| You can get a ton of stuff in Viridian Forest! | There are different species of Pokèmon in Viridian Forest, like this Pidgey...which is in the Pokèball. | Wow! Pikachu is actually smiling at its trainer! | Before you battle this Bug Catcher...who has a Level 10 Caterpie, grab the Potion that's in front of him. |
| TRAINER TIPS: Don't catch a stupid Metapod! It can only harden! You should catch a Caterpie who has String Shot and Tackle! |
