Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well, more then half of my Pokemon friends I just summon, but some I carry in Pokeballs. Pokeballs can be good tools in the hands of good people to develop friendships and to develop rich enough bonds to summon Pokemon using Guardian signs. You can be friends, and they can love you, but getting their unique summoning sign to form in your mind is on a wholely different level, it can take time. More experienced Rangers can develop the bond faster then those who are less experienced. I aspire for the day when I never have to carry another Pokeball, though." Rose explained

"And if you are interested in more events in the Ranger Union regions, then in my homeland of Almia, Team Dim Sun used an artifact called the Shadow Crystal to power their The Incredible Machine, yo take control of all Pokemon on the entire planet. The Rangers gathered these three gems needed to destroy the shadow crystal and to put an end to their incredible machine. In desperation, they turned the Incredible Machin'e power upon a Pokemon called Darkrai, to enslave it, but Darkrai broke free from their control and trapped them in a world of shadows nd nightmares. Darkrai's anger was truly incredible, but the Pokemon Ranger's calmed him, then purified the shadow crystal, which had absorbed Negative feelings over thousands of years, and Darkrai freed those he had trapped. In the Process of that final battle, the Power of the three mysterious gems had altered the styler of the Ranger who calmed Darkrai, in what came to be called Vatonage. Professor Hastings studied the energy of the three gems and the way that they altered that particular styler, and he invented an updating Styler based on his findings" Rose pointed at her own Styler "I received this when I was reansferred from Almia to Oblivia, though that was after the whole ordeal with the Pokemon Pinchers there. The Pinchers sought to control legendary Pokemon too, but there was a legend from thousands of years ago about a man that befriended the three legendary dogs, Raikou, Suicune, and Entei, and could create signs and summon them, but this was viewed as a myth. However, the upgraded styler's had that potential, and a particular Ranger rose up to do just that, he befriended the three dogs and they helped him to thwart the Pokemon Pinchers plans. Only because of him were we made away of this potential in our stylers. Oh, and as for that legend, it may be that the legend from thousands of years ago was about the very same ranger that defeated the Pinchers. Hel also befriended a Pokemon called Celebi and journeyed into the past for some purpose, though the precise details were never told to me. I just deduce that since he did travel back in time, perhaps the legends from thousands of years ago were always about him, like it was destined or something. And these three incidents all happened within a few short years of each other, but other then those three incidences, Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia have enjoyed close to 60 years of peace, since Professor Hastings first invented the Capture Styler and founded the Pokemon Rangers. Who knows, maybe the influence of Pokemon Rangers will begin reaching further and further now that our stylers are so much more powerful then they were for a long time."

Me: What are you so smiley about?
Sharpedo: twisted

Me: I'll take it I don't want to know...

Rose was out for a walk with her Sylveon, examining her newly acquired Town Map for the Unova region, and she wasn't really paying as much attention to her surroundings as she should have been. "Veeeon" Sylveon said in warning, using her ribbons to grab ahold of Rose before she could crash into Rei.

"Huh?" Rose looked up from the map and looked at Rei and his Zubat "Oh, hello, sorry about almost walking into you. Where are you heading?"

"I had no plans. I was just getting this map and learning a bit about the place" Rose explained "I suppose I could check out Anville Town too, since I have no plans anyway."

Caleb was already in Nimbasa when he got the message from Rei. A train ride huh? Better than sitting around doing nothing.

"We're here." Caleb messaged back.

He sat on a bench in the subway station waiting for the others. His Noibat was curled up in his lab. Marshtomp sat beside them, kicking his little legs as they dangled off the bench.

Rei and Rose hopped onto the train headed for Nimbasa City while they continued converstion.

"I'd like to believe Team Plasma isn't everywhere in Unova," he said as the train began to move. "Not even Team Flare was that obnoxious in their control over territory." In a very short while, the train stopped at the hub in Nimbasa, and the two were greeted by a bored Caleb and easily entertained Marshtomp.

"Hello Caleb," Rei called out as he headed towards the latest addition to the small group. The Countess waved her hello to the relaxed Noibat. Rei glanced at the clock; the train to Anville would be departing shortly.

"Come on, I think the wait time for Anville is an hour if we don't catch this train."

Caleb and his pokemon climbed on the train after it had arrived and the doors slid open. He found a couple empty seats before plopping down in one, Marshtomp following suit.

Caleb looked up as he heard Rei.

"Hey," he said with a nod.

Noibat gave a squeak and a little wave to the Countess. Caleb and his pokemon ignored the occasional glances from strangers on the train. Pokemon outside of Unova were rare for sure, but not unheard of. Caleb looked like quite the tourist.

Rose chuckled and petted Sylveon "Well, Zubat's are pretty common in pretty much every region, except for Orre, I here, I guess that makes us pretty interesting with a Noibat and Sylveon here" she guessed "Which is not to say that there is anything wrong with Zubat, it is an awesome Pokemon too."
