Personality: "Pokemon Trainer. Someone who spends his life with, trusts, and is trusted by his Pokemon." A phrase that was nearly long forgotten, Blaine suddenly remembered it when he saw Red, with his Pokemon. It's not a trait most trainers are shown with, but it was quickly revealed in Red's actions. He trusts his Pokemon, and in return, they trust him. It doesn't stop with just Pokemon either. Red is a very trusting individual in general, and it's shown fairly often. Even if he's left with a former enemy, and forced to work together with them, he'll trust them still. He even trusts a suspicious character when they first meet, believing that she isn't up to anything evil.
Red was given the title "Fighter" from Professor Oak. This is due to the fact of his instinctual fighting style, which is described in the series as Red being "Born with a sense for battle." He's very quick on his feet, and quick to think, while he's battling. Towards the end of the Red/Blue/Green arc, Professor Oak mentions that Red and Green compliment each other. They exchanged some battle traits, since when Red starts out, he's very brash while battling. It's shown later that he becomes very level headed and calm while he battles, or even in most situations, when before he would act without thinking. Green's influence over him eventually secured the fact that Red actually backed his instinctual battling style with his intellect, and hence made his battling style increase tenfold.
While battling, he has a few other quirks, as well. He's very determined and focused when he's fighting, and even if there's not a chance of winning, he chooses to continue to fight. Even with no chances, he's always relatively calm and level-headed about it, and hence, can make a comeback. Another thing about his battling style is that he always plays fair, even if someone doesn't. Giovanni knocks out one of his Pokemon, and then gives himself a handicap, but Red decided to take that handicap too, stating how he wanted to make it a fair fight. Against any adversary, he likes the battle to be even. He even states how there's no fun in fighting an enemy that's weakened. Despite all this, he takes after Green, and knows his limits with battling. So even if there's no chance of winning, if he thinks there's a chance, he'll take it. This is shown in his final battle with Giovanni, where he doesn't stop trying. Deoxys even remarks, "You just keep going. You never gave up. Not even when you're driven into a corner or injured all over!" He just never gives up or gives in, no matter the circumstances.
As a kid, he was a lot more forward about his abilities. He brags, boasts, and shows off to anyone that will listen. As he starts to get older, however, he starts to get more modest, and even awkward about his abilities. It's not that he thinks lowly of his abilities, though, but that there's no real point in showing off. The only way to determine how strong someone truly is is to battle them and find out yourself, after all, so he decides to follow that state of being. Something that never changes though, is his feelings about his friends. No matter what, he's always looking out for their well-being. As a result, he doesn't stand for his friends being wronged, shown when he jumps off the handle about Blue not being able to meet her parents, going after the person who caused it to happen. Though, as soon as something about relationships or girls pops up, he gets fairly embarrassed. That's also something that changed from his childhood, where he was always trying to impress and show off around girls.
A basic synopsis of Red would be that he's happy-go-lucky, optimistic, and sociable. He makes friends fairly easily, and keeps them around easily. He's also a very reliable and dependable person, almost always getting what he says he's going to do done. Another trait about him is that he's very heroic, even going on a seemingly self-sacrificial mission at the end of Fire Red/Leaf Green to help a town from a crashing airship, that he had to steer away. He sent Yellow and Mewtwo off the ship, though, not wanting them to get hurt.
Strengths: Red has a typical level of physical, mental, and emotional strength for a human. There's not much different about him being a human, other than his ability to take a bunch of hits and still keep going. He's had his back smashed by a rock and he was still able to keep going, but that's just a protagonist power.
Combat wise, he's the best battler of the Pokedex Holders, Green being second closest to him. He's constantly shown as the best of them, battling wise, and was the Champion of the Kanto Pokemon League, for a bit. He even passes his Gym Aptitude Test with more than enough time.
Though, just because he's the battler, that doesn't mean he's great at fighting on his own. He can throw a punch and the like, but he mainly fights with his Pokemon! The three Pokemon he's going to be bringing with him are Poli the Poliwrath, Saur the Venusaur, and Pika the Pikachu. They are the Pokemon that have been with him the longest, and they went through the most together.
All of his Pokemon have very handy moves, as well. The Pokemon in Special are a bit different than the games, though, and seem to know all of their moves, instead of just four. Poli has Water Gun, Ice Beam, Seismic Toss, DoubleSlap, Double Team, Focus Punch, and Mind Reader. The main move he seems to use, even outside of battle, is Ice Beam. He uses it to cross a river on his bike, lay traps, and various other things. Despite Poli being a water Pokemon, he can't surf on it, though, and will most likely just use him as a flotation device if necessary.
Saur was the Pokemon that Professor Oak gave him, and was his first Pokemon other than Poli. Saur has plenty of moves, as well. Vine Whip, Solar Beam, Poison and Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Razor Leaf, Cut, and Sweet Scent. The main move that is used is Frenzy Plant, though. Frenzy Plant is Saur's ultimate attack, and is extremely powerful.
