'''Route 4''' is a short path in north Kanto that expands from the Poke Center at the eastern exit of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]] in the west to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]] in the east. Though the official western terminus of Route 4 is at [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 3|Route 3]] south of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]]'s western entrance, the western terminus is regarded by most to be [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]]'s eastern entrance.

From [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt.Moon]], Route 4 travels to the east, swerving to the north and the south to avoid ledges along the route. The path turns north, then east near a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. To the east of this area is a ledge that separates Mt. Moon from Cerulean. By hopping down this ledge, you won't be able to return to the previous towns until obtaining '''HM01''' {{bpm|Cut}}, coming back through [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Diglett's Cave|Diglett's Cave]] and returning to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 2|Route 2]].

The majority of the route is fairly straightforward as there is only one true way to proceed on the path and there are no trainers to battle (with the exception of a Lass on the highest hill on the route; however, she is reached only by way of the waterway that begins on [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 24|Route 24]]).
