Red

File:New Look.PNG

Red's final look in the FR/LG saga of Pokémon Adventures.

Red is one of the protagonists of the Red/Green/Blue saga. He starts off in Pallet Town as an aspiring trainer, and gets a Bulbasaur and a Pokédex from Professor Oak. He also has a Pikachu he has known since childhood, and uses these two Pokémon on his adventure. Professor Oak's grandson, Green (Blue in Viz Media's English translations) is his childhood rival.

While trying to catch a mischievous girl named Blue, (Green in Viz Media's English translation) who stole his Gym badges, Red discovered information on the sinister Team Rocket, who were trying to clone the rarest Pokémon in the world, Mew, as part of a plan to create an unstoppable Pokémon called Mewtwo. Blue wanted to meet Mew and capture it for profit. She met Mew when battling Team Rocket, but she could only snap a quick picture of it before it left. Eventually, Red was obliged to team up with Blue and Green in order to beat Team Rocket’s Elite Triad, Lt. Surge, Koga, and Sabrina. Later, he faced off against the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni, alone and managed to defeat him. He then battled Green in the Pokémon League, emerged victorious, and thus attracted the attention of the Elite Four.

In the Yellow saga, Red had been kidnapped by the Elite Four and frozen in a block of ice. When he did finally manage to escape with the aid of Giovanni, he sought out his allies and defeated the Elite Four. He later appeared in the Gold/Silver saga to help the protagonists fight against the Mask of Ice, the leader of Neo Team Rocket.

Red played a leading role again in the FireRed/LeafGreen saga, when he teamed up with Blue and Green to rescue Professor Oak, who had been kidnapped and taken to the Sevii Islands. While there, he encountered a newly revived Team Rocket and the new Beast Warrior Trio, Oca, Jaguara, and Storc, as well as the evil psychic Pokémon, Deoxys. After his team lost to them, Mewtwo appeared to help them. The team then managed to defeat Giovanni and Deoxys once and for all, but, along with the rest of his team, got turned into stone doing so.

Green

Green (Blue in Viz Media's English translation) is one of the protagonists of the Red/Green/Blue saga. He started his journey with a Charmander and continued to train it well throughout his adventure, making it the first out of the three starters to evolve. Starting out quite cocky and aloof, Green grew less cocky and more aloof as the series progressed.

In volume 3, he helped Red and Blue defeat Sabrina, one of Team Rocket's Elite Triad. Later, he battled Red in the Pokémon League, losing just very slightly. This caused the two to gain respect for each other.

Green is known to have a knack for Pokémon training. When he was younger, he was taught to fight and train by his master, Chuck, the Cianwood City Gym Leader. His training was unique, as Chuck forced him to train up his body, to be able to relate to his Pokémon better.

In the Yellow Caballero saga, Green helped Yellow by “training” her as well, living up to his reputation as the best Pokémon Trainer. He came back later to help her fight the Elite Four.

One year later, in the Gold/Silver arc, Green and Red competed for the position of Viridian City Gym Leader. Red won, but was forced to decline because of his wounds, and Green became the new Gym Leader. He later helped out in the final battle with the Mask of Ice, the leader of Neo Team Rocket. Later still, in the FireRed/LeafGreen arc, he helped Red disband a newly-resurrected Team Rocket but got turned to stone doing so.

Blue

Blue (ブルー, Burū) (Green in Viz Media's English translation) is one of the protagonists of the Red/Green/Blue arc. She stole her starter Pokémon, Squirtle, from Professor Oak as, having been kidnapped long ago by Ho-Oh, she could never have a PokéDex, nor her own Pokémon, because no one knew she was from Pallet Town, and no one would find reason to offer these gifts to a stranger. As the series progressed, however, she decides to team up with the other Pallet Town trainers, Red and Green, in order to defeat Sabrina of Team Rocket.

Blue returned later in the saga, having qualified for the Pokémon League Tournament. She progressed through the tournament and made it into the semifinals, but was defeated by Professor Oak. On knowing her problem, Professor Oak took pity on her, and gave her the third PokéDex and forgave her for stealing his Squirtle.

In the Yellow Saga, set two years later, Blue was a sort of "shadow" trainer, trailing Yellow. In the third volume, it is revealed that she had been snatched at the age of five by a mysterious bird Pokémon (Ho-oh), which gave her a debilitating phobia of Flying-type Pokémon. Blue blamed the Elite Four for this disaster, carrying a grudge against the Elite Four into the Gold/Silversaga.

