'''VS. Kyogre & Groudon XI''' (Japanese: '''VS. Kyogre & Groudon XI''' ''VS. Kyogre & Groudon XI'') is the 249th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}.
'''The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XI''' (Japanese: '''VS カイオーガ & グラードン XI''' ''VS Kyogre & Groudon XI''), titled '''VS Kyogre & Groudon XI''' in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, is the 249th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 69th chapter of the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}.


==Synopsis==
It is subtitled '''The Gathering Superpowers''' (Japanese: '''引かれあう超パワー''' ''Powers That Attract'') in the [[VIZ Media]] translation and '''Powers That Attract''' in the Chuang Yi translation.
{{Adv|Ruby}} and {{Adv|Sapphire}} watch in horror as the Blue and Red Orbs are absorbed into [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]'s bodies, Ruby realizing that they'll never be able to retrieve the Orbs if they're absorbed completely. He sends [[Delcatty (Pokémon)|Coco]] after them, but Archie knocks it aside, and the Orbs finally consume the two men's minds, causing them to scream like animals as Kyogre and Groudon's wills overtake them. Now it's Kyogre and Groudon who are using the Orbs to control Archie and Maxie, and the two men use their new power to shoot blasts of energy at Ruby and Sapphire; it's only Coco's {{m|Assist}} turning into [[Rono]]'s {{m|Iron Defense}} that saves them.


Now completely insane, Archie and Maxie both attack, Archie leaping for Sapphire and [[Zuzu]] rushing to shield her with {{m|Mud Sport}}. At the same time, Ruby grabs Sapphire to protect her, and Sapphire suddenly realizes she's felt this same sensation a long time ago...
==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
{{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} watch in horror as the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s are absorbed into [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]'s hands. Ruby, realizing that they'll never be able to retrieve the Orbs if they're absorbed, sends [[Kiki]] to take them back. Kiki attempts to use {{m|Covet}}, but a blast from Archie's hand knocks her aside. The Orbs finally consume the two men's minds, causing a silhouette of {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}}'s to appear in their shadows. This reveals that instead of Maxie and Archie controlling the [[Legendary Pokémon]], it's now the other way around.


But there's no time to reminisce--Maxie snatches Ruby up by the throat, while Archie grabs Sapphire, and the world glows white as they're all lifted high in the air by some mysterious force. Ruby realizes what's happening: Kyogre and Groudon are both summoning the power of the Orbs, and everyone is swept up out of the [[Seafloor Cavern]] by the mighty force, including all of the Aqua and Magma grunts and all of the Pokémon.
With their new power, Archie and Maxie shoot a blast of energy at Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby manages to save them both by having Kiki use {{m|Assist}} to take [[Rono]]'s {{m|Iron Defense}}. The attack proves to be too powerful for Kiki to handle, as it comes from the powerful Groudon and Kyogre. A now-insane Archie leaps at the two, but Ruby grabs Sapphire and manages to get out of the way in time. As Ruby saves her, Sapphire is reminded of a similar event that happened to her in the past.


Groudon and Kyogre have both cut swathes of destruction through Hoenn. Groudon has reached [[Lilycove City]], leaving fire and ruin in its wake, while Kyogre heads in the same direction, raising vicious storms as it presses forward. Both ancient Pokémon seem set on restarting their feud, and are making for the place where they once fought long ago.
Sapphire quickly shrugs it off as to not get distracted, only for Archie to grab her by the neck. Maxie does the same with Ruby, and the two begin flying up to the surface, glowing in a large sphere of energy the same color as the Red and Blue Orbs. As they fly upward, all of the fainted {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Team Aqua}} and {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s are absorbed into the energy spheres as well. Ruby guesses that Groudon and Kyogre must be calling out to the Red and Blue Orbs, a guess that he is correct about.


In [[Slateport City]], [[Captain Stern]], Tuga, and the chairman of the Pokémon Fan Club enter the mobile Pokémon Office, hoping they can be of some use, but [[Gabby and Ty|Maryann and Tyler]] stay behind, Tyler saying there's something they still have to investigate. Tyler points out the nearby  {{p|Absol}} and says it's the same Pokémon that disappeared after the incident at the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. Absol leaps, leaving behind ash from [[Mt. Chimney]], and Tyler accuses it of always being around when disasters occur, wondering whether it's connected to all of the terrible events lately. Maryann, however, questions Absol's intentions. Perhaps instead of ''causing'' all the disasters, it's trying to ''warn'' people about them?
Elsewhere, the [[Gym Leader]]s have failed to stop Kyogre and Groudon's rampage. Groudon has reached [[Lilycove City]], and leaves a trail of flames and destruction behind it as it reaches the sea. Meanwhile, Kyogre is heading for the same location as Groudon, and it raises tsunamis and storms as it does so. The two Legendary Pokémon continue to head where their original battle took place.


Hearing this, Absol leaps in front of Maryann, who correctly guesses it wants her to ride on its back. Explaining to Tyler that the only disaster worse than what's already happened would be a direct battle between Kyogre and Groudon, Maryann leaps onto Absol's back, taking off, with Tyler calling out for her to wait.
In [[Slateport City]], the [[Pokémon Association]] headquarters approaches [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, Ty]], [[Captain Stern]], [[Dock]], and the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]]. After the others go and get rescued, Ty decides to stay behind with Gabby, much to her confusion. When Gabby asks why Ty did this, he reveals that he sensed a presence near them. Suddenly, the {{p|Absol}} from the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] leaps before them.


Ruby and Sapphire are still being dragged along inside an energy vortex along with Archie and Maxie, but suddenly their paths diverge. They are taken in separate directions as Maryann and Tyler try to figure out where Absol is taking them in such a hurry. As they race along, they catch glimpses of Ruby and Sapphire each shooting by, and then Tyler realizes where Absol--and those two beams of energy--are headed: the crater of [[Sootopolis City]].
Ty notices that Absol has ashes on its body, meaning that it was there when Team Aqua killed [[Mt. Chimney]]. Ty accuses Absol of always being around when disasters occur, which must mean that it's the cause of them. Gabby questions Absol's intentions, and wonders if Absol isn't causing the disasters, but can actually sense them and has been trying to warn people. Gabby's guess is correct as Absol gestures for the two to ride on its back.
 
Gabby asks Ty what could be the worst kind of disaster to happen. Ty guesses that it would be the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, as it could destroy the entire [[Hoenn]] region. Gabby agrees with this, and hops onto Absol's back and asks it to take her to where Groudon and Kyogre will meet.
 
Elsewhere, Ruby and Sapphire continue to fly towards the surface in the energy spheres created by the possessed Archie and Maxie. Ruby guesses that by the speed they're flying at, it must be because of Groudon and Kyogre calling to the power of the Red and Blue Orbs. As Maxie and Archie continue to growl like animals, the two orbs begin to fly in different directions. As they separate, Ruby and Sapphire call out to each other.
 
Gabby and Ty continue on Absol's back to where Groudon and Kyogre will meet and battle with each other. They see a light emerging from the water, which turns out to be the energy spheres with Ruby and Sapphire still inside. The energy spheres fly towards the same direction as Absol is heading to. Ty manages to figure out that Absol, Kyogre, and Groudon are heading towards [[Sootopolis City]].
 
The counter of the bet continues at 25 days.
