Archie looked away from Shelly. He turned his head to look at Maxie.
He did not know why, but his situation was getting worse. However, he felt a little happy because Maxie was having trouble too. This was different from the helpless feeling he had just a moment ago.
"Maxie!"
Archie was hit by an explosion very close to him. This hurt his body inside. He spat out some blood. Then he looked at Maxie with a mocking look. He laughed loudly and shouted.
"How do you feel now? What are you going to do!?"
Maxie saw Archie's annoying face. Then he looked at Natsui. Natsui was watching them like a hunter. Maxie was very angry! He did not say it, but he knew what Archie meant.
Archie wanted to say that since Primal Groudon was now out of control, he did not care anymore. Now, all the pressure was on Maxie.
Maxie did not understand why Archie was so happy. He wondered if Archie was crazy. Natsui was their common enemy! Did Archie hate Maxie more than the enemy?
However, Maxie could not figure it out, but he did not have time to worry about it.
He knew that in a Primal Reversion state, even Deoxys was not as strong as Primal Kyogre. But right now, Primal Groudon was fighting with Primal Kyogre. Also, that man had several other legendary Pokémon besides Deoxys. It was a very hard situation!
Before Natsui arrived, Maxie made big claims and acted like he had no fear. But now that the man was actually standing in front of him, Maxie felt a lot of pressure even with Primal Kyogre on his side!
Luckily, he was not fighting alone.
Following Maxie's order, many Team Magma members came out of the ship below him. These members acted like they were full of energy. They made strange shouts as they jumped onto the small island. They ran toward the center without fear!
It was not strange that they were working so hard. It was because Team Magma was currently very strong.
They were missing one Admin, which seemed like a loss in their leadership. However, they now had a Primal Pokémon. This made up for the loss and increased their strength!
Every member of Team Magma knew that right now was the final moment. They were closer to winning than ever before!
The only regret was that they had Kyogre, not Groudon. If they had Groudon instead of Kyogre, they would not be in this mess.
This was a small regret.
But it did not matter. If they could catch Groudon now, the dream of Maxie and Team Magma would come true!
Seeing these attacking Team Magma members, Natsui, Shelly, and Misty also released their other Pokémon.
Shelly and Misty used their usual Water-type Pokémon.
As for Natsui, he used a special team for this mission.
Besides Deoxys and the Black Rayquaza, which was still in its Ultra Ball, he moved his hand. He released five legendary Pokémon: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Suicune, and Raikou!
These five Pokémon worked together. When they spread out, they were like a net that could catch every Pokémon except Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. When they were together, they were very strong. They could make those two ancient Pokémon feel their power!
In addition to them, Gardevoir and Dragonite were also released. They stood with Gengar to protect the three humans.
As for his other regular Pokémon, Natsui did not send them out. It was not because they were weak. Instead, he wanted to keep them as a backup for any new problems!
Natsui had learned this from many fights. Even at the last moment, you must have a secret plan!
On the field, the appearance of these Pokémon changed the battle.
Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were still fighting each other. They thought the other was the biggest threat. When Deoxys joined the fight, Natsui told it with his mind to ignore Primal Groudon. It only attacked Primal Kyogre.
Ignoring one and focusing on the other was the way to win this battle!
And Primal Kyogre was still Natsui's target.
However, Kyogre was in its Primal form now. This made its power much greater. As a result, Deoxys's attacks did not work very well.
From this point, Deoxys could fight Kyogre and Groudon before, but now the Primal forms were much stronger!
Maxie felt a little better.
As he expected, Deoxys could not defeat a legendary Pokémon in its Primal Reversion state!
Now, he thought only the legendary Mega Rayquaza could threaten them!
However, when he looked at the other parts of the battlefield, he became angry again.
Different groups were fighting. It was not just Team Magma fighting Natsui. Even the remaining members of Team Aqua were there. Some had left, but many people stayed because they were angry. They began attacking Team Magma!
To these Team Aqua members, their plan to catch Groudon failed because Team Magma appeared. They hated Team Magma for that.
These people hated Team Magma more than they hated Natsui!
Natsui did not care about that.
No matter what Maxie and Archie were thinking, both men were his enemies. He did not need to show mercy.
"Deoxys, change to Attack Forme!"
After he gave the order to Deoxys in his mind, he gave instructions to the five legendary Pokémon.
Under his command, the three legendary birds flew across the sky. They went straight for Maxie on the sea. Meanwhile, Raikou and Suicune ran across the ground and went toward Archie.
He knew that to catch the group, you must first catch the leader.
