Tips
- A man stands in front of each entrance and refuses to let you through until you have returned the Machine Part to the Power Plant.
- A Full Restore and an X Special are hidden in the tunnel, so walk it with an Itemfinder.
- There are no wild encounters, so it is a safe way to travel between Route 5 and Route 6.
- Until the path opens, you can reach Vermilion from Saffron City by walking south along Route 6 instead.
