"Oh I have my bet! If I win this match, you have to accompany me to the casino in the afternoon!"
Alakazam smirks at Joe and wants to try him, since he looks like the strongest in the party. Alakazam waves his hand at Joe and purple blades run through his opponent.

While Joe is deciding who is the next victim to become his dream snack, one psycho cut from Alakazam cuts his chest. Joe makes a small moan of pain. He checks his new wound, and although it is a flesh wound, Joe glares at his challenger, Alakazam, with intent to payback. He smirks at his foe, seeing him as the mightiest among the three. He circles around Alakazam and leap to his side, waving his hand and slaps Alakazam with his claw.
Marietta remains confident about victory, but his bet against her afternoon freedom interest her. "Hoho, that is if you win."

Alakazam is hit hard with the attack. He wobbles a bit, he braces his knees and stands his ground and successfully measures Joe's output damages. "Keha! That's the best he can do!"
Espeon sits down and smiles at Ace, rhythmically swinging his tail on the ground. He wants to test him as well, but not as easily as Alakazam did. The challengers aren't to be trifled with. Espeon's tail brings out stars that home in on Ace, creating a small dust cloud on impact with him and the ground.

Jace smiles as Ace takes the hit surprisingly well. A move like Swift is dangerous though, as Ace won't be able to rely on his speed to avoid it. No, they'd have to finish this fight in one go. This won't be a battle of attrition. "I see that your Espeon is smiling. That's probably because it doesn't know that Ace knows a dark type move." Jace points toward Espeon. "Full power, no holding back!" Ace rushes forward, going for what he believes to be an easy finisher. However, Espeon is faster than he anticipated and dodges out of the way. He doesn't stop there, quickly whipping his head around for a second bite, this time landing a hit.
Ace shifts to Espeon and uses Bite.
Jace uses Strike Again! to give Ace and additional attack.

Tully looks over the battlefield - Ace seems to be okay with Espeon and, given the choice, he wouldn't go himself nor send his pokemon anywhere near that psychopathic Zangoose, so that leaves one target.
"Musharna's doin' all this, take 'em down, Cassie."
Cassie squawks her agreement with Tully's reasoning and flies across the battlefield, ramming into Musharna.

Espeon winces in pain. He manages to swing Ace off of him, now on all fours preparing the next attack.
Musharna sees Cassie flying near her, seeing as she is unable to move from an airborne strike she takes it all in. She is barely fazed from the attack as the force from Cassie slightly lifts one of her legs off the ground. Travest makes a dispirited face, "Are you using a weak pursuit attack because you think type effectiveness is everything or is that your strongest attack? Jace had the idea of ending now, because from now on this battle is one sided! Even after coming all this way I never thought you would have the leisure to test whether my team can take a hit." He pulls out a brush from his pocket and starts grooming his hair. "End this Selina so we can go eat..."
On the sidelines, Strongarm Travest and Wizard Travest watch on. "Haha, this battle looks like it'll be wrapping up quickly according to the leader", Wizard Travest declares.
"Hmmm... What makes you say that..."
"Have you ever heard of a samurai battle. They are the euphoria of art in the bloodiest form. They only last for a few seconds because the blades are designed to cut through bone rather easily. Those challeengers are no joke and I feel that both sides took major hits. The tides seems to be favoring our leader, but they all look like they can only take one, maybe two more attacks. A single mistake will cost the battle and they made the mistake of underestimating his team by using weaker attacks. Maybe"
Musharna responds to her master's wish and cast Hypnosis on Joe. The sleep-inducing rings moved forward but Joe was too fast to get caught.
All three Travest look on with mouths wide open.
Alakazam is barely startled by this and continues the attack, not giving Joe a millisecond to recover.

Joe notices Selina's presence creeping on him, feeling the danger Selina posed, he quickly leaps away from the Hypnosis rings, but not quick enough to dodge an attack made of waves. Before he has chance to roar in pain, he is immediately turned into a red beam. Another red beam trades place with Joe and Jane appears, to the naked eyes, it is as if Joe has suddenly turned into Jane in an instant. Marietta is already anticipating a dangerous attack and immediately switch her Pokemon's position with a swift play of her Pokeballs.
"Take out Espeon!" Marietta points Jane towards Espeon. The cool frog fires black waves of compressed pride and arrogance straight at Espeon.
The overconfident and swift juggler remains grinning at her perceived victory, but gradually feels the exhaustion from moving around. Marietta pants.
Jane initiative = 30 for one round.
Marietta uses Quick Switch at Joe, changing him to Jane.

