Route 9

Route 9 Map

Route 9 is a route in northern Kanto, connecting Cerulean City and Route 10.

Geography

Heading east from Cerulean, the route quickly utilizes the rocky terrain of the area, hopping down a ledge making this portion of the route a one way, eastbound only passage. Turning east, the route passes an opening to the south. Moving away from the passage, Route 9 comes to a four-way intersection. To the north is the one way, westbound only passage that returns to Cerulean and a grassy area containing wild Pokémon. To the south is a long passage that ultimately results in a dead end. The main path of Route 9 takes the east fork.

To the east of two hills connected by ledges, the route turns north. The route also comes to a three-way intersection here, with a fork to the west leading to a small patch of grass. Route 9 continues northward, turning east and turning south to the northeast of another small hill. After hopping another ledge that makes the passage east of the four-way intersection a one way, eastbound only path (and which utilizes the dead end passage, which is bordered to its north by a ledge for most of its length, as the westbound only path), the path east.

Just east of the Trainer is a pair of ledges that allow Trainers heading west from the Rock Tunnel to reach the four-way intersection that ultimately leads to Cerulean. Farther east, the route comes to an end south of a large grassy area, at which the path becomes Route 10. A small river wraps around the north and east sides of the grassy area and leads to the Power Plant on Route 10.
