========================
This battle isn't a hard one. If you choose Bulbasaur/Squirtle you
have type advantages here.
Using your starter alone should be sufficient
here. If you win the battle,
Brock will give you TM 39 Rock Tomb. In
addition to
that, you will be given a TM case as well.

| Staryu |

| Starmie |
21 |
========================
Two words: Water Pulse. That's pretty much sums up what you are going
to face. The Water Pulse
attack would be your biggest trouble against
them. Staryu
is relatively easy, but Starmie is a challenge even
for
Electric Pokemon if you haven't levelled up
enough. Bulbasaur users
shouldn't find
much problem, although it's good luck to Charmander users
if they didn't levelled up high enough. Take no chance and use your
strongest attack
everytime. After the battle, Misty will give you the
Cascade badge as well as TM 03 - Water
Pulse.

========================
Ground or Rock attacks work best here. Overall, the battle isn't really
that hard. You'll be given
the Thunderbadge and TM 24 - Thunderbolt
once you defeat Lt Surge.
Now with three badges in your hand its time
to head for the next town.
However, before you leave make sure you check
out the Pokemon Fan Club HQ
at the Western part of the city. Talk to
its president, and you'll
be given a bike coupon that you can exchange
for a bike in Cerulean Bike
Shop. Beside the Pokemon Fan Club, there's
a little girl who want to
trade a Farfetch D for Spearow.
Lastly, stock
up on potions and other
healing items.

| Tangela |

| Vileplume |
29 |
========================
Burn them if you have any fire Pokemon with you. If you've captured
a Growlithe
earlier, take advantage of its ember attack. Alternatively
you can use psychic Pokemon
for both Victreebell and Vileplume,
since
they are also Poison
Pokemon. Once you've beaten Erika, she'll give
you the fourth badge and a
TM. With four badges in your hand, it's
time to head for
city, you might want to
visit the house in route 16 (acessible by
Cut) to get HM 02 - Fly. Fly will allow you to fly to all Pokemon
Centers that you've visited.

| Weezing |

========================
This could prove to be a tricky battle. Psychic Pokemon is your best
bet against Koga. Ground
attack will not work against Koffing and
Weezing due
their abilities - Levitate, which made them immune to
ground
attacks. Also, watch out for their self-destruct which could
hurt you if you only rely on
one single Pokemon. To be save, get some
revives and
antidotes for this battle. One or two good Psychic Pokemon
will be enough to win you
the badge. Once you defeated Koga, he'll
give you the soul Badge as
well as the most effective poisoning move
in the form of TM 06 -

To old players, do you remember this gym in the original games.
Psychic Pokemon used to be the powerhouse in the original game. This
Gym was no exception.
gym leader battle in the riginal R/B/Y. Not anymore. With the
split in Special categories,
and some dark moves available in the

be easier now. Once you defeat Sabrina,

Pokemon should be able to

for the Rainbow islands. Right after you
get out of Cinnabar gym,
Bill will come and ask you whether you want
