Pokémon G/S Walkthrough - Chapter 15

Vermilion City

Revisiting the Old World

So you've beaten the Elite Four and still are itching for more things to do? Here's what's next. Go talk to Professor Elm in New Bark Town and get the SS Anne Ticket. Then head to Olivine City and enter the SS Aqua through the passage that was previously blocked by a guy.

 

SS Aqua

Now that you're on the SS Aqua you can go around battling the gym trainers aboard. To get off you first have to find a man's granddaughter who is with the captain of the ship. To get there you must find a lazy Sailor who is in the room next to yours. Battle him so you can get past another Sailor blocking your way later in the ship. Find the girl, and you'll be sent back to the Grandpa's cabin. He'll give you Metal Coat for your troubles. Metal Coat increases the strength of Steel attacks. Note: If you decide to go back onto the SS Aqua for a second time you must go to your room and sleep in your bed if you ever want to get off the boat again.

  

Rare Candy

Go talk to this guy and you'll get a Rare Candy to listen to his ramblings.

Vermilion City Gym - Lt. Surge

You won't have to do Surge's stupid little trash can secret switch puzzle to get to him. You'll have to fight a couple guys though, but you should do it anyways to gain more experience. Lt. Surge's Pokémon shouldn't be too tough. Especially if you have a Ground Pokémon like Graveler or Sandslash. Dig or another Ground type move should render his Pokémon helpless. After you beat Surge, he'll give you his Thunder Badge which will increase your Pokémon's Speed.
