Lowkey Winona and Wallace are kinda useless. I'm invested.

I continued with the series because it is simply amazing. In this volume the two legendary pokemon Groudon and Kyogre are about to awaken and the gym leaders are trying to stop this from happening.If the gym leaders fail mass destruction will rein upon the hoenn region. there are a lot of plot twists sutch as when team magma got a hold of both orbs so they can control the pokemon that team aqua is trying to control.Ruby and Sapphire have now met and have a mentor to guide them in a way.Sapphire has figured out where the evil oganizations are hiding but need ruby's help but she dosn't realize that until he tells her.

Provavelmente o melhor da saga “Ruby & Sapphire” até o momento (o que não significa muita coisa).

E assim, sei que é um shonen e que o público são jovens garotos, mas será que não tem como ensiná-los que os homens não precisam ser o salvadores da Pátria? Já achei esse problema em outros volumes e acho que a história já evoluiu em alguns pontos, mas pow… sempre tem o homem f*da que vem resolver tudo que as mulheres estão penando pra resolver. Cansa um pouco.

De qualquer forma foi o volume com mais ação e com mais variedade de temas sendo abordados.

I had to give it five stars because Ruby has the most incredible character development I’ve ever seen. Well done, Mr. Kusaka.

My new favourite in the Hoenn saga.
Things are heating up in the Hoenn region -- two legendaries are stirring from a slumber and it's up to Ruby and Sapphire to stop them from wreaking havoc in the region.

No me esperaba como sigue esta historia. El desarrollo de Ruby me parece brutal. Y se roba toda la atención. Sapphire cae bien pero no creo que tenga un arco tan fuerte por ahora. La trama de los equipos Magma y Aqua realmente está empezando con su climax, lo que me da mucha curiosidad. Parece bastante temprano para empezar con eso, pero por el momento confio en que puedan mantenerme enganchado hasta el final.

Ruby really sucked in this volume. And where he always was a bit self-centered, they over emphasized that characteristic here. Like, he has consistently rose to the occasion in previous volumes but not here. Meh, I'm over this series already.

The character development in this volume is great, really pulling together everything over the last several volumes to show the gripping plot. I don't know why Rayquaza is on the cover, as the bulk of this volume is dealing with Kyogre/Groudon's resurrection and terror.

Somehow this part of the story is a bit slow to get going even though it’s the “Disaster” section of the story.

But once it did get going it’s the best part so far.

The development for Ruby in this one was great. Definitely the Adventures protagonist who's gotten the best arc so far.

I enjoyed it. There was quite a bit of drama, I loved it and kinda hated it at the same time. Ruby and Sapphire's friendship has certainly evolved over the course of time.

Kept up the action and didn't get repetitive - feels like every other volume in the Ruby/Sapphire arc is great, while the ones in between are just filler and repeating the broad strokes of what's been happening for like 4 volumes now.

Really climatic build up and the little romantic tension is good. Ruby and Sapphire's story at this point is making me miss the previous Pokedex Holders less and less, but you have to wonder why they are not called in to help the situation.
