Heal, then head west onto Route 38. Arnie calls again. I'm pretty sure these
trainers keep calling randomly because they're extroverts and they're lonely.

Thard_Verad adds, "So far as I can tell, it's roughly every 20-30 minutes, but
the trainer who calls and what they call about is random. Sometimes it's just to
chat, others want a rematch, a few might tell you about an outbreak of a
particular Pokemon. (Personally I'm waiting for news of a Remoraid outbreak)."

Thard_Verad also notes that trainers will only call about gifts in the Pokémon
Crystal Version.

Well, go through the building into Route 38.

Pokémon found in Route 38:

#019 Rattata
#020 Raticate
#052 Meowth (Silver only)
#081 Magnemite
#082 Farfetch'd
#128 Tauros
#241 Miltank

Items found in Route 38:

Berry

You're heading west. There are trainers, like on almost every route. I know,
that part is repetitive. Beep beep boop.

Bird Keeper Toby
Level 15 Doduo (307 EXP)
Level 16 Doduo (328 EXP)
Level 17 Doduo (349 EXP)
You get: 408G

Go left and you'll get a Berry, then return to just before the checkpoint house.
Instead of going west, go northwest and you'll face a loner.

Sailor Harry
Level 19 Wooper (211 EXP)
You get: 760G

Head left through the grass to face another trainer. She says, "If you're really
good, I want you to teach me things." That, I can do!

Lass Dana
Level 18 Flaaffy (450 EXP)
Level 18 Psyduck (307 EXP)
You get: 432G

Talk to Dana again and you will be able to switch phone numbers with her. Well,
she seems popular and fairly technologically savvy. I mean, who even has a cell
phone in this region? She'll call you from time to time to tell you that her
Flaaffy is in good shape.

Now head left to face the 4th trainer on this route.

Beauty Valerie
Level 17 Hoppip (268 EXP)
Level 17 Skiploom (495 EXP)
You get: 1496G

Go northwest and you'll run into:

Schoolboy Chad
Level 19 Mr. Mime (553 EXP)
You get: 608G

Mom calls saying she bought you an adorable doll. But is it adorable? That's for
you to decide. I just hope it's not a creepy doll that she thinks is adorable.
Now move southward now to face Beauty Olivia. Now head west onto Route 39.

Pokémon found in Route 39:

#019 Rattata
#020 Raticate
#052 Meowth (Silver only)
#081 Magnemite
#082 Farfetch'd
#128 Tauros
#241 Miltank

Items found in Route 39:

Mint Berry
TM13

Welcome to Route 39! It's the home of Moo Moo Farm. Here, moles pop out of the
road randomly and you'll fall off your bike. Oh wait, that's Mario Kart 64.
Sorry, my bad. It can be hard to keep track sometimes. Anyway, there are four
trainers ready to lose you to here on Route 39.

Psychic Norman
Level 17 Slowpoke (360 EXP)
Level 20 Slowpoke (423 EXP)
You get: 640G

Check out the Moo Moo Farm to the west of him. You can get Moo Moo Milk there
for 500G. It's a little expensive, but cheaper than a 
Super Potion and more effective. But before you can buy milk, you will first
have to feed berries to their Miltank so that it gets better. Once you do that,
you'll get TM13! For now, grab the Mint Berry, remember this place exists, and
come back later with those berries. Head southward.

PoKeFan Derek
Level 17 Pikachu (298 EXP)
You get: 1360G

Continue down...

PoKeFan Ruth

Head southward into...

|Olivine City|

Pokémon found in Olivine City:

#100 Voltorb

Items found in Olivine City:

Good Rod
HM04 Strength
TM23

As soon as you enter Olivine City and, when you are about to pass by the gym
your rival will appear. He will not challenge you to a match (because he knows
he's going to lose ^_^). Instead, he will tell you that Jasmine the Gym Leader
is currently at the lighthouse tending to a sick Pokémon. He thinks the gym
leader is a weakling because he has always favored strong Pokémon. 

As you zig zag your way down Olivine City, go into the house to the southeast of
the gym. You can apparently do that everywhere because no one locks their doors
in this foreign land. Talk to the fisherman and he will give you a Good Rod,
which can catch more than just Magikarps that can only splash. 

Then heal at the Pokémon Center and talk to the sailor at the table for HM04
Strength! All that biking you did isn't going to help you move boulders. That's
mostly cardio and strong legs, man. But now you can move boulders!

