==Synopsis==
==Plot==
The chapter opens with {{adv|Blue}} carrying many coins at the [[Celadon Game Corner]], with the aim of exchanging them for a prize. Bringing Blue a Pokémon, the attendant informs Blue that unlike Pokémon that are personally caught, Pokémon exchanged at the Game Corner tend to be harder to control...

{{adv|Blue}} brings a large pile of {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s to the front desk at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]], with the aim of exchanging them for a prize. Bringing Blue a Pokémon, the attendant informs Blue that unlike Pokémon that are personally caught, Pokémon exchanged at the Game Corner tend to be harder to control.


Meanwhile, {{adv|Red}} is trying to get out of {{ci|Celadon}}, but bumps into Blue chasing after the unruly {{p|Porygon}} he received at the Game Corner. After a short greeting, Blue walks off and Red mentions that 'he is as friendly as ever.' Suddenly, someone screams and Red sees that two women are being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]]. He grins at a chance to be a hero and immediately sends out [[Pika]]; however, {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon}} comes out instead. Red is shocked and tries to call out all his Pokémon. only to sends out Golduck, Machoke, Pidgeot, and Scyther. As Red realize that the Pokémon all aren't his, the two women mistake Red for "the famous Blue" because he has a [[Pokédex]], Charmeleon, and {{p|Golduck}}. Pestered by the women into showing off his skills, Red decides to {{pkmn|battle}} and orders Charmeleon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but mistakenly calls it '{{p|Charmander}}' - much to the Pokémon's complete lack of response, and leaving Red to be trampled by the wild Pokémon horde.
Meanwhile, {{adv|Red}} is trying to get out of [[Celadon City]], but bumps into Blue chasing after the unruly {{TP|Blue|Porygon}} he received at the Game Corner. All their [[Poké Ball]]s scatter wildly, and they rush to pick them all back up. Blue severely underestimated the warning he received back at the Game Corner, complaining that the Porygon is so difficult to train that he can hardly even use it. Red wants to hear more about Blue's new Pokémon, but he has no interest in spending any more time with Red than he has to, and leaves.


Some time later, Red recalls how the women called him a fake and insulted him after his spectacular failure, grimacing that he would have won with his own Pokémon on hand. Observing that all his Pokémon were switched with Blue's, Red trembles as he realizes he doesn't know how to use them, just as the Pokémon all get up and start training by themselves with a jog. Red admires how Blue trained his Pokémon so well, but figures that they wouldn't take orders from him - unless they could bond first. Much to the Pokémon's surprise Red calls them to stop training, and join him for a swim instead. Meanwhile, Blue is training Red's Pokémon. As [[Poli]], [[Saur]] and [[Pika]] struggle to keep up Blue studies the Pokédex and looks at the Pokémon that got switched with his, deciding to train them his way.
Suddenly, he hears the voices of two girls screaming. Red looks over to see them being chased by a group of angry [[wild Pokémon]]. He's happy to take the chance to be a hero, and rushes to send out [[Pika]]. Much to his confusion, {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon}} comes out instead. The girls take cover behind Red, and he decides to send out all his Pokémon, only to send out {{TP|Blue|Golduck}}, {{TP|Blue|Machoke}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, and {{TP|Blue|Scyther}}.


After three days, Red sits at a campfire with Blue's Pokémon. While the Pokémon no longer show aggression towards Red, he notes that even after this time they still don't obey him, giving him only two Pokémon captures during the three days: {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Krabby}}. Gazing into the distance, he spots a {{p|Ninetales}} and realizes it is fighting something - to be precise, Red's Pikachu, being commanded by Blue. Blue orders a {{m|Toxic}} from Pika, who delivers the attack with a gash from its tail, and remarks that while Pikachu is an Electric Pokémon, it didn't mean a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} could not teach it non-Electric attacks. He tells Pikachu to finish it but the Ninetales gets away; the latter charging at Red and releasing fire towards him. In response, Red reflexively sends out Blue's Machoke, much to Blue's anger as he catches up. The two begin arguing about how they're treating each other's Pokémon when suddenly, Blue's Machoke [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Machamp}} as it is attacked by Ninetales. With its new strength Machamp successfully manages to pin Ninetales, allowing both boys to throw their own [[Poké Ball]]s at it - Red's Poké Ball captures the Ninetales, but Blue argues that ''his'' Machamp was the one who weakened it for capture, and thus claims the Ninetales.
As Red realizes that the Pokémon all aren't his, the two women mistake Red for the famous [[Pokémon Trainer]] named Blue because he has a [[Pokédex]], Charmeleon, and Golduck. They knew a famous Trainer was in the area, but never thought they'd get the chance to meet him. Red tries to explain the situation, but the girls push him closer to the Pokémon, encouraging him to show off his battle skills. Red commands Charmeleon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, the Pokémon completely oblivious to his orders, as Red is trampled by the passing horde.


