[attr="class","star2"]“Mister Rourke! I’ve already told you three other times this month, companion Pokémon are supposed to stay in their balls during class!”[break][break]

Wren winded at the teacher’s reprimand, while Juno scrambled back to hide under his desk. “I’m sorry, ma’am! Juno just…doesn’t like to stay in her ball, that’s all..” It would have been fine if Juno hadn’t snuck out of his backpack as curiosity consumed her and she chose to mess with the model skeleton in the corner of the lab.[break][break]

“Learn to contain her better! Or leave her at home. Third period detention, and put her back into her pokeball, then put it in your locker!”[break][break]

Any counters from Wren were immediately hushed, and he grabbed his back with an audible noise of dismay as he left the lab to a chorus of snickers, Juno hot on his heels. It wasn’t his fault she was a little unruly! She was young, and he’d only just received her for his birthday from his older sibling. Plus, how was he supposed to say no to her sad brown eyes?[break][break]

“You’ve really done it now, Juno. Now we can’t even be sneaky.” He stooped to scratch her head. She didn’t care a bit about the chiding, and nipped at his shirt cuff playfully instead. “No..it’s not playti-“ A familiar voice cut through the quiet of the hall and silenced his words. Wren quickly perked…only for his face to fall in distress.[break][break]

At first, Wren ignored the initial question— his response reserved to the startled sound that erupted from the back of his throat at the state of Levy’s poor little face. Bag tossed down, he beelined for his friend with large, pleading eyes.[break][break]

“Levy, your cheek! What happened?” Bottom lip poking out in a pitiful little pout, he immediately reached up to squish his face, careful of the swollen spot as he examined it. Short as he was, Wren had to lean up on his toes to do so.[break][break]

“Was it Todd again? I’m gonna say something to him this time, really.” That little group of their peers never took Wren seriously, small and doe-eyed as he was. Too perky to be considered a viable threat. “Yeah, if you wanna. I kinda…got detention next period.”[break][break]

Something captures his vaporeon’s attention, and before Wren can hail him back, he’s sticking his snout into a deep puddle under a large overhang. A bruxish snaps out with its sharp teeth, warning the vaporeon for having drawn too close in his nosiness. Jupiter retaliates a bright ray of AURORA BEAM, though the prismatic hues are still paler than the fish’s bright scales.[break][break]

Before it can retaliate, Wren snares it with a pokeball. “That’ll teach you to not stick your nose where you shouldn’t,” he says lightly as Jupiter scampers back with wounded pride.[break][break]

Then a voice rings out from behind him, and Wren can’t help the way he jumps a bit, shoulders hiking up to his ears. Too focused on catching the bruxish and chiding his instigative pokemon, he didn’t hear the echoing footsteps of the other individual.[break][break]

But? For some reason the voice sinks in as somewhat familiar, though he’s never heard it in person before.[break][break]

Curious, Wren turns. “Hunting for anything, rea– oh!” His eyes widen, enthusiasm and familiarity brightening his features. “I follow your socials!” With the sort of zeal befitting a botany student interested in environmental things. And also cutie patootie pokemon. “I really enjoy your page.”[break][break]

Dial it back, nerd.[break][break]

He found himself obvious to the outcome of what was going on between Basil and his opponent’s pokemon–too caught up in the fact that he was very much about to be shot. The gogoat fell to the slash of PSYCHIC energy– naturally so, given his low health.

Wren frowned at the response, obviously confused when the gun was put away. Though also practically dizzy with the relief the action brought. Not that it lasted long.

“Why–?” His question was silenced as a boot came down hard on his ankle and bowed it inward. Wren howled when it finally snapped under the pressure, stomach rolling as a dry heave followed and he crumpled all over again. Vision blurring and dotting as he tried to blink through the third injury to be inflicted on him in such a short span of time.

He grit his teeth, a lingering whine slipping through them regardless as he tried to move his maimed foot. The man’s words lingered as he left with the gallade at his side.

Frantically, Wren palmed at the pokeball that housed Juno, and she tumbled out–clearly still angry at having been contained. Then he collected his psyduck and gogoat back into their own balls, respectively, to keep them from further harm.

Trembling hands slid over teal, otter-slick fur as Jupiter returned to his side, closing Wren in his own AQUA RING, though it could only take care of his more superficial injuries.



tldr; we’re taking the L — wren is hurty, recalls his fainted pokemon, releases angry juno again.

