"Hahahahaha…"
Jimo's unrestrained laughter echoed through the frozen forest, leaving **Saturn** deeply unsettled.
He had been certain his deduction was correct—so why was this man laughing at him?
Finally, Saturn's frustration overcame his fear.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Jimo wiped away imaginary tears, a mocking smile tugging at his lips.
"Ah, forgive me. Your guess was so far off the mark that I couldn't help myself."
He tilted his head, eyes glinting with amusement.
"Tell me, though—what reasoning led you to such a self-righteous and wildly mistaken conclusion?"
---
Saturn bristled, glaring at Jimo with clenched teeth.
This man was infuriating. His smugness, his handsome face, his overwhelming power—everything about him made Saturn want to strike him.
And yet, Saturn's deduction *had* been logical.
When he explained his reasoning aloud, Jimo nodded thoughtfully, as if praising a clever child.
"Indeed, based on what you know, that would be the most likely answer."
His smirk returned.
"But unfortunately… you're still wrong. I am not with Team Rocket. And Giovanni has no interest in crossing an ocean to meddle in Sinnoh."
"Right now, he's far too occupied with… the Kanto League."
---
Saturn froze, his indignation evaporating in an instant. His pupils shrank as Jimo's words struck him like thunder.
"What did you say?! The leader of Team Rocket… is Giovanni? Giovanni, the Viridian City Gym Leader?!"
The very thought seemed absurd.
---
In the Pokémon world, nearly every region harbored its own villainous group: Team Galactic in Sinnoh, Team Aqua and Team Magma in Hoenn, Team Plasma in Unova, Team Flare in Kalos…
But among them all, one name stood unmatched—**Team Rocket of Kanto**.
Even Saturn, proud as he was, had to admit that Rocket's power and influence far exceeded that of Galactic.
For years, countless people had speculated about Rocket's true leader. But no matter the method, no matter the connections, no one had uncovered the truth.
And yet, this man before him had spoken the secret aloud as if it were common knowledge.
---
"The Rockets… and Giovanni…" Saturn whispered.
It couldn't be. It was unthinkable.
Giovanni was a respected Gym Leader of the Kanto League—Viridian's Gym Leader, no less! The idea that he also led the most notorious criminal organization in the world was beyond belief.
"Hm?" Jimo asked with mock innocence. "Do you think there are *that* many men named Giovanni in this world?"
His lips curved into a wicked smile.
"Yes. It's exactly who you're thinking of—Giovanni, Leader of Viridian Gym. The man they call 'Giovanni of the Earth.'"
---
For a moment, the three Commanders—Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—were struck dumb, their minds reeling from the revelation.
The truth was almost too great to comprehend.
The boss of Team Rocket, the shadow that plagued Kanto, was not some faceless monster hiding in the dark.
He was a public figure, standing in the light of day.
A Gym Leader of the Pokémon League itself.
---
"No wonder…" Mars muttered. "No wonder no one could find him! His cover was perfect. Who would ever suspect a Gym Leader?"
Jupiter's eyes narrowed, realization dawning. "He was hiding in plain sight. The Kanto League's greatest headache… was one of their own."
Their voices trembled with disbelief.
For the first time, the full scope of Team Rocket's cunning revealed itself before their eyes.
---
Jimo looked on, the corner of his mouth curling into a cruel smile.
"You seem shocked," he said softly. "But that was only the first revelation. The second one… is far more interesting."
"Second… revelation?" Saturn asked, his voice hollow.
And then, the realization hit him like a hammer. His eyes went wide.
"You mean… Team Rocket intends to challenge the **Kanto League**?!"
---
The words made the very air grow colder.
Kanto was not just any region—it was the birthplace of the Pokémon League. Its capital, Indigo Plateau, was the League's global headquarters.
Kanto commanded vast lands, immense resources, and unrivaled prestige.
It was the heart of the Pokémon world.
And Jimo was saying that Team Rocket, already the most feared syndicate alive, was preparing to strike directly at it.
The thought made Saturn's blood run cold.
---
"Is… is that even possible?"
It was true that villainous groups often opposed the League—but only from the shadows.
None of them had the strength to challenge the League openly. Not Aqua. Not Magma. Not even Galactic.
That was why Jimo's words felt so impossible.
---
But Jimo's expression remained calm, almost bored.
"Of course it's possible," he replied.
"Whether in strength or organization, Team Rocket is far greater than you."
His eyes gleamed coldly.
"Unlike Team Galactic, wasting time on childish fantasies of creating a new world… Rocket's ambitions are real. And their power is real."
