*Knock! Knock!* "Travest? It's me. I think I left something in the bathroom a while ago."
A female voice disrupts your conversation.

Tully raises an eyebrow at the nurse. "If they did, I'd know it - they tend to let ye know 'bout that kinda thing. And not through a nurse, either. 'Less you got somethin' to show, I'm out. Good luck, though." He turns aware a touch curtly and starts walking away, slowly enough that she can stop him if she does have something.

Jace sighs. One hour is all he needed... He holds his hand under Ace's head. "Spit it out." Ace spit the little capsule out into Jace's hand. Slimy, but still in one piece. Jace pocketed the thing and then answered the door.
Before even seeing who it is Jace says; "Travest left a while ago..."

"Hehe... that does sound bad for your goal for being a Nexus Pokemon Champion." Marietta tries to juggle between communicating with Jace and trying to insert a new circuit board into the new case. She will need to make a new container to hold a recovery item. Her responses are all made monotonously, without her usual carefree and high-pitch tone. She really needs concentration. "Don't worry, your secret is with me."
The sudden knock from the apartment begins to disrupt her concentration. Marietta makes a hasty inquiry. "Ask her what she is looking for, I cannot be disturbed now."

"Ok, you must be the trainers... I came over to this apartment during your challenge and I think I left my ring in the bathroom. Could you fetch it for me or can I come in?"
As Marietta glances around the bathroom, she sees a ring with a small gem embezzled in the center on top of the toilet tank.
At the Pokemon Center...
Nurse Joy was at her wits end on trying to persuade Tully to accompany her to the casino. "*Sigh* It's supposed to be a lady's job to play hard to get... I tried my friend, I'll be going to the casino with or without ya!" The nurse sticks her nose up to Tully and briskly walks out the Pokemon Center.
From the sliding door, you see something crawl outside from the corner of your eye.

Marietta said she couldn't be disturbed... ah well, too bad so sad. "Hey Marietta, you see the ring she is talking about?!" Jace shouted towards the bathroom. He was conflicted. He didn't want to be rude, but he also wanted this woman gone as soon as possible so he could get back to what he was doing.

"Yes, there's a ring." Marietta reluctantly gets up from her working area and picks up the ring, unlocking the bathroom door. Not bothering with the mechanical smell emitting from the bathroom, Marietta passes the ring to Jace. Marietta does want to sell the ring for some quick buck though, but knows she should not do that.

As Jace opens the door, he meets eye with a woman. She looks around your age, but her previous tone of voice says she's a few more years older than you. Her jet black hair flows down in large curls, with sky blue eyes anyone can get lost in. Wearing a dark blue sleeveless dress, you notice black tattoos on her right shoulder that resemble triangular cuts that go down to the middle of her bicep. Her facial expression seems rather annoyed at first, probably the trip back up here, but her lips curl into a smile after showing her the ring.
"Nice! Thanks for finding it!" She robot claws the ring out of your hand and puts it on while moving away at the same time. "I hope you guys taught Travest a lesson. Cya around, trainer." She says as she begins to walk away.

"That woman could have been the one giving me the pajamas." Marietta doesn't think too much of her, but it is possible they may meet again.
Marietta knows Jace is going to return to his psychic training. She closes the bathroom door to resume finishing her first Medical Case. She drills a hole and fits in a container that allows instant potion or healing items usage. The electronic circuit should automatically consume the potion whenever the trainer or her Pokemon wants to.
Almost finished with her Medical Case, she thinks maybe Jace or Tully could buy it from her for a nifty 200 to 400 Pokedollar. She is making another one later anyway.

Jace sighs. Nothing for it now he supposed. Jace sat back down and Ace put the pill back in his mouth. It's fine, he didn't need to start over, the ritual takes an hour, but it doesn't have to be continuous...

Tully opens his mouth to say something when he notices something seem to crawl away. Frowning a little, he goes outside and looks in the direction it seemed to go, being careful not to be too obvious about staring at it.

As you exit the Pokemon Center, you see a Sandile scurry across the ground past Nurse Joy's legs and into the merchant's area. In this area, you notice it's near a textile shop with many fabrics of different designs spread across the ground and hanging up. Most of them have a striped design...
Roll perception to find Sandile among the textiles.
You have to squint your eyes and concentrate for this one. You see Sandile sit idle on a reddish-brown/black carpet.

