The Viridian Gym was originally led by {{an|Giovanni}}, as it was in [[Generation I]]. The Gym featured {{wp|ancient Roman architecture}}, stately pillars, and an old mural. A predominant brownish color scheme was used to represent the Gym's affiliation with the {{t|Ground}} type. Owing to this, there were also guards resembling ancient Roman soldiers posted outside.

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]]. Eventually, Ash overcame the borrowed Pokémon's power and defeated all of them, causing {{TRT}} 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.

Giovanni abdicating his position as Gym Leader is similar to the case in the Generation I games; however, in the anime, he is still in charge of [[Team Rocket]], while he also disbands the team in the games.
