Acario ponders on Tully's answer. He forcefully taps the should of one of the guards, who then promptly apologizes to Tully in Acario's place.
"Something on your face really rubbed me the wrong way." Acario laughs in satisfaction with your answer. Tully called him on his bluff.
---------------------------- During the conversation, Sana reads the article on the Pangoro: Pangoro runs rampant through Umbridge streets Umbridge town gym leader Ika Xangley let her Pangoro out of her parent's mansion house for a day. Claiming he needed to stretch his legs. It began running through traffic, the local grocery store, and multiple gardens until it collided with an unidentified stranger. Both the female and the Pangoro were uninjured in this ordeal. Ika has agreed to pay off any property damages.

Diddy... Ruby has no idea what the nickname means, until Sana remembers a nickname her friend gave her. Diddy, aka Dissociative Identity Disorder. A heavy weight burdens the fragile heart of Sana. Ruby makes no sign of being concerned.
Ruby continues her reading, soon flipping to Unexpected solar eclipse? Night falls for three minutes, worrying the solar eclipse will affect her. On her next reading will be Next generation of Pokemon to come?. Maybe she may see a Mimikyu soon. She makes a brief reading on Nexus politics before flipping down the newspaper.
At least the news of Sana's kidnapping never made in on the news.

The article on the solar eclipse details what occurred during your battle at Oar's Rest Port. No one but the participants knows that Mew arrived to reincarnate Dialga and Palkia. Which turned the sky dark (like summoning Shenron).
Next Generation: A smuggler operation of imported Pokemon failed as the ship's hull was torn near the shoreline of the Nexus region. Pokemon from all regions, including some exotic Alolan Pokemon were set free. Most of them have been captured by locals and authorities.
The next article is about President Drump holding his next conference in Ikelos City. This one was noteworthy because this will be at the same time Nexus' champion Cricket team will be playing for the trophy. Many noteworthy icons and politicians have prepared tickets for this must-see game.
"Is there anything else that piques your interest in this room, Diddy, or will you get to business?" Aracio asks once she finishes the reading.

"Right, business." Jace had no clue who this guy was. "You just want us to deliver this letter? Sounds easy enough." Too easy. There was a catch, there was always a catch. Something this guy wasn't telling them. Still, he doubted that this guy was going to attack them. If he wanted to harm them, he would have done that already.

Ruby folds the newspaper and returns it to the table. Her eyes drift around the house before aiming slightly below the man's gaze. "Yes, we'll get to work."
Ruby can see it a mile away something very suspicious is inside the mail. Whatever challenges this man may be setting, she will have to confront it, malicious or not.
Besides she is curious if there's an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetails she may come across.

Johan and Floydd escorts Jace, Tully, and Sana to the bar only mere houses away. They come across a little tussle in the streets.
They hear two men going back and forth at each other. One is clearly being more dominant in the argument. With one mighty kick, the man sends the submissive one to the ground!
"That... that was violence!" The floored one says with a whimper. "What? That wasn't even close to violence. I merely tripped and you were in my way. I can show you some real violence inside." The aggressive one says as he begins dragging the other by the foot.
Their paths meet, but Johan and Floydd's gaze remains on what's in front of them as the bar storefront is just up ahead.

Jace wasn't about to stand idly by and watch this scene unfold. With a quick gesture he lifts the attacker off of the ground with Telekinesis.
"Well, as long as you are okay with attacking people who aren't allowed to fight back, I shouldn't feel bad doing the same." Jace didn't know how strong this guy was, but perhaps the threat of invoking Rime's wrath would be enough to deter him.

With feet dangling in the air, he struggles at intangible forces. "I... I got it! Just put me down alright!"
Johan puts his and on Jace's shoulder, giving him a light tug. "Hey. Didn't I mention something about not causing a scene? Let the trash be, hero, we're almost there." Bystanders look towards Jace, then advert their gaze
Sana notices the man who had taken the fall getting up. He looks at the scene happening before wiping as much mud as he can off his back. Then begins sulking away. She and Tully notice he looks a bit more ordinary than the others living here. Horned half-rim glasses, V-Neck sweater, khakis and boots. Neither of you sense an ounce of bad intent from this befallen man.

