After meeting up with [[Sheena]], who had traveled to the past to stop Damos's apparent betrayal of Arceus, he learned how the future would have turned out as well as his own death. After deducing that Damos didn't use it, he then changed his plans to include silver water as well while attacking Arceus. This proved to be very effective and left the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}} helpless as the overall assault immobilized it. However, Sheena and Damos were able to communicate with the hearts of all the Pokémon, including {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Heatran}}, making them turn against Marcus, and {{Ash}} was able to make him give up the Jewel of Life by wrestling with him until he dropped it. As Ash caught the Jewel of Life and rushed with his {{AP|Pikachu}} to return it to Arceus, {{an|Dawn}}, her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and another group consisting of a {{p|Chikorita}}, a {{p|Cyndaquil}}, a {{p|Totodile}}, and multiple {{p|Rattata}}, cornered Marcus, preventing him from following.

Even then, however, Marcus wasn't defeated yet. Although the Pokémon had stopped attacking and Ash had the Jewel of Life, with Marcus unable to get it back, Arceus, now stranded at the bottom of the shrine, was by that time on the edge of death as the silver water continued to bury it. This, in turn, set off a strange sequence that nearly destroyed Ash, Dawn, {{an|Brock}}, Pikachu, Piplup, and Sheena; Ash and Pikachu began to disappear first as Marcus explained to Dawn what was going on.

Although the Pokémon had stopped attacking and Ash had the Jewel of Life, with Marcus unable to get it back, Arceus, now stranded at the bottom of the shrine, was by that time on the edge of death as the silver water continued to bury it. This began causing the timeline to shift, nearly erasing Ash, Dawn, {{an|Brock}}, Pikachu, Piplup, and Sheena; Marcus indifferently informed Dawn that they were disappearing as a result of history changing. Only Marcus, Damos and the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] were unaffected, due to their being from a point in time prior to the shift caused by Arceus's impending death.


At that moment, Damos managed to reach the last remaining spark of life in Arceus's heart, giving it enough strength to reabsorb the Jewel of Life and fully recover, thus thwarting Marcus's plans and saving everyone from destruction (except Damos himself and a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|Pichu]] he befriended, who did not start disappearing.) However, the overflowing silver water caused the temple to begin to crumble, as it had in the original timeline from Arceus's counterattack. The ledge Marcus was standing on collapsed, and he was heard screaming. His crown was later seen on a rock, implying that he fell.

In the ending credits, Marcus was revealed to have survived the fall. He was seen working in Michina Town's fields alongside Damos, exhausted from the work necessary to keep the land alive without the Jewel of Life's power.
