Crystal Route 2

Trees line this road north of Viridian past the edge of Viridian Forest, with Diglett's Cave tunneling clear through to Pewter at its far end.

Route 2 is in Kanto, with Viridian City to the south. In the story you arrive from Diglett's Cave through its entrance and continue north to Pewter City.
