Rock Tunnel

Rock Tunnel, 1F

Rock Tunnel, B1F

Rest up, because the nearest Poké Center is located in Lavender Town, on the other end of Rock Tunnel. It's a good idea to bring a few Escape Rope and a Pokémon that can dig, both of which make for a quick retreat if a Trainer's team gets into trouble. A few Repels wouldn't hurt either. It is also recommended to bring a Pokémon that can illuminate the dark passageways. Be aware that there are 15 Trainers waiting to battle in the darkness.

The area near the entrance is pretty linear, so beat the PokéManiac and take the stairs down to B1F.

This section has five Trainers (though the last is optional). Get some battle experience, and find the next stairway.

1F

Three Trainers here, walk around to the right to find the stairs.

B1F

Another three Trainers line the tunnel here. There is a Trainer in the southwest corner who will teach one of your Pokémon Rock Slide. The stairs to 1F are located in the northwest corner.

1F

Three Trainers left. Defeat the trio of Jr. Trainers, and look for the exit to the south.

Route 10 (south side)

Finally, fresh air and sunlight! As grueling as it may have been, all that battling was worth about $11000, and it's not over yet. If medical attention is an issue, walk to the right to avoid the four Trainers loitering outside the tunnel. Proceed south to enter Lavender Town.

Seeker by their names, when alerted for a rematch using the item, may use higher-level Pokémon.

Lavender Town

Lavender Town

Lavender is a tiny town, but it does have a few notable buildings. The Poké Mart in the southeast sells some handy new items, including Revives (which restores a fainted Pokémon to 1/2-health) and Great Balls (an upgrade of the traditional Poké Ball).

The Name Rater

The house near the town's southern exit is home to the Name Rater, a man who judges the nicknames that Trainers give to their Pokémon. An odd occupation, but his services are free, so Trainers are free to change their Pokémon's nicknames as often as they would like.

Abduction!

Kindly old Mr. Fuji, head of the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, has gone missing. His disappearance may have some connection to the recent paranormal activity occurring in the nearby Pokémon Tower. There's nothing to do about it right now, but keep an eye out for clues...

Pokémon Tower

Pokémon Tower, where departed Pokémon are laid to rest, appears to be the source of the town's problems. Having a connection to the spirit world, most wild Pokémon found inside are Ghost-types. The rival is on the tower's second floor, but Trainers can put off that battle until later by avoiding the tower for right now. The spirit world's influence strengthens beyond the second floor, where ghosts and possessed Channelers are commonplace, but without a Silph Scope, Trainers are unable to climb to the tower's top floor.

Restless Spirits

Most ghosts inside the tower are actual Pokémon in disguise that can be battled or captured once obtaining the Silph Scope. Gastly and Haunter are two of the only three Ghost-types native to the region (the third being Gengar), so it's worthwhile to track them down. The one true spirit in the tower blocks access to the final floor, but since Trainers cannot hope to battle it yet, it's best to ignore it for now. There are rumors of a Silph Scope prototype in Celadon City, so pack up and head west.

Route 8

Route 8

Celadon City lies to the west, but Saffron City stands in the way. Cut down one of the trees here to reach the patch of tall grass, where a new Fire-type can be found. There is also a berry hidden in one of the tall grass. No one is currently allowed through the gate, so enter the house to the north and take the Lavender-Celadon Underground that runs west underneath Saffron. Remember to use the Itemfinder in the tunnel to search for lost valuables. The tunnel emerges on Route 7.

This tiny route leads straight into Celadon City in the west. The tall grass here is ideal for a Trainer to raise their Pokémon (which should be at least Lv 30 before challenging the Celadon Gym). Now let's check out the big city.
