TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

Red had made his way to another new area as the Kanto Champion was wandering around, mostly to keep himself away from the other Dex Holders due to not wanting to 'explain' his silence, once he knew he was in the clear -- Grabbing a pokéball, he allowed his index finger to click the button, only to watch a white beam shoot out only to have Pika appear once the light had vanished. A rather soft & gentle smile came across his lips as his eyes closed, he was happy to have Pika still with him -- He then watched rather peacefully for a while as Pika himself even sniffed around the area to try & figure out where it was, it clocked to him that he hadn't actually battled anyone nor actually let his team out since leaving Kanto -- So this place was even newer than it was to him. [break][break] Suddenly Pika had scurried up the side, only to grab his cap to just run back down & run around with the trainer's cap that he's had since he started his journey -- He went to chase after the Pikachu, but he soon realised that it was only trying to cheer him up, the electric mouse was there the day that he had lost Poli along with the many hours spent looking around. Pika was really the only other Pokémon that knew what was really going through it's trainer's mind, so did Saur but Saur was rather big so often offered it's tentacle or for Red to sleep against him. Red was in all honesty thankful for the team that he has -- Thinking back on it, without them he really wouldn't be where he was today, Red never knew it was really down to his instincts despite people telling him. Mainly because he assumed it was down to the bond between him & Pokémon that allowed it to happen, but strength did come in numerous places. [break][break] So, instead of chasing after Pika -- Red simply sat himself down before he laid down, his eyes looking up towards the sky that was rather clear with little to no clouds, only to end up closing his eyes briefly. Taking a rather deep breath in & out, the atmosphere & loneliness was rather comforting to an extent, it made him miss the times he was on MT.Silver.

Red remained how he was, even as the male began to question him as to why he was here -- Was this guy a 20a or something?
[break][break] His firey-brown eyes only looked up towards 'Tyson' as the other had rather politely introduced themselves, but the mention of having hailed from Johto caused his gaze to return to the bubbling water -- His eyes showed something was amiss, but the fact he wasn't even speaking was a massive thing since if anyone had ever spoken to people that had actually met him. They would have told people on the fact that he never shuts up. But to show that he wasn't trying to be rude about being silent, Red simply raised a hand up out of the water after lifting himself up slightly to a sitting position. [break][break] Red kept the hand there until the other were to either accept & shake it or to decline the hand shake, he wasn't expecting anything from it -- Just because he was a Champion & a world famous trainer, he wasn't going to try to be above people. It just wasn't his forte at all, having come from a rather humble & respectful background. [break][break] Despite the silence, he decided to 'try' to answer Tyson's question -- To which he simply pointed towards his wrists, it was well known that he had been frozen & turned to stone throughout the years, so it was to no surprise that he would have sustained 'injury'. Even though this type of injury was more for a psychological benefit rather than anything else, having been cured of it years ago back in the springs.

Red held his hands up upon the male calling him a pervert, Red was by far from it & it annoyed him slightly that this stranger assumed that he was perving on him. But his anger quickly calmed down upon being allowed to enter the pool. He dipped his toe in first just to double check the temperature before moving more of his body under the bubbling depths (removing the towel that was around his waist), now being fully submerged up to his mouth he couldn't help but pull a rather calmed & relaxed expression -- On top of blowing bubbles via his mouth, despite it being something a young child would do, it often helped him unwind.
[break][break]
Then them words were spoken, his name came out from the lips of this stranger, which only caused him to roll his eyes as he made sure to have done it away from this stranger's line of site -- He didn't really want to upset any fan of his, it wouldn't be him, but then what was ever since Poli 'died'. Upon turning his head towards the male, he gave a rather warming smile even though if people knew him rather well they'd have been able to tear it apart & new it was fake -- One of them would have been definitely Green, his rival knew him just as good as he knew him.
