Jace avoids walking where the crowd is thickest, determined to find a little spot to himself in a park or something. So logically, if he just avoided the crowd he would find such a place. This also makes moving around gradually easier as Jace escapes the crowd.

Marietta's side You approach the gym and see that it's a pretty big tourist attraction. People are taking pictures in front of the gym and just generally loitering around the area. You see a pretty big guy guarding the door and he seems pretty annoyed at all of these things happening around him. You draw his attention as you approach him. "What beef you got here?" he asks in a laid back tone.
Jace's side After walking around for a bit, you find a suitable park that doesn't have too many people, but outdoor activities people are doing are still around you.

Marietta loosens her eyes and gives out a cat smile, glancing at the bouncer. "Hey nice guy, I'm an aspiring Pokemon trainer, soon I may have to challenge this gym, can I have a tour inside? Oh, is there a spare room I can borrow in this gym, or a cheap motel?"

The bouncer quickly replies to Marietta. "No tours, if you're making beef with the boss today then we have a guest room available. 2 hour limit."
He talks on his headset for a bit and another guy opens up the door from behind him. The bouncer steps out of the way to let you inside. When you walk inside the gym, you see that is has a glass room to let light in, but no windows on the sides. The first area looks pretty empty, just a red carpet leading to a door across the room, but you aren't headed there. The man takes you to the left corridor from where you entered and shows you the guest room which contains a bench, a water dispenser, a few chairs, and weights.

After finding a little spot to call his own, Jace released Breloom from his pokeball. It was alright if he did this training in public, he just wanted to try and get Grimer acclimated to the team. He also wanted Ace to get used to his new abilities.
"Take these Breloom." Jace gave him the HP up. He noticed that after evolving Breloom became not as... stout as before. This should help him out not only now, but in the long run. Jace took a peek at the perimeter of the park. "Now both of you give me a lap around the park." He wanted some alone time with Grimer...
He released Grimer from his Pokeball.

"Thank you nice guy." Marietta bends herself, bowing gracefully like she finished her show. She follows the man inside the gym, leaning her arms casually behind her head. "I'm visiting the gym for now, think the gym leader, Jeremiah is free for a short talk?"
She scans the whole guest room, and makes a glee smile. "2 hours, more than enough to create lots of good Pokeballs." Marietta gets onto the table, flips open her sack of Pokeball parts, opens her Pokeball Tool Box and begin assembling several Great Ball. All she needs is to insert a few stronger circuit board inside.

As you release Grimer from its pokeball, the smell from the previous battle comes back to you. Its less potent that before, but its still a smell. Like frightened horses, other trainer's pokemon in the vicinity are losing their composure around the Grimer and slowly backing up.
The grass underneath Grimer begins to rot as he snarls at Jace
Roll command or whatever you feel is necessary to calm Grimer down
Marietta's Side The guard suspiciously looks at Marietta, "We don't usually let people see Jeremiah right now, but since you got this far I'll ask."
Tully's Side "Your stride is all wack! Your face says you want to get into a fight! Nothing wrong with that though, respect!" A hand grabs your elbow in a way that you can't take out your knife unless you make big movements to free yourself. A moment later the hand is released and you see a wide-grinning man wearing a hoodie and sunglasses. "Your brain probably says 'hide! hide! hide!', but your heart is crying 'fight! fight! fight!'".

Tully raises an eyebrow at the stranger - he was right about his brain, but not so much his heart. As usual, Tully in no way wants a fight, but experience has taught him that this situation may well lead to one and if it does, he wants to get out of it alive.
No need to tell him that, though - he thinks I'm scared and weak, he might start somethin'. He'd be right, but still... He takes his hand out of his coat, but not before secreting a knife up his sleeve, just in case.
"Maybe." He says after a moment, adopting a false casualness in his posture. "What's it to you?"

Jace holds up his hands in front of him, revealing them to be empty. "Hold up now, I think we are on the same team." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his Paradiso emblem. "I know your previous owner, Roderick. What happened? Did you get separated?" Jace wasn't quite sure what the whole story was, but he hoped it wasn't a case of negligence on Roderick's part.

The man scratches his mohawk underneath his hood. "What if I told you I'm an assassin sent to kill you, but now that I see the difference in our strength I want to mess witchu for a bit." He looks at the people around them. "Also I have little disregard for the collateral casualties I create in the act." He pauses for a moment to get Tully's reaction, unable to hold it in, he breaks his poker face. He talks again, but more confidently.
"Nah, just jiving around. I pulled you over because I wasn't diggin' the groove you were walkin. You want to go incognito with a long coat and those pretty blue eyes, but you're also looking to lay someone out at the same time. I'm not the 5,4,3, or 2, but the number 1 dragon type trainer in Nexus. It's Jeremiah Afenya!" Jeremiah pulls another pair of sunglasses out to give to Tully. "You look like you can hold your own in a fight so I reckon you won't need these. Walk tall little bro."
Jace's Side Upon seeing the emblem, Grimer looks like he's calmed down a lot. Grimer brings out its vermilion hands and show them to Jace.

