"Sana honey!" A welcoming voice comes through. "Your father and I are A. OK!" You hear a Pokemon barking in the background. "Snubbull also says hi! How is your Pokemon adventure?"

Sana forces herself to uplift her mood. She is glad to hear her welcoming family's voice again. "I just got my 6th badge today." It does not take long for her mood to wane. "I... I visited a Paradiso facility, a...and... I've seen something I shouldn't." Her back leans against a pillar, sliding down until she sits on the floor, her legs slowly curving into a fetal position. "After hearing yesterday's news, I'm scared..." Sana begins sniffing.

"Ah, cleaning the floor. That's what I forgot to do today." Says the assistant as he sees Sana crawl in despair.
Sana's mother replies in a calm voice. "I don't know why you could be upset about the news from yesterday, everything was positive and uplifting. One thing about the Sana I know is that she can't give up or lose hope. As the cheerleader's job is to raise the team's morale to the very end, no matter how bad the outlook. Carry that burden and toss it out the window!"
A voice radiates from the background of the conversation. You can assume it's Sana's father. "Moonlight, you are a pokemon trainer. You're going to be seeing all kinds of things while travelling the region. Funny things, sad things, miserable things, lovely things. It's how you respond to then that will affect the world. I believe you and Joy are spinning up something good."

Perhaps reminded that as a cheerleader she cannot afford to mop in a corner feeling fearful, Sana sends her sorrow off to the phone, attempting to wipe off her despair on her voice. "I know, thank you, I'm trying my best, just I'm worried... for everyone. Mom, dad, my friends..."
The cheerleader explains her fear, omitting the alternate reality doppelganger which may confuse anyone. "Just... be careful with people from Paradiso, their members had just killed Ika's friend, and likely replaced a body double Grump."

Her parent's come to a halt. They were used to their daughter saying weird things. Even more so after her school field trip. Her mother stammers a bit over what to say. "W-well, I think I like this Grump is better than the one we got haha. Wasn't Jeremiah part of that guild? He's such a nice fellow! I would think he could intervene."
"Yeah I'm willing to forgive and forget!" Says the confident father.
------------------------------------------
"You're right, T. There are plenty of ways, but if looks like they're very diligent on trying to make this meeting low-key. You guys are their best chance at it and I bet they'll try to keep you on their plotted tracks."
Travis and the professor's assistant gasp at Jace's idea. "How many concussions have you had!"
"You're out of your mind!"
"You got lucky and beat one of their guys. You want to bring TWO over here!?"
"The professor doesn't want a ruckus! And I don't want to clean up blood againnnnn!"
Mariatta closes Jace's Skymall device in the drawer. "Couldn't have said it better myself, Jace. Weeding out the herd so the path to their boss clears. You wanted them to come to us now?" Marietta looks around, as you certainly have a numbers advantage

Tully gulps. "Yeah, you sure about this, J? I mean, yeah, we need to... but we could..." He sighs. "Look, I'll follow yer lead on this one, but I ain't too sure 'bout it."

Looking around, Jace could see everyone's doubt. Not just their doubt in his plan, or their doubts about being able to fight Paradiso in general. What Jace saw was everyone's doubt in themselves. All of a sudden they had lost faith in their own abilities.
But Jace didn't lose faith in them. Not for a second.
"Look, it feels impossible now, but you know what else was impossible?" Jace said, addressing the entire room. "Defeating Nadar. We trapped a literal god inside of a Pokeball. We fought a dozen abominations and that was just a warm up! And then we took down Giratina." At this point Jace was hyping himself up, so it jumped onto a table. It felt right.
"Compared to all of that? Taking down Paradiso will just be another day. And we aren't alone in this fight. We have almost the entire League at our back." Ace lept up beside him, striking a heroic pose. "And if not us then who? Who will save the world from tyranny. From ending up like Marietta's but with a few different names. The world needs us now more than ever."
Jace walked across the table to where Sana was sitting. Hopping down he offered his hand to help her up. "I've seen you guys work miracles. What's one more?" In this moment, Jace was not blustering. They would not fail. They inherited the fate of the world. Its future was in their hands.

Her parents dismiss the potential threat of Paradiso. Sana soon realizes that her danger sense may have jumped the gun, imagining negative scenarios that have not happened. Is she the only one feeling such dread? Does the entire brass of Paradiso in agreement with this?
The timid girl soon sees Jace offering his hand to her. Despite her self-perceived lack of contribution, she is needed. Trusting that her parents will be safe, Sana ends her emotion therapy to herself. "Sorry, and thank you. I will weave a new tale for my friends, I'm going to make Nurse's Joy's Audino a champion of Nexus."
She takes her rival's hand, helps herself up.

Tully sighs, a slight smile beginning to tug at his lips. "Was afraid you were gonna say somethin' like that. Okay, guess we're doin' this. If we're gonna die, might as well make it interestin'."

"...Ok, I'm in. Just don't let me fight." The assistant finally gives in. Marietta mentions Kuki and Yozora aren't very hostile so they'll definitely use the front entrance. Offering up the assistant to answer the door.
"You can count on me to make a pokeball look like a cracked masterball! Should I put a confetti explosion in there?" Says the older, more sensible Marietta. "If an evil god-like being really is trapped in a masterball, I don't think those two would open it on the spot."
"Do you have a plan for when they come? If anything, Alakazam can knock one of them out."

Can they be reasoned with? Or at least explain Tatsumaki's motives? Sana hopes this does not turn into a violent confrontation but can be reasoned with. There must be a reason why the Boss does not ask her to hand over the Masterball to Tatsumaki. "I'll talk to them, they must have a reason."
She hands over the Pester Balls to Marietta, the ones she got from her attempt to rescue Hayate. "Ms.Marietta, are you able to identify what these pester balls do?"

