Liam charged ahead while his friends kept the rest of Magma busy. He found Maxie ahead. Maxie figured that the others must have distracted Tabitha to let Liam get to him, pegging Shiranui specifically as the culprit. He called out a Mightyena. Liam sent out Blissey, who one shotted Mightyena with a single Focus Blast. Maxie next used a Crobat, who was knocked out by Sylveon. Maxie decided  to show Liam his Mega Evolution. Maxie got a message on his comm piece.
 "What's that?" He asked. He paused for the other person to speak. "You found a new lead on the orb? Excellent! We will Rendezvous and investigate." He turned to Liam. "We will meet again." He than ran jumped off the cliff. Liam ran to the edge only to see a Magma copter to rise up with him in it and take off. Other Magma copters followed suit. 
 Archie ran up and saw Liam. 
 "It's you." He said menacingly. "Where did Maxie go?"
 "Even [i]if[/i] I knew, why would I tell you?" Liam inquired.
 "Don't mouth off to me boy!" Archie sneered. He must have found a new lead on the orb."
 "Halt!" Called a voice. Liam and Archie looked toward it source. It was Looker charging forward. "In the name of the International Police, you are under arrest!" A Team Aqua copter rose up and Maxie hopped on and it took off.
