Pokemon: Leaf Green - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pokemon: Leaf Green - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
This rival battle can be fought a numerous amount of times, so feel free to
do so for EXP and money. Head back to Viridian City and heal. I would save
after your done healing, in case something comes up. Now head up north to
Route 2.
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

| Pokemon Name | FireRed | LeafGreen | Items on Route 2 |_________________
>-------------+----------+-----------<`-------------------| None |
| Pidgey | Common | Common | '-----------------'
| Rattata | Common | Common |
| Weedle | Rare | Rare |
| Caterpie | Rare | Rare |
'--------------'----------'------------'
Nothing new or of interest in Route 2. There is some more Weedles and
Caterpies in this route too but they are very hard to find. They much easier
to find in Viridian Forets up ahead, so catch one there if you want.
You will also see some Pokeball shaped items on the road, like the potion you
got at Viridian City. You can't them yet because they are in a area unaccesable
at the moment, so ignore them for now. You'll get them later so continue
north. Once you reach a gatehouse, head in and talk to the people for little
info. Keep heading up and go through the door.
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Viridian Forest - | |
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
.--------------,----------,------------.-----------------------.
| Pokemon Name | FireRed | LeafGreen | Items: Virdian Forest |______________
>-------------+----------+-----------<`-----------------------| Pokeball |
| Weedle | Common | Uncommon | | Potion |
| Caterpie | Uncommon | Common | | Antidote |
| Metapod | Rare | Uncommon | '--------------'
| Kakuna | Uncommon | Rare |
| Pikachu | Rare | Rare |
'--------------'----------'------------'
In this area, catch the caterpillars and Pikachu if you're lucky enough to
find one. If you have Charmander or Squirtle, catching Pikachu is a must.
Kakuna and Metapod are perfect training posts for weak Pokemon. They usually
come in Level 5 and can't attack. Since they are an evolved form, you can
bring up some serious exp. Train your new Weedle/Caterpie here too, but not
both.
I told you the caterpie and weedle are easier to catch here. This forest is
very puzzle liked, meaning this is your first one of the game. Lucky for you
that this is very puzzling or hard at all, you could pretty much guide
yourself threw it. If you just want a turn-for-turn path walkthrough of the
whole thing, here it is: (this will not include the trainers) From the
beginning, go right, up, right, up, left, up, left, down, left, up, left,
down, left, and up.
Following this path you will find 3 trainers in total. The first two will
close to each other and can be avoided. I would really encourage you to fight
all the trainers in the game for EXP. obviously and completion. Meaning if
you want to "Pass the game", you would have to beat all the trainers in the
game. They are simple really and only have pokemon levels 6 to 7 and are
easily defeated by any pokemon. Battle them. Now. the last trainer cannot be
avoided by any means. He is harder than the last two trainer, but nothing you
can't handle. He has a level 9 Weedle, which poisons your pokemon. This is
one of the reasons I told you to buy some Antidotes.
If you didn't buy not one antidote, you can still get one here in the forest.
To get it go from the 2nd Trainer, go Left and up. There is also some other
items you might consider picking up. To get the pokeball, from the beginning,
go left, up and left again. From the 3rd trainer, go down, right, and down to
get the potion here. That's all the items available here.
Now before you leave, you should have a temporary 5 pokemon team or a team
that is good at this point. To show you a good team to have at this point,
I will post up teams I think are good for each starter, just to give you an
idea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulbasaur Lineup:
=---------------=
Level 10 Butterfree
Level 08 Pidgey
Level 08 Pikachu
Level 10 Nidoran (M/F)
Level 12 Bulbasaur
Squirtle Lineup:
=--------------=
Level 08 Pikachu
Level 10 Butterfree
Level 10 Nidoran (M/F)
Level 08 Pidgey
Level 12 Squirtle
Charmander Lineup:
=----------------=
Level 12 Mankey
Level 10 Butterfree
Level 10 Nidoran (M)
Level 08 Pikachu
Level 14 Charmander
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are lineup examples of how your team should look like depending on your
starter. These are my teams I had with each starter. Anyways exit Viridian
City into another gatehouse. Head outside of that and you'll be in Route 2
again. Same pokemon and same route. Tired much? If you are or not go north up
to Pewter City.
O============================================================================O
| --- 6.03 Pewter City --- (0603) |
O============================================================================O
.----------------------------. There are some new items on sale now. An escape
| Pewter City Pokemart | rope allows you to instantly warp outside of a
>--------------------------< cave, dungeon, etc. I would suggest you pick up
| Pokeball...............200 | one. An Awakening is a item that cures the
| Potion.................300 | sleep condition pick up 2 or so. Stock up on
| Escape Rope............550 | some pokeballs and a potion or two if you could
| Antidote...............100 | afford it. You'll need it later, trust me.
| Paralyze Heal..........200 | Don't pick up Paralyze heals or burn heals
| Burn Heal..............250 | since you already have some from last time,
| Awakening..............200 | right? That's about it, exit the Pokemart.
'----------------------------'
Another thing you definately do every time you head into a new town will be
healing your pokemon at the pokemon center. Heal your pokemon, you'll see a
reporter standing around the PC. Just answer it if you want, It won't really
matter at all. If you head west of the pokemart, you'll see a dude there and
if you try to keep going he'll stop you ask you a question. If you answer yes
he'll leave you alone and if you answer no, he will take you to the pewter city
gym.
There is a museum on the top of the city but it's a waste of money really,
there just a bunch of junk about space and astronomy. It will get interesting
later... so just wait. Exit if you entered that place and head to the Pewter
city Gym in the Middle-left of town. Save before you head in.

-| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-
| | - PEWTER CITY GYM - | |
-|_|----------------------------------------------------------------------|_|-
Once you enter the gym, you'll see the man standing there. Talk to him for some
advice. Not real advive really, he just says what type the gym uses and there
weaknesses. Keep heading north and you'll see a gym trainer with a Level 10
Geodude and level 11 Sandshrew. You could skip around or battle him for EXP.
it won't matter. After reaching the top of the gym, you'll see Brock, the
Pewter City Gym leader!
____________________________________
/ PEWTER CITY GYM Reward: TM 39 \________________,----------------------.
| Gym Leader: Brock ( Winning Money: 1386 |
|------------------------------------.----------------`----------------------|
| His Pokemon: Geodude Lv. 12 | My Pokemon: Charmander Lv. 14 |
| Onix Lv. 14 | Mankey Lv. 13 |
| | Nidoran (M) Lv. 13 |
>-----------------------------------'--------------------------------------<
| |
| Being your first gym leader, Brock can be pretty challenging. However, it |
| is really not your level or stats that determine whether or not you win |
| this battle, but mainly the type of pokemon you chose in the beginning. |
| Bulbasaur and Sqirtle people have it easy. Just use your main elemental |
| attack (Vine Whip, Bubble, etc.) For the Charmander trainers, this is |
| definitely not your place.
|
| All of your attacks right now suck against rock types, (with the exception |
| of metal claw, if you have it), so you will definitely have to rely on some|
| other pokemon to do your fighting for you. There are three ways to approach|
| this. One is to get another pokemon. If you read other guides, most will |
| tell you to use a Butterfree and its confusion attack. This works, but |
| isn't the best way. I personally recommend a Mankey, which is a fighting |
| type. Train it up to at least level 12-14 and take on Brock. That's why one|
| is on my team. If you're too lazy to, or just don't want to invest time in |
| a pokemon you don't even like, you can try to use your starter. If you |
| decide to do this, you must have a Charmeleon (level 16), and you must use |
| metal claw. If you evolve your Charmander you will have a much better |
| chance. The only con to this method is the fact that Onix has a godly |
| defense (in this stage). Metal claw used by a level 16 Charmeleon will do |
| about 1/4 to 1/3 damage to Onix's total HP. |
| |
| You only need to watch out for Rock Tomb, which lowers speed and is super- |
| effective. Brock will use a potion if needed, and you should too. Don't feel
| bad if you got killed a couple of times before finally beating him; he's |
| pretty hard for a first gym. (Unless you're using Squirtle of Bulbasaur. |
| If you lose with them, you're a moron.) You will recive 1386 money for |
| winning. |
| |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After listening to the cool gym leader music, head out. Heal and prepare to
ascend Mount Moon. Make sure you're equipped with items (especially Pokeballs)
as there won't be a shop for a while.
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Route 3 - | |
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
.--------------,----------,------------.-----------------------.
| Pokemon Name | FireRed | LeafGreen | Items on Routes 3 & 4 |______________
>-------------+----------+-----------<`-----------------------| None |
| Pidgey | Common | Common | '--------------'
| Spearow | Common | Common |
| Mankey | Uncommon | Uncommon |
| Nidoran (M) | Unnommon | None |
| Nidoran (F) | None | Uncommon |
| Jigglypuff | Rare | Rare |
'--------------'----------'------------'
There's some new Pokemon here. For those of you who didn't catch Spearow
before, now's your chance. Another Pokemon of interest are the Nidoran and
Jigglypuff. Be sure to at least land a Nidoran Female for breeding, but if
you're playing Fire Red and can't stand to search so long, grab a male one
since IMO, that one's better anyway. Jigglypuff aren't that great but you need
it for your Pokedex. This is the only place to find it so grab it before
moving along. This is a horrible place to train Grass and Bug Pogleys so move
your butt out of there if you plan to train Bulbasaur(Ivysaur?) and your bugs.
Some'll come at low levels, so be careful not to faint them.
Here you might begin to find pokemon with Berries attached as items. If you
take a berry off of a pokemon, you will also get the Berry Pouch Key Item,
which works in a similar fashion to th TM Case you got from Brock.
Route 3 leads directly to Mt. Moon. At the entrance to the route, you'll run
into Prof. Oak's Aide, who will give you the invaluable Running Shoes. Now
you'll be able to move a lot faster by pressing the B Button.
In order to pass to Mt. Moon, you need to do battle with a number of Pokémon
trainers. If you don't want to fight, it's pretty easy to avoid them by
staying out of their line of sight. But remember that you need to build up
experience and level up your Pokémon. Avoiding battles can be a really bad
idea. Keep going till' you reach a new route.
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Route 4 - | |
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
Follow Route 3 to Route 4 and head north to find the Poké Center. It's a good
idea to heal your Pokémon here and save your game as you're about to enter
Mt. Moon. You can also buy a Magikarp from a travelling salesman for 500. Do
you have a lot of cash?
Well, if you do, then go for it. Magikarp is a really common Pokémon and
you'll get the chance to catch tons of them later -- but if you grab one now
and stick it at the top of your party, you'll soon be able to evolve it into
the powerful Gyarados. And yes, you do want one.
Once you grab it, head back outside and go into the nearby cave opening.
It's...

