Badge 3: Lt. Surge (FireRed / LeafGreen)

From Cerulean to the Vermilion Gym: Nugget Bridge, Bill's cottage and the S.S. Ticket, the Underground Path, the S.S. Anne and Cut, then Lt. Surge.

1 Nugget Bridge, Route 25 and the S.S. Ticket

North of Cerulean, Route 24 (Nugget Bridge) leads to Route 25 and the seaside cottage. Bill, stuck in his machine, asks you to start cell separation on his PC; in return he gives the S.S. Ticket (setflag FLAG_GOT_SS_TICKET, and FLAG_HIDE_NUGGET_BRIDGE_ROCKET removes the grunt from the bridge).

2 Route 5, Underground Path, Route 6

Back in Cerulean, Route 5 south, the north-south Underground Path, then Route 6 to Vermilion City. The Saffron gate (without the Tea, FLAG_GOT_TEA) refuses entry, so this route avoids it.

3 The S.S. Anne: Cut

At the pier the sailor checks the ticket at (22, 33) and (23, 33) (VermilionCity_EventScript_CheckTicket: FLAG_GOT_SS_TICKET). On board the rival waits in the 2F corridor (SSAnne_2F_Corridor, VAR_MAP_SCENE_S_S_ANNE_2F_CORRIDOR). The captain, in his cabin, gives HM01 Cut (setflag FLAG_GOT_HM01, VAR_MAP_SCENE_VERMILION_CITY becomes 1); the ship then leaves.

4 The Gym — badge 3

A cut tree guards the Gym door. Inside, the way to Lt. Surge is shut by an electric barrier: you have to find the two switches hidden in the trash cans (FLAG_FOUND_BOTH_VERMILION_GYM_SWITCHES). After him: FLAG_DEFEATED_LT_SURGE, FLAG_BADGE03_GET.
