Crystal Goldenrod Underground
Beneath Goldenrod, the Underground is a bargain arcade of basement shops on normal days. Once Team Rocket takes over the city it turns into your back way into the Radio Tower, where your rival ambushes you in the tunnels.
Goldenrod Underground is in Johto. In the story you arrive from Goldenrod City through its entrance and it comes before Route 35.
