{{spoilers}}
The story starts off 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, [[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.
In Pallet Town, a group of young children are attempting to catch a {{p|Nidorino}}. After failing numerous times, a boy named {{adv|Red}} walks up to the group and explains that if they want to catch a Pokémon, they must weaken it in battle first. He then sends out his very own {{p|Poliwhirl}} to deal with the Nidorino. After the Poliwhirl weakens it by using {{m|Water Gun}}, Red throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the Nidorino and successfully catches him. Red then [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling the reader that he is the best '''[[Pokémon Trainer]]''' around, explains the concept of Pokémon to the reader, and tells the reader that he will catch all the Pokémon in the '''[[Pokémon world|world]]'''.
 
While heading home, one of the boys in the group asks Red if he knows {{adv|Professor Oak}}, and then tells Red that they can learn a thing or two from him. Red then tells the group that they do not need that "old nut," as Red can teach them everything they need to know. Another member of the group then tells Red that {{adv|Blue|Oak's grandson}} is one of the best Trainers around and that he was taught by Oak himself. Red then tells the group that he does not care who this powerful Trainer is, as Red can easily defeat him anyway. The group then says goodbye to Red, and he continues to walk home. Lost in thought, he accidentally runs into a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. One of the Grunts scolds him, and, as they walk away, he notices a pair of [[Great Ball]]s on each of their belts. Curious, Red decides to follow them and hides in the tall grass, where he overhears a conversation between the Grunts about a {{adv|Mew|mysterious Pokémon}} in the [[Western Forest|West Wood]]. After hearing this, Red is determined to catch it and runs home to get some Poké Balls.  


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 try 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 the the western forest, Red runs off home to grab a armful of Poké Ball to capture this "Phantom Pokémon" with. Shortly after, Red enter the western forest with a great heap of Poké Balls. He spots another trainer in the forest battling a rare glowing Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}. The other trainer, [[Blue]] sends {{p|Charmander}} out to attack the wild Pokémon. {{p|Mew}} dodges the powerful attack from Charmander and remains there still. Blue calmly calls his Charmander back into its Poké Ball and lets the rare Pokémon flee. Shocked that Blue is going to let this Pokémon flee, Red impulsively comes out of the bushes and tells Blue off, but Blue 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 suddenly flies off, leaving Red and Poliwhirl in a daze. Blue steps in and tells Red that he made a foolish chose in battling Mew, as Mew was superior to him. Blue walks off leaving Red dazed and confused. At that point, Team Rocket appear still trying to locate Mew, but only find Red lying there. One of the member start yelling at Red, but the others say that finding Mew is more important than the kid, running off soon after.
When Red enters the West Wood, he sees a {{adv|Blue|Trainer}} with a {{p|Charmander}} battling the mysterious Pokémon Red was searching for. Intrigued, Red decides to watch the intense battle. However, after a short while, the Trainer recalls the Charmander before the battle is over. Red gets mad and scolds the Trainer for it. He then sends out his Poliwhirl. However, the Poliwhirl is quickly beaten by the mysterious Pokémon, which leaves Red dumbfounded. The Trainer tells Red that good Trainers know what their limitations are, and then he walks away. The group of Team Rocket Grunts appear, and when they notice that the ground is all burned up, one of the Grunts demand answers from Red, but another Grunt reminds him that they are in the Woods for the {{adv|Mew}}, not for questioning kids.


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.
After healing his Poliwhirl, Red returns to Pallet Town, and when he sees [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], he decides that the only way to become a good Pokémon Trainer is through Oak, and so Red rings the doorbell of the lab.

In Pallet Town, a group of young children are attempting to catch a Nidorino. After failing numerous times, a boy named Red walks up to the group and explains that if they want to catch a Pokémon, they must weaken it in battle first. He then sends out his very own Poliwhirl to deal with the Nidorino. After the Poliwhirl weakens it by using Water Gun, Red throws a Poké Ball at the Nidorino and successfully catches him. Red then breaks the fourth wall by telling the reader that he is the best Pokémon Trainer around, explains the concept of Pokémon to the reader, and tells the reader that he will catch all the Pokémon in the world.

While heading home, one of the boys in the group asks Red if he knows Professor Oak, and then tells Red that they can learn a thing or two from him. Red then tells the group that they do not need that "old nut," as Red can teach them everything they need to know. Another member of the group then tells Red that Oak's grandson is one of the best Trainers around and that he was taught by Oak himself. Red then tells the group that he does not care who this powerful Trainer is, as Red can easily defeat him anyway. The group then says goodbye to Red, and he continues to walk home. Lost in thought, he accidentally runs into a group of Team Rocket Grunts. One of the Grunts scolds him, and, as they walk away, he notices a pair of Great Balls on each of their belts. Curious, Red decides to follow them and hides in the tall grass, where he overhears a conversation between the Grunts about a mysterious Pokémon in the West Wood. After hearing this, Red is determined to catch it and runs home to get some Poké Balls.

When Red enters the West Wood, he sees a Trainer with a Charmander battling the mysterious Pokémon Red was searching for. Intrigued, Red decides to watch the intense battle.
