VS Oddish (Japanese: VSナゾノクサ VS Nazonokusa) is the 442nd round of the Pokémon Adventures manga and the first of the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc.
Synopsis
The round opens with Gold and his Pokémon standing before and battling Arceus. As Gold urges his Pokémon to last until Silver arrives, the scene switches to before this happens. Gold and Whitney ride alongside on Exbo and Miltank respectively. As Gold annoys Whitney, they finally arrive at their destination (much to Gold's delight); The Pokéathalon Dome. Gold attempts to cut in line, but he is stopped by Whitney and Smeargle. As he is dragged away, he wonders if someone he is supposed to meet has shown up. Gold is then forced by Whitney to change into a jersey, and he begins to compete. He starts with Ataro, Explotaro and Poltaro competing in the 'Snow Throw', which is, as described by Gold, "..just a big snow-ball fight!". He comes in first place, and wins the Skill Medal. As he announces that he will continue with the Jump Course, we get a brief glimpse of an angry-looking silhouette. The scene then cuts to Gold running around in the Disk Catch. Gold accidentally runs into DJ Mary. He comes back to help her, and she recognises him as "Gold, the trouble-maker from New Bark Town who stirs up strife wherever he goes!!". He reveals that he was running to make Apricot Juice for his Pokémon, and he left them to compete on their own. Gold wins again. The next event is the Lamp Jump, in which the Pokémon have to jump up to touch lamps placed on a vertical wall. Mary remarks that Gold and Togetaro are just like twins, much to Gold's horror.
