VS. Vespiquen & Mothim I (Japanese: VS ビークインと ガーメイルI VS. Beequen & Gamale I) is the 381th round of the Diamond & Pearl arc in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Synopsis
The episode begins with Riley examining the Steelix. He says that Steelix had used Rock Polish to raise its speed but was still defeated, so he changed his plan. After a while Riley and Lucario got attacked and their eyes were sealed by honey. They got attacked by two Cue Balls and they reveal that Lucario's sense was blocked by Mothim's Air Slash. Diamond decides to battle instead of Riley. He commands Torterra to use Razor Leaf but Vespiquen defends it with Defense Order. Diamond then starts to explain that the speed of the leaves depends on how many leaves are shooted out. He then commands Torterra to use Razor Leaf with only one leaf. As a result, Vespiquen was knocked out, making the bees panic and Mothim become confused. The episode ends with Lucario quickly finishing the Cue Balls with Bone Rush, Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere, and Close Combat. The egg has also been secured.
