== Cerulean City ==

[[Cerulean City]] is a peaceful seaside city located in the north-central part of [[Kanto]]. Places of interest include the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]], [[Cerulean Gym]], and [[Cerulean Cave|a mysterious cave]] on the edge of town.

=== A Rare Addition ===

In the house next to the Pokémon Center is a girl who cares for injured Pokémon. She has nursed a {{p|Bulbasaur}} back to health, but now it needs a good Trainer to raise it properly.

=== Gym Badge Man ===

In the northwest house is a man who will explain the effects of the eight [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. The first five 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.

=== Bike Shop ===

=== Something Shady ===

The house behind the Gym is blocked off by a police officer. It seems that [[Team Rocket]] has stolen [[TM28|a valuable item]] from the people living here. Nothing can be done about this now, so set your sights on the Gym.

=== Cerulean Gym ===

The [[Cerulean Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work wonders. This will likely be one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, as you have both {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} on your team. With moves like {{m|ThunderShock}} and {{m|Vine Whip}} at your disposal, you should have little trouble winning your second badge.

== Route 24 ==

As soon as you head for Nugget Bridge, {{ga|Blue|your rival}} appears. He taunts you like usual before challenging you to another battle.

After he runs off, there are sixteen Trainers between [[Cerulean City]] and the [[Cerulean Cape|Sea Cottage]]; luckily you can backtrack to the Pokémon Center to heal up as necessary. When you beat the five Trainers on the bridge, a disguised [[Team Rocket]] Grunt tries to get you to join the organization. He attacks when you decline his offer, but gives up a valuable {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}} when you defeat him.

== Route 25 ==

There are nine more Trainers to fight on your way to the cape. One of them is standing in a line of trees, and you'll need to lure him out with a battle to reach the {{TM|19|Seismic Toss}} lying behind him. {{m|Seismic Toss}} can be helpful against durable Pokémon because it inflicts damage equal to the user's level, regardless of the combatants' {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Defense}}.

=== Sea Cottage ===

The Sea Cottage on [[Cerulean Cape]] belongs to [[Bill]], a famous Pokémon researcher. His latest experiment has gone wrong, and his DNA was combine with that of a Pokémon!  He asks for your help, so when he steps into the machine, activate the program on his PC to return him to normal. As thanks, he gives you an {{key|I|S.S. Ticket}}. This ticket lets you board the [[S.S. Anne|luxury cruiseliner]] that is docked in [[Vermilion City]], which also happens to be the location of the third Gym. Before leaving the cape, re-enter the cottage and check out Bill's PC to view his favorite Pokémon, the [[Eeveelutions|Eevee family]]. This adds {{p|Vaporeon|three}} {{p|Jolteon|new}} {{p|Flareon|pages}} to your Pokédex.

== Cerulean City ==

Back in {{ci|Cerulean}}, you'll see that the officer blocking the burgled house has move out of the way. Inside lie obvious signs of a break-in, including muddy footprints, overturned plants, and a gaping hole in the wall that was used as an escape route. Step through the hole to find the thief.

When he loses, the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}} hands over the stolen [[TM28]] before running off. {{m|Dig}} is useful when in a cave, as it instantly returns you to the entrance.

== Route 5 ==

The tall grass here is home to a few new Pokémon. An {{p|Abra}} is always quick to {{m|teleport}} away, meaning that you'll need to be even faster to prevent that. It's a good idea to have a {{p|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}} it to {{status|sleep}}, or have Pikachu {{status|paralyze}} it with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, before throwing a Poké Ball.

You can't get through the [[gate]] to [[Saffron City]] yet, so take the [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to {{rt|6|Kanto}}. At the north end is a woman who offers to trade her {{p|Machoke}} for your {{p|Cubone}}.

=== Pokémon Daycare ===

The house on the hill is the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. The old man inside will raise one Pokémon at a time for you while you are away. A Pokémon left here will gain one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step you take. If you bought the {{p|Magikarp}} near [[Mt. Moon]], this is a good way to raise it. The downside is that he will make every decision for you; he may delete a move you like, or ignore a new move. He charges {{PDollar}}100, plus another {{PDollar}}100 for every new level, to return a Pokémon.
