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. | The Viridian Gym was originally led by {{an|Giovanni}}, as it was in [[Generation I]].

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. | Ash challenged the Gym soon after.
