<big>The encounters here are annoying, but at least many of them can be avoided, and there's a Pokémon Center at the end. Make sure you have your Cut-knowing Pokémon with you, or the HM and a Pokémon who's willing to learn.

Above Trainer #1 on Route #9 is a ledge with a tree on the right side. You'll have to go around to reach the tree, but examining it will net you an '''Ether'''.

|[[Image:Pokemon_100Voltorb.png|left]]Voltorb appear entirely like Poké Balls. Despite being Electric-type Pokémon, they learn no Electric attacks naturally without the aid of TMs. Rather, they learn Normal attacks including the life sacrificing Selfdestruct. Once learned, this move should ''only'' be used in an emergency.

Once learned, this move should ''only'' be used in an emergency. Probably the worst Electric-type in the game, although its evolved form is the fastest of any Pokémon.
|[[Image:Pokemon_081Magnemite.png|right]]The Magnemites in Yellow aren't as fast as their {{bp|Voltorb}} cousins in Red/Blue, but their mix of strong Electric skills and Normal attacks are more versatile than the Normal-only skills of Voltorbs.

They ''would'' be a good option, but you've already got Pikachu. If, however, you wish to not use Pikachu for some reason, then this is a good second choice.

{{sidebar|float=left|width=200px|title=Power Plant|contents=The [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Power Plant|Power Plant]] is visible from Route #10, but you can't reach it just yet. Sometime later, you'll obtain a Hidden Machine that will enable you to use the Surf technique. You'll be able then to travel along the stream that flows past both Route #10 and the Power Plant. Until then, you'll just have to keep your curiosity in check.}}

Before you enter the tunnel, hack aside the top bush and search the rock face above it for a Super Potion.
