===============================================================================
 1.  Introduction
===============================================================================

For what seems like an age, Pokemon has been a major franchise and a license to
print money for Nintendo.  Considering the quality of the games has only 
evolved over time, they deserve it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something to keep in mind is that this is a FAQ for Leaf Green ONLY.  It can be
used while playing Fire Red if you want to know where to go or what to do in a
particular dungeon, but due to the many specific Pokemon exclusive to Leaf
Green, if you're playing Fire Red, you'll likely run into wild Pokemon lists
that don't match up with what you're encountering.  So, basically, if you've
got Leaf Green, read on.  If it's Fire Red, read anyway, just don't count on us
for wild Pokemon data.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

===============================================================================
 2. Updates
===============================================================================

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1.00 - Submitting as complete.  Woot.  I (Relle) will be moving on to Baten
Kaitos, so I'll be leaving any future updates to my co-author, BostonFuse51.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.01 - I (BostonFuse51) added in a little update. In this update I added in a 
new section (Secton 1.a) and added in a new credit. I also took out some 
unneeded information in the beginning about myself.  Not much, but an update at 
that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

===============================================================================
 3. Frequently Asked Questions
===============================================================================

For this section I will add in from time to time questions asked to me in e-
mails, and questions that are commonly asked regularly. More on this section is 
soon to come.   

Question: How much does Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green cost?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green costs anyware from 25-35 dollars. (The 
price depends upon the store you are buying from.)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: How do I get into Saffron City?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: It is different in FireRed/Leaf Green. Instead of giving a drink to the 
guards you must go get the tea from the old lady in the first floor of the 
Celadon Mansion.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: How come I can't use Mystery Gift?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: This is different from the Mystery Gift in Gold/Silver/Crystal. Instead 
of getting items and dolls you use this to get tickets for the Islands. 
Nintendo will announce a way to get this soon.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: What is the best way to catch pokemon in the Safari Zone?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: This one is tough. If you throw food at the wild pokemon, its chances 
of staying and not fleeing increase. But doing this also decreases your chance 
of catching the specific wild pokemon. If you throw a rock at the wild pokemon, 
the pokemon's chance of escaping increases. However, its catching ratio will 
slightly increase. So it depends on what your more concerned about. The pokemon 
running away, or you catching the pokemon. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: How can I get Espeon and Umbreon in this game?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Since there is no day or night in this game, you cannot get either of 
them. To do this, trade your Eevee over to Ruby or Sapphire (you must fix the 
network machine first), tame it until it happy enough, then when it is the 
right time, evolve it when you want to (daytime for Espeon and night for 
Umbreon). Then, trade it back.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: Is this game a new game or a remake of an older one? 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Fire Red and Leaf Green are remakes of the original red, blue, and 
green (Japanese) versions. It comes with better graphics, and in my opinion 
much better gameplay. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: Why cant enter Unknown Dungeon and fight the Elite Four again?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: You need to complete the mystery island quest, and repaire the machine
in the first island Pokemon Center.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: Is there any form of duplicating in this game?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: No there is not any duplicating, or cloning in this game. And, if you 
ask me I like it better the no cheat way.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: Can I get Mew or Celebi in this game?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: No, you can not.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: What is the ultimate team?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:  Well, there is no alternate team, but email me at 
bbeltchris92@netscape.net and I'll help you make a team that works for you, and 
also give you some help on movesets.

I got this game, and I was absolutely, positively amazed.  It had the great 
experience of the 8-year-old red, blue and green (Japanese), and blue games 
mixed in with the super spectacular graphics of the newer Ruby, and Sapphire 
versions.  It is truly a clash of two of my favorite games, to make one of the 
best games ever.  Congratulations Nintendo!  

In order to contact me, you could either email me at bbeltchris92@netscape.net,
or you could im me at bbeltchris92.  In order to do this, you must either be
having trouble with the game, and you are seeking my advice, or you are asking
me to post this guide on your website. I will be happy to talk with you. Thank 
you for reading this.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
===============================================================================
 5.  Walkthrough
===============================================================================

First of all, please turn on either your Game Boy Advance, or your Game Boy
Advance SP.  Go go and Ga ga, over the updated graphics with a newer style
beginning of the Pokemon world.  Press the Start Button if you are ready to
begin your Pokemon adventure.

As soon as you press the Start button, you will be sucked into the Pokemon 
world.  The following is quoted from the game until I say it is no longer is 
quoted.   

The various buttons will be explained in the order of their importance.

The Directional Pad.  Availability north, south, east, west.  Description:

Moves the main character.  Also used to choose various data headings.  

The A button.  Description:

Used to confirm a choice, check different things, chat, and scroll text.

The B button.  Description:

Used to exit, cancel a choice, and to control a mode.  

The Start button.  Description: 

Press this button to open the menu.  

The Select/back button.  Description:

Used to shift items and to use a registered item.

The L trigger and The R trigger.  Description:

If you need some help playing the game or on how to do things, press the L, or 
the R trigger.  

