Cherrygrove City
Cherrygrove City is a small city in south-eastern Johto. To the east Route 29 connects it to New Bark Town, to the north Route 30 leads towards Violet City and to the south Route 49 leads to Diamond Dive and the Seaplane Port.
It is where the player has their first battle with their Rival.
Though the city has no Gym, it is frequently passed through by Pokémon Trainers on their way to Violet City from New Bark Town.
The city acts mainly as a tutorial, introducing the player to the main tools of the game (the Pokémon Center, the Poké Mart, etc.).
