Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Cinnabar Island



'Cinnabar Island is an island located in the southwestern part of the Kanto region. It is home to the famous Pokémon Lab, said to be able to resurrect Pokemon from the ancient past.'

'This island is also home to Gym Leader Blaine, bearer of the Volcano Badge, however, access to his Gym is, for now, restricted... perhaps the abandoned Pokémon Mansion holds the secret to facing Blaine...'

Pokémon Lab


The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory founded by Dr. Fuji. The only real reason to visit here, is to make a few trades. You will also get a chance to trade the fossil you chose at Mt. Moon and the Old Amber from the Science Museum at Pewter City, for a couple of Pokémon otherwise unobtainable.

Room 1


In the first room of the Pokémon Lab, there are two people who will offer to trade Pokémon. The old man will offer his Electrode for a Raichu, and the girl will want to trade her Tangela for a Venonat.

Items
 * Stardust (held by Tangeny, the Tangela you can obtain in the trade).

Room 2


In the second room, there is a Move Tutor on the left who will teach TM35 to one of your Pokémon. Metronome randomly selects a move and fully executes the attack, including moves affected by Disable.

Room 3


In the third room, there is a weird doctor who will revive the fossils you obtained at Mt. Moon and the museum in Pewter City, however you must walk out of the building before returning to claim the fossil Pokémon. You may have some trouble levelling them up, as they're revived at level 5. There is also another in-game trade: Ponyta for Seel, just talk to the blond guy in green.

Cinnabar Gym


The Cinnabar Gym is the official gym of Cinnabar Island. It specializes on Fire-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Blaine. If you defeat him, you'll receive the Volcano Badge.

The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. You must answer trivia questions about various Pokémon to unseal the doors, do this by interacting with the machines connected to the walls. However, when you fail to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. The questions are:


 * "Pokémon Quiz! Get it right and the door opens to the next room! Get it wrong and face a trainer! If you want to conserve your Pokémon for the Gym Leader... Then get it right! Here we go! Caterpie evolves into Metapod?"
 * Yes, Caterpie evolves into Metapod, then into Butterfree.


 * "There are 9 certified Pokémon League Badges?"
 * No, there are only 8.


 * "Poliwag evolves 3 times?"
 * No, he evolves only twice; first into Poliwhirl, then into Poliwrath.


 * "Are thunder moves effective against ground element-type Pokémon?"
 * No, it's the other way around.


 * "Pokémon of the same kind and level are not identical?"
 * Yes, they're not.


 * "TM28 contains Tombstony?"
 * No, it contains Dig.

Even if you answer the question right, you still have the option to challenge the Trainer.

Items
 * TM38 Fire Blast (reward for defeating Blaine)
 * Tri-Pass (gift from Bill after defeating Blaine)

Defeating Blaine
Now that you've acquired the Volcano Badge, Bill (of PC fame) will meet you outside the gym. He mentions that he's going to one of the Sevii Islands and wants you to come along. You'll most likely need to heal after the battle with Blaine, and you still have not tackled Route 21, just say "NO" and Bill will wait at the Pokemon Center for you when you're ready.

Finish up Route 21, and then make sure that you're well stocked on Ultra Balls, is ahead! But before you can get your hands on the Legendary Bird, there will be a few side quests for you to finish at the Sevii Islands.
