A Hollow Victreebel (Japanese: VSウツボット VS. Utsubot) is the twenty-second round in the Red, Green & Blue arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Synopsis

Red tries to escape from a Victreebel. The Victreebel sets Red upon a tree branch when a Pidgey robot guide appears to help Red out of his situation. They use the Poké Flute and Poké Doll to distract the Bellsprout and Weepinbell from eating Red for the evolution ritual. After escaping, Red bumps into the Nidoking that he had fought earlier and catches the Victreebel that was fighting Nidoking. He then uses it to battle Nidoking, using PoisonPowder on it, and captures it as well. Still, many more Pokémon are after them.

The next day, the old man and Pika find Red's cap where suddenly many Pokémon appear. Red is among them, and it is revealed that they are all Red's newly caught Pokémon.
