== Return to New Bark ==

Congratulations, you are now the Indigo League {{pkmn|Champion}}!  That major accomplishment means that you are the strongest Trainer in all of Johto and Kanto.  However, just because the League is behind you, that doesn't mean the game is over. <br>
After the credits roll, you wind up back at your house in {{to|New Bark}}.  Take a step in any direction, and you'll get a call from {{prof|Elm}}, asking you to stop in the lab.  Swing by to get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|S.S. Ticket}}, a pass to board the [[S.S. Aqua]].  {{m|Fly}} off to Olivine, and head to the harbor to catch the ferry to [[Vermilion City]]!

== Fast Ship S.S. Aqua ==
[[Image:SS Aqua.png|thumb|right|S.S. Aqua]]

Upon boarding the ship, an old man will run into you.  His granddaughter is missing, and asks for your help before running off.  First thing's first, though - check out your cabin at the west end of the hallway.  It has a PC and a cozy bed to heal your Pokémon, good to have with all of these Trainers onboard. <br><br>
You need to search every room to find the missing girl, but she can't have gotten too far.

Step out of your cabin, and check out those other rooms.  The nearest cabin is empty, but the room beyond that has a Hiker.  The northeast cabin is another empty room.  Walk down the eastern hallway, past the stairs, and check the rooms on the south side.  The room closest to the stairs is the grandfather's room.  Room #6 hosts two battles, a {{tc|Pokéfan}} and a pair of {{tc|Twins}}.  Cabin #7 is also empty, and the southwest cabin has a single {{tc|Firebreather}}. <br><br>
You've inspected the cabins on this floor and still no luck, so try the lower floor.  The sailor here blocks your way, asking you to track down another sailor for their shift change.  The missing sailor is loitering around in Cabin #2, next door to your room.  Beat him in a battle, and he'll head back to his post.  A {{tc|Juggler}} is hunched over a trash can on the lower floor, but somehow has enough strength to battle.  Battle past the {{tc|Sailor}} and the {{tc|Picnicker}}, and take the stairs in the southwest to get to the Captain's room.

You'll find the girl with the Captain; she's bored out of her mind, and is desperately trying to get the Captain to play with her.  Once she realizes that her grandfather's worried about her, she runs off, and you both end up in the old man's room.  For baby-sitting the little girl, her grandfather gives you a [[Metal Coat]], a power-up item for {{type|Steel}} and an integral part of a few trade evolutions.  As soon as he's done talking, the speaker system alerts passengers that the [[S.S. Aqua|ferry]] has docked in {{ci|Vermilion}} harbor.

== Vermilion City ==
[[File:Vermilion_City_GSC.png|thumb|300px|right|Vermilion City]]

[[Vermilion City]] is the first Kanto city you'll visit.  Not much has changed over the past three years, though the land around [[Diglett's Cave]] has shifted a little.  The old man is still clearing the ground for construction with his {{p|Machop}}, and a {{p|Snorlax}} has taken up residence on the east side. <br><br>
Shop at the Mart if you're in need of [[Potion]]s or [[Poké Ball]]s, then visit the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] on the city's west side, north of the Gym.

=== Pokémon Fan Club ===

Listen to the Chairman's rambling story about his {{p|Rapidash}}, and he'll give you a [[Rare Candy]] for listening to the whole thing.  Take note of the guy with the {{p|Clefairy}} - it's actually a [[Poké Doll]] that you'll need to take to its owner later. <br>

Now let's take on the first Kanto Gym!

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|VERMILION CITY <br> POKéMON GYM <br> LEADER: LT. SURGE <br> The Lightning <br> American!}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

The [[Vermilion Gym]] specializes in {{type|Electric}}s, so your {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Rock}}s will have the easiest time here.  Avoid bringing {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Flying}}s unless they are higher-leveled, or they won't last very long.  [[Lt. Surge]] has three recruits in his Gym, but his trash can puzzle from three years ago is inactive, so you can walk right up to him for a battle.  Look out for any {{m|explosion}}s, and Lt. Surge will go down without a problem.

After the battle, [[Lt. Surge|Surge]] awards you with the {{badge|Thunder}}, which increases your Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}}.  Unlike the Johto Gym Leaders, their Kanto counterparts aren't as inclined to give out [[TM]]s (in fact, only two of them do). <br><br>
With Lt. Surge defeated, head north to {{rt|6|Kanto}}.
