Tully raises an eyebrow and takes a moment to aim before slashing the Deputy with a knife across his shoulder. Meanwhile, Inkay focuses his psionic power into a lance, aiming to ram the Deputy with his own Baton, but a judder from the car rocks him a little and sends his attack flying harmlessly past him. Tully: Shift: Flutter Standard: Deadly Strike on Deputy
Inkay: Shift: Suction Cups Standard: Foul Play on Deputy, misses

The car goes over a bump and Grovyle springs up, more alert and before. He gives an ear piercing shout to Tully and Inkay. The deputy makes a confirming strike on Inkay this time! Deputy: Shift: None Standard: Slam
Grovyle: Shift: None Standard: Screech

Despite his suction cups holding firm, Inkay almost gets knocked back by the force of the Deputy's blow. Tully looks down at him, jerking his head back to indicate he should keep his distance and gives a small smile to indicate he'll be fine. Probably. Then, without warning, he strikes at Grovyle, with a knife to his arm and a backhand to his eyes. Inkay nods, though having not missed that probably. He gives a parting strike to the Deputy before floating back a little, out of his reach. Tully: Standard: Feint Attack on Grovle Swift: Dirty Fighting to use Blind Maneuver. Shift: Flutter
Inkay: Standard: Payback on Deputy Shift: Disengage 1 meter away

All Grovyle can see now is darkness, but he feels his way to the middle of the back seats. The deputy is already showing signs of fatigue from Inkay's attack. If he can't get them to stop, then he has to make it so their only choice is to stop. The deputy taps the driver and he responds by zooming past Zoroark's top speed. Grovyle breaks open the rear window to get a clear view of Zoroark and Tully. He breathes deeply and begins to glow a bright hue. The deputy throws his beating stick horizontally towards the window of Tully's car. Have Zoroark perform a focus checkDriver: Standard: Getting ahead of the car.
Grovyle: Shift: Backing up to the middle of the back seats. Standard: Charging attack
Deputy: Standard: Struggle Attack to the car

Tully gulps. "Oh, that can't be good." He takes out another knife and begins to aim. "Can you take him down again?"Inkay nods, not liking how this thing is looking at Zoroark. I can, but that will only delay his attack. Still, that might be worthwhile. "Good enough, I- NNG!" Tully gets ready to throw the knife, but unintentionally catches sight of Inkay's lights - this time far more intense to get past Grovyle's own light. The lights don't put Tully to sleep but they do disorient him enough to make him drop the knife. Tully: Standard: Deadly Strike on Deputy (and oh BOY did it miss!) Shift: Flutter
Inkay: Standard: Hypnosis on Grovyle (Cannot miss) Shift: Suction Cups

Grovyle instantly wakes up again with eyes wide open. He sticks his tongue out as he gather more sunlight. With no weapon, the deputy remains on standby.
"SLOW DOWN OR BE JAILED IN A HOSPITAL, YOUR CHOICE!!" He yells. The other driver is still pushing beyond the speed limit.

"Floor it!" Tully tells Zoroark, who does not need to be told twice. As they draw alongside, he makes a slash low on Grovyle's body, doing some damage but not deep enough to hinder it. Meanwhile, Inkay sends a blast of psychic energy towards the deputy before both he and Tully prepare for the blast. Tully: Standard: Feint attack on Grovyle Swift: Dirty Fighting Shift: Flutter
Inkay: Standard: Psybeam on Deputy Shift: Suction Cups

Grovyle is a bit too agile to be caught in Tully's constant antics. Just as he finishes charging his attack, a sudden shift prevents him from releasing Judgement. The confusion that Inkay set on the driver is taking its toll. They start swerving through the lanes, pushing everyone inside.
The deputy takes part of the steering wheel to help the other deputy regain his senses. Grovyle repositions himself for another chance.

Tully takes out another knife, ready to slash at the driver - if he can take him out, they should be able to outrun their car long enough to avoid the blast. Hopefully. However, as Inkay's second hit whiffs due to the bumpy ride, he switches the attack to Grovyle, adding in a strike to the temple to disorient it. Inkay: Standard: Foul Play on Driver (Missed) Shift: Suction Cups
Tully: Standard: Assurance on Grovyle Swift: Dirty fighting Shift: Flutter

The always-calm driver puts a hand on his left eye and takes a deep breath. "I don't think I can take much more of this. Have your Grovyle end it quickly. Don't worry about me." He says as he slows down a bit, away from Zoroark's car so Grovyle can set up his attack.
The hotheaded deputy sets himself on guard duty, protecting his pokemon from being interrupted again. "I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO EAT THIS!"

That's right, keep him under guard.
Tully smiles as he sends a quick thought to Inkay. They both lock eyes with Grovyle, prepare their attacks... and then switch their gazes to the Driver, Inkay hammering him psychically and Tully taking advantage of his pain to deliver a focused slash.
Tully keeps smile, even though he's internally really hoping this takes him out.

