'''Go for the Golbat''' (Japanese: '''VSゴルバット''' ''VS. Golbat'') is the twenty-ninth round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

In the office building of [[Silph Co.]], {{adv|Red}} barely catches up to {{adv|Blue}}, but before they can do anything else a trapdoor opens underneath Red. Blue attempts to catch Red, but is stopped by a shuriken from [[Koga]]. In retaliation Blue releases his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]] to strike Koga with {{m|Slash}}, but Koga's ninja armor, revealed to be a {{p|Grimer}}, quickly envelops the both of them, preventing further action from Blue...

At Level 1, Red finds himself trapped in a room surrounded by a ''very'' familiar electric field, and as he realizes the identity of his adversary [[Lt. Surge]] appears, heavily armed by his {{t|Electric}} Pokémon. Red demands to know why a [[Gym Leader]] would align themselves with [[Team Rocket]]; Lt. Surges sneers at Red that his membership in Team Rocket allowed him power that he never could have received as a Gym Leader, and to prove his stance he points out his {{p|Electrode}} launcher and {{p|Magneton}} shoulder pads - fruits of Team's Rocket's technology. While Lt. Surge monologues, Red sends in [[Pika]] to electrify Surge, but the attack proves futile against Lt. Surge's insulated underclothes. As he continues to attack Red relentlessly, Lt. Surge reveals the legendary {{p|Zapdos}} to be the eternal source of his electric onslaught.

Through the {{p|Golbat}} on his arm, Koga displays the visual of Red suffering at the hands of Lt. Surge; Blue is concerned but completely unable to do combat. Having Grimer loosen its grip on Blue slightly, Koga offers Blue a deal: he would either, as {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, convince the kidnapped researcher to cooperate with Team Rocket, or die. A resolute nod from Scyther confirms Blue's refusal to comply; Scyther wrings free from Grimer's grasp but is promptly subdued by Koga's {{p|Ekans}}. Koga then has Golbat deliver a {{m|Razor Wind}} at Blue's chest, seemingly delivering a fatal blow as Blue collapses...

* The VIZ Media second edition contains three errors in this chapter. On page 23, {{Adv|Blue}} erroneously refers to [[Lavender Town]] as "Lavender City", and on page 27, {{Adv|Red}} says "Pikachu... read?!" instead of "ready". Also on page 27, multiple Electrode are referred to as "Electrodes".
