Usually, Cave Dwelling Pokémon didn’t migrate often. At least as far as she knew. While she was no encyclopedia, she was almost certain of this fact. However, what if the disasters in Hoenn changed that? Well, it was a valid question, one that warranted a bit of investigation. Nothing huge and official of course, but merely a side adventure for an off day.

Dressed and Equipped appropriately for the temperatures of the Shoal Cave, did she appear at the entrance with the help of her Elgyem. While she had expected to be waiting for the she didn’t get to wait for long as the girl appeared.

Altagracia had to control her surprise by the sudden appearance of the girl on the Yanmega. A truly unconventional choice of mount, though more so because of its physical qualities than its behavioral tendencies as far as she knew.

Anyhow, Altagracia gave her guide a small wave. Knowing the girl had more experience in traveling this particular area. She would be performing a more secondary role. And so she spoke naught a word as she watched the girl summon and interact with the Pyroar. Altagracia assumed she would lead the way when everything was said and done.

Shizue’s deductions seemed fairly spot on. While Altagracia had reached the same conclusion, having someone there to confirm them was appreciated. “I think you are on the right track with that idea.” She stated, her eyes never once moving from the two Absol engaging in song. However, that posed another query. How would they deal with this? Simply jumping in there and halting it would certainly lead to no good outcome.

But perhaps they did not have to intervene but merely observe and help post dispute? That was certainly an option. But alas Altagracia wasn’t a fan of the do-nothing approach, she needed, not craved big sweeping motions when she had already decided to help. “Hmmm. I have a feeling no good will come from halting this match, so perhaps providing aftercare for them is the move?” Altagracia thought out loud, not even realizing that she was voicing her thoughts while she tried to deduce their next move.

For all their time spent just getting there, the song contest was slowly reaching its finale. The old grey-haired Absol’s legs beginning to buckle, drained of vitality by the onslaught of the younger opponent. Still, it would not go down without a fight, even if it had to go way past what was reasonable for it.

Altagracia nodded acknowledging her response and the introduction of the Gible. The girl quickly placed the Pokémon down on the ground allowing it to run towards the Tyrantrum and Vibrava with the clear intention of playing with them.

Altagracia gestured for the available seat by her side, an offer the girl quickly accepted. She then began to explain the situation as they both watched the Pokémon play. The Tyrantrum was enjoying letting the Gible try to bite the tail, but failing as it raised the tail just in time to save it from the jaws of the land shark.

“Yes, what you are telling me is all very typical for Gible’s and their evolutionary forms,” Altagracia admitted. Fearing that the girl would be disappointed to hear this. “Gible, like many other Pokémon, is a predator Pokémon. In the wild, they live each day hunting for prey. Their body adapted, specialized even to such a lifestyle.” Altagracia began in the small lecture.

“These adaptations include, but aren’t limited to sudden bursts of energy, a need for constant stimulation, and in Gibles’ case teeth that grow continually.” She listed all these traits as she sent an overbearing smile at the girl. “In the wild, they would use their energy and get their stimulation through hunting and problem solving, and they would keep their teeth down by its constant usage.”

Her gaze moved from the girl to the Pokémon. “Gible are difficult Pokémon to keep. And the issues you describe often stem from a lack of caring for one or more of these things. So describe to me what an average day between you and Gible is like?” The Speech finally winded down, allowing Allison to speak.

The two Absol ate the offerings, leaving one behind for their brethren. It stared at Shizue for a moment longer but decided to accept the offering. Altagracia slowly got up again from her position. The eyes of the Absol were quick to be upon her, before they looked between each other, seemingly having a small debate. The two trusting Absol nodded. The third one reluctantly followed.

Altagracia slowly took a step forward, and then another. The Absol did nothing. She gestured for Shizue to follow. Their offering had been accepted. “Well, so far so good.” Everything had gone surprisingly smoothly for now. She glanced back at Shizue, to see if everything was alright.

And as they would walk closer to the clearing. The song continued. The howls which created it set a tone of despair, ushering in calamity with their PERISH SONG. The Blood red and black sound waves that flew back and forth between the two howling Absol grew more visible the closer they got.

