After getting frustrated from being unable to find a missing document, Roseanne went outside to calm herself down. As she exited the building, Roseanne found a swarm ofYanmega waiting outside.
The Yanmega begun rushing inside the building while Roseanne fled due to her fear ofBug-type Pokémon. Due to the sound caused by the flapping of the Yanmega's wings, Roseanne's voice was drowned out, preventing her from calling for help. She used the laboratory's lights to send a message for help, which alertedDiamond andSebastian to come to her aid.