The gogoat wheeled around, face to face with the split gallade. Not about to be deterred despite his burn injuries, Basil charged forward again, that time ripping up earth around him– churning up the hardened ground as he used ROLLOUT. Directed at one of the multiples, but trying to uproot the illusions at the same time.

Wren himself felt sluggish by that point, vision a bit bleary as he lifted his chin upward to look up at the man with all the effect of a deerling frozen in the headlights of a car. His legs protested, but it seemed better to not argue against the command. And begging might only incense him. No matter how much Wren wanted to say please, please just leave me be.

Juno resumed struggling, so he snagged her empty ball and recalled her, though it shook in his fist. Once again, Wren was struck by his frustration with all of the conflict. He wasn’t going to be a part in it anymore today. And from the coldness of the other’s stare, he wasn’t sure how much more he’d be able to do period.

So he’d play by his own terms, just one more time. Whether it was frowned upon or not. “Um..” That time he managed to call out the desired vaporeon. “Aqua Ring,” he murmured, voice wobbly. But when he pointed, it wasn’t toward himself or his gogoat.

Instead, the veil of healing water that rippled from Jupiter haloed around Felix instead. Wren wasn’t even sure now if he was as injured as he’d initially assumed when he stumbled on the other with his hatterene, but that didn’t matter just then.

Let the record show that Wren didn’t take, he gave. His job was to serve. So let him go down knowing it was compassionately so.



tldr; forces juno into her pokeball as gogoat uses ROLLOUT on the gallade copies. Rather than act out of fear and spite, wren chooses the empathy route and summons his vaporeon to further heal felix with AQUA RING

Relief pulsed through him, numbing the pain in his shoulder as the jet of water pushed the stranger back, though not for long as dark slashes from the gallade cut through it, and then cut his Psyduck down with little effort. Like slicing through butter. Wren himself wasn’t a fighter, so as Felix darted back in, he was easily overwhelmed in the effort to pull back from the knock against his head. Falling backward detracted from the impact, but not by much.

As he fell, Juno tumbled loose from the bag on his back. The eevee, disliking the situation, sprang forward with rumbling growls. Or tried to—despite the dizzying ache in his head, Wren reached out toward his partner Pokémon and snatched her back toward his chest before she could try to pick on someone far surpassing her.

“Don’t.” Whether that was a command to his eevee wrestling against the hold of his arms, or a plea that the man leave him be, even Wren himself was unsure. Something felt warm against the side of his head. Wet pressure, though not severely so.

His fingers shook as he managed to snag one more ball from the belt at his hip. He’d hoped for his vaporeon, but he was too disoriented to really tell, and his already weakened gogoat sprung free instead, automatically charging forward, head tipped down, attempting to gore with HORN LEECH. Slower than he’d normally be.



tldr;
running total (70) + ic post (10) + psyduck ko’d (50) = 130 mp total wren falls, trying to get away from being hit, while Winston is immediately knocked out by the much stronger gallade. Juno tries to take over but wren prevents her, mistakenly sends out his previously injured gogoat who tries to level out a HORN LEECH

Since his move out to Evergrande for training, Wren had taken to exploring the island in his down time. Whenever able, really. Even the places down deep below the calm ocean's surface. Which was why he found himself out at the Seafloor Cavern, wandering the damp caves with his politoed and vaporeon alongside him. Though Grover stuck beside him, Jupiter was having a great time of it - fishing shellder out hidden corners and toying with them with a feline sort of fascination.[break][break]

Eventually, he'd call the vaporeon back and they'd move along. It was quiet, the sound of dripping water echoing through the hollow caves. If there were any others way down here, he'd yet to find them.

He's about to ask again if the man is alright. But the impassive look that settles on his expression silences Wren. His eyes widen when a gun is produced. It all happens so fast - despite the shape the stranger seems to be in, he moves with an alarming quickness. There's no hesitation, no question. "Wh-" Wren bites his own words off as he tries to duck out of the aiming, twisting to the side.

The clap of a shot, and ringing in his ears. The searing flare of pain in his shoulder, and then the douse of water spray at close range. The wariness of his psyduck was not for nothing. Though the shot still finds purchase, embedding in Wren's shoulder, a torrent of HYDRO PUMP is directed at Felix from close range in the effort to re-direct his shot and push him back and away again. Small or not, Winston hovers in front of his trainer, though pays more attention to the man rather than his gallade.



tldr; a GUN!! wtf!!! guess he's not gonna be helping T-T tries to dive, psyduck directs a blast of HYDRO PUMP at felix; trying to cause a misfire, but the shot still hits his shoulder?

