Appendix:Red and Blue walkthrough/Section 13: Difference between revisions

Cinnabar Island

The Pokémon Mansion in the northwest has been abandoned, having been destroyed by a violent genetically-engineered Pokémon that broke free of its prison and escaped. Fortunately, the Pokémon Lab next to the Pokémon Center was spared, so the fossil resurrection experiment is still operational. This technological mecca is also home to the seventh Gym.

Pokémon Lab

In the Meeting Room, two of the three people are looking to trade. The old man will trade his Electrode for your Raichu, and the woman offers her Tangela for your Venonat.

In the R-and-D Room, one of the scientists will give you TM35 (Metronome), an attack that executes any known move. Imagine a Snorlax using Hi Jump Kick, or a Gengar using Razor Leaf!

In the Testing Room, one scientist is willing to trade his Seel for a Ponyta.
The scientist with speech problems is the guy to talk to about reviving your fossils. Give him the Dome Fossil to get a Kabuto, or the Helix Fossil to receive an Omanyte. Both are Rock/Template:Type2s, and lived in the primordial ocean. Turning over the Old Amber results in the Rock/Template:Type2 Aerodactyl, king of the prehistoric skies. If you hadn't noticed yet, the Cinnabar Gym is locked up tight, and without the Secret Key you won't be able to challenge Blaine. There's nothing else to do here now, so sneak into the deserted building behind the lab.

Pokémon Mansion

Buried somewhere in these ruins is the key to the Cinnabar Gym. Scattered throughout the building are journal entries describing the secret experiment that was conducted on the island, so don't forget to read up on the dangerous and mysterious Pokémon that is said to have been created here. On a lighter note, some new species here include Ponyta, Koffing, and Grimer, while Blue Version players can also find Magmar.

1st floor

To find the key, go straight ahead from the entrance to the stairs. Check every statue you come across, the hidden switches inside open some doors and close others. Flip switches as necessary to collect all the items.

2nd floor

If you haven't already, flip the switch behind the nearby statue and head to the northeast. Inspect the journal on the table, and collect the Calcium at the end of the hallway. Walk to the northwest room and take the stairs to the 3rd floor.

3rd floor

Head to the east through the north door to get an Iron. Backtrack and flip the statue switch and enter the southern door. Battle the scientist, and jump off the smaller eastern ledge to reach the basement.

2nd floor

Head north and then west. To the south is a second journal entry, so view it before the stairs back to the 3rd floor.

3rd floor

This area of 3F has a Burglar, a third journal entry, and a Max Potion in the southwest corner.

Take the stairs back down to the 2nd floor, flip the switch, and take the northwest stairs.

3rd floor

Head to the scientist to the southeast, and drop off the wider western ledge to reach 1F.

1st floor

Battle the scientist, pick up the Carbos, and take the stairs to the basement.

Basement

Step inside the closest room for the last journal entry, a Trainer battle, and TM14 (Blizzard). Go all the way to the western wall for a Full Restore, and head back to the stairs. Flip the switch to get into the narrow hallway and battle the last scientist. Follow the path around to the left, picking up a Rare Candy, TM22 (SolarBeam), and finally, the Secret Key. Now that you've got the key, use an Escape Rope or dig your way to the front door.

Cinnabar Gym

Gym #7. Blaine specializes in Template:Type2s, so bring a team of Water- or Template:Type2s. Your monsters may get burned in this red-hot gym, so bring along some Burn Heal. It is possible to avoid all seven other battles by checking each area's quiz machine and answering the question correctly. But who can pass up the extra cash?

Template:PartyHeader Template:PartyBody13 Template:PartyDiv Template:PartyBody11 Template:PartyFooter

After defeating Blaine, he gives you the Volcano Badge and TM38 (Fire Blast). The badge also heightens your Pokémon's Special stat. With the gym defeated, you are done on the island, so heal and surf north off the dock to Pallet Town.

Route 21

There are no items on this ocean route, and only 9 Trainers.

Tangela can be found in the patch of tall grass just south of Pallet Town. Now that you've traveled almost every route in Kanto, let's tie up some loose ends.
Fly to Cerulean City.
