Vermilion is a very important city in these games. It connects you back to route 2 which you couldn't get back to until now. It got a gym, fishing areas and more.
==Pokémon Found==
After the city itself, moored on the dock, is a large luxury liner, the '''S.S. Anne''', which needs to be explored before it's possible to access this city's gym. Head to the dock and take on S.S. Anne right after checking out the city. However, you must have the S.S ticket in order to get on it (you can get it in Route 25 if you haven't gotten it yet).
Lt. Surge is the leader. He's standing behind an electric field. You must activate two electric switches (which look like trash bins) to open the field. Stand next to a switch and press A to activate it. The second switch is always next to the first switch. Find the right combination by trial and error.
This is an electric-type gym. Electric Pokémon are weak against ground-type attacks and electric-type attacks don't affect ground-type Pokémon. Using a ground-type Pokémon isn't a bad idea. Lt. Surge's best Pokémon is Raichu, fast and somewhat high leveled. It also uses {{bpm|Double Team}}, which causes your attacks to miss more often.

*If you own a {{bp|Geodude}}, use it to beat the gym. It will help against Lt. Surge's Pokémon, which do laughable damage, thanks to Geodude's immunity to Electric, resist to Normal and high Defense stat. Use {{bpm|Magnitude}} to defeat them.
*{{bp|Diglett}} is also very useful for beating the gym. It's fast and learns Magnitude too. Digletts can be found nearby in Diglett's Cave. It's recommended to use either of these two Pokémon.

Lt. Surge will award you the '''Thunder Badge''' upon defeat. This badge will slightly increase the Speed of your Pokemon, and allow you to use Fly outside of battle. Lt. Surge will also award you TM34 {{bpm|Shock Wave}}, a decent electric-type move that is unaffected by Accuracy losses.
There is a deck that leads to the S.S Anne ship, you can get the HM01 {{bpm|Cut}} there. However, you have got to have the S.S ticket in order to get on it (you can get it in route 25 if you haven't gotten it yet).
==Gym Battle==
You will fight Lt. Surge in this gym. You must have HM01 {{bpm|Cut}} in order to get in the gym.

normal Pokémon. But since he can't ever evolve, he really won't get much better than he is right now. He is typically not relied upon in competition.

===Vs. Seeker===
The Vs. Seeker is a device which allows you to fight trainers that you have fought before. You can find it in Vermilion's Pokémon Center.
==Key items==
===Old Rod===
* The '''Vs. Seeker''' can be found in Vermilion's Pokémon Center. Highly recommended, it allows rematches with previously defeated trainers, making it easy to train Pokémon and earn money. The trainers may display stronger Pokémon and different dialogue in the rematches. Some trainers change more than once, requiring more than one rematch. There isn't quite a way to know which trainers change.
Finaly you can start fishing. You can get the old rod from the house next to the Pokémon Center, just talk to the fisherman there. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the old rod can only catch lvl 5 {{bp|Magikarp}}.
* The '''Old Rod''' allows for fishing and is obtained from the house next to the Pokémon Center. However, it disappointingly mostly catches low level {{bp|Magikarp}}.
