After the wait, Nurse Joy gives back your pokemon. At the same time Marina appears out of the revolving door twirling car keys around her finger.
"C'on kids, we're going to the amusement park!!" she says in a half-hearted tone of excitement. She reverts back to her normal voice. "Felicia told me you three needed a ride right?"

Still in the middle of her tech geek mode, upgrading her Pokeball cases and crafting Pokeballs, Marietta turns to Marina, google still on her face, pointing at her with a screwdriver "Why not? First, we have a stop I did like you to make. Or better yet, let me drive." Suggests the juggler, who thinks she knows how to drive without car license.

Marina is in opposition when she hears that you're going somewhere else, let alone drive. "Don't you need to go to the amusement park? Do you know how to drive? Cause you look 15..." She presses a button on her keys and her car outside makes a bleeping sound. "So where you three headed to now?"

"16, Alice. Which means I should be an adult in Nexus." Marietta reaffirms her age. "Don't worry, I drove a motorbike before without license, don't need license when you have skills." The juggler once again boasts her daredevil attitude, patting her chest with confidence, once again ignoring that the authorities stopped her from driving bike without license. She, however, tells Marina the location of where they are heading. "We got a report from Professor Spruce that there may be a dead Regirock in (location pinpoint). If you're driving, can you get us there, but 1 KM away? It may get dangerous."

She sqints her eyes at the paper and enters the coordinates on her gps. "Roslyn Town..." Marina throws Marietta the keys to the car. "I guess I can teach you how to drive. The road going there is clear, but you're on your own after we hit the town entrance. Jeremy and I have business there."
You three walk outside and see last year's Sliph Co Standard Type E car. Jeremy is sitting in the front. "Yo get out, the girl is driving and I'm calling shotty. Sit in the back with the boys."
Roll for tech edu to start the car and all that... Then roll Focus, Intuition, and Perception to understand the driving conditions, watch out for things on the road, and to pay attention to your driving on the way there.

Not wanting the middle seat Jace quickly slips into the backseat of the car. It isn't until he gets in that he realizes the gravity of the situation.
"Marietta? Drive? Heh, looks like we survived a run in with the mob only to die in a tragic car crash." Jace's tone is in jest, but the threat is all too real. He makes it a point to pay close attention to the road and make Marietta aware should something come up. (Jace aids Marietta, granting her a +3 bonus to Focus)
Ace, for his part, doesn't seem to bothered. He sits in the middle seat, but Jace scoops him up into his lap. This is both to make room for Tully and Jeremy and so he can hold Ace down in case something happens.

You enter the car and start it like a second nature. Marina sits in the front while Jeremy is tightly squeezed in between Jace and Tully.
You understand how much force it takes to stop the car, turning radius, and knowledge of your blindspots. But you're so nervous on being aware of everything that you're driving really slow. Other cars pass by you every chance they get. The 40 minutes it would take to get to Rosslyn has gone by and the sun almost on the horizon.
A police car coming from behind turns on his sirens and appears in your rearview window. At your current pace, the car will probably catch up to you soon.
"Shit... Drive faster will you? If I get another moving violation then my license will be expired!" Cries Marina. "Oh, and you don't want Master Reese getting caught by the authorities do you?"

"We're one yarn bundle of getting arrested. Oh, you want to play, officer?" Marietta has no intention of getting arrested in a foreign land. Like a racing queen, she steps on the pedal, adjusts the gear to 2, then 3, intends to speed away before the officer could get a closer look.

Since this car is an automatic, the gears shift on their own. You can hear them changing though! The police car moves to the side of you just as you accelerate. In reality, it was just attempting to get past you trying to get somewhere else. Since you're now on their radar they yell at you over the intercom, "SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER THE VEHICLE!!" a cop says as he tries to catch up.

"Marietta." Jace snapped. "You need to pull over. If you don't it will only make things worse."
He wasn't sure what would come next, but pulling over was the obvious answer. Odds are Marietta would get a ticket, big whoop. They are already raking it in from these gyms anyway.

Marietta does consider the option of pulling over, but questions about her group's consist of 3 organized crime members. They're likely chasing them to arrest all 3. "What about Tully, Alice and Brendan?"

"What about them? If the police were going to arrest them they would have done it a long while ago. Besides, Tully isn't a criminal, he's a Paradiso agent, right?" The way Jace saw it, there was no way that the situation would get worse if they pulled over.

"We'll be fine... I did have a plan to tell the officer you were my sister and I was teaching you how to drive. I scrapped that idea, don't want to put myself down like that. I'm still surprised you actually sped up in the presence of police." Alice rudely replies. "I'm interested in your plan too boy."
"Stop calling us by those names" Jeremy insists.
The patrol car gains speed as Officer Jenny yells through the intercom once again as a final warning.

"What, aren't those your names? And your boyfriend girlfriend relationship?" Marietta pretends to play dumb, she only wonder if Marina and Jeremy are even their real name. Hearing Marina being fine with everything, Marietta slows down her car, parking the car near a safe area. The idea of puncturing the officer's tires did came across her mind, until Jace calls her out.
"Up to you leader." Marietta signals Jace, pointing her thumb at the oncoming police car. "Tully, keep your head down. The worst that could happen, I get a ticket."

Tully groans as he lowers himself in the seat, muttering darkly to himself.
"Can't take you mugs anywhere, can I?"

The patrol car slows down and parks behind you. Officer Jenny pops out of her car and looks into Marina's car through the drivers window. She scans the people in the car for their facial expression.
"License and registration please. And do you know why I pulled you over today?"

Rolling down his window Jace tilts his head slightly to address the officer. "I'm sorry officer, she is new to driving. We thought that we would let her practice since it is so late in the evening and traffic would be light. When she saw your lights turn on she panicked and sped up."
Ace, still sitting in Jace's lap, uses Charm in an attempt to defuse the situation. Cuteness levels turned up to an eleven. "We'll just switch drivers, I realize now how much of a mistake this was..." 90% of what Jace was saying was the truth, more or less. The best lies are mostly truth.

Officer Jenny makes an excited gasp when Ace appears. She quickly conceals it at turns to the front. "*Clears throat* Who is the owner of the vehicle, and what's your relation to the driver?" The officer goes back to her regular interrogation.
Marina raises her hand,"Um, that would be me. She's my... adopted sister..." She takes out her driver's license and registration and hands it to Jenny. The adopted part was necessary because Marietta, a foreigner, resembles no one in the car.
Officer Jenny inspects the license and closes her notepad. "I'll give you a warning this time. I'm supposed to be at Rosslyn by now. But if I catch you any of you in trouble, I'm coming for you!" Pointing a finger at Marina.
"Wha-..."
The cop's eyes track Ace as she walks back to her car. She looks over to Jace and quickly breaks eye contact. She leaves soon after.
Marina and Marietta switch places in the car. During the ride, Jace's Pokédex beeps like a pager. Saying you have a notification at your PC. In no time, you five reach Rosslyn. Marina makes a fit and kicks you out at the gates.

"I've got to check my PC," Jace said, indicating towards the Pokemon Center. "Tully, could you get us a place to stay at that inn? And Marietta, could you check the store for any supplies we might need? Who knows how far a hike it will be to reach this thing."
He wanted to prepare for anything, but honestly he wasn't too concerned.

Tully hops out of the car, eager to stretch his legs. "Sure thing, J. Can't be worse'n the hotel back in Proamario."
He goes into the inn, allowing a small smile to come to his face. Sure, he's probably gonna be in danger again soon, but maybe, just for once tonight, he can get a good night's sleep.
