“Overlord” was my somewhat late entry for the “Criminal Intent” Serebii contest, where the prompt given was to write about any facet of the so-called Evil Teams, “whether it be a short ficlet about the daily life of low-ranking grunts, a large-scale heist thriller or a character study of your favorite team leader, it's all fair game so long as the story is clearly about the team”. This entry scored the 5th place tied with fellow write Umbramatic's entry – very fitting, since he was the one who convinced me to join in on the fun.

The story is basically a collection of pieces of the life of Giovanni and his Persian, focusing on the various activities of the villainous leader - be it a father, a businessman or a… well, villainous leader; however, always with the twist that the protagonist is Persian and he knows it, for he as a cat is alone fit to rule over the humans of Team Rocket, with Giovanni as his trusted partner and “translator”.

This is the third entry I write featuring a canon character.
