NICHOLAS ANDY DIAS song of the moment: fences // paramore
in character * As he opened his eyes, the first thing he thought was that he'd gone blind. He blinked harshly, trying to see the shapes in front of him. He moved his hand over his face, examining the way it twisted back and forth before his eyes. It was hard to see it, but it was there. Or was he just imagining it?
He frowned, shaking his head. He slowly got to his feet, shivering slightly as he felt the chill in the air that accompanied the heavy fog that had settled over Cheyenne. He felt like he could feel every time drop that touched his skin. It was an uncomfortable feeling, and he longed to get out of the dense fog coverage. Scowling, he looked down at the floor (or what he could see of it) and began to count the steps that he took before he finally saw the sign he had seen yesterday.
Biting his lip, Nick began to realize that he had gone to sleep with a decision still rolling in his head. Check out this strange Ranger thing, or go immediately to the lab? That's what he'd done in his last region -- just waltzed right to the lab after reaching solid ground. But that was because he had no choice.
Finally making his choice, he twisted towards the Ranger Station, making his way slowly down the path, hoping that he wouldn't run into a Pokemon on his way there. He began to think back to his old region, when he'd received his starter Pokemon: an Electrike. He was bubbling and very puppy-like. He'd grown fond of the Pokemon quickly; Coron had never failed him. He was still waiting for him in the other region, in case he ever decided to go back...
He shook his head, sighing. Coron hadn't been a puppy for quite some time. He was a full-fledged Manectric, and very powerful. He thought back to the other Pokemon on his team there: a shy Carracosta who he'd befriended when he was a tiny Tirtouga; a fierce Beartic that he'd captured after defeating on a rocky ship in the middle of the frosty seas; a Krookodile that seemed to fight with that Beartic for 'fiercest of them all', and an Ariados who he had met at a cafe-slash-adoption agency. Each of the Pokemon had special meaning to him, as well as the Pokemon that ended up residing in his PC after some time.
Nick, however, knew it was time to move on. Too many bad memories -- and while the good memories were numerous, it was better to step away from a while and just breathe. The thought had brought him here to Cheyenne. How odd. He figured that he might go to one of the common regions such as Johto or Hoenn, or perhaps even Kanto, but he liked the smaller regions. They provided character.
When he finally noticed a faint glowing from around a bend, he picked up the pace until he was face-to-face with the Ranger Station. He examined the station, taking a deep breath before walking in. He blinked as his visibility cleared, glad to be able to see again. What was with that fog? It was ridiculous.
Nick looked around nervously, not sure what to expect. Should he suspect something? He wasn't sure.
"Hello?" He called, feeling slightly uncertain.

::rangerf:: Ari Drack - Middle head Draffle - Right head Draa - Left head
The tent was oddly quiet. Not a soul to be seen, well, for a split second. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Hydreigon came flying through behind Nick and dashed to float about a chair and a desk, most likely the welcome station. The three heads began bickering to each other, if Nick could understand...then he would be very confused.
The middle head began glaring at the right head, who was just kinda tilting his head in confusion with a stupid look. <I told you that Ari didn't wanna go for a swim!> The middle head said, biting the right head angrily. The right head swayed out of the way of the multiple bites and lowered his head and grumbled words under his breath. The left head frowned and kept her distance from the middle head. She said nothing but clearly had something on her mind.
Coming in behind the Hydreigon was a soaked female ranger. Her hair was dropping wet and all down, her clothes were soaked too. She didn't have a happy face on either. Ignoring Nick and walking right past him she squeezed her hair to get the water out. She then looked up at Nick and sighed, trying to regain her head.
Unhappily and in a monotone voice Ari began speaking. "Welcome to the ranger station, how may I help you?" She was so cheerful right now, wasn't she?

