"Red, are you finished?"
"Yeah."
It had been around two hours or so since he had arrived back home to his mother, to which she had ordered him to get himself cleaned, that being because that he was rather dirty after being up in the mountain for such a long period of time. He really didn't care about getting clean while up there, it wasn't like there was anyone else up there.
He had quickly taken a shower as he cleaned himself up, getting rid of any signs of dirt or anything else. He had also then changed into a new pair of clothes that his mother seemed to have prepared, which were the exact same as to what he had been wearing for so long, but they were new and clean, void of rips and damages.
Red could be seen walking out through the doors of the house as his mother followed and stopped right at the door as he turned around to face her, to which she gave a smile as she looked down at the young trainer. Karan then bent down a bit before adjusting Red's cap as the youth blushed a bit in embarrassment.
"You do remember where Professor Oak's lab is, right?" His mother had asked as she placed both her hands on her hips. Red just silently nodded his head in response as he looked up at his mother. Karen smiled and nodded her head at this. "Good, I was worried you forgot after being gone for so long."
Karen then gave Red a quick embrace. To which they soon said their farewells as Red began running towards the laboratory, which reminded him of when he first started his journey.
He remembered running just like this to get his first pokemon, but this time he didn't have Blue running beside him, which he could only chuckle as he remembered them racing.
It didn't take long before he had arrived at the lab, since it was actually rather close by to his house. He looked up at the large staircase leading to the lab, which he ran up with ease and without even looking tired in the slightest. He arrived at the front door, to which he stared at it for a second before knocking on it three times.
Red waited patiently as he could the sound of footsteps coming from inside the laboratory. He could hear some items falling to the ground as also the cry of someone who had probably fallen over, to which he sweatdropped at all the noise he was currently hearing. What the heck was happening in there?
"I-I'm sorry, I just haven't cleaned quite yet!" The voice of a wise man could be heard as the doors to the lab opened in front of Red. When the man came into view, he looked rather aged and was wearing a white lab coat. Having worn a red dress shirt underneath along with very light brown pants as well. "R-Red, it really is you! You really are back!"
"...? You knew I was coming...?" Red tilted his head in confusion.
"Yes, of course! Karen called me immediately, I think you were showering or something during it! Come on in!" Oak welcomed Red into the lab happily as the youth nodded before walking in and looking around, not much has changed other than that there were a few more machines or so around the place. "I can see that you're doing well, surprisingly after being up on Mt Silver for two years."
"...!"
"Don't be so surprised." Oak grinned. "Blue had informed me of everything that happened after you had told him about where you were going. Plus, even if he didn't, you know that I would have ended up finding out at some point, right?"
"... I suppose so." Red sighed. At least Blue didn't end up telling every single damn person in the world where he was, that would have caused some major annoyances.
Blue was the only one that he had told about where his whereabouts were, to which he asked his rival to keep in a secret from everyone.
"Oh, I just remembered!" Oak called out. Red blinked as he turned around to look at the professor, who was running around trying to find something. He watched in confusion as he ran back over to the trainer with something in his hands. To which Red blinked at. "Take it! It's a new updated national Pokedex!"
"Really?" Red asked as he rose one eyebrow. Oak nodded his head with a smile as Red then took hold of the device, which looked quite similar to the original Kanto Pokedex, but it was far more refined and advanced looking than it was previously. His old Pokedex was not in such a good condition, the colour was coming off and everything.
"My, I haven't seen this in so long. It sure brings back memories." Oak chuckled as he took hold of Red's old Pokedex as Red fiddled around with the new one, which seemed to have many functions like calling, the map, basic Pokedex functions, and much more. "There's something else, though I'll need time to go get it."
"It's fine. I'll wait."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been around ten minutes since Professor Oak had gone off somewhere in the lab to go get whatever it was that he was looking for, to which Red had no idea what it was at all.
Though, from what he saw of the professor's face, it must be rather important or urgent to have him go looking for it like that.
Red could now be seen walking out of the lab's back door and into the large backyard that all the pokemon that Professor Oak was holding onto for trainers were playing and hanging around, some even from different regions outside of the Kanto region. He sure has been busy since he left.
Red looked around and smiled at all the many kinds of pokemon that were playing and resting, he felt the warm air brush against his new clothes as his eyes were still obscured by his hat. He then reached towards his waist and took hold of all six of his Pokeballs before tossing them forwards onto the field.
"Red! I'm here, I finally got what- oh my goodness!" Professor Oak went bug-eyed as he had run out the lab, only to freeze and stare agape at what had caught his vision.
Red turned around as Professor Oak could see the young trainer standing in front of six pokemon, and he knew that they belonged to the youth. "This... is incredible!"
Professor Oak could only gasp at the six pokemon that Red had standing behind him, and while the professor wouldn't normally react like this, his reasons were justified.
In front of him were six pokemon that you would quake in fear under no matter who you were, pokemon that held auras of unfathomable power.
The other pokemon that he was holding for other trainers all backed away in fear and awe as they stopped their activities to stare at the titans that stood in front of the lab, it was truly a sight that none of them had ever seen. All of Red's pokemon being what you would consider... anomalies. Absolute aberrations from their species!
