Thick purple hair flicked over her left should, held back by it's leather binding as crimson eyes stared forwards, intense gaze firmly on the sign post before the young woman. Nova had planned on dropping by the Lab to pick up her starting partner from... Professor Winter; or what his name was, but this fork in the path had just opened a whole new opportunity.
Surely the pokémon handed out by the 'Ranger Station' would be stronger than those given out by the Professor? She'd take a chance; after all, if there was something Seraphyna prized above all else, it was strength.
Taking off at a gentle jog, she headed towards the large Tent that soon loomed before her. Impatient to get on her way, she entered, stopped and called out.
"Hello?" she said in her lilting voice. "I was heading to the Lab but this place... seems far more interesting."

A cold breeze drifted by, carrying over hints of Autumn weather as well as the crisp, fresh smell that the season was known to bring. The sun was hot, as if it was still summer, but it was as if the Earth was trapped between the two seasons. The trees started to shake out of balance with the wind, as if something else was within them. A purple blur leaped from one of the tree branches and onto the Ranger Tent's top, snickering madly at the newcomer.
Without giving the woman much of a chance to react, the purple colored monkey screamed out--<CALLABUNGA!> as it spread its arms and legs out like a flying squirrel, and landing right on the girl's face. Or at least that was the plan.

Nova glanced about, wondering where everyone was. Seems a bit... she started to think, her thought interrupted as something purple landed square on her face, smothering her and forcing her to take a step back in shock. Shaking her head from side to side in an attempt to get whatever it was off her face, she growled at it, angry that it had caught her by surprise.
Lifting a hand, aiming to flick the ... pokémon? from her face, Nova let out an annoyed string of curses.
"Ge' orf me!" she mumbled into the thing's stomach, still shaking her head.
If the thing didn't get off her soon, she would have to remove it herself. Blasted thing, catching her off guard like that!

Ranger Trainee Dominic
"Hey, Senny! Get yer butt down from there!" A kids voice chimed out as he burst out of the bushes, carrying a very long butterfly net. He vaguely saw that there was a woman underneath his monkey, but he didn't really care about that fact. Instead, he was steadying the net right above the Aipom's back, trying to scoop the critter in.
"Ooh ahh?" The Aipom chirped, turning her troublesome head around to see her 'Trainer'. With a goofy grin, she swatted the net away with her tail, making it impossible for the boy to retrieve her. Whatever he was going to do after he got his hands on her, she wasn't going to like it. Plus, a little fun never hurt anybody (though this lady might want to disagree).
"Lady, those aren't nice words for Senny! I hope you apologize to her!" He cried, watching as the Aipom was finally caught in the woman's grasp. Somehow this human was...stronger than her? Senny glared at the human, feeling helpless in her hands.

Nova stared at the monkey pokémon in her grasp for a moment before her eyes slowly drifted to the young kid who had yelled at her. "Your pokémon is called Senny?" she asked in a distant sort of tone, eyeing the pokémon again before dropping it towards the boy's shoulder.
"You should train it so it doesn't randomly attack aspiring Trainers who come here to start their journey," she glared at the pokémon, before reverting her eyes back to the ... Ranger.
If truth be told; whilst Nova was insanely irritated by the pokémon's jump attack on her, she had to admire it's rather beautiful purple coat. She liked the colour purple. Most of the strong pokémon she hoped to one day have as her partners were purple. This monkey pokémon with it's strong tail might one day be a kind of pokémon she would seek out for her team... only time would tell on that one.
"So... can you help me, kiddo?" she asked calmly, turning her crimson eyes upon the Ranger, her face expressionless.

"Hmm, I probably can. My instructor isn't back yet anyway, so he can't. So, what did you need, lady? A pokemon I bet. That's the only reason anyone comes here anymore." He was holding the squirming Aipom in his arms now, trying to keep his only pokemon under control. "My name's Dominic, I'm a ranger in training. Since my instructor isn't here, I guess I'll help you." He started flipping through a very well worn manual. "Okay, first, the rules of the ranger station. I have to help you catch the first pokemon you see. I also have to go with you to make sure you follow the rules." He flipped through a few more pages. "Your pokemon can be either rare or common, but no bitching about it, 'kay?"
The poor boy didn't seem to be very knowledgable about pokemon, or the rules since he had just spouted them off with his nose in the book. "If you'll follow me lady, Senny and I'll help you catch your pokemon." The poor Aipom had given up on escaping, and simply hung on one of the boys arms. It was going to be a long day.