'--------------'----------'------------'
There are three different levels in Mt. Moon, populated by oodles of Zubats
and plenty battle-hungry trainers. Zubat doesn't stand a chance against
Electric attacks (you're probably glad you caught that Pikachu in Viridian
Forest, right?), where as the occasional Geodude or Sandshrew is best taken
out by a Water attack.
Here are the ways to get the items if you don't want to look at the cave
walkthrough below. Potion 1: From the TM, go up and then left. Potion 2: From
the beginning (And until you reach a opening as described), go Up, right, Up,
right, down, and left until you find a item ball. Moon Stone: From the ladder
to the second area, go up and left, in the upper left corner. Escape Rope:
From the Rare Candy, go up. Rare Candy: From the second potion, go right and up.
And HP-Up: From the first trainer, go right, up and right until you find a
ladder to a small cavern. Same as TM 01. That's all the items. If your not sure
still how to get one, look at the cave walkthrough below.
Head north, then wrap around and find the TM09 next to the rock formation. It
contains Bullet Seed. Grab it and move north to battle a trainer. When the
fight concludes, grab the Paralyz Heal nearby. Return to the east and battle
the girl next to the sign. Head north, then turn right and pass the ladder.
Stick to the wall and go southwest to face off with another trainer.
Grab the Potion in the corner and continue on east. You will find a Rare
Candy in the corner. Don't use it yet. Keep it for much, much later. Fight
the Bug Catcher to the left. When the battle is over, go east and then north to
get the Escape Rope. Go west, then north and turn left to go back to the ladder
you passed up initially. It's time to go down. Now follow the narrow tunnel and
go up the next ladder at the end. You'll bump into a Team Rocket member.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Sandshrew, Lv. 11
Rattata, Lv. 11
Zubat, Lv. 11
After you defeat him, pick up the Star Piece on the small rock plateau and
head back to the first floor. Head north from the ladder and wrap around the
rock to the left battle Lass. When the battle with Miriam concludes, go
southwest. Yep, it's another ladder. Go down to find yet another one and take
that one down as well. You battle the second Team Rocket member here.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Zubat, Lv. 11
Ekans, Lv. 11
This room is of course another dead end, but don't leave before you've
grabbed TM46 (Thief) from the rock plateau. Notice that small rock over to
the right? Examine it to find an Ether, then go back to the first floor.
Before you go down the ladder in the northwest corner of Mt. Moon, you have
to defeat two more trainers.
After you beat them, grab the Moon Stone in the northwest corner, then go
down the ladder, following yet another linear tunnel to basement level 2.
Make a right and go down the stairs to meet the third Team Rocket member.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Rattata, Lv. 13
Sandshrew, Lv. 13
After a quick battle, prepare yourself for a long walk around the rock
platform that skirts the central area. As you reach the top, you'll run into
another Grunt.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Rattata, Lv. 13
Zubat, Lv. 13
Keep heading north from the grunt and head towards the fossils. You'll be stopd
by a trainer and will have to battle for the fossils.

