The '''Seafloor Cavern''' (Japanese: '''かいていどうくつ''' ''Seabed Cavern'') is a location in Hoenn, deep beneath the seas of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. In order to reach it, {{player}}s must have {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Surf}}, as well as the proper [[Badge]]s ({{Badge|Balance}} and {{Badge|Mind}}) to use the moves outside of battle. Once inside, {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} are also required.
The '''Seafloor Cavern''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|海底洞窟|かいていどうくつ}}''' ''Seabed Cavern'') is a location in [[Hoenn]], deep beneath the water of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. After surfacing inside the cave, there is a maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] resides.


The search for the cavern begins when [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}} or [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}} steals a [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]] from [[Captain Stern]]. In Ruby, the cavern is the home of {{p|Groudon}}, who sleeps at its deepest part, while in Sapphire and Emerald, {{p|Kyogre}} is the Pokémon who sleeps here, while Groudon's home (at least in Emerald) is within the [[Magma Hideout]], deep inside of the caverns of [[Mt. Chimney]].
==Description==
In order to reach the cave, the {{player}} must use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. Additionally, in {{game|Emerald}}, a {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}} will block access to the deeper rooms from the entrance until after [[Team Magma]] is defeated at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Inside, {{m|Strength}} is required for navigation; there are also [[breakable rock]]s, which cause {{m|Rock Smash}} to be required for navigation in the Generation III games, but not the Generation VI games.


The player's quest to find the villainous team begins almost immediately after winning their seventh Badge. With a Pokémon that can dive [[underwater]] in their [[party]], they can now navigate the maze of deep trenches on the routes of Hoenn's eastern sea. In the deepest one of them, smack dab in the middle of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}'s pathway, is the entrance to the Seafloor Cavern, where the stolen submarine is parked.
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Groudon}}, who slumbers at its deepest part; in Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Emerald, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Kyogre}}, who slumbers at its deepest part (in Emerald, Groudon initially slumbers at the deepest part of the {{OBP|Magma Hideout|Jagged Pass}} inside [[Mt. Chimney]]).


After resurfacing inside the cave where the submarine is parked, players must navigate through the complex maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where the legendary Pokémon resides. Here they will also find the boss of the team that has stolen the submarine, [[Archie]] or [[Maxie]], who will attempt to control the legendary Pokémon of his desire using one of the orbs found at the top of [[Mt. Pyre]]. However, the Pokémon will not respond well, and instead will escape, causing severe {{weather|rain}} or {{weather|sun}}light, depending on which it is. In Emerald, both types of weather conditions appear, and they change after player takes enough steps (counting actions like using {{m|Fly}})
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the stolen [[Submarine Explorer 1]] is parked at the bottom of the underwater area underneath the Seafloor Cavern. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the shore in the entrance chamber of the Seafloor Cavern.


From here, the player must go to [[Sootopolis City]] and into the [[Cave of Origin]], either to catch the powerful legendary Pokémon (Ruby and Sapphire) or to talk to [[Wallace]] to deduce where {{p|Rayquaza}} is located (Emerald).
In the deepest part, [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} will attempt to control the super-ancient Pokémon using the orb he stole from [[Mt. Pyre]]. However, the Pokémon does not respond well, and instead will escape, causing [[harsh sunlight]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/extremely harsh sunlight{{sup/6|OR}} or [[rain]]{{sup/3|Sa}}/heavy rain{{sup/6|AS}} throughout eastern Hoenn; in Emerald, both rain and harsh sunlight appear, alternating back and forth at regular intervals.

The Seafloor Cavern briefly appeared in a vision by [[Courtney]] in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. Although the interior of the cavern wasn't shown, the top was depicted as a rocky island protruding from the water. At this rocky island, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} appeared and attacked [[Team Magma]].
It properly appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', where it was shown that Team Aqua also visited it. [[Archie]], [[Shelly]], and three {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s went deep inside the cave and found a room where {{p|Kyogre}} was resting. Archie woke it up with the [[Blue Orb]], after which Kyogre transformed into Primal Kyogre and started to go on a rampage throughout the Hoenn region.

The Seafloor Cavern served similar purposes in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] to its purpose in the games. Members of both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] traveled there using [[Submarine Explorer 1]] fitted with a component produced by the [[Devon Corporation]]. They aimed to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively. {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} used a {{p|Relicanth}} to {{m|Dive}} towards the cavern.
[[File:Seafloor Cavern Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Seafloor Cavern in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Seafloor Cavern first appeared in ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]'', where [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] arrived there together thanks to them forming a temporary alliance to combine the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which had been stolen by Team Magma, with its [[Devon Parts|heart component]], which had had been stolen by Team Aqua, allowing them to dive deep enough to reach the undersea cave.
 
