'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the protagonist of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. He is based on {{ga|Red}} from the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}. His full name is '''Isamu Akai''' (Japanese: '''赤井 勇''' ''Isamu Akai''), which contains the Japanese word for "red" ('''赤''' ''aka'').

 

Later, he went with Clefairy to [[Viridian Forest]] in order to accomplish his goal. Both of them get hungry in the middle and Red ran off to get him and Clefairy some coconuts. Red and Clefairy finish their coconuts and continue their journey. Red encountered a {{p|Mewtwo}} along with various wild Pokémon there in different appearances, such as the three-eyed {{p|Persian}}, who end up laughing at the young Trainer. Red battled Mewtwo using Clefairy but Clefairy attacked an unknown {{type|Bug}} instead of Mewtwo. As the creature was weakened, Red threw a Poké Ball at it and caught it. With the creature caught, Red targetted Mewtwo as his next capture and was determined to capture it. Due to his inexperience with catching Pokémon, Red just throws a bunch of Poké Balls which all bounce off of Mewtwo. Red then used Clefairy to battle it but it was easily able to defeat Clefairy by kicking him off a cliff. Red went off to the Pokémon Center, promising revenge with the forest Pokémon. Red met up with Green briefly while Clefairy was put inside a healing tank. Both Trainers compare their amount of captures to each other with Green being the victor. During Clefairy's operation, Red's Poké Ball containing the unknown Bug-type drops as the treatment got disrupted earlier. The unknown Bug-type gets released with Red chasing after it.

Red arrived in Pewter City and did some sightseeing. He stopped by an ice cream shop to tell Clefairy about a way to get stronger. Clefairy got excited about this and followed Red to the Pewter Gym. Outside the Gym, Red noticed that Green was easily beaten. Red and Clefairy meet [[Brock]] who tells them that they'll be an easy challenge and heads inside the Gym. Red goes inside and tours around Brock's collection. During the Gym Battle, Red used Clefairy against [[Brock's Onix]] when Clefairy noticed his cousin trapped. Red won when Clefairy drew a picture of himself on Onix's tail and then smashes a falling pillar on it. Red is rewarded the {{badge|Boulder}} and the {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} from Brock's collection which was Clefairy's cousin that was trapped. Pikachu was willing to join Red on his adventures and zapped him, which did not make Red happy.

 

After the Gym battle, Red camped out and learned of a Moon Stone from Clefairy in order to properly evolve him. He went to Cerulean City to get the Moon Stone that [[Misty]] had. However, in order to do that, he had to battle her. He did so using his Clefairy and managed to defeat her {{p|Blastoise}}. With the battle won, Misty rewarded him the Moon Stone but a {{p|Mew}} flew off with it. Red chased after it and Green joined him since he wanted to find Mew himself. Red and Green arrive at an abandoned water mill. Inside, Red and the others notice a secret room that Pikachu found hidden under the floorboards which contained a hidden laboratory. A man in the form of a leopard named [[Bill]] appears and introduces himself to Red and the gang. Bill's wife, who was the Mew and the one responsible for taking the Moon Stone explains to them about how one of the experiments caused them to be that way forever. Red and the group watch Bill and his wife change back into humans thanks to the Moon Stone and one of the machines. However, Bill's human appearance was too hideous for Red and Green so they ran away from him and the lab.

In ''[[PM006|Great Success in the Mountains or the Seas!?]]'', Red got into a fight with Clefairy over a [[rice ball]] which landed in [[Diglett's Cave]]. The trio went inside the cave and get trapped by a {{p|Diglett}}'s {{m|earthquake}}. Luckily for Red, his Pikachu was able to use his electrical powers to light up itself and the trio made their way out of the cave. They went to the [[Vermilion City]] Pokémon Center. Red noticed Green by a computer, getting his Pokédex evaluated by Professor Oak. In contrast to Red catching only three Pokémon, Green caught 50. As a result, Red gets punched by a boxing glove coming from the computer for punishment of his lack of progress. He left the Pokémon Center and went to a fishing spot. He bought an Old Rod for 350 yen. While fishing, the group hear a voice from the [[S.S. Anne]] and some people nearby tell him that his name is [[Lt. Surge]]. Red went onboard the ship, thinking how he could use the 500 Pokémon Lt. Surge caught to complete the Pokédex. Instead, Lt. Surge wanted to take Red's Pokémon to add to the collection. As a result, both of the battle. Unfortunately, Clefairy accidentally whacked Lt. Surge's {{p|Electrode}} in the ship's cannons, causing the ship to explode.

In ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'', Red ran to a mansion to get shelter from the rain. Red got scared by the eerie atmosphere in the mansion. A {{p|Gastly}} appeared and Red battled it with Clefairy. Red warned Clefairy about Gastly's {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotism}}. Clefairy's attacks had little to no effect on Gastly, as it caused damage to himself. Seeing that his strategy wasn't working, Clefairy ran off and got a giant Buddha statue, which scared off Gastly. Two people, who are the parents of a {{PPM|Blue|boy}} living in the mansion, come in and tell Red and his Pokémon about their son, Blue. They want Red to get rid of the {{type|Ghost}} residing in the mansion so Blue can become happy again. Red became annoyed at the offer when Blue's parents told them about going back outside in the rain and thunder if they refused the offer. The group were about to leave until Blue's father pleaded with them to come back. The group decide to help and go upstairs where they went to Blue's room. Blue in his cold and dark look told Red that he used Ghost Pokémon. When Red told him that he came to get rid of them, they had a battle. Like before, Red warned Clefairy about {{p|Haunter}} using hypnotism. Despite Haunter successfully hypnotizing Clefairy, Haunter accidentally slammed itself against a wall. Even though Red had the upper hand, Haunter's evolution into {{p|Gengar}}, caused Clefairy problems. Using the [[Silph Scope]] that Clefairy stole from Blue, Red was able to defeat him. Despite getting rid of the Ghost Pokémon, the impact of the battle caused Blue's item collection to get destroyed, much to Blue's ire.

From this point forward, he continued his travels with his Pokémon encountering Gym Leaders.

After competing in the Pokémon League, Red returned home to Pallet Town.

He continues his journey in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]], the sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in Hoenn. Red meets some monks who accuse Clefairy of stealing dumplings. As they found the real thief, a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, Red goes searching for it and during the middle of the search, Clefairy destroys the monks's {{wp|taiko}}. During the parade, Red watches on as Clefairy became the taiko substitute. In Littleroot Town, he reunites with Professor Birch at a fishing lodge and challenges him to various contests, in which Professor Birch wins them all.

In Petalburg City, Red meets a depressed Norman who was drinking a lot and Norman reveals to him that his {{p|Slakoth}} became {{a|Truant|lazy}} and swallowed the {{badge|Balance}}. Clefairy falls in a deep sleep and Red tries to wake up Clefairy by yelling into him. As Clefairy fell asleep, Slakoth woke up and became energetic. Red watched on as Slakoth prevented Clefairy from getting the badge. With the Balance Badge taken out of Slakoth's body, Red and his Pokémon get chased out of the Gym.

Red returned to Johto in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}. He competed in the Pokéathlon where Professor Elm and his Sudowoodo were in charge of. During the Pokéathlon, Red's Pokémon does some various competitions there.

He rechallenged the Johto Gyms collecting badges.

 

Red waved goodbye to Tyrogue while Tyrogue stayed behind with the [[Hitmons]].

Red went to the [[Unova]] region in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} where he was riding a bike with his Pokémon and crashed. They get back up and noticed some Pokémon they haven't seen before. A {{p|Patrat}} goes up to them and tells them that they are in Unova. Patrat advises the trio to go to [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab and run off when Clefairy gave it a tiny berry despite hoarding a pile of bigger berries. Inside the lab, Professor Juniper congratulated Red for being the thirtieth person to come to her lab for being a Trainer. As Professor Juniper brought out a box containing {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, Red wondered which one he wanted but did not get a chance to choose as those three were already reserved {{ga|Hilbert|for}} [[Bianca|three]] [[Cheren|Trainers]]. Professor Juniper tells him that he already has an adorable Pikachu. However, Red and Clefairy attempt to get Professor Juniper to change her mind but Professor Juniper saw what they were doing and did not work. Red and his Pokémon leave the lab after Clefairy gets beaten up easily by the Unova starters. In the forest, the trio became disappointed about Professor Juniper not giving them a Pokémon but Red stated that he'll have to find some new ones himself. Red goes to a restaurant in [[Striaton City]] as Clefairy suggested to him to go there. He meets the three waiters, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] who were also the Gym Leaders of the [[Striaton Gym]]. As Clefairy failed to get the brothers to fight each other, they challenged Red to a Gym Battle where Cilan went first by using {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, followed by Cress and Chili with {{p|Panpour}} and {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} respectively. As the three use their attacks, Clefairy made some tea using their attacks.

Red battles a {{p|Darmanitan}} using Pikachu and as Red had trouble knowing what he said, the battle could not be finished since Darmanitan's Trainer had to go watch [[Team Plasma]] give out a speech. As Red still had trouble knowing what Pikachu told him, [[N]] comes by and told him what Pikachu was actually saying. Red then tried proving himself that he could understand Pokémon language similar to N by having Pikachu speak slower but that did not work. Red uses Clefairy's tape that he recorded of N talking to a Purrloin and Red was able to understand what Pikachu was saying. As Clefairy sold copies of his CD containing N's speech, Red and Pikachu became shocked about that. However, it did not work out when Clefairy woke up from his dream.
