There isn't much you can do here yet. The way out to Route 5 is blocked off, and the only way to go right now is Route 24. There is a gym here as well. In one house, you get more information about the badges. If you leave through the backdoor, there is a hidden Rare Candy to the right. The man in the house next door gives you the Powder Jar if you have a berry. There's a very expensive bike in the town, which you won't be able to get yet. Go to the house next to the Pokecentre first. You can trade a Poliwhirl for a Jynx here, so remember to keep a seperate one when you find it - this is the only place to get it. After that, go to the Gym.

This battle is harder than it used to be in RBY. If you started with Bulbasaur, it can sweep through here, and a Pikachu could do the same for the most part. On the other hand, Charmander or Geodude will easily be killed by the water attacks here, so it's best if you don't use them here. Pokemon that don't have super-effective attacks will get you through the first trainers. Misty, however, is much harder. Water Pulse is extremely powerful, and maybe overpowered for this stage of the game, and I recommend at least level 18 for all your Pokemon before starting this battle.

After you defeat Misty, you get the Cascadebadge, which makes Pokemon up to :L30 obey, and allows you to use Cut at any time. You also get the TM for Water Pulse. After that, leave Cerulean City through the Northern path. You will be challenged by your Rival again.

You have fought all of these before, and the battle therefore shouldn't be too difficult. His starter hasn't evolved yet despite its high level, so no need to worry about it too much.

First of all, you will battle a number of trainers here. In the end a man will give you a nugget as a reward, but after you refuse to join Team Rocket, he attacks you too. There is also one trainer in the grass to the west. None of these should be too hard to beat. Try to catch two Abras here so that you can trade one for a Mr Mime later on, although that can be hard, get a Grass Pokemon here if you don't have one (it could also be handy if you go here before beating Misty), they will serve you well for a while. Also get TM45, Attract here.

If you get the Camper to challenge you while he walks away, you can get TM43, Secret Power, without having to use Cut. The Pokemon here are basically the same as on the previous one, so I won't comment on them. Beat the other trainers, and enter the house. You will see a Pokemon standing there, who asks you to help him out to turn him back to human. He goes in the machine. Walk to the computer, and use it, and Bill will walk out. He will then give you the SS Ticket. Return to Cerulean City. You can now go through the house in front of which a policeperson was standing. Battle the rocket standing behind the house.

	Machop :L17 Drowzee :L17
Base Money: 30

His Drowzee can be difficult with the Hypnosis attacks. Try to defeat before your Pokemon is sleeping. After you beat him, you get TM28 Dig. You can't go East to Route 9 yet, so go to..

Route 5 and 6

The only interesting feature of this route is the daycare. For every step you take here, your Pokemon gains one experience point. You will need to pay 100 for every level your Pokemon gains, plus 100 extra. There's no breeding here, yet, but be patient, we'll get to that eventually. I recommend you catch a Meowth here and keep it on your team for a while. It's not that strong, but its Pickup ability can give you lots of extra goodies, and it will be the only Pokemon with it that you'll see for a while. You can't get through the guardhouse, so enter the small house to the site, and follow the path there. Get out on the other end. You can trade a Nidoran M for a Nidoran F here.
