There is quite a lot to do here. The Vermilion Gym is blocked of due to a small tree, so you can't go there just yet.

Head to the Pokémon Center to heal, then speak to the girl left of the counter and she will give you the especially helpful Vs. Seeker. With this item, you can fight Trainers you've previously battled, as long as you give the Vs. Seeker enough time between recharges to do so.

The Poké Mart has the following items:

Poké Mart Poké Ball 200 Super Potion 700 Antidote 100 Parlyz Heal 200 Awakening 250 Ice Heal 250 Repel 350

Next to the Pokémon Center is a house where one of the Fishing Gurus in the game is. He will give you an Old Rod, which will only catch Lv. 5 Magikarp. This may or may not be useless if you already have the Magikarp from the man at the Pokémon Center by Mt. Moon. The two better rods, the Good Rod and the Super Rod, can be obtained later in the game.

Go inside the green-roofed building, which is the Pokémon Fan Club. Listen to the Chairman's rambling thoughts about his Rapidash to receive a Bike Voucher. This can be exchanged at the Bike Shop in Cerulean to get a Bicycle. We'll get it when we go back up there.

In the house between the Fan Club and the Poké Mart is a girl who will trade her Farfetch'd for your Spearow. It is nicknamed "Ch'Ding." This is a valuable Pokémon due to it being the only Farfetch'd in the game. It can also learn both Cut and Fly, two HMs that can help you on your journey so you don't have to use them on other Pokémon. It is holding a Stick, a Farfetch'd-exclusive item that raises its critical hit ratio by two stages.

The key events in Vermilion (besides the Gym) revolve around the docked boat, the S.S. Anne. Because you have that ticket from Bill handy, head to the dock and board the ship. You won't be able to take on the Vermilion Gym until you're done with the ship.

From the entrance to the ship, you will find several doors. Many of them lead to trainer battles, while some have items that are hidden in them.

Let's start on the right side, top row. Inside is a Gentleman who will battle you.

Back to the main deck, go up the stairs on the left side. If you want, you can go up the stairs just south of those, and head down the hallway. You'll now be at the front of the ship, outside. There are only two trainers you find out here, both Sailors.

He taunts you then runs off. Head up to the Captain's room. He is very seasick and hunched over a trash can. Talk to him and you'll give him a backrub. Afterwards, he feels a lot better and gives you HM01 (Cut). With this in hand, you can get past the tree blocking your way to the Vermilion Gym.

After defeating all the trainers on board and getting Cut from the Captain, you can abandon ship. The S.S. Anne will then depart from the harbor. However, if you still haven't faced a trainer and you black out (after talking to the Captain), the S.S. Anne will stay there. It's your choice. Head back to Vermilion.

Vermilion City

Go to to the Pokémon Center, heal if needed, and withdraw a Pokémon that can learn Cut. The Farfetch'd you obtained from the in-game trade earlier will work, or you can choose someone else. When that is all said and done, go down and use Cut on the tree blocking the Gym, and head inside.

You must solve a puzzle to progress to Lt. Surge. You need to check each of the pails found throughout the area and, when you find the first switch, check one of the adjacent pails for the other switch to lower the energy field in front of Lt. Surge. The locations of the switches are random, so keep looking for them until the gate drops.

After defeating Lt. Surge, you get the  Thunder Badge, as well as TM34 (Shock Wave) to add to your collection. You can also use the move Fly outside of battle.

From here, head east onto Route 11.