The first pokemon was none other than Pikachu, who was the same size as any other Pikachu you would normally find. But, there was a difference, its fur being a bit darker due to the cold weathers and the sharpness of the tail.
Its ears being a bit pointier and its eyes having a strong sharp gaze, with blue electricity sparking around it every now and then.
The next pokemon was on all fours with midnight black fur along with golden ring patterns around its body and glowing red eyes, this being none other than an Umbreon, a dark-type evolution of the Eevee evolutionary line. This pokemon too was not normal as its stance was strong and seemed to be on guard yet calm as well.
The Umbreon's fur was beautiful as it was seen to be incredibly smooth and well taken care of, its piercing red eyes glowing continuously. The golden rings that littered its body were also seemingly tinted as if golden, not the normal yellow colour, but more of a beautiful jewel-like golden colour. Finally, muscles could even be seen visible from under its fur.
The next pokemon was mainly green in colour and stood on all four of its legs, and holding a bored expression on its face, this being Red's Venusaur. Who was by far much different from its species, being three times as large as its kind and with the flower on its back being slightly larger than the size of the pokemon itself. It also had what looked to be a scar running over its left eye.
Next up was a turtle pokemon that stood on both legs and had its arms crossed, keeping a narrowed look, this was none other than Red's Blastoise. Being three times as large as its normal species and with dark blue skin, the shell on its back being five times as hard as a normal Blastoise.
The cannons on its back also seemed to be bigger in size, and looked like they could probably shoot far more powerful attacks than a normal Blastoise.
The next pokemon closely resembled a dragon that stood on two legs, with its neck being rather long and having a pair of glowing red eyes, and it was slightly slouched over as both arms held onto its knees as its head was held to the right, but its gaze held forwards as the eyes were glowing crimson.
This pokemon was none other than Charizard, Red's first-ever pokemon and partner since his journey had started four years ago.
It was by far also an anomaly, being also three times as large as it species, and having the body of a deeper red than even its previous evolutionary stage, that of a Charmeleon.
The beast had incredibly defined and powerful looking wings as well as built arms and legs, a large scare could be found running along its back too. What caused Oak to drop his jaw, even more, was the flame that raged on the tip of its tail, burning at an incredible size, and the fact that it was a beautiful blue flame! The flame wasn't even being powered by the adrenaline of battle, this was it in its everyday stage!
"Wha...!" Professor Oak could only gasp in shock as he turned towards the last pokemon, a pokemon that he was well familiar with, which was a pokemon that had ended up causing Blue to suffer major injuries, only to soon be caught by the youth that it was standing close to as of right now.
The pokemon was none other than Mewtwo! A legendary psychic-type pokemon that is said to be a clone of Mew, another legendary pokemon!
The beast in front of him being that of a normal-sized Mewtwo, but having a pair of constant glowing blue eyes and with the purple tail being a deeper shade.
Furthermore, there was a dense yet incredibly thin powerful blue aura that surrounded the being, flowing up like fire.
"W-Wow, Red. You have certainly been training..." Professor Oak muttered as he held a nervous smile on his face.
Red blinked under his cap for a second before shrugging his shoulders at the comment, to which he then added. "So, what did you go off to get anyway, professor?"
"Oh! Of course, take a look at this!" Professor Oak reached into his lab pocket before handing what look to be a form of some kind, like a sheet or something for someone to fill in. Red seemed confused as he looked at the form, why did he have this? "What is this, professor? What's it for?"
"It's a registration sheet." Professor Oak grinned. Red seemed confused at the response as he looked at the professor with a look that seemed to want answers. "A registration sheet to sign someone up to go all the way to the Galar Region! To compete in the Galar League!"
"Galar, huh?"
"Yes! You said that you wanted to go there, right?" Professor Oak stated. Red nodded as the boy looked up at him, his eyes still being covered by his hat. "By signing this form, that means you are registering for the Galar League, endorsed by myself!"
"Endorsed?"
"Yes, I should explain. In Galar, for trainers to compete in the league, they are required to be endorsed by a notable individual such as a gym leader."
"I assume you are considered a notable trainer then?"
"Well, I don't want to brag. But, I am the most famous Pokemon Professor out there!"
"A new league, huh?"
"Yep. A new journey for you to partake in." Professor Oak smiled with a nod of his head. He then added something that really caught his and his pokemon's attention. "They say that their champion is undefeatable. But, knowing you though, I have a feeling you will be able to do it! So, how about it?"
"..." Red was silent as he turned towards his pokemon. All seemingly staring back at him with anticipated eyes, it seemed that they were all just curious as he was.
Pikachu gave a cry of excitement as sparks flowed from his cheeks. Red smiled as he thought about it, a new journey did sound interesting, and this new region was interesting too.
Though, the thought of something sinister happening made him curious and also wary. He had managed to defeat Team Rocket when they were in their prime, being far stronger than they were now, from what he had heard.
So, it was kind of in his person to start taking people down that were like them. More reason for him to go.
Professor Oak waited patiently as he then saw the young trainer in front of him turn his gaze upwards, now seeing the pair of eyes that held so much potential and determination.
The pair of crimson glowing red eyes now staring into his as the young man gave a small smile on his face as he held the form.
"I'll accept the challenge."
