On the evening of May 31st, 2022 every listed Ranger's communication device from Cellular Phone to Pokédex to Xtranceiver would ping an active (!) priority notification.

Along with the ping, GPS tags to an allotted time; 04:09AM; June 1st, 2022.

This encrypted transmission contains a prerecorded message.

"Attention; this is Head Ranger Game.

All Hoenn League Rangers are to cease active duties and report to Fortree City, two hours before daybreak.

That's Zero Four-Hundred Nine hours.

The following Rangers are exempt from the mandatory nature of this summons;

Belmont, Xander. Dragomir, Josh. Lykos, Orion. Maher, Boruta. Yamamura, Izumi.


An accompanying Ice-type pokémon; also mandatory. No Excuses; No Demotions.

Game, out.
"

it's been a hot minute since ollie has been on hoenn, but it takes only a few days for him to get back in the swing of things. that being said, what he isn't quite yet used to is being jerked awake at 4 IN THE FREAKING MORNING! he stumbles blindly for his communicator, and barely makes it through the message that sent.

[break][break] head ranger or not, disrupting ollie from his beauty sleep was downright evil.

[break][break] still, work was work, and the elite ranger is more than aware of his duties. he appears at the foreign zone with two boxes of hot coffee and a beaming smile. his snover stumbles after him, carrying a box of assorted munchkins.

[break][break] "look! i brought treats."

the sound of another page flipping.

it's not like he planned for a study night to last this long but despite the burn in his eyes ashe couldn't find it in him to shut off and fall into the bed. which is fine; even thought it had long passed into the early morning of the next day he can always catch a few hours-

BZZZT!

he reads the message sent by

well shit.
-

slumped over and dead-eyed, there's a new spark of light in his life that is the box of food is holding in his hands. deprived and desperate he walks directly over, eyes never leaving the box.

"i love you."

sorbet looks up at @ashe with wide eyes, like the look of someone who has never been confessed to. which was likely true. who was silly enough to confess to a snover of all things?

[break][break] ollie is quick to break the silence with a laugh, patting the other lightly on the back. "of course! sorbet — give him one." the snover nods obediently and picks a chocolate donut on stubby paws to offer to the human. he is still staring after the kid with a wide, glimmering gaze.

[break][break] the elite ranger smiles. "my name's ollie! what's yours?"

Leaving Shoal cave and the unfortunate hunt for an Ice-type behind, Memo makes a few quick stops before he responds to his cousin’s summons (though he supposes in this context he is Head Ranger Game and not Sénon on his mother’s side). Fortree is a bit like coming home, at this point, given all the time he’s spent here in the last couple of weeks.

He’s bright-eyed on about six hours of sleep and he’s already been awake for, like, three, as Puck deposits him in a crowd of strangers, though one of them is bearing hot coffee and snacks.

“Did I miss anything yet?” he asks, recalling his Togekiss and popping some of his vertebrae in a big, twisting stretch.

The message had been clear. A priority mission of the utmost importance had been granted to her, and all other League Rangers. Elinor wasn’t about to forego the chance of proving herself to the organization, and in particular. But then she read the meeting time. And an audible groan echoed throughout her apartment for a short second. That was way too early.

Alas for all the mental complaints she did when she received the message. She still appeared on time in Fortree City on that fatefully scheduled day of June 1st Not one second later than 04:09 AM. Bright, cheery, and clearly well slept. Dressed in accordance with all Ranger regulations concerning their uniform, as well as a small waist-bag filled with the essentials supplies, such as emergency supplies, a coffee-filled thermos, and some other things. Long pink hair tied into a neat bun. She'd look like she came straight out of one of those Ranger-recruitment advertisements.

She walked towards the gathering of Rangers. Sipping upon a cup of coffee she had poured into one of those fancy non-spillage traveling cups. By her side, a massive Avalugg followed. Peering towards the other Ice-types gathered among the group. It seemed the group was already getting well acquainted, and not wanting to interrupt them too much, she merely gave them all a waving greeting and a fresh and cheery “Good morning.”

Normally, Lars would be somewhere drifting in the nether void of dreamless sleep—ever since the time he’d accepted that was gone, and no longer physically returning he’d willed himself to stop having weird imagery dancing in his mind’s eye after his head hit the sack.

…which, unfortunately, was usually around three in the damned-ass morning.

Look, he had difficulty sleeping at an earlier time.

So for the loud alarm to go off more or less an hour into his unaware unconsciousness, well…

If there was one thing that anyone should avoid, it was waking up someone who was smack-ass in the middle of REM sleep!

“Che cazzo…” he grumbled as he grabbed his PokéGear and read the notification, before rolling his eyes.

‘Clearly.’

‘I know. What in the absolute fuck.’

‘Why so early, though?’

