'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Kanto]] route that's interlocated between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Saffron City]], serving as a junctional route therebetween.

This area becomes immediately reachable whereupon Misty is defeated in [[Cerulean Gym]]; thereafter, it can be accessed by walking through the seams slightly northeast of the aforementioned Gym, as the burglarized-house area will be made passable.

This route must be traveled on en route to [[Vermilion City]] for the next badge in Kanto's successional line of Gyms. One of the gatehouses of the quadricentral [[Saffron City]] exists, here, but it will be impassable until the [[Soul Badge]] has been procured from [[Fuchsia Gym]]; this necessitates that you use the Route 5-to-[[Route 6]] underpass in order to bypass it.

This route also houses Kanto's own [[Daycare Center]].

==Notable miscellanies==
===Daycare Center===
Kanto's only daycare-center site exists on this route, which is housed in the lone house on this route. [[Naero_(boss)|Naero]]'s eponymous boss NPC must be defeated in order to access the site and thus its services; since that entails access to [[Cerulean Cave]]—a top-end training site that requires biregional completion to complete [[Cerulean Cave (quest)|its compulsory quest]]—it will not be achievable early on.

Herein, the [[Pokémon Doctor (task system)|daycare-quest system]] can be used, and [[Egg-Inheritable Moves|Egg Moves]] will be teachable by the tutor for {{Pdollar}}15,000 per tutee.