As soon as Espeon breaks free from Ace's bite he is taken out by a dark pulse. The abruptness of it doesn't slow him in the slightest. He's off in a blur, sweeping around in a circle behind Alakazam. Now flanking with Jane Ace begins his assault on Alakazam. "You seem to be forgetting something." Jace quips. "Samurai duels tended to be one on one." Indeed, if the three of them all attacked Alakazam, he wouldn't last very long at all...
Jace uses Critical Moment to give Ace a boost to his speed, initiative, evasion, and saves.
Ace shifts around to the other side of Alakazam and uses Bite on him.
Ace's initiative is now 25.

Wizard Travest gives a confused look. How can he hear us from so far?
Espeon shrieks in pain from the attack and emerges from the darkness still standing. His eyes gently close as the orb on his forehead powers up for one last strike at Ace. The outcome is unknown to him as his body falls without disappearing into smoke. Alakazam wanted to go for a killing strike next turn with Joe, but he is surprised when he is switched out with Jane. He is slowly falling behind on her speed and is unable to prevent to attack to Espeon. His eyes wander the field for Ace, but it was too late. Alakazam's eyes rolled to up his head when he perceives Ace's Bite attack too late. Travest recalls them both.
"Is this it for us?" Strong Arm Travest growls in disappointment. Even his battle had a bit more challenge than this.
"I have undying belief in our leader, but I'm afraid victory is lost to us my friend. He put all his eggs in a basket he called Selena. The trick was to put them all to sleep one by one so Alakazam and her could use Dream Eater off them. A frightening strategy indeed, but no one could have predicted that whiff."

Tully raises an eyebrow at Travest's claims. It seemed like a decent strategy, but not foolproof enough that he'd want to base his entire battle plan around it.
Also, how exactly do you fall asleep in a dream, anyway?
He shrugs. The answer to Travest's question of why Cassie had used Pursuit was that it was the best she'd got at that point, but even if it wasn't, she might have lead with it, just so she had something in reserve.
He doesn't say any of this, of course, as there's no percentage in him doing so. Instead, he just lets things play out as Cassie gives a consoliatary squawk followed by another ram.

Musharna once again is only slightly fazed by Cassie's pursuit attack. "Victory is not even close to you yet! Mistakes were made but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed." Musharna spins towards towards Jane. Even as fast as she is right now there seems to be no way to evade the slow spin. They collide full force, launching Jane in the air. "Now that is a hit! I don't want to see anymore love taps from the three of you."

"Jane!" Feelings of surprise and horror boosts Marietta's impromptu scream as she sees Jane flying on the sky motionless. Marietta quickly switches Jane for Joe, and positions him further away from Musharna. Joe's roar of pain resumes. He then scans the area and see his foe Alakazam missing on sight. He quickly sharpens his claw, preparing for combat.

Unafraid even after that display of power, Ace zips around behind Musharna, setting up for another flank with Cassie. He gets a particularly vicious bite in on Musharna, setting Cassie up for the final blow.

Cassie raises a feathery eyebrow. Were she capable of shrugging her wings in mid-flight, she would have done so - at this point, she honestly doesn't see much of a point in making a display of things.
Besides, she doesn't like how this guy pulled them all into this dream and was messing around with her trainer. Partially because she does kinda like Tully, in spite of everything, and partially because messing around with him was her job!
As a result, she's not especially inclined to listen to Travest as she lazily flaps over toward Selina and purposely gives a mediocre hit, along with a slightly mocking squawk.