| His Pokemon: Grimer Lv. 12 | My Pokemon: Charmeleon Lv. 18 |
| Voltorb Lv. 12 | Mankey Lv. 14 |
| Koffing Lv. 12 | Nidoran (M) Lv. 16 |
| | Pikachu Lv. 16 |
>-----------------------------------'--------------------------------------<
| |
| Nothing you haven't faced or can't handle, really. He has three types in |
| his team. Grimer and Koffing are Poison types and Voltorb is an electric |
| type. You have no attack to easily defeat the poisons so use what you can. |
| The Voltorb can be taken out with a geodude or a pokemon that learn Rock |
| Tomb. Or with your Nido King/Queen if you used the moon stone already, |
| which wasn't good. Defeated him will let you proceed with the game. |
| |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once you're done with his Grimer/Voltorb/Koffing trio, you get to choose one
of two fossils.
The Two Fossils
---------------
Should you pick the Dome Fossil or the Helix Fossil? The choice is yours, but
here's what the fossils will turn into later in the game:
Dome Fossil: Kabuto (#140) -- which evolves into Kabutops (#141)
Helix Fossil: Omanyte (#138) -- evolves into Omastar (#139)
Both are Rock/Water types. Kabuto has higher Attack and Speed ratings,
whereas Omastar has better Defense and Special. It's up to you which one you
take, but Kabutops looks a whole lot cooler... Note that you can only get one
of the two. You can only get the other one by trading with a friend. Move up
and to the left to find a staircase leading to the ladder that goes out. Grab
the Antidote near it, then scale the ladders and exit the cave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Spearow | Common | Common |
| Ekans | Unnommon | None |
| Sandshrew | None | Uncommon |

