Route 7 is an extremely short east-west route; in fact, it is one of the shortest routes in the world, serving only to connect Saffron City in the east to Celadon City in the west. From the gate separating Saffron from Route 8, the route heads west, passing a field of grass and the building housing the Underground Path before turning north, then west into Celadon. The morning sun lay in the sky like a perfect, unspoiled egg yolk. The sun poured out its brilliant hot oranges and reds into the horizon like a pot of molten lava. Ambrose is standing on the soft sun-warmed grass of early morning, home to the wild Pokémon of this route. Pride, the Starly, who is Ambrose's starter Pokémon, waits for an opponent within the sphere capturing device called, a Poké Ball.
