"Yeah, probably almost time to sleep too." Marietta takes up air and makes a tiring yawn, chucking her Dr.Salt into her bag. "Ciao." She failed to ask about their powers, probably from the renegade Paradiso. She thinks it's probably best not to ask or she may be targeted.
As Marietta leaves the tavern, she searches for an equipment and item shop to check the price of hiking and climbing equipment to cross Nashor Mountain. Marietta wonders if Ika is sleeping. She begin texting "Have you climbed Nashor Mountain before? Any items that I should order?"

Marietta gets no reply from Ika at this time...
You enter the PokeMart and shops looking for supplies. Here is what they have to offer:
$3000 Hiking Shoes: +3 Athletics in rough terrain Water Filter: Same as guide $800 Harness $1500 Ice Axe: Pierce $2000 Rappel Device
Looking at all this hiking stuff reminds you that Kuki is somewhere near Nashor Mountain with the items you failed to retrieve. Also the coordinates Yozora handed to you.

Marietta takes another look at the coordinates Yozora passed to her. Impatience starts boiling within her as she stuffs the paper down her pocket again. Every minute pass and her enemies might be closer to her target.
"Probably be back by tomorrow." Marietta jots down the price of the hiking equipment and leave the Pokemart, heading to the inn, hoping Jace and Tully are still awake by then. She wants to get to the coordinate fast.

You find the inn Jace and Tully are staying in on the first try. You attendant-guy understands your situation as he gives you a key to their room for an added price.
When you enter you find one of Jace and Tully's pokemon awake to spot intruders out the bedroom door. Even though they see you clearly, they begin to make a low growl to your advance and snap when you get within a certain range, maybe not enough to wake up their trainers. For some reason they forbid you to go anywhere near the door. In the living room there are a few chair cushions that you can create your own mattress! Marietta is too tired to fight back so you crash on your makeshift bed...
A NEW DAY ARRIVES Ace and Breloom tapped out somewhere in the middle of the night. Tully's pokemon just finished their shifts. They have a much esier time staying awake since dark-types are somewhat accustomed to being active at night. It seems that no one but Marietta has intruded the apartment. Don't forget to check out!

Immediately after waking up Jace tapped his Pokemon. "Come on, morning stretch time." He took his Pokemon outside and let them get warmed up. Meanwhile, he released his newfound ally from his Pokeball. Jace needed to know what this Haunter could do before deciding on the best course of action was in terms of training it.

Haunter looks at his surroundings in a shock. He phases through Jace's legs and observes Ace and Breloom, then looks up at the Pokeball Jace is holding.
Haunter makes a ghastly wail as he makes the conclusion that Roderick has sold him off to a Haunter fighting ring.

"Hold up, Haunter," Jace said. "There's no reason to be afraid, we won't hurt you." Ace and Breloom were a little distance away. They knew the routine well enough to get warmed up on their own.
"We are members of Paradiso and are also contestants in the Pokemon League," he explained. "Roderick gave you to me to help me in my mission. It was sort of a trade actually."

Tully groans as Jaces rising wakes him. "Oh, great, we get to prepare just in time to get murdered. Ain't that just peachy?"He gets up and prepares himself before going outside, stopping only to shove Marietta awake. If I've gotta be miserable in the mornin', then hell if I'm gonna be the only one.Picking a spot a fair way away from Jace, both to give his 'mon some space and so his Dark-Types don't scare the new Haunter, he gets to training. Despite not having nearly the same level of talent at it as Jace, he and his pokemon perform adequately, advancing a little, before he finally recalls them for some well deserved rest. Applying agility training on everyone and Experience training on Otto and Xander.

Haunter looks over at Jace gives a relieved expression. He floats over to Ace and pushes against him in a contest of strength.

Even against a wimp like Jace Haunter has a hard time pushing him around. "You're definitely not a physical type attacker. Let me see what moves you've got." He indicated to a nearby tree.
"ACE, BRELOOM, AGILITY TRAINING, NOW!" He shouted across the way at them. Jace chucked his red ball as hard as he could, boosting it with some telekinesis. It soared above the two and into the distance.

Fumes begin coming out of Haunter's left fist at it turns into a chilly blue color. A dark purple aura comes out the left fist. He makes come boxing motions towards Jace saying he's ready to rumble.

