Mt. Pyre Emerald · Dungeon

Mt. Pyre is a mountain graveyard for Pokémon on Route 122, reached by Surfing south from Route 121. Its six-floor indoor tower is full of Psychic and Hex Maniac trainers, and the outer slopes lead up to the fog-covered summit. There Team Aqua's Archie takes the Red Orb after Team Magma have already stolen the Blue Orb, and the old woman guarding them gives you the Magma Emblem.
