The story starts in the quiet town of [[Pallet Town]], with a couple of children trying to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}. Seeing the children failing to do so, {{Special|Red}}, a famous trainer in his native Pallet Town, approaches and teaches the children how to catch a Pokémon. Red brings out his {{p|Poliwhirl}}, and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on the Nidorino, before throwing a [[Poké Ball]] and succeeding to capture it. On their way back home, the children start to ask Red about [[Professor Oak]], the great Pokémon Professor. Stubbornly, Red suggests he is better than this Professor Oak, but keeps the doubt at the back of his mind.
The story starts in [[Pallet Town]], where a small group of children are trying to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}. Seeing the children failing to do so, {{adv|Red}} approaches and teaches the children how to catch a Pokémon. Red brings out his {{p|Poliwhirl}}, and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on the Nidorino, before throwing a [[Poké Ball]] and succeeding to capture it. On their way back home, the children start to ask Red about {{adv|Professor Oak}}, the great Pokémon Professor. Stubbornly, Red suggests he is better than this Professor Oak, but keeps the doubt at the back of his mind.


Red says goodbye to the younger children, and heads off towards his house in a different direction. Thinking about Professor Oak, Red accidentally runs into a [[Team Rocket Grunt]]. The angry grunt shouts at Red and then walks off with the other [[Team Rocket]] members. Red notices some [[Poké Ball]]s hanging off one of the Grunt's belts, thinking they must be [[Pokémon Trainers]], he runs after them. After some time, the Team Rocket grunts stop, and Red hides in some bushes nearby. He overhears some of their conversation about a Phantom Pokémon inhabiting the western forest. After Team Rocket run off to the the western forest, Red runs home to grab an armful of Poké Ball to capture this "Phantom Pokémon" with. Shortly after, Red enters the western forest; he spots another trainer in the forest battling a rare glowing Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}. The other trainer, {{Special|Green}} sends {{p|Charmander}} out to attack the wild Pokémon. {{p|Mew}} dodges the powerful attack from Charmander and remains still. Green calmly calls his Charmander back into its Poké Ball and lets the rare Pokémon flee. Shocked that Green is going to let this Pokémon flee, Red impulsively comes out of the bushes and tells Green off, but Green says nothing. Determined to not let the Pokémon flee, Red chooses Poliwhirl to battle against Mew, commanding it to use {{m|Water Gun}}, but Mew suddenly counters to attack, knocking Poliwhirl out of battle. Mew flies off, leaving Red and Poliwhirl in a daze. Green steps in and tells Red that he made a foolish chose in battling Mew, as Mew was superior to him. Green walks off leaving Red dazed and confused. At that point, Team Rocket appear still trying to locate Mew, but only find Red kneeling there. One of the members start yelling at Red, but the others say that finding Mew is more important than the kid, running off soon after.
Red says goodbye to the younger children and departs for home. Lost in thought, Red accidentally bumps into a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, prompting the thug to scold him. Red notices some [[Poké Ball]]s hanging on one of the Grunt's belts, and realizing they are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, he decides to follow them. After some time, the Team Rocket Grunts stop, and Red hides in some bushes nearby. He overhears the group speaking about a 'Phantom Pokémon' inhabiting the western forest. After Team Rocket leaves for the western forest, Red runs home to grab an armful of Poké Ball to be used to capture the mysterious new Pokémon.  


It is sunset on the outskirts of Pallet Town, and Red continues to walk home after a long day. He spots Professor Oak's lab ahead, thinking he should avoid the place, thinking that Professor Oak is a mean, old nut. But then again, he thinks pulling out the Poké Ball that contains Poliwhirl from his pocket; he should meet Professor Oak and get some good advice. The story ends with Red ringing the doorbell, waiting for what comes next.
Entering the forest, Red spots another Trainer in the forest battling a rare glowing Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}. The other Trainer, {{adv|Blue}}, sends his {{p|Charmander}} out to attack the wild Pokémon. {{p|Mew}} easily evades Charmander's attacks, however, prompting Blue to recall his Pokémon. Shocked that Blue surrendered so quickly, Red impulsively comes out of the bushes and tells Blue off. Determined to not let the Pokémon escape, Red chooses Poliwhirl to battle against Mew, commanding it to use {{m|Water Gun}}, but Mew suddenly counters the attack, knocking out Poliwhirl. Mew leaves, leaving Red and Poliwhirl in a daze. Blue steps in and tells Red that he made a foolish choice in battling Mew, as Mew was superior in strength; Blue then leaves. Later, Team Rocket, still hot on Mew's trail, bump into Red for a second time. One of the members starts yelling at Red, but the others remind the grunt that finding Mew is more important than the kid.
 
With the sun setting on the outskirts of Pallet Town, Red heads home after a long day. Spotting Professor Oak's lab, he decides to go and meet Professor Oak, and hopefully be given some good advice. Red rang Professor Oak's doorbell. The story ends with Red finding the door unlocked.

The story starts in Pallet Town, where a small group of children are trying to capture a Nidorino. Seeing the children failing to do so, Red approaches and teaches the children how to catch a Pokémon. Red brings out his Poliwhirl, and uses Water Gun on the Nidorino, before throwing a Poké Ball and succeeding to capture it. On their way back home, the children start to ask Red about Professor Oak, the great Pokémon Professor. Stubbornly, Red suggests he is better than this Professor Oak, but keeps the doubt at the back of his mind.

Red says goodbye to the younger children and departs for home. Lost in thought, Red accidentally bumps into a Team Rocket Grunt, prompting the thug to scold him. Red notices some Poké Balls hanging on one of the Grunt's belts, and realizing they are Pokémon Trainers, he decides to follow them. After some time, the Team Rocket Grunts stop, and Red hides in some bushes nearby. He overhears the group speaking about a 'Phantom Pokémon' inhabiting the western forest. After Team Rocket leaves for the western forest, Red runs home to grab an armful of Poké Ball to be used to capture the mysterious new Pokémon.

Entering the forest, Red spots another Trainer in the forest battling a rare glowing Pokémon, Mew. The other Trainer, Blue, sends his Charmander out to attack the wild Pokémon. Mew easily evades Charmander's attacks, however, prompting Blue to recall his Pokémon. Shocked that Blue surrendered so quickly, Red impulsively comes out of the bushes and tells Blue off. Determined to not let the Pokémon escape, Red chooses Poliwhirl to battle against Mew, commanding it to use Water Gun, but Mew suddenly counters the attack, knocking out Poliwhirl. Mew leaves, leaving Red and Poliwhirl in a daze. Blue steps in and tells Red that he made a foolish choice in battling Mew, as Mew was superior in strength; Blue then leaves.
