Line 5:
Since The S.S. Anne didn’t have one, Gary had to make his way back to Vermillion City. Due to the fact that the S.S. Anne was departing in a matter of minutes the inflow of passengers was a mob scene and Gary had a hard time going off the cruise ship. By the time he got off, his Pokémon were in bad shape. He quickly rushed to the Pokémon Center almost tripping over his own feet. He had hoped he got there in time but unfortunately Nurse Joy broke the bad news.
"I’m sorry but your Raticate didn’t make it.
With the horrific words uttered, Gary’s heart slowly split in two. Even though he showed a gruff and tough personality, with thought of his Raticate dead Gary fell to his knees and wept in the middle of the Pokémon Center. In the days following Gary retreated to his house not leaving. Before continuing on to the road to the Elite Four, Gary traveled to Lavender Town to bury his Raticate.
Line 17:
He quickly changed his mind when a low howling came from behind him. As he turned, a thick mist surrounded him causing Gary to not be able to see a thing…expect for his Raticate’s grave. Gary finally realized that the howling was coming from the grave, which sent a chill up his back. The howling began to turn into a whisper that Gary was able to hear.
"
"H-how do you know my name?
"Have you forgotten me already? It is I, your faithful
Even though Gary was scared out of his mind, he had some comfort in that his Raticate had come back to speak to him.
"Raticate? Is that really you?
"Yes…I am speaking to you from the
"I’m happy to talk to you again.
"I too am happy, but I come to ask a request from you.
"What is it? I’ll do anything you want, as long as it brings peace to you.
"Good…I’m glad to hear that. There’s one simple thing I want you to do… Kill that Pokémon Trainer…Kill Red!
Gary didn’t know what to think. Should he really go out and kill another person?
"I don’t know if I should…it wouldn’t be right.
"Wouldn’t be right? Do you remember what he did to me? All those times he’s defeated and humiliated you.
Gary thought about the spirit’s words and deep down, he knew that it was right. Red did cause his Pokémon to die; Red does keep defeating him, embarrassing their hometown, his grandfather, and most of all himself. Gary realized in order to stop the humiliation and shame; he must put an end to Red. Gary then told his Raticate that he would do as it requested and take the life that took his Raticate’s.
Line 55:
Red walked towards Gary in a very calm and casual way. The fire in Gary’s stomach erupted the second the two locked eyes. The smile that was on Gary’s face just second’s ago, disappeared in a blink. A scowled now dawned his face, standing in front of the person he hated most. The thought of letting Red live was now just a memory and Gary knew that his rival’s death was eminent.
"Oh Gary, it’s you.
"Don’t patronize me. I’m going to destroy you and get revenge on what you did to
"Gary, what are you talking about?
"Enough of this banter. This is going to be the last Pokémon battle between us. This will decide who is the strongest trainer. Now let’s do this.
Red still had no idea what was going on or how Gary had felt towards him. But as a strong trainer, Red wasn’t going to allow himself to lose. An intense and voracious battle commenced taking heavy tolls on the Pokémon and their trainers. Though each side fought with their all, Red still came out on top, become the now new Pokémon Champion. Gary cursed at himself in his head, angry that he had lost so quickly after become Champion.
Line 67:
Just as he was able to pick himself off the floor, the doors opened again and Gary’s grandfather, Professor Oak walked in. He approached Red and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Red, congratulations you’ve just become Pokémon Champion, well done.
Gary’s heart sank in his chest. His own grandfather was giving praise to his rival and not only that but he never even came in before to congratulate Gary, his own flesh and blood. To make matters even worse, Professor Oak turned to Gary and scolded him.
"I’m deeply disappointed in you Gary. You became Champion and you lost it all in a matter of moments. You did not raise your Pokémon in the right way. You raised them with malice and brute strength, not trust and love like Red did. That is why he beat you. Now Red my boy, follow me and we will enter you into the Hall of Fame.
Gary was left alone to wallow in his own self pity. He left the Pokémon League without uttering a word to anyone. As he traveled back home, he had time to think. He tried to comprehend his grandfather’s words but every time he did, his hatred for Red presented itself. By the time he reached Pallet Town he had completely made up his mind. He was going to find Red and end his life.
Line 79:
As he reached the top of the mountain, he saw his arch enemy. Red was standing on the highest peak looking over it.
"Well look at who we have here. If it isn’t my best buddy Red.
Red turned around to see Gary and he smiled unexpected of his own doom.
"Hey Gary how are ya?
"Oh not too bad. I have a personal mission to do up here.
"Oh, I see. Doing some power training like me huh?
"Well, not quite. You see I’m here…to kill you.
"Gary…that’s not funny, stop kidding around.
"Do you really think I would come up here and kid around with you?
"Well, no.
Whether Red shaking was due to the cold air or if he was scared, it still caused a smirk to spread across Gary’s face.
"Do you have any thought why I want to kill you Red?
"No, why?
"Really? You sure you don’t know? Let me refresh your mind. You killed my Raticate!
"What? I did no such thing, how could you say that?
"It was because of you beating my Pokémon on the S.S. Anne, and I couldn’t get off that freaking boat in time and my Raticate died.
"Listen Gary, that isn’t my fault. It was a fluke, an accident. It’s not my fault, your fault, or anyone’s for that manner.
"No you listen. My Raticate was such a great Pokémon. I won so many battles with him, I owe a lot to him. And besides that’s not the only reason. There’s the constant humiliation you gave me.
"What are you talking about, when did I humiliate you?
"All the times you beat me in Pokémon battles. I am the grandson of the great Pokémon Professor, Professor Oak. How could I let a mediocre trainer beat me every single time we battled? I’m Gary Oak and I should be at the top of the world not you!
"Look Gary, I understand how you must feel, but you can’t let this get to you.
"There is no way in Hell you know how I feel. Do you know what it’s like to win it all and only minutes later be stripped of everything? Do you know what it’s like to have your biggest rival praised by your own grandfather and all you get is a "I’m disappointed in
"Well no, not exactly.
"That’s exactly my point Red. You’ve won it all and kept it. But now here we are just the two of us. This is where it ends…well for you anyway. Alakazam, come forth!
"Alakazam!
"Gary don’t do this. We can talk this over and resolve it.
"No, we’re done talking, it’s time for you to die. Alakazam, Psybeam!
Alakazam charged and fired a Psybeam directly at Red. Red had no time to act and took the attack full force, smashing into him and causing him to fall off the peak and down to his death. Gary walked over to the peak and peered over. Not seeing his rival anymore a sense of relief came over him in his warped sense of way. With his mission completed, Gary went back home to relax before putting his next mission into play.
