Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Oak intends to give Red an {{p|Eevee}}, but Blue takes it. Red is forced to start with a {{p|Pikachu}} that Oak caught on Route 1 earlier. The Pikachu refuses to stay in its [[Poké Ball]] and insists on following Red around. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. It is also possible he had a {{p|Pikachu}}. Depending on the Pokemon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the pokemon that has a type-advantage over it. It is also possible for Blue to start out with an {{p|Eevee}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.


After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey, defeating a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and [[Team Rocket trio|a pair]] of Team Rocket agents named [[Jessie]] and [[James]], all of who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]]; a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Jessie and James. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.
