Okay, here's chapter Five. Hope you enjoy. R&R

Two weeks later, May was doing a lot better. They had released her from the hospital and now the gang had went back to the business of finding where Team Aqua was and what to do to stop them. Kenneth and Bridget had left two days ago to pick the trail up. They had told Ash and the others to meet up with them, that they would leave clues so they could follow them and catch up.

Once May was well enough to leave, they started their journey. Ash had been really shaken when May had gotten hurt, and he thought he would die of happiness when he found out she would be okay. Now, she was her old self and everything was back as if she had never been injured.

Meanwhile, Bridget and Raichu were running as fast as they could back to Lilycove City, hoping Kenneth would not catch them. Bridget was still having problems believing it had actually happened. She thought back to an hour ago, when they had confronted to highly placed Aqua executives.

Kenneth sent out Gyarados and Bridget sent out her Venusaur. The two Aqua Executives sent out a Mightyena and a Sharpedo. Gyarados launched a Hyper Beam at Mightyena, knocking the dark pokemon to the ground. Mightyena was recalled and Golbat took his place. As the battle raged, the two executives stopped attacking with pokemon and started attacking with words.

"You're good boy, good enough to get a top spot in Team Aqua."

"Yes, and you will get all of the money you could ever dream of."

"Go to hell. We will not turn the planet into an ocean. We obey the law and we respect others and their pokemon."

As they went on, Bridget realized they were slowly getting to Kenneth. Then, without warning, it happened.

"Join Team Aqua now and you could become the most powerful pokemon trainer in the world. All the money, all of the fame, all of the power can be yours."

"Power...Gyarados, Fire Blast on Venusaur, now!"

The next thing she new, Venusaur was on the ground, unable to battle anymore. Bridget, out of fear, tears now forming in her eyes, turned and ran off, Raichu behind her, pausing only long enough to recall her Venusaur...

That was the last time she had seen him. Now, her mission was to find Ash and the others and warn them of what had happened before they walked into a trap.

Three hours later, right after lunch, she ran into May, literally.

"Ouch, sorry...oh, hey May. Glad to see you're better. Where are Ash and the others?"

"They're getting lunch ready; I'm going to get some water by the stream while they collect fire wood to cook. Where's Kenneth?"

"I have to talk to all of you. Kenneth...you have no idea..."

"Okay, they're this way, come on."

So let me get this straight. Kenneth was swayed by Team Aqua and during the battle with them, he turned on you and attacked your Venusaur and then you run away? Why is his Raichu with you?"

"Raichu isn't stupid. He knew what was happening. He got out while he could."

"So, what do we do now?" Max asked.

"If they keep to their original plan, they will try to steal more water pokemon."

"We can't let that happen." Ash said, standing up with Pikachu on his shoulder. "We have to stop them before they succeed. Where did you two encounter Team Aqua?"

"Not that far down the trail. I could show you. I have a question though. What do we do if we have to face Kenneth in a pokemon battle? I don't think I could beat him with any of my pokemon."

"We'll have to face him anyway. Maybe we can talk him out of it."

"What are we waiting for, lets go."

For rest of the day, Ash, Misty, James, Brock, Max, and May followed Bridget until that night, when they discovered the hideout of Team Aqua. They found Kenneth and one of the executives.

"It's time to move out. Now that we know where the ancient pokemon Kyogre lives, we can finally achieve our goals."

"I agree. Once Kyogre is awaken, the world will be made into what it should truly be. Okay, let's move out."

"What do we do now? They're moving out."

"Ash, you are so stupid. We're going to follow them of course. This is our chance to defeat Team Aqua once and for all."

"I knew that Misty."

Fearing another fight between the two, like it was when they first met, Brock intervened.

"Look, they're leaving. If we hurry, we can follow them to their next destination."

"Okay, lets go."

They followed Team Aqua to a cave underwater south of Mossdeep City. Slowly and quietly, Raichu and Pikachu used their Thunder Wave attacks to stun anyone they came across, trying to avoid as many battles as they possibly could. Eventually, they came across the two executives Bridget had fought the day Kenneth had went bad.

"You again? I thought you had learned your lesson the last time we met? No? Okay then, this time we'll teach you a lesson you will never forget. Golbat, Sharpedo, go!"

"Mightyena, Carvana, go!"

Ash and Misty stepped forward; Misty brought two poke balls to her hands while Ash brought only one out.

"Grovyle, Pikachu, I choose you!"

"Starmie, Corsola. go!"

The battle was an even confrontation, with four pokemon on each side.

"Starmie, Corsola, use Bubblebeam attack to blind Sharpedo and Carvana."

The two water pokemon obliged and a blast of bubbles shot forward, hitting the two opponents and making it so they could not see anything.

"Pikachu, hit them with Thunder!"

"Pi...ka...chuuuu!"

The burst of electricity burst forth and a second later, Carvana and Sharpedo were unable to battle, leaving Mightyena and Golbat against Starmie, Corsola, Pikachu, and Grovyle.

"Okay Pikachu, Thunder, Grovyle, Solar Bea..."

"Rai!"

Everyone turned to see Raichu standing there, sparks flying from his yellow cheeks, a look of revenge on his face. Bridget looked at the little mouse pokemon.

"What is it Raichu?"

"Raichu Rai i Rai Raichu chu." (They turned Kenneth against us and himself.)

"What's your point Raichu?"

"Raichu Raichu Rai i Raichu chu chu." (If anyone is going to defeat these losers, it should be me. I want to finish this battle.)

"Raichu wants to finish this battle to avenge what they did to Kenneth."

