The victory was short-lived. As the Mecha-Tentacruel groaned and slid into the depths, its massive weight didn't just settle on the seabed—it acted as a final, catastrophic wedge.
The Obsidian Key in my hand began to vibrate so violently it nearly shattered the Stamina Band. The water didn't just ripple; it began to boil.
The Awakening: The Primal Clash
"Jake... look at the readings!" May screamed, clutching the Soul Dew.
From the center of the Sootopolis Crater, the sky split. To the East, a sun so fierce it turned the ocean to steam erupted—Primal Groudon breached the surface, its skin like cooling magma. To the West, a torrential deluge began that felt like the sky was falling—Primal Kyogre rose, its bioluminescent patterns glowing with a hateful, ancient light.
They weren't just awake; they were furious. The "Siphon" had drained their essence, and they were blaming each other—and us—for the violation.
The Battle of the Ages:
Steven & Wallace: Their Metagross and Milotic were washed away like toys by a single Precipice Blade.
The Elite Four: Drake's dragons were grounded by the sheer pressure of the Origin Pulse.
Our Titans: Kage, Blaze, and Genji stood their ground, but even as final-stage evolutions, they were like ants before gods. Eli and Raven formed a psychic-dark shield, but it was cracking under the weight of the conflicting weather.
"It's not enough!" I yelled, the Stamina Band glowing red as I tried to ground the energy. "We're fighting the planet itself!"
The Triple Threat: Enter the Delta
Just as Kyogre lunged for a world-ending Hydro Pump and Groudon readied a Solar Beam, a piercing, draconic shriek tore the atmosphere apart. A green flash cut through the storm clouds, scattering the EMP lightning like straw.
Rayquaza descended, its long, serpentine body glowing with emerald "Delta" energy. And perched on its snout, looking like they'd just ridden through a hurricane, were Brendan and Zenia.
"Took you long enough, Anomaly!" Brendan yelled, his own Mega-Bracelet sparking.
Zenia stood tall, her Lorekeeper cloak billowing. "The Dragon doesn't care for your 'Coalition' or your 'Siphons,' Jake! He's here to put the children back to bed!"
[Chat Log: ABSOLUTE CRITICAL GLOBAL EVENT]
GymBro_Chuck: IS THAT RAYQUAZA?! THE STREAM IS HITTING 100 MILLION VIEWERS!
Master_Oak: The Delta Stream is neutralizing the Primal weather! This is our only chance!
Steven_Stone: Jake! Use the Obsidian Key! Link with Rayquaza's Delta Stream! We have to force them back into the Orbs!
The Final Boss Fight: Titan-Delta Synergy
"Titans! Line formation!" I commanded.
The Strategy: Rayquaza would act as the "Nullifier," dampening the gods' power. But it needed the Titans to deliver the "Binding Strikes.
"Eli & Raven: They linked minds with Zenia, creating a psychic tether between us and Rayquaza.
The Song: Eli reached into my mind for one last anthem. Not a song of heroes, but a song of Gods.
"Zenia! Brendan! Give us the opening!" I shouted.
Rayquaza unleashed a Dragon Ascent, a streak of emerald light that slammed between the two Primal titans, forcing them apart.
"Now! Kage, Blaze, Genji! TRIPLE TITAN IMPACT!"