Nova bit back the retort that pushed in her throat. She would damn well bitch if she wasn't pleased with the pokémon she received if she so desired! She thought better of telling this rookie Ranger that. After all, if he didn't think she was worthy of receiving a pokémon, he could prevent her from doing so; trainee or not.
She would follow him as he instructed. The boy should be honoured. It was very rare for Nova to submit so easily to another; especially a child. Damn amateur, she thought as she made to walk after him. Of course she was here for a pokémon. Perhaps, one upon a time, she would have come here for more than that. Up til six years ago, she might have even come here looking to become a Ranger, much like Dominic here.
"Alright, kiddo. I'll follow right behind. Don't worry. I'm not going to break any of the rules. Wouldn't be particularly constructive on my part considering I've come here to receive my first pokémon, now would it? She flicked her rich purple hair over her shoulder, made sure it was secure in it's binding as her blood-red eyes gave a brief scan of the area. "Let's get on with it so you can get back to taking care of... Senny, there."

Dominic led Seraphyna out into the forests. So far, it was the place he knew best. Besides, there were usually too many pokemon out in the fields to know which one he saw first. Pokemon usually hid in the forest, making things much more fun.
It took about five or so minutes to come across a pokemon. Though Dominic didn't exactly see it, he could smell it. No wonder there weren't any other pokemon around here. He indicated towards the pokemon. "That'll be your starting pokemon then."
He handed her the pokeball and indicated that she should be the one to catch it. He liked to see the trainers catch their first pokemon. Or at least he liked the way his mentor did it, so he simply copied it.

If Nova was the kind to get overly excited over things, she would have squealed in delight at the sight of purple coloured skunk that the rookie Ranger said was to be her pokémon. She was not that sort of woman, however, and so she simply stood, staring at the pokémon for a good, long moment, surveying it's beauty; getting a good whiff of it's stench in the process.
It was a majestic creature. A wonderful colour. It would be her bestest, strongest, most awesomest - wait, are those even words? - pokémon on her team. She took the offered pokéball slowly, looked from it to the pokémon before enlarging the capsule and tossing it at the skunk pokémon.
Inside she was willing the pokémon to remain in the ball. After all, it was purple. It was beautiful; sure, it stank something awful, but that just added to it's charm!
It would be hers and she would call it... Well, she wasn't sure about that yet. She'd get to know it a bit first. Haha! Her first pokémon was just perfect!
"It's wonderful!" she exclaimed to the Ranger. "Good job, kiddo."

Ranger Dominic
From the way that Nova was looking at the Stunky, Dominic was starting to question whether she knew how to operate a Pokeball. It wasn't that hard, though he had to admit that he had to read the instruction manual for it before actually being able to do it on his own. When she finally lobbed the Pokeball at the wild Stunky, he anxiously leaned forward with excitement, wondering if Senny had done enough damage to knock the critter out.
His Aimpom merely sat on his shoulders, playing with the hat on his head with no care in the world. Whatever happened with the Stunky wasn't really any business of hers anyway. Her ears perked up in alarm at a sharp 'Ping!' in the background, but calmed down once she realized that the Stunky was captured.
"Alright miss, it's all yours. Let me go get the Starter Pack for ya. Wait right there." He held up both of his hands in a 'stop' motion before bolting inside the ranger tent. He was so glad that he did his mission right for once, with Senny's help too! He retrieved the Starter Pack and handed it to Nova, although he was a bit out of breath.

Nova held the ball holding her new partner to her chest and for the first time in six years, she felt... happy. It was extremely odd to her that receiving her first official pokémon would make her feel like this. She didn't move as the Ranger disappeared to fetch what he called a 'Trainer Pack'.
When he came back, she took it silently, tucking it into her belt before looking the kid square in the eyes. "You'll make a great Ranger someday, kiddo. Don't let anything get in the way of what you want."
What on earth was she doing? Why the hell was she being so... nice. Ugh, on second thought, she felt a little sick to the stomach, but the happiness she felt at receiving Stunky prevented her from coming out with some sharp-tongued quip at the boy to rectify her niceness. With a nod to the Ranger, she clipped the pokéball to her belt.
"Thankyou. And thank you, Senny."
Before she could retort in a manner that was more normal for her, Nova bolted from the tent towards Route 1.
[ooc; Finished!]
