the trees can't grow without the sun in their eyes; and we can't live if we're too afraid to die

Link to Assignment

Hoenn had succumbed to a sudden snowfall that blanketed the region in places where it never had before. The phenomena itself was strange and filled with mystery. Remy had attempted to investigate it himself, but many of the routes and pathways were blocked by rangers and league trainers alike. If you didn't have authorization, you couldn't get through... at least, not without the risk of drawing the wrong kind of attention to yourself. As a foreigner, he'd managed to keep himself off the radar so far. And he wouldn't throw away his caution so easily.

As fate would have it, however, there was a need for experienced trainers who could help with the rescue efforts of wild Pokémon. A small herd of Pokémon from Route 113, mostly consisting of clumsy Spinda, had gathered at the top of the mountain pass on Route 111. The weather conditions had worsened and it appeared that they were at an impasse without trainer assistance. Though mostly curious about the weather up there, Remiel reasoned it would prove to be quite the challenge guiding the herd down the mountain pass on his way back as well.

So he signed up.

The festive lights decorating Fallarbor Town were far behind him now... and there seemed to be no civilization for miles. This was the farthest he'd gone.

There was a vast snow clearing preceding the mountain pass on Route 111, flanked by rocky ledges and snow-covered pines on both sides. Remiel had never been here before, and was scrawling notes and drawings in his journal as the last of the Pokémon gathered in the herd ahead of him. Unfortunately, the snow gently falling from the sky seemed to insist on soaking itself into the pages of his journal as well. He sighed and, eventually, snapped the journal shut. After putting it away in his brown leather bag, the young man threw on the furry hood of his insulated Bouffalant wool parka and rubbed the dark brown gloves on his hands together. He was ready to go.

As he looked to see whether the last of the herd had gathered, however, he saw somebody approaching. Was that actually... Reagan? He reached to balance his glasses on the bridge of his nose, before realizing he was wearing his contacts today. After trudging closer to her with his black snow boots, however, he confirmed his suspicion.

And he didn't know what to say.

After healing up her Pokemon, enjoying a warm cup of tea at the local Pokemon Center and receiving a phone call from the Ranger's Headquarters, requesting her assistance with an important mission that would involve her having to travel through the snowfall to help escort some wild Pokemon to warmer environment. According to one of the high ranked rangers, they wanted to make sure that there would be a nurse or medical assistant close by just incase any of the Pokemon become ill or injured during the treacherous journey. The mocha-haired beauty carefully tugged on her majestic, hooded cloak and headed outside.Reagan stepped outside and immediately, she felt a feather-like snowflake kiss her cheek then melt right away within a second or two. She was not a huge fan of cold weather to be honest; However, she could not deny the fact that the snowy-white ground and frosted trees were truly a beautiful sight to behold. She placed her dainty hands inside of her pockets and carefully strolled down the path leading towards her destination. While walking along the snowy path, Reagan heard the sound of children singing and playing around in the snow before the . It was definitely a winter wonderland for them. A few soft giggles escaped from Reagan's rosy-pink lips as she smiled at the cheerful children playing in the snow while passing by them as she continued down the path.

It was not too much longer before Reagan found herself approaching the vast snow clearing that would grant her entrance towards the mountain pass. Her deep azure eyes scanning over her surroundings in a careful manner to make sure that there were not any hurt or injured Pokemon or humans nearby. She did find a herd of native Pokemon moving up ahead. Luckily, none of them seem to have been suffering from any type of illness or injuries at this time. A soft and warm smile curving against her lips as she watched the herd of Pokemon travel in unison. As she kept her keen eyes on the herd, a brisk breeze would dance around her body, knocking her hood away from her head and causing her long, beautiful chocolate-hued hair and her regal cloak to whip around her body, exposing her attractive face and the tight-fitting clothes underneath her cloak. The howling wind and snow flurries caused an enchanting effective, giving her the appearance of what one would probably imagine a bewitching snow or mountain witch to look like in a fantasy novel. The soft and warm smile that had spread across her sweet lips had soon started to fade away as she locked eyes those of a familiar, dark-haired male.

