In Pokémon Fire Red you will need to get the Ruby and the Sapphire to connect to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Getting the Ruby isn't that difficult, but tracking down the Sapphire requires a wild quest through some of the Sevii Islands. If you have both gems, you will be able to transfer your Hoenn Pokémon to Fire Red.

Part 1 of 2: Getting the Ruby

1. Beat the Elite Four. You will have to bypass the main storyline by defeating the Elite Four to get the Ruby and the Sapphire so that you can connect with Hoenn. For this you need all Gym Badges and a strong Pokémon team (at least level 60 or higher). Read this guide for tips on how to beat the Elite Four.
2. Complete the National Pokedex. Another requirement that you will have to meet before looking for the Ruby and the Sapphire is obtaining the National Pokedex. This means that you must have 60 different types of Pokémon in your Pokedex. Once you've seen 60 different types of Pokémon, you'll need to talk to Professor Oak to receive the National Pokedex.
3. From Vermillion take the ferry to One (Knot) Island. To get the Sapphire you will first need to find the Ruby. At the Cinnabar Island Pokémon Center, talk to Bill about visiting the Sevii Islands if you haven't visited them before. Then take the ferry from Vermillion to One Island.
4. Talk to Celio to learn more about the Ruby. Find Celio in the Pokémon Center and talk to him about his machine. He will tell you he needs the Ruby and will give you an access pass to the first three islands (if you haven't already got it from him).
   • If you haven't brought the Meteorite to Two Island yet, you will need to complete that quest first.
5. Climb to Mt. Ember. You will find the Ruby at Mt Ember, located on the same island. Make sure you have a Pokémon that knows Strength and a Pokémon that knows Rock Smash.
6. Learn the first Rocket Password. You will overhear a conversation between two members of Team Rocket as they talk about bringing treasures to the Rocket Warehouse. You will find that a password is required to enter it, and the Rocket Members will accidentally give away the first password "Goldeen need log". Enter the cave after they leave.
7. Follow the Ruby Path. Go to B5F, at the bottom of the cave, to find the Ruby. The way down is on the southwest corner of B3F. The Ruby is in the center of the room on B5F.
8. Take the Ruby and take it to Celio. Go through the exit on B3F to return to Celio via a shorter route. He will tell you that he needs another gem to run the machine, and will give you an access pass that will allow you to visit all the islands.

Part 2 of 2: Finding the Sapphire

1. Go to Four (Floe) Island. During your quest to find the Sapphire you will have to visit Four Island. Here you will be notified of the location of the Rocket Warehouse. As you approach Four Island you will see your rival standing on the beach defying you.
2. Go through Icefall Cave. The entrance to this cave is in the northeast corner of the island. To get to the island you will first have to use Rock Smash. When entering Icefall Cave, pay attention to the ice crusts on the floor. If you step on such a crust twice, you will fall through the floor to the level below.
   • Fall through the ice on the north side of the first level of the cave on purpose.
   • Climb up the ladder again, then deliberately fall through the ice crust in the eastern part of the new room.
   • Slide down the ice and climb up the ladder. After you climb the ladder you must fall through the southern ice crust.
   • Skate up, then right, then left, then fall through the ice again. Get the ability "Waterfall" and learn it from your Pokémon.
   • In the previous cave, go up the waterfall using your newfound ability, then climb down the ladder to meet Lorelai.
3. Help Lorelai defeat the Rocket Grunts. If you fight the Rocket Grunts with Lorelai you will discover that the Rocket Warehouse is located on Five Island. Unfortunately you still only know one password.
4. Visit Six (Fortune) Island and find Dotted Hole. You can find the entrance to Dotted Hole in Ruin Valley, on the south side of the island. To enter Dotted Hole you will have to use Cut at the door.
5. Solve the Dotted Hole maze. The Braille signs in Dotted Hole will show you where to go. You can also read the answer to this just here. Fall through the hole when you first enter Dotted Hole.
   • The signs will indicate the direction in which to walk.
   • To solve the maze, go Up → Left → Right → Down.
6. Try to get the Sapphire and learn the second Rocket Password through it. After you have solved the maze you will find the Sapphire in the center of the room. If you try to get him, however, Team Rocket will burst in and steal him from you. In the commotion you will learn the second password for Rocket Warehouse: Learn the second Rocket Password
7. Travel to Five (Chrono) Island. This is the location of Rocket Warehouse, and now that you know both passwords you can enter and take back your Sapphire.
8. Enter Rocket Warehouse. Rocket Warehouse is close to the village and you will have to go through the conveyor belt maze to get inside. The maze is actually quite simple, and it's worth going through all the routes to collect the items and fight the trainers.
9. Take Gideon the Sapphire. After making your way past Team Rocket Admins, you will finally be able to fight Gideon. After you defeat his five Pokémon, he will give you the Sapphire, which you can take to Celio on One Island. Once you've done this, you can trade Pokémon with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
