In the world of Pokémon, there's a young boy named Red who lives in Pallet Town. He embarks on his own adventure with his rival Green, leaving his small town behind. Along their journey, they meet many people and creatures from all walks of life. However, their adventure takes a dark turn as Team Rocket tries to capture Mew, a rare Pokémon, for their own nefarious purposes. They subject other Pokémon to cruel experiments in their quest for power. It falls upon Red and his friends to stop Team Rocket from causing any more harm and uncovering the mysteries of Pokémon.
