Time for a Trade

Visit the house next to the Pokémon Center to find an old man who would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Jynx in exchange for a Poliwhirl. Poliwhirl can only be found by using a high-level fishing rod.

Gym Badges, Explained

The northwest house belongs to a man who offers to explains the effects of the eight Gym Badges. Half of them give a slight power boost to a respective stat, while the other half ensure a Pokémon's obedience during battle. The first five unlock the use of field moves.

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
	Thunder Badge	Increases Defense, Allows Fly in the field		Rainbow Badge	Ensures obedience up to level 50, Allows Strength in the field
	Soul Badge	Increases Speed, Allows Surf in the field		Marsh Badge	Ensures obedience up to level 70

Bike Shop

It would be great to get a Bicycle from the Bike Shop in the southwest part of town, but they cost a whopping $1,000,000! It is not possible to carry that much money, so it looks like you are stuck traveling on foot for now.

Breaking, Entering

The house in the northeast is currently blocked off by a police officer. It seems that Team Rocket has broken into the home and stolen a valuable item from its residents. Nothing can be done to remedy this at the moment, so set your sights on the Gym instead.

Cerulean Gym

Cerulean Gym

The Cerulean Gym specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Grass- and Electric-type moves are best here, while Fire, Ground, and Rock Pokémon may struggle. Pikachu is a good choice to bring along, and Oddish and Bellsprout can be found on the nearby Route 24.

Take out Misty's Staryu quickly to move on to her Starmie. Her second Pokémon is both stronger and faster than Staryu, making its BubbleBeam especially painful to vulnerable Pokémon. Use Pikachu's ThunderShock, or Grass moves like Vine Whip and Absorb, to deal serious damage and make quick work of it.

After the battle, Misty awards you the Cascade Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 30 and enables the use of Cut in the field. She also gives you TM11 (BubbleBeam) as a prize.

Rival Battle 3

When you head toward Route 24, Blue appears and taunts you as usual before drawing you into another battle. He leads with his Pidgeotto, so start off with Electric- and Rock-type attacks. His Abra is a sitting duck as its only move does not deal any damage, making a good opportunity to earn experience for your lower-leveled Pokémon. Rattata's Quick Attack lets it move first regardless of its Speed and Hyper Fang can inflict a good bit of damage, so try to take it out quickly. His first partner Pokémon is more of a threat now that it has learned a damaging move that matches its type. This same-type attack bonus boosts its power by 50%. Avoid pitting your own first Pokémon against his, or your Pokémon could take serious damage.
