Apparently one of the pokemon comics has a plot point about Giovanni losing his childhood Nidoking and Machamp, so for the sake of this story lets say not all of his pokemon came back with him from the war.

And I know thunderstones only cost the equivalent of like 20-50 bucks in the games, but lets say that the war’s fucking up the supply lines and demand and driving up the prices of evolution stones.

Flashbacks continue with Surge talking up Gio in front of his boss.

How about an *ominous flashback* featuring 20-something Gio working part time at the Celadon department store.

I redrew Giovanni’s face like seven times in that last panel because I got sick of him just looking smug and bored all the time, and “moderately threatening toothy grin” seemed to be the only thing that worked.

For the people asking who Archer is, he’s that one blue-haired Team Rocket Admin that was in Gold/Silver and Pokemon Let’s Go

Someone said the Lt. Surge/Giovanni ship should be called “WarCrimes” and that was such a good name I had to make content for it.

pokespe be like

giovanni: i run a business based on mishandling living creatures. long term plans include world domination.

pryce: i will steal your 2 year old son and make him a faceless slave to further my plans to control time so i can bring my pokemon back from the grave

giovanni, loading a gun: NO. NO NO NO FUCK YOU. WHAT THE HELL. THERES A FUCKING LINE AND YOU JUST CROSSED IT YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU-

Prepare for trouble, gender construction! ✨
