"Well, going to the Safari was my idea, even if you were late and missed it, unfortunately, so why don't you pick something?" Rose suggested "And maybe,whatever you decide, we can invite some of the others, if you want too."

Michael thought about it for a minute before asking. "Want to head to route 4 Rose?" He had read a little on the area and had wanted to check it out.

Rose nodded "Sure, it's been a while since I was last on route four" Rose agreed "It was before I even knew Team Aqua existed. It hasn't been that long, but it seems like a lifetime ago" she started walking out of the train and into the Lumiose City Train Station.

IrIshInjun95 Michael followed Rose out of the train station before asking. "If you don't mind me askin' which region are you from Rose?""Originally I am from Almia, but I've also lived in Oblivia and Fiore" Rose answered as they were leaving the station "Not sure if you've even heard of them, they are pretty small compared to Kalos, I suppose, but nice enough. What about you? Where are you from?"

Michael looked at Rose and replied. "Me I am from the Hoenn region. I heard about Team Aqua from my father Professor Birch and decided to join." What are your regions like Rose? Sorry to ask I have only been to my region and this one."

IrIshInjun95 Michael looked at Rose and replied. "Me I am from the Hoenn region. I heard about Team Aqua from my father Professor Birch and decided to join." What are your regions like Rose? Sorry to ask I have only been to my region and this one.""Well, they are all governed by the Ranger's Union." Rose answered "Pokemon Rangers are the highest law in all three of those regions, and as such confining Pokemon in Pokeballs is illegal there, as is possession of Pokeballs. They are not like Pokemon Rangers in Kalos or Hoenn or basically anywhere else, because everywhere else they have a presence and help out where they can, but they are not the highest law in the land, and those rangers are not bound by the same restrictions as the Rangers of Almia, Oblivia, and Fiore are. But all three lands are really beautiful, especially Oblivia, which is a region made up of a lot of very beautiful small islands, so almost everywhere you go there are ocean views. Uh, traveling around Oblivia probably isn't so convenient for the common fold there,lots of boats, so you have tides and clouds and sch things to worry about, but the rangers fly all over the place, there are lots of friendly Sta raptors always happy to assist the Ranger's Union. There are lots of Staraptors in Almia and Fiore too, it's pretty much the Pokemon Rangers' there preferred means of travel in those lands. They are all wild, though, not captured."

IrIshInjun95 "Well I guess I won't be welcome there then. But they sound amazin'. What other regions have you seen?" "Kalos" Rose chuckled "This is my first journey outside if those three regions, which is why I was so new to battling when I first joined the team. I used to rely on my capture styler and got Pokemon to cooperate and help me out, but new land, new rules" she explained "I left my Styler with Professor Sycamore so that I could learn to get by without it. It is top-of-the-line technology, though. The Ranger Union has not yet managed to top the Oblivia Styler in terms of overall power, durability, and technology in general, but they are costly to make and not mass-produced either, only distributed to those Rangers working in the Oblivia Region. Oh yeah, I used to be a Pokemon Ranger" she spotted the Gate to route 4 "Our destination is that way." she pointed

Rei sighed. His work had been piling up on him as of late.
"Too much research to be done, never enough hours in the day." He turned to a Zubat that was nibbling on a candy.
"I suggest we take a break. I've been at this for hours, and could use fresh air." His companion nodded and swooped into the comforting shade of his hood, her usual spot when he went outside during the day. As he descended the stairs to the lobby of the hotel, his thoughts drifted to his latest work.
He mentioned a weapon. That could be anything. But why would he need a Legendary Pokémon for it? We could always go to the Legendary Pokémon before he does. But where would it be? I'd have to know the legends of the region to get anywhere close to the answer. He sat on a couch and stared out the window.
If there's one thing I've learned while being on this team... Legends may as well be as credible as science and history records. He gave an almighty sigh and shook his head.
"Never enough hours in the day, and too much research to be done, Countess." His Zubat nuzzled her head against his cheek, as if to reassure him. He laughed.
"You're right. I need a break." He stretched and flipped through a few pamphlets.
"Huh. There's supposed to be a market in this city. Maybe they'll have some exotic goods?"
He rose and looked down at his TADS. A friendly reminder from his calendar marked today's important detail:
His Pokémon were to evolve. He grinned.
"Well, today's the day. Magikarp's shining moment." A goal in mind, he rushed out the hotel and to the waterside. He hesitated a moment, then tossed out his Poké Ball.
"Go on, Magikarp. Do what you have to." A very excited Magikarp leaped from its constraining ball and splashed into the ocean. He stayed submerged for a few minutes, Rei waiting excitedly at the shore.
Magikarp swam twenty feet underwater before glowing a brilliant yellow.
It was time.
While Magikarp was off being dramatic, Rei sent out his Venipede and Horsea. He leaned in close and whispered to them.
"Don't be too obvious about it. He's been waiting his whole life for this moment." He smiled warmly at them, proud of their accomplishments.
Venipede was first to evolve, curling itself into a ball and spinning in place rather rapidly, until it was but a blur. When it finally slowed down, a Whirlipede was looking up at Rei, content with its new form. The Horsea, surprisingly modest about the evolutionary process, hopped behind a bush and emerged a Seadra.
The seaside flashed a brilliant white light. Rei removed his cloak, knowing it wouldn't do him any good in a moment. Ten feet away, the sea churned and frothed in excitement.
WHOOOSH!
A six-and-a-half metered sea serpent lunged out from the water and roared, frightening the Whirlipede and Seadra at the shore. In a flash, it rushed towards the small group, stopping its head inches from Rei's.
The two stared each other down for a long minute, neither blinking or conceding an inch. Rei was very aware of the mental changes that his teammate underwent. Evolution to a Gyarados was a dangerous gamble for a Trainer; some owners of Magikarp were killed by their former partners, usually due to fear or lack of recognition.
At last, the Gyarados looked away. He remembered his friend, his partner who had saved him from certain death a long time ago.
Gyarados smiled, perhaps the most frightening thing Rei witnessed throughout the event.
Rei smiled back, albeit a bit more weakly. Gyarados swam to the sea and decided to test his super-splash attack that he had been working on since he was a Magikarp. He raised his tail, and with a ferocious cry, slammed it down against the sea.
His super-duper-secret-attack! Aqua Tail!!!
A tidal wave rushed out from the energy of the tail slam. Rei quickly recalled his Pokémon and left the city, not wanting to be identified and jailed for a huge amount of damage that Gyarados could cause.
He found himself in the south side of Lumoise City.

Michael looked at the gate and then remembered that he should probably send a message out to the others to see if they wanted to join. He pulled out his TADS and sent a message stating, 'Headin' to Route 4 anyone care to join?' He then turned to Rose and asked. "Whats it like bein' a ranger Rose. Sorry for so many questions."

Rei looked down at the posted message on his TADS.
"What luck, I'm already here." He looked up and headed off to the gate, arriving in time to hear the question presented to Rose. He waved hello to the two and joined in on their conversation.
"I've wanted to know that as well. I remember hearing grand stories about Rangers. Any truth to them?" He smiled at the young girl.

Sorry for so many questions.""Well, on one hand it's pretty fun, the Rangers tend to be very nice people who care a lot about other people, they take their duty to other rangers and to bystanders very seriously. There are schools in Fiore and Almia where prospective rangers get years of training to learn all they need to know, so there are certainly challenging parts, nut I still think it was an all-around good experience" Rose explained "I don't mind the questions" she spotted Rei nearby and waved at him

Rei nodded in understanding.
"I figured it'd be a tough path to follow. What made you decide to become a Trainer instead, then?"
