Kitty (Japanese: ピーすけ Piisuke) is one of the Pokémon that Yellow has in the Pokémon Special manga.

History

Kitty first appeared in Celadon City as a wild Caterpie, where he was rescued by Yellow from the flames of Blaine’s Growlithe which was attacking Agatha’s Gastly. Kitty then followed Yellow all the way to the eastern Cerulean mountains, where Yellow spent an entire day attempting to catch it. With Green's assistance, the Caterpie was finally caught.

Initially, she used Red’s Pokédex to keep Kitty from evolving, as she did with all her Pokémon following the shock of Ratty’s evolution. Later, in the battle against Lance, after Yellow has los tthe Pokédex, Kitty evolves into a Metapod to shield Yellow from a Hyper Beam then immediately into a Butterfree at the same time as all of Yellow’s other Pokémon. As a Butterfree, he carried her aloft, allowing her to conduct an aerial battle during the final confrontation with Lance on and above the back of the legendary Pokémon.
