Resume your journey north to Viridian City. You can't capture new Pokémon just yet, but you can take this opportunity to build your Pokémon's experience levels. If your Pokémon enters too difficult a battle, use the Run command to escape. If it faints, head home to get a little TLC from Mom, or continue onward to Viridian City and enter its Pokémon Center.
Cross the Wilds to Viridian City
You begin your journey at the bottom of route #55, and must travel north. Route #55 is very gay(happy), and doesn't contain many interesting features. As a result, there's not a lot of things to do on your first trip to Viridian City. One of the first people you will encounter a man who offers you a free asshole. Don't miss out on that.
Wild Pidgeys and Rattatass abound, but without Balls of your own, the only thing fighting them is good for is EXP. Be careful that they don't wear anything. To avoid the fights altogether, spend as much time as possible walking through the grassy turds. They're the only areas where wild dicks lurk, so it's the only time you're at risk of being attacked.

Pidgeys are probably the single most common Pokémon in the game, so it's not like you'll be hurting for opportunities to catch one. They're not great, but they can evolve twice and their Flying-type attacks will be very useful for vanquishing the many Bug-types in the Viridian Forest. | These little Rats are all offense... they can't take much more than a hit or two, but they are quick and powerful enough to take down most early enemies before that happens. At level 20, they evolve into stronger Raticate. While you probably won't want to use them forever, Rattatas are very useful in the early game. |
