Chapter 3: Red's awakening:

Red awoke with the intense heat of the sun almost attacking his face, He felt dizzy as he gathered his bearings.
he struggled slightly to stand up but once he did he stood full height. He clopped of the dirt on his clothes and wondered where he was.
He tried to remember but all he remembered was memories of 'How did I get here?' he was asking himself.
Surrounded by sizes of tree's he has never seen, He obviously knew he wasn't in Kanto neither Johto.
Filled with shock he checked where his PIKACHU was, he felt dizzy and shaky. 'I dropped... Where is PIKACHU!'

In fear he send out Charizard, the power-house of the team, with his dazzling fire Red heard a mighty roar.
One that explains how relieved Charizard felt. As he roared flying-type Pokemon's started to escape the area.
Red saw all-kinds of Pokemon's, That wasn't his concern however, all in sudden a Pokemon jumped on his back.
Once this Pokemon had merely touched Red he already felt the connection, without even looking he could tell it was
his PIKACHU, "Where... where were..." stuttered Red in shock, and PIKACHU interrupted with a soft and
reassuring voice "Pika?" he said, calming Red down. Red felt calm and thus didn't need CHARIZARD, and once he
had returned him he faced the Poke ball and said 'Sorry, I know you rested far to long.'

Red felt so normal again, at least he thought he did, and started to give his body what it needed again.
A life, his life, Red the champions life. He asked PIKACHU for forgiveness, of course PIKACHU would accept.
They have been together through the worse. Red could remember their past just by looking at him.
The bond they had could not be explained in any language, it's just there.
Red gave the sky a look, a confused look. 'How did I get here and where am I?' the words he said in his head sticked around
even when he turned around and decided to get out of this forest.

Whilst he was walking with his hands in his freezing pockets he looked down with a confused face, No-one could tell that he
was confused because his cap was covering the view towards his face.
He walked with less weight on his back as he did not seem to have his bag. When he looked at his belt he saw five Poke balls hanging off.
Two original poke-balls, one with a lightning and one with a massive scratch. The lightning sticker on the half-red, half-white ball was
his original's, it was PIKACHU's poke ball. Just by looking at it he remembered that PIKACHU had only entered it once, some say it a burden
his carrying that he could just get rid of it, he however leaves it their as a memory. Besides it's not even that heavy, in-fact he doesn't even
feel anything. The second Poke ball had a scratch, it was the Power-houses Poke ball. CHARIZARD was token in by Red when he was an inexperienced
CHARMANDER, the Devolution of this monstrous beast. A foul trainer had left him to die on top of a rock.

Red remembered, he remembered Charizard lonely past. The heavens were bursting with rage as rain had been fallen from it like it never did
on that day. A fool, Red tensed his fists merely remembering that moment. Charizard was left to die. I didn't allow it.
Red can quite be the emotional type and besides he is the champion after all, or should I say former champion.

He also saw three 'Great-balls' He was so dertemined to fullfil Oak's dream, to complete a
quest no-one had succeeded, Not even Red's rival. A quest that toke almost a full year to complete. Sweat, blood and tears have been left with
this item. The Poke-Dex. A tool for some but a memory for Poke balls contained the three legendary birds from Kanto.

Moltres is a dual-type Fire/Flying Legendary Pokemon.
Moltres is a large, avian Pokemon with golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of flames.
Its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. Its straight, pointed beak is brown, as are its pterodactyl feet. It has short talons.
Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano,
this Pokemon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring, and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands.
Moltres is rarely seen by Trainers.

Articuno is a dual-type Ice/Flying Legendary Pokemon.
Articuno is a large avian Pokemon with predominantly blue plumage and large wings said to be made of ice. It has a head crest that consists of three,
darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead and circular red eyes. Its beak is short and gray, and its long, thin legs are gray. It has a long,
streamer-like tail that is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain.
According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety.
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks.

Zapdos is a dual-type Electric/Flying Legendary Pokemon.
Zapdos is an avian Pokemon with predominantly yellow plumage. Black rings encircle its eyes, and it has a long, thin, light orange beak.
Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers, with black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers.
A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are a khaki color, and it has pterodactyl feet ending in talons.
When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms.
It produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts sheds when airborne.
When stricken by lightning, it gains power. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms, and is said to live among thunderclouds.
However, it is rarely seen.