[break][break]
Red was then asked if he could forgive him, to which the Champion simply responded by lifting a hand out from underneath the water & swaying it from side to side with an open palm -- Clearly saying that he wasn't really that fussed about it. He already knew that it was probably strange of such a world renowned trainer to be silent, it was still strange to him -- But he just couldn't seem to be able to form any words since this loss of his partner for over 10+ years. Afterwards Red shifted slightly within the water to stare at it with his warm eyes, it was obvious that despite being warm that once he were to become serious you'd have been burned by his tenacity, but right now he was thinking about the times him & Poli along with the rest of his team would share a spring together & just splash each other -- Often causing a right ruckus.
[attr="class","bst_credits"]MADE BY VON OF WW AND OOC
After having been venturing around the Lyeant region, obviously training & avoiding pretty much the Dex Holder's of whom had also arrived hear, he had over heard of a rather relaxing spring that was nearby -- Red could feel his wrist joints starting to 'freeze' up, it was odd that even though he had been cured from being frozen that he was still suffering psychologically. Usually he had put the fact his joints froze up down to overworking them, but with the death of Poli, it made him realise that it was more than just that, his psyche and body always remembered. A sigh escaped his lips as he began to rubs at the wrists to try & loosen them up somewhat.
Upon entering the springs, he was surprised at how welcomed & relaxing it felt, seeing the other Pokémon giving off relaxing lights -- It caused Red to take a rather deep breath before he exhaled. His brown hues then looked around before he entered a changing room to strip off his clothes before he walked out with just a towel around his waist -- Red wasn't a person to have any shame about his body, he just always though it was a normal thing to bath naked in the open. Like always, the Champion wasn't paying attention & ended up walking into a bush -- He really needed to stop being so wrapped up within himself, but a voice calling out brought him back to reality, so to not be rude the brunet moved his way around the bush before giving a slight wave towards the stranger.
Red's firey brown eyes then gazed around them, not wanting to see any other trainers, but the vibe this one was giving off -- He could tell this one was a rather good one. The Kanto Champion then scratched at his cheek before pointing towards the tub that this guy was in, it being obvious that he was asking if he could join the other -- His main reason was because the only other tub was close as Hell to the enterance & if another dex holder did walk in, he wanted to make a quick exit.
Just how long had he been away from the other Kanto holders? Red lost track of all sense of time, but to him it didn't seem to have existed since he lost Poli, something that no-one really knew -- But unless people had actually paid attention to his team, they'd have noticed that he wasn't with him anymore. It wasn't like Red could really say anything, the trauma had a bigger affect on him than the countless times he had been injured -- It made him question why this was so different, except he knew the answer, it was because Poli had been with him since day #1. The trainer gritted his teeth in anger towards himself, the lose hands that were beside his waist both clenched up into fight fists, only for moments later to loosen up as a sigh escaped his lips -- A saddened expression came across the Champion's features, luckily it was covered by his cap.
Red's attire had changed since he came to this region as well, now he was donning a pair of darker blue jeans, a black tank top that was covered by a red short sleeved t-shirt that wasn't buttoned up along with a single black wristband upon his right wrist. His trainers & backpack remained the same as they were before, his pokeballs still being kept along his waist attached to the belt, suddenly his ears twitched at the sounds of a battle happening, which peaked his TRAINER interests -- So like normal he followed his gut & made his way towards the scene of where two trainers were battling it out against each other, this made Red smirk slightly towards himself as it was just two young kids trying to rival each other.
Watching the young kids rival it out, it reminded him of how him & Green started out, going back to the days of when Red got angry at Green for retreating whilst battling a Mew -- Man them were the days him & Poli -- As soon as thoughts went back to his first ever partner, his mood dipped again, loosing the smirk. Red just went back to watching the battle with a rather plain look -- He was tempted to offer the kids some battle experience advice, something he had learned from his gut & vast battle experience, but how was he to do that when he was finding it difficult to even talk nowadays?
