Pokemon Fan Club
The Kanto chapter of the Pokémon Fan Club is located in Vermilion. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every region.

In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles.

Surge, are not present.

In the house to the left of the Pokemon Center, a man will sell fishing rods to players. He will sell Old Rods, Good Rods, Great Rods, and Ultra Rods for an expensive price.
