Once you've completed your errand, return to Viridian City and go back to the Poké Mart a second time.  The clerk will now sell you whatever you need now, and you'd be wise to stock up: since you lose half of your money when you run out of usable Pokémon (because they've all Fainted, for example), it doesn't pay to keep a lot of cash on hand.

Ah, and please don't buy Parlyz Heals nor Burn Heals now: they are useless at the moment, as there are no Pokémon able to burn you so far, and you can only be paralyzed by rare Pikachus (In Viridan Forest, Red/Blue). On the other hand, Antidotes may be useful, as Weedle can poison you.

You may wish to buy as many Poké Balls as you can afford (you'll be needing them), some Potions if you're running low (they're only for sale here in the Yellow version) and maybe an Antidote or two to play it safe, since there are plenty of enemies that can poison your Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]].

The building immediately above the Pokémon Center is the Pokémon School.  You can acquire some good tips by reading them off of the blackboard.  There is also a '''Potion''' hidden behind the weird tree in the northwest corner of town.

If you head north, you'll find that the old man who was blocking your path has finally gotten himself together and out of your way.  He will then proceed to give you a lesson on the proper use of Poké Balls.  When he's finished, you can head past him to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]], the area you'll have to cross to get to your next destination. Don't get him too far out of mind, however – you may want to visit him after getting to Cinnabar Island.
