Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 4

'After Mt. Moon, Route #4 will seem like a walk in the park. There are no trainers to challenge you and only one area where you can run into wild Pokémon. Be sure to collect Whirlwind (TM 04) before you jump the hedge to reach Cerulean City. After you jump it, you won't be able to jump back over it to backtrack...'



Next stop: Cerulean City
There's nothing particularly interesting in Route #4. All you'll find at this point is an item ball with TM 04 in it, which teaches a Pokémon the battle-ending (but relatively pointless) Whirlwind skill. There is also a hidden Great Ball (not designated on the map), a powered-up Poké Ball. Look on the first plateau of sorts (formed by the hedges which one can jump on all sides); it will be around the middle of the highest level. The Great Ball isn't there if you choose to get 5 free Poké Balls form prof. Oak earlier.

Be careful: When you jump down the wall to the southeast (and you'll have to in order to progress), you won't be able to go back!
