Plot

This plot summary is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this plot summary to add missing sections and complete it.

On Cerise Island, Blue is walking with Koga. They find themselves lost in the maze created by the Agatha's Arbok. Koga finds the broken tail of his own Arbok that got cut by Agatha's Pokémon earlier. They immediately figure out that they have been going in circles and try to figure out a way to get out.

Koga starts to faint, and says it is not normal for him to lose so much strength simply from a Leech Life from Golbat. He thinks that something else is draining away his energy, and Blue tells him to take it easy. Blue hears a sound from behind and looks down and notices his own shadow lengthening; he releases his Golduck to get ready. Koga calls his Koffing, but Gengar shoots from Golduck's shadow without warning and knocks down both Golduck and Koffing.

In the Pewter Museum of Science in Pewter City, Brock orders Geodude to protect the tank of Kabuto, while heading out with other Geodude to attack the Machoke.
