Welcome to Pokemon vs. Fossil Fighters, round three. Today we have our first ever tag battle, Frigi and Igno vs Kyogre and Groudon. Which of these titanic beasts will come out on top? Let's find out.

First let's start with Frigi. This colossal beast stands 70 feet tall, stretches 101 feet in length, and weighs 77 tons. So far the biggest beast in our competition. This ancient beast of ice was originally created when the Digadig tribe of Vivosaur island offered an Apatosaurus fossil to the ocean. This fossil over time absorbed the energy and cold temperatures from the ocean, giving this beast a massive amount of power. Frigi was later revived by Bartholomew Bullwort, leader of the BB Bandits, and helped him almost take over the world. If Frigi's sheer size wasn't enough to put off opponents, its power and complete control over ice gives him a huge advantage in battle. Anything within a 100 foot radius of Frigi is immediately frozen, helping to stop enemies in their tracks. His Sub-Zero Stomp technique, while his least powerful, can pound opponents into the ground and freeze them solid with no effort. When using Absolute Zero, Frigi slams enemies with his full body weight, crushing them with ease. Frozen armor ups its defense with 100% success, and when Frigi needs to really put the hurt on enemies, it uses its most powerful technique, Ice Age. Ice Age freezes all nearby enemies and causes a storm of giant, razor sharp ice shards to rain down on them. Frigi also has one more trick up its icy sleeves. As seen in the first battle with Bullwort, if Igno isn't battling with Frigi, the beast is completely unstoppable. Add its ability Solo Power, which ups all stats when it is the only one on its side standing, you've got one hell of a Vivosaur. No wonder the Digadigs hid the fossil!

Next up, we have his battle partner for today, the fire king Igno. This fiery dinosaur stands 25 feet tall, stretches 49 feet in length, and weighs 7 tons. It was created when the Digadigs offered a T-rex fossil to a volcano. The fossil over time completely drained the lava and heat from the volcano, warping the beast's appearance and giving it tremendous power. This beast was then revived by Hunter, who used the legendary Vivosaur to defeat Bullwort and Frigi. Like Frigi, Igno doesn't just use his bulk to win. Anything within a 50 foot radius of Igno is completely scorched, making it almost impossible for enemies to attack. Igno has complete control over fire and heat, allowing it to nullify any fire based attacks. When using Burning Bite, Igno clamps down on enemies and releasing a searing blast of lava. Volcanic Combo follows up with a powerful shoulder slam and a tail whip that creates a wave of fire. Roaring Fire ups Igno's attack with 100% success, and when all else fails, it falls back on its most powerful technique, Inferno Breath. With this Igno unleashes an entire pyroclastic flow upon enemies, leaving them completely petrified with fear, if they survive. And if Frigi isn't in battle with it, Igno is completely indestructible. And like Frigi, Igno has Solo Power, which really screws enemies over.

Now let's move on to team 2, Kyogre and Groudon.

First up is Kyogre. This water type Legendary stretches 14.5 feet in length and weighs 776 pounds. This leviathan Pokemon was born in ancient times, and fought many times with its rival Groudon. The most recent awakening was when Team Aqua awakened it in hopes of expanding the oceans and taking over the world. The beast then battled with Groudon one final time before Rayquaza, the guardian of the sky, stopped the two. While not immune to water attacks, Kyogre is not affected much by them. When in battle, Kyogre can create powerful thunderstorms that bring about torrential downpours. These rainstorms increase the power of Kyogre's water type attacks, and help to nullify fire attacks. Kyogre can use many powerful attacks as well. Hydro Pump blasts enemies with pressurized water, but has poor accuracy. Surf swamps all enemies with powerful waves, and has 100% accuracy. Water Spout is more powerful the more HP Kyogre has. Ice Beam hits enemies with a beam of frozen energy and can freeze them. And when all else fails, Kyogre falls back on Sheer Cold, a move so powerful it assures a one-hit KO on enemies of equal or lower level. However, like Hydro Pump, this move has terrible accuracy, even when used against immobile targets. That aside, this is one whale that won't be poached anytime soon.

