use cut on the patch of grass on the side of the fence then walk in and voila!
he is the vermillion city gym leader.
you can just battle people and they might give you there phone number
On Fridays before 10 a.m., Lt. Surge is at the Power Plant. If you give him a Pikachu from the Viridian Forest, he'll trade you for his French Pikachu. Once the exchange is done, you can get his phone number.
They're randomly in the trash cans, and mix up every time you make a mistake. You don't need to battle Lt. Surge though. On my cartridge, he does nothing but gives you advice.
it really depends on what pokemon you have in your party.. bad pokemon for misty: any geodudes,onix,nido's or sandshrews = K.O bad pokemon for lt.surge: squirtle,pidgey or spearow ect. the makers of the pokemon fire-red and leaf-green franchise thought that the level difference would make lt.surge harder. from joe
You have to be lucky and find the two switches in the trash cans that mix up every time you make a mistake. You don't need to battle him, though. He does nothing but give you advice on my cartridge.
If you mean to the gym: Once you beat the 8 johto gyms and the Pokemon league go to Cianwood and take the boat to Vermillion city. If you mean how to get through his gym trap: Search the garbage cans for a switch. Once you find one, the second switch will be in one of the cans to the north south east or west of that can. The first switch always random so it may take a few tries.