In the world that you are about to enter, you will embark on a grand adventure 
with you as the hero.  Speak to people, and check things wherever you go, be it 
towns, roads, or even caves.  Gather information and hints from every source.  
New paths will open to you by helping people in need, overcoming challenges, 
and solving mysteries.  At times, you will be challenged by others, and also be 
attacked by wild creatures.  Be brave, and keep pushing on.  Through your 
adventure we hope that you will interact with all sorts of people and achieve 
personal growth.  That, for now, is our biggest objective.  Press the A button, 
and dare to let your Pokemon adventure begin.  (End of quote).  (Doesn't that 
sound like you are about to go into war, that was soulful!) Press the A button, 
and let's go!  

As soon as you press the A button, this friendly grandfather figure will 
appear.  He'll ramble on, then ask you to fill in your name and gender.  Do so
to make him shut up.  You'll then have to name your main rival of the game.
Immediately after this you are sucked into the game.  

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 5a. Your Journey Begins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you are warped into this new world, you will see that you are in your
official room.  (At the upstairs part of your house).  Go exploring around the
room clicking the A button when you come in contact with something.  The
funniest is probably the TV where it says "Chris played with the NES.  Okay, it
is time to go." (*laughs out loud*)

In order to get going go to the northwest area of your screen.  This, is one of
the many pc's in the game, boot in up by pressing the A button.  It will say
"Chris booted up the pc." "What would you like to do?" On this incoming little
box, the options:

Item Storage
Mailbox
Turn off

Will appear.  Press A on the item storage option.  In the next little box there
are another 3 options.  They are:

Withdraw item
Deposit item
Cancel

Click withdraw item.  On the next page, click the A button on the option 
potion,
and you already have a free potion in your updated bag.  Press the B button
multiple times to exit out of your pc.  Go downstairs, onto the main floor of
your house.  Talk to your mom, and she will seem very depressed that you're
leaving on your journey, but supports you all the way.  (what a cool mom!) She
tells you that professor Oak is looking for you, and the fun starts.

Leave through the south of the house, and of your screen, and get your first
site of this fresh new world.  Start to go north to the opening in the path of
bushes/trees, and professor Oak will abruptly stop you.  He'll ramble again,
then give you a choice of three Pokemon to take with you.

Left 
-------

Bulbasaur
Easy to raise

Advantages: A great combination with a type of grass, and poison.  A sleeper,
and also has an underrated move: razor leaf.  Will be a huge advantage to your
first three gym battles.  (rock, water, and electric.) Grass is super affective
against each.  

Disadvantages
An easy to raise Pokemon, great for beginners.  Is weak to 4/8 gyms throughout 
the game

Right
-------

Charmander
Raise with patience.  

Advantages: Your only available fire Pokemon for a while.  That's basically it 
except for he has probably the best third evolution out of the three starters.

Disadvantages: cant do crap against the first two gyms.  Not a good choice for 
beginners because of the first disadvantage.       

Middle 

-------

Squirtle
One who is worth raising.  

Advantages: The average Pokemon for beginners and veterans.  A great surfer to 
have.  Not many weakness' as a water Pokemon except the biggy with is grass.  

Disadvantages: In my opinion is hard to raise, even though it is worth it in
the end for its ability to surf.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this version, I chose to start off with Bulbasaur because of its advantages 
in the first three gyms, and its Sleep Powder/Razor Leaf combo.  This will be a 
big help to you, and me a little more into the game.  Trust me.  Of course, you
have the freedom to choose any starter that you wish.  All starters are amazing
Pokemon, and any one choice will, im sure, be perfect for your team over all.

Right after you pick, that's right, sadly the wiener now gets to pick his
starter.  Your archrival, will pick the super affective Pokemon to you.  So in
simpler terms.  Your rival will pick:

Your pick                    His pick

Bulbasaur                    Charmander 
Sqirtle                      Bulbasaur
Charmander                   Sqirtle

After picking your starter, and typically the leader of your team, or party
however you like to refer to them, start walking south, towards the exit of the
Pokemon lab.

But wait just one minute!  Your Rival comes storming down like he's already a
Pokemon Master, and will challenge you to an ever-famous Pokemon battle!  You
really have no say in your choice, because it automatically draws you into the
battle.

In every battle, at the beginning of it, look at the opening.  For this battle,
the opening is "Rival Riku would like to battle." This may sound a bit corny,
but it is really a great way to learn more about the trainer you are about to
face, and what type of trainer he or she may be.

In this battle, they changed the older version, and gave you a tutorial about
battling with your Pokemon.  I'll give you the tutorial as a quote on quote
because this is a key essential to your Pokemon journey.

In the battle the new help system will be introduced to you, first hand.  This 
explains that when you are stuck at some specific spot in the game, click the 
L, or the R trigger.  Here you have all the help options imaginable, and you 
can basically get information, or find out about anything in the game.  

Here we go.  The four options displayed to you are Fight, Bag, Pokemon, and 
Run.  Well, in this situation, of course, you want to choose the fight option.  
Select it, and you will see two attack options.  Regardless of your starter, 
just use the first attack in the menu over and over to win.  Beating this 
fairly easy opponent will earn you enough experience points to grow one level.  

