As the three walk down the street to somewhere safe, Roderick opens up one of the pouches on Slow Dancer's saddle and take out a medical kit and a bag of Burger Nidoqueen. While chowing down on the Wooper Burger(sorry, not sorry) he tosses M.I.A a potion to cure her of wounds. He opens up a checkbook and writes information on it, intentionally leaving the money part blank and turns it into a paper plane. He then looks back to the bank and launches it in the doorway. Also noticing that not one of them has made a move since Jace's declaration for peace.

"I mean, clearly this was a misunderstanding. Wrong place, wrong people, wrong time." He looks to Ace who puts on a happy face. "You didn't get a chance before Ace, but you can still do your thing now."
Ace turns to the Roderick and his Pokemon and bows his head respectfully, then proceeds to be his goofy self, bouncing back to Jace's side.
"I mean, you probably know more about Paradiso than we do, and we were hired by them."

Tully stares at Roderick, confused by his seemingly nonsensical actions. Who is this kook? And what was that he was sayin' about... He starts, suddenly worried.
"Wait wait wait, hold on, back up, what was that you said about poison?" He asks, still not lowering his knife.

Marietta lays both of her palms behind her head, Jane clinging her webbed arms on legs on her shoulder, looking intensely at Rodrick. The heist is a failure, but the only issue that disheartened her was Tim's betrayal, and having to follow her victim. Soon, she opens her mouth for inquiry.
"If both you and Tim are from Paradiso, why are you having infighting? I could hear a lot of mess coming from the earphone."
Meanwhile, seeing Tully feeling so tense, she pokes Tully left shoulder with her right hand, without drawing his attention.

His attention turned to Tully. "During the battle my Croagunk and I were exhaling poison from our bodies. Check yourselves, the fight is over but all of you have labored breaths. If the battle went on, your bodies would have failed to move eventually."
He hears Jace and Marietta's questions and he stops Slow Dancer in his tracks. He turns to face the three, his body is full of rage. "How dare those bastards use our name so easily! I'll make sure none of them sees the light of day after tonight! We have no more time to waste, we need to get that poison out of you or else... the best case scenario is that your body falls into a coma trying to flush it out of your system."
Marietta when you turn to Tully, you notice his veins were popping out all over his neck and head.

Tully jumps slightly at Marietta touch before blinking in confusion, noticing how slow his reaction speed was. He looks to Roderick, still wary. "Yeah, noticed the stink-sludge you were puffin' out. So, you said you were gonna give us the antidote? I take it you're gonna take some too, show it ain't gonna... you know. Call me crazy, but when a guy says he's just poisoned you, maybe you wanna make sure he ain't gonna poison you." Now that he's aware of it, Tully's beginning to feel the effects, though partially psychosomatically. Still, the slowing of his body is doing a good job keeping him calm.

"Alright, then give it here." Jace stretches out his hand to Roderick. "And while you deal those out you can tell us your tale. I don't appreciate being kept in the dark for so long and I'd like some answers."
All the while Jace is using his Psionic Sight to try and see if this poison is somehow based in psionics. Also, if he turned off his Sight while looking at Roderick then he might notice the shift in Jace's eye color. No good.

"Wow, that's some deadly poison you got there." Piecing the whole poison conversation, the carefree girl gets an antidote from her bag, placing it into Tully's pocket. "Perhaps this may help you, but you're gonna owe me one." Marietta waits for Roderick's answer, noticing how blatant his show of disgust and anger on the trio. She remains on watch for any untoward behavior from Roderick.

I give my antidotes to M.I.A Who proceeds to take more out of her mouth. In case I get captured its the best place to hide it. And to answer your question, no, I won't take a medicine to something I can't get afflicted to, just wait for your friends to drink it and see if they drop dead. Roderick marches Slow Dancer on down the road. I suppose I can tell you what's going on, your battle isn't done yet.
"As you know, Paradiso was an organization founded twenty years ago by a certain group of individuals that saved the future of the Nexus region. Out of the three founders, two of them are alive today, none of us have ever seen the boss of this organization but the other is basically the middle man for us. Over the years Paradiso grew in size, with all its positives and negatives. We had strength in numbers but I guess we had too much diversity as well. There is a group called the Royal Executive(that's me!) who leads a group with the work they are assigned. I lead a group of assassins. But there there are other groups that do things like science, industry, and pokemon league.
A few of members of one group thought it was not fair for the Boss to remain hidden in the shadows for so long, so they took it upon themselves to unmask his identity. Needless to say, it totally failed. They found they Boss and he/she personally killed them and sent their mutilated bodies to the group as a message for those who don't listen. They didn't take it too kindly and defected from Paradiso. We were freaked out too, but we have our own stories about why we swore loyalty to Paradiso. We got a call from the leading scientist in the region, Professor Spruce, that his work was stolen by a man I'm trying to find right this moment." Roderick takes out a suitcase attached to the saddle and opens it up, revealing colored orbs.
"You guys know about how everyone is getting crazy powers now right? Well the professor has found a way to materialize that power into these orbs. Just ingest one and then you'll be a freak like us!... But I can't let you have this, two more suitcases like this were stolen from him. I got this one from a few of Tim's goons and they dropped his name so that's how I was able to find him, but he's not the top dog in this area. There is a man named Gurner that might be here. My men enga-... no, they saw him and as he ran, all of them except for one was cut down one by one just after seeing him... I don't know what's going on but I've never seen a power work that fast before. I feel like something big is about to happen... not soon, but it's coming. Most of them never had powers to begin with so they would never be a match for us Royal Executives and the Boss, but I think that will soon change."
"Do you know why I'm telling you guys all of this? Because we're going to get back at that bastard Tim! You're all probably furious at being betrayed and you almost died for nothing too! Also, Tim knows my face now and I bet he probably thought you three died. So that'll be a nice surprise attack. I don't know where he is anymore but I'm pretty sure he's still in this town."

