"Oh no, Vance. " 
Autócrata: "Vince"
"Vince"

The banette tossed back the 1000 pokes

"After what you've just said there is no way our journey is over, and you ain't paying until the travel is over, that was the deal."

The real intention was to keep Vince and Jacks at debt with the Bad Rulers so that they had an excuse in case the SneakyNinja team decided to ditch them. When he finished the phrase, Déspota felt the power and speed of the previous boosts fading away, which made him stop for a moment and lower his head to make a silent inner cry. He then remembered something and looked around

"Has anyone seen Alice?"

She had completely disappeared through the whole fight. It was suspicious that any of the wild pokemon had tried to attack her, but she also hadn't made any attempt to aid the rest of the group when they were in trouble, however it could just be that she was just weaker than the rest and at the minor presence of trouble she had hidden somewhere. Just like that, the gourgeist appeared by passing levitating through a wall, revealing that she was also a ghost type. She then spoke to the group

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I cannot continue further."

Alice lowered her head showing resentment and with a bit of shame she continued

"I'm just too weak to continue, I don't think I would be able to face any of the pokemon in the Hidden Land, so I would only be a nuisance. I'll be waiting for you guys in Treasure Town."

Déspota started to move the mouth like he was rinsing before opening the zip and sticking the tongue out with an egg shaped emblem that had the strange power to send pokemon back to safety, but the gourgeist rejected it

"No, you don't need to use it. I have a escape orb and I'll rest here for a while before returning. The sea breeze is nice and I enjoy walking back by myself."

"Alright then. But be careful (We still have a deal, remember?)"

With that said, they all went on the lapras and they all went to the sea. It didn't took long before they were engulfed by the mist and they couldn't see anything surrounding them. Some more minutes of uncomfortable silence followed before Tirano was able to point the donphan in the room, or on the lapras.

"WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT YOU TWO BEING HUMAN? WHATS A HUMAN ANYWAY? WHY ARE YOU TWO CALLED LIKE THE PREVIOUS HEROES? WHY..."

"OH GOD STOP SHOUTING, TIRANO! MY HEAD STILL HURST AFTER LOOSING THE CALM MIND STATUS!"
Autocrata shouted, but Dictador went one step ahead and gladly slapped the face of the gasthly and calmed him down, then Déspota then repeated the question

"Although it's true, everything seems very suspicious, if you ask me. Care to make some explanation?"

--------

"Mister 5, are you capable of following them?"

"Of course, miss 7, art thou doubting mineth capabilities?"

"Be careful, we do not want to be seen"

"Don't worryeth, they wouldn't maketh shift seeth me yea if they look'd directly in our direction"
