Back at the Plateau, the Elite Four were thinking long and hard trying to come up with a plan to rescue Rosella.
Bruno said, "Based on what we know about Team Rocket, we know that their hideout is east of Viridian City and that a dirt road leads to it."
"So if we find the dirt road, we're sure to find their hideout." Agatha said.
Then Lorelei asked, "When we find their hideout what do we do then?"
"I guess we'll have top locate Rosella and dodge rocket agents at the same time." Agatha said.
"So when get inside, we'll have to play it by ear since we don't know our way around their hideout." Bruno said.
Then Lance said, "Most likely, the rockets are holding her in some sort of a jail cell."
Next Agatha spoke up and said, "Okay, so we have a plan, so let's put our plan into action."
"I agree with Agatha." Lorelei said, "Okay, so we're headed to Team Rocket's hideout, let's go!"
"Hold your horses Lorelei, I know you want to rescue Rosella as much as any of us do, but we can't rush into something like this based on old facts. We have to confirm exactly where they took her before we can go anywhere." Bruno said.
"Bruno's right, we can't rush into something like this since Rosella is counting on us to save her." Lance said.
"So for the moment we can only hope and pray that she's okay, is that what you're saying?" Lorelei asked in a quiet, shaky voice.
Lance replied, "I'm afraid so Lorelei, but there's nothing we can do to save her at this minute."
"As much as I hate to admit it, Lance is right about that." Agatha said.
Everyone except Lance stood up. Bruno turned to Lance and said, "Don't worry Lance, we'll find her and when we do we'll make Team Rocket pay."
Then they left the room.
As soon as they were gone, Lance hung his head and whispered to himself, "Rosella don't worry we'll find you. Please be alright, I don't know what I'd do if you didn't survive. We'll find you, I know it!"
After Lance said this to himself, he stood up and left the room.
