Ghetsis was in a very bad mood right now.
He thought a fool had finally arrived who believed his lies. He did not expect the person to want to put him in prison.
This was hateful! He thought it was very cruel to give someone hope and then take it away.
And most importantly...
The person said he represented the "righteous" Team Rocket.
He thought "righteous Team Rocket" was a joke. Team Rocket was an evil group from Kanto. The Kanto League wanted to catch them at every level.
Team Rocket did many crimes. If someone was a Team Rocket executive, they would never leave prison after being caught.
Even Team Plasma was not that famous!
Ghetsis almost laughed because he was so angry, but he soon realized something.
"You're with Team Rocket?"
Ghetsis narrowed his eyes and looked at the mean boy in black.
Did Team Rocket from Kanto really travel all the way to Unova?
Ghetsis felt uncertain. This was bad news. He thought Unova belonged to him and Team Plasma.
"So, Lord, you finally realized it? I thought that after promoting that nonsense all day, your brain wouldn't be functioning normally anymore."
Damian smiled. His white teeth looked scary. He used polite titles, but he was clearly mocking Ghetsis.
"Team Rocket people... our Unova does not welcome you."
The skin on Ghetsis's face moved in a strange way. He looked very scary.
But Ghetsis stayed calm even though he was very angry. He spoke to Damian in a cold voice.
"Oh?" Damian spun the Poké Ball in his hand. He looked at Ghetsis and smiled a little.
"It seems I made a judgment too early. Your brain really isn't working normally," Damian mocked him.
"From what position do you say such things? Does Unova belong to your family? Who are you to say Unova doesn't welcome us?"
Damian asked many questions. Ghetsis started to breathe heavily. His face looked even uglier and darker.
"Young man, you are truly starting to annoy me."
Ghetsis spoke in a very low and deep voice.
No one had ever talked to him like this. People always showed Ghetsis respect.
Even the Unova League was very serious when they dealt with him.
"Tsk, losing your temper already? It looks like this is the extent of your character."
Damian made a "tsk" sound.
Ghetsis had one of the worst tempers of all the villain bosses in Pokémon.
He had big goals and a big plan.
He wanted Team Plasma to be very strong. So, he took N when N was young. He made sure N grew up exactly how he wanted.
Ghetsis succeeded. He made N the "King" of Team Plasma. N trusted him completely.
Ghetsis used Unova's Legendary Pokémon to his advantage. He made N the Hero of Ideals (or Truth).
N was very strong in the Black and White era because he had a legendary dragon. Only the main character could beat him.
Ghetsis's plan worked well for a long time. But then N lost to the main character.
At that moment, everyone saw Ghetsis's true self. They saw that he was a small-minded person.
Giovanni and Cyrus also failed, but they were calm about it. Giovanni wanted to train and become stronger to try again.
Maxie and Archie also admitted they were wrong. They apologized to the old lady at the end of the games.
But Ghetsis could not accept that he lost. He even went crazy because he lost to a child.
Ghetsis was talented. He planned things many years in advance with N.
But he was too proud and his mind was weak. That is why he failed.
Also, he liked to celebrate before he actually won. That was his big weakness.
In Black and White 2, he controlled Kyurem. He mocked N and called N a monster. This hurt N very much.
N thought of Ghetsis as a father. But Ghetsis pushed N away.
Ghetsis controlled Kyurem, but his behavior was very bad and hard to explain.
"You brat!"
Ghetsis's face looked very ugly now. He stared at Damian with hate.
"Don't use such foul language. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop myself from wanting to sew your mouth shut, Lord."
Damian smiled and held up one finger.
"I came to find you today for only one thing, actually."
Damian spoke slowly and calmly.
"Our Team Rocket is now preparing to expand in the Unova region. However, I personally cannot stand seeing other dark organizations in the region where I am."
Ghetsis's eyes became very dark.
"So, Lord, could you please have your Team Plasma merge into our Team Rocket? Or you could just disband. Or go establish yourselves in another region. I don't mind either way."
Damian smiled while he spoke. Ghetsis's face moved in a strange way again.
