==Synopsis==
==Plot==
The chapter opens with {{Adv|Blue}} carrying many coins at the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. He is told that he could exchange the coins for a prize: a {{p|Porygon}}. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Celadon, {{Adv|Red}} is trying to get out of Celadon, but bumps into Blue. After a short greeting, Blue walks off and Red mentions that 'he is as friendly as ever.' Suddenly, someone screams and Red sees that two people are being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]]. He grins at a chance to be a hero and immediately sends out [[Pika|Pikachu]]. However, {{p|Charmeleon}} comes out. Red is shocked and decide to call out all his Pokémon. However, he sends out Golduck, Machoke, Pidgeot, and Scyther. Red realizes this isn't his Pokémon. Suddenly, the two women say Red must be the famous Blue because he has a [[Pokédex]], Charmeleon, and {{p|Golduck}}, but say that he is not good-looking. Red decide to {{pkmn|battle}} and orders Charmeleon to use {{m|Flamethrower}} but instead calls 'Charmander.' When he is unable to control the team, the two women realize he is a fake and he goes away cursing his luck. He then opens his Pokédex. His Pokémon have all got switched with Blue's. He sees the Pokémon working out on their own and admires how Blue trained his Pokémon so well. He tries to make the Pokémon obey him by playing with them, thus trying to get them to swim with him.

The chapter opens with {{adv|Blue}} carrying many coins at the [[Celadon Game Corner]], with the aim of exchanging them for a prize. Bringing Blue a Pokémon, the attendant informs Blue that unlike Pokémon that are personally caught, Pokémon exchanged at the Game Corner tend to be harder to control...


Meanwhile, Blue is training Red's Pokémon pretty well. He looks at the Pokédex and looks at the Pokémon that got switched with his. He then grins and decides to train them his way.
Meanwhile, {{adv|Red}} is trying to get out of {{ci|Celadon}}, but bumps into Blue chasing after the unruly {{p|Porygon}} he received at the Game Corner. After a short greeting, Blue walks off and Red mentions that 'he is as friendly as ever.' Suddenly, someone screams and Red sees that two women are being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]]. He grins at a chance to be a hero and immediately sends out [[Pika]]; however, {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon}} comes out instead. Red is shocked and tries to call out all his Pokémon, only to send out Golduck, Machoke, Pidgeot, and Scyther. As Red realize that the Pokémon all aren't his, the two women mistake Red for "the famous Blue" because he has a [[Pokédex]], Charmeleon, and {{p|Golduck}}. Pestered by the women into showing off his skills, Red decides to {{pkmn|battle}} and orders Charmeleon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but mistakenly calls it '{{p|Charmander}}' - much to the Pokémon's complete lack of response, and leaving Red to be trampled by the wild Pokémon horde.


After three days, Red and Blue's Pokémon sit round a campfire. Red offers the Pokémon dinner but they turn away. Red says how he just can't win with these Pokémon. He then reveals that he only caught two Pokémon during the three days: {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Krabby}}. Then he spots a {{p|Ninetales}} and realizes it is fighting something. The 'something' is actually Red's Pikachu, being commanded by Blue. Blue has thought it a variety of moves that are not {{type2|Electric}} and orders Pikachu to use a {{type2|Poison}} attack. He then says that just because Pikachu was an electric Pokémon doesn't mean a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} could not teach it non-electric attacks. He tells Pikachu to finish it but the Ninetales gets away. It runs toward Red and Red is scared. He sends out Machoke as the Ninetales uses a Flamethrower. Blue then shouts at Red and asks him whether he is trying to kill his Machoke. Red argues back by saying that Blue has also worn out Pikachu. Blue looks away, saying that it is no big deal. Then he tells Red to save his Machoke. Suddenly, Blue's Machoke [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Machamp}} and is able to weaken the Ninetales. Blue captures it with Red's [[Poké Ball]], and keeps it. Although Red's Poké Ball caught it, Blue argues that it was his Machamp that weakened it and succeeds in claiming it.  
Some time later, Red recalls how the women called him a fake and insulted him after his spectacular failure, grimacing that he would have won with his own Pokémon on hand. Observing that all his Pokémon were switched with Blue's, Red trembles as he realizes he doesn't know how to use them, just as the Pokémon all get up and start training by themselves with a jog. Red admires how Blue trained his Pokémon so well, but figures that they wouldn't take orders from him - unless they could bond first. Much to the Pokémon's surprise Red calls them to stop training, and join him for a swim instead. Meanwhile, Blue is training Red's Pokémon. As [[Poli]], [[Saur]] and [[Pika]] struggle to keep up Blue studies the Pokédex and looks at the Pokémon that got switched with his, deciding to train them his way.


As the Pokémon return to their respective trainers, they find out something is wrong with their usual attitude. Blue's Pokémon have become cheerful instead of calmer and frowning more. Also, instead of being cheerful, Red's Pokémon have taken up Blue's Pokémon's usual attitude.
After three days, Red sits at a campfire with Blue's Pokémon. While the Pokémon no longer show aggression towards Red, he notes that even after this time they still don't obey him, giving him only two Pokémon captures during the three days: {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Krabby}}. Gazing into the distance, he spots a {{p|Ninetales}} and realizes it is fighting something - to be precise, Red's Pikachu, being commanded by Blue. Blue orders a {{m|Toxic}} from Pika, who delivers the attack with a gash from its tail, and remarks that while Pikachu is an Electric Pokémon, it didn't mean a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} could not teach it non-Electric attacks. He tells Pikachu to finish it but the Ninetales gets away; the latter charging at Red and releasing fire towards him. In response, Red reflexively sends out Blue's Machoke, much to Blue's anger as he catches up. The two begin arguing about how they're treating each other's Pokémon when suddenly, Blue's Machoke [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Machamp}} as it is attacked by Ninetales. With its new strength Machamp successfully manages to pin Ninetales, allowing both boys to throw their own [[Poké Ball]]s at it - Red's Poké Ball captures the Ninetales, but Blue argues that ''his'' Machamp was the one who weakened it for capture, and thus claims the Ninetales.
 
The next day, both Trainers have re-exchanged their Pokémon and gone their separate ways. Blue furiously notes that while he trained Red's Pokémon, Red didn't help his Pokémon grow - aside from Machamp, who for some reason couldn't evolve until Red held onto it temporarily; an observation Blue chalks up to coincidence, as he ponders the strangely affectionate demeanour of his Pokémon. Meanwhile, Red finds himself chased by his own Pokémon, who adopted Blue's serious attitude through training...