Neutral, calm. Though this general mood can be very tricky. His mental disposition is driven by the activity he's realising, appearing to have a permanent serious-serene nature most of the time in people's view. However, he's just well mannered and only speaks up when necessary, rarely in presence of strangers. If he grows closer to someone, then he'll open up and show bits of smiling, grinning or smirking (even playful). He'll be rude when anxious (he's primarily a temperamental individual, but has learned to have it under control), specially when a competition result or his goals are at stake, but will never mean real harm to others. He's not the kind who will scream or rage openly with words when angered, not even passive-aggressive behavior; instead he grows very cold and unpredictable, his body language becoming stiff and/or aggressive.

Red start's his journey to become a Pokémon Trainer later than the rest of the Kanto trio -- Mainly because before he even started he was showing off his catching abilities off to a group of younger kids, but this all came to an end when the group mentioned something with regards to Prof.Oak & his douche grandson. Once the kids had all left, he went his own way where he saw a few grunts from Team ROCKET & overheard them talking about the legendary Pokémon Mew. Without a moments hesitation, Red ran off to try & fight it like the typical trainer. [break][break] Sadly, he wasn't the first to be battling the legendary Pokémon -- Another had already started to battle it with a Charmander, it was none other than another male who he had yet to know was Prof.Oak's grandson, Green. Upon seeing the trainer recall his Charmander angered Red so much that he sent out his trusted pal, Poli to battle Mew only to have his ass whooped & to receive words of wisdom from the trainer that owned the Charmander -- At this point Red decided to suck up his own pride & go see the Prof. [break][break] Upon entering the rather empty lab, Red found a Bulbasaur -- Where he picked it up as he loved marvelling at Pokémon, only to get caught by the Professor himself & got mistaken for being a thief, the pair struggled & ended up knocking over the pokéballs where all of them are set lose -- Red feeling bad for what he had caused volunteered himself to get them all back. It took a while but Red eventually get's them all back, keeping to his promise, all apart from the Bulbasaur that he had saw earlier. Red eventually finds the Bulbasaur within Viridian City, he ends up calming the grass-type only to end up getting attacked by a wild Machoke -- Red somehow out of sheer luck manages to figure out how to use Solar Beam on his own, which unbeknowngst to him impressed Oak to the point that the old man gave him a Pokédex & Bulbasaur to keep. [break][break] Which then starts off the young trainer's journey, only to encounter Green once again within the Viridian Forest -- Where the two boys ended up fighting over a Kangasjhan, but during this Red finds out about Green's name along with the status that he was in fact Oak's grandson. This sparked the beginning of their Rivalry as trainers.
&& So the Journey Begins
Whilst out within Pewter City, Red get's involved with helping out an industry that's getting destroyed by a menacing Pikachu -- Which he captures before running into Green, where he learns about the Boulder Badge, which caused Red to go up & challange Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader & to earn the Gym Badge. He blows through the preliminaries with Saur and Poli -- But he soon realises that he needs to use his newly caught Pokemon, Pikachu, in order to beat Brock's Onix. It was rather rocky at first, simply due to the fact that Red did not have Pika's trust, but upon gaining it he defeated the Onix & grains the Boulder Badge. [break][break] After leaving Pewter City, he bumped inot a girl named Misty & her Gyrados who had been stolen from her was going through a rather intense rage which had horribly injured her & her Staryu in the process. Red then re-captures the water/dragon-type & ends up learning more about Team Rocket through Misty & Oak once they got to the Poké Centre to heal Staryu. Once learning this, he storms off to Mt.Moon after them with Misty in toe & battles against the Grunts that were there, he even defeated an Admin named Koga who even injected his own Ryhorn that forced the Pokémon to evolve into Rhydon. After defeating the members of Team Rocket that were within Mt.Moon he stayed within Misty's Mansion. Misty ends up defeating Red to prove her point that they both needed to become stronger if they want to continue defeating Team Rocket, so he decides to go off by himself & train -- Where after several days he comes back & defeats Misty where he ends up gaining the Cascade badge. [break][break] Red ends up stowing himself away upon the S.S.Anne which didn't last long as he got kicked off -- But he ended up meeting the Pokemon Fan Club Chairman, where he learned that his Abra along with other Pokemon are being stolen. Which ultimately ends up leading him back to the S.S.Anne where he bumps into Lt.Surge, the owner of the ship. Lt.Surge who was another Admin of Team Rocket threw Red & Poli off of the ship which triggered Poli evolving into Poliwrath in order to save Red from drowning since at this point -- Red wasn't a very good swimmer. [break][break] Later on, after recovering from nearly drowing, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokemon to give him a rather good lead, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by a Snorlax -- But covering Saur in honey, he ends up catching this Snorlax & wins the race, however his prize money was all spent to feed the Snorlax (Red not realising how much of an appetite he had). He then jouney's on to Lavender Town where he rescues Green who had mysteriously disappeared, only to find him possesed by a Ghastly that was owned by Koga. Red then watches Green defeat and slice up Koga's Arbok in half & gains some respect towards Green.
