"We need to know why Paradiso wants the Master Ball so badly. As far as I can tell, they have everything they need," Jace turns back to Zed. "And if possible, we need a way into their mountain fortress aside from the front door." He knew that this wouldn't end until The Boss was dealt with, but in order to do that they would need to get into the fortress somehow.

Zed's eyes raise from glow the blade gives off from the girl's grasp. "So, you have that gift..." "Diance... The pokemon's name was Diance? Her nest was here when I first excavated this land. I kept my distance but she left soon after the exterior was finished. I realized the stones gave special properties so I reinforced the Regibots with that. They were neigh indestructible through normal means. Many years passed and I discovered she has a new resting place, a popular spot for you trainers. Cainhurst Chasm, or Victory Road... as you define it." ------------------------------------- Zed tries once more to push his way from the invisible force suspending him and this time he makes it out falling on this back. He might have a slipped disk, but the freedom was intoxicating.
It's not Paradiso, but 'Individuals'. Zed strains a chuckle, but the knife place into his side pokes at him. I only I know that The Boss has given you Masterball as a token of your efforts, but I don't accept it. It doesn't sit right to let kids to hold something so important. Strong you may be, but you're inexperienced.
Zed settles in his spot. "Thanks to a certain blabber-mouth, news of your ownership is spreading and there are a lot of heated members that feel the same way. I don't expect anyone to directly face you three since you took out Roderick. Don't think for a minute that I'm an ally because you beat me." He expresses his distaste in Jace asking for secret passageways. "If you want to get beaten by the boss, they best way would be to fulfill your duty and beat the Pokemon Champion. But then you'll have the honor of fighting Jack, his right hand"

Sana presses her chin between her finger and thumb, pondering about Zed's words. "Gift?" Sana asks the machinist, wanting to know what he meant, and slightly afraid that he knows more about her unnatural existence than she did.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAqhK_wzqec"Out of all the elemental abilities given to humanity 20 years ago, Fairy is most rare. It's not hereditary like Maelstrom, Flame-bringer, and Druid. And it cannot be reproduced easily with what Spruce is trying to do. There's only a handful of Glamorweavers that exist on this Earth and they were either chosen via luck of the draw or obtained their powers through obnoxious stories."Zed looks to the ceiling in an attempt to remember what Spruce told him. "Yes, patients explanations were outlandish at best.
Abduction by Clefairys Bitten by a Snubble Struck by a moon meteor
Hell, there are people in some regions that think turning Togepi into a stew will grant them these powers. They all claim to not be the same person they once were, although DNA and fingerprints match. Do you believe that to be your case?"

"What does the champion have to do with this?" The Pokemon League was the last thing on Jace's mind right now. Not that he was complaining, but the last thing he wanted was to get jumped by Paradiso between gyms. If anything, the League should be helping them.

"You knew?"
"...You knew! How selfless of you. It's great when both parties come to mutual benefit." Another crackle comes out. "Not even the elites know the details of your special assignment. For that, you'll have to reach out to Jack."

"..." Sana suddenly goes pale. "How... Why?"
Struck by a moon meteor. Her case was more extreme. Nobody but her classmates knew about it - that she was squashed to death by a moon meteor, and was resurrected by it too, and soon she develops personality disorder based on magical girls cartoons she watched. Did someone else got struck by another moon meteor? She might have to ask Spruce.
The last suggestion shocks her, no true good-hearted people will eat a Togepi just for fairy powers. "What kind of outlandish idea is to eat a Togepi just to gain fairy powers?"

That's right, Paradiso's plan for them all along was to challenge the champion. In fact, as long as they set their sights on the League, Paradiso might leave them alone. That would buy them time if nothing else, and if challenging the champion would draw out The Boss into an unfavorable position then all the better. They could kill two Pidgeys with one stone. First the League then Paradiso, or other way around depending on how jumpy Paradiso gets.
"People will do crazy things if they think it will give them powers," Jace remarks. He leaves out the fact that he at one point ate a strange orb to gain ice powers. "And that's fine, we don't think that you will be turning over a new leaf. Fortunately for us, we happen to have a nice cold place to keep you until we can sort everything out. Marietta can escort you there..." The three of them had to continue on to their seventh gym, but Marietta should stay here and perform overwatch. If Paradiso made a move against them Marietta could track them using their skymall devices, assuming that they don't know what happened to Zed.

Marietta giggles at Jace's first statement. She looks around the room, to the fallen Regigiant, the shrapnel piercing through the steel flooring, the scorched everything. "Playing maid, hacker girl, and babysitter eh? I feel like it's me doing the hard part." Marietta says with a wide grin. "I'm all in!" She says, leaning on her controlled Regibots. There's a long road ahead for them.
The juggler unwraps her pokeball whip from her belt. With a effortless flick of the wrist, she calls out Jane, Joe, Voodoo, Alakazam, Voltorb, and Hydreigon. "Showtime boys and girls! We gotta clean this mess up!" She orders with another flick of the whip. "Voodoo and Mona(Voltorb), you search every nook and cranny in this place. There's still more secrets here!"
Marietta implies that you go and procure some bandages before going. Since the trip to Hayden set them back to the beginnings of their journey, the seventh gym is four hours away if they take the train. She insist they use that time for resting their injuries.

