Vermilion City
Vermilion City Guide
Vermilion City is Yellow’s orange harbor, where the S.S. Anne, the Fan Club, Diglett’s Cave, Lt. Surge, and a loyal Squirtle all meet.
Arrive and look around
Vermilion smells like salt air and ship smoke, and Yellow makes the city feel especially generous. The dock leads to SS Anne 1F, the Pokemon Fan Club sits in town, Diglett's Cave opens to the east, and an Officer is waiting with a troublesome Squirtle.
What to do here
Use Bill’s S.S. Ticket to board the ship, explore its cabins, battle your rival, and help the captain for HM01. Visit the Fan Club chairman for the Bike Voucher, pick up the Old Rod, and search for the hidden Max Ether. Once you can Cut, beat Lt. Surge for the Thunder Badge and TM24, then talk to the Officer for a level 10 Squirtle.
Come back with a reason
Return for Squirtle if you rushed away after the Gym, for the Bike Voucher exchange in Cerulean, or for Diglett’s Cave when the eastern tunnel makes early Kanto easy to revisit.