Altagracia halted just short of entering the clearing. She gazed out onto the scene. The two singing Absol were the only ones still standing. Though she couldn’t quite see whether the others were conscious or not. As far as she knew Contests of PERISH SONG prowess, weren’t exactly common among Absol. Turning to her only other option for information right now. She asked. “What do you make of this?” she gestured towards the sight. From the greying fur on one of them, she deduced it was much older than the other. Was this perhaps a strange way of fighting for territory?

Altagracia was not pleased with the lack of information. Still, that was no fault of Xander’s. Still, it pleased her to know that Xander had the forethought to start planning. It was a nice trait to see in a partner when you were out in the field. “That sounds like an appropriate plan.”

And with that, they entered the forest. Like Xander, she summoned a Pokémon companion. This one is a Vibrava. It began to walk by her side. Not keen on flying within the confined spaces of the trees.

It didn’t take long before Xander broke the silence of the forest with a question. She gave him a nod in response. “I would claim that I am yes. I focus primarily on the habitats of Pokémon and how they affect their behavior.” She spoke, though she tried to keep her speech clear, her accent was still bleeding through from time to time. Anyhow, research was one of the many reasons why she picked this task. If there was something in the environment causing this, she had to document it.

It didn’t take long before a girl came timidly towards her. Altagracia gave the girl a once over. Pink hair, rather young looking, a Gible in tow. She seemed to fit the description. “Yeah, that would be me.” She nodded agreeing. “And I presume you are Allison, correct?” The name had been mentioned in their correspondence.

“I hear you have some problems with a Pokémon. Can you start by explaining exactly what the issue is?” Problems were a very wide term, and they came in as many shapes, sizes, and temperaments as there were humans in this world. Still, Altagracia was quite confident that she could help with this one.

The two Pokémon which had been playing decided to halt their little mock battle, and instead turned their attention to the girl who had arrived. Though seeing their trainer already engaged in conversation, they did not budge in, instead, they would wait patiently.

“Yeah, heading back might be wise.” Altagracia acknowledged. Though just as she did. A remoraid decided to come in and take their attention away for a brief moment. She returned to simply gazing upon Amelia and how she interacted with the Pokémon. It seemed she was a natural when it came to it.

Meanwhile, after a short respite, Elgyem was ready for another battle. And the foe made itself apparent. The triple-magnets floated towards it. Attracted by the commotion, and whatever batteries Altagracia might’ve carried in her bag which laid upon the ground.

Elgyem used CALM MIND upon itself. Preparing for the battle. Magneton was the first to fire off an attack, the MIRROR SHOT fired towards Elgyem, but was met with a calm mind boosted Psybeam, which diverged both blasts from their intended target.

Elgyem wasn’t about to let it fire off another one of those shots, and so used TELEPORT to go behind it. The Elgyem’s head began to glow with psychic energies before it slammed into the Magneton sending it to the ground. Elgyem quickly followed up with a blast of PSYCHIC power, knocking the Magneton out for a short while.

Elgyem retrieved another Pokéball and send it to the Magneton, the capture process beginning once again, hopefully adding it to its little collection.

Meanwhile, the Remoraid situation was handled with ease. And with it, Altagracia figured she would take her leave. “It was a pleasure to meet you Amelia, and I hope to see you around. But I must be going now.” But before she left she retrieved a little business card from her pocket. “If you ever need my help, be it with some research or anything really. Do give me a call.” She gave Amelia the little card containing all of her official contact information, both e-mail and phone number. And with that out of the way, she took her leave, returning to the Elgyem floating atop its little mountain of Pokéballs.

“Wha?… You know what, I am not going to question that. Thanks for keeping an eye out for my stuff.” She smiled at the Elgyem, which seemed to blush if its specie were capable of such humane feats. And with that, she gathered all of her things, the Pokéballs and everything else before taking her leave.

It was not often that her work didn’t send her out in the field. Though traveling Hoenn thin, researching the effects of doomsday events was fun and all, she had to remember that her job had a secondary goal. The education of the masses.

And that’s why she had made her way to Slateport, the Slateport City Park, to be precise. An older gentleman had contacted hoping that she might be able to help tutor his grandchild, as she had acquired some problematic Pokémon. It was a common story and Altagracia had accepted for a small fee of course. The fee would go to fund her continued research.

And that’s why she now sat upon a bench. Dressed in a casual outfit, of a neat plain orange tank-top, some orange shorts and black sandals, and of course her lab coat because no self-respecting professor would be seen among civies without it.

