How to Use Flash in a Rock Tunnel

In the original "Pokemon" Red and Blue games for the Nintendo Game Boy the goal is to collect all 151 of the monsters roaming the land. In order to get to areas where you can catch all of the Pokemon, you must pass through a section of the game called the Rock Tunnel. This area is very dark the first time you enter it, but by using a special ability called Flash, you can create light and see what is ahead of you.

Instructions

- 1
  Go to the entrance to Route 11 on your map. Here you will find a cave entrance. Enter this cave and follow the path here to exit the other side. When you exit, you will find Professor Oak. Talk to him and he will give you the "Flash HM" item as long as you have at least 15 Pokemon in your collection.

  Enter the Pause menu when you get the "Flash HM" and select the "Items" menu. Select the "Flash HM" from the list. You will now be able to select an electric type Pokemon to whom to teach the "Flash" ability. Select a Pokemon from your list and they will now have the ability, which can be used in battle and in the Rock Tunnel area.
