Just How Do You Think?

Just how do you think Giovanni keeps out of trouble even after it was revealed TR has had control of his gym and even when he bailed Cassidy and Butch out of prision time and again? Perhaps he has some type of influence with the government of the pokemon world or something?

I wanted Shaymin! :(
Jessie, James, and Meowth didn't stick around to get arrested by the police, and the police would never believe Ash and his friends if they told them the secrets. Giovanni probably is the most respected gym leader in the anime, or otherwise he wouldn't be hanging around beach resorts, he's be holed up in a bivouac laying low. :D

But wouldn't a respectable man who bailed out two people who again tried to steal other people's pokemon raise a few eyebrows?

Clearly we're great!
I get the feeling that B&C were lying about being bailed out by him. He wouldn't risk his identity over something so small.

As for JJ&M controlling the gym, if anyone asked, he could have said he was tied up and unconcious somewhere.

Hes probably very respected. HE ALSO rarly doesn anything for himself. I mean, hes a coward. Except for trying to get Mewtwo, I havnt seen him do anything much but bark orders.
 
It looks like Giovanni knows what he's doing with TR and he is THE Boss. He probably thinks of what to do with certain situations before they happen. Anyway, when Gary battled him, he didn't know that Giovanni was the head of TR. I guess this means that Giovanni also knows how to secure his identity.

He's screwing Professor Oak in return for a cover up. Isn't it obvious?

Lol!! Maybe it's the other way around 0_o. Lupin: You probably are right with the bribe thing.

In the games, didn't he have those second-in-command people that barked orders under his command? I don't doubt that he has a way of securing his identity, but in the case of bailing Rocket members out of jail, he knows a method of preserving his reputation. Then again, bribing works too.

Yes. I was wondering this as well. I guess people must be really lacking of brains in the pokemon world. Do Gym Leaders have to have background checks before they become leaders, like teachers and such?
