The Mewtwo that Giovanni poured billions into creating had been defeated by Deoxys, a Pokémon Luo Yuan had "casually" captured on a work trip to the Sevii Islands.
Giovanni's feelings were... complicated.
Though he knew Mewtwo's defeat was largely due to its recent creation, which meant it hadn't yet fully mastered its powers, this battle also made him realize something else: even if Mewtwo had enough time to completely hone its abilities, the outcome of a fight against Deoxys would still be uncertain.
Still, Giovanni quickly composed himself and looked up at Luo Yuan.
Just as Luo Yuan had expected, Giovanni wasn't overly bitter about being beaten. Other than a slight sting to his pride, he had no further objections.
Luo Yuan knew Giovanni quite well, and Giovanni, in turn, knew Luo Yuan.
He was aware that Luo Yuan might have a habit of charging odd expenses to the Rocket Team's "event budget," claiming it was all in the name of "serving the organization." But Giovanni never doubted Luo Yuan's loyalty or sense of belonging to Team Rocket.
Giovanni also understood that Luo Yuan despised trouble and preferred to steer clear of any management responsibilities.
That's why he trusted Luo Yuan far more than the Beast Trio or the Four Generals.
