Lavender Town Guide
Not by walking. City streets never spawn an encounter. Where a town touches water, though, Surfing or fishing turns up Pokemon, like off the Vermilion docks or along the Cinnabar shore. The list on this page shows what each city's water holds.
No. These games have no rematch system at all, so once you beat a Leader or a trainer that fight is finished for good. There's no farming the same opponents for cash or experience. Wild Pokemon and the Elite Four, which you can re-challenge, are your only repeatable battles.
