It is time to enter Cinnabar Island's Gym now that I have obtained the Secret Key from the Pokémon Mansion. This Gym specializes in Fire-type Pokémon, and there is a quiz that we have to do in order to take on Blaine and his team of Fire-types.

As the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description.

In the beginning of the video, I show off the infamous truck in Vermilion City along with Mew, which is reference to that rumor back in Red & Blue where you can get Mew from that truck, which turned out to be false.
I have decided to use Kabutops on my team, as its Rock/Water-type combination is very good against the upcoming Gym, Kabutops and Omastar are great choices, and Aerodactyl's Speed and Rock Slide can help against the Trainers. I didn't go over Foul Play and Sludge Bomb in the previous part, Sludge Bomb is a great move to teach to Venusaur, Tentacruel, Vileplume or Weezing if you are using any of those, and Foul Play is an interesting move that uses the target's Attack stat against them, Hypno and Persian can learn that move. The TM for Rock Slide is very helpful for this Gym.
I decided to show the correct and wrong answers, here is a list of answers.
1. Magmar
2. Eight
3. Not Very Effective
4. False / What's That?
5. All are correct

That quiz reminds me of a trial from Pokémon Sun & Moon, which also had you dealing with Fire-type Pokémon.
As for the Gym Leader, Blaine. For his team's moves, Magmar has Flamethrower, Low Kick and Confuse Ray, Rapidash has Flare Blitz, Quick Attack and Fury Attack, Ninetales has Fire Blast and Quick Attack, and Arcanine has Flare Blitz, Outrage and Crunch. If you have a fast Water or Rock-type, like Starmie or Aerodactyl, they should be able to sweep through the Trainers, and the Gym Leader isn't too hard, but that Flare Blitz from Arcanine can hurt if you don't have anything that resists it.
After beating Blaine, he awards the Volcano Badge and the TM for Fire Blast, even though it is a very powerful Fire-type move, Flamethrower is more reliable for Accuracy. This means there is one more Gym left, there was one in Viridian City that was not accessible, so it should be the only one left.
