1. The developers probably didn't think about/care enough, so Blue just progressed without any known HMs. (We could theorize that he had some HM slaves.)
2. Grinding in the wild areas surrounding Saffron possibly?
I wouldn't attempt to try and make this stuff make sense. The most important thing is that they're good games. It's the whole comic book thing. Trying to fit every little thing that ever happened into the continuity will drive someone insane and ruin it instead of making a good story.
What makes you think that Blue doesn't have the HM's? If I recall correctly he atleast has CUT because he got it from the captain on the S.S. Anne. He even tells you after or before the battle.

Blue didn't seem to care about the captain. Do you think the captain
would've given the HM to someone who was so insensitive?
Also, it was stated Red was the only one to have won the SURF HM.
