'''Dotted Hole''' (Japanese: '''てんのあな''' ''Dotted Hole'') is a place only accessible in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It is located in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Six Island]] and is the place where players will get the {{key|III|Sapphire}}, which, in conjunction with the {{key|III|Ruby}}, allows [[Celio]]'s Network Machine to connect to [[Lanette]]'s [[Pokémon Storage System|PC system]] in [[Hoenn]], and enables [[trade]]s with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{Pokémon XD|XD}}. A [[Team Rocket scientists|Team Rocket scientist]], [[Gideon]], will steal it, though, and the player must venture back to [[Five Island]] to retrieve it from him. In order to open the door, the player must use {{m|Cut}} in front of it. However, Gideon will stand in front of the door until the player helps [[Lorelei]] defeat the three {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s at [[Icefall Cave]].

==Braille translations==
Along with the cave within [[Mt. Ember]], this is one of only two locations in the [[Sevii Islands]] that has [[Braille]] writing, both on the door (from which the area gets its name) and within, which will direct players to the location of the Sapphire.

==Trivia==
* The message at the bottom floor of the Dotted Hole is possibly a reference to Bill and Celio creating a device that allows trade between FireRed and LeafGreen and Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald by using the Ruby and Sapphire found in the Sevii Islands.
