Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 24-25

'After you defeat Misty, you should head north from Cerulean City. Your rival, Gary, who now has four Pokémon, blocks the bridge. So do six members of Team Rocket. If you can defeat them all, you'll receive a valuable Nugget and the freedom to head to the end of this path, where you can meet the world's greatest Pokémon entusiast, Bill the Pokémaniac!'

The challenge of Nugget Bridge
Once you've thrown down your rival, you can reclaim Nugget Bridge by besting the six Jr. Trainers blocking your progress.

On the other side, Yellow players will find a man (at the yellow A) willing to give a a good home, while Blue and Red players will only find TM 45 which teaches Thunder Wave. It's a weak skill for winning battles, but good for disabling Pokémon to make them easy to catch.

More interesting is TM 19 in Route 25. You'll need to be crafty to get it: Be at least three squares below the Jr. Trainer number 7 who's blocking it when you cross his line of vision, and he'll abandon his post to come fight you. Immediately after, loop behind him and grab it.

It holds Seismic Toss, which does damage equal to the level of the Pokémon using it to an enemy regardless of their type or defense. Very cool!



''Note: The #4 Youngster on Route #25 is crucial to the performance of the Mew glitch and should be not be challenged until you are ready to perform the glitch. Additionally, the #7 Jr. Trainer on Route #24 can also be used to perform this glitch, depending on which method you choose to use.''

Bill, the Pokémanic
Bill has a problem. Help him out by going to his PC's keyboard and doing what he asks. Yellow players can enjoy some amusing Pikachu antics as well.

Once he's rewarded you with an S.S. Ticket, exit the cottage and enter again. Check Bill's PC once again for information on four rare Pokémon. When you're done, take the shortcut back to Cerulean City and go to the house that's guarded by a cop. Head on through it and fight the Rocket Team burglar (his roster is in the table to the left). Knock him out and recover the very cool TM 28, containing Dig. Dig is a doubly useful skill that can be learned by, , and even non-Rock Pokémon like , , , and a couple of others. In battles, it does a ton of damage, delayed by a turn (during which point you're invulnerable), and you can use it out of battles to escape from dungeons!

While in town, you can sell your Nugget for 5,000 (that's all it's good for) and then cut through the burgled house's yard and head around Cerulean City to the south. You've got a ship to catch.
