NB: I don't own Pokémon.
Pokémon Master Red had it all. A team of six trustworthy Pokémon, a loyal apprentice, a huge villa on the Sevii Islands, and a loving girlfriend. He couldn't have wished for more.
His time was spent showing rookie trainers the ropes, and helping experienced trainers grow ever stronger. He would source out Mega Stones and Z-Rings for trainers worldwide.
However, one thing was still bothering him. Whatever happened to Giovanni?
Red decided he wouldn't dwell on that at that precise moment, as he was due to train with Ethan, Blue and Leaf.
He got up from his massage chair and headed over to the 'Champ De Bataille,' a name he used after his best friend Blue had been to the Kalos region with his wife Lilac.
"…" said Red.
"Let's get this started!" yelled Ethan. "I want everything you've got, Red Sangria!"
Ethan excitedly spun his Poke Ball several times and revealed his Ariados. Red, in kind, sent out his Primeape.
Ariados used Sticky Web, only just getting it in before a Fire Punch was administered to it, instantly knocking it out.
"Oh. Guess I've got a bit of work to do." muttered Ethan.
"Anyway, how did your Primeape use Fire Punch? You didn't say a word!"
At this point Red did something surprising.
"Eye contact."
"Woah! You can TALK? You haven't done that since we were 11!" yelled Blue.
"Yes, I can." Red continued.
"Then why didn't you?"
"It was all part of an elaborate prank, just because." said Red.
"You honestly managed to keep it up for 14 years?" asked Leaf sceptically.
"Precisely, Leaf. Oh, the phone's ringing. I'd better go and answer it."
"Hello." A girl's voice echoed. "I'd like a bit of help, please."
