[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon at the Lake of Rage near Mahogany town. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for their battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. When the player returns to Mahogany town and enters the Souvenir Shop, they will find Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}} threatening the man in the shop. A secret door will open to the Rocket base, which was revealed by a Rocket Grunt to be an old ninja hideout. After the player defeats the Rocket Executive found in the hideout, Lance asks the player to help him knock out the Electrode powering the machine producing the radio waves. | [[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region.

After the player defeats [[Pryce]] - the leader of Mahogany Gym - Professor Elm will call the player and tell them about unusual broadcasts from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. When the player reaches Goldenrod City, it is revealed that Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower, their intent being to try to contact their missing leader, [[Giovanni]], and persuade him to return to Team Rocket. Also, the Director of the Goldenrod station has been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor. After the player defeats the impostor, he will tell them the location of the real Director. When the player frees the real Director, he will give the player the Card Key, which opens the door on 3F of the Radio Tower and leads to the Rocket Executive currently in charge of the group. The player defeats the executive and Team Rocket officially disbands for a second time. The Director rewards the player with a [[Clear Bell]]. | ||
Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a Legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[Legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally catching a glimpse of it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with the Clear Bell that the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the Legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar. | Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a Legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[Legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]].

Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or hacking, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City of the Western releases of Crystal, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped. | ||
* Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. The localizations reverted it to the Pokémon Center of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while changing some of the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] to match those in the Pokémon Communication Center. | * Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center.
