Author Note: This is an AU Pokémon fic. Red, Blue and Green are completely original characters with similar backstories to their respective characters. Well, this'll also have a sequel which includes Kingdom Hearts Academy and New World Order. Enjoy, please review :D

Crimson red eyes stared into the bright abyss of sapphire blue eyes. The fire in the red eyes belonged to the young Pokémon fan, Red. Across from him stood his friend and rival, Blue, and between the young men stood Professor Samuel Oak, Blue's grandfather, keeping the boys apart. Although the boys were close friends, when it came down to wanting something the pair would fight like arch enemies to who gets it and the chance to gloat.

"I want the Charmander," growled Red reaching his hands to try and get the PokeBall containing the small fire Pokémon.

"I want it! It looks so strong!" yelled Blue determined to get the Pokémon he wanted.

"It wouldn't suit you," moaned Red as his strength was failing him and he was becoming tired.

"Is it because you're all about the colour red?" laughed Blue moving away from Oak and Red.

"Well, yeah," laughed Red rubbing the back of his head. Prof. Oak smiled and picked out two PokeBalls from his pockets.

"I have a Squirtle here as well," smiled Oak, offering Blue the water type Pokémon. Blue looked at the PokeBall and threw it in the air. The ball opened and a flash of white light shot to the ground, releasing the small turtle. He knelt down in front of it and rubbed the top of its head. Squirtle looked up to his new trainer and smiled.

Red swiped Charmander's ball from Oak's hand and began walking out of the professor's lab. Blue cleared his throat and Red turned to see his friend.

"Want to battle?" smirked Blue running his hand through his brunet spikes. Red simply nodded and walked out of the lab, walking past his house and straight through to the fields of Route 1.

He threw his PokeBall into the air and the white flash blinded him momentarily. He shielded his eyes and as the light dulled he saw his small Pokémon in front of him.

"You're Charmander?" questioned Red looking at his Pokémon with dismay, "I think I chose the wrong Pokémon."

"You're really going to talk about your Pokémon like that, Red?" questioned a stern voice belonging to Blue, ready to battle his friend.

"I just realised it'll be useless against Pewert and Cerulean Cities Gyms'," moaned Red looking down at Charmander, who'd suddenly began crying.

"You need to begin to trust your Pokémon," growled Blue. Red quickly scooped Charmander into his arms and used his soft gloves to wipe away the tears.

"I'm sorry," said Red, sitting Charmander on the ground and smirking, "Charmander, you ready to go up against Blue and Squirtle." His Pokémon looked up to him and smiled, showing he wanted to fight.

"Regular rules apply," smiled Blue, "Squirtle, use Tackle!" Squirtle quickly dashed towards Charmander with Blue running behind it. Red quickly dodged out the way and ordered his Charmander to quickly move. Charmander dodged the attack and landed on its feet.

"Charmander, quickly use Scratch!" commanded Red, dodging another attack from Blue. Somehow he'd forgotten the rules of battling. In Kanto, during a battle, both the trainer and their single Pokémon battle meaning if either the trainer or their Pokémon loses they both lose.

Blue brought his fist down towards Red after ordering Squirtle to use its Tail Whip attack to lower Charmander's Defence and cause more damage with its Tackle. Red rolled away from Blue and while on the floor he forced his foot into Blue's side, forcing the young man to the ground. Red turned to see Charmander take the brunt force of its opponents Tackle. Charmander was forced back by the attack and rolled beside Red.

"This match is over," sighed Blue, gripping onto his side, aching with the pain from Red's strong kick. Red nodded, flattening his jet black hair down with his hands. He scooped Charmander into his hands and looked at the small Pokémon.

"Sorry you got hurt," said Red, clutching the fire type close to him. He looked around to see Blue return his Squirtle to the PokeBall and walking away from him.

"I'll see you later," groaned Blue. He placed Squirtle's PokeBall into his pocket and walked on with his hands behind his head. Red looked down to see his red body warmer caked in mud and dirt. He sighed when he seen his denim jeans ripped down one leg. He groaned and stood up.

"Let's go home, Charmander," smiled Red walking through Route 1 back to Pallet Town.

When they entered Red's home, the scent of sweet home cooked food wafted into the nostrils of both Red and Charmander. Charmander squealed in excitement as it smelled the food. Red looked down to his Pokémon and laughed lightly.

"That's a sound I haven't heard for a while, Red," laughed a female voice coming from the kitchen.

"Hey, Mom, I got a Pokémon," shouted Red, startling Charmander, "sorry," he soothed, rubbing the fire types head.

"Did you get a Bulbasaur?" squealed his Mom. Red crossed through the living room and into the kitchen where he held up his Pokémon.

"Oh, that's…"

"A Charmander, Mom," laughed Red, clutching his Pokémon close to him again.

"Why did you choose the fire type? I thought you were going to choose the grass type, Bulbasaur," smiled his Mom, turning to continue cooking.

"Someone already picked that one up, but I fought Blue for it and then we had a battle in Route 1," replied Red, petting Charmander's head.

"That would explain the dirty clothes. Go get cleaned up," demanded Red's Mom. Red nodded and placed Charmander on the ground and the pair walked up to Red's room. He quickly cleaned Charmander and gave it a Potion to heal it. He set up a bed for Charmander at the foot of his own and proceeded into the shower.

After he finished showering and getting dressed into a pair of black jeans, a red t-shirt and a black leather jacket. He looked onto his bed to see Charmander sleeping soundly. He scooped the Pokémon into his arms and carried the light starter into the dining area where dinner was set out. He sat down and let Charmander sleep on his lap.

"Mom, I'm going to travel through Kanto," Red said in between mouthfuls.

"Why?" gasped his Mom, startled by the sudden news.

"I want to challenge the Gyms," replied Red wiping his mouth his napkin and placing it on the plate, "I'm leaving today."

"The Gyms? But aren't they dangerous?" questioned his Mom, "if you're leaving tonight, make sure you have enough clothes and food to do you until you get to Viridian City.

"I want to become stronger, challenging the Gym and collecting the badges is the only thing that can make me strong," stated Red, lifting his Pokémon into his arms and walking to his bedroom.

Inside he began throwing things into his bag. He gently shook Charmander out of its sleep. The Pokémon awoke with a loud yawn. Red smiled and petted Charmander's head.

"We're going on a journey," said Red receiving a cry of joy from Charmander. He nodded and slung his bag over his shoulder. The pair walked into the living room where his Mom was waiting with a smile.

"I don't want to lose contact with you, so I got you a PokeGear for your journey," cried his Mom, throwing her arms around his son. Red thanked his Mom and rushed out the door and towards Route 1.

"Charmander, from here on we could be attack by wild Pokémon or challenged by other Pokémon Trainers, you ready for this?" asked Red, looking down to his Pokémon. Charmander looked up to its trainer and cheered in agreement. He nodded down to Charmander and the pair began their journey.
