This sealed copy of Pokémon FireRed comes with a wireless link adapter, allowing players to completely forgo a link cable when trading or battling with each other. This game, alongside Pokémon LeafGreen Version as well as Pokémon Emerald Version later on, was one of the first and only Game Boy Advance games to utilize this major innovation. As a predecessor to the first generation of Pokémon games, this level of progression only feels right. Furthermore, according to the item's auction listing on Heritage Auctions' website:

Pokémon FireRed Version – Wata 8.5 A+ Sealed [Foil, With/Wireless Adapter, First Production], GBA Nintendo 2004 USA. Remake of the first mainline game in the Pokémon series. Released alongside Pokémon LeafGreen. This is the first Pokémon remake to be released by Nintendo. The trend of remaking Pokémon games continues to this day with each subsequent generation receiving remakes for newer systems. This first production copy is bundled with a GBA Wireless Adaptor, used for transferring Pokémon and battling wirelessly. Video game for Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
