Red became very excited to go on his journey as seen when he ran down the stairs and then to Professor Oak's laboratory.

[[File:Red-Blue rivalry PO.png|thumb|left|Red and his rival, Blue]]
[[File:Red-Blue rivalry PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Red and his rival, Blue]]
Red first appeared in the very first episode of the series where he gets called down by [[Professor Oak]] to see him in his {{TP|Professor Oak|lab|laboratory}}. Along the way, he met Professor Oak's grandson, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who was also going there too. Both boys race to Professor Oak's lab where he greeted them and handed out their Pokédex and Poké Balls. On a table, Red got to choose between a {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and went for the first choice while Blue went for Squirtle. Red began his journey afterwards.
Red appeared in the first episode of the series, in which he was called by [[Professor Oak]] to see him in his {{TP|Professor Oak|lab|Laboratory}}. Along the way, he met up with his childhood friend and rival, Professor Oak's grandson, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who was also called there. The boys raced to Professor Oak's lab, where he greeted them and explained that he was done with his new invention, the [[Pokédex]]. He explained that his lifelong goal was to make a full encyclopedia on all of the Pokémon in Kanto, but was too old to travel and collect data. He asked them to catch all 149 Pokémon to fulfill his dream, and that whenever they caught a new Pokémon, their data would automatically be input in the Pokédex. On a table, Red was given the choice of either {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, or {{p|Bulbasaur}} as both a first partner Pokémon and a token of appreciation for willing to complete this task. He chose Charmander, and Blue went for Squirtle. Each young {{pkmn|Trainer}} then began his journey.


Outside, he encountered a {{p|Pidgey}} and was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a {{p|Rattata}} came by, Red was able to add it to his team. Red has his first battle with a {{tc|Youngster}} where he tried to catch his {{p|Nidoran♀}} but failed as they were not designed to capture a Pokémon belonging to another Trainer. The Youngster pointed to Viridian City as the location that he caught Nidoran♀. Red goes there and met up with Blue along the way who battles him. Both Trainers use their first Pokémon and Red ends up losing the battle since his Charmander forfeited by wagging its tail.
On Route 1, he encountered a {{p|Pidgey}}, but was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a {{p|Rattata}} came by, Red was able to catch it and add it to the Pokédex. Red's first Trainer battle was with a {{tc|Youngster}}, but when he tried to catch his opponent's {{p|Nidoran♀}} in a Poké Ball, it failed. The Youngster, now suspicious of Red, withdrew his Pokémon and ended the battle. The Youngster pointed to [[Viridian City]] as the location where he caught Nidoran♀, so Red decides to go there. On the way, he saw Blue and agreed to a battle. Both Trainers used their first partner Pokémon, but Red forfeited after Charmander was pinned down by Squirtle's relentless {{m|Bite}}.


After the battle, Red became depressed and noticed [[Brock]] coming by. They have a talk with each other which gave Red his confidence back. Later, he arrived in Pewter City where he went to the Pokémon Center to talk to Professor Oak first. While there, he healed up his Pokémon. Next, he went to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] and did some sightseeing. When Red was about to go to the Pewter Gym to challenge Brock, a {{tc|Lass}} and another person were standing there. As Red went inside, the two people watched them have their Gym battle with Red becoming the victor after a long battle that took most of his team.
[[Brock]] noticed the disappointed Trainer and talked to him, cheering him up. Later, Red arrived in Pewter City and went to the [[Pokémon Center]] to video-chat with Professor Oak. After healing his Pokémon, Red visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. As Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] to challenge Brock, a {{tc|Lass}} and her friend talked to him and said he had a million years ahead of him before he challenged the Gym Leader. Brock then appeared, and Red recognized him as the Trainer who had talked to him before. Trainer and Gym Leader did {{pkmn|battle}}, with Red becoming the victor after a long match that took out most of his team.


