{{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] first met her when [[Brock's Crobat|Brock's Golbat]] flew away while they were having a meal. Brock followed Golbat and he came across Tierra lying unconscious. Brock, as always, immediately fell for her and helped her regain her senses.

However, Brock's Golbat managed to break through the power of the mask but was attacked by Geodude and Onix and was buried under rubble. Brock risked his life to dig out Golbat and then afterwards, it evolved into Crobat and blasted Team Rocket away. After that, Tierra kept the mask for further study and the group waved good-bye to her as they continued their journey to [[Olivine City]].
