Nope--it is an older Pokemon.

Presenting my main project,

"The Viridian Saga",
A 'verse focusing on Silver, Green, Giovanni, Rocket, and exploring the various what-if scenarios MANGA canon left to linger.

Pre-canon (tales that serve as background notes, histories, and are more or less universal for all branches):

Aquisition
(set pre-Manga to Silver's abduction: Daisy Oak had, at best, a rocky relationship with her father Professor Oak. Oak's neglagence and Daisy's recklessness (and one hell of a misadventure during her journey) had lead her to be swept under Giovanni's wing. She has to call in a slew of old favors with the Viridian Gym Leader when Oak's negligence strikes again, endangering a baby brother she didn't know she even had. Or, how Daisy adopts and raises Blue Oak, and becomes Godparent to Silver Sakaki in the bargin.)

Villian-tines OLD VERSION
(varied stories exploring Giovanni's past, his relationship with Silver's mother, and general pre-Manga scehnanigans)

A fix (new version)
Giovanni's childhood to adulthood, as a college student, Giovanni learns that even higher education is not a sanctuary. There was no way out of Rocket; the faster Giovanni accepted it, the better. (CW: discussion of sexual adults and preying on minors)

Illustrated (new version)
Post marriage to Grace, a pursuit of hobbies, sensuality, and art, Sakaki style.

A Book (new version)
Post marriage to Grace, digging through some old relics in his mother's property leads to Giovanni unearthing a nasty secret of the Sakaki line (CW: death of a child, abuse of a disabled child)

The split

Branch 1:
The Roost Series
(a more canonical loyal AU where Silver and Green try to retire from canon's madness, things don't go according to plan, and after Silver leaves Green's family to figure things out, Giovanni comes knocking on Green's door with questions about his son's whereabouts, and the Mask of Ice)

She sells sea shells, a Roost prequel
Set post SoulSilver/Heartgold MANGA, Green had managed to get home after the madness of Illex forest. Fitting in, figuring alien concepts like "safe" and "home" after the insanity of canon was an uphill battle. But Green was going to give it a shot.

Roost
set post soulsilver/heartgold MANGA, Silver was long gone, Green was holding onto her home life in Sevii by the tips of her fingers. Giovanni dropping in was the first blow to the normalcy of Greens post-adventures life, his continued prying and hunt for his son, Silver, would be the barrage that would bring Greens "happily ever after" falling down around her ears.

Branch 2:
Transversal Series
(canon, what's canon? An AU focusing on malovent Legends and divine retribution)

Transversal Headcanons and Oneshots
(ranges from post chapter 9 Transversal, to pre-Manga, a quixotic collection detailing Gio's history and events that tie directly to the madness that the Legends are putting him through)

Transversal Crossing on the Back of Legends
(BASE STORY.
When seeking healing from his curse/cancer, Giovanni manages to incur the wrath of Celebie, who, while being a healer, is not kind. And a Legends definition of mercy is as alien as their grasp of morality...Rocket Boss, meet the consequences of messing with Legendary 'mon with no scruples, bearing a pile of grievances, a grudge, and unlimited power to debasetheir foes.

Set after chapter 9 of Transversal

Rules of the Game
A series of one shots exploring 'mon madness and an AU Alola that Giovanni is having to navigate.

body of proof
How did Alolian native Lillie Either join forces with de-aged and mildly delusional Giovanni Sakaki? That's another tale, this one focus' on how they manage to make things work without killing each other in the process.

Still not right--here is the entry again, with the version:

If it uses its abilities, it emits special alpha waves that cause machines to malfunction. (Silver/SS)

Seriously kanto had two families of psychic, and one's notorious for dream eatting/creeper vibes...

That narrows the field down to three 'mon.

So I'm going to guess... kadabra?