After the fun battle, you will earn $80 for your great batting.  And your Rival
exits the room.  Dun...dun...dun.  Now you are free to go, and start your
Pokemon adventure.  Exit the lab, and let's go!  Head north, out of Pallet 
Town.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 5b. To the First Badge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Route 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you are free to leave the confines of Pallet town, start heading north
out of the city, and into route one.  In the game there are special areas, like
Mt.Moon, and Diglet's cave.  There are also many cities, and towns in the game.
The last area, are routes.  Routes are places in between towns, and special 
areas.  This is the first route in the way of your journey.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokemon common on route 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pidgey Lv's 2-4 

A Pokemon with a great 3rd evolutional stage

Advantages: Pidgey is one of the first Pokemon you will encounter on your
adventure.  It is a flying Pokemon, which will be a benefit in the later part 
of the game.  Can get some great attacks later on.  

Disadvantages: You can't catch Pokemon yet.  Pidgey will not benefit your team 
in the first half of the game.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rattata Lv's 2-4 

A Pokemon with some super duper attacks

Advantage: Well this isn't a very detailed Advantages section, but Rattata, is 
just an average Pokemon with some awesome attacks from time to time.

Disadvantage: A normal type Pokemon, is bad because normal type Pokemon do not
have huge advantages, or disadvantages over other certain types of Pokemon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, now that I have explained what to expect, and encounter on route one, let's
cross it, shall we?

Well, this one is basically easy to figure out, even for you newbs.  All that
you have to do is continue heading north training up your starter.  You will of
course run into some Pidgeys, and Rattatas.  By the time your out of route one,
the best hope is for your starter to be at least at level 10+.  In order to 
find wild Pokemon search in the grass.  If you start to run low on hp, you have 
to options.  You can go north into Viridian City, and get your Pokemon healed
fully...for free!  Or you can use a potion that you have.  Go to the first guy
you come to on route one, and he'll give you a free sample from the mart which
is a potion.  

So after leveling up, then healing, and doing it all over again, for a specific
number of times, go up to your first town...Viridian City.  When you first get
here, go to the Pokemon Center.  Get your Pokemon healed by talking to nurse
joy.  She will talk to you, and then after you say yes, she will give your
Pokemon back fully healed.  

 Viridian City
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Viridian City, there are many beautiful sights for your eyes to feast on.  
In this town there is a gym, but you are unable to get in.  (More on this later 
in the FAQ.) Some other sites are the Poke Center where you go to get your team
healed, the town mart, where many items to help you along your journey are
sold, (do not go there yet.) A house where a person is trying to memorize his
notes.  (not important in the most.) A house above the house where the note
memorizing is taking place.  And a guy lying down blocking your way to the 
north gate of the town.

First things first however.  Go to the west side of Viridian City into 
Basically open area.  There is a boy/man here, but you do not need to talk to 
him.  Now do NOT go all the way to the east.  Where there is an opening to the 
north, go through the tiny crack that you can just barley fit through.  Go 
north, continuing up through it then go directly east when you can't go north 
anymore.  You will see a little tree type thingy.  Go to the tree, and a poke 
ball will stop you from going any further.  Click the A button, and that item 
is yours.  (It is a potion) This is how you pick up items.

Go back down to the flat, open area after you get your free potion.  Here, you
will face your first crossroad in the game.  You can either go east to fight
your Rival, or you could go west and not.  But before just floundering east
you must know that if you fight your rival now, you cannot fight him in the
future when you come back to Viridian City.  So in my opinion I would not fight
him now, and choose to save it for later when he has some much better Pokemon.
Of course, you can do whatever you want...it is your file, and your game.   

So, coming back into Viridian You might want to re-heal your Pokemon before
your task here begins.  After healing or doing more exploring, head towards the
northwest of the Viridian City.  But wait just one darn minute.  This huge guy
is lying at a horizontal angle blocking you from going any more in the northern
direction.  Talk to the guy, and some of the people around him, and they will
claim that this dude always gets like that until he gets his morning coffee.
(Maybe he should try decaf.) Well of course we haven't done squat in the game
yet so never fear for the mart is here!

That's right, now is your chance to go to Viridian City's mart.  Walk into the
building that says "Mart", and you will be abruptly brought in with the guy
asking Mart Clerk: "Are you from Pallet town?" You can't answer this and
automatically the guy will ask you to do this deed for him.  He claims that
Professor Oak ordered this parcel, and he asks you to take it to him.  Doing
this however will get the fat man out of the way!

 Back to Pallet Town
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So go all the way back to Pallet town going south, taking whichever route you 
want.  As soon as you get back don't stop for anything, and go directly to 
Professor Oak's lab.  Just walk right on up and talk to him.  After all the
talking is done, you are free to go.

All right we're geared up, and ready to go.  Let's head up north again back to
Viridian City.  

 Back to Viridian City 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head Back North to Viridian City.  You have nothing more to do here, so head
north wear the horizontal guy was blocking the way once before.  He'll explain
that he has had his coffee.  After going through a fairly short conversation
with the guy he'll explain how to catch Pokemon.  Watch this little tutorial,
it will help you to gain success in the game.  After this, you can now go 
north.
In this little patch of grass you can catch a different assortment of wild
Pokemon.  These would be Rattata, Caterpie, and once in a while a Pidgey.  I
decided here to catch a wild Pidgey.  Even though pidgeys might seem week, 
their
third evolutional stage (Pidgeot) is really great.  He is also a flyer, which 
will help you later on.  Go all the way until you see this building go through
it, and on the other side of the building you will come face to face with...  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 4b-1.Viridian Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, we have finally made it to the Viridian Forest!  Well without any further
ado, let's get started shall we?  When you walk in, there is a man in front of 
a
rather large tree.  You can talk to him if you would like but he won't want to
battle you, he will just tell you the Viridian forest is filled with bugs.  So
after talking to him go to the WEST of the tree.

