I don't get along with my neighbor, who's called Green.

Not much of a surprise, really.

It began with our names being complementary colors.

Green, who is lively and likes doing research,

and me, who likes games and grows tired of things fast.

Smart Green,

and me, not even making an effort when it comes to studying.

Talkative Green,

and silent me.

Green is the complete opposite of me.

That's why I don't get along with him.

That's why I didn't have anything to do with him for the past 11 years.

That's why...

Truth is, I don't know whether we wouldn't get along, but...

I just think he and I won't develop a deep relationship.

Red and green - being complete opposites on the color wheel,

Once I go out on my journey

we certainly won't meet again.

Because we won't be neighbors anymore.

This is the gym badge.

With this, you've made your first step towards becoming a champion.

Good luck, kid.

I'm not sad.

The thing is, to this day we've never even exchanged one word.

Just...

Just if...

...my name wasn't Red...

...and his wasn't Green...

If we lived in a world like that...

However, the truth is

not having one thing in common,

there would be no way you and I would mix well,

would there?

So we're both doing this.

Huh?

That badge.

You too aim to become a champion, eh.

We'll take on that challenge.

You and I

are rivals.

There is no way we would mix well.

No matter what happens, I won't lose.

So,

The parallel colors

let's battle!

made a connection.

they are

parallel worlds that would

never mix.
