Butterfree (Greta Parker)

Caterpie is the first Pokémon Greta Parker caught in Pocket Monsters. Before Caterpie was caught, she used to live in Pallet Jungle.

Kanto Journey - The Beginning
After Greta was given a task to catch a wild Pokémon in Pallet Jungle by Professor Oak in, she visited the jungle with Redwald Walker. After she and her Nidoran battled a wild Spearow in the jungle, they encountered the Caterpie on a tree, eating leaves. Greta stated that she always dreamed of catching a Caterpie, which led them to have a Pokémon Battle. Caterpie's opponent was Nidoran. During their battle, Caterpie showed how good she was at climbing and walking on upright objects such as trees and walls. Also Caterpie would use her String Shot as a defense mechanism to slow down the foe and attack them with Tackle fastly. The Pokémon Battle were almost in a draw for the whole time until Nidoran's Poison Point was activated and Caterpie got poisoned for touching her. Eventually, Greta caught Caterpie and so she became the member of her team.

Caterpie appeared for the first time in after she was caught. While Greta, and  were in danger, she was called out of the PokéBall. She had been domestic and loyal to Greta. When her owner ordered Caterpie to use String Shot move, in order to slow down a wild Kangaskhan who was chasing them behind in Pallet Jungle, Caterpie did her best to stop her for a while.

Caterpie participated in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition in as it was stated in. Greta used Caterpie in the quarter final round for the first time. Caterpie's opponent was a random student's Staryu. Caterpie slowed down the foe by using her String Shot, although Staryu had a good strength to use Water Gun. Once again, Caterpie battled for Greta during the semi finals. Caterpie was matched with. At first, both Pokémon used String Shot to slow down each other. Then, Weedle was in advantageous position since he knew a Poison type move. As he prepared himself to use Poison Sting, Caterpie dodged his move and Weedle was stuck from his head to the woods. As Greta and Caterpie took advantage of it, Caterpie used Tackle on Weedle over and over again, eventually Weedle lost his energy quite a lot. After he pulled his off the wood, he could not stand anymore and fainted, which led Greta and her team to the final round.

In the final battle in, Caterpie's first opponent was. As Greta remembered Caterpie's useful tactic which she used against a wild Kangaskhan, using her String Shot to slow them down, she used the same tactic against Cubone as well. After Cubone was almost distracted with all the strings, Caterpie used Tackle over and over again and defeated the foe. Her next opponent was, who would keep a distance from the foe and himself by flying high. Caterpie could not do much of anything due to the terms, and was fainted after she was hit with Rage move.
