Our trainers encountered a rude awakening at Proamario City. Instead of fighting a (kinda)normal gym leader they find themselves in sibling feud between Tully and his family. His sister, Felicia, who is the current gym leader of the area challenges Tully and his friends to a match that will determine whether he is strong enough to continue through the Pokemon League. The trio gained an overwhelming advantage over Felicia, but it seems she wants to skip the middle (Poke)man and KO the trainers.
She raises her hand high in the air, bringing all the Clawitzer to attention. They aim their blasters at Jace and Marietta. Feraligatr looks behind himself and understands Felicia's plan so he creeps up to the edge of the pool.
"You're seconds away from yer face gettin' ripped off and nanoseconds away from gettin' pelted with boiling water. Last chance to give up." Felicia waits for anyone's answer. Thinking they may just throw Reese over to her and that'll be the end of it.

"So does that mean that we win?" Jace was undaunted by this "unexpected" turn of events. "I mean, if you won't play by your own rules what's the point of being a gym leader? You should have just gotten rid of us earlier if that was what you were going to do anyway." Honestly Jace was sick of these gym leaders and their crazy antics. If she can't handle losing then she shouldn't be in the League, let alone a gym leader. If this was the road she was heading down Jace would be happy to oblige.
Jace readies to create a Barrier in front of himself and Marietta should the Clawitzers or Feraligatr attack.

She lets out a small giggle. "Gotcha!" Instead of throwing her hand forward, she drops it vertically by her side. "O' course, that would be unbecomin' of me as a gym leader. I accept my defeat, this is your crew's victory..."
The Clawitzer also lower their pistols. Feraligatr, confused, drifts back into the pool. "This means Reese gets ta challenge the other half of the League. If you still want him with you, that is. Never know when he'll let you take the heat for 'em and split again."
"But if 'yer ok with that then your next hit is the fifth, Alexander. His gym is in an amusement park pretty far from here if you don't have a car. That's shouldn't be too much of a challenge right?"

On the other hand, Marietta was quite taken aback by the sudden threat brought by Felicia. Marietta was getting fed-up with Felicia's bloodthirsty attitude. She lets Jace ease the situation before she propels forward to send Felicia straight to the Pokecenter and defeat the other Clawitzers as well. She was glad she didn't have to, but she remains on caution.
"You know, maybe when he returns after the league challenge, he'll be so strong he doesn't need to fear anything. You want a strong Mafia leader, ya?" Marietta tries to smooth out Felicia's bipolar personality with suggestion that may suit her, collecting her reward except for the gym badge. The description Felicia gave about the 5th gym leader interests her greatly, it however conflicts with the description Ika gave. "His name is Gavin from Rossylne City, wasn't it? Isn't that the 6th gym? We could use a bike, I want to get there as soon as possible!" She can finally resume her raison d'tere - finding whereabouts of her parents. Perhaps Gavin has the answer.

Gavin Her shoulders cringe when she heard that ugly name. "'Course my brother will get strong enough to subside his fear, that why he's leaving and not returning until I give the OK. Don't say that name in front of me, I'll punch you. And lets not talk 'bout the kid when he's right in front of us eh?" Felicia says as she walks the trainers out her gym and to the pokemon center.
"That's his family name, but I prefer ta call him by his first name. Ika is too much ofa' sweetheart. For the order, I'm just pointing ya in the closest direction for a good fight. On paper, his gym is in Rosslyn City, but he conveniently puts it in that amusement park outside of the city near the mountains, which is also near the 6th gym.
I thought Jace would be the type of man that has a car, does he not have a driver's license? Have you walked all this way since Umbridge Town!?"

That made Jace chuckle a bit. "License? I couldn't even afford gas, let alone a car. What would I need a license for?" He scooped Ace up into his arms. "Besides, the longer the journey, the more Pokemon we will see! The destination isn't the only thing that matters."

Tully sighs. "Ya got that right. Well, see ya, Sis. Hope that next time I see ye, ye've come to yer senses 'bout me as leader." He turns to the door, giving a wave over his shoulder. "Don't got much hope or nothin', but I can dream."
He walks out, shaking his head and muttering under his breath. "Nobody gets it."

Looking a bit blue, Felicia waves Tully goodbye. She looks at the two remaining trainers, "Take care of the kid, got it? Even if the whole world decides to become his enemy, I'll come runnin' so make sure he never gives in."
As Felcia leaves you two be, she turns around to get your attention once more, "Oh right! The 'mon out here r'all weak sauce. If you want some real tough ones, you'll have to find the legendary blacksmith at the base of Nashor Mountain. He'll put you to work if you want better throwin' knives and steel type pokemon. Just a suggestion. Later..."
At the pokemon center... Before entering the Center you spot Yozora, Tatsumaki's other assistance that you met in Aquifer Delta. She jumps from her snooze as you approach the doors.
"Oh, you all finished that gym battle? *Yawn* I didn't want to disrupt you with news during the match so I sat out here, but it took sooo long *stretch*. Anyway, I have news for the Marietta girl." She explains, the popped collar to her cape still muffles her voice a bit. "Do you recall that Regibot that Master Zed gave you? It was destroyed in the area between Oar's Rest Port and Rosslyn Town. The bot slowed down in that area, it may or may not be the destination still, Master Zed wants you to check out what happened to it. Here are the coordinates. Contact me, Kuki, or Lady Tatsumaki when you're done. "
Yozora hands Marietta a piece of paper that has the longitude and latitude of where you'll need to search. "Questions?"

