The cause of such a climate is not the battle between humans, but the giant whale surfacing from the water.
This is Kyogre, a Pokemon commanding the ocean's power. In the legends of the Hoenn Region, Kyogre is the embodiment of the ocean, possessing the power to control water.
In mythology, it is referred to as the Pokemon that expands the ocean by submerging the land with torrential rain and raging waves.
It has the power to generate rain clouds large enough to cover the entire sky and unleash torrential rain; the current storm is the manifestation of Kyogre's power.
But this is only part of it; here is a storm, while another side is blazing sunlight. The rain clouds above are dispersed, and intense sunlight shines upon a land that, though always surrounded by seawater, is now cracked and appears exceedingly dry.
Lava flows through many places, forming a sea of magma that trails behind it, yet to cool completely.
This is Groudon, a Pokemon commanding Earth's power, known in legends as the embodiment of the land.
In the Hoenn Region's mythology, Groudon is called the Pokemon that creates land and expands continents.
It has the immense power to make rain clouds disappear, using bright light and high heat to evaporate moisture and expand the land. Wherever it is, sunlight will evaporate moisture, volcanoes will erupt, and even the ocean will be filled by the land with its power.
Incidentally, it is one of the few first-level gods of Pokemon that cannot fly.
Their eyes do not see Kaidou; rather, they look impatiently at each other.
Unlike the ideological conflicts between Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyogre and Groudon are considered the most oppositional first-level gods among Pokemon; their powers seem incompatible from birth.
Kyogre can alleviate drought disasters by expanding the ocean with rain, while Groudon can curb floods and waterlogging disasters by evaporating moisture to expand the land. Whenever these two Pokemon meet, fighting is the only solution.
"Roar!"
Kyogre initiated the attack first, merely swiping its broad side fin in the ocean, and the seawater turned into a terrifying tsunami, gigantic waves rushing towards Groudon's direction.
Looking at the overwhelming tsunami, Groudon's eyes were filled with disdain. Its crimson armor began absorbing sunlight, charging the spike-like decorations on its body, fiery sunlight energy gathering in its mouth, and a scorching beam shot towards the massive wave in front of it.
Before the attack arrived, the seawater began to boil; this was Groudon's Solar Beam, far more potent than ordinary Grass Type Pokemon.
As the beam met the seawater, a huge amount of steam immediately filled a vast sea area, and the colossal wave created by Kyogre was pierced through by Groudon from its center.
Although Groudon pierced the center of the tsunami, the surrounding waves bypassed Groudon's obstruction, covering the land behind Groudon with seawater, seemingly attempting to turn it entirely into an ocean.
Kyogre took advantage of this gap, raising more gigantic waves to ram Groudon with its body.
In response to Kyogre's move, Groudon also unleashed its power; underwater volcanoes began to erupt, with magma continuously surging up, not only expelling previous seawater but also making the land beneath its feet thicker and larger.
It also raised its arms, facing the approaching Kyogre head-on.
"A fierce battle, but what is this for..."
Kaidou did not interfere with Groudon and Kyogre's battle; though tempted, he merely chose to watch from afar, not afraid of this force but unwilling to conduct a sneak attack from the side. Just then, a figure appeared beside him.
"This is another virtual space created by Arceus, with the ancient Hoenn era setting.
The blue one is called Kyogre, commanding the sea, and the red one is Groudon, commanding the land. Their powers have aspects similar to those of Lord Arceus."
With familiar golden long hair, still Hilona's appearance, besides managing the Unova Region, in the virtual space created by Arceus, the Hoenn Region is also entrusted directly to her.
Since she is merely a narrator, her image is not very important.
"So, what is he bringing me to this place for? To have me fight with them?"
"Lord Arceus just wanted you to see this power, and what is shown now, is not all of it."
With Hilona's appearance as the narrator, the battle between Groudon and Kyogre entered the climax.
Groudon exerted its strength from its arms, after forcibly dragging Kyogre out of the sea in front of it, it tossed Kyogre towards distant mountains.
Yet Kyogre's body waved its fins in mid-air, the power of the sea induced by it, proceeded to move its fins as if they were wings, allowing it to fly directly.
Witnessing this scene, Groudon became even angrier, several lava bombs flew towards Kyogre in mid-air, while Kyogre flicked its tail in response, generating ice spears in the size of columns.
At the same time, a stone radiating colorful light rose from the ocean. This is the combination of natural energy in the Hoenn Region; whoever can grasp it, can unleash more powerful energy to defeat the other.
To claim ownership of this stone, both Pokemon launched even more aggressive attacks simultaneously.
Under the colorful light's illumination, their bodies began to change once again.
Kyogre's body became transparent, with the originally etched patterns emitting yellow light, and the alpha symbol-shaped patterns on its forehead and fin-like wings became incredibly radiant.
Groudon experienced a similar situation, except the symbol appearing on its body was in the shape of the Ohm symbol.
This is their true power, the mode of primal reversion, unleashing their entire potential. Some civilizations strengthen by advancing into the future, others uniquely grow stronger by moving backward, gaining power through archaeology.
Around Kyogre's head, four glowing spheres condensed, filled with the ocean's energy, ultimately converging into a line, shooting forward towards Groudon.
The ocean raged further with Kyogre's attack; this is a strike concentrated with the ocean's power, and Kyogre's ultimate move—Root Fluctuation.
The primally reverted Groudon performed a similar act; rocks danced around it, with a furious roar, Groudon stomped the ground fiercely.
The earth trembled under Groudon's influence, the continental shelf shivered from Groudon's attack beneath the deep sea, with rolling rocks converging towards a point, ultimately bursting from the sea like a sharp blade.
This is also Groudon's ultimate move, Precipice Blades.
The Earth's power converted into the sword blade; this isn't a game; merely being able to fly ensures immunity from Groudon's Ground Type moves.
Under the Precipice Blades, whether on foot or soaring in the sky, Groudon can thrust them down; this strike embodies Groudon's indignation towards flying.
Precipice Blades and Root Fluctuation simultaneously hit, both giant beasts fell simultaneously, then stood simultaneously; their nearly identical strength makes their battle incredibly entangled, as if it will never cease.
...
Outside, Yamato nervously kneaded the doll clutched in her hands, the Chansey-shaped ornament already squashed into a pancake; since Hilona's appearance, she had grown more anxious.
Especially witnessing Groudon and Kyogre's displayed power, her heart, usually indifferent to major events, began to race.
To help her better understand what it is, Arceus thoughtfully added commentary subtitles for her.
She didn't know what Kaidou was contemplating, but just now, she already conjured up terrifying scenes of Kyogre and Groudon developing moves like Root Hakken and Cliff Hakken, and then smashing towards her.
"I beg you, please let both of them be Peacekeepers, in that case, that damn bastard old dad can never gain recognition."
She herself knew that this wish was unrealistic, as the two relentlessly battling Pokemon do not appear fond of peace, just as the scene had a new development, an event whether she should rejoice or mourn.
As the battle intensified, the sky cracked, and a third Pokemon appeared in front of Kaidou.
