[attr="class","sound"] [attr="class","soslyr3"]no one can forget the [attr="class","soslyr"]H E R O [attr="class","soslyr4"]THEY WANT [attr="class","silence"] [attr="class","sosimg"] [attr="class","sosbg"] [attr="class","soswrite"] [attr="class","soswrite2"]Honestly when it came down to it Tyrus normally was fairly good with directions and maps. Normally. But here was this entirely different country that he had no real handle on that he… well. He really hadn’t a clue where he was going or what he was trying to do at this point. Originally he was supposed to be going to the ranger headquarters or at least the local branch.
That being said?
This was definitely not the local branch; in fact it was quite opposite. It was out in the wilds; quite a hike away from where the city of Russeton was he figured. The man had seemingly forgotten to buy a map and had just been winging it before. Taking in the sights and sounds…
Only to end up out here.
He was somewhat glad that he wasn’t expected for a couple days at least since they wanted him to be familiar with the layout of the city… But that’d help if he was in the bloody thing to begin with. Running his hand through his messy hair the man sighed and slid down a small ledge. Figuring that since he was going this way he might as well see where it led to. Maybe another town? Maybe a den of pokemon?
Heck maybe he’d stumble into some criminals or the like that were trying to do nefarious deeds that he could work against! Though that seemed unlikely given that he was pretty sure if criminals would be operating they’d be doing it far far away from where the rangers were more active in right?
The man adjusted when he landed at the bottom of the ledge, glancing back up and frowning slightly. Climbing up that was going to be a pain probably; so he hoped that there was a way for him to get back to where he was before. If not… once again. It was going to be frustrating.
Tyrus was fairly thankful that he wasn’t wearing his normal dress; deciding to go with a slim long sleeved button up and some cargo pants with some heavy boots. Sure when on duty and in business ventures he dressed up… but here? Well. It wouldn’t do him any good if he mussed up his normal outfits for work. His pokeballs strung about his waist in a pretty lazy way on some kind of belt. His hand drifting down to them when he heard someone talking.
Looking about it wasn’t too long until he found where the voice had come from. A younger woman; likely in her mid twenties, was sticking her head down a hole. Peering down it like there had been something there just a few moments ago. He’d shift a little bit and cough softly. Not wishing to really bother the person but… Lost was lost. But of course his first question had to be more about what was going on here than his own problems.

IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING
What was that...? Marinda heard a noise--the sound of Tyrus clearing his throat--but didn't recognize it at first. She did definitely understand the words he spoke next and she jumped a little, a small squeak of tense surprise leaving her as she whipped around to face him. "Oh! Uh... Hello there," she started, taking just a moment to think on what had been said to her. "Um, yes, actually! There... was a Diglett. I really wish he'd stuck around, he had a lot of spunk! I tried capturing him, but he said 'nope!' and fucked right off." She frowned at this fact, very obviously disgruntled by the ground-type's decision to leave rather than finish their fight, at least. Then she looked back to Tyrus and shrugged it off with a small sigh. "So! Anyway," she cleared her throat, "I'm Marinda. Marin if you prefer." The small woman wouldn't offer her hand to shake, always preferring to reciprocate such gestures rather than instigate them. She would certainly shake his hand if he moved to do so, though. 183 WORDS; Posts: 9/15; Party: Algar 3E, Aimee 2E, Charmander 3E, Sentret 3E

[attr="class","sound"] [attr="class","soslyr3"]no one can forget the [attr="class","soslyr"]H E R O [attr="class","soslyr4"]THEY WANT [attr="class","silence"] [attr="class","sosimg"] [attr="class","sosbg"] [attr="class","soswrite"] [attr="class","soswrite2"]Tyrus wasn’t entirely sure if he had caught the person here at a bad time; hearing that small squeak of surprise though made him shift ever so slightly away from her. Giving her the room that she needed if she wanted that level of comfort when meeting a stranger. He didn’t really blame her with her being a touch awkward; or what he felt was awkward.
”Diglett? Oh yeah. They’re sometimes difficult to catch aren’t they… Ground and all.”
Tyrus rubbed at his neck; yeah that added up. This person didn’t seem overly hostile and the story seemed genuine enough; then again he didn’t always need excitement in his life. There was enough of that getting to an entirely new country! Though he had to wonder why someone would want a diglet of all mons. Weren’t there others that’d be equally as useful?
”Is there any reason why you’re out for digletts specifically? Maybe I can give you a hand in finding another.”
If the reason was innocent enough he saw no harm in helping out this stranger; but given that she shrugged off the issue and followed suit with her introduction. Marinda was a name that he hadn’t run into before and hearing that he could call Her marin? Well he’d nod his head; keeping his distance for the moment.
His country preferred bows more than handshakes so he’d give her a small one; his was definitely a lot more proper than you’d expect from some guy wearing cargo pants, a long sleeved shirt and some boots though. The man blinked as he noticed something and quickly adjusted so he could pull on some gloves.
”My name’s Tyrus, Tyrus black. Most folks just call me Tyrus or Ty. Up to you on that one. Pleasure to meet you Marinda.”
Definitely a little too formal for out in the countryside; but honestly manners were important to tyrus. Even if it was a little silly. His mother would probably have a cow if she learned that he wasn’t keeping to proper etiquette even out and about like this.
”Gonna be honest though, touch lost. Managed to somehow end up out of Russeton and… well out here. Are we closer to the next city or is it easier to get back to Russeton from here?”
There was really no harm in asking right? Especially given that this young woman was fairly friendly; or at least he felt that she was friendly. Most people that weren’t would just… well sort of scoff and move on. It was something he had gotten used to in his family at least...

IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING
"Oh, well I wasn't specifically looking for a Diglett. I just figured since he popped up, he might've helped out really well with my farm," she explained, "I'm hoping to have a huge farm some day and having someone who can till the fields by simply... moving through them? Yes, please. Easy peasy." Marinda grinned at that, now excited to find another ground type that could help her like that. There were plenty of Pokemon she'd love to have for the farm, honestly, but the more she thought about it, the more she knew that any Pokemon could fit on her farm just fine. It would be a place for most anyone... Stopping herself before she got too lost in the daydream, she realized he had bowed. Oh, that was... She returned the bow, although not with the grace and poise of someone who'd done it all their life. As he explained that he was lost, she gave an expression of understanding and nodded her head. Turning to take a look at the position of the sun and then examined their surroundings before giving a half-hearted shrug. "If my assumptions are correct, we're about halfway through Route 3. Russetton is definitely closer to here than the next town. We have to travel through Route 2 before making it to Cerise City. You wandered quite a ways, huh? You're welcome to stick with me until we make it to Cerise. I'm pretty sure you can catch a ride back to Russetton from there."If need be, she'd turn around and head back to her hometown with him, but she really hoped to make it to one other city before returning. Meanwhile, some Pokemon were making their appearances nearby. A Sandshrew popping out of the ground and looking around and a Skiddo walking while grazing, getting a little closer as he went. 314 WORDS; Posts: 10/15; Party: Algar 3E, Aimee 2E, Charmander 3E, Sentret 3E

[attr="class","sound"] [attr="class","soslyr3"]no one can forget the [attr="class","soslyr"]H E R O [attr="class","soslyr4"]THEY WANT [attr="class","silence"] [attr="class","sosimg"] [attr="class","sosbg"] [attr="class","soswrite"] [attr="class","soswrite2"]”I can see how that’d help you out. There’s quite a list of mon’s that could probably help you out if that’s the case…”
Tyrus rubbed at his chin; so this woman was a farmer type? Or had aspirations to be a farmer? That was pretty interesting in itself; even though he was fairly well traveled he hadn’t really run into the sort that wanted to be that. Maybe it was also because he spent time in areas where farming wasn’t really the easiest? That said hearing that they were about halfway through route 3?
That sort of put him off a bit of where he was supposed to be. While russetton was closer to where they were than the next city over; the woman offered for him to accompany her to the city. It’d be easier than getting lost and ending up in another route or halfway across the continent. He’d nod his head after thinking this over.
”Just was taking in things; guess I didn’t realize until I was well out of the city. I’d appreciate the help so to speak. Definitely will be easier than trying to find my way back on my own.”
He’d manage a small smile and followed suit with a shrug; if there was a way for him to catch a ride back he’d go for that option. He had a few days to figure things out anyways; such was the delight of arriving early. Though if he missed his time when he was supposed to report in… wellllll. That could create some problems.
Seeing the pair of pokemon appear as if by fate Tyrus blinked and made a gesture towards the two. The sandshrew would definitely be a nice balance to his team he figured; but if the other was looking for ground types wouldn’t it be better for her? But then again skiddos could probably be good for a farm right?
”Well you might have some luck after all Marinda. Both of those would be kinda useful for a farm yeah?”
The man shifted ever so slightly; hand going down to one of his pokeballs. Should he try just tossing a ball at them rather than trying to fight them? Or should he try to soften them up just a little bit? While he didn’t mind the idea of either he wasn’t sure if he really should be battling with wild pokemon at the moment.
”That being said…”
He had a clear shot to where the sandshrew was; so he’d have to pop whisper out of her ball for the moment. The little charmander letting out a squeak of surprise before hiding behind his leg. The man blinked and looked down, reaching down to gently rub at the top of her head.
”Oh c’mon Whisper it’s nothing to worry about, just a little friendly shrew… and goat? Yeah I think skiddos are goats...”
The man snorted a bit before tossing the ball up and down in his hand; taking a moment to aim… and threw the ball right at the sandshrew! It was still looking around from what he could tell so maybe he’d get lucky and nab it for his new friend here if she wanted one of these?

IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING
That was great news! Having some company made her feel a little more at ease. She still had to wonder if those poachers would be trying to see if their trap had caught anything, after all, and who knew when they normally checked or how many more traps were along the route. When he gestured, she turned to look and perked up excitedly. A Skiddo! Grinning at him and his newly-released Charmander, she crept a little closer to the wild Pokemon. Considering for a moment, she decided taking a chance on another battle was a good idea. The grass-type hadn't yet noticed her but she also had a Charmander who she didn't really know how well she'd do. Having the same Pokemon was probably a good thing to bond over, too! Something to talk about and see how their Pokemon differed. Marinda released the Charmander she'd taken in earlier silently, the fire-type huffing slightly and slumping before glancing back at her. "I realize I said you could rest all you wanted," she mentioned apologetically, "but just... show me what you can do, yeah?"A low rumble of discontent came from the lazy Pokemon before she let out an Ember at the Skiddo. He bleated his surprise and pain, using Growth in preparation for a retaliation. The Charmander rushed in for a Scratch, trying to stay close but beside the wild Pokemon so she was more difficult to hit. It did mostly work but the Skiddo instead decided to use Tail Whip to catch his opponent off guard. As this was happening, Marinda was watching carefully and listening, taking in everything both Pokemon were doing so she could keep track of their capabilities and also listen to the sounds they were making so she could emulate them later. She was excitedly watching, not giving her newly caught Charmander orders so she could better learn her own style rather than force something different on her. The Charmander emitted a low Growl to negate at least some of the benefit the Skiddo would have, only to get caught by a Tackle. With a groan, the fire-type lifted herself back up and used Ember again. Taking a Vine Whip, she took hold of them, snarling. This left a perfect opportunity for Marinda to throw a Pokeball, with the Skiddo held relatively still by the Charmander. 393 WORDS; Posts: 11/15; Party: Algar 3E, Aimee 2E, Charmander 2E, Sentret 3E Attempting battle capture with Pokeball.

Tyrus gave a small blink as the sandshrew wasn’t just hit by the ball; but it also didn’t get out of it once it was inside. He’d watch it flick around for a few moments before the ball stilled and that little tone came from the darned thing. He’d quirk a brow and step forward to pick it up. His gloved hand twisting around it for a moment so he could look at the device.
”Spose there’s something to be said about a lucky first try… that or you’re just as lazy as I am.”
He’d let out a soft chuckle, glancing down to whisper who was staring at the pokeball. Suffice to say he was… well actually kind of surprised about all of this. Meeting someone new ontop of catching a new pokemon; though she said she wanted a ground type right? Maybe she’d like the sandshrew? It was no diglett but if memory served their evolution would be quite a digger…
He’d note that unlink his catching attempt that Marinda’s seemed to end with the ball being fine but the skiddo looking ready to take off. Should he help or just sort of stand off to one side. He didn’t think that they should and given that whisper was still clinging tight to his pants leg it wasn’t like he could order her to go do something that made her hugely uncomfortable.
”Easy girl, see? It’s in the pokeball now… and it looks like they’ve got it handled over there. Just watch.”
The man leaned over to gently rub at the top of whisper’s head; the charmander letting out a soft breath that was tinted with a bit of fire. Easing off of his pants leg while the man folded his arms; a small smile spreading on his lips.
”Well at least the ball didn’t break; round two?”
That last part was directed at Marinda; though he expected that with how hard she was going for it… The skiddo would also be a good addition to her future farm right? If she didn’t catch this here he’d probably keep an eye out for such a mon. Didn’t hurt to help out folks he figured; especially the first person that he ran into in the country that was seemingly so friendly.

