History:
Giovanni was born in the Viridian Forest, like certain individuals, though he is not seen to possess any unique abilities.
When he gained the title of the eighth Gym Leader in Kanto, Giovanni was given the nickname "Giovanni of the Land" due to his specialty in using Ground-type Pokémon, with exceptions of his Beedrill.
In his youth, Giovanni wrote a book on the research of Ground-type Pokémon called Mysteries of the Earth that is currently in Blue's possession. The book contains detailed information on Ground-type Pokémon not known by anyone else.
The history of the rest of Giovanni's past is so obscured, that not even the greatest spies could of found it. He had made it clear he liked to keep his history to himself and away from others, but a few truths remained clear. Fact one is that, despite his choice of pokemon mostly being Earth, his first Pokémon was the Beedrill and holds it in high significance in his heart. The other truth was that Viridian City was his town.... and he won't let anyone take it from him.... or at least keep it.
Later on down his career, Giovanni had created a organization to try and achieve higher evolutions, but also to try and create legendaries to be used by them. What his motives for creating Team Rocket are, no one knows except for him and he would never tell anyone, even his most loyal members. He did do a lot of traveling though, meeting many trainers while disguised as a researcher. A few of these trainers were Red, Blue, Green, and even his own son, Silver. After a fight with the being Deoxys though, he had to go off the radar to heal, but did return when a fake Giovanni returned. He returned to his gym to be gym leader, but also to keep running Team Rocket.
Giovanni's reign however did not last in Viridian. After the town had been transported to this new land, he could see the people in fear to where he simply laid his hand out of his grunts being protectors of the town, the 'Viridian Rangers' as he called them. Simply put, he did this so they could keep up their appearance as protectors, but also to o out and hunt for anything that they could use.
During a regular day, his gym and city came under the assault of London forces and from two trainers who assaulted his place of stay. Only problem was, they weren't the only ones when some woman named Skie came in and tried to grab him. Luckily his Rhydon had grabbed him and escaped with him and a few grunts. As it stands, he now lives with the Grunts underground, underneath Viridian City, but many of the grunts avoid him.... simply because he was in a rather bad move from what had happened.
Personality: Despite seeming like a nice and normal man, Giovanni is in fact quite ruthless and cruel, subjecting innocent Pokémon to experiments, mainly seeing Pokémon as nothing more then weapons, even so far as to command his own Pokémon to kill other Pokémon. Despite this though, he is a charismatic man, mainly to his subordinates to keep them loyal to the end.
He also does have a caring and humane side, shown when he caprtured Deoxys to try and find his son Silver, simply to reconnect with him before his life ended.
Friends/Family: Silver - Son
RP Sample: He seethed in his seat, behind his small desk as the dripping pipe simply drove him to slight irritation, simply because it added on to his already large stack of problems. First problem was him losing his town and gym to some kids and armed forces. Second problem was their backup base was a damn sewer system. Final problem was his forces were small and he was close to just letting his Rhydon collapsing the entire place, just out of rage. He had to digress though, he needed to relax and think. He needed to wait for the right time to come back and retake his town, his gym.... slowly it would happen, but for now they needed a leader, not a angry boss.
Anything else you'd like to add: Giovanni has a lot of Pokémon from the Manga, so I just chose the six I liked the most. Also I simply chose moves that his Pokémon would use alongside the moves that they already know from the series. If changes are need, do tell.
For example, the reason the Nidoking is level 58 is because one of its known moves is Megahorn, a move it learns at level 58. All moves are used from the Gen VI chart
