Ruby & Sapphire arc
The awakening of Kyogre is the dream of Team Aqua, who wish to use its great power to fulfill their ultimate goal of expanding the sea.
After having multiple clashes with one another, Team Aqua and Team Magma formed a temporary alliance so that they may work together in order to reach the Seafloor Cavern, where Kyogre and Groudon rest. After arriving at their destination via the Submarine Explorer 1, both teams end their truce and split up to find the chamber where their respective super-ancient Pokémon rested. Team Aqua manages to find Kyogre and awaken it before Team Magma does the same with Groudon. Kyogre then rises to the surface and emerges in Route 108, where it proceeds to begin wreaking havoc.
Later, Kyogre suddenly stops causing destruction while Groudon continues advancing, much to Archie's confusion. Believing Team Magma to be responsible, Archie sends Amber out to investigate. Amber discovers that Team Magma are in possession of two Orbs that are capable of controlling Kyogre and Groudon. Amber finds Kyogre's Orb, the Blue Orb, in the possession of Tabitha. After battling Tabitha, Amber manages to obtain the Blue Orb for Archie, who proceeds to use it to take control of Kyogre.
When the Pokémon Association learns of Kyogre and Groudon's awakening, the Gym Leaders of Hoenn are dispatched to try and fight the super-ancient Pokémon. Flannery, Wattson, and Winona are paired up against Kyogre, but are unable to much against its defenses despite having a type-advantage. They are further impaired by Team Aqua's Subleaders of the Sea Scheme, who each fight the Gym Leaders in order to let Kyogre advance without any further obstacles. Only one of the Subleaders manage to defeat the Gym Leaders, but they managed to stall long enough for Kyogre to escape.
Due to using the Orbs too much, Archie and Maxie are eventually overwhelmed by Kyogre and Groudon's power and are instead controlled by the super-ancient Pokémon instead of the other way around. Ruby and Sapphire attempt to battle the two leaders and retrieve the Orbs, but are unable to do so before they are absorbed into Archie and Maxie's bodies. With Kyogre and Groudon's power now surging inside of them, Archie and Maxie take every single person inside the Seafloor Cavern back to the surface and proceed to fly towards Sootopolis City, where Kyogre and Groudon plan to continue their age-old clash.
Upon arriving at their destination, Archie and Kyogre begin battling against Maxie and Groudon. The clash between the super-ancient Pokémon causes destructive energy to begin spreading out. With the power of the Grand Meteor and their Pokémon, Ruby and Sapphire force the Orbs out of Archie and Maxie's bodies. The act causes a giant explosion to engulf the entirety of Sootopolis City and send Ruby and Sapphire flying. The two Pokédex holders end up on Mirage Island, where they learn that the Red and Blue Orbs have been transferred into their bodies. As they stay on the island, Ruby and Sapphire train with Juan in order to learn how to use the Orbs without losing control of themselves. While they train, the Hoenn Elite Four, Wallace, and Steven Stone use the power of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel to keep the power exerted by Kyogre and Groudon's clash contained before it spreads throughout Hoenn.
After finishing their training, Ruby and Sapphire leave Mirage Island and return to Sootopolis. Due to worrying that Sapphire may suffer the same fate as Archie and Maxie, Ruby locks Sapphire in Wallace's aircar and hands the Blue Orb to Courtney. Ruby and Courtney use the Orbs to control Kyogre and Groudon, but due to a lack of training and interference from elsewhere, Courtney is eventually killed by the falling rubble of the Cave of Origin. Before succumbing to her wounds, Courtney tells Ruby that his father, Norman is coming with Rayquaza to stop the fighting.
