witness reports from all over the region has been flooding in about strange happenings at the three lakes. what's more perplexing is that these occurrences seem to be happening spontaneously at the lakes. just moments ago, a burst of light erupted at the locations and residents in the vicinity have reported that the lake-side pokemon have turned aggressive and attack on sight.
However, there have been rumours and sightings of the legendary lake trio which has had trainers flocking in from all over the region.

Hunter was bored. Bored was really an understatement though, she was for once not flooded with missions and had no idea what to do with herself. It was almost tragic really, and she was sat in the rec room upside down with her legs hanging off the back of the couch.
She needed a distraction, and a good one.
What she didn't need was more news about Rocket rising up and Galactic and their shenanigans, which was currently on the news. With a sigh she turned off the television, groaning as she popped her stiff joints.

"Heard enough for one day?" Silas' lips let out a soft laughter as he walked closer to the individual who was sitting on the couch in a position that made her seem more like a child than an adult. It was relieving, though, to find somebody who wasn't so prim and proper. He hated to feel like all they wanted was a straight stance and a blank face while he stood in attention.
"My name's Silas. You're a ranger here, right?" He figured that the girl was, since she was here of all places. Although they did allow civilians inside to access their training grounds, so there was that possibility. Still he wore a smile and tried to come off as friendly he could. It wasn't like him to sound like a jerk, or anything like that. Silas was actually the type to stray from such bad influences...he didn't do well under scrutiny.

Hmm? Oh, there was someone else in the room. Hunter looked up at the kid from between her spread legs, blinking as one of her unlaced boots threatened to fall off her foot. Oh look at him. What a cute face! Hunter hummed vaguely for a moment, lamenting the fact Raj wasn't around to distract her from other pretty faces before she decided holding a conversation upside down wasn't the worst thing to happen.
"Well hello Silas. Nice name, haven't heard that one yet. I'm Hunter, nice to meet you too."
He looked like he could beat her in a fair pokemon battle, which wasn't really fair to her considering she was still a cadet, but he held himself rather nicely. She kicked her left foot up, sliding her boot back on before swinging it back down and sighing as the boot thumped to the floor anyway.
"I'm a scout here, sent out to do some recon on pokemon and people. This Rocket and Galactic bullshit is making my job harder."

"Thanks." A compliment? He picked the right person to talk to, or so it seemed for the moment being. The subject quickly turned to speak about teams Galactic and Rocket soon after, and how they made her job a pain to perform. "They have? How so?" Realistically he could see why they would have such an impact, but Silas wanted to know a bit more specifically why it hindered Hunter's ability to scout the region. Maybe she already had a run-in with them? It would certainly be interesting to hear about. "I thought Team Rocket went back into hiding after temporarily taking control over Jubilife." At least, word had it that this was how it went down. Who could really say way they went, or if they even left. Of course, smart criminals didn't remain at the scene of the crime like that.
Waiting for an answer, he looked at the boot that hit the ground and couldn't help but flash a smirk for a small moment. Hunter seemed like a very careless person, which he admired to some degree. Silas was always worrying about what people said, and how his actions were judged by them. Her, though? She seemed to play on the couch, sitting upside down with no real care in the world what others thought. If only Silas could be more like her...

Hunter puffed out her cheeks with irritation. Just thinking about the damage Rocket and Galactic were causing was giving her a headache, and she hated it. She hated them really, well maybe not Galactic. Thought of Raj and Liam filled her head for a moment and her gaze lazily flickered to the blank screen before she started to sit up, legs still thrown over the couch. She leaned her torso against the back in an incredible display of flexibility and sighed dramatically.
"They are ruining the balance in the region. More pokemon are upset about things and people are more desperate than ever now. Which makes keeping the peace a pain in the ass."
She lamented with a sigh. She wiggled her bootless foot sadly and kicked off the other one, her pink and blue stripes socks obnoxiously bright.

"Oh, okay. I see what you mean now." Silas watched her all the while as she maneuvered the couch flawlessly, her brightly colored socks catching his eye. Realizing he was staring at her, his gaze shifted away quickly to the blank screen before looking back to Hunter's face. "I'm actually more upset they cowered and left before any of our own could put some cuffs on'em. Would be nice to feel like we got some of them off the streets." Now it was impossible to tell where they were, what with nobody to interrogate. The investigation went dead and no real charges could be acted upon. The law didn't always win...
"But at least they're giving us some time, y'know? To prepare for...what comes next." His gaze seemed to be lost, and in actuality it was. Silas started to contemplate what could come next. They wouldn't do anything less wicked than the incident in Jubilife, which made the young ranger wonder if it would come down to casualties. He didn't like the thought...
Silas snapped out of it, hoping to rid himself of these lingering thoughts. He knew of only a few ways how, but was quick to entertain option number one. "Hey, do you think we could have a battle? Just a one-versus-one." Hopefully Hunter was at least a little interested in getting up from that couch, otherwise it would have to be option number two, and that meant trying to make her uncomfortable enough to hit him across the head...

Hunter hummed in agreement, bobbing her head slightly. It was pretty annoying, both of the groups, but Rocket now more so considering they had just up and done that whole stunt that made the rangers look like fools.
"Damn straight. If only we could have gotten our hands on one or two of them we'd have a slew of useful info."
She sighed a bit dramatically, cradling her chin in her palm. Her brows rose slightly at the question, but she grinned good naturedly and stretched herself, sliding over the back of the couch fluidly and picking one of her pokeballs at random.
"One v one? Sure thing kiddo let's do this! Where though? We should move to the training grounds so when you kick my ass it won't damage anything."
With that she'd forego her boots, leaving them behind as she stalked toward the training grounds in stockinged feet.

