This event takes place before the first chapter, Red and his sister, Yellow goes to Professor Oak's labotory.
Chapter 2: New Beginnings (to an End)
"Thank you so much for coming with me big brother! I'm excited about our adventure together!", said Yellow. "Psh. I would have gone last year, but mom insisted that I wait for you. And I agree. I want to go with you. But I don't think its necessary to get another Pokemon. I already have Poli.", explained Red. "Yes, but Pokemon are our friends! And you can never have too many friends!", said Yellow. "Yeah, I guess.", said Red. They came up to the labatory door. They knocked but no one answered so they walked in. It was bleak and silent, until Red yelled out "Hello? Is there anyone here?" Lights came on and Blue appeared at the staircase. "Red! What business do you have here at my grandfathers labotory?" "I came here to get my sister a Pokemon from the Professor. We called earlier!", yelled Red. "Hmph", scoffed Blue. "As to why my grandfather wastes his time with you is a mystery to me.", he said walking off. "Why yo-" "Stop this right now!", the Professor yelled out. "I won't have childish quarelling in my lab. This is an eventful day. This is a cause for celebration!" "Professor!", Leaf exclaimed as she was running in, "I'm not late am I?" "Not at all! All of you come into my office right here!"
Three Pokeballs laid across the table as the four of them stood there. Yellow looked excited as a child in a candy store, as Leaf did with a little bit more maturity, as she surpressed her true excitement, as Red looked at the wall, looking indiscrepently unamused, the polar opposite of both the two. "My grandson picked his this morning, I'm afraid he got first dibs since he's my grandson. The three Pokemon before you now are these.", Oak explains as he puts up images of the Pokemon on a projector, "Bulbasaur, a grass and poison type Pokemon. Charmander, a fire type Pokemon, and Pikachu, an electric type Pokemon. Now, I'll give Yellow the first pick since she is the youngest." Yellow closes her eyes and gives a confident grin, "I have no doubt in my heart who I choose my partner to be! I choose you Pikachu!" She runs over and picks the ball up and opens it, to her surprise it's the wrong Pokemon. "Bulba! Bulba!", said the Bulbasaur, as he ran over to Leaf. "Bulba Bulba Bulba!" "You picked up the wrong pokeball, Yellow.", said Oak like a smart alek. "Yeah, I just realized that.", said Yellow in embaressment. "Nonetheless! Leaf that Pokemon seems to have taken a liking to you! You should be its trainer!", exclaimed Oak. Leaf picks up the Bulbasaur and hugs it close, "I agree as well. Bulbasaur, will you let me be your trainer?", she said looking at him. The Bulbasaur nodded yes, as Leaf was doing her best to hold back tears. "Then, I hope you say the same, Pikachu.", as Yellow opens up the pokeball. "Pikachu... will you let me train you?" The Pikachu jumped up at Yellow into her arms. "Haha! I suppose that's a yes! Hahaha!", she said giggling. "Alright, our business here is done, Yellow. Lets go home now.", said Red as he was about to walk out the door. "Red, wait!", said Oak, running towards him. "Yes?", said Red. "I wasn't finished! I want to give you three the Pokedex. It's a data collector for Pokemon! It's a program that is writing information on Pokemon around the world! Please, it's my dream for the world to know all the species of Pokemon that exist!", pleaded the Professor. "You want us to live your dream for you?", asked Red, scoffingly. "Please understand that I don't want to bicuriously live through you all. I've lived a good part of my life and my adventuring days are over. I just believe that this world is consumed with battling and using Pokemon for their means. My... my son had to die because of the evil intentions of man!", Blue, who has been standing with his back against the wall in the corner suddenly widened his eyes at the mention of his father, "I believe Pokemon and people can exist together for a common goal that isn't meaningless and can work for the good! And I believe that the Pokedex can help enlighten our ignorance of Pokemon so we can know them better, and help them!", Oak pleaded. "I agree, Professor! We will do this for you!", Leaf said confidently. "Thank you, so much. I belive you children have great destinies that await you.", Oak told them as he handed the three of them Pokedexes. "And Red! I think you should take this Pokemon!", pressured Oak. "No thank you, I have no need for another-", Red said. "I insist! Open it up and see him!", Oak continued to stress the matter. Red looked wide-eyed at the Pokeball, not sure whether this was the right thing to do or not. He picked it up and said, "I look at him when I get home. Me and Yellow have to go eat lunch. Come on.", Red said as he walked off. "Thank you so much Professor!", exclaimed Yellow as she ran off to catch up with her brother. Leaf gave her thanks and left, as the Professor and Blue were left alone. "Blue, are you going to come eat lunch with me and Daisy?", he asked as he was leaving the room. "I'll be down in a minute, Gramps.", he said. "Very well then", Oak said as he walked off out of the room.
