Marcos lets out a big bellow of laughter. "I swear that mouth of yours can do whole 'lot more damage than my fists." He says as he makes the pact of three almost tumble from laugh exhaustion. "Wow, that's exactly were I'm takin' you all now. Some things have changed since you up and left. We headin' to visit your big sis."
At the Proamario City Gym The group of seven reach the doorsteps to the gym. It's a really nice building for a gym. Jeremy opens up the door and you all enter a long hall with gold painted walls. A red carpet runs under you. "Why hello champs in the ma-" and elderly man appears from the corner of the door. His eyes widen and become shiny. "Master Reese!" he says in a hurried whisper. "Why have you come back!?". No one makes any attempt to converse with the old man and you seven follow the red carpet until it splits up. In the middle of the hall is a wide pool, probably about 40 feet long, who know how deep it goes. On the opposite end of the pool is a woman with long, jet back hair wearing a two-piece swimsuit. She is on her phone as the light from a window shines down on her.
"Yo, Felicia! Looks what I found in the street!" yelled Marcos. His voice echoes down the hall. The water becomes tempered.
The woman gives a sullen look at her older brother. "What do you want? Who're these people?"
Marcos takes Tully's shades off. Felicia looks in utter shock. The awe makes her legs unable give her the strength to get up and to see Tully. She struggles and jumps in his arms.
"MY DEAR LIL BROTHER HAS RETURNED TO US AT LAST" Felicia screams as she manages to pick Tully up for a while. Her body is wet from being in the pool. She looks past Tully and sees outsiders, Jace and Marietta. "Were you the ones that found him? Thank you, lemme give you the reward money." With the snap of her fingers the old guy that greeted them left the hall.

Before entering the gym
Marietta was confused at first, until she saw Marcos coming from behind. Although she didn't turn her head, gives out a casual greeting to Tully's brother, casually walking forward. "Oh, you're the gentleman from Wind Drip Town, what a coincidence, hello there. Yup, said boyfriend didn't give me new toys, I had to improvise." Still, Tully's sarcasm and disrespect on his group irritated Marietta, thus she retorts. "Oh sorry Tully, but you are not my sole breadwinner, you have no say on how I earn my living. I mean, no one knows Reese's was being hunted, right?" Although she sees Marina and Jeremy, she still sees them as Alice and Brendan. She perhaps had totally forgotten about Marcos's lackeys. It would be appreciative if they give them time to go to the Pokemon Centre.
Entering the gym "Ahah, this is a rather awkward entry for Strugglers." Seeing Felicia rushes to Tully for reunion, Marietta remains quiet and observes the family reunion. She looks at Jace. "You knew this?"

He wasn't paying very much attention. Where did Ace go? Did he wander off? Did they kidnap him?! Marietta was talking to him. "Hm? No, I didn't." Marietta seemed to have forgotten the situation that they are in. Actually, what kind of situation were they in? Was she going to pay them?
Jace was at a crossroads: Act stupid or act like he knew a thing or two. He would try for the latter.
"Yeah, that's right." He said to Felicia. "I was going to bring him here after picking up some stuff from the Pokemon Center, but got cut off." The best part is that Jace wasn't lying at all. That was in fact his plan. His intent was to challenge the gym leader, but he wasn't even sure if that was possible at this point. He would worry about Tully later. Jace had to get out of this bind and find Ace as soon as possible.

At the pokemon center... The automatic pokemon doors slide open and the inside was looking more empty than usual. Jace and the others weren't there, Kuki nor her Pelipper were nowhere to be found, and Nurse Joy was away from her desk. There were only a few trainers and pokemon owners there since this is morning.
At the gym... "Is that so..." Felicia puts Tully on the floor. "If you were goin' by the instructions of the poster, then you woulda been on your way to the police station, but I don't ask questions." She looks back at Tully, still holding him at arms length. "I don't care that you betrayed yer group of henchman, or if you betray others. But you betrayed your family by running away and that's something I can't looks past!" Her hand grip on Tully tightens before throwing him to Marcos. Her eyes pierce you with a bad-tempered look.
"Throw Reese in his room 'til Daddy comes back home. I will show 'em that Reese is still useful as his son. Also keep his room under surveillance by people you can trust. I won't be free until later, gym leader duties."

Tully remains silent throughout the conversation, despairing a little and silently cursing himself for his sloppiness.
Admittedly, the main reason for his silence was simply having all the air crushed out of his lungs from his sister's hold, but it still galled him.
Still, might as well use this.
"So, yer a Gym Leader now, huh, Sis? Good on ya. As it happens, we been goin' round doin' the gyms ourselves. So, 'stead o' lockin' me up, what say we have a match while we wait. Ye can cuff me, chain me, gimme concrete booties, whatever - I won't try to run. Wouldn't be much point, would there? Least let us get one more badge 'fore Daddy gets to me."

