtain the world."

"Yeah, but that's the way da boss has always been," Meowth says. "He has always viewed Pokemon has just tools. A means to an end."

"But we know that that it's beyond that, don't we?" James asks. "I mean in the last four years we've been following the twerp and his friends, we've been creating bonds with our Pokemon in the past, haven't we?"

"We sure have," Jessie confirms. "Arkbok, Wheezing, Mimey, Wobbuffet, Inkay, Dustox, Carnivine, Cactuture, and of course, you, Meowth."

Meowth smiles fondly at Jessie before his face turns serious again.

"So, what do we do?" He asks.

"I don't think there's anything we can do," James says seriously. "After all, we are a part of Team Rocket. Capturing Pokemon for the boss has always been our goal. And even if we try to resist, we'll just end up upsetting the boss and get in trouble. I mean, look at the other members all around us. What would we accomplish before all Pokemon are under Team Rocket's control."

Meowth's eyes widen, and he whimpers in fear.

"Hang on, doesn't that mean I'm eventually going to be brainwashed too?" He asks.

Jessie and James's eyes widen in realization.

"That won't happen. We won't let it," James claims.

"How can you be sure?" Meowth whines.

James and Jessie's voices die in their throats, unsure of how to give a comforting answer to their friend. But before either of them can try, Matori calls out to all the other members.

"Attention, everyone, all rise for our leader!" She shouts.

Immediately, everyone stands up and turns in the direction of where Matori is standing behind Arceus. Coming outside of the front entrance is Giovanni, Persian, and Mewtwo. The leader of Team Rocket walks over to Matori's side with his hands behind his back and a prideful smile on his face. Everyone waits patiently for a few seconds before Giovanni clears his throat.

"Loyal members of Team Rocket, tomorrow is the beginning of our eternal reign of the entire world!" He shouts. "Thanks to our new slaves, our mighty machine to use with my mythical Pokemon has been rebuilt within a blink of an eye! It has already been tested, and it works just as perfectly as before! We are once again close to achieving our goal except now, I have the Gieldanstone, and with it, the Pokemon many blindly believe to be a deity, Arceus itself!"

The members of Team Rocket roar in cheerful pride, and even the brainwashed police let out empty cheers under the command of Dr. Zagar.

"But first, this headquarters has served its purpose, and we must relocate for the inevitable battle to come," Giovanni says. "This is why you have been ordered to take all of your possessions out of the building. We are moving to a much more grand location, one that will display our superiority!"

The members of Team Rocket look confused again while Giovanni turns to Mewtwo.

"You have your orders, Mewtwo. Carry them out," he commands.

"As...you...command...master," Mewtwo replies dully.

Mewtwo's eyes glow blue, and it flies high above all the people, Pokemon, and the machine. It then raises its hands, and a large blue beam of energy comes down from the sky and consumes it and several people above him on the ground. Everyone screams in fear except for the brainwashed police, Arceus, and Giovanni, who watches with a grin. The beam quickly expands, consuming the remaining members, the police, the machine, Persian, and Arceus in a matter of seconds before anyone can try to run away from it. When the beam disappears, nothing is left but an empty building.

*******************************************************************************

Somewhere on the border between the Kanto and Johto regions, there is a large, flat green pasture right next to the sea. The pasture goes on for miles on end, and no person or Pokemon comes near it. But as the subtle wind blows on the grass and flowers standing next to the crashing waves, A blue beam loudly crashes on the center of the field and quickly expands until it suddenly disappears with all the members of Team Rocket, the brainwashed police, the large machine, Persian, Meowth, Mewtwo, and Arceus all standing on the pasture. All of Giovanni's followers look around, surprised that they weren't obliterated and wondering where they are. Mewtwo floats down and softly lands next to Giovanni, who keeps his confident grin.

"Shall...I...begin...the...next...phase...master?" Mewtwo asks.

"Post haste," Giovanni replies bluntly.

Mewtwo nods and flies above the sea. Matori watches it fly until it is beyond her line of sight before turning to Giovanni.

"Sir, what could you possibly be planning in the middle of nowhere?" she questions.

Giovanni turns to his assistant and smirks.

"Look around you, Matori," he says. "Flat ground as far as the eye can see. A perfect amount of space for all of the psychic Pokemon once they are rightfully in our control. This is also the perfect location to prepare for the beginning of the war between everyone on Earth who will dare defy us."

It takes a moment before Matori sees the logic in the location before she asks, "But what about Mewtwo? Where did you send it too?"

Giovanni's smirk grows before he asks, "Remember when we purchased New Island years ago?"

Matori looks at him even more confused and says, "Yeah, why?"

Almost as soon as the words leave her mouth, another large, blue beam appears from the sky and crashes into the sea a mile away from the land. All the Team Rocket members yell in alarm as the beam expands and then disappears as quickly as it appeared to reveal a large island in its place with Mewtwo floating high above it.

