Redwald Walker

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

Early Life
When Redwald was a preschooler, he often visited 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 between him and a Pokémon. Eventually they turned out to be good friends to last for years.

As it was revealed by Greta Parker in, Redwald attended to high school before starting the summer camp at Oak's Lab, 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 early.

The Beginning


Redwald never left Pallet Town and spent his childhood in that place, living with his mother Fennel Walker, who works with Professor Oak at his laboratory as a chief assistant and their Pet Pokémon Meowth, which is owned by his mother. He has always dreamed of competing in the Kanto League with his best six Pokémon that he trained on his own. In the summer which he hit the age of 15, he was accepted to Professor Oak's summer camp to get a Pokémon Trainer License in order to make his goals come true.

He received his first Pokémon from Professor Oak in. Because of Eevee's stubborn and independent personality, Redwald had tough times getting along with him. As a response, Eevee only insisted on being careless about his trainer.

In the meantime, Redwald has once again encountered Greta in this camp. Although Redwald had no memories remained in his mind, Greta remembered Redwald and talked to him which caused them to become friends after all these years.

In, Redwald and Eevee were given a team work to accomplish. In order to do that, they had to solve a riddle and find out what item they were asked to find. As usual, Eevee cared about neither the task, nor Redwald. Eventually Redwald found out what mysterious item, Revive, he had to find with Greta. After he found the location of the item, he was about to take it until a Farfetch'd in the laboratory appeared and took it from him. Redwald and Eevee chased the Pokémon behind until the Pokémon left the laboratory and disappeared in the forest. As a response, Eevee stopped running behind the Pokémon to provoke Redwald's task and instead he lied on the ground. While Redwald was about to leave Eevee behind to get the item, Eevee was attacked by a group of wild Rattata and Raticate. As soon as Redwald heard the sound, he returned and protected Eevee, taking all the damage himself. That sacrifice finally let Redwald be trusted and respected by his partner. From that day on, Redwald and Eevee became better friends.

After Redwald was tasked to catch a Pokémon in Pallet Jungle, he visited the place with Greta and dedicated himself to catch a Pokémon for "a reason" rather than randomly encounter one to get it in. After their long wandering in the jungle, eventually they felt hungry and took their time to have a lunch. In the meantime, Redwald stated his particular interest in sandwiches, that he thinks sandwiches deserve some "respect" and should not be splitted in two pieces to share. But suddenly, a appeared and stole Redwald's food from him. Frustrated and nettled, Redwald challenged Pidgey 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, as Redwald did. As they kept exploring in the jungle to catch a Pokémon, Redwald encountered young trainers of Professor Oak who were talking about a "special Pokémon" who was fast, determined, clever and agile compared to its species. As Redwald and Greta eavesdropped on them, Redwald dedicated himself to catch that Pokémon as he found a reason for himself. When he asked which Pokémon it was they were talking about, the students stated that they were talking about a Pidgey.

Then Redwald decided to find that Pidgey and catch it. Eventually, he and Greta found the Pidgey battling a wild Ekans 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. Eventually Eevee defused Pidgey by using Growl and Bite, eventually Redwald caught Pidgey and expanded his team for the first time.

Redwald faced an angry wild Kangaskhan in Pallet Jungle in. After he, Greta and Blake were chased by her, Redwald found the solution to let Pidgey come out of his PokéBall and look for a safe place for them. As Pidgey flew away to do what his owner asked him, it took a whole day for him to return. That made Redwald feel bad and guilty about letting him go like that. Although Blake stated that a Pokémon that is caught by a PokéBall would never escape, Redwald still felt uncomfortable about it. When Redwald needed it the most, Pidgey appeared by the end of the day while Redwald was being attacked by a wild Kangaskhan, and protected his owner by attacking her. That was the first time Pidgey showed a sign of loyalty to Redwald.

Redwald participated in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition in. He passed through elemination round and quarter final successfully with his Pidgey and Eevee, respectively. Right after, he was one of the four students who made it to the semi finals. By a random draw, he was matched with Blake in that round. Therefore, Redwald and Blake had a two versus two battle in the. Redwald used his Eevee against. Since Cubone mastered his ability to use his bone, he made critical hits to Eevee. Eventually, as Redwald realised that Eevee was tired out, he substituted him with his Pidgey. Although Pidgey showed a brave performance by using his Tackle, Sand Attack and Gust, the battle ended up in a draw as both Pokémon fainted at the same time. Despite Redwald decided to keep using his Eevee against, after a couple of more rounds, Redwald decided to withdraw from the battle before Eevee fainted, as Eevee was not able to take damage anymore. When Blake accused Redwald not being a "true trainer", Redwald responded him as he claimed that "a true Trainer doesn’t care winning as a top priority".

After Redwald received his Pokémon trainer license by Professor Oak, he decided to go on a journey across Kanto to compete in the Kanto League in.



Part Red & Green
Redwald set off on his journey on with  in order to complete his achievement and make his dream come true - become a Champion. While they were on, training, Redwald and encountered wild Rattata and Raticate, who attempted to steal their food and escape. Despite of his 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.

Redwald found a lake on the route, in which a pack of Poliwag were living. While he and Greta were watching the pack, a wild Poliwhirl appeared and declared a battle to leader Poliwag of the pack. The leader Poliwag lost the battle to Poliwhirl, and let his throne be given to him, and banished. 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 three days, as Poliwag got much better than the time he faced the Poliwhirl, he declared another battle to him, but ended up losing it again. As Poliwag had nowhere to go, and needed a serious training to be able to defeat Poliwhirl, 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 got better. Poliwag accepted the offer, and joined Redwald's team.
