==Blurb==

==Plot==
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 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. 

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. The story ends with Red ringing the doorbell, waiting for what comes next.