He could not believe it. This boy wanted Team Plasma to join Team Rocket.
"Chuckle..."
Ghetsis laughed because he was very angry. The sound was strange and tight.
"You've truly made me laugh, brat."
Ghetsis looked very dark and cold. His stare was scary.
"It has been a long time since I heard such a funny joke. What even is your Team Rocket? How dare you be so arrogant!"
Ghetsis spoke in a low, angry voice.
He was angry that Damian asked him to join Team Rocket or run away like a scared dog.
Ghetsis wanted to laugh at the idea.
"Oh?" Damian looked at him and smiled to mock him.
"This land of Unova belongs to my Team Plasma! With just a brat like you, you think you can fight Team Plasma for this land?"
Ghetsis became a little calmer. He laughed at Damian coldly.
He did not respect Team Rocket. He thought they were a weak group that hides from the League.
But he thought he and Team Plasma were different.
N already had the Dragon God of Ideals. Ghetsis thought he was the chosen one.
He believed the Unova League would lose to Team Plasma. Then Team Plasma would own the whole region.
That was Team Plasma. He thought Team Rocket had no right to fight them.
"I see. As expected of the Lord. You're quite good at daydreaming." Damian clapped his hands and acted like he was impressed.
Ghetsis became very angry again. His face turned dark.
"Good, good, good! Brat, you've successfully enraged me!"
Ghetsis took a Poké Ball from under his coat. A violent Hydreigon appeared next to him.
"Lord, you're getting desperate now, aren't you? You actually want to fight me."
"Keep talking while you can, kid. I'll let you know what true pain feels like!" Ghetsis's eyes looked very mean.
"Lord Ghetsis, we should leave. Officer Jenny will probably be here soon."
A man behind Ghetsis spoke in a low voice.
People usually reported Ghetsis when he gave speeches. So he always had to leave quickly.
It would be bad if Officer Jenny caught them.
But Damian was wasting Ghetsis's time.
"It will be over quickly. No need to rush," Ghetsis said calmly.
He wanted to teach the mocking boy a lesson even if it was risky.
He hated the boy's sarcastic tone.
He wanted to teach him a lesson because of the way he spoke.
The subordinate opened his mouth to speak but stayed quiet. Ghetsis was the boss.
"It will be over quickly? It seems the Lord is very confident in his own strength."
Damian was surprised. A Shiny Pheromosa appeared in a white light. She was tall and looked at the Hydreigon proudly.
"Against a brat like you, there won't be any problem at all," Ghetsis said.
"Oho~?" Damian said in a long voice.
Ghetsis's face moved again. But he thought he would soon see the boy look scared.
Ghetsis was stronger than the Unova Elite Four.
He did not think a boy from Team Rocket could beat him.
He was sure he would win.
And then...
Bang!
The Hydreigon roared in pain. A black figure kicked it down. It hit the ground hard and could not get up.
"How is this possible!!"
Ghetsis could not believe it. Damian liked seeing Ghetsis look shocked and sad.
His strongest Hydreigon lost very fast. This Team Rocket boy was as strong as a Champion!
Ghetsis felt very bad. He did not expect this.
The boy who mocked him was actually very strong.
This was a bad situation.
"Oh dear, oh dear. Lord, I'm so sorry. I accidentally went too hard and knocked out your Hydreigon."
Damian smiled and acted like he was embarrassed, but he was actually laughing.
Ghetsis did not know what to do. He thought about calling N for help. He was afraid the boy would keep humiliating him.
The boy was not a good person. He would probably mock Ghetsis more.
Ghetsis wanted N to save him immediately.
Then, they heard many people running toward them. Damian looked back.
Officer Jenny and other police officers arrived. A tall man with orange-red hair was with them.
It was Alder!
Damian was surprised to see Alder there.
Ghetsis had sent a secret message to N on his phone. He also saw Alder and the police.
Ghetsis had an idea. He asked Alder for help.
"Champion Alder! Please save me! This guy across from me is a member of the evil Team Rocket!"
Alder looked surprised.
Team Rocket?
