After witnessing a [[Television|news broadcast]] about the [[Red Gyarados]] being sighted at the [[Johto]] [[region]]'s [[Lake of Rage]], the {{player}} and their childhood friend {{ga|Barry}} venture out of their [[hometown]] of {{to|Twinleaf}} and to the nearby [[Lake Verity]] to see if they can see one there too. Instead, however, they briefly encounter [[Professor Rowan|Pokémon Professor Rowan]] and his [[Professors' aides|assistant]], {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, as they leave the site and accidentally leave behind Professor Rowan's briefcase. When the player and Barry examine it, they are attacked by a pair of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Starly}}, forcing them to pick a {{i|Poké Ball}} each from inside the briefcase and use the [[starter Pokémon]] within them to fend off the Starly. Later visiting Professor Rowan's laboratory in [[Sandgem Town]], the player and Barry are allowed to keep the Pokémon they used and start their respective [[Pokémon journey]]s with them.

The player first travels to [[Oreburgh City]] and defeats the local [[Gym Leader]] [[Roark]] as their first step on their road to win a [[Badge]] from every [[Sinnoh League]] [[Gym]].

The player later encounters them again in [[Floaroma Town]], where they attempt to take over the [[Valley Windworks]] power plant with the lead of one of the organizations {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Mars]]. After thwarting their schemes, the player travels through [[Eterna Forest]] to reach [[Eterna City]], where they encounter a fellow {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Cynthia]], earn their second Badge, and confront Team Galactic's second Commander, [[Jupiter]], at the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]].