Pika is Red's iconic Pokemon. He's shown with it often, just like Red from gameverse, and Ash from the anime. As a result, Pikachu is one of his strongest Pokemon. Its moveset is Thundershock, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Toxic, Substitute, Surf, Bide, Rage, Iron Tail, and finally Volt Tackle. Volt Tackle is Pika's ultimate attack, and the strongest of his moves, just like Saur's Frenzy Plant. Pika is probably used in battle the most, despite it not being the highest level, and is used in almost all the final battles.
Weaknesses: Red is just a normal human being. As a result, he has the normal weaknesses a human have, physically mentally and emotionally. Anything that is normally fatal to a human is fatal to Red. He can't magically stop bullets and the like. He gets hurt just like every other human does, with less of a fatality rate because of being a protagonist. There's not much different there at all.
The only notable sign of weakness that he showed was in the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc. When Lorelei froze his wrists and ankles, it left major harm on his joints. He struggled to move his wrists and ankles, to the point that it was painful. Something as simple as water could aggravate the injury, and cause his legs to go out from under him. This is shown in his Gym Aptitude Test, when the enemy floods the battle zone and causes Red to fall on one knee. As a result of this handicap, he felt as if he wasn't suited to become a Gym Leader, and rejected his acceptance. This weakness was already fixed by the end of the arc, however, when he went to Mt. Silver and rested in the hot springs there.
Another thing that could technically be listed as a weakness would be how protective he is of his friends. A lot of the time, if his friends are in danger, or were hurt in some way, he jumps straight into the fray. This can be either a good or bad thing. When Green was fighting Koga, Red ran straight into the room and right into a trap. So this seems bad, if he's brash and doesn't think when his friends are in danger, but it also caused enough of a distraction for Green to get a hit in on Koga. The other time this happens is when Blue didn't get to meet her parents, and when Red finds out who caused this to happen, he rushes into the fight without a second thought. This causes him to get nearly hit by an explosion. In that moment, it feels like it would be a weakness. He doesn't tend to think when it comes to his friends in danger.

First Person:
[Waking up in a weird place? Check.
Waking up with only pants on? Check.]
What the heck is going on? [Red sat up scratching at the back of his head, taking a glance around. Well, at least his clothes are right there. And... huh? A book... He picks it up, flipping through it.] I mean, all of this is really weird, but... Jeez.
[Well. Time to change back into his clothes! Swapping out those pants, putting on his socks and shoes, before--] --Hey! Where the heck are my pokeballs?!
[That is definitely not cool. He's glances around, panicked, before--] Okay, I just gotta think... How'd I manage to get here? [He couldn't remember anything odd, anyway. Or anyone that would take his clothes off like that.] Man... none of this is making any sense.
[Okay, next plan! Time to get dressed fully. Putting on that undershi-- whoa what.]
Wh... What's on my back... ? [Reaching back, and-- Oh god. Feathers... ?] H-Huh?! What happened?! Why do I have-- [Flutter flutter...] wings...
[Okay. No shirt for now. First thing's first, we are looking for our pokemon and some god damn answers. Hat on means adventure mode begins!] Okay! Time to figure out what's going on in this place!
[Or, well...] ... As soon as I figure out which way to go, anyway...
[... Hmm...]
Whatever, let's just go this way! [Off in a random direction! With his shirt and vest in hand.]
Third Person: Wandering around this place wasn't too bad, once Red got used to it. It was somewhat peaceful, and reminded him a bit of Viridian City. A small town, surrounded by a forest. It wasn't quite the same, but it still gave him a calming feeling of nostalgia every time he passed through. It was the closest thing to anything like home, and it was always relaxing. He would often take walks through here, either looking for a challenge, or just to walk.
The battle dome was good for challenges, after all, and the other Pokedex holders that were here were also good for practicing. Even if he was searching for challengers, he always knew where to find one. It was just a force of habit. There were so many challengers back home, even after he stopped being the Champion, so it was just a normal part of life for him. That habit was hard to break, and he always expected for someone to just appear and challenge him. Eyes lock, and the battle would usually begin. It wasn't the same here.
In fact, it really was just relaxing here. To take a line from someone else, "Nothing amazing happens here." Or, well, that wasn't always correct. There were experiments, and various other things that were common occurrences, but there was plenty of off time. Even when he discovered he had these wings, it wasn't too big of a deal. Well, it was, but it was quickly gotten over. He was more focused on finding his Pokemon, when he first arrived. His friends, his partners, his family. They were the most important thing, that he had to find. Once he did, that was about it! Finding the other Dex holders was also an excellent surprise. Hence, life here wasn't so bad. He had everything he needed, after all, and there wasn't that many conflicts here.
