"Probably accounted for." Marietta can just extract the memory card and place it into her phone, but she better ask Ika's permission. Maybe she can find leads to Oar's Rest Port, or anything about Nexus. She "borrows" the digital camera, then walks to the right passage.

Now Jace realized what that sound was. At first he thought it was a furnace, but now he figured out that it was in fact a Pokemon. He couldn't make it out in the dark, so he thought it best to just try and sneak on by. Let sleeping houndooms lie and all that. Stealth: UaqIyeBD2d6
Ace stealth: 2d6+1 2d6·2d6+1

Jace and Ace (wow...) underestimate how far they needed to avoid the sleeping pokemon. Unfortunately they both trip over something as big as a hairy log. The sleeping pokemon jerks itself awake and begins to stand up. The floor underneath Jace begins to shake as the giant pokemon adjusts itself. It looks down upon the two jokers and lets out a thundering roar that rolls through the whole house.
A few minutes before...
Marietta goes into the room right of the stairs. It seems to be a very fancy bathroom

Realizing his mistake, Jace quickly goes for plan B. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out half of a candy bar. Holding it out in front of him, he does his best to show no fear, although it's hard to tell anything in the dark. "Sorry for waking you." Jace said holding the candy out invitingly. "We were just looking for someone. Have some candy..." Ace couldn't see what was going on, although he tries to act his toughest (behind Jace). Judging by the fact that neither of them have become dinner, his bribery seems to have worked. Still, Jace couldn't make out what this behemoth was...

The pokemon goes in to smell Jace's candy. It puts Jace's candy holding hand in its mouth and uses its tongue to grab the candy. Jace soon feels his body being lifted and carried by the giant. After some walking, the pokemon slides a door open and tosses Jace and Ace in a room.
The room is illuminated with an oil lantern hanging from a hook so you can see clearly. In this room is a bunch of pipes that connect throughout the house. A medium sized, spiral-looking machine is installed on the wall. Also, the giant panda pokemon, Pangoro, sits patiently outside the doorway with his arms crossed.

Despite being in pitch black darkness, Marietta stands and look for anything in the bathroom that peeks her curiosity. "There has to be something in this rich girl's bathroom, the top floor definitely has something else to see." She even check the bathroom for any traps that might hinder her. Joe remains inattentive, but stands behind Marietta, scratching his head with his paws. If the bathroom really does not have stuffs to explore, she is going downstairs to check anything see somehow missed.

There's nothing on the outside, but you check the cabinets and you find a bunch of different make-up, towels, and any other bathroom essential in abundance. There are also no traps in the area.

For girl who never apply makeup in her entire life, Marietta blankly stares at the beauty products, looking disinterested.
Deciding there are nothing much she can do, Marietta returns to the center of the pathway, double checking for paths she might miss before going downstairs.

Tully pauses, briefly overtaken with fright as the roar runs through the house. Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of whatever that i- he then hears Jace talking to it. And course he would.
He scampers quietly up behind them, just about seeing the size of what's carrying Jace off in the dark. Geez, don't know any 'mon that big I'd wanna fight. Still, best keep an eye on 'em.
He follows them quietly until, just before rounding a corner, he feels a wing on this shoulder, telling him to stop. Peeking around the corner, he can just make out something fairly big standing guard where Jace had been taken. Ducking back around the corner and slipping round another, just in case the jumbo 'mon came back that way and saw him, he stops. Kieeping his ears open, he waits, listening for either the big thing to leave or Jace to need help. Only the latter of which he was sure of.

At first Jace didn't know what to make of it. But then he decided to do what he did best, go for it. "You must be Ika's Pokemon. I'm trying to find her so I can challenge her to a battle. I'm, uh, not very good at seeing in the dark, which is why I ended up waking you. Do you think you could show me to where she is?" Odds are this Pandoro was in on the challenge, but Jace had his doubts. Why would it be sleeping down here in the basement if it was supposed to be in on the gym's challenge? Perhaps the Pandoro will take him to Ika just on the principle that he will be able to go back to sleep if he does. Ace sat down beside Jace, trying his best to not look delicious.

Marietta returns to the intersection of the stairs, she is also returning to the darkness unlike the two dimly lit rooms. You feels the walls and you find a few doorknobs that cannot be twisted open. While doing this, she hears the roar erupting from downstairs.
Meanwhile... Due to being just woken up, Pangoro does not hear Tully creeping behind...

Startled, Marietta turns around to the sound of the roar. After a long while of meaningless investigation, Marietta finally feels invigorated from meaningless walk in darkness. "Alright Joe, ahead of me, go!" Knowing the gym leader has sent a monster for her, Marietta commands Joe to go ahead of her. Joe walks ahead of Marietta, swings around his claws, sharpening them, all the while dancing himself to the floor, and confront the source of roar. Marietta follows behind, going to see what Pokemon she is facing.
Joe uses Sword Dance. Attack DB+2

___ ___ | | <-Sleeping Poke Room | | | _ _| | | Jace's Loc | |_______| |_______ |_____________________? ^ Tully? Still in the doorway, the Panda Pokemon carefully looks at Jace. He then points his finger to the right in the unknown darkness. MeanwhileWhile Joe and Marietta are whiffing the air in front of them on the first floor, they notice a draft coming from their left.

Jace smiles in response. "Thanks!" It would seem that Jace's theory was correct. This Pangoro was not a part of the challenge. In fact, Jace will probably not even have to fight this behemoth. Good. The less fighting types that he has to deal with the better. Jace puts his hand on the wall (farthest from Pangoro) and follows it in the direction that was indicated.

Joe enters the left room together with Marietta. Marietta takes a closer observation around the room, while Joe dances his claws around, his sharp and serious eyes being on guard with whatever inside, very likely where the roar comes from.

After surviving the trip(lel) to downstairs, Joe and Marietta begin to travel the linear route. Cassie notices the two swinging closer and closer towards them.

Cassie indicates the two coming up to them to Tully, who can't see exactly who they are, but can work it out by process of elimination.
Tully starts to go to warn them, then pauses. It doesn't seem like the two are in any danger, and with them as a distraction (something he's learned Marietta is quite good at), he might be able to slip past the Pangoro. As such, he clings closer to the wall, looking to wait and see how this pans out.

Marietta follows where the corridor leads, while Joe continues dancing with his claws, waving around like a sword dancer. Joe suddenly stops his track. Surprised, Marietta ahead of the lighted corridor, and sees Pangoro stands in her way. Believing the league rules apply to the gym, Marietta walks towards him and looks squarely at the strong panda. "Are you the source of the roar? Is that a challenge?"
Joe however, knows that this Pangoro is league stronger than him, and holds fire for now.

The Pangoro opens one eye toward Joe. He shifts his big body parallel to the wall to make enough walking room. Taking the pose of a Slaking, he pays no attention to the two.

Marietta sulks like a kid not given her candy. This uncaring expression coming from Pangoro is not acceptable to her. She wants to jolt excited reaction from this Pangoro, make him realize he's got a lot of stuffs to see. "Hey cool panda, watch this." Marietta tries to get Pangoro's attention, and takes out 3 Pokeball from her pocket, then juggles them on the air, careful not to over-strain her healing chest.
