Team Rocket

Team Rocket is an international crime syndicate, much like in the regular Pokemon games. However, this rendition is much darker than the original group. Instead of fighting Pokemon battles, they often use guns to fight and they even kill one of Rusty's Bidoofs. Rusty fights them on several occasions. They seem to fear Red.

Members

 * Rusty: After failing to infiltrate the group, the grunts realize that Rusty raised Pikachu, whom they called "the most hate-filled Pokemon" they had ever seen. The grunts then happily excepting them into the group. However, after Red attacks him, Pikachu and another Team Rocket grunt (killing the latter two), Rusty leaves the group.
 * Pikachu: After being kidnapped by the group, Pikachu became one of the underlings of Team Rocket. After his supposed death, Pikachu killed the leader, Giovanni, and became the new leader of Team Rocket and Viridian City's gym.
 * Giovanni: Like in the games, Giovanni was Team Rocket's leader and the leader of the Viridian City Gym.. However, Pikachu killed him and took his position.