&& here the scamming starts
Red is soon scammed out of his money for fake items by a rather mischievous girl who went by the name of Blue -- He ends up chasing her down to get his money back, only to realise that his first two badges were also missing. He then deduces that the stolen Squirtle that Oak mention must have been taken by this chick as well & evolved it into a Wartortle. Red ended up overhearing some Team Rocket Grunts mentioning the girl that had scammed him, to which he himself infiltrates Team Rocket's base find out what they know about Blue, only to find her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members who were looking for a chip that she had stolen (she really needs to stop stealing) that contained the information about Mew. Despite everything that Blue had done to him, he still decides to save her from Team Rocket. Afterwards the pair end up going after Mew only to find that yet again, Team Rocket made it there before them -- But Red decides to stall them in order for Mew to get away. Afterwards Blue decides to leave where she left Red's badges within his entrusted pocket. [break][break] Later on, he ends up accidentally get's his & Green's pokemon swapped near Celadon City. When he tries to battle with them, they refuse to obey him & he later decides to play with them whilst Blue ended up training his Pokemon with more exotic & useful moves. Blue's Pokemon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted, something that ends up annoying Green grately when he get's his actual Pokemon back. After this, Red goes to Erika, where he challenges her. Except, she demands that he proves himself by catching a special Eevee (with Bill's help) he ends up finding and catching this Eevee which has the ability to swap between any of it's evolved forms - Something that was due to a special device that was implemented into it's ear. [break][break] Red then comes back with this Eevee, questioning Erika as to why it was able to change the way it does and challanges Erika to a gym battle where he was easily defeated by Erika. Erika then states that she will kill the Eevee due to it's 'deformity' but Red uses Pika in order to protect the Eevee -- Angered by the fact that someone would kill another Pokemon due to it's odd looks. Alas Erika reveals that it was just a test to see which side Red was on and revealed that the real people that deformed this Eevee was no-one else but Team Rocket.
&& Helping The Boss of Team Rocket?!
Upon being in Fuchsia City, Red visits the Safari Zone, where even though he wasn't supposed to do anything except from watch -- He smuggles in a Poké Ball and catches himself a Nidoqueen where he ended up angering two Nidoking's that were fighting over her. He luckily manages to escape them but is then taken by a Victreebel to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the Bellsprout and Weepinbell, but just like earlier he manages to get away from them only to run once again into the two Nidoking's, which resulted in a fight between the Nidoking's and the Victreebel. Using this to his advantage -- Red catches both of the Pokémon and many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden. [break][break] Red unbeknowngst to him, ends up helping the Leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni to whom he believes is nothing more thana researcher out to get some fossils. To which he takes them to the Pewter City's Museum of Science via the Diglett's Cave -- Where he see's two Magmar setting the place ablaze. He then battles the two Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves, to which Giovanni deduces that Red is not a thread to Team Rocket since he lacks the cruelty, unfairness and brutality. Red is then sent on his way but before he does go, Giovanni gives him an Old Amber. [break][break] Wanting to reach the Seafoam Island, Red goes to the very bottom of a lake to retrieve the HM Surf, but instead he is confronted by a Dragonite and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it -- Sadly only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock, to which he is eventually rescued by Misty who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her Starmie and Gyarados. The pair then trade Red's Krabby for Misty's Gyarados who knows Surf and Red makes his way to Seafoam Island, where he encounters Team Rocket again who are searching for Articuno. [break][break] Red ends up reaching Cinnabar Island, where he spitted Team Rocket once more and secretly watch them battle Blaine's Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. Sadly a member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, Moltres. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's Rapidash. When nothing that they do works, Blaine ends up spotting Red's Old Amber and has him revive it as fast as he can, when Red get's it to revive, it is revived into an Aerodactyl and with that, he was able to drive Moltres away.