Wren is definitely ready for today! Trailing along after his captain, it'd been a given that he'd volunteer his help - listening attentively to those leading the mission, and whooping in encouragement after had addressed the group. After everyone had dispersed to board the ship, he snagged an orange band and moved to do the same.[break][break]

A frantic wave caught his attention, and Wren turned--wide beam spreading across his face at the sight of . Just as quickly, both of his own hands lifted into the air to wave in return. "Hey! You made it!" He'd probably poked the other rookie about this excursion at least fifteen times...and then a few more. Even when he'd agreed that he'd try to make it there. He couldn't help his enthusiasm though, okay? Wren was just excited at the potential of having others he actually knew decently well present. "Yeah, guess it kind of is. Fall's on its way, sooner or later."[break][break]

It could definitely be chillier, in his own opinion.[break][break]

"Well yeah! Aren't you?" he shot back with a laugh. Obviously they both shared that sort of excitable puppy-like enthusiasm and energy. This was a good opportunity. Even if they were primarily assisting in defense, who knew what they'd find out there. Admittedly, he didn't have much of an idea of what to expect, either. At least, beyond what Ollie had instructed him in, and what they'd just been told, of course. He could work in the water just fine, though. As was his preference. "Have you had much more diving experience since we helped those corsola?" Wren asked. At least Slateport was along the beach, so the potential was there.[break][break]

 He followed the direction of Kieran's attention, then nodded vigorously. "Yep! That's Ollie." His own hand lifted to wave at him as well, then his hand twisted to make a thumbs up at his captain. As if he'd not shown how hype he was already.[break][break]


tldr; lil dude is HYPE!! cheers on his captain , and waves at him later, though doesn't try to interrupt his conversations atm. joins up with , and snags a band for team 2!

After his fight with the man in the nondescript owl mask, Wren isn’t necessarily in bad standing. In fact, he could’ve easily gained the upper hand when he’d backed off. But though he lacks any injury, and a nearly full set of Pokémon in good health, he’s left with something unsettled rolling through him. An uncomfortable twist in his gut that won’t subside. A sinking feeling that he knew the stranger () far better than he wanted to believe or admit.

And though he knows he should be dashing back out there—he hides in the thicket, and edging along the sides of buildings.Telling himself he’s waiting for the right opportunity, though the truth is more that he simply hates the conflict.

It finds him anyway.

But the man he comes across does not look to be in decent shape. In fact, the timid, concerned words volley up out of him before he can stop himself. Assess the fact that they are not playing for the same team. “Are you okay?” Beside him, Winston titters nervously, clearly less benevolent.



tldr; he’s just a little guy!!! offers help before realizing because he’s wholesome like that ;n; has his psyduck out

The use of HYDRO PUMP did the trick, and when the blast of water subsided, it revealed a collapsed centiskorch, successfully extinguished. Not that the advantage made him feel any better about the whole thing. In all honesty, he didn’t really think that his plea would come to anything. For all he knew, the rocket would just continue to push forward until they ran out of pokemon.

He didn’t miss the wobble in the stranger’s voice. It struck through Wren like a bolt, and immediately something terrible shuddered through him. Juno whined at his side, nudging against his leg as Winston tottered back over to his trainer. A pitiful look settled on his face, eyes wide and frantic as he frowned. “No, wait, d–” he babbled out, but it made no difference.

The masked man bolted before Wren could finish gettin the words out. “Don’t go.” he continued regardless, shoulders falling as he stared at the spot the…stranger had been. Reaching down, he scooped Juno up to deposit her back into his knapsack, and pat the confused psyduck on his head. The whole thing felt wrong and weird and unsettled.

Shaking his head, he turned away, signaling for Winston to follow him. Standing there dawdling wouldn’t come to any good, but there was no way that the bad taste lingering in his mouth would diminish.



tldr; the match ends in a mutual draw! wren is upsetti T-T the end

Again and again, he had to remind himself that conflict was a part of the job. But he hated it. The fact that he was fighting someone right now– someone that uncannily reminded him of someone who was undoubtedly the most important person in his life, sat heavy and uncomfortably like a stone in his stomach. Stella was injured, and Wren had injured this masked stranger’s pokemon too.

