In the games
api is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from Pallet Town. His adventure begins one hari when Professor Oak calls api and his rival, Green (Blue's video game counterpart), to his lab for a starter Pokémon. api has a choice of a Bulbasaur, Charmander, atau SquirtleFRLG. Depending on the Pokemon that api chooses, Green will choose the pokemon that has a type advantage over itFRLG. Green challenges api to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Fire.
After api has made his way to Viridian City to the north and taken a package back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives api and Green each a Pokédex with which to record data on all known pokemon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all pokemon in Kanto. From here, api and Green journey across Kanto, collecting pokemon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the Gym Leaders in turn, with Green always one step ahead, tampilkan up from time to time to impede Fire's progress.
api also comes across a gang of pokemon thieves, Team Rocket, several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. A member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on Route 24; and another lone member who has stolen a TM from a family in Cerulean City. Eventually, api uncovers a plot oleh Team Rocket, infiltrating their hideout beneath the Celadon Game Corner and encountering their boss, Giovanni. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, api uses the Silph Scope that Giovanni leaves behind to battle Ghost-type pokemon and save Mr. Fuji in the pokemon Tower in Lavender Town, who is being held hostage oleh Team Rocket. api soon journeys into Saffron City in the jantung of Kanto to find it overrun oleh Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented Master Ball from the Silph Co. President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.
With seven Badges in hand, api encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the Leader of the Viridian Gym, his final obstacle before the Elite Four of Indigo Plateau. api defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the Earth Badge—and causing Giovanni to realize that pokemon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.
Making it through Victory Road and finally to Indigo Plateau, api challenges the Indigo League. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Green has defeated them before him and is therefore the Champion of Kanto. api defeats Green in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern Sevii Islands, lead oleh Executive Archer, api reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force pokemon to evolve with radio waves.
After returning to Kanto from the Sevii Islands, api catches the Legendary birds: Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. He learns of Mewtwo, the only Kanto pokemon he has not caught. api makes his way to Cerulean Cave, where he finds and catches Mewtwo. With that, api has completed the Kanto Pokédex. Then he completes his National Pokédex if he caught all 386 Pokémon.
api did not appear in pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, but his video game counterpart, Red, continues as a wandering Trainer when Red wears Fire's clothing desain rather than his trademark Red/Green/Blue/Yellow desain when Red appears in pokemon HeartGold, atau SoulSilver. Eventually, Red, who wears Fire's clothing, making his way to the caves of Mt. Silver, where he trains his pokemon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.
Eventually, Ethan, atau Lyra arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, who wears Fire's trademarked cothing design, identified only as a pokemon Trainer. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again oleh either Ethan, atau Lyra in pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Also, api didn't appear in pokemon Black 2 and Black 2 and like in pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red (Fire's video game counterpart) will wear Fire's clothing design. Some time later, Red, who wears Fire's design, has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the Champions Tournament of the pokemon World Tournament in the Unova region.

In the Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
api himself appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, api sends his three pokemon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced oleh Michele Knotz in the English version and 半場友恵 Tomoe Hanba in the Japanese version.
In other games
api makes an appearance in both pokemon Colosseum and pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed atau LeafGreen peluru, cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. api also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of pokemon Battle Revolution, having a Double Battle against Leaf, using a Deoxys in its Attack Forme and a Wailord. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.
In the TFG
api appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set oleh the name of Red, selanjutnya Quest, of the pokemon Trading Figure Game. A recolor of the original api figure whose name was Red named Green, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the Groundbreakers expansion.
Counterparts
In the games
Red is Fire's video game counterpart. Red (Japanese: レッド Red) is the canon name of the player character in the Generation I games pokemon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow.
Red is known throughout as the Champion from Pallet Town, as well as the living legend for his defeat of Team Rocket in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the Generation II games pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, their Generation IV remakes pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and pokemon Stadium 2. He is also a participant in the pokemon World Tournament's Champions Tournament, who wears Fire's clothing, pokemon Black 2 and White 2.
Red did not appear in the Generation III remakes pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen despite pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are the remakes of pokemon Red and Green where it takes place in Kanto as api instead taking Red's place. Like api after Red, Red repise the same role in Generation I as api did in his Generation III Kanto counterpart except that Red can only have on his team any of the 151 pokemon available during Generation I compared to api whose having the ability to have any of the 386 pokemon available at that time in Generation III. Because of this, Red is considered a Generation I trainer while api is a Generation III trainer.
This will make Generation III the only generation that Red did not appear in even in the Generation III remakes pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.
In the anime
While api did not appear in pokemon Origins, his video game counterpart, Red, had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the pokemon Origins mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and Fire's desain from FireRed and LeafGreen. Red is voiced oleh Bryce Papenbrook in the English version and 竹内順子 Junko Takeuchi in the Japanese version.
Another direct counterpart of Red also appeared in pokemon Generations. Like pokemon Origins, Red shared Red's name, in-game role, and Fire's desain from FireRed and LeafGreen. He first appeared in The Adventure, where he captured a pikachu in Viridian Forest, and went on to experience various other adventures with his pikachu across other regions, encountering various wild and Legendary Pokémon. Because Red doesn't appear in pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, the writers gave Red a Vs. Seeker much like Fire's.
api makes his anime debut in pokemon Generations as he appeared briefly at the end of The Challenger, having just defeated the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau and preparing to challenge Green, which is also his anime debut, for the judul of the Champion. Surprisingly he has yet to have his pokemon owned at the end of The Challenger and his name has yet to be revealed despite api was his name.
Like in pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, api is not heard speaking during his appearance briefly at the end of The Challenger.
In the manga
In the pokemon Adventures manga
While api didn't appear in the pokemon Adventures manga, Red did wear Fire's cothing as Red is Red's direct counterpart in pokemon Adventures.
In the pokemon Pocket Monsters manga
A character in pokemon Ruby-Sapphire named Red who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Fire's appearance in pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.
Trivia
api is the only original male playable trainer that originally debut in a remake which happens to be pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, a Generation III remake.
api is the only male player character to have both male and female counterparts.
api is the only male player character to have a different male counterpart.
Despite many people call Fire, Red, api is not Red as Red and api are both different characters. This was true for Blue and Green.
api and Green are the only different characters that do not have a Bulbapedia page. Possible due to api and Green merged to Red's and Blue's page respectively making api and Green confusing for not having their own pages in Bulbapedia.
In pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, Green sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
Despite the ellipses before the battle, like in Generation I where Red appears in, when api was talking to Copycat in pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:
<Player>: Hi!
Do anda like POKéMON?
<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.
<Player>: Huh?
You're strange!
COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?
But, that's my favorit hobby!
Similarly, after giving Copycat a Poké Doll and having her teach Mimic to a compatible PokémonFRLG in return, like after Red gives Copycat a Poké Doll receiving TM31RGBY, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:
<Player>: Hi!
Thanks for earlier!
<Player>: Pardon?
<Player>: Is that fun to mimic my every move?
COPYCAT: anda bet!
It's a scream!
This implies that api is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.
Much like there is minimal information on Red's father along with his his anime counterpart's father, Ash's father, Fire's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an SNES at the Celadon Department Store in pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.