Finally, we have the behemoth itself, Groudon. This bulky ground type stands 11.6 feet tall and weighs 2,094 pounds, the heaviest Pokemon to date. This titanic Pokemon was born in ancient times, and battled with Kyogre on numerous occasions. Just as Kyogre created the seas, Groudon created the land. In more recent times, Groudon was awakened by Team Magma, who wanted to use its power to increase the land and take over the world. However, it began another battle with Kyogre, until Rayquaza stepped in and stopped them both. Like Kyogre, Groudon is not immune to its own type, ground. Groudon comes with a set of thick armor scales, which give him a tremendous amount of defense. It can create harsh droughts, which power up any fire type moves Groudon uses, and make it easier to use Solar Beam. Groudon can rip enemies apart with Slash, pound them into the ground with Hammer Arm, crush them with Earthquake, or scorch them with Eruption. And if that isn't enough, Groudon can use Fissure, a one hit KO move if it hits anything of equal or lower level to it. However, like all one hit KO moves, it has terrible accuracy, even against still targets.

Now that everything is in place, let the battle begin.

(Battle Begin. Location: Sootopolis City, Music: Mysterial Battle theme: Pokemon Battle Revolution)

A loud roar echoes through the air. The sound is coming from the Cave of Origins. The roar echoes again, and Igno bursts out. His fiery aura torches all the buildings within a 50 foot radius, while his fire breath burns those farther away. He barrels through the city, destroying everything in his path. Suddenly, he is struck with an icy blast. He looks towards the giant lake in the center of the city as his rival, Frigi, emerges from the water. Frigi bellows a challenge, which Igno answers with another loud roar. The two are about to charge when another set of roars pierce the air. Two more beasts emerge, one from the cave, another from the water. They are Groudon and Kyogre, and they are not amused by the Vivosaurs using their battle ground. Now with their immunity cancelled out, Igno and Frigi decide to work together to win this fight. Kyogre clamps down on Frigi's tail and attempts to drag the sauropod back into the water. However, Frigi is far too strudy to be moved. Frigi lifts its tail up, pulling the whale Pokemon from the water. He then slams Kyogre back down. Kyogre is not deterred, and fires an ice beam. Frigi is unaffected, and counters with Absolute Zero. The body blow forces Kyogre deeper into the water. Kyogre roars and dives down, resurfacing to cause a massive tidal wave. The wave hits Frigi, knocking the beast off its feet and pulling it into the water.

Meanwhile, Groudon and Igno size each other up, trying to determine their next attacks. Igno has the size advantage and charges forward, but is met with a Slash attack to the face. Groudon follows up with a hammer arm, striking Igno hard in the jaw. Igno recoils before lunging again, clamping down on Groudon's shoulder with Burning Bite. Groudon however is used to fire based techniques and shrugs it off. He fires a Solar beam, hitting Igno point blank. The light from the attacks also Leaves Igno stunned, allowing Groudon to unleash earthquake. The attack hits hard, and knocks Igno off its feet. Groudon goes in for another slash, but Igno knocks it back with his tail. Igno then uses roaring fire to power up, and hits back hard with Volcanic combo. The two titans roar and charge, using tooth and claw to grapple each other. Groudon gets the upper hand and is able to throw Igno to the ground. Groudon then opens up a massive fissure, which Igno falls into. The fissure closes, crushing Igno inside.

Back underwater, Frigi feels his solo power ability and his invincibility aura return. He swims under Kyogre and tosses it out of the water. The water legendary is helpless as Frigi crushes it with Subzero Stomp. Frigi then barrels towards Groudon, ready to finish the fight. Groudon fires another solar beam, but it does nothing to the charging sauropod. Frigi rears back and unleashes Ice Age, which easily rips through Groudon's defenses. Frigi then slams down on top of the ground type, completely crushing it. Frigi steps off and bellows in victory, before plodding off.

(End music. Winner, Frigi)

Shadow: Another win for team Fossil Fighters.

Zilla: While Groudon and Kyogre could have won at first, the moment Igno was taken down, Frigi regained his invulnerability. The same would have happened to Igno if Frigi had been defeated, meaning Groudon and Kyogre stood no chance unless they could beat both Vivosaurs at the same time.