"Re-Remy...Is that you?" She asked, a small quiver ringing through her voice a bit as she watched her old colleague move a little closer towards her. It had been a while since the two of them had last seen each other and to be honest, Reagan was not too sure that the two of them had ended on good terms or bad terms back thing. At least, time would let them know sure enough, right?

When she spoke, it became all the confirmation he needed to snap him out of his stupor. He'd recognize that voice anywhere. Reagan was standing before him as certainly as a Mudkip liked frolicking in the mud. Within the span of a few mere seconds, he thought about a thousand things he could say. Nothing sounded right, however, and he went with the first thing his mind deemed most appropriate. "Hello there... long time no see." He calmly stated.

Was that really the best thing he could have said? He was bollocks with social niceties, absolute bollocks. After abruptly cutting off contact with her so long ago, with no explanation whatsoever, he was acting like none of that had even happened. Then again, was now really the time or place to talk about it anyway? He cleared his throat, his hands fumbling around in the pockets of his winter coat, before turning his grey-blue eyes away from her and towards the herd. "So... I suppose we've both been tasked to escort this herd. Is this your first assignment?" Better yet, what was she even doing in Hoenn anyway? He had so many questions to ask her.

Reagan felt her heart rate starting to increase just a bit as she listened to Remy greet her. It had been a while since the two of them had last seen each other and let alone spoken to each other. The two of them had managed to become quite close to each other at the academy, but for some weird reason the two of them starting to grow apart from each other right before graduation. Reagan could no help, but to wonder if the rumors that had emerged about her family caused Remy to push away from her and move on with his life like a lone Treecko. She stared back at Remy for a few seconds before shying away and focusing her attention onto the soft snow underneath her boots. Remy was standing right in front of her, yet she felt so far away from him. "Uh, hi there...It has been a while, hasn't it?" She replied in a calmer tone this time as she glanced back up to make eye contact with him. She would have mentioned that it was a pleasure reuniting with him, but she still felt quite unsure about unexpected encounter.

"Well, it definitely seems that way, doesn't it? I was requested to travel along with this herd just incase any of them become ill or injured along the way. I suppose, that also goes with if you happen to fall ill or injured, too." She replied with a soft smile curving against the corners of her lips. "This is my first assignment. So, I am a little nervous about it, but I am confident that we should be able to face anything that comes our way as long we're working together, right?" She admitted in a softer tone. The two of them did manage to make an unstoppable and powerful team throughout their school year as lab and project partners.

"Anyways, we should probably get going now. Wouldn't want the herd to get too far ahead of us." She stated, walking passed her old friend and heading into the direction of the herd. There were still a lot of questions that she wanted answers, too. However, she figured that now probably would not be a good time to seek out those answers from him. Besides, the two of them did not need any distractions at this time or at least not until the mission becomes successfully completed by them.

When he realized he was having trouble looking back at her as she spoke, Remy took a deep breath and tried to understand why. Was he ashamed of himself? That was hardly a feeling he'd ever been familiar with. He quickly wondered why he would be, before coming up with the obvious. Mentally stuffing down the idea of all that, however, the young lad exhaled and forced himself to turn back towards Reagan. Meeting eye to eye with her again, he saw that she was smiling. But either he'd forgotten to read her smile... or something was clearly off about it.

"Right," He replied, harkening back to their history as partners at Hammerlocke University. "It's a straight shot to Lavaridge from here. Things shouldn't get too complicated." Gesturing for her to lead the way as they commenced the assignment in question, Remy stared at the back of her head as they walked, wondering what was going on in there. Quickly realizing that staring for too long could be perceived as 'weird' or 'creepy', however, he looked away and hurried to walk side-by-side with her instead. They were approaching the front of the herd now. He supposed they should go over some sort of plan.

"If we're to keep this caravan organized, we need someone at the front leading them and someone at the back prompting the stragglers along... I have a Pokémon I can trust to do the latter. Unless you have any other suggestions?" He inquired.

"That is a relief. You seem to be quite familiar with this region, so far." Reagan pointed out, glancing back at her old friend and giving him a half smile. She knew that she shouldn't have seem so surprised by his knowledge of the Hoenn Region. Remy was known for his sharp mind and desire to travel to different parts of the world, if she could recall. She soon sensed that odd feeling that something and someone had been watching her for a little bit and she figured that it must have been Remy. However, she did not make a single fuss about it. Instead, she simply pulled her hood back over her head and continued to lead the way.

