This area is basically a connector between the two parts of Route 10 -- but there are plenty of trainers to fight on the way, and items to find in the darkness. This Rock Tunnel page is part of the Walkthrough. If at any time you need an overview of the whole game and its chapters, head back to the Main Walkthrough Page.

Make sure to heal your Pokémon at the nearby Center before entering this area.

North: Route 9 - South: Route 10
