When Doom and Maple arrive at the Pokémon center and peer in, they don't see Catherine anywhere.
"Are you sure she is here? I can't detect her presence!" Doom growls.
"I was so sure of it... She was injured. Maybe she's being healed right now?" Maple suggests.
"Guess I'll break in," Doom says.
Maple jumps in surprise as Doom rams the glass door with her horns, causing glass shards to litter the Pokémon Center Floor. Doom casually steps through the hole she created and then recovers her head with her hood.
"Oh star-bearer...? Are you still here?" Doom calls out.
Maple shrieks and rolls in the glass shards.
"Don't do that," Doom grumbles.
"Okay..." Maple says and picks herself out of the glass shards.
"Hello? Who's there?" Nurse Joy calls out.
She looks over and sees the Houndoom.
"Oh my! What in Hoenn is going on here?!" Nurse Joy asks.
"Stand back, I'm seeking the one who bears a star on her belly," Doom growls.
Nurse Joy cannot understand what Doom is saying, but backs up anyways.
"Hey, found something!" Maple says, holding up a small piece of paper.
Doom abandons Nurse Joy and bounds over to Maple.
"Show me!" Doom snarls.
Maple holds up the paper and Doom reads it.
"In case anyone cared, I've gone to find Kyogre. Good luck with Groudon until then. Signed, Catherine," Doom reads out.
"Uh oh..." Maple says.
Doom turns on Maple, snarling.
"SHE ISN'T HERE, THEN!" Doom cries out.
"Okay, well, eat me!" Maple says, grinning.
Doom sits down and snorts.
"You're a weird Pikachu, you know that?" Doom asks.
"Sorry about that. Say, what was the reward going to be anyways?" Maple asks.
"Not telling you," Doom grumbles.
"Guess I'll just head back to my friend group. If I see Catherine, I'll let you know," Maple says.
"If you weren't so willing to be eaten, I probably would have eaten you," Doom grumbles and walks away.
"Oh! Well! Then! Don't eat me!" Maple shrieks.
"Too late! I already know you're willing!" Doom says.
She hops back out the hole she made in the window and runs off.
"Ah, dang... Maple 2 is going to hate me forever... She might even change her name!" Maple says and sighs.
The ground shudders ominously and a shriek is heard. A shriek so loud that the glass shatters.
"Oh, that must be Groudon! Dang! I'm in so much trouble..." Maple says and climbs out the broken window.
When Maple finally meets up with her friends, she realizes that Maple 2 is missing!
"Guys? Where is Maple 2?" Maple asks.
"Well... She kind of ran ahead to find Catherine to warn her that a Houndoom is on her trail..." Universe says.