&& Attacking TR's HQ
Later on, Red, Green and Blue all end up failing to enter Saffron City, so Red decides to go to Pallet Town and ask Oak for some advice, only to realise that there was no-one there except for Sabrina and her Kadabra masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin then appears to him where he gets pinned down to the floor via Sabrina's psychic-powers where she challanges him to go back to Saffron. Blue then arrives and tells him that Saffon must be Team Rocket's HQ, and the also find out that Vee has gone missing. Saffron is protected from invasion via a large psychic barrier -- So with some urging, Green, Red and Blue all team up and with Pika's substitute and Green's Golduck's confusion the pair end up locating the source of the barrier which is Sabrina's Mr.Mime and defeat him which allows them access to Saffron City. [break][break] After a trap door splits him up from Green whilst in Silph Co, Red ends up running into Lt.Surge who was equiped with many gadgets that involved electricity and Electric-type Pokémon that was all powered by Zapdos. Red sends out Saur in defense and uses Razor Leaf to cut the electrical cords which caused Lt.Surge to get electrocuted. Red then swipes the Thunder Badge from him as well as a pair of gloves -- Upon which he finds Koga standing over a defeated Green, Red tried to stop Koga from killing Green but is restrained by Koga's Grimer. After a hard battle with the legendary Articuno, the same one that Red in fact had saved earlier on in his journey -- The two boys then defeat Koga, to which Red takes the Soul Badge from him and the pair split up once again. [break][break] Red ends up running into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets Blue, who hands him the Marsh Badge in exchange for his Moon Stone. Red then fits his seven Badges into the Amp before pointing it towards his Pikachu, Sabrina suddenly appears and though he points the Amp towards Pikachu the Amp fails to work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno are merged when Blue inserts the real Badges in creating a new pokemon. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue and Green eventually defeat the new Pokémon.
&& An offer that needs REFUSAL!
After everything, Red journeys back to Cerulean City to capture the 'Monster Pokemon' which only turns out to be Mewtwo, after attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon were almost sucked into Mewtwo's Psywave only to be saved by Blaine -- Red then uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and ends up capturing it with a Master Ball that he gives to Blaine. [break][break] Later, Red ends up encountering Yellow who was being attacked by a Dratini within Viridian Forrest, to which he ends up helping her catch a Rattata -- Explaining to her how battling and catching Pokémon actually works. He then takes her back to Viridian City and finds out that Team Rocket have been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also ends up learning that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Upon entering the Gym, Red finally meets Giovanni again, who winds up revealing his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Red is then challanged by Giovanni but with a catch; if Red loses he is to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle that nearly destroyed the gym Red ends up victorious. Giovanni then offers Red to become the new Gym Leader of Viridina, but he rejects it only wanting to become a better trainer -- Where he sets of to go to Indigo Plateau. [break][break] With the badges that he had gained, Red was finally able to enter the Pokémon League, where he ends up facing Green in their final match, just as Oak notes how Green has become a lot more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use his knowledge as well as his instinct. Red then ends up defeated Green and his Charizard with his Saur -- Where he becomes the Champion of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This ends up making him interesting towards the Elite Four who are watching the battle from the sidelines.
