Safari Zone

The **Safari Zone** (サファリゾーン; Safari Zone) is an attraction located in Fuchsia City where people can view rare Pokémon.

## Overview

    First seen in VS Nidoking, the Safari Zone is a jungle where rare and normally unseen Pokémon can be found. The tour consists of the guest riding through the area on a wooden boat. Two Pidgebots (Mecha Pidgey) act as a guide, and are programmed to protect guests of the Safari Zone at all costs. Trainers are forbidden to bring their own Pokémon or Poké Balls, and are thus expected to view only.

Red enters the Safari Zone, amazed by the variety and rarity of the Pokémon he sees. While on the tour, he runs into two Nidokings battling over a single Nidoqueen. Unbeknownst to the park employees, Red managed to sneak in a Poké Ball, and uses it to try to catch a Nidoking. He instead captures the Nidoqueen, causing both Nidokings to go in a rage, destroying the boat and leaving Red stranded. With one of the two Pidgebots guiding him, the two try to escape from a Nidoking that now sees Red as a rival. After nearly getting killed by it, Red is suddenly entrapped by a Victreebel, who throws him into its mouth. Luckily for Red, he's able to keep himself from being digested, but realizes he's to become nourishment for a Bellsprout and Weepinbell evolution ceremony. With the help of the Pidgebot and some items, though, he's able to escape just before the Nidokings find him again. As the Nidokings mistakenly weaken the Grass Pokémon, Red uses the opportunity to catch Victreebel, and then Nidoking. By the time Red is finally found, he's caught multiple Safari Zone Pokémon.

Thu-Fi-Zer

**Thu-Fi-Zer** is a Pokémon created through the fusion of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno.

## Overview

### Red, Green, & Blue Chapter

In their pursuit to create an all-powerful Pokémon, Team Rocket conducted various research, particularly on the Pokémon, Eevee. When their research proved fruitful, a machine was designed to allow for the creation of a new Pokémon through the power of the Gym Badges. To make this new Pokémon, Team Rocket captured the three Legendary Birds, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno.

With seven badges in her possession - having stolen them from Red - Blue activates the machine, causing a ball of light to fuse the three Legendary Birds together. The power of fire, electricity, and ice in its possession, the fused bird proves to be a massive powerhouse, completely blowing away Saur, as well as trapping Red, Blue, and Green in a powerful Gust attack. The fusion even remains relatively undamaged from Blue's newly evolved Clefable's attacks.

It is after the fused bird has blown the three trainers out of the Silph Company building that it meets its end: The combined attacks of Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, and Solar Beam (the latter from a newly evolved Saur) cause the fused bird to separate back into the three Legendary Birds. Now free again, the three birds fly off into the wild.

## Used Moves

* Fire Spin
* Blizzard
* Gust
* Sky Attack

## Trivia

* Despite having a name in the Japanese, no official English name was given. Fans often call the fusion "**Zapmolcuno**", however.

Unbeknownst to Ken, the disc turns out to be a fake. Though infuriated that he was once again tricked, he is again led astray by Blue, who uses her Ditty to transform into Mew to lead them on a wild goose chase.

Despite the type difference, Charmander quickly burns Poli in an unintentional attack. Sometime before VS Onix, Charmander evolves into a Charmeleon, and is seen battling against trainers in Pewter Gym. Charmeleon isn't seen again until the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters, this time under control of Koga's Gastly. Once freed from its control, Charmander defeats Koga's Arbok.

    Charmeleon next appears as one of Green's Pokémon that accidentally gets traded to Red. Charmeleon is not hesitant to show its dislike of Red, and tries to bite him. Green later notes that Charmeleon seems different (kinder) since trading with Red.

When the Pokémon is next seen in Saffron City, it is revealed to have evolved into a Charizard. Using its ability of flight, Green attempts to enter the shielded off city, but finds all attempts useless. Charizard then flies Green to Pallet Town. Once in Silph Company, Charizard heats the building from the outside to allow Green and Red to escape Articuno's Blizzard attack. Charizard then flies Green to the battlefield against Thu-Fi-Zer.

