————————————————————
Soaring high above over the blue ocean bed, they hadn't even realized when so much dark clouds have covered their entire sky view. It was still obviously a very sunny day just a few minutes ago, and the sea was as calm as it ever was, but the moment the super-ancient Legendary Pokémon Kyogre appeared, disaster struck wherever it looked upon.
They were still in the sky over the sea near Monsu Island, and now their seem to be some connecting there.
The huge waves, the huge twisters, and the lightning flashing from time to time between the dense dark clouds were all the scene from a doomsday.
But seeing this scene, Archie became more and more excited, more excited than ever.
Holding the Red Orb in his hand, he looked up to the sky and smirked in the midst of the tall stormy waves.
He no longer paid attention to Shelly or any of the other members of his Team Aqua beside him. He didn't even care when his once left hand man fell to his death, not to mention some random grunts. Instead, he boarded the flying vessel his scientists have created for this exact purpose and looked at the big blue whale churning on the sea. "I'm coming now, Kyogre! Get ready to serve your new MASTER!"
He came from the air and looked at Team Magma's helicopter. His extremely arrogant voice was heard by everyone, he was just showing off something that he can never truly understand, "Maxie, I'm better than you! I'M BETTER!!"
Seeing his appearance, Maxie gritted her teeth and said, "You black brute!"
Maxie was very unwilling to lose to Archie of all people, the guy he hated the most and also the one he once understood the most. He also tried his best to obtain the Red Orb and successfully captured Kyogre. He was originally in the same position as Archie was.
But how could it be like this now? The Blue Orb was taken away by that boy, and his prized Kyogre was also let go from his control, and his main target Groudon was still in the hands of the opposing Team Aqua.
It was all because of that boy named Ash, and the one who broke into his teams secret holding for Kyogre, and now he was the one to be passive now. He couldn't do anything.
But he also did forgot that those who do evil will be punished—even by themselves if necessary.
Under the gloomy color of the sky, a distinct blue symbol appeared on the Red Orb in Archie's hand, glowing with dazzling boood red light. A mysterious blue symbol also appeared on Kyogre's body one it jumped out of the water.
"Show them our true power, Kyogre! Submerge the world into the depths of your kingdom!"
Many tall stormy waves, thunder and lightning galloping through, and terrifyingly strong whirlpools set off on the sea surface. The super-ancient Kyogre truly showed why it was known as the Creator of the Ocean. The power of it to raise a tsunami like nothing ever seen before and to sink the entire world under its might—terrifying.
The first and oldest of every Legendary Pokémon was unmatched.
No matter how strong Ash's Rayquaza now was, he was still not even close to the power his ancestor used to defeat the original Kyogre and Groudon.
Archie and his Team Aqua attempts to realize their ambition to conquer the world by expanding the ocean and submerging any part in it's entirety.
At this moment, under the erosion of the power of the super-ancient beasts, his ambition was being continuously amplified and darkened to an extent that even he could have never imagined.
From the original expansion of the ocean and having complete control of it, it has become the sinking of the entire world to the bottom of the sea.
This was not Kyogre's will, this was Archie's will as he had failed to control the power of Kyogre inside of the Red Orb.
That would be a catastrophe event for the entire world and all life in it.
Nothing could survive in it like it used to beforez
"Maxie, I originally wanted to keep you and your nerds to watch me conquer the whole world and see me expend the seas, but it seems that's impossible now! Get a taste of this!" As soon as Archie finished speaking, Kyogre suddenly jumped out of the water.
It's huge fins suddenly flapped, and a giant hurricane blew up from the sea bed, forming a terrifying waterspout in front of them.
The collision of air current caused more thunder and lightning hit the ocean waters, which now seemed to tear the entire sea in half like it was some divine entity—which it technically was!
"Archie, let go of that Red Orb in your hand, you will be possessed by its inherent evil!" Lance rode in top of his Dragonite to Archie's side. He still hoped to persuade Archie to rein in the danger before teaching him some lessons.
However, Archie was completely ignoring his advice.
Ash jumped off his Charizard's back, found Maxie, and looked upwards at the unscrupulous Archie in the sky. He said, "The Orbs were originally made by the ancients peoples of a mysterious clan, they intended these to control the super-ancient Pokémon's and use them as their weapons!"
"Huh?" Maxie's attention was attracted by Ash's extremely authoritarian words.
"But the power of super-ancient Pokémon had far exceeds the wisdom or powers of ancient people! What they did in the end was nothing more than blasphemy against nature! They used whatever of the blood from them and created those Orbs!!"
