What if he's instead a retired yakuza trying to set things straight and put efforts into trying to fix everything his organization fucked up. He's been abandoned by everyone who respected him including his wife Arianna and son because "he mellowed and became a wimp" and lives by himself a modest life (because he has used up almost all of the money he had left for charity) in Sevii islands.
His wife and Silver are still operating what was left of Rocket and making a mess in Kanto and Johto, and he's working closely with Looker to stop them. He still loves his ex-wife and child and it pains him to have to face them like this. His Nidoking and Nidoqueen tattoo represents them.
It later turns out that Neo Rocket had basically bought the Elite Four (or at least just Lance idk) complicating everything, and are trying to find and recapture Mewtwo.
That's not beach gear, it's a jinbei bottom with wooden sandals.