Tully raises an eyebrow. Seeing a pokemon wandering around the city on its own isn't unknown, but it's not exactly common, either.
He slowly walks over to the Sandile, making sure to move slowly and non-threateningly, his hands hands visible to entire time. When he gets to around ten feet away, he squats down so as not to tower over the little pokemon.
"Hey there, little fella," he says, softly and slowly, "you okay there?"

Sandile turns his head to face Tully, his mouth slowly gapes open.
The merchant of the stand begins to approach you briskly. "Hello there young lad, do you fancy what you see there!? That carpet you're looking at was made in Mohaganny Town in Johto."
Sandile, with its mouth still open, shifts its legs away to the left in case of a quick getaway.

Tully flicks his eyes up to the merchant, making sure not to move his body. "Maybe, I'm just lookin' at the moment, give me a while an' I'll let ya know."
With his left hand, he lays it flat in front of him and lowers it gently a couple of times in an "easy, there" gesture.

Sandile sends a warning attack by clamping down on his jaws, creating a sharp 'snap' with 500lbs of force to start.
"You really are a weird guy. Spending your money on a carpet?" Nurse Joy leans over Tully's shoulder to see a Sandile. "I think I saw a vendor selling cooked Sandile tails a few blocks away before I came to work. Little fella must've gotten away. He won't get very far since their natural habitat is the dessert, oh well."
Sandile becomes rather annoyed and explodes in the air. Leaping past Tully and biting Nurse Joy's coat with flames streaked across its mouth. Sandile hangs on to her coat as it begins to singe. To make matters worse, the Fire Fang Sandile bit into Nurse Joy's alcoholic flask. Now fire is beginning to drop on the ground like liquid and the coat even further ignites.

Tully looks around as the nurse's coat begins to catch fire. No extinguishers around, could use one o' these carpets as a fire blanket, bit expensive thoug-
His thoughts are interrupted as the nurse's flask explodes and, acting on pure instinct, he throws his hands forward and a burst of water springs forth, rushing over the nurse, dowsing the flames and thoroughly drenching her coat.
Caught entirely unaware by this but thinking quickly, Tully rushes forward and helps her out of her soaking coat. "Where the heck did that come from?" He says, hoping the woman would be too distracted by the small problem of being on fire to have checked what direction the water landed on her from. "Aw geez, now yer coat's all wet - 'sa nice coat too." Behind his back, he pointed towards the Sandile and then into a nearby alley, signalling it to hide while he kept the nurse distracted.

Nurse Joy freaks when she notices her jacket on fire and tries to extinguish it with petite jumps, also unlatching Sandile from the bottom. After the gush of water falls on her, she calms down a little bit.
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! What? Where did you get that water from???" She looks down at her clothes and wrings the water out of her styled hair. She takes a deeth breath and says, "Can't walk into the casino like this can I? ha... Well, whatever that was, thanks kid. Even though you got me into this mess."
Sandile sees Tully's movements and scurries over to a corner.
She walks over to the fabric stand and wipes down with a cloth. "What? You think you can just waltz right in here and use my stuff?"
"Oh no one was going to buy this one anyway! It's so ugly and it feels rough on my skin! " She lays some soggy pokedollars on his desk and head back toward the pokemon center. "I may act different from my many sisters ,but it's my duty as a nurse not to get sick out here. I need to be at 100% to treat people and pokemon who are worse off. If you're able go to the Vilani party at the casino, tell ,Marcos Vilani, I said hi! You'll know him when you see him, he's the most handsome of the group! haha" And with that, the flirtatious nurse leaves for the center.

Tully suppresses a shudder at the nurse's parting words - it's entirely possible that it's just a coincidence and she doesn't know who she just informed of that fact and why it might be a problem, but either way, it doesn't bode well. Yeah, think I'm gonna be keepin' clear o' that, thanks.
Shaking his head, he follows the Sandile before, again, lowering himself a good distance away and keeping his hands visible and unthreatening. "Got yerself quite a temper, there, doncha? Well, ye don't gotta worry 'bout me - I ain't gonna hurt ye or sell ye out or anythin' like that. Trust me, I ain't that brave. I'm just wonderin' 'f there's anything I can help ye with."
