Cerulean City is a peaceful seaside city located on the north-central side of Kanto. As the Bike Shop has moved to Goldenrod City and the mysterious cave on the edge of town has collapsed, the only remaining tourist attraction is the Gym.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Upon entering the Gym, you are nearly run over by a man in a dark uniform. He babbles aimlessly for a minute before running off. Follow him northward to find him on Nugget Bridge.
Defeated, he gives up the location of the Machine Part. He claims that he hid it in the waters of the Cerulean Gym. Search inside the enclosed part of the Gym's walkway to recover the stolen part.
As thanks for recovering the machinery, the manager rewards you with TM07 (Zap Cannon), a powerful but inaccurate move. With the region's power now running smoothly, it is possible to tie up some loose ends.
The Lost Item
Visit the Copycat's house northwest of the Silph Co. building. She asks that you find her Poké Doll that she believes is lost in Vermilion City. Stop by the Fan Club and talk to the man with the "Clefairy" to retrieve the Lost Item. Return it to the girl to receive the Rail Pass, the ticket to board the Magnet Train.
Radio Tower
Stop by the Radio Tower and speak to the manager at the north wall. As the power was turned back on, he never lost his job. He gives you the EXPN Card for your Pokégear as thanks.

Conversely, Route 25 has a multitude of Trainers to fight. When the others are defeated, talk to Cooltrainer Kevin to receive a Nugget, before he battles you as well.

Upon reaching the cape, you find Misty on a date nearby. The guy gets scared off, and Misty starts to yell... until she spots your Johto badges. She tells you to visit the Gym before heading back to town.
Bill's Cottage
Bill's grandfather is housesitting while he is away, and really wants to see a certain species of Pokémon. Show him the correct Pokémon to be rewarded with one of the hard-to-find Evolutionary stones.
CERULEAN GYM POKéMON GYM LEADER: MISTY
The Tomboyish Mermaid
With her time off ruined, Misty has no choice but to return to the Cerulean Gym, which specializes in Water-type Pokémon. As the building features a large swimming pool, this is the only Gym where Pokémon can be hooked on a fishing rod. Grass- and Electric-type attacks will inflict heavy damage to these aquatic opponents, but avoid using Fire-, Ground-, and Rock-type Pokémon.
A wicked Thunderbolt can take out Misty's Golduck and Starmie, but be wary of Starmie's Recover. Her Lapras has additional weaknesses, including Fighting- and Steel-type moves. Her Quagsire is immune to electricity, but suffers massive damage when hit by Grass-type attacks. If Rain Dance takes effect, Water moves will be strengthened while Thunder's accuracy is boosted to 100%.
Defeated, Misty awards you the Cascade Badge to mark your victory.
Route 5
Route 5
The rolling hills of Route 5 make it easy to reach the former Pokémon Day Care building. The old woman inside gives out the Cleanse Tag, which decreases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon when held by your lead party member.
