Viridian Gym

The Viridian Gym is located on a hill on the north side of town. The building is open, but no one is around. According to an elderly man outside the entrance, the Gym did not have a Gym Leader until recently, when a young man from Pallet Town took the role. He is often away, however, so challenging the Viridian Gym will need to wait.

Trainer House

Trainer House, 1F

Trainer House, B1F

The Trainer House is located in the middle of the city. Built near Indigo Plateau, the ultimate destination for Pokémon Trainers, the Trainer House allows participants to battle in a controlled environment. According to visitors inside the building, only the best Trainers gather here. These Trainers turn out to be real-life people met via the Pokéwalker, and will appear after the accessory is synced with the game. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered this way. Any Pokémon in a Trainer's party above level 50 will have their level reduced to 50. Battles here give no experience or money, but the player will receive 1 BP for each victory. If the player has not used the Pokéwalker, the default opponent is Cal, whose team includes the final forms of each of Professor Elm's Pokémon.

Red's house

The northwest house belongs to Red and his mother, but Red is currently away. He defeated his neighbor and rival, Blue, to earn the Champion title, but gave up that role within the Pokémon League in order to continue his training. His mother is proud of him, but still worries that he is all alone somewhere.

Blue's house

The northeast house belongs to Blue and his sister, Daisy, but Blue is away as well. She reveals that her brother serves as the Viridian City Gym Leader, and that his frequent traveling causes problems for the Gym's challengers.

Spa Day with Daisy

Speak to Daisy between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and she offers to groom a single Pokémon. Grooming increases a Pokémon's friendship rating, and boosting this value is essential in order to obtain certain Pokémon. Daisy offers her grooming service once per day.

Professor Oak's Lab

The large building to the south is Professor Oak's laboratory. Speak with the professor to have him rate your Pokédex progress. He also asks that you visit again after earning all eight Kanto Gym Badges, as he will have a gift for you.
