Lavender Town

File:Lavendergsc.png
Lavender Town

Lavender Town is still a sleepy town, but a big change that occurred over the last three years was the conversion of Pokémon Tower to the Kanto Radio Tower.

Kanto Radio Tower

The tower security has been on alert ever since the other Radio Tower was infiltrated by Team Rocket, so no one is allowed beyond the ground floor. In order to access Kanto's three radio programs, you'll need to obtain an EXPN Card for the Pokégear. Unfortunately, there's been an incident at the Power Plant, so you won't be able to get the EXPN Card until you investigate.

• 16.5 - Places & People

Hosted by DJ Lily, "Places & People" is a talk show that discusses various locations and Trainers that you've encountered.

• 18.5 - Let's All Sing

Hosted by DJ Fern, "Let's All Sing" plays different music pieces that change depending on the day of the week.

The Pokémon March^SuTuThSa plays upbeat music that increases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon.

The Pokémon Lullaby^MoWeFr plays soothing music that decreases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon.

• 20.0 - Poké Flute Channel

The main use for this channel is to awaken the Snorlax that has fallen asleep near Vermilion City, blocking the southern end of Diglett's Cave.
With the Fuchsia beach littered with boulders, Diglett's Cave is the only other way to reach western Kanto.

Soul House

Soul House

The Soul House was established in order to accommodate the remains of Pokémon transferred from the former Pokémon Tower.
While there are only a handful of graves in the building, most are located in underground chambers that only Mr. Fuji has access to.

Name Rater

The Name Rater is found in the southeast house, and gives Trainers the option to re-name their Pokémon. However, you are unable to re-name Pokémon obtained in a trade.

Go north to Route 10.

Route 10 (South)

File:R10gsc.png
Route 10

Route 10 is a short route with only two Trainers that connects Lavender Town to Rock Tunnel. The Power Plant is located here, but can only be accessed by surfing down the river from the north end of the tunnel. Bring a Pokémon that knows Flash to light up Rock Tunnel, or it won't be easy getting to the exit.

Rock Tunnel

A few rare Pokémon species, once found within the shut-down Safari Zone, now inhabit Rock Tunnel. This is great news for Trainers, since elusive Pokémon like Marowak and Kangaskhan can now be found here.

Power Plant

The old abandoned Power Plant was finally renovated in order to power the region more efficiently (specifically the Magnet Train) and what happens? Some thief swiped an essential part of the new generator, rendering it inoperable. Without this power source, the Magnet Train is forced to shut down indefinitely.

You can also trade Pokémon with one of the workers. The guy is after a Dugtrio, and is willing to trade his Magneton.

When you head for the exit, the first security guard announces that a shady character has spotted loitering near Cerulean City, and asks you to check it out. Head northwest to the rest of Route 9, and Cerulean City.

Route 9 (West)

Fight a few Trainers in the western area of this route and continue west to Cerulean City.
