Tully stands up, straightening the jacket of the suit he was given. He generally prefers looser, more nondescript clothing, but he does like looking good now and again.
He doesn't say anything - he knows his brother well enough that the last thing he'd do is respond to him - and merely exits the room, walking to the gym silently. If he's going to die (and he's certain that he's going to die), he might as well go out with some dignity.
Whether he'll keep it for long is another matter entirely, but it never hurts to try.

As you descend down the stairs, you slip up on something.
Roll Acrobatics to catch yourself/regain balance.

You fail to catch yourself and you tumble 3-4 meters down the stairs. You notice that some of the steps have been greased down with something. Kyle looks over the railing with no emotion whatsoever. The ends of his mouth curls up, "Big Sis don't like waiting around." He leaves the staircase.
At the gym... This time you see Felicia in normal clothing. She is messing around with your knives and giving some of them to her Feraligatr. Who proceeds to snapping them in his jaws. "You've been carryin these flimsy knives the whole time Reese? I don't know how you've gotten this far without losing your fingers or toes. I'm on break so why don't we have a chat." The butler comes walking in with a glass of wine and your favorite drink. "You still like that stuff, right? Tell me about your adventures, my dear brother." Felicia commands as she takes a sip of her wine.

"Adventures? Heh, guess you could call 'em that. Not what you'd call the adventuring type, but I guess it'll do fer now. Well, all started with this guy named Tim - might remember, tried to shake 'im down few months back, didn't work out so good. Anyway..."
Seeing little reason to lie in what are probably his final hours, he started relating his experiences thus far, along with frequent comments on dangerous and/or stupid they were. There are only notable thing he leaves out are his powers and the shards he'd stolen. Just a hunch, but he gets the feeling letting them know about that might cause a couple of issues.

"My my, looks like the other gym leaders gave you a hard time." Felicia pauses for a moment. "Who are those two random people to you? You just met em a week ago and it seems you found some weird sense of purpose. Are those talentless nobodies really that important to die for?"
Felicia was 100% serious. Is it leading a group of idiots? The joy of battle? Finding new Pokemon on your own? Though she was still finding amusement at throwing your knives at her Feraligatr, she sounds a bit angry that you can from a family (of criminals) that could've given you all of those things. You can sense that she's going somewhere with this, testing your resolve.

Tully snorts. "Oh, hell no! It ain't about purpose or principles - 'sabout stayin' alive. Don't get me wrong, if I could just quit this whole thing, I would, but that ain't an option. I'm in the firin' line now, an' I need all the allies and meatshields I can get. I'd love it if they were less... them, but it's better than bein' on my own."

Felicia brings up a devilish smile, she begins to talk but is interrupted by the gym doors slamming open. Exposing a boy in green robes, Ace, and Kuki the courier.
The eccentric boy runs up to you two by the side of the pool. "Miss Gym Leader! Lets set our lives aside and battle for the badge!"
She throws a knife full force the boy's rude entrance. "That's 'sir' to you. And didn't ya read the sign? I'm on break, get lost."
The boy isn't fazed at all by the knife. While travelling through the air, it somehow dips down and narrowly passes the mysterious boy. His look remains confident as he picks up Ace and whispers: You ready for this? I have to find the weaknesses of this gym and you're gonna help me ok?. "The old man at the door let me in. He says your break should be over by now."
Kuki also walks up by the pool, carrying two heavy boxes in bags. "I remember you.. You're... J... Tully! Did you not get the memo on your tablet? I've been waiting for a while you slakcer. Where the hell is Jace? He didn't buy anything but he's gonna triple tip me this time!"
Felicia stares at the girl while talking to Tully. "You know this girl? It seems she has something for you... Tully." Kuki starts getting uncomfortable with her gaze. Like a frog getting eaten alive by a snake. Her eyes dart to you for help.

This wasn't going to work. The only way Ace was going to find him is if Ace found his scent, tracked it through the city, didn't get lost, didn't get stuck in the Pokemon Center, didn't get attacked, and didn't get abducted. Any number of things could have happened to him out there while Jace was trapped in here. It was time to get out.
He sat down on his mattress cross legged. He rested his hands on his knees and touched thumb to forefinger. Closing his eyes, he began making the loudest, most aggressive stereotypical meditative sounds.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

Jeremy gets up from his spot and approaches the cell. He gives Jace an amused look. "Yer voice is goin' to go hoarse if you keep that up. I won't help you and that's a dumb ass plan by the way."

"Shhh." Jace shushed the jailer. "I'm trying to project my mind onto the Astral Plane to get help, and you are interrupting." Using his telekinesis he began to lift the mattress. Since size is not an issue (weight is the only limiting factor) he was able to lift the whole thing while he sat on it.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

The guard falls back to the wall across from the cell. He begins to kick the bars in a fit of anxiety. "STOP THAT! I SAID STOP!! What the hell are you?" Jeremy lifts his pokeball up as a warning.
Marietta can also hear Jace's 'meditation'

Jace does not immediately stop, his eyes are closed and he can not see any gesture that he is making. However, he does stop suddenly, hanging his head as if unconscious in the sitting position. Before the mattress was wavering in the air but now it was perfectly still. Jace was perfectly still. It was as if him and the mattress were completely frozen in the air. Dead silence.

Jeremy breaks out into a sweaty as he clenches his chest in fear. He shimmys across the wall and starts to run to get Marina.

Tully sighs. "She's just a courier, deliverin' few things. Was on my way to meet her when someone decided to bring me in. She ain't no danger, lemme pay her then we can get on with talkin' 'bout what you actually want from me."
He makes no immediate move to get up, waiting for Felicia's permission, just so she's sure he's not going to try anything.

Felicia takes a deep breath and lets her shoulders rest. She signals Tully to talk to the courier as she gets her pokeball belt. "Alright kid, you got yerself a gym battle! Stand on the platforms in the pool so we can start." She says as she takes off her outside clothes, revealing a swimsuit underneath.

Tully nods and goes over to the courier.
"Sorry 'bout this, just a little... family business. You got anythin' for the others?"

Kuki still has shakes from the staredown. She hands Tully one of the large boxes. "Y.. yeah, I have a package for Marietta too. You make it sound like they're alive. I don't think your mom likes your friends."
In the cells Jeremy appears in front of Marietta's cell. "Marina! Marina! Where you at?"
"Yeah?" Marina responds, coming out from the corner.
"That guy we just captured, he's pulling some crazy shit like levitating. I can't handle it. You're good with that stuff right?" Jeremy's sweating does not stop.
"hmpf, watch Marietta. Whatever's happening in there won't be very kind to regular humans..." She says as she heads to Jace's cell.

Tully nods, not correcting the misunderstanding of Felicia being his mother - it's a little petty, but cathartic.
"Okay, how much do each of us owe ye?"

Kuki takes out a long receipt. "Lady Tatsumaki says this is the last time Marietta can get freebies from others like this. She would either have to join or buy these things herself. Some of the items in her cart aren't really available to the public."
Tully: $11,232 Marietta: $13,250 (With your discount is $10,600)

Now was his chance. Jace worked quickly on the lock. He didn't have to be super delicate with it, he just had to make sure it wasn't locked anymore. When he heard the clicking sound, he slid the door open slightly to be sure. He then slid it so it was very slightly open, so that nobody would notice. He then dropped the bed on the ground, laid down on it, and faced away from the bars like he was asleep.
