The chapter opens with {{adv|Platinum}} and {{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} looking at a screen, where {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} has just appeared. It then flashed back to Dahlia telling Platinum about another Frontier Brain that knows more about the [[Distortion World]]. Dahlia explains that Thorton runs the [[Battle Factory]], and he shows them a data-analyzing machine that he just made. At that moment, the reception in the communication drops to 40% and Thorton begins to cut out. Two people appear on the screen in the final moments, blaming Thorton's device for the loss of connection, and then the call cuts out. Dahlia introduces the other two that were on the screen as {{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} and {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, two other Brains. It's strange that they are with Thorton, however, as they should be at their own facilities accepting challengers at this time of day. Instead of being upset that she couldn't speak to Thorton, Platinum just resolves to battle his facility next, the [[Battle Factory]]. She then reveals that part of the reason she chose the Factory next is that the challenger is forced to use rental Pokémon instead of their own. She plans to use this to her advantage by sending her Pokémon after [[Looker]], who has been gone for five hours, while she continues to challenge the facilities. The treatment of the Gym Leaders' Pokémon is also complete, so she sends them with hers to find and help Looker in any way possible.

At that moment, the reception in the communication drops to 40% and Thorton begins to cut out. Two people appear on the screen in the final moments, blaming Thorton's device for the loss of connection, and then the call cuts out. Dahlia introduces the other two that were on the screen as Argenta and Palmer, two other Frontier Brains. Dahlia then notes that its strange that they are with Thorton since they should be at their own facilities accepting challengers at this time of day. Instead of being upset that she couldn't speak to Thorton, Platinum just resolves to battle his facility next, the Battle Factory.
