The extreme weather from the eastern seas began to affect the entire continent.
Across the Hoenn Region, the Western Continent remained largely unaffected for now because of its distance.
But the entire Eastern Continent, including every island out at sea, was blanketed in dark clouds and torrential rain with Kyogre's arrival!
Massive tides surged inland through countless river mouths, sending seawater flooding upstream!
Waves several meters-or even tens of meters-high swept away buildings and facilities, capsizing the ships moored in harbors...
