{desc=Elani gets her first Pokémon.}She'd studied the lab Pokémon. She'd studied the ranger station. She'd studied the options. She'd studied her heart. None of the Pokémon in the lab had called to her heart, so she'd decided to take her chances. Perhaps the Ranger Center would be able to find the Pokémon true to her heart.
Of course, if her foster mother was right, she'd probably get a Magikarp or something else that she favored less.
Elani sighed, gloomy, and looked around the tiny hollow she'd curled up in the night before. The thorny thicket she had hidden herself in was enough to keep humans away, and she'd never had much fear of Pokémon...even when it could easily be called 'healthy' to have a dose of fear of some certain Pokémon breeds and personalities. Pokémon had never hurt her...Elani had been hurt often by other humans. It was why she was still curled up in her thicket instead of down facing the rangers who could give her the Pokémon she would start her journey with.
She slid out of her hollow and grabbed her beat up pack. If she never went down and got her Pokémon, she would never find her father. She had to get to the elite four to find her father, she was almost certain. Elani tucked her copper hair behind one pointed ear and walked slowly towards the tent that awaited her. She took a deep breath before going inside, one hand tightened into such a compact fist that her fingers were white with the pressure.
She stood in silence in the tent, looking around slowly to see if she could see any Pokémon. What would she get? She looked around for any rangers, wary and careful. She had to face her fear, but nobody said that she had to do it with grace.

Still she was striving to be the best that she can be after all!
After much looking at the new missions put up and thinking about it, she decided she was going to go and infiltrate the Ranger Tent and snag the next new trainer for her to help get their first pokemon. She was going to make sure that having a pokemon was a privilege and that they needed to treat the pokemon with care and train it to its full ability. So with Quil following alongside her then young brunette sat off to put their plan in motion.
Using her dear Ebony they flew on off to the Ranger tent, she never once thought of going to the ranger tent before. Her first move was to go to the pokemon lab where she and Quil had met. She was definitely quite happy with meeting Quil there and wasn’t one to leave her first partner up to chance, but every trainer was different of course.
Upon decent to the Ranger tent the young brunette had called out to the rangers, saying that there was a commotion between the pokemon going down on the south side and instantly all rangers had ran off leaving Roselynn on her own in the tent, and of course just before a new trainer showed up. The young brunette smirked; her plan was going perfectly so far.
“Oh hello there! I’m Ranger Roselynn,” the young brunette said with a smile on her face, all dressed up as a ranger before she even showed up to the tent so she could disguise herself of course. “And this here is Quil, my Typhlosion and very first partner. I take it you’re here to meet your first partner?” she put on the best smile she could, there was a good chance the trainer wasn’t from around Cheyenne and even if she was, not everyone knew who all the rangers were.

Elani jumped when she heard Roselynn's voice. She spun towards the young brunette and stood silent as she listened to the girl speak, trying to work up her courage. She looked at the Typhlosion and, remembering the way she'd gotten to know some of the trainers whose stories she'd listened to as a chid, she spoke to the Typhlosion.
"You look very strong," she said softly. Her voice fit with her elfin features and the odd ears, lilting like a soft bell. "I hope I find a first partner with a bond as wonderful as the one you obviously have with your trainer." She glanced at the ranger and fidgeted a little in place. She had to get over her fear.
"Y-yes, M-m-miss," Lani forced the words out. "I'm h-here to get m-my first...that is...I'd like to m-meet my new partner, please." Lani looked up at the Typhlosion. "You're very big," she said to it. "I used to sleep with the family Growlithe sometimes. He wasn't as big, but some of the Arcanine that came through the foster home were big." Oh, now she was babbling! Would she ever stop humiliating herself?

