Chapter Plot
Sapphire tries to find Steven, wondering where he went to. She decides to continue with her quest, hoping Steven will be on the way while she challenges the Gyms. She reads the signpost saying Mauville City and wonders where the Gym is. She steps on something and notices the ground being slightly different. She hits the ground and falls down through a hole. She hangs on the leaves and manages to get up, landing on her butt. Sapphire soon encounters a robot, which attacks her. She, Chic and Rono escape, as more robots appear. She climbs a tree, which is one giant robot. The robot puts her and her Pokémon in a cart, which goes off and launches them all into a cage.

Two men cheer, as they caught Donphan. However, they see they caught a girl, while Donphan rages on. The men apologise and introduce themselves as Wattson and the Trick Master, who wanted to catch that Donphan. Sapphire is tired, for she almost fell down and was a victim of a trap. Wattson and Trick Master hear of this hole and see it is not their trap, but a part of New Mauville. Sapphire is surprised to hear of an underground city, while Wattson remarks it was near them all this time, they think it was far as they never thought of it, displeasing Sapphire.