Since then, he was able to defeat [[Misty]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Red arrived in [[Lavender Town]] where he heard about some ghost sightings in [[Lavender Tower]]. Red went to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House and met [[Reina]] who was a helper there. Reina explained to Red about Team Rocket and their ways of handling Pokémon, and how a {{p|Cubone}} lost its mother to them. Hearing about Team Rocket's arrival at Lavender Tower, Red went there and was met up by Blue who heard about it too. A ghost then appeared and Red sent out his Charmeleon to deal with it. Before Red started the battle, Blue tossed him the Silph Scope in order to identify the ghost. Putting on the Silph Scope, Red noticed that it was Cubone's deceased mother. After Cubone reunited with its mother, Team Rocket appeared and Red battled their {{p|Koffing}} with his {{p|Jolteon}}. As Cubone assisted Jolteon, Jolteon was able to score a direct hit on Koffing, forcing Team Rocket to retreat. Red returned to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House and [[Mr. Fuji]] gave Red a [[Poké Flute]] and two Mega Evolution stones. Red then departed from Lavender Town and continued his journey.
Eventually, he was able to defeat [[Misty]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. He also encountered a crime syndicate called [[Team Rocket]] who had stolen the TM for Dig. Eventually, Red arrived in [[Lavender Town]], where he heard about some ghost sightings in the [[Pokémon Tower]], the town's Pokémon cemetery. Red went to the [[Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House]] and met one of its volunteers, [[Reina]]. Reina told Red that Team Rocket was near town poaching Pokémon, and how a newborn {{p|Cubone}} had lost its mother to them, and Team Rocket had then taken over the Pokémon Tower as their headquarters and kidnapped the owner of the Pokémon House, Mr. Fuji. Red decided to take Team Rocket on, so he went to the overtaken Pokémon Tower, where he encountered Blue again, who had heard about it too. A ghost then appeared and Red sent out his {{p|Charmeleon}} to deal with it. Blue tossed him the [[Silph Scope]], which he had stolen from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in order to identify the ghost, which was then revealed to be Cubone's deceased mother, {{p|Marowak}}. Reina appeared with Cubone, who had a tender reunion with its mother. Team Rocket then found the group, but were defeated in battle by Cubone and Red's {{p|Jolteon}}, so they retreated. Red advanced to the Tower's top floor, where he found a tied-up Mr. Fuji. Red returned to the Pokémon House, where [[Mr. Fuji]] gave Red a [[Poké Flute]] and two [[Mega Stone|mysterious stones]]. Red then departed from Lavender Town and continued his journey.


Red challenged Erika to a Gym battle and won. Afterwards, he battled Koga and won as well. Red then went to Silph Co. where he was able to free the Pokémon Team Rocket stole and was rewarded a {{p|Lapras}}. On the top floor, Red noticed that Giovanni had the Silph Co. president held hostage. Red battled Giovanni with Charizard and horribly lost.
Now a more-than-capable Trainer, Red challenged and defeated both [[Erika]] and [[Koga]] in Gym battles. He found [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's hideout]] under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]], where he met their leader, Giovanni. Red then went to [[Silph Co.]], which had been overtaken by Team Rocket in an attempt to get the [[Master Ball]], where he was able to free the Pokémon they had stolen and was rewarded by a Silph scientist with a {{p|Lapras}}. On the top floor, Red found [[Giovanni]] and saw that he was holding the Silph Co. president hostage. Red battled Giovanni with Charizard and lost horribly.


Red left Silph Co. and challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle where he emerged victorious. Red also went to the Pokémon dojo and challenged [[Kiyo]] where he emerged victorious there too. Red rode on his Lapras to Cinnabar Island where he went to the Cinnabar Mansion first. Next, he challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won.
Red left Silph Co. and challenged [[Sabrina]] to a Gym battle, which he won. Red also went to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and challenged [[Kiyo]], proving victorious again. Red rode Lapras to [[Cinnabar Island]] and visited the [[Cinnabar Mansion|Mansion]] first, where he found the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]]. Afterward, he challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won.
[[File:Red Hall of Fame PO.png|250px|left|thumb|Red's Hall of Fame team]]
Red returned to Viridian City to challenge the final Gym, whose Leader was none other than Giovanni. Red had a rematch with him and even though Giovanni had the upper hand at first, Red was able to defeat him after a very long battle finally ended when {{p|Charizard}} defeated {{p|Rhydon}}. This defeat convinced Giovanni to disband Team Rocket, train to become a better person and Trainer, quit his job as the Viridian City Gym Leader, and respect Red as a Trainer.

