The first possible sighting of Gideon happens if the player attempts to enter the [[Dotted Hole]] prior to defeating the [[Team Rocket Grunt|Team Rocket grunts]] in the [[Icefall Cave]].  Gideon will be seen blocking the entrance, pondering how to get in.
'''Gideon''' (Japanese: '''スミオ''' ''Sumio'') is a [[Team Rocket scientists|scientist associated with Team Rocket]] at their [[Sevii Islands]] branch in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.


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 executives and administrators|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.
The first possible sighting of Gideon happens if the {{player}} attempts to enter the [[Dotted Hole]] prior to defeating the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the [[Icefall Cave]]. Gideon will be seen blocking the entrance, pondering how to get in.


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 {{ga|Silver}} is in fact Giovanni's son.  
After the player arrives in the chamber of the Dotted Hole that contains the {{i|Sapphire}}, and attempts to get it, Gideon falls through the hole of the floor above and grabs the Sapphire with the intent to sell it to Team Rocket. Before he leaves, he tells the player to take it back if he wants it and reveals 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 {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admins}}, the player must battle Gideon, who complains that their arrival ruined his entire deal to sell the Sapphire. After defeating Gideon, he angrily hands over the Sapphire (deeming it worthless) and remains in the warehouse, even after Team Rocket has abandoned it.
 
Notably, once the player leaves the warehouse and returns after delivering the Sapphire to [[Celio]], Gideon comments to the {{player}} that [[Giovanni]] has a child with red hair. Through further revelations in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is shown that this red-haired son is in fact the [[rival]] of the player in the [[Johto]]-based games, {{ga|Silver}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Gideon is the only in-game trainer in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} to use a {{p|Porygon}}. Only one other in-game trainer uses Porygon: Scientist Rich in [[Johto]]'s [[Johto Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.  Interestingly, Rich is also a Team Rocket scientist.
* Gideon is the only in-game Trainer in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} to use a {{p|Porygon}}.
*Gideon is the only Team Rocket scientist working in the Sevii Islands branch of Team Rocket.
** One of the items that can be found at the Rocket Warehouse, where Gideon is battled, is an [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]], which can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] Porygon into {{p|Porygon2}}.

* Gideon is the only known scientist seen in the Sevii Islands branch of Team Rocket, though his dialogue seems to indicate that he is not a proper member of Team Rocket and is simply trying to make some money by selling the Sapphire to them.
