Redwald Walker

Redwald Walker, Red for short, is the main character.

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 has taken care of Redwald occasionally. That is the first bond Redwald has built bond with a Pokémon. Eventually, they turned out to be good friends to last for years.

For some unknown reason, Redwald has been rivals with since their childhood. It is never mentioned why, but every time Redwald and Blake encounter each other, either one of them would always try to provoke the other by underestimating their skills as a Pokémon Trainer mostly.

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

The Beginning


Redwald never left Pallet Town throughout his childhoold, in where he has 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 that is owned by his mother. As it is stated occasionally, Redwald dreams of competing in Kanto League with his Pokémon some day. When he hits the age of 15, he is accepted to Professor Oak's summer camp, in where he would receive a Pokémon Trainer Licence, to take the first step of making his ultimate dream come true.

He receives his first Pokémon from Oak in. At first, Redwald has troubles with befriending 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 insists on being careless about anything related to Redwald.

In the meantime, Redwald talks to Greta first time in the camp, as Greta attempts to have the first conversation. Despite of Greta's good memory of remembering him, Redwald can't remember anything about Greta at all. It is also revealed that Redwald's everlasting rival is accepted to the summer camp.

In, Professor Oak gives everyone a task to accomplish; solve a riddle and find out the item they are asked to find, and find it. Although Redwald and Greta try hard to solve the riddles and find the items, Eevee commoves the accomplishment, as he carelessly slows down Redwald or leaves him behind while Redwald tries to find the. But once Eevee is attacked by wild Rattata and Raticate right outside of Oak's Laboratory, Redwald is the only one to protect Eevee, even though he takes damage himself. That nurturing sacrifice of Redwald gives Eevee trust, and from that day on, the two become good friends to last forever.

After Redwald and Eevee are tasked to catch a Pokémon in Pallet Jungle in, he visits there with Greta and dedicates 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 feel hungry and take their time to have some lunch. When Redwald enjoys his sandwich, a appears out of nowhere and steals Redwald's sandwich. Frustrated and nettled, Redwald and Eevee chase Pidgey behind and finally challenge him to a Pokémon Battle. During their battle, Pidgey protects himself with Sand Attack and flees after the mess he creates by using Gust. Afterwards, Greta asks Redwald to let it go. Although he doesn't want it let it go, he realizes that he has no other choice than focusing on accomplishing the task. As they keep exploring in Pallet Jungle, Redwald overhears young trainers of Professor Oak that are talking about a "special Pokémon" who is fast, determined, clever and agile compared to its species. Redwald dedicates himself to catch that Pokémon as he finds a reason for himself. When he asks the students which Pokémon they are talking about, the students state that they are talking about a Pidgey that has stolen Redwald's sandwich.

Right after, Redwald decides to find that Pidgey and catch it. Eventually, he and Greta find the Pidgey battling a wild Ekans. Despite Pidgey is Ekans' natural prey, Pidgey is quite compelling towards her. Eventually, Pidgey causes a scar on Ekans' body and faints her. Redwald comes out and challenges Pidgey to a Pokémon Battle in order to catch him. The battle between Eevee and Pidgey officially begins and Eevee barely manages to weaken him, but eventually lets Redwald catch Pidgey.

Redwald participates in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition in. He qualifies from the elimination round and quarter final with his Pidgey and Eevee, respectively. Later on, he is randomly drawn to battle Blake in the semi finals. In their two versus two battle in, Blake wins the battle because Redwald withdraws from the battle. He thinks Eevee has taken serious damages and gone too far. After the battle, Blake accuses Redwald not being a "true trainer". Redwald responds 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 earns his Pokémon Trainer Licence, the last thing he needs before going on a Pokémon Journey across Kanto to earn 8 badges and compete in Kanto League.

Part Red & Green


Redwald begins his journey across Kanto in, along with Greta, in order to accomplish his goal and make his dream come true; become a Champion. When they are on, Redwald and Eevee encounter wild Rattata and Raticate that attempt to steal their food and escape. Despite of their first encounter with Rattata and Raticate, Redwald doesn't step back, instead he challenges them to a battle. During the battle, Eevee performs a great struggle against both Pokémon, eventually improves Double Team. That success in the early days of his journey makes Redwald even prouder and lets him feel more confident in his team and himself.

Redwald finds a lake on the route, in which a pack of Poliwag lives. While he and Greta watch the pack, a wild Poliwhirl appears and declares a battle to leader of the pack. The leader Poliwag loses the battle to Poliwhirl and lets his throne be given to him, and is banished. Right after, Redwald stops him and offers to train him. Redwald and Poliwag spend three days full of special training, focusing on his moves and balance, and using them properly. After the three days, Poliwag gets much better than the time he has faced the Poliwhirl and he declares another battle to him. However, he ends up losing it again. As Poliwag loses his indignity twice, has nowhere to go and needs a serious training to be able to defeat Poliwhirl or survive, Redwald makes an offer to travel with him the whole season and battle for him in the league, eventually be brought back to challenge Poliwhirl to another battle once he gets better. Poliwag accepts the offer and joins Redwald's team.

