Kanto Route 8

Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu leave Lavender Town, accompanied by Haunter; their destination is Saffron City. Ash hopes that Haunter, a Ghost Pokémon, can help him with Sabrina's Psychic Pokémon, Kadabra.

While initially spooked by it, Misty has grown fond of Haunter, who only wants to play and have fun; Brock, however, maintains his distance, because he is still frightened after the experience they all had at Lavender Town.

Kanto Route 8 connects Saffron City and Lavender Town.

Kanto Route 8

After having to forfeit the match to Sabrina, Ash was told by the jogging man that a Ghost Pokémon might be able to defeat the powerful gym leader. So, he and his friends travel to Lavender City, where they arrive just before dark.

From Kanto Route 8, they can see Pokémon Tower off in the distance; a place where it is said that Ghost Pokémon like to wander. But they are not the only ones there tonight... Team Rocket has already entered the tower!

Kanto Route 8

Only a ghost-type Pokémon may have a chance against Sabrina's Kadabra, explains the jogging man. The closest place where Ash can find one is Lavender Town, so that's where he and his friends are headed if they hope to defeat the powerful gym leader.

The heroes take Kanto Route 8 to the East to reach their next destination. Meowth follows closely, while hauling the still paralyzed bodies of Jessie and James with a rope. It will be a long walk.
