Upon seeing the scar on his forehead, {{adv|Sapphire}} learns that {{adv|Ruby}} is the boy she met when she was younger. A voice appears, and asks if Ruby is finished. The voice is revealed to be [[Magma Admin Courtney|Marge]], who had come to help. Ruby, with both Orbs in hand, flies on {{p|Tropius|Pilo}} towards Groudon and Kyogre with Marge. Sapphire, locked inside [[Wallace]]'s aircar, watches in horror as Ruby and Marge fight {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. | |||
Wallace, watching the battle on top of {{p|Registeel}} wonders why Ruby trapped Sapphire in his car and is fighting with a woman from [[Team Magma]]. Wallace, having put is trust in Ruby and Sapphire and called [[Juan]] to train them, wonders what is going on in Ruby's mind. {{Steven}} snaps Wallace out of it, and points out that they have to get Sapphire out of the aircar immediately. | |||
On top of {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}, the Elite Four comment about how Groudon and Kyogre never seem to get tired. {{EF|Drake}} notes that with the power of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, the power erupting from Kyogre and Groudon is being contained. However, [[Glacia]] and [[Phoebe]] note that the power continues to increase, and with nowhere to go, it rises up into the sky. | |||
As Ruby dodges the debris being sent up by the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre, he wonders if his decision was the right one. In his head, Ruby notes that he's surprised that not only could a nice girl like Sapphire actually like someone like him, but Sapphire is the girl he knew when he was younger. Marge appears next to Ruby, and berates him for not focusing, which could end in his death. Ruby apologizes to Marge and admits that he'd never thought he would fight together with her. | |||
In a flashback to [[Mirage Island]], Ruby tries to get his malfunctioning Pokédex to work. Suddenly, it begins to work again, and has been filled with the [[Mixing records|records]] of Sapphire's adventures. Ruby realizes that their Pokédexes must have been connected to each other when they were knocked around by the attacks of Groudon and Kyogre. While Sapphire sleeps, Ruby reads how much Sapphire had traveled on foot compared to how he had been moving around by car throughout his adventure. | |||
Suddenly, a flame appears in darkness, which is revealed to be Marge. Ruby immediately sends out [[Zuzu]] to defend himself and demands to know why she's there. Marge reminds Ruby that she had promised to follow Ruby everywhere he goes, no matter the cost. Ruby quickly realizes that when [[Tate and Liza]] sensed the presence of someone else, they sensed Marge, not {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Marge gives Ruby the offer to team up and stop Groudon, shocking him. | |||
When Ruby questions he motives, Marge reveals that even though she helped free Groudon to increase the land, the entire thing has gone far beyond what Team Magma and Aqua had intended. Because there's no point in anything if Hoenn is destroyed, Marge considers her and Ruby on the same side. Marge reveals that she knows that Ruby and Sapphire are undergoing training to control the Orbs, but proposes the idea of what would happen to Sapphire if she lost control. As Ruby imagines a possessed Sapphire, he reluctantly accepts Marge's offer. | |||
Back in the present, Marge notes that Ruby must really like Sapphire if he accepted her offer so quickly. Marge expresses some jealousy at Ruby's caring of Sapphire, which confuses Ruby. Ruby hands Marge the Blue Orb and the two prepare to end the battle. | |||
