Vermilion City (Japanese: クチバシティ Kuchiba City) is a city in Kanto.
Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the S.S. Anne. Vermilion Harbor is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The S.S. Aqua sails from Olivine City in Johto to Vermilion Harbor. The Seagallop Ferries sail regularly to all of the Sevii Islands. Aside from the harbor, the other exits to the city are Route 11 and Diglett's Cave to the east. North of the city is Route 6.
Slogan
The Port of Exquisite Sunsets (Japanese, Generations I-III, VII: クチバはオレンジ夕焼けの色 Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.; Generation IV: ゆうやけいろのみなとまち The sunset-colored port town.)
Places of interest
Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" Lt. Surge, the Leader of the Electric-specialist Gym. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of Grimer could occur if the seas were ever polluted, as Celadon City suffers from this in Generations II and IV. In Generations I-IV, Wild Pokémon appear in the sea around the city.
Vermilion is also home to the Fan Club Chairman. He can be found in the Pokémon Fan Club house located just slightly north of the Gym. By talking to him, the player can obtain a voucher for a free bike,RBYFRLG, a Rare Candy,GSCHGSS, or special clothing sets.PE

Vermilion Gym
- Main article: Vermilion Gym
Vermilion Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen
The Vermilion Gym is the official Gym of Vermilion City. Its Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, focuses on Electric-type Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him receive the Thunder Badge. The Vermilion Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and Trainers are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in Generation I, and an electric fence in Generation III and VII. The only way to get in the final room in these generations, where Lt. Surge is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the player incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In Generation II, these traps are not turned on. After Lt. Surge is defeated, he will give the player the Thunder Badge, TM24 (Thunderbolt)RBY/TM34 (Shock Wave)FRLGHGSS/TM36 (Thunderbolt)PE, Surge's AutographPE, and the ability to use Fly outside of battle.RBYFRLG
Construction site
In the northeastern part of the city, there is an old man whose Machop is preparing a plot of land for construction of a building. They still have not finished three years after he started in Generation I, as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause a glitch in Generation II. In Generation IV, the construction site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game; there are many breakable rocks surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as Shards, Heart Scales, and other valuable items.
In-game trade
In one of the houses south and a little east of the Pokémon Center is a girl that wants to trade the player a Farfetch'd for a Pidgey (in Japanese Blue) or Spearow.RBYFRLG The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "Ch'ding" in Generation III or "Dux" in Generation I, and it will be holding a Stick in Generation III. The OT will be "Elyssa" and its ID will be 08810. The Pokémon's level will be the same as the one that the player traded.
Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, Ch'ding's original Trainer data defines Elyssa as male. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if Ch'ding is traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald or transferred forward to Generation IV (via Pal Park), the OT name is shown colored blue.
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, this house is occupied by a Gentleman who owns a Farfetch'd, again nicknamed Dux like the girl from Generation I's Farfetch'd, but he instead intends to catch Spearow himself.
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee, a Hiker in the Pokémon Center will trade an Alolan form Geodude for a Geodude from Kanto. This can be done repeatedly.
Fishing Brother
In Generations I and III, a man known as the Fishing Guru can be found in Vermilion City who gives away an Old Rod to the player. Later (in Generations II and IV), he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the Fishing Brothers.
Sleeping Pokémon notice
There's a notice in Generations I, III, and VII near the entrance to Diglett's Cave about a sleeping Pokémon that's blocking Route 12, advising people wishing to go to Lavender Town to detour through the Rock Tunnel instead in the meantime.

Generation VII
Post-Hall of Fame
Differences among generations
Much has changed from Generation I to Generation III. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the Pokémon Fan Club has been redesigned and expanded. The S.S. Anne's port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In Generation II nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into Route 11 near Diglett's Cave and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the S.S. Aqua transports passengers to and from Olivine City in Johto. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, Trainers had to use a Pokégear tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the Generation II games. In Generation IV, Diglett's Cave is pushed back to Route 11.
In the spin-off games

In the anime
Vermilion City in the
animeMain series
Vermilion City debuted in Electric Shock Showdown, where Ash battled Lt. Surge for his third Badge. The harbor appeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne, when Ash, Misty, and Brock boarded the St. Anne.
O has a Pokémon Ping-Pong center, where he is training Dawn's Ambipom, in Vermilion City.
In Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!, Ash and his friends' tour of the Decolore Islands ended at Vermilion City. The city was shown to have a local train station, with Iris and Cilan taking the train to Saffron City in order to board the Magnet Train there. Alexa also bought Cloyster boxed lunches for the two, which is exclusively sold in Vermilion City.
In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Vermilion City had a prominent role as the hometown of Goh and Chloe. Professor Cerise's aptly-named Cerise Laboratory was officially opened there in Legend? Go! Friends? Go!. Goh and Ash became Cerise's research assistants after documenting their chance encounter with a Lugia, and currently reside at the Cerise Laboratory. Professor Cerise's daughter Chloe also lives in the city and attends a local school. In Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!, Chloe was shown to live in a house with her father, mother, and younger brother. In A Snow Day for Searching!, Goh was shown to have grown up in an apartment building with his father, mother, and grandmother. In A Crackling Raid Battle!, the Kanto Power Plant was revealed to be located near Vermilion City.
In Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!, an outbreak of Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, a part of natural phenomena known as the "Ivysaur march", was causing traffic and minor chaos across the city. The Grass Pokémon made their way to their former grassland, to the north of Vermilion, which is now a construction site for a new Gym. After scaling the building, the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur evolved together and released pollen into the air, causing all of the city's flowers to bloom.
In Crowning the Chow Crusher!, Ash, Goh, and Team Rocket participated in the Pokémon Grand Eating Contest in Vermilion City, with Goh eventually winning.
Ash and Goh both left Vermilion City in JN136 to start traveling on their own. Ash revisited the city in JN141 alongside Brock and Misty. During said visit, he briefly reunited with his Squirtle and the Squirtle Squad, and helped them in dealing with a warehouse fire.

