Heading east from [[Pewter City]], [[Player Character|the player]] encounters a small clearing with some natural obstacles that create a fork in the road, forcing travel north or south, of which the south path curves east and leads to a group of {{m|Rock Smash|rocky}} pits ([[Generation IV]] only) and a dead end. In order to progress, the player must turn north and then east along the northern half (which, in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, is packed with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s). At any point, the player can jump the ledges located here to access a middle section of the route between the two ledges. Most of this middle area contains [[item]]s, as well as another Trainer waiting for battle. By hopping a ledge again, the player is able to travel west toward the pits and then north back to the clearing at the start of the route. | ||
East of the second | East of the second section of the ledges, the route curves south and then east near a large patch of [[tall grass]] containing [[wild Pokémon]], which takes up most of the area. This patch, which contains another Trainer, follows the route until it turns north ahead of a hill. (In [[Generation IV]], the player can go through the grass to reach a ledge running along the southern edge of the route.) From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge that leads the route to a large clearing, east again, and finally north, passing a second patch of grass near the end, which has a fence around it as well as a [[signpost]] for directions. (In Generation IV, however, the eastern half of the route only goes south-east and does not bring the player north until the second patch of grass.) | ||
The only obstacles along the remainder of the route are a few ledges on either side, which are easily bypassed as the player proceeds north towards the mysterious [[Mt. Moon]] cave and {{rt|4|Kanto}} beyond. Beside the entrance to the cave is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of only two in [[Kanto]] that is not located in a populated area (the other one is on {{rt|10|Kanto}} at the north entrance to [[Rock Tunnel]]). In Generation III, {{m|Fly}} is able to return the player to this location instantly, but not in any other [[Generation]]s. In the center, a [[Magikarp salesman|man]] attempts to scam Trainers by selling them the laughably common {{p|Magikarp}} for relatively high prices. | |||
