Meanvile...Vileplume! (Japanese: VSラフレシア VS. Ruffresia) is the twentieth round in the Red, Green & Blue arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Synopsis

Red bursts into the Gym with Bill on his heels. He shouts for Erika to come out but no one comes out. They try to heal Eevee. As Bill was looking around, he spots a book titled 'Eevee Reconstruction.' Red turns around and questions who are these people. Bill begins reading the book. He suddenly stopped reading, and Erika appears, continuing what Bill was reading. Erika congratulates Red on catching an Eevee, and accepts his challenge. Red fumes and tells Erika that she had got Red to catch her reconstructed Eevee that escaped and says that he doesn't need Erika's stinking badge. Erika ignores him and says that she is ready and sends out her three Pokémon: Tangela, Bellsprout, and Vileplume while Red sends out Poliwrath, Ivysaur, and Pikachu. Erika sends Tangela and Red sends Ivysaur. He commands Ivysaur to use Vine Whip and reel the Tangela in. But Tangela throws Ivysaur away before Ivysaur could reel Tangela in. Red then sends Poliwrath while Erika sends Bellsprout. Red laughs saying that a little thing like Bellsprout couldn't handle Poliwrath. He commands Poliwrath to use DoubleSlap but Bellsprout uses Mimic and fights back. Red then sends Pikachu as Erika sends Vileplume. Pikachu dodges Vileplume's Petal Dance attack but Vileplume weakens Pikachu with Swords Dance. Red looks at the Pokédex and realizes Pikachu's health is very low. Erika smiles and says that Red can challenge her and she won't give any conditions as he has already captured the Eevee. This reminds Red about the Pokémon and Erika says that Eevee is near it's end and the least thing she could do is put out it's misery. Red won't let her and says that if he lets her get away with it, she will do this to other Pokémon. Red quickly orders Pikachu to use Substitute. Vileplume defeats Pikachu's energy clone but Red grins and says while Erika and Vileplume were distracted, Pikachu had already got to the reconstruction device and they will never open the Poké Ball. Erika laughs softly and says that rather than fight, Pikachu used the last of its health to defend another Pokémon. Red and Bill gapes in surprise. Erika then uses Full Restore on Eevee and reveals that she has heard about Red from Brock and Misty and was only testing him. She also reveals that Team Rocket was the one behind the Eevee experiment. Red agrees to help Erika against Team Rocket and receives the Rainbow Badge. Erika lets Red take Eevee along with him and Red skips down the road for his next adventure. Little does he know he is being watched by a woman sitting on her Kadabra.
