The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the {{p|Magikarp}} in the lake to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}, which caused the effect of the [[Red Gyarados]]. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets and defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket executives}}, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions respectively. The player then is allowed to go through the Ice Path and to Blackthorn City. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and take a test before they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player is given the Master Ball by Elm and is requested to visit the Kimono Girls to prove their worthiness. After defeating the Kimono Girls, the player will either go to the Bell Tower (HeartGold) or the Whirl Islands (SoulSilver) to encounter Ho-oh (HeartGold) or Lugia (SoulSilver). Then the player is allowed to go east of New Bark into Kanto.

From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The player then returns to their bedroom in New Bark Town. They head downstairs and receive a message that Professor Elm has something for them. Returning to his lab the player receives an [[SS Ticket]] for the fast ship [[S.S. Aqua]] departing to the region of [[Kanto]], where many rare Pokémon live. The player boards the ship in Olivine city and is bombarded by a sailor looking for his daughter who got loose on the ship. Searching the whole ship, the player finds a sailor who is angry that his co-worker is asleep on the job. Finding him and challenging him to a battle, he runs out of his cabin to join the mate. The player later finds the missing girl in the bottom of the ship. The girl asks the player to play hide and seek with her. The man from before then finds the girl as she mentions that the player was playing with her. The girl's grandpa thanks the player as the ship arrives at [[Vermillion City]] in Kanto.

Deciding to take on the Gyms of Kanto, the player enters the Gym in Vermillion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{t|Electric}} types, and earning the {{Badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the Gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{t|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{Badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the [[Copycat]] in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll. Going back to Vermillion's [[Pokémon Fan Club]] the player sees the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Lost Item}} and retrieves it bringing it back to the copycat who gives the player a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|pass}} to the Saffron [[Magnet Train]].

The player then travels east of Saffron to [[Celadon City]] and travels to the Gym taking on [[Erika]] and winning the {{Badge|Rainbow}}. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the [[Power Plant]] where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running. Traveling north of Saffron to [[Cerulean City]] the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the Gym. Traveling north onto [[Kanto Route 24|Route 24]] the player finds and battles a [[Team Rocket]] grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknownst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player. The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the Gym and retrieves the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Machine Part}}. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again made up and running.

The player then moves through the [[Rock Tunnel]] arriving at [[Lavender Town]] where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto. Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the power plant. Traveling the length of the [[Silence Bridge]] and [[Kanto Route 13|Routes 13]], [[Kanto Route 14|14]], and [[Kanto Route 15|15]], the player arrives at [[Fuschia City]] and takes on the Gym Leader [[Janine]] who specializes in {{t|Poison}} types winning the {{Badge|Soul}}. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds [[Misty]] with her boyfriend at [[Cerulean Cape]]. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed, a challenger. The player returns to Cerulean Gym and takes on Misty's {{t|Water}} types winning the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from {{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater|the Dance Theater}} in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.

** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theater in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.

* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Apricorn Box}}. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.

* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.

* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.

* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[friendship]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.

* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from {{tc|Juggler}}s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few Berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, where the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|SquirtBottle}} is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time.
