VS. Kyogre & Groudon I (Japanese: VS. カイオーガ & グラードン I VS. Kyogre & Groudon I) is the 233rd round of the Pokémon Adventures manga in the Ruby & Sapphire arc.
Synopsis
Ruby frantically tries to go after the runaway Mimi while the Swimmer and Wallace look on, the Swimmer shocked that Wallace is making no move to save Ruby as he struggles through the water. The Swimmer and his Gyarados save Ruby and his Pokémon just as the Contest Hall finishes crumbling around them, and Wallace chides Ruby for being the reason that Mimi ran away. Wallace points out Ruby's various failings as a trainer, including not using Mimi to challenge him in Fallarbor Town and ignoring Zuzu's warnings about the cigarette fire. Angrily, Wallace tells Ruby that he's selfish and that he'll never be the pinnacle of beauty with that kind of attitude, but the Swimmer points out that Ruby can't hear a word--he's cried himself unconscious over Mimi.
The MC from the Contest Hall gives Wallace the Hyper Rank Beauty ribbon that Ruby would have won, since Wallace's participation was just an act. Since Mimi is gone, however, Wallace holds on to the ribbon. He picks up Ruby to take him to the first-aid center and asks the Swimmer to help with the rescue efforts. In Wallace's arms, an unconscious Ruby mumbles Sorry over and over.
Deep underwater, Team Aqua and Team Magma finally reach the Seafloor Cavern in the Kaien 1 submarine, sensing Kyogre and Groudon's presence as soon as they set foot in the cave. Both teams are thrilled about being so close to reaching the object of their desire, and when they reach a fork in the road, Team Aqua and Team Magma split up, each vowing to be the one to emerge victorious. At the end of each of their respective tunnels, they encounter the slumbering Kyogre and Groudon.
Back in Slateport, Maryann and Tyler have found Captain Stern, and inform him that the team in red who stole the Kaien 1 and the team in blue who stole its heart component have joined forces to reach the Seafloor Cavern, despite appearing to be enemies. Maryann asks Stern whether there's any way they can follow them and interfere, but Stern says it's impossible. If they've really gone to the very bottom of the ocean, then there's no way to stop them!
