"I guess, it still feels in a way like keeping them prisoners. I mean we can let them out, but it's our decision whether or not we let them out of their Pokéballs," he said with a small shrug. In a way, he knew what that was like. His father had proved that if he really wanted to, he could keep him confined in their home. He was pretty sure he hadn't done so because he didn't want to deal with questions pertaining to him.
[break][break]
Pushing thoughts of his father away, he decided to just focus on the task at hand. At the mention of catching the bug Pokémon and releasing them back into the wild, he nodded his consent. As long as he wasn't expected to keep any of them and they were going to be released back into the wild, he was fine with that.
[break][break]
Grabbing a few Pokéballs, he threw them at a few other Volt had managed to paralyze, causing them to be sucked into the Pokéballs. Between the two of them, catching the bug Pokémon wouldn't take long, and soon enough, it was just the two of them left in his home alongside their Pokémon.
[break][break]
"Are you sure you're okay to release them by yourself?" he asked. He really should clean up his home from where the bug Pokémon had knocked stuff over, but if she needed the help, he would postpone doing it in order to assist. They had invaded his home, after all, so it really should be on him to release them back into the wild.[break] annalise henderson

At the expressed gratitude, he simply inclined his head. Getting thanked was something that made him uncomfortable, not that he showed it. Showing emotion to someone, or really anyone, wasn't his cup of tea. Pokémon were different since he felt he could let his guard down around them.
[break][break]
Upon hearing the explanation, his gaze flickered briefly to the Abra. "Meteor Falls is considered dangerous, even for the most experienced of people. Dragon types are known as one of the most violent species of Pokémon, especially full-grown ones, so most people who don't have a lot of experience with battling tend to give it a wide berth. You're lucky you didn't get seriously hurt or worse," he said, keeping his tone impassive so it didn't seem like he was lecturing the other. To him, he was just stating facts anyway.
[break][break]
He watched the building tension between the Abra and Dizzy and had to resist the urge to sigh, the urge only growing when the Abra disappeared again, this time seemingly permanently, after Zachary requested his stolen item back. Though something told him this wouldn't be the last time they saw the mischievous Abra.
[break][break]
"Can't say I share your sentiment. The Abra line isn't a line I particularly want. An Espeon wouldn't be so bad if it was large enough to be a mount or a Wrydeer. Just something I could use as a mount," he said with a small shrug before agreeing with the younger that they needed to get outside where they would be safer.
[break][break]
Simply gesturing for them to follow, he began to trek in the direction he knew the exit was. Nyx kept to his side, ready to protect them as need be, as they made the trek through Meteor Falls until they got outside.[break] zachary stellar

That was all he could ask for, so he simply nodded as they continued. Almost as if talking about it had summoned them, two Solrock stepped into their path. Without saying anything, he eyed the two Solrock before releasing Rook from his Pokéball just as Elise’s Mismagius stopped the Stone Edge from hitting them.
[break][break]
Making a note to thank the Mismagius later, he directed Rook to attack the Solrock Elise’s Pokémon hadn’t attacked by simply pointing at it. He didn’t give it an order, trusting him to know what to do. That, and he didn’t really like ordering his Pokémon to attack other Pokémon, even if it had to be done.
[break][break]
Rook knew this, so he didn’t waste any time slamming into the Solrock with a powerful Steel Wing, hoping that if he made it quick, Ever wouldn’t feel so bad. Even if all they were doing was knocking the Pokémon out.[break] Elise Calcifet

He was well aware that the further down one went in the place, the stronger the Pokémon got. Of course, there were other things that stood out the further down one went. Of course, his main focus had been on the stronger Pokémon, mainly because the other stuff couldn’t really fight back. Though he had to admit, he would much rather deal with some powerful Pokémon than whatever it was that had forced him to feel fear. He really hadn’t liked that.
[break][break]
Instead of saying anything, he simply nodded. There were a number of ways he could respond to her comment, and just wanting to get started, he didn’t bother. It wasn’t like they had all the time in the world anyway.
[break][break]
At the mention of dream mist, he stiffened, becoming even more alert. To be fair, he was a bit wary of this so-called dream mist. But as the older ranger had said, they didn’t have time to worry about it. Right now, they should focus on the battle ahead of them.
[break][break]
“Right, prepare yourself, Celestia,” he told the prideful horse Pokémon. Not that he needed to issue a warning, since she was already on guard, even if the prideful way she had her head raised didn’t say as much.[break] Shalin Nariya

To his relief, she agreed to tell him if she was having trouble. While it was true that he was a perceptive individual, he wasn't a mind reader. So he would probably be able to tell something was wrong before she told him, but that didn't mean he would know what was wrong. He was good at reading people, but he wasn't quite that good.
[break][break]
Not saying anything, he only nodded. There wasn't much need to continue that line of conversation. As long as it was agreed that she would let him know if she was having trouble with something, well... that was good enough for him.
[break][break]
Continuing through the chasm, he inquired about the battle readiness of her Pokémon upon hearing the roar. "That's good. While it's possible a battle won't happen while we're down here, I'd rather be safe than sorry," he told her, thinking over his own Pokémon. All were battle-ready, having been trained to protect those around them. Hopefully, a battle wouldn't be necessary though.[break] Elise Calcifet