Red had a rematch with him and even though Giovanni had the upperhand at first, Red was able to defeat him after his {{p|Hitmonlee}} tied with his {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Charizard}} defeated {{p|Rhydon}}. This defeat caused Giovanni to disband Team Rocket, and to respect Red as a Trainer.
Red went to [[Indigo Plateau]] and managed to get through the [[Elite Four]]. He discovered that Blue had become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and challenged him still. The titanic battle was only decided when Charizard defeated Blastoise despite a type disadvantage. Soon afterward, Professor Oak came by to congratulate both Trainers and had Red follow him into the [[Hall of Fame]], where he registered his data as one of the Trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Champion.


Red went to [[Indigo Plateau]] and managed to get through the Elite Four. He challenged Blue who was the Champion to their final match where Red was able to defeat his Blastoise with Charizard despite the type-disadvantage. Professor Oak comes by and congratulated both Trainers and had Red come with him. Red was taken to the Hall of Fame where he got to register his data as one of the Trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Champion.
He continued his quest to fill up the Pokédex and caught almost every Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]]. Red returned to Professor Oak's lab and saw that Blue had been injured by a powerful being in [[Cerulean Cave]]. Red asked Blue to show him, in Red's Pokédex, what Pokémon it was. Professor Oak then realized that Red had caught all 149 Pokémon in Kanto. Professor Oak asked what the stones Red had were for, which Red didn't actually know. He explained that he had gotten them from Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town. He also mentioned that the Pokémon that attacked Blue may have been a then-newly-discovered Pokémon called {{p|Mew}}, which he had read about in the journal in the mansion on Cinnabar Island. Red also remembered reading about Mew being cloned into a Pokémon called {{p|Mewtwo}}, which then escaped from and destroyed the mansion. Professor Oak said that this must have been the work of Dr. Fuji. Red then realized that Dr. Fuji and Mr. Fuji were the same people. Professor Oak, meanwhile, remembered reading about the stones and told Red to hold onto the [[Key Stone|smaller of the two stones]] and let Charizard hold the other.


He continued his quest afterwards to fill up the Pokédex and caught more Pokémon. Red returned to Professor Oak's lab where he found an injured Blue after Blue went to Cerulean Cave. Both boys compare their Pokédexes to see who filled up theirs more. Professor Oak then explained to Red about the Mega Evolution stones and their origins, as well as Mewtwo and Mew.
Red then went all the way to Cerulean Cave to find Mewtwo. Upon finding the Genetic Pokémon, a battle commenced immediately. Mewtwo's incredible power overwhelmed Red's entire team, save for one: Charizard. With Red and Charizard almost drowning in the water surrounding the island they were fighting on, Red's Key Stone reacted with Charizard's Charizardite X, which was revealed to be a Mega Stone from the [[Kalos]] region. The reaction allowed Charizard to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X. Its newfound power allowed Charizard to weaken Mewtwo enough for Red to attempt capture. After a failed capture attempt, Red threw an Ultra Ball at Mewtwo and successfully caught it. He then returned home to a dinner with his mother, Blue, and Professor Oak. Realizing his work on the Pokédex was not done yet, Red ventured off to catch the most elusive of all Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}.


Red then went all the way to Cerulean Cave to find Mewtwo. As Red found Mewtwo, he decided to battle it and it defeated part of Red's whole team where Charizard ended up becoming the last one standing. During the battle, Red got his Charizard to Mega Evolve and was equal in strength with Mewtwo. After weakening it, Red threw an Ultra Ball at it and successfully caught it. He returned home where he had dinner with his mother, Blue, and Professor Oak before going off to catch {{p|Mew}} in order to complete the Pokédex.
==Character ==
Red starts out as a well-meaning, polite klutz with a heart of gold. His father named him to be warm-hearted with a strong sense of adventure like a powerful fire. However, he's not without faults, as he tends to forget type-match ups, and towards the beginning of his journey, saw Pokémon as tools for battle rather than partners. Despite this, he learns from his mistakes very quickly, which eventually allows him to have the courage to stand up for what he believes is right, even if others disagree.
 
