SilverUmbra, goldeneye101, theredone1223, and Quaystor...I love how you guys love this story! Your reviews have been very helpful to me and has meant the entire world...you motivated me to finish this story! The whole Magikarp thing was an idea I couldn't help. And I'm gonna miss this story...-cries, then perks up immediately- but it's been a rare accomplishment in my "I almost never complete a story" standards. Anywho, without further ado, here's the final chappy! WHOOOOO!!
Conclusion
Restoration
The ground that used to be the ocean rumbled as a large chunk of land detached itself into the air. Groudon flicked another claw in a circle and any stray debris collected into a ball. Then, with one final swipe, the giant clump of rock and dirt was sent high into the air, where Rayquaza readily destroyed it with a Hyper Beam.
They looked at Kyogre, her fishy rescuer, and Rachel watching from the sidelines. "How'd you like that?" They both exclaimed playfully, a nearby translator making it clear.
"Show offs." Kyogre muttered as her human friend took a sip of her lemonade.
"Males." Rachel said afterwards, rolling her eyes and poking the icecubes in her drink with her straw. Kyogre nodded.
"Bless Arceus for that!" the orca agreed, earning a smile from her pet (yes pet!) Magikarp, which she creatively named Karpie.
Groudon and Rayquaza went over, Groudon pricked by the words while Rayquaza was just plain insulted. Rachel smiled as she took another sip and Kyogre waved her flipper indifferently. Clouds formed over the hole and the air dampened and soon, unbelievably heavy rainfall poured into that depression in the ground.
It's been a few days since the incident. Richard was put away and Rachel...well, she made a new Legendary friend and gained some self-esteem. She was jobless, but that didn't seem to bother her...
As for the Legendaries...Rayquaza still didn't get her sleep like he planned, but he found that this paticular trip to the ground was...actually worthwhile. As he thought back to Arceus words, he figured that he did have more than enough reason to stay for a bit longer.
Groudon had his dream come true. There was no more major fights between him and his counterpart and instead gained the love her always wanted. His gift to her was nowhere to be found, and assumed to be destroyed forever...but after reassurances from Kyogre, he figured that it didn't matter. It wasn't the actual object that purified them, it was the love it carried within.
And as for Kyogre...she's still onm the steady road to recovery, though she's already brewing with energy. She has reason to be bouncy. It was the first day of spring, her favorite season, filled with rainy showers and...well...it's the season for romance!
The orca nuzzled against Groudon, who smiled and held her close. Rayquaza made a face and flew for the atmosphere. "I'm out." he muttered sourly.
Rachel watched him go, still sipping her drink. She looked at the couple beside her. "He's just jealous."
The lovers chuckled at this and they stared into each others eyes affectionatly. Groudon rubbed his partner's blushing cheeks with a paw and she licked him in response. The human onlooker smiled, then did a double take at the flooding, overflowing lake.
"Uh...guys..."
Kyogre looked over and saw the problem, her cheeks blushing even more in embarrassment. "Oops...sorry." Groudon smiled as Kyogre immediatly dispersed the cloud, stopping the rain. Then, giving Groudon another loving glance, she floated to the giant body of water they made.
Rachel brought Karpie and placed her (it's a girl!) into the water. As the Magikarp swam around happily, Groudon couldn't help but tease Kyogre a bit.
"A Magikarp...and I thought you hated them." he said. Kyogre took on a thoughtful smile before gently pushing him with a flipper.
"I decided that having a Magikarp around might do me some good. And I might as well get used to them." she said. Groudon nodded at her response. Rachel looked around before lowering herself to sit.
"Is this all we're doing to restore the ocean?" she asked, not believeing this to be a solution. How could this lake, though quite a few miles in diameter, compare with the ocean? Kyogre grinned at her.
"Everything you see started out small. Soon this little lake will grow into something more." After those words of wisdom, Kyogre looked at Groudon, floated over, and licked him before whispering: "Bet you can't catch me."
As the Legendaries played their game of affection, Rachel laid back, thinking on Kyogre's words. She supposed that they were right. Afterall, this was probably how the very first ocean was made. It made her feel...significant for some reason. Maybe it was because she was a lowly scientist who grew the nerve to protest against her big time employer...and won.
Something in the clouds caught her eye and she watched as the speck came closer. Sitting up, she stared at it intently, trying to identify it. Well, whatever it was, at this rate, it'll...
A little Azurill landed into the lake with a loud splash...
Feel free to speculate or even write a short story on why this baby Pokemon took so long to crash back to earth. This was a fun story, and I had lots and lots of fun writing it.
