'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the first main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first [[Pokémon]] was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]].


Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.
==Character==
Red is very much the quintessential hero; brave, kind, and outgoing. He is capable of feats of agility, and is always willing to help others, with or without the help of his Pokémon.


Red's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"Fighter"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').
Red is an exceptional [[Pokémon battle]]r, able to utilize his Pokémon's [[move]]s and natural talents in unique ways. Red's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon battling, earning the title of the '''"Fighter"''' ({{tt|戦う者|たたかうもの}} ''Fighter'').


In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to [[Professor Oak]].
Red is sometimes slow to pick up on sensitive matters. He is the last of the original seven [[Pokédex holder]]s to learn of {{adv|Yellow}}'s true gender.
==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[‎Image:Pokémon_Adventures_Red_3.40.PNG|left|thumb|100px|Red in the first chapter]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned [[Professor Oak]] and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander|Charizard}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see [[Professor Oak]].


Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|SolarBeam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in the [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.
==History==
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===
Red's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{p|Poliwag}} named [[Poli]] that he owned as a young boy. One day, when Red was swimming and began to drown, Poli was unable to do anything but watch. Due to being unable to help Red in his current state, he [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and saved him.


Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{Adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty whoops Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{badge|Cascade}}.
==={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Red RGB chapter Adventures.png|left|thumb|100px|Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League]]
In this arc, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red is first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mention {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they leave. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}.

Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.


After stowing away and getting kicked off of the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.  
Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's {{i|Poké Ball}}s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}.

The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.


Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{Adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.
Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{Badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges.

[[File:Red Special RGB.png|right|thumb|Red, [[Pika]], [[Saur]], and [[Poli]] in the first chapter]]
After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.
Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two badges, the {{badge|Boulder}} and the {{badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. He infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{Adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but but not before leaving Red's badges entrusted in his pocket.


Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{Adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with [[Bill]]'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vui|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{ka|Safari Zone}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.


He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss [[Giovanni]], whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

He gets it revived into an [[Aero]]dactyl and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.
 
Later, when Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vee]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.
 
After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{Badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{Badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.
 
He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{Badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his [[Moon Stone]]. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a new Pokémon}}. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.
 
Red then journeys back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.
 
[[File:Red Frozen Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets {{adv|Giovanni}} again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to [[Indigo Plateau]].


Later, when Red, {{Adv|Blue}}, and {{Adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for [[Professor Oak]]'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{Adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vui]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{Adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.
With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.


After splitting up with Blue at [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{Adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.
==={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===
At the beginning of the second arc, two years after the end of the previous arc, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.


He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{Adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two badges that she returned to him earlier were a fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real badges in, creating [[Zapmolcuno|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.
Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the arc, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Red then journies back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{p|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.
[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|250px|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third arc]]
Red first appears in the ''Gold, Silver & Crystal'' arcs in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'' when {{adv|Gold}} sees him in a photo at the {{pkmn|Day Care}} Center showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.


Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets [[Giovanni]] again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better trainer and goes off to the [[Indigo Plateau]].
Red is offered the newly-open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.


With the badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the [[Champion]] of the 9th Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.
Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way, they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other Pokédex holders then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want Red's {{badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he refuses, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.  


Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, [[Giovanni]] eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save [[Bill]] and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

Red is offered the newly open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{Adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{Adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt.

{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the [[Team Rocket airship]] hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of The Three Beasts, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the airship and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the airship. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the airship from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this arc, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the arc that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the [[Battle Dome]] tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
In this arc, Red gets a call from Bill, who informs him that the Ruby and Sapphire shards that were taken from Team Rocket have begun transforming into [[Colored orbs|Orbs]]. Fearing something may happen, Bill asks Red to come over to help him with the shards. When Red, Green, and Daisy arrive at Bill's cottage, they find that Bill has been attacked. Bill reveals that two men attacked him and stole the Orbs and his boat. Red and Green leave Bill in Daisy's care while they use a tracking device to find the thieves.


