After evolving his Pokemon and obtaining two badges, Red infiltrates the Silph Company, which is occupied by Team Rocket seeking the Master Ball. He rescues imprisoned scientists and Pokemon, receiving a Lapras as thanks, but is defeated by Giovanni’s Nidoqueen before escaping. Red continues his journey, earning additional badges until reaching Viridian City. There, he discovers the final Gym Leader is Giovanni. In their battle, Giovanni’s Rhyhorn defeats most of Red’s team, but Red secures a double knockout with Hitmonlee. Red then uses Charizard to defeat Giovanni’s Rhydon. Impressed by Red’s strength, Giovanni disbands Team Rocket’s operations and awards Red the final badge required to enter the Pokemon League.