‘I… am gonna give him a piece of my mind. Maybe in private, though, considering everyone’s headed there.’

‘Fair.’

What other choice did he have…

Some scant minutes later (thanks to the Lynette Teleport express) he would arrive next at the designated gathering point…

…the grumpiest mf’ing person present, by far.

What did draw his half-asleep brain’s attention was the presence of all the Ice-types so far; particularly his cousin ’s Avalugg companion.

“Red… y’better have a damned good reason for calling this so early in the morning,” he grumbled, hair dishelved and basically a mess. He’d practically rolled out in the… well, would recognize what the hell he’d accidentally showed up dressed in.

(Definitely not the Hoennian uniform, that’s for sure.)

The scowl was visible on his face for the briefest of seconds; and for a few moments he rambled something in Italian Alto Marean, brain still not fully online…

“Qualcuno ha l'espresso?” he rumbled a few moments afterward, running a hand sleepily through his hair and absolutely refusing to open his eyes because fuck that shit, he was tired!

(He… was definitely going to have to call in later. Head privileges and all.)

“Wait, fuck… anyone got an espresso?” he belatedly translated, just in case anyone (or everyone, really) gave him funny, weird-ass looks.

And if anyone was sharp enough to notice… he didn’t have an Ice-type accompanying him. But there was a valid explanation for that…

, you never wake up someone in the middle of REM sleep LOL | everyone else of worth mentioning already tagged up there

the appearance of even more rangers made ollie light up even more if possible. he seemed to be absolutely glowing when showed up; the two hadn't seen each other in years.

[break][break] "hey buddy! looking good and alto marean as ever," he said with a grin, running over to embrace the other in a hug (at least, if the other would let him.) he throws an arm over his former trainee partner. "nah, no expressos but we do got some good ol' cheap sawsbuck coffee! my favorite place in evergrande's still open. can you believe it?"

[break][break] with one arm still around the head ranger (who ollie, stupid as he was, did not realize was the head ranger), ollie waves at as well. "morning! my name's ollie, what about you?"

[break][break] his gaze peers over at 'red', wondering if the other was going to start the meeting anytime soon.

[break][break] sorbet shuffles around each of the newcomers, popping open the munchkin box in front of them to allow them to take a piece, if they so wished.

When she woke up this morning, she had not expected to be going on a mission with . So when he showed up, even though he looked like someone who’d barely slept and definitely didn’t want to be here, her excitement increased ten-fold.

Still, she tried to contain her excitement as best she could. As she sent Lars a cheer-up smile and a “Good morning, Lars.” The excitement caused her to completely forego any pretense of formality between her as a low-ranking ranger, and him as the Head Ranger.

Alas, she would have to disappoint Lars as he requested Expresso from the people gathered there. The coffee she brought was black and homebrewed, figuring it would last longer in her thermos if it hadn’t been mixed with a lot of stuff. She was about to offer Lars some of it anyway, but someone else was faster. A small tinge of disappointment upon her face, though she quickly hid that away, to not make it obvious.

The energetic person introduced himself as Ollie. She took note of the familiarity with which he addressed Lars, so she figured they were friends. Of course, Lars had friends outside the family, it was only natural.

“Greetings Ollie, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Elinor.” She gave a polite bow as she introduced herself. It was then that she noticed the Snover who walked around offering treats. “Thanks.” She gave the Snover a kind warm smile as she took one of the offered treats and allowed it to be on its way.

Meanwhile, the Avalugg gave off a low rumbling greeting, letting everyone near Elinor know that it was here too. Because it didn’t want to be overlooked just because it looked like some sort of iceberg decoration.

He looked over the faces of those who took the time to be here. , , @ashe , , .

Even showed up.

""I'd like to thank you all for coming." He stated it plainly enough. It seemed he kept them waiting long enough that mincing words was asking for trouble, even for him.

"Thank Morales for the snacks everyone and listen up." He crossed his arms before giving the update. "I called you all here to inform you of the retirement and regional-departure of one of our own Ranger Captains; ."

The loss of Zac and Tapu Bulu was a big one for the their lot and they didn't have the luxury of time to provide a replacement.

Proactive measures had to be taken followed by a proactive strike.

"In the coming weeks Laurs and I will be sending recommendations and outright promotions to Rangers in varying ranks upto and including Captain."

They would need new blood to properly bolster the Captains' ranks. Recruiting was specialty but until his return to Hoenn they would have to make due.

"Furthermore I wanted to take this time to recognize the new Ranger-Liason Officer. I couldn't order him to be here this early but you'll see him at the ranger gatherings from time to time. Give him your warm welcomes." It was a made up title and a made up position, that he'd just made up, just now, officially at least.

In actuality, Paxton in their work together had proven professional and straight-forward and the Rangers would always need someone on the other side of the League coin to understand them.
