WALKTHROUGH / CHAPTER 2

Through Webbed Woods to Catsear City

Cross the forest, prepare for its trainers and follow Route 2 south to your first new city.

Webbed Woods · eastern Route 1 · Route 2 · Catsear City

Prepare before heading deeper

Keep your party healthy and give your new teammate some training. Early battles can be tough: this run lost to Jimmy twice before returning successfully. At level 3, Spinarak learns Poison Sting; at level 5 it learns Absorb. Crackliss learns Ember at level 8.

Use Chamomile’s Pokemon Center when needed

You can return through the western woods entrance and Route 1. In Chamomile Town, speak to the nurse at the Pokemon Center and accept her offer to rest your Pokemon. Mom’s repeat conversation is not a substitute for this stop.

Pass the pond and face Jimmy

From the first-catch grass, head south to its lower edge, then east toward the pond. Follow the pond’s western bank south to Youngster Jimmy. Finish his battle and close the conversation. The nearby sign says that no more than four items may be used during a battle.

Follow the southern path to Tim

Continue south from Jimmy through the narrow grass corridor. At the lower clearing, turn west and follow the path toward Bug Catcher Tim. In this run, Crackliss reached level 8 during Tim’s battle and learned Ember. Check the move list before choosing your attack.

Circle around to Skip and the eastern exit

After Tim, follow the path south, then east through the long strip of grass. At the far end, turn north and follow the corridor to Bug Catcher Skip. After the battle, close his conversation, go around him to the north and follow the path east, then south to the forest exit.

Follow eastern Route 1 south

The forest exit returns you to the eastern side of Route 1. Follow the open trail south, walking around the small tree rather than trying to cut through it. Continue south into Route 2.

Continue past Jane and Sonny on Route 2

Go east through the northern grass opening, then turn south and follow the path back west. Lass Jane challenges you near the first bend. Continue down the main southern trail to Youngster Sonny, then finish his battle and conversation.

Arrive in Catsear City

Keep following Route 2 south. Near the bottom, take the western bend around the trees and continue south into Catsear City. This chapter ends at the city entrance; explore and recover before taking on your next objective.