NICHOLAS ANDY DIAS song of the moment: fences // paramore
in character * Nick jumped slightly as a large Hydreigon flew in behind him, three heads bickering. He grinned; though he'd never seen one before, he was amused by the fact that all three heads seemed to have thoughts of their own. <"I told you that Ari didn't wanna go for a swim!"> one of the heads chided to the others.
Nick frowned at the words before suddenly a (very) wet female ranger came in behind him, seeming to be slightly bitter. He put two and two together quickly, realizing that one of the Hydreigon heads must have pushed her into what must have been either a large pond or a lake.
As the ranger, who he now assumed was named Ari, began to ask him how she could help him, he smiled warmly.
"Hello, there," he said, trying not to sound nervous. Why should he be nervous? "My name is Nick. I saw the little sign out there pointing to this place -- I guess my first question is what is the Ranger Station?"

Ranger Ari & Drack (middle), Draffle (right) & Draa (left) ! Ari shook her hands towards the ground to get some stray droplets off. How dearly she wanted to squeeze out her clothes too! -- but that'd give them wrinkles, so she refrained as she concentrated on Nick. Her eyes focused unconsciously on his green eyes, admiring them in a way. But she didn't make it too obvious, since she was a professional at her job.
"I'm Ari, a Ranger here. The Ranger Station is essentially a natural reserve for all the species of wild pokemon - sans ultra rare ones, since they'd be in danger of going extinct in there." She explained. "We decided to allow trainers to get a pokemon at random if they so chose, since it helps balance the population." She concluded. The random pokemon thing, she'd neglected to say, was also for their amusement at tallying up how many new trainers got magikarp, caterpie, or nosepass, and their faces at these creatures. It was absolutely hysterical.
Keeping her air of professionalism about her, Ari continued, "So, are you here for a pokemon?" She whipped her hair to the side again and squeezed more droplets out. Phew, much less than before.
On the sidelines, the large Hydreigon had settled down a little. Drack, the middle head, had noticed how shy Draa was acting and attempted to lick the timid right head. Draa instinctively leaned away, letting out a small whimper. <No licking, I told you!> She half growled, half whined. But Drack licked her all up her neck, making the previously tentative head rumble loudly with annoyance. Draffle was watching them with interest. All he needed now were 4x zoom binoculars.

in character * Nick listened quietly as the girl explained to him about what the place was. He looked around it, more intrigued, now. A random Pokemon? He smiled at the thought. Jeez, if only he had this option for his first starter experience. He didn't even know the difference between them; he'd picked the one that looked the coolest.
But a random one? Well, he knew that every Pokemon had their own strengths. Even a simple Weedle could turn into a cold-blooded fighter if the trainer didn't give up on them. And Nick was never much of a fan of giving up others while training.
He nodded at her question before speaking. "That sounds fantastic, yes," he said. "I would love to receive a Pokemon."
He was distracted momentarily by the Hydreigon, amused by their interaction. He grinned slightly as the middle head licked its comrade against their desire, the other just watching with what looked like mild interest. He'd never really looked at Hydreigon until now; he could imagine them always be interesting, as it was essentially three personalities into one.

As the three heads of Ari's Pokémon were interacting with each other, a Piplup quickly walked into the ranger tent unnoticed as it was simply looking for something, although it was not clear what this something is. The Piplup quickly spotted Nick and immediately went up to the trainer and tried to tap him on his legs. >Excuse me. Excuse me. But have you ever seen Neverland?< He asked. Right when the three heads of Ari's Pokémon saw the Piplup speaking, they all freaked out. Draa was shy and tried to run away from the pokemon, which Drack quickly attempted to stop by jumping in front of her and trying to shield her. >I'll protect you!< She said in a sisterly way. Draff on the other hand began to zoom in on the Piplup and started to feel hot and bothered inside. The Piplup paid no attention to those three though. They gave the poor penguin the creeps!

