Gyarados Splashes In! (Japanese: VSギャラドス VS. Gyarados) is the sixth round in the Red, Green & Blue chapter of the Pokémon Special manga.

Synopsis

An injured girl is being attacked by an enraged Gyarados, with her Staryu defending her. Staryu nearly faints as Red appears. Red decides to help with his Bulbasaur. Thanks to the type advantage, Gyarados's Hydro Pump didn't hurt the grass Pokémon. Since Bulbasaur used Leech Seed, Staryu had time to recover. With Bulbasaur's Vine Whip and Staryu's BubbleBeam, Red catches the beast. Red wonders why a water Pokémon would be in that area, so the girl tells him that the Gyarados belongs to her. She explains to Red that while she was training the Gyarados last week, someone stole it. When she found it again, it was enraged. They wonder who could have been able to do something like that, and Red decides that they should call Professor Oak from the Pokémon Center to listen his opinion. When they call him, Professor Oak believes that the atrocity was the work of Team Rocket, an evil organization that uses Pokémon as experiments. He also says that the Moon Stone, a rare stone that boost Pokémon's powers immensely, has been found in Mt. Moon and that must be what Team Rocket is after. Red and the girl decide to work together in order to get revenge on Team Rocket. She explains that Mt. Moon is on the way back to her hometown, Cerulean City, and she introduces herself as Misty as they run off towards Mt. Moon.