Pokémon Origins
Although Vermilion City was never properly seen in Pokémon Origins, Red recalled having visited it prior to the events of File 2: Cubone. During his visit, he obtained the HM for Cut from the captain of S.S. Anne and earned the Thunder Badge by defeating Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Vermilion City is split into two main areas; the center city and the harbor. The Kanto Pokémon Fan Club headquarters is located in the center city. Some of the citizens are Poké Fans and Sailors.
Vermilion City first appeared in Danger: High Voltorb and Buzz Off, Electabuzz!. After arriving, Red learned that many people in the city had gotten their Pokémon stolen. Red decided to investigate the S.S. Anne, where he learned that the local Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, was behind the thefts and was using the ship to transport the stolen Pokémon away. Surge almost succeeded in drowning Red, but was saved by his newly evolved Poliwrath. Although Surge managed to get away, his Sailor underlings were arrested and the stolen Pokémon aboard the ship were returned to their rightful owners.
Vermilion City reappeared in Ekans the Ecstasy. Just when Yellow arrived there aboard the S.S. Anne, which was now transporting passengers instead of stolen Pokémon, the Team Rocket Elite Trio sabotaged the ship. Although Yellow was able to save all of the passengers, the ship was still sunk at the harbor.
In The Kindest Tentacruel, the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman told Yellow of a legend about an underwater dome at the bottom of the Vermilion Harbor. Inside the dome was supposedly a set of unique Evolution stones that didn't disappear after being used, with one of these stones being behind the Evolution of Red's Poliwrath three years earlier. Yellow was later lead to the dome by a Tentacruel, only to find out that the Thunder, Water, and Fire Stones were missing, meaning that she wasn't the first one to have found the place.
In Breath of Dragonair Part 1, while thinking about a way to cross the ocean without Surf, Yellow learned of a surfing contest, where the main prize was going to be a Dragonair, an excellent Pokémon for crossing the sea. However, before the contest could even begin, the "prize" Dragonair started attacking everyone, as it actually belonged to Lance, who used its Hyper Beam to obliterate most of Vermilion City, as he claimed it was obstructing his view. When Lance started to leave, Yellow gave chase. Lance proved to be an overwhelmingly strong opponent and sent Yellow sinking into the sea. However, thanks to Pika learning Surf, Yellow was able to save herself from drowning and start crossing the sea.
In Now You See Me..., Red and Blue flew to Vermilion to board the Seagallop for One Island. In Start the Countdown, Starmie, the Seagallop returned to Vermilion, carrying Blue, Green, Green's parents, Lorelei, Ultima, and Professor Oak, at the same time that the Team Rocket airship, which Red was trying to control, was about to crash somewhere in Vermilion. Although Red was able to prevent the Forretress aboard the airship from exploding, the aircraft still nearly crash-landed, but thankfully, Mew was able to lower it safely to the ground. Afterwards, Sird appeared on the scene, attempting to make one last attempt to capture Deoxys, but although she failed, the clash between her Pokémon and Mewtwo's attacks led to the Pokédex holders present being turned to stone.
Pokémon Zensho
Vermilion City appeared in Vermilion City, where it was visited by Satoshi. With the S.S. Ticket he had received from Bill, he visited the S.S. Anne and met the ship's seasick captain. After the captain had recovered from his seasickness, he talked with Satoshi for a while, before Satoshi headed to the Vermilion Gym to challenge Lt. Surge. The Gym battle between Surge's Electabuzz and Satoshi's Charmeleon ended in Satoshi's victory, earning him the Thunder Badge. Afterwards, the captain of the S.S. Anne came to congratulate him of his victory, giving him HM01 (Cut) before leaving with his ship.
Trivia
- Vermilion City and Cinnabar Island are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since vermilion (クチバ kuchiba, "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while crimson (グレン guren, "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral cinnabar. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red in the Generation I games when played with the Super Game Boy enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the Game Boy Color enhancements available in the international releases of Pokémon Yellow (including the Virtual Console release).
Origin
- Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto
Geographically, Vermilion City appears to be based on Chiba, the capital city of Chiba Prefecture. However, its design, especially as it appears in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, seems to be mostly based on Yokohama, the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture. Additionally, during the announcement for the 2023 Pokémon World Championships, The Pokémon Company used a trailer with footage of Vermilion City taken from the Generation I games before announcing that the event would be held in Yokohama.[1]
Vermilion City may also be inspired by Yokosuka, which has a United States Navy base, a possible inspiration for Vermilion Gym and Lt. Surge as an "American" soldier.
