Appendix:Yellow walkthrough/Section 7

Rock Tunnel

Make sure that you're well-prepared - it's going to be a while until you can reach medical attention. It's a good idea to bring something that can dig, a few Escape Ropes, and a couple of Repels. As exhausting as the tunnel itself is, there are 15 Trainers standing between you and the exit to Lavender Town! The new species found here include the Template:Type2 Machop, and the Rock/Template:Type2 Onix; both are great additions to your ever-growing team.

• 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 you only have to battle four). Get some battle experience, and find the next stairway.

• Three Trainers here, just loop around to the right to find the stairs.

• Another three Trainers line the tunnel here. The stairs to 1F are located in the northwest corner.

• Three Trainers left! Defeat the three 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 of those battles have left you almost $11,000 richer, and it's not over yet! If your team is in trouble, you can walk to the right to avoid the four Trainers outside the tunnel (check the lone tree for a Max Ether). If you battle them or not, set your sights on Lavender Town to the south.

Lavender Town

File:Lavenderrby.PNG

Lavender Town

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

The Name of the Game

The house just above the town's southern exit is home to the Name Rater, a man who judges your Pokémon's nicknames. An odd occupation, but his services are free, so you can change nicknames as often as you'd like.

Abduction

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 Pokémon Tower. There's nothing you can do about it right now, so just keep your eyes open for clues...

Pokémon Tower

File:LiteralGhost rby.png

You can't battle them if you don't know what they are!

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 Template:Type2s. Your rival is on the tower's second floor, but you can put that battle off until later by avoiding the tower for now. Beyond the second floor, you'll start encountering ghosts and possessed Channelers, but without a Silph Scope, you can't climb to the tower's top floor.

Restless Spirits

Most ghosts you'll encounter inside the tower are actually Pokémon in disguise (Gastly, Haunter, and Cubone) that you'll be able to battle or capture once obtaining the Silph Scope. Gastly and Haunter are two of the only three Template:Type2s in the game (the third being Gengar), so it's worthwhile to track some down later. There is one restless spirit in the tower, but since you can't do anything but run from it, it's best to ignore it for now. There are rumors of a Silph Scope prototype in Celadon City, so it's time to head west!

Route 8

Route 8

Celadon City lies to the west, but you've got to get past Saffron City first. You won't be allowed through the guardhouse though, so enter the building to the north and take the Celadon-Lavender Underground that runs west underneath the city. Remember to use your Itemfinder in the tunnel - you never know what people may have dropped. You'll emerge on Route 7.

This tiny route leads straight into Celadon City to the west.
If needed, you can wander around in the tall grass to train your team; your Pokémon should be around Lv 30 before challenging the Celadon Gym.

Now let's check out the big city!
