Celadon City lies to the west, past Saffron City. Once again, the road through Saffron City is blocked, but after fighting your way through a number of would-be Pokémon masters, you'll be able to use another underground path to bypass the guardhouse and reach the road beyond. Why is Saffron City locked up so tight? That's yet another mystery for another day.

The many roads to [[../Saffron City/]] are all blocked, so once you pass the challengers and catch yourself a Pokémon or two, take the tunnel connecting Routes 7 & 8.

The Underground path takes you to Route 7, which leads straight into [[../Celadon City/]]. This booming metropolis has everything a Pokémon collector might need, from a Department Store (a much bigger Poké Mart) to a Game Corner for entertainment. If you've got the time to spare and want to build up your team, there's a wealth of Pokémon hiding in the tall grass just outside the city. This is also your chance to get a Fire-type Pokémon if you need one on your team (although it might not be so strong for much of your in-game), Growlithe for Red version, and Vulpix for Blue version.

Blue players can get the nine-tailed firefox Vulpix, like {{bp|Growlithe}}, evolves into its final form with the aid of a Fire Stone. Vulpixes may not be as offensively tough as Growlithe, but they are a bit quicker, and they learn a good move for trapping ('''Fire Spin''', the Fire version of Wrap) as soon as level 42. Use the Fire Stone then and you'll have a tough and versatile, good all around {{bp|Ninetales}}, but you might want to gain its level-up moves as a Vulpix first.
Fire Pokémon abound around here... Red players can get a powerful Growlithe, a tough fighter with decent Fire attacks and good attacking stats, who turns into one of Red's toughest brawlers when you power him up (into {{bp|Arcanine}}) with a Fire Stone. But you may want to wait on that until it learns the very powerful Fire-type attack, '''Flamethrower''', at level 50, which is pretty far.
