I don't own Pokémon or their characters

Kanto Adventure

Boulder Badge Arc

Chapter 1: Red v. Blue 1

Red was getting dressed as he put on his hat. "Red, you're going to be late." Red's mother said.

"Alright," Red said and he put some things in his bag pack. He ran out of his room and down the stairs. "Mom, I'll be leaving!"

"Alright son, you're ready to start your Pokémon adventure?" Red's mom asked.

"Yes, mom," Red replied before getting patted in the head.

"You come and visit time to time. Call me and please… do not be reckless."

"Mom." Red groaned and smiled. His mother gave him a kiss on the cheek. Red walked to the door. "Next time you see me, I'll be closer as a Champion!" Red winked before walking off.

"…That kid. Good luck."

Red was outside his house. He smiled while seeing some Pidgey flying around. He smiled and started to walk towards the exit of the city.

"Red-kun!" Red gasped from feeling someone hug his stomach.

"Huh?" Red looked back and saw Leaf hugging him. "Leaf-chan…"

"Come on Red, we need to go get some Pokémon." Leaf moved back. She smiled and put her hands behind his pack. She started to shove him forward.

"Calm down," Red said as Leaf kept moving him forward.

"Woah, there!" A man said which made Leaf stop shoving Red. She moved away from Red and turned around.

Red looked back and he saw the person he heard so much about. "Professor… Professor Oak…"

"So you're Red, I heard much about you." Professor Oak smiled at the young boy. "Are—."

"Professor! Do you… Do you know me?" Leaf leaned closer to Professor Oak who stepped back.

"Well, who are you?" Professor Oak smiled awkwardly and shivered.

"I am Leaf, I am going to be the strongest trainer behind Red."

"You mean the second strongest?" Oak asked and Leaf blinked. "Never mind, but you shouldn't enter an area full of Pokémon without one."

"We are going to catch a Pokémon though!" Leaf stood proudly.

"And how will you do that?" Oak asked Leaf who was about to answer but paused to think. "Ah, children… look now. I can actually start your adventures. You need Pokémon correct?"

"Yes," Red nodded and Oak turned around.

"Follow me to my Lab," Professor Oak said and walked, the two followed. "The world of Pokémon is mysterious and very vast… things that can only be seen by the human eye. I believe… I believe that everyone in the world should embrace Pokémon as part of their lives." Oak got the Lab and opened the door. "And maybe you two can become a part of that adventure."

Oak entered. Leaf ran in while Red walk in.

"Huh…" Red stared and suddenly he became disgusted. "Why are you here?"

"Oh look who it is. If it isn't Red," It was Blue, Red's childhood friend.

"Blue-kun, what brings you here?" Leaf walked up without noticing Red's disdain towards Blue. Blue has always been better than Red as they grew up.

"I am here the same reason granddad brought you guys… I am here to become a Pokémon trainer." Blue crossed his arms and smugly smiled at Red.

"Grandad, you never told me Professor Oak was your grandpa," Red told Blue.

"Never asked…" Blue turned to Oak. "So can we please get our Pokémon?"

"Wait… you must let Red choose first."

"What? Why?" Blue got up and glared at Red.

"Because he was the one who wanted to become a trainer for a long time. Just allow him." Oak patted Blue in the head. Blue pouted and Professor Oak took out a poke-ball case. He opened it and three poke-balls were seen.

"Which one would you like Red, the fire Pokémon Charmander, the grass Pokémon Bulbasaur, or the water Pokémon Squirtle?"

Red looked down at the case. He closed his eyes and picked up the poke-ball of Charmander. "I choose Charmander—."

"Then I got Squirtle!" Blue pushed Red to the side and picked up Squirtle's poke-ball.

"Red-kun!" Leaf walked to Red and tried to help him up. His glare was just kept his eye on Blue who smirked.

"Now that I have my Pokémon, I'll—."

"Battle me!" Red went up to Blue's face who had a permanent smile on him. "Why don't you battle me?" Red's voice filled with jealousy and tension.

"You think you can beat me, I mean I would like my streak to be 1-0. Why don't I start with you?" Blue moved back.

"Guys," Leaf moved in between the two boys. "We shouldn't do this here…" she said nervously.

"They can," Oak agreed and Leaf was surprised. "I'll let these two battle this one time. Since their Pokémon have no real move." Oak told and then Red nodded.

"I choose you! Charmander!" Red screamed and Charmander came out. He smiled and jumped up.

"Heh, looks like a loser already… go Squirtle!" Blue let out his Pokémon who spun around his shell before jumping up. Leaf clapped her hands and she was giddy with excitement.

