Follow this guide to navigate Routes 16, 17, and 18 to reach Fuchsia City and challenge Leader Janine for the Soul Badge and TM06 (Toxic) in Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing the Celadon City Gym, head to the Pokemon Center in the northeastern part of the city to heal your Pokémon.
  2. 2
    Exit Celadon City to the west onto Route 16.
  3. 3
    Proceed west on Route 16 and enter the gatehouse. On the other side, board your Bicycle and head south onto Route 17.
  4. 4
    On Route 17, note that your Bicycle will automatically move south. You can steer left and right, but releasing the D-Pad will cause you to continue south.
  5. 5
    East of the Route 16-17 transition, find a patch of grass. In the third column of grass, aligned with the fourth pillar from the left rail, a Max Ether is hidden.
  6. 6
    South of the grass, follow the downhill paths. The right path passes one Trainer, while the left/middle paths pass two.
  7. 7
    At the bottom of Route 17, where the path narrows and a wooden fence appears, examine the left of the two fenceposts to find a Max Elixir.
  8. 8
    Head southeast to the gatehouse onto Route 18.
  9. 9
    On Route 18, you can dismount your Bicycle. A Trainer is located near the end of the fence to the east, and another is in the grass to the south.
  10. 10
    Head east on Route 18 to reach Fuchsia City.
  11. 11
    In Fuchsia City, the Pokemon Center and Gym are in the southwestern part. Take the narrow path between the ledge and fence near the Route 18 exit.
  12. 12
    The Poke Mart is west of the Cut tree in the center of the city. A Burnt Berry tree is located far north of the Poke Mart.
  13. 13
    Enter the Fuschia City Gym. The puzzle involves invisible walls, marked by faint dots on the floor. A map can help visualize the path.
  14. 14
    You can optionally fight the Trainer north of the Gym entrance.
  15. 15
    Navigate through the Gym, generally following the outer wall, to reach Leader Janine in the west-central area.
  16. 16
    Challenge Leader Janine to a battle.
