Ruby and Sapphire (Japanese: 第4章 ルビー ・ サファイア編 The Fourth Chapter: Ruby and Sapphire) is the fourth chapter of the Pokémon Adventures manga and it consists of eight volumes. It is the second longest completed chapter of the series, behind Gold, Silver & Crystal arc.

This chapter features the journeys of Ruby and Sapphire who are trying to conquer all the Pokémon Contests and Gyms in Hoenn respectively within the span of 80 days. However, this gets interrupted by the two new evil organizations, the land-loving Team Magma and sea-loving Team Aqua. Sapphire and Ruby have to worry about something else, too: their feelings for each other.

Volumes

My First Wide edition

Beginning in March 2011, Shogakukan began releasing rounds from the Ruby & Sapphire chapter as part of their "My First Wide" series of omnibus volumes, similar to the "VizBIG" volumes published by VIZ Media. The Ruby & Sapphire chapter was chosen due to its high popularity in Japan. Two volumes have been released to date. A third was announced, but was never issued.