He wondered if this young trainer could understand pokespeak? Some trainers could and others couldn’t. Roselynn was among the many that couldn’t and often enough she had Edgar come out to translate for her since he could use telepathy to communicate with her. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Edgar Roselynn would have to resort to the gestures that the pokemon made as they tried to explain what they were saying. >Why thank you,< the tall volcano pokemon said as he bowed his head lightly to the young female trainer.
Roselynn smiled; so this girl hoped to gain a strong bond like her and Quil. She looked over at Quil, they really did have a strong bond being there through thick and thin and getting three badges and ribbons together. She had gotten so far upon her journey; it really was a great feeling. “Well I do hope that you gain a strong bond with your first pokemon,” the young brunette nodded lightly. “If fact, why don’t you make a pledge here and now to that. After all, it wouldn’t be fair to your first partner if you give up on him or her, now would it?” Roselynn looked at the young girl quizzically, hoping that she would agree to the pledge, but none-the-less Roselynn set to what Rangers were supposed to do as well.
She glanced around for a moment before she found one. Grabbing up a trainer kit before she turned back to look at the girl once more. “What’s your name?” she asked curiously. She needed to know the girl’s name so that she could tell her exactly what to say, didn’t want to look like a fool when she told her how the pledge was to be made after all. Once the pledge would be made, of course Roselynn would give her the starter kit and they would be off to find her, her very first pokemon. [/style][/style][/style][/center]

Elani's eyes widened. She'd heard the Growlithe's snarling voices before, but she'd always thought it was because of whatever had given her the amnesia. It had never occured to her that she hadn't been imagining things. She bit down on her lower lip. Should she mention this to the ranger lady? She fidgeted in place, indecisive. How could she determine one way or the other if she was supposed to be able to talk to Pokémon if she never told anyone? But...it seemed like something special, and she didn't want to be told she had to stop if it wasn't something considered 'natural.'
Elani swallowed and almost jumped when Roselynn began speaking again. The poor, frazzled girl turned to the older girl and bit down on her lower lip as she spoke A pledge to gaining a strong bond with her Pokémon? But wouldn't she just know, like she had with the family Growlithe? Elani looked at Quil. He seemed...well, because he had a bond with her, of course he'd agree with the woman.
Elani turned and watched Roselyn looking around as if she were looking for something before she spotted a small kit and grabbed it. That was odd...maybe she was a very new ranger? But if that was the case, why wasn't someone here training her in her duties?
Stop it! You're being paranoid again! There's nothing out of place here! Remember the inn? She'd made quite the fool of herself by screaming when that poor man had only been trying to find out if she was ready for her meal.
When the question was addressed to her, Elani started a little and her hands curled into fists at the sides of her shorts. She looked at Quil one more time for encouragement before she answered Roselynn, once again speaking to Quil instead of directly to his trainer, "My name is Elani. Elani Copper. I guess I could take the pledge." Was it required? She fidgeted in place, unsure.

Pefect! And perhaps, if Roselynn got the chance she would follow through and check up from the girl from time to time to make sure that she was creating such a great bond between her and her starter as well as bringing it to its full potential as a Pokémon. Be it in contests or battles, sure Team Death was more about going for the gym battles, but honestly… Roselynn preferred to do both. She felt that it did take a lot of skill to participate in a contest after all.
“Alright then! Hold your right hand up like this,” Roselynn said as she held her right hand up by her face, palm side out. She then dug into the trainer kit and pulled out the girl’s pokedex. “Here we’ll have you pledge on your pokedex, sound good?” the young brunette nodded but before the girl could even reply she held out the pokedex so that the Elani could place her left hand upon the pokdex. “Now repeat after me,” Roselynn smiled lightly. “I Elani, pledge to take care of my pokemon, caring for them and promising to never leave them in the dust while I bring them to the full potential. I promise to never give up on my Pokémon as we make it through our journey together,” Roselynn said slowly, hoping that Elani would be able to follow along. Once she was done, then they could head on out to the back field to find her, her very first Pokémon.
Quil just sat there, nodding lightly as if letting the girl know that it was okay and the right thing to do. Sure, Roselynn may never had made this pledge, but then again no one had infiltrated the Pokémon lab when she aimed to get her first Pokémon and make her take a pledge. Roselynn was perhaps taking her mission a little too seriously, but Quil understood how Roselynn felt about those Pokémon that got abandoned, or that fact that they just get left in their pokeballs or in the PC’s to collect dust… It had actually happened to one of Roselynn’s Pokémon. Her young Shroomish, she had traded to a young trainer to help him evolve his feebas… but then this young trainer just upped and disappeared taking her little shroomie with him… She was to never again be able to see her little shroomish and ever since she’s been very strict on who she helps out when it comes to trading Pokémon. And seeing as the young brunette couldn’t even bother to looks at the Feebas that she ended up with from the boy she traded the feebas away for a duskull instead… Sure she liked the duskull, who was now a dusclops, but that was beside the point. Her poor shroomie will never be brought to her full potential because of a trainer that decided to give up on his journey… [/style][/style][/style][/center]

