---

Sootopolis City

Teams Magma and Aqua have awoken Kyogre and Groudon, and the two super-ancient Pokémon are fighting in the middle of the city, tearing nature itself apart! There must be a way to stop their titanic battle! Steven will take you to the Cave of Origin to see Wallace, a former Gym Leader who will tell you that only one Pokémon is powerful enough to bring peace. That Pokémon is Rayquaza, and Wallace is unsure where it might be. When he asks, the correct answer is "Sky Pillar." Now, you must exit Sootopolis City and traverse Route 130. The Sky Pillar is on the northern half of Route 131, and you will need to navigate around some rocks to get to it. First, stop by Rydel's Cycles in Mauville City to get the Mach Bike if necessary!

Route 131

Surf west on Route 130 to Route 131. The next trick is to find the entrance to the Sky Pillar— it looks like the entrance to a cave. Once you've found it, go up the stairs and exit the tunnel. Wallace will arrive and say that he's opened the locked door to the tower. Enter it.

The first floor is very straightforward— go through the doorway and up the stairs. The second floor is also obvious.

The third floor is where things get slightly trickier. Go around the central hole in the floor to the stairs that aren't blocked by rocks, up to the fourth floor. You need to ride your Mach Bike across the southwesternmost cracked tile, but fall down the next one over, back to the third floor. (Look at the pictures carefully if this is confusing.) Now, go up the stairs directly north of you, and then go up the westernmost stairs on the fourth floor. The fifth floor is simple again— just run around to the next set of stairs, and you're on top of the Sky Pillar!

Rayquaza, the Sky High Pokémon and third super-ancient, is sleeping atop the tower. Walk up to it and it will awaken, making the tower shudder, and fly off! Follow it— you can Fly directly to Sootopolis City from here.

Sootopolis City

When you arrive, you will see an amazing sight: Rayquaza shows up in the midst of the battle and sends Groudon and Kyogre away. Surf to the bit of land outside the Gym and speak to Archie and Maxie, who realize and laugh at their mistakes. They then depart to return the Red Orb and Blue Orb to Mt. Pyre.

Now, even with the world saved, your greatest challenge hasn't happened yet— it's time to head to the Pokémon League and battle the Elite Four! Traverse Route 128 to get to Ever Grande City.

Note: If you were to return to the Sky Pillar, Rayquaza would be there, waiting to battle. However, it is Level 70 and extremely powerful— it would most likely easily defeat your entire team. Come back after you've become the Champion.