Now that you have and can use HM04 Strength, it is beneficial to equip HM04
Strength on any Pokémon at this stage that you can, because it's an 80-power
move that's worth using. Strength is also a great move to use in the overworld
to get past boulders in dungeons. You'll need to go to a Move Deleter to remove
it later if you want to improve your post-game moves. However, HM04 Strength is
all around stellar, and it's going to be better than most moves that Pokémon
naturally learn or can learn from TMs during your game playthrough.

After you get Strength (HM04) for free, go up the Olivine City Lighthouse in the
southeast part of town (not the dock). You'll spot it when you see it. It's
basically the only skyscraper in the city because no one can afford to build
bigger buildings in Johto. Let's go in and fight!

|-----------------------|
|Olivine City Lighthouse|
|-----------------------|

Items found in Olivine City Lighthouse:

Ether
Great Ball
Rare Candy
Super Potion
TM34 Swagger

OK, you're going to have to climb up a few floors to even meet Jasmine. You'll
need to switch back and forth between going clockwise and counterclockwise on
each floor. Wait, do people still know what analog clocks work anymore? Think
about going around in a circle in one direction and then back in the other
direction. 

Follow the path up to the second floor. You might get a call from Liz about guys
like Falkner. I don't know, people call about the weirdest things. I guess the
real reason here is not to give strangers your phone number. Keep going till you
see another trainer.

Gentleman Alfred
Level 20 Noctowl (693 EXP)
You get: 1440G

Keep advancing and move along the path to face Trainer 2.

Sailor Huey
Level 18 Poliwag (297 EXP)
Level 18 Poliwhirl (504 EXP)
You get: 720G

Go up to the next floor. You can avoid fighting the next trainer, but you should
probably pick up the EXP.

Bird Keeper Theo
Level 17 Pidgey (199 EXP)
Level 15 Pidgey (175 EXP)
Level 19 Pidgey (223 EXP)
Level 15 Pidgey (175 EXP)
Level 15 Pidgey (175 EXP)
You get: 360G

You'll probably want to heal Eevee up a bit now. Keep following the path to the
4th trainer battle!

Gentleman Preston
Level 18 Growlithe (351 EXP)
Level 18 Growlithe (351 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Head up the stairs to the 4th floor and head directly left for trainer battle 5.
She seems to be twitchy about things with Jasmine, almost like she wants to find
Jasmine and kidnap her.

Lass Connie
Level 21 Marill (261 EXP)
You get: 504G

If you talk to Connie again, it sounds like she actually cares about Connie.
Phew! Head south now, around on the path to the next trainer.

Sailor Kent
8Level 18 Krabby (442 EXP)
Level 20 Krabby (492 EXP)
You get: 800G

Todd will now call and say that Goldenrod finally has cheap sales. Woot! Head up
the stairs to fifth floor, or whatever it is. I'm not writing this guide because
I'm good at counting. I didn't promise that anywhere. After you get up, head
downward to grab TM34 Swagger, then go up to fight another trainer.

Bird Keeper Denis
Level 18 Spearow (223 EXP)
Level 18 Spearow (223 EXP)
Level 20 Fearow (693 EXP)
You get: 432G

Keep going and grab the Rare Candy, then go back down to Floor 4. There's a hole
next to Lass Connie. This would be a lawsuit anywhere else, but it's Pokémon and
your main character can jump down floors unscathed because he's the hero of the
story. Then, you'll find another trainer.

Sailor Terrell
Level 20 Poliwhirl (561 EXP)
You get: 800G

Grab the Ether right next to him, head up the stairs, and head up even more
stairs. Fight the trainer below you.

Sailor Ernest
Level 18 Machop (339 EXP)
Level 18 Machop (339 EXP)
Level 18 Poliwhirl (504 EXP)
You get: 720G

Go down and get the Great Ball, then climb the stairs again. We are finally on
the top level, Level 6. Talk to the person on that level, and it is Gym Leader
Jasmine. She asks you to get medicine for Ampharos for her. Afterwards, grab the
Super Potion left of Jasmine, then go to the right and jump down the holes on
the right side of every floor to drop back down to the bottom of the
lighthouses.

|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|

Heal at the Pokémon Center. Make sure you have a water Pokémon that can learn
HM03 Surf. If you don't have one, you'll have to catch one with a Good Rod on
the following route, Route 40.

