Mightyena takes the hit as a mosquito bite. He whispers a growl at Otto with fury in eyes. He tackles Otto with everything he has plus more, with him out of the way the Mightyena looks towards Tully.
Gurner rolls around on the ground, confirming his lock on Jace. "Hahaha let's just sit here and watch Mightyena tear them apart shall we? My pokemon aren't to be underestimated!". He sees Tully armed and ready to brawl, "What's with that look kid? I'll let you try and stab me, but you have to watch out for your friend here hahaha."

Tully raises an eyebrow, before darting forward and behind Gurner, wordlessly calling his bluff - having someone in a hold was dangerous, but didn't leave you that maneuverable yourself. He goes for a quick slash at the back of Gurner's neck, moving both hands despite only wielding a knife in one of them. Fortunately, neither Gurner nor Jace can see that as he feels (but doesn't look, that's a rookie mistake) the item in his other hand: Gurner's dog tags. Easy enough to swipe as he cut through their chain. He quickly palms them before Gurner can turn around - with a bit of luck, the pain and his grapple will mean Gurner won't notice. He has no idea why they're so important, but even if they're not... hey, free jewel! Now he just has to get away from Gurner without dying. He looks around at Jace, still in a hold, and Otto, looking very battered already. Yeah, no problem. He gulps. Tully:
Shift: Move around behind Gurner. Standard: Use Thief on Gurner to do damage and steal his Dog Tags

Jace holds no illusions of being a fighter. Getting out of this grapple is going to be basically impossible. But as soon as Tully goes for the necklace, he bumps the Pokeball at his belt, setting free Shroomish.
Shroomish doesn't like what he sees and lands a Leech Seed on Mightyena. Now is his chance to show what he can do.

Mightyena is feeling very itchy on his fur. He could looks to finish off Otto before targeting the other.
"Why are you both so annoying! Just die ok!" Gurner takes out his knife and attempts to stab Jace, but he over shoots the area where his heart is.

Otto takes a step back from the hit, swaying woozily. He mumbles something to the effect of "I c'n take you, ya damn...". He takes a swing, still a metre away, and falls forward as he does so, thoroughly unconscious. Tully looks over at the display, taking a step back from Gurner. "Ya did good, Otto. Guess yer up, Cassie!" He quickly recalls Otto then pulls out his other pokeball (keeping the dog tags in his other palm and making sure they stay there) and throws it. Cassie comes out of her pokeball already moving, swooping towards the Mightyena and catching him with a wing. Otto faints.
Tully: Shift Action: Disengage from Gurner Standard Action: Switch Otto for Cassie.
Cassie: Shift Action: Close with Mightyena Standard Action: Wing Attack on Mightyena

"Help me out over here will you?" Shroomish tagging Mightyena was a good idea. He will keep healing Shroomish until he feints. At the same time, Jace didn't want to get made into a colander. Of course, Shroomish isn't the most agile, and he ended up hitting Jace instead.
Eh, you take the good with the bad. At least now he won't be stabbed now. Shroomish rolls with the hit, ending up between Jace and his attacker.

Gurner looks at the scene before him. Two fresh pokemon summoned and losing his only shield. He makes an irritated face and reaches for his necklace. "!!!!!!" He scans the area to look for his missing necklace, only to find it with Tully. He whistles for Mightyena, who was locked in combat with Cassie. Mightyena runs to his master and retrives him, a wounded Gurner crawling to Mightyena's back and recalls Luxio to his pokeball. They attempt to ride off, inside the forest.

"Not so instant about your killings anymore? Are ya?" Under that mockery belies a deep tone of a betrayed girl. Marietta assumes Gurner to be a tough opponent she needs help defeating. Perhaps then she'll just let Gurner go. She has been running here for nothing and she feels like feeding Joe something fleshy. Marietta continues, snapping a photo at Gurner. "You and Tim had one thing in common, running away even when odds are at hand."
Under the black darkness, Joe shadow figure appears behind Marietta, eyes glowing crimson red. What's rest is history. Like a predator having a prey right under where he needs, Joe disappears, or literally flash-steps in front of Mightyena, and mauls his head. Joe feels like he just scratched Mightyena's brain matter. In a heat of excitement, Joe swiftly brings down his bloodied claw on Gurner's skull.

Mightyena moves away from Joe, looking blankly into the forest. Mightyena falls shorty after, still moving his legs in the air for it is the last thing his nerves remember. Gurner watches his pokemon slain for no reason at all by some random chick, he can't help but look as Joe quickly targets him soon after. He flies off Mightyena's corpse and lays face first on the cold hard ground. "It was you, you're the one who warned them... HeheheheheHAHAHAHAHA. *cough* *cough* It wasn't those two that beat me, it was you girl."
A short silence falls down upon them
"Well, come on now. You kill my pokemon with your pokemon, now you HAVE to kill me using your own strength. You're almost on the path of a murderer. I'm sure any parent would be proud of their child doing something as fufilling as taking someone's life to further your own hehehe. We do it all the time, even if we didn't mean to. This way is just less dicreet."

Jace didn't have time to react to what he just saw. He was running on instinct and adrenaline at this point. With his superstar down for the count he was running out of plays. "Stop him Shroomish!" Jace stands up, running in front of Marietta. Shroomish likewise runs to Mightyena, standing on top of it. "That's enough Marietta, we're done here. Gurner isn't going anywhere with Tully watching him."

