Redwald Walker

Redwald Walker, Red for short, is the main character of Pocket Monsters.

Early Life
When Redwald was a preschooler, he would often visit his mother at Oak's Laboratory. During those times, Professor Oak's Pokémon Assistant Clefable took care of Redwald occasionally. That was the first bond Redwald built with a Pokémon. Eventually, they turned out to be good friends to last for years.

For some unknown reason, Redwald had been rivals with since their childhood. It was never mentioned for why, but every time Redwald and Blake encounter each other, some of them would always try to despise the other, by underestimating their skills as a Pokémon Trainer.

As it was revealed by in, Redwald attended to the same high school of her before Professor Oak's Summer Camp, in where Greta got to know about Redwald for the first time, despite not having a conversation or making friendship. However, for some unknown reason, Redwald dropped out the high school early.

The Beginning


Redwald never left Pallet Town throughout his childhoold, in where he spent his whole life, living with his mother Fennel, who works for Professor Oak at his laboratory as the chief assistant, and their pet Pokémon Meowth, which is owned by his mother. As it was stated occasionally, Redwald always dreamed of competing in the Kanto League with his Pokémon some day. When he hit the age of 15, he was accepted to Professor Oak's summer camp, in where he would receive a Pokémon Trainer License, to take the first step of making his ultimate dream come true.

He received his first Pokémon from Oak in. At first, Redwald had troubles being friends with Eevee, or convincing him to obey his orders, due to Eevee's stubborn and independent personality. As a response to his attempts of being friends, Eevee just insisted on being careless about anything related to Redwald.

In the meantime, Redwald talked to Greta for the first time in the camp, as Greta attempted to the first conversation. Despite of Greta's good memory of remembering him, Redwald could not remember anything about Greta at all. But the conversation ended up with the friendship of two. It was also revealed that Redwald's everlasting rival was also accepted to the summer camp.

In, Professor Oak gave everyone a task to accomplish; solve the riddle and find out the item they are asked to find, and find it. Although Redwald and Greta tried hard to solve the riddles and find the items, Eevee commoved the accomplishment, as he carelessly slowed down Redwald, or left him behind while Redwald was trying to find the Revive. But once Eevee was attacked by wild Rattata and Raticate right outside of Oak's Laboratory, Redwald was the only one to protect Eevee, even though he took damage from the wild Pokémon himself. That nurturing sacrifice of Redwald gave Eevee trust, and from that day on, the two became good friends to last forever.

After Redwald and Eevee were tasked to catch a Pokémon in Pallet Jungle in, he visited the place with Greta and dedicated himself to catch a Pokémon for "a reason", rather than randomly encounter one to get it. After their long wandering in the jungle, they eventually felt hungry and took their time to have some lunch time. While Redwald was enjoying his sandwich, a appeared out of nowhere, and stole Redwald's sandwich. Frustrated and nettled, Redwald and Eevee chased Pidgey behind, and finally challenged him to a Pokémon Battle. During their battle, Pidgey protected himself with Sand Attack and fled after the mess he created by using Gust. Afterwards, Greta asked Redwald to let it go. At first, Redwald did not want it to happen that way, as he would always have full respect for sandwiches, but he realized that he had no other choice than focusing on accomplishing the task. As they kept exploring in the Pallet Jungle, Redwald overheard young trainers of Professor Oak who were talking about a "special Pokémon" who was fast, determined, clever and agile compared to its species. Redwald dedicated himself to catch that Pokémon as he found a reason for himself. When he asked the students which Pokémon they were talking about, the students stated that they were talking about a Pidgey.

Right after, Redwald decided to find that Pidgey and catch it. Eventually, he and Greta found the Pidgey battling a wild Ekans, which turned out to be the same Pidgey from the beginning. Despite Pidgey was Ekans' natural pray, Pidgey was quite compelling towards her. Eventually, Pidgey caused a scar on Ekans' body and fainted her for good. Redwald came out and challenged Pidgey to a Pokémon Battle in order to catch him. The battle between Eevee and Pidgey took place, and Eevee barely managed to weaken the foe, which let Redwald catch his first Pokémon, and expand his team for the first time.

