Giovanni looked at the three entering the room as he said, "You really were an extraordinary generation."

Although the words were very kind, Giovanni's expression and tone were neutral and almost indifferent.

Alex, Marco, and Janine greeted and thanked Giovanni at the same time.

Giovanni looked at the three with a calm expression, as he said, "It's time to find out which of the three is best suited to take over the Hoenn region."

He said that in a tone like owning the whole Hoenn region is a foolproof thing and shouldn't be a problem for the winner.

Alex knew that wasn't the case. Team rocket will only provide financial support or let maybe a small number of team rocket members switch. This help is not bad but insufficient to control an entire region at least in the beginning years.

Giovanni continued, "You should have read all the rules and I trust that you are all smart enough not to fool around during this test."

Alex received a piece of paper on rules from Giovanni several months ago.

It was just one piece of paper and only half was filled out.

most of the rules are relatively standard.

----

1. Do not kill any participant (Team leader or his subordinate) or Pokemon of a participant.

2. Do not steal items or Pokemon from other participants.

3. Torture of any kind is forbidden.

4....

----

But it also had some interesting rules.

----

7. Once the test has started, any competitor must not receive or receive assistance from non-competitors.

8. If all Pokemon have been defeated by a team leader or the team leader has been caught, he is automatically eliminated from the test and is not allowed to intervene in this test anymore.

----

Usually, this is completely unaccountable, and easy to find loopholes with so little text in a rulebook.

However, Giovanni added an interesting rule to this rulebook.

15. Giovanni has the right to decide how to deal with any questionable rule decision or use of rule loopholes.

This set of rules showed Alex again how clever Giovanni is. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

Giovanni didn't bother too much with the rules and just gave himself the power to punish every participant without really having to find a reason.

Especially the words "questionable rule decision" are completely inaccurate and could allow Giovanni to punish every participant for complete nonsense.

For example, Giovanni might say that if one competitor "insults" another competitor, that counts as breaking Rule 3.

This is one of the many options Giovanni can use if he wants to.

But what Alex thought was the smartest thing about Giovanni's rulebook is that Giovanni doesn't write down what the penalties are for each rule-breaking.

If the participants do not know what the penalties for each rule are, they will be particularly careful not to break even one rule.

This rulebook It's completely unfair to Alex and the other participants but no one said anything to Giovanni when they got this rulebook a few months ago

That was a power play and Giovanni is now reminding the contestants of the rule book again.

Alex does not take offense at these words from Giovanni. He didn't even think Giovanni was doing anything wrong and he even had more respect for Giovanni doing something like that.

He probably wouldn't do it any other way in Giovanni's position. So why should he be mad about it?

Marco and Janine also showed a calm expressions. It wasn't clear if they were offended by Giovanni's words or not.

Giovanni said with a relaxed expression, "The winner of this test can win this test in two different ways. 1, The winner defeats the other two team leaders under rule 8. Or 2, the winner completes his mission task first."

The three got a little confused when they heard "missions task". Nobody knew what that meant.

Giovanni continued, "The test will take place on an island completely occupied by Team Rocket."

He showed a small smile as he said, "This island has above-average Pokemon with better potential than most places. Team Rocket is making quite a bit of money from this island."

Alex had a neutral expression but was confused on the inside. ' Why is he saying that to us? ...why was he smiling when he said that? ... I can't think of anything right now but there must be a reason.'

Giovannie looked at three again as he said, "Tomorrow, as soon as the sun comes up, the test will start. Any participant who is not on the island at this time is disqualified. Also, each of you will get your mission task on the island."

After saying that he took out 3 letters and put them on the front of his desk. The three letters pointed in the direction of the three participants.

"Take it"

Alex, Marco, and Janine went closer to Giovanni and each took a letter from the table.

Persian looked at the three with a lazy expression but even with that lazy expression, he was a destructive monster in Alex's eyes.

A Champion-level Pokemon had a completely different presence than an Elite-level Pokemon, and one experienced trainer can tell at a glance if a Pokemon is a Champion-level Pokemon. Although a trainer still can't say exactly the level of this Champion-level Pokemon.

Giovanni gave the three of them a slight smile as he said, "I wish you three the best of luck."

All three understood that they should now leave the room. That was just Giovanni's friendly way of telling them to get out of his room.

Alex, Marco, and Janine said goodbye to Giovanni with serious expressions, as they left the room. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝐦
