A trainer in Violet City will trade you a Bellsprout for one. Alternatively, you can catch Steelix in the Cliff Cave on Route 47 at Lv. 23. Breed with a Ditto, or another Steelix, it will hatch into an Onix with no name, unless you name it yourself. Source: I have the Guidebook.
A trainer in route 23 has a rufflet
To get to Viridian City simply travel south of route 23 and east through route 22. If you are actually stuck in Route 23, as in you can't exit via the south and don't have Fly, you may have encountered an undocumented glitch and sadly will need to restart the game.
AnswerKurt is primarily in Azalea Town, in his house near the Pokemon Centre. However, if it is your first time visiting the area, Kurt can be found in Slowpoke Well, on Route 23.
The earliest one you can catch is in the grass just west of Viridian City, on the way to Victory Road (Route 22). Aside from there, there's Route 3 (between Pewter City and Mt. Moon), Route 4 (between Mt. Moon and Cerulean City), and Route 23 (between the reception gate and Victory Road).
