Rayquaza, I Choose You!

In the conventional understanding, both land and sea lay beneath the sky's embrace, so Rayquaza's sky was inherently more formidable than Groudon's earth and Kyogre's ocean.

Rayquaza stopping Groudon and Kyogre's battle was also the sky suppressing the earth and sea.

But to the true Rayquaza—

Groudon and Kyogre's conflict was merely childish squabbling.

At Mark's continued questioning, Rayquaza gave another answer.

As for why it had landed on the planet's surface now—

Strictly speaking, this was Groudon's territory, and it should not have landed here casually, or Groudon
