The train extends its stay at the station to hand over the thieves to Officer Jenny's district. Satin gives a smile in return with a surprised look. "Woah man~~, nice dialect." He moves closer to the crew, giving Tully and Sana a quick inspection as well. His gaze stays on Sana for a noticeably longer period of time. "Thanks for stoppin' those guys, you don't meet many people that'll stick their necks out for others around here."
He plops in the aisle seat next to Jace. He shuffles around in his pockets and takes out an Odd Keystone. "That bag is filled with them! Finding 'em on my outings and makin them shine is a special hobby of mine. I understand they can be, super valuable man~~ so I can't blame thieves for tryin' to coin em."
The train attendant tries to move down the aisle, but is stumped by the barrier. "Um... A mime trick?"
"Name's Satin. Who're you two?"

Sana immediately notices the Odd Keystone as a container that can trap Spiritomb inside. Needless to say, she recognizes how dangerous these ghost Pokemons are. "Yes, aren't those keystones dangerous?"

Not wanting to let on that he was the source of the telekinesis, Jace hadn't budged a bit. He let the barrier drop once people started interacting with it, giving it the effect of vanishing.
"We're just a couple of gym crawlers heading to Santa Ou to challenge the gym," he looks down at the bag. "Anyone use them for Spiritomb? That's what I heard they were useful for."
Ace, who was unimpressed by the would be thieves, lets out a yawn that seemed too big for his face. He then curled back up and continued his nap. So much for having him out as a fourth sentinel.

"No need to worry 'bout that!" Satin knocks on the stone. "No Spiritomb were harmed in gettin' em. Probably."
"Cool man~~. I'm meeting hella co-" Jace and Satin hear a low moaning coming from one of the stones and out comes Gengar rising like a charmed snake from the seats. He takes a phasing gnaw out of Jace's head.
"Gengar what the the hell ya doing? What's gotten into you?"

"Gengar!" Jace was shocked to say the least. He playfully swatted the Ghost-type away from his head. "This is my Gengar, we recently got separated. I'm surprised to catch up with him so soon." Since he hadn't really fallen asleep, Ace sprung up at the sound of Gengar. His tail wagged as the little Normal-type also took some swipes at the ephemeral Gengar.
"It's a good thing too. The gang is back together just in time for another gym." Obviously Satin didn't know what he was doing, but Jace felt thankful all the same. "Thanks for holding onto him. He can be a bit difficult to hold down."

This news takes Satin by surprise. He sees the happy three and the edges of his mouth bend. "I'm a sucker for happy endings man~~." This time he does a quick run down of Jace. "It's strange how you aren't tethered yet. You must be real popular with the ladies in that getup. Travelling with such nice people, getting stronger with each milestone. Oh the envy man~~." He smiles, you can tell in his eyes he's kicking and screaming at himself. The train car begins to rumble for a moment, but you're unsure if that was caused by one of the wheels hitting a rock or something.
A lightbulb goes off in Satin's head. He slams his fist in is palm. "I got helped out twice by the same group today. The least I can do is serve up some grub. In my city, there's a Johto restaurant that serves huuge portions of seasoned rice man~~. It's the next stop, Ico City, you'll love it."

"Sure, why not?" Jace's first instinct was to keep going, but the truth is that they hadn't recovered one hundred percent from their fight with Zed. Not to mention, on the outside they were just on a normal pokemon journey. That meant taking detours every once in a while. Hopefully Paradiso saw it that way.

Satin nods in agreement and waits anxiously in his seat for the train to stop. Gengar drops his shoulders, continuing to hang out with this person was not what he had in mind. "Welcome to Ico City!"
Once the group is out the train, they notice something eerily different. The train travelers of Umbridge Town and Hayden City surrounded them with a hectic, but graceful resonance that welcomed you to the community. Ico gives a rather dark outlook in comparison. Even the train announcer sounds cheerless. Most boarding the train are endlessly looking down at their feet, unforced to be bothered by anyone else. One of the men try to impatiently board the train, bumping into Sana. He apologetically clicks his tongue and moves himself onboard without giving her a second though. Another bumps into Satin. Before giving Satin the same treatment as Sana, he looks up.
"Sorry!" which comes out as a squeak. The man's eyes become saucers as he rushes onto the train. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beyond the broken cobblestone road lies a stark town. Graffiti decorates the buildings and sounds of alarms never seems to end. When one is silenced, two more take its place. The people walk in the streets with no crosswalks, they walk on the weeds creeping through the cracks. The people drive their cars and motor cycles as if no laws existed on them. And no matter where they walked, someone would always greet Satin on every corner. Either with a wave or a slight nod, Satin would always answer the call. Overlooking all this anguish is a grand cathedral made of white stone. Anywhere you look while facing the the East, the church will always remain in your peripheral vision.
The group finally reaches the restaurant that Satin was referring to. Flavor Without Logos, a family owned restaurant.
This should not be here. There should only be one of these restaurants in existence, in Proamario City. Tully knows that more than anyone. One thing the group notices is how the building doesn't fit in with the outside scenery, this restaurant shines with life! Just hearing the commotion and smelling the dishes gives you that jolt of awareness of your being! The owner, and elderly father beckons you four to stop gawking and come be seated.
