Hello there!

Welcome to the world of Pokémon.

My name is Oak.

People call me the Pokémon Professor.

This world is inhabited by creatures called pokémon.

For some people, pokémon are pets.

Others use them for fights.

We exist alongside them in many different ways.

Doesn't that sound interesting?

They will guide you to a world full of dreams and adventure.

Now, let's go to the Pokémon world!

Save 1 - Red

Save 1 - Red

Gengar used Double-Edge!

Wow! That's Nidorino's powerful Poison Sting!

Gengar immediately dodges backward!

This battle's still far from over!

Red, are you up?

Red?

Uh, yeah.

Professor Oak told me that he's waiting for you.

You should head over to his lab.

He did?

He said he finished that thing he'd told you about, so hurry—

All right!

Are you okay?

Ow...

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Honestly. Your head's always in the clouds.

Okay, I'm going now!

Finally... Finally, it's my turn!

Blue!

Didn't expect to see you here, Red.

Did Gramps call you too?

Yeah. It's finally done!

Too bad I'm getting it first!

Hold on!

Two can play at that!

Get off me! You're gross!

You're the one pushing up to me!

Aren't you two causing quite the racket?

Gramps!

Professor!

Is it done?

Indeed.

This is a Pokédex.

A Pokédex...

It automatically records data on pokémon you've seen or caught.

It's a hi-tech encyclopedia!

Technology is amazing!

Red, Blue, take these with you.

To make a complete guide on all the pokémon in the world...

That was my dream.

Your dream...

But I'm too old now.

It's difficult to go on a journey to find every pokémon.

So I want you two to fulfill my dream for me.

Will you do it?

Of course!

Gramps, you didn't forget our promise, right?

In return for helping you...

Of course not.

Here I have three pokémon from my research.

Each of you can choose one to take.

The fire pokémon, Charmander.

The water pokémon, Squirtle.

The grass pokémon, Bulbasaur.

Go on and choose whichever you like.

I'm the bigger man, which means I'm not greedy like you.

Go ahead and choose, Red.

Think about it, and make your decision.

No, I've already decided.

Oh, so you pick Charmander?

Yes.

My dad named me Red because he hoped that I would become a man with a spirit burning hot as red flames.

That's why I wanted the pokémon of flames, like my name, from the very beginning.

It's my pokémon!

I see!

Following that logic, Blue,

are you going to choose Squirtle, considering how it fits your name?

Hah! Like I would choose based on such a girly reason.

If Red picks fire, I pick water!

You can give a nickname to your pokémon.

A nickname?

Okay, let's see...

Never mind. Just Charmander is fine.

Red, let's check out our pokémon!

...is what I would say, but who would want their first battle to be with an amateur like you?

You're an amateur too!

I have a different style and motive from you.

This Squirtle is going to help me become the greatest pokémon trainer in the world.

Okay, Gramps! See you later!

Hey, boy, don't forget what I asked of you!

No need to worry! Leave it to me!

My goodness...

He certainly is your grandson.

When I was young, I was a serious pokémon trainer.

Pokémon... trainer...

Okay, Red. I'm counting on you.

Yes sir!

That's a Pidgey.

I choose you, Charmander!

Ember!

Whoa, hold on! Don't fly away!

Huh?

It didn't record any data because I didn't catch it.

We'll get 'em this time!

Charmander, use Growl!

Scratch!

All right!

Okay, another one!

This one too!

Let's have a pokémon battle!

I've never seen that pokémon before.

All right.

Now!

Huh? What?

Nidoran, return!

Dude, you can't steal other people's pokémon.

That's common knowledge!

Huh? You can't?

Then where did you catch that Nidoran?

Well, you beat me, so I guess I'll tell you.

Up ahead is Viridian City, huh?

That was faster than I expected.

You're a slowpoke, so I thought it'd take you a lot longer to get here.

Blue...

Has your pokémon gotten any stronger?

Blue, my goal isn't to become the strongest.

My goal is to complete the Pokédex.

But having strong pokémon will become a necessity when fighting other strong pokémon.

I understand if you're just trying to run away from a battle, though.

What did you say?!

You act like you're so above it all, but you're just afraid of losing.

For the record, I'd never lose to you!

Never!

Fine, let's test that theory! {Fine, I'll take you up on that!}

Squirtle!

Go, Charmander!

Charmander, use Growl!

That's more like a whimper!

Tackle!

Ember!

You missed!

What are you doing?

Dang it. Scratch!

Use Scratch again!

Tackle!

Come on, get up!

Use Ember!

Use Bubble!

Why didn't that work?

That all you got? Bubble!

We can't keep running.

Ember! Use Ember!

We've got him!

Bite!

Oh, no!

Charmander, return!

Wow, you suck!

I didn't know they made trainers that weak.

Or maybe I'm just too good.

I'm awesome!

You can't just attack all the time.

You should learn that.

I-I...

Red, why not just go back to Pallet Town?

If you keep this up, you'll end up destroyed and with no Pokédex to show for it.

You're hopeless.

I don't get it.

Blue and I should have the same amount of experience...

Dang it.

Dang it, dang it, dang it!

No.

The boy with the Squirtle won because he obviously has more experience than you.

Who are you?

Do you know what your pokémon's type and strengths are?

Huh?

First of all, the hearts of you and your pokémon are incompatible.

Incompatible?

No way!

His Squirtle reacted to his instructions very quickly.

It's because it could figure out what he was going to say, isn't it?

