Things were at this point. Natsui decided to stop the Legendary Birds. He told them to stop blocking the energy.
They had been blocking it for a long time. They had already stopped the strongest part of the hit. The rest of the energy would go over the wide sea. It would not cause much damage when it reached the Hoenn land.
It would only be as strong as a powerful storm. It might damage some cities and villages. But humans could handle it.
He had done enough. Now, he needed to focus on Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
It was time. He would let them feel the power of the Triple Bird Unity!
The Legendary Birds used this combined attack when he caught Deoxys. Back then, Deoxys used its shield and Defense Forme. Even with two defenses, half of Deoxys's body was destroyed. It only looked okay later because it could heal itself very fast.
But now...
Natsui wanted to see what would happen. He wanted to see how Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre would handle this move!
They were too far away. Gardevoir could not send orders to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres directly. But Natsui had a smart idea. He used telepathy to send the order to Deoxys. Then Deoxys sent the order to the birds.
This worked very well. Soon, Natsui could talk to the Legendary Birds again.
The Final Strike
The birds got the orders. They flapped their wings and flew high above the clouds. They gathered together. They started to collect their energy.
The explosion from Precipice Blades and Origin Pulse finally went away. The shockwaves were still moving out. But the two Pokémon in the center were fighting again.
They had many more injuries than before. Their moves had hit each other. But the shockwaves from the explosion still hurt them.
What about Rayquaza?
Natsui looked at the battlefield. The big green island was gone. Only broken wood and trash floated on the water. Even those things were sinking. He looked many times. He still could not see Rayquaza.
It was pushed deep into the sea by the explosion.
It was not going to die. But Natsui wondered why it had not come up. It was very close to the blast. It took a direct hit. Maybe it was unconscious. It would need some time to wake up.
Honestly, if it had just listened to my orders, this would not have happened.
Natsui shook his head. He did not have time to worry now. He looked at the clouds above the fight.
The explosion hit the ground and also moved the clouds away. The sun came back out. The bad weather was gone.
But this was only for a short time.
The Legendary Birds used their power. Thick clouds formed in the sky again. Lightning and thunder appeared immediately!
The sky was dark over the sea. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were busy fighting. They did not notice. They were hitting each other. They did not have a defense against the next attack.
Go ahead and fight. Next, it is your turn to feel my attack!
The "Bird Dance" continued in the sky. After a few minutes, the power of the three birds was very high. It was time to strike.
A giant thunder sound roared. A waterfall of energy came down from the sky. It hit Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre!
Then the two giants knew something was wrong.
They looked up. They saw the energy falling toward them. It surrounded them. It was too late to move away. Their minds were confused. They did not try to save themselves!
They could only use their bodies to take the hit. In a second, both Pokémon were covered by the energy. The group could not see them anymore!
The Outcome
Natsui could not see Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre from where he was.
There was only a bright pillar of energy. There was a loud buzzing sound. The power was destroying everything.
Maxie, Archie, and Matt saw the Triple Bird attack for the first time. Their mouths were open. They could not speak!
They would not have believed it if they did not see it. They did not think any Pokémon could use a move this strong, except Groudon and Kyogre.
This man... is a monster!
The energy lasted for less than half a minute. Then it stopped.
The Legendary Birds had used some energy to block the shockwaves. So, the Triple Bird Unity did not last as long as before.
But it was enough!
The light faded. The group looked at the center of the battlefield. Both Pokémon were lying on the broken island. After a long moment, Primal Kyogre moved. It slowly started to float up.
It had many scars, but it could still move. It was okay.
It was amazing that it survived. This was because it had high Special Defense and many health points.
Primal Groudon did not get up like Kyogre. It stayed down. The light on its body went away. It changed from its Primal form back into its normal form!
No one thought Groudon would fall first!
Kyogre was attacked before. Both took the same damage from the explosion. Groudon seemed to have more energy, but it fell before Kyogre!