Marietta inspects the colorful ball. Shaking them around, even smelling them. "Oof, it's the kind that definitely spews out a noxious gas. I haven't seen these in a while. You set them off here and the lab will be stenched for the next few days."
"You have a plan for them, Sana?"
--------------------------------
Whether due to pure curiosity or self-preservation, Tully glances around the Professor's library and sees a collection of stones behind a glass case. Ranging from evolution stones to diamonds, he spots one that catches his eye.
A stone that matches the one Ace has around his neck, an everstone that can boost the powers of Cassie. The professor is working on his supercomputer and the assistant is too busy hyperventilating over Jace's plan to notice Tully's observation.

Sana comes to the conclusion that it's Poisonous, although she wishes it will induce Sleepiness, so she asks again. "Does it poison the target or induce sleepiness?"
"If they enter through the front door, I'll talk with them..." Her speech gradually turns more stiff like a closed room without fresh air, standing upright with her fist closed like a student asked to confess their crime in front of a school principal. She is still fearful and doubtful. "Mr.Tully may pass the fake Masterball to them, they should trust him. But... "
She gulps, remembering about the omnious masked people with rorschach behind their back. "That is only assuming it's only them and their Pokemons. Yes, Marietta, you know anything about Paradiso members with rorschach behind their back?"

Tully's fingers twitch a little as he sees the stone he's been hoping to acquire. He looks around, seeing how everyone is distracted and calculating how easy it'd be to snatch. He could easily take the stone and no one would even have a chance to notice. Heck, with all of the stones there are, the Professor probably wouldn't even notice it was gone. He could easily steal it from... from... from one of his allies. One of the guys he needed to trust and who was helping him and his...
Tully sighs, a slight growl in his throat. "Dammit, J, Diddy." He mutters under his breath. "You guys are a bad influence." Shaking his head, he turns to the Professor and forces the words out. "Hey, Professor. Looks like you got a stone I been lookin' for, hoping to give to Cassie to make her stonger - somethin' we're probably gonna need in this fight. Don't suppose I could persuade ye to lemme have it?" He winces, bracing himself for either outright rejection or a very high price.

Spruce turns around to see the boy pointing to the stone of his choice. He hesitates over the list of choices he can give to Tully for this inexpensive stone.
"I suppose I can give it to you. All I need in return is for you to run into town and get some medicine and supplies. It shouldn't be too long as everything is readily available here." He tilts his head over to the table where you see a grocery list of items, including medicine. "$10,000 should cover the cost of medicine. The groceries are coming out of your pocket. Consider it a small price to pay for a rock. You can take it on your way out."
------------------------------------------------------------
"No, I haven't seen any members fitting that description a lot of people tried stopping Nadar but I couldn't stand seeing it all. The pesterball is the poisonous type, usually they're not lethal if you get help within a couple of hours." Says Marietta who sweats over crafting a Masterball from a normal Pokeball. "If Kuki and Yozora are coming from Aqua Delifier City, then they'll be here within 2-3 hours..."
"Since Tully will be out for a bit, shall we rest up for our big plan?"

"May I have a piece of paper?" Sana requests humbly, it has been a while since she makes good luck charms against ghosts and she may need some.

Travis hands some printer paper over to Sana as he brings out Musharna. "All this talk of putting people to sleep is making be excited!" He shouts with a new vigor. Memories rush back to the second gym challenge, recalling Travis putting you all to sleep as he creates the daring dream world. "I won't be a part of this bait and switch scheme, but I got something that'll help in a pinch."
He puts two bottles of Dream Potions on the table. Before leaving, he gives Jace a look of approval. "Good luck in the Pokemon League, bro. Vell, The Fighting Lion and I may be brothers, but his skills are on a different plane of existence." He reaches out for a fist bump.
-------------------------------------------------
The assistant takes another look at Tully. "I'll come with you to pick out which brands to buy from, it'll go faster with two people... Also I feel like trouble is always standing on your shadow. Just a gut feeling is all." A presumption cries from the assistant, will he be right?

Tully snorts. "You got no idea. Alright, c'mon." He leaves, a little slower than he was hoping to, but worth it to allow the assistant to keep up. That said, he is still watching the assistant carefully out of the corner of his eye - his explanation wasn't off exactly, but Tully's not taking any chances.

"Thankies, Travis." Sana collects the paper and a Dream Potion. She folds and tears the paper into 3 evenly sized strips, evenly spaced the papers into a 5 centimeters in between. She takes a seat, closes her eyes and prays for her presumed "goddess" Diancie again, for her powers. Sana creates 3 Tag Scribes.

Tully and the assistant spend the next hour buying groceries at the Umbridge Town mall...
The mall, isolated from the events of the regional news, encloses the chaotic economy of Sunday shoppers, partygoers, and pokemon trainers. All types of people clash in the disarray. You notice that the assistant becomes more relaxed as well. You can also assume that there are no watchful eyes or personal malice targeting you at this time.
All together, the groceries put Tully back $1,800. Which makes him think, outside of the free healthcare, being a Pokemon trainer is absurdly expensive! Tully and the assistant follow the autumn path back to the Professor's place. "-And I put on such an act for the Mr. Mimes they ended up giving us ALL their berries." Tully drifts back to the assistant's story of the ransacking Mr. Mimes.
Roll perception!
---------------------------
About seven walking minutes from the lab, Tully hears something causing a stir of the leaves nearby. He spots a humanoid rock structure leading off to the side of the trail.You can hear the sheer density of it as everything underneath is perfectly flattened. From behind, it looks like you're going in the same direction this bulky build is going.
