At the [[Battle Arcade]], [[Dahlia]] tells {{adv|Platinum}} about another [[Frontier Brain]] that knows more about the [[Distortion World]]. Platinum and Dahlia then look at a screen, where [[Thorton]] suddenly appears. Dahlia explains that Thorton runs the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}}. Thorton then 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 [[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. She then reveals that part of the reason she chose the Battle 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 {{adv|Looker}}, who has been gone for five hours, while she continues to challenge the facilities. The treatment of the [[Gym Leader]]s' Pokémon is also complete, so she sends them with hers to find and help Looker in any way possible.

Platinum then enters the Battle Factory, were she watches a young boy win a battle and make trade for a new Pokémon. She chooses the settings of [[Single Battle]]s at [[level]] 50, and is asked to choose three Pokémon out of six presented to her. She chooses a {{p|Loudred}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, and {{p|Grimer}} and begins her challenge. As she pits Qwilfish against a {{p|Kakuna}}, Palmer watches her battle until he is reminded that he's supposed to be investigating why communications are down. Platinum then renews her resolve to win for the sake of Looker and her Pokémon.