                        Western Side of Viridian Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not much to do on the west side of the Viridian Forest.  You can go
northwest, into a fairly large patch of grass, and in there you can get
yourself a poke ball.  That's about it unless you think a certain Pokemon is
common in that area and want to stay around trying to catch it.  If not go back
to the big tree and head on over to the EAST side!

                        Eastern Side of Viridian Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going as far east possible, go into the large patch of grass.  In the grass you
will find yet another potion.  Start to head north of the Viridian Forest.
Probably without even noticing it you'll run into your very first trainer.

Trainers are fellow Pokemon owners.  They raise their Pokemon, and always like
to battle them they sometimes even keep their Pokemon as pets!  Some trainers
are easier than other trainers, but don not worry that's what I am here for.
Your first trainer is:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bug Catcher Rick (Payoff: $65)

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weedle   (6)      Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     74
Caterpie (6)      Bug              Fire, Flying, Rock                      72

After beating "Bug Catcher Rick," keep heading on north of Viridian Forest 
through the grass fighting wild Pokemon.  Soon enough you will come to face
your next trainer.

Bug Catcher Doug (Payoff: $84)

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weedle (7)        Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     78
Kakuna (7)        Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     168
Weedle (7)        Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     78


After beating "Bug Catcher Doug," Move on north again and you will find 
yourself a free antidote.  These items cure poison.  If you continue going
north you will hit trees.  Move to the east of these, then north again as you
find your next trainer.

Bug Catcher Anthony (Payoff: $96)

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caterpie (7)      Bug              Fire, Flying, Rock                      78
Caterpie (8)      Bug              Fire, Flying, Rock                      84


After beating "Bug Catcher Anthony," walk around him, and continue on your 
merry way westward.  When you cannot go west anymore (a barrier of trees, 
blocking your way) start heading south.  It almost feels closed in because you
are walking between two rows of trees.  Now when you get down go west then 
north.  It is pretty simple, all your doing is going where your only option is
to go.  When you finish heading north you will find yourself another trainer.

Bug Catcher Charlie (Payoff: $84) 

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP

Metapod  (7)      Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     108
 

After beating "Bug Catcher Charlie" Continue on your way south.  At the point
when you can no longer go south anymore head east, and then up to the northern
Tip of the forest.  This is the last run on your way to the exit, so it is
bound to be filled with tough trainers, with tough Pokemon.  If your Pokemon
are running low on hit points, you might want to be thinking about using a
potion or another healing item, preparing for your hardest fight yet.  Go a
trifle north you will run into...

Bug Catcher Sammy (Payoff: $108) 

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP

Weedle (9)        Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     99
Weedle (9)        Bug/Poison       Fire, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock     99

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
                           
After beating "Bug Catcher Sammy," you're home free from all of the trainers in 
the Viridian Forest.  Continue on north and you're out!  Congratulations, and 
welcome to...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 4b-2. Pewter City and Brock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(In Pewter City, there aren't many places to catch wild Pokemon in the Route 
4/Mt.Moon area!)

As soon as you get here please do yourself a favor, and heal your Pokemon at 
the Pokemon Center.  You deserve it after those tough battles in the Viridian 
Forest.  After healing head out and get your first real view at Pewter City.  
There is not much to do in Pewter City at this point in the game.  So why don't 
we get ready to rumble?  If you started with a charmander, and have no superior 
moves that are affective against rock, I suggest you stock up on potions and 
healing items.  

After you prepare for your first gym fight, head northwest of the city.  Not to 
far north though, because you won't find the Pewter City gym.  It's almost 
right
above the poke center.  Of course you can't get in from the south so go in from 
the north.  It is hard to understand, but in the game it is much simpler than I 
think I make it up to be.  In the gym there is one trainer before the big boy 
"Brock." His status is...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Camper Liam (Payoff: $220)

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP

Sandshrew (11)    Ground           Grass, Water, Ice                       218

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After beating "Camper Liam, it is time for your first battle.  If Liam got you 
down even one Hit Point you should still heal no matter what your Pokemon are. 
Brock is after all a very tough first gym trainer.  After healing head on up to
the gym once more and fight your first gym trainer.

For all gym leaders I will do a little more background information then on just
plain, regular trainers.

==================================
Gym Leader Brock (Payoff: $1440)  
==================================

Gym Leader Brock's status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gym Leader Brock's Favorite type of Pokemon- Rock Pokemon

Gym Leader Brock's Least Favorite type of Pokemon- Water Pokemon

Brock's likes- Rock Pokemon, Girls (In particular: Nurse Joy, and Officer
Jenny) and Breeding Pokemon (He is after all a Pokemon breeder!)

Brocks Dislikes- Water Pokemon, trainers who treat their Pokemon wrongly.)

Strategy- Use some rock hard defense, using etiquette attack moves in order to
beat the opponent.

Rewards from Gym Leader Brock- a wad of dough ($1440, your first ever badge
(Boulderbadge) TM39 (Rock Tomb) TM-Rod.

