Viridian City, located in western Kanto, is a relatively small city, though certainly bigger than Pallet Town. The gym here is shut down and has been for a while. It isn't the place to go if you're looking for a badge. In order to leave or enter the city, one has three options. To the north is Route 2 (and along Route 2 is Viridian Forest) to Pewter City. To the south is Route 1, which leads back to Pallet Town. To the west is Route 22, leading to the Indigo Plateau and the Pokémon League.