Marietta listens to the whole story halfheartedly, before making an observation. "So Paradiso is a organized crime group that somehow flourished Nexus region, sounds like Mafia. I can make a guess that we are just the lowest recruit and you are at least a rank or two above us, and there are ranks above you, and we must listen to you."
As for Tim's betrayal, Marietta only feels disappointment to her former leader, she crosses her arm as she continues walking. "Certainly Tim has disappointed us, but not enough to make me bloodthirsty, especially when he assumes us dead. You can keep those orbs, I'm not interested in becoming a mutant, challenging them sounds like a good test for my abilities, but If I help you with tracking Tim, what will you promise me... I mean, us?"

Roderick shakes his head vigorously, No, no, we're not the mafia at all! I mean, everyone should at least have the strength to defend themselves right? We also don't really have a ranking system, we just excel at what task we are given and the hierarchy figures itself out. Also, I never said you were one of us did I? I just want you to help me capture Tim to get back at him, then you're free to go. Roderick folds his arms together to answer Marietta's last question. The reason you're in this mess right now is because you depended on someone else's power right? Depending on what it is, I'll assist a little bit but ultimately you do it yourself with your own strength!

Tully sighs, lowers his knife finally and snatches one of the antidotes from M.I.A, taking it morosely. "Sounds nice 'n all, but I..." He stops himself. He could run away at this point, but with Tim out there, knowing where he is and having no reason not to sell him out, it'd be better to tie up that loose end. "Alright, I'm in, how to we track him down?"

Jace- When you use your psionic sight on the antidote you see Roderick and M.I.A. psionic imprint inside the vials.
Roderick shrugs at Tully's question. I honestly don't know where he is right now. He didn't mention where he would take yall after this?

"He's probably hanging out in a bar, sulking over his failure." Marietta recalls Tim's attempt to escape the heist together with Tully, shrugging and not really caring what she says. "Could've known more if you didn't stop Tim from doing whatever... ah.. whachamacallit... theft he was planning, probably another of one of those orbs." Her tone eventually shifts to a joking but carefree tone, now passing Pokeballs with Jane while walking.
"Alright, if you will assist me a little bit in whatever I had in mind, I'll assist you a little bit in finding Tim, but depending on the situation I'll leave your confrontation between you and Tim alone. So where are we heading first?" She turns her attention to Jace. "Jace, you're being awfully quiet, did the whole exposure got to you?"

Jace realizes that he has been staring at the antidote for too long and shakes his head. He grabs a pair and holds one out for Ace.
"Yeah right, I'm just trying to figure out what's in it for us? Like you said, we aren't Paradiso, why is this our problem?"
He gestures to Ace, who has the vial in his mouth and his head thrown back.
"Otherwise I think my time would be better spent training..."

Roderick gives Jace a dirty look and soon relaxes hie face, letting out a deep breath. "Fine, since you all wanted to join Paradiso so much that you were willing to rob a bank, I'll let you in. Besides, I got a lot of open positions now." Roderick lets out a big laugh, then becomes saddened again over the deaths of his comrades. He turns to Marietta, "Did he say something about a bar? I'm not familiar with Wind Drip town though. Don't you guys have pokemon that can track scents? M.I.A. is useless in that category."

"Ace can do it, he was just recently in contact with him." He looks down at Ace who is already sniffing around.

Ace get a lock on Tim's scent, it looks like he is located quite a few blocks away from where they are now.
Roderick looks into the saddle pouch once more and pulls out a tube and darts. He walks up to Jace.Nice, before we go take this. You must be the only one without a weapon. It's a blow dart that relaxes the muscles for a few hours, even a Machamp won't be able to land a punch, let alone walk. You have three darts to make 'em count. He turns to face the others. Are we all ready?

"All ready." Giving her temporary leader the head go, she turns to Jace and gives him a thumbs up, voice full of approval. "Good job on Ace, he's definitely going to be a prodigy, much better if he's evolved." Marietta then shows his Eevee the same thumbs up, winking at him, probably to improve his disposition. 1WqIlKpZ2d6 Charm roll for Ace2d6

Ace makes a face, but doesn't seem too upset.
"Yeah right, Ace is already way too strong for the bad guys."
Jace looks down to Ace, who turns in place.
"Lead the way, you're in charge now."
