After the battle, Jace awakens on what looks like a boat. He takes note that Breloom and Lucario are back inside their pokeball, but Ace is nowhere to be found. Although the beating sun helped out, you notice that your clothes are lightly damp and stinky. Any wounds you received in the last fight burn.

Sitting up, Jace was very confused. Where was he? Did he get teleported onto the boat? Where was everyone?
He took in his surroundings and did a quick inventory. He still had his Pokeballs, which was a plus. He didn't see Ace, which was definitely not a plus. As he stood up his body protested. His brain got his stupid body to move but not without complaint.
"Hello? Ace? Tully? Anybody?" Jace didn't think that they were here, but he thought that he might try. Now that he was standing he tried to get an even better lay of the land. He was on a boat, that much was obvious, but where was the boat? Would he need to pilot it back to shore by himself? So many questions and nobody to ask.
Not letting down his guard, Jace kept one hand up to protect his face and another one on Lucario's Pokeball.

You walk around the ship for a few minutes and eventually meet a woman tanning in chair with one of those metallic panels pointing towards her. You coincidentally see Ace taking a nap on her thigh. This woman does not seem to notice you yet.
Roll charm for a good and tactical approach

Well that just made things more confusing. How did Ace get there, and why was he taking a nap? "Hey, sorry to bother you, but that's my Eevee," he said pointing at Ace. Was she the only one here? This felt weird. Honestly, it kind of felt like a dream.
"Also, if you don't mind me asking, where are we?" he felt dumb asking, but he had to know. Bad things were about to go down and Jace didn't want to be stranded out in the ocean during it.

"You're on my boat obviously. We're right along the eastern edge of the region. She lowers her tanning sheet and pushes her jet black hair back to further reveal a familiar face.
Felicia Vilani, the gym leader of Proamario City and Tully's sister. The one who held you and Marietta prisoner for being accessories in Tully's retreat.
"Please make yourself at home for the time bein'. The crew is fast asleep because of what happened ...last afternoon I guess? Or should I say a few minutes ago... She starts mumbling under her breath for that last part. She sets Ace, who is perfectly bandaged up, on the ground.

"Last afternoon? What time is it?" Questions were being replaced with more complicated ones. Why was the crew asleep? At least Ace was safe and sound.

Felicia throws her arms in the air. "Dunno! Probably around 2 o' clock. In a span of minutes, hours passed. Last afternoon turned to this afternoon, kid. I believe this is my second chance at working on my tan!" She says with glee. She takes her shades off picks up a set of binoculars, scanning the horizon.
"Now, since you were kind enough to drop by, mind telling me what happened to by brother? Seeing you and your pokemon looking so sorry doesn't make me believe anything good." Felicia says in a more serious tone than before. She moves around and throws Jace a towel and a box of bandages.

"No clue," he said. "Honestly, whatever sent me here probably sent him somewhere else. They split us up." Jace actually wasn't worried about Tully too much. If anyone was going to be fine on their own, it was Tully.
"Wait, so last afternoon is this afternoon. So we now have an extra day?" That would be good. Jace wanted one last chance to get his pokemon ready for the final battle. He wanted to prepare everyone's pokemon, but that didn't seem like an option at the moment.

"Nonono, Last afternoon is last afternoon. It's 2:00 the next day. A bit before you arrived, about 18 hours have passed in 10 minutes." Felicia groans, becoming irritated of having to explain the passage of time multiple times.
"Whatever sent you here? Keep talkin..." The sound of her fingers snapping echoes through the ship. Seconds later, a well dressed man comes out with a dish of Steamed Krabby Legs.
"I see you found someone suitable for the mission my m'lady?" He says as he passes the food to Jace.
"Yeah, he's a good fit for the job, I'll hafta' help with out with gettin' there." She says with a devilish grin. "Jace, while you're explaining your situation, do you have anyone that'll miss you. Friends? Family?"

"Uhh, not really? My dad probably thinks that I am dead by now," he said. For the first time in a while Jace felt uncomfortable. He wasn't going to talk about it probably thank goodness.
Starting from when they were teleported off stage and onto the field Jace explains what happened. He doesn't skip any details, except for the end which was a bit hazy.
"Alright, your turn. What mission?" he said.

"A runaway too huh? I see why my brother got along so well with you."
Even though it's small, seeing Jace visibly falter makes the gym leader not get too deep into it. She leans in more to the story of the previous fight, "So some random guy's strength alone gave you a hard time? Sounds like an extreme version of my challenge. So the same kind of people that attacked Reese and I did the same to you..."
The butler brings in a large briefcase. It looks pretty heavy duty and the amount of locks on it looks nonsensical. "So, we're in a bit of trouble." She says as she unlocks the miniature jail cell to take out a Luxury Ball.
She releases a fainted Lapras. "Caught 'er fair and square! The other Pokémon living with her in that cave don't follow rules though..."
"If you can see the fatigued crew and damaged hull, you can probably fill in the blanks yourself Mr. Synod." The butler says to assist Felicia in her explanation.

