After you pull the plug on Lt. Surge, the next place to go is Lavender Town. The quickest way is through Routes 11 and 12. Unfortunately, a Snorlax blocks Route 11, but you should still go as far as the lookout station, where you'll meet up with one of Professor Oak's aides. After you've talked with him, turn around and head toward Diglett's Cave.
This area is entirely optional, since you can just use Diglett's Cave to cross back to Route 2 to get '''HM05''' which contains '''Flash''', a move you would need for [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Rock Tunnel|Rock Tunnel]] to light up the cave there so it helps you to navigate in there. But you might want to stop by to get yourself a {{bp|Drowzee}}. Probably not the best Psychic-type Pokémon around but its still pretty good to pick up if you need a Psychic type on your team. There are about ten trainers here, so you can also maybe take down some of the Gamblers for the massive amounts of cash they keep on hand. It's also a good place to catch up on your Pokémon's levels.
Checking the lone bush that a Youngster (marked on the map as Trainer #8) is facing will yield an '''Escape Rope'''.
The guard house to the east is open, but a sleeping {{bp|Snorlax}} is blocking the path. You can go upstairs where you can get the '''Itemfinder''' from one of Professor Oak's aides if you have 30 or more Pokémon. That does mean individual species - check the "owned" number on your pokedex. You can also trade a {{bp|Nidorino}} for a {{bp|Nidorina}} in Red/Blue or a {{bp|Lickitung}} for a {{bp|Dugtrio}} in Yellow.

|[[Image:Pokemon_096Drowzee.png|right]] Drowzees are incredible. They have lots of HP and good special attacks, including a variety of Psychic attacks that do damage ''and'' give your opponents negative conditions. But the best thing about Drowzee is that he can learn Dream Eater from TM 42 (which you'll get very shortly when you return to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian City|Viridian City]]), and that combined with his built-in skill Hypnosis, is one of the game's most powerful combos. He puts them to sleep with Hypnosis then uses Dream Eater to deal a ton of damage and gain it all back as health.

<big>This area is entirely optional, since you'll need to use Diglett's Cave to cross back to Route 2 (where you want to be right now) without facing the wrath of the 10 deranged trainers lurking in Route #11. But you might want to visit for a bit yourself a {{bp|Drowzee}, and maybe take down some of the Gamblers for the massive amounts of cash they keep on hand.

The checkpoint to the East is open, but a sleeping {{bp|Snorlax}} is blocking the path. You can go upstairs, however, and get the '''Item Finder''' from one of Professor Oak's aides if you have 30 or more Pokémon, or trade {{bp|Nidorino}} for a {{bp|Nidorina}} in Red/Blue or a {{bp|Lickitung}} for a Dugtrio in Yellow.</big>

Drowzees are great. They're reasonably sturdy and their Special is high. Like many Psychic-type Pokémon, they can learn Psychic (a very powerful Psychic-type move especially with STAB that also has a 30% chance of lowering a target's special stat), along with a couple of status moves, and they really don't need much else despite their decent movepool. The problem is that the Abra evolution family such as Kadabra and Alakazam has even better Special and has much better Speed but with a drawback of poor defenses. The choice is yours - a fast glass cannon or a sturdy support Pokémon?