Felicia folds her arms and giggles to herself. "Now that one I can believe." She walks up to Jace and Marietta.
"You're the boy who returned my ring at Hayden City, and I could never forget someone I had to dress up. You didn't even stop in the casino to congratulate your sister on becoming a gym leader huh? It was pretty easy actually, after the previous one had to 'resign' I had everyone in the city vote for me. Getting on good terms with the other gym leaders was too easy hahaha."
With a quick step, Felicia gets up in Jace's face. "Ya had no intention of givin' him back did you! You may be new here kid, but ya hafta learn. If there's one thing I hate most, ITS LIARS!" Felicia rams into Jace, running them both in the water. As both of you sink, you see Felicia falling upside down, arms crossed and grinning. She takes a deep breath and grabs onto your leg, taking you to the floor

Ahh, so you're the one who dressed me up in that casino city... All the while, Marietta was about to give her thanks to Felicia before she speeds onto Jace and rams him into the water, startling the juggler at how quick her personality changes. Once Jace and Felicia are back on land, Marietta takes a deep breath and raise a few questions.
"Wow wow... I know Mafia live by principles but isn't this a Pokemon Gym? We are here to challenge the gym leader with Pokemon, a team of Jace, Tully and me." Marietta prepares her Pokeballs for challenge. "Instead of reward money, why not a good old gym challenge, if we win you'll pass our gym rewards and let Ree- I mean, Tully continue his gym challenges until we challenge the league. If we lose we'll just leave without Tully." She got other questions after the challenge.

Jace knew one thing for sure: he did not want to be here in the water. He kicked off the floor with his feet and created a pillar of psychic energy beneath him. This displaced a massive amount of water and sent Jace shooting up towards the surface. Again he bent his legs and jumped when he got to the upper limits of his barrier. His velocity sent him straight up out of the water, launching him back onto land. He moved away from the edge of the pool.
"Damn she's fast." He looked across the pool to see if Thing 1 and Thing 2 were there. This would be so much easier if Ace was here...
Meanwhile Alright, Ace knows about three different buildings. The Pokemon Center, the Gym, and the Poke Mart. They weren't at the Center, and they never talked about going to the Mart. So, by Eevee logic, they must have went to the Gym. Ace, thinking himself so clever for figuring this out, struck out for the Gym.
... Where was the Gym again?

Outside... Ace travels in search of the gym for a bit, weaving in between pedestrians and traffic he finds himself in an unfamiliar place.
"*clicks tongue* Hey you, dog/cat thing, over here." A man in patchy clothing summons Ace over. His face looks as if he has been saved from upcoming turmoil.
At the gym! Underwater, Felicia waves her hand in front of what Jace jumped off. She feels the corners of the barriers and climbs the first one. She gets into a lunging position as a cat would.
It has often been said that exercising in water has the greatest benefits on the body. Water is around 780 times more dense than air so different muscle groups get used more in this medium. The effects of gravity is also weakened by the Deep. Which means pressure is constant on all sides.
The gym leader takes off with Aqua Jet! Her body molds into a torpedo which makes the water stand aside. She reaches the surface, headbutting Jace. "You think pretty fast on your feet guy. A gym battle?" She turns her attention to Marietta, her foot is ontop of Jace. Felicia claps her hands twice rapidly. "Who would ever agree to that in these circumstances? I won't give you an inch of freedom! I'll be the one to save Reese!"
The gym doors open and a group of about 15 men and women in suits burst in. You can hear their mumbling. "Holy shit, is that Reese!?" "That sunnuvabitch had the balls to come back here!" "What is he thinking?"
Felicia steps in between the group and the trainers, "Send these two to the cages. Reese will be with us. If any of you bastards want to lay a finger on him you'll have to get through me first. Marina, Will, get these two out of my sight."

Ace, not aware of the peril that his friends are in, decides to take a detour. He approaches the strange man. Although trusting, Ace isn't stupid. He's ready to bolt at any time.

As Ace approaches the man, he sees a bit of drool coming out of his mouth. "Your muscles... Are they dog meat, or cat meat!" He shouts as he lunges toward the Pokemon.

Ace slips between the man's arms and bolts down the street. He uses the foot traffic to his advantage, winding between legs as he runs to the Gym.

