After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City, he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier. He tells Red that he believes from a picture he took that Saffron City is Team Rocket's hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he should be the only one to save him, and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who, instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which Blue refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]], Koga traps him too. Blue reveals that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt the ice. Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and [[Thu-Fi-Zer]], and, after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Thu-Fi-Zer is split.

Here, it is revealed that in the past, Blue became one of [[Gurkinn]]'s disciples in learning the art of [[Mega Evolution]]. Blue first appears in the twelfth chapter at [[Geosenge Town]], watching the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} end in a ceasefire due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength. As Xerneas and its allies leave the area, he wonders if the battle between the two Pokémon could end if "Z" truly exists. Blue meets with [[Diantha]], an old acquaintance of his from his earlier trip to Kalos. Blue reveals to Diantha that he was told of Xerneas and Yveltal's awakening and is currently searching for "Z", which is the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Zygarde}}. After Diantha agrees to help Blue on his quest, the two set off to search for clues.

|desc={{p|Scizor}} was Blue's first Pokémon, and trained with him since childhood as a {{p|Scyther}}. He has a Docile nature and knows a variety of [[Generation II]] moves due to its training under [[Chuck]] when Blue was his student.}}

|desc={{p|Charizard}} is the Pokémon Blue received from his grandfather, {{adv|Professor Oak}}, as a {{p|Charmander}}. He was taught the powerful {{m|Blast Burn}} technique in the [[Sevii Islands]]. Like most of Blue's Pokémon, he has a stern personality. He debuted in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a battle against {{p|Mew}}. He evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} sometime between ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', and debuted again in his current form in ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]''. In the {{chap|X & Y}}, Charizard is revealed to have gained the ability to Mega Evolve.}}

|desc={{p|Golduck}} is one of Blue's main team members. Blue uses this Pokémon's psychic ability to see things he can't see and "talk" to people without talking, all through the Pokédex. Other than battling, Blue uses him to {{m|Surf}}. He has a Serious nature.}}

|desc={{p|Machamp}} is one of Blue's original main team members. He evolved from {{p|Machoke}} under Red's care due to the accidental trade that occurred between the two. He has a Bashful nature. Machamp's four arms were always useful in battles where Blue needed its superpower the most, doing much damage to Red's [[Snor]] in both the fights he had with it, even managing to faint it once.}}

|desc={{p|Porygon}} is a Pokémon Blue won at the [[Celadon City]] Game Corner. It later evolved into {{p|Porygon2}} prior to the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, and proved to be very useful during the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. Porygon2 has a Quirky [[nature]].}}

|desc={{p|Rhyperior}} was captured by Blue as a {{p|Rhydon}}. In the Indigo League preliminary rounds, Rhydon was used against Chuck, Blue's former teacher. Despite being recently captured, Blue quickly trained Rhydon to a high level with a combination of his abilities and a book written by {{adv|Giovanni}} called ''Secret Earth Arts'', which contained detailed information on {{type|Ground}} Pokémon that only the former [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]] knew of. With these, Blue managed to defeat Chuck with Rhydon alone despite the type disadvantage, earning a win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter, Rhydon was traded to Silver to replace his missing {{p|Ursaring}}. With the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}} it held, Rhydon evolved into Rhyperior and stayed with him throughout the entire chapter. Sometime before the X & Y chapter, Silver returned Rhyperior to Blue.}}

|desc=Poli (ニョロ ''Nyoro'') is a {{p|Poliwrath}} who was accidentally switched to Blue in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. However, he was later returned to Red.}}

|desc=Saur (フッシー ''Fusshī'') was accidentally switched to Blue in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'' as an {{p|Ivysaur}}. He was returned to Red later. Saur was once again traded to Blue, as a {{p|Venusaur}} this time, in exchange for Blue's Charizard in Trainer Tower in the FireRed LeafGreen chapter. Saur was once again traded back to Red in exchange for Charizard in Vermilion City at the end of the chapter.}}

|desc=Pika (ピカ ''Pika'') is a {{p|Pikachu}} who was accidentally switched to Blue in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. However, he was later returned to Red.}}

|desc='''{{p|Gyarados|Gyara}}''' (Jp: '''ギャラ''' ''Gyara'') was traded to {{Adv|Red}} in the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter for [[Blue's Charizard]] so that Red could use him to fly to Mt. Silver. He was later returned to Red.}}

|desc=Blue borrowed {{p|Zapdos}} from {{adv|Green}} when things got rough. He gave it back to her when things were back to normal. Green returned it in its Poké Ball and it was not seen again.

==Badges obtained==

Unlike Red, Blue has not made it a priority to win all the Gym Badges, only winning one of them.

 

* {{Badge|Boulder}} (''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'')

* Blue and {{adv|Green}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters whose names were changed for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases, where in Japan, Red Version was paired with Green Version (leaving Blue as the third), and in the rest of the world, Red was paired with Blue (while there was no Green). This name change is present in both the [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] translations. His {{ga|Blue|game counterpart}} is also named Blue in the English translation of [[Generation II]]'s games.

** A panel in the original VIZ printing of [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume 3]] forgets to make this change, however. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and {{adv|Green}} is identified as "BLUE". This error was still present in the compilation volume [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]], but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.

* Although {{adv|Silver}} is the Pokédex holder whose special skill is Pokémon [[Trade|trading]], Blue tops out the roster amongst the holders with four Pokémon that have evolved via trade. They are his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}}, {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}, {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}}, and {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}}. Additionally, his Porygon2 is capable of evolving another time with trade. Meanwhile, the other Pokémon evolving via trade owned by other protagonists are Silver's {{p|Kingdra}}, Gold's [[Polibo|Politoed]], and Yellow's {{p|Golem}}.

* Blue is one of four Pokédex holders to have a known surname; the other three are {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Platinum}}, and {{adv|Y}}.

** Out of the four, he is the only male.
