From the dock, Fly to Viridian City. The old man previously blocking the entrance has moved, and informs you that the Gym Leader has finally returned. Time to earn your final badge!

Once you finish your battles, you will face the Gym Leader... It's Giovanni, Team Rocket's own leader! It seems that after you defeated at '''Silph Co.''', he has returned to Viridian to regroup, and is ready for a rematch with you!

Giovanni will no longer call upon his Kangaskhan, and has decided to focus upon his Ground type Pokemon. Expect to face a difficult battle, as they all know {{bpm|Earthquake}}, and thus will benefit from STAB.
Both Nido's have a decent chance to Poison your Pokemon by their {{bpm|Poison Sting}} move, or through their {{bpa|Poison Point}} ability. Expect a particularly fast Dugtrio that will be particularly annoying with {{bpm|Mud-Slap}}, decreasing your accuracy. Both Rhyhorns are slow but can be a threat if they unleash {{bpm|Rock Blast}} on you.
Water Pokemon will work wonders in this battle. Grass Pokemon will be useful against Dugtrio and both Rhyhorns, but Nidoking and Nidoqueen's Poison type will nullify any advantage that Grass types would usually get.
Once you defeat Giovanni, he will recognize that he still has a lot to learn, and vows to one day return. He awards you the '''Earth Badge''', which makes all Pokemon obey you regardless of level. He also awards you TM26 {{bpm|Earthquake}}, the most powerful Ground move in the game. You have finally completed the Gym Challenges!
==Rival's Duel==
Before you leave, stand on the exact spot where Giovanni once stood, and use Itemfinder. Your final reward for beating Giovanni is the '''Macho Brace''', a held item that will double any EV's that your Pokemon gets from battle, but halves its speed.
Your final challenge awaits: '''The Elite Four!!!''' From Viridian City, head West into Route 22. You'll run into Blue, who is on his way to challenge the Elite Four himself, and decides to test himself against you. Teach him a lesson!

Viridian Gym

Viridian Gym.

The ferry will drop you back where you started, Cinnamon Island. Don't worry, you can always visit the Sevii Islands again by taking the ferry from Vermillion City, at the same port from where the S.S. Anne sailed away.

Now Fly to Viridian City. If you approach the Gym, you'll find out that the old man previously blocking the entrance has moved, and he informs you that the Gym Leader has finally returned. Time to earn your final badge!

Once you enter, you'll see a small maze filled with Gym trainers. If you look closely, in fact you only need to face two of these trainers to face the Gym Leader, one Cool Trainer and a Black Belt both at the top in the room. Despite this, you should really face them all and get all that delicious XP!

Trainers

The trainers here specialize mostly on Ground Pokemon, and will not shy from using Hyper Potions if necessary. Grind them all into dust with a Water or Grass Pokemon!

Gym Leader

Once you finish off the trainers, you will face the Gym Leader... It's Giovanni, the villainous leader of Team Rocket! It seems that after you defeated at Silph Co., he has returned to Viridian City to regroup, and is ready for a rematch with you!

Name 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th

Giovanni will no longer call upon his Kangaskhan, and has decided to focus upon his Ground type Pokemon. Expect to face a difficult battle, as they all know Earthquake, and thus will benefit from STAB.

Both Nido's have a decent chance to Poison your Pokemon by their Poison Sting move, or through their Poison Point ability. Expect a particularly fast Dugtrio that will be particularly annoying with Mud-Slap, decreasing your accuracy. Both Rhyhorns are slow but can be a threat if they unleash Rock Blast on you.

Water Pokemon will work wonders in this battle. Grass Pokemon will be useful against Dugtrio and both Rhyhorns, but Nidoking and Nidoqueen's Poison type will nullify any advantage that Grass types would usually get.

Once you defeat Giovanni, he will recognize that he still has a lot to learn, and vows to one day return. He awards you the Earth Badge, which makes all Pokemon obey you regardless of level. He also awards you TM26 Earthquake, the most powerful Ground move in the game. You have finally completed the Gym Challenges!

Rival's Duel

Before you leave, stand on the exact spot where Giovanni once stood, and use Itemfinder. Your final reward for beating Giovanni is the Macho Brace, a held item that will double any EV's that your Pokemon gets from battle, but halves its speed.

Your final challenge awaits: The Elite Four!!! From Viridian City, head West into Route 22. You'll run into Blue, who is on his way to challenge the Elite Four himself, and decides to test himself against you. Teach him a lesson!
