====================================
9b. Team Aqua in the Seafloor Cavern
====================================

Note: For this next part, you will need Surf, Dive, Rock Smash, and Strength.

Also note: The Seafloor Cavern is the same for Ruby and Sapphire. Just
substitute Aqua for Magma and Carvanha/Sharpedo for Numel/Camerupt,
respectively.

I know you're probably sick of Poochyena and Carvanha, but you have to suffer
just a tiny bit more. In order to reach the Seafloor Cavern, start at Mossdeep
City. Surf south until you find a huge circle of shallow water. Dive at the
south end of the circle and you'll be at the entrance. Enter, and resurface.
Enter the cave.

Go around the left side and smash the rock, then move the boulders out of your
way. Fight. Go up the stairs, fight, and down into the south door. Jump the
ledge and fight. Now Enter the door to the north and use Strength. Push the
boulder up, then go right and push that boulder. Exit the room, and re-enter.

Push the boulder up. Go right and up and push that boulder up. Go left and push
that boulder left. Smash the rock, then go up and push the boulder up. Go left
and smash the rock. Push the boulder left and enter the door.

From the entrance, Surf up, right, right, and then left. Leave the room.

More puzzles! Push the boulder up 1 square. Go between the bottom two boulders.
Push the left one left as far as it can go, and do the same with the right. Go
between two more boulders and push the left one as far as it can go. The right
one is already next to a wall. Go between two more boulders, but push the one
above you upwards. Go up and push the boulder right, allowing you access to the
next room...after a fight.

One more puzzle. Push the two outside boulders up. Push the middle one to the
side. Go up and push the boulder up ONE square. Push the two boulders to the
side. Go on the left side and push the boulder up, then go to the right and
push that boulder up. Push the middle boulder to the side and enter the door.

9c. Archie Battle 2
===================

The path has gotten all misty. Grab TM26, Earthquake, save your game, then
follow the path and walk in front of Kyogre. Archie stops you, and thus begins
the final battle between you and Team Aqua!

Defeat Archie(Maxie), and the Red(Blue) Orb will activate. Much to his
surprise, Kyogre(Groudon) rebels and books out of the cave. Archie(Maxie) gets
a phone call and hears that he vastly underestimated Kyogre's power, and his
plans have gone horribly wrong. Maxie(Archie) comes in and scolds Archie(Maxie)
for being such a wanker. The three of you go outside to see what Archie has
done. The surrounding area is under a constant state of rain(harsh sunlight)
due to Kyogre's(Groudon's) release. Archie and Maxie will leave. (If you want,
you can go back to Mt. Pyre and Archie(Maxie) will return the Red(Blue) Orb to
its rightful spot. Talk to Phoebe's grandmother to do the same with the
Blue(Red) Orb. After Archie(Maxie) leaves, you will never see him again.) Just
then, Steven pops in and tells you that Kyogre(Groudon) has caused this change
in climate, and you must stop Kyogre before it floods(dries up) the entire
planet! He explains that there's a giant rain cloud(the sun is hovering) over
Sootopolis City, and he's going to go there to get some answers. Course, he
just Flys there. You can't exactly do that, since you've never been there. From
where you're at, Surf up and left until you can turn left, then continue left
until you reach a large white structure. Dive and head south until you see the
entrance. Enter, and resurface.

==============================
9d. Welcome to Sootopolis City
==============================

Yes, the Gym is here. But you can't enter it, even if you wanted to. Wallace,
the Gym Leader, is out. Plus, the door's shut. You may want to pick up lots of
Ultra Balls at the Mart. Someone who can inflict Sleep helps, but only if it's
someone on your team. Having a Pokemon with Flash helps in the coming part,
too.

========================================
9e. Steven Appears..Again - Meet Wallace
========================================

Head up and right from the Mart, and you'll see Steven. He'll talk to you, then
ask you to follow him. He takes you near the Cave of Origin, and you'll meet
Wallace, Sootopolis City's Gym Leader. Wallace and Steven take you to the
entrance of the Cave of Origin. When you're ready, enter.

==================
9f. Cave of Origin
==================

Use Flash (if you've got it) to illuminate the cave. Follow the path. Don't
forget to pick up HM 7, Waterfall. When you get into Kyogre's(Groudon's)
chamber, save your game! You get only one shot at capturing it!

===================
9g. Catching Kyogre
===================

Walk in front of Kyogre. The Blue Orb activates, and Kyogre attacks!

Kyogre is level 45. Its moveset is:

Body Slam - 30% chance of inflicting Paralysis on you.
Calm Mind - Raises Special Attack and Special Defense by 1 level.
Ice Beam - 10% chance of inflicting Freeze.
Hydro Pump - Major damage, but no effects.

If you can inflict Sleep, do it now. Hammer at its HP until it's in the
yellow. If you're feeling bold, go for the red. After that, start chucking
Balls like there's no tomorrow. If at any time Kyogre wakes up, put that bad
mofo back to sleep before it decimates your entire team. I got lucky, because
it took me only three Ultra Balls to capture Kyogre. In a previous game, it
took me about 20. Good luck!

=====================
9g1. Catching Groudon
=====================

Groudon is also level 45. Its moveset is:

Slash - High chance of a critical hit.
Bulk Up - Raises Attack and Defense by 1 level.
Fire Blast - 10% chance of inflicting Burn.
Earthquake - Major damage, but no effects.

Groudon, much to my surprise, was just as big a pain in the rear as Kyogre was.
First time I fought it, I whittled its HP down to the red, but failed to catch
it because Groudon killed off my entire team. That's only because I kept on
throwing Balls, and didn't try to heal. Second time, same story. Third time, I
got it down to a sliver of life and paralyzed it, and I finally caught the
stupid thing 5 dead Pokemon and 10 Ultra Balls later. I hate Groudon. >_<

After you either catch or kill Kyogre, the rain(harsh sunlight) ceases, and
Sootopolis becomes inhabited again.