She glanced over at Remy, after noticing that he had he managed to catch up with her and was now walking side by side next to her. "That sounds like a solid plan. I am fine with one your Pokemon lending a helping hand or two. I suppose our other option would have been for one of us to guard the front and the other to bring up the rear, which would not be in our best interest." She added, slowly glancing away from him and turning her attention back towards their path. Reagan viewed herself as a talented trainer. However, she knew that she was not one of the strongest trainers roaming around the region due to spending the majority of her time studying medicine and healing techniques in opposed to actually training her Pokemon.

Remy wasn't quite sure what she meant by 'wasn't in their best interest' but he imagined it had something to do with a lack of confidence in her skills. As he turned to look at her, however, she glanced away. He was bad at bringing up sensitive topics, she knew that. As much as he wanted to tell her that she had been one of the more talented trainers at Hammerlocke University, though, he had a feeling it wouldn't play out the way he intended it to. So, instead, he simply nodded. Then he reached for one of the luxury balls clipped to his belt before releasing his Pokémon. In a flash of light, a Dragapult appeared.

As the spectral dragon floated in mid-air, lifting its wide head up and swiveling it around to get a good picture of its surroundings, Remy regarded Reagan with a curious look. Did it look familiar to her? It might have. But he wasn't sure that was enough for her to realize it was a Pokémon he'd stolen from the corpse of one of their former co-students. Confident in the thought, he turned back to the dragon and commanded its attention with his voice.

"We're guiding this herd through the pass. We need you to cover the rear and protect these Pokémon, Mephisto. Do you understand?" He inquired.

There was no affirmative nod or even a noise from the Dragapult, but the look in its eyes seemed to confirm what Remiel had asked. Before the moment dragged on, it sweeped away like a breeze of ghostly wind. It would find its way towards the back of the herd to escort them. Remiel, in the meantime, would head towards the very front of the gathering with Reagan. "Care to do the honors and start us going?" He suggested, gesturing towards the herd of mostly Spinda and waiting for her to command their attention as he had his stolen dragon.

Reagan's deep azure eyes watched as Remiel retrieved a dark and lovely Luxury Ball from his belt and summoned an eerie, yet majestic ghost/dragon-type Pokemon The chocolate-haired, young maiden made eye contact with the spectral drop for a few seconds. Oddly enough, she did pick up on a familiar presence coming from the Dragapult, but she could not recall Remiel ever having such a powerful Pokemon on his team during the academy. Of course, that did not mean that he could not have captured or traded for it after graduating from the academy. "A Dragapult, huh? That is an interesting Pokemon that you have there, Remiel." She stated, breaking her glance away from the ghostly dragon then shifting her keen eyes towards the dark-haired male.

She nodded her head as she listened to Remiel just his Pokemon orders. The seem to have been some sort of agreement made between her old friend and his Pokemon despite the lack of a response coming from the Dragapult. It become more evident that the trainer and his Pokemon understood each other, once the Dragapult floated towards the back of the herd. He had requested that she lead the herd from this point on and to be honest, she felt a little nervous about having to take the lead. However, she soon soothed her nerves with a little bit of inner self-talk with herself. She did not want Remiel to sense her nervousness due to not wanting to appear as a weakling. "Very well." She replied in a calm tone. She would turn her body to face the herd before parting her lips before speaking out towards the herd. "Listen up, we're going to officially start this journey to a warmer destination. it is important that everyone sticks together. This might be a long and tedious journey, but we will do whatever we can to make sure tat everyone will make it there safely, I promise." She stated in a louder and more confident tone. She would need her small announce with a soft and warm smile before turning her attention away from the herd and taking a couple of steps forwards to start their adventure.

The group of trainers and the herd of Pokemon started on their way and the silence between Reagan and Remiel was starting to become a little uncomfortable or at least it is the way that Reagan began to feel. She cleared her throat and turned her attention towards Remy. "So, when did you decide to move to the Hoenn Region or are you just visiting?" She asked him.