## Overview

     Lavender Town is a small town in the northeastern part of Kanto, and home to the Pokémon Tower, where deceased Pokémon are laid to rest. Red arrives in Lavender Town in the rain, and, wishing to seek shelter, he asks various townspeople for help, but is ignored each time.

Pokémon Tower

The **Pokémon Tower** is located in Lavender Town, and was specially built to house the souls of deceased Pokémon.

## Overview

    The **Pokémon Tower** was originally constructed to house the souls of deceased Pokémon. However, sometime before the events of the thirteenth chapter, Lavender Town townspeople began to see sightings of ghosts in the tower, leading the majority of them to become distrustful of their neighbors and of outsiders. It's after Red hears that Green disappeared while investigating the tower, that he too decides to investigate. Inside, he finds the tower enshrouded by a thick fog and infested with zombie Pokémon, which are being controlled by the fog. Figuring out that the fog is actually Gastly, Red defeats the Pokémon and frees Green from its control. It's soon revealed that Team Rocket, led by Koga had been using the tower as a secret base of operations. The two manage to defeat Koga, and, though damaged by the battle, the tower is freed from its corrupted state.

Vee

**Vee** (ブイ; Vui) is one of Red's main Pokémon.

## History

### Past

Vee was originally a test subject of Team Rocket's, who experimented on it in order to give it the ability to transform freely between its three Generation I evolutionary forms.

### RGB Chapter

Red encounters Vee while on a request from Erika to find an Eevee. Vee, unlike normal Eevees, is able to transform between Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, causing great confusion to Red during battle. After figuring out that Vee uses its ears to sense which typing an enemy Pokémon is, Red blocks its ears and defeats it. Eevee then begins to writhe in pain, causing a bewildered Red to rush angrily to Celadon Gym to question Erika's intentions. There, Bill and Red learn of Vee's past with Team Rocket. Red places Eevee on a healing device, but Erika attacks with the intention of killing the Pokémon. Despite Red's efforts, he is ultimately defeated by Erika, but a last minute rescue by Pika manages to keep Erika from committing the deed. Erika then apologizes, revealing that she had been testing Red the entire time. She gives Vee to Red, and the two head off.

While on the Seafoam Islands, Vee, having been experimented on by Team Rocket as well, decides to accept Gyara as its new friend. Seeing Vee do this leads Red's other Pokémon to do the same.

Vee isn't seen again until Red's battle with Sabrina at Silph Company. Here, Sabrina throws the injured Vee at Red, revealing that they had stolen him from Professor Oak's Laboratory in order to continue their research into creating Thu-Fi-Zer.

With Aero, Red returns back to the battlefield to aid Blaine in his battle against Team Rocket. Aero proves to be a powerful Pokémon, using its flight and Hyper Beam attack to seriously injure Moltres where Red's other Pokémon were unable to do anything.

Aero flies Red to Saffron City, where Red uses its Hyper Beam in attempt to destroy the barrier surrounding the city. The attack proves futile, however.

While searching outside Cerulean Cave for the Cerulean Monster, Aero is sucked into a tornado along with Red. Aero attempts to lift Red and his other Pokémon out of the tornado, but the combined weight proves to be too much for Aero to handle.

Later on, Red gets entangled in a battle between Al and Blaine, a battle which leads to Team Rocket releasing Moltres on the duo.

Lack-Two

**Lack-Two** (ラクツ; **English:** Blake) is a main protagonist of the Black 2 & White 2 chapters of the Pokémon Special manga. He is a high-ranking member of the International Police with the codename Black 2 (黒の2号).

## Overview

### Personality

Lack-Two appears to be quite a womanizer, often having girls swoon after him, and, in turn, often flirting with them. However, this side of him is merely part of his undercover mission: When on the job, he is serious and professional.

