'''''After you defeat Misty, you should head north from Cerulean City. Your rival, who now has four Pokémon, blocks the bridge. So do six other trainers.

Once you've beaten your rival, you can cross Nugget Bridge by beating the six Jr. Trainers blocking your progress, they will each challenge you to a battle. When you've defeated them all, they will let you pass.

On the other side, Yellow players will find a man (at the yellow '''A''') who wants to give a {{bp|Charmander}} a good home (such as your team), while Blue and Red players will only find '''TM45''', which teaches '''Thunder Wave'''. It's a great paralysis inflicting move with perfect accuracy.

You'll meet a familiar foe at the beginning of Nugget Bridge. Your rival is back, and this time he's actually improved enough to pose a small threat.

Your original party will work fine against your rival (Pikachu, your starter in its second evolution, and Spearow). Make sure they are all Level 16 or above. Lead with Pikachu and zap Pidgeotto out of the sky; 1-2 Thundershocks will do the trick once again. Use your lowest-level Pokémon (that you actually want to train) against Abra: it can't do anything to your Pokémon at all, so it's basically free EXP. Rattata is hard; its STAB Quick Attack and Hyper Fang can cause problems if allowed to go unchecked. Use your strongest Pokémon available on Rattata. Finally, use Spearow's Peck against Bulbasaur, Pikachu's Thunder Wave and Quick Attack on Charmander (Thundershock gets a little more power with STAB, but Quick Attack runs off of Pikachu's higher Attack stat and hits Charmander's lower Defense stat), and Pikachu's Thundershock against Squirtle.

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 (go south from the cottage) back to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]] (or for a faster way if playing on Red or Blue, use an Escape Rope inside Bill's house back to the Cerulean City Pokémon Center if it was the last place you healed) and go to the house that's guarded by a cop. Head on through it and fight the Team Rocket burglar (his roster is in the table to the left). Knock him out and recover '''TM28''', containing {{Bpm|Dig}}. Dig is a decent Ground-type attack that can be learned by {{bp|Sandshrew}}, {{bp|Geodude}}, and even non-Ground Pokémon like {{bp|Squirtle}}, {{bp|Charmander}}, {{bp|Rattata}}, and a couple of others. In battles, it does a ton of damage with a 100 power base, though it's unfortunately delayed by a turn, during which point you're invulnerable but this gives a opponent a free turn to do what he/she pleases such as switching out Pokémon (most likely a Pokémon that can resist Ground-type moves) and using stats boosts. However, when used outside of battles, you can use it to escape from dungeons (oddly, even some buildings allows Dig to be used)!

While in town, you can sell your '''Nugget''' for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]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.

Their next couple of skills are all Poison, Sleep, and Stun moves. Sleep Powder and Stun Spore are both useful for helping you catch and battle Pokémon, so Bellsprout is a good choice if you didn't pick a {{bp|Bulbasaur}} early on and you need a Grass-type.
