Tully listens, his face carefully neutral. He honestly hadn't predicted Jace had that kind of depth to him and he was pretty impressed. On the other hand, he wasn't entirely convinced by his encouragement. In the end, he settles for a shrug.
"Maybe. But yer wrong on one thing." He says, putting a hand on Jace's shoulder. "You make bein' unremarkable sound like a bad thing. And lemme tell ya: not bein' noticed?" He smirks and hands Jace back the wallet he just pickpocketed from him. "It has its advantages."

Marietta gives the Liepard some petting on his head, presuming he will like that. The thought of carrying to Liepard gets into her mind. "They are the circus! They are the pioneer of Fairy Beast Circus in my region." Marietta declares with the pride of a million sun, defining her parents with high regards, seen clearly by her eyes closing and smug smile, pointing her thumb at herself. "The founder and master is Raphael, and co-founder is Brooklyn, the mistress of prediction. I'm their daughter, Marietta, the Swinging Red White Ball! I even set up the webpage to attract more attention." Her tone gradually turns solemn and softer, reminded of the current state of the circus. "But now that was unnecessary... It was closed down, and now I'm just a wandering acrobat."
The juggler takes a deep breath, and continues Ika's next question, coming up with the most direct explanation the two amigos she is with. "That guy who looks like Gary Oak? His name is Jace, an aspiring trainer obsessed with his Eevee, and as you heard, he's looking for a special Eviolite that increases his offense and speed. The other shady guy, he calls himself Tully, but his real name, I think it's Reese, seems like he broke off from some family. Both are strong trainers, if I follow them, it'll be easier to reach my raison d'tere."
Marietta takes a good look at the physical photo she is shown and snaps a photo from her Pokedex to recognize all the gym leader she may be facing. The one gym leader, the boy with the card interests her the most. "Ohoho, a fellow practitioner of circus art, I can learn something from him. If I follow Jace's quest to be a league champion, I may meet him. Where could he be at?"

Jace took his wallet back and was made sure everything was still there. "Or maybe the reason you are remarkable is because of your uncanny ability to go unnoticed. Don't think that you have to be a superstar to steal the show." Jace stopped, they had arrived at their destination.

"His name is Gavin and his gym is in Rossylne City. It's a pretty fun area. Sorry to hear about your circus though. I'm sure you'll find whatever you're searching for. Oh, let me get the map. Did you need anything else?" Ika, puts the flashlight under her face and tries to make a spooky face.
LPmDkqUY2d6 Intimidation roll for spooky face!
Jace and Tully continue their walk to Professor Spruce, one of them notices that a few of the emergency lights up ahead aren't operating, but they see beyond the trees that the lights further ahead are operating just fine. What will they do?2d6

Amused with her funny face under the flashlight, Marietta grins and swiftly snaps Ika's funny face with the light with her Pokedex. "Say cheese! Nice material." Marietta keeps the snapshot, if she wants a good laugh she may look at the "spooky" face again. "The map will be enough, some advice on the next town and gym I may be facing together with my team. Nice Liepard you have here."

Ika blushes in embarassment, "Why youuuuuuu! This is the second time I was defeated today..." She turn to her Cacturne. "Flynt, would you please get a map for our friend here? The second gym is in Hayden City, it's a huge place for gambling and ruffians. So please be careful talking to residents of that area. The guy you want to find is Travest, you'll find out what type he uses soon so I won't spoil the suprise."
Flynt comes back with a rolled up map of the reigon and hands it to Marietta, a few thorns are accidentally attached. One of the town workers comes to Ika's doorstep to talk about the town's power. "Hello Miss Ika, the generator is almost back on, but there was something weird about it. You said your emp might have broken it? But when we were working on it there was external damage, something eletrical ruined the current from the outside. That is why it took longer than anticipated, but it'll be on in a few minutes."
"Well if it wasn't my emp, then what could have slipped through an area that's under surveillance?"
ON THE TRAIL
The two boys wonder how far they still need to go, indifferent to the broken lights in their path. Above them, a shadow jumps in between them and attack Jace with a knife that bigger than your usual kitchen knives. As soon as that happens, two pokemon jump out of the forest for an ambush."They sent me out to kill a couple of kids? *sigh* nothing personal, but I guess this has to be personal."