Route 4 connects Mt. Moon with Cerulean City. It's a pretty empty place.
There are two martial artists on the north end that have two moves to teach
your Pokémon. The left one has Mega Punch and the right one will teach your
Pokémon Mega Kick. Learn both moves if you have the appropriate Pokémon in
your party.
As you move to the east, you'll find the TM05 (Roar) sitting out in the
middle of the path. Grab it and continue east. Pop down the ledges and keep
moving. Soon, you'll reach Cerulean City.
O============================================================================O
| --- 6.04 Cerulean City --- (0604) |
O============================================================================O
.----------------------------. There is one new items on sale now. It is a
| Cerulean City Pokemart | Super Potion, which is very helpful and better.
>--------------------------< How may you ask? Well, it cures 50 HP and not
| Pokeball...............200 | 10 HP. The down side is that it cost 700 yens/
| Potion.................300 | dollars! Alot, so buy some if you can. The rest
| Super Potion...........700 | of the items you've already seen or actually
| Antidote...............100 | bought if you listened to me. If you have, now
| Paralyze Heal..........200 | You won't have to buy them at a high cost. If
| Burn Heal..............250 | you ran out of Pokeballs or Potions, stock up
| Awakening..............200 | on those after your long traveling. Now you
| Escape Rope............550 | could buy a Repel, if you really get pissed off
| Repel..................350 | when pokemon appear, but try to save your cash.
'----------------------------'
The Bike Shop is in the southwestern part of Cerulean City. You can go check
it out - but unfortunately, you can't get your bike yet. The owner of the
shop is asking for a million smackers. Not too shabby... Since you can't
really get that much money (999,999 is the maximum amount you can get), you
need to return later on to get your hands on your very OWN bike.
The house next to the Pokémon Center is home to a Pokémon trader. It's a
pretty good deal, too -- so don't miss out on the trade. Simply bring a
Poliwhirl to the trader and get the rare Jynx in return. I would think you
would have a Poliwhirl at this time or game, but if you do have one, trade!
You can't enter the house in the northeast until later in the game. Team
Rocket has robbed it and a cop is now guarding the door. Once you have met up
with Bill (Route 24/25), you can come back here, go inside and battle a Team
Rocket member. Your prize is TM 28 - Dig, a cool move that not only causes
high damage and shields you from attacks during the first round, but also
lets you escape from dungeons. You can also access Route 9 from here.
Here's another area you won't be able to access until later in the game. Much
later, to be exact. Go to the northwest corner of Cerulean City. See the guy
standing in front of the cave entrance to the left? He is guarding the
entrance to the Unknown Dungeon. Inside, you get the chance to capture the
single most powerful Pokémon in the game. But we'll talk about that later.
After taking a quick tour of the city, head in the pokemon center and heal of
course. Feel free to use the PC if you have to. Exit outside and if your
pokemon are at levels 20 to 21, then go face the gym leader. If your pokemon
area at levels 16 to 19, then head north through a opening in the City.

| Items on the Nugget Bridge |_______________
'-----------------------------| Nugget |
| TM 24 Attract |
'---------------'
To get the Nugget, Beat all six of the nugget bride's gang to get the nugget
from the last guy.
The Nugget bridge is part of Route 24, but I decided to give it ti's own header
because it has quite few important events to notice. Keep heading north a few
steps into the Nugget bridge and your in a battle!

/ RIVAL BATTLE NO. 3 Reward: Fame Checker \___________,---------------------.
| Boss: Rival ( Winning Money: 288 |
|------------------------------------.-----------------`---------------------|
| His Pokemon: Pidgeotto Lv. 17 | My Pokemon: Pikachu Lv. 16 |
| Rattata Lv. 15 | Mankey Lv. 14 |
| Abra Lv. 16 | Nidoran (M) Lv. 16 |
| Starter Lv. 18 | Charmeleon Lv. 18 |
>-----------------------------------'--------------------------------------<
| |
| This battle is a lot harder than any other rival battle before this. |
| Luckily for you, his starter and Abra haven't evolved (though they should |
| have) and it makes it easier for you. You will fight Pidgeotto first, and |
| it will use quick attack 50% of the time. Sand-attack is also annoying. |
| Use Pikachu or Geodude against it. Rattata has a fairly high attack, so |
| have a high-defense pokemon against him. A Mankey would work well. |
| |
| Abra, for now, is a joke. It only knows teleport, and it does absolutely |
| nothing in battle. This is the perfect chance to level up a low -level |
| pokemon. Just pit it against Abra and take your time. Now for the starter. |
| It's really strong, so I hope you have a good anti-starter pokemon. (i.e |
| Pikachu/Raichu works well against Squirtle, Geodude/Graveler against |
| Charmander, and Pidgey/Pidgeotto against Bulbasaur.) Winning will give you |
| 288 Dollars/yens. |
| |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After winning he'll leave and then come bac and give you your reward. You'd
better! He'll give the fame checker. More info on it later. Head to the Center
and heal before you head back to the nugget bridge. Now you can keep going
through the nugget bridge.
Route 24 is a great place to level up your Pokémon. As indicated in the
previous section, it may be someplace you'll want to come before you take on
the Cerulean City Gym--it all depends how much time you've spent leveling up
to this point. Remember, you can always go back to a Pokémon Center to heal
your Pokemon. If you beat the first five trainers on Nugget Bridge, you'll win
a special prize. I'll list the trainers to help you. [In order]
Bug Catcher Cale
----------------
Caterpie, Lv. 11
Weedle, Lv. 10
Metapod, Lv. 10
Kakuna, Lv. 10
Lass Ali
--------
Pidgey, Lv. 12
Oddish, Lv. 12
Bellsprout Lv. 12
Youngster Timmy