While she waited for this Grandchild to appear. Her Tyrantrum and Vibrava were playing or maybe doing a mock battle. It certainly seemed like the latter. Though it was clear that neither was intent on harming the other. Still, it was rough enough that the other people in the park kept their distance.

Violence was an option. One she hesitated to employ, though she could maybe force her way through three Absol. Given the strength of her Tyrantrum. But she figured it wouldn’t give the best example to the pack of Absol up ahead. And if they wanted to help, these poor creatures, then they needed to earn their trust.

“That’s a good idea.” She stated, then slowly bent down on one knee and took off her backpack. She made sure her movements were clear and non-threatening to the Absol. She opened the backpack, and after a bit of rummaging found some Poké Poffins carefully packaged to protect against weather.

Slowly she unpacked them and made a small display of offering them to the Absol as a gift of sorts by placing them on the ground in front of them. The biggest Absol seemed skeptical, but the others were inclined to accept the offer. The Skeptical Absol looked towards Shizue expectantly though whether it expected betrayal or food was uncertain.

It seemed the young Ranger was more than willing to help in her future endeavors. A thankful smile spread over her lips as the offer was made. She gave Amelia a nod and said. “Rest assured, I will not hesitate with calling for your help.”

But before anything else could be said, something burst forth from the waters, drenching Amelia and herself in the cold waters. A low squeal escaped her as the cold waters hit her body. She took a deep breath, letting her body adjust to the cold. It wouldn’t be the first time a wild Pokémon had drenched her. Though it seemed Amelia had adjusted quicker than her and engaged the newly arrived Lanturn.

Again Altagracia decided to take a passive role. It didn’t seem like Amelia needed her help, so she could engage in what she enjoyed the most. Research or in this case watch how this young Ranger handled the situation.

Meanwhile, the Elgyem found some respite in his fight. He saw an Arrokuda in the distance, but it didn’t seem inclined to fight. Maybe it didn’t have any long-ranged attacks or maybe an assortment of various human objects didn’t interest it. Either way, it swam away. Allowing Elgyem some time to RECOVER from the battles.

Altagracia gave the woman an acknowledging nod. It seemed she hadn’t been alone in noticing their watchers. Though she it peculiar that what she assumed was Absol, watched them but didn’t take engage in contact. Absol was known for doing just that. So maybe they didn’t want them to interfere in a territorial dispute?

The ideas were many, but the answers were few. And they didn’t grow any more knowledgeable as they went further and further into the jungle towards the sound.

After having walked for a while, the jungle began to thin, making a place for a clearing of some size. Two Absol stood opposing each other, though they were both lost in their song of Despair. From here it was clear that around the two singing Absol, laid a group of Absol of various ages. Though before they got closer and were able to get a clearer look, the three Absol who had been following blocked their path. Though it was clear they were little more than pups themselves, they stood opposing the two trainers. The largest of them growled.

Altagracia’s steps came to a halt. Not wanting to provoke them. “Seems like they don’t want us to come closer.” She spoke quietly to Shizue. “I am all ears if you have a suggestion that might convince them to let us pass.”

Whether the Absol understood what Altagracia said or not, she didn’t know. Yet the biggest one still growled. The others, however, stood solemnly, with saddened expressions on their faces, clearly less enthused about their task for one reason or another.

They had common ground, of this, she had already realized when Amelia’s profession had been revealed. “I am sure we can, the future does seem to hold more than enough work for both of us” Altagracia replied with a smile. Not noticing that the Eevee companion trotted away from their little ensemble.

Amelia had just asked the Eevee a question when they both realized it was gone. Altagracia shook her head when asked if she knew where it was. She couldn’t claim to have seen it even walking off. She began to help the girl search, eyes looking down towards the water, then up in the skies. Alas, the Rotom in Amelia’s gear found it quicker than either of them.

She looked up, then saw the bluebird, and immediately knew what had happened. Amelia realized it soon after. Luckily it was rather easy to call the Cramorant to them. Maybe it was hungry, maybe it realized Eevee didn’t taste good, whatever the reason may be, soon it stood before them and gave the Eevee back to them.

Altagracia had been so enveloped in the happenings of the girl and the Eevee that she still hadn’t noticed the growing list of captures over at Elgyem.

