In Kanto, legends don't begin in laboratories-they begin with promises.
Long before badges and battles, Ash Ketchum formed a bond that shouldn't have existed. A bond chosen, not assigned. When the world finally gives him a name-Red-it's not because of victory, but because of the way Pokémon respond when he calls.
As Red sets out on his journey, he's joined by Serena, returning from Kalos to rediscover herself where journeys are raw and unforgiving. Grounded, empathetic, and quietly fearless, Serena believes strength begins with understanding-and her presence may be the one thing keeping Red from burning himself out.
Walking beside them is Gary Oak-brilliant, prepared, and relentless. Rival and ally in equal measure, Gary sees the system for what it is...and Red for what he could become. He's the first to call him Red. The first to believe the world will one day follow.
Through familiar Gyms, legendary whispers, and a League built on tradition and control, Red is forced to confront a question older than the Pokémon world itself:
Is mastery about command-or trust?
Pokémon: Legacy of the First Flame is a mythic reimagining of the original journey-one where bonds matter more than badges, rivals shape destiny, and a boy with a chosen partner may change what it means to be a Pokémon Master forever.
