The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the Gold and Silver versions respectively. The player can either go to the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] or the [[Whirl Islands]] at this point, to challenge Ho-Oh or Lugia, respectively; or they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and the [[Ice Cave]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the player finds the item, they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], traveling down {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|46|Johto}}.

Professor Elm contacts the player, and awards them with a Master Ball when visited. From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

After the credits roll, the player ends up back in [[New Bark Town]] in their room; however, Professor Elm calls, requesting a favor. After visiting his lab, he gives the player a [[List of key items in Generation II#S.S. Ticket|S.S. Ticket]] that allows access to the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ship that travels to and from [[Kanto]], the region that Elm wishes for them to explore. On the first entry into the S.S. Aqua, a man will bump into the player, and will ask them for help as he has lost his granddaughter on the ship. After locating her in the captain's cabin and reuniting her with his grandfather, the ship will arrive in [[Vermilion City]], where the player will take their true first steps in Kanto.

At this point, the player is given free reign to travel throughout the (scaled-down) Kanto region, and collect the eight Badges from [[Generation I]]'s [[Indigo League#Gym Leaders of the Indigo League|Gym Leaders]]. The player can accomplish this in any order; however, certain events must be completed before some Leaders can be challenged. For example, a Team Rocket grunt has stolen a Machine Part from the [[Power Plant]] and hidden it inside [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]]; the grunt must be fought and the Machine Part restored to the Power Plant before [[Misty]] can be found at [[Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the Gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Indigo {{pkmn|Champion}} {{ga|Blue}} is now its Leader; however, Blue is at the site of [[Cinnabar Island]], musing over its destruction by the local volcano's eruption. When found there, Blue will return to [[Viridian Gym]] to be battled. Blaine was the Leader of [[Cinnabar Gym]]; when the town was destroyed, he took refuge in the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.

* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Lost Item|lost doll}}. According to her mother, this is the same {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll|doll}} that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
