Because of their injuries, Marietta and Tully were checked into the pokemon center after the gym battle. Jeremiah was also in the hospital for a sprained ankle. Out of the two, Marietta had the worst of the injures due to being hit point blank and revived to continue fighting. Nurse Joy wanted her to stay the night and release her in the morning for one last checkup . Jeremiah requested his bed to be specifically next to Tully's so they can 'party all night'. He thinks you two are getting along great... His posse came along with him as well. Photographers and other paparazzi were trying to get the latest scoop on Jeremiah, but thanks to Amira and the other guards they are unable to enter from anywhere. Jace was not touched once during the battle and was given permission to visit the hospital anytime to check upon his friends. Some reporters are letting their imagination drift by putting a label on Jace's freedom within the hospital grounds, calling him Jeremiah's protege. Marietta was bedded in a different wing in the center for more severe injuries, but she was able to come by often. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5X_INqMJMEThe time is 10:00am and Nurse Joy has just finished checking up on Marietta. Her and Amira walk down to Jeremiah and Tully's room. Jeremiah sent his posse out to get food before everyone leaves, it seems he hasn't had this much fun in a while. He begins trying to do wheelies in a wheelchair. "When I was a kid, an old man told me that the universe can be mine if I can balance anything!" He yells while exiting the room doing said wheelie. "You like seafood? Everyone's gone to the local market to pick some up for us and I forgot what everyone craved haha!"

Reporters? It made sense Jace supposed, as the Pokemon Center near a gym would be bound to be packed with interesting challengers. Still, Jace was more interested in Jeremiah. What was he doing out here with them?
"I think that I got my fair share of fish after your gym challenge, thank you very much." Jace was leaning up against a wall, chilling out with Ace. Ace wasn't happy with not being able to compete, but a few minutes of consolation and a cheri berry he got over himself.

Jeremiah chuckles and lets the front wheels down. "Whoops, if you're still around I'll treat you to something later homie! Amira has all your prizes, but she's gone to get shorty. You three put on quite the show back there. Once your bodies get into the groove you'll have no problem moving on to the top of the food chain with your pokemon. They probably respect you even more now since you fought for them." He says as he and Ace fist bump.
"Tell me something, do you seek battles to gain more power or do you seek power to battle more?"

Marietta begins a question with Amira. "Opinion on this organisation Paradiso?"
Soon, the room door swiftly flips open followed with a loud bang. Marietta is there, her usual wide open mouth smile on her face with her leg uplifted before retracting it. "How about the opportunity to spook people?"

Tully rolls his eyes, his head turned away so Jeremiah can't see it. He's spent the previous night alternating between terror that the paparazzi outside might see him and recognise him and annoyance at his room mate. The only thing keeping him sane has been his pokemon - Xander has been apologetic that he let his ball get stolen, despite the fact he had no control over that, Otto has been annoyed that he never got to use his new attack and Cassie has taken to flopping around on the floor like a Magikarp to poke fun at Tully.
How screwed up is it that this is what I find comfortin'?
He sighs as he considers Jeremiah's question. His first thought is that he doesn't seek either. But then again, what is power? Having the ability to decide whether you live or die is a kind of power - his favourite kind, in fact. And if it came down to a choice between battling, having that power and living and not battling, not having it and not living... yeah, he'd chose to battle.
He shakes his head and resolves to keep his mouth shut. Even if he was confident in his answer, there's no need to ruin Jeremiah's image of him, as annoying as his presumptions make him.
Still... Tully thinks, looking over the sunglasses he gained in their first encounter, it ain't all bad.

"Do I fight to gain more power or do I seek power to do more battles?" Jace scoffs. "Neither. I'm not some thrill seeker." He smiles at Ace. Thinking about why he was even doing this in the first place took him back to the day they met.
"They say that if you apply enough pressure to coal it will turn into a diamond. That's what I aim to do with my Pokemon. If I apply enough pressure to them, they'll finally shine like they deserve." Jace scooped up Ace into his arms. "I battle for the nobodies and the Eevees out there. I want to show them that they can shine too."

Amira smiles a bit at Marietta's question. She starts swinging the suitcase holding the prizes a bit more. "Jeremiah is the most carefree person I know; he marches to the beat of his own drum. Part of that is because he's strong, the strongest. There are others like him that are strong, but they all act so different. It's weird how all these strong people huddled together despite their personal motives. I don't really know why, but Jeremiah tells me when I get strong enough and see the second-in-command I'll have my answer. Is it because his pokemon are strong? He's stronger? Only time will tell..."
---
"Yeah, yeah I can dig it. I'm still searching for the answer myself, but I don't care enough to lose sleep over it. You may have realized it, but all us gym leaders are thrill seekers. Behind the veil of testing aspiring trainers, we're addicted to the battle more than anything else."
Jeremiah sees the two girl walking up to their room. "Yo! Amira-chan, Marietta-chan. You have the goods?" The two get confused as to why Marietta kicked the door when they reached Jeremiah, but they'll let her do her own thing for a bit...
"Of course!" shouts Amira, as she opens up the brief case. "*clears throat* Congratulations on completing the gym challenge. It was hard fought so please accept these items! In the case is the Vorpal Badge, the TM Dragon Tail(to no surprise), and $15,000. And it's almost time for us to go back to the gym isn't it?"