In the Gold/Silver saga, Blue first appeared in volume 13, when she was shown at a Pokémon Gym Leader's Tournament. It is revealed that she and Silver had escaped from the grasp of the Mask of Ice, the leader of Neo Team Rocket, at a young age, while others abducted along with them remained and became the Mask of Ice's servants. She later helped out in the final battle against the Mask of Ice.

In the FireRed/LeafGreen saga, Blue teamed up with Red and Green to rescue Professor Oak and her parents, who had been kidnapped by the evil Psychic Pokémon Deoxys and taken to the Sevii Islands. In the end of this saga, they manage to stop Deoxys and disband the newly-revived Team Rocket, but get turned to stone in the bargain.

Yellow

Yellow was born in the Viridian Forest, which explains the fact that she has the powers to heal Pokémon and hear their thoughts. Her birthday is the Third of March, and has had fourteen birthdays after she was born. She lived on the countryside of Viridian City, and has six Pokémon, all nicknamed.

Yellow appears in the Pokémon Adventures manga, she appears in the R/G/B saga through the G/S/C saga, did not appear in the R/S/E saga, but then reappeared in the FR/LG arc.

Yellow

In R/G/B saga

Yellow first appears in the final volume of the R/G/B saga. After losing her way in the Viridian Forest, Yellow is attacked by a wild Dratini. Red saves her, then takes her back to her hometown, Viridian City, and helps her catch her first Pokémon, a Rattata. After that, he goes off to fight Giovanni and beats him, but he is so injured that he faints at the forest edge. Yellow finds him and nurses him back to health. She never gives him her name until the Yellow saga. (It isn't until the G/S/C saga that Red finds out that the girl he saved and Yellow are the same person.)

In Yellow saga

Two years later, Yellow shows up at Professor Oak's lab disguised as a boy. Her personality becomes clear in the Yellow saga. She is a happy-go-lucky girl who isn't very good with Pokémon skills. She especially dislikes Pokémon battles because she cannot bring herself to hurt them. Green is the person who sends her on a mission to save Red, because of her mysterious Viridian Powers that allow her to heal and communicate with Pokémon. Every few years, a baby of Viridian Forest is blessed with these powers. Lance, the leader of the Elite Four, and Giovanni, of Team Rocket, (the last people known to have seen Red), also has these powers. Thus, Green sends Yellow because she is one of the few people who can even stand a chance against him. Her true gender is revealed at the end of volume six to Blaine, but she is too shy to tell Red now.

In G/S/C saga

Readers first see Yellow in the G/S/C Saga as a girl, greeting her uncle Wilton (a fisherman), who asks for her help regarding the legendary birds in Johto. She has a female Pikachu called Chuchu, whom she had found hurt and wandering in the forest. When she goes to meet Red (whom she has stayed in touch with ever since she defeated Lance), Yellow wears her hat to keep her identity hidden. She goes on to cheer him and Blue on at the Gym Leader test, and is deeply concerned about Red when he grew weak (because of his ice freeze one year ago). After the challenge, Blue gives Red some information on the cure for his hands, and he flies off on Charizard, leaving his Pikachu, Pika, behind. Instead, Yellow brings Pika along on her trip into Johto.

There, Yellow meets up with Crystal, and it is revealed that Yellow was the one who woke up the 3 legendary beasts - Suicune, Raikou, and Entei - from within the Burned Tower in Ecruteak. The two of them work together briefly, until they are separated by Lugia at sea.

After the attack, Yellow and her uncle washed up on shore, where they were brought to the daycare center run by an elderly couple. Upon awaking, she finds that the center is filled with Pokémon couples, and that Pika and Chuchu had an egg. She and Wilton are enlisted by the daycare lady to blow up balloons, but they are interrupted by a group of ostensibly Team Rocket members; however, they have half-masks over their faces, meaning they are minions of the Mask of Ice. Yellow holds back the Rocket grunts while the others escape, but they seem only to be interested in Yellow's hat. In truth, the two feathers on her hat are the Silver Wing from Lugia and the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh. They are the keys to traveling in time, stolen from the Mask of Ice many years ago and planted there by Green. This explains why the Mask of Ice has been trying to catch Lugia and Ho-Oh.

After fleeing from the center, Yellow meets up again with the Pikachus, and they continue to Ilex Forest, where they find Crystal, Silver, Red, Green, and Blue, battling the Mask of Ice. He captures them with his ice sculptures, which cannot be melted except with Entei's legendary flame. As the Mask of Ice catches Celebi and travels back in time, they find that Gold is trapped within time and needs the feathers to be freed. Gold and Yellow finally realize that the Wings are on her hat, and she is forced to take it off in front of Red in order to save Gold. At this point Red finally learns Yellow’s true identity. After the battle, Red gets a call from Misty, and there is a tense moment between the three, until Gold snatches Red away for training.