Seemingly indifferent about the Regibot Jace plopped Ace down on the counter as well as Breloom's pokeball. Suddenly, he remembers something and snaps his finger in response. Turning to Yozora: "Are you in contact with Roderick? You should let him know that I've got his Grimer and that I can transfer it to him while I'm here in the Pokemon Center."

"Hmmm? Me?" Curious, Marietta approaches Yozora, listening halfheartedly until she hears Regibot, which her expression turns more serious. "Destroyed? That can't be true." Marietta makes hasty guessing and assumes someone is after the bot. She could not hold her panicked tone and picks up the paper. "Was there any recording before it was destroyed? Is it near Nashor Mountain?"
She has no time for gym challenges now! She has to leave her party and get to Oar's Rest Port as soon as possible.

Yozora sinks her head deeper into her collar. "Follow me, both of you..."
First she shows Jace how to transfer Pokemon via PC. Entering Roderick's Trainer ID. "Only people with these ID's can transfer this way. Now enter yours and you should be fine the rest of the way."
She turns to Marietta, showing her the map of Nexus near the PC. "Oar's Rest Port is on the gulf of the west coast of Nexus. Next to it is Rosslyn Town. To get to Nashor Mountain, you have to go through Rosslyn Town and continue northeast past the river. Those two locations you mentioned are in different directions once you reach Rosslyn. I don't care what you decide to do, but I would reconsider if you put your goals ahead of Master Zed's wishes. I don't know whether a video exists or not. If it is something you couldn't handle then he wouldn't have requested you to do this."

Marietta sighs, feeling disappointed that there might be no camera installed on the broken Regibot. She already sets her destination on mind, above all else, but she knows there will be enemies awaiting her, Pokemon or human. "Was there any renegade Paradiso members targeting Oar's Rest Port and Rosslyn Town?" Marietta takes a look at Jace and Tully. She is not sure whether she should involve them in her personal quest.

"I don't know what's there to target... They're after us and we've received no reports of anything nearby. Unless there's something out there for them I think you are in the clear. We've heard that your team fought Gurner so-" Yozora notices Marietta's worry and pauses for a moment.
"Hey, have you ran into any of them recently?"

"Johan and Floydd, bug trainers. I think they were death squads sent to kill us. We ran into them and barely survived coming to this city." Marietta explains, hoping to get some tips. "If the maverick group knows exactly where we are heading, then it's likely they'll target Rosslyn Town."

"That is quite unfortunate. Did they say anything to you out of the ordinary? Something that we might be interested in?" Yozora rummages through a pouch in her cape. "I highly doubt there is going to be someone like Johan waiting for you, but if you want protection I can call up someone to meet you there. No need to fight during a simple reconnaissance mission." She brings out her phone, ready to type something in. "BTW, Floydd is the bug trainer, Johan tends to use whatever he wants."

The cpu interface is so simple that even Jace can follow it. He begins the process of sending Grimer back home. Without looking away from what he is doing he addresses Marietta's concerns. "We're going to Oar's rest to try and find that Regibot, the Nexus League can wait."
Back to back to back gym battles was not a good thing. The gyms were going to get harder faster than they were going to get good. Hell, Jace still only had 2 Pokemon. They needed a distraction. And who knows, maybe Jace will find some cool Pokemon along the way.
"You're a part of a team now, your problems are our problems. And if we run into those thugs along the way, we'll give them a run for their money." Jace considered handing over the shards to Paradiso right there and then. It would be safer with them. Of course, they were also useful tools.

"Something about trying to change the world for the better, blah blah blah, Palkia and Dialga, it doesn't sound good, and I doubt that's all they reveal." Marietta lets out a summary of Johan's motive to Yozora. "It's fine, I can avoid unnecessary battle if I look carefully."
It was then, Jace unhesitating offer shakes her. "I-is that really okay? Ahahah..." Marietta makes a nervous laugh, shifting her view somewhere. "I'm supposed to be helping you guys., you know?"

Tully rolls his eyes. "Well y'ain't gonna be too good at that if yer off on yer own, are ya? We'll take a detour, see what's up, no big thing."He turns away, muttering to himself. "Sides, anywhere's better'n here."<object type="application/x-KPMPlugin" id="kpm_plugin"></object>

Yozora claps her hands together. "It's been decided then! I'll keep my communication open for all of you. After this, I hope you'll reconsider Lady Tatsumaki's request for joining Paradiso. Good luck on your first mission, cya..."
She leaves you three inside the pokemon center to discuss you next plan of action. There is some time left with Nurse Joy still healing your pokemon. The time of day is the middle of evening hours.

Marietta believes she gave a foolish answer to her friends. "Haha, thanks." She chuckles and gives out her gratitude for using their time to tackle her family's issues.
"They still want me to join Paradiso, don't they?" Marietta takes a glance at Yozora, then pokes at Jace regarding the issue. There are still some time before her team's Pokemon are healed, she will need to replenish her Pokeballs and upgrade her Pokecases. Marietta brings out her Pokeball crafting case, finding a vacant seat and begin mixing her existing Pokecases.
