#	Location	Repeatable?
1	Route 9. At the southwest edge on the ground near a hiker.	No

TM30 can be found near the start of Route 9 just outside of Cerulean City. You can get TM30 at any point after getting the S.S Ticket from Bill at his house on Route 25.

Note that you’ll need a Pokémon that knows HM01 Cut to chop down a tree blocking your path. And you’ll also need to defeat Misty and get the Cascadebadge to use Cut outside of battle.

Prerequisites

Obtain the Cascadebadge by defeating Misty in Cerulean City
Obtain HM01 Cut from the ship captain on the S.S. Anne in Vermillion City
Have a Pokémon in your party that knows Cut

Type	Psychic
Power	0
Accuracy	100%
PP	20 (max. 32)
Effect	User flees from battle. Outside of battle, it returns you to the last Pokémon Center you’ve visited.

As a battle move, Teleport is pretty ineffective. All it does is flee from battle. So as far as in-battle uses, Teleport can prove to be somewhat useful if you find yourself unable to run from a tough battle.

This only works when battling wild Pokémon, because you can’t use Teleport to flee from trainer battles.

However in a vast majority of cases, you’re better off just running from battle normally or switching to a stronger Pokémon.

Note: Outside of battle, Teleport can be used to return you to the last Pokémon Center you’ve visited. But it can’t be used inside buildings or caves. This can be very handy prior to getting HM02 Fly.
