Kamon slipped into memory lane once more. This time, more of that night became clear.
"Nixyzon ordered you to exterminate Kamon!" Pantor yelled to Giovanni.
"You were Banrun's mentor! He trusted you, but now you're working for the enemy!"
"No, no, Banrun gave up any claim on Kamon when he turned his back on the company. They want Kamon dead."
Giovanni killed Pantor as usual.

Kamon awoke, realizing that he now knew Lewis Pantor's real personality – he was a greedy professor who cared little about Kamon.
"Lance?"
"What is it, Kamon?"
"When I passed out, I faintly heard a voice tell me, 'You're growing anxious. Stop asking questions! Remember nothing! It is safer that way.' And then I heard of something called Nixyzon."
"What happened before you passed out?" asked Lance.
"A man - the leader of Team Magma, I think - hypnotized me into awakening Groudon."
"It appears you were a victim."
"I don't know," Kamon said, unsure. "I felt some kind of connection, almost as if he was a long-lost relative of me."
Kamon looked at his burned foot, which had been bandaged by Lance. For some reason, the pain was gone. He pulled off the bandage.
"Wait! Your foot needs to heal!" He noticed that Kamon's foot did. There was no sign of any injury. "That was unusually fast – especially since it's a third-degree burn."

The Stelldox, Caliduct, and Birch families were relieved to see their children okay.
"Duncan, Crystal," said Roger. "We're so glad to see you okay."
"But what about Kamon?" asked Lisa. "What happened to him?"
"He's gone missing," answered Duncan. "Who knows where he went?"
"I hope he's fine," said Crystal. "Oh, what am I saying? He's got great instincts, so he'll be just fine."
May asked Norman, "Dad, has Kamon ever been odd to you?"
"I'm sure he's unusual, but he's family."
Family... Kamon wasn't part of the family at all! "That's what I want to tell you about! Kamon's not really a member of the Stelldox family!"
Duncan and Crystal were startled to hear this.
"You mean, he's not really Kamon?" asked Crystal. "Then who is he?"
"I know not, my friend."

Groudon, who had escaped from Team Magma's sea base, jumped into Sootopolis. There, it locked eyes with Kyogre, its eternity-long rival.
With one low bellow, the sun shined harshly.
The residents, in panic, took refuge into the water to cool off.
A loud growl from Kyogre resulted in clouds darkening the sky, and cooling the town.
The residents then took refuge back into their homes. On the other hand, Clark Teneval, fascinated by the battle, remained outside, taking pictures of the epic battle with his digital camera.
"This is simply amazing! The two legendary Pokemon duking it out in the 23rd century... and it's a perfect time for a photo shoot!"
---
The sun shined harshly into Sootopolis, while rain showered the surrounding area.
Winona, on flight with her Skarmory, noticed the unusual weather. "It looks like Team Magma already awakened Groudon. And it appears that Kyogre's gotten into a rampage!"
Back in Evergrande, the Elite Four were organized for counsel. Winona spoke through radio to the counsel. "And it looks like Groudon and Kyogre have headed to Sootopolis for their battle!"
"Then we have no choice," said Steven. "We must bring the Pokémon to peace and put them back to their rest!"
---
Kamon exited the house. He was back in Sootopolis, but a lot was going on – Groudon had escaped into town, and begun its brawl with Kyogre.
Lightning struck down into the water, shocking the Pokémon swimming in it.
"Lance! What do we do?" asked Kamon, wind blowing at his singed clothes.
"We need to head to the Cave of Origin where Rayquaza is!"
Struggling to reach the Cave of Origin, Kamon and Lance fought their way through wind and trees being pulled out of their roots. A great wave of water splashed into town.
"Whoa!" Clark struggled to stay on solid ground. Good thing his camera was waterproof! "Well, I think I'm done taking pictures. I should get out of here now!" He ran, partially swimming, to the underground shelter where the other townspeople were.
"Check it out, folks – I'm the brave research assistant who got pictures of the battle."
---
Lance and Kamon entered the cave, sheltered from the hurricane.
"This is where I first entered town," said Kamon. "There's two paths. The left one leads to Lilycove, while I haven't entered the right one."
"Then that's where we need to go."
Kamon and Lance followed the long path down. Fog gathered and obscured their view, and Kamon could smell something strange. "It smells like ozone."
"Rayquaza – or, at least, any trace of it – should be near."
They finally reached a pool of sulfurous water, but Lance was in for a surprise - no Rayquaza. Instead, Wallace, the league Champion, was standing next to the pool. "What had happened to Rayquaza?"
"Wallace? I don't know what happened, but it's left in wake of the burly brawl."
Kamon then felt a sudden shock of electricity in his brain. He groaned in pain.
"What is it, Kamon?" asked Lance in surprise.
"I see... a tall tower... in the ocean... near a small town of logs and rafts..."
"Pacifidlog Town, and step on it!" commanded Wallace to the Elite Four via Bluetooth. "Kamon and Lance, you head to Sky Pillar."

Rain started to thunder down at Mossdeep.
"It looks like we'll have to wait a while before we can head home," said Roger. "We'll make ourselves at home here."
Crystal began to lose hope. Kamon was no match for severe thunderstorms at sea.
Brendan, May, and Wally then grabbed raincoats and burst out the door.
"Hey, guys!" exclaimed Duncan. "Where are you going?"
"We're gonna find Steven," answered May. "He hasn't come back in a while."
"No way, folks, it's too dangerous." Shelly blocked the door. "So we're coming with you."
