As {{adv|Red}} arrives in [[Pewter City]], a group of angry townspeople pursues a wild {{p|Pikachu}} that steals and eats their produce. However, every time they corner it, the Mouse Pokémon escapes using its electricity. After reading a poster that fell off a building, Red decides that it would be in his best interest to give them a hand. Watching the townspeople's pathetic attempts to try to catch the Pikachu, including trapping it with a net, Red challenges it to a battle and chooses {{p|Bulbasaur}} to defeat the troublemaker. Red has Bulbasaur use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which sends Pikachu to sleep. After his reward from the townspeople, Red shows them his [[Pokédex]] and they watch in amazement.
As {{adv|Red}} arrives in [[Pewter City]], a group of angry townspeople rush past him, as a wanted poster falls off the wall nearby.

They corner Pikachu, catching it under a net as it stops to eat some fruit from a nearby food stall. Pikachu gets away using its electricity on the net, baiting more chase from the angry crowd.


Afterward, in the outskirts of Pewter City, Red tries befriending his newly caught Pikachu, but to no avail. {{adv|Blue}} shows up and reveals he is planning on challenging [[Brock]], the leader of the [[Pewter City Gym]], and he challenges Red to try to be the first to defeat Brock and win the {{Badge|Boulder}}. Red accepts the challenge and the next day visits the [[Pokémon Center]] to prepare himself for the big battle ahead, but he finds the Pokémon Center closed due to damage from vandals, and the only Pokémon he has with full energy is the troublesome Pikachu.

He finds the Pokémon Center closed, their machines damaged by vandals, leaving his disobedient Pikachu as the only Pokémon he has at full health. Red rushes into the gym, stopping as he sees a challenge already in progress, the crowd cheering as a {{p|Charmeleon}} sends out a move.

201

As Red arrives in Pewter City, a group of angry townspeople rush past him, as a wanted poster falls off the wall nearby. He picks it up, revealing that the townspeople are chasing after a wild Pikachu, and Red decides to help out. They corner Pikachu, catching it under a net as it stops to eat some fruit from a nearby food stall. Pikachu gets away using its electricity on the net, baiting more chase from the angry crowd.

Red decides to stop standing by, and calls out Saur, pulling the Pikachu into a battle. It attacks Saur, to no effect as Red commands out Sleep Powder, putting Pikachu to sleep, allowing it to be caught effortlessly. Red holds up Pikachu's Poké Ball with pride, as the townspeople celebrate. They treat him to a lavish meal for taking care of the pest that was ruining their businesses, and ask him about where he's from and why he's in Pewter City. He shows off his Pokédex as Pikachu starts getting agitated inside its Poké Ball.

Red takes Pikachu out into a field in an attempt to better befriend it, unable to make any headway before Blue shows up and chastises him for taking such a casual attitude to filling out his Pokédex. Red gets angry and starts gearing up for a fight, but before they can start, Blue mentions he's going to seek out Brock, the leader of the Pewter City Gym, to earn the Boulder Badge. He challenges Red to see which of them can earn the badge first, teasing him by saying it won't be much of a challenge when he can't even train Pikachu. Red accepts, and Blue leaves, derisively wishing him good luck.

Afterwards, Red finds a poster laying in the grass saying that the Pewter City Gym's next challenge is the following day at noon. Red gets himself excited at the prospect of beating Blue, before remembering that his Pokémon are low on health and decides to head to a Pokémon Center first thing next morning. He finds the Pokémon Center closed, their machines damaged by vandals, leaving his disobedient Pikachu as the only Pokémon he has at full health. Red rushes into the gym, stopping as he sees a challenge already in progress, the crowd cheering as a Charmeleon sends out a move.

Errors

  • On page 59, on the night before Red's battle with the Pewter Gym Leader, Brock, Red says that he will get his Pokémon "healled", instead of "healed"
  • Blue tells Red that his Pikachu won't work against Brock's Pokémon because they're Rock-type. Though this is technically untrue, all of Brock's Pokémon at this point are Rock/Ground, making them immune to Pikachu's Electric-type attacks.