&& Here comes the ICE BEAM
Two years later, Red receives an invitation to battle Bruno of the Elite Four at Mt.Moon, where during the battle Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battling. Red however get's confronted by Lorelei and Agatha together -- whom request that he joins them on their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon, along with this they wanted information about Giovanni so that they can find the Earth Badge to power the Badge Energy Amp that Agatha had retrieve from Silph Co rubble. When Red ends up telling the truth, Lorelei freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he had disappeared since no-one had seen or heard from him in over a month. The only person that ends up escaping was Pika who winds up at the Prof. Oak's lab where he ends up teaming with Yellow. [break][break] Red's frozen sculpture is found by Brock, yet Red's actual body is nowhere to be found. Even Bruno who is looking for Red to finish their battle couldn't trace him. But it wasn't for a few months that it was in fact Giovanni who had rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and fight the Elite Four no Cerise Island -- Red arrives just in time to save Bill and Lt.Surge where he's finally able to finish his battle with Bruno.
&& To Turn down the Gym!
Red a while later, is offered the new Viridian Gym Leader position -- Which despite flying through the tests with colours ends up declining due to the injuries suffered from when he was frozen. He was also asked to help Yellow to find Lugia in Johto but this two he had decline for the exact same reason. He then learns from Blue of a place where he can heal his wounds and he leaves to recuperate at the springs on Mt.Silver with Green's Charizard and Blue's Blastoise -- Only to meet Sabrina also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina then informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokemon League to which later he arrives at the scene in time to save Green, Brock and Erika from a train crash. [break][break] Red and Green then travel underground with Green's new Rhydon towards the Ilex Forest, where the villainous Masked Man headed. Along the way they end up meeting Bruno and Koga, two former enemies who end up helping them on their way -- Who end up telling them about Celebi. When the arrive at the Forest, Red and Green along with other Dex Holders then team up with several legendary Pokemon to fight the Masked Man. During this battle, Red actually ends up learning that Yellow is a girl. After the battle he ends up having Gold ( who for some reason seemed impressed by him) come with him to train at Mt.Silver.
&& NEW CLOTHES?!
A few years later, Red makes a re-appearance, having been off training -- Wearing a new jacket (jeez you'd think he'd have other clothes). Red and Green meet up with the Professor at the lab where they end up finding mysterious messages that asked them to leave their Pokedexes and head straight over to Vermillion City, and that was exactly what they did. Upon reaching Vermillion City, the two board the Seagallop Ferry in order to get to the Sevii Islands where they also find Blue being attacked by Deoxys. Soon after they are confronted by the newly formed Team Rocket Admins, the Three Beasts along with Deoxys who was under the control of none other than Giovanni himself, where they found out that they had kidnapped Prof.Oak once again. [break][break] After this -- Red ends up undergoing special training under Ultima on the Two Island, where his Saur (now a Venusaur) learned the legendary grass-type move Frenzy Plant. However, Red was still defeated by Deoxys, who he somehow shared a strange connection with -- After this battle, Red lost the confidence to fight, but after a while he ended up re-gaining his will where he understood the meaning of his connection to Deoxys. Mewtwo makes an appearance where he offers to battle under Red's command -- The pair then arrive at the Team Rocket's helicopter that was hovering over Viridian City, where Giovanni was searching for his long lost son, Silver. The pair then once again laid out a rather long a fierce battle, Mewtwo managed to defeat Deoxy, however victory was rather short as Car (one of the Three Beasts) rebelled against Team Rocket and after placing his Forretess all over the helicopter and ordering them to use explosion -- Which ends up taking over the helicopter. [break][break] Whilst Deoxys transports everyone else aboard the helicopter to safter, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and to stop the aircraft from blowing up over Vermillion City, within the process he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab before all of this -- Afterwards Red ended up getting turned into stone along with other Dex Holders by Sird's beam that was originally inteded for Deoxys.