After the man who was attacked gets a bit of a head start, Jace releases his telekinesis on the other man. "It only cost us a second to help that guy out. And besides, we are outsiders, they were going to stare anyway." Although he didn't turn to look at any of the gawkiing onlookers, Jace spoke in a conversational tone that he thought they could hear.
He took one last look in the direction of the guy with glasses. Jace would have to check in on him if he had time to later. "But you're right, we are almost there. Let's go."

You enter the tavern, Diamond Glalie. Owned by a woman known as Miss Malta, burglar by day and bartender by night. Her calling card was leaving frozen locks to whatever she broke into. After being caught for accidental murder she was sentenced to death penalty that week, fortunately her path was crossed by Rime who takes her in.
The revellers order you to close the door behind you as the wind picks up. It was you normal spacious bar, the cold didn't make it too smelly either. Malta looks over and welcomes you all with a nod.
"What'll ya have?"

The bartender turns around and pours Jace a hot cider in a fairly large mug.
"Depends on who's sendin' it. If it's from Acario then that's mine. He told me he would send gifts, but I don't find three children pleasant one bit! Haha."
She gives a wink and slides the cider down the table. "Name's Malta."

"Jace," he said, holding the warm mug in his hands. He didn't drink it immediately, knowing that would just result in a burnt tongue. Instead he decided to hold it in his hands and appreciate the warmth it brought to his fingers. "And it is from Acario. So I suppose our mission is complete." Huh, that was easy. Usually these things come with a catch. This thought put Jace on edge a bit, causing him to scan the room in as casual a fashion as possible.

"Sure is, I guess..." She runs through the letter. After a slight pause, Malta slams the note on the table. "Well if ya'll were gonna cover for me why didn't you say so in the first place!" Life is recharged for her as Malta's heart rings the lunch break bell.
"Preciate you doing this guys. It has been really hard keeping help around here!"

Her curiosity peaked, Ruby questions the content that ignites Malta. "Yes, what do you mean?"

Malta jiggles the document in the air while searching for something under the bar. "Says here." Her head dives under the table. "Acario and I are gonna eat lunch together. I've known that SOB always had the hots for me."
She raises with a wool hat made of Zigzagoon fur. "And the messengers will run the bar while I'm gone."

"Eh?" Messengers - that would be them. Though Ruby is relieved it is not some unexpected betrayal, yet, she is expecting some Pokemon battle. She points to herself, questioning the plan of using them as bar caretakers.
"I... don't have experience in mixing drinks, I'm a magical girl."

"Pour something from the tap if they ask for something on tap. If they want a cocktail, pour in a shot and whatever mix they want in a glass and stir it a bit." Malta says in a hurry. Her coat slides on her easily.
"Boom, now you're all licensed bartenders in my eyes. One thing to make sure is to collected my damn money and don't let these guys get too rowdy. A quick ice spear into the wall is enough to settle them down."

"Is there a price list we can memorize?" Ruby questions again, eyeing around for the price list of all drinks, and the ingredients she may be using. Mixing cocktail and alcohol does not sound as easy as she said, she might have to mix it base on her six-sense.
Deep inside, her heart thumps in anxiety over venturing the unfamiliar territory of managing a bar.

"Yeah we have a menu under the bar. Don't be afraid to skim the top if their wallets a bit if they look too drunk to remember the actual price hahaha!"
Malta trusts the three as she shows them where she keeps snack and other refreshers during the job. She walks to the door with a final warning. "Remember, if anything happens to this bar... It's your ass, Jacey."

"Sounds easy enough," Jace says. After Malta leaves he turns to the other two. "Compared to saving the world? How bad could it be?"
