You must find a ruby and a sapphire to work a machine connecting to the hoenn region
visit all the different islands and give celio the ruby and sapphire.
The sapphire orb is in ruby and sapphire, not firered and leafgreen.
To complete the Sevii Islands quest for the Network Machine on Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen you need to find the Ruby and Sapphire. The Ruby can be found in Mt.Ember and the Sapphire can be found in Chrono Island.
After finding the Ruby and the Sapphire you can trade pokémon with those versions.
SO that you can trade with POKeMON sapphire and ruby.
Sapphire and Ruby came out before firered and leafgreen but they are compatible with them.
sapphire in dotted hole. ruby in mt. ember.

It is FireRed that needs the Sapphire & Ruby Crystals :) x
you don't get a second ruby you get a sapphire
Trade registeel from ruby,sapphire or emerald to firered.
Ruby and sapphire both were made in 2003, firered and leafgreen both were made 2004 and emerald was made in 2005. So to answer your question yes ruby and sapphire were made before firered and leafgreen though firered and leafgreen are based on the original red and blue version so if you want to get technical firered and leafgreen where made first. But in reality ruby and sapphire were made first.
