When we rush into the Meteor Falls, we find Brendan in front of Team Magma, and they're facing Professor Cozmo. "Hey! You jerks! Let Professor Cozmo go!"

The man that is in front of the professor is the same fat guy that we saw in Dewford Island. He says, "Hyuh? What have we here? Why has this child suddenly appeared?"

Brendan notices us and says, "Guys! You finally made it, huh? We've gotta protect the professor from these lunatics or else!"

"And it seems like we have the number advantage." I say.

The man says, "Ahyahyahya! Isn't this amusing?! Is it really your intention to oppose me, a Team Magma Admin? Mmm... Very well then! I'll show you how terrifying adults can be! Ahyahyahya! I'm going to give you some very thorough coaching!"

Then we battle Tabitha, the Team Magma Admin, and his goons. Tabitha uses Mightyena and Numel, and both of them are defeated by our Breloom and Lombre.

"Hyuhn?! An unexpected development?!" Tabitha gasps after he's defeated.

"All right! We beat 'em!" Brendan says.

"You children! I would like you to stay out of my way! Team Magma's scientific prowess, Mt. Chimney's energy... And the hidden power of the Meteorite! If we combine them all, a super-ancient Pokémon..."

"Bwahahahahahaha! You lost to this scamp? What a pathetic bunch! You lazy stooges will be the downfall of Team Magma!" And much to our surprise, Team Aqua's boss, Archie, has made an appearance.

"Hyahya! Even Team Aqua is making an appearance! The odds do not appear to be in my favor..." Tabitha says. "You there! I'll have the Meteorite now!"

The Magma grunt then takes the Meteorite from Professor Cozmo, Brendan tries to help him, but it's too late, they get the meteorite.

"Ahyahya! The Meteorite is in the palm of my hand! Well, well, well... Adios to each and every one of you! At long last I'm off to Mt. Chimney!" Then all of Team Magma are gone from the Meteor Falls.

An Aqua Grunt says, "Archie! We will go after those monsters!"

"That's right! We're not letting them get away!" Archie says as he notices me. "Didn't I see you before? At Slateport's Museum?"

"It's Ash, you know." I say to him.

"At the time, I thought you were one of Team Magma's goons. Humph... You're one odd kid. Looks like you were getting into it with Team Magma there, 'less my eyes deceive me. It's not like I'm in a position to argue if that's what you're up to, hey? But I'll tell you this much. So remember. If you next get in the way of Team Aqua, you won't get off so lightly. So steer clear and keep your nose clean, scamp! I imagine I'll be seeing you! Waha! Bwahahahahah!"

After Team Aqua leaves, Brendan says, "Oh man... What's with those lunatics? Forget those guys! Professor! Hey! Professor Cozmo! Hang in there, OK?"

We rush to the Professor, and he mutters, "B-but... they... I... only..."

"I think he's still pretty out of it... Guys... Never mind what's happened! I've got to get the professor back to his lab in Fallarbor! OK, Professor... Easy now..." Then Brendan takes Professor Cozmo out of the cave, and we decide to explore this place before catching up to them.

After leaving Meteor Falls, we are back to Route 114 and we are heading back to Fallabor Town. Although we have no water anymore, Alice says, "I think there is a world-famous freshwater spring nearby. We can go there."

When we get into the dense forest, May and Max are spooked by a Zubat, but then we notice a Pokemon floating by. I say, "That's a Solrock!"

We try to chase after it, only to fall into the trap and Team Rocket is the one who does it. "The trap again?" I mutter.
