As you try to pass, the guy won't just let you through, but he'll reward you with the Miracle Seed, a held item that boosts the power of Grass-type moves. Sweet! That can really come in handy for your Chikorita or Bellsprout.

| Items at Route 32 | |

Miracle Seed Receive from a man automatically near the beginning of the route. |
![]() |
Repel Right past the first Youngster on the route, head west and you'll find it in the grass. |
![]() |
Great Ball Just past Camper Takahiro, and to the right; sort of on a cliff just south of the railroad. |
![]() |
TM09 (Bullet Seed) Directly south of Camper Takahiro, though on the cliff and not down the stairs. |
![]() |
Old Rod Talk to the Fisherman inside of the Pokemon Center. |
![]() |
Poison Barb Talk to the person hiding in the forest behind the Pokemon Center. (Fridays only.) |
Just head south on the route, fighting whatever Trainers you feel like fighting. After the Picnicker, you'll find some steps leading down to a patch of grass. There are some Fishermen on the docks down there which might make for good battle practice (and laughs). Either way you take, you'll also notice that there's a huge railroad overhead. Sweet!
You can find a Great Ball on the route, which is pretty nice at this point in the game. Don't waste it on a Rattata! But also don't feel bad about using it, because you'll be able to get more before too long.
Additionally, right south of one of the Campers (the one with the Nidoran), you'll find TM09 (Bullet Seed). It's not a great move or anything, but it's not a bad move to teach some of your Pokemon at this point in the game. Try not to teach it to something like Bellsprout or Chikorita, who learn much better moves by default. It might be worth teaching to Hoppip, because although it learns it at level 19, it's a long time to suffer with just Tackle in its offensive arsenal.
Near the end of the route, you'll see a guy lurking about, looking like he wants to sell you something. He WANTS to sell you some Slowpoketail for only $100, but he's apparently out or something, because he won't let you buy any. Business is tough! But at least he doesn't force you to cough up $100 when you pass like he did in Gold and Silver.
There's also a Pokemon Center here for your convenience. You may find Kanako hidden in the trees behind the Pokemon Center if it's Friday (according to your DS clock), and if it is, you'll get a Poison Barb to power up your Poison-type attacks. Awesome! (Well, sorta...)
Heal up your Pokemon in the Pokemon Center, and also be sure to talk to the Fisherman inside of it to get yourself the Old Rod. You can use that to fish up things like Magikarp, Magikarp, maybe a Goldeen, but mostly Magikarp. Actually it will catch more than just Magikarp, but it's just rather unlikely.

After the lone Bird Keeper past the Pokemon Center, you'll find a rock that you can smash with Rock Smash by the trees to your right. Smash 'em and you'll pick up the Shell Bell, a useful item to help keep your Pokemon healed by healing its HP whenever it does damage with an attack (based on how much damage it did).
Now just go into the Union Cave to your left with your Pokemon healed and you'll be on your way to Azalea Town in no time!
