Tauros the Tyrant (Japanese: VSケンタロス VS. Kentauros) is the sixteenth round of the the Red, Green & Blue chapter in the Pokémon Special manga.
Synopsis
spoilers In Celadon's Arcade, Red is shown to have infilttrated Team Rocket, having learnt that they too are on the hunt for the mysterious {{special|Blue]], the girl who stole his two precious Badges. However, he gets more than he bargained for when he ends up in a secret underground laboratory - where he and the other Team Rocket Grunts are shown a half-formed Mewtwo, a new Pokémon formed from cells the Grunts obtained from {{p|Mew]]. The Mewtwo is incomplete - and to complete it, they need more cells to be taken from Mew. This is why they are looking for Blue - it seems that she has stolen the disk which contains all their information on Mew.
With this information, Red begins to look differently on Blue, as he realises that she too is working against the villainous Team - but his thoughts are interrupted as he and the other Grunts are mobilised towards a sighting of Blue. Making his way to her location, he finds her surrounded by Grunts - but she recats by coolly tossing the disk into her Wartortle's mouth, and warning Team Rocket that if they attack, the disk will be damaged.
Team Rocket attack with Machoke and Hitmonlee, but in their attempts to protect the disk whilst also taking down Wartortle, the two Pokémon simply end up injuring each other, much to Blue's delight. As she gloats, Red is furious to notice that she is wearing his stolen Badges as earrings.
The highest-ranking member of Team Rocket present loses patience and calls out his Tauros - a Pokémon that he warns Blue was the leader of its herd, King of the Safari Zone, with the power to control other Pokémon. The Tauros commands all of Team Rocket's Pokémon at once, quickly neutralizing Wartortle and recovering the disk. with the tide of battle turning against her, and finding herself backed up against a cliff edge, Blue switches Wartortle for her Ditto, much to the amusement of the Grunts present. As the Tauros charges her down, Red can't stand by and watch and throws her to the ground, protecting her as the Tauros passes by overhead and tumbles down the cliff with Ditto.
Blue seems pleased to see Red - calling him her 'hero' - but he is confused as to why she isn't more concerned about Ditto, especially since Tauros has made its way back up the cliff. More surprises await, as the Tauros turns all the Pokémon present against the gathered Grunts. In the confusion, Blue grabs Red make a run for it, revealing Red's identity as an infiltrator in the process. Using her Jigglypuff, which is able to inflate itself similarly to a hot-air balloon, Blue escapes with Red, and the 'Tauros' reveals itself to be Ditto, utilising its power to transform into other Pokémon, before returning to its Poké Ball.
As they float away, the Grunts curse their bad luck - but quickly forget aobut the indignities they've just faced. After all, the mission is complete - they've retrieved the disk containing the vital information about Mew . . .
