The Fast Ship S.S. Aqua (Japanese: 高速船アクア号 Fast Ship S.S. Aqua) is a ferry service that runs between Johto and Kanto. It doesn't run nearly as often as the Magnet Train, the only other method of transportation between Johto and Kanto in the Generation II and IV games. It travels between Olivine City and Vermilion City. A player can only travel on this ship after defeating the Johto League.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the ship implies that the S.S. Aqua travels to Sinnoh, as he mentions finding plates there. However, the ship does not appear in any of the games that take place there.

The S.S. Aqua from Generation II

When the player first rides the ship to Vermilion City, a man will bump into them as they board and explain he's lost his granddaughter. Once the player enters the lower deck, a crewman will deny them access and ask them to locate a co-worker who is slacking off on the floor above. The crewman is a Sailor in a previously empty room, (in Generation IV the Sailor is found sleeping in a cabin before the player is asked to find him) and once beaten the crewman below will let the player pass. After traversing through the lower deck, the player finds the man's granddaughter. The player takes her back to her grandfather, at which point the ferry arrives in Vermilion and the player can depart.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua can be sailed from Kanto to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and sails from Johto to Kanto each Monday and Friday. Trainers can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled. If the player returns to the city they boarded the ferry from and boards it again, they can battle a new set of trainers. Any of the Trainers encountered on the ship cannot be battled ever again, however. Also on trips after the initial one, the voyage will end after the player sleeps in their bed.

Trivia

• In both Generation II and Generation IV, if the player goes to sleep, wakes up, and hears the announcement about docking, checking the Pokégear map will still show the player in the ocean between Kanto and Johto.
• In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Hiker Noland has a Bronzor on his team, making it the first Sinnoh Pokémon owned by an NPC that the player may see.
• The S.S. Aqua along with the S.S. Anne and S.S. Tidal all have at least one NPC on board who will either mention that they are sea sick or will be facing a trash barrel, thereby implying that they are sea sick.
• On the trip from Vermilion to Olivine in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokéfan Georgia and Pokéfan Jeremy can be engaged in a Double Battle, meaning the player's opponents will have 8 Pokémon between them.
