They're both the first major villains of two popular series that revolve around collecting and battling monsters. In public, they act as well-respected members of the community, with Giovanni being a Gym Leader and Pegasus being a famous game designer. But in secret, they have goals that they are willing to do terrible things to achieve. While Giovanni's goals are completely selfish and only serve to make him more powerful, Pegasus just wants to bring his dead wife back to life.

They don't have too much in terms of connections. I just thought the idea was interesting, and I didn't really have any others ideas for either of them.
