'''Route 9''' is an east-west route located east of [[Cerulean City]] in northeast [[Kanto]]. It is one of the few routes in the Pokémon world that is not easily accessible at one of its termini. To reach Route 9 from Cerulean, trainers must either use {{m|Cut}} to remove a tree at the southern extent of the city to reach a pathway that links {{rt|5}} to Route 9 or travel through a burglarized house to reach the same pathway. Either way, Route 9 is separated from Cerulean by a {{m|Cut}}-able tree at its western terminus. Its eastern terminus is at {{rt|10}} north of the [[Power Plant]].

Heading east from Cerulean, the route quickly utilizes the rocky terrain of the area, hopping down a ledge and passing a trainer, making this portion of the route a one way, eastbound only passage. Turning east, the route passes an opening to the south that leads to another trainer and {{TM|30|Teleport}} in [[Generation I]], or {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}} in [[Generation III]]. Moving away from the passage, Route 9 comes to a four-way intersection. To the north is the one way, westbound only passage that returns to Cerulean and is occupied by two trainers and a grassy area containing [[wild Pokémon]]. To the south is a long passage that ultimately results in a dead end, containing one trainer and a [[Burn Heal]] in Generation III. The main path of Route 9 takes the east fork.

To the east of two hills connected by ledges, the route turns north into the path of another trainer. The route also comes to a three-way intersection here, with a fork to the west leading to yet another trainer and a small patch of grass. Route 9 continues northward, turning east, passing another trainer and turning south to the northeast of another small hill. After hopping another ledge that makes the passage east of the four-way intersection a one way, eastbound only path (and which utilizes the dead end passage, which is bordered to its north by a ledge for most of its length, as the westbound only path), the path crosses ways with another trainer as it turns east.

Just east of the trainer is a pair of ledges that allow trainers heading west from the [[Rock Tunnel]] to reach the four-way intersection that ultimately leads to Cerulean. Farther east, the route comes to an end at the western extent of a large grassy area, at which the path becomes Route 10.

In [[Generation I]], to get to [[Lavender Town]] and [[Celadon City]], the main character would have to travel the length of the route to reach the [[Rock Tunnel]] on {{rt|10}}.

Only few cosmetic changes are present between Generations I and II. The normal tree on the side of the [[Cut (move)|cuttable tree]] in the west of the route is changed to a fence and the same kind of tree south of the nearly [[tall grass]] is changed to a rock. Some hills are more big, and all of them are made more tall in FireRed and LeafGreen, adding another more above. Also, the flowers in the west entrance are replaced by trees.

In [[Generation II]], the route was shortened by roughly 30%, and the corner between it and [[Route 10]] belonged to it instead of belonging to Route 10 as it does in Generation I and III, making the north entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]] placed practically in this route by three steps. Interestly, the only way to enter the cave is entering [[Route 10]] as the half of the [[Pokémon Center]] bloks the way. Also, all items were removed from the route and the number of trainers was reduced to six. However, five of the six remained in positions occupied by trainers in the other [[Generation]]s.

Many changes are made in this route. The cuttable tree is removed, the tall grass in the west side is sigthly moved to the south, the shape of the same grass is also different, the [[ledge]] north of the [[signpost]] is removed, as a new ledge is added near the center grass, and a hill is added to the route to give it a more in-depth feel. South of the east tall grass, a new fence with four cuttable trees is added replacing the ledge north of the Poké Center, one these trees making not necesary to pass through the grass. Like in Gold, Silver and Crystal, the corner between it and Route 10 belonged to this route, however, this time the Rock Tunnel entrance is not placed in the route.  

For decorative purposes, rocks are added in some hills, as flowers near the Pokémon Center and two more hills in the east river. This river it's not a dead end to the north like in previous generations, this time the water goes north, but it's still impossible advance due to rocks are blocking the way. The west-to-east part of the river is significantly shortened. Also, the trees in the west entrance are replaced by an extension of the south hill.

* In {{game|Yellow}}, close to where the player enters Route 9 from Cerulean City, there is a [[Youngster]]. After defeating him he says he will have to start his "100-match winning streak" again; this is implying that this trainer is [[A.J.]] from ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

* The fence with the trees mentioned above is very similar to the tree barricade between the Pokémon Center and the [[Rock Tunnel]] in [[Route 10]] in Generations [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation III|III]].
