Once on the island, the group decides to find the [[Cinnabar Gym]], and they eventually do with the help of a local who tells them by using a riddle, which {{an|Misty}} solved. However, they learn that the Gym has been abandoned. The local tells them the story of how Cinnabar Island was once a hot-spot for Trainers, but tourism took off due to the rise of hot springs resorts situated near the local volcano. The Cinnabar Island [[Gym Leader]], [[Blaine]], closed down his Gym due to being forced to battle tourists who had no interest in obtaining [[Badge]]s. The local leaves, but not before leaving Ash a business card for the Big Riddle Inn. | Once on the island, the group decides to find the [[Cinnabar Gym]], and they eventually do with the help of a local who tells them by using a riddle, which {{an|Misty}} solved.

Ash and his friends then decide to explore the world-famous [[Pokémon Lab]]. There, they discover that it too has been turned into a tourist trap. Finding nothing else to do, they decide to look for lodging, but find that all of the rooms at the local [[Pokémon Center]] and the hot springs resorts have been booked. As a result, they camp out. Meanwhile, Gary has found himself a room, but his room entertainment is in the form of Jigglypuff, alongside {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} dressed up in costumes playing the shamisen. Realizing this, Ash and his friends flee before it could {{m|sing}}, leaving everyone else to fall asleep. When {{an|Brock}} reminds Ash of the business card, they find that it also contains directions there, but in the form of a riddle. Ash and Brock are both stumped, but Misty guesses correctly again and they locate the Big Riddle Inn because of its clock tower. The local from earlier, who runs the inn, reveals that he has a vacancy and allows the group to stay for free. | Ash and his friends then decide to explore the world-famous [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]].

However, before they can settle in, the local receives a phone call, informing him that the Pokémon Lab, home to various {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, is under attack from a balloon. Figuring that {{TRT}} is involved, Ash and his friends arrive at the scene, and quickly dispatch the balloon with {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} whilst riding on {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. As a reward for helping to save the Pokémon, the local that Blaine had built a secret Gym, in a place where firefighters couldn't win. | However, before they can settle in, the local receives a phone call, informing him that the Pokémon Lab, home to various {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, is under attack from a balloon.
