== Synopsis ==
'''Zap! Zap! Zapdos!''' (Japanese: '''VS サンダ''' ''VS {{tt|Thunder|Zapdos}}'') is the 30th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
{{Spoilers}}
The chapter starts with Blue entering the [[Silph Co.]] building, which is being held by Team Rocket. She arrives at the third floor, but falls right into a trap set by [[Sabrina]]. Her Psychic Pokémon cause Blue to have the illusion of a nightmarish world, but she is unfazed. Instead, she sends out her [[Blastoise]], and orders it to attack Sabrina. However, Sabrina uses her [[Kadabra]] to [[Teleport]] behind Blue. After revealing that she created the barrier around [[Saffron City]], she uses Kadabra's Psychic to knock [[Blue (Special)|Blue's]] Poké Balls off of her waist. Kadabra then nearly kills the Blastoise, but when the blow is dealt, it turns out that it was merely Blue's Ditto. She sends out the real Blastoise, which quickly deals with the Kadabra using [[Mega Punch]]. Now Blue sends out [[Horsea]]. Horsea uses Smokescreen to create a blanket of smoke around them, making seeing impossible for the Gym Leader. She watches Sabrina carefully through a pair of special goggles.


Back on the first floor, [[Lt. Surge]] is killing Red with electricity. He hurls him against the wall. When Red tries to retaliate with his Ivysaur, Lt. Surge tells Zapdos to use Thundershock on Red, Ivysaur and [[Pika]]. They are immoblized, with Ivysaur nearly passing out. When Surge orders Zapdos to go for the kill and use all of its energy, Ivysaur uses Razor Leaf to rip a tear in the corrupt Gym Leader's insulated jumpsuit. All of the electricity goes directly into his body, leaving him knocked out. Red takes the [[Thunder Badge]], as well as the rubber gloves that he was wearing, and goes up to the second floor, where he sees [[Green (Special)|Green]] about to be killed.

== Major Events ==
A voice speaks from behind her, saying that the power of {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon will force her to experience her most terrible fears. As [[Sabrina]] finishes teleporting in, Green decides to engage her in battle, sending out [[Blasty]], Sabrina effortlessly able to dodge his attacks by using {{tp|Sabrina|Kadabra}}'s {{m|Teleport}} to stay in safety. Recognizing her opponent's control over both Teleport and {{m|Hypnosis}}, Green concludes that she must be a master of Psychic types. Sabrina introduces herself and brags that it was her who created the {{m|Light Screen}} around [[Saffron City]]. Standing by her Kadabra, she promises to treat the intruder to the wonders of the third floor, and commands a {{m|Psychic}}, causing Green to stumble in pain as all her [[Poké Ball]]s snap off her dress and fall to the ground. Sabrina laughs and gives her credit for at least being able to fool Red and Green, as her Kadabra strikes at Blasty. Sneering at Green for immediately using her strongest Pokémon, Sabrina has Kadabra hold Blasty in a {{m|Disable}} before delivering a blow that shatters its shell.
 
Green cries out in disbelief, she walks over to another one of her Poké Balls and throws it out, revealing another {{p|Blastoise}}. Before Sabrina can react, Green commands out {{m|Mega Punch}}, immediately knocking down Kadabra. As the other Blastoise reveals itself to be [[Ditty]], Green sends out her {{p|Horsea}} and releases a thick {{m|Smokescreen}}, telling off Sabrina for thinking she's the only one who can play tricks on people. She puts on her modified [[Silph Scope]] to allow a clear view through the smoke, and continues taunting her. Sabrina and her Kadabra are completely disoriented, unable to even ascertain where Green's voice is coming from.
 
Meanwhile on the first floor, Red is still suffering Lt. Surge's constant attacks, throwing him and [[Pika]] against one of the electric walls. Despite his pain, Red manages to send out [[Saur]], knowing he needs to make a move. Before he can call out a move, Lt. Surge strikes first with Zapdos, a {{m|Thunder Shock}} immediately almost completely knocking out Saur. Lt. Surge taunts him as Red speaks encouragement to his Pokémon to gather the strength to fight back. Firing back a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, Zapdos is still left untouched. Lt. Surge figures he needs to be dealt with in a truly decisive blow, and orders Zapdos to attack with its max strength attack, {{m|Thunder}}.
 
