Prologue
"This is Elaine Hoffman reporting to you live from Cinnabar Island, where roughly an hour ago, the citizens of Cinnabar were sent into a state of panic when it was announced that the Island's famously known Volcano, previously thought to have been inactive, was set to erupt.
"Thankfully, the entire Island's population was evacuated in time, and it is safe to say that there were no casualties, though unfortunately, the entire landscape of Cinnabar was destroyed by the eruption, leaving hundreds with no place to go.
"Cinnabar Gym Leader Blaine commented on the situation as, and I quote, 'This is shocking, to say the least. Cinnabar has always been a safe place to live, and the volcano, though it has infamously caused disaster in past events, has been inactive for decades. I will find the reason for which Cinnabar sadly met it's demise, but for now, there's really no telling what could have happened to cause such unpredicted violence. I can only be thankful that no one was hurt, much less killed.'
"Sources have confirmed that it is highly possible that these were in fact not natural causes, a large fact being the sudden state of emergency the Island was placed in. A representative of the well known Pokémon Mansion stated that there was nearly no warning, and no possible way to predict the forecoming, only getting just enough of a warning to contact Gym Leader Blaine, who managed to bring the citizens of Cinnabar to safety.
"As of now, the future plans for Cinnabar are unknown, as the now homeless citizens are being relocated to nearby towns, such as Fuschia City and Pallet Town. The Cinnabar Gym will be relocated at some point in the near future for the sake of young League Trainers, but in the long shot, Cinnabar's fate is currently ambiguous.
"This is Elaine Hoffman, signing off."
