Navel Island (Japanese: ネーブル島 Navel Island) is located in the eastern region of the Orange Archipelago. It is a large island, that is dominated by an incredibly tall mountain.

Main article: Navel Gym

A little to the left of town, would-be challengers will notice a large gate that leads to the Navel Gym, which is perched atop the tall mountain. While a cable car to the summit is on offer, Danny encourages his opponents to make the steep climb on foot to truly test a challenger's strength.

Instead of a Pokémon battle, the challenger is put through three trial rounds, ending with a toboggan race down the mountain to earn the coveted Sea Ruby Badge.

-A little to the left of town, the challenger will meet a large gate that leads to the Navel Gym. It's a large gate with a painting of a [[Poké Ball]]. Inside the gates is a path leading up the large mountain and a cable car to go up there.
+A little to the left of town, would-be challengers will notice a large gate that leads to the Navel Gym, which is perched atop the tall mountain. While a cable car to the summit is on offer, Danny encourages his opponents to make the steep climb on foot to truly test a challenger's strength.
-There is a sign at the bottom of the hill saying "Welcome all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. All [[Navel Gym]] challengers must climb to the top of the mountain. Trainers must reach the top on their own. Pokémon may not provide help. Anyone using a Pokémon will be disqualified. Those accompanying the trainer should use the cable car."
+Instead of a [[Pokémon battle]], the challenger is put through three trial rounds, ending with a toboggan race down the mountain to earn the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.
-Eventually, the path turns into a steep mountain that the Trainer has to climb. About three-quarters up, it begins to snow and the temperature drops because of the altitude. A cabin at the top marks the end of the mountain, where the real test will begin.
-The first round is seeing who can freeze a geyser the fastest with {{type|Ice}} attacks. There are two, one for the challenger, and one for the Gym Leader.
-The second round is sculpting an ice sled from the frozen geyser using only 3 Pokémon. The design is given on a sign in front of the two ice geysers.
-And finally, the third round is a race to see who can get to the bottom of the mountain on their sled first. At the top is a start line, and on the beach below is a goal line. The challenger and Gym Leader are allowed to use 3 Pokémon to help them steer. The one to win best 2 out of 3 or all three wins the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

-==Trivia==
-*It takes its name from the common genus of orange.
-*The island shares similarities with [[Navel Rock]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; not only do they both have the word "navel" in their names, and they are also home to an extremely tall mountain.
