Blue Orb: Difference between revisions

{{ItemInfobox/BagRow|IV|Key items|colorscheme=Items|group={{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}}}

Since {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} in [[Generation VI]], it is a type of [[held item]] that causes Kyogre to undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyogre|Primal Kyogre]] upon entering battle.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the same events that happened in Ruby and Sapphire take place, only both Team Magma and [[Team Aqua]] appear and therefore both the Blue Orb and the [[Red Orb]] are stolen. However, the player does not obtain the Blue Orb.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, the Blue Orb is given to the player by [[Mr. Pokémon]] after {{ga|Red}} has been defeated and both the [[National Pokédex]] and a [[Kanto]] [[first partner Pokémon]] have been obtained from [[Professor Oak]]. After the orb has been received, the player can encounter {{p|Kyogre}} at the [[Embedded Tower]].

The Blue Orb debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', where it was shown to be under the possession of [[Maxie]] to be used to control {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}. While [[Shelly]] freed {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} from [[Team Magma]]'s imprisonment, {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to grab the Blue Orb during the chaos. The orb then unexpectedly fused with Pikachu, possessing him and giving him a massive power boost, but also causing him to go on sudden rampages. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', it was revealed that Groudon had deliberately caused the Blue Orb to fuse with Pikachu to get his aid in freeing itself from [[Team Aqua]]'s submarine. After Groudon was freed, it proceeded to battle Kyogre. Once Kyogre was defeated, the Blue Orb extracted itself from Pikachu's body, and was destroyed shortly afterwards, along with the Red Orb.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

The Blue Orb (referred to as the "Blue Jewel" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation) first appeared in ''[[PS228|I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning II]]'', being guarded by [[Tate and Liza]] on Mt. Pyre, along with the Red Orb. Despite their best efforts to protect the Orbs, they were eventually stolen by {{tc|Magma Admin}} [[Blaise]]. In ''[[PS234|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II]]'', at the [[Seafloor Cavern]], Maxie used the Orbs to awaken both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}, intending to give the former the advantage by using the Orbs. However, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity, he had the Blue Orb 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.

After completing their training, Ruby and Sapphire left the Mirage Island and arrived near Sootopolis City. Having already extracted the Red Orb from his body and having Sapphire extract the Blue Orb from her body, Ruby locked her inside [[Wallace]]'s aircar to protect her, before leaving with Courtney. They tried to stop the battle between the two Legendary Pokémon, but without success. However, as [[Norman]] arrived with {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, the third super-ancient Pokémon of Hoenn, Ruby was able to combine its power with the power of the Orbs to finally stop the fight and calm down Kyogre and Groudon, sending them to continue their slumber. Archie and Maxie then emerged from the [[Cave of Origin]], stealing the Orbs back in order to restart the fight, but were stopped by {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}} and {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}}. With the two men immobilized, Ruby sent out his sixth Pokémon—{{adv|Celebi}}—to swipe the Orbs and destroy them, effectively putting the conflict to an end.

Afterward, the gemstones that were formed from the shattered Orbs were picked up by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who revealed that these gemstones were actually the Orbs' true forms: the {{i|Ruby}} and the {{i|Sapphire}}. Blaise secretly witnessed this, and decided to keep track of the Orbs with his [[Scanner]].

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Bill}} revealed that the Ruby and Sapphire, which he had been keeping at the [[Sea Cottage]] ever since [[Team Rocket]]'s defeat, had been regenerating over time back into their states as the Orbs, leading him to realize that the Orbs were manifestations of Hoenn's natural energy. The Orbs were later stolen by Archie and Maxie, who headed back to Hoenn with them. When Amber and Blaise manipulated {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Groudon and Kyogre through its rings, the two super-ancient Pokémon started moving towards the Orbs. When the Legendary duo reached Maxie and Archie, the villainous team leaders let them fuse together with the Orbs, causing them both to undergo Primal Reversion.