The next day, both Trainers have re-exchanged their Pokémon and gone their separate ways. Blue furiously notes that while he trained Red's Pokémon, Red didn't help his Pokémon grow - aside from Machamp, who for some reason couldn't evolve until Red held onto it temporarily; an observation Blue chalks up to coincidence, as he ponders the strangely affectionate demeanour of his Pokémon. Meanwhile, Red finds himself chased by his own Pokémon, who adopted Blue's serious attitude through training...
Later, Red is trudging along his way, thinking back on the events from earlier. After his loss, the girls recognized him as a fake, disappointed at his incompetence. He can't believe all his Pokémon got switched with Blue's, looking through them again and not seeing a single one he would have any experience with. Charmeleon bites at Red, unwilling to accept his offer to be friends. Instead, Blue's Pokémon run off to train by themselves, leaving Red surprised at their discipline. Knowing they won't listen to anyone else besides their own Trainer, he tries to make another effort to befriend them by inviting them to go swimming with him.
 
Meanwhile, Blue is training Red's Pokémon. As [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Pika]] struggle to keep up Blue, he is at least happy that their Pokédexes were also switched, giving him all the information he needs on Red's Pokémon until they can switch back again. He looks through his options, and decides to train them his way.
 
After three days, Red sits at a campfire with Blue's Pokémon. While the Pokémon no longer show aggression towards Red, he notes that even after this time they still don't obey him, giving him only two Pokémon captures during the three days: {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Krabby}}. Gazing into the distance, he spots a {{p|Ninetales}} and realizes it is fighting something, Red's Pikachu, being commanded by Blue.
 
Blue orders a {{m|Toxic}} from Pika, who delivers the attack with a gash from its tail, and remarks that while Pikachu is an {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, it didn't mean a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} couldn't teach it non-Electric attacks. He tells Pikachu to finish it, but the Ninetales gallops away and charges towards Red, launching a burst of fire at him. In response, Red reflexively sends out Blue's Machoke, much to Blue's anger as he catches up. The two begin arguing about how they're treating each other's Pokémon when suddenly, Blue's Machoke [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Machamp}} as it is attacked by Ninetales.

Meanwhile, Red finds himself chased by his own Pokémon, who adopted Blue's serious attitude through training.

Blue brings a large pile of Coins to the front desk at the Rocket Game Corner, with the aim of exchanging them for a prize. Bringing Blue a Pokémon, the attendant informs Blue that unlike Pokémon that are personally caught, Pokémon exchanged at the Game Corner tend to be harder to control.

Meanwhile, Red is trying to get out of Celadon City, but bumps into Blue chasing after the unruly Porygon he received at the Game Corner. All their Poké Balls scatter wildly, and they rush to pick them all back up. Blue severely underestimated the warning he received back at the Game Corner, complaining that the Porygon is so difficult to train that he can hardly even use it. Red wants to hear more about Blue's new Pokémon, but he has no interest in spending any more time with Red than he has to, and leaves.

Suddenly, he hears the voices of two girls screaming. Red looks over to see them being chased by a group of angry wild Pokémon. He's happy to take the chance to be a hero, and rushes to send out Pika. Much to his confusion, Charmeleon comes out instead. The girls take cover behind Red, and he decides to send out all his Pokémon, only to send out Golduck, Machoke, Pidgeot, and Scyther.

As Red realizes that the Pokémon all aren't his, the two women mistake Red for the famous Pokémon Trainer named Blue because he has a Pokédex, Charmeleon, and Golduck.