Finding out the room is empty, Marietta turns to her group. The apparent lack of suitable reaction from her peer irritates Marietta. She flies into a tantrum. "Nnngghhh.. You guys are not fun! NOT FUN!"
Soon Marietta gleefully picks up her reward, stuffing them in her bag. It had been a while since she had something nice, maybe she could get some puffins for her and her troupe, or build a motorbike to poke fun of Jace and Tully.
The juggler turns to Amira again, whispering to her ears. "Isn't it odd that there are so many cameramen flocking for Jeremiah's attention?"

Amira gives a puzzled look, "It's only natural that Master Jeremiah is the center of attention. No one else from our group does anything and it fits with his perso-." "!?" Amira looks over to Jeremiah as he freezes in his tracks. Like a startled cat, every hair in his body spikes up. He jumps out of his wheelchair and returns to bed faster than a full speed Garchomp and proceeds to look as bedridden as possible.
Down the hall, a man emerges from the corner holding a camera. He begins to go into a full sprint. His eyes don't look like he's trying to find a destination, but to run away for dear life. From the same corner, a blonde woman jumps out and starts sprinting as well. She easily catches up with the cameraman and grabs his hand and then his neck with the other. The cameraman shakes violently once and tenses his whole body, then he just falls.
The woman gets up and retracts her hands back in her long trench coat. She begins to stare at the group outside the door. Upon closer look, this woman almost a foot taller than Marietta and the thin parts of her hair seem to stand upright a bit like static hair. One more another person walks past the corner. A man, who is bit shorter than the blonde woman, calmly walks to the door Jeremiah and Tully are in. He has styled brown hair that is pulled behind him in a mullet(it works). He also has this certain regal feel to him as he walks over the unconscious photographer. You almost forgot that chase scene happened until the taller woman starts following him in. He gives a quick smile to the three outside and confronts Jeremiah. Don't forget to breathe...
"Hit the road, Jack. Nurse Joy says I can't have visitors, ya dig..." The name named Jack turns around and sees the crew outside. "It seems you have plenty of company right now. We will be quick anyway." he says in a voice as smooth as warm butter. "I was looking online and I read that you were hospitalized with a certain boy named Jace Synod hanging around, I'm sure the other one is around here too. I got Natasha and we have been here on watch all night, can't have three of my precious comrades slain by those foolish people that withdrew from our group. Roderick has already encountered Glen a few days ago."
"Hmfp, if my leg is giving me trouble I'll jut hack it off before I fight, simple as that yo... Three comrades?"
Jeremiah counts himself, confusingly Jace, and looks at Marietta and Tully. "N-NANI? You guys are repping me!? Yall were leaving me hanging this whole time!" "Yes, Jace Synod and... Tully." He looks at both of the boys and give a warm smile. "Sorry to meet like this after recovering from a fight. I am Jack Johnson and I am also in Paradiso as well, pleased to meet you both. And good morning Amira, I hope Jeremiah hasn't been too troublesome for you. Now who is who?"

"Not a problem at all." Jace extended his hand. "I'm Jace, that's Tully, and she's Marietta." He motioned his head toward Marietta to make sure she wasn't left out. "She isn't Paradiso, but she's part of the team."
He wasn't quite sure what to make of this newcomer. Anyone who could make Jeremiah run for the hills is either highly respected, or feared. Either way, Jace wanted to make a good first impression. Ace peaked over Jace's shoulder. "And this is Ace. He's the mascot."
This was a lie, as they had never discussed having a mascot, but Ace was always walking around outside of his Pokeball. The way Jace figured it Ace was the most recognizable Pokemon in their party. And the fact that he is adorable was just icing on the cake.