Pokemon- Gym Leader Brock has two Pokemon.  (See below)

Gym Leader Brock

Pokemon (Level)   Type             Weakness(es)                            EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geodude (12)      Rock/Ground      Fight, Steel, Grass 4x, Water 4x,       218
                                   Ice, Ground
Onix    (14)      Rock/Ground      Fight, Steel, Grass 4x, Water 4x,       324
                                   Ice, Ground

That's right, you have just beaten "Gym Leader Brock!"  After beating him you
will receive Rock Tomb.  You might have seen Onix use this Tm but if not it

buries a Pokemon in rocks!  It is a great TM for this point in the game, and is
especially great against fire Pokemon.  

So, after getting over your utter excitement of beating Brock, it's time to 
move on to later in the game.  Now you are officially...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 4c. Cerulean Bound!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So after beating Brock, walk out of the gym into some fresh air.  Go back to 
the
Pokemon Center and heal your party up for the next challenge.  After healing
you will want to go to around the middle of the city and head towards the
eastern side of Pewter City.

Go here, and you will meet Professor Oak's aid again.  Instead of doing
something for him he will do you a favor right here.  He will give you Running
Shoes.  These are shoes that when you hold down the B button will make you run
at a very quick speed.  After Oak's aid leaves continue on east.

Hear there is an opening, go through it and you will come to a line of 
trainers.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After beating the immense row of fellow Pokemon trainers, you are going want to 
walk west.  Here is a large patch of grass with a person inside of it.  You can
talk to him but all he will tell you is that he's a wimp, and he is afraid of
Mt. Moon!  Oh well, everyone gets scared at one point in another of their life.
So continue north onto Route 4!

Route 4
--------

There is not too much on this route.  Continue north up onto a Pokemon Center.
Go in the poke center, and heal your Pokemon after those utterly vicious
battles.  In the Pokemon Center you can talk to some other people, and the 
fisherman at the top left of the poke center will offer you a Magikarp (a 
really bad Pokemon that's easy to catch) for just five hundred dollars.
(Yahoo!) (Sarcasm) If you want to get Magikarp at this time you do not have
to, but he does evolve into Gyarados who has some very good attacks and
status, but a very low Special Attack.  If you do want to raise him, I am
warning you now that it is very difficult to raise.  

After making your not so tough decision, it is time folks.  Let's go to Mt.
Moon, shall we?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 4c-1. Mount Moon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wild Pokemon in Mt. Moon: 

Paris Lvs.???  (%4 appearance ratio)
-----------------------------------

A great sleeper

Advantages: Paris is a great sleeper, which will help you later on in the game.
Paris is also a grass, and poison Pokemon allowing it to have any one of those
attacks.

Disadvantages: Paris, and his later evolved form (Parisect) don't have the 
sharpest status in the shed if you know what I mean.  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Geodude Lvs.???  (%15 appearance ratio) 
--------------------------------------

Defense Galore

Advantages: Geodude has some nasty defense, which rids opponents of hit points 
in a snap.  All of Geodude's evolved forms have some great status.  (instead of 
speed.)

Disadvantages: Geodude is a rock type, which leads to many disadvantages on 
fellow Pokemon.  Geodude, and his family have very low speed.  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sandshrew Lvs.???  (%10 appearance ratio)
----------------------------------------

Ground Pound!

Advantages: Sandshrew is a ground type, meaning it has hardly any weaknesses to 
fellow Pokemon.  Its evolved form, Sandslash, is a great ground-type to have.

Disadvantage: Sandshrew does have one big weakness, which is dreaded water
moves.  Even though this is true Sandshrew still had very little disadvantages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clefairy Lvs.???  (%1 appearance ratio)
--------------------------------------

Metronome fun

Advantages: Clefairy is a normal Pokemon allowing not many weaknesses against
fellow Pokemon.  Clefairy is also a sleeper, which will help you further in the
game.  Clefairy, and Clefable both have average status.

Disadvantages: Hm..  Clefairy and Clefable both aren't the powerhouse your team
is looking for (Typically a Dragonite or other Pokemon with kick butt status.
Clefairy, and Clefable both don't have the best status but at least it is
average.  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zubat Lvs.???  (%70 appearance ratio)
------------------------------------

A pestering bloodsucker

Advantages: Zubat has an amazing third evolutional stage (Crobat) That's about
it folks, they have average status and are an average family.

Disadvantages: Zubat is part flying, which leads to many disadvantages to other
Pokemon.  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you walk into Mt.Moon, go to the northern direction of the mountain.  There 
will be a trainer next to a sign that says "Beware Zubat is a bloodsucker!" 
After taking a look at the sign fight the trainer that is next to it.

After beating Lass Iris, instead of going northwest let's go south then west
(towards the west of the entrance." Down here you will find TM09, which is
Bullet Seed.  This TM shoots out bullets (seeds) at Pokemon.  This will happen
any ware from 2 to 5 times.  

After you get TM09 go north, and west again.  Here you will run into another
trainer.  

Bug Catcher Kent (Payoff: $132)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After beating "Bug Catcher Kent", go to the northwestern tip of that area and 
pick up the item there.  The item is a parlyz heal.  It will cure your Pokemon 
from being paralyzed in a Pokemon battle.  

