LYRICS:
Greetings Pokefans, Michael here, and today we have a different kind of Pokémon battle for you. Today we have a RAP battle, between the hero of the anime, Ash KEtchuuuuum, and the hero of the Kanto games, REEEEEED. Ready, battle begin!

ASH – Verse 1
Yo my name is Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town,
And this stupid silent freakshow is going straight down.
If you think you’re going to win you’ve made a serious blunder,
Shock you with my trusty Pikachu…Thunder.
So here’s the famous Red, the star of the first games,
But are you really Red if 8-year-olds can change your name?
I run the show, everyone knows ‘bout Pikachu and Ash,
You get replaced, each genera-tion throws you out like trash.
While you stay stuck in Kanto, I have travelled ‘round the world!
Catching ‘mon, winning badges, followed by hot girls.
I’ve rhymed you down into the ground, so let’s see what you’ve got.
But wait, I think I know already: Dot. Dot. Dot.

RED – Verse 1
I normally don’t talk, but it’s a special occasion,
Time to use my rhymes to cause Ash Ketchum’s obliteration.
You’re a child. All you do is lose, cry, and whine.
I’m Red! I’m the greatest trainer of all time!
I’ll crush you, I’ll break you, sweep your team and you’ll be done.
You could never ever hope to beat the Champion!
Took Team Rocket down, by myself, when I was only ten.
You can’t stop three dumb losers who keep blasting off again.
You released your Pokémon and then cried like a little girl.
I caught every single Pokémon in the entire world!
If we had a real battle and we truly got acquainted,
I guarantee the screen would read “Ash Ketchum fainted.”

ASH – Verse 2
You think you’re such a master but you’re not all that great.
I have over fifty badges while you have a measly eight.
Sure you completed the dex, but just the Kanto one, man.
Tell me, have you even heard of a Darmanitan?
When there’s a new generation travel to a brand new nation,
While you’re on a cold vacation facing your refrigeration!
I’m Ash! They wanted me for Frontier Brain,
But I said no so I could go around the whole world to train!
Battling a legendary your Charizard almost died,
Mine beat an Articuno, Sceptile beat a Darkrai!
Who will everyone remember when they’ve gotten gray and old?
The hero of their childhood or the one who lost to Gold?

RED – Verse 2
How many times will you start all over again?
I may only have eight badges, but at least I’m not still ten!
You beat your rival once in every match you’ve fought to date.
I never lost to mine and even killed his Raticate.
You may be better known, but I couldn’t care less,
At least I’m not the one prancing around in a dress.
You met Mewtwo, he turned you into a rock.
When I met Mewtwo, threw my master ball. Caught.
You’re pathetic, one look from me will freak out a Gastly,
You’re wasting my time. See ya never, Ashley. -

"I never lost to my rival, and even killed his Raticate"
That was cold-blooded, man

[truegreen]

You did a real good job making it an even match! That's a hard task considering most people root for Red. AWESOME JOB!

[fwsh_sprite]

It's been almost seven years and this still slaps 💀🙏

[Purplecliffe]

i would beat both red and ash in a rap battle

[MononobeNoFuton]

It would’ve been hilarious if red didn’t talk at all.

[Lizardsareprettycool]

7 years and it's still a masterpiece

[marieparisi]

Wow I remember when this came out I can still remember half the lyrics oh the memories

[TDSDyno]

Ash should've flexed that his snorlax has 6 moves

[kois]

Ash : My charizard beat an articuno
Red : OK then my charizard beat an articuno, moltres, zapdos and mewtwo and captured all of them
Edit: to those of u are saying ash Is better than red just because he met more legendary Pokemons Always remember ash 's pikachu lost to a level 5 snivy but reds pikachu obliterated all of us

[DuskyLycanROCKS]

Red never caught mewtwo with a master ball, he caught it with an ultra ball

[alexandradordzhieva]

"and even killed his Raticate"
Red woah, woah!
slow down there buddy!

[benedict]

I love how Red was named red in gen 1 when they cant even see the colours

[btavz]

Ash: You're stuck in Kanto.

Red: ...
*Mt. Silver* (Johto)
*Pokemon World Tournament* (Unova)
*Battle Tree* (Alola)

[spencerwalkstothepark]

"One look from me, would freak out a ghastly, you're pathetic, see you never. Ashley"
Best line of all time.

[FlawdaBwoy]

“Followed by hot girls”
Brock: *opens eyes* Me, right?
Edit: Dang, that’s a lotta likes and comments

[shadysoviet]

6 years later and the lyrics are still engraved on my brain perfectly

[thaters_fan]

1:52-1:56. Those 4 seconds gave me chills for no reason.

[Aquaous]

2:22 “When you met mewtwo, he turned you into a rock, When I met mewtwo, threw my Master ball, CAUGHT!”


In Pokémon origins red caught mewtwo w/ a ultra ball

[who_dis]

Who else watched this once and now can't stop listening to this even in 2019

[sticics]

Me coming back to this song after years:
Also me: ah the nostalgia