==={{chap|Emerald}}===
They travel to the Hoenn region and catch up with the thieves, who are revealed to be [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. Overhearing their plans to use the Orbs for some purpose, Red and Green decide to battle Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and take the Orbs back. When Maxie and Archie start the battle by using [[Mega Evolution]] to power up their Pokémon, Red and Green counter by using their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Red and Green eventually manage to defeat their opponents, but are startled by the appearance of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] forms. With its increased power Groudon easily defeats Red and Green by smashing them under a pile of rubble.
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, still statues, are transported in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other [[Pokédex holders]], remains frozen in stone. It is only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others help fight [[Guile Hideout]].
 
Afterward, Red and Green awaken inside a building, where they find that their belongings and Poké Balls have been taken away. There, they meet [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}}, who also had their stuff taken. The person responsible reveals himself to be Giovanni, who had taken the four aboard the Team Rocket airship. He reveals to them that he intends on helping stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]].
 
Later, Red and others travel to [[Sootopolis City]], where they find Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald discussing a plan to destroy the meteoroid. Red's group demonstrates that despite not being in a battle, activating Mega Evolution is still possible. With this revelation, Giovanni speculates that the meteoroid may actually be a Pokémon from space. Green then suggests that they gather allies from around Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto so that they may combine the power of their Pokémon to help slow down the meteoroid.

In ''[[PS403|Cleaning Up Grimer]]'', when {{adv|Diamond}} was calling [[Johanna|his mother]] after he ended up on a [[Team Galactic]] aircraft heading to [[Veilstone City]], he told her not to worry, and referred to the heroics of the members of [[Proteam Omega]], which were based on Red's team.
 
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Red was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].
 
In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', at the [[Spear Pillar]], Sird told the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s about how she escaped from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver by turning them into stone with her {{p|Darkrai}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in Viz's translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]] (except Pika). Their English nicknames were first officially used in Chuang Yi's translations of Sevii Island Arc. Coincidentally, they are exactly the same as [[Serebii.net#Staff|Coronis]]'s nicknames coined long before Chuang Yi.
* Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in [[VIZ Media]]'s original translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the exception of [[Pika]]. Their English nicknames were first officially used in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' arc.
*Red is the only male protagonist of Pokémon Adventures to challenge [[Gym]]s. {{adv|Ruby}} challenges Contests while neither {{adv|Gold}} nor {{adv|Diamond}} does either Contests or Gyms.  
** However, VIZ later begun to use nicknames for Red's other Pokémon, beginning in {{PAV|9}}.
**Red only has 7 of the 8 Kanto gym badges.  He is missing the Earth Badge, despite having defeated Giovanni at Viridian Gym.
* Red has the same birth month and blood type as his main nemesis {{adv|Giovanni}}.
*Red's birthday is August 8th.
* Red's birthday is the same day as when the first volume of Pokémon Adventures came out.
*Red's {{wp|blood type}} is O.
* It's mentioned in [[Mato]]'s old website that Red is 11 years old and 4'11" (150&nbsp;cm) tall during the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000614015008/http://www.chaldea.ne.jp/matohome/rensaisi.htm Screenshot from Mato's old website]</ref>
* Red is 5'8" (172&nbsp;cm) tall and weighs 127&nbsp;lbs (58&nbsp;kg).

Red (Japanese: レッド Red) is a main character in the manga series Pokémon Adventures.

Character

Red is very much the quintessential hero; brave, kind, and outgoing. He is capable of feats of agility, and is always willing to help others, with or without the help of his Pokémon.

Red is an exceptional Pokémon battler, able to utilize his Pokémon's moves and natural talents in unique ways. Red's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon battling, earning the title of the "Fighter" (戦う者 Fighter).

Red is sometimes slow to pick up on sensitive matters. He is the last of the original seven Pokédex holders to learn of Yellow's true gender.

History

Prior to Red, Green & Blue arc

Red's first Pokémon was a Poliwag named Poli that he owned as a young boy. One day, when Red was swimming and began to drown, Poli was unable to do anything but watch. Due to being unable to help Red in his current state, he evolved into Poliwhirl and saved him.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League

In this arc, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is Blue. Red is first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mention Professor Oak and his grandson, they leave. He then sees a few Team Rocket Grunts and overhears them talking about Mew. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a Charmander. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own Poliwhirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see Professor Oak.

