Sana creeps downstairs like an unwanted guest trying to escape. She enters the kitchen and she boy that she is searching for is found. From just looking, you can see that he's attached to the kitchen ceiling by some web-like substance. Just like the two upstairs, he is also unconscious.
Have you and your pokemon roll perception

It was funny, really. Despite all of his scheming, that was essentially what Jace's plan boiled down to. A straight, uphill charge was the dumbest, most reckless way they could attack. And yet, it would certainly be the most distracting. Three minutes.
"Well, you heard the man. Charge!" Not wanting the slower Seadra to lag behind, Jace picked him up. He didn't wield any weapons, so Seadra could become his weapon. He made a break for the stairs, running dead center. Ace ran along side him, with Seadra scanning the skies. Jace, for his part, was expecting a teleporting ambush. He readied a Barrier for such an eventuality. This was quite possibly the dumbest thing that he had done yet. Fortunately, Tully had his back. Tully was pretty good at spotting things that are trying to kill him.

Was hopin' we'd have more of a plan, but I guess this is the best we got.
Nodding, Tully dashes up to the stairs, crouching down when he reaches them to block line of sight from the top of them and keeping his eye behind them. Meanwhile, the Gengar by his side floats alongside him and crouches there as well.

"Master?" Sana gasps upon seeing Hayate, the person she needs to bring to safety. She almost darts to take him to safety, however, Silvia senses several ominous balls looking like Pokeballs sticking in between the webs, and they look dangerous too. Silvia quickly binds Sana's leg with her fillers and the nudge is enough to stop Sana's sudden movement.
"Huh?" Sana looks back and sees a frowning Silvia, her unusual expression is enough to tell Sana what Silvia means. No means no. Silvia uses her paw to point at the general vicinity of the pester ball, allowing Sana to spot a pester ball, and also scaring Sana.
Being a total tech dummy, Sana can only attempt to locate the perpetrator, swiftly as possible.

Everyone but Natasha and Felicia charge at the Spire. Along their path, Roderick catches up to Jace by mounting Rapidash.
"So, out of everything that head of your has to offer, you took Nadar's suggestion?"

Sana turns back to the kitchen room at the last minute, coming up with another risky maneuver. Even as an Eevee, Silvia is very attentive to concentration. Maybe she could ask Silvia to roll those balls off the spider web with her paws, however poor that idea is. In case of trouble, Joy would be able to cure any non-volatile status effect that will hinder her rescue operation.
Sana carries her closest thing to a magical girl mascot - Silvia near the balls. Silvia takes a deep and attentive look, lightly tugging the 3 dangerous Pester Balls and dislodging them from the web, balancing the ball between her paw as Sana takes them and place it into her bag. She may use them against her opposition as self-defense.
Just below the ceiling where Hayate is held, Sana lightly slaps Hayate back to the living world, while whispering quietly but audible to the sleeping samurai. "Hayate? Wake up." The rest of her Pokemon remains on guard.

"Yup, straight into his trap," he says. "As long as he is focused on us, we are winning. Three minutes," this was not a winning strategy, it was a way to stall. They didn't need to beat Nadar, they needed to stall. If Natasha can remove him from the stairs, and they can take out their form of teleportation, Mew will get away. The goal was to save Mew.
Besides, everything was going well so far.

The boy wakes up and sits upright. His eyes point towards Sana's aimlessly as he cradles his katana. Hayate remains unresponsive to the situation the both of them are in.
------------------ Nadar carefully peeks over the edge of the Spire to see where the group is. Near the staircase, space tears and the largest portal to be seen is opened. A group of 30-something Tauros and Bouffalant come charging out at full speed.
Yvette emerges at the end of the pack. "Sorry, it took some time pissing them all off." She says while reloading her gun.
Rapidash and Roderick effortlessly dodge the charging bulls. One of them charges at Jace and Tully.
Roll athletics for whatever skill necessary to evade the Pokemon.

Tully smirks a little, confident that by hugging the wall, he can avoid the stampede.
Unfortunately, it seems he has underestimated the rage and overestimated the intelligence of Tauroses, as one does charge straight at him.
The good news is that it also hits the wall behind him, knocking itself out cold.
The bad news is that he's a little too late to fully avoid it, its horns gouging a medium-sized cut into his side as he dodges to the side.
Stupid. He thinks to himself as he pulls out a potion and sprays the wound, glad that he stocked up. Should know by now - never assume that no one'd be stupid enough to do something'

Meanwhile, Jace takes a more direct tactic. He lifted boulders with his mind, these Tauros stood no chance.
Well, in reality he probably couldn't have stopped one dead in its tracks. Instead, he pushes it off to the side, using its own momentum to send it to Jace's left. He only looked back for a moment, confident that Felicia would be able to protect Natasha from the stampede.

After securing Hayate's whereabout and safety, Sana begins to feel much more relieved. Now she needs to stop whoever is attempting to ambush her and get Hayate to safety, or help in the attack on renegade Paradiso.
"Master, it's me, Sana Hearts. Are you alright? What happened before you were here? " The magical girl asks with muffled but audible tone, she continues to attempt to bring Hayate back to complete sense. She will need his help again in stopping the house invader.