Redwald participated in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition in. He qualified from the elimination round and quarter final with his Pidgey and Eevee, respectively. Later on, he was randomly drawn to battle Blake in the semi finals. In their two versus two battle in the, which ended up with the victory of Blake, as Redwald withdrew from the battle because Eevee was taking serious damages and went too far, although he was not fainted yet. After the battle, Blake accused Redwald not being a "true trainer". Redwald responded him by claiming that a true trainer would not care about winning as top priority.

In the end of the summer camp in, Redwald eventually earned his Pokémon Trainer License, the last thing he needed before going on a Pokémon Journey across Kanto to earn 8 badges and compete in Kanto League.



Part Red & Green
Redwald began his journey across Kanto in, along with Greta, in order to complete his achievement and make his ream come true; become a. While they were on, Redwald and Eevee encountered wild Rattata and Raticate, who attempted to steal their food and escape. Despite of their first encounter with Rattata and Raticate, Redwald did not step back, instead he challenged them to a Pokémon Battle. During the battle, Eevee performed a great struggle against both Pokémon, eventually improved using Double Team. That success in the early days of his journey made Redwald even prouder, and let him feel more confident in his team and himself.

Redwald found a lake on the route, in which a pack of Poliwag was living. While he and Greta were watching the pack, a wild Poliwhirl appeared and declared a battle to leader of the pack. The leader Poliwag lost the battle to Poliwhirl, let his throne be given to him, and banished. Right after, Redwald stopped him and offered to train him. Redwald and Poliwag spent three days full of training, focusing on his moves and balance, and using them properly. After the three days, Poliwag got much better than the time he faced the Poliwhirl, and he declared another battle to him. However, he ended up losing it again. As Poliwag lost his indignity twice, had nowhere to go, and needed a serious training to be able to defeat Poliwhirl or survive, Redwald made his offer to him, to travel with him the whole season, and battle for him in the league, eventually be brought back to challenge Poliwhirl another battle once he gets better. Poliwag accepted the offer, and joined Redwald's team.

While Redwald and Greta were in Viridian Forest, they were attacked by a Beedrill Pack. While they were running away, apepared before them and used his  to stop the pack. But afterwards, Eevee was badly poisoned, thus Greta and Eusine offered to help him to find the proper items to prepare a natural Antidote. But the group found themselves in a war between the Beedrill Pack and the Parasect Pack. Although Parasect pack was not nice to them in the beginning, once they figured out that Parasect pack was in need of help, they decided to help them against the Beedrill pack. Eventually Redwald, Greta and Eusine provided a protection to the pack, and their mission was completed. During that period, Redwald and Greta witnessed the knowledge and kind heart of Eusine that they offered Eusine to go along with them on their journey until the north of Cerulean City.

Personality
As it is revealed often, Redwald is a Pokémon Trainer who dedicates himself to the Pokémon and Pokémon World. He aims to be able to train every Pokémon in the world, and thus, he does his best to gain the Pokémon's trust and love, no matter how hard it would be. The struggle of building a bond with Eevee is one of the examples of this cause. He cares about Pokémon in the nature quite much, and wants to help them at every chance he gets as much as possible. The Pokémon is top priority for him on his journey. The capture of Poliwag is one of the examples of this intention. He also aims to participate in Kanto League, in which he would prove his skills as a Pokémon Trainer. In order to do that, he wants to train the best Pokémon he can catch. The capture of Pidgey is one of the examples of this goal. Although he lacks knowledge of Pokémon species, and sometimes loses the track of his behaviour, he is still in the progress of learning.

Redwald loves the food as it is stated in. His favourite food is sandwich, and he believes that the sandwiches deserve some "respect". He thinks that the sandwiches should not even be splitted in two pieces to be shared. When Pidgey stole the sandwich from Redwald, it drove him so crazy that he declared a personal war with the Pokémon, and chased him for miles.
