On the 11th floor, Yellow players will have a skirmish with the laughably weak Jessie and James, and Red/Blue players will have to deal with one more Rocket. Then there's Giovanni... After you busted up his racket in [[../Celadon City/]], Giovanni moved his base to [[../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}} (or {{bp|Persian}}, in the Yellow version) to rescue the Silph Co. President. Once again, a single level 43+ Kadabra can take care of them all.

He's not any tougher than your rival, but you'll definitely need to be in peak condition to stand a chance. 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. Once 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, so be sure to save it for a special occasion (such as {{bp|Mewtwo}}). If your current box in Bill's PC was full when offered the Lapras, or your Bag was full for the Master Ball, the computer desk in this room can be used like a PC in a Pokémon Center to make some room. When you're finished, you can collect the items in the now Rocket-free lower floors.

Walkthrough

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.

Silph Co.

This 11-level 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.

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 5 and get item A, the Card Key. With that, you can open any of the locked doors. Also, one of the potted plants on this floor hides an Elixir. Be wary of the bald guy on this floor--he's the only one 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.

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 your rival awaits.

If you need the experience then fight all the Rockets before heading to Giovanni on the 11th floor as they will disappear after you beat him.

The person next to your rival will give you a Lapras if you have an open spot in your party.

The teleporter right past your rival (P) takes you directly to the 11th floor, but you may want to heal up on the 9th floor before you face Giovanni.

By the time you reach the 9th floor, your team is bound to be a bit worse for the wear. Visit the woman in the lower-left corner of the floor to fully recover your Pokémon's HP and PP. Also, check the foot of the bed to the left of the nurse to find a hidden Max Potion.

A Master Ball

On the 11th floor, Yellow players will have a skirmish with the laughably weak Jessie and James, and Red/Blue players will have to deal with one more Rocket. Then there's Giovanni... After you busted up his racket in Celadon City, Giovanni moved his base to Saffron City. It's too bad for him you arrived in time to short-circuit his new scheme. Defeat Giovanni's Nidorino, Rhyhorn, Nidoqueen, and Kangaskhan (or Persian, in the Yellow version) to rescue the Silph Co. President. Once again, a single level 43+ Kadabra can take care of them all.

He's not any tougher than your rival, but you'll definitely need to be in peak condition to stand a chance. 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. Once 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, so be sure to save it for a special occasion (such as Mewtwo). If your current box in Bill's PC was full when offered the Lapras, or your Bag was full for the Master Ball, the computer desk in this room can be used like a PC in a Pokémon Center to make some room. When you're finished, you can collect the items in the now Rocket-free lower floors.

All roads lead to Fuchsia City

The next destination is 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: Routes 12 through 15, which is south of Lavender Town, and Routes 16 through 18, west of 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 Route 12 to get the Super Rod at some point.

New Pokémon

#131 Lapras
Pokemon 131Lapras.png

Talk to the Silph Co. employee next to your rival after your fight for a well-deserved reward: a Water/Ice-type Lapras. This is the only place you can get one in the game.

Lapras comes at a very low level of 15, making it very impractical to incorporate into your main team. In-game, you will be better served by picking up a Dewgong from Cinnabar or Cloyster from the Seafoam Islands. However, competitively, Lapras's excellent offensive power, ability to learn Thunderbolt, and absolutely incredible overall bulk put it in a class all its own above its fellow Ice/Water brethren. Even if you do not put it in your line up, carefully stash this gem in your box.