Jack gives a firm handshake to Jace. "Nice to meet you all, I'm sure the boss would be pleased to find out about new faces in these despairing times." You notice Jack's legs begin to tremble a bit.
The tall woman, who walked into the room with Jack, starts to read Jeremiah's medical record at the end of his bed. Her first words come out in a german accent, "...This isn't even your bed. Are you even supposed to be here??"
Jeremiah jumps up, "You always have to ruin everything, N. L.! Aren't you two ever going to skedattle."
Nurse Joy walks into the room and gives off a intimidating smile. "While being energetic is an important part of the healing process, please remain quiet in the hospital. As long as you remain in this building your lives are in my hands... Please don't forget that." She waves goodbye as the silent room with seven guests all drop a bead of sweat.
"Seeing as you're healthy, I should take my leave. Good luck at the next gym you all. Natasha, you're free to do at you please."
"I don't need you to tell me my schedule. I was just leaving as well." she retorts.
Amira turns over to Marietta. "Master Jeremiah and I should be leaving too. If you need anything give us a call!"

Witnessing the brutal subjugation of a paparazzi, Marietta eyes are widened a little. Given how easily she could borrow the guest room it was not reaaly a surprise. She crosses her arm. "Paparazzis are annoying, aren't they? I was mistaken as a psychic just because second rate jugglers uses psychic power to juggle. I can't even bend a spoon with my mind."
Marietta suddenly raises her arm, wanting some answer. "Hey, I know I'm not a part of Paradiso, but who is Glen?"
Marietta smiles at Amira's courtesy. "Sure, let's exchange phone number, we'll be in contact soon." She then picks up her autograph doodled Pokeball and passes it to Amira. "Soon they will worth a bomb."

Natasha looks down at the girl trying to converse. Her face is unchanged at Marietta's joke of a comment. More of her hair begins to float upward. "You're better off keeping your mouth shut, fraulein. But to answer your question, Glen is just another man that must die."
As the intimidating woman leaves the room, the lights flicker for a second. "Oh my, it seems I'm not that popular with anyone today... Marietta was it? Since you've gained the approval among your peers here, you're free to accept an offer into Paradiso. Just tell Tatsumaki and she'll help you. I'll be off now take care..."
"Ah, well thanks. Have fun in Proamario City, it's beautiful there, later." Amira says turns around to see Jeremiah begging to be pushed in the wheelchair. She tips it over, making him fall. "Oh, also you know the second-in-command I was talking about? That was Jack. Can his strength and pokemon really control those who would rather die than obey?" She drags Jeremiah out the door and leave.

Natasha's cold threat leaves a sour taste in Marietta's mouth. She remains smiling, but hiding her clenched teeth. Quickly, she lets out a deep breath and sighs, assuming a relaxed pose, waiting for Natasha to be completely out of sight. "That was uncalled for, it was life experience." She responds to Jack. "I'll think about it, Tatsumaki invited me once." Now she has an excuse as why she remains being an associate to Paradiso. She doesn't want to be overly serious like Natasha, along with Amira's opinion on Jack. "That sounds like mental conditioning." She soon swipe those thoughts off, and waves Amira goodbye. First, she fetches her phone, texting Ika about her group's victory against Jeremiah, and how she sees no Flygon in her challenge.
"Proamario City, let's see." Marietta fetches a map from her bag, then extends it for Jace and Tully to have a look. She eyes on the nearest computer, planning to deposit some Pokemon she caught.

Tully's eyes widen slightly at the name of the city for a moment befor he schools his expression. "Not a great city, tell you that right now. Think I'm gonna be puttin' me together a shoppin' list." He takes out a small pad of paper and leans back in his bed, thinking up what he'll need there.
A hand goes to his bedside and feels the sunglasses he was given. 'sa start, at least.

"Okay, it can't be worse than Hayden City, but you'll be the guide!" Marietta shows a thumbs up with a wink at Tully, trusting her taciturn friend to be the guide in Proamario City. "Meanwhile, excuse me for a moment, I'm depositing something." Marietta walks to the computer in the Pokemon Center, activating the system and depositing her two "gift" from Tim, while wondering who manages the Box System in Nexus.

After checking out of the pokemon center, the three trainers are on their way to Proamario City. Along the way you see pokemon rangers and Blastoise near the poisoned river that you previously encountered. They are trying accelerate dilution by putting more fresh water in. The city is located northwest of Aquifer Delta and the only means of traveling by foot is through a forest. A highway is available for vehicles only. The trip will only take around five to six hours if one paces themselves. There is a rest area within the forest as well for weary travelers. The forecast says a slight chance of rain so Nurse Joy gave all of you very cheap umbrellas, be careful trying to open them up.Ika replies to Marietta's text. Probably cause you aren't strong enough fight him again when you get all the badges!It has been about half an hour since you've first stepped into the forest. The time is 11:00am with clear skies.

Marietta brims a upward smirk looking at Ika's message. Fighting a Flygon all by herself sounds like an attractive offer. She thus replies. I'll do just that, maybe including yours, after solving my family issue. ;P
The sky is bright and there will not be a problem. Marietta assumes such and explores a tall grass looking for a Pokemon to challenge her.