After getting your Paralyze Heal go back south to where the trainer with the
Clefairy was.  Go northeast and continue down the ladder into a new area.  In
this new area go down and west.  (The only way that you can).  When you get to
the end of the corridor go through the ladder leading underground.  Down here
there is another trainer waiting to battle you.  

Team Rocket Grunt (Payoff: $)
------------------------------

Zubat     (11)    Flying/Poison    Electric, Rock, Ice, Psychic, Ground    126

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After beating the Team Rocket Grunt move up towards the little plateau that has 
an opening in it.  In this little plateau collect the Star Piece.  Star Pieces 
can go for tons of cash at the town marts!

After getting your hefty star piece go all the way back to where the first 
latter was that led you down here.  The latter that was near the trainer with 
the Clefairy.  Going east, you will run into a rock wall.  I want you to go 
slightly above the rock wall, and then go down streaking the wall.  

The first thing you will see on your way down to the bottom you will find an 
Escape Rope.  This item you can use when you are stuck some ware in the game.
It will automatically send you back to the entrance of that place.  The next
item is a Rare Candy.  Rare Candy boosts the level of your Pokemon by one.
On the wall you will find yourself some trainers.

After you beat Super Nerd Jovan, go get the potion that is on the northwestern
tip of where you fight the gosh dang nerd.  After this you can head north again
to where the ladder is.  No, we aren't going down there again, we are 
continuing
on in Mt.Moon.  From the ladder, go east then continue on north.  There will be
a man hiding in many rocks.  This guy isn't a trainer but he is looking for
fossils.  Oh well.  To the western of this guy however, there is a trainer
walking around.

After you beat Lass, go the only way you can go which is southwest.  Whilst
going in that direction you will find another ladder leading down.  You know 
the
drill.  Go west to go to another ladder leading underground.  In this little
spaced in area, there is another Rocket Grunt.

After taking out the Team Rocket Grunt go up inside that little closed in
floor, and get the item there.  The item inside the little rock cave is TM46.
TM46 contains thief.  Thief sometimes steals items that wild Pokemon might
be holding at the time.  After getting the TM, I found a hidden item down here.
Where the rock is in the middle of the floor, go to it and press the A button.
The hidden item that you will receive is an Ether.

After you collect the two items down in the underground go back up to where you
came to the ladder in the original place.  Go south some more and you will find
yourself another devious trainer.

After beating the char breaker, go northwest and get the item there.  Go 
through
the next ladder leading downstairs.  The item up here is a Moon Stone.  After
getting it, go through the ladder bringing you down.

When you get to the new area, head west.  Take a slow turn down where there is

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After you beat this Super Nerd (hardest trainer in Mt.Moon) you get to choose
your own fossil!  You can either choose the Dome, or the Helix fossil.  
Choosing
the Dome fossil in my opinion is the better choice.  This is because you get
Kabuto later in the game.  If you choose the Helix fossil, you will receive an
Omanyte later in the game.

After both of you choose your fossils it's time to get out of Mt. Moon.  But
before we do, collect the Antidote in front of the ladder.

Route 4
-------

In this route there is not too much to do.  The main things available for you 
to
Snag are TM's taught to your Pokemon by a some black belts.  The TM's are Mega
Punch, and Mega Kick.  Select one Pokemon you want to learn one or both of 
these
TM's, and they will teach it to that specific Pokemon.  The one, and only item
you will find moving east is TM05.  TM05 contains Roar.  Roar makes a foe 
switch
out with an ally.  In the wild, the battle ends.  After getting these TM's, go
south to my favorite city.

 5c-2. Visiting Pokémaniac Bill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Cerulean City there are two main things for you to do.  One is to visit
Pokemon Expert Bill.  The other is to fight misty.  Because Misty is a
challenging opponent, we will cover Bill first.  Okay after getting a good look
around Cerulean City go to the house at the northwest corner of the city.  
There
is a man inside there, but he is unimportant.  Go through the house, and come
out in the back yard.  In the back yard, go to where all of the pretty flowers
are.  Go into the first flower one the bottom row.  Looking towards the eastern
direction click the A button, and you will find a hidden Rare Candy.

Go back to the city, and heal because it is time to face Nugget Bridge!  Go to
the north of the city where there is a big bridge.  Start walking up but
suddenly your Rival will stop you!  He (after a long time talking) will ask you
to battle him.

Well guys that just about ends Nugget Bridge.  You can go north, and receive 
TM45.  TM45 contains attract.  With this TM "If your opponent is the opposite
gender than you the foe is infatuated and is unlikely to attack.  This TM is
especially great for females against males.  This is true because there are 
more male Pokemon in the game than female.  From here continue west fighting
all the trainers until you reach Bill's house.

After beating the final trainer on the long journey on and towards the
northeast of the Nugget Bridge, go to the house just to the right of you.  In
here is the ever-famous...guy in a Pokemon suit?  No, this can't be right.
Bill isn't half-Pokemon half-man!  Suddenly Bill will talk to you claiming that
he was experimenting with Pokemon, and now he is stuck in this costume.  He
needs you to do a favor.  He will tell you to hit the computer when he goes in
the teleporter.  As soon as he goes in go over to the computer and tap the A
button a few times over, and a new person will come out on the opposite end of
the teleporter.

This new person is Bill.  He will thank you so much and will let you use his PC
system.  Now when you go to deposit and withdraw Pokemon in the poke center,
instead of saying "Someone's PC" it will say Bill's PC.

