Your Rival

When the stars stop shining, dreams will shatter before your eyes. Know that you're not alone!
In the original Pokémon Red and 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 why 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 the 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 not to 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 his love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn't have any parents. He's an orphan.

That's why he's always the champion. ALWAYS. He's totally just trying to make us pity him. I bet his Raticate is really in his PC :U
