Pokémon up to level 70, as well as TM04 (Calm Mind). Once you're done here, move on to Route 12 to catch yourself a Snorlax and some Water Pokémon. Your ultimate destination is Fuchsia City, so you can also take a different way -- like Routes 16-18, for example.

If you haven't done it yet, give the guard in the guard house a drink from the Celadon Department Store or tea from the Celadon Mansion to pass. Saffron City has been taken over completely by Team Rocket. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter the once benevolent Silph Company HQ and free it from said Rocket infestation. Before you move on, you may want to pop into the local Gym. Which one? Yep, you're right. There are two. At first,
you can only enter into the one on the left.

Fighting Dojo Gym
This gym is actually not required to beat the game. But you get a cool Pokémon prize when you beat it, so don't skip it. The opponents are really easy to beat. Just use a Ghost type (it can't be hit by the Fighting Pokémon) or a strong Psychic.

After you have beaten the Karate Master, you will be given the choice of one of two rare Fighting Pokémon: Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. You can only get one of the two, so choose wisely. Since Hitmonchan's Special rating sucks, it's probably a good idea to pick the lightning fast Hitmonlee.
How do you get the second one? Sorry, you can only obtain the other through trade or by beating Pokémon Stadium's Gym Leader Battle mode.
Get TM 29 - Psychic
Enter the house in the southeast to get TM29 (Psychic), one of the most reliable attacks in the game. Use it often against Poison (/Ghost) and Fighting types for one-hit wins.
