Red (Japanese: レッド Red) is the main character of Pokemon Origins.
Character
Red became very excited to go on his journey as seen when he ran down the stairs and then to Professor Oak's laboratory.
History
Red first appeared in the very first episode of the series where he gets called down by Professor Oak to see him in his lab. Along the way, he met Professor Oak's grandson, Blue, 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 Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, and went for the first choice while Blue went for Squirtle. Red began his journey afterwards.
Outside, he encountered a Pidgey and was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a Rattata came by, Red was able to add it to his team. Red has his first battle with a Youngster where he tried to catch his 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.
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 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.
