Headcanons for odd jobs the Pokemon Team Leaders did before they were team leaders? I love your idea of Maxie being a stripper XD !
Giovonii: (GASP MY MOB HUSBAND) Since Rocket is basically the MOB, I can imagine it was passed down to him from his dad because that's how it's usually done-so imagine a 13 year old Gio taking a hit out on someone.
Cyrus: Probably an Astronamer-I always sorta thought of him with a telescope and maps of the stars all over his room. His dad owned a clock shop he worked on at times and inheirted after he died (HE SET IT ON FIRE AND WENT ON TO BECOME LEADER OF TEAM GALACTIC) (TIME AND SPACE)
Ghetisis: Probably something religous, a Priest of some sort. with PETA motives. PETA PRIEST. (I AM NOT THAT BIG A FAN OF GHETISIS, HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE A DAD.)
Lysandere:UHMN. HUMN. I always thought of Lysandere being rich and well off-but at the same time....MALE MODEL. Intellgent Male Model. Who surprised everyone in his classes in highschool and in collage because he was very VERY PRETTY and NOT DUMB.
