Cinnabar Island

File:Cinnabarrby.PNG

Cinnabar Island

The Pokémon Mansion in the northwest is 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 Poké Center was spared, so the fossil revitalization experiment is still operational. This technological mecca is also home to the seventh Gym.

Pokémon Lab

POKéMON LAB
Meeting Room

In the Meeting Room, two of the three people are looking to trade. The old man will trade his Rhydon for your Golduck, and the woman offers her Dewgong for your Growlithe.

POKéMON LAB
R-and-D Room

In the R-and-D Room, one of the scientists will give you TM35 (Metronome), an attack that executes any known move. Imagine an Electabuzz using Fire Blast, or a Magmar using Hydro Pump!

POKéMON LAB
Testing Room

In the Testing Room, one scientist is willing to trade his Muk for a Kangaskhan.
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 this run-down building is the key to the Cinnabar Gym.
Scattered throughout the building are the scientists' journal entries that give clues to 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.

1F

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