The Divergence
(also known as "The Great Destruction" or "Ookii Kujo") is a cataclysmic event which
occurred several hundred years into the
Pokémopolis era. Prior to this,
the majority of the
world's regions had been linked together into one unified pangean
continent. Its unforeseen split was
caused by the appearance of and consequential battle between the
recently-created
Groudon and
Kyogre.
The event was considered so defining to
Ocian history that its timeline is set by it. The acronyms BD and FD are
placed after year dates to define whether they represented the time
before, or following the Divergence.
The Divergence is closely linked with two,
more localized, events:
The Winds of
Water
A period in time in south
Kanto
when Kyogre's out of control abilities caused storms so fierce, the wind
itself carried enough water at high speeds to dash the surrounding
landscape to pieces. The mass loss of life horrified the surviving Pokémon
so deeply, that they managed to transfer a little of their
Aura
through their tears. This managed to revive a number of humans that had
been injured.
The Rain of
Fire
Similarly, a bout of searing heat that turned
Orre to desert was the consequence of Groudon's
overwhelming power.