Tully yelps and hops back, hand darting inside his coat for his knives. Otto, on the other hand, leaps off of his shoulder and lands in front of him, claws bared, eager for a scrap. OOCTully is on Initiative 10 Otto is on Initiative 18

"Hehe, thanks for the advice, I'll be careful in Hayden City, besides, I had a fair share of ruffians in my town before." Marietta chuckles at the advice, scanning her Pokedex at Liepard and Ika's Cacturne for some knowledge. "Awesome, so many Pokemons." Marietta praises Ika's ability to have. takes the map handed over by Flynt and begin looking at the nearest route to Hayden City, after picking up the Cacturne spikes she could probably use as weapons.
The conversation between the town worker and Ika sparks Marietta's cautiousness. "Foreign EMP device, or an electric jammer?" Her queries about Paradiso starts again. "Were there any incidents in this town before? Attacks from Team or criminal organisation." Marietta takes a step backward, believing it to be an enemy of Paradiso's attack, wanting to check it out.

"It's required for gym leaders to have pokemon of varying levels. What would happen if you had met Travest first and then me? Maybe you would be facing my Liepard and others. It's so we don't get caught with our pants down haha. And I can't remember any serious crimes in the past. Umbridge is a quiet town that usually gets low traffic until I became a gym leader. And the thought of people trying to attack me directly is ridiculous! If you mess with a gym leader, you mess with the pokemon league as a whole! No one can survive that onslaught!" Ika calms down and continues...
"Well, my emp's range was only the perimeter of the house. But I thought Pangoro messed something up. Anything can happen at any time."

Marietta turns to the town worker. "Are there any traces of the interference?"

"I didn't notice anything, everything was locked just the way we left it. I saw electrical burns and shorted fuses. It must have been a malfunction... but it's still weird..."

"That's a textbook EMP attack, where's the generator?" Marietta questions again, making a wild guess - Ika's weak EMP will only interfere the electronic device without damaging it. If it can cause electrical damage on the generator, it must have come from a strong EMP attack. Marietta looks around, suspecting someone might be looking.

Jace recoils from the attacker. What's with criminals and using weapons nowadays? Whatever happened to Pokemon shaped airships and goofy traps? Ah well.
"Focus down that Mighetyena!" If this guy wasn't going to play by the rules, then Jace was going to have to fight back with some real tactics. Focus down the enemies one at a time, dwindling their numbers starting with the strongest. Also, if the fire type is out of the picture Otto won't be at risk of being melted and Shroomish can safely enter the fray.

Otto snickers loudly and takes a couple of casual steps towards the Mightyena. He locks eyes with his fellow dark-type before suddenly swerving and diving, claws first, into the Luxio.

Before Jace has a moment to lament Tully's inability to control his Pokemon, Ace lashes out in his own rebellion, attacking the assassin instead of the Mightyena. Springing off of Jace, he smashes straight into the assailant's face, pushing him back. Ace lands between the assassin and Jace.

The man jumps back from the impact and spits out a bit of blood, Not bad at all. He points to Jace's Eevee with his knife. We have our first volunteer boys.
Mightyena immediatly pounces on Ace and collaspes his jaws onto him.
Luxio seems unfazed by Otto's fake and tackles Otto to push him away from the group.
The man goes in a combat stance with his knife. He notices Ace is very small so he runs up and launches his foot quickly in his face. But his reach was still too short.

Jace flinches, unable to move. Ace still stands between him and the assassin.

The man ponder's at Marietta, "The generator is a few blocks down the street, in an open area. Are you a detective in training or something?"

Tully's eyes flicker around the battlefield, pushing his panic down, though not his fear, and assessing the situation. Too many, need to thin 'em out. He quickly scampers around to the other side of the Luxio from Otto and let's loose a knife behind him, hoping he can take him down quickly. Tully's turn:
Shift action: Move around Luxio (though not next to him) Standard action: Feint Attack on Luxio.

"Nope, just your curious little girl looking for trouble. Thanks people." Marietta steps back then disembarks from the gym, and rushes to the generator. Marietta releases Jane, now a Frogadier, then carries her on arm, now twice as heavy as she was. Frogadier croaks and awaits her command. "Jane, be on the lookout for anything." Frogadier heeds with a croak.