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a Bulbasaur, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's Poké Balls are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for the same Bulbasaur from earlier, which he eventually finds in the Viridian Gym. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild Machoke. Red then figures out how to use Solar Beam on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a Pokédex and Bulbasaur to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in Viridian Forest. The two boys fight over a Kangaskhan, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a rivalry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing Pikachu that was destroying industry in Pewter City. He then runs into Blue again, learns of the Boulder Badge and decides to challenge Brock and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with Saur and Poli Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat Brock's Onix. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters Misty and her Gyarados which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her Staryu in the process. After re-capturing the Gyarados for Misty, Red learns about Team Rocket through Misty and Oak, and sets off to Mt. Moon after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin Koga uses an injection to make his Rhyhorn evolve into a Rhydon. While staying in Misty's mansion, Misty defeats Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the Cascade Badge.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the S.S. Anne, Red meets the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman, learning from him that his Abra, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, Lt. Surge. Lt. Surge, another one of Team Rocket's admins, throws Red and Poli overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a Poliwrath, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a Snorlax. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town to rescue Blue who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a Gastly owned by Koga. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's Arbok in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called Green. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the Boulder Badge and the Cascade Badge, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen Squirtle mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into Wartortle. Upon hearing some Team Rocket Grunts mentioning her, Red infiltrates Team Rocket to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about Mew. Even after everything Green did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

Red with his team from the first volume's cover

Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with Blue near Celadon City. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to Erika and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an Eevee. Eventually, with Bill's help, Red finds and catches a strange Eevee with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a Gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses Pika to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were Team Rocket.

Red next visits the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City, and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a Poké Ball and catches a Nidoqueen, angering two Nidoking that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a Victreebel to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the Bellsprout and Weepinbell. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss Giovanni, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some Fossils and get to Pewter City through Diglett's Cave, only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two Magmar. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an Old Amber.

Wanting to reach the Seafoam Islands, Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the HM for Surf. He is instead confronted by a Dragonite and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by Misty, who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her Starmie and Gyarados. Misty then trades Red's Krabby for her Gyarados, who knows Surf. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for Articuno.

He then reaches Cinnabar Island, spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle Blaine's Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a Moltres. The Grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's Rapidash. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's Old Amber and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an Aerodactyl and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, Blue, and Green all fail to get into Saffron City, Red goes to Pallet Town to ask for Professor Oak's advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for Sabrina and her Kadabra, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. Blue then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be Team Rocket's headquarters, and they find out that Vee is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large psychic barrier, so with some urging from Green, Red and Blue team up. With Pika's Substitute and Blue's Golduck's Confusion, the two of them locate the source of the barrier, Sabrina's Mr. Mime, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside Silph Co., Red runs into Lt. Surge, who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and Electric-type Pokémon, powered by Zapdos. Red sends out Saur in defense and uses Razor Leaf to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the Thunder Badge from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds Koga standing victorious over Blue. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's Grimer. After a hard battle with the legendary Articuno, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the Soul Badge from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets Green, who hands him the Marsh Badge in exchange for his Moon Stone. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his Pikachu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating a new Pokémon. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

Red then journeys back to Cerulean City to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be Mewtwo. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's Psywave. They are saved by Blaine, and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a Master Ball for Blaine.

Red frozen on Mt. Moon

Later, Red encounters Yellow being attacked by a Dratini in Viridian Forest. He helps her catch a Rattata and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets Giovanni again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new Gym Leader of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to Indigo Plateau.

With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces Blue in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his Charizard with Saur and emerges as the Champion of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the Elite Four, who are watching the battle from the side.

Yellow arc

At the beginning of the second arc, two years after the end of the previous arc, Red receives an invitation to battle Bruno of the Elite Four at Mt. Moon. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by Lorelei and Agatha, who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the Earth Badge to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the Silph Co. rubble. When he tells the truth, Lorelei freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only Pika escapes and makes it to Professor Oak's laboratory, where he teams up with Yellow.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by Brock in Mt. Moon, but Red is nowhere to be found. Even Bruno, looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the arc, Giovanni eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the Elite Four on Cerise Island. Red arrives just in time to save Bill and Lt. Surge, finally finishing his battle with Bruno.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third arc

Red first appears in the Gold, Silver & Crystal arcs in Gligar Glide when Gold sees him in a photo at the Day Care Center showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.

