Mt. Chimney (Japanese: えんとつ山Mt. Chimney) is a large volcano in the Hoenn region. The peak is accessible via cable car from Route 112, and from there a path south leads down Jagged Pass.
After the villainous team has left, Lava Cookies are available for purchase from an old lady for $200 at the top of Mt. Chimney. In Generation III, several Trainers also appear around the crater and are available for battle.
Mt. Chimney is a volcanic mountain located in the northern half of Hoenn, directly northeast of Lavaridge Town. At its southern base lies Route 112, the Cable Car Base Station, and both the northern and southern openings of Fiery Path, a tunnel through the mountain itself. The Cable Car line inclines up the side of the volcano northwesterly until it reaches the other terminal at the peak. Here a choice can be made to continue on the short ascent to the magma crater of Mt. Chimney, or take Jagged Pass descending the south side of the mountain; a trek littered with ledges, mountainous foliage and ash-covered grass hiding wild Pokémon, then finally vacating back onto Route 112, on a pathway west to Lavaridge.
The volcano accumulates a vast cloud of soot above it which rains ash down upon Route 113 to the north, leaving the grass and trees in the area layered in residue.

Mt. Chimney was the location for the episode Fight For the Meteorite. The situation was the same as in the games except that the Meteor Falls were not visited and Ash and Professor Cozmo were both at the mountain at the time. Also, it is possibly to the east of Forina.
In Pokémon Adventures it is stated that Mt. Chimney is an integral part of the water cycle of the Hoenn region, as the heat emitted by it evaporates water from the sea around the region. In the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Team Aqua succeeded in ending the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney by tricking Professor Cozmo to use the meteorite he had found to power up their machinery. Sapphire, despite defeating Aqua Admin Matt, failed to stop their mission. Tabitha and Flannery attempted to revive the volcano but were unsuccessful. The cessation of volcanic activity resulted in the region cooling off, which in turn caused the sea level to rise and flooding in the region. The disruption of the natural balance was also one reason for Kyogre and Groudon's awakening.
The event was one of very few that Gabby and Ty could not report on, because of the order from their boss (which turns out to be Team Aqua's leader, Archie).
After Kyogre and Groudon stopped fighting, it was reported that Groudon chose Mt. Chimney as its new resting place.
Trivia
In Generation III Hoenn games, all waves and flowers blow in the wind to the southwest. Despite this, ash from Mt. Chimney is constantly falling to its north, on Route 113.
A man in Verdanturf Town, which is located to the southwest of Mt. Chimney, says that the wind never blows volcanic ash in that direction. However, the wind should inevitably carry ash there.
