He put Mareep in the Hot Spring before checking on the Pokemon he left here. He released the rest and went to sleep.
Ahh… The sweet smell of repetition!
2 months went by in a flash as Ace was pumping iron with Machamp like a real man!
Something to note, like all good time skips!
Ace released Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver! He was beyond asking for permission at this point and directly slapped Gold and Silver into the game. What's more was everyone's favorite villain was back!
Giovanni was a boss in the game! A hidden boss to be exact. Of course, the humiliating lines of 'I keep losing to children' were removed!
Instead, after losing, Giovanni said 'As expected by you 'Player Name', you remind me of another trainer…' before laughing, 'This won't be the ending of Team Rocket!' and then disappearing mysteriously.
Then Celebi reveals that Giovanni has a son somewhere!
For Giovanni and Silver's protection, Ace removed the obvious descriptions. Keeping everything vague. But the game also hinted at Giovanni having bigger plans!
Even Giovanni in real life was looking at the game in confusion. He has bigger plans? How come he doesn't know?
Anyway, Giovanni looked at a file with Ace's picture on it. He looked over the line near the bottom and sighed.
[Previously seen with a Noivern, Sandaconda, and Eiscue. Absent at the moment, presumed killed.]
Giovanni tossed the file on his desk, stroking his Persian while thinking. From Ace's games, Giovanni could tell that Ace didn't have any 'bad' feelings for Team Rocket. Although Giovanni didn't know why, he confirmed that whoever killed Ace's previous Pokemon wasn't Team Rocket and that was enough.
How could he know that Ace's impression of the Rockets was really great due to Giovanni and the funny trio?
At any rate, Giovanni also played the games! It was a shame that Ace couldn't see the bulging veins from frustration…
Of course, HG and SS had a Hard Mode too! This time it was even more cruel since they included Kanto as well! But stronger Pokemon means stronger Gym Leaders! By the end of the Game, the player could face Red himself.
Speaking of, all his Pokemon were lvl 100! In addition, his status as a Master was also displayed with insane difficulty and tactics that changed every time!
That's right, the AI adapted to every battle! Since they were basically a shared AI, all the experience in battles was accumulated and Red's tactics changed accordingly.
Also, Clemont's Game Shark was released and sold like Hot Cakes. But what these cute little guys didn't find out until it was too late was… The Game could tell if they were using a Game Shark!
Ace burst out laughing as he watched a Live Stream when Red looked at the player and smirked, "Game Shark? Interesting…" before revealing Pokemon at level 120 with impossible abilities!
For example; Charizard with Desolate Land, Pikachu with Simple, etc.
And as an Easter Egg, if the Player managed to put Red at one Pokemon, they started a cutscene where Red pulls the brim of his hat, saying, "You're strong, but I won't lose! Come help me, Mewtwo!"
This was soul crushing!
A lvl 120 Mewtwo with Feline Prowess!
In short, Ace let people cheat but allowed the Game to cheat as well! This was the true meaning of 'Cheating Together!' the joy and amusement from seeing one Live Streamer blowing through the Hard Mode game, looking smug to absolute despair…
Oh my~!
It was so difficult that Ace released a Statement.
[Cheating together is fun! However, seeing the difficulty of the final boss… Gamefreak is prepared to reward the first person to win the battle! Happy Battling!]
This exploded on the internet as people scrambled to beat Cheating Red, even forming forums to discuss tactics.

These 2 months of Gifts were fruitful harvests.

Currently, Ace held a sword and was sparring with Sirfetch'd. As he blocked all the sword moves, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back and rolled to the side as a flying kick flew by him!
Ace was dumbfounded, "What the hell?!" as another foot shot out like lightning! Ace threw the sword to the side and blocked with his hands quickly, jumping back as a woman revealed herself, grinning, "You've gotten better, Ace!"
Ace's face turned pale as the woman ran up to him, kicking out and wrapping her legs around his neck, flipping over and locking him up!
The Pokemon were dumbfounded!