Musharna flinches at Ace's bite and jumps at the pain. "Will this be the final blow!?", Wizard Travest is on the edge of his seat as he spectates the climatic conclusion to the fight.
Musharna is rocking back and forth from tiredness, she begins charging another Gyro Ball for one last hoo-rah. But Cassie ruins all the build-up and anticipation with an intentional love tap, fainting Selena. "Ehhhhhh!" The three Travest fall on their knees. With a wide grin and a vein popping out, Travest says this:
"I announce you three, as the victors!" When Selena plunges to the ground, the castle begins collapsing, starting with the roof. Everyone dies, the end...
The Solrocks are up and the Pidgeys are out! The time is 10:00am, Jace and Tully are in the bed and Marietta is on the couch in her pjs. Everyone wakes to the smell of something delicious. All of your Pokemon are outside of their pokeballs and Travest is looking outside with Espeon on the balcony. Musharna is rolling around on the floor and Alakazam is cooking multiple dishes of food using Telekinesis while reading three books.

"Daddy!" Marietta screams for her dad's presence as she watches helplessly at the collapsing rooftop. In an instant her scream continues not in the dreamscape but on the couch. Jane is sitting next to her, worried for her trainer.
Marietta gives her frog a hug, giving both of them comfort, reassurance and relief. "So glad you're doing well. I had a nightmare that you're defeated. There's no way you can be defeated." Jane returns her hug and plays along, she feels responsible for worrying her trainer after that painful Gyro Ball attack.
"Time for breakfast Jane..." Now greeted by the aroma of cooked food, Marietta gets out from the couch... and finds out she's back in her pajamas, Joe grinning eagerly at Alakazam, obviously wanting to eat here and now, and Travest sitting at the balcony.
"Ahah! Intruder gym leader!" Marietta alerts herself and jumps out from the couch and confronts the gym leader. "You didn't do anything physically on me, did you?"

Travest stops gazing at the raising sun and turns to see Marietta. She sees that his face is freshly bruised with a few knuckle imprints. He puts his hands to his face for defense and explains. "Ah, not me. I couldn't leave you in that tub so I got my lady friend to get you out. Especially when you all dozed off for two days. Yeah sorry about that, it never occured to me that people still take baths at night rather than the morning."

Marietta frowns upon his justification, scratches her head then crosses her arms. Soon she decides to forget about it, so long as Travest doesn't touch her. "Ahh, that explains this PJs, and we're out for two days? I got some questions for you."
"How did you manage both the casino and the gym? Who informed you we were challenging the gym? Where do you first find your Abra, Kadabra or Alakazam?" Marietta then makes the thinking pose, then relaxes and grinning. "Ahah, you said if my group lost I have to follow you this afternoon, is that a part-time job in the casino? I'm always looking out for money."

Travest sighs at the barrage of questions, he leans on the balcony railing while explaining. "I never said I owned the casino, I just have a few shares for being the gym leader. My gym is at the top floor of the casino, but I rented it out for the weekend(today is sunday btw). To prevent trainers from coming in at the wrong time I had Ika and Jeremiah tell me if any trainers were coming my way." Travest laughs obnoxiously at this part.
Ika told me a group of three people were coming in to challenge me. I didn't know you would fly here though, but it was much easier to spot you all. She also said that the girl disappeared and Ika was looking everywhere for you. So now I guess I have to call her and let her know that you've been found. And no it wasn't a job opportunity, it wouldn't be a bet if you got money out of it!" At this point Travest was regretting ever bringing up the subject of gambling. This girl would waste every cent given to her if she's near a table.
Travest turns his face to the sun again. "Bah forget it, I just needed someone to walk in the casino with me as if it were a date ya know? Like how high end gambler walk to tables with ladies in their arms. Now, to fulfill my end of the bet, the place you'll to find Abras and Kadabras in Urban areas. I found my Abra on the outskirts of Pharren Town which is a bit before the 5th gym along your way."

Jace and Ace had a much more calm awakening. Ace was not in the backpack but had in fact found his way onto the bed. Jace hears the conversation in the next room and emerges from the bedroom. Ace lazily stretches and follows behind.
"Breaking and entering? You're quite the vandal Travest." Jace said mostly in jest... mostly. He sits down on the couch, facing away from the balcony. He sees that it was Kadabra who was cooking breakfast. "Hey, maybe you could teach Ace to cook!" He looks down to see Ace's reaction but he was gone. Ace had gone out onto the balcony to sit next to Espeon.
Jace turned around and leaned on the back of the couch. "So did this count as a gym battle? We weren't exactly in a gym..." As always, Jace was going after a badge. If it didn't count, he was sure that they would win again.