Teach HM03 Surf to any Pokémon that can learn it, which will primarily be water
type Pokémon, because it's one of the best water moves for battle and you can
use it in the overworld. You'll need to go to a Move Deleter to remove it later
if you want to improve your post-game moves. However, HM03 Surf is all around
stellar, and it's going to be better than most moves that Pokémon naturally
learn or can learn from TMs during your game playthrough. Note that Magikarp
can't learn Surf. That fish just flops all over the place. But Krabby can. How
does a trainer ride a tiny Krabby? No one really knows.

Now exit, and enter the PoKeMart to restock on items, like Great Balls. Now head
west from the Pokémon Center onto Route 40!

|--------|
|Route 40|
|--------|

Pokémon found in Route 40:

#072 Tentacool
#073 Tentacruel
#098 Krabby
#213 Shuckle
#226 Mantine (Gold only)

Head to about where you see the swimmer in the water, then activate Surf by
clicking A at the water. It's time for the sea battles to begin! Talk to the
swimmer and let's begin a fight!

Swimmer Simon
Level 20 Tentacool (450 EXP)
Level 20 Tentacool (450 EXP)
You get: 160G

Swim southwest till you see a swimmer that's a girl. Face her next.

Swimmer Elaine
Level 21 Staryu (477 EXP)
You get: 420G

Head down till you see another girl a little southeast. Let's take another water
battle!

Swimmer Paula
Level 19 Staryu (430 EXP)
Level 19 Shellder (394 EXP)
You get: 380G

Head southeast again to encounter another guy there, the final swimmer on the
route.

Swimmer Randall
Level 18 Shellder (373 EXP)
Level 20 Wartotle (612 EXP)
Level 18 Shellder (373 EXP)
You get: 144G

Now, swim south onto Route 41.

|--------|
|Route 41|
|--------|

Pokémon found in Route 41:

#072 Tentacool
#073 Tentacruel
#098 Krabby
#213 Shuckle
#226 Mantine (Gold only)

Route 41 should give your Pokémon (like Eevee) lots of training for experience.

If you go down the right side:

You'll see a boy swimming around, or more like, spinning around. I feel like
spinning in the water like that should be in the Summer Olympics. He seems to be
the first trainer you've met to even have six Pokémon.

Swimmer George
Level 16 Tentacool (360 EXP)
Level 17 Tentacool (382 EXP)
Level 16 Tentacool (360 EXP)
Level 19 Staryu (430 EXP)
Level 17 Tentacool (382 EXP)
Level 19 Remoraid (316 EXP)
You get: 152G

Liz then calls you about her Nidoran pwning a Rattata. Yay! Continue going south
from George and you'll spot another swimmer. Either that, or she spots you.
Those are really the only two options. There isn't a third.

Swimmer Kara
Level 20 Staryu (453 EXP)
Level 20 Starmie (886 EXP)
You get: 400G

Keep heading south along the smaller and smaller path.

If you go down the left side:

You'll be going between some reefs and whirlpools. Keep going down to fight more
swimmers.


Swimmer Charlie
Level 21 Shellder (436 EXP)
Level 21 Tentacool (427 EXP)
Level 19 Tentacruel (834 EXP)
You get: 152G

If you go west from here:

Swimmer Wendy
Level 21 Horsea (373 EXP)
Level 21 Horsea (373 EXP)
You get: 420G

If you go south/southwest instead of west:

Swimmer Susie
Level 20 Psyduck (342 EXP)
Level 22 Goldeen (522 EXP)
You get: 440G

Swimmer Berke
Level 23 Qwilfish (492 EXP)
You get: 184G

Swimmer Denise
Level 22 Seel (471 EXP)
You get: 440G

Head to the east of her.

Swimmer Kirk
Level 20 Gyarados (916 EXP)
Level 20 Gyarados (916 EXP)
You get: 160G

The two sides will eventually merge. You will EVENTUALLY spot a swimmer. Fight
him, the guy who talks of the Whirl Islands. The Krabby could do some damage
against lower-level Pokémon.
Swimmer Mathew
Level 23 Krabby (565 EXP)
You get: 184G

You will reach land after that battle. Welcome to Cianwood City.

|Cianwood City|

Pokémon found in Cianwood City:

#213 Shuckle (Get for free)

Items found in Cianwood City:

HM02 Fly
Secret Potion
TM01

Cianwood is pretty small, and you will not be spending much time here. Heal at
the Pokémon Center and clear a space so you can acquire another Pokémon. This
may be a good opportunity to see which of your Pokémon can learn HMs Surf and
Strength. You'll still want to have one Pokémon that can use HM01 Cut.