When Redwald and Greta are in Viridian Forest, they are attacked by a Beedrill Pack. When they run away, apepars before them and uses his  to stop the pack. But afterwards, Eevee is badly poisoned. Thus, Greta and Eusine offer to help him find the proper items to prepare a natural. But the group finds themselves in a war between the Beedrill Pack and Parasect Pack. Even though Parasect Pack appears to be not nice to them in the beginning, they figure out that Parasect Pack is in need of help. They decided to help them overcome Beedrill Pack. Eventually Redwald, Greta and Eusine provide a protection to the Pack, and their mission is completed. During that period, Redwald and Greta witness the knowledge and kind heart of Eusine. They offer Eusine to go along with them on their journey until the north of Cerulean City.

Redwald decides to challenge Brock to a Pokémon battle in, however he figures out that Brock is in Mt. Pewter for a mission. Thus, Redwald and his friends go there to find him. On their way, they are attacked by a group of wild Graveler und Golem, from which they attempt to protect themselves, however end up being saved a man who reveals himself as Brock. After their introduction, Redwald and his friends go along with Brock to solve the mysterious incidents that occur in the area and help Brock fix the situation. After their help, Brock says that he particularly expects to see Redwald in the gym.

Right after that, Redwald visits the gym leader in in the Pewter Gym. The referee declares the rules being two on two battle. Only the challenger is able to substitute the Pokémon. Once the two Pokémon of each side is unable to battle, the battle is over. Thus, Redwald's first choice is his Pidgey, while Brock uses his Omanyte. Although the both sides are stubborn, Omanyte takes the advantage and makes Pidgey feel tired, which makes Redwald decide to substitute him with Eevee instead. Eevee manages to defeat Omanyte, however, he also becomes too tired. In the next round, Brock uses Geodude, the one he claims to be his Ace Pokémon. Geodude soon after defeats Eevee. Redwald calls Pidgey out, despite being exhausted, but loses the battle. Despite of that, Brock claims that Redwald cares about his Pokémon more than ordinary trainers and he earns his respect as a Pokémon trainer. Brock also lets Redwald know that he expects to see him any time soon for a rematch.

After his loss in the gym battle, Redwald begins to train his Pokémon harder in in order to face Brock once more and defeat him to get the Boulder Badge. While he is busy with that, he and his friends encounter a trainer, Jennifer Broom in Pallet Jungle, who is about to release her Pokémon,, although Tangela is left upset and desperate. Furiously, Redwald interrupts them and tries to help Tangela, although Jennifer is determined to release her. As a response to that, Redwald makes an offer to her. He trains the Pokémon for three days, and they would have a battle. If Tangela wins the round, Jennifer has to take her back on her team. Jennifer accepts it and lets Redwald train Tangela properly. With the help of Eusine, Redwald discovers Tangela's moves, strong sides and weaknesses. After that, he works on improving her abilities. In the meantime, Redwald and Tangela improves a relationship between each other. Three days later, the two trainer meet as they promised, and a battle begins against Jennifer's Psyduck. But Redwald and Tangela lose the battle and make Jennifer get away with it: Jennifer claims that Redwald and Tangela are meant for each other, as well as Eusine's claim that Redwald is the one to give Tangela the courage and passion to battle and Tangela has found the feeling of battle for true reasons in Redwald. Those claims encourage Redwald to offer Tangela to join his team and train along with him until the league, at where she would get another chance to defeat Jennifer's Pokémon. Tangela agrees with Redwald and joins his team.

After some more training, Redwald challenges Brock to a rematch in. During the battle, Redwald improves creative tactics that neither Greta, nor Eusine would expect from him. In this battle, Redwald first faces Brock's Aerodactyl. He uses his Poliwag against him. Despite of Aerodactyl's huge size and strong moves, Redwald uses Poliwag for protection in the beginning. When the time comes, he tells Poliwag to jump on Aerodactyl's back and use Water Gun from there. As Redwald expects, the attempt ends up with success. Later on, Redwald substitutes Poliwag with Tangela against Brock's Geodude. Although Geodude keeps dodging the moves from Tangela in the beginning, eventually Redwald manages to hold still Geodude by making Tangela use Vine Whip, and defeats him. However, before Redwald sees his victory, he passes out on the battlefield due to rush and excitement that his body can't take anymore. Despite of that, Brock hands over his first badge, Boulder Badge.

In, Redwald unites with Professor Oak, his mother Fennel and Blake once again. When they are still in Pewter City and residing at Pokécenter, Professor Oak's three Pokémon,, and  escape from the Pokécenter. As Professor Oak realizes that early in the morning, everybody is splitted in groups to search for the Pokémon in the city. Redwald and Fennel chase Charmander behind, eventually find him at the top of Clock Tower. Beucase of Charmander's biggest desire is flying, he decides to jump off from highest point of the city. Redwald, with the help of his Pokémon, saves Charmander from killing himself unintentionally. After that, Professor Oak gives the trainers the Pokémon that they have rescued. Redwald receives Charmander.

