Chapter 17

"Not If I Can Help It!

Things seemed to be looking pretty grim for Rosella, but something Archie hadn't counted on came into play.  We were near the edge of town, where there were many hills and many places to hide.  What Archie didn't know was that several members of Team Magma were hiding behind these hills.  And when a Team Magma grunt saw Archie dragging me out of the town, he ran to tell his boss.  Maxie was sitting on a small rock waiting for something unforeseen to happen, when the grunt ran over to him.

The grunt exclaimed, "Boss!"

"Yes, what is it?"  Maxie asked sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Sorry to bother you, but I thought that you might want to know that I just saw Archie and he was dragging a young girl named Rosella off to their hideout."

That got Maxie's attention.

"He's what!?!  Oh, he won't be for long!  Come on, let's stop him!"

And with that, Maxie and the grunt ran to stop Archie from getting away with Rosella.