Red is offered the newly-open position of Viridian City Gym Leader, and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help Yellow deal with finding Lugia in Johto, but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from Blue where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in Mt. Silver with Blue's Charizard and Green's Blastoise, where he meets Sabrina, also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save Blue, Brock, and Erika from a train crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new Rhydon towards Ilex Forest, where the villainous Masked Man headed. Along the way, they meet Bruno and Koga, two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about Celebi.

When they arrive at Ilex Forest, Red, Blue, and the other Pokédex holders then team up with several legendary Pokémon to help fight the Masked Man. During the battle Red finally learns that Yellow is a girl. At the end of the story, Gold becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Red in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc

From this arc onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at Professor Oak's lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to Vermilion City. Once there, the two board the Seagallop Ferry to the Sevii Islands, where they also find Green being attacked by Deoxys. They are soon confronted by the new Team Rocket Admins, The Three Beasts, as well as Deoxys, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, Professor Oak has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

Red undergoes special training under Ultima on Two Island, where his Venusaur learns the legendary Grass-type move Frenzy Plant. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

Red in the Emerald arc

Mewtwo shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket airship hovering above Viridian City, where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as Carr, one of The Three Beasts, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his Forretress all over the airship and ordering them to use Explosion, takes over the airship. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the airship from blowing up over Vermilion City. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the arc, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by Sird's beam intended for Deoxys.

Emerald arc

Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the S.S. Tidal by the other main characters to the Battle Frontier for their salvation. For most of this arc, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the arc that he and the others were liberated by Emerald with the help of the wish-granting Mythical Pokémon Jirachi. Free again, Red and the others helped fight Guile Hideout. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the Battle Dome tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

In this arc, Red gets a call from Bill, who informs him that the Ruby and Sapphire shards that were taken from Team Rocket have begun transforming into Orbs. Fearing something may happen, Bill asks Red to come over to help him with the shards. When Red, Green, and Daisy arrive at Bill's cottage, they find that Bill has been attacked. Bill reveals that two men attacked him and stole the Orbs and his boat. Red and Green leave Bill in Daisy's care while they use a tracking device to find the thieves.

They travel to the Hoenn region and catch up with the thieves, who are revealed to be Maxie and Archie. Overhearing their plans to use the Orbs for some purpose, Red and Green decide to battle Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and take the Orbs back. When Maxie and Archie start the battle by using Mega Evolution to power up their Pokémon, Red and Green counter by using their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Red and Green eventually manage to defeat their opponents, but are startled by the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms. With its increased power Groudon easily defeats Red and Green by smashing them under a pile of rubble.

Afterward, Red and Green awaken inside a building, where they find that their belongings and Poké Balls have been taken away. There, they meet Blaise and Amber, who also had their stuff taken. The person responsible reveals himself to be Giovanni, who had taken the four aboard the Team Rocket airship. He reveals to them that he intends on helping stop the meteoroid.

Later, Red and others travel to Sootopolis City, where they find Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald discussing a plan to destroy the meteoroid. Red's group demonstrates that despite not being in a battle, activating Mega Evolution is still possible. With this revelation, Giovanni speculates that the meteoroid may actually be a Pokémon from space. Green then suggests that they gather allies from around Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto so that they may combine the power of their Pokémon to help slow down the meteoroid.

Diamond & Pearl arc

In Cleaning Up Grimer, when Diamond was calling his mother after he ended up on a Team Galactic aircraft heading to Veilstone City, he told her not to worry, and referred to the heroics of the members of Proteam Omega, which were based on Red's team.

In High-tailing It from Haunter, Red was briefly seen together with the other Pokédex holders from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn when the Advanced level Grunt was talking to Diamond about the Pokédex.

In Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV, at the Spear Pillar, Sird told the Team Galactic Commanders about how she escaped from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver by turning them into stone with her Darkrai.

Blaine, blaming himself for the disaster that this had caused, used the connection to the Genetic Pokémon on his arm to track it down to where it last rampaged in northwestern sector of Cerulean City. After Red, from his curiosity to see this so-called "Monster of Cerulean," ended up joining the battle, Blaine's attempts at killing it to no avail. Red, however, succeeds in hitting it with the inescapable Master Ball using Pika, and tells Blaine to teach it love and compassion after leaving it in his care.

Much later, long after it was released from Blaine's ownership, Mewtwo reappears in the Sevii Islands to serve as a partner for Red's battle with Giovanni, succeeding in defeating him and Deoxys in an epic clash.