&& Made of Stone we became
Red along with Blue, Green, Silver and Yellow were all transported as statues within boxes on the S.S.Tidal via the other Dex Holders to the Battle Frontier for their salvation -- For a fair few months he remained a statue til Emerald liberated him and the others via a wish that he made via Jiraichi. Once free Red and the others helped fight Guile Gideout, within the aftermath of the battle, Red and others participated within the Battle Dome Tournament, which ultimately ended up with Emerald claiming the Tactic Symbol. After this -- Red goes back to training for a few years in order to keep getting stronger.
&& Brought back to the fray
After being out of the trouble, Red ends up getting a dire call from Bill who informed him that the Ruby and Sapphire shards that were taken from Team Rocket had turned into Orbs -- Bill told him that he feared that something may happen and requested that Red were to come over to help him with the shards. Red goes to Bills with Blue and Daisy -- Upon arriving, they find that Bill had been attacked by two men who had stolen the orbs -- Red and Blue left Bill in Daisy's care as they went after the two people that had just stolen the orbs via the tracking device. [break][break] The pair end up in the Hoenn region and eventually catch up to the thieves who end up being none other than Maxie of Team Magma and Archie of Team Aqua, they over-hear the plans to use the orbs for some purpose in which the pair decide to battle the two leaders all in order to avenge Bill along with taking the orbs back. Ofcourse Maxie and Archie started their battle via pulling out their mega-evolved pokemon -- But Red and Blue countered this by using their own. Red and Blue manage to defeat them but end up being startled by the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre where Maxie and Archie end up using the orbs to Primal Evolve them.With the increased power, Groudon easily defeat both Red and Green by smashing them under a pile of rubble. [break][break] Afterwards, Red wakes up inside of a strange building, only to find that their belongings and Poke Balls and all been taken away. They then end up meeting Blaise and Amber who also had their stuff taken -- Pretty soon they found out that it was actually Giovanni who had taken their stuff, having taken them all onboard his Team Rocket airship, where he ends up revealing that he wants to help them stop the meteoroid that was incoming. [break][break] Red then travels with the others to Sootopolis City where they end up finding Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald discussing a plan to destroy the meteoroid -- Red and his group then demonstrate that it was still possible to Mega-Evolve outside of battles, with this revelation Red listened to Giovanni's speculation that the meteoroid could actually be a pokemon from out of space -- Blue then ends up suggesting that they gather allies from Hoenn, Kanto and Johto where they combined their power to slow down the meteroid, where it was revealed to be another Deoxys.
&& Losing the voice
After the meteoroid, Red went back to Mt.Silver feeling the need to train harder as to not get defeated again by the likes of villains and mega/primal evolutions. During the training there was a landslide upon the mountain which was about to fall and crush Red, but like most other times -- Poli came tho save the day, pushing Red out of the way Poli ended up getting hit by a bombardment of rocks and fell off the side of the Mountain. Red searched for 3 months within the area trying to find his best friend, but found nothing -- Distraught at not having been able to find his partner, he made a grave which was just a pair of bigger to smaller rocks pilled up onto each other at the place Red last saw Poli. [break][break] With the loss of his partner, he never really spoke again, he would just end up giving grunts and moans towards things but it was as if with the loss of Poli -- It was the loss of his voice.
&& Off to Lyeant we go!
With oddly much talking from Green, he was convinced to go to Lyeant -- Upon landing, he departed rather quickly away from the other Kanto holders, not only wanting to learn about the area, but he also wanted to train his team as to not lose another partner like he did with Poli. Red kept his distance from the Kanto Dex holders and majority of the other dex holders as he just felt like he needed to stay being a lone for a time being, not being over the 'death' of his Poli. [break][break] Where will Red's adventures take him next? Will it take him to re-joining the other Dex Holders or will it keep him distant from them? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON TO BITTER ENDINGS!