In FR/LG arc

During the Fire Red/Leaf Green arc, she returns to Viridian City and attempts to battle Blue's (Green in the Japanese version of the manga) team of gym Pokémon, which have been raised well and can battle without his direction, but loses. While there, she meets Silver, who believes that he may have originally come from this area and had ties to the Viridian gym before he was kidnapped by Mask of Ice, and is now looking for his family. With her aid and the sudden arrival of Oca and Storc (whom the two promptly face in a battle), Silver learns that he is in fact the son of Giovanni, former Viridian City gym leader and head of Team Rocket. After he is kidnapped by the evil duo, Yellow gives chase on her Butterfree, Freesk, and soon manages to break into the Team Rocket helicopter to rescue him. She is later reunited with Red, Green, and Blue.

Gold

Gold (ゴールド, Gōrudo) Is the protagonist of one arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Gold is the first new trainer featured in the Gold and Silver arc of Pokémon Adventures. Hailing from New Bark Town, the boy is incredibly athletic and lives in a house full of various Pokémon. Because of this, the neighbours have dubbed him “The Pokémon boy”. He is the son of an immensely rich tycoon, and he himself indulges in luxuries. As a sign of his riches, he gold-plated his Pokéballs, thus earning him the name Gold.He started out with the pokemon Pichu

As one gets to know Gold better though, one finds he’s a kind-hearted but very hot-headed young man who doesn’t seem to think things over well. Another interesting note is that he can be rather perverted, and shows no shame about it either. When he first met Bugsy, he mistook him for a female and asked him out for tea. He also asked Jasmine, the Olivine City Gym Leader out on a date once. He can be compared to Fukuyama Kazuharu of Girls Bravo in terms of personality.

Silver

Silver (シルバー, Shirubā) is the red haired rival of the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc of Pokémon Adventures and the son of Giovanni, but Silver was kidnapped by the Mask of Ice as a child and grew up beside Green (Blue in the Japanese version). As the years went by however, the two children escaped and began the lives they have now. Silver traveled to Johto where he stole Professor Elm's Totodile.

Silver is a very silent and cold boy. The only real emotion he seems to show is when around Green, which leads many to believe he may feel more for her than friendship. After the group defeats the Mask of Ice, Silver doesn't appear again except in a special manga short where he gives Green her new FireRed/LeafGreen clothes, but then re-appears in the FR/LG Saga.

It is finally said in the FireRed and LeafGreen arc that Silver is Giovanni's son. Storc remarks that it is the Pokémon Deoxys which embodies the powers of space, and that the man giving commands is their leader, Giovanni. She then narrows her eyes, and with a wicked smirk, addresses Silver by his name, before stating that the man is also his very own father. Silver instantly feels as if the air has been knocked out of his lungs. His body begins to tremble and his immediate response is denial. He refuses to believe that the evil Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket which he has been fighting for so long, is actually his father, someone he has been searching for all these years.

After Silver got knocked out, Giovanni risked his life to save him. Silver was nearly unharmed, and Giovanni was heavily injured. Green points this out to Silver, and Silver finally accepts Giovanni as his father. He then declares to share some of his father's burden and together find means of redemption.

In the end of the FR/LG saga he, along with Blue, Green, Red and Yellow, are turned to stone due to some after-effects when they tried to stop Storc's last attack against Deoxys.

Crystal

Crystal is a character from Pokémon Adventures and the protagonist of the game Pokémon Crystal. She first appears in volume 10.

She's a specialist at capturing Pokémon, hired by Professor Oak. As a child, she took a bad fall and broke both of her arms. Because of the accident, she learned to catch Pokémon by kicking Poké Balls, a habit she kept long after her arms healed.

She had many Pokémon before first appearing, but her "starter" Pokémon was a Chikorita which escaped from Professor Elm's laboratory, desperate to go on a journey. Her Pokémon include a Smoochum, a Hitmonchan, a Parasect, a Arcanine,a Natu and Cubone. At the end of the G/S/C series she rides on the three legendary dogs to go help defeat Mask of Ice.

Later on in the series, she hired Emerald to capture Jirachi during the opening week of the Battle Frontier.

