Pokemon Gold/Silver: Pathways to Adventure follows Taylor and his pals on the adventures in the Pokemon Gold/Silver Game Boy games. This novelization follows Ash's adventures in Johto, the new land in Gold/Silver. It's a companion to Pokemon Gold/Silver: The Adventure Continues!: Pathways to Adventure, and features many new characters including Hoothoot, Lugia, Chikorita and Totodile. The novelization can be read purely as a story set in the Pokemon world, but it also includes hints, clues, and strategies for succeeding in the first portion of the games.