"Well..." Marietta shrugs and nonchalantly looks down, literally and figuratively, at the almost fainted Gurner. Unaffected by his moral-provocation, she wonders just what kind of mindset this serial-killer has. "The two guys were cornering you, I'm just the gatekeeper. " Marietta gives out a cryptic answer to counter Gurner's taunt, not really knowing its full meaning. Soon, Marietta sees Jace standing in front of her, hearing his proposition, Marietta crosses her arm. "Really? We got a lot of questions awaiting him."
Joe looks at the dead Mightyena, wondering about how this dark Pokemon taste like. His imagination is interrupted by Shroomish interference. He remembers seeing this Shroomish back in the forest, but he doesn't really care about him. He gives him an unhappy glare, its piercing gaze asking him to back off.

Tully looks over at the scene from a distance, making sure no one's looking. When he's sure, he places the dog tags in the inner pocket of his coat, zips it up and, just to be sure, takes the tag from the zip and places in his back trouser pocket. Ain't no one gettin' that thing out till I'm good and ready.
Having secured it, he jogs up, getting ready to congratulate Marietta on the interception... until he sees the dead Mightyena and J0oe looking at it hungrily. He looks at Marietta, his eyes promising a talk about this later, before looking to Gurner. "So, guess y'ain't so hot without yer toys, Gurner. Wassa matter, couldn't take a coupla kids?" He says, sounding more smug than he feels. He knows he's not the most intimidating figure, so straightforward interrogation isn't an option, but there are other ways to get information - it's amazing what people will let slip if you make them angry enough.
Normally, of course, making people angry is the last thing Tully would want to do, but it seems necessary at this point. Plus, its going to be a while before Gurner's a threat again.

Gurner looks on as the three approach him. He relies on his burning muscles and overeherted heart to power his body to a standing position before falling back down again, unconscious.

"There. See? We're done." Jace said in no uncertain terms. He returned Ace to his pokeball without looking away from Marietta. He wasn't going to take his eyes off of this maverick pokemon trainer.

Marietta fails to understand the ruthlessness of her action, she is confused even more by Jace's apprehensive maneuver. Her upbringing does not allow her to see her action as wrong. She looks through Jace and onto Gurner, doing the detective pose while grinning. "That's right, we should bring Tim V2 to Professor Spruce or Roderick."
Joe still looks onto Shroomish with the look of a thousand blade. He knows Shroomish is a herbivore, so why does he stand against him? Does he want a share of the pie? He's okay with sharing though. He's soon dragged back into his Pokeball. Marietta walks over and looks at the dead Mightyena. It now dawns to her what Gurner meant, Joe transformed this scary Pokemon into a pile of flesh. She is impressed, she has a strong Pokemon.

Tully facepalms at Marietta's seeming obliviousness. He lowers his hands, exhales, gathers himself and starts speaking, slowly at first. "Oh, sure, we'll be doin' that. But first, couldja maybe, if you don't mind to much, just explain to me WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS ABOUT?! Why the hell d'ya kill that thing - he weren't no danger no more! You just 'ad to take him down, not freakin' murder him!"

Marietta listens to Tully with bewilderment, in time, gradually turns into great annoyance instead. What were they saying? Are they trying to defend a murderer who attempted on their lives. Marietta crosses her arm, takes a deep breath and says. "Technically, you guys had a hand in its death. I have no idea you guys almost defeated Gurner. Last premonition I had, you were almost killed instead. Joe's Pursuit attack has somehow did the impossible by penetrating Dark Pokemon's ineffectiveness."
"No time to argue, everything may have been an unprecedented accident, the premonition is different from my expectation."

Jace shakes his head. "That doesn't matter. Even if Gurner deserved it, Mightyena didn't." Jace walks past Marietta, dragging Gurner behind him. Shroomish likewise follows behind carrying Mightyena. "There is no such thing as bad Pokemon." He looks over his shoulder at her. "Just bad trainers."
Ace and Gurner needed medical attention, and the latter needed handcuffs. The professor could wait for him a little while longer. Shroomish notices Jane hiding, and even looks at the Frogadier, but makes no other motion towards her. He just continues on his way, following Jace back to town.

"Maybe, but that ain't all!" Tully amends to Jace's statement, getting right into Marietta's face. "Even if no one else cares - the cops, the league, the real rangers, none o' them, which is already a stretch - you just ensured that that man," he points to Gurner, "will not stop. Ever. Until you, probably we, are dead. Probably with big heapin' helpin' o' pain thrown in. He'll follow us inta hell to get payback.
"Only way to stop it is to kill him too, wanna do that? Cause the cops'll have a problem wit' that. Couldja kill them too?" He thrusts a finger into Marietta's face. "You kill someone, anyone... it just makes more an' more problems. Ya don't kill unless ya got no choice. An' if you can't understand that and keep that... thing under control, we're gonna have a problem." He turns on his heels and walks away toward the pokemon center, fuming."

The three make their way back to town without a word breaking the night. The town lights are now back on and the streets are buzzing with pedestrians and vehicles. They pass the generator area and Marietta diverges from the group to check something out. Jace and Tully reach the pokemon center.
"*Yawn* Welcome to the pokemon center again! How may I he-", Nurse Joy holds her breath as the color drains from her face as she sees Mightyena.
