[[File:Saffron City RBY.png|thumb|300px|Saffron City]]

The sprawling [[Saffron City]] is home to two rival Pokémon Gyms; the official [[Saffron Gym]], and the adjacent [[Fighting Dojo]]. Situated in the middle of town is the headquarters of [[Silph Co.]], which manufactures items like [[Potion]]s and {{ball|Poké}}s. It is the company's top-secret development project that has drawn [[Team Rocket]] to the city.

Visit the house in the southeast to meet Mr. Psychic, and get {{TM|29|Psychic}} from him.  

One of Saffron's major attractions is that there are two Gyms here, not one. Located adjacent to the official [[Saffron Gym]], the [[Fighting Dojo]] is an optional challenge. While there is no badge to be won here, the Karate Master will offer the choice of two {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon—the hard-kicking {{p|Hitmonlee}} or the piston-punching {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

With [[Pokémon Tower]] cleared, the guard outside Silph Co. is taking a nap, leaving a perfect opportunity to sneak inside. The company uses [[warp tile]]s to allow their employees to quickly move around the huge building, which create a giant maze leading to Giovanni.

The objective is to reach the top floor and rescue the Silph president from [[Giovanni]]. Taking the direct route to the top floor avoids most of the 31 Trainer battles here (and the money and [[experience]] that goes with it) and gets right to the boss, after which Trainers can collect the items without opposition. When medical attention becomes an issue, either leave for the Pokémon Center or look for the woman in the southwest corner of the 9th floor.

There's no way to bypass the electronic doors yet, so step on either warp to teleport to 8F.

[[File:Silph Co 8F RBY.png|thumb|Silph Co, 8F]]

Clear out the Rockets here, then take the elevator to 3F.

[[File:Silph Co 3F RBY.png|thumb|left|Silph Co, 3F]]

Step out of the elevator and take the warp near the stairs back to the second floor. Talk to the woman to get {{TM|36|Selfdestruct}}, and warp back to 3F.

Fight the lone Rocket and take the warp in the southwest to a locked room on 5F. Grab the {{TM|09|Take Down}} and warp back. Climb the stairs to the fourth floor.

[[File:Silph Co 4F RBY.png|thumb|Silph Co, 4F]]

Beat the Rockets here, and climb to the fifth floor.

[[File:Silph Co 5F RBY.png|thumb|left|Silph Co, 5F]]

Beat the Rocket and Scientist near the stairs, and follow the hallway to the south to find a Rocket next to a warp tile. Defeat the Rocket, jump on the warp, and warp right back. Walk down and follow the narrow path to the right to find the {{key|I|Card Key}}, which opens any of the building's electronic doors. Go back towards the Rocket, and open the northwest door for a {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}}. Get upstairs to 6F.

[[File:Silph Co 6F RBY.png|thumb|Silph Co, 6F]]

Open the door past the Scientist to find an {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}} and an {{DL|Battle item|X Accuracy}}. Climb to 7F.

[[File:Silph Co 7F RBY.png|thumb|left|Silph Co, 7F]]

Use the Card Key to open the nearest door and grab {{TM|03|Swords Dance}}. You can battle the grunt on the other side of the door near the TM, but the nearby warp only leads back to 5F. After battling the Rocket along the north wall (next to the counter), walk to the left you'll see your rival loitering in the next room. Follow the narrow hallway south to an area with a Scientist, grab the {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, and head up two flights of stairs to reach 9F.

[[File:Silph Co 9F RBY.png|thumb|Silph Co, 9F]]

By now, your team may be running out of energy. After beating the Rocket, open the door nearby and talk to the woman near the beds. To thank you for your efforts, she'll heal your team to full health. Beat the second Rocket and take the stairs to 10F.

[[File:Silph Co 10F RBY.png|thumb|left|Silph Co, 10F]]

There are only two thugs to fight here, but make sure to grab the {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}, {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}, and {{TM|26|Earthquake}} from the southwest room. Take the stairs to 11F for a quick battle.

[[File:Silph Co 11F RBY.png|thumb|Silph Co, 11F]]

Beat the lone Rocket Grunt here, and take the elevator all the way down to the third floor.

Use the Card Key to unlock the door in the center of the floor. Unlock the next door beyond that, beat the Scientist, grab the {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} behind him, and take the warp near the first door. This sends you up to 7F again, where your rival attacks.

Once he leaves, speak with the Silph employee nearby to get a {{p|Lapras}}, a rare {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon, and take the southern warp to the eleventh floor.

One last Rocket Grunt stands before Giovanni; take out his {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, and {{p|Marowak}} to clear a path to the boss. If your team needs to rest, take a trip to the Pokémon Center or the woman on 9F to heal up. Open the door with the {{key|I|Card Key}} to confront Giovanni.

With [[Giovanni]] defeated, [[Team Rocket]]'s hold on [[Silph Co.]] is broken. The president is so relieved that his company is saved that he rewards you with the {{ball|Master}} prototype, a version of Poké Ball that catches any Pokémon without fail!

With the Rockets gone, you are free to collect any leftover items sitting around the building; stop by the 4th floor, and check the west room for a [[Full Heal]], {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}, and [[Escape Rope]]. You're also free to challenge the [[Saffron Gym]].

[[File:Saffron Gym RBY.png|thumb|Saffron Gym]]

{{sign|RBY|header}}

{{sign|RBY|footer}}

The [[Saffron Gym]] specializes in {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, and {{type|Bug}} moves like {{m|Twineedle}} are their worst nightmare. Despite the low number of Bug attacks, Bug Pokémon like {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, or {{p|Parasect}} are able to resist [[Sabrina]]'s psychic offensive. Her team's {{stat|defense}}s are weak, so try attacking with physical moves like {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Body Slam}}.

After the battle, [[Sabrina]] awards you the {{badge|Marsh}}. This badge ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 70. She also gives you {{TM|46|Psywave}} as a gift.

The next stop is [[Fuchsia City]] to the south, where you'll finally find {{HM|03|Surf}} and {{HM|04|Strength}}. There are two ways to get to Fuchsia—either head south from [[Lavender Town]], or west from [[Celadon City]]. The western path is where you'll find {{HM|02|Fly}}, and the {{key|I|Super Rod}} is found on the eastern path. For now, go west through [[Celadon City]] to reach {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
