Synopsis
Maryann and Tyler are riding on an Absol that is chasing two energy masses. Maryann comments on how the energy masses are going the same direction as Absol. Tyler tells her that Absol was headed for Sootopolis City as it is the only city where the intense sunlight clashes with the heavy rain. Maryann tells him that the fight between Kyogre and Groudon will take place and that Ruby and Sapphire are in trouble as the energy masses are holding them hostage. Maryann and Tyler head to their airship and calls Captain Stern. They tell him the problem regarding the two Pokémon facing off. The elderly couple start getting worried about this and admits that their worst fears have come true. The director of the Pokémon Association informs them that both of those Pokémon that are already awake which was the first stage, leaving the second awakening.
The director explains that the first awakening was the body which happened in the Cave of Origin. The second is their mind which means that they must be heading to Sootopolis City in order to accomplish the second awakening. The elders tell the director and Captain Stern that Mt. Pyre and the Cave of Origin are related closely. The Red Orb and the Blue Orb was located at Mt. Pyre which summoned Kyogre and Groudon as the jewels were guarding at Mt. Pyre. If they become fully awakened, a fight between them will take place and the Hoenn region won't be able to handle it well.
The battle between Kyogre and Groudon is then shown. With the legendary Pokémon fighting, all hope will be lost. Meanwhile in Lilycove City, Brawly's Hariyama is battling Mack's two Slugma. Hariyama uses Knock Off and Brawly notices two hair pins that belong to Tate and Liza. With the Slugma defeated, Brawly asks Mack if he was responsible for the defeat of the twin gym leader. Mack confirms this and explains that they got in his way when he was after the jewels on Mt. Pyre. Brawly demands to know where they are. Mack refuses by telling him that he did enough as he ran out of energy of fighting the Slugma and that he doesn't have any of it left to battle. Mack then tells Brawly that he is in the same condition as him. However, Mack didn't care as his plan regarding Groudon succeeded. He then tells him that he was the first to counter his illusion attacks. Mack flees in a sea of fire leaving Brawly sprawled out.
Marge also flees in a sea of fire. Roxanne feels terrible about how she failed in stopping Groudon from awakening. Flannery's Vulpix gets badly hurt by Ludicolo's Nature Power. Angie taunts the Fire-type gym leader that she should let Vulpix rest as their battle is over. Since Kyogre is fully awakened, Flannery is no longer considered to be Angie's concern. Winona stops her battle against Ark midway and tells Flannery to take cover. Winona then jumps in front of Flannery to stop Angie from taunting her. However, Angie was confident enough that it made no difference in terms of strength. She tells her Ludicolo to use Nature Power. Ludicolo doesn't do anything and Angie starts getting upset about Ludicolo not doing anything. Flannery explains that her Vulpix used Grudge before it got hurt by Ludicolo's last attack. Since Grudge was used, Ludicolo can no longer use Nature Power. Angie ran out of options and sent out her Vibrava, and they retreat. She tells Ark after she saw him stranded in the water that he should save himself.
Flannery demands Ark to come back but Winona stops her. Winona reminds her about Kyogre and Groudon, and how they lost Wattson. All of a sudden, a big blast of water bursts up. In the blast, Wattson and Manectric are in there which made Flannery and Winona excited to see him. The big blast of water came from Sapphire's Wailord's Water Gun. Wattson thanks Walo for bringing him to the surface using Dive. A beeping noise is heard and Winona notices that the noise came from a black box. The black box was from the S. S. Kaien I. The box gave them directions to the offshores of Lilycove which was where Team Aqua's headquarters were located. They ride on Walo to their headquarters.
Meanwhile in the Lilycove Department Store, Wallace's Whiscash, Phillip, is battling Mitch's Torkoal with Torkoal being excessively Tickled by Phillip. Wallace tells Mitch that his Torkoal has lost due to Phillip's Tickle and Elizabeth's Water Sport as the latter used it to decrease the damage of Fire-type moves. Mitch didn't accept this defeat and turns insane. Mitch then picks up Wallace and throws him aside. Wallace deduces the fact that Mitch's insanity came from the fact that he got possessed from the jewels in the Cave of Origin. When Wallace was about to get finished from Mitch's other personality, Steven's Metagross comes in and uses Meteor Mash, stopping Mitch in his tracks. Steven apologizes for coming in late and requires Wallace to assist him.
