Route 6

Route 6

The area is much the same as it was three years ago, though the land has shifted slightly, shortening the route. There are only 2 Trainers, as well as a man blocking the entrance to the Cerulean-Vermilion Underground, saying that it's closed until the Power Plant is operational again.

Head through the gate to enter Saffron City.

Saffron City

Spend some time to see the sights before you challenge Sabrina at the Saffron Gym.

Mr. Psychic

Stop by the house in the city's southeast district. The homeowner, Mr. Psychic, will give you TM29 (Psychic).

Silph Co

Silph Co. is open for business, but a security guard blocks access beyond the first floor. He gives you an Up-Grade as a souvenir, one of the company's latest products.

Magnet Train Station

The Magnet Train Station is situated in the city's northwest district, but the train is currently inoperable due to some problem at the Power Plant. Once the electricity has been restored, this high-speed bullet train will run between Johto's Goldenrod and Kanto's Saffron; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Fighting Dojo

Visit the Fighting Dojo in the north, and you can get a Focus Band by the rear wall.

Now you can set your sights on the Saffron Gym.

POKéMON GYM
LEADER: SABRINA
The Master of
Psychic Pokémon!

The Saffron Gym has the same layout that it always has, though Sabrina has three less Gym Trainers than she used to. Follow the trail of warp tiles, and you'll eventually reach the Gym Leader. It seems that she has been waiting for you, having had a vision three years ago of your arrival. Her Alakazam may be the biggest nuisance with its Recover move. Wield a few decent Template:Type2 moves, like Bite, and you'll win your tenth badge.

After her defeat, Sabrina hands over the Marsh Badge. The badge is merely symbolic of your victory over the Saffron Gym, seeing as it doesn't affect your Pokémon's stats.

Leave east from the city to Route 8.

Route 8

Route 8 is a simple route that serves as a link between Saffron City and Lavender Town. Battle past the three bikers (the "Kanto Pokémon Federation") near the gate, and continue on your way east to Lavender Town.