Sandshrew, Lv. 14
Ekans, Lv. 14
Lass Reli
---------
Nidoran, Lv. 16
Nidoran, Lv. 16
Camper Ethan
------------
Mankey, Lv. 18
When you beat all of the bridge-dwellers, talk to the sixth guy. He'll give
you the Nugget, then try to convert you to Team Rocket. When you refuse,
he'll fight you.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Ekans, Lv. 15
Zubat, Lv. 15
In the patch of grass to the west of the bridge, there is another trainer.
Head north from Shane to get a TM45 (Attract) atop the platte. Move east to
Route 25.
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

| Pokemon Name | FireRed | LeafGreen | Items on Routes 4 |______________

| Weedle | Common | Rare | '--------------'
| Kakuna | Common | Rare |
| Pidgey | Rare | Rare |
| Oddish | Common | None |
| Bellsprout | None | Common |
'--------------'----------'------------'
Once you have passed the first seven trainers in Route 24, you'll get to make
the acquaintance of nine more in Route 25.
The only thing you need to watch out for is the guy guarding the entrance to
a little section that contains an item (you can see it when you walk along
the northern wall. When you engage this trainer in battle, be sure that
you're a couple of squares below him to lure him away from the entrance.
Only then can you enter and pick up TM43 (Secret Power). If you didn't lure
the trainer away from the entrance, simply come back later once you have
learned Cut.
Bill's House
------------
At the end of Route 25, you will find Bill's house. Well, only that Bill
doesn't quite seem to be himself. Have you seen the movie "The Fly"? Same
thing here. Bill accidentally combined his DNA with a Pokémon's. You can help
him out by using his PC. Once you have restored everything back to normal, he
will give you the S. S. Ticket that gives you access to the cruise ship in
Vermilion City. Before you go back to Cerulean City, leave Bill's house once
and go back in to check out some rare Pokémon on Bill's computer.
Now head back to Cerulean City and heal your Pokemon. Your team levels should
average to levels 18 to 21. If they are, your ready and if your not then train
some more in the grass.
NOTE: If you need one more level and just don't want to train a lot and take
for ever, then you need a Rare Candy that raises a pokemons level by one by
it self. There is 1 here. go to the North-West house on top and go to the
houses backyard. On the right-bottom corner press A around there and you'll
eventually find a rare candy, use it well.
Now head in the gym, and into your Second Kanto badge!
_ _
-| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-
| | - CERULEAN CITY GYM - | |
-|_|----------------------------------------------------------------------|_|-
It's time to get your second badge. Since you should have a decent level
Pikachu by now, you shouldn't have much of a problem taking care of the five
Water type Pokémon you encounter here. Just use Electric or Grass attacks and
you should be done in no time.
In this gym, there isn't much of a puzzle challenge. You can skip all but one
trainer in this gym. Keep heading through and fight the Gym Trainers for EXP.
Once you get to misty, heal up and save. Now your ready for her tomb boyish
look! :p

