Saur was given to Red when he accidentally released all of Professor Oak's Pokémon from his lab due to Oak scaring Red when he was called a thief. After Red caught back almost all of his Pokémon, Red found Saur in the closed [[Viridian Gym]]. Saur was scared, but Red used calming words to gain its trust, which caught Oak's interest, as the Bulbasaur was disobedient enough that it would {{m|Tackle}} him. Disaster struck as a wild {{p|Machoke}} appeared and attacked them, and the Seed Pokémon's {{m|Vine Whip}} attack was of minor hindrance. When all bets were off, Red took a guess and presumed that with the giant seed on Saur's back being its key trait, exposing it to rays of sunlight would be worth an attempt, and opened the curtains on the window, allowing it to use {{m|SolarBeam}} and defeat the bulky Pokémon in a flash. After the battle, Professor Oak saw the bonding between Saur and Red, as well as the fact that Saur learned how to use SolarBeam, and allowed him to keep him, along with a copy of the Pokédex (that he'd also given to {{adv|Blue}}). As a Bulbasaur, it was able to learn many more powerful moves, assisted Red in capturing multiple Pokémon such as [[Pika]] and a {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Fearow}} and helped win the [[Boulder Badge]] and [[Cascade Badge]], though his Vine Whip failed in Red's first match with the latter gym leader. | Saur was given to Red when he accidentally released all of Professor Oak's Pokémon from his lab due to Oak scaring Red when he was called a thief.

He was also taken north to the [[Pokémon Tower]] soon afterwards, where he defeated [[Koga]]'s {{p|Gastly}} by sucking it up and frees Blue and his Charmeleon from its control, as well as the rest of the Pokémon the evil [[Team Rocket]] triad member was using. | ||

However, a following chain of events in which Red disguised as a [[Rocket Grunt]] in the Celadon City hideout left the two allied, and Saur's Vine Whip was used to try and capture the {{p|Mew}} that appeared before them. After they managed to save Mew from being caught by the Rockets, Saur was temporarily under {{adv|Blue}}'s ownership by accident when Red and Blue's Poké Balls were swapped, who toughened it up much more while Red did little to strengthen Blue's Pokémon. However, in the process, Saur, [[Poli]], and Pika adopted Blue's harsh mannerisms, and for a while were more than ready to attack their trainer after returning. | [[File:Saur Ivysaur.png|thumb|left|As an Ivysaur]] He evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' at the gates of [[Celadon City]], when he battled an attacking {{p|Primeape}}. {{adv|Green}}, taking advantage of the fake applaud she gave to this evolution, sold Red a bunch of fake items that were nothing but hindersome, and again taking advantage of Red's chase to get his money back, stole his two badges.

After a long and exhausting battle in the [[Silph Co.]] against both [[Lt. Surge]] and [[Sabrina]], he evolved again in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', while he, [[Blue's Charizard]], and [[Blasty]] were battling [[Zapmolcuno|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}}. Red told Saur to keep attacking when he evolved, allowing him to unleash a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} that tipped the scales in the three starters' favor. Afterwards, with his evolved form, he aided in the capture of [[Mewtwo (Adventures)|Mewtwo]] (which, after catching it in a [[Master Ball]], Red leaves it in [[Blaine]]'s care), and was the first Pokémon seen with him by [[Giovanni]] at the [[Viridian Gym]], but was unable to participate in the actual battle due to his {{p|Dugtrio}} shattering his Poké Ball's opening mechanism.

At the Pokémon League, he was the first Pokémon he sent out against {{adv|Blue}}, and managed to {{m|PoisonPowder|poison}} the {{p|Charizard}} before it could attack, and was switched out afterwards. In the end, after being sent out again against the same Pokémon, along with [[Poli]] and [[Pika]], he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard by using the Thunder Cloud created by his teammates in conjunction with his Vine Whip acting as a lightning rod. He was also used in the battle against [[Bruno]] and his {{p|Onix}}, but was then defeated when his fellow Kanto [[Elite 4]] members came and brainwashed him into attacking Saur, [[Lax]], and [[Gyara]]. After being used again in the rematch against Bruno, it was then seen as Red was training for the position of [[Viridian Gym|Viridian]]'s Gym Leader a year later (shattering a boulder with a strong Vine Whip), which he rightfully won but abdicated in favor of {{adv|Blue}} instead. He would then go to see much usage in the final battle against the [[Masked Man]] after the other two starters had been returned to their owners. After the fight was over, he was taken to [[Mt. Silver]] again to train with Gold, and doesn't appear until the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. | ||
In the [[Sevii Islands]], Saur learned the move exclusive to the Grass-type starter families, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, after training on [[Kimberly]]'s Jump Path, Catch Path, and Battle Path courses, resulting in it and Charizard learning the ultimate attacks ({{m|Blast Burn}}, in the latter's case). Afterwards, the two boys' failure to perfect the move's accuracy would come to haunt them in the battle against [[Sird]], [[Carr]], and [[Orm]], and when {{Adv|Deoxys}} appeared, it nearly died shielding Red from the fearsome Pokémon's {{m|Psycho Boost}} attack. It managed to still gather the strength to fight, however, and participated in the battle on the [[Trainer Tower]] against Deoxys' clones (an ability gained after being caught by Giovanni), and then agreed to be traded to Blue again to allow Charizard to fly Red to the evil leader to defeat him. After Giovanni's defeat, Saur was traded back to its owner, but found itself petrified by Sird with the four other [[Pokédex Holder]]s and their Pokémon. It wasn't until {{adv|Emerald}} managed to make a wish upon {{p|Jirachi}} to free them that he regained mobility (over two months later), upon which Saur, with its trusty Frenzy Plant attack, helped destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s fake Kyogre. | In the [[Sevii Islands]], Saur learned the move exclusive to the Grass-type starter families, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, after training on [[Kimberly]]'s Jump Path, Catch Path, and Battle Path courses, resulting in it and Charizard learning the ultimate attacks ({{m|Blast Burn}}, in the latter's case).
