Olivia walked briskly out of the Pokemon Center, dragging the other two trainers in tow.
As soon as they were out of earshot, she turned serous.
"We need a place to talk, and we need it fast."

Marcus grumbled about being practically dragged from the Pokémon Center, but he got over it because of the pressing situation. "I gather. I know a few caves and such around where I live in Harena Town, but that's not exactly convenient.. And what are we looking for in a place? Literally just a place to talk? Or a real hide-out, Team Aqua style?" He was speaking a little exasperatedly, a remnant of his earlier temper tantrum.
Marcus looked around, trying to be casual. Was anyone following them? He wanted to let Noivern rest, but the Pokémon could give them an aerial view...

Aden held his arms crossed grumpily the whole time. He did not like being made a scapegoat.
"Right, I don't think we need to go too far into full hideout mode - the sooner this is over the better. Chances are tracers are on our pokegears, and our gyms and homes are being staked out."
He paused to sigh, but put a hand to his forehead.
"What's the most remote place you can think of?"

Olivia rolled her eyes at the two, taking off with Wake in close pursuit. She ducked behind a bakery, producing a bobby pin from her hair.
She quickly picked the lock, and ducked into the bakery.
The occupants had just left for the afternoon, and the back room was deserted and dark. Olivia snuck into the front, snagging an eclair before returning to the back room, to see if the other two had followed.

Marcus followed Olivia. He hesitated when she broke into the store, but entered anyway. He eyed a cake, but didn't take anything.
"Beggars can't be choosers," he muttered sullenly. "So, now that we're actual criminals, what's the plan? Got any leads on how to rescue Kurtis?"

Aden made a face when Olivia went full break-in, but shrugged it off and followed after the both of them. He closed the door behind him and closed his eyes to think.
"Well, my guess is they want us too. If anything they'll use him as bait."
He clenched his fists and tried to focus a bit more.
"We could always turn ourselves in and make it a fight that way" he mused, though it was clear how much doubt he actually had for that plan.

"The guy who brought me here, he told me the whole Elite Four is in on it, with Giulia. I say we start at Haven Corp."
She pondered for a moment, wolfing down a second baked delight.
"They're looking for Aden and me, but you."
She turned to Marcus, pointing. Wake growled at the trainer.
"You can help us get into Haven Corp."

"Right. I was thinking something along those lines... "
Marcus looked around the dark room. He put a hand on LegBiters pokeball.
"I have good Pokemon and I'm no coward. But we're going to need something to plan around. Blueprints of corporate headquarters, maybe. Staking out their guard shifts. Knowledge, mostly. Unless one of you happens to know where everything is and how to go and find who we want?"
Marcus paused, thinking of a new idea.
"Or unless Haven Corp hires me. They'd probably give me some kind of layout of the building so I can do my job, and I'd be in a position of advantage to steal information and get you two key cards."

"The issue with that, is that Lisa knows your face and your Noivern and likely will inform her sister if she sees you."
Aden looked right at Marcus.
"By now though, there's likely a bounty out for the both of us. If you were to be collecting on it though..."
He thought a bit more about it.
"It might be the fastest way."

"Not on both of us. He should bring you in, Aden. I know Fiume well enough. I'll sneak in through the canals beneath the building. I'm going to need one of you two to reach the basement and unlock the hatch, though."
She looked at Wake, and back at them.
"I can hold my breath for a while, but my diving equipment is at my gym, where we can't get it. I'll need one of you in place before I can get in."

Marcus nodded, considering the plan as it took shape.
"So I take Aden in. Wont we be given an escort. This is assuming that delivering Aden is enough to get Lisa and Her sister's limited trust."
Considering his own question, Marcus said,"We need a distraction or an excuse of some kind to get to the basement, don't we?"

"A second option would be I turn myself in with the guise of leading to the end of this..."
He sighed.
"That could be enough for Marcus to slip in while I'm distracting them."

"This is starting to sound like a plan!" Olivia smiled.
Wake waddled toward the front, grabbing a croissant.
The sound of keys jingled in the front door.
"Time to go!" she motioned, grabbing hold of the Wartortle and ducking out the back door.

Marcus glanced quickly in the direction of the jingling keys before hurrying after Olivia.
He walked with her quickly for a while, glancing back to see if Aden was there, before deciding they'd put enough distance between themselves and the bakery.
"So, now I'm going to sneak around Haven Corp? And after getting you in through the canal, we go back through to rescue the newly captured Aden, maybe Kurtis, and take down The Champion?" Marcus went over the plan quietly.

Aden hurried after, not too happy with this plan but figured it was their best chance.
"Sounds like the quick digest version, yeah."
The fire trainer let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
"What a mess."