"Ms.Marietta, got a favor to ask of you. There might be an abandoned Diancie nest in this cave, I was hoping if there is anything that answers why Diancie left that nesting." Sana requests her idol for help as she might be set for the seventh gym.

Tully lets the others talk over the next steps, listening in but not yet contributing as he joins Marietta's pokemon in searching for anything important (or, for that matter, valuable) in the complex.

Tully smiles as he pockets the cash - there's not enough of it to worry about splitting it up, so he figures he can just lend it out to the others if they need it - and comes over bearing the various vitamins. "Well, looks like either he kept some 'mon enhancers around just in case or he thought robots needed vitamins. Fifty-fifty shot either way, I reckon."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl3GLMsko_0*chime* May I have your attention please. Platform 3 Train doors will be locked 45 seconds before departure. Say goodbye to your loved ones and make sure your luggage is with you. Storage can be found above...After a trip to the move tutor for Tully, the three trainers arrive on the 7:35PM train. Their journey to the Northwestern area of the Nexus region. 'Santa Ou...' Your eyes remained glued to the map on the wall. The legend of badges associated to each gym and city tells you destination of the seventh gym. There are many stops in between Hayden and Santa Ou so you can expect proper lodging is required either before or after the match. The train attendant rips part of your ticket and tells you safe travels. Men and women coming from work or a unsuccessful day at the gambling hall crowd around you until they find a proper place to sit. Marietta gets your attention from the other platform. Her and Joe will take Zed to Professor Spruce's lab so Rime can pick him up. Her other pokemon protects the underground lab in the meantime. Nothing to worry about there. The train takes off! To prevent anything from interrupting the traffic of the middle aisle, if a Pokemon needs to be taken out of it's ball, it must remain on your lap.

Time passes. The land outside the train turns dark and the lights turn on inside the passenger car. Some of you may have been sleeping away, waiting on the Santa Ou keyword to activate your brain. People come and go with each stop, but this time a loud thud disrupts the norm.
STOP THERE! GIVE THAT BACK! Two men, each carrying a strap to the same bag, run down the aisle with haste and a strained look on their faces. They run away from the young man who's trying to get his belongings back, continuously calling out to them. And you'll cross their path pretty soon. Many people seated near the aisle shrink away, leaving them unopposed. The train is moments away from stopping at the next station so this may be their last ventured car before jumping off!

Crime seems to be getting worse as of late. Sana cannot help but feel that as her magical girl of justice awakes inside her. She has to stop the thieves, even though she is sitting besides Tully. "Yes, distract them Whimsy."Whimsy rises from Sana's lap, climbs atop Sana's head, stretching her face awkwardly while making the most annoying sound ever, tries her best impression at showing the finger even with her studded hand. Whimsy taunts one of the thieves.

One of the thieves stop abruptly to yell at Whimsy and Sana. But before he can do anything, the partner he's tethered to is sent flying and landing on his back due to the sudden stop. "Man leave the kid alone! We gotta go!" The unaltered thief gets a raising start headfirst into Jace's well put barrier. With him in a daze, the angered thief snaps out of it and runs back the opposite direction. Only to be met by a foot in the gut. "CAUGHT YA!" yells the guy who aims to retrieve his bag in the first place. "Did yea really think you can steal from me? The mighty Satin!"You take one good look at Satin as he stands over the goon with confidence. He wears his hair messy and has a pair of wild brown eyes. Even with a hoodie and jean jacket on, he's not breaking a sweat after that small chase. imgur.com/mswxpstAll eyes are on this boastful fellow and his bag is within's arm's reach (for Sana she may have to lean over Tully).

Tully sighs and picks up the bag, taking a split second to feel out what's likely inside it before offering it back to Satin, ready to snatch it away again if he feels anything suspicious or problematic inside.

Tully's first feeling after grabbing the bag is a weight he did not expect. The bag is unnaturally heavy, like a freshman's backpack on his first day of high school, but twice the weight. With a tightened core and quick inhale he brings it closer. His hands gently massage the bag, Tully may have stumbled upon Satin's literal rock collection as all he feels are round, hard, and somewhat smooth and textures. He manages to locate some jagged grooves in these objects as well.

Tully winces a little as he says, "Wow, whaddaya got in there, it weighs a ton." He gives Satin a casual smile, making sure to sound as if he's simply having a bit of fun. "What, d'ya carry around rocks wit' ye everywhere or you got some magic superweights in there?"