"O-okay," Lani said willingly enough, raising her right hand and holding it as Roselyn had demonstrated. She opened her mouth to answer the other girl about swearing on the pokedex, but before she could Roselyn spoke right over her.
Lani hesitated, and then placed her left hand on the pokedex. Did all new recruits have to take this pledge? It seemed...a little bit self-evident, she supposed. Of course she would never give up her Pokémon. It would be her very first partner and she would be journeying with it for the rest of her life, probably.
"I, Elani pledge to take care of my Pokémon, caring for them and promising never to leave them in the dust while I bring them to the full potential," she stammered out, hopefully without making too many mistakes. "I promise to never give up on my Pokémon as we make it through our journey together."
When she was finished, Lani glanced at Quil one more time before looking up at Roselyn and asking, "Was that okay?"

She smiled at the young female before she held up the trainer kit and placed the pokedex on top. “ That was perfect! Now I can award you your pokedex and the rest of your trainer kit,” the young brunette said with a warm smiled before handing over the trainer kit. Things were going well so far and that was definitely a good sign for the young brunette, after all… she rather did enjoy the fact that she could play ranger. It was actually fun and maybe she could use it to the advantage of making sure that new trainers wouldn’t give up on their pokemon. Or at least help out a little bit… she knew that not all of the new trainers that walked through would take up on the pledge. “ Alright then, let’s head on out to the field out back and find you your first pokemon,” Roselynn said with glee in her voice. She quickly picked up one of the pokeballs from a box, she had heard from others that the Rangers use another pokeball other than the ones in the starter kit to get the new trainer their pokemon. “ Right this way, there are many pokemon out here in this field for you to see and one of them will soon be your partner,” Roselynn smiled warmly as she headed on out. Quil nodded at the young girl lightly before he followed alongside Roselynn, staying up on two feet rather than walking on all fours. He had found that ever since he became a typhlosion it was much easier this way versus when he was a Cyndaquil or a Quilava. STARTER KIT! x 5 x 3 x1 x 1 x 1 x 1 [/style][/style][/style][/center]

Elani nodded mutely and took the trainer kit, looking through everything in it quickly before putting most of the items into her beat up pack and attaching the pokeballs to her belt. She put the backpack on and followed after Roselynn and Quil.
"How long have you been together?" She asked hesitantly, not entirely sure what she was supposed to say. She looked around at the landscape as they walked. What kind of pokemon would she find? How would they catch it? She looked around as they walked, quiet and unsure.
But so excited, too. She would've been bouncing, except that she was frightened that Roselynn would be angry with her, so she remained silent and walked steadily.

