It turns out that Silph Co. is being forced to produce advanced technology for Team Rocket. You must reach the top floor and free the company president from Giovanni's clutches. If you roust Giovanni, you won't have to defeat the rest of Team Rocket's agents individually. When you need to heal your Pokémon, look for a woman at the bottom-left corner of the ninth floor.
This 11 floor building, with 31 trainer battles, only seems difficult. If you know where to go, you can make it to the top and save the President quickly and easily. Then, after scaring Team Rocket away, you can get the items without opposition. You will need the card to open the door for a warping panel that leads to the Rocket boss. While the warping panels are annoying, the items are well worth it!
The first floor lobby is eerily empty, so just advance to the stairs in the back. Note that the guard blocking the entrance to the building won't stand aside to let you in until you've cleared Pokémon Tower.
Note that the red circles on this map indicate the warp points that connect two teleportation tiles with the same letter to one another. Also, Silph Co. is one of the very few buildings that you can use your running shoes in.
Finally, while it is not recommended, you can skip most fights by following the instructions detailed in the Fifth Floor section.

However, if you want a quick end to this situation, follow the instructions from Fifth Floor so you can grab the '''Card Key''', which will open every electronic door in the building. Then come to the Third Floor, and use warp tile '''O''' to reach the 7th floor, then step on warp tile '''P''' to reach the hallway outside of the president's office.

Don't be confused by all the teleporters: The elevator will take you to any floor you want, and you only need to use one series of teleporters to get to the right part of Floor 11.

First go to Floor 9 take warp tile G to floor 5 and get item A, the '''Card Key'''. With that you can open any of the locked doors. Then head down to level 3, unlock the door in front of the teleporter marked '''O''', and then take that to the 7th floor, where Gary awaits.
First take warp tile G, then come back though the same warp tile, and follow the path to the right and you'll find the '''Card Key'''. With that you can open any of the locked doors! Check the info in Floor 3 to make your way up to the top!
Be wary of the bald guy on this floor--he's the one of the only ones to use Psychic-types Kadabra and Mr. Mime. If there's a Pokémon on your front line with low HP, it'll be knocked out pretty quick, so be sure to put a strong Pokémon on top before entering battle.

Also - you can recieve a level 25 Lapras from the person standing at the other side of the room. It's a very powerful water pokemon, so it's advised you at very least keep it for later stages of the game.

Also, this is where you can receive a level 25 {{bp|Lapras}} from the person standing at the other side of the room. Lapras can be an excellent addition to your team, especially if you did not choose Squirtle as your starter, as it is a very powerful Water/Ice Pokémon.

The teleporter right past Gary (P) takes you directly to the 11th floor, where players will have to deal with two more Rockets before approaching their boss.
Then there's Giovanni, the leader of Rocket. After you busted up his racket in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Celadon City|Celadon City]], Giovanni moved his base to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Saffron City|Saffron City]]. It's too bad for him you arrived in time to short-circuit his new scheme. Defeat Giovanni's {{bp|Nidorino}}, {{bp|Rhyhorn}}, {{bp|Nidoqueen}}, and {{bp|Kangaskhan}} to rescue the Silph Co. president.
He's not any tougher than Gary, but you'll definitely need to be in peak condition to stand a chance. Before engaging Giovanni, use Dig to warp back to the Pokémon Center, or retrace your steps and take the elevator up to floor 9, where the girl will heal you.
===Items===
* Max Potion (Hidden in the room to the right of the beds, in a space beside the boxes)
* Calcium (Hidden in a room on top of the one containing the boxes, in the plant on the right)
Giovanni is tough, but easily beatable if you make use of type advantages. Nidorino is weak to ground, so dig will make quick work of him here. Rhyhorn is a ground/rock type, so metal claw or water moves work well here. Use a high power attack on Kangaskhan that KOs it in one or two hits. Nidoqueen is a poison/ground Pokemon that is weak against water, ground, psychic, and ice.
After deafeating Giovanni, if you need to, use the PC in the corner. Store and then withdraw a Pokemon to completely heal it. Head back the way you came to the room your battled your rival in and talk to the worker. He'll give you a level 25 Lapras, a water/ice Pokemon that's one of the strongest in the game.
===Items===
* Carbos (In the southwestern room, unlocked after obtaining the Card Key)
* Rare Candy (In the southwestern room, unlocked after obtaining the Card Key)
* Ultra Ball (In the southwestern room, unlocked after obtaining the Card Key)
* HP Up (Hidden in the northeast room's plant)
When you've sent Giovanni running, the president of Silph Co. will be ecstatic that you interrupted his "meeting" with Giovanni. To reward you for breaking Team Rocket's hold on his company, he'll hook you up with the incredible '''Master Ball'''. This technological wonder will catch any Pokémon without fail,but this is the only one you'll get in the entire game, so be sure to save it for a special occasion (such as the [[bp:Legendary beasts|Legendary beasts]]). When you're finished, you can collect the items in the now Rocket-free lower floors.

The next destination is [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Fuchsia City|Fuchsia City]], where you can finally get '''HM 03''' (Surf) and '''HM 04''' (Strength), the last items needed on your quest. There are two major routes you can take: [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 12-13|Routes #12 through #15]], which is south of [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Lavender Town|Lavender]], and [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 16-18|Routes #16 through #18]], west of [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Celadon City|Celadon City]]. The latter path is quicker (and you can pick up '''HM 02''', Fly, on the way!), so it is covered first. But you'll need to take [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 12-13|Route #12]] to get the '''Super Rod''' at some point.