Marietta springs up from her sleeping area not unlike the Jack in the box popping from its box. She didn't expect herself to fall asleep that soon.
Taking a shower and getting herself a fresh new clothes, Marietta greets the morning with some stretching. "Alright, my debut's about to start." She walks to Jace, ignoring that he's having a training with his Pokemon. "Hey Jace, here's your list of purchase you may need."

Jace chuckles a bit at Haunter's boxing stance. "You're not a fighting type! Here, give this a shot." Reaching into his bag, he pulls out the TM he got from their very first gym: dark pulse. Jace figured that it would be a much better fit for Haunter.
In fact, that gave him a couple shopping ideas. Just as he was about to make a list Marietta popped in. He looked at the list she handed her. "This all looks kind of expensive. How about we all just buy what we think that we will need. That way nobody ends up spending too much."
He was already going over his own shopping list. Vitamins, TMs, held items. Haunter was going to get an upgrade.

Marietta's phone chirps. SHowing a notification of Ika's recent text, Nooope, with my sight as it is, climbing would be a terrible idea. Is there a reason to climb it other than seeing the gym leader? Rime's gym isn't that far up the mountain and all you need is a pokemon to fly you in and you're good to go!
Jace enters the PokeMart. The taxes in this place are somewhat lower than any other city, saving that extra $200 must feel great.
AND THE STORY ADVANCES!...
You all meet at the gates once finished with training/errands and follow the coordinates given to Marietta. You're walking along the road for a good while until the gps takes you off and into a dirt path. You start to smell the fresh sea breeze as the march continues to Oar's Rest Port. The sound of falling leaves and breaking twigs follow you to your destination. You three start seeing stone plates emerging from the ground. Bird Pokemon have been chirping away to the point where a bird owner should be annoyed.
You three are about 50 yards away from your destination. Regibot seems to be in an open area free of trees. The only thing around it are rows upon rows of smaller stone plates.

Tully raises an eyebrow at the tableau.
"You know, call me crazy, but this seems kinda suspicious." He say quietly enough for only the others to hear him. "If it's a trap, it ain't a very subtle one. I'm thinkin' I stay in the trees, keep hidden til whatever happens happens, then I can ambush the ambushers, ya get me?

If there was going to be an ambush, they would be walking into it any moment now. Jace released Haunter from his pokeball.
"Haunter, fly up above and keep an eye out." Haunter did as he was told, flying five meters up into the air before flying on ahead. If he ran into any trouble he would just turn invisible and come back.

Haunter moves out in the open fifteen feet above the air. The stillness of the morning horizon is inversely proportional to the discord of birds chirping in the area. Haunter pushes through, making it to the opening and the Regibot.
Nothing jumps out at neither of you...

Even though she was told that someone is on the lookout for them, Marietta still brings out her usual grin. She is anxious about the Regibot's current condition. "You won't know it's a trap until you set up one, I'm going to have a look." Hence, Marietta walks closer to the broken Regibot, fully expecting a trap she will be tripping.

You can clearly see a wire trap is set up on your way to the Regibot, but it looks like it doesn't trigger anything. So you two pass it carefully. Marietta and Jace see that the Regibot is sliced cleanly into a few pieces. The note and Pokédex in the compartment it had are gone. Upon further inspection of your surroundings, you see that these plates on the ground are tombstones if you haven't realized.
Tully, roll focus or perception to concentrate on looking out for yourself and the others.
You watch Jace and Marietta from afar under the trees to see if they trigger some sort of trap. A falling twig comes into your vision as it alerts you to someone holding a weapon jumping down from a high branch. You dodge the swing, but you are pushes away by the force of their fall.
In your view in a brunette haired woman holding a rapier like someone with experience. She makes a shush noise with her finger, looking back out by the regibot and to Tully. She smiles, "Hey pretty boy, let's see what you can do!"

Tully rolls onto his back, looking at the new arrival. Okay, woman with a sword. I can work with this. I hope.
He puts on a slight smile. "Not bad," he says quietly, "actually got the drop on me there. Not bad at all, miss... 'fraid I didn't catch yer name while you was droppin' outta the sky there." He moves slowly as he says this, hoping that he can get her talking long enough to stand up and defend himself.
