Red (Pokémon)

| ~ Red |
Background
Red was born in the quiet Pallet Town to a single mother and unknown father. With Pallet Town being as small as it is, everyone was very familiar with one another, and thus Red quickly made a friend. This friend was Blue, grandson of the famous Professor Oak. Red and Blue would not only become friends, but also intense rivals.
As the two boys grew up and reached their 11th birthdays, it was finally time for them to receive their very first Pokémon, and kick off their journeys as Pokémon Trainers. After choosing their starters (with Red choosing Charmander, and Blue choosing Squirtle,) Professor Oak also entrusted them with a Pokédex, his newest invention which would record data of any Pokémon they encountered. With these Pokédex, Red and Blue were tasked with catching as many different Pokémon as they could.
Red travelled across the Kanto region, catching as many Pokémon as possible and becoming friends with each and every one, while on the way taking on several Gym challenges and earning their Gym Badges. During this quest, however, Red was soon caught up with the plot of Team Rocket, and their criminal ways.
Naturally drawn to doing what’s right, and knowing that his Pokémon were strong enough to take on the challenge, Red would chase Team Rocket across the region, and knock out their headquarters left and right. This would finally lead him to the eighth and final Gym, which was led by the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni.
Although the battle was incredibly intense, Red and his Pokémon were able to pull through, not only completely ending the Team Rocket conflict, but also earning himself the final Gym Badge. Finished with the Gym challenge, Red made his way to the Indigo Plateau, where the Elite Four resided. Here, Red would take his shot at becoming Pokémon League Champion.
Red defeated the Elite Four (Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance,) and was ready to claim his title as League Champion, until he discovered that someone had defeated the Elite Four challenge before him. This was Blue, who waited for Red in the Champion’s chambers. For one last time, Red and Blue engaged in battle.
The battle was impossibly tough; Charizard against Blastoise. However, Red’s genuine love for his Pokémon was a power far stronger than any that Blue possessed, and he was able to barely pull through. With Blue defeated, Red was crowned the new Champion of the Indigo League.
Red did not stay to defend his title as Champion, however. With Blue leaving the League entirely to recover from his loss and find himself again, Red decided that he still needed to complete the Pokédex, and resigned from the Indigo League; Lance quickly took over as Champion, remaining undefeated for the next three years.
With the location of the final Pokémon on his Pokédex, Mew, being completely elusive, Red left everything behind to search for it. This led him to Mount Silver, which was the highest peak in the entire Johto region. Red would seemingly stay on this mountain for a very long time, standing at its peak and looking down at the world from above.
Soon, Red would find himself confronted by another former-Indigo League Champion; Gold. Red and Gold engaged in a legendary Pokémon battle atop Mount Silver, which is said to be one of the most legendary Pokémon battles of all time. Gold barely claimed victory over Red, and Red suddenly vanished from the Mountain.
Red disappeared completely from the world for the next, only living on in the memory of the people of the world as a legendary trainer. However, four years after his defeat atop Mount Silver, the 19 year old Red made his triumphant return. Making his way to the Unova region, Red was entered into the Champion’s division of the Pokémon World Tournament. Here, Red faced off against several legendary Champions, and showed off his extraordinary skill.
Two years later, Red and his old rival, Blue, would run into each other again, now having made up for their bitter rivalry as children. These two legendary trainers would be brought to the Alola region, where they would be asked to participate as the final challenge of the Battle Tree. Red and Blue agreed to do so, where they would take on any trainer who managed to reach them.