"I wouldn't be so sure of it...but yeah, let's go." Silas made way towards the training grounds along with her, staring at her stockings when he realized hunter left her boots behind. 'That's kind of peculiar...' But it gave a little bit of insight on what kind of person she was; how at home and free she felt around this place, and it's people. She seemed to pick a poke ball at random, leaving Silas to wonder what exactly was inside it. It could be just about anything. When they arrived Silas was quick to take to the other side of the arena and face Hunter. He reached within his jacket and plucked the first poke ball in his line-up. "I'll go with this one." Releasing it's content, a stream of light would allow the Swampert to manifest, letting out a light roar once it realized what seemed to be going on. "You can start this off. Ladies first, you know." Silas tucked the poke ball back inside his jacket before calling out to this pokemon. "Get ready, Swampert." The pokemon looked back to nod at it's trainer before fixating it's gaze back in the direction of Hunter and whatever pokemon she would send out.

Hunter grinned good naturedly as a small crowd began to form around them as people realized what was about to happen. Whispers rang out, bets were made, and Hunter was ready to get her ass beat. This was all in good fun she knew this, but still she wasn't going to just roll over and take it. She flipped out the pokeball from the tips of her fingers and let it fall open, Amphitrite floating out of the ball with a ghastly cry.
The ghost/ice type floated in the air, looking around for a moment before chirping happily seeing Hunter. Trainer and pokemon shared a moment before Hunter pointed toward the Swampert.
"Alright Amphitrite, let's show 'em what we got! Ice Fang!"

'A Froslass, huh?' It was a cute pokemon for a cute girl, which made sense. A crowd started to form by now, and Silas grew excited as Hunter declared the first attack. Even if it were a friendly battle, it still got his blood flowing. "Swampert, use Protect!" The amphibian would shield itself from the attack effortlessly, buying some time for Silas to choose a direction for their offensive. "Rock Throw!" Swampert responded quickly and lobbed the piece of earth towards the Froslass. If Silas were right, and it hit, then the damage done would be relatively severe as ice types were weak to rock types. Although there was always the possibility that Hunter's pokemon would dodge...
Swampert used Protect against the Ice Fang! Swampert used Rock Throw!

Hunter didn't really think this through if she was honest. She saw that now. She rolled her eyes but smiled when the Swampert used protect, that move would never cease to frustrate her. She wasn't one to go on the defense often, she was all offense baby. But what really killed her, was realizing that there was a type advantage here. She sighed and put a hand to her face, shaking her head with a slight smile. Amphitrite took the hit, having been a bit too distracted to really dodge. She cried out and shook herself out, already feeling weak.

His Swampert seemed to take the next attack pretty well, shaking off the cold and standing strong. Hunter looked to be mildly upset, a hand covering her face, though if his eyes didn't deceive him...apparently she was smiling? Silas wasn't sure whether to feel bad or good, but he continued the battle after a moment's hesitation. "Alright buddy, keep using rock throw." The Swampert obliged and took aim for the Froslass with it's next slew of rocks. Meanwhile Silas stared to Hunter, still contemplating if the smile was forced, or if there was something she was hiding. Maybe she wasn't taking the battle very seriously, and was humored by how fixated Silas was on winning?

Luckily for Amphitrite, she was smart. She dodged the next attack and braced herself, but Hunter was a bit smarter. She knew the next attack would faint the Froslass, and so she rushed into the battle as the next barrage of rocks rushed toward her pokemon.
"Oomph!"
She took a medium sized rock to the gut and doubled over, wheezing out a small laugh.
"Okay okay you win Silas! Dude wow I was NOT thinking there, you totally had the type advantage. Lemme try something real quick."
She approached slowly, rubbing her stomach as the crowd watched on in confusion. She whistled and made low growling noises, similar to how Swamperts sounded in the wild. It was a friendly call, one that came with gatherings.
She wanted to see how far her "pokemon whispering" went. Hopefully she wouldn't be attacked. Amphitrite floated closer behind her, calling out hauntingly in response.

The battle didn't last very long, Hunter going as far as jumping in front of the attack Swampert made on her Froslass. "Woah!" The impact didn't seem too bad. Silas was expecting much worse. The Swampert looked a bit confused, Silas moving walking to her immediately. "Don't do that again, you scared me." Swampert walked with Silas, looking at hunter inquisitively. His head was held low, as if sorry for hitting the girl with it's rock. "I guess we won, though I wonder if you didn't take it easy on me." That, or maybe Hunter just wasn't really sure what his pokemon could do. Perhaps that was why she was showing a bit of interest in him now to make calls like so.

"Aww it's fine, I'm not hurt I promise. I promise I didn't take it easy on you, type advantages really suck in battles if I'm honest. Anyway let's see....oh you are quite a beauty huh?"
She crouched down onto her knees in front of the swampert, leaning forward to gently butt her head against his in a friendly display. She made a few more growls, of apology and of forgiveness before making a more playful noise.
The crowd made a hushed but confused din, all waiting to see what happened. It started to disperse really, but people who had heard rumors about Silas and Hunter and wanted to meet the senior rangers stuck around.
