List of Pokémon Adventures volumes (1–20)

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


Pokémon Adventures, known in Japan as Pocket Monsters Special (ポケットモンスター SPECIAL, Poketto Monsutā SPECIAL), is a Japanese manga series published by Shogakukan. The story arcs of the series are based on most of the Pokémon video games released by Nintendo and, as such, the main characters of the series have the name of their video game. Since the manga is based on the video games, there are some delays with the serialization since the authors need to have seen the games in order to continue with the plot.[1]

The series is written by Hidenori Kusaka, it is illustrated by Mato during the first nine volumes, while Satoshi Yamamoto starts illustrating it since the tenth volume. The Japanese publisher Shogakukan has been releasing the individual chapters in tankōbon format with the first one being released on August 8, 1997 and currently, 52 tankōbon have been released.[2][3]

The distributing company Viz Media has licensed the series for English in the United States. Viz released the first seven volumes of the series in tankōbon format from July 6, 2000[4] to January 2003[5] as well as in magazine format.[6] During 2006 they released two volumes with the name of The Best of Pokémon Adventures which are various chapters from the first two arcs put into one book.[7][8] On June 1, 2009, Viz restarted publishing the tankōbon volumes, and are now up to volume 9 as of October 2010. Volume 10 is scheduled for December 2010, and volumes 11, 12 and volume 30 of the DP arc (known as volume 1 of Platinum in Viz's release) are all scheduled for 2011 as well. However, these releases feature both visual and dialogue edits not found in the original English release and original Japanese tankobon release.[9]

Red fights an Arbok there and rescues Blue and also defeats the aforementioned hypnotic Pokémon trainer Koga, who is considered to be Team Rocket's most elite member.

Pika is later recruited by Yellow, who uses her psychic powers to heal Pika, and starts to actively search for the missing Red. Prof. Oak gives Yellow a Pokédex to help her with searching for Red after testing her skills and understanding her emotional attachment with the Pokémon. While fishing a Seadra, Yellow meets a researcher named Bill when all of a sudden they are both chased and attacked by Elite Four member Lorelei and her Pokémon (Dewgong and Cloyster), who wants to steal Pika in order to eradicate any trace of Red. Yellow manages to run away from Lorelei with the help of Duduo, Rattata and Pikachu, escaping her ice wall. Prof. Oak sends a letter to Blue to join forces with the Gym Leaders to search for Red and to help Yellow in her training. Pika is later stolen by a trainer named Miles, who is working under the Elite Four's orders. Yellow and Erika battle Miles and his Pokémon (Persian, Marowak and Paras) in Celadon City and defeat him strategically. As they are about to get information about Red's whereabouts from Miles, another member of the Elite Four, Agatha, is referred to be the person possessing Miles's actions with one of her Ghost-type Pokémon. Erika suggests they contact Blaine for help finding Red. Blue, Brock and Misty reappear, and help Yellow and the Gym Leaders defeat Miles and retrieve Pika, as Blue takes Yellow away to train shortly thereafter. On the way, Blue reveals to Yellow the events that occurred right before last year's tournaments, such as how he declared to help a young boy get back his Haunter, which led to his encounter with Agatha at an abandoned power plant, all while realizing how powerful the Elite Four truly are. Elsewhere, Bruno is training hard with his Hitmonlee. Lance, the final member and leader of the Elite Four, urgently leaves for Vermilion City.
