The moment Groudon and Kyogre appeared—
alarms blared across the League headquarters in Ever Grande City.
Shrill sirens echoed through the entire building.
"What's going on!?" a League official shouted.
"Report! Massive biological fluctuations detected in the waters south of Sootopolis City—suspected Legendary Pokémon activity!"
The official's heart sank.
South of Sootopolis—
that was exactly where the top-tier secret realm was located.
And now—
Legendaries had appeared there?!
Without hesitation, he immediately reported everything upward.
…
It wasn't just the Hoenn League.
Such overwhelming energy—
was impossible to hide.
All over the world—
other regions noticed.
…
In Kalos—
deep within a primeval forest—
countless green lights shot into the sky, converging into one point.
A black-and-green canine-like Pokémon materialized.
Zygarde — 10% Forme.
Its cold gaze turned toward Hoenn.
"So… those two have awakened again."
"If they meet, they will fight."
"The aftermath alone will devastate the ecosystem."
"Should I intervene?"
After a brief pause—
Zygarde shook its head.
"…No."
"It's not my responsibility."
It had recently sensed the power of Rayquaza Mega Evolving.
If anyone was to handle this—
it would be Rayquaza.
…
In Kanto—
within the deepest ocean trenches—
a white, majestic figure opened its eyes.
Lugia.
Excitement flickered in its gaze.
"Oh? Another good show?"
"This position isn't great… I should get closer."
With a single flap of its wings—
it shot toward Hoenn at unbelievable speed.
…
Countless Legendary Pokémon across the world—
turned their attention toward this unfolding catastrophe.
…
Back over Hoenn's seas—
"ROAR!!"
The instant Groudon emerged—
its attention locked onto Kyogre.
Inside the secret realm, they had already faced each other—
but held back.
Now—
there was no restraint.
As Groudon stepped onto the ocean—
magma surged beneath its feet.
Instantly cooling—
forming land.
At the same time—
Ground-type energy in the air erupted violently.
One.
Two.
Three—
Dozens—
Hundreds—
Massive crimson blades erupted from the sea—
each over a hundred meters tall.
Groudon's signature move—
Precipice Blades.
They surged toward Kyogre.
"ROAR!!"
Kyogre responded instantly.
Five colossal water pillars tore through the sky—
crashing forward with unstoppable force.
Its signature move—
Origin Pulse.
No hesitation.
No restraint.
From the very first exchange—
they went all out.
When the blades struck Kyogre—
time itself seemed to freeze.
Then—
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion shook heaven and earth.
Air compressed violently—
forming visible shockwaves that blasted outward.
"Holy shit!!"
"Old Chen, RUN!!" Steven Stone shouted, already turning to flee.
But Chen Shi—
remained calm.
He gently patted Jirachi.
"Jirachi, I'll leave it to you. Protect me, alright?"
"Okay~! Jirachi will protect Chen Shi!"
A psychic barrier spread outward—
encasing everyone.
The shockwave slammed into it—
and vanished.
Not even a ripple.
Then—
another explosion.
Kyogre's Origin Pulse struck Groudon.
Equally devastating.
Yet—
both Legendary Pokémon seemed completely unfazed.
Their attacks continued—
one after another.
No tricks.
No strategy.
Just raw power—
colliding head-on.
Whoever broke first—
lost.
Everyone watched in stunned silence.
Steven muttered,
"…This… this is the power of Legendary Pokémon?"
Lance exhaled slowly.
"…Seems most legends aren't exaggerated after all."
Chen Shi let out a small laugh.
"You think this is terrifying?"
"What if I told you…"
"They're just warming up."
Silence.
Complete silence.
Because—
they could feel it.
Chen Shi wasn't joking.
Since the moment the two awakened—
he already knew.
The Red Orb—
and the Blue Orb—
had returned to them.
At any moment—
they could undergo Primal Reversion.
When that happened—
Groudon's Desolate Land—
and Kyogre's Primordial Sea—
would truly reshape the world.
Compared to that—
this was nothing.
Just a prelude.
Diantha's voice trembled slightly.
"This… is only a warm-up?"
"Then what would it look like… if they truly fought?"
No one answered.
Because no one—
could imagine it.
Even this battle—
was already beyond comprehension.
At that moment—
Cynthia suddenly spoke.
"…What about Team Magma and Team Aqua?"
"Why haven't we seen them?"
Everyone froze.
Then—
anger surged.
That's right.
All of this—
was caused by those two organizations.
Lance slammed his thigh.
"Those bastards! They caused all this chaos—and now they're gone!?"
"If I catch them, I'll make them regret it!!"
Chen Shi waved a hand.
"Now's not the time for that."
"The priority…"
"…is stopping this."
He pointed toward the distance.
"Look."
Everyone followed his gaze.
And then—
their faces changed.
Because from the battlefield—
massive waves were spreading outward—
one after another.
If this continued—
the nearest city—
Sootopolis City—
would be swallowed whole.
By the sea.