Red the ultimate champion has caught all three, all three with no problem at all. It's quite funny, the way everyone thinks they know his
true potential, the only one close of estimating is Oak. Red is just like a Pokemon. Overtime he will evolve too, or maybe he reached his
maximum evolution? Who knows.

Red walked down as he noticed a kid shouting, the kid had a BULBASUAR. A starter Pokemon in Kanto.
Red closely observed the kid's movements and gazing at the kid for a while. 'What is he doing?' thought Red.
The five feet kid, blue-eyed and blonde haired was so excited to catch a Pokemon that he literally ran after it with a Poke ball.
'His BULBASUAR is right there why is he not commanding him to attack.' Thought Red. Suddenly the kid reminded Red of himself. When Red was trying to catch
his first wild-Pokemon. It was a PIDGEY, he didn't chase after it with a Poke ball like this kid seemed to do, rather his movements were to slow.

Red was still standing their in amusement because this is exactly how Red was. He walked towards the kid and without even saying anything the kid
felt his presence. So did the Pokemon as it immediately stood to a stand-still. The kid gave a sharp look to the Pokemon and then intimidated the
Pokemon. "What's your name kid?" Red asked. The guy turned around and had a shocked face "Did... did you just, Oh no! no you just didn't!" said the kid
changing his tone whilst he was speaking. "I am not a kid I'm ten years old!" Red stood still, he didn't even change his mood after he'd been shouted on.
"What's your name?" said Red. The kid noticed that this guy was different, he could somehow sense it. "Eurhmmm... My name is Winston." said the kid.
"Winston," said Red "That's not how you catch a Pokemon." Red walked towards this kid and said "watch and learn, kid." Red looked at his shoulder as PIKACHU
was there. "OK, buddy we don't want to knock him out, we want to catch him." said Red.
He then looked down and clicked his fingers, he didn't even tell PIKACHU what to do, it's as if PIKACHU could read his mind.
PIKACHU's speed after Red's fingers clicked greatly increased, he now surrended the Pokemon with his speed. PIKACHU then ran at full speed almost unable
for Winston to follow him and gave a tackle, a very soft tackle. Red then stood there he waited. After just a couple of seconds that drastic attack
happens to the little blue-penguin Pokemon, Red threw a Poke ball. When he threw it and the Pokemon got hit by it the Pokemon entered the Poke ball.
Shaking side to side, that's what the Poke ball had been doing for a while. until that bleeping red button in the middle of the Poke ball turned white.
The Poke ball stood still on the floor.

Left speechless Winston gave a look at Red and said "Who are you?" in a shocked and surprised tone.
Red didn't knew whether he should tell him or not. "I'm... I'm called Red." said the Champion. "Such a cool name." Red walked towards the Pokeball and picked
it up. He then wondered what this Pokemon was that he just caught. Weirdly enough it looked like the kid had read his mind, or it was just coincidence.
"It's a PIPLUP, a starter you get." said Winston. "OK, Winston. I want you to have this." Red threw the Poke ball towards Winston's direction.
"He is yours now, kid. Take care of it." said Red in the same tone he'd been talking in. "WHAT!" said Winston in surprise. "YOUR JUST GIVING AWAY A PIPLUP!"
Now Winston's emotions could barely be handled anymore. "I HAVE GOT MY VERY FIRST WILD POKEMON!" shouted Winston aiming the Poke ball in the air.
He ran with great speed towards Red and gave him a hug. Red was unused to this kind of expression. The Kid looked up and said "One day I'm gonna be as cool as you are!"
Red chuckled and said "That's gonna take a lot of training." said Red experienced of the journey he toke. "Anyways, hey kid could you be kind to tell me where we are?"
The kid let go and said "Right now we are in Lostlorn forest, it's North of Route 16 and from Route 16 you can go to Nimbassa city."

Red obviously never heard that and the kid could tell from his face. "Are you a foreign" asked Winston, "Well, yes I'm from Kanto." replied Red immediately.
Winston had never heard of Kanto and said "Well, we are in Unova. If you'd ever heard of it?"
Red didn't want to bother the kid anymore and said, "Evolve that PIPLUP of yours and maybe PIKACHU will battle it one day." walking towards this 'Route 16'
"Ha" shouted Winston, "He'll probably beat him next time." shouted Winston even louder.

A friendship has been made, Red is growing more humanly again. As both Winston and Red part their ways.
Will they ever see each other again?
