Red heals his Pokémon and heads to Pewter City to challenge the Gym Leader, who turns out to be Brock. Afterwards, Red is confronted by Brock, who tells him that Pokémon and their Trainers need to grow stronger together and tells him to begin challenging the Gym Leaders. While walking towards that area he finds Blue again and they battle 1 on 1. While fighting a Trainer who has a Nidoran♀, he attempts to capture that as well but finds out that he can only capture wild Pokémon and the Trainer tells him where he caught that Pokémon. Soon he captures Spearow, Caterpie, and Pidgey.

He then sees and captures his first Pokémon, Rattata. Red sees a Pidgey but fails to capture it and finds out that in order to fill the Pokédex he must capture all 149 Pokémon. Oak asks them to fill the Pokédex with the 149 known Pokémon and they excitingly accept the task. Red chooses a Charmander because it is a Fire-type like he is named after.
