==Eyecatch==

In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian Forest appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Pikachu}}.

[[File:Viridian Forest anime.png|thumb|220px|Outline of Viridian Forest as seen in the anime]]

Viridian Forest has appeared in multiple episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first shown at the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. While traveling through the forest, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} encountered a {{p|Caterpie}}, and Ash decided to throw a [[Poké Ball]] at it to try and capture it.

The Forest was seen again in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', where Ash caught his first two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}: {{AP|Caterpie}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Ash effortlessly caught the Caterpie by tossing a Poké Ball at it, and {{p|Pidgeotto}} was caught on the following day after a brief battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}. At the end of the episode, after defeating {{TRT}} in a battle, Caterpie evolved into {{p|Metapod}}.

The Forest was also the setting of the [[EP004|following episode]]. While traveling through the Forest, Ash spotted a {{p|Weedle}} and decided to catch it. He used Pidgeotto against it, but a person dressed as a [[samurai]] arrived on scene and challenged Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile the Weedle escaped and the samurai rebuked Ash for it. The two then engaged themselves in a Pokémon battle, which got stuck on its place for hours as their Metapod were unable to do anything but using {{m|Harden}}. All of sudden, a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} arrived and carried Ash's Metapod away. The samurai took Ash, Misty, and their other Pokémon to a safe place, but not before running into group of {{p|Kakuna}} which promptly evolved and attacked them. The next day, Ash went and saved his Metapod from under the very same tree, having noticed him there the day before. Due Team Rocket's loud entrance, the Beedrill woke up and started chasing Ash. He apologized Metapod for leaving him in trouble like that, after which he saved his Trainer from a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack. Afterwards, he quickly evolved into a {{AP|Butterfree}} and saved Ash, Misty, and the samurai by putting the Beedrill asleep with {{m|Sleep Powder}}. At the end of the episode, Ash and Misty left Viridian Forest.

Later in the series, Ash released his newly evolved {{AP|Pidgeot}} near Viridian Forest in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. As the group went through Viridian Forest, Ash and his friends were attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The flock's leader was a {{AP|Fearow}}, which apparently [[Evolution|evolved]] from the Spearow that Ash hit with a rock on [[EP001|the first day of his journey]]. Ash climbed a tree to escape and found Team Rocket with a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} who were in a turf war with the flock of Spearow. After sending Team Rocket falling from tree as a bait for the Spearow, Ash sent out his own Pidgeotto to tell the other bird Pokémon that it was safe to leave. The Fearow then came back, however, and started attacking bird Pokémon. Ash's Pidgeotto tried to fight the Fearow, but was badly hurt. Instead of giving up, however, it then evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Pidgeot and Pikachu then teamed up to defeat the Fearow and its minions. As Ash also tried to catch the Fearow but failed, forcing them just to chase it away. Ash decided to {{pkmn2|released|leave}} Pidgeot in the Forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

Many important people were born in or near the forest, including [[Lance]], {{adv|Giovanni}}, and {{adv|Yellow}}. It is said that once every few years, a child is born possessing the mysterious powers of the forest. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} using physical touch as well as the ability to read the minds of Pokémon. In addition, Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as raise her Pokémon's [[level]]s using the power of Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary and temporary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.

The forest is first visited in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' ({{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}) by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild {{p|Kangaskhan}} and its baby. Upon Red's return to Viridian City via the forest, he saves a young Yellow from being attacked by a wild {{p|Dratini}}.

* In {{v2|Yellow}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} can be found in the forest, most likely to represent [[Ash's Pidgeotto|the events of the anime]]. However, they are [[level]] 9 and 7, respectively; normally {{p|Pidgey}} evolves at level 18.
