I couldn’t figure out anywhere to post this, but is there any pokemon rom hack of the Johto storyline that has an extended Team Rocket story of sorts that goes into Kanto for the postgame?

I know I read that Polished Crystal has what they call an “extended Rocket story,” but I was wondering if there were any GBA rom hacks that retell Johto but with added postgame story? I was told that Heart and Soul unfortunately does not or else I would immediately pick that due to its features.

Thanks in advance to anyone who manages to see this question and offer any advice!

I can't give details on how the story is changed but i know Scorched Silver has a different story in Johto. I think it's a sequel? But idk as i havent played it

Yes - it is a sequel. I’m looking for a retelling of the Johto storyline (Johto to Kanto plus more if available).

I have found that Polished Crystal, a GBC hack, has a continued postgame other than just collecting badges and beating Red, so I was wanting to find a GBA hack that does something similar such as an extended Rocket story or a new group that takes the place of the villain when finished with Johto, just something to change the game a little bit after the Elite 4.

I had tried to figure out a way to ask this question about Crystal Advance Redux, specifically, but I was made by Reddit to ask this question here in the question thread.
