Part 9: Kanto

The S.S. Aqua from Olivine (and Route 27 back the other way) open Kanto. Pewter, Cerulean, Vermilion, Celadon, Fuchsia, Saffron, Cinnabar and Viridian's gyms follow the original Crystal's order rather than Johto's straight line, so nothing here is pinned to a single checkpoint beyond this one.

Kanto opens 48 areas. There are 120 trainers standing in them. The fights at this checkpoint are Lt.Surge, Erika, Misty, and 8 more.
