Appendix:Pokémon Crystal Walkthrough/Part 17

## New Bark Town

When the game restarts, you'll be back at your house in New Bark Town. Walk down a step and Professor Elm will call you because he has a gift for you for becoming the Champion. Go to his lab and talk to him to get an S.S. Ticket. This lets you ride the S.S. Aqua from Olivine City to Vermilion City in Kanto.

To start the Celebi event, only in the Virtual Console version of Pokémon Crystal, you’ll first have to defeat the Elite Four and the Champion. After you’ve become the Champion, fly to Goldenrod City. Once there, go to the Pokémon Center and try to leave. The nurse there should give you the GS Ball. Now fly to Azalea Town and give the GS Ball to Kurt. You’ll have to wait 24 hours in real time before you can continue. After Kurt has inspected the GS Ball for a full day, you can take it back and bring it to the shrine in Ilex Forest, which will cause Celebi to appear.

Head down to Olivine City.

## Olivine City

Go down to the harbor, just between the Pokémon Center and the Lighthouse.

## S.S. Aqua

Once you board, a frantic old gentleman runs into you and asks for your help finding his missing granddaughter. You can go into your cabin, which is the top left room. It has a PC and a bed you can rest in. There are lots of trainers on board, so this is vital.

Go two rooms over and you can find a trainer.

Go around to the room at the bottom nearest to the stairs. You'll find the old man looking for his granddaughter. Go to the next room. In it, you'll find a PokéFan and some Twins.

The next room over is empty, so go one more room over and you'll be able to battle a Firebreather.

The little girl still hasn't been found. Go down the stairs and head up. The Sailor there will block your path. Talk to him and he'll ask you to help him track down his buddy. Go to the cabin next to yours that was previously vacant. He is found there, so talk to him and he'll battle you.

After defeating him, he returns to his post. So return to the basement floor and go around the other Sailor, now that you're free to. He says he might have seen the little girl go by here.

Go into the room by the garbage can and talk to the Juggler, who is seasick but battles you anyway.

Go into the next room over and battle the Sailor.

Just above the room is a Picnicker.

Go up the stairs. There is one room: the Captain's room. In it, you'll find the little girl apparently bothering the poor Captain. She turns to you and realizes her grandfather is worried about her, so both of you go back there. The grandfather will give you a Metal Coat as thanks. This can raise the power of Steel-type moves.

After this, the S.S. Aqua will have set sail in Vermilion City.

The ship will sail now from Johto to Kanto on Mondays and Fridays and from Kanto to Johto on Wednesdays and Sundays.

## Vermilion City

Head up from the harbor. If you go right, you'll notice a giant Snorlax blocking the way to Diglett's Cave. Head to the Pokémon Center and heal up after all that battling, then head to the house above the Gym on the left. This is the Pokémon Fan Club. Talk to the President and listen to his long story about his beloved Rapidash, then he'll give you a Rare Candy. Also, you can talk to the man at the table with the Clefairy doll.

There is also the Poké Mart.

There is nothing else of interest, so use Cut on the tree blocking the way to the Gym (or just use Surf), and enter it.

### Vermilion Gym

Unlike in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the hidden switches are broken, so feel free to battle all the trainers and walk straight through to Lt. Surge.

After you defeat him, Lt. Surge hands out the  Thunder Badge. However, he does not give you a TM. Only two Gym Leaders will hand out a TM in Kanto.

Obviously you can't pass the Snorlax, so head north onto Route 6.