Groudon had hard skin and high physical defense. But it was weak against this energy attack. It could not block it!
Natsui felt relieved.
He could only use the Triple Bird Unity once. If it failed, he would need another plan. But it worked!
Groudon was defeated. Kyogre was also hurt badly. Everything was going well!
Natsui called back the tired Legendary Birds. He was going to send Deoxys to finish the fight.
Then the sea exploded. His black Rayquaza came out of the water!
The black Rayquaza had many wounds, just like Kyogre. It was hurt by the earlier explosion!
Rayquaza did not wait. It flew straight at Primal Kyogre!
Natsui saw this and told Deoxys to stop. He let the black Rayquaza fight.
End of the Primal Rain
The ending was already decided.
Natsui had other plans for this fight. He had a deal with the two Deoxys from LaRousse City. If his Deoxys used an aurora, they would come to help. But he did not need them.
The battle was over when the two giants could not take the birds' attack.
Only one hurt Kyogre was left. It could not cause more trouble.
What about the unconscious Groudon?
Natsui looked at it for a long time. He could not decide what to do. But in the end, he looked away.
Was Groudon strong? Yes, it was very strong. It was one of the strongest Pokémon, especially in its Primal state!
Did he want to catch it? He was thinking about it.
But only a little bit.
Natsui liked other Pokémon more. He only felt "okay" about these two. You do not need to catch every strong Pokémon. Keeping Pokémon like Kyogre and Groudon would only cause trouble. It was better to let them sleep in a hidden place. Their legends should continue!
Far away, the black Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre fought again.
They both looked hurt. But Rayquaza started to lose because of the difference in strength.
But things can change very fast in a battle.
Kyogre's energy became low. Its Primal Reversion suddenly ended!
Kyogre's body became smaller. In a few seconds, it was back to its normal size. The "α" pattern on its body went away!
Everyone knew what happened.
Misty was happy. "Look! It doesn't have enough energy to maintain its Primal form anymore!"
Natsui pulled the two Orbs out of his bag. The light on them was normal again. The connection to the two Pokémon was gone!
The Orbs were only a trigger. They let the Pokémon use Primal Reversion. But they did not give them energy. The Pokémon had to use their own energy to stay in that form.
They became very strong, but they used energy very fast! When they had no more energy, they changed back.
Now, the situation had changed.
Normal Kyogre could not beat the black Rayquaza.
Rayquaza finally got its revenge. It was stronger now and it attacked Kyogre.
Kyogre lost its spirit after it changed back. It could not stop Rayquaza. Finally, it ran away again!
Rayquaza wanted to chase it. Natsui used telepathy to call it back.
Rayquaza was not used to having a Trainer. It did not like its new role. It heard Natsui's voice and stopped chasing Kyogre. But it did not come back. It flew over the sea to show everyone that it won the fight!
Natsui did not like its bad attitude. Gardevoir took an Ultra Ball and used Teleport. She caught it in the ball immediately.
Gardevoir came back to him. Shadows moved in the sky. The Legendary Birds landed next to Natsui.
"It's finally over..." Shelly sighed. She looked at the destruction. "What do we do now?"
Natsui looked at the battlefield. Kyogre was a small black dot far away. Groudon was still unconscious. Courtney's ship was outside the battle area. She saved her team from the water. But the ship was broken and had no power.
Natsui called back the birds. He looked at Maxie and Archie. He said to Shelly:
"First, wake up Groudon and let it leave. On the way here, I contacted the International Police. They should arrive soon. When they get here, we will hand these people over. After I explain the situation for you and Courtney, I'll return these two Orbs. Then, this whole thing will be over."
Yes, it was all over.
Maxie and Archie were caught. Their admins were gone or arrested. Team Aqua and Team Magma would fall apart soon.
Shelly worked for years for her goal. But it was ending now. She felt a little lost.
What... should I do next?