The roar came again, sounding even closer, causing him to stiffen. Worried about whatever it was attacking, he went back to scanning their surroundings. Busy scanning their surroundings, he didn't answer Razz right away. Then he saw it. It was a Pokémon he had never seen before, so he tried to use his Rotom Phone to scan it. Of course, being too far away, it didn't happen.
[break][break]
Oh well, he guessed giving a description was the best he could.
[break][break]
"I see something," he said finally in response to the older male before continuing the communication and describing what the Koraidon looked like. "Does that Pokémon sound familiar?" he inquired once he had finished describing it.
[break][break]
Hopefully, whatever it was wouldn't give them too much trouble. Though just in case, he told Rook to be ready to battle in case a battle was inevitable.[break] Raziel Beckett

The sewers. Why exactly had he been tasked with this? While not a neat freak, he was a bit big on cleanliness. So getting tasked with dealing with poison-type Pokémon running amok had come as a surprise. At least they were expected to deal with the problem peacefully.
[break][break]
Coffee thermos in hand, he walked through the sewers until he found his way to the meeting spot. To his surprise, he wasn't the first to arrive. And that was saying something since he was the type to usually arrive early to something. Part of it being a general dislike of being tardy.
[break][break]
Like the other ranger, he decided to work out of uniform. Mostly because he didn't see it as an official ranger mission. Instead, he had chosen to wear a pair of jeans and a button-up, not his usual choice of attire. Usually, he dressed quite nicely, often wearing slightly dressy clothes to seem more put together.
[break][break]
"Hello, sorry if I kept you waiting. Anyway, my name's Ever," he said, his gaze flickering briefly to the oddly colored Sylveon. Hair dye, he assumed, considering shiny Sylveon were blue and white, not black and red.
[break][break]
The Fairy type did make him think of his own Pokémon, especially his Galarian Rapidash, who now that he thought about it, might come in handy for this mission. But for now, Nyx, his Gliscor, was the one outside of her Poké Ball.[break] Lutgarde Dijkstra

He was well aware that Corviknight were easy to spot, but if he took off the saddle, then it could pass as a wild Corviknight. Then again, that begged the question of where they would store it. Abandoning it was out of the question; it cost way too much money to even consider. Carrying it was also out of the question since it would slow them down and make them targets to any Pokémon, as well as make them more noticeable, not that his hair didn't already do that.
[break][break]
"Sorry, guess we'll have to count on you to scout ahead after all. Most of my Pokémon are used as mounts, so most have a saddle on them," he explained, his tone slightly apologetic.
[break][break]
He wished he had Pokémon that were more capable of helping, but it was what it was.
[break][break]
The young man watched as she released three of her own Pokémon and watched as they went off before answering her question. "Let's see, I also have a Zebstrika, an Abomasnow, and a Galarian Rapidash. The Galarian Rapidash has Heal Pulse, so she can heal injuries if she needs to," he told her.
[break][break]
His mouth was opening as he prepared to answer her question when a sound caught his interest. "What was that?" he asked instead before looking around. In the poor lighting, he thought he could make out a shape, easily missed if you weren't trying to look for it.
[break][break]
Frowning, he slowly approached to see it was an injured Lycanroc, bigger than normal. At least big enough to ride.
[break][break]
Releasing Celestia from her Poké Ball, he directed her to use Heal Pulse on the injured canine Pokémon before turning his attention to Eleanor.
[break][break]
"Think she was injured by Team Rocket," he asked before remembering her other question.
[break][break]
"Anyway, to answer your question, I guess I would say I think better on my feet instead of thinking out a long strategy when it comes to battling."[break] Elinor Anderson

Having been in Area Zero and the surrounding areas before, he knew just how they worked. So he was well aware of what needed to be done to make a quick exit if he had to. However, instead of saying anything, he simply nodded to show he had understood, seeing no point in talking unless he really had to.
[break][break]
It wasn't that he had a problem with Shalin. He just wasn't a very social person. He never had been. So if he could get away with not saying something, he would take it.
[break][break]
A question that needed a verbal response. Or should he say a pair of questions.
[break][break]
"Yes, I came down here to help map out Area Zero, so I've been down here before," he told the older ranger.[break] Shalin Nariya

If she said she was doing fine, he would believe her. Well, more like he wouldn't push her to talk if she didn't want to. It wasn't like he was the best at talking about feelings. His past kind of made it so he wasn't the best at talking about his emotions or comforting people, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try the latter though.
[break][break]
Though not the best at comforting people, it did seem like his words had helped. She did seem more at ease now.
[break][break]
"If you end up having any problems, don't be afraid to let me know. Ignoring problems, even if it's as simple as needing rest, could lead to more trouble than it's worth," he told her. In other words, don't ignore what your body is telling you just because you feel like you'll hold the other person back. Not that he had any right to preach about something like that since he tended to do that very thing.
[break][break]
However, he was pretty used to ignoring what his body was telling him. With that said, he continued walking. Not long after continuing, he heard a roar. One he had heard before.
[break][break]
"In the event we run into a Pokémon, how battle-ready are your Pokémon?"[break] Elise Calcifet