In ''[[PS234|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II]]'', [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} by using the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, intending to give Groudon the advantage. However, in ''[[PS242|Very Vexing Volbeat]]'', Maxie started to struggle, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity. As such, he had the Blue Orb be taken away by [[Tabitha]] so that he could focus on controlling Groudon. While doing what he had been ordered to do, Tabitha was ambushed by {{adv|Amber}}, who used his {{p|Volbeat}}'s {{m|Trick}} to steal the Blue Orb and deliver it to [[Archie]]. Archie then locked both Amber and Tabitha inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sent it to dive on autopilot without its heart component in order to do away with the men inside.
 
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} reached the Seafloor Cavern thanks to Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}}, Relly. They started battling against Archie and Maxie, but were unable to retrieve the Orbs before the two {{cat|villainous team leaders}} were overcome by their power and ended up fusing with them. Maxie and Archie then grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.
 
In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', following the end of the weather crisis, Kyogre was revealed to have returned to slumber in the Seafloor Cavern, while Groudon had chosen to sleep inside [[Mt. Chimney]] instead.
 
The Seafloor Cavern was erroneously called the "[[Cave of Origin]]" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}.


The Seafloor Cavern was erroneously called the "[[Cave of Origin]]" in the Chuang Yi translations of Pokémon Adventures (Volumes 19, 20 & 21).  
==Trivia==
* The Seafloor Cavern makes an appearance as a backdrop when a Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] is used in the [[Alola Photo Club]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

Location of Seafloor Cavern in Hoenn.
Pokémon world locations

The Seafloor Cavern (Japanese: 海底洞窟 Seabed Cavern) is a location in Hoenn, deep beneath the water of Route 128. After surfacing inside the cave, there is a maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where the super-ancient Pokémon resides.

Description

In order to reach the cave, the player must use Surf and Dive. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, a Team Aqua Grunt will block access to the deeper rooms from the entrance until after Team Magma is defeated at the Mossdeep Space Center. Inside, Strength is required for navigation; there are also breakable rocks, which cause Rock Smash to be required for navigation in the Generation III games, but not the Generation VI games.

In Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, the cavern is the home of Groudon, who slumbers at its deepest part; in Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald, and Alpha Sapphire, the cavern is the home of Kyogre, who slumbers at its deepest part (in Emerald, Groudon initially slumbers at the deepest part of the Magma Hideout inside Mt. Chimney).

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the bottom of the underwater area underneath the Seafloor Cavern. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the shore in the entrance chamber of the Seafloor Cavern.

In the deepest part, MaxieROR or ArchieSEAS will attempt to control the super-ancient Pokémon using the orb he stole from Mt. Pyre. However, the Pokémon does not respond well, and instead will escape, causing harsh sunlightR/extremely harsh sunlightOR or rainS/heavy rainAS throughout eastern Hoenn; in Emerald, both rain and harsh sunlight appear, alternating back and forth at regular intervals.

Seafloor Cavern in Pokémon Generations

Pokémon Generations

The Seafloor Cavern briefly appeared in a vision by Courtney in The Vision. Although the interior of the cavern wasn't shown, the top was depicted as a rocky island protruding from the water. At this rocky island, Primal Groudon appeared and attacked Team Magma.

It properly appeared in The Cavern, where it was shown that Team Aqua also visited it. Archie, Shelly, and three Team Aqua Grunts went deep inside the cave and found a room where Kyogre was resting. Archie woke it up with the Blue Orb, after which Kyogre transformed into Primal Kyogre and started to go on a rampage throughout the Hoenn region.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Seafloor Cavern in Pokémon Adventures

Ruby & Sapphire arc

The Seafloor Cavern first appeared in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I, where Team Magma and Team Aqua arrived there together thanks to them forming a temporary alliance to combine the Submarine Explorer 1, which had been stolen by Team Magma, with its heart component, which had had been stolen by Team Aqua, allowing them to dive deep enough to reach the undersea cave.

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II, Maxie awakened Kyogre and Groudon by using the Red and Blue Orbs, intending to give Groudon the advantage. However, in Very Vexing Volbeat, Maxie started to struggle, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity. As such, he had the Blue Orb be taken away by Tabitha so that he could focus on controlling Groudon. While doing what he had been ordered to do, Tabitha was ambushed by Amber, who used his Volbeat's Trick to steal the Blue Orb and deliver it to Archie. Archie then locked both Amber and Tabitha inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sent it to dive on autopilot without its heart component in order to do away with the men inside.

In No Armaldo Is an Island, Ruby and Sapphire reached the Seafloor Cavern thanks to Sapphire's Relicanth, Relly. They started battling against Archie and Maxie, but were unable to retrieve the Orbs before the two villainous team leaders were overcome by their power and ended up fusing with them. Maxie and Archie then grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.

In It All Ends Now V, following the end of the weather crisis, Kyogre was revealed to have returned to slumber in the Seafloor Cavern, while Groudon had chosen to sleep inside Mt. Chimney instead.

The Seafloor Cavern was erroneously called the "Cave of Origin" in the Chuang Yi translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes 19, 20, and 21.
