Viridian Gym: Difference between revisions

The Viridian Gym was first visited in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} entered it, following a {{p|Bulbasaur}} escaped from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. At the Gym, they are attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}, but Red managed to defeat it with [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Solar Beam}}.

The Viridian Gym made a brief appearance in at the end of ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'' and at the beginning of ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar]]'', where citizens of Viridian City were asking questions about {{adv|Giovanni}}.

Red revisited the Gym after the incident with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. There he met Giovanni, who challenged him into a battle. During the battle, Giovanni's {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} caused the Gym to collapse. Eventually Red emerged victorious.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Red's Gym Leader test was held in the Gym. Even though he won rather easily, Red declined the position, due to still not having completely recovered from injuries inflicted on him by [[Lorelei]] during the {{chap|Yellow}}. Thus {{adv|Blue}} was appointed as the Viridian Gym Leader instead.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Yellow}} went to the Viridian Gym, looking for Blue, 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, defeated Yellow's [[Chuchu]] in a battle easily. Soon {{adv|Silver}} arrived at the site as well, looking for his roots.
