[[File:Cerulean City RBY.png|thumb|300px|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.

 

In the house next to the Pokémon Center, an old man is willing to trade his {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}-type {{p|Jynx}} to get a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Poliwhirl can only be found by using a {{key|I|Super Rod|high-end fishing rod}}, so you will need to return later to complete the trade.

In the northwest house is a man who will explain the effects of the eight {{DL|Badge|Indigo League|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.

The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has bicycles for sale, but the price is a whopping {{pdollar}}1,000,000!  You can't carry that much cash, so it seems that you are out of luck for now.

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.

[[File:Cerulean Gym RBY.png|thumb|Cerulean Gym]]

The [[Cerulean Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work wonders.  Trainers who chose {{p|Charmander}} may have a rough time here, so it may be necessary to venture off to {{rt|24|Kanto}} to catch an {{p|Oddish}}{{sup/1|R}} or {{p|Bellsprout}}{{sup/1|B}} to help out. Take out [[Misty]]'s {{p|Staryu}} as quickly as possible in order to move on to her {{p|Starmie}}. Her purple starfish is both {{stat|Special|stronger}} and {{stat|Speed|faster}} than Staryu, making its {{m|BubbleBeam}} especially painful. Use {{p|Ivysaur}} or Bellsprout's {{m|Vine Whip}} or Oddish's {{m|Absorb}} to make quick work of it.

Defeated, [[Misty]] awards you the {{badge|Cascade}}, which ensures your Pokémon's obedience up to level 30, even those you got in a trade.  It also enables the use of {{m|Cut}} outside of battle.  Misty then presents you with {{TM|11|BubbleBeam}} as a prize.

Rest up and head north to {{rt|24|Kanto}}.

As soon as you head for Nugget Bridge, {{ga|Blue}} appears.  He taunts you like usual before challenging you to another battle.  His {{p|Pidgeotto}} is more a nuisance than a threat, though your {{p|Bulbasaur}} is vulnerable to its {{m|Gust}} attack. {{p|Abra}}, with {{m|Teleport}}—which fails during Trainer battles—as its only move, is nothing more than a punching bag for your weaker Pokémon. {{p|Rattata}}'s {{m|Hyper Fang}} can inflict serious damage, so take it out quickly. His starter Pokémon has learned a damaging elemental attack, so avoid pitting your own starter against it.

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 {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}} 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.

A patch of tall grass is located near the north end of the bridge.  In addition to the Jr. Trainer♂, wild {{p|Abra}} can also be found here.  These Pokémon tend to teleport away as soon as battle begins, so try having a speedy Pokémon put it to {{status|sleep}} to prevent this.  An extra Abra will be useful later on, in a trade for another {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon. Don't miss {{TM|45|Thunder Wave}} on the hill to the north.  {{m|Thunder Wave}} is a non-damaging move that causes {{status|Paralysis}}, a helpful tactic when attempting capture.

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 {{TM|19|Seismic Toss}} lying behind him.  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}}.

[[File:Sea Cottage interior RBY.png|thumb|Inside Bill's house]]

Back in {{ci|Cerulean}}, the officer blocking the burgled house has moved 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 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.

{{rt|5|Kanto}} is a tiny path that connects [[Cerulean City]] to [[Saffron City]]. New Pokémon include {{p|Mankey}}{{sup/1|R}} and {{p|Meowth}}{{sup/1|B}}.  It is impossible to reach Saffron just yet, so instead enter the [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]].  Inside, a woman offers to trade her {{p|Nidoran♀}} for your {{p|Nidoran♂}}.  The tunnel leads to {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

The house on the hill is the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. The old man inside will raise one Pokémon at a time while you are away.  A Pokémon left here will gain one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step taken.  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; 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.
