12. Cerulean City and the rival
Route 4, Cerulean City.
Walkthrough
Walk into Cerulean City and north toward Nugget Bridge. Your rival is waiting on the road and battles you. His team now has Pidgeotto, Abra, Rattata and his starter, level 15 to 18.
After the battle he gives you the 
Fame Checker and leaves.
Cerulean has a Pokémon Center, a Mart and a bike shop. The 
Bicycle costs more money
than you have; you will get it later with a voucher.
