Purrrr-sian (Japanese:VS ペルシアンVS Persian) is the 47th chapter of thePokémon Adventures manga, and the seventh chapter of theYellow arc.
Plot
In an unknown barren location,Blue is waiting just as hisPidgeot returns with a message in its talons. Thanking his Pokémon, Blue opens the letter from his grandfather,Professor Oak, and silently pores over its contents.
Back inCeladon City,Super NerdMiles is faced withYellow's demands forPika, but simply sneers a challenge for Yellow to take Pika back himself, and orders a combined attack from hisMarowak,Persian, andParas. With Yellow kept at bay Miles escapes into the city, and as Erika struggles to get up Yellow decides to attack at full force as well. Much to Erika's dismay Yellow's full force merely consists ofRatty andDody, to which Yellow explains that he released all the other Pokémon he had captured, seeking only true friends as opposed to filling upPokédex entries. As Yellow leaves on Dody, Erika orders one of her elite groups to follow, when she discovers the sketchbook Yellow has dropped. Flipping through the pages she finds detailed, annotated sketches of Yellow's three traveling companions.
In the middle of Celadon City, Miles gloats to himself as Yellow struggles to find him in the dark. Musing to himself of the pay he would receive from theold woman who ordered Pika's capture, and the prospects of experimenting on aPokémon League champion's Pokémon, Miles swears revenge on theCeladon University he was kicked out of and plans his attack. As Yellow carefully searches, Marowak sends itsBonemerang to attack Yellow's team, while Yellow's attempts to listen for the Bonemerang are foiled as Persian usesScreech to create interfering noise. With Paras'sSpore on Marowak's bone Yellow's team is slowly weakened, and a scream from Yellow elicits concern from Pika.
As Erika gets to her feet, she deduces that Miles must have found Red in order to use the latter's scent in engineering his bodysuit, and at this revelation her citizens suggest that Professor Oak be consulted. However, Erika proposes an alternative inBlaine: the fourth of the 'good'Gym Leaders who had once sworn allegiance withTeam Rocket, and so the scientist is contacted at his Gym onCinnabar Island.
