Marietta nods, and believes the few guests in question is either her and her two friends, Roderick and Tim or another Paradiso members. She isn't going to peek too much, not when she's playing the "new trainer" guise. Marietta asks some question, to broaden some knowledge. "Tell me more about your field of research and expertise."

The professor gives a confident look, as if he has perfected a reply to this question that was asked many times. "I am the leading professor of the Nexus region, I study the relationship of type variations between Pokemon and humans. 15 years ago I was one of Professor Oak's students and I came to the Nexus region to see the phenomena of people naturally obtaining the powers which were once exclusive to pokemon. This only happened in Nexus and nowhere else for some time. Other cases have popped up in Hoenn and Jhoto, but nowhere near the amount here."

The same thing Roderick told her, she even see two people obtaining Pokemon power, becoming mutant in the process. "Would this phenomenon happen to anyone randomly? Is there a criminal organisation lingering around this region? I heard a disturbing news about Dialga and Palkia slaughtered, is it possible?"

"I wouldn't say it is all random. Every human being is born with a specific type variant. It's just random on who has the potential to awaken it. I don't really know how one can activate it yet... In due time I suppose. Criminals??? I haven't heard any recent news about organized crime in a while. There are small time thugs that pop up every once in a while but they are quickly dealt with."
Once hearing Marietta's question on Dialga and Palkia, he drops further within his seat, "Yes it was quite shocking wasn't it. Although it is possible to kill them, they will not stay dead. They will reincarnate once again."

Marietta nods and moaning occasionally in agreement. She still find it hard to believe there are no organised crime in Nexus, after all, all region got to have at least one, likely the renegade Paradiso team Tim was in. "Are there any newly discovered Pokemon in Nexus?"
Marietta stuffs her Nexus Pokedex into her pocket, and brings out the other Pokedex she is having, giving the professor a look at it. "Lastly professor, this Pokedex once belonged to my father, who went missing together with my mother. I have a feeling they may be in Nexus, is it possible to locate his position with this Pokedex?" Now sounding more serious and eager, Marietta hopes for the Pokedex being a clue to finding her father.

The professor and his assistant are in deep thought...
The professor speaks up, "Sorry girl, but there's really no way to track someone if they don't have their pokedex on hand. As far as I know the pokemon league doesn't track the movements of trainers via gps on their pokedex... But the pokedex does record the day you first reach a landmark! Like a town or an old shrine. So maybe if you look where your father has traveled you'll find a clue yeah?"

"The log, oh yeah!" Marietta doesn't know why that obvious thought didn't cross her mind back in her hometown. Now that she gains a pointer, Marietta checks her father's Pokdex for logs relating to her father and mothers' latest achievement, or any reason for why they went away for war.

You check your pokedex and the three most recent landmarks Marietta's father has been to was:
Gate of the Sun 9/1/20XX Aria City 11/28/20XX Oar's Rest Port 12/28/20XX
The assistant peers into her pokedex, "Geez those places are extremely far away. Was your dad like an adventurer or something?"

"He is a circus performer, an acrobat, juggler, tour performer, and knows a lot on the trades of circus. He brags that he made a parkour throughout Kanto." Marietta answers in admiration of her father, her mentor who sets her up to be the great girl she is. She then notice the third entry. Oar's Rest Port - a week before her birthday. That was a few days before her parents were gone from her. This question has been on her mind since. Did they really went for war? Are they alright? What are they doing?
"Are these location in Nexus?" Marietta hastily checks the map of Nexus, hoping to locate the port from the map. If it is a Nexus landmark, she will be able to locate them sooner than she thought.

The assistant looks up to her, "Yeah but it ain't something you can take a train to in a day. Like I said, it's pretty far. The port is on the other side of Nexus. I can't remember where Aria town is and what even is the Gate of the Sun?"

