Acario erupts in laughter. "You're a foolish boy!" He ponders out the window after settling down.
"Here" He eventually says, taking three coats from a nearby rack. "This will help before the blizzard sets in this evening. And don't forget this." With a little trouble of letting go, Acario hands over the jar of tips to Sana, which amounts to $13,000.
"It was a very entertaining lunch, but you all have to go soon. I have no doubt the wardens have heard the commotion." Johan says coming up to the front.

"Aha, thanks, yes." Ruby receives the Pokedollars she got from her subpar shift and splits them between her party. The tidied bar with half-conscious patrons gives Ruby a queasy feeling. "Yes, I made the patrons a little too drunk, sorry about that." She begins stuffing her bag with snacks and refreshments Malta offered, as her party members will need them later.
"Ahh, yes, come to think of it, why the need for wardens in this place?" She kind of know the answer, but the magical girl asks just for curiosity sake.

"Outside of the obvious reason, my clever friend, enforcement." Acario explains.
He also grabs some rations and starts to unwrap them. "Unlike me, Rime doesn't have eyes everywhere, she has no idea of what nefarious trades goes on my town. Their duty is to snuff and destroy anything they see which doesn't belong and may come as a threat to Rime."
"If you ever encounter them our your way out remember, no wardens means a better quality of life for me and my boys. Hahahaha!"

Acario’s comment reminded Jace that these people were in fact all criminals. Criminals too dangerous to be kept outside of this massive dungeon. He had no intent of roughing up the guards for them, but if they stood in his way from reaching the top, so be it.
“Have any of you made the climb? Are we going to need climbing equipment?” With this cold weather gear Jace wasn’t too worried. The worst thing that could happen is that they hole up in a cave for a dozen hours or so.
It would be smartest, tactically speaking, to just stay here. That was the deal he made with Acario after all. But Jace’s pride wouldn’t allow for it. Jace pushed his pokemon to be the best, not simply good enough. If he didn’t push himself to the absolute limit as well, he could never call himself their leader. No taking the easy way out. He was going straight to the top, in this case literally.

Why does Sana think the warden may seek them out to challenge them in a Pokemon battle? Ruby keeps these suspicion at bay. Now she is focusing on the two relationships about to blossom.
Ruby waves her wand upwards, a cheesy smile carved upon her face. "I, Ruby Hearts, the magical girl of love and justice, shall bless you two, may your life filled with happiness, longevity and, yesness~❤" Ruby twirls around and winks, striking a victory sign.

Acario walks up to Sana and rubs her head. "Thank you my pokemon trainer friend. If you're ever here under more, permanent circumstances I won't forget what you've done for me."
Acario explains to Jace how few people have tried to climb as a way to escape and even few have come back. He doesn't have any climbing gear to offer, but he gives each of you snow boots. Giving you the Tundra Naturewalk ability.

Tully nods in appreciation, slipping on the boots and leading the way out - the longer they stay there, the more chance something else might go down.

The three trainers eventually leave the bar. One of the patrons breaks the unease by asking Malta for another drink.
"You know what, I think you guys deserve something from the good stash!" She says as she opens a cabinet at the bottom, only to find them empty or only drops left. It seems when mixing, Sana knew to use the good alcohol, but Malta never told her otherwise.
"FFFFU-
------------------ The three of you begin walking to the outskirts of the town, in the direction of the mountain. Tully still leading the group with Jace and Sana in the back.
As you walk, you hear a slight thumping sound behind the lodgings next to you. Tully slows his pace in curiosity of what's around the corner. Sana glances at the corner an notices large claw marks of something that's been here for a long time.
What lurked out of the corner may have well been a Dragonite in a monster suit. Your eyes raise at the red-crowned beast. Whatever it may be, it doesn't notice you're crossing paths, yet.
Roll stealth to avoid the Pokemon monster's sight.
---------------------------
Tully had already positioned himself to the side of the cabin once Jace and Sana make a move. The crunching snow underneath their feet alerts the beast-like pokemon; so he begins to look down. Seeing them, it prepares to swing it's claws-
*GLASS SHATTER*
The pokemon quickly looks over at a nearby tree and with the same hand, out comes Ice Shard which effortlessly lodges into the tree, that action gives you enough time to hide successfully.
You're able to think clearly and can now see that this monster is somehow an overgrown Grizzly Weavile. The Pokemon snarls at the undetected prey. Weavile's human length claws slice through the air. Across the way you see a familiar man holding beer bottles. Jace knows him well as this was the same meek man he saved a couple of hours ago. He's turned pale and even in the cold he's sweating profusely from actions he committed to. On the other end of the cabin, you hear a child calling out to you.
"Come with me and Dad if you want to live!" He playfully says grinning from ear to ear. He gives out his hand.