in character * Nick watched the Hydreigon silently, before suddenly he noticed a small Piplup making its way indoors.
Which freaked out the Hydreigon. He jumped, immediately picking up the Piplup in full intent of protecting it. He laughed nervously as the Hydreigon heads bickered, but his attention was drawn to the Piplup in his hands. <"Excuse me. Excuse me. But have you ever seen Neverland?">
Nick smiled warmly, laughing. "No, I have not," he told the little Piplup. "Have you?" He could tell that the Piplup was friendly and, well, it seemed like it would be an interesting character personality-wise if that was the first question that it asked. He grinned at the little Water type Pokemon, marveling at how... well, cute it was. He'd never seen them as that. Then again, he'd never seen one for himself.
He then looked at Ari, smiling. "So... can I have this little Piplup as my starter?"
out of character * Oh dear. xD I've never been a fan of Piplup... but THAT'S COOL I'll learn to be a fan. P:

::Rangerf:: ::Hydreigon:: Ranger Ari and her dragons >Yes I have seen Neverland. It is the place that we all live in before an evil queen put a spell on us and brought us here. We have to go and beat the evil queen! We just have to! We need to defeat her and her dragon!< The Piplup said out loud. Luckily Ranger Ari did not understand because it would have been bad if she did... And luckily the three heads weren't paying too close of an attention to the Piplup or that could have been bad also. Because she was a girl with a dragon, so she could have easily been mistaken for the evil queen... >You are also a part of this. You are the hero! You will bring peace to us!< The Piplup said. Jumping up and down and flapping it's wings to make the point come across as more serious. Meanwhile, Ari quickly smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, this is your starter pokemon. Would you like your starter kit also?" She asked as she waited for a response before going to the back and getting it... ::Piplup:: Level 5 | Gender: You choose Attacks: Pound, Growl, Signal Beam Personality: A big dreamer, thinks that everyone around is a fairy tale character. [OOC]: Piplup is one of my favorite starters xD

in character * As the Piplup responded, Nick smiled warmly, immediately putting two and two together and laughing lightly. "Oh, I'm the hero, eh? And there's an evil queen and a dragon that I have to defeat?" He teased lightly, before noticing that Ari was talking to him again.
As he listened to her question, he nodded. It was always nice to have a pack of items to start out with; especially if they had the essentials like Potions and Pokeballs.
"Oh, uh, yes, that would be fantastic, thank you," Nick said, before turning back to the Piplup. "So, is this a rescue mission for just you, or is an entire nation that I'm saving?"

ari , drack (mid), draffle (right), draa (left)
the piplup stared at nick. " you are a hero sent down to save the whole world! " he was getting excited with this new discovery, hopping up and down with enthusiasm. " the fabled knight of the century! you have to save us from the evil queen! quick, quick! " the blue penguin went to tug on the trainer's sleeve, wanting to take the trainer to the first leg of their journey.
ari smiled, before turning around and heading into a flap of tent to grab the essentials. meanwhile, the piplup blabbed on. " a rescue mission to save not only me, but the whole world! if you don't, we'll all explode come the next year, when everything lines up at twelve! it's an omen! " he was starting to scare himself, as he shuddered deeply with the thought of the earth exploding or something.
the female ranger returned with a bag, a poke'ball symbol printed boldly on the side. " inside this are some poke'balls, a poke'dex, berries, and a few potions. make sure that when you leave, you take the route just past the lab marked 'ROUTE ONE', or else you'll get lost. " next, she pulled out a red-and-white ball, formally known as a poke'ball. " this is piplup's ball. take good care of him for us! "

in character * Nick laughed at the Piplup's response, grinning happily. "Well," Nick said, the grin not leaving his face, "I guess I have a lot of work to do if I need to save the world by the time 'everything lines up at twelve'."
He then looked up as Ari came back, handing him a starter pack and the Piplup's Pokeball. He nodded thankfully, and listened to her words of advice before grinning once more. "Alright, thank you so much for all of your help," he said, returning the Piplup to its Pokeball. "I really appreciate it. Bye."
He left the Ranger Station after that, blinking a through the foggy day. He silently wished he could have recieved a fire type; it would probably be better for seeing in this harsh fog. He took a deep breath before starting on his way the back he came, passing the sign towards the lab and then finally passing the lab until he stood at the entrance to Route 1...
out of character * Thanks to everyone for modding me. <3
