The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives the player the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to aid him/her get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. The player (known by default as {{ga|Ethan|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}}, depending on the gender) meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his/her own Pokémon journey, gives him/her a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon his/her return to New Bark Town, the player is informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the Trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against); even more so, that very same Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. | The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand.

[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon at the Lake of Rage near Mahogany town. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for his/her battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. When the player returns to Mahogany town and enters the Souvenir Shop, he/she will find Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}} threatening the man in the shop. A secret door will open to the Rocket base, which was revealed by a Rocket Grunt to be an old ninja hideout.
