Magma Cavern (Japanese: マグマの ちてい, Magma Depths) is a main-story dungeon accessible in both Red and Blue Rescue Teams. It is the twelfth dungeon in the main story arc. Prior to the dungeon opening, the player must complete Uproar Forest and at least 4 rescue missions. This then triggers a cutscene of a missing team whilst traversing through Magma Cavern, and after this the player must finish at least 2 rescue missions in order to actually unlock the dungeon. Groudon resides in this particular dungeon, and at the final third floor in Magma Cavern Pit.

Plot

After the events of Mt. Freeze and the clear-up between the main character and the townsfolk, they encounter another earthquake, this time one much larger. Everyone then concludes that the earthquake is a result of Groudon awakening beneath the earth, and Alakazam offers to set out to calm Groudon down. The partner offers for it and the player to also aid in the journey, but Lombre tells them not to as it is too big and dangerous of a job for them. Several days later, and Team ACT have still not returned. The townsfolk, getting worried once again, offer every rescue team to gather together in order to go both find Team ACT and calm Groudon down. After many hesitant exchanges, Blastoise, Octillery and Golem offer to step up and aid the team, each using their strong points as advantages. The townsfolk agree on this choice, and continue to do their work as always. A few more days pass, and it has been noted that the newly assembled team have also not returned. Another meeting is held with all the rescue teams gathered once again, but this time not a lot of Pokémon are willing to go out and help at all. The partner then steps in, stating with great confidence that they and the player will help look for the missing persons and calm Groudon down. The other teams and townsfolk agree on this, and the partner and player then prepare for their journey to Magma Cavern. That night, Gardevoir routinely visits the player again, and tells them that their journey is slowly winding to a halt and that they will discover the truth about why they became a Pokémon in the first place. She then leaves, and the player wakes up the next day and joins their partner (who is waiting outside as usual) for the treacherous journey ahead.

After going down the floors of Magma Cavern, they find Team ACT defeated on Magma Cavern Pit Floor 2, and the team informs them of how powerful Groudon is. The player and partner still continue on, and they soon find themselves facing a very angry Groudon, who has been maddened that it was disturbed from its sleep. Groudon then engages in battle with the player, in which it is defeating, calming it in the process.

The player and partner then return from the depths with Team ACT, and head back to the Town Square, who are anxiously waiting for their return.
