Mightyena sniffed the Marine Cave with curiosity. Alongside Mightyena was a Crobat, who eyed the cave walls back and forth. However, on the end was a man of much importance. The man was named Archie, the former leader of Team Aqua. Archie grinned as he felt an approaching power coming from the cave. As Archie approached the pool of water that centered the cave, he was saluted by his Administrators, Shelly and Matt. He nodded to both, and began to speak.
"Fufufufu. Welcome aboard the pathway to paradise, Admins."
Shelly nodded slowly, "The Blue Orb is ready for your control, Lord Archie."
"I am not your lord yet, Shelly." Archie cackled, "Save it for when I truly am King."
Matt guffawed, but put on a serious face, "The plans for the transformation of the orb from Blue to Navy are underway, Arch. We shall watch as the world is flooded, and our King is put upon his throne."
"Let us welcome our Dark Kyogre into our hearts, when that day comes." Archie grinned. He took out the badge that certified him as the leader of Team Aqua. He placed it in the crack in the ground, for a perfect fit. Mightyena sniffed around, and sensed the presence of another human. In fact, there were several, and the scent came closer. The presence turned out to be the leader of Team Magma, Maxie, who was joined by his admins, Tabitha and Courtney. Mightyena barked as Maxie smiled and sent out his team of Pokemon, his own Mightyena, Crobat, and Camerupt.
Archie turned around in shock, "Maxie! Good to see you once more, before the end your world." Archie cackled, "Welcome to the future of Hoenn. The waters shall arise, and the world shall flood! And I shall delight in my coronation."
Maxie scowled, "I will not allow it, Archie. For those you will you drown in not only water, but your pride...I shall stop you!"
Shelly laughed, "Try your luck, sir! Our future is upon us!" Shelly sent out her own Milotic, and commanded it to attack Camerupt with a jet of water! Camerupt's flame was extinguished, and it fell to the ground in pain.
Maxie groaned once more as he withdrew his Camerupt back in its Pokeball. "I seek only to make peace with the world. However, you are in my way, and you shall be punished for it!" Maxie commanded his Crobat and Mightyena to attack Archie's Sharpedo with their wings and teeth! Sharpedo fainted, and was withdrawn, but the rough skin of Sharpedo had damaged Crobat and Mightyena! Milotic then used Surf to finish off Crobat and Mightyena, and even to knock Maxie backward, and to the ground. Tabitha and Courtney rushed to Maxie's aid, and threatened Archie with their Pokeballs, but were interrupted.
"Stand down, Magma. They're too powerful. Don't waste the health of your Pokemon. Damn you, Aqua! You have the nerve to attack a man with your Pokemon?!"
"Fufufufufu." Archie laughed, "That man is weak, and unknown to the mysteries and potential of this world! You were too late anyway. The Blue Orb is already in my possession!"
With that, a large spire erupted from the pool. It was sapphire blue, and had steps toward the top. "Keep them at bay." Archie ordered, and the Admins saluted, keeping Magma away with their Pokemon. Archie climbed the spire, hands behind his back, filled with pride and self-worth. Archie stared down the Blue Orb, and snatched it with his right hand. He turned to Maxie and juggled the Blue Orb in his hand.
"I shall spare you today Maxie, just to see the end of your world tomorrow. This flood shall be real, Maxie. And you will see the hell it will cause."
Maxie and his Admins walked out of the Marine Cave, defeated. Matt and Shelly walked toward Archie, saluting once more, this time holding the salute as they all exclaimed,
"Aqua For Life!"