The young lad watched as his old friend addressed the herd of mostly Spinda, impressed by her ability to capture the attention of so many bumbling creatures. Even more impressive was the fluidity with which she stepped forward and they followed. The march was slow and gradual, but Remiel supposed it had to be. Older and physically handicapped Pokémon in the back needed a chance to keep up... though he wondered how nature hadn't simply gotten rid of them yet. The weak didn't last long, especially in the wild. Regardless, he marched ahead.

Walking side-by-side with Reagan, there was a clear and definite silence that came across them for a moment. Remiel himself couldn't explain it or even really understand it, but he felt Reagan was a little uncomfortable for some reason. At least in his case, it wasn't because they had nothing to talk about... but because neither of them knew where or how to start. When she cleared her throat, he nearly croaked out some question about the well-being of her parents or what she'd been up to. Anything to fill the void. Thankfully, however, she had a question for him.

"I moved here a couple of months ago as part of Hammerlocke's career exchange program, actually. I'm an anthropologist for the Devon Corporation. Moving here was nothing more than a practical career decision for me... how about you, Rea?"

Despite Reagan not being the type of person that enjoys taking the lead all of the time, those critical leadership skills had been ingrained inside of her from a young age due to her being raised in a noble family and being treated as a future princess. She had been taught how to speak both eloquently and articulately, how to walk with confident and grace and even how to rule with a firm, yet gentle hand. A small smirked curved against her lips as she watched the herd of Spinda gathered together and followed behind her without any major issues and corners. She just hoped that everything would continue to work out along the way to their next destination.

Reagan smiled at Remiel's answer to her previous question. "An anthropologist for the Devon Corporation, huh? That's not too shabby." She replied, glancing over at her old friend as she felt her soft smile starting to grow a little wider against her sweet lips. "Well, my story is quite similar to yours believe or not. I am actually a nurse in Lilycove City, though I often travel both and forth between neighboring cities and towns. I just figured that Hoenn would give me that fresh new start that I've been needing for some time now." She replied, not going too far into detail.

"Anyway. I know that you mentioned that you only moved here because of a career opportunity, but have you been enjoying your time here, so far?" She asked, making small eye contact with him before turning attention back towards the path ahead of them.

He hadn't been to Lilycove yet but, from what he'd heard about it, it sounded like just the kind of place that meshed well with Reagan's sensibilities. A part of him was glad she'd found her calling. Another part of him wondered what the chances were that they'd choose the same region without (presumably) one knowing the destination of the other. Coincidences, in his experience, were rare.

Regardless, she spoke to him with the same sincerity and kind smile he remembered her for, and asked whether he'd enjoyed his time in Hoenn so far. As he noticed the trail getting thicker with snow, Remiel briefly mused on the question. He'd come here for opportunity and growth, after all. Not enjoyment. However... "Hoenn has proven to be far more interesting than I'd initially believed," He finally answered, a small gust of snow flurries blowing past them as they entered deeper into the pass. "There is history here that is saturated in mystery... so in the time I've had to study it, yes: I suppose I've enjoyed it." He looked behind them to check on Mephisto, his Dragapult. It appeared to have no issue herding, though a few Spinda did stumble onto the ground in terror from it.

Reagan continued to lead the group with poise and grace, pulling her beautiful cloak even closer towards her to body as she felt the small gust of light snow flurries dancing around them. Her deep azure eyes piercing through the snow flurries just enough to notice that waiting ahead of them appeared to have been getting even thicker with blankets of snow. A soft sigh escaped from Reagan's lips as she glanced over at Remiel then back towards the herd following behind him. Reagan knew that their journey would be a challenging one. However, she did not except for their first challenge to approach them so early on. A soft smile curved against her lips as she shifted her attention away from the herd and back onto the path ahead of them. She was still quite concern about the path awaiting them up ahead. Still, she wanted to appear as cool, calm and collected for the most part.

"A new region full of history and mysteries, huh? Yeah, it sounds like the Hoenn Region just might be perfect for you after all, Remiel." She chuckled, a teasing smirk forming against her sweet lips. "If anyone could help solve some of the mysteries of the Hoenn Region then it would definitely be you." She added before shying away and turning her attention down towards her snow boots moving through the sheets of snow.
