"A Treasure Too Valuable To Lose"
Rosella was completely out of it, but something would soon come to pass that would result in her rescue. Maxie sent an undercover Magma grunt to Team Aqua's base to spy on them, and to find out what their plans were. He was dressed in a boy's uniform that sported the Team Aqua colors. He entered the base and found some other grunts.
He asked, "What's going on?"
The grunts replied, "Not much. The boss brought in a little girl prisoner a little while ago. I believe her name was Rosella."
Now an Admin, who had assisted in Rosella's kidnapping and torture walked in the room, and he overheard their conversation.
Then he said, "The girl that was brought in is named Rosella. She was put to sleep by Archie with a sleep potion to keep her out of our way. Until such time, when the boss finds it fit to release her."
The disguised Magma grunt thought, "Oh, no. Poor Rosella. I've got to tell Maxie that she's being held captive."
Then the disguised Magma grunt said, "I assume she's in a cell her, awaiting her next use by the boss."
"You got that right. She was knocked out with a potion that put her into a deep sleep, and the only way to awaken her is to pour the curative potion, the boss has, down her throat. So pretty much, she's completely at out mercy." The Admin said. "Now get back to work, all of you, and don't let me catch you wasting precious time again."
Now the Admin left, and the grunt got back to work. The undercover Magma grunt now left the room they were in, and exited the base to go tell Maxie about what he had learned. The grunt ran all the way back to the Fiery Path, and went inside it and activated the buttons that would cause the hidden panel to slide open, revealing the entrance. The grunt ran inside, and the panel closed behind him. The grunt ran to Maxie's quarters. Since that would be where he would be at this time of day. (It was now evening) When the grunt reached the door to Maxie's quarters, he knocked.
"Come in." Maxie's voice said.
The grunt opened the door, and entered.
"Oh, Josh. What news do you have?" Maxie asked.
"They weren't discussing much, but I found out one important thing regarding a prisoner they had." Josh said.
"What exactly did they say, and who is the prisoner?" Maxie asked.
"They said that she was captured earlier today, and….." Maxie cut him off.
"She? Their prisoner's a girl?" Maxie said surprised.
"Continue." Maxie said.
"Well anyway, they said that this girl's name was…….." Josh paused.
"Go on, what's her name?" Maxie asked.
"Her name's, Rosella." Josh replied sadly.
Maxie jumped.
"No! They can't have gotten her again!" Maxie exclaimed.
Maxie jumped to his feet.
"Go gather the rest of the grunts and meet me at the entrance. I'll get the Admins." Maxie said.
"Yes, sir." Josh said.
Now they both exited the room and Maxie went one way to get the Admins, and Josh went the other way to get the grunts. Then they met back up at the entrance.
"Listen up, here's the plan. This objective is a rescue mission. We are going to Team Aqua's base to save Rosella from them because they are holding her captive according to Josh. Let's move out." Maxie told them.
Now the whole group left the base, and headed towards Lilycove to save Rosella.
