Cerulean City (in-game map)

Cerulean City is the northern Kanto hub where Routes 4, 5, 9 and 24 meet. It is the centre of the Machine Part storyline: a Team Rocket straggler has stolen a part from the Power Plant and hidden it in the Cerulean Gym. Misty, the Gym Leader, is away when you first arrive, and once the grunt has fled her Gym you find her on a date at Cerulean Cape.

Tips

  • After the Power Plant manager tells you about the theft, a Rocket grunt bumps into you at the Gym and flees north to Nugget Bridge on Route 24; beat him there to learn where he hid the part.
  • The Machine Part is hidden inside Cerulean Gym; return it to the Power Plant on Route 10 to restore power to Kanto.
  • Misty only returns to her Gym after you interrupt her date at Cerulean Cape on Route 25.
  • Misty's Starmie (Lv 47) knows Recover and Ice Beam; Electric or Grass moves help a lot here.
  • A Berserk Gene is hidden in the city; the youngster whose Itemfinder keeps beeping is a hint that it is nearby.
  • Surfing here finds Goldeen (Lv 5–10, 90%) and Seaking (Lv 10, 10%).
