{{main|Red, Green & Blue arc (Adventures)}}

The first arc of Pokémon Adventures, much like the first games, chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region. Later, a third Trainer, {{adv|Green}}, is added into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal acts. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{adv|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the end, Red defeats Blue in the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] and becomes a [[Pokémon Champion]].

{{main|Yellow arc (Adventures)}}

Two years after Red obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], he disappears after leaving to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One month later, {{adv|Professor Oak}} discovers Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young Trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The Trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims to be a friend of Red who wishes to look for him with Pika. While Professor Oak is still skeptical about Yellow, especially of the [[Viridian Forest]] native's ability to heal Pokémon and sense their emotions just by touching them, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young Trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret, as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]], who are the ones responsible for Red's disappearance and plan to rid the world of most of humanity in order to create a utopia for Pokémon. The final confrontation against the Elite Four takes place at their base on [[Cerise Island]], with Yellow, finally revealed to be the girl that Red saved in the forest, taking on their leader, the {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon user [[Lance]].

{{main|Gold, Silver & Crystal arc (Adventures)}}

As peace is returning to Kanto, new journeys and happenings are beginning in another region, [[Johto]]. {{adv|Gold}} is enjoying his normal life with his family Pokémon, who have been with him since birth, until he runs into a Pokémon thief at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. As he goes on a journey of chasing the thief, {{adv|Silver}}, with a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]] from Professor Elm's laboratory and a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak, he stumbles upon the secret plots of the [[Masked Man]], the enigmatic leader of [[Neo Team Rocket]]. At the same time, Professor Oak sends out a "Pokémon Capture Professional," {{adv|Crystal}}, on a journey of completing the Pokédex. She gets involved in [[Eusine]]'s plans to capture {{p|Suicune}} and tries to do so herself. Soon after, she also gets involved with the plots of Masked Man, who is apparently after the two of Johto's Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. When it is discovered that the Masked Man is actually a [[Gym Leader]], an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition tournament}} between Kanto and Johto's Gym Leaders is held at Indigo Plateau to uncover the culprit. Meanwhile, the Masked Man plans to capture {{adv|Celebi|time itself}} for his ultimate plan and recover something he once lost.

{{main|Ruby & Sapphire arc (Adventures)}}

Things have just settled down in Kanto and Johto, but another new region comes on screen. A boy named {{adv|Ruby}} has barely completed a move to [[Hoenn]], when he runs away from home to participate in [[Pokémon Contest]]s against [[Norman|his father]]'s wishes. He meets a wild-natured girl named {{adv|Sapphire}}, and together, they make a bet to conquer all the Pokémon Contests and [[Gym]]s in Hoenn, respectively, within the span of 80 days. Just like their counterparts in Kanto and Johto, they encounter two evil organizations, the land-favoring [[Team Magma]] and sea-favoring [[Team Aqua]]. Team Aqua steals [[Devon Parts|an important component]] from [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], while Team Magma steals the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] from [[Stern's Shipyard]]. Team Aqua also uses the [[Meteorite|Grand Meteor]] to make [[Mt. Chimney]] dormant, disrupting the balance of nature. Eventually, Ruby and Sapphire join forces to clash with the evil team leaders [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] and quell the ancient Pokémon {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} before their weather powers destroy all of Hoenn.

{{main|FireRed & LeafGreen arc (Adventures)}}

This arc continues the series, featuring Red and Blue as they are forced to explore the [[Sevii Islands]] to look for Professor Oak, who has been kidnapped by Team Rocket. Meanwhile, Green has finally located [[Green's parents|her parents]], but as she is about to meet them, they get swallowed up by a mysterious black hole after a {{adv|Deoxys}} attacks them. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of former foe [[Lorelei]], the {{t|Psychic}} mutant Mewtwo, and a mysterious old lady named [[Ultima]], while confronting the devastatingly powerful Three Beasts of Team Rocket; [[Sird]], [[Carr]], and [[Orm]]. Back in Kanto, {{adv|Silver}} is seeking his family as well, with the help of {{adv|Yellow}}, and is shocked to discover that his father is none other than the Team Rocket Boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, who has been searching for him for years.

{{main|Emerald arc (Adventures)}}

The grand opening of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when a young Trainer named {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. However, even with a seemingly unmatched ability in battling and access to every Pokémon that Crystal has ever caught, [[Guile Hideout]], the mysterious armored stranger who attacks [[Noland]] and is seeking {{adv|Jirachi}}, may be more of a worry than they first thought, especially if he catches Jirachi before Emerald can.

They join her, believing she is their tour guide for a trip to [[Mount Coronet]]. But these misunderstandings mark the start of their Pokémon journeys.
