The reward for defeating Coach Trainer Amala is P1600 and TM15 Seismic Toss. Seismic Toss does damage equal to the user’s level. The Machop in this battle will always inflict 16 HP of damage on your Pokemon. After the battle, grab the Lure to the south.

Now you can enter Bill’s sea cottage. Inside is a science experiment gone awry. Help turn Bill back to normal and he’ll reward you with two S.S. Anne Tickets. The S.S. Anne is located in Vermilion City.

With that side quest taken care of, head back to Cerulean City and take on the second Pokemon Gym. If you’ve already obtained the Cascade Badge, the house above the Gym will now open up!
