===Trainers' School===

In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VII}}, this school is located in the center of Viridian. It is a place dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Before Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, it was referred to as the Pokémon Academy.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, this school has been replaced by the [[Trainer House]].

===Trainer House===

{{main|Trainer House}}

In Generation IV, the player will initially only find {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}} in the basement. When the player meets another Trainer via the Pokéwalker and re-syncs the Pokéwalker back to their game, the other Trainer will also appear in the basement with their party. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in 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 [[Battle Point|BP]] for each victory.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], his role is instead served by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

Ash later passed through Viridian on his way home in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances ended up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader, [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Agatha]]. Ash also met [[Scott]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} from him, becoming interested enough to challenge it.

===Pokémon Adventures===

[[File:Viridian City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} were forced to chase some of the Pokémon that Red had accidentally set free from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] all the way to [[Pallet Town]]'s neighbor city, including a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which the two chased to the abandoned [[Viridian Gym]]. After Red had helped Bulbasaur to defeat a wild {{p|Machoke}} attacking them, Professor Oak chose to give Bulbasaur to Red, along with a [[Pokédex]].

Red revisited Viridian City in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' after helping a {{adv|Yellow|young girl}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. Upon hearing rumors about the missing "invincible" Gym Leader, Red decided to check out the Viridian Gym again. At the Gym, he met {{adv|Giovanni}}, learning that not only was he the Viridian City Gym Leader, but also the leader of [[Team Rocket]]. Giovanni then challenged Red to a battle, making a bet with him that should Red lose, he'd come to serve him as his right-hand man. During the battle, Giovanni's {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} caused the Viridian Gym to collapse into ruins. Eventually Red emerged victorious with his [[Pika]] defeating Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} and knocking the Gym Leader himself unconscious as well.

In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived in Viridian City to meet Blue at the Gym, but only found his hologram, set there in case for a challenger coming while he was not present. An automated system then brought out Blue's Pokémon, which, even without their Trainer giving them commands, easily defeated Yellow's [[Chuchu]] in a battle. {{adv|Silver}} soon arrived at the site as well, looking for his roots. Unexpectedly, the two were attacked by [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of Team Rocket, who revealed that Silver was actually Giovanni's long-lost son. This revelation shocked Silver so much that the two Team Rocket members had no trouble in knocking him out and taking him to the [[Team Rocket airship]], with Yellow giving chase.
