Giovanni - Pokemon Generations (2016)

The father of Silver and the leader of the criminal organisation Team Rocket, Giovanni was a criminal mastermind and Pokemon trainer, who used the Viridian Gym as a front for him to capture and abuse Pokemon.

However he was defeated in battle and made a retreat before Looker and members of the International Police could arrest him for his crimes. He had been monitored by officials and was reported to have been using the Celedon City Game Corner as a source of income, while attacking the Silph Company in Saffron City for the Master Ball they were developing. However by the time they tracked him down and stormed the gym, he was gone. Due to his charisma and leadership skills, Team Rocket remained loyal to their leader, however were unaware of where he was or what he had been planning to do after.

Having been tipped off that the police would be on to him - who had found out from unknown sources that he was the Viridian City Gym Leader - Giovanni decided he would make his escape.

Just as he was leaving Viridian City, Silver confronted Giovanni over why he was leaving, calling out his actions as being cowardly. He calmly replied to his son that the strength to move on is something you gain when you admit defeat and learn to overcome it. Stating that he was going to build a "stronger organisation" he concluded that he needed to distance himself from everybody - including his family. He went on to defend his decision, adding the power of all organisations is gathering the right kind of people that can work well together in unison. However Giovanni angrily reprimands himself for his failure to utilise Team Rocket to the best of his abilities. Vowing to revive Team Rocket to rule the criminal underworld he prepared to leave.

Seeing Silver get emotional, Giovanni told him that he will understand his actions when he grows up. But Silver replies that he wanted to be nothing like his father, snapping that he was weak and needed people to prop him up because he could not beat anyone on his own. Watching his son run off, Giovanni stood silently for a moment, contemplating his decision and the way in which he had parted with his family.

Standing on the hills overlooking the city, he declared that despite the set backs he had faced in Kanto, Team Rocket would never fall, expressing the organisation's belief that all Pokemon are there solely for profit and disposal of Team Rocket. Putting his hat on, he turned his back on his son and his city and walked off.


"The Legacy"

Three years after his defeat at the hands of Red and Blue, Giovanni was still biding his time and plotting the return of Team Rocket. Despite this however, loyalist members of the fractured Team Rocket Johto branch attempted to contact him with a live public broadcast at the Goldenrod Radio studio, calling for him to return and lead them back to glory. He did not show up at the siege of the station and the operation ended with failure.

Titan Anti-Venom (Batman: Arkham Asylum)

A chemical compound extracted from a rare species of plant mould growing in the sewer systems of Arkham Island, the Titan Anti-Venom was developed by Batman to stop Poison Ivy's plants from taking over Arkham (as well as neighbouring Gotham as her plants reached the river). 

'Batman: Arkham Asylum'

 Using various computer programmes within his temporary Batcave, Batman manufactured a single vial of the cure, running tests to see whether the formula would inverse the effects of the Titan chemical. He also set the computer to reverse engineer the compound, however was unable to produce any more after Poison Ivy's plants destroyed most of the Batcave, as well as the Batcomputer – cancelling the programme with 6% left.

Having been infected by the Titan disease (intended for Commissioner Gordon), Batman decided he would cure himself rather than let himself succumb to its effects, planning to find a different way to defeat the Joker, also on Titan. Joker laughed at his actions, observing that he found it funny, however still added that he would kill Batman for ruining his plans.

Poison Ivy's Plant Spores (Batman: Arkham Asylum)

Special spores created by Poison Ivy to use in her one woman war against mankind, these spores were lethal to humans in large dosages, while only small dosages could cause a great deal of pain.

'Batman: Arkham Asylum'

A year before the Joker's riot on Arkham Asylum, Poison Ivy used spores against Gotham City, however was defeated by Batman. He remembered that the spores had been deadly, killing an unspecified number.

On the night of her exposure to the Titan formula, Ivy was able to accelerate the growth of similar spores and weaponised them into plant pods, using them to take over Arkham Island for herself. These spores were responsible for killing many of the prisoners roaming around the island, forcing Batman to destroy the plants and ensure the island could fully operate once the Joker, Ivy and the other inmates had been taken back into custody.

