[Johto Region, near the Whirl Islands]
A massive flood that seemed able to swallow everything appeared over the sea. The giant waves raised by Primal Kyogre were over a hundred meters tall, like moving mountain ranges crashing mercilessly against the coastline.
The power of Primordial Sea made the storm endless, and the sea level was rising at a visible speed.
Islands were swallowed one after another. Harbor cities that once stood there had become ruins beneath the water.
Countless ships along with Water-type and Flying-type Pokemon were busy rescuing civilians and resisting the disaster, but before Primordial Sea, everything looked powerless.
At that moment, a white-haired old man sat in a wheelchair near the shoreline. His eyes carried grief as his thoughts drifted far away.
"Mamoswine, Delibird, look at this weather. Doesn't it look like the day Lapras died?"
"And... this seems to be the place where Lapras was laid to rest."
"Ruu...", Mamoswine was clearly in low spirits. It looked toward Hoenn in the distance. That place had originally been covered by disaster just like here, but for some reason, the burning aura from the Fire-type power was getting weaker and weaker and was almost gone now.
It rubbed against Pryce's wheelchair, then its gaze suddenly sharpened as it looked at the giant waves in the distance.
"You also want to protect Lapras's home, don't you?", Pryce gently stroked Mamoswine and Delibird as he suddenly remembered the cold winter when Lapras died.
"In that case, before we completely disappear, let's do something for Lapras and this world one last time!"
"And...", Pryce looked in a certain direction behind him, and a trace of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face.
"I wonder after doing so many bad things... when we're gone, will Karen miss us? Will she remember when I first brought her back from the orphanage and taught her how to read and how to eat?"
"With that bastard Axel around, she probably won't become someone who takes revenge on the world after losing family like I did, right?"
"Lugia!", Pryce suddenly raised the Silver Wing in his hand, his voice carrying a long-lost pressure and strength that belonged to a top Trainer.
"Calm this raging sea down!"
"Wuuu!"
The god of the sea let out a clear cry and shot into the sky from the ocean.
Its huge silver wings spread wide. The supreme authority to control air currents erupted, trying to create a safe zone within the world-ending tsunami raised by Kyogre.
Violent wind and heavy rain clashed in the sky, creating deafening noise.
"Mamoswine, use Hail, Sheer Cold, Blizzard!"
Pryce gave three commands in a row. Mamoswine let out a roar that shook the ground as extreme freezing energy spread wildly from its body.
Fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky, and the surface of the sea rapidly froze at a speed visible to the eye.
It was not trying to freeze Kyogre. That was almost impossible. Instead, it wanted to create a massive ice field and forcibly stop the tsunami's advance, buying precious time for the cities behind them to evacuate.
Ice and giant waves collided violently. Steam spread everywhere before instantly freezing.
Frost formed on Pryce's white beard, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
From a sinner who once tried to control time, to someone now standing forward and using the power of ice to resist the disaster of water.
His heart had finally completed its redemption.
"Lugia, you probably still can't defeat that guy carrying the plate, right?"
"But that's alright...", Pryce muttered as he looked back at Johto one last time.
"I've raised them for so long. Actually, there's still one more move..."
"Some people might think I treat everything as a tool. Honestly, I once thought so too."
"But... after fleeing around with Mamoswine and Delibird during this period, I realized we also have bonds."
"Maybe it's not obvious normally, but once I die, they'll definitely be able to unleash power equal to gods."
At that point, Pryce suddenly shouted. A Poke Ball that had not been used for a very long time appeared in his hand, giving Mamoswine and Delibird no chance to react.
"Alakazam, teleport me next to Kyogre."
"Mamoswine, Delibird, after I die, go back and live at our Gym."
As if afraid the two Pokemon would lose hope, Pryce stressed it again.
"You must, must protect our Gym!"
"Come on, Kyogre, kill me!"
A Origin Pulse happened to sweep across Pryce's body, completely swallowing him.
The next moment, a terrifying roar erupted from Mamoswine as an ancient primal aura appeared around it.
Awakened · Ancient Species!
Its body continued expanding and spreading, just like the ancient Dragonite Ash and the others once encountered.
Carrying endless frost, it charged toward Primal Kyogre.
Delibird also cried out. Grief flashed through its usually silly-looking eyes as it flapped its wings like it had gone mad.
Terrifying ice and snow power exploded from its body, actually turning even the airflow released by Lugia into giant blades of ice.

"So this is the Rainbow Rocket Team's Mt. Coronet?"
Axel returned Gyarados to its Poke Ball and looked toward the distant mountaintop together with Gardevoir.
Compared to the Pokemon world, the Mt. Coronet here looked just as grand, but it also carried an extra sense of evil.
Red and black light intertwined around the summit, looking even more terrifying than the distorted space-time scene from the Pokemon world.
The palace at the summit was surrounded by Team Rocket, while Spear Pillar released ring after ring of unknown energy.
Under the influence of that atmosphere, even Axel could not help feeling irritated.
"A perfectly good Mt. Coronet got turned into this mess. I wonder if Arceus would get so angry it smacks Giovanni flying when it sees this," Axel still did not know that this world's Arceus avatar had already been captured, and casually joked with Gardevoir.
Gardevoir frowned slightly. As a telepathic Pokemon that had deeply developed mental power, it instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
["Master... Arceus... seems to be inside too, but its condition doesn't look good."]
["And... I can sense an aura inside that makes Rayquaza feel disgusted..."]
"Arceus is inside? And an aura Rayquaza hates?", Axel blinked as several thoughts appeared in his mind.
'This Giovanni is way too damn capable.'
An Arceus avatar normally had the power to suppress an entire world, yet Giovanni actually managed to deal with it.
And the aura Rayquaza hated was probably Deoxys that had been revived.
Thinking about the strength of the legendary Pokemon in this world, Axel came to a terrifying conclusion.
The genetic technology in this world was extremely advanced, allowing Team Rocket to create an incredibly terrifying Deoxys.
Otherwise, those regional legendary Pokemon could never have had the ability to imprison Arceus, or even the courage to attack it.
Even with Necrozma taking the lead, it still would have been impossible.
Axel immediately made a decision.
"Contact Cynthia and ask how Blaine's research on Deoxys is going in the Pokemon world."
