{{sidebar|float=right|width=250px|title=Unknown Dungeon|contents=As you explore Cerulean City, you'll spy someone beyond the fence on the northwest side of town. You won't be able to reach him until you're near the end of your adventure, so don't worry about him. Just take care of Misty and your rival and prepare for the greater challenges ahead!}}

 

You can check out the Bike Shop (lower-left building), but their bikes seem a tad pricey (a million bucks for a ''bike''? But your money counter stops at [[File:Pokebuck.png]]999,999!).

 

You can get a better deal in the building to the north, although the deal you'll get differs depending on which version you're playing: if you have Red or Blue, you can trade a common {{bp|Poliwhirl}} for a one-of-a-kind {{bp|Jynx}}. If you're playing Yellow, you can't get the Jynx, but the girl will give you a Lv. 10 {{bp|Bulbasaur}} if you can prove that you've taken good care of your Pikachu. You don't have to have beaten Misty to obtain it though. So check out your Pikachu: if it's in a good mood, with ears wagging or with little hearts, the Bulbasaur is yours. If not, you'll need to use Pikachu more and level it up a few times, or you need to attempt to give him a potion when he has full health; the more you do it, the happier he will get , and the Bulbasaur is yours.

 

If you try to leave town to the north, you'll have to confront your rival, but you may want to fight him and the trainers on the bridge (on [[../Route 24-25|Route #24]]) to build some EXP before you fight Misty.

All of the Pokémon are Water-type. The two junior trainers aren't too tough, but Misty's {{bp|Staryu}} and {{bp|Starmie}} are dangerous. {{bp|Pikachu}}, unfortunately, can't really handle them (unless it's at a high enough level). Thundershock just doesn't have the power to defeat them before their STAB Water-type attacks take out the cute yellow mouse. The exception to this is the Pokémon Yellow Pikachu, which if you took time to level it up to level 26, it should be able to learn the very powerful Thunderbolt at such an early stage of the game. This should be sufficient to K.O. them quickly enough. A good strategy in Yellow Version is to use Double Team repeatedly, followed by Thunder Wave. The combination of your raised evasion and the enemy's paralysis makes it extremely unlikely that your Pikachu will take enough damage to be KO'd. Then you can just hit them with your most powerful electric attack.

 

{{bp|Bulbasaur}}, which should be {{bp|Ivysaur}} by now, won't even break a sweat taking them down. {{bp|Wartortle}} is walled by Misty's Pokémon since they're both the same type but it should do decent if it has Mega Punch (by TM01 from [[../Mt. Moon/]]) or Bite (learns at level 24). If your starter was {{bp|Charmander}}, forget about it. Instead, go north of Cerulean to capture a Grass Pokémon like {{bp|Bellsprout}} or {{bp|Oddish}}, and get it to at least level 17.

The '''Cascade Badge''' and '''TM11''' (Bubblebeam) are your prizes when you win. Bubblebeam is a 65 base power Water-type move. It's a step up from Water Gun, to be sure, and you don't have to worry about wasting it if you don't plan on making a competitive {{bp|Persian}} — the much more powerful Surf makes it obsolete later on. The Cascade Badge will make traded Pokémon up to level 30 obey you, as well as permit the out-of-battle effect Cut to be used.

Return here later with a fishing rod to catch some new Pokémon.

Yellow players can finally receive a Bulbasaur here ''if'' their {{bp|Pikachu}} is happy with them. It's a little low level, being only level 10, but it comes with Leech Seed already and will learn Vine Whip by level 13. Probably the best Grass-type in the game, although {{bp|Oddish}} and particularly {{bp|Bellsprout}} are close. It should certainly be helpful against Misty.

Jynx, possibly the strangest of Pokémon, having a unique combination of types: Ice and Psychic. She has good Speed and Special, but her Attack is mediocre and her Defense is terrible, especially since Ice is the worst defensive type in the game. She's the only Ice-type you can get for a while, and she has more Ice-type attacks then some of its brethren, but there are better options later on and she gets no Psychic-type moves at all (unless you use a TM.) A good choice, but you could do better. Try and make sure that the {{bp|Poliwhirl}} you trade is under level 39, or else your Jynx will lack the sleep-inducing Lovely Kiss attack.