Poison Ivy's Plant Pods (Batman Arkham Asylum)

 A product of Poison Ivy's increased control over plant life (due to her being infected by three dosages of the Titan strain), the pods grew all over the surface of Arkham Island, as well as in its network of tunnels underground.

'Batman: Arkham Asylum'

They had mutated to the point that they could detect movement from people and produce powerful spores that could severely hurt human life, in some cases killing them if they had enough direct exposure. These spores had been used by Poison Ivy the year before in a failed attack on Gotham City.

These plants had a direct link to Ivy and were powered and sustained by her. Over the course of the evening she was weakened and endured by Batman's assaults on the plant, only further strengthening her hatred for him.

Over the course of the night and morning of Joker's prison riot, Batman managed to destroy the pods and prevent from them from impeding the recovery of the Asylum once the Joker and the other prisoners were contained.

The First Plant Pod (Batman: Arkham Asylum)

One of Poison Ivy's mutated plant pods, these plants released deadly spores into the atmosphere that could sense movement and lock onto targets, firing with enough force and a quick acting toxin that could kill upon impact with a human.

It was the first of these plants that Batman had ever come across during his attempt to locate the anti-titan plant spores beneath Arkham and stop Joker from producing enough Titan to create his desired army of monsters. 

'Batman: Arkham Asylum' 

The original plant pod that Batman spotted upon leaving the Botanical Garden, the Dark Knight observed the effect that Titan had on Poison Ivy's control over the biological and molecular structure of plants, noting that these plants had mutated to protect themselves from harm.

When the plant was touched by one of the more unstable inmates of the Asylum, the pod released three concentrated spores that killed him upon impact with his body. Batman mused that the plant spores were similar to the ones used by Poison Ivy the previous year in an attack on Gotham City.

Ensuring that he moved slowly enough not to trigger the plant to sense him coming, Batman destroyed the pod, tearing it open and scattering the digestive enzymes everywhere.

Anti-Titan Plant Spores - Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)

A natural plant that grows in the old cave systems beneath Arkham Island, the mould that was produced within these saplings were capable of reversing all effects that the Titan strain had on a human host, as well as curing them from any negative impact the chemical would have on them.

"Batman: Arkham Asylum"

After confronting Poison Ivy about a cure for the Titan formula, Ivy admitted to Batman (under the influence of blackmail) that there was a plant that had been growing deep beneath Arkham Island that's spores could be used to reverse the effects of the formula. Upon further pushing he discovered that it was thriving in a network of abandoned sewer tunnels that had come to become Killer Croc's lair.

Reaching the mouth of the lair, Batman set up a scanner and sonar beacon on a nearby water pipe, tuning it to detect trace elements of the spores and lead him directly to them. Tracking them down through the labyrinth (at various distances from the entrance), Batman harvested five individual samples, each time gathering more and

more of the anti-venom mould needed for full synthesises of an antidote.

Completing the task, Batman escaped from the Lair and returned to the Batcave, setting up the Batcomputer to create an compound to counter the effect of the Titan strain. However the process was more complicated than he had anticipated it to be, commenting to Oracle that the mould he had collected did not produce much. He goes on to tell her that the spores will definitely stop Poison Ivy, commanding the Batcomputer to run further tests to determine whether it was possible to reverse the effects of the Titan. Setting up a programme to create more of the antidote, Batman had just finished the first batch when Ivy's vines destroy the temporary Batcave. Her destruction of the cave ensured only one sample of the anti-venom could be manufactured, with Batman 94% certain that the compound will actually work.

Matt - Pokemon Generations (2016)

An admin and high ranking member of Team Aqua, Matt was loyal to their leader Archie and the group's goal of increasing the oceans of the world and destroy all human life on Earth, believing that humanity is responsible for so much evil and disorder and ruining the world of Pokemon. He aided Archie and Shelly in their preparations for awakening Kyogre.

'The Cavern'

Acting as a lookout on the cliffs of Mosdeep, Matt and the other Grunts watched in horror as Primal Kyogre burst out of the oceans, creating hurricane force gales and tidal waves across large areas of the Hohen Region. Contacting Archie as a flock of panicked Wingul hurtled past, he expressed his belief that the world the world will be sunk into the ocean with no Pokemon or humans left alive.