He looked around at the crew and ship. "So you want me to go into this cave and finish the job? What's in there that we need so badly?" He was still a bit confused, but was beginning to understand. What had she mean by "our challenege"?

Felicia lets out a sigh for tedious work ahead. How does he not get this! Is my generosity being wasted here?
"Look here, Jace. I'm hell bent on getting out of this Pandora's Box so we can all go home. Even if you don't, I want to see my family again so listen closely." Felicia demands him as she returns Lapras back into her pokeball. "My pokemon and I captured her and now every inhabitant of the cave I in wants me dead er somethin'. I took out most of them but they followed the ship for a long time. Eventually we lost them and now the ship has turned to shit and my pokemon are dead tired. A second wave of pokemon will eventually reach here, this time they're organized to I expect their big guns to show up."
She points fiercely to Jace and Ace. "This is where you and your pokemon come in! Help me defend the ship and we just might get to land. I will pay you handsomely for saving the live of my ship."
"It's that, or a literal swim with the fishes." It seems that Felicia has been waiting for the inevitable to happen so she could fight everything off herself.
Roll Focus to not let Felicia's taunts get to you.

"Oh, well if that's all," Jace brushed off his inability to follow the situation. Pandora's Box, was that where they were? "I'm no slouch against water types, as you know."
Reaching for his belt, he released all of his Pokemon. They lined up in front of him, including Ace. "Haunter, Lucario, take the aft end of the ship. If you see them coming blast 'em with your ranged moves. Ace take the starboard side, Breloom you are on port." This way Jace would be in the center of the boat and each of his pokemon would be within the range of his Pokeballs. He could return them and shuffle them around as needed.
The four of them did as they were told, taking up defensive positions around the ship. It took Ace a second to figure out which side was the starboard side, but he figured it out eventually. They stood and watched the waters in anticipation. "Any idea what kinds of pokemon we are up against? On a scale of Magikarp to Kyogre."

Felicia send two Clawitzer to help Gengar and Lucario, Feraligatr with Breloom, and Mitotic with Ace.
Sharpedo and I will try to prevent the small fry from getting on the ship. You all take care a' anything we miss. Maybe we'll get some Gyrados, Barbaracle, Seakings, Wailords, Carracosta any many others. I wouldn't think about it to much, we'll be okay. Some time later, Mitotic alerts Jace and the others about underwater movement. The attack has come.
Roll command for Jace's leadership among the group of pokemon. Roll your Pokemon's combat and acrobatics skill to see how well they'll do against these invaders while fighting on a shifting wet boat.

"Get ready, here they come," Jace had also positioned himself so he could more or less see the entire ship with no more than a head turn. This put his back to the front of the ship, but if a single pokemon came from him that way he was confident that he could take it. No, he was more worried about his pokemon falling in.
Jace's Initiative: 10 Ace's: 34 Breloom's: 19 Gengar's: 36 Lucario's: 29

"Come on Ace, don't let your land legs get the best of you," Jace says, using his telekinesis to nudge Ace in the right direction. Ace's speed and power might be his downfall on the slippery deck. Breloom's side was getting the worst of it by the looks of things, but Feraligatr looked fierce and Jace had just used a Full Restore on Breloom, so they should be fine for now.

FIREFIGHT ROUND ONE: STARTALL SKULLS ONPokemon begin climbing the ship, but Gengar's range and incorporeal body makes him perfect for defensive combat. He's able to phase through the ship to attack when they are too vulnerable while climbing. Lucario's prowess at combat makes this fight as if it were regular training. Breloom and Feraligatr have a somewhat easy time with this too. They have ranged attacks, but they prefer to wait until the pokemon goons come up to engage physically. Strength in numbers don't mean anything to those two since they both have attacks which are strong against water types. Ace and Mitotic on the over hand are doing terrible. Ace's lack of restraint upon his small body is a liability so she must barricade the edge of the boat with her body so he won't slip through the railing. Someone takes notice of this mess and makes the first attack. A Samurott breaks through the railing, horn first, and strikes Mitotic who was defending Ace. She slithers upright to fight him 2v1, but she has to defend what Ace can't at this moment. Samurott: 15

"Get that Samurott out of here!" Jace readies a psychic attack that will hopefully shove the giant off of the boat, but it is faster than him. Fortunately it is not faster than Ace, who gets his feet under himself long enough for a jarring headbutt.

With one hand, Samurott shields himself from Ace's attack. He then whips the bladed part of his arm across Ace, but the shifting vessel makes it balancing hard for him as well. Free Action: Parry Standard: Slash Milotic is busy defending the boat from other attacks. Felicia and Sharpedo are doing a good job at attacking the enemy in their environment.
