Get the old woman's Cleanse Tag[edit]

You'll have to drop down from the top to get to this house. The old woman will give you a Cleanse Tag which, when equipped, will reduce the number of wild Pokémon encounters you face. After Route 5, cut west through Saffron City and Route 7 to get to Celadon City.
