Once the sub reaches the dock inside, two crew members acknowledge their boss, [[Maxie]], who is waiting for them. Maxie notices Ash and his friends, now exposed to everyone's sight, frantically looking for another place to hide. After forcing them on deck with their hands raised, the team then encircles Ash and his friends, and they use two of their Mightyena to guard the prisoners. While they talk, another female Magma member slips unnoticed out of the sub, and heads off another way. Maxie and Tabitha confer briefly about the possibility of [[Team Aqua]] being nearby, then the scene switches to the mysterious female Magma member. She approaches two male grunts that are guarding a door. Two well-placed punches later, both grunts are out cold. The woman then pulls back her hood to reveal that she is actually Tactical Commander [[Shelly]] of Team Aqua. She goes into the door, entering a room that houses {{p|Kyogre}}'s containment chamber. Yes, Team Magma has captured Kyogre, and Team Aqua wants it. Shelly punches a code into the control panel for the chamber, and a rush of steam comes from several vents inside it. | Once the sub reaches the dock inside, two crew members acknowledge their boss, [[Maxie]], who is waiting for them.

Meanwhile, Team Magma has taken their captives to Maxie's office on the ship. Maxie tells Ash and his friends to sit down so they can talk, but Ash angrily refuses, saying he'd rather stand. In response, the {{p|Mightyena}} growl fiercely at the captives. This frightens {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the group finally sits down. Ash promptly yells at Maxie, the Mightyena growl again, and May calls Ash's name in a scared voice, meaning he should calm down. Tabitha jumps in, saying nobody talks to his boss that way, but Maxie calms him down. Maxie goes on to explain about their plans to increase the earth's land, and surprises Ash and his friends by saying they plan to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}}. They have currently captured a Kyogre, which Team Aqua is after, and they know that Team Aqua has a Groudon, so they want to swap prisoners. | Meanwhile, Team Magma has taken their captives to Maxie's office on the ship.

The [[Blue Orb]] rises from Maxie's desk, and he explains that whoever holds the orb can control a Groudon, giving him ultimate power. Team Magma plans to use that power to increase the world's land and finally defeat Team Aqua. | ||
Meanwhile, Shelly has now managed to increase the humidity in Kyogre's chamber to enough of a level that it can be revived. Alarm sirens sound in that room, and even as far up as Maxie's office. Everyone is startled, and Maxie hits the button for the intercom on his desk. A Magma grunt's voice on the intercom explains the situation. Kyogre has now fully awakened, and Shelly calls out for it to break free. It breaks its bonds without much difficulty, but can't break its muzzle. Regardless, it plunges through the wall and into the ocean, causing the ship to tilt violently to one side. A red-haired male Magma grunt confronts Shelly on the ship's deck. She removes her Magma disguise, revealing her Team Aqua wet suit, and leaps overboard into the water. | Meanwhile, Shelly has now managed to increase the humidity in Kyogre's chamber to enough of a level that it can be revived.

Back in Maxie's office, scrambled intercom reports of the confusion related to Kyogre's escape are still pouring in. Suddenly, a blast (apparently from Kyogre) knocks Maxie down and sends the Blue Orb flying. {{an|Brock}} exclaims that now's their chance to get it, so Ash gets Pikachu to do so. Tabitha has the three Mightyena who had been guarding them try to stop Pikachu, but Pikachu jumps from one Mightyena's head to the other, and finally to the orb. Pikachu lands, having successfully caught it. Suddenly, a quick cutscene shows an opening eye and a growl, and the Blue Orb starts to glow and absorb itself into Pikachu's body! Pikachu writhes in pain briefly, and at Maxie's suggestion, Tabitha takes the opportunity to have the Mightyena attack. Hearing them, a possessed Pikachu turns around and defeats all three with a supercharged {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu sways back and forth from the strain, and Tabitha pulls out a [[Poké Ball]], but just then, another explosion hits the wall behind him. Ash and his friends take that opportunity to escape. Tabitha helps his boss up, and Maxie says they've got to get that Pikachu back. | Back in Maxie's office, scrambled intercom reports of the confusion related to Kyogre's escape are still pouring in.

Archie holds up the | Not far away, Team Aqua's sub surfaces, as Shelly reports to Aqua Leader Archie that the operation to release Kyogre was successful. Archie holds up the [[Red Orb]], and it glows, summoning Kyogre, who releases a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Team Aqua's ship. On that ship, the red-haired Magma member pulls out a Poké Ball, noting that the situation has now turned drastic. But then he notices Ash and his friends on the deck below him, recognizing Ash and wondering what he's doing mixed up in all this. Brock says their only chance is to abandon ship, so he dives into the water along with May and Max. Ash and Pikachu are about to follow when they're suddenly blindsided by one of Tabitha's Mightyena. Tabitha gloats, having cornered Ash. | ||
May, Max, and Brock now surface and wonder where Ash is. Then, they notice that he's been captured! Tabitha and his two Mightyena are bringing Ash onto Team Magma's helicopter. Tabitha confers with a teammate, while the mysterious red-headed grunt listens. The helicopter takes off from Team Magma's ship as Archie watches from his sub. With the Red Orb still in hand, [[Archie]] promptly has Kyogre finish off the ship, so it is sure to sink. This creates a powerful downward current that pushes May, Max, and Brock deeper into the water, | May, Max, and Brock now surface and wonder where Ash is. Then, they notice that he's been captured!

The scene then switches to show Team Rocket, lying on a beach with the wind knocked out of them. This is where they had landed following the previous episode's blastoff. They recognize Team Magma's helicopter flying overhead, and wonder what they're up to. Meanwhile, out in the ocean, a [[Red Gyarados]] surfaces, carrying an unconscious May, Max, and Brock. They awaken, and May and Max promptly get scared when they realize they're on a Gyarados, but Brock recognizes it as [[Lance]]'s. | The scene then switches to show Team Rocket, lying on a beach with the wind knocked out of them.