They are a trainer and pokémon with connected hearts.

His Squirtle fights that way because it has confidence in its trainer.

Confidence in its trainer...

Pokémon won't become attached to a powerless trainer.

Their strength lies in the experience of their trainer.

Does it?

Okay.

Hold on. Where are you going?

Can't you tell?

I'm going to find every last pokémon trainer and battle them.

Are you going to make that beat-up Charmander of yours fight again?

Taking it to a Pokémon Center should be your top priority.

You're right. I just...

Viridian City's Pokémon Center is the building with the red roof.

Th-Thanks.

If you want to learn the basics of battling, you should look for gym leaders.

Gym leaders?

Gym leaders have a lot of experience in pokémon battles. Learn from them.

However...

"However"?

...they will not lend themselves to someone who isn't serious about learning.

If you feel like dropping by a gym, give it some serious thought.

Think about what pokémon battles mean to you.

What pokémon battles mean to me...

Hm, you're getting there.

If you have more than six pokémon,

they'll automatically be transported to the computer.

Understood.

What's wrong? You don't look well.

Uh, no, I'm fine!

If you say so.

You've got a long road ahead, so take care of yourself.

I will!

Mr. Red, thank you for your patience.

The pokémon you gave us are fighting fit now.

We hope to see you again!

Thank you!

Pewter City...

Have you heard about Gym Leader Brock?

A battle-crazed trainer challenged him and got demolished!

Gym?

Wow!

Don't new challengers enter his gym every day?

Well, Pewter City's gym leader, Brock, is totally famous after all!

Gym... The gym leader!

What? You wanna see Brock?

You're still light years from facing Brock!

I was told that I could learn how to battle from a gym leader.

How long have you had pokémon?

Five days.

Seriously?

As if Brock would wanna waste his time on a newbie like you!

I invited him here.

Huh? You did, Brock?

Y-You're Brock?

Don't talk like that to a gym leader!

Yes, I am Pewter City's gym leader, Brock.

What's your name?

Red.

Do you have an answer for me yet?

Honestly, I don't.

But I...

No, because I don't, I had to come here.

Very well.

Do you have any badges?

Badges?

Uh, no, I don't have any.

I see. Then...

I will face you with these two.

Two...

I specialize in rock-type pokémon.

All right! Let's do this!

Ember!

Scratch!

By now, Blue had already counterattacked.

I need to watch how they move...

Well? Charmander is getting restless.

If you won't attack, I will! Tackle!

You were too slow, and let it take damage.

Argh. Scratch!

He isn't doing much damage.

Keep using Scratch!

You haven't learned a thing.

Huh?

I asked if you knew about pokémon's types and strengths.

Each pokémon type has effectiveness.

Effectiveness?

Fire-types aren't very effective against rock-types.

You can see that, can't you?

Okay, sure, but...

That's not your only pokémon, is it?{I hope you don't have only one pokémon.}

What?

If you fight using only that Charmander, you can't expect to beat any rock-types.

Oh.

Pokémon may also attack while switching in.

It's a frontal attack.

Charmander, return!

Nidoran!

Double Kick!

It's super effective!

All right!

I beat a rock-type!

Return, Geodude!

Onix!

A-Another rock-type?

I told you that I'm a rock-type master!

Double Kick!

Bide!

Bide prevents Onix from attacking even if it's hit by your Double Kick.

But why?

If it gets hit again, won't it take damage?

I'm sure Onix can handle it.

I believe in it.

Believe in it...

Double Kick!

I-It's still standing!

Good work, Onix!

Now give it back double!

Return, Nidoran!

Any damage sustained during Bide is inflicted twice over on the opponent afterward!

You're up now, Spearow!

Return, Spearow!

Rattata!

Return, Rattata!

It's way too fast.

Metapod, String Shot!

That'll slow it down!

Don't get tied up!

Brock is...

He's really getting into it!

String Shot!

Tackle!

Return, Metapod!

You're all that's left.

Well? Have you realized what pokémon battles are about?

To think... that we'd both get this fired up...

But why?

It feels like I'm taking just as much damage as them.

I get it now!

Pokémon aren't tools to use in battles.

They're our partners!

I fight alongside my pokémon!

How could I not have realized that sooner?

We have the same amount of HP left.

The next attack will determine the victor.

Whoever moves quicker will win.

Let's go!

Scratch!

Tackle!

Their speed is the same!

Is it a tie?

No way. How?

Metapod's string...

I thought it broke, but I guess there was a little bit left.

It caused Onix to be a moment too late.

Well done!

I... won!

That guy got Brock so into it, and he even won...

He's not bad.

This is for you.

It's proof that you defeated me—the Boulder Badge.

Brock, um...

Thank you so much!

You've taken your first step on the path to become a pokémon trainer.

It won't be a walk in the park.

I'll give you this too.

It's TM34.

TM?

It contains the move you saw: Bide.

If you use that, your pokémon will also learn Bide.

Thank you!

Let's meet again.

Sure!

Brock, why did you immediately battle him?

I thought it would be fun

to battle someone who told me he didn't have an answer.

Professor, is there any particular reason you chose Red to do this for you?

Ever since he was little, he's been clumsy, and he's always hated to lose.

But he's honest, and it'll do him well to grow with others' ideas around him.

I know he can become a great pokémon trainer.

If only Blue could grow in the same way Red does.

He's so talented that he gets too full of himself.

I'll become stronger and stronger!

Then I'll fulfill Professor Oak's dream...

and make a complete Pokédex!
