After returning his Seadra to its Pokeball, Jace slowly gets up. "No worries. I should be fine," he said. Whether or not he would actually be fine was yet to be seen, but for now he was still standing.
"I look forward to the challenge," Jace says to Rime. "But for now I am going to need to meet with my team. We will need to prepare for the mission." Jace was going to do what he should have done ages ago: train his teammate's pokemon. With just an hour he could give them a massive power boost.

Rime makes Jace promise on that challenge. She also encourages him and Tully to pester Jeremiah for some walking around money tomorrow. "Then I'll leave the rest of the day to you. See you both tomorrow, good luck." Rime and Mera walk uphill, back to the Dragon Palace. Jace and Tully can somewhat overhear them.
"He's the type of guy that doesn't put the I in team, huh." "...Unfortunately-"

"She's right Tully, we should see if we can't get anything out of Jeremiah," Jace said as he watched them go. "On the way I can tell you what I have in mind."
Jace was hoping to further augment his pokemon's abilities. To that end he was hoping to get a Dragon Scale from Jeremiah. After that he would see if he could find some TMs or a tutor. There was so much to be done and so little time to do it.

A new morning has come!...
The canvas of the sky is a pure, deep blue with a temperature where it's neither too hot or cold. Regrettably, Jace and Tully aren't able to witness it right now. The two awake from their steel framed, memory foamed, queen sized beds. Today is the day that Mew enters this world. A few hours before everything is decided on whether it is captured or not.
The two are treated to a generous meal of your choice by Swalot and the Chef, it's pretty good, but it has room to improve when compared to another city's cuisine. All the regular people are present in the dining hall, minus Jack, Sana and Felicia.

"Damn it, where's Sana?" Jace said tapping the table. "We're running out of time. If she wants her pokemon to be trained she's going to have to get here soon." Worst case scenario Jace could just train all of Tully's pokemon, but he'd rather distribute the benefits to everyone on the team.
At the same time, Jace was trying to figure out what to do with Seadra. Right now he was considering trying to get his hands on a Rare Candy to put him over the edge and evolve into a Kingdra. The Dragon typing that he would get would likely prove invaluable in the upcoming battle. Maybe he was stressing out about this too much. Seadra was a strong pokemon, probably one of his strongest. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't evolve.
There was still the other thing on his to-do list. Jace walked over to where Jeremiah was sitting. He tried to be discreet about it, but in a dining room it was kind of hard to do anything without being noticed. "I was told to get some spending money from you," he said to the Dragon-type gym leader. Hopefully it would be enough to buy some of the things that Jace needed.

Just outside the dining room, Sana's panic shout can be heard closer and closer. "I'm sorry for being late!" She spent almost all her time yesterday training her Pokemon, helping with household chores, praying for Diancie's blessing, making Cleansing Tags and reading ghost esoterica that she fell asleep in midnight. She bursts out from her apartment with a piece of toasted bread still dangling from her mouth. Still dressed in her white one piece.
And then, she accidentally tripped and fall onto the floor.

Tully rolls his eyes a little, but says nothing - he's waiting for the results from Jeremiah, as there are a few things he'd like to do. In fact, oddly enough, one line of thought is similar to Jace's - getting a Razor Claw for Otto. It wouldn't be as much of a leap forward as a Kingdra would be, of course, but he's been reading up and the evolution would let him do... interesting things.

Some unnamed members starts snickering at Sana's entry. "This is the girl those guys talked up like a secret weapon?" is said the food line, among other words.
The crowd's smile fade faster as Natasha approaches her prone body. She hovers over Sana in displeasure, but picks her up by the with one arm.
"Watch your step, Fräulein. Floors are waxed every month. Those boys are waiting for you, don't be selfish." The crowd's anxiety softens.
Jeremiah ignores Jace and Tully's plead as he grips his sides in pain. "*snicker* Yo did you see that!? She just broke her front teeth HAHAHAAHA! ...Money huh, your parents don't give you guys an allowance? I guess I can spot you one last time. Here's walking around money, ya dig?"
Received $15,000 Pokedollars
"Go broke, we don't have much time."

Before Natasha sends Sana off to her friends, she is reminded why she approached in the first place. "Here is the map Tastumaki created. Aussehen, they will have the high ground." She takes the time to explain the terrain and the measurements of the obelisk Mew will appear on.

Sana was certainly not prepared for getting carried with a single arm. She looks back in surprise and soon Sana is back on her feet, her body stiffens a little when she sees Natasha. "Thank you." Sana still gives her appreciation, then takes the map from Natasha, listening closely to her explanation.
The magical girl persona reawakens and looks at Tully, then Jace, waiting for their opinion, and suggests one. "Yes It's shoppin' time, wanna get brand new healing items and TMs!"

Before the group decides on where they want to go Rime approaches Jace and company. "Good morning. I hope your hands have recovered from yesterday."
"His hands?" Kuki, standing next to the group of four, expresses a bit too loudly. She turns further away and continues her conversation with Yozora and Pelipper.
"I overheard that while you were participating in the gym challenge you were attacked before you can cash in your credits for the gym badge. Is that true?"

