'''Pokédex holder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン図鑑所有者''', ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia owner''), known as '''Pokédex owner''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is the term used by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} to describe a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that has been given a [[Pokédex]]. These Trainers are often very gifted in one particular area, dubbed each's "special skill" by Professor Oak to the ones who received a Pokédex from him. Most of these Trainers have [[starter Pokémon]] from their regional [[Pokémon Professor]]s, though most already owned or trained Pokémon prior to receiving them.

The Pokédex holders have become a very tight knit group with many of them bonding with their cohorts in their regional adventures and later with their seniors and juniors. In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} the holders from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] grouped to fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the {{chap|Emerald}}, the 10 first Pokédex holders reunited at the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]] to fight against [[Guile Hideout]].

Blue Oak is the grandson of Professor Oak and was the first to receive a Pokédex. His Pokédex was first seen in [[Viridian Forest]], where Blue was seen using it to gather data on the Pokémon he was catching. During a battle against a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, he pulled his Pokédex and noticed that Red was also given one by his grandfather. This was much to his disdain, as he knew others also received Pokédexes, but not a Trainer like Red. In the ''FireRed & LeafGreen'' chapter, his Pokédex got destroyed along with Green's, but was later replaced by an upgraded Pokédex.

Through tough {{pkmn|training}}, Blue increases the [[level]] of his Pokémon, making them apt to dispute in battles against the best Trainers, even using the ones he raised from scratch. Due to his skill, he is defined as the '''Trainer''' (Japanese: '''育てる者''' ''Trainer'').

Yellow showed up in Professor Oak's Lab after seeing a hurt [[Pika]] to find out Red's whereabouts. The Professor refused to let Yellow go with Pika and attacked with his {{p|Spearow}}. Yellow then ordered [[Dody]] to counter in such a way that neither Pokémon was hurt. Impressed by the connection with her Pokémon and their trust in Yellow, the Professor decided that he should also trust Yellow and gives her Red's Pokédex to deliver to him. By the end of the fifth chapter, Red, Blue and Green had received upgraded Pokédexes. Since Blue's and Green's were destroyed by {{adv|Deoxys}}, Red's Pokédex was the only one still working; Red gave this Pokédex to Yellow while she was unconscious.