According to the series, she has captured at least one of every non-legendary Pokémon in the world, and has completed the Pokédex in every incarnation.

Brenden

File:Brenden Pokemon 2.PNG

Brenden in his later clothes

Brenden (ルビー, Rubī) is the main protagonist of Ruby & Sapphire Saga and recurring character of the Battle Frontier arcs of the Pokémon Adventures manga. He first appears in Volume 15.

Originally from the Johto region, he moved with his mother to Hoenn to live closer to his father Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City.

Brendan began the series as a vain and condescending young man who did have a good heart deep down inside. The day he arrived in Hoenn was his eleventh birthday. On that very day, he ran away from his new home since he thought Norman would not endorse his choice to be a Pokémon Trainer. This was true at first, but Norman had decided to let Brenden become a Coordinator when the boy turned eleven. Sadly, Brenden did not stay to find this out.

After running away, he met May, the daughter of Professor Birch. They made a bet with each other - they would both travel around Hoenn, each trying to achieve their respective goals in eighty days — she would try to win every Contest and he would try to win all eight Badges.

His first three Pokémon are a Pichu, Mudkip, and Ralts, but he lends Ralts to Wally and due to an earthquake which sends Brenden into a raging river, he did not get her back until much later on.

Brenden, along with May, underwent an outfit change at the end of Volume 19. It is later discovered that under his cap is a scar he received from a Salamence years ago in Johto when he met May. He also has had a crush on May since he first met her in Johto and confessed that to May at the end of Volume 21.

Brenden may dislike Pokémon Contests, but he is in fact an extremely capable Pokémon Trainer in his own right, possibly as strong as or even stronger than May is. At the age of six, he actually liked climbing trees and Pokémon Battles. However, when he injured himself while protecting May from Salamence, the girl became frightened and cried. Brenden assumed there and then that the reason May was scared was because he fought too fiercely and too wildly. From that day onwards, he specialised in Pokémon Battles, choosing only to Appeal when no one else was watching him.

Brenden is inspired by Brendan in the Pokémon video games, just like how May of the video games inspired Sapphire. However, unlike Brendan, Ruby is a Pokémon Coordinator and Brendan a Pokémon Trainer.

May

File:May Pokemon 3.PNG

May in her later clothes

May (サファイア, Safaia) is a protagonist in the Ruby & Sapphire Saga and recurring character in the Battle Frontier arcs of the Pokémon Adventures manga, first appearing in Volume 15.

The daughter of Professor Birch, she is a wild tomboy who usually wore clothing made out of leaves. She eventually encountered Brenden, the son of Petalburg Gym Leader Norman, who was then in the process of running away from his new home in Littleroot Town.

While saving Brenden from three Mightyena, May injured herself. In gratitude for saving him, Brenden dressed her wounds and made an outfit for her. In Volume 19, it is shown that the reason why May chose to wear the clothes he made for her was because he wrote, in a letter enclosed with the clothes, that the clothes would definitely fit her. May gets her third outfit change at the end of Volume 19. Once again, it was Brenden who made the clothes for her, and told her personally that the new clothes would fit her.

May may be wild and tomboyish, but in actuality, she is a devoted Pokémon Co'ordinnater who would go to any lengths to achieve her goals and protect what she treasures most. She was very upset when Brenden had declared that he would rather go back to Johto than stand beside the Gym Leaders as they prepare to face Team Aqua and Team Magma in Volume 19. She persuaded Winona to battle her later, and the Gym Leader was so impressed by her fighting spirit and her will to defend Hoenn that she gave Sapphire the Feather Badge.

In Volume 21, May was revealed to have a crush on Brenden, though it had been hinted at on several occasions before that.

May has her wild tomboyish personality, and Brenden his reckless stupid personality, because of an incident that happened when they met briefly at the age of five. She and Brenden were attacked by a wild Salamence. Brenden protected May, leading May to believe that she should stand up for herself more. It is highly probable that, because of this belief, she forsook Pokémon Battles and discarded her liking for fanciful stuff at that time, turning her attention to Pokémon Contests.