"You ordered Mewtwo to have the entire island moved all the way over here?!" Matori exclaims in disbelief.

"Oh, I ordered it to do more than that," Giovanni says proudly. "Watch."

The assistant obeys to see Mewtwo still in the air and, with its eyes glowing again, waves its right arm. A white glow appears on the island's surface and a large substance appears from the ground, covering most of the island. The substance grows rapidly, changing shape as it climbs higher into the air. Finally, the large, glowing substance stops growing at over a hundred and twenty stories tall, and it slowly takes shape until it stops glowing to reveal an enormous tower with a red "R" on it so large that it can be plainly seen for miles. Persian and the members of Team Rocket stare at the tower in awe until they see a wide, linear substance coming out from the edge of the island. The substance expands toward the mainland until it touches it, and the glow disappears to reveal a wide bridge connecting to the island. The large machine is then surrounded by a blue aura and is lifted up into the air and is sent floating toward the island. The machine is placed in front of the tower and fuses into the glowing surface until the white glow disappears to reveal the machine fused into the earth. All the members of Team Rocket are completely stunned while the brainwashed police show no emotion in their mindless state. Mewtwo flies back to Giovanni and lands in front of him before bowing its head.

"Are...you...pleased...master?" It asks slowly.

"I certainly am," Giovanni answers before he reaches under his shirt, touches the Gieldanstone and turns to Arceus. "Arceus, stand next to the machine at once. You will stay there until I give the order to step onto it where we will use it on you."

"By your will, master," Arceus says plainly before it flies into the air and gently lands on the left side of the machine.

Giovanni grins as he walks over to the front of the bridge and turns to his minions and brainwashed police with a proud look.

"Members of Team Rocket, slaves, I bid you all welcome to your new home!" He announces loudly. "With its incredible ability to create as Jessie, James, and Meowth testified, I have ordered Mewtwo to build a mighty tower as our new headquarters! Inside are your new quarters along with a new, laboratory for the science division, training rooms for the combat team, and many floors of empty space where we will slowly but surely fill with every Pokemon we liberate throughout the regions! This mighty structure will be a landmark that the entire world will behold as it bows to our will! Come tomorrow at the end of the Pokemon League at Indigo Plateau, I will arrive there with Mewtwo and announce our claim to the world! When I do, Dr. Zager will turn on the machine, and Arceus will get on it at my command with its body turned into a psychic type body! Thus, we will control all the psychic Pokemon in the world, and when they come here, we will have a massive army that no one on Earth has ever seen! Our enemies will no doubt band together and try to stop us, but with the might of our combat unit and all the psychic Pokemon in the world, their attempts will only lead to their own defeat and to have their Pokemon taken from them, increasing our numbers! The Kanto and Johto regions will submit to us, and then we will conquer the Hoenn region, then the Sinnoh, then the Unova region, then the next region, then the next, on and on and on, until every Pokemon is ours and everyone bows to the will of Team Rocket forever!"

It takes a moment to process everything their leader is saying before the entire organization roars in rapturous joy. Even Jessie, James, and Meowth join in just to hide their concerns. Giovanni's grin grows as he points at the bridge.

"Now, to your new quarters at once!" He commands. "And have the slaves taken to the new laboratory to assist the science department; however, they wish!"

Without hesitation, all the hundreds of Team Rocket members grab their things and race to the bridge. Even the trio join in to still keep their worries a secret while also being curious about their new rooms. Giovanni backs away to watch all of his minions run to their new headquarters with excitement. With Dr. Zager and Agent Basker crossing the bridge last with their science team, Looker and the other brainwashed police following them, only Giovanni, Matori, Persian, and Mewtwo remain.

Matori clears her throat and approaches her boss saying, "I hope you had Mewtwo build enough elevators for a building of this size, sir."

"Naturally," Giovanni says, watching his people enter the new building. "Even I am not as cruel as to not have something like that for my magnificent tower. Besides, I have a large chamber all to myself at the very top to show that I am high above the rest."

"Of course, sir. Now one will ever doubt that," Matori says.

"Good," Giovanni says plainly. "Now to your new quarters, Matori. We have work to do before our big day."

"Yes, sir," Matori says before she briefly bows her head to him and starts crossing the bridge.

With the diabolical man alone to admire his new home with Persian and Mewtwo behind him, the cat-like Pokemon walks over to him and sits next to him.

"Meeeoooowww," Persian says.

Giovanni looks at his Pokemon and softly pets it, much to Persian's pleasure.

"At long last, my pet, the world will soon be mine," Giovanni says before he chuckles lightly. "I can only imagine the look on my stubborn mother's face right now. I almost wish she is still here to witness what I have done for the glory of my organization. Soon the world will be mine at last, and nothing in the world; no champions, no ridiculous band of trainers, not even some pathetic teenager with a Pikachu will stop me."
