Alright, there have been far too many threads concerning islands 8 and 9 on this board, and I'm getting tired of repeating myself. So, here it is...an Islands 8 and 9 FAQ.
"These islands are called the Sevii Islands because there are seven islands...or at least that's what the young people believe." -old woman on Quest Island
There are indeed more than seven islands in the Sevii Region, nine of them, to be exact. Navel Rock (a.k.a. "Island 8") and Birth Island (a.k.a. "Island 9") are two small unchartered islands which only appear on the town map after you've visited them.
However, you probably already know that the Seagallop that leaves out of Vermillion City won't take you there...unless, that is, you have the proper ID *wink wink*
Now then, how exactly do you get to these islands? Well, before I answer that question, make sure that you've accomplished the following on your Fire Red / Leaf Green game:
-beat the Elite Four (for the first time)
-find the little girl in the Berry Woods and give the meteorite to her father (on
Kin Island (a.k.a. "Island 3")
Once you're sure you've done both the things above, here is what you need to get to the two secret islands (both are key items):
Auroraticket: A ticket required to board the ship to BIRTH ISLAND. It glows beautifully.
Mysticticket: A required to board the ship to NAVEL ROCK. It glows with a mystic light.
But, how do we get these items? Well, sadly and simply....you can't. Unless you were at one of the three Pokémon Rocks America events last year, there is no way to get the tickets. Nintendo says on their official web site that you'll be able to download the tickets from certain retail locations, but no such locations have yet been established.
Tickets are downloaded from a special Nintendo device called a Wonder Spot, which communicates with FR/LG wirelessly using the Mystery Event feature. (To unlock the Mystery Event, go to any Pokémart and inspect the clipboard on the counter. Fill out the servey with "Link together with all")
The Mystery Event ONLY exists to communicate with a Wonder Spot, and you can't use it with another GBA, like you could in G/S/C. It's not certain at this time whether the tickets can be traded from one GBA to another using the "friend" option in the mystery event.
Once you have the tickets, go talk to the sailor at the end of the docks at Vermillion City, and he'll register the tickets, allowing you to go to Navel Rock and Birth Island as many times as you want.
Now, on to the islands themselves!
~Navel Rock~
Navel Rock, a.k.a. Island 8, is located between islands 4 and 5. Once you have the Mysticticket, go to the dock in Vermillion City, and take the Seagallop-High Speed 12 to get to the island. Note that you can fly to islands 4 and 5 from this island, but you can't fly TO this island. Also, you can only get here from Vermillion (in other words, there is no boat from island 4 to Navel Rock, etc.)
Once you've arrived, walk up into the cave, and follow the path up, ignoring the passages that you'll see on your left and right. Once you can't go up any more, you'll come to a long room with two ladders: one heading down, and the other heading up. If you walk down the ladder, and keep heading down on the next screens, you'll get to Lugia. The ladder heading up leads to Ho-oh.
Both Lugia and Ho-oh are on Level 70, so come prepared with powerful pokémon, plenty of healing items, and at least 90 ultra balls.
