They all have the same purpose, to find the Moon Stone, a rock with a moon-shaped inscription that can enhance a Pokémon's power. They enter the cave, but it is too dark to see anything. Red sends out Pika to illuminate the cave, and the darkness is no longer a problem. Suddenly, Red collides with a, which turns out to belong to Team Rocket. The Grunts, along with Koga, surround them, and Red challenges Koga to a battle.

Rhyhorn begins with, managing to bury Pika, only for Pika to recover and fire a blast of electricity, surrounded by electrified debris from Rock Throw. The attack successfully knocks out Rhyhorn, but then Koga injects a liquid that forces Rhyhorn to evolve into. Misty realizes that her Gyarados was similarly abused, and furious at Koga's nonchalant attitude she attacks the newly evolved Rhydon with her. Unfortunately, the attack is returned by, pushing Misty against the cave wall and causing her to faint. Rhydon stomps on Pika before moving in to finish Red, but Pika slides out from underneath Rhydon having charged itself tremendously. Using its tail, Pika cuts off a huge portion off the cave roof, blocking the cave and allowing Red a chance to escape with the others.

Outside the cave, Misty regains consciousness, while Red reveals that he pocketed the Moon Stone after Pika collapsed the cave.
