'''Viridian Forest''' (Japanese: '''トキワのもり''' ''Tokiwa Forest'') is a forest which lies between [[Viridian City]] and [[Pewter City]] in the middle of {{rt|2}} with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of {{t|Bug}}- and {{type2|Flying}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}} that attract [[Bug Catcher]]s and other Trainers.

Even before the celebrations for Ash catching his first Pokémon could start, he spots yet another Pokémon, a {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}}, knocking it out, and Ash easily makes his second capture. At the end of the episode, Caterpie starts covering itself with some fluids and becomes brighter and brighter.

Viridian Forest (Japanese: トキワのもり Tokiwa Forest) is a forest which lies between Viridian City and Pewter City in the middle of Route 2 with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of Bug- and Template:Type2 Pokémon that attract Bug Catchers and other Trainers.

Viridian Forest disappears in the Generation II games, possibly cut down, as in its place are standard trees on Route 2 (forming roughly the same design as before), items and Berry trees. In the Generation IV remakes, the forest remains in full. Viridian Forest no longer exists as a standalone area and has been replaced with a tree maze that is now part of Route 2. The maze, which contains items placed similar to those located in the Generation I and III versions of Viridian Forest, is designed with the same layout as Viridian Forest. In Generation II, Viridian Forest remains in Route 2 with Pokémon similar to that of Pokémon Yellow.

Even before the celebrations for Ash catching his first Pokémon could start, he spots yet another Pokémon, a Pidgeotto. Ash uses his Pikachu, knocking it out, and Ash easily makes his second capture.

Pidgeot and Pikachu team up to defeat the Fearow and its gang. Ash then decides to leave Pidgeot in the forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Many important people were born here, including Lance, Giovanni, and Yellow. It is said that people born in Viridian Forest are given special powers. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal Pokémon using physical touch as well as to read the minds of Pokémon. Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely Poké Balls, as well as raise her Pokémon's levels using the power of the Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.

The forest is first visited in The Secret of Kangaskhan (Red, Green & Blue chapter) by Red and Blue. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild Kangaskhan and its baby. Other Pokémon that appear in Viridian Forest are Kangaskhan, Venomoth, Caterpie, Dratini (origin unknown, but definitely not from Viridian Forest), Golem (brought by Giovanni), and Weezing (brought by Giovanni).
