Cinnabar Island

The remains of Cinnabar Island

At some point during the last few years, the volcanic Cinnabar Island erupted. The Pokémon Center has been rebuilt, but the rest of the town remains either buried in rubble or swept into the sea. It is here that you meet Blue, contemplating the power of nature. The former Champion and current Gym Leader refuses to return to his post at the Viridian Gym. In order to persuade him, you must first collect the seven other Kanto Gym Badges. To earn the seventh, you need to track down the Gym Leader of the displaced Cinnabar Gym. With the building destroyed, Blaine was forced to relocate to a cave in the Seafoam Islands to the east.

The relocated Cinnabar Gym

Seafoam Gym

Blaine's quiz machines were destroyed, so there are no puzzles to solve. However, none of his six Gym Trainers will approach when you step into their line of sight. Each one is stationed at a choke-point and will not move until they are defeated. To reach the central area, it is necessary to approach from the western side, as Super Nerd Merle is the only one of the three nearest the Gym Leader that does not block the path upon defeat.

The Gym Leader is a Fire-type specialist, so you may want to bring a few Burn Heals. All three of his Pokémon are susceptible to Water- and Ground-type moves, but his Magcargo is especially vulnerable. Though his Pokémon are at respectable levels, they still should not pose much of a threat at this point. Despite this, Water Pokémon should still be careful of Magmar's ThunderPunch. Each of his Pokémon carries a White Herb, which prevents Overheat's Special Attack drop for a single turn.

B1F

When you first descend into the icy caves, you begin in the southeastern part of B1F. Move the boulders aside and collect the Grip Claw in the dead-end path to the north. Walk up onto the nearest platform to reach an Ice Heal and climb down the northernmost ladder.

B2F

Walk down the stairway and slide across the ice patch. Inspect the two frozen stalagmites to the north to find a hidden Pearl. Turn right and battle past Skier Cady, Boarder Shaun, and Boarder Bryce to reach the northeast ladder.

B3F

Head southwest and pick up the Max Revive lying hidden between two stalagmites. Take the ladder down to B4F.

B4F

Go north to find TM13 (Ice Beam), and climb back up the ladder.

Go southwest to find three blocks sitting on an ice patch. Clear two of the three blocks out of the way by bumping into them from the north or south, sending them skidding away. Approach the third block from the east, which creates a stopping point that will allow you to continue westward. Another ice patch lies a short distance to the northwest. Bump the northeast block from the south, push the northwest block from the west, then slide clockwise from the southern edge of the ice to reach the Big Pearl. Climb down the ladder to the southwest.

Climb up the next ladder to B2F.

B4F

Step into the water and surf westward. The nearest islet is the roost of Articuno, the first of Kanto's three legendary birds. Begin the battle with Fire-, Electric-, and Steel-type moves to weaken its health quickly, then follow up with Grass and Bug moves to wear it down further. If you fail to catch it, defeat the Pokémon League once more to cause it to reappear.

Types: Ice Flying Ability: Pressure Held item: None Articuno Lv.50 AncientPower Rock Special   --       Agility Psychic Status   --       Ice Beam Ice Special   --       Reflect Psychic Status   --

Afterwards, check the spot where it stood to find a hidden Zinc. Surf westward and climb the northwest ladder.