Into the ball the Skiddo went and Marinda's Charmander looked relieved, only to be shocked by the wild Pokemon immediately popping back out. She screeched her disapproval and jumped in to Scratch the grass-type one more time for good measure, telling her opponent that it was time to just give up now, she didn't want to be doing this any more! The Skiddo responded by Tackling her and bleating about how she didn't need to do this in the first place. Marinda glanced over toward the other trainer who had apparently easily caught his Pokemon and gave an awkward chuckle before nodding and proceeding to toss a Pokeball again, clenching her fists and just willing the sphere to stay closed this time. 124 WORDS; Posts: 12/15; Party: Algar 3E, Aimee 2E, Charmander 2E, Sentret 3E Attempting battle capture with Pokeball.

[attr="class","sound"] [attr="class","soslyr3"]no one can forget the [attr="class","soslyr"]H E R O [attr="class","soslyr4"]THEY WANT [attr="class","silence"] [attr="class","sosimg"] [attr="class","sosbg"] [attr="class","soswrite"] [attr="class","soswrite2"]While whisper didn’t do much fighting like the other charmander he was at least proud of her for not running clear in the opposite direction of the sandshrew. Seeing her flinch from watching the other charmander made him sigh ever so softly; he’d ease down to scoop up the charmander into one arm. Holding her up like you would a baby and gently rubbing at the top of her head.
”Don’t worry it’s not going to go after you. See? They have it handled.”
Whisper would pop one of her eyes open and look over to where the fight was ongoing. The little lizard shifting nervously in her trainer’s arm. Her tail swishing back and forth; getting somewhat close to the trainer’s clothing before the little rascal realized what she was doing. Shifting slightly so that her tail could wag freely.
”Heh. Looks like this time it stuck. Must have been a tough goat.”
He’d manage another small smile to whisper before stepping over to take a look at the other charmander. Staying a good bit away so whisper didn’t balk. Was this one tougher than the counterpart that was currently being held like a baby? He couldn’t tell; but it was certainly a bit rougher. He’d turn his head to marinda; quirking a brow.
”So what’s this one’s name? This lil girl’s is whisper. She’s a bit shy around other mon’s… and new people but I think she’ll be just fine as long as you don’t go reaching for her tail.”
It wasn’t too uncommon for charmanders to be nervous with their tail flame right? Or was that just a whisper thing? Either way he would just rub at the top of his mon’s head; the charmander huffing out a small bit of flame from it’s mouth.
”So ground type for digging… What about the goat and this lil firestarter? What would they help with for the farm?”
Honestly he wasn’t really sure what all a farmer would want from certain pokemon and knowing more information about various jobs was never a bad thing… especially when you didn’t know where you’d end up in the future.

Even after that tell-tale 'ding!' that indicated a successful capture, Marinda was still clenching her fists in anticipation. Only after a moment of the Pokeball not moving did she withdraw one fist toward her chest excitedly. "Yes! Awesome," she expressed her delight and ran over to pick up the ball and give her own Charmander some head rubs. Then she looked to Tyrus and grinned as she tucked away the Skiddo's Pokeball. The fire-type looked up at Whisper being held so comfortably, looked back at her trainer, and lifted her arms up toward her. Ant chuckled and leaned down to pick her up before looking toward the other human again. "I haven't named her yet, actually. I usually wait until I've settled down after a trip to look up names online. I want the name to mean something, you know? I may just be overthinking it..." She shrugged a little, starting to walk a little as they continued talking. After all, she didn't want to lose too much light when they needed to go down yet another Route after this one. "Well, female Skiddo give really good milk! This one, I plan on breeding to get a female or two and he'll hopefully be a nice docile Pokemon I can ride around the farm to keep an eye on everything. As for this one," she said, looking down to the Charmander she held, who was looking delighted over being carried like this, "I hadn't thought about it too much. Maybe a protector? Once she's a Charizard, especially, she could just lounge around the farm and scare away most scavengers or poachers with her mere presence. Any that don't get the hint, I'm sure she'd treat with as much annoyance as she treated this Skiddo." She chuckled at that, but glanced over to Tyrus with a bright smile. "To be honest with you, I think any Pokemon could be great for a farm. What really matters is their personality. A more ferocious Charmander probably wouldn't fit well because they'd be too anxious just sitting around all day and would make better Pokemon for someone wanting to do the Gym Challenge. This girl and Whisper are better suited to less battle, I think." Marin smiled at Whisper at that, but then realized something. "So... what sort of thing do you do? Obviously I want to be a farmer, but what kind of goals do you have?"410 WORDS; Posts: 13/15; Party: Algar 3E, Aimee 2E, Charmander 2E, Sentret 3E, Skiddo: 2E