And now was no exception. The Manectric-ball now laid nuzzled against the Mantyke-ball. Elgyem hovering above them ready for the next thing to pop up. And it didn’t have to wait long. The clopping of four hooves against the ground announced the appearance of a Blitzle.

With a sigh, it raised its fists. The Blitzle seemed ready for a fight. And Elgyem didn’t mind providing it. It could do this all day. In an attempt to conserve some energy, it punched into the air, sending small PSYBEAMs at the Blitzle. The four-legged Pokémon tried to dodge at first, but some of them graced its fur. Annoyed the Blitzle sent SPARK’s towards the Elgyem. Elgyem tried to dodge, but the Blitzle took the opportunity to PURSUIT him.

The Elgyem hit the ground, Blitzle atop it. But not for long, it vanished into thin air only to reappear behind the Blitzle. Malice in its eyes. It sends the Blitzle a short telepathic message. “Nothing Personal, it is.” And then the full force of all of Elgyem’s PSYCHIC might crashed down upon the four-legged horse Pokémon. The Blitzle was knocked out. And yet another Pokéball was thrown. Maybe adding a third to the soon-to-be a mountain of Pokéballs.

Altagracia listened to the words of the woman. Nodding when it was appropriate. It made sense that this was not standard Ranger equipment, since she hadn’t seen it before. Still, it seemed like they ought to reconsider that notion given how useful it seemed.

“I can only imagine the bureaucracy that you had to wade through with the Rangers.” If it was anything like trying to acquire financial aid for research purposes, then Amelia had already done more than her fair share, and could therefore take pride in her accomplishment.

She allowed the trainer and her Pokémon to celebrate their victory. While they did that, she gazed upon the Eevee, it seemed well taken care of. Though their celebration didn’t seem to last long. Amelia seemed to remember a question she had wanted to ask. Altagracia chuckled ever so slightly.

“Oh, I am here to research how the near-constant turmoil in the region is affecting the habitats and behavior of the local Pokémon,” Altagracia admitted.

Meanwhile, while the two women were having a chat. Elgyem confirmed the capture of the Mantyke, only to find a Manectric trying to sneak up on the backpack. Thinking there was something edible in it. Elgyem raised a hand towards it in threat, warning the electric Pokémon.

But the yellow and blue lightning canine did not heed the warnings. And so charged forward. It sent a shock wave towards the Elgyem, though the Elgyem easily dodged the electricity. Before allowing its psychic energies to wrap around the Manectric, applying mental pressure upon it.

It didn’t take long for the Manectric to give in. Weak from hunger and desperation, it wasn’t too keen on a fight. With a yelp, it announced its defeat. Thinking the Elgyem would let it scamper off. But the Elgyem had other plans. Retrieving yet another empty Pokéball, it used its mental powers to nudge the empty ball against the blue fur, and activate the capture process once more. Maybe making this its second confirmed capture.

Altagracia listened respectfully as the woman explained her reasons for being out and about on this route. They weren’t overly complicated. “Oh, I am here for research purposes.” She spoke casually. Though she didn’t divulge the nature of said research.

It was around this time that she noticed the disappearance of Elgyem once more. Turning her attention to finding it, she noticed it doing its own thing over at her equipment. However, from what she could see everything was under control, so there was no reason to rush over there.

This comfort allowed her to return her attention to the woman who seemed preoccupied with the sudden appearance of a Palpitoad. And just as she did, the high-pitched screech of a Hyper Voice resounded throughout the area. She quickly put her hands to cover her ears, but by then it was mostly over.

She breathed a sigh of relief once the pain subsided. Before, observing how the Ranger would deal with the aggressive Pokémon. Her interest was piqued by the interesting contraption this woman used to launch her Pokéball. What followed after was a pretty standard battle, nothing too fancy there, or at least nothing that interested her as a researcher.

Once the battle was over, and the capture process of the Pokémon had begun, she felt inclined to partake in conversation once more. She nodded as the woman made a statement about the danger of such frivolous use of Hyper Voice. “Oh do not worry, I will not judge your choice of actions, they are after all understandable given how aggressive that Palpitoad seemed. By the way. That is some fancy equipment you are using. Did you make it yourself, or is that something new the Rangers are using?” Her voice became lazed with excitement the more she began to focus on the equipment itself, even if she wasn’t particularly mechanically inclined.