Giving even more thanks, Bill will rummage around in his clothes looking for 
something.  Out comes what looks like a ticket of some sort.  Turns out, this 
ticket is an SS Anne ticket.  It will enable you to board a ship in Vermillion
City.

After your meeting with Bill, head back down to Cerulean city, either going
reverse, or taking the shortcut south of Bill's house.  In order to take this
shortcut, you have to go southwest of Bill's house.

(In Vermillion City the only places to catch wild Pokemon are inside of
Digglet's Cave, and also east of the city.)

That's right you have just entered Vermillion City!  As soon as you walk in, go
to heal your team.  Right after that, save your file so you do not have to 
fight all of these trainers over again.

Okay, let's get down to business!  Go to the house just west of the Pokemon
center, and get the old rod.  With this rod you can go fishing in almost any
area of water, but you won't find anything worthwhile.  (I think but I am not
sure the only Pokemon you can find with the Old Rod is Magikarp.

After you get the Old Rod, go south of Vermillion City.  After going a tad 
south go west where there are two houses.  The house on the right has one 
little
midget inside it.  He'll ask you if you have a Spearow.  Then he will ask you 
if you would like to trade it for his Farfetch'd.  If you have a Spearow go
ahead and trade it.  It will get you another Pokemon caught on your dex, and
another Pokemon seen on your dex.  If not you can always come back later.

The house on the left has basically a Pokemon club inside of it.  Talk to the
old man on the chair to the left.  When he asks you if you have come to hear
about his collection of Pokemon say yes.  He will go on and on about his
Rapidash and then finish.  Because he has kept you so long, he will give you a
Bike Voucher.  Go all the way back to Cerulean City, and trade it in the bike
shop for your very own bike.  When you get your bike go to it on the Key items
slot and press register.  Now whenever you want to go cycling press select, and
bam your on your bike.  Pretty neat huh?

When you get back to Vermillion City, go west and catch over 10 types of
Pokemon.  (Look later in the guide) While doing this fight all of the trainers
over there.  Also get the Awakening toward the north.

After fighting all of the trainers west of Vermillion City, go heal your 
Pokemon and come back to that cave, and enter!...

Digglet's Cave
---------------

(THIS IS ALL AFTER YOU BEAT THE SS. Anne!)

In this cave the only wild Pokemon are Digglet, and Dugtrio.  Head towards the
end of the cave, and you will come out in Veridian City.  Go down to the big
house, and you will get Flash.  Flash is an HM that lights cave and in battle,
lowers opponents accuracy.  (You'll need this gem for Rock Tunnel.)

Back to Vermillion City
------------------------

Back here, go south to the dock.  That's right you have just guest it this
place is where the SS.Anne lies!  Board the ship, and get ready to fight,
fight, fight!

For the SS.Anne, I will list all of the trainers on the ship and then where you

the rooms.  Here we go:

Now that you have just beaten ALMOST ALL of the trainers onboard the SS.Anne,
go to the room directly below the area where you came in.  There is a lady 
here.  If you talk to her she will give you and your Pokemon a nap.  (Healing
your Pokemon.) After that follow these directions:

Go left and up the big escalator.  
Go south, then make a sharp turn right.
Go all the way right and then turn up where you will find none other than:

After beating your Rival, go up the big escalator directly north of you.  When
you get up here, you will find the captain getting sick.  Go up to him, and you
will automatically stary rubbing his back.  He will (all of a sudden) feel
better, and for your help give you HM01, which contains cut.  Cut is used to
slice down trees and reduce grass areas.  It is also a fairly strong move that
can be used inside of battle.  

The items that were scattered throughout random rooms were: 

TM31 - Brick Break
Stardust 
X Attack
Super Potion
Ether
TM44 - Rest

Now that you have beaten the SS.Anne, get off the gosh darn ship!  You will
watch as the ship sails away from you slowly.  After it is completely gone go
back and heal in Vermillion City.  After you get your newly healed party, teach
one of them the HM the captain gave you.  Go to the southwest corner of
Vermillion City.  Here go up to the tree, and press the A button, keep on
clicking it until the Pokemon you taught cut to cuts the tree down.  This is
called cutting down a tree.  In this new area, there smack in the middle is the
Vermillion Gym!

The trainers before Surge are as follows:

A lot of people consider this gym to be really hard.  I mean in order to get to 
Blaine.  They really are making a mountain out of mold.  Just got up to a 
garbadge can and press A when it says there is a switch under it, go to the can 
to the side of it.  If there are two sides to it (Like if the can was in the 
middle) just pick one.  Sometimes it will say something like I am sorry the 
switches have been reset or something like that.  So just keep doing it over 
again!  It should take you anyware from 1-3 times to open up into Surges area, 
and when it does be ready to fight him!

Gym Leader Surge's Favorite type of Pokemon- electric Pokemon

Gym Leader Surge's Least Favorite type of Pokemon- probably ground

(sorry, but I have to put this in there from AstralFire's guide.)

LT.Surge likes- War films, G.I.  Joe, Pro Wrestling 

LT.Surge dislikes- Ballet 

Surge strategy- Surge doesn't really have a strategy.  Alls he does is try to
get you paralyzed then attack you because of your slower speed.  Wait a minute,
that is a strategy.  Oh well...  

