Is this from something or is it just a fan remix? Also, obligatory:
>In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town, he asks
whether or not you know what it's like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the
game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles. Your rival battle before
this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival's Raticate sustained serious injuries from the
battle…but, because of crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a
Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender
Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest.
>Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you're responsible for the death
of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed
to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively
destroys your rival's impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn't hold
you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further
fuels his ambitions.
>Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate's grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains
hard in hopes of becoming better than you…defeating you…and to eventually make it to the Pokémon
League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated…by you. Although he
fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant.
>In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor's praise.
During the course of the game, you steal your rival's innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately
snatch away the love of his own grandfather.
