After conquering the 6th gym our trainers were greeted a sudden, but not unknowingly shocking event. During their time away Paradiso has begun to take the Boss' plan in full affect. With the power of Girantina's Griseous Orb, augmented by the power of the Time and Space Orbs, allowed him to 'pull' people from different timelines of different spaces of existence. From the elite's view, he wants to systematically replace those that cause strife and contention in the Nexus region. Currently the group in enroute to confront Zed, the Paradiso elite mastermind pulling the strings behind an inconvenient invasion of mechanical Regirocks. Joining them are Tatsumaki's loyal henchwomen, Kuki and Yozora who were also after the Masterball, but stopped after finding the trainers wish for no ill intent. The time is 4PM.
"Finally FREEEE!!!" Kuki cries as she walks out of the train. Her spine cracks like fireworks as she twists and turns. As if sitting were more of an inconvenience than being inside of a Pokemon's mouth. "Well, where should we hit up first? Gambling Hall? Chapel? Hayden Tower? You can have first pick Sana." She looks for an answer with money eager eyes.
"This sure brings back memories." Marietta says in reminiscence. The platform clears once again when the train departs, but because of how populous Hayden City is, there looks to be as many people still loitering around as a crowded Umbridge Town.

Sana nervously smiles at the three suggestions Kuki provided as she carefully walks off the train. She weighs all options and benefits on their current quest and then suggests. "Maybe Hayden Tower, we can locate a landmark to Zed's laboratory."
"This place... can be so mean." Sana reminiscences a memory that clashes with Marietta's nostalgia. She remembered she tried to do a part-time job for Pokedollars and ended up as a casino showgirl in a bunny suit. Ruby had to take her over before she collapses in shame.

Tully nods. "Not a bad idea, but first, reckon we oughta swing by the Centre, few of our 'mon got hurt in that scuffle and we're gonna wanna be at full strength if we're gonna take on Zed. After that, well, dunno 'bout you guys, but I got a loada money that could be useful in makin' mine even better. Reckon that might be worthwhile, whaddaya think?"

"Ah, good point. If you're offering I'm down for anything!" The group cuts directly to the Pokemon center. Noctowl and Pelipper are getting heal by the Nurse Joy behind the counter. Something catches Jace's eye on the bounty board. It turns out the board is not only for hunting people, but nearby Pokemon causing a ruckus.
One bounty is to take care of a rampaging Nidoking in a neighboring village. It details that the pokemon has destroyed crops and is poisoning the plots of land to grow Sitrus Berry trees. He is highly dangerous as many people have tried to deal with him and failed.
Tully also notices his bounty had been replaced from the time he removed it during his first visit. The details have not changed, but it's a good indicator that he is still being sought out by authorities.
During this time Marietta takes time to talk with Sana, "So here we are, just getting ready for bed to attack Travis' gym and his Pokemon knocked us out! I was in the tub about to prune up until Ms. Felicia rescued me. Where were you when you got hit by the sleep spell?"

As Jace spent the last of his dollars on a PP Up, his thoughts turned again to Gengar. Maybe he was robbing a bank, or committing espionage. Or maybe he was stealing candy from children. Nothing was beneath the mischievous Gengar. While he lamented the fact that he was now down to only four pokemon, the bounty board caught Jace's eye.
"A Nidoking, huh?" A Ground-type. It could be a vital addition to Jace's team before facing the Regibots. He needed a sixth Pokemon. Nidoking would be a fine addition. "What do you think?" he asks Ace. The Eevee was in the middle of chugging the PP Up like the vitamin junkie that he is, but Ace managed a nod anyway.
"Let's split up," normally a group's famous last plan. "Get ready for what is coming next. We will meet back here at the Center in a couple of hours."

"Me?" A nervous reply from a girl hardly being asked about her league challenge quest. "Ahh... ahh..." Sana stammers in an attempt to find an answer until Ruby persona swaps in again. "Yes, in his gym. Sana went through a series of room, into a gas chamber, and then she got gassed." Sana takes a deep breath, and pouts. "He could have told me he needs to put me into sleep, it was scary. "

Marietta holds Sana's comment with high regard. "Woah! You're really somthin' you know that Sana? We didn't even make it to the gym!"
"Hold on." Kuki says. "How long do you think Zed will be fooled by that train tactic? You have 1 hour. He'll definitely be looking under his nose when he finds out." Kuki says as she puts Pelipper in a pokeball. "And what are you two going to be doing in this vibrant place?" She asks Tully and Sana.
"Marietta's lightbulb goes off just in time. "Sana do you want to help me put on a show here?"

Sana's mouth widens a little, entering Hayden's gym was just like any other gyms, just walk in. "Eh? But you got the Dream Badge?" She figures that it seems that Jace's team got the special treatment. They got immediately sent to the dreamscape.
Kuki's warning immediately springs her anxiety about the Regibots. She was about to suggest Hayden's tower until she got Marietta's counteroffer. A chance to help her idol, and maybe fetch her autograph...
She juggles between two choices, and finally decides upon helping Marietta. "Yes, I'll be glad to, Ms. Marietta, I'm not sure if I can be of much help but I'll try." As she bows, Whimsy climbs out from her trainer's bag, inflating her miniized body and pushing aside Sana's witch hat, standing on her head, tilting left and right, looking at Kuki with a cotton ball on hand.