Though the driver was taken out by Inkay's attack, Tully didn't mind doing a double tap. The whites of the deputies eyes show as he sloops forward in his seat. The car begins to slow, but it was too late. Grovyle unleashes his super solar beam attack! The hotheaded deputy has hope in his eyes that this attack hits, the line of light burns the air at is travels to the driver's seat of Tully's cruiser. All Zoroark gets is a painful air-rending noise in his ear as the beam is shot off center. It grazes the side of the car, taking off the side mirror and someone the driver side door.
"DAMNIT!!" Everyone can hear the deputy's voice travel further and further. The gang finally outran the obstacles from the town!

"Yeah! Nice shootin', there." Tully allows himself a brief fist pump as the other car fades away before he turns around, bringing himself back to business. "Still, we're gonna have to ditch the car." Zoroark and Inkay look at him askance for a moment before he continues. "It's got a GPS... a tracker. Long as we're in it, they know where we are... hmm..."
He brings out his pokedex and calls up a map of the area, drinking some Enriched Water as he does as well as giving some to Inkay. "Could just dump the car, but then they'd track us on foot... maybe stage a crash but... no, no bodies, they'd know we... wait a minute!" He puts his finger on the map over the river running around the city. "Got it! Switch places, Zoroark. Once we get near the river, I've got a plan."
Zoroark carefully slows down until they can switch places without danger. As they switch, Tully says one other thing. "Oh, by the way, can't just keep callin' ye Zoroark and Inkay. You need a coupla names. I'm thinkin'," he points at Zoroark, then Inkay "Chance and Tobias. Whaddaya think?"

Zoroark and Inkay look at each other when Tully grants them names. Zoroark points at himself and speak something indiscernible to Inkay. They both begin communicating until Inkay shrugs its tentacles.
They look back to Tully and nod in agreement.
Later on...
In the middle of their trip to the city, they receive a call on the police car's radio. It was a demand for backup. Apparently, most of the city's police department had gone to raid a rundown warehouse. Defending it is local gang that is involved in multiple cases of child kidnapping and the like. They send the coordinates to wherever this attack is being held. The fire department and first responders are still available to help other citizens.
She also tells them to be cautious because a civilian girl just ran inside where the raid has taken place. Her description is that of a witch. Wand and everything.

Tully sighs. Hmph, kid snatchers - stupid and bastards. Never did like... wait, what?
"Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me! Couldn't be her... 'cept I dunno anyone else who'd go attack a gang with a wand." He looks out of the window to see the river coming up and slows the car down. "Alright, get out here and meet me under the brige. I'm gonna get the flatfoots back in town offa our trial."
After Chance and Tobias get out, Tully speeds up again as he comes up to the bridge. Then, as he crosses it, without warning he swerves the car over the side and into the river below, plunging the car into the water and undoing his seatbelt before it submerges.
He then swims under the bridge, groaning a little from the impact, and waits for Chance and Inkay.
"There!" He says when they arrive. "Now it'll look like swerved to avoid somethin' and went down. By the time they figure out we weren't on it, we'll hopefully be long gone. Now, who wants to go beat up some kid-snatchers?"

Once Tully is in view of the building, he sees many, many police officers at the scene of the crime. A large group of sorry-looking guys are handcuffed and being put into trucks.
Next, a blinding pink beam of light erupts from one of the walls closest to you. It takes side time for the stream to fade, but you can see Sana, her pokemon, and the victim of the blast in that one giant room. A group of Jenny's block the hole with their gawking and approach Sana.

Tully smiles a little as the building he's going for comes into view. Not that he was relishing the prospect of getting into another fight, but if he does have, better it be with an ally and beating up someone who really deserves it.
However, he's stopped in his tracks when he sees the blast blow away part of the building.
Huh. Wouldja look at that - little girl's got some serious power. Wonder if we could make a more permanent arrangement.
He and a veilled Zoroark quickly enter and blend into the crowd around the area, not going to the front, but close enough that they can see what's going on, and wait for an opportunity to make contact.

After the Paradiso meeting Tully finds himself in the food court with Felicia and Jeremiah. They are up ordering food that has yet to be finished. Mera, Jeremiah's assistant approaches him near the end of his dinner.
"Yo, this shard you gave me a while back... How does it work?" She opens up her hand and exposes the dull pink shard that Brooklyn was using. "You told me what it does, but not how you use it. Since you had so many you must have an idea?"

Tully sighs a little. "Heck if I know- way I see it, those things are more trouble'n they're worth. I only held onto them to keep 'em outta the hands o' the bad guys. Weren't gonna use 'em 'less I had to - way too dangerous to use casual-like."
He thinks for a moment. "Still, I've seen people use 'em and... well, I don't think it was any physical thing they did, they just... did it." After another moment's pause, he shrugs. "This is why I stick with knives. Still plenty you can do with 'em and you know exactly what yer dealin' with."

Mare's eyebrows furl a bit. After Tully says no, she wanted to say something, but waited until after his enthusiastic speech about knives.
"It's not as simple as 'just doing for me'. I'm concentrating like I'm trying to move it with my mind and I'm pointing it towards things, and no dice." After a slight delay, Mera presses her palm on the table, bringing back her reliable composure. "Once you're done eating, follow me to the river. I have an idea."
She turns away and runs to the door. "...I mean, if you want to spend the rest of your time with those two be my guest." She taunts before leaving.
