Once you've completed your errand, return to Viridian City. With that done the Poké Mart is back in business. The clerk will sell you whatever you need now as long as you have the money, 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), it doesn't pay to keep a lot of cash on hand.

Don't buy Parlyz Heals nor Burn Heals now: they are useless at the moment; The chances that a Pokémon's attack can burn your Pokémon are very rare in-game, and Paralysis is not likely to occur until somewhere around the third gym. 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 [[../Viridian Forest/]]. If you're low on Potions, don't worry, as there are a lot of them lying around early in the game.