"Grandfather, you have very noble intentions...", Blue said to himself, "...nevertheless, the strong will devour the weak. Those who are strong will remain. And I plan to be the very epitome of that word. Strong!"
Later that night, after the events of Chapter 1.
Red throws the Pokeball in his room and releases his new Pokemon. There stood a Charmander, a red lizard type Pokemon with a flame on its tail, and fangs for teeth. As sinister as it sounds it looks at Red with a relieved look, finally finding a partner to serve. "Hmph. I don't need another Pokemon.", Red cold-heartedly says as he returns Charmander to his Pokeball. "I don't need anyone else, as long as I have you, Poli.", Red said looking at his Poliwhirl. "What?", Red said, hearing something outside his window. He looks outside and sees Blue running into the forest. "I told him I wouldn't follow him...", Red thought to himself. "Reeeeed! Get ready for bed, you have a big day tomorrow!", his mother said. "I'm getting ready, mom, please!", he yelled back.
"I need to go follow him...", Red thought. He opened up his window, and summoned Poliwhirl. "Poli!", he whispered. "Jump down there and catch me, we're going after Blue!", he commanded. Poli did as he said and hopped from the window and caught him from the window. "Good job boy.", Red said. "Poli Poli!", Poli said as he smiled. Red proceeded to follow Blue into the forest.
Red hides as he hears chattering from the distance. "So is Mew confirmed to be here?", said one man. "Yes, Master Giovanni confirmed his location here.", said another girl. "Finally at last. The 120th species, and the ancestor of all Pokemon comes out of hiding. This will be the day of reckoning for humanity." "Red!", yelled out Blue coming from the shadows, "what the hell are you doing he-" "Shh! Get down!", Red said. He pulled Blue to the ground. "Huh, what was that?", said the man. "What is it?", said the woman. "I thought I heard something.", he said. "Oh shut up, you're hearing things again. Let's keep to the mission.", she said. "Oh... oh yes right!", he said as the left off. "Phew...", Red relieved. "I told you not to follow me you idiot!", yelled Blue. "Well I changed my mind. You have a problem with it?", argued Red. "Fine, I'll finish you off right now, go Squirtle!", Blue challenged as he released his Squirtle. "Ha! As if your newbie friend can beat my experienced Poliwhirl! Go Poli!", Red commanded Poli. "Use Rapid Spin, Squirtle!", Blue commanded, as Squritle jumped up in the air and pulled in his shell and began to spin rapidly towards Poliwhirl. "Use your Water Gun, Poli!", commanded Red as Poli shot out a Water Gun, neutralizing Squirtle's attack. Both the trainers and the Pokemon stood each other down, not moving a muscle. Both just looked in anger and hatred, awaiting to make the next move, then suddenly, "Hey what are those two doing over there? They aren't wearing Team Rocket uniforms!", said one grunt. "They might be spies, we must get rid of them!", said another. Two grunts jumped from the trees and pinned both Red and Blue to the ground. "You're going to answer to me! Who are you?", said the leader. "I don't have to tell you anything! Just let us go, we have nothing to do with your business!", yelled Red. "I suppose you don't. Nonetheless, your life ends here. Captain James of Team Rocket here commands both of you soldiers to aim your guns at their heads, and shoot. We cannot afford to let Team Rocket's secrets be revealed to the public!", said James. "Yes sir!", said the grunts as they did exactly as they were told, aiming their guns at both of their heads. James bent down to see their faces, "Any last word, boys?", Red thought to himself, "No... I can't... leave... mom, Yellow, and Leaf... and Poli... behind! Someone, please... Please... HELP ME!"
A flash of blinding light was seen, was this... the end?