Just before Zapdos strikes, Red orders Saur to carry out their plan. Suddenly, the loose leaves from Razor Leaf are redirected, severing the jumper cables attached to Zapdos, leaving Lt. Surge vulnerable to its electricity. Boasting that no electricity will ever make it through his insulated suit, he looks down and notices large cuts in the fabric along his body. The attack sends a crippling dose of electricity through his body, immediately knocking him to the ground, incapacitated. Red celebrates with Saur and quickly roots through Lt. Surge's pockets, producing the {{badge|Thunder}} and his electric-proof gloves. As Red leaves for the second floor, he gives Lt. Surge with a warning about what happens if you try to get by with only brute strength or raw numbers, saying that there's nothing more powerful than the bond between Trainer and Pokémon.
 
As he arrives at the next floor, he quickly rushes in as Koga sends in his {{TP|Koga|Golbat}} to deliver the final blow against Blue, still helplessly pinned under {{p|Grimer}}.

With Red and Blue facing off against Lt. Surge and Koga, respectively, Green is free to enter the Silph Co. building unfettered to accomplish her own objectives. However, when she enters a room on the third floor, a loud gonging sound stops her in her tracks, leaving her nervously checking her surroundings for where it could've come from. Passing through the door leading to her destination, she suddenly finds herself outside.

A voice speaks from behind her, saying that the power of Psychic-type Pokémon will force her to experience her most terrible fears. As Sabrina finishes teleporting in, Green decides to engage her in battle, sending out Blasty, Sabrina effortlessly able to dodge his attacks by using Kadabra's Teleport to stay in safety. Recognizing her opponent's control over both Teleport and Hypnosis, Green concludes that she must be a master of Psychic types. Sabrina introduces herself and brags that it was her who created the Light Screen around Saffron City. Standing by her Kadabra, she promises to treat the intruder to the wonders of the third floor, and commands a Psychic, causing Green to stumble in pain as all her Poké Balls snap off her dress and fall to the ground. Sabrina laughs and gives her credit for at least being able to fool Red and Green, as her Kadabra strikes at Blasty. Sneering at Green for immediately using her strongest Pokémon, Sabrina has Kadabra hold Blasty in a Disable before delivering a blow that shatters its shell.

Green cries out in disbelief, she walks over to another one of her Poké Balls and throws it out, revealing another Blastoise. Before Sabrina can react, Green commands out Mega Punch, immediately knocking down Kadabra. As the other Blastoise reveals itself to be Ditty, Green sends out her Horsea and releases a thick Smokescreen, telling off Sabrina for thinking she's the only one who can play tricks on people. She puts on her modified Silph Scope to allow a clear view through the smoke, and continues taunting her. Sabrina and her Kadabra are completely disoriented, unable to even ascertain where Green's voice is coming from.

Meanwhile on the first floor, Red is still suffering Lt. Surge's constant attacks, throwing him and Pika against one of the electric walls. Despite his pain, Red manages to send out Saur, knowing he needs to make a move. Before he can call out a move, Lt. Surge strikes first with Zapdos, a Thunder Shock immediately almost completely knocking out Saur. Lt. Surge taunts him as Red speaks encouragement to his Pokémon to gather the strength to fight back. Firing back a Razor Leaf, Zapdos is still left untouched. Lt. Surge figures he needs to be dealt with in a truly decisive blow, and orders Zapdos to attack with its max strength attack, Thunder.

Just before Zapdos strikes, Red orders Saur to carry out their plan. Suddenly, the loose leaves from Razor Leaf are redirected, severing the jumper cables attached to Zapdos, leaving Lt.

As he arrives at the next floor, he quickly rushes in as Koga sends in his Golbat to deliver the final blow against Blue, still helplessly pinned under Grimer.
