Tips
- Help Bill in the Sea Cottage and he rewards you with the S.S. Ticket, needed to board the S.S. Anne in Vermilion City.
- Abra can be caught in the grass in both versions (Abra is fairly common), and Oddish is FireRed only while Bellsprout is LeafGreen only.
- TM43 Secret Power is lying on the ground, and Elixir, Ether, Oran Berry and Bluk Berry are hidden items.
- The Hikers and Youngsters on the route give decent experience if you are under-levelled for the S.S. Anne.
- Psyduck (FireRed) or Slowpoke (LeafGreen) can be found by Surfing here.
