Wait, before we go, ask the man how Cinnabar ranks in terms of gym power.
> As you make to leave, you ask, "How does the Cinnabar gym compare in terms of power?"
> The man answers, "The leader Blaine is second only to myself among Kanto's gym leaders. Most trainers that pick up Squirtle or Bulbasaur are best served going to Pewter City for their first badge. But Celadon City is best for trainers that pick Charmander. At least, for trainers wishing to stay in Kanto."
> You thank the man, dignity mostly in tack, and depart the gym. You've seen most the sites in this city, so you take out your map and debate whether to head north to Pewter City, east to Celadon City, or west along the long road to New Bark town.
> The sun is setting. You may stay the night at the pokemon center if you wish; it seems to be a type of rest stop for travelers and trainers alike. Though you aren't particularly tired, and it is early.
