How Do I Get Past the Front Door Guard at the Silph Company in Pokemon FireRed?

Entering the Silph Co. headquarters in Saffron City in "Pokemon FireRed" is one of the most perplexing challenges in the game because there is no clear indication of how to get past its front door guard. Players will need to collect several items and travel across the map before they can face the legion of enemies that await inside Silph Co. Fortunately, Silph Co. contains many special items and treasures, including the famous Master Ball, for players willing to reach the end and liberate its CEO.
