The old man outside the Gym tells you, "This Gym didn't have a Leader until recently. A young man from Pallet became the Leader, but he's often away." Giovanni's disappearance three years ago left a vacant Gym Leader position, and Blue had just lost his title as Pokémon Champion to Red, so he took the position at Viridian Gym. He happens to be out of town right now, so you'll have to wait a while to battle him.

Talk to the guy in the southwest field (you'll need Cut or Surf to reach him) to get TM42 (Dream Eater).

Trainer House

One new addition is the Pokémon academy was rebuilt as the Trainer House.

The Trainer House allows players to battle an opponent under controlled conditions. If the player has not used the Mystery Gift function, the opponent will always be Cal, who uses the final forms of the Johto starters at level 50. If the player has used Mystery Gift, the opponent will be the last person that the player that interacted with the player using the function. Their team will stay as it was when Mystery Gift was used, including held items, moves, and levels. A great way to earn extra experience and money, but only available once a day.

Head south to Route 1.

Later...

Return to Viridian after running into Blue on Cinnabar Island, and defeating Blaine at the Seafoam Islands. After speaking with him, he'll return to the Gym to await your challenge.

Pallet Town

Pallet Town

This tiny town is where the Pokémon games first began. The house on the left is Red's, a previous Pokémon League Champion now off somewhere training by himself, and the house on the right is Blue's, former Champion and current Gym Leader of Viridian City.

Blue's sister will groom one Pokémon a day if you speak to her (which can help you obtain new Pokémon like Espeon and Umbreon).

Professor Oak will rate your Pokédex for you. He also tells you to visit again after obtaining all 8 Kanto Gym badges, because he will have a gift for you.

Surf south to Route 21.
