[A ten-year-old boy is standing outside of the Viridian City gym, looking up at the building where he'll earn his eighth badge. Less than a year ago, this boy began his journey as a Pokemon trainer. But six years before that, he was a fleeing Champion, age eleven

He hated how he couldn't lift a finger to help any of his rivals. More precisely he didn't like himself. He kept waiting and waiting for a right moment to make a move, any move against the Project but days became months and the months became years. How... how long has it been now?
Blue inhales before dragging out a sigh at the sound of the door opening. Great, a new challenger. Maybe it was one of those Johto kids again--or a clone or...
He really didn't care who it was. Blue merely kept his gaze upon the gym floor. Who to start out with... did it really matter? The results were always the same. Always, always, always-]

He's confused, though. Where are all the junior trainers? All the other gyms had them, why is this one so empty? So quiet? It's... Kind of spooky.
Eventually he'll find his way through. That guy... Is he the gym leader? Something about the figure struck Red oddly, like he was familiar... But he's sure he's never met the Viridian City gym leader before.]

[Blue responds simply. That voice wasn't of Chris' and definitely not Kagura's. It sounded close to a friend of his, but it's been...shoot. How long was it since he saw any of those three? Pushing those thoughts aside he slowly lift his gaze only to find himself staring.
Red. It was Red! He looked exactly like he did all those years ago. Swallowing, Blue found his gaze lowering back down. He could feel himself starting to shake. How? Why?

He had to get Red out. He had to get him out, like with Taniyah. Think...think... he had to convince him somehow. Yet how?]
...sorry. You came a little too late. My official team's been wiped out earlier by a trainer from Johto. [...] But if you want, you can try a hand against me in an unofficial battle.
If you win, I'll give you my badge but if you lose... I want you to do me a favor.

... A favor? [Like running an errand or something? Red can totally do that. He'd even run by Celadon to get you some tea, man.]

So? Are you up for it? I'll warn you--my true team is stronger than the one I use for gym battles.
[Even after all the years he's been apart from Red, he still knew what buttons to push with him. He'll smile a little warmly. He had to win this one battle...for Red's sake.]

Hmm... What Pokemon to use... Maybe... Yeah!]

Go ahead and take your first shot. My girl can handle anything you hit her with.

An Eevee? This gym leader must be planning something. Red will carefully consider his options.]
