Look at these spiders! Creepy! Well, they only have 6 legs, so maybe they aren't spiders, but they do crawl across those webs. How it works is that they will ALWAYS cross when there's a turn. They'll never go straight ahead, but will always turn. So you look at it and you think to yourself, "Hmmm, where will this spider go...?" Or you just read this guide and I'll tell you where it'll go!

For the first part, taking the middle spider will take you to Bug Catcher Noruyuki. The right spider will take you to a dead end. You want to take the spider on the left. That'll lead you to the second Bug Catcher and the second area.

Now it gets even more confusing, because there are levers that you have to flick that change the position of the respective color's web. If you don't flick any switches, you'll lead yourself over to the Twins. Hey, that'll be your first Double Battle of the game! Flicking that first blue switch will disable the blue web and will cause the spider to lead you over to Bug Catcher Tomomichi and his Paras. No switches over there, though.

How do you get to Bugsy then? Don't flick the first blue switch but instead flick the one over by the Twins. Then take the spider over to the red switch, flick it, and you're right in front of the Gym Leader. Get ready to take on Bugsy, the Bug-type Gym Leader!

Boss Fight
	Leader Bugsy			$1800
		Scyther	/	Lv. 17 681 EXP
		Metapod		Lv. 15 231 EXP
		Kakuna	/	Lv. 15 228 EXP

Bugsy doesn't mess around and he (is it she, now? why all female Pokemon?) starts the fight out with his most powerful Pokemon, his Scyther. Unlike the old Gold and Silver, this Scyther can rip you apart if you're not careful. It has Quick Attack, which strikes first no matter what. That's the attack you'll probably see most of the time, unless you're using Bayleef. It also has Focus Energy, which increases the chances of it getting a critical hit against you, as well as Leer to soften your defenses, should you try counter with Defense Curl or something. Be very careful with that Scyther! It has a Sitrus Berry to heal it when it gets weak, plus Bugsy can pop a Super Potion whenever Scyther or any of his Pokemon get weakened, too.

But what about after that Scyther? Well the rest of his team is a joke. Metapod and Kakuna? Really? Yeah, really. The worst you have to worry about from them is a Poison Sting and String Shot. Boohoo. They're basically just free experience points.

Still having trouble with Bugsy and his Scyther? Rock-type Pokemon like Geodude and Onix are great against Bugsy and can withstand plenty of blows from Scyther. If any of your Pokemon can learn Rock Tomb, you'll find that it works remarkably well against Bugsy's Scyther in case using a Geodude or Onix isn't in the cards.

After beating him, you'll receive the Hive Badge, which makes it so traded Pokemon up to level 30 will obey you. He'll also give you TM89 (U-Turn), a fairly strong Bug-type move (70-power) that forces the user to switch after it does damage. Kind of nifty. Much better than the old Fury Cutter. Lastly, you can also use Cut outside of battle. Now to get out of here, just flick that blue lever beside Bugsy and you'll be lead out.

Now it's time for you to head through the Ilex Forest on your way to the next city, Goldenrod City! If you haven't fought your rival yet, you're going to have to fight him (see the previous section) on your way to the Ilex Forest, so make sure you go heal your Pokemon right after beating Bugsy if this is an issue to you!