"Are you sure Raichu?" Ash asked, looking at Raichu in amazement.

"Rai" (I am sure Ash)

"Okay Raichu, get out there and give them a Thunderbolt they'll never forget. If you can, get the executives too."

Raichu rushed forward passed the four other Pokemon and without stopping let loose a massive wave of electricity, which in turned slammed into the reaming Team Aqua pokemon as well as the two executives. When the air cleared, it was clear the battle was over. Ash and Misty retrieved their pokemon and then proceeded to a small entrance hole in the far wall.

The room they were in was large with a small pool in the center. In the pool was a blue, sleeping pokemon. Ash took out his Pokedex.

Kyogre, the Sea Basin Pokemon: Named in mythology as the pokemon that expanded the sea by covering the land with torrential rain and towering tidal waves. It took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle with Groudon. Other information is unavailable.

"Look, it's Archie." May said, pointing to the far side of the pool. Ash nodded, his face turning serious.

"Let's get him."

The group rushed around the pool and came face-to-face with Archie, leader of Team Aqua.

"Archie, you are..."

The Orb Archie had stolen started to glow, and then Kyogre awoke from it's deep sleep. After a loud roar, it sunk into the water and disappeared. Archie was frantic.

"Kyogre was supposed to listen to me, but it isn't."

Just then, a hole in the ground appeared and an Onix appeared. Out of the hole came several Team Magma members, and bringing up the end of the line was Kenneth.

"Archie, your reign of terror is over."

"Kenneth? I thought you were with me?"

"You should have been careful about accepting me. By letting me know your plan, I was able to contact Team Magma and now we are here to shut you down: for good."

"Ohhh, I see. But maybe you should know I have awoken the giant pokemon Kyogre."

"Yeah, we know. Maybe you should go outside and see your damage for yourself?"

"What?"

"It's raining all over Hoenn. From Mossdeep City to Sootopolosis City to Rustboro City. If we don't stop it, Hoenn will be a big ocean in 24 hours. In 48 hours, Johto will be underwater, and in two days, the whole world will be submerged."

"We never meant for it to..."

"Yes, but it has happened and only by helping each other can we hope to stop it, right Maxie?"

The leader of Team Magma nodded, his face the grimmest of them all.

"Let's get to the surface."

The entire group, from Team Aqua to Team Magma to Ash and the others, rushed up to the surface. Once they arrived, they saw it was as dark as night, and it was raining harder than any of them had ever seen before.

"What have I done?" Archie asked. Maxie looked at him.

"The disturbance has been found to be originating from Sootopolis City. Let's go and stop this while we still can."

"I agree."

Archie and Maxie looked at Kenneth and the others.

"All of you have been helpful up to this point. But now, it has gone too far for kids to handle. We will take it from here."

With that, they ach summoned a flying pokemon and took off for Sootopolis City. Bridget looked at Kenneth.

"Aren't you with Team Aqua?"

"No. I faked it to get inside Team Aqua and discover their plan. I have a contact in Team Magma I contacted and together we decided to take Archie down. I see you guys beat me. I'm sorry for the deception, but I had to fake my best so it would seem real to them. Bridget, was Venusaur okay?"

"Nothing a Hyper Potion and a Burn Heal couldn't take care of. Do you think maybe next time you could warn me in advance?"

"I'll try. Raichu, do you believe me?"

"Raichu." (I do believe you.)

"Okay guys, lets get to Sootopolis City and stop Kyogre."
"We don't have enough flying pokemon Ash."

Kenneth laughed.

"No, but I do have a Kadabra and it can teleport all of us. Kadabra, I choose you!"

Once Kadabra was out, he wasted no time.

"Kadabra, teleport us to Sootopolis City."

"Kadabra." (Hang onto your panties ladies)

The next instant they were in Sootopolis City. James looked at the others.

"My bet is the Cave of Origins."

"Okay, let's go."

They ran all the way to the Cave of Origins. Waiting for them was James' father, Wallace.

"Dad..."

"Hey son. I suppose you know about Kyogre?"

"We do?"

"Only one may go in, someone foreign to Sootpolis."

"Kenneth, you and Raichu..."

"No Ash. It's not our fate to stop Kyogre."

"Whose is it?"

"I believe it's yours. You and Pikachu can do it. Raichu shall accompany you. Raichu, you are to take orders from Ash while inside of the cave. Be careful."

They all nodded and Ash, Pikachu, and Raichu walked off from the main group and into the cave, heading on a crash course for the super-rare Kyogre.

An hour later, the rain stopped and Ash returned, a smile on his face, and an Ultra Ball in his hand. Misty looked stunned as Ash showed off his Ultra Ball.

"Ash, did you..."

"I used the Ultra Ball mom gave me to capture Kyogre. Kyogre is mine."

"Prophecy says if Kyogre is defeated in battle or captured, then the rain would end. Congratulations Ash." Wallace said, shaking Ash's hand.

"Thank you."

"Kids, you have taught me a lot. I am sorry for what has happened and I have given up on trying to make the seas larger. I doubt we will meet again, so fair well." Archie turned and walked off.

Later, at the Pokemon center, Ash and the others said good by to Kenneth and Bridget, The two had decided to travel together alone for a while.

"Ash, you did good my friend. I have a feeling we'll meet at the Hoenn League someday, battling for top spot. Good luck Ash Ketchum."

"Good Luck to you too Kenneth."

The two waved as they left for Mossdeep City. They all knew Kenneth was right about the Hoenn League, and the battle would be spectacular...