To the left of the Pokémon Center is a house where a PokeManiac will give you
Level 15 Shuckie the Shuckle if you talk to him so that your thief rival won't
steal that too. You can return it later if you'd like. You're good at taking
care of Pokémon, right? I assume you are. You probably were playing with
Tomagachis before you turned this game on. Remember to feed your pets and give
your pets water!

Thard_Verad adds, "You can keep Shuckie the Shuckle if it likes you enough when
you try to return it. Let any Shuckle hold a Berry as you run around. Eventually
it will turn into Berry Juice. (Restores 20 HP) Berry Juice is nice if you do a
Little Cup battle."

Now head to the building below that. It's the Pharmacy. A guy inside the house,
wearing sunglasses will give you some medicine, a.k.a. Secretpotion. You will
give this back to Jasmine in Olivine for Ampharos to light back the lighthouse.
If you visit the home in the top part of town, he will offer to take pictures of
your Pokémon. You can then print them out if you have the Gameboy Printer.

Anyways, it's now time to battle in the Cianwood City Gym and face Chuck, the
fighting gym leader. Now enter the gym.

If you're only leveling up your starter, here's what your lineup might look
like:

Level 40 Starter Evolution
Level 21 Sudowoodo
Level 21 Tentacool
Level 20 Eevee
Level 15 Shuckle
Level 10 Spearow "Kenya"

Your lineup should now look like this:

Level 27 Starter Evolution
Level 27 Sudowoodo
Level 28 Raticate
Level 29 Eevee
Level 15 Shuckle

Let's go! Head up and you'll fight all the Blackbelts. Fighting type moves are
super effective against normal and rock types, so try not to use them where
possible against Chuck. Your evolved starter will do well. If you've been
leveling up one Pokémon, you can just repeat your strongest move and it should
sweep the gym. If you have a more balanced lineup, it may be tougher to do as
much damage. 

Blackbelt Yoshi
Level 27 Hitmonlee (804 EXP)
You get: 648G

Before you can react, the other Blackbelt fights you. You got double teamed.

Blackbelt Lao
Level 27 Hitmonchan (810 EXP)
You get: 648G

Keep moving up.

Blackbelt Nob
Level 25 Machop (471 EXP)
Level 25 Machoke (565 EXP)
You get: 600G

Use Strength to push your way to the last trainer before the gym leader. 

Blackbelt Lung
Level 23 Mankrey (364 EXP)
Level 23 Mankey (364 EXP)
Level 25 Primeape (798 EXP)
You get: 600G

Now that you've fought every trainer, leave the gym, heal at the Pokémon Center,
and then return to the gym. To get past the boulders, you need a Pokémon with HM
Strength. Then push the left and right boulders each up one, and move the center
boulder left or right. 

Save before the battle. If you aren't regularly saving while playing this game,
I'm not sure what to tell you. You must have a lot of confidence in your
batteries or in your abilities to win battles without resetting. Congrats on
your confidence. I'm sure that it will be worth something someday.

---
GYM LEADER CHUCK
Level 27 Primeape (861 EXP)
Level 30 Poliwrath (1188 EXP)
You get: Storm Badge, 3000G, & TM01 (Dynamic-Punch)
---

Strategy VERSUS Primeape: If you're just leveling up your starter, just use the
strongest move. Flying Pokémon could also be effective because flying moves beat
fighting. Raticate's hyper fangs can also work well.

Strategy VERSUS Poliwrath: Use the strongest move if you're using your starter.
If you're using a more balanced team, you may need to use a variety of
high-power moves, like low kicks from Sudowoodo or hyper fangs from Raticate. A
combination of Pokémon unleashing damage on Poliwrath should be able to take it
down. It's a takedown.

With the victory over Chuck, you have FIVE badges, another TM (Dynamic-Punch),
and more moolah. Woot. You're also within easy range for a 6th badge. Level 70
and under Pokémon all obey you and now you can use HM02 Fly, which you'll be
getting in just a second. Dynamic Punch is the deadly punch Poliwrath gave you
earlier, but it has crappy aim and will only work half the time. 

Talk to the lady outside the gym and she will give you HM02 Fly after she
notices your fifth badge. Apparently, she's Chuck's wife and wants him to stop
being so chubby. I think that's more a matter of diet than training at this
point. Chuck is probably eating too many chips and drinking too much soda.

Teach HM02 Fly to all your bird Pokémon (flying or otherwise) as it's a good
70-power move in a playthrough that can also get you quickly around the map.
You'll want to return to Olivine now so that you can give the medicine to
Jasmine and the Ampharos.