After Norman arrives with Rayquaza, Ruby takes both Orbs and joins his father on top of the Sky High Pokémon. With Rayquaza's roar and the Red and Blue Orbs, Ruby and Norman defeat Kyogre and Groudon. With the battle over, Kyogre heads back to the Seafloor Cavern and to continue its slumber.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
In the thirteenth chapter, Blaise revealed to Amber that someone is bringing the Orbs to the Hoenn region. In the hopes that it may be their leaders with the Orbs, Blaise and Amber sought to revive Kyogre and Groudon. After searching, Blaise and Amber found Hoopa, a Mythical Pokémon capable of transporting anything with its rings. By using his illusions, Blaise manipulates Hoopa into transporting Kyogre and Groudon from their resting places. The two super-ancient Pokémon proceed to move out to where the Orbs are being taken to with Blaise and Amber following after them.
When Kyogre and Groudon reach their destination, Blaise and Amber find that Archie and Maxie have returned. Archie and Maxie use the Orbs to revert Kyogre and Groudon into their Primal forms. With their new power, Archie and Maxie easily defeat Red and Green, who were trying to take the Orbs back. Ruby and Emerald also attempt to stop Archie and Maxie, but are easily defeated by a combined attack.
Later, Kyogre trains with Archie at the Meteor Village in order to learn Origin Pulse so that it may be used to stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy Hoenn.

The awakening of Groudon is the dream of Team Magma, who wish to use its great power to fulfill their ultimate goal of expanding the land.
After having multiple clashes with one another, Team Magma and Team Magma formed a temporary alliance so that they may work together in order to reach the Seafloor Cavern, where Groudon and Kyogre rest. After arriving at their destination via the Submarine Explorer 1, both teams end their truce and split up to find the chamber where their respective super-ancient Pokémon rested. Team Magma manages to find Groudon, but are unable to awaken it until after Team Aqua awakens Kyogre first. Despite this, Maxie uses the Red and Blue Orbs to control both Pokémon. By using the Blue Orb, Maxie has Kyogre stop its advance while making Groudon continue causing havoc. The strain of controlling both Orbs at once proves to be too much for Maxie, who gives the Blue Orb to Tabitha. When Archie learns of this, he has Amber take the Blue Orb so that he may gain control over Kyogre.
When the Pokémon Association learns of Kyogre and Groudon's awakening, the Gym Leaders of Hoenn are dispatched to try and fight the super-ancient Pokémon. Roxanne, Brawly, and Wallace are paired up against Groudon, but are outmatched by its power. Roxanne manages to stop Groudon from moving by having her Nosepass use Block on it. They are further impaired by Team Magma's Three Fires, who each fight the Gym Leaders in order to free Groudon from the Block. Only one of the Fires manages to win, but it frees Groudon and allows it to continue moving.

Ruby & Sapphire arc
Five years prior to the fourth chapter, Rayquaza was captured by the Pokémon Association in hopes of controlling it and prevent any disaster that may come if Kyogre and Groudon were awakened. They did so by attempting to create an artificial Green Orb, since Rayquaza did not have an Orb like its two counterparts did. The plans were destroyed when a wild Salamence came crashing into their research facility, destroying everything, injuring the scientists, and freeing Rayquaza back into the wild. When Norman found the Salamence, he realized that it was injured in a previous battle with Ruby. Norman kept this information hidden from the Association in order to protect his son. As punishment for not telling them anything, the Association barred Norman from taking the test to become a Gym Leader for five years and forced him to find where Rayquaza went to.
Five years later, Norman managed to track Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar, where the Sky High Pokémon made its place of slumber. With the assistance of Wally, Norman managed to awaken Rayquaza and set off to Sootopolis City. Upon arriving, Norman and Ruby teamed up to stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon. With the Red and Blue Orbs and Rayquaza's roar, Ruby forced Kyogre and Groudon to stop fighting and instead return to their slumber. After Kyogre and Groudon left, Rayquaza angrily lashed out at its controllers and fled to the skies. Due to the strain of controlling Rayquaza without an Orb, Norman was left in a weakened state. As he lays dying, Norman reveals to Ruby the truth of what happened five years ago before eventually dying. Norman is later revived due to the time travel powers of Ruby's Celebi.