... Hayate remains quiet.
Sana and her pokemon hear footsteps coming from behind them as they continue to assist Hayate. "Some help you are right now." Jasmine shows himself, leaning on the doorframe. Another man and follows behind him and te Luxray from upstairs also meets them.
He inspects the magical girl with the remaining half of his uncovered vision. "This ain't her!" The unknown man says with an unsettling rumble.
"Then I don't know who you're referring to." Jas tells the man. He puts his attention back to Sana. "Would you mind taking her and the pokemon outside? We got things to do and we're late."
-------------------------------
Sana makes a close medical observation at Hayate. Pupil's dilated, calm breathing, steady movements, and he didn't 'focus' anything until Jas mentioned something about Sana.
A classic case of someone in a trance...
Hayate pulls his sword out on Sana, the end of it inches away from her chest. This is him following Jas' order to evacuate Sana from the house.

Sana looks on with terror, teeth clenching and shivering, with shrunken iris, as the sword tip edging closer to claiming her life. Hayate is possessed, and she knows Jas is controlling him like a puppet. Is there no way she can counter this situation? 3 v 1 is suicide. Thus Sana shouts. "Hayate! Get ahold of yourself!"
Sana would probably scream in terror if her alternate persona does not keep her in check. "Why... why are you doing all of this?" She has to try to stall them by talking, perhaps easing Hayate fast and convince Jasmine and the house owner to stop.

Hayate's remains solid as a rock as he phazes through Sana's pleas. His sword shakes only a few millimeters."Who knows what his problem. Stockholm syndrome maybe?
"Why... am I doing all of this? Well..." Jas thinks with his arms crossed. "I think what Nadar's doing is completely new! Out of the box, merciless and I want to be there when he goes live."
"Gurner has a deathmatch grudge against Tatsumaki and he didn't take it too kindly when the Boss slayed some members of our little group." Gurner grows more fierce as Jas mentions her name. "Oh, now he's missing his friend Bridgette who went to meet with those two boys."
"And poor Yvette wishes for a world where the children won't have to suffer like she has. Also equally as pissed with the Boss. Does our new guy have to put a whole in you to move?"

To an ordinary citizen girl like Sana, the traumatic experience Jasmine mentioned only served to unnerve her further - that they live in a completely different world than her. She wants to empathize with them but finds it difficult to do so with terrorists. "You can't just give up the world just because the world gave you lots of setbacks..."
What can she do? Sana feels as if she has been driven to a corner with no way out. They might not even be going to let her walk away just like that. How long can she stall? She motions herself to move but remains observant as to what Jasmine, Gurner, and Hayate may be doing. Sana pleads to Hayate again, determined to get him out of here. "Hey, Hayate, please, wake up, you're supposed to be stronger than this spell."

Hayate remains unable to hear Sana's voice.
Jas is the first to motion. "Alright guys. Time to go. Gurner releases his frustration in his movement out the door. Luxray and Hayate push Sana out. Her pokemon follow in fear for their trainer if they anything funny.
Jas is the last to exit the house as he rubs his throat. "That was weird... I couldn't use my shard in that house."
A blue flash engulfs each of them...
------------------------------------------------------- Back to the battlefield...
The Paradiso group has their hands a bit tied with the Tauros and Bofullant. Though their horns are dangerous, yet they are still untrained wild animals so they went down easily.
Natasha and Felicia are still readying their plan while Rime stays behind to defend the two. Tatsumaki and Jeremiah take care of the last Tauros and Boffulant, while Roderick takes Tully and Jace to the base of the spire. The three of them notice the width of the stone is around 10 feet. Also there is a padlocked ladder on the other side of the spire away from the ocean, but that's probably not how Nadar reached the top.
A light engulfs the space between Jace, Tully, Roderick and the other members of Paradiso. Jas arrives with his posse and Sana in tow. But behind them is what narrows the mission's chance of success. The hulking, living mass of muscle is back in quantity. Ten identical Brutes teleported to the field with him. They each have scars in their chest where Tully took the shard that accelerated time from.
Before a word from either side is spoken, Jas continues his script. Him, Gurner, Hayate, Sana, Jace, Tully and their pokemon are swallowed by the lights and teleported to what seems to just be the other side of the spire, only further away. Gasping for air, Jas slouches on the stairs.
"Dunno why Nadar wanted it like this, but long time no see. Are you ready for round 2 you bastards?" Gurner says as he points to his new eyepatch. He recalls his shakey history with you two. "That girl is gone so you'll just have to get what would be her punishment. Go crazy, Hayate!" He howls to Hayate, who quickly draws out two pokemon.
"Forget what he says, I'm killin' you right here!"

"Nice," Jace says under his breath when he sees the monsters up ahead. "Second verse, same as the first, you ugly pirate," he taunted. It was obvious that Hayate was being controlled. The priority was to figure out how to end that control and get him on the right side of the battlefield."Let's go Ace. Show them your new trick." Ace stuttered back and forth, copies of himself following his movements. His exact location was now much harder to pinpoint.
Ace has an initiative of 34 He uses Double Team
Jace is using Focused Command to command Ace and Seadra. Seadra has an initiative of 29

Since her voice can't reach Hayate, the other choice she seems to get is beat him until he's back to reality. A strong tailwind howls towards Sana's party general vicinity, lightening their movements and cheering them to excitement. Whimsy giggles as she throws a cotton ball in the air, as it floats around to signal the change of wind. Whimsy activates Prankster and uses Tailwind on all allies, blessing them with Cheer buff and +5 Initiative for the rest of the encounter.

Seeing the Fire-type Darmanitan, Seadra hops forward and lets loose a Bubblebeam at it.

The bubbles tear apart on Darmanitan. The monkey is startled, but only ends up with a few hairs out of place and vapor around him.
Talonflame, initially confused at Hayate's sudden change, is gestured to attack Sana. She wavers for a bit but decides to listen to her trainer. The charge had some effort put into it, but is easily dodged.
