A massive luxury cruise liner docked at Vermilion City for a Pokémon trainer convention — which Team Rocket infiltrated, wrecked in a storm, and sank to the sea floor with our heroes aboard.
The S.S. Anne is where Ash traded a Butterfree for a Raticate (a trade he immediately reversed after a battle made him realize he regretted it) and where he earned a makeshift battle education from veteran trainers in the ship's ballroom. Team Rocket boarded the ship under the cover of a grunt pep rally and tried to steal every Pokémon aboard. A storm cracked the hull; the ship capsized mid-raid. Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie, James, and Meowth all survived by using their Pokémon to escape a sinking cabin. The ship remains on the sea floor outside Vermilion harbor, still haunted by the occasional treasure hunter.
An enormous white-and-gold cruise ship with multiple decks, ballrooms, a grand dining hall, restaurants, battle halls, and private cabins. A bow flag emblazoned with 'S.S. Anne'. Brass fittings, chandeliers, a polished dance floor. After sinking: a capsized hulk on the continental shelf, filling slowly with water.