He hated this, he hated it. So the frustration that was written across his face was likely misinterpreted. He wasn’t mad at his opponent. He was frustrated with himself–because what was he doing? What was the point in this? He’d signed on to be a ranger in order to help people. Help the environment and the creatures that inhabited it. All this conflict didn’t feel as if it was helping anyone.

Wren winched at the shrieking that volleyed out of the perrserker. Even as he praised his own gogoat for the solid hit. It wasn’t a success that last for long, though, and maybe he deserved that.

Basil let out a bellow of pain as the inferno whipped up around him and crackled through brittle fur. Wheeling around, he thundered back toward Wren with flame caught up around his leafy ruff. Gritting his teeth, he recalled the gogoat. Snagging one of the first pokeballs to touch his fingertips, out came his psyduck. Tumbling free clumsily, but once Winston was up on his feet, he toddled into action with speed that probably looked abnormal on the portly duck.

All that was needed was one look at the fire-type to know what to do– with an exaggerated inhale, his psyduck opened his bill wide and blasted at the centiskorch with HYDRO PUMP. The torrent of water backed with enough force to hopefully both douse the firebug, and knock it back out of the way. "No more!" he yelled at the masked man before he could think better of it. But whether that would result in defeat or something else remained to be seen. All Wren knew was that the surreal feeling that amplified this fight was making him feel sick to his stomach.


tldr; basil is hit by the INFERNO and quickly recalled by wren. sends out his psyduck who blasts the centiskorch with HYDRO PUMP. Wren calls for a ceasefire between them on a account of emotional tummy ache. ;n;

Oh yes, this was going much better than before. He had liked Braver–his energy and friendliness had worked wonders in soothing some of his nerves at the time. But Wren was also just a small individual. His short stature seemed better suited to the sylveon, who was nimble and less bulky than the arcanine. Her pacing suited him well, too. It was almost as if Pinky had sensed that green edge to his experience and catered to it, while keeping up with the rest just fine. He glanced back over his shoulder, checking on Juno who was doing just fine. As they ran, Wren turned his attention back to Josh, who spoke up over the windy noise produced by momentum. “Oh, that would have been cool! I specialize in water-types so I’ve always loved vaporeon!” Little did he know he’d find himself in possession of one shortly after, but that was for future Wren to discover.[break][break]

“Vaporeon definitely seem useful for the work I do!” He’d started to do a lot of his training around bodies of water, in fact. Helpful that Evergrande was out in the islands area, after all.[break][break]

“Good idea!” he agreed with a laugh, though he wasn’t nearly as adept at multitasking while riding as Josh likely was by that point. Every so often, he tried to shift his gaze to the others to note their strides and stamina. It was all still kind of a blur to him, though. “Yeah, don’t plan on that if I can help it!” he called back with another laugh, not truly fussed by the teasing. “Though, gotta say I’d hoped it slipped your mind.” His nose wrinkled up as he grinned.

“Heal up while you can!” Wren called out to Stella, who staggered in the wake of the shedinja’s collapse. A silvery glimmer lit up around her form, the pale MOONLIGHT absorbing into her fur. It’s enough to keep her up on her feel, some of the wounds from the previous METAL CLAW stitching back together loosely.

It was still daylight out, though, and the moon’s light was weak. So when his opponent’s perrserker burst free of its ball, already on the offensive, the umbreon wasn’t fully prepared to take the brunt of the IRON HEAD attack. The crash of the attack knocked Stella square on the forehead and rattled through her. WIth a shrill sound, she stumbled back toward Wren before crumpling by his feet.

He grit his teeth, the short-lived victory bitter on his tongue. Even that felt wrong, all of it felt so off. This was the last place Wren wanted to be, really. Even if he was opposed to this stranger, he didn’t like the idea of tearing others down in any capacity. And the harshness that his umbreon was treated with…no, there was no way that this was Levy. His Lev? He wouldn’t do that. The uncertainty of it wanted to swallow him up, he didn’t want to be here anymore.

But he couldn’t just leave, either.

“Bulldoze!” The command rang out as Basil sprang free. The gogoat’s hooves dug into the ground and pulled up earth as he built speed as he charged the perrserker– head tilted down and spiraled horns at the ready.


tldr; stella uses MOONLIGHT to recover, but it's weak due to time of day and is knocked out flat after being headbutted with IRON HEAD. Sends out his gogoat, who rushes perrserker with BULLDOZE
