The Viridian Gym debuted in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. Before {{Ash}} could challenge the Gym, however, {{Gary}} appeared, taunting him with his ten Badges and insisting on challenging the Viridian Gym for fun. Gary faced Giovanni, though his confidence quickly eroded after Giovanni brought out {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, who defeated each of Gary's Pokémon with ease, even when Giovanni allowed him to use more than one Pokémon at a time. | The Viridian Gym debuted in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

Ash challenged the Gym soon after. However, unbeknownst to him, Giovanni had unmentioned business to attend to, and thus he left the Gym in the care of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, giving them several Pokémon to use against any possible challengers. At first, Ash had a hard time beating them, as the trio had rigged the Trainer platforms to shock anyone whose Pokémon took [[damage]].

At first, Ash had a hard time beating them, as the trio had rigged the Trainer platforms to shock anyone whose Pokémon took [[damage]]. Eventually, Ash overcame the borrowed Pokémon's power and defeated all of them, causing Team Rocket to completely ignore the Gym rules and send out their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Despite this, even the two additional Pokémon were quickly taken down. When {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} started playing with Meowth's remote control, it inadvertently caused the Trainer platforms to explode and send Team Rocket blasting off again. They dropped an {{badge|Earth}} in their wake, allowing Ash to get his eighth Badge. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, Gary, and [[Gary's cheerleaders]] then ran out of the Gym, which proceeded to collapse into ruins due to the explosion. | ||
The rebuilt Viridian Gym appeared when Ash returned to [[Kanto]] from [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where it was revealed that [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] was now the temporary Gym Leader. Ash challenged her to an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}, but lost. This was also the place where Ash first met [[Scott]], who told him about the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. During its second appearance, the Gym sported a new, lighter color scheme. | The rebuilt Viridian Gym appeared when Ash returned to [[Kanto]] from [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where it was revealed that [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] was now the temporary Gym Leader.
