'''You've liberated Saffron City from Team Rocket's mad scheme, and you could probably use a bit of a holiday.  We hear the fishing is good down south of Lavender Town, so grab your Old Rod and get set to drown a few worms.  You ought to pack the Poké Flute, too.  You won't be able to avoid Pokémon duels completely on this trip, but things will be far less hectic.  Route 13 is more like a maze than a highway, but it is a pleasant place to walk and enjoy the great outdoors.'''

=== Sleeping Beauty ===
You'll need to use your '''Poké Flute''' to wake the {{bp|Snorlax}} blocking the path here.  But stop at that first building and get TM 27 first. It contains [[bp:Return (move)|Return]] (the stronger the friendship, the more powerful it is).  The Poké Flute has the power to wake a sleeping Pokémon, in or out of battle.  Pipe a sweet tune to rouse this Snorlax from its rather inconvenient resting place.  It won't be very happy about the wake-up call, but when it attacks, you can try to capture it.  This is the only other Snorlax in the game, so if you didn't catch the one in Route 16, here's another opportunity.  With the way clear, continue south to Route 13.  After the Snorlax, get the '''Super Rod''' in the 2nd building.

|[[Image:Pokemon_118Goldeen.png|100px|left]]Now that you have the '''Super Rod''', you'll be able to fish for more Water-type Pokémon than you know what to do with.  So you might wish to ignore the less interesting ones like Goldeen.  Evolved form {{bp|Seaking}} is fairly tough, but with nothing but a handful of ordinary Normal attacks, she's not that intriguing.

|[[Image:Pokemon_098Krabby.png|100px|right]]Krabby is a fairly good Water Pokémon, and you can have fun beating things instantly (30% of the time) with his Guillotine technique.  But Krabby's real selling point is that he can learn Cut, Surf, and Strength HM's, allowing you to have them all without using more than one slot on your bench.

|[[Image:Pokemon_072Tentacool.png|100px|right]]Tentacool mixes Water with Poison types, and learns a variety of good attacks in both (and has a high enough special to make good use of them).  Built-in poison attack Acid does damage while lowering defense, which is nice, but Poison types still aren't stellar.