Like in the games, it is hinted that Red is a prodigy, as he managed to beat Brock with very little experience and later accomplish incredible feats such as capturing Mewtwo and becoming Champion of Kanto.


==Pokémon==
==Pokémon==
Red has 150 Pokémon in his collection, including one of each Pokémon featured in [[Generation I]] (except {{p|Mew}}); he caught several Pokémon off-screen. During his journey, Red has access to several Pokémon that he often rotates between and the only fixed member of his team is {{p|Charizard}}.

Red was seen using Jolteon again in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', and this time, it fought [[Giovanni]]'s {{p|Rhyhorn}} during his [[Gym]] battle against the Rocket Boss.

History

Red and his rival, Blue

Red appeared in the first episode of the series, in which he was called by Professor Oak to see him in his lab. Along the way, he met up with his childhood friend and rival, Professor Oak's grandson, Blue, who was also called there. The boys raced to Professor Oak's lab, where he greeted them and explained that he was done with his new invention, the Pokédex. He explained that his lifelong goal was to make a full encyclopedia on all of the Pokémon in Kanto, but was too old to travel and collect data. He asked them to catch all 149 Pokémon to fulfill his dream, and that whenever they caught a new Pokémon, their data would automatically be input in the Pokédex. On a table, Red was given the choice of either Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur as both a first partner Pokémon and a token of appreciation for willing to complete this task. He chose Charmander, and Blue went for Squirtle. Each young Trainer then began his journey.

On Route 1, he encountered a Pidgey, but was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a Rattata came by, Red was able to catch it and add it to the Pokédex. Red's first Trainer battle was with a Youngster, but when he tried to catch his opponent's Nidoran♀ in a Poké Ball, it failed. The Youngster, now suspicious of Red, withdrew his Pokémon and ended the battle. The Youngster pointed to Viridian City as the location where he caught Nidoran♀, so Red decides to go there. On the way, he saw Blue and agreed to a battle. Both Trainers used their first partner Pokémon, but Red forfeited after Charmander was pinned down by Squirtle's relentless Bite.

Brock noticed the disappointed Trainer and talked to him, cheering him up. Later, Red arrived in Pewter City and went to the Pokémon Center to video-chat with Professor Oak. After healing his Pokémon, Red visited the Pewter Museum of Science. As Red entered the Pewter Gym to challenge Brock, a Lass and her friend talked to him and said he had a million years ahead of him before he challenged the Gym Leader. Brock then appeared, and Red recognized him as the Trainer who had talked to him before. Trainer and Gym Leader did battle, with Red becoming the victor after a long match that took out most of his team.

Eventually, he was able to defeat Misty and Lt. Surge. He also encountered a crime syndicate called Team Rocket who had stolen the TM for Dig. Eventually, Red arrived in Lavender Town, where he heard about some ghost sightings in the Pokémon Tower, the town's Pokémon cemetery. Red went to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House and met one of its volunteers, Reina. Reina told Red that Team Rocket was near town poaching Pokémon, and how a newborn Cubone had lost its mother to them, and Team Rocket had then taken over the Pokémon Tower as their headquarters and kidnapped the owner of the Pokémon House, Mr. Fuji. Red decided to take Team Rocket on, so he went to the overtaken Pokémon Tower, where he encountered Blue again, who had heard about it too. A ghost then appeared and Red sent out his Charmeleon to deal with it. Blue tossed him the Silph Scope, which he had stolen from a Team Rocket Grunt in order to identify the ghost, which was then revealed to be Cubone's deceased mother, Marowak. Reina appeared with Cubone, who had a tender reunion with its mother. Team Rocket then found the group, but were defeated in battle by Cubone and Red's Jolteon, so they retreated. Red advanced to the Tower's top floor, where he found a tied-up Mr. Fuji. Red returned to the Pokémon House, where Mr. Fuji gave Red a Poké Flute and two mysterious stones. Red then departed from Lavender Town and continued his journey.

