>>53362839When you think about it, no region has a chance against Kanto in a war huh? Thanks to Team Rocket, Kanto is the only region with a standing army in the form of an army of grunts who follow a clear chain of command with very skilled executives up top. Not only that, due to their criminal nature, they have a large number of agents skilled in special operations and subterfuge- good luck spying on Kanto with your inexperienced agents when even the underworld is on their side, and good luck dealing with Kanto's own spies when they're so adept at manipulating the underworld undetected.
Giovanni is unironically a hero to Kanto and none of them know it.
