Local Trainers Pokémon¶

Omega Ruby

Alpha Sapphire

Rustboro City¶

As you enter the Devon Corp., there will be an odd scene with that scientist that you helped out in the Petalburg Woods some time ago, and he’s apparently being pursued by some Team Aqua/Magma people. You know what that means, right? And it’s apparently the same grunt as before too.

Soon thereafter, there will be another Grunt battle, and another. Once the scientist gets a chance to talk, you will learn that Team Aqua/Magma stole the control device for the Link Cable, and the thief’s description matches Zinnia’s, to no surprise… Odds are, they went to Mossdeep.

Mossdeep City¶

Head towards the Space Center and you’ll see a bunch of Team Aqua/Magma people entering the Center; follow them! Inside, head to the northeast corner of 1F and defeat the five Grunts in a Horde Battle. (Physical Pokémon users beware : their cumulative Intimidates will lower your Attack to 1/3 the norm.)

Continue up to 2F and you’ll find that the admin intends to destroy the dimensional shifter and, for all we know, the world in turn! You’ll fight her and a Grunt alongside Steven, so it’ll be easier than usual.

After, Aster - Zinnia’s Whismur - will snatch away the dimensional shifter from the admin. Zinnia clarifies what we noted earlier: the asteroid won’t go away with this plan, it becomes someone else’s problem (i.e. the universe of the original Ruby/Sapphire), and they may not be able to get rid of it.

She then will crush the shifter, appalling all, and then snatch away the admin’s Key Stone before leaving, apparently after the team’s ex-Leader’s Key Stone. Fly for Lilycove, and then enter the Team Aqua/Magma Hideout east of there.

Team Aqua/Magma Hideout¶

Inside, go along to the teleporter puzzle area in the next room and use the northwest teleporter. In the next room, battle a few Grunts if you want, then use the stairs to the northeast.

On the lower floor, you should head east, past the Grunt, and into the southeastern teleporter. Then go west to the next Grunt and north through the teleporter, then defeat the Grunt to the west and go through that teleporter.

In the submarine room are two Grunts to the west, one to fight. Of course, this is not where the leader’s room is, but you can gain extra EXP nonetheless. Return to the previous area and use the southernmost teleporter. Beyond, use the left, middle, right, and right teleporters of each row.

On the other side, Archie/Maxie will be facing off with Zinnia. Approach them and, after a small bit of introspection, Maxie/Archie will lose their Key Stone - and now, the summoning of Rayquaza can be done! They’ll be heading now for the Sky Pillar.

With no Key Stone to speak of, the leader will hand over their Mega Stone: Maxie’s Cameruptite in Omega Ruby and Archie’s Sharpedonite in Alpha Sapphire, for Camerupt and Sharpedo respectively.

Soon thereafter, Steven will call, requesting you to meet with him at the Space Center. Leave the base and head there now.