"They both look so cute. No Oak, don't let them fight." Leaf giggled while Oak was a bit weird out. Suddenly he turned to the two boys who were just staring at each other. "I don't know how battle works Professor Oak…"

"It's easy, the trainer is there to support their Pokémon. At times, the Pokémon becomes experienced enough that some orders don't have to be said and they know. But for Pokémon who are starting out with a trainer. It's the trainer's job to help their Pokémon grow."

"Squirtle beat that Pokémon with Tackle!" Squirtle ran up to Charmander.

"Dodge it," Charmander jumped up and Squirtle looked up surprised. Charmander growled while Red was smiling now.

"Go Red-kun!" Leaf cheered.

"Charmander Scratch!" Charmander moved down and hit the face of Squirtle. Squirtle flipped back and hit the wall. The aids gasped at the crack. Charmander landed and Red's eyes became focused, "Scratch again!"

"Tail Whip," Squirtle moved forward and wagged his tail. It made Charmander lose focus and flinch. "Tackle," Squirtle moved forward and hit Charmander. Charmander gasped and screamed in pain. He got smashed down to the ground which caused a crack.

Charmander was trying to breathe as Squirtle stood over it. "Tackle again!" Blue ordered and Squirtle jumped up.

"Dodge!" Red screamed in a panic and Charmander was once again smashed down to the ground. Charmander spits out while his breath was silent. Leaf gasped as Red shivered.

Charmander whimpered while holding his stomach. Squirtle moved away from Charmander who was in pain. Blue smiled was about to say something before Charmander was starting to get up. Charmander gasped and panted.

Charmander growled and roared out. Squirtle flinched before Blue tilted his head. "Finish it, Tackle," Blue said and Squirtle tackled. Charmander was pushed back and hit the wall. He collapsed to the ground and stayed still. Red put his head down and returned Charmander to his poke-ball.

"And the winner is Blue!" Blue boasted while Leaf was surprised. Red didn't speak before Blue turned around.

"Even now… I'm better," Blue stuck out his tongue. "I'll smell ya later," Blue chuckled and walked away.

Leaf glared and grabbed the poke-ball of Bulbasaur. "Hey, idiot!" Leaf insulted, Oak and Red was surprised with her outburst. Blue stopped and turned to look at Leaf. "Battle me now!"

Leaf showed the poke-ball. Blue blinked, "I am not in the mood right now. But I will one day. I'll see you later Leaf." Blue waved off and left the lab.

Leaf pouted and ran forward, but Red caught her.

"No," Red said, "I lost fair and square." Red smiled, "I just need to get stronger."

"But…" Leaf was silent on Red's look. He didn't want Leaf to just push herself for the wrong thing.

"That's right," Oak said and Leaf looked back. "That is how it is. You can't win them all, but you can't lose them all. You grow… right now Red has received his first loss, but it won't be his last loss. You must accept losing." Oak patted Red's head. "Sooner or later you will win him."

Red nodded, "I wanted to ask Blue about this, but since he left I'll ask you two. I have a Parcel in Viridian City, you just need to pass through Route 1. Would you like to Red?"

Red thought about it and nodded, "Yes, I will!" Oak then turned and he was surprised seeing Leaf with the poke-ball.

"This is yours…" Leaf said to Oak who took a look at the poke-ball.

"No," Oak grabbed Leaf's other hand and placed it over the poke-ball. "It's yours, you have shown nothing, but undefined loyalty towards your friend. I think you'll be perfect as a Pokémon trainer."

"Really?" Leaf asked and Oak nodded. "Yes, I have a Pokémon!" Leaf cheered while holding her poke-ball up. Red smiled along with Oak.

Leaf summoned Bulbasaur and caught it. "I love you Bulbasaur," Leaf snuggled her Pokémon who also giggled. "I love it…"

Red turned to the side and he glared. "I couldn't beat him… I will one day."

Thank you for reading. I got some things to explain. This won't be the exact same as the manga series, but the timeline will be the same. One thing, I know what Zinnia said in Omega and Alpha, but the timelines are the same.

So right now, both Kanto and Hoenn adventures are happing at the same time. No other adventure. And about Mega Evolutions, they will exist in all adventure, but the Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and Unova 2 adventures won't have prominent Mega Evolution. They will exist, but won't be shown all too much or play an important part.

I know Gen 7 is coming, but I'll do a special on that later on… maybe.

For now, only the six Generations exists. If you guys really like the story, tell me. Should I have like nicknames for the trainers Pokemon?

Also, later on, I might let you guys decide which Pokemon(s) the trainer should catch in the area.

One thing, because I kind of want to go for the lore. I will ask this until I get enough answers or an answer. Should I do a mini-story about the "Death" of Raticate?

One last thing. Red is the main character. It means it's his story. So it's done in his perspective. Him and Leaf "could" (not will) separate and we may never hear from her.

Same with Brandon in the Hoenn Adventures.