| His Pokemon: Staryu Lv. 18 | My Pokemon: Charmeleon Lv. 22 |

| These guys are toughies if you don't watch your back. Pikachu should be |
| able to survive and kill these annoying but powerful pokemon. If you chose |
| a grass type, you should have no problem too. She'll be using X Defends, |
| X Speeds, and all those other battle-enhancing things. So watch out. Be |
| careful about her Water Pulse attack. Not only is it powerful, but it |
| confuses too! |
| |
| So if you have grass pokemon, use it to stall to heal your Pikachu if it |
| got hurt. Watches out for her Starmie's recover technique. She'll use that |
| at the last second wasting all of that hard work you've done to hurt her |
| Starmie! Ugly *****... Ah-hem, anyway, if you get lucky with a critical hit|
| and knock out her Starmie! And her whole team! |
| |
| Once you have beaten the her, you receive the Cascade Badge and TM 11 |
| Bubblebeam. The Cascade Badge enables you to successfully train and command|
| Pokémon up to Level 30. You will also be able to use the Cut technique - |
| once you have found HM 01 - Cut and taught it to one of your Pokémon. |
| Misty will also give you TM03 (Water Pulse). Your Done! |

Now go back to Cerulean City and go into the Burglarized House in the northeast
corner of town. Go through and you will fight a Team Rocket member.
Team Rocket Grunt
-----------------
Machop, Lv. 17
Drowzee, Lv. 17
Your prize for defeating this guy is TM28 (Dig), a cool move that not only
causes high damage and shields you from attacks during the first round, but
also lets you escape from dungeons. Once you grab it head south (the path to
Route 9 is blocked by a tree) until you reach Route 5.
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Route 5 - | |
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
Route 5 leads to Saffron City, but it's also the location of the Pokémon Day
Care Center. Same pokemon as Route 24.
You won't be able to go to Saffron City by using the passage house in the
south just yet - the guard says he's really thirsty and won't let you pass.
Later on, after you have given another thirsty guard something to drink, you
will be able to pass here at will.
Day Care Center
---------------
Here, you can drop off Pokémon you don't want in your party, but that you
would like to level up nonetheless. For example, you can leave undesirable
Pokémon you want to evolve just to complete your Pokédex, or you could drop
off your Magikarp and later on come back to collect a Gyarados. Alas, it's
not free. You will be charged 100 for every level your Pokémon gained, but
that's a small price to pay for what you get out of it.
The building to the right is the portal to an underground path to Route 6. At
the entrance, a woman offers to trade a Nidoran Male for a female. Yawn. You
can return later for the trade, or forget about it altogether. The
underground path is littered with items that travelers accidentally dropped.
If you walk by pressing the A button rapidly (think Decathlon), you may just
get lucky and pick up some cool stuff. Head in the Underground path and go
all the way to the end, exit through the stairs and out the door to Route 6.
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Route 6 - | |
--|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
The underground path leads all the way from Route 5 underneath Saffron City
to Route 6. There is another guard house to the north, but you'll encounter
the same problem the first time you get here: the guard's too thirsty and
won't let you pass (hmmmm, that sounds like a legitimate reason, doesn't
it?). So for now, head south into Vermilion City.
The trainers on this route can easily be avoided. If you don't feel like
fighting, just stay out of their line of sight. However, you can't pass the
last two without doing battle.
*NOTE:
If you have Surf, try swimming around the pond in the south of Route 6. This
pond is populated by Psyduck, as well as the occasional Golduck. Remember
though, a Golduck evolved from a high-level Psyduck tends to be much more
powerful than one you caught in the wild
Head south to reach Vermillion City (and the third badge)!

Go to the house in the northwest of this town. Inside, you will meet up with
an old man obsessed with fishing. Although his talk may bore you, you will
receive an Old Rod which you can use to fish for Pokémon. Sadly, it doesn't
catch much - but if you don't own a Magikarp yet, you can easily get your
hands on one now.