As they keep going on their adventure, Redwald encounters a hurt and fainted on. Although Greta thinks he is dead, Eusine realizes he is only hurt. They cure him carefully. When Sandshrew gains all his energy back, he challenges Redwald to a battle out of his pride. Eusine calls it the attempt of proving his power. In the battle, Redwald uses his Poliwag against him. Once he weakens the Pokémon, Redwald catches Sandshrew.

Redwald and friends help Professor Joshua find the fossils he searches in Mt. Moon in. After Professor Joshua survives several attacks from black uniformed men and wild Pokémon in the cave, he finds two fossils instead of one with the help of. Because of all the support he provides and Sandshrew's help, Joshua decides to give Helix Fossil to Redwald. He states that he would expect to see him in his laboratory in Cinnabar Island to revive the fossil.

Part Red & Blue


Upon arriving in Cerulean City, Redwald attempts to challenge Gym Leader to a Pokémon Battle. However, Tiffany in the Gym says it is impossible to challenge before accomplishing a trial. Therefore, Redwald goes to Cerulean Trial Site. He is told that he has to pass two stages. In the first stage, he has to swim against a stream and in the second round, he has to go in a cave and find a Hyper Potion. He may use one Pokémon on his team for each stage. He swims against the stream with his Poliwag. On their way, they are attacked by a Wartortle. Poliwag gets involved in a serious battle with him. Due to Wartortle's trained skills, he comes very close to defeat Poliwag. However, the Water-type move that he uses fires back at him due to Poliwag's ability Water Absorb, which turns the water attack into energy for himself. After this move, Poliwag gains energy and defeats Wartortle, letting Redwald reach to the next stage.

In the second stage, Redwald goes in a cave with his Pidgey. Although the cave is too dark, it is enlightened by glowing gems. Down under the water, Pidgey spots Hyper Potion. Before reaching it, a Seadra attacks Redwald and Pidgey. Although Redwald does his best to get rid of Seadra, the well trained Pokémon and Pidgey get in a tough battle. Once Seadra fires a Hydro Pump and Pidgey can't dodge it, he gets wet all around his body. Losing his energy, balance and consciousness, he drops in water. When Redwald gets ready to save him, Pidgey evolves into a Pidgeotto, grabs Hyper Potion, defeats Seadra and lets Redwald complete the trial. Later, Misty the Gym Leader greets Redwald in person and tells she expects to see him in Gym the next day.

Redwald challenges Misty to an official Pokémon Battle in. In that three on three battle, the first match-up is Redwald's Eevee against Misty's Slowbro. Slowbro first disables Eevee's reliable move Bite, then confuses him by using Confusion. Eevee hurts himself and receives damage from Water Gun attack as well, leaving Redwald to no choice but substitute him with Tangela. Right after appearing on the platform, Tangela uses her strongest weapon against Slowbro - Vine Whip, soon later being disabled as well. Just like it happened to Eevee, Tangela gets confused and hurts herself too. However, Redwald makes Tangela focus on the battle and gain some energy back through Absorb. When Tangela is directed in the corner, she improves a new move, Poison Powder. With Poison Powder's assistance, Tangela faints Slowbro in the end.

Misty then uses her Golduck. Redwald tries the same way but Golduck cuts off Tangela's vines with Fury Swipes, leaving Redwald to make the decision of calling her back to substitute with Eevee again. Golduck's Ice Beam freezes Eevee, making Eevee unable to move. Eevee receives several damages in a row. When Redwald is the desperate the most, Eevee improves Quick Attack, dodges the opponent's atacks and attacks the opponent. Misty states she is impressed with the fact that Redwald's Pokémon improved new moves in a row. Eventually, Eevee faints Golduck but he tires out as well.

As her last chance, Misty uses her Ace Pokémon Starmie. Redwald calls Pidgeotto out. In the beginning of the battle, Pidgeotto can't attack the opponent properly due to him not being used to his new body size and weight. He fails to keep his balance in the air at times. Redwald blames himself for not focusing on that issue enough sooner. Starmie hurts Pidgeotto with Thunderbolt and Bubble Beam, eventually letting him fall in the water. When Pidgeotto is about to faint, Misty rewards him with the Hyper Potion that Redwald found during his trial. Once he gets his energy back and keeps his balance better, he dodges most attacks from Starmie and hurts it properly. Eventually, Pidgeotto wins the round and lets Redwald be the victor. Redwald therefore receives his second badge.

Personality
As it is revealed often, Redwald is a Pokémon Trainer who dedicates himself to 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. Brock claims in that Redwald cares about his Pokémon more than ordinary trainers. 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. As a reference to that, Brock also claims in that Redwald earns his respect as a Pokémon trainer. 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 steals his sandwich, it drives him so crazy that he declares a personal war with the Pokémon, and chases him for miles.

As it is seen for the first time in, Redwald tends to lose control in big moments, such as gym battles. He feels the rush and excitement all around his body and goes harsh on himself or the opponent Pokémon in the battle. During the first experience, Redwald orders harsh moves on the opponent Pokémon, and eventually passes out before the battle is officially over.
