The dirge of screams and wails jolted Michael awake with a massive hypnic jerk. Multiple sensations drowned his thoughts in the moments his consciousness arose. The first feeling he recognized came from an uncomfortable metal mask that obstructed his vision and embraced his visage. Next, he felt the Toxic Chain that wrapped around his neck like an Arbok's coils. Then came the aching burn on the back of his skull that lingered with the mask's hold. The Cadet's surroundings became clear with the help of the dim moonlight that shone into the complex. Michael understood now that he was held in a single stone cell, its surface damp with moisture.

A raspy scream that echoed in the gaol caught Michael by more surprise. The clouds of overwhelming emotions parted enough for the Cadet to recognize the notes. Michael fought back the drake of fear and dismay just enough to push hismelf to help comfort his cellmate.

"Josh, Josh!" Michael shouted, scrambling to get to his colleague's side. His hands went to clasp firmly on the other's shoulders. "Hey, relax! It's going to be okay!"

Talking led Michael to grasp that his lips and mouth were incredibly dry. A sharp pang in his stomach revealed that he was also starving. When did he last have food or water?

Michael's mind reeled as the gravity of the situation continued to loom over him. A quick self inspection revealed he had no Pokeballs, nor equipment. His heart raced faster while his thoughts went to the safety of his Pokemon. Eimyrja, Cobalt, Jaws, Dusty...They were nowhere to be found.

The Ranger Cadet tried to calm himself down.

"Josh, listen. Let's focus on the positives. Remember our Prisoners of War training! Panicking and screaming won't help. We have to save our strength and strategize how we'll survive, and eventually, escape."

His voice remained harsh yet hushed. The guards did not need to hear the planning that would ensue.

"What matters more than ever is that we remain strong. People are counting on us. Our Pokemon are counting on us."

Though he did his best to show a brave face, deep down, he, too, remained doubtful. One could tell by the shakiness of his words as Michael battled against his inner demons.

TLDR:
-Michael awakes from the screams of the others in the prison.
-Keeping the details of his capture vague.

Taking with Josh Devlin

Michael wasn't opposed to testing his skills at poetry. Worst-case scenario, some would enjoy what he had to offer. Best-case scenario, he'd be paired with a new primate companion!



High in the treetops, the monkeys play

Some come and go, some are here to stay

Swinging and grooming, then resting all day

So come and join them, what do you say?

Petalburg Woods now lay under siege from the poisonous pestilence. Michael and his team did not hesitate to arrive and mitigate the threat from the plagued Grass-Type Pokemon that called the area home. Eimyrja's Fire-Type moves acted as a cleansing flame to rebuke the disease. Water-Type moves from Cobalt and Jaws helped to douse the fires before they could cause harm the flora and fauna.

The flittering fairy of the forest caught Michael's attention. The Ranger frowned at the sight of the Toxic Chain. Still, he found himself enamored to be in the presence of the Lord of Time and Nature.

Words escaped the Cadet. He could see that the green onion fairy was in pain and in shock. Though he recognized the Celebi was not turned like the other Pokemon by the chains that bound their wills. Hoping to aid, Michael offered some Lava Cookies to the Legendary.

"Please, take one," he pleaded. "I'll do what I can to get these to the other afflicted Pokemon."

Claiming Minun thank you!

No one ever said that the life of a Pokemon Ranger would be all sunshine and rainbows. There was, like with any occupation, a darker side with assisting Pokemon wildlife. This was true for each of the emergencies that popped up throughout the Region. But this, Michael felt, was the sickening, twisted icing on top of a poison cake.

These poor, delusional Rabsca fought vigorously against anyone who dared to threaten their young. They had no way of knowing that the Toxic Chains had corrupted their young, killing them in the process. The cruelty of their fate made Michael's stomach turn and his heart wrench from the deep sorrow he felt. Was there no other way?

Remembering the villagers of Lavaridge Town, Michael hastily searched his bag. From it, he retrieved some Lava Cookies. There was hope for these Pokemon, yet. Maybe, just maybe, if he could cure these Pokemon of the poison that corrupted them, they would realize there was no life left in the orbs they carried.

The Ranger tossed some Lava Cookies toward the nearby group of Rabsca. With luck, his plan would work. And if not? He'd have to free the insect Pokemon of their suffering.

Speak of the Devil, and they shall appear! Except, not quite, as a school of Carvanha threatened to turn the sea to crimson with their hunt. Some in the community might deem their act as cold and cruel. Who would hunt such an adorable Dewott, anyway? The Cadet, on the other hand, understood the nature of survival. He felt a pang of guilt when the Captain seemed to act on instincts based upon emotion. Pokemon in the wild had no luxury of people feeding and caring for them. These Carvanha were being cheated out of a meal that could very well mean the difference between life and death.

Michael hoped to raise a Sharpedo, but not like this. He held close to his heart a policy of recruiting willing Pokemon. He approached the edge of the beach after his superior and watched as the Carvanha school fled back to the safety of the waves.

"Hey, Captain," he started, "I get that we're supposed to help Wild Pokemon. But don't you think we ended up hurting those Carvanha by interfering with their feeding habits?"

The Cadet then noticed one of the Carvanha had returned. They looked defeated and hungry. Seeing them like this tugged on Michael's heartstrings. He pulled out a Pokeball and some Pokemon food, then knelt by the lapping waves as he called to it.

"We're sorry for taking away your chance to eat," he apologized with a gentle smile. "Tell you what, though. I'd love to recruit you to my team. I'd take care of you and make sure you're well fed. How does that sound?"
