00:00You there, hold on a second.
00:28What do you want?
00:29International police, are you the son of the Team Rocket boss, Geo-
00:34Stop, leave me out of it.
00:36There was an incident in Goldenrod City, caused by the remnants of Team Rocket, when they took over the radio tower.
00:43Don't make any sudden moves!
00:59This is a very important message to everybody in Johto.
01:09We are Team Rocket, and after three years of lying in wait, we are announcing our return today.
01:14Boss, Giovanni, if you are hearing this broadcast right now, please come join us!
01:22But in the end, Giovanni never made an appearance.
01:26They may have shot up a beacon of their return, but their little revival went up in smoke whence their charismatic leader, an overall unifying force, failed to show up.
01:35It's been three long years since Giovanni disappeared. He completely vanished. But we haven't stopped looking for him. He's still out there somewhere, and he's plotting his return. That's why I want you to tell me everything that you know.
01:50Heh. The International Police seem to have a lot of time on their hands.
01:54Well, that's just part of the job.
02:00The last time I saw him was three years ago.
02:04Three years ago?
02:06Yeah. It was right after the old man had finally returned to the Viridian Gym after a long time away, and he lost badly to two of the trainers.
02:18Father!
02:20Father!
02:25You're leaving? You're running away because you lost to a couple of trainers?
02:29What changed? You said you were the strongest in the whole wide world!
02:34You can't move forward if you're unable to accept defeat.
02:37In order to create a stronger organization, I need to be alone now.
02:41So what if you're strong?
02:43You can gather as many people as you want, but you can still lose to a lone kid!
02:46Gathering a large group of people to work together will create a great source of strength. That's the power of organizations.
02:52However, I failed to utilize my men to their fullest potential. One day, I promise, I will revive Team Rocket!
03:00I don't get it! I don't understand what you're saying at all!
03:06One day, you'll understand.
03:07I don't want to understand! I'm not going to be anything like you! Acting all high and mighty just because you've gathered up a bunch of followers, even though you're weak on your own!
03:15I'm never gonna be like that! I'm gonna be strong all on my own!
03:22That was the last time I saw my old man.
03:24Since then, I've made it here on my own. Doing things my way. Together with my Pokemon.
03:41So you're about to challenge the Pokemon League. If you find out anything about your father, would you give me a call?
03:56I don't know. I've made the choice to stay out of my old man's affairs. Likely, he's doing the same thing. Besides, it's your job to find him.
04:08No!