You hear the homeless man screaming after you until his voice stop abruptly. After traveling on the main streets for a bit, you hear a screech from up above. A Pigdeotto descends onto its fine meal. At the gym...www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GeQK0fOAewTully is taken to one of the rooms in the gym. Marina and William leave him and they are replaced with a few of Felicia's lackeys. You find out now that your sister is a gym leader and under surveillance of the league, Proamario can't be a one of the family's main hideouts anymore so they are moving everything to a another city close by. Vilani activity will still go on here, just not as hard. A change of clothes to your liking are handed to you, Felicia will call you down on her break. -------------------------------------------- Jace and Marietta are held up in one of the family's nearby cargo holds. Downstairs they are put in separate cages for pokemon. No one know where the other was taken. Their bags and pokeballs were also confiscated. Jeremy and Marina are watching them respectively while Felicia's lackeys are... somewhere. Marina comes to Marietta's cell will Fried Dratini Breast. "What? Don't look so surprised, you're not really prisoners so we can't treat you like savages." Jace's cell is visited by an unknown person, though Jeremy is still watching. He is pretty young and has his voice has a high pitch to it. You are given the same foods as Marietta. " "I hear that Reese is back and it's all thanks to you and that girl. Tell me, how has he been? Healthy?""

"You mean Tully? He's been kickin' ass and taking names." Jace sat down and leaned on the back of the cell. "If I were you, I'd be more worried about my own health. You know who we work for right?" He had half a mind to slap the guard with a Psychic right there, but decided it would be best to wait it out. An opportunity would present itself eventually.
Meanwhile So, this is what it's like in the wild. Everyone wants to take a bite out of him. Well, time to each this thug a lesson. Maybe if Ace hit it hard enough it would fly off. Or maybe Ace would eat it. Now that'd be something.

The kid snickers at Jace's face before finally letting loose. "HAHAHA Damnit I've been cursin' him ever since he left. Guess snakes can't get cursed eh? Don't worry, Big Sis hasn't given any order yet. You'll probably be free to go without... Tully. Trust me that he's bad news for all of us." The boy leaned in closer to the cage as Jace backed himself. "Dependin' on what group yer reppin' I would say choose your words wisely. You wouldn't want to get physical with this guy here." He says as he points to Jeremy. Who in turn attempts to give a friendly smile and a chuckle to shake it off.
Outside... Pidgeotto takes a heavy attack. He flies behind Ace while descending away into a red mist. "Man, you're kinda tough. And fast." A boy, probably as old as Jace, approaches Eevee. He's wearing jade colored robes and a few small feathers are in his hair. Probably the most noticeable thing about him is that he's carrying a katana on his side. People around him are giving strange looks. "You probably belong to someone right? I saw you walk into the center a while ago and you ran out of there so fast." He goes into his bag and tosses an Oran Berry to Ace, then squats. "How about you come with me for a bit? Your partner is probably a pokemon trainer going to face the gym. He or she is probably looking everywhere for you. You'll have to wait a bit though, I'm meeting up with a friend in the center. How about it!?" The boy looks wide eyed at Ace. He either looks really happy to eat you, or meet you.

"We'll see who's laughing when Ace gets here." Jace settled himself in that spot for the long haul. Truth was, he had no clue where Ace was or what he was doing.
Meanwhile Ace wasn't sure at first, but then he remembered his mortal enemy: automatic doors. If he was to get INTO the gym, he'd need some help. Ace spins around in a circle and moves to stand by the stranger. He was a pokemon trainer after all, he probably wouldn't eat him...

Marietta merely relaxes her arms and let the crime family take her wherever, hopefully it'll be the other side of the island, so long as they let her go later, she got other priorities. "So, where are we headed to anyway?"

Marina sends a baffled look to Marietta. She lets her arms down and backs away from her cell. "Okaaaaaaay. I'll be somewhere else, but nearby." Her footsteps clap the concrete floor even after turning the corner. -------------------- A loud knock on the door disrupts Tully's gloomy noon. A venomous voice that can only belong to your younger brother, Kyle, berates you. "When I got the news that you came crawlin' back I though somethin' big was about to go down. It looks like you've done nothing but try to challenge a gym inna town that hates yer guts. Didya really think anything was going to change? We're the type of people that don't say 'sorry' to those weaker than us. And we'll fight anyone who tries to stand in our way. I can't seem to find where yer placed in this picture hahaha." A whisper can be heard behind the door. "Oh right, Big Sis wants ya to come to the gym. I dunno what for."
Your weapons were handed over to Felicia, but your pokeballs and new clothes are with you.

With Marina gone for the moment, Marietta takes a look around her cell without leaving her location.

Outside the cell, you have a long corridor running through you. On your right is where the corridor turns, that's where Marina went.
The cage itself is quite spacious. You have enough room to do something like a cartwheel. The walls and the floor are made of concrete and there is a little barred window which light shines through. It's a bit high so you jump it, but the bars are tightly spaced so the most you can do is just stick your arm out. Through the bars is just another building a few feet away.