"Can't say that I am too worried," Jace said, releasing Lucario. "We already beat something similar before." Finally, some action. Poor Lucario was left out of the last battle, which was extra tragic given his immunity to being poisoned. Now he had a chance to show off.
Jace uses Critical Moment (priority) to boost Lucario's stats.
Lucario's initiative is 37 the first round 29 thereafter

The boy quietly hisses as Jace while Weavile steps into Lucario's range. Her feet shifts, and the next thing you know is that she and Lucario are back to back with some blood coming from Lucario's side. The father on the other side makes a face stricken with grief. Weavile initiative: 48

"If Rime didn't want us to fight these wardens, she would have told them to leave us alone. This is just the first of many challenges." To them they were wardens, but to Jace they were just another gym challenge. Every gym had them.

Tully darts to the side, releasing Shanna and then flicking a knife into his good hand. He makes sure to stay behind Jace and Lucario for the moment, the better to strike unexpectedly. Shanna, meanwhile, lunges forward, dashing past Weavile and slashing it as she goes, scoring a powerful hit. Tully: Shift: Release Shanna Swift: Disengage 1 Metre Standard: Take Aim
Shanna's initiative: 20
Shanna: Standard: Slash on Weavile

Weavile is taken back by Shanna's attack. With fury, she moves away from Lucario and attacks Shanna with a forceful slash. Disengage 1 Space from Lucario Standard: X-Scissor on Shanna

Shanna turns around calmly, thrusting out one of her arm blades to catch Weavile's strike and gently push it aside, deflecting the powerful blow. She looks up the Weavile and snorts derisively. Shanna uses Parry on Weavile's attack, avoiding it.

Retreating certainly was on Ruby's mind, as she needs to formulate some plan to counter this unexpected Dynamax Weavile. However, when she sees Jace and Tully charges at him fearlessly, Ruby feels that her tactics had become invalid and decides to join the fray too. She needs to rally them. She sends out Joy and waves her magic wand like a baton. "Go! Fight! Win!" Ruby shouts loudly, rallying her allies to their victory. Joy waves her arms, sending out a protective defense layer on everyone. Ruby uses Don't stop now on all allies, +12 temporary hit point, and Excited cheer.
Joy uses Reflect on all allies and Motivated cheer.

Weavile looks towards the trainers, see someone that making her ears hurt. She blows winter's rage at the three trainers, but it was easily ducked because of the height difference.

Shanna snorts as she gives a forceful slash to Weavile's side, both annoyed and concerned that it was focusing on the others. She growls at it, hoping to get its attention. Shanna uses Metal Claw on Weavile

Weavile turns around to Shanna, but gives a piercing howl. It echoes off the wall, snow and is carried away by the harsh winter air. With ringing ears, everyone around Weavile starts to become a bit unsteady, lowering their defenses.
Roll Survival/Perception

As Shanna growls again, the screeching knocking off her balance but solidifying her focus, Tully shakes his head to recover somewhat before he hops next to Weavile, giving it a powerful slash to its side. Defiant activates for Shanna, increasing her attack by 2 CS
Tully: Free: Use Motivated buff to restore Defense by 1 CS Swift: Disengage 1 metre Shift: Flutter Standard: Deadly Strike on Weavile

The screech was so piercing Ruby had to cover her ears, wincing but smiling. In response, Ruby takes a deep breath, bends forward. "AHHHHHHH!!" She lets out a cry of encouragement on her allies. Lucario's inefficient movements throughout needs a boost, when Joy thinks of that, she waves her arm, calling for Lucario to raise the ante of his game. "Yes, look out guys, Weavile is calling for assists, it'll be a messy situation if we stay on." Ruby is not sure of the number of Weaviles that will come, but if Jace and Tully are determined to continue fighting, she is going to have a tough battle ahead. It might be better to follow the child, as Sana feels. Sana uses Show Your Best! on all allies, +1 on Defense and +1 on chosen stats.
Joy uses Helping Hand on Lucario - +3 accuracy, +10 damage and +1 skill check.