## History

### Black 2 & White 2 Chapter

Lack-Two officially debuts in a dramatic breakup scene with Yancy, where he breaks up with her in order to not interfere with her idol career. Afterwards, he and his classmate, Leo head to class, where he is berated by Hugh for being too flirty and not studious enough. The outburst causes Cheren to punish the three by having them sit outside of the classroom. Once Whi-Two arrives as the new student, Lack-Two is sure to make notes of every bit of information he can on her.

During the battle tournament, he and Whi-Two end up the champions of the boys and girls, and the two earn a Pokédex from Bianca. Later that night, it's revealed that he is searching for former members of Team Plasma among his female classmates as part of an undercover mission with the International Police. After saving Looker, Lack-Two reveals himself as his superior, codename Black 2. Fearing that the Pokémon he saved Looker from was trailing Looker, Lack-Two heads for the Aspertia City to meet with his secret "manager", Magician. While ordering specialty Poké Ball covers, a flying UFO begins attacking the city. Lack-Two and Looker investigate, and Lack-Two initiates battle.

## Pokémon

### On Hand

 **Keldemaru**    | **Keldeo** joins Lack-Two's team in order to gain the same strength as his seniors. Under Lack-Two, he has the nickname "Keldemaru".

## Appearances

VS Scolipede, VS Genesect I, VS Genesect II, VS Genesect III, VS Foongus, VS Vullaby, VS Frillish, B2W2 08

## Trivia

* Unlike other protagonists, who are named simply after the title game, Lack-Two is the warped Japanese reading of Black 2 (ブラックツー).
* Like Blue, his Japanese name and English name are not shared; his English name being Blake.
* Based on his naming of Keldeo as Keldemaru, it appears as if Lack-Two uses the suffix "maru" when naming his Pokémon. This may explain why his Dewott retains its Japanese name, Futachimaru.

When that fails, Blue instead has Blasty go on the offensive with a Bubble attack, but that also proves useless against the power Lax. After Blue fakes being unconscious and steals Red's badges, she and Blasty look on in triumphant from a watchtower. Blasty is later used in an attempt to keep a special disc away from Team Rocket, a task it ultimately fails, though Blue had been expecting that anyway. While later trying to capture Mew, Blasty uses its Hydro Pump in order to confuse Mew, while Red's Saur captures it with Vine Whip. The two Pokémon are nearly successful in their attempt, but are interrupted by Team Rocket.

Inside Silph Company, while battling Sabrina, Blue releases Blasty to reveal that it has since evolved into a Blastoise. Blasty is seemingly defeated by Sabrina's Kadabra, only to later be revealed as Ditty posing as Blasty. The real Blasty then appears behind Sabrina in a surprise attack that allows Blue sufficient time to launch her own attack.

Erika, the sole daughter of an extremely wealthy family in Celadon City, is first seen riding in a palanquin with a procession of people. After her Tangela causes Red to crash, she meets the young trainer, who challenges her to a gym battle. Instead of outright accepting, Erika asks for him to find an Eevee in order to prove his worth as a trainer. While Red is off searching, Erika and her gym are attacked by a Drowzee, an occurrence that has been happening frequently. Once Red returns to Celadon Gym in a rage, Erika reveals the experiments Eevee underwent, suggesting she took part in them herself. She then agrees to battle Red, and their 3 vs 3 battle ends quickly with Red's defeat. With no one to stop her, Erika announces that she will put Eevee out of its misery once and for all. She nearly succeeds, but Pika's use of Substitute distracts her long enough for the real Pika to get in the way of her and Eevee. Seeing the kindness and passion of Red and his Pokémon, Erika apologizes and reveals that everything had been a test. Now certain of Red's strength as a trainer, Erika explains her position as leader of the front against Team Rocket. Red agrees to cooperate with her, and she bestows him with the Rainbow Badge and Eevee.
