The world is a dangerous place for children. Powerful Pokemon lurk in all grasses and waters, it's hard to survive on your own. The reigon had one goal everyone wanted: to defeat the gym leaders and become Champion. This was no easy task, as it takes some years to get their Pokemon strong enough to challenge some of the lesser gym leaders. For 10 year old Red, however, the journey was a joke. His team of powerful Pokemon triumphed against anyone he fought. After defeating the Elite 4 and his rival Blue, Red became Champion and began his glorious career and the most powerful trainer to ever live. But weeks became months, and months became years. No one could beat Red, no one could come close.
Red was now in his teens, and lost all interest in the title of "World's Strongest" Battling didn't excite him anymore. Nothing did. His silenced and emotionless face were the result of boredom. He needed a challenge, but not in the battlefield.
Red was wandering through the grass outside Mt. Silver, the highest peak in Kanto. Just outside was a Pokemon Center, which Red spent the night at to rest. When he woke up, however, the nurse at the counter had prepared him a suprise breakfast. Nothing special or out of the ordinary, just a plain wheat bagel. Red took a bite of the bagel, its soft, fluffy texture danced on his taste buds. His eyes lit up and glowed, as if the fires long burnt out were suddenly reignited by the taste of the bagel. Red very quickly devoured the bagel, and soon demanded the nurse get him more. The nurse could not, though, as that was all she made, and she didn't have the materials for more. Red's hunger for bagels wouldn't stop, and left the Center with a newfound goal. Red was going to become the best bagel chef in the world.
Isolating himself at the peak of Mt. Silver, Red focused all of his strength and willpower into crafting the perfect bagel, only leaving the peak to grab supplies or shit. His team he brought was specifically designed to assist him in his work, each with its own intentions. Venusaur located wheat and plants necessary for dough, his Pikachu was agile enough to collect the ingredients. Blastoise provided water for the dough, which was all mixed together on the molecular level by his Espeon. Red's Charizard acted as an oven to cook the bagel, and Snorlax was the taste tester.
After three grueling years of trial and error, Red had done it. The perfect bagel was created, which he dubbed "..." But as he turned to descend and show the workd the fruits of his labor, he found he had a visitor. A young boy from Johto, who had heard of Red's goal and wished to challenge his perfect bagel. The boy held out his challenger, a pizza bagel, filled with sauce, cheese, and three small pepperonis. Red saw the passion and fire in the boy's eyes, and lightly smiled. The true test was starting, and only one of them would be victorious.