[attr="class","sound"] [attr="class","soslyr3"]no one can forget the [attr="class","soslyr"]H E R O [attr="class","soslyr4"]THEY WANT [attr="class","silence"] [attr="class","sosimg"] [attr="class","sosbg"] [attr="class","soswrite"] [attr="class","soswrite2"]Tyrus was fairly happy for the fact that marinda was able to catch the skiddo. It would help their farm quite a bit it seemed and with that in mind he’d give a small nod to the other. Hearing that the charmander didn’t have a name yet? Well the man mulled that particular bit over. Names did mean a lot for mons; whisper was one such mon that her name told everything about her just from a simple word.
”No you’re all right. I gave a lot of thought to whisper and Lilac. So I know how that can be.”
He’d pad along after the other; glancing back at where he had caught the sandshrew. Would they be happy running around with him? He’d have to talk to them later about it. Maybe see what they’d like to do. Whisper always enjoyed being carried and lilac was one of those ‘look but don’t touch’ sort of mons.
”A charizard as a protector makes sense.. A little extra training so they’ll be careful around the farm might be a good idea. Fire type and all.”
It didn’t really seem like the other was a firestarter; but then again they were still young right? He’d return the smile and nod his head. Any pokemon huh? It’d just come down to what sort of role they had and what sort of experience that they had beforehand.
”I suppose I can see that; I wouldn’t want a high energy protector unless there was a lot of ground to cover or if they could keep themselves busy… And you’d have the right of it; still trying to break her habit of hiding behind me with wild pokemon but… You saw just a bit ago haha...”
The man chuckled but then paused; what did he do? What sort of goals did he have? The man paused and looked down to whisper who was sort of staring out ahead of the quartet. She might have spotted something… or maybe she was thinking about something?
”What sort of thing do I do? Well… I’m a ranger. So I travel, go around and protect people; mons and stop criminals obviously. For goals? I’d say short term would be working on my communication skills with my mons, build some bridges… Long term? Well I’d say get strong enough to where I can protect a lot of people; I don’t really see myself in a position of power; too lazy for that. But I do see myself being someone people can rely on in the future. Or rather I want to be someone that others can rely on. Even if it’s a little bit- Hmm?”
Whisper seemed a bit restless and after a moment she’d get a bit more fussy; having the human let her down. Not a few moments later would he see why. There seemed to be a group of pokemon ahead of them; five or so torchic’s of various sizes and colors. One of which looked to be shiny…
And was that a Beldum hovering off to one side? What was it doing here? He’d furrow his brow just a little bit and motion to whisper who rather than get behind him took a step forward. She seemed nervous but maybe it was because of the sheer danger in front of them that… Well she wanted to at least do something.
”Smaller ones first and then we’ll go for the bigger brighter one in the middle.”
Tyrus gritted his teeth; hordes were fairly rare weren’t they? And with so many of the little birds well… It wasn’t going to be whisper who got the first move but the pair of rather small torchics. One after the other prancing forward with a speed faster than what whisper could match. Tyrus recognized the ability as quick attack; while another pair stayed back.
”Weather through it whisper. You’ll be okay.”
Though the shiny torchic seemed to be considering the lizard for a moment. It wasn’t too much longer before a solid WHACK to each of the other torchics that had attacked her followed suit. While she wasn’t necessarily a huge mon; these two were much smaller than her and with that resounding attack Tyrus took his chance. Tossing two pokeballs at the torchic’s one after the other.
”Try for the leader now…”
At the very least even if they didn’t stay in the balls; Whisper could focus on ‘bigger’ threat to her position. The lizard let out a small puff of fire in irritation which prompted the torchic to blow out it’s own fire in an attack. Though it wouldn’t do much to whisper normally the latter didn’t really appreciate the fact that the other had blown fire at it. She’d move out of the way, the fire scarring the ground… before retorting with a blaze of her own.
Though that didn’t really do much to the torchic; it furrowed it’s brows in irritation and charged forward, looking to scratch whisper; letting the other get close the charmander huffed and met claw with claw. Scratching at the other time and time again. Huffing in agitation while the other birds sort of circled her to see if they could get an opening here or there.
”Your claws will be better, try another scratch whisper!”
Suffice to say whisper shot a glance at the other two before slamming her claws into the shiny torchic’s side again. Making it squawk in surprise. Seeing that it was backing off for a moment the human took another chance. But rather than use a regular old pokeball… the man threw a ultra ball at it.
”Hordes are really nasty…”
Tyrus fidgeted around, he could tell the other two wanted to engage at least initially… but would it be a good idea for whisper to continue after those three? He didn’t think so...
