Gideon: Difference between revisions

Gideon (Japanese: スミオ Sumio) is a Team Rocket scientist working for Team Rocket's Sevii Islands branch in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

The first possible sighting of Gideon happens if the player attempts to enter the Dotted Hole prior to defeating the Team Rocket Grunts in the Icefall Cave. Gideon will be seen blocking the entrance, pondering how to get in.

After the player arrives in the chamber of the Dotted Hole that contains the Sapphire, and attempts to get it, Gideon falls through the hole of the floor above, and grabs the Sapphire. Before he leaves, he tells the player the second password to the Rocket Warehouse in Five Isle Meadow. Infiltrating the said warehouse is the only way to get it back and thus making it possible to trade with the Generation III Hoenn-based games. After battling through a pair of Team Rocket admins, the player must battle Gideon, who was trying to sell the Sapphire over the Internet. After defeating Gideon, he angrily hands over the Sapphire. Gideon remains in the warehouse forever, even after Team Rocket has abandoned it, presumably thinking of another get-rich-quick scheme or else doing research of some sort.

Notably, once the player leaves the warehouse and returns, Gideon comments to the player that Giovanni has a child with red hair, which has caused many to believe that Silver is Giovanni's son, which eventually became revealed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions.
