Cave of Origin
目覚めのほこら Shrine of Awakening
"Wild Missingno. appeared!"
Map description:
A long-sleeping Pokémon will descend upon this cavern in order to awaken its true powers.
The Cave of Origin (Japanese: 目覚めのほこらShrine of Awakening) is a cave near the north end of Sootopolis City. It is guarded by Wallace of Sootopolis Gym and is said to be the cave where life begins. Its opposite landmark is Mt. Pyre, said to be the place where life ends.
Residents of Sootopolis are not permitted to enter the Cave of Origin.
In Pokémon Emerald, the Cave of Origin is where Wallace can be found debating where Rayquazais located, until the player gives him a hint that it is at the Sky Pillar. However, the player cannot enter the cave, even after awakening Rayquaza.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.

The Cave of Origin was mentioned in A Three Team Scheme!. A group of Team Magma members led by Tabitha, and a group of Team Aqua members led by Shelly, initially mistook a set of ruins on Dewford Island for the Cave of Origin. When they failed to find what they were looking for from the ruins, they understood their mistake and left.
The Cave of Origin first appeared in It All Ends Now II, where Ruby and Courtney stood in front of it while preparing to use the Red and Blue Orbs in an attempt to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight. In It All Ends Now III, Courtney was suddenly pulled into the cave by a tentacle, just as its entrance collapsed on top of her, killing her.
In It All Ends Now V, Archie and Maxie emerged from the cave after Ruby and Rayquaza had succeeded in stopping Groudon and Kyogre, swiping the Orbs and intending to restart the crisis.
In the Chuang Yi translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes 19, 20, and 21, the Seafloor Cavern was incorrectly referred to as the Cave of Origin.
In the Generation III games, no background music plays on the bottom floor of this cave. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the only other area in the game that shares this distinction is the Inside of Truck. (In Pokémon Emerald, Birth Island also has no background music.)
As a result, if a Pokémon evolves or an Egg hatches here in these games, the evolution background music will play on the floor until the player leaves.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's PokéNav Plus will be unusable in the bottom floor due to electrical interference from the intense natural energy in the room.