All sorts were flying about, chatots and starlys chirping along merrily as little purrloins chased the young rattatas. “Now there’s many pokemon here that you can see, pretty much every pokemon roams here, but there are some you aren’t allowed to take as they are considered endangered apparently, but you can always catch them later at a different route,” Roselynn begun to explain when she happened to notice a cute little swinub sniffing merrily at some lost teddiursa plushie before it jumped on it as if it were trying to give the teddiursa plushie a hug. “Well here, why don’t you try to capture that one,” Roselynn said as she held out the extra pokeball to Elani and then she stood back. It was up to Elani to catch the little swinub after all, it would be her partner in her journey all throughout Cheyenne.
“Just press the little button on the front of the pokeball to make it bigger and then toss it! It’s really quite simple, or at least here it is. Out on the normal routes you’ll have to actually weaken the pokemon in order to capture it,” Roselynn nodded lightly as Quil took his place beside the young brunette, he didn’t want to scare the little swinub away after all!
The little swinub continued to try and hug the little brown teddiura plushie, but in reality… it really just looked like it was trying to hump it… or something else, who knows how swinubs give hugs after all. However, the little pig pokemon hadn’t even noticed to the two girls who were now watching it.

Elani stared at the Swinub. She was hesitant for a few moments, staring at it. This would be her Pokémon? She was a fire affinity though. But...maybe the little ice-type would be a good change for her. It certainly seemed cuddly enough, like the Growlithe that she'd befriended before. She looked down at the pokeball she'd been handed and looked back over her shoulder at Roselynn. The other girl made it seem so simple.
Elani turned and looked down at the pokeball. Just push the button and toss it...I can do this. Lani pushed the button and almost jumped as the pokeball grew in her hands until she had to grip it with both hands. She looked at the Swinub and tossed the pokeball.
"Please, please please..." The whispered mantra was the only thing heard from the young girl as she waited with a held breath to see if she successfully caught her first Pokémon.

There was a loud pop noise as it hit the little swinub and with a red flash of light, the swinub disappeared inside of the pokeball leaving the little teddiursa plushie all alone on the ground. One shake… two shakes… three shakes… and then finally, a light ding singaling that the little swinub had indeed been captured! “ Well, congrats on your very first Pokémon!” Roselynn said with a warm smile as her and Quil clapped for the new trainer. Roselynn just hoped that Elani would keep to her pledge, after all there was pretty much a good chance that the young brunette would check up on the trainer, of course out of the Ranger attire. Honestly Roselynn was ready to get out of the ranger gear, they needed to get different uniforms… Roselynn wanted to be back in her skirt seeing as she wouldn’t be able to wear it for much longer, fall was settling into Cheyenne and after fall came winter… Well hopefully she’d make it through this winter as she did the last one. “ Well than, now that you have your first pokemon, of course you can name the little swinub if you want, but if you follow this path and head on out that way, you’ll find yourself at the first route. You can stick around there and raise your swinub while capturing some new companions or you can head straight to the first city that follows it. There’s lots of Pokémon there for you to capture as well and of course the gym leader and contest. But of course you’re going to want a couple more pokemon,” the young brunette winked at the young girl. “ Contests are definitely my favorite, but honestly I do both,” she giggled lightly before waving good-bye to the young girl. “ Good luck!” she said before she tossed out a pokeball and out popped a staraptor on which she hopped up on, Ebony than flew around before picking up typhlosion in her claws and they headed on off back to the Team Death Head Quarters to report on her mission and how successful it was.

"I don't think she was a ranger..." Lani whispered to the pokeball in her hands. She hesitated and looked down at the Teddiursa plushy. It looked so lonely, sitting there alone in the path, so she shifted her pokeball into one tiny hand and reached down, picking up the plushy and staring at it.
Her eyes went to the pokeball in her other hand, and then she looked at the plushy again. Then she took off her backpack and put the plushy inside. She couldn't bear to leave it behind, it just looked too lonely. She knew that it was silly...that plushies didn't have feelings...but she couldn't help but feel like this one did.
"Okay, you can come, but you don't get a pokeball," she murmured to the plushy. "I don't care how hard you beg."
She zipped her pack closed up to either side of the Teddiursa plushy's neck and put the backpack on so that the plushy was staring back along the trail she walked. Lani looked at the pokeball in her hands and hugged it close. "My first Pokémon," she whispered, looking up at the path. She hugged the ball closer to her body. "I think I'll call you Mystral, after the Northern Wind. You're an ice Pokémon, and the North Wind is the coldest of the winds."
Elani looked up and began walking.
