"WHAT?!" Dark yells, not making out what Maddy had said."WE SHOULD LOOK AROUND FOR A CABIN OR SOMETHING WHERE THE CARETAKERS WOULD STAY! THIS WEATHER IS CRAZY!"
He was starting to feel really cold now without his coat. His inner ears were hurting from the cold wind and he was losing feeling in his hands and feet.

"Cecil!!" Allen cried, but he couldn't be heard, in fact Cecil was barely able to keep with them, being kept behind by the wind, and not being able to anchor himself to the ground made it difficult to move forward.

Maddy suddenly found herself walking face first right into the side of a sturdy log cabin. She grabbed the other two Aquans before they could wander off and get lost and showed them the cabin.
"Let's find an entrance!" She shouted over the storm. Even with Dark's coat and her two Fire Pokemon in her grasp, the cold was still unbearable.

Dark finds the door and quickly opens it, spotting a fire place that's currently in use.
"Sorry for barging in!" Dark shouts as he runs to the fireplace after taking his shoes off.

Allen spreads around the side, feeling around, finally finding the already open door, he reached for Maddy pulling her into the house. Cecil finally followed in, sighing and letting Allen close the door. He quickly returned his Pokemon, sighing his relief and nearly collapsing in place.

In the house, they found a blazing fire (Dark was pretty quick to get to it) and the elderly couple sitting at a small table, sipping tea. They didn't seem surprised to see them. Perhaps they were used to visitors, but maybe they knew that either Team Aqua or Magma would return for info on the Green Orb.
The woman nodded to her husband, who left the table and walked off to another room.
"Please, sit down by the fire. Help yourself to some tea." She told them.
"Thank you." Maddy said, sitting down by the fire to bask in it's warmth. She set Dark's coat in front of the blaze to help dry it off. She also helped herself to a cup of tea, enjoying the feeling of the hot liquid running down her throat.

After becoming sufficiently warm, Dark leaves the fire to get a cup of tea and returns.
"Really sorry about barging in." Dark speaks up before taking a sip of tea.

Allen steps over to the fire, holding his hands up to it, loving the warmth it provided. The tea would be welcome once he was thoroughly warmed.

By the time everyone was settled in, the old man had returned with a pile of clothes. Setting the pile on the table, he unwrapped it to reveal the Green Orb.
The elderly woman looked over the three Aquans.
"This is what you've come for, yes?"
Maddy nodded. "Yes."
"You saved us that day when Team Magma broke into our shrine and stole the Red Orb." She began. "You try and act like hardened criminals, but you saved us anyway."
Maddy frowned. "Don't forget. We also stole from you. The Blue Orb."
The old woman nodded. "Yes, but I knew you would be back someday."

Dark stands up and walks over to the couple.
"You're just going to hand it over? If this third Pokemon can truly stop the other two, whose to say we won't try and capture it?"
Dark crosses his arms, not sure about the situation.
"Do you two know anything about this mysterious third legendary?"

Allen moves to make himself a cup of tea, still listening intently to the conversation. When the fact that Aqua saved the couple had been brought up, Allen thought back, not exactly remembering the situation like that.

The woman turned to Dark.
"The Pokemon you speak of is a giant sky dragon by the name of Rayquaza."
She went quiet for a moment to let the name echo in their heads.
"When the Green Orb is set in it's pedestal at the top of the Sky Pillar, Rayquaza will come forth from the heavens above and cease the fighting between the Legendary Pokemon of the Land and Sea."
Maddy drew a blank.
"Sky Pillar..." The location had appeared a few times during her research. She hadn't thought to figure out where exactly it is.
The elderly woman let out a sigh.
"The tower isn't nearly as glorious as it used to be. It protrudes from the ocean near the town of Pacifidlog. Most people just pass it off as a crumbling wreck, but alas, it is the only point on this Earth where Rayquaza can be called upon."

"Rayquaza... huh.." He had come across a sky dragon in his research but had passed it off as metaphor. "I know where Sky Pillar is though."
He turns to his two teammates.
"So I guess that's where we go next." He fiddles with the pokeballs on his belt. They may have been able to take one legendary, but if this third one goes berserk the world would never be the same.

Allen sighed, thinking about how Kyogre and Groudon ended up. He shook his head, looking to the elderly couple, "Are there any further descriptions or details of Rayquaza? We need to know what we're doing in summoning another legendary Pokemon, to quell two other legends. If we mess this up..." He trails off, "I mean... It's not like we can just look this up on an internet search."

"I only know of Rayquaza needing to be summoned once before. It was hundreds of years ago, but immediately upon being summoned it went straight to work on dealing with the other two. Once the job was done, it would settle down at the top of Sky Pillar to keep an eye on the other two Pokemon." The woman explained.
"However, that was a different time. Using a powerful sorcery of a method that has long been forgotten by this world, Kyogre and Groudon were sealed into their respective caves. Their power was stored in the Blue and Red Orbs and placed at the shrine atop this mountain. My family has looked after this shrine for generations."
"So... When the Blue and Red Orbs were brought back to the caves, the power seeped from them and resulted in the two Legends waking up?" Maddy found this whole story very intriguing. "Archie and Maxie are meddling with something much deeper than they know, it seems."
The elderly woman nodded. "You are correct."
She picked the Green Orb up off the table and placed it in Maddy's hands.
"There is no longer a means to turn the two into stone as there once was, but once Rayquaza is summoned, he will remain at Sky Pillar to keep the two from fighting ever again. The only thing I ask of you is that you return the Blue and Red Orbs to their rightful place once this business is done."
Maddy took the Green Orb into her grasp and stared at the round object. It was oddly light for an object of it's size, but she could practically feel the power emanating from it. "I have no objection to that."
