Vermilion City is the first stop for the luxury liner S.S. Anne, now on its annual Pokémon cruise. It's full of rival trainers, but for now keep focused on a few interesting pleasures in the city itself, including the chance to get a Bike Voucher! Then, after you finish on the ship, return here to challenge the shocking local Gym Leader, Lt. Surge. | '''Vermilion City is the first stop for the luxury liner S.S.

She is hoping that you will take good care of it. It's only Level 10, so it'll take a while to train, but you won't get many other Water-types for a while. With the trainers at [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 11|Route 11]] and the Digletts at [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Diglett's Cave|Diglett's Cave]] however, it can catch up with the rest of this game's Pokémon levels quickly. | ||

Farfetch'd isn't really a good in-game Pokémon to be honest but it can be useful as a HM slave and can learn the Cut, an HM move which will be needed after the S.S Anne. | |||

Convince the man in the building west of the Pokémon Center that you love fishing as much as he does and he'll take a shine to you. He will give you his '''Old Rod''' as a gift! Now you can use it near any body of water and get... a {{bp|Magikarp}}. Or... another Magikarp. Yes, that's all this rod catches.

An item slightly cooler than the Old Rod can be found at the Pokémon Fan Club, located directly above the Gym.

Anne) to hack down a bush and reach the [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Vermilion City|Vermilion City]] Gym entrance. Once inside, you'll be confronted by a few trainers and a double-locked door. To reach [[bulbapedia:Lt. Surge|Lt. Surge]], you'll have to find the two switches hidden in the trash cans on the floor. The switches are randomly located, but once you find one, the second will be right next to it. If you don't get it on your first try, the switches will reset and move and you'll have to search again. One trick that you can do is to find the first switch, then save your game, then find the second switch, and if you get the wrong trash can, you can then reset the game which would bring you back to where you have already activated the first switch and try finding the second switch again. | ||
While Lt.Surge's {{bp|Voltorb}} and {{bp|Pikachu}} in Red and Blue are pretty easy to deal with, {{bp|Raichu}} can pose a slight threat, but Ground-type Pokémon like {{bp|Geodude}} and {{bp|Sandshrew}} are completely immune to its Electric attacks (and the former resists its Normal-type moves as well), and your Electric and Grass Pokémon resist them. For offense you can use your own Ground-type attack, Dig, for devastating damage since his Pokémon have weak defense stats.

Your prizes include the '''Thunder Badge''' and '''TM24''', which can teach the powerful Electric-type attack Thunderbolt to a variety of Pokémon. This includes Pikachu, although in the Yellow version it'll learn it by itself at level 26, so you may want to use it on something else, or save it for another Electric Pokémon. Additionally, the Thunder Badge increases your Pokémon's speed stat by 12.5% for in-game battles only. | Your prizes include the '''Thunder Badge''' and '''TM24''', which can teach the powerful Electric-type attack Thunderbolt to a variety of Pokémon.
