Saur (Japanese: フッシー Fusshi) was the third Pokémon obtained by Red. He received it from Professor Oak in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

As a Bulbasaur

As an Ivysaur

Saur was given to Red when he accidentally released all of Professor Oak's Pokémon from his lab. After Red caught back all of his Pokémon, Red found Saur in Viridian Gym. Disaster struck as a wild Machoke appeared and attacked them. After the battle, Professor Oak saw the bonding between Saur and Red, as well as the fact that Saur learned how to use SolarBeam, and allowed him to keep him. He evolved into Ivysaur in Wartortle Wars at the gates of Celadon City, when he battled an attacking Primeape. Saur was temporarily under Blue's ownership by accident when Red and Blue's Poké Balls were swapped. He evolved again in The Winged Legends, when he, Blue's Charizard, and Blasty were battling the merged version of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. Red told Saur to keep attacking when he evolved. At the Pokémon League, he was the first Pokémon he sent out against Blue. In the end, along with Poli and Pika, he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard. In the Sevii Islands, Saur learned the move exclusive to the Grass-type starter families, Frenzy Plant. ‎
