Red (レッド)

Background

In Pokémon Special


Red is a main character in the manga series Pokémon Adventures. His first Pokémon was a Poliwag, which evolved into a Poliwhirl when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a Poliwrath in Buzz off, Electabuzz!.

Red's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the "Fighter" (戦う者 Fighter).
In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the Pokédex holders, second only to Professor Oak.

Red wears a red jacket, black undershirt, a red and white cap, and blue jeans, along with a black bandana around his knee from the Yellow chapter onwards.

Red is extremely competitive when it comes to his rival, Green. They both swore to become strong trainers and share both a close friendship and a strong rivalry.

Red, Green & Blue chapter
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 Green 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 Green and decides to suck up his pride and go to see Professor Oak.

At the end of the RGB chapter, Red emerges as the 9th triennial Pokemon league Champion.

Yellow chapter

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.

Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter
Red is offered the newly-open position of Viridian City Gym Leader, but 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 Green where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in Mt. Silver with Green's Charizard and Blue'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 Green, Brock, and Erika from a train crash.

FireRed & LeafGreen chapter

Emerald chapter

Main Team

In Pokemon: The Origin

Red get's his design from the remakes of the original games, Fire Red/Leaf Green. He chooses Charmander as his starter, because it coincides with his name. Like the games and manga, his Rival is Green, and because he didn't want to choose a Pokemon for the same reason as Red, he decides to go for Squirtle instead of Bulbasuar.
