You may want to go straight to Viridian Forest, but don't be too hasty!  [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 1|Route #1]] was full of Pokémon that you can catch anywhere, but the area west of here, [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 2-22|Route #22]], has a few interesting finds, especially in Yellow version. But don't go past the grassy area, or your rival might challenge you to a fight when you're not quite ready. You'll want to have a bunch of good Pokémon before you attempt to challenge the [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]]. Spend the next few minutes tracking some down on [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 2-22|Route #22]]. NOTE that if you can beat your opponent's Pokémon without first purchasing any Poké Balls or catching any of your own first (Which is easy enough if you picked Squirtle, as Bulbasaur only learns Leech Seed, which does not trip your Squirtle's type disadvantage) Prof. Oak will give you 5 free Poké Balls, a great value for a cash-strapped new trainer.

Whether you're trying to catch all of the Pokémon you see or just the ones that you need, you should always be prepared for an encounter with a rare Pokémon.  This means having at least 3 or 4 Poké Balls on you at all times, and at least one low-level Pokémon on your team.
