Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Key Items
Two FireRed & LeafGreen key items hold up big chunks of the game. Saffron’s gatehouses won’t let you through without Tea from Celadon, and for the Sevii Islands you’ll need Celio, who takes the Ruby and Tri-Pass and gives you the Rainbow Pass. Berry Pouch and TM Case just appear with your first Berry or TM.