Rewards from Gym Trainer Surge- Some average EXP, not as great as Misty, 2,400
dollars, your third badge (Thunderbadge), and TM.34, which is shock wave.  
Shock Wave is a little like Thundershock.  Not that good, or that bad.  Also
beating LT.Surge will raise your Pokemon's speed.

Pokemon- Gym Leader Surge has three Pokemon (see below)

After you beat Surge, go to the pokecenter and heal your Pokemon.  Next, go out
of Vermillion City, by heading back to Cerulean.  Right before you go back 
take the detour to the right.  Here there will be a tree.  Cut it down into the
new area.

In the new area, fight all the trainers going west and then south to that big
Tunnel/Cave.  The trainers in this area are...

(In Lavender Town, the only place where you can catch wild Pokemon is south of
Lavender Town.  There is also west of Lavender Town.  

That's right you have just entered Lavender Town.  As soon as you get in heal
your Pokemon.  The Pokemon Tower here is a dangerous place, as it's occupied
by ghosts you can't identify and fight.  So, forget it for now.

Now it is time to move on start heading west of Lavender town where you will 
find a lot of trainers.

Now that you have fought the trainers west of Lavender go through that little
house.  Go along heading west and you'll come out at Route 7.  Go a little 
north then west, and you will arrive at...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 5f.  Celadon City, the Shopping Mecca
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing you will want to do in Celadon City is to go heal your Pokemon.
Next go behind the Pokecenter and head west when you see an opening in the
building, go in.  Keep climbing up floors until you find a table with a Pokemon
on it the Pokemon is Eevee.  Eevee isn't a really good Pokemon but you can
evolve it into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon which are really good Pokemon.

After getting Eeveee, you might want to take a visit to the Department store.
The items there are...

Buy things and get out.  Enter the building to the right.

South of the Game Corner is a row of buildings.  Enter the leftmost building
and talk to the man in the upper left corner.  He'll give you a coin case.

After you get your coin case you can visit the Celadon Game corner.  You can
buy coins, or you can gamble for them.  

After this, go to the house two houses to the right of the Department Store.
Talk to the old woman and get the tea.  When you get it, you can now pass
through houses with guards in them.

Now it's time for Erika!

Go south towards the east, where there is a tree.  Cut it down then continue
going west.  Soon you will come upon a gym.  Which is Erika's gym of course.

Gym Leader Erika's Favorite type of Pokemon- electric Pokemon

Gym Leader Erika's Least Favorite type of Pokemon- Fire

Erika likes- Using an over amount of Perfume, and of course nice aromas

LT.Surge dislikes- Mean boys, and fire/bug Pokemon

Erika's strategy- Try to poison, paralyze, and put your Pokemon to sleep then
easily kill you with her above average attacks.

Rewards from Gym Leader Erika- A boatload of EXP, 2900 dollars, a Rainbow Badge
(your fourth badge), and TM19, which is Giga Drain.  It sucks life out of your
opponent's Pokemon, and improves your HP.

With so many weaknesses, you can pick and choose what to send against her.  The
best is a good fire-type, but any will do, really.  The only thing hard about
her are the levels of her Pokemon.

 5f-2. Rocket Hideout and the Magic Magnifying Glass
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Erika defeated, you now have four out of the eight badges!  This is cause
for celebration!  Instead of a party, raid an underground hideout!  Yay!

Your first stop is the game corner.  If you haven't already, snag the Coin Case
from the man in the bar (he's in the upper left corner) so you can hold coins
and play the slots.  When you're ready, talk to the Rocket standing in front of
the poster.  Battle and win!

Now then, examine the poster to open up a staircase leading into the 
underground
Rocket Hideout.  First go left and hug the upper wall to avoid being sighted by
the first Rocket.  Walk around him and go south to get an Escape Rope from the
table, then battle the nearby Rocket.  Afterwards, head to the right to find
another Rocket to beat up.

Now, after defeating these two it seems there isn't anything worthwhile on this
floor.  Not right now, anyway.  Take the stairs going down and hug the lower
wall to stay out of sight of the Grunt to the left until you're ready to fight
him.  Even if you should get caught, he's a pushover with weak Pokemon.

Afterwards, go left to the conveyor arrows and ride the bottom one.  After you
stop, walk back right, past all the other arrows and snag an X Speed.  Go back
to where you were dropped off on the light-colored square and take the Moon
Stone.  Now ride the lower >> conveyor to stop near a TM12.  Now go directly
right and take the conveyor pointing down toward the light metal floor.  Go
directly right again, then left, and you should be in the lower right corner of
this little maze.  From here, go down to the two << conveyors (one right on top
of the other) and take the lower one to reach a Super Potion.  First go up and
ride either conveyor back to the main part of the maze, then go right and down
and ride the right down-pointing conveyor.  Take two steps left, and you should
be back to the two << conveyors that got you the Super Potion.  Now take the
higher of the two conveyors there, then ride the conveyor pointing right.
You'll end up in a new area with a staircase and an elevator, but you can't use
the elevator quite yet.  Instead, take the stairs.

Here, there are two Rocket Grunts and one Hyper Potion in the upper left corner
of the room.  You can deal with the Grunts or just walk past them, but it's
advisable to fight them.  The one near the top of the room is listed first.
