Rock Tunnel is a two floor cave in eastern Kanto. It’s located in the middle of Route 10, and actually divides the route in two. To light up the cave, visit the eastern side of Route 2 after learning Chop Down. Professor Oak’s assistant will teach Light Up to your Partner Pokemon.

From the entrance, walk to the dead end in the east with the Repel. To the south is the path onward, but a Pokemon Trainer will challenge you to a battle before you can pass.
