Pokémon: The Hoenn Gods as Starters Chapter 38: The Champion — A Promise with Harrison

After ga Evolution, Sceptile's strength skyrocketed.

Its level jumped from 40 to 45, and its typing shifted from pure Grass to Grass / Dragon.

Its Ability changed from Overgrow to Lightning Rod, rendering Electric-type attacks useless against it—worse, they would only increase its Special Attack.

Even though the level increase was only five, the true boost was far greater.

ga Evolution wasn't just numbers—it was a complete transformation of battle potential.

What surprised Aiden Flint the most was that ga Evolution had pushed Sceptile's potential into Red-tier.

Did every ga Evolution raise potential?

Or was this a rare phenonon?

He didn't know yet.

But he would find out once Milotic and Pidgeot ga Evolved.

Right now, what mattered was the battlefield.

"ga Sceptile," Aiden said calmly,

"Leaf Storm."

Amado and Hun were practically trembling with excitent.

"If we capture that Sceptile and give it to Boss Giovanni, we'll rise straight to the top!"

"Executive positions! Board mbers! Our future is bright!"

Drunk on their own greed, they ordered their Pokémon forward.

"Houndoom! Granbull! Attack!"

"Hitmontop! Mightyena! Low Sweep and Crunch!"

But against ga Sceptile…

They were nothing.

A violent tornado of razor-sharp leaves erupted, forming a massive green vortex that swallowed all four Pokémon at once.

Even Houndoom couldn't escape.

For thirty full seconds, their Pokémon were shredded by Leaf Storm.

When the attack finally ended, all four crashed to the ground—bleeding, broken, and completely defeated.

"Ding! Sceptile defeated Houndoom, Granbull, Hitmontop, and Mightyena."

"Experience gained: 1,536. Level increased. Current Level: 42."

"Ding! Milotic and Pidgeot gained experience. Both are now Level 42."

Aiden's original three partners—

Sceptile, Milotic, and Pidgeot—

Had now reached the sa tier of power.

Amado and Hun stared in disbelief.

"This… this isn't possible!"

But their underlings were already being overwheld by dozens of Trainers and Verdanturf security forces.

Team Rocket had lost.

Before fleeing, Amado glared at Aiden.

"Rember this, brat! That Sceptile is ours next ti!"

Smog filled the air—

But Aiden was ready.

"Pidgeot—Hurricane!"

"ga Sceptile—go in and take them down!"

"Milotic—Hydro Pump all Team Rocket mbers!"

In seconds, ga Sceptile charged through the smoke and knocked Amado and Hun unconscious.

Team Rocket was finished.

When Officer Jenny arrived, eighty-seven Team Rocket mbers were arrested.

Verdanturf Town erupted in celebration.

In the final results of the capture contest—

Aiden Flint took first place.

Harrison took second.

Aiden received a full Evolution Stone set and 1,000,000 Poké Dollars.

Harrison stepped forward, smiling.

"You're entering the Ever Grande Conference this year, right?"

Aiden looked at Harrison's Level 52 Blaziken.

Then smiled.

"Of course. See you there."

The Hoenn League—

Had just gained a true rival.
