'''Route 12''' (Japanese: '''１２{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 12'') is a route in eastern [[Kanto]], connecting [[Lavender Town]], {{rt|11|Kanto}}, and {{rt|13|Kanto}}. This route is also known as the '''Silence Bridge''' (Japanese: '''サイレンズブリッジ'''{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} / '''サイレンスブリッジ'''{{sup/4|HGSS}} ''Silence Bridge'') between its southern terminus at {{rt|13|Kanto}} and the gate just south of [[Lavender Town]].

Continuing south, the bridge turns to the southeast just ahead of another island. The home of the younger of the [[Fishing Brothers]] is located on this island. West of his house, the bridge resumes, traveling to the south and east before coming to an end just after an intersection with another segment. This segment carries the route south to a series of intersections. The two westward routes in this area lead to a peninsula containing a forested area accessible only by using {{m|Cut}}. The lone eastward path leads to another fishing pier. Just south of the southern peninsula path, the route briefly turns to the east before returning south.

At the next intersection, the main path of the route continues south while a westward path leads to the only grassy patch on Route 12. Cut is required for access, however.

===Fishing Guru's house===

The younger of the [[Fishing Brothers]] lives on this route. He gives a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} to anyone who expresses a passion for fishing.

In [[Generation III]], if the Fishing Guru is shown a {{p|Magikarp}}, he will calculate its size and give the player a {{ball|Net}} if it is bigger than the largest one he had seen before.

A sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} is often found blocking the intersection between Routes 11 and 12. To move it, a [[Poké Flute]] is required. Also, in [[Generation III]], {{TM|16|Pay Day}} was replaced with {{TM|48|Skill Swap}}, and after the Fishing Guru's younger brother gives the player a Super Rod, he will give away a {{Ball|Net}} if he is shown a Magikarp of a certain size.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Generation IV#Snorlax|Snorlax from Route 11]] is knocked out by the player, it will reappear outside of the Route 12 gate after the player defeats the {{jo|Elite Four}}.

[[File:Battle Dome anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Dome, possibly located on this route. Note the body of water lying behind the facility, possibly the ocean to the east of the route.]]

===In the main series===

Route 12 may have been featured briefly at the start of ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics]]'', since the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} is stated to lie just to the south of [[Lavender Town]], and the Dome appears to be situated at the edge of a large body of water.

===In Pokémon Origins===

Route 12 made a brief appearance in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} obtained the {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} from the {{DL|Fishing Brothers|Silence Bridge Fishing Guru}}.

[[File:Kanto Route 12 Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Route 12 in Pokémon Adventures]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Route 12 debuted in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You're Snorlax!]]'', where a [[Bicycle|bike]] race was taking place through the route, but a [[Snor]]lax was blocking the road. A {{tc|Swimmer}} and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} had already tried to make it move, but failed. {{adv|Red}} eventually figured out a solution by using the [[honey]] that had fallen from a {{p|Beedrill}} hive onto [[Saur]]'s head as a bait to get Snorlax to wake up and move. The plan worked, but it also caused Snorlax to follow Red all the way to the finish line, where he eventually caught it.
