Back in the secret base, Arinia was still sleeping. Mark was sitting beside her, holding her hand. Mark was still worried about Arinia because he was still worried about Arinia because the medicine he had given her had taken little effect on her condition; so Mark was still worried was still afraid that Arinia was going to die. As there wasn't much he could do for her, Mark continued to sit beside her and hope and pray that she could hold on long enough for his superior to retrieve her belongings and come to the secret base with them. Mark wished that he would hurry because Arinia was in desperate need of professional care. All Mark could do was wait………

Back at Team Magma's base, Maxie was in his office concocting a plan to recapture Mark and Arinia. Maxie finally decided that he would ambush them while Mark was helping Arinia to train her pokemon. By the time Maxie had thought of that idea, it was a little past noon. Now Maxie dove into a large stack of paperwork that he had neglected when he had been keeping an eye on Mark and Arinia.
"Oh, boy……. This is gonna take a while…….." Maxie thought. Maxie began working on the stack of papers.

Meanwhile the Superior Admin was making preparations to move in at night to retrieve Arinia's belongings. He had hidden himself behind a tree, and began waiting for the sun to set so he could put his plan into action. Finally the sun had set after the admin had been waiting for over hours. When the sun had set, the Admin climbed out from behind the tree and walked to the entrance to Team Magma's base. He penetrated it, and walked through it until he came to Maxie's office. Once there, he entered it and began searching for Arinia's belongings. About 5 minutes later, the Admin found them. The Admin took her poke balls, and slid them into her backpack. The Admin also found a key on the desk, and he picked that up. He assumed that Mark's group had been captured while they had been attempting to save Arinia. So he took the key, and walked down a couple of floors to a row of jail cells. The Admin tried to open them, and if they didn't open when he tried them he used the key he had found. An hour passed before the Admin had found every member of Mark's group. The Admin dropped the key in the hall outside the cells, since he no longer had any need for it. Now the Admin and the rest of Mark's group left the base, with the thought that they would go meet back up with Mark and Arinia at their secret base.
