==Synopsis==
==Plot==
Before they leave [[Mirage Island]], {{adv|Sapphire}} confesses her feelings to a stunned {{adv|Ruby}} just as [[Juan]] signals for them to take off. Juan informs Ruby that he, along with [[Tate & Liza]], will be remaining on the island to monitor their return to the real world outside of Mirage Island's time flow. Riding her Tropius, Sapphire reveals to Ruby that given the short amount of time they have left, she was afraid that Ruby would leave as he had [[PS228|said]] so before she told him how she felt. Sapphire reveals that years ago, she fell in love with a boy she had met and defended her from a {{p|Salamence}} (causing Ruby to realise that Sapphire was the girl he [[PS252|met]] years ago), and that she made a promise with him to get stronger - based on news she had heard from [[Professor Birch]] about {{adv|Red}}, who won the Pokémon League tournament at the age of 11. Sapphire also explains that when she [[PS181|met]] Ruby near [[Littleroot Town]], it was 80 days before her birthday and she was concerned that she was running out of time to keep her promise to her childhood crush - so she had made the 80-day bet with Ruby out of impulse. Eventually, though, Sapphire fell in love with Ruby, having come to admire his inner strength and the way he cares for Pokémon, and she hopes that Ruby can return to Littleroot with her after the crisis is resolved.
{{spoilers}}
As they prepare to leave {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, {{adv|Sapphire}} confesses to {{adv|Ruby}} that she likes him. Ruby, stunned, is too shocked to come up with a response. Before they can continue, [[Juan]]'s {{p|Kingdra}} gives the signal that tells them that it's time to leave. Jumping on top of Sapphire's {{p|Tropius|Troppy}}, Ruby and Sapphire take off of Mirage Island. Juan calls Ruby and tells him that he, [[Tate and Liza|Tate, and Liza]], will be staying on the island to monitor their safe exit off the island.


Back at Mirage Island, Juan realises that the synchronisation of time fields between the island and the real world have unstabilised, and warns Ruby and Sapphire to be careful. Shortly after, the Trainers breach into the real world, appearing as though out of nowhere, surprising [[Wallace]] and [[Steven]]. Ruby asks Sapphire to force the Blue Orb out of her body, and summons Wallace's aircar remotely via his Pokégear. To Sapphire's horror, Ruby takes the Blue Orb and pushes her, Plusle and Minun into mid-air, catching them in Wallace's aircar and locking them inside. Sapphire, distraught, begs Ruby to let her out, but Ruby says that now that he knows of Sapphire's feelings for him, he can't afford to bring her to the final battle - because he loves her too. Taking off his hat, Ruby reveals the scar he received during his childhood to Sapphire; Sapphire realises that Ruby and the childhood playmate she had a crush on are one and the same. Turning to his new partner, [[Magma Admin Courtney]], Ruby rides Sapphire's Tropius into the fray with both Orbs in his hands. At the same time, [[Norman]] continues to head for [[Sootopolis City]] on {{p|Rayquaza}}.
Sapphire apologizes to Ruby about confessing to him at such a time, but points out that if she hadn't Ruby would have gone back to [[Johto]] before she could do so. Sapphire reveals that years ago, she met a boy that she really liked who had defended her from a wild {{p|Salamence}} attack. Hearing this causes Ruby to realize that Sapphire was the girl he met when he was younger. Sapphire describes the boy as the person who inspired her to become stronger and beat the Pokémon League before she turns eleven, just like {{adv|Red}} was when he beat it. But, as Sapphire continued to help her father in his field work, time passed and she realized that she would turn eleven soon.
 
Sapphire reveals that when she met Ruby again, it was only 80 days before her birthday, which is why she created the bet with him. Sapphire states that she is glad she made the bet, as it allowed her to get to know Ruby more, which eventually caused her to start liking him. Sapphire finishes her explanation, and asks if Ruby will stay in [[Hoenn]] and come back to [[Littleroot Town]] with her.
 
Back on Mirage Island, Tate notices that the passage of time is becoming unstable again, like back when Ruby and Sapphire had first arrived on the island. Juan tells Ruby to not go against the flow of time. As Ruby and Sapphire struggle against the flow of time, they eventually exit and arrive near [[Sootopolis City]]. Ruby has Sapphire push the [[Colored orbs|Blue Orb]] out of her body and summons [[Wallace]]'s aircar with his [[Pokégear]].
 
Ruby immediately pushes Sapphire, {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}}, and {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} off of Troppy and onto the aircar. Locked inside, Sapphire demands to know what Ruby is doing. Ruby removes his hat and admits that he likes Sapphire too, which is why he can't let her fight with him. Sapphire realizes that Ruby was the boy she met years ago. A voice appears, and asks if Ruby is finished.
 
The voice is revealed to be {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}, who had come to help. Ruby, with both Orbs in hand, flies on Troppy towards {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} with Courtney. Elsewhere, [[Norman]] heads towards Sootopolis City whilst riding on top of {{p|Rayquaza}}.
 
The counter of the bet continues at three days.

Before they can continue, Juan's Kingdra gives the signal that tells them that it's time to leave. Jumping on top of Sapphire's Troppy, Ruby and Sapphire take off of Mirage Island. Juan calls Ruby and tells him that he, Tate, and Liza, will be staying on the island to monitor their safe exit off the island.

Sapphire apologizes to Ruby about confessing to him at such a time, but points out that if she hadn't Ruby would have gone back to Johto before she could do so.
