Red is sometimes slow to pick up on sensitive matters. He is the last of the original seven [[Pokédex holder]]s to learn of {{adv|Yellow}}'s true gender.

===Prior to {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===

 

==={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===

In this arc, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red is first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mention {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they leave. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the [[Snor]]lax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the {{Badge|Boulder}} and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon hearing some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s mentioning her, Red infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[Fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that [[Pewter Museum of Science]] is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The Grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an [[Aero]]dactyl and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

==={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===

At the beginning of the second arc, two years after the end of the previous arc, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the arc, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===

[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|250px|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third arc]]

Red first appears in the ''Gold, Silver & Crystal'' arcs in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'' when {{adv|Gold}} sees him in a photo at the {{pkmn|Day Care}} Center showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.

==={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===

[[File:Red FRLG Chapter Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Red in the ''FireRed & LeafGreen'' arc]]

From this arc onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{adv|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, [[The Three Beasts]], as well as Deoxys, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, {{adv|Professor Oak}} has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

[[File:Red E Chapter Adventures.png|thumb||145px|left|Red in the ''Emerald'' arc]]

{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the [[Team Rocket airship]] hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of The Three Beasts, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the airship and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the airship. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the airship from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the arc, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===

Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this arc, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the arc that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the [[Battle Dome]] tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===

Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.

In this arc, Red gets a call from Bill, who informs him that the Ruby and Sapphire shards that were taken from Team Rocket have begun transforming into [[Colored orbs|Orbs]]. Fearing something may happen, Bill asks Red to come over to help him with the shards. When Red, Green, and Daisy arrive at Bill's cottage, they find that Bill has been attacked. Bill reveals that two men attacked him and stole the Orbs and his boat. Red and Green leave Bill in Daisy's care while they use a tracking device to find the thieves.

They travel to the Hoenn region and catch up with the thieves, who are revealed to be [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. Overhearing their plans to use the Orbs for some purpose, Red and Green decide to battle Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and take the Orbs back. When Maxie and Archie start the battle by using [[Mega Evolution]] to power up their Pokémon, Red and Green counter by using their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Red and Green eventually manage to defeat their opponents, but are startled by the appearance of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] forms. With its increased power Groudon easily defeats Red and Green by smashing them under a pile of rubble.

Afterward, Red and Green awaken inside a building, where they find that their belongings and Poké Balls have been taken away. There, they meet [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}}, who also had their stuff taken. The person responsible reveals himself to be Giovanni, who had taken the four aboard the Team Rocket airship. He reveals to them that he intends on helping stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]].

Later, Red and others travel to [[Sootopolis City]], where they find Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald discussing a plan to destroy the meteoroid. Red's group demonstrates that despite not being in a battle, activating Mega Evolution is still possible. With this revelation, Giovanni speculates that the meteoroid may actually be a Pokémon from space. Green then suggests that they gather allies from around Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto so that they may combine the power of their Pokémon to help slow down the meteoroid.

In ''[[PS403|Cleaning Up Grimer]]'', when {{adv|Diamond}} was calling [[Johanna|his mother]] after he ended up on a [[Team Galactic]] aircraft heading to [[Veilstone City]], he told her not to worry, and referred to the heroics of the members of [[Proteam Omega]], which were based on Red's team.

In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Red was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].

In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', at the [[Spear Pillar]], Sird told the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s about how she escaped from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver by turning them into stone with her {{p|Darkrai}}.

===On hand===

|desc='''{{p|Venusaur|Saur}}''' (Japanese: '''フッシー''' ''Fusshī'') is Red's second main Pokémon. Saur was given to Red as a {{p|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' by {{adv|Professor Oak}} after seeing the two defeat a {{p|Machoke}} they encountered at the [[Viridian Gym]]. In ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', he evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} after a battle with a {{p|Primeape}} and Venusaur during the final battle against Team Rocket in the [[Silph Co.]] building in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]''. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Saur is revealed to have gained the ability to Mega Evolve. He is level 84, has a Gentle [[nature]], and his [[Characteristic]] is "somewhat stubborn."}}

|desc=This {{p|Diglett}} (Japanese: '''ディグ''' ''Dig'') is a minor Pokémon that Red caught after he and Blue accidentally switched Pokémon in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. So far, he has only used him while battling Eevee in [[PS019|the following chapter]] when he thought Eevee was an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, but then Eevee changed into {{p|Vaporeon}} and defeated him. He is level 33, has a Docile [[nature]], and his [[Characteristic]] is "scatters things often."

{{p|Nidoking}}'s only known move is {{m|Mega Punch}}.<br/>

Some of the {{p|Victreebel}}'s known moves are {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Poison Powder}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}}{{tt|*|Mentioned only}}, {{m|Stun Spore}}{{tt|*|Mentioned only}}, and {{m|Swallow}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}} and their Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.<br/>

Some of the {{p|Weepinbell}}'s known moves are {{m|Wring Out}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}} and their Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.<br/>

|desc=The first time Red had {{adv|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] was when it was still a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and the two rivals accidentally switched their Pokémon in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. Later, in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{p|Charizard}} was temporarily traded for [[Gyara]] so that Red could use it to fly to [[Mt. Silver]]. He was also temporarily traded for [[Saur]] during the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.}}

|desc=Red caught a {{p|Krabby}} (Japanese: '''クラ''' ''Cra'') along with his {{p|Diglett}} when he had {{cat|Blue's Pokémon}} in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. Like Diglett, he used her in [[PS019|the following]] chapter to battle [[Vee|Eevee]] when he thought Eevee was a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, but then Eevee turned to {{p|Jolteon}} and attacked with an {{t|Electric}} attack. In ''[[PS025|You Know...Articuno!]]'', [[Misty]] gave Red her [[Gyara]]dos in exchange for his Krabby. She has been seen with Misty several times since.

Krabby's known moves are {{m|Vise Grip}}, {{m|Crabhammer}}, and {{m|Guillotine}}.}}

[[File:Red Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Red's seven [[Kanto]] Gym [[Badge]]s]]

Red only has seven of the eight Kanto Gym Badges. Although he [[PS038|defeated]] {{adv|Giovanni}} at [[Viridian Gym]], he never obtained the {{Badge|Earth}}. He also did not battle each Gym Leader, sometimes receiving a Badge from another Trainer.

* {{Badge|Soul}} (''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''; received from {{adv|Blue}})

* {{Badge|Marsh}} (''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''; received from {{adv|Green}})