Tully hums for a moment. "Hmm, got a point there. Was gonna get find a few tutors, but I'm guessin' we don't got time for that, right?" He thinks for a moment, trying to calculate how many pokemon he can get tutored, if any at all, before they go to face Zed.

"If you think you have time for that, then by all means proceed in your activities." Yozora approaches the group. "Nocty is still healing his injuries so I will leave him here for an hour." Kuki stares at Whimsy with daggers and the Pokemon replies in turn. Since everyone agreed to splitting and promise not to get into trouble, the group sets their meetup at the train station. Jace goes to the train station for the Nidoking bounty. Kuki and Yozora walk over to the Bazaar. Marietta and Sana prepare to leave.
Marietta taps Tully on the shoulder. "Hey T, once you're done tutoring your pokemon, would you have some spare time to help me with my show? I could use your aim." She asks in confidence, but you can feel a hint of anxiousness in asking you for help.

Tully gulps. "Er, that... um... not that I don't 'ppreciate the offer, but well... I ain't exactly too comfortable in the spotlight, know what I'm sayin'? 'Sides, wanna get some shopping done as well. Doubt I'll have the time." He gives her an awkward smile.

"No problem, I forgot you had a no camera policy." Marietta laughs. She presses Sana to leave. "I guess it can't be helped. The show must go on, Sana!" Once they are outside, the juggler takes point in walking around.
"Do you think you can make your fairy attacks sparkly?"

Dazzling Gleam, the move that Sana believes would be her most sparkly, but her lights always come out in parabole shape. If she could fine tune its ability with her arcane sensitivity...
"I can try." She whispers to Marietta, a hint of uncertainty in her tone as to how her fairy sparks can benefit a juggling show. "Yes, why the fairy sparks though?"

"Fireworks of course! It's a necessity, but I don't want to take away the main attraction that is me, so you'll be showing off first. This is how we rile up the crowd." What could be used better than fireworks? Elemental powers.
What Marietta had in mind for her plan to work is simple. Sana goes on the rooftop of a building and launches a pretty display of her power, then the mastermind floats on top of Magni all the while juggling. Maybe Whimsy puts on a few winds.

Sana glances through the plan in her mind. Simple enough, however, Sana freezes a little. She is a cheerleader, but she always cheer together with her club members. Riling up crowds may make her anxious. This is how Ruby steps in, with a more physical form as Magical Girl of Love Ruby Hearts. "Yes, which building? Point it to Ruby."With the witch hat immaterializes, Whimsy is surprised at the open space. She once again flings the Alola style clothes she stole from Rime's gym and blatantly show it in front of both Sana and Marietta. Sana uses Enchanting Transformation, bind 2 AP.

Marietta is at a loss for words. It might swoo the crowd in her favor, but for all the wrong reasons. She cracks a smile regardless, "Your pokemon looks like a good manager. That'll surely help out of charm factor. But it's up to you."
Heh, the reserved Sana will never wear that! I'm worried over nothing.
"As for the building... Lets see... can't be too high." She points to one that's about 30 feet tall. " This one is great. Think you can scale it?"

What Marietta does not know is Sana has a split personality dubbed Ruby, who is significantly less reserved than Sana, ready to use her feminine charm to her advantage. The two personas soon argue between themselves.
No! Yes! No! Yes! No! No! Yes!
Sana soon relents to Ruby. She needs Whimsy's help, it'll probably make Whimsy happier to see her dress while wondering why does Whimsy want to see her dress like Phoebe. Ruby collects the garb. Whimsy jumps around happily at being accepted.
"Yes, that can do." Ruby scales the selected building and with her wand, flies on top of it together with Whimsy. Magni stands next to Marietta, he rotates his magnets, ready to heed Marietta's instructions.

"Oh great..." Marietta murmurs as Ruby scales the building. "Drop a couple of Pokeballs when I give the signal!" She calls out. She begins to do a couple of rotation stretches before stepping on top of Magni. "It's showtime, Magni! Lift me halfway." Marietta taps gently on Magni's forehead. Now all she waits for is Ruby's fireworks.

As long as she is not the main attraction, she is hoping that no one will be looking over the roof for an Alola dressed magical girl dominated by her Whimsicott, happily sitting on Ruby's head like a queen on a litter. Ruby channels fairy energy onto her wand, and fires it upon the sky. Pink energy trails on the sky, until it dissipates and bursts quietly into dissipating bright white stars. Ruby has to probably do this several times. She has some Great Balls prepared near her.
Magni slowly levitates with Marietta on tow, waiting for directions.

Marietta, with arms crossed, gazes onto the streets for anyone watching. It looks like Ruby's strike managed to get a few people looking up, then the curiosity will soon spread to others like a virus. Moments later she equips her pokemon belt that's in the function of a whip and cracks it in the air above. Six pokeballs come dropping down in a nice, vertical fashion and Marietta smoothly transitions into a juggling bit.
Minutes later you see she has a full crowd watching underneath. Some are expressing their cheer and most are recording. Unnoticed by most, Jane appears from behind the juggler! She flings a beautiful water shuriken that reaches Sana and explodes. Producing a raining effect down below.
This is Ruby's cue to toss the great ball in the middle of Marietta's performance! Remember she can't see behind herself so get your accuracy and athletics rolls right so she can smoothly intercept the descent.
