Pokémon on Route 21:

Surf south on Route 21. There are a few trainers. Nikki, an avid Seel
enthusiast, wants you to put sunblock on her.

Swimmer Nikki

Level 28 Seel (600 EXP)
Level 28 Seel (600 EXP)

There's a fisherman here. He used his Super Rod to catch you, and you didn't
even notice. Please be more aware of your surroundings.

Fisher Arnold
Level 34 Tentacruel (1492 EXP)
You get: 1360G

Head way left then down to...

Swimmer Seth
Level 29 Quagsire (850 EXP)

Level 32 Quagsire (939 EXP)
You get: 256G

Head down from him and you'll get to Cinnabar Island.

|---------------|
|Cinnabar Island|
|---------------|

Cinnabar Island is in a sad state of affairs for its former residents, who fled
the premises. The volcano has done very well for itself. So you were on Team
Volcano, you're a monster, but also, you probably won a lot of money in Team
Rocket's black market gambling scene. You can now enter the Pokémon Center and
heal your Pokémon. Talk to the two people there and they'll tell you that the
volcano erupted a year ago (two years after Red, Blue, and Yellow).

You'll notice someone looking at what's left of it. It's Blue! He was the
Champion of the Pokémon League until Red beat him. He knows you want a challenge
but he's not in the mood for one yet. He laments, "The volcano erupts, and just
like that, a whole town disappears." I never thought of Blue as a sentimental
guy, but here we are. Blue then levitates and flies off into space, presumably
with Alakazam. Then, surf east to Route 20.

Pokémon on Route 20:

#072 Tentacool

Head east and you'll come across one trainer.

Swimmer Cameron
Level 34 Marill (421 EXP)
You get: 272G

Now head on east to the Seafoam Islands.

|Seafoam Islands Gym|
|-------------------|

Since Cinnabar Island's volcano erupted and destroyed Blaine's gym, it's moved
to the Seafoam Islands. It's now in the middle of nowhere. You should see a
small cave at the Seafoam Islands. Go inside and it's Blaine's remote, makeshift
gym. This gym doesn't even fit the entire screen. The poor guy's become a hermit
and a caveman. I just heard him grunting and working on his cave painting.

GYM LEADER BLAINE
Level 45 Magcargo (1485 EXP)
Level 45 Magmar (1609 EXP)
Level 50 Rapidash (2056 EXP)
You get: Volcano Badge, 5,000G
---

Blaine will have two Full Restores available to use on his Pokémon.

Strategy VERSUS Magcargo: Magcargo has Yawn to put your Pokémon asleep, Recover
to get back half its HP in one turn, and Overheat, a pretty strong fire move
that can do significant damage to a starter Pokémon like Meganium and also cause
burn damage. Don't use Meganium, because it takes damage faster than it can deal
to Magcargo. You can use a strong normal move from your strongest Pokémon that
isn't Meganium, like HM Strength, against Magcargo. Additionally, Ho-Oh's
AncientPower is a super-effective rock move against fire types which also raises
Ho-Oh's special stats. Or you can use Lugia's Hydro Pump/Surf, as water moves
are super effective against Magcargo. Feraligatr's water type moves will be
super effective against all Pokémon in this gym.

Strategy VERSUS Magmar: Magmar has a Confuse Ray move that can prevent your
Pokémon from attacking. Don't use Meganium, because it takes damage faster than
it can deal to Magmar. You can use a strong normal move from your strongest
Pokémon that isn't Meganium, like HM Strength, against Magcargo. Additionally,
Ho-Oh's AncientPower is a super-effective rock move against fire types which
also raises Ho-Oh's special stats. Or you can use Lugia's Hydro Pump/Surf, as
water moves are super effective against Magmar.

Strategy VERSUS Rapidash: Rapidash has the moves Flare Blitz (which also speeds
Rapidash up) and Bounce (which is a two-turn Fly type move). Don't use Meganium,
because it takes damage faster than it can deal to Magmar. Additionally, avoid
using two-turn moves, because Bounce can result in your low-PP moves missing
entirely. You can use a strong normal move from your strongest Pokémon that
isn't Meganium, like HM Strength, against Magcargo. Additionally, Ho-Oh's
AncientPower is a super-effective rock move against fire types which also raises
Ho-Oh's special stats. Or you can use Lugia's Hydro Pump/Surf, as water moves
are super effective against Magmar.

Blaine will give you the Volcano Badge and 5,000G. You now have 15 badges! You
can talk to the guy that comes in, but he's late. Word doesn't travel quickly
across the sea. Now exit the cave.
