Cinnabar Island is a large island located off the southern coast of the Kanto region, south of Pallet Town. It is home to a large volcano. Blaine is the resident Gym Leader, specializing in Fire-type Pokémon. Cinnabar is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. There are no land paths to the island. Instead Route 20 in the east and Route 21 in the north are both waterways through the ocean.