And most importantly, he had to stop these two men and take the orbs from them!
Maxie noticed his plan.
Seeing the three legendary birds fly over the battlefield and approach from the air, his face changed. He shouted loudly to those around him.
"Quick! Stop them!!"
Tabitha and several elite guards nearby felt like they were facing a great enemy. No one was lazy. They released their Pokémon to block the birds.
But the Pokémon of these people could not block the three legendary birds.
In just one fight, the Pokémon in front of Maxie were defeated and fell!
Maxie looked at the three legendary Pokémon in front of him. He was sweating because he was scared.
He made a mistake!
He knew how strong Primal Kyogre was, but he only now realized that Natsui did not need to attack Kyogre with full force. If Natsui captured him, it would be over!
This was bad.
With Primal Kyogre's power, it did not fear these Pokémon. However, there were so many enemies, so it could not protect him.
Also, it was far away on the island fighting Primal Groudon and Deoxys. It could not come back to help!
But even so, he did not want to give up!
Maxie ignored the Team Magma members falling down. He held the Blue Orb tightly with one hand. He told it to come back to save him. On the other hand, he took many Poké Balls from his pocket and threw them.
Many Pokémon appeared with blue lights and blocked the three legendary birds!
He was a leader, so he was stronger than the elite members. In his view, even if his Pokémon could not stop them, they could slow them down for a while.
Unfortunately, he was wrong about the power of the three legendary birds together.
If a person faced just one bird, they might defeat it with many Pokémon.
But these three birds were moving together!
They had worked with Natsui for a long time. Their strength was high, and their teamwork was perfect.
Ice, lightning, and fire energy came out. They mixed together. Almost instantly, they defeated the Pokémon that Maxie hoped would save him!
It was not over yet. The birds surrounded Maxie. They did not give him a chance to run away. While Maxie looked for a gap to escape, Zapdos moved its head very fast. It took the orb in its mouth!
Maxie tried to protect the orb in his arms. But a human is not as strong as a Pokémon.
Zapdos pulled the Blue Orb away!
"No!!!"
Maxie was fuming. He was very angry and could not stay calm!
Primal Kyogre did not listen to anyone. It only followed the orb. But now that the orb was stolen, he could not control it!
He reached out his hand to grab the orb back. But in the next second, something grabbed his body. His whole body was held by a pair of bird claws and taken into the air!
The owner of these claws was Moltres!
Maxie was like prey. He was held in the air with his arms pinned. He could not move. He cried out in shock, but he had no strength to resist!
His mind went blank.
He could not understand. He was the leader of Team Magma. Why did he end up in this terrible state?
On the island, Archie was not laughing at Maxie.
Because Raikou and Suicune were on the ground and many people were in the way, they were not as fast as the birds.
But they were very powerful. They moved through the obstacles and arrived in front of Archie!
"Damn it... is it over..."
Archie held his chest and spat out blood again. He did not run away. Instead, he leaned against a rock.
He did not want to resist or escape because he had no strength.
His body was strong, but the explosion from Groudon hurt his body inside.
He was bleeding inside. Moving even a little bit hurt very much!
Suicune and Raikou stood near him and surrounded him.
However, as the two Pokémon approached him, a roar was heard. A strong man ran in front of Archie.
Archie was surprised to see this person.
"M... Matt!?"
The person was Matt, a Team Aqua Admin!
Matt was even bigger than Archie. He looked like a tower of black iron. Usually, he looked very scary.
But right now, Matt was also in a bad state. He had many wounds. Even so, he blocked the way in front of Archie. He said without looking back.
"Leader, I'll distract them! Take the chance and run quickly!!!"
It was clear that Archie's followers loved him. Even in a dangerous moment, someone was willing to help!
"It's useless..." Archie slowly shook his head. "I can't walk anymore. You, on the other hand, should leave quickly. Our Team Aqua must not be completely destroyed here!"
"What are you joking about!?" Matt roared at the two legendary Pokémon. "How could I ever leave you and run away!?"
After saying that, he ran toward Suicune and Raikou!
But a strong stream of water hit his body. It pushed him back. He crashed next to Archie.
Matt could not resist the water. He fainted next to Archie.
Archie looked at him. He was sad for his loyal man. Then he saw two shadows. Suicune and Raikou were right in front of him!
They were so close that he could feel the mist and the electricity!
The Red Orb fell from his hand. It rolled and hit Suicune's foot.
"Smirk... haha..." Archie stopped looking at the two Pokémon. He looked up at the dark sky and whispered.
"This really is... truly merciless..."
