Prologue

Hello! My name is Dte102, you can call me Dets if you want. This is my first fanfiction! I saw the amount of BurningLeaf Fanfictions out there and only a few I liked, due to them not showing Red's true nature and making him lovey dovey kinda personality. This is my take on making a BurningLeaf Fanfiction. So please, don't be to hard on the reviews but I'll gladly accept critism. Anyways, enjoy the story!


Red was surprised. He was never expecting such a trainer to come and challenge him. As Red looked at him, the kid was wearing black shorts, a red jacket, and had a gold hat. He looked about the age of 12, and apparently his name was Ethan. Ethan didn't come alone, he brought a long a friend, it was a girl by the name of Lyra; she had blue suspenders, a red shirt underneath, a white hat, and was wearing pigtails.

Red was contemplating if they were a couple or not, until Ethan yelled out the words in the freezing blizzard.

"Champion Red! I've come here to challenge you to a pokemon battle!"

Red was surprise, as this was his first challenger in a long time. Ever since a year back when Lance decided to try and battle him again for the position of the new champion. Lance lost, and Red decided to put Lance as the temporary champion while he was out training. Red was also thinking that this should be a big challenge, since after all; it's pretty hard to climb Mt. Silver, with all the strong pokemon and narrow ledges. Red himself was almost killed by the mountain himself, but he conquered it with the help of his pokemon.

Red was silent, but he tipped his hat in reply, as if saying "I accept."

The battle started and went on. Each trainer had an intense stare, surveying the battlefield and looking for openings. Lyra was cheering on for Ethan, while Red was thinking deeply, planning out his moves. The battle went on until he was down to his last pokemon, his beloved Pikachu. Ethan was also down to his last pokemon, his Typhlosion. Both were fairly tired and Red knew that his Pikachu wouldn't last any longer. Red then said in a low voice "…Volt Tackle". His Pikachu complied and was speeding off. Red then heard Ethan call out to his Typhlosion, "Typhlosion! Counter with flame wheel!" Red saw the pokemon curl into a ball, and then, the ball turned into a ball of fire and sped head on towards his Pikachu. Red knew that this was the turning point of the battle, whichever pokemon held out after this collision, was to be the victor. Both pokemon sped as fast as the speed of sound, and when they both collided, there was a huge explosion and lots of smoke.

The smoke cleared, showing Pikachu and Typhlosion both still standing. Then, Pikachu slumped onto the cold snow. Red saw Ethan's eye glow and Lyra then jumped for joy. Ethan was the victor of this battle. Red started to take this information in, and then, for once in a long time, Red smiled. He looked at the two trainers jumping for joy, and then he thought to himself.

"So it's finally over…"

He then walked down the mountain, Ethan and Lyra was surprised and tried to follow him, but he disappeared into the blizzard. Red made his way down the mountain to the pokemon center. Nurse Joy was surprise, as she rarely saw the Champion Red at the pokemon center, and when he did, she tried her best to keep his pokemon in tip top shape. After Nurse Joy healed his pokemon, Red sent out his Charizard. And under his breath, ordered his pokemon to fly towards Pallet Town. It took a few hours, but Red saw the familiar small town up ahead, and he saw his small house, just like it was before he left on his journey. Red felt a pang of homesickness when he saw the tiny house in the sky.

As Charizard landed, he returned him to his pokeball and proceeded to open the door to his house. He saw the familiar sight, his mom sitting in a chair watching T.V. His Mom said,

"Oh it's you again, well you're free to stay here, I've got stories….."

His Mom looked to see who had entered the house, and her eyes welled up with tears, her beloved son Red has returned home.

"I'm home." Said Red,

his Mother ran up as fast as she can and hug him and he hug her back. Then she proceeded to bombard him with questions, but Red simply re-positioned his hat and pointed towards his room, as if to say he's tired. Red's Mom got the hint and allowed him to go to his old room. Red went up to his room and saw the familiar old room, his Snes and T.V in the middle of his room, his P.C on the top left corner of the room, with his bed to the left of the T.V. Red proceeded to change into his pajamas and then went onto the soft bed. Before his mind went blank, he once again said in his mind.

"It's finally over…"

He then drifted off into a deep, happy slumber.