Mitsuru

Wally first appears in volume 15, and is the first hero character to not be named after one of the Game Boy/Game Boy Advance games. He’s a sickly young boy with a respiratory problem whose parents didn’t want him training Pokémon. However, Ruby lends Wally his Ralts, and with Ralts he captures a Kecleon. He later obtains other green Pokémon -- Cacturne, Roselia, Treecko (from Professor Birch), and Flygon (from Norman). Norman enlists Wally to help him awaken the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, because it is needed to stop Kyogre and Groudon from fighting and destroying the world. Wally sports an extra green vest in addition to his outfit in the games. The vest allows Wally to breathe normally in smoked filled areas that he normally could not due to his illness. At the end of the Ruby/Sapphire manga he returns Kirlia to Ruby, and his Poke-Dex to Professor Birch. However, his Grovyle was blasted off the Sky Pillar while Wally attempted to awaken Rayquaza for Norman. The Grovyle is rumoured to have evolved into Emerald's Sceptile as it shows an interest in his Pokedex, which had previously belonged to Wally.It is believed that Sceptile would belong to Emerald instead. Wally's Japanese name is Mitsuru.

Emerald

File:Emerald Pokémon.png

Emerald is a character in the Pokémon Adventures manga, a challenger in the Battle Frontier. He is an excellent battler and has proved it several times by defeating Noland, Lucy, Brandon and Greta. He is also considered good at catching Pokémon, and for that Crystal has hired him to catch the legendary Jirachi. Despite his great interest in Pokémon battling, he claims to not like Pokémon very much. Since he got a Sceptile, Sudowoodo and Dusclops from the Battle Frontier, he seems to accept them more and more. He appears to be extremely short, and he is actually shorter than he looks. Under his long sleeved clothes he has high platform shoes, and he always holds a pair of external mechanical hands which he holds with his real hands. However, this is mostly tactical places to keep most of his capturing equipment, for example his platform includes several rows with different kind of pokéballs. He also has a rare ability to calm Pokémon by making them remember their birthplace. He starts by spotting the Pokémon, and just by that he knows where it comes from. He then proceeds to pull out a small piece of ammo consisted by soil from the Pokémon's birthplace, and loads it into a special gun he carries. By shooting the ground there the Pokémon stands, the feeling can calm the Pokémon in a matter of seconds. Noteworthy, he is the only character except Yellow who is not based on anyone from the Pokémon games, although a character appears in Diamond and Pearl with a somewhat similar appearance.

Lucas

Lucas (ダイヤモンド, Daiyamondo) is a character in the latest series of the Pokémon Special manga in Japan, based on the main male character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. His appearance is based off the Diamond and Pearl Male character, Lucas.He started out with the pokemon Pachirisu.

Lucas is a good friend of Paul and the pair form a Pokémon trainer duo. Though seemingly dim-witted at first and possessing a perpetual habit of eating wherever he goes, Lucas is somewhat smarter than he looks. He stands up to foes in times of distress, and has been shown to be observant in a mishap involving wild Bidoof.

Due to a mix-up,Lucas believes that he and Paul are on a reality television series; if they successfully escort Ms. Berlitz to Mt. Coronet, they will receive a prize. Berlitz, believing the duo to be her bodyguards, gives them Pokédexes, Pokétches, and starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan. Lucas receives a Turtwig from her and nicknames it Ru.

Additionally, Lucas has a Munchlax nicknamed Be. Ru has now evolved into a Grotle.

Paul

Paul is a new character from Sinnoh and one of the three leading characters in the Diamond and Pearl arc of Pokémon Adventures.

Paul has a hasty personality and a habit of butting into coversations along with exploding with rage if a person does not give him eye contact when he speaks to them. He and Lucas are rivals, though Paul is known for frequently getting them into trouble. Together, they form a Pokémon trainer duo.

Because of a mix-up, he and Lucas think that escorting Ms. Berlitz to Mt. Coronet is part of a reality television show and by accomplishing this task, they will win a prize. Berlitz, believing the duo to be her bodyguards, gives them Pokédexes, Pokétches, and starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan. Paul receives a Chimchar from Berlitz, which has evolved into a Monferno. Along with Chimchar, he also has a Chatot and a Psyduck.

Dawn

Dawn Berlitz (ベルリッツ Berurittsu) is the female protagonist for the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl story arc of Pokémon Adventures.

Dawn comes from a 200-year old family of wealthy scholars famous in Sinnoh. She wears pearl and diamond rings.

The Berlitz family tradition is for members coming of age to travel to the peak of Mt. Coronet to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of Berlitz's butler, Sebastian, her father hired two body guards to protect her in her journey. Professor Rowan provided her with three Pokédexes, three Pokétches, and three of his starter Pokémon so that Dawn would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

She owns the Piplup and a Ponyta. Her Piplup has now evolved into a Prinplup. Also, she is known to enter many competitions, such as Super Pokemon Contests.

Both Dawn and the character, Dawn, from the Pokémon, were inspired by the female character of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
