Topic: Unova Courtroom Shenanigans

Outside Nimbasa City Courthouse - At some point during the Holon arc

-O'Sullivan has met up with Jacob and Zeal outside the courthouse, with a Magnezone floating by his side.-

O'Sullivan: Right, way I see things, you two are in a spot of bother at the moment. Considering that it was Deimos of all people pressing charges against you, I reckon you could've gotten out of things pretty easily. At least, till your lawyer decided to pull a gun on the judge's bench. Now neither of you can leave the city without police escort, and that Slant guy working as Deimos' lawyer has you backed into a corner. Only way out is to get some witnesses on your side.

Magnezone: <...I'm certain there was a way to weave that expository recap into the dialogue more smoothly.>

O'Sullivan: So, who are you calling to the stand first?

Nimbasa City

Zeal: Let's see... I want to visit Challenger's Cave... There might be someone there I could call as a witness, or maybe some sort of leftover from the incident I can use to my advantage. Either way, I don't really have any other leads. I need something to go on.

(And then there's the fact that I attacked Jacob and O'Sullivan... That's something I've got to think about, too. But that case is less important right now. I don't need to focus on it yet. I've gotta defend Jacob successfully before I can start worrying about myself. Besides, Slant's my opponent in this one, and he's certainly going to be a problem...)

So... Yeah... I want to visit Challenger's Cave.

Nimbasa City

Jacob: Zeal, we have Duke as a witness already, but going to challenger's cave sounds like a good idea. You have free reign as long as you're with your one officer, right? Then you go there. I'll stick around here. If push comes to shove Slant may be a more... slanted... prosecutor than he appears. I'm going to dig around and see if there's a way to discredit him some how. Anyways, me leaving the city isn't a good idea. See if you can dig up other stuff, I'll be doing some investigating of my own around here, I think I'll be more useful that way. Is that alright with you, Zeal?

-O'Sullivan raises an eyebrow at Jacob.-

O'Sullivan: Y'know, you shouldn't talk about how best to discredit your opponent's lawyer in front of an Interpol officer. Fortunately for you, I'm gonna let that one slide, since I wanna see Deimos put away as much as you do. I can give you access to Slant's records, but as I've mentioned before, the man's very good at leaving no paper trail.

Jacob: What? No no no, I meant discredit him through entirely legal means! I'm not going to cheat. I want to see if there's anything... questionable, about his past or him that gives us some wiggle room. And that'd be immensely helpful, thanks.

O'Sullivan: Alright, I'll run down to the archives and get them. Remember, either of you go running off without a police escort and assault charges will be the least of your worries.

Re: Unova Courtroom Shenanigans

Nimbasa City, during the Holon arc and such

Zeal: Well, Challenger's Cave it is, then.

-He nods to a man in a police uniform that has totally been with him the entire time.-

Zeal: Shall we go, then, Mr. Shane?

-Shane nods, and the two walk off.-

-After about twenty minutes or so, O'Sullivan reemerges from the courthouse, leafing through a folder full of files.-

O'Sullivan: Here's his files. Like I said, we've got pretty much nothing on the guy. His credentials are all in order, but he's only presided over a handful of cases in his career - winning pretty much all of them - and it's like he just disappears in the interim between cases. He only offers his services privately, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern to his clients.

Re: Unova Courtroom Shenanigans

Nimbasa- Prior to Orre and after Unova-2

Jacob: -Waves to Zeal- Any pattern to the cases he takes? And nothing on the man himself? No acquaintances, no contacts, no records of where he got his license or... anything?

I don't want to resort to stalking the man himself... the guy gives me the creeps. But if there's some way I can prove he's not above playing dirty... I need to find it.

Re: Unova Courtroom Shenanigans

Nimbasa City - At some point during the Holon arc

O'Sullivan: Like I said, he hasn't seen enough cases for any kinda pattern to emerge. He helped a bunch of alleged ex-Galactics in Sinnoh dodge charges about four years ago, but nothing more than that. Apparently he got his license in Castelia thanks to a sponsorship from one Lawrence Cain about thirty years back. Aside from that, though, the man could stand in a closet when not in use for all we know.

Jacob: ..........

Titan.

I should have known he'd be related to this...

Okay. So aside from clear ties to Galactic, and winning cases without exception, we don't have much?

O'Sullivan: That's the gist of it. There's something fishy about the guy, but I can't put my finger on what.

Jacob: I know what you mean...

I get the same feelings...

Hm... little information they may have, they might be useful later. Might as well record what he said in my handy dandy notebook...

Mr.Slant documents added to notebook!

-Nods- Thanks for the help. I think that's all I need from you. I think... it's time I paid a visit to Mr. Richard Lane.

O'Sullivan: Considering that he's pressing charges against you, it'd have to be under police escort and with his consent. If you follow me to the interview rooms, we might be able to get something set up.

-He heads back into the courthouse.-

Re: Unova Courtroom Shenanigans

Zeal: Are you aware that you are suspected of committing A VIOLENT CRIME-ISH THING?!

-Shane glares at Zeal.-

Shane: What are you doing?

-Zeal points at Finn dramatically.-

Zeal: I ACCUSE YOU! Take him away, he's a witness. AND the real criminal.

(Actually, this probably isn't going to go over well at all... maybe I should have thought this through more. Ah, well. If I accuse anyone I find in this cave of attacking Deimos, I'm bound to find someone who'll confess eventually. Eh, but that's kinda cheap...)