"Yeah," Jace said, rubbing his hands. As for the credits he had earned, he was going to use his winnings to pay for his long wish-list of TMs. However, thanks to a charitable donation from Jeremiah, he was pretty confident that he could get all of his shopping done. What irked Jace the most was that they hadn't gotten the badge. All of that work for nothing.
"Didn't even get a badge for it. I mean, we were attacked and there was nothing that we could do, but still. Just some unfinished business to get back to after this is all over," he said. Jace's confidence about coming out of this on top wasn't false bravado. He was putting on a show for everybody, letting them know that he believed that victory was the only outcome. That's not to say that Jace was secretly quaking in his boots, just that his confidence was an attempt to inspire a similar confidence in his comrades.

Tully nods. "Yeah, was plannin' on goin' back and gettin' the badge, 'long with whatever else my points can buy me. Still, best make sure we all survive first - priorities and all."

"I might not be able to get the items you need, but with your cards I can buy the badges and hand them over once you come to my gym. It beats backtracking."

Sana remembers her unfinished business in United Front. She still needs to save Hayate, partly because she wants to save him, partly because she wants to have a rematch with Jace with him and partly to earn the rest of the points for her new gym badge. "I still need around 30000 more points."

"Perfect. As much as I enjoyed the gym challenge, I'm much more excited for something new," Jace said. "Tully, Sana, let's get our shopping done and meet back here in an hour. I'm want to do an exercise with the whole team." This warm-up training was more than just that. He intended to awaken the latent potential within as many of the group's pokemon as possible. The way he figured, he would only be able to get about a dozen pokemon in on the action, but that should be enough.
In the meantime, Jace wanted to pick up some TMs and find a tutor. He picked up Stone Edge for Lucario, Dazzling Gleam for Gengar, and Double Team for Ace. The mentors would teach Bullet Seed to Breloom and Signal Beam to Seadra. Hopefully that would be enough to cover up some typing issues within his party. Now more than ever his team would have to be performing at their best.
TM71 - Stone Edge: 3900 TM32 - Double Team: 2500 TM99 - Dazzling Gleam: 2700 Tutor Mentor - Signal Beam: 2500 Tutor Mentor - Bullet Seed: 2500 Changing Viewpoints: 2500 Total: 16,600

Then amount of points needed shakes Rime a bit. "O-oh. I thought you were much closer than that."
Rime, who so far was understanding and calm, takes a step back from the conversation. Her expectations were completely turned upside down and needed an escape. She'll remember this.
"Well... Don't keep me waiting, ok?

Once Rime's gone, Tully sets off. "Right, see you guys in an hour. I'm gonna try to buy some not-dyin' gear."*** Tully strolls through the city's markets. Things have gone pretty well so far - first he stopped off at a Move Tutor's to give Chance a lesson in long-range attacking. Then a couple of TMs, one to add a move to solidify the lesson (along with finally using the TM he got from Ika) and one for Cassie, just in case. Then he stopped off at an accessory shop to get a Razor Claw for Otto, along with a Lagging Lense. Otto's a little confused about that at first but, after Tully whispers what it's for, he can hardly stop smiling in anticipation. He's just off to spend the rest of the money he was given, along with some more, on food and medicine when he stops at a market stall. Sitting in the corner of it is an odd, purply-black pendant. Tully's not normally one for jewellery but something about it speaks to him. He picks it up to examine it and feels a slight energy radiating from it. Concluding that, since he's probably going to die soon, there's no harm in a little whimsy, he buys the thing before finishing off his spree with a lot of medicine and returning to the meetup point. Shopping list: 2500 - Mentoring Night Daze on Chance 2400 - TM95 - Snarl (Used on Chance) 2200 - TM51 - Steel Wing (Used on Cassie) 0000 - Using TM97 - Dark Pulse - on Chance 3000 - Razor Claw (given to Otto) 0900 - Lagging Item - Lense (reduces SpAtk) 1800 - Type Booster - Dark (Used by Tully) 1000 - Moomoo Milk x2 0900 - Full Heal x2 0900 - Revive x3 1600 - Hyper Potion x2 0600 - Potion x3
Total cost - 17800

”Roger, after an hour," Sana confirms Jace's command, then frowns at both Tully and Jace for constantly using her forename instead of her surname, which she sees as informal and disrespectful to opposite genders. "And please, Mr.Synod and Mr...er... what's your surname... Tully? Call me Ms.Hearts..."As an older teenage girl with a rose-shaded world-view, Sana Hearts holds high optimism that the world will never end today, even if they fail, even though she feels the unfamiliar heavy burden she is shouldering. Whimsy, tugging out from Sana's bag, acts naughtily. She picks out an excess cotton ball falling off from her cotton hair and tosses it straight at Tully, only for the wind to blow the cotton ball away and hit Sana instead. Sana takes some leftovers from the dining hall for her Pokemon to eat, later. She also looks for a mentor to teach Joy a move called After You, to boost her party members' initiative, then looks for a pharmacist who sells cheap Hyper Potions. Shopping list: 2500 - Mentoring After You on Joy 1600 - Hyper Potion x2 0000 - Leftovers from Dining Room x3 0500 - First Aid Kit
