Flashback – The Choosing of the Three Commanders
In the golden age of the Immortals, their divine leader, Godrex, prepared to select three families to lead his army.
The Ketchum Family (Warriors) – Chosen for their unstoppable battle instincts.
The Yavoe Family (Defenders) – Chosen for their unbreakable will to protect.
The Final Commander? – The choice was between two families:
The Oak Family (Strategists)
The Giovanni Family (Tacticians)
Godrex stood before both families, deep in thought.
He admired both for their loyalty, skill, and dedication.
Then—
Gray's father (from the Oak Family) smirked at Giovanni.
Gray's Father (mocking): "Giovanni, you already know who Godrex will choose… It's obviously the Oak Family. The Giovanni Family will be forgotten."
The words were meant as a joke.
A simple tease.
But Giovanni didn't laugh.
He stood there, silent.
His fist clenched.
Memories of countless battles, victories, and sacrifices for Godrex flooded his mind.
Had it all been for nothing?
Did Godrex never see his family as worthy?
That night, Giovanni sat alone, staring at the stars.
A single thought consumed him.
Giovanni (thinking): "I refuse to be cast aside like this."

The Betrayal – Giovanni's Attack on Godrex
The next day, before Godrex could announce his final decision, Giovanni acted.
With his sword drawn, he charged toward Godrex.
The divine leader's eyes widened in shock.
Godrex: "Giovanni… what are you doing?"
But Giovanni didn't stop.
He attacked the one he had sworn to protect.
A clash of steel and divine power shook the heavens.
Even though he knew he couldn't win, Giovanni fought with all his might.
Until—
Gray's father stepped in.
Gray's Father: "I'll handle him."
A fierce battle broke out.
But Giovanni was defeated.
He lay on the ground, bleeding, gasping for air.
Godrex looked down at him, disappointed.
Godrex: "You, the one I trusted most… You have betrayed me."
With a heavy heart, Godrex used his divine power to banish Giovanni from the planet.

The Consequences – A Punishment for All
After Giovanni was exiled, Godrex finally made his decision.
Godrex: "The Oak Family shall be the final commanders."
Gray's father smiled, victorious.
But then—
Godrex's gaze darkened.
Godrex: "However… Gray's father, you shall not be the commander."
Everyone froze.
Gray's Father (shocked): "W-What? Why? I won!"
Godrex's voice was filled with anger.
Godrex: "Because it was your words that poisoned Giovanni's mind."
As punishment, Godrex chose Gray's grandfather as the Oak Family's leader instead.
Gray's father was shamed, forced to live under his own father's shadow.
Meanwhile, far away in exile, Giovanni's rage grew.
Giovanni: "The Oak Family… I will make them suffer."
He soon joined Team Ultra, vowing to wipe out the Immortals and take his revenge.

Back to the Present – The Battlefield
The flashback ends.
Giovanni, now in his Dark Devil Form, stood before everyone.
His wings spread wide.
His tail lashed with power.
His eyes burned with hatred.
He had finally returned to finish what he started.

Giovanni Reveals the Truth
Giovanni (smirking): "Now you know…
Your ancestors played a dirty trick on me. Your family destroyed mine."
Everyone stood in silence.
L's golden eyes dimmed.
For the first time, he looked at Gray's father with disappointment.
L (coldly): "A joke turned into a war. A foolish mistake cost countless lives."
Gray clenched his fists, ashamed.
Gray: "I… I never knew…"
He turned to his grandfather, the Oak Family commander.
Gray: "Is this true?"
His grandfather nodded, unable to deny it.
Gray felt disgusted.
Everything he had believed in—his family's honor, their leadership—was built on a lie.

Giovanni's Revenge Begins
Giovanni (laughing): "But none of that matters anymore."
His aura erupted like a black sun.
Giovanni: "Now, I will erase the last members of the Oak Family!"
He raised his hand.
A massive sphere of dark energy formed above him.
Lisa, Bolt, Brock, Lyra, and Misty all got into battle stance.
Lisa (serious): "We won't let you!"
Giovanni smirked.
Giovanni: "Fools."
He swung his hand down—
And the attack was unleashed.

L vs. Giovanni – The True God Steps Forward
Before the attack could hit—
BOOM!
A golden light flashed.
The energy sphere vanished.
Everyone looked up.
L stood in front of Gray, Lisa, and the others.
His golden-red aura flared.
His eyes glowed with divine fury.
L (coldly): "You want to erase them? You'll have to go through me."
Giovanni smiled.
Giovanni: "I was hoping you'd say that."
The real battle was about to begin.
