Cerulean City

Cerulean City

The Bike Shop

Cerulean City is a peaceful seaside city located in the north-central part of Kanto. Places of interest include the Bike Shop, Cerulean Gym, and a mysterious cave on the edge of town. In the house next to the Pokémon Center, an old man is willing to trade his Ice/Psychic-type Jynx to get a Poliwhirl. Poliwhirl can only be found by using a high-end fishing rod, so return later to complete the trade.

Bike Shop

The Bike Shop has bicycles for sale, but the price is a whopping $1,000,000! The player can't carry that much cash, so it seems that he/she is out of luck for now.

Berry Powder man

Visit the Gym Badge man's neighbor to receive the Powder Jar from the old man. This jar is used to collect the Berry Powder that is obtained from the Berry Crush minigame. Collecting lots of powder allows him to prepare many different medicines in exchange.

Gym Badge man

In the northwest house is a man who will explain the effects of the eight Gym Badges. The first seven Badges enable the use of HM moves in the field. Four Badges increase a certain stat during battle, raising each respective skill to 112.5% of the normal value. The four other Badges ensure a Pokémon's obedience during battle.

Badge		Effect	Badge		Effect
	Boulder Badge	Increases Attack; Allows Flash in the field		Cascade Badge	Ensures obedience up to level 30; Allows Cut in the field

	Volcano Badge	Increases Special Attack and Special Defense; Allows Waterfall in the field		Earth Badge	Ensures obedience up to level 100

Burgled house

The house behind the Gym is blocked off by a police officer. It seems that Team Rocket has stolen a valuable item from the people living here. Nothing can be done about this now, so instead head for the Gym.

Cerulean Gym

Cerulean Gym

The Cerulean Gym specializes in Water-type Pokémon, so Grass- and Electric-type attacks will work wonders. Trainers who chose Charmander may have a rough time here, so it may be necessary to venture off to Route 24 or Route 25 to catch an Oddish^FR or a Bellsprout^LG to help out. Take out Misty's Staryu as quickly as possible in order to move on to her Starmie. Her purple starfish is both stronger and faster than Staryu, making its Water Pulse especially painful. Trainers who chose Squirtle would do well to raise it to level 18, as its Bite move will inflict serious damage on the part-Psychic Starmie.

Defeated, Misty awards the player the Cascade Badge, which ensures a Pokémon's obedience up to level 30. It also enables the use of Cut in the field. Misty also hands over TM03 (Water Pulse) as a prize.

Rest up and head north to Route 24. As soon as the player heads for Route 24, Blue appears. He taunts his rival like usual before challenging the player to another battle. His Pidgeotto is more a nuisance than a threat, though Bulbasaur is vulnerable to its Gust attack. Abra, with Teleport—which fails during Trainer battles—as its only move, is nothing more than a punching bag for the player's weaker Pokémon. His starter Pokémon has learned a damaging elemental attack, so the player should avoid pitting his/her own starter against it.

After the battle, Blue hands over the Fame Checker. This item records miscellaneous information about notable figures, including Professor Oak, the eight Gym Leaders, and the Elite Four. This info is primarily found in the Pokémon Journals located in most Pokémon Centers.

Route 24

Route 24

Route 24 is a narrow route that connects Cerulean City to Route 25. Nugget Bridge is located here, and is always packed with Trainers. There are sixteen Trainers between Cerulean City and the Sea Cottage; luckily it is possible to return to the Pokémon Center and heal up as necessary. Upon defeating the five Trainers on the bridge, a disguised Team Rocket Grunt tries to get the player to join the organization. He attacks when his offer is declined, but gives up a valuable Nugget when defeated.

A patch of tall grass is located near the north end of the bridge. In addition to Camper Shane, wild Abra can also be found here. Collect TM45 (Attract) on the hill to the north, then head east to Route 25.
