Mt. Pyre

Mt. Pyre (Japanese: おくりび Mt. Pyre) is a location in Hoenn. It has an interior and exterior section and is located on.

Mt. Pyre can be considered a counterpart to Kanto's Pokémon Tower and House of Memories, Sinnoh's Lost Tower, and Unova's Celestial Tower. It houses the many graves of Pokémon. Many grieving Trainers also visit the Tower to pay their respects. Also present within the mountain are thrill-seeking Trainers who will battle the player when encountered.

An old couple that live on the summit of the mountain are well versed in the legends of Hoenn. They guard the Red Orb and Blue Orb that are sought by Team Aqua and Team Magma.

In, , Team Magma or Team Aqua will steal the Blue Orb or the Red Orb from the summit of Mt. Pyre and use it to awaken or. In Generation III, after the Legendary Pokémon is subdued, the player can return to the summit to watch Maxie or Archie return the orb to its proper place, after which the undefined returns their own orb, and the villainous team's leader departs; Team Aqua and Team Magma are afterwards not seen for the rest of the game.

In, both Team Magma and Team Aqua will take one of the orbs to awaken Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. After the player has subdued the Legendary Pokémon, the player can return to the summit to watch Maxie and Archie return the Blue Orb and Red Orb to their proper places and then depart. After the orbs are returned, Team Aqua and Team Magma are not seen for the rest of the game.

In Generation VI, however, the player gets to keep the orbs, as they are the keys to unlocking Primal Reversion, and sees both Team Aqua and Team Magma during the Delta Episode and at the Battle Resort.

Phoebe of the Elite Four trains at Mt. Pyre. After the Delta Episode, the player can find Phoebe near the summit, talking to spirits. She says she came to visit her grandmother, upon whom the player character made a lasting impression.

Mt. Pyre first appeared in I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning II, where Tate and Liza were shown to be on guard duty at the summit in place of the old couple, thus preventing them from attending the emergency Gym Leader meeting at Fortree City. They were attacked by Blaise, who used his fire illusions to distract the twins and easily steal the Red and Blue Orbs.

In Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow, it was revealed that had once visited Mt. Pyre in his younger days. Despite the Red and Blue Orbs being forbidden to be touched by anybody, Spenser had been unable to resist the beauty of the Blue Orb, and had ended up touching it. As a result, he had started having nightmares featuring.

Trivia

 * When looking from the outside, there appears to be nothing at the summit. However, going through Mt. Pyre will reveal that there is. A similar situation occurs with Navel Rock.
 * In, the player can talk to a on the first floor who says "... No, you're not the one. ... Ah..." This is identical to the mysterious Hex Maniac that appears in Kalos's Lumiose City in . The relation between these two events is unknown.
 * In, a man on the second floor mentions that the ground used to be full of holes where one could fall into. This is a reference to Generation III, where presumably the same man complains of having gotten hurt while falling down from one of the holes, which no longer exist in Generation VI.