Now a more-than-capable Trainer, Red challenged and defeated both Erika and Koga in Gym battles. He found Team Rocket's hideout under the Rocket Game Corner, where he met their leader, Giovanni. Red then went to Silph Co., which had been overtaken by Team Rocket in an attempt to get the Master Ball, where he was able to free the Pokémon they had stolen and was rewarded by a Silph scientist with a Lapras. On the top floor, Red found Giovanni and saw that he was holding the Silph Co. president hostage. Red battled Giovanni with Charizard and lost horribly.

Red left Silph Co. and challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle, which he won. Red also went to the Fighting Dojo and challenged Kiyo, proving victorious again. Red rode Lapras to Cinnabar Island and visited the Mansion first, where he found the Pokémon Mansion journals. Afterward, he challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won.

Red's Hall of Fame team

Red returned to Viridian City to challenge the final Gym, whose Leader was none other than Giovanni. Red had a rematch with him and even though Giovanni had the upper hand at first, Red was able to defeat him after a very long battle finally ended when Charizard defeated Rhydon. This defeat convinced Giovanni to disband Team Rocket, train to become a better person and Trainer, quit his job as the Viridian City Gym Leader, and respect Red as a Trainer.

Red went to Indigo Plateau and managed to get through the Elite Four. He discovered that Blue had become the Champion and challenged him still. The titanic battle was only decided when Charizard defeated Blastoise despite a type disadvantage. Soon afterward, Professor Oak came by to congratulate both Trainers and had Red follow him into the Hall of Fame, where he registered his data as one of the Trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Champion.

He continued his quest to fill up the Pokédex and caught almost every Pokémon, including the legendary birds. Red returned to Professor Oak's lab and saw that Blue had been injured by a powerful being in Cerulean Cave. Red asked Blue to show him, in Red's Pokédex, what Pokémon it was. Professor Oak then realized that Red had caught all 149 Pokémon in Kanto. Professor Oak asked what the stones Red had were for, which Red didn't actually know. He explained that he had gotten them from Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town. He also mentioned that the Pokémon that attacked Blue may have been a then-newly-discovered Pokémon called Mew, which he had read about in the journal in the mansion on Cinnabar Island. Red also remembered reading about Mew being cloned into a Pokémon called Mewtwo, which then escaped from and destroyed the mansion. Professor Oak said that this must have been the work of Dr. Fuji. Red then realized that Dr. Fuji and Mr. Fuji were the same people. Professor Oak, meanwhile, remembered reading about the stones and told Red to hold onto the smaller of the two stones and let Charizard hold the other.

Red then went all the way to Cerulean Cave to find Mewtwo. Upon finding the Genetic Pokémon, a battle commenced immediately. Mewtwo's incredible power overwhelmed Red's entire team, save for one: Charizard. With Red and Charizard almost drowning in the water surrounding the island they were fighting on, Red's Key Stone reacted with Charizard's Charizardite X, which was revealed to be a Mega Stone from the Kalos region. The reaction allowed Charizard to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X. Its newfound power allowed Charizard to weaken Mewtwo enough for Red to attempt capture. After a failed capture attempt, Red threw an Ultra Ball at Mewtwo and successfully caught it. He then returned home to a dinner with his mother, Blue, and Professor Oak. Realizing his work on the Pokédex was not done yet, Red ventured off to catch the most elusive of all Pokémon, Mew.

Character

Red starts out as a well-meaning, polite klutz with a heart of gold. His father named him to be warm-hearted with a strong sense of adventure like a powerful fire. However, he's not without faults, as he tends to forget type-match ups, and towards the beginning of his journey, saw Pokémon as tools for battle rather than partners. Despite this, he learns from his mistakes very quickly, which eventually allows him to have the courage to stand up for what he believes is right, even if others disagree.

Like in the games, it is hinted that Red is a prodigy, as he managed to beat Brock with very little experience and later accomplish incredible feats such as capturing Mewtwo and becoming Champion of Kanto.

Pokémon

Red has 150 Pokémon in his collection, including one of each Pokémon featured in Generation I (except Mew); he caught several Pokémon off-screen. During his journey, Red has access to several Pokémon that he often rotates between and the only fixed member of his team is Charizard.
