==Synopsis==
Mt. Pyre is attacked for its ancient relics.
==Summary==
Justin, Rachel, and Summer are ready to leave Mt. Pyre after meeting Hoenn Elite Four Phoebe, but cannot leave when Team Aqua surge the mountain. 
Justin, Rachel and Summer defend the mountain and they are halted by Aqua Admins Shelly and Matt. The three of them soon meet Team Aqua Leader Archie for the first time, and the man calls out his Sharpedo to battle Justin's Plusle and Eevee. 
More fighting breaks out but this time between Team Aqua and Team Magma, who arrive for the Red Orb. Maxie and Archie agree to a temproary truce to overhwelm Justin and Rachel's Pokemon. They are stopped from calling their other Pokemon as well. Summer has more Pokemon to call but a stray attack from Matt's Azumarill and Shelly's Ludicolo causes her to badly injure her leg.
Archie's Tentacruel constricts Justin and Rachel horribly to stop them from calling their other Pokemon. Maxie and Archie turn their attention to the Red and Blue orbs, which they both soon realize are fake. Maxie has his small army of Houndoom threaten Phoebe's grandparents for the location of the real orbs.
The Shuppet, Skitty had befriended emerges to distract Tentacruel and free Justin and Rachel, but he is badly beaten too. Soon, Latios and Latias suddenly emerge. Latios unleashes a Luster Purge to separate the villanous leaders from Justin and Rachel. Maxie and Archie are amused and plan to capture the Eon Duo if as a minor replacement for the red and blue orbs. 
The Eon Duo battle in Justin and Rachel's defense while the companions help an injured Summer to her feet and collect their defeated Pokemon. Phoebe returns with her Dusknoir, defeating multiple Team Aqua and Magma Grunts at once. Phoebe reveals she had returned when she and Drifblim sensed the a disturbance among the spirits and Ghost Pokemon. 
It is also revealed Phoebe was entrusted by her grandparents to be the guardian of the Red and Blue orbs. She is most suited as one of the strongest trainers in all of Hoenn. She keeps them attached to her anklets. The leaders prepare to battle Phoebe for the relics, but Phoebe forfeits the Red and Blue Orbs to Maxie and Archie provided they stop fighting and destroying the graves on the mountain. Phoebe argues she could defeat them, but it would come at the cost of a lot of destruction and endangering Justin and his friends further. 
Phoebe has Drifblim pass over the orbs, which satisfy the two leaders who leave peacefully but promise their next encounter with the other will not end peacefully. Teams Aqua and Magma march off the premise. Once Justin and Rachel ar safe, Latios and Latias disappear into the skies.
Phoebe rushes to her grandparents who are rattled but uninjured. Summer, however, needs medical attention. Phoebe offers to fly her to Lilycove City with Drifblim for medical attention. Summer accepts. Before they leave, Phoebe tells Justin and Rachel to be safe, and she will need to report the developments to Champion Steven. 
Justin and Rachel are ready to leave Mt. Pyre immediately but stay to help the elderly couple repair some of the damages done to the graves. Rachel also tends to Shuppet who was injured defending her. She treats it with a Pecha Berry and some potions. After some deliberation, Rachel invites Shuppet to join her, and the Ghost-Type embraces capture. Rachel supposes Shuppet is the only positive outcome the day's events
