[[Brawly]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} continues to battle [[Mack]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, while at the [[Cove Lily Motel|Lilycove Inn]], [[Roxanne]] sees the blast from Brawly's attacks and realizes he must be getting the upper hand. [[Magma Admin Courtney|Marge]]tells Roxanne to pay attention, and has her {{p|Ninetales}} leap at Roxanne's {{p|Cradily}}. Cradily uses its tentacles to tie Ninetales down, preventing it from moving. Roxanne figures out that Marge is trying to lift the {{m|Block}} set on {{p|Groudon}}; a plan Marge agrees to. Though Ninetales attacks Cradily, it regains strength quickly by using {{m|Ingrain}} to root itself to the earth through the floor of the inn and absorb energy.


A sudden rattling noise makes Roxanne realize there might still be people hiding inside the inn, and Marge melts a door to reveal a programmer, graphic designer, and game designer who are still stuck inside the building. Marge threatens to use the same mix of acid and berry juice on the three people that she used to melt the door, and Roxanne, unable to act, sees Nosepass take a direct hit from Ninetales that knocks it out, lifting the Block on Groudon.
A sudden rattling noise startles the two, and makes Roxanne realize that there might still be people hiding inside the inn. Marge melts down the door to reveal a programmer, graphic designer, and game designer who are still stuck inside the building. Marge threatens to use the same mix of acid and berry juice on the three people that she used to melt the door. Roxanne, unable to act, is forced to see Nosepass defeated by Ninetales, lifting the Block on Groudon in the process.


Deep inside the [[Seafloor Cavern]], [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] are controlling {{p|Kyogre}} and Groudon with the Blue and Red Orbs. {{Adv|Ruby}} and {{Adv|Sapphire}} have finally caught up to them, ready for a fight, and all of their Pokémon clash in a furious melee. Ruby and Sapphire identify Archie and Maxie as the leaders of the [[Team Aqua|two]] [[Team Magma|teams]] they've been fighting throughout their travels in Hoenn, and determine that the two Orbs are what are giving them the power to control Kyogre and Groudon.
Deep inside the [[Seafloor Cavern]], {{p|Kyogre}} and Groudon continue moving about whilst being controlled by the Red and Blue Orbs. [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] approach {{Adv|Ruby}} and {{Adv|Sapphire}} and introduces themselves. Immediately, both parties send out their Pokémon to do battle against one another. After managing to hold down Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}} and Archie's {{p|Walrein}}, Ruby and Sapphire's other Pokémon charge at the villains, only to be knocked back by the power of the Red and Blue Orbs. The two quickly realize that the opponents they are facing are the leaders of the two teams they have faced during their adventure previously.


Even though Ruby and Sapphire have attacked together, Archie and Maxie are not fighting side-by-side--in fact they don't even seem aware the other person exists. Ruby tells Sapphire they're at an advantage if their enemies aren't using teamwork, and calls on her to help distract them both with speed while he goes in for the offensive. [[Zuzu]]'s {{m|Muddy Water}} hits both {{p|Camerupt}} and {{p|Walrein}}, but before they can launch a second attack, Archie and Maxie respond with {{m|Icy Wind}} and {{m|Eruption}}, which together are enough to almost knock out all of Ruby and Sapphire's Pokémon. Both sides claim they've come too far to fail now, and Ruby's [[Castform (Pokémon)|Popo]] uses the icicles created by Icy Wind to strengthen its {{m|Hail}} attack before changing into its Hail Form and blasting both Archie and Maxie with a powerful {{m|Weather Ball}}.
Upon figuring this out, Sapphire and Ruby realize that the gems in their hands are what's allowing them to control Groudon and Kyogre. Sapphire notes that even though they are clearly fighting in a double battle, their opponents aren't fighting together nor seem like they are even aware that the other one is there. Ruby decides that if their opponents aren't fighting together, then it'd be best for him and Sapphire to work together to gain an advantage.  


It looks like Ruby and Sapphire have won. But when Ruby goes to take the Orbs from Archie and Maxie, he discovers he physically can't--they're stuck to their hands!
Ruby and Sapphire send their Pokémon and have them work together by complimenting their strengths and weaknesses. Archie and Maxie refuse to give up, and retaliate with a powerful attack that manages to defeat Ruby and Sapphire's Pokémon. Ruby also refuses to give up and sends out {{p|Castform|Popo}} to attack the foes with a {{m|Hail}} move. Now in her Snowy Form, Popo uses a powerful Weather Ball to defeat Archie and Maxie.


Atop [[Mt. Pyre]], the old couple and their two {{p|Chimecho}} sense what has happened. Archie and Maxie have been enslaved by the Orbs, becoming the puppets of Kyogre and Groudon. In the Seafloor Cavern, Ruby and Sapphire watch as grotesque patterns of light begin to shine through Archie and Maxie's skin, their grins malevolent.  
As Maxie and Archie stand, motionless, Ruby wonders if he overdid it, but quickly shrugs it off and goes to take the Red and Blue Orbs. Ruby tries to remove the gems from the Leaders' hands, but he finds that they have become attached to Archie and Maxie's hands, preventing him from taking them off.
 
Outside, the old couple sense that something has gone wrong. They quickly realize that Maxie and Archie, the one's that sought out to control the ancient Pokémon, have now becomes slaves to their power. Back at the Seafloor Cavern, Ruby and Sapphire watch in horror as the Red and Blue Orbs quickly recede in Maxie and Archie's hands. The pattern on Groudon and Kyogre's bodies glow on Maxie and Archie's hands as they grin evilly.

Brawly's Hariyama continues to battle Mack's Slugma, while at the Lilycove Inn, Roxanne sees the blast from Brawly's attacks and realizes he must be getting the upper hand. Margetells Roxanne to pay attention, and has her Ninetales leap at Roxanne's Cradily. Cradily uses its tentacles to tie Ninetales down, preventing it from moving. Roxanne figures out that Marge is trying to lift the Block set on Groudon; a plan Marge agrees to. Though Ninetales attacks Cradily, it regains strength quickly by using Ingrain to root itself to the earth through the floor of the inn and absorb energy.

A sudden rattling noise startles the two, and makes Roxanne realize that there might still be people hiding inside the inn. Marge melts down the door to reveal a programmer, graphic designer, and game designer who are still stuck inside the building. Marge threatens to use the same mix of acid and berry juice on the three people that she used to melt the door. Roxanne, unable to act, is forced to see Nosepass defeated by Ninetales, lifting the Block on Groudon in the process.

Deep inside the Seafloor Cavern, Kyogre and Groudon continue moving about whilst being controlled by the Red and Blue Orbs. Maxie and Archie approach Ruby and Sapphire and introduces themselves. Immediately, both parties send out their Pokémon to do battle against one another. After managing to hold down Maxie's Camerupt and Archie's Walrein, Ruby and Sapphire's other Pokémon charge at the villains, only to be knocked back by the power of the Red and Blue Orbs.