"Treasure hunting, definitely one of dad's way of turning the tide on our circus's funding." Marietta declares this theory confidently, with what limited hint or clue she has. She continues her sentence, more sombre than usual. "But they didn't return, went for war and the circus is torn down.
Marietta keeps her father's Pokedex, resuming her normal confident tone. "Well, good thing is my parents are likely in Nexus, and since Oar's Rest Port is far away, I'll need to assemble a stronger Pokemon troupe." Marietta looks around the lab, then to the lab members. "Thanks alot Gerald and Professor Spruce, I'll be back after tackling the gym." Marietta sets her current goal, defeat Ika and get her gym badge, then check her Paradiso acquaintances for an update. Marietta feels like she spent an hour, feeling that she should meet her comrades, she slowly steps away from the lab, probably expecting a few words from Professor Spruce, and to look around some mechanical scraps the lab members don't need.

The professor and assistant wave to Marietta, "Those dates were from a long time ago, but I'm sure you'll find clues along the way right? And good luck at Ika's ok?"
Gerald notices that you're getting closer and closer to the machinery so he tries to disrupt what you are doing, "Hey don't get your filthy paws on our equipment!"

Marietta ignores Gerald's harsh warning and leaves the lab, he is too paranoid for her liking. Returning to the main city, plans for another elaborate prank to surprise Jace and Tully. She checks whether Jace is standing near a tree.

FLASH TO THE GYM The pack of three arrive at the house that is certified as a Pokemon League Gym. At the door is a butler who greets the group, "Hello and welcome champs in the making. Ika is the owner of this specific gym. She is one of the eight leaders scattered around the Nexus region. She specializes in dark type pokemon, ones that go bump in the night. Now, I must ask of you trainers-to-be... are you ready for battle?"
The butler opens the door and a chilling mist leaks out of the opening. Otto the Sneasel jumps away from Tully and runs full speed inside the house. The house doesn't appear to have its lights on and the sun is setting so it's slightly hard to see what it inside.

Jace was so worked up with trying to prepare for the gym battle he totally forgot about the gym itself. Hopefully there won't be any nasty tricks waiting for them inside...
"Alright Ace, it's show time." Ace gave a nod in agreement. The two of them march in to the house together, ready for whatever happens.

Tully raises an eyebrow, not used to being on the giving end of a scare (or so it seemed). Shaking his head, he follows Jace in eyes darting around looking for any surprises.

Marietta turns on her father's pokedex, shining it in front for light source. She remembers that the gym will have some trainers standing around, and a trainer is going to challenge Jace.
Marietta confidently walks forward, expecting a challenger soon.

The butler hold the door open for you all to enter the dark house. He looks at Marietta as she turns on her pokedex, "electronics won't do you any good in his house my dear."
He is accompanied by a booming voice that is transmitted through an intercom inside the house. A voice that belongs to Ika, the gym leader. "He's right you know! What good is this darkness if you can use artificial light? My challenge is 'Hero in the Deep Dark'. You must navigate through this house and fight me in this darkness. My pokemon and I have no problem in here because of my bad eyesight and their darkvision ability. I am the only challenge in this building so feel free to be at ease... if you can. Our imaginations tend to go on the wild side when we're left vulnerable like this. Oh and Murkrow guy! Otto says he has taken a liking to you. So if you beat him can you please take him on your journey?"
And with that the intercom cuts off. Another sound comes from underneath the flooring of the house. A low rumble shakes the floor and Marietta's pokedex cuts off. The three are left with what little light the sun is casting... barely able to see each other's silhouette from a few feet away.

Jace scowled at that. Ace would be fine, he had a great sense of smell and hearing. Shroomish, on the other hand, not so much. Now the uphill battle went from bad to worse. But that's okay, Jace wasn't afraid. "Ace, see if you can't sniff 'em out." Ace had encountered the gym leader earlier that day, so tracking her should not be hard.
Needs an 8: _1NddCQ72d6+1 That wasn't the only thing that was on Jace's mind as he followed Ace in the dark. What kind of trainer just willingly gave his Pokemon to another trainer? The idea was completely foreign to Jace. Never in a million years would he let some stranger walk off with his Eevee. What kind of person was this gym leader anyway?2d6+1
