In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of the chapter, the Red and Blue Orbs are referred to as "jewels" (the Red Jewel and the Blue Jewel, respectively). They first appeared in ''[[PS228|I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning II]]'', being guarded by [[Tate and Liza]] on Mt. Pyre. 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 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.

Later {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} faced Maxie and Archie in a battle, but had difficulty in reaching them. After Ruby's [[Fofo]] finally managed defeat the two evil team leaders with {{m|Weather Ball}}, Ruby tried to take the Orbs from Maxie and Archie's hands, only to find out that they had started to merge with their holders, making him unable to remove them. Realizing that should the Orbs be absorbed completely, they could never be retrieved, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Covet}} on them, but failed. The Orbs then completely merged with the two men, causing the patterns of Groudon and Kyogre to appear on their arms, indicating that ''they'' were now being controlled by the Legendary Pokémon, instead of the other way around. Maxie and Archie grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.

After the two Legendary Pokémon had started to battle at [[Sootopolis City]], Ruby and Sapphire realized that with the [[Meteorite]] fragments given to them by [[Winona]], they could stop the Orbs' influence over Maxie and Archie, due to them having the ability to stop the power of nature. Using a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Absol}}'s {{m|Magic Coat}} to reflect the meteorite's energy at the two evil team leaders, Ruby and Sapphire were able to turn them back to normal, but also caused a large burst of energy in the process, knocking the two Trainers unconscious. They later woke up at the {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, where they then spent some time training with [[Juan]], Tate, and Liza, preparing for the final battle. During the training, Ruby found out that the Orbs needed a human to control them, so that their powers could be maximized, and be absorbed into their controllers. This led him to realize that the Orbs were now inside of him and Sapphire, having chosen them as their new controllers. Juan told Ruby and Sapphire that they needed to learn to control the Orbs, because if their minds weren't strong enough, they would wind up getting controlled by them, just like Maxie and Archie. During the training, [[Courtney]] showed up and offered her help for Ruby to stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, as everything had already gone beyond anything Team Magma or Team Aqua wanted, and there was no point of letting the entire [[Hoenn]] getting destroyed. At first, Ruby was reluctant to accept the offer, but eventually agreed in order to protect Sapphire from being possessed by the Blue Orb.

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 its end.

Afterwards, 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 on the Orbs with his [[Scanner]].