"Maxie, I have seen far too many people lose themselves under the force of a complete new power! The more evil the person who uses these two Orbs are, the harder it is to control the destructive nature of the super-ancient Pokémon's like Kyogre and Groudon!"
"That's why these two Orbs were imprisoned so far down in those ruins! The purpose for doing that in the first place by them was to prevent humans from making the same mistake again! Even after realizing all of that, you and Archie, two absolute imbeciles, actually tried your best to find those two Orbs and awakened the sleeping super-ancient Legendary Pokémon's—the original Creators of the Sea and Land!"
Ash looked at the kneeling Maxie with his burning red eyes. All of this was naturally told to him by his new partner, the original super-ancient Groudon. The same one who created the continents under Arceus' order.
And now, the reason why he found Maxie was to stop everything in front of him and to destroy the last bit of ambition he had in him—just for fun.
Rayquaza was still just a young and energetic boy, there was no real way he can compete with the original super ancient Kyogre that only some of his first ancestors were able to defeat.
The only way now was to awaken the super-ancient Groudon in the hands of Team Aqua, who was the real owner of the Blur Orb in Ash's current body. The Blue Orb in Ash's body was slowly losing its strength because of Ash's Owns Own Life ability.
Only the original super-ancient Groudon and Ash, who now possesses the Blue Orb, can stop this crisis.
"Maxie, if you had some little brain in your head, you should have sent someone to infiltrate Team Aqua and let them break Groudon's seal!" Ash looked at Maxie, and sure enough he nodded a little.
This kind of spy infiltration plan was a common tactic of these evil organizations. It's a pity that the members of Team Aqua was superior in this matter and were also able to kill all the spies sent by Team Magma.
But their last spy was still found out where Groudon was being held and sent them the location before killing himself, it was just above the submarines of Team Aqua.
"Take me there immediately!"
Looking at Lance who was still trying to persuadArchie to stop his madness, Ash simply shook his head, grabbed Maxie's collar, and held him captive.
Then, he took off the purple Master Ball from his chest, "Stand by for chaos, Rayquaza!"
"ROOIAIAIRR!"
His young and energetic Rayquaza roared onto the stage, and the Kyogre suddenly surged out of the sea, and a blast of pure destructive Hyper Beam hit towards him without any hesitation.
"Let's go!"
Ash quickly jumped up onto his Rayquaza's back, told something to his Charizard and took off quickly. The destructive Hyper Beam hit the sea part where they just flew away from, immediately arousing a wave of waters several meters high.
"Charizard, this is Rayquaza! Our new partner!" Even at such a critical moment, Ash still had time to introduce his two Pokémon's to each other, but he also completely ignored the shocked look on Maxie's face who was barely there by Charizard's claws!
"Ray... Rayquaza!" Maxie couldn't believe his eyes. How could he, someone who was very familiar with super ancient legends of the Hoenn Region, not know about the existence and power of Rayquaza?
Legend has it that Rayquaza can single-handedly calm down the disputes and anger between Groudon and Kyogre, and was considered the leader of ultra-ancient Pokémon's—more so the Weather Trio.
"Who… just who the hell are you?" Only at this moment did Maxie realize that all of his previous arrogance was the reason for all of his failures.
Ash was extremely fast in what he did and used his Aura Sense to immediately find Groudon's extremely powerful Aura in the upper part of the submarines section of Yeam Aqua's water base in no time. It was docked on the shore of Monsu Island.
Shelly and some others were already there on top, staring blankly at sky to where Archie, their leader, who seemed to have changed into a completely different person.
Seeing Rayquaza coming, she and everyone else was stunned to oblivion.
"It's you!" She recognized Ash immediately, even before he could come down, "I always knew that you were anything but not a normal person! But this?!"
"Is this the place where your people kept my Groudon in slumber?" Looking at the huge mechanical cabinet cage, Ash's eyes lit up with that fiery crimson red light again.
"Rayquaza, destroy that Hyper Beam!"
"Charizard, Blast Burn!"
"Pikachu, Thunder!"
The three Pokémon around Ash all launched their attacks simultaneously, and the large cabinet cage used to imprison Groudon was shattered into billions of small pieces. No matter how hard it was, it was nothing in front of their power.
All Team Aqua saw was a mysterious crest appearing on Ash's chest.
The controlled super-ancient Groudon suddenly opened his scarlet eyes and looked towards where Ash and his Pokémon's were.
