Gathering all eight Kanto badges will make Prof. Oak open the way to Mt. Silver, which is west of the Pokémon League Reception Gate.

Red, the main character in the first generation Pokémon games, awaits in Mt. Silver.

He’s the strongest opponent by far. Consider farming some EXP and strengthening your team’s stats before facing him and his team of Lv.73-Lv.81 Pokémon.