Tully takes the sunglasses, his eyebrow not lowering even slightly. "Thanks. I guess. They looks good." He blinks in confusion as Jeremiah walks away, waiting until he's out of earshot before saying out loud. "The hell just happened?!"
He looks down to the sunglasses in his hands thinking for a moment before tucking them in his lapel pocket, not wanting to put them on until he's had the chance to take a closer look at them.
Shaking his head, he ducks into the nearest large, uninhabited alley and releases his Pokemon. "Okay, guys, looks like we're goin' up against a dragon trainer this time. Way others tell it, guy's a real powerhouse and way I tell it, since I just ran into 'im, guy completely wackadoodle! Way I see it, that means we're gonna need to up our game a little and you know what that means?" A grin works its way onto Tully's face. "That means fightin' dirty."
An chorus of enthusiastic murmurs spring from the three pokemon at the prospect.

Now it was Jace's turn to be confused. "Did he make you this color? Or are you a shiny Grimer?" No, Jace was pretty sure shiny Grimers were green. "Don't tell me he abandoned you because you were this color!" He waited in between questions to see how Grimer responds. If Jace knew what was up with this little guy then he would be able to reason with him.

Grimer nods to Jace's first question, shrugs at his second, and denies the third question. He imitates a stabbing action with his hand.

Jace scratches his head in confusion. "Were you attacked and separated?" Honestly, it didn't matter too much now that Jace thought about it. "Look, do you want to get back to your original owner or not? Either way I can help you out." He realized that wasn't a yes or no question. "Nod if you want to go back, shake if you don't."

Grimer nods his head again to Jace's question. This next one was a doozy. Grimer nods his head, but turns to Ace and Breloom to go run with them.

Jace was content with that. With Breloom getting used to his entirely new body and Ace on the cusp of reaching a new power level he didn't have time to keep track of a troublemaker. That said, Jace was pretty sure he could trust Grimer. After this training session, he was pretty sure that Ace would be fully ready to tackle the next gym.
But before that, Jace would need to get himself a license.

"Yes, take your time." Marietta nods in agreement, and begins soldering and trimming the circuit boards to fit a Great Ball. In excitement, she declares."10 Great Balls here I go!"

After a while, Tully emerges from the alley. Overall, the training session, such as it was, had gone well and they were all prepared to fight as Dirty as possible. Cassie, in particular, had shown herself to be able to harness dark energies to bolster her physical attacks.
There was a slight problem, however - Otto, despite his typing, didn't really know any ice attacks, preferring to slash things to pieces wherever possible. Which, in all fairness, he was excpetionally good at and tended to put down most opponents, but against dragons, having an ice attack up your sleeve could prove useful.
So Tully makes his way towards the centre of town, hoping to find a move tutor who could help.

Marietta's Side The two hour limit wasn't up yet, but you're just about done making your Great Balls. You hear thumping noises underneath the floor in the guest room and a bit after that across from where you layed out your work space, you see part of the floor being raised.
A man wearing a hoodie and sunglasses comes out of what seems to be a secret entrance. He looks at you in shock, "What the- Do they just let everyone in here now?" He goes to the door and peeks out so see if any guards are present.
Jace's Side Jace visits to public service station to gain permission to use his telekinetic powers without worries. His number is called up and he goes into a room with three other people.
In this room you are told to sit down at this table holding three spherical balls. The three people sit at the opposite end of the room. One of the people inquire while pulling up your identification. "Jace Synod... Can you demo what abilities you want the public eye to see?"
Tully's Side At the town center, you notice a one or two move tutors in the area. Their pricing is located in the windows.

"Not just anyone!" Marietta finishes giving her Great Ball the needed blue finish and stands up, turning to Jeremiah with a coy smile.
"The Red White Juggler Marietta, right here she's about to become the Rainbow juggler!" She lets a few of her Great Balls to roll onto her shoulder. With a slight tilt she brings the ball onto the air, chucking a few Pokeball together and juggling them on the air.
"Supposed you're Jeremiah? I'm here together with my friends to defeat you and claim your badge! First, a juggling show, think it'll draw the crowd's!attention outside away?
