Red

Red after becoming Champion: the Sevii Islands and Mt. Silver

In FireRed and LeafGreen, Red keeps training instead of staying at the Indigo Plateau, and in the Sevii Islands he runs into a Team Rocket remnant led by Executive Archer. His Earth Badge proves Giovanni disbanded the group, but the holdouts plan to revive it and have already worked out how to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves. He eventually withdraws to Mt. Silver to train alone, drifting so far from other people that he no longer even phones his mother.

Red on cards: Red's Challenge and Red & Blue
