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 Cinnabar Lab and the Pokémon Mansion, as well as a gym, where you'll face leader Blaine, bearer of the Volcano Badge. However, access to the gym is at first barred.'



Pokémon Lab


The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory founded by Dr. Fuji. It reveals important bits of information regarding the obscure storyline, if you can tie all the dots together correctly.

Here, you should hand your Fossil from Mt. Moon and your Old Amber from Pewter City's Science Museum to get two resurrected Pokémon otherwise unobtainable.

Room 1


In the first room of the laboratory, 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 up for trading)

Room 2


In the second room, there is a Move Tutor on the left who will teach to one of your Pokémon. Metronome randomly selects a move to perform, so it's more of a gimmick and not really a reliable move.

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, but you just need to walk out of the building and then return to claim the fossil Pokémon. They're all revived at level 5.

There is also another in-game trade: for, just talk to the blond guy in green.

Pokémon Mansion
The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a Mew and impregnated it with the genetically altered Mewtwo, who destroyed the Mansion in its escape.

To access the Cinnabar Gym, you have to enter the mansion and find the Secret Key to unlock the door of the gym. The Pokémon Mansion has four floors. Doors can be unlocked in the mansion by pressing switches hidden in Pokémon statues.

1F


Look for items, but proceed to the second floor from the stairs at the end of the main hall. There are plenty of interesting wild Pokémon.

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.

A surprise twist in the plot
Now that you've acquired the Volcano Badge, Bill 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 may very well say "NO" for now and Bill will wait at the Pokémon Center for you when you're ready. This is because, although you're not told, there will be no way to return to Kanto for a good while! So make sure you wrap up your tasks around Kanto before you feel like departing for a while to some remote islands. Finish up route 21 and take with you anything that you might need before leaving to the new Sevii Islands. Just don't get your hopes up for entirely new Pokémon... This isn't it yet.
