Plot

Red, Blue and Green Arc

Chapter 001: Vs Mew Red debuts in Pallet Town while he teaches a group of children how to catch pokemon. Before they leave, they tell him about the famous Professor Oak and his grandson, who had just come back from training overseas. They say that Professor Oak is famous for his knowledge of Pokemon. Feeling arrogant at that time, Red went to prove that he is better than him. Later, he ran into some men in black uniforms with a red 'R' on their chests and overheard them talking about the "Phantom Pokemon." Red then decided to try to catch it first and headed to western Pallet with as many unused Pokeballs as he could carry. He then saw a trainer with a Charmander battling it out with an unknown pokemon. Red observed the intense battle, until the trainer appeared to have indiscriminantly called back his pokemon. Red revealed himself to the trainer and the pokemon. He then called out Poli to battle the Phantom Pokemon only to lose horribly. The Phantom Pokemon then fled. As Red was nursing Poli (as well as coping with losing for the first time), the other then told Red that he recalled his pokemon because he acknowledged the sheer difference in power. The men in black appeared after the trainer and the Phantom Pokemon left. Though one tried to interrogate Red, another him it would be useless and the group left.
