Check out the rocket promotion here and stay tuned for many more exciting events!
major news alert!
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.
A small town, in the furthest reaches of the region.
The town where every trainer on this journey begins. And she was here too, another figure amongst the many here. Surprisingly, the age demographics were all over the place. From the very start of their journey, to those that had to wait for a long time. She herself, had given up her journey to work with the police and the rangers. But she was here now, wasn't she? The blonde woman closed her eyes for a moment, smiling slightly. Watching the younger ones run about, talking excitedly about their first pokemon... it was touching. Some were confused of course, as to why they had to come here, when the pokemon lab was in the other town.
Jessica understood a bit, why. Starting one's journey from a sleepy little town is the mark of any great hero. So anyone - and everyone - would begin from here. That's why there were hot-balloons and carriages to bring people to the town. And from there, the trainers would make their own way. She had been in one of those herself, but for some time now, she was just walking along the paths in the town, watching others. She knew that to start her own journey, she should just go ahead and walk out the route. It was that simple. And yet, perhaps it was too daunting for her. Or was she losing her nerve to some sort of half-hidden anxiety? Either option did not sound great.
Shifting blonde bangs from her eyes, the woman sighed. How was she to do this? The start of any journey is filled with anxiety and anticipation. She had planned to leave her home for months before she actually did it, the day after her eighteenth birthday. This was just another journey that she had planned. Pushing everything back within herself, the woman took in another breath. She was ready to move on. But her wanderings had brought her a little far from the normal paths travelled - and not everyone that wanted to start a journey was benevolent. In fact, one of the unsavoury types proceeded to reach out and grab her wrist, and forcibly pulling on her. The blonde ranger was pulled, but she dug in her heels.
Her steel - emerald for today - gaze encountered the delinquent's own, even as she thought of a way to escape or fight back. There was never a hero for this kind of thing, she had known for a long time, and so she was fully going to look only to herself for answers.
He was truly enthralled—the challenger within him swelling like a raging tsunami. Hands formed into tight fists, the same scarred fists known to pack enough force to send grown men into a state of deep unconsciousness. Silver eyes shifted between the happening, a Rattata and Wartortle locked in intense combat as both Trainers issued command after command. Truth be told, Jack wanted to jump into the fray. He wanted to release Sawk from his constraints and show these two the power of Fighting-Type Pokémon. But he wouldn't, the urge to do so great, but his competitor mindset more than enough to subside the strong feeling. This battle needed to happen, these two up-and-coming Trainers needed to taste the bitter-sweet taste of victory and defeat. Jack may not have liked what it meant to be a Trainer, but he understood the importance of a good fight and challenge, he was beginning to see what it meant to be a Pokémon Trainer.
The Rattata and Wartortle engaged in a deadlock. The Rattata threatened to gnaw away at the Wartortle, but the Wartortle used it's sturdy shell as a shield to cease the devastating puncture strength of the Rattata's fangs. This battle was so intense, so focus-consuming, if an unsuspected bystander threatened to stroll aimlessly in the fray, they'd get caught in the crossfire and sustain some serious damage whatever that may be. Luckily enough in this specific moment, Jack caught the glimpse of said unsuspecting bystander. He sprung into action to intercept the women—grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her off to the side to avoid the path the two Pokémon happened to be tumbling down with sharp fangs and hard shells.
"Damn that was close as hell. You good, lady?"
The youngest Bogard announced openly, his gaze fixating on the women for a brief moment before going back on the Pokémon bout—needless to say he didn't notice her challenging gaze. The image of her visage played in his head again as he watched the two domesticated beasts. He glanced at her again, almost instantly captivated by her stunning beauty. Just looking at this flawless female specimen gave him the inner and outer strength to overcome any and all impasses. His mind had became clear, no longer was he confused or questioning what he wanted to do with his life at this very moment. compared to right now, he thought he understood what it meant to be alive... But only now did he see the world in true color—a true vibrant color; beautiful beyond all words and belief. He needed to let her know how he is captivated by her beauty. How her presence alone gave him all the answers to every question he ever had! Damn you, Jack! Speak, you fool!

SHATTER ME
somebody shine a light
Now, normally she'd politely verbally blitch slap at any poor soul that dared to stand in her way.
But maybe this time she could let it pass, as she finally became aware of the pokemon battle before her. Her calm and steady nature let her smoothly take a soft step away from the one that grabbed her wrist. She took a moment to observe him, making sure to memorize features. Though, there was something familiar about the boy, she just couldn't place it. What she could place, is that he had the body, and stance of a fighter. Something she was familiar with, and something she could respect, although she thought he was a bit young for it. She herself was not necessarily a straight up fighter - she relied more on her pokemon - but she understood the basics.
She had to, in order to be efficient at her job right?
Her gaze shifted to the fight, and she knew that the Rattata would win. Why? Because the Wartortle - clearly higher in level - was on the defensive. That and the fact that Rattatas had a move that not a lot of people knew how to deal with. The gleam in the Youngster's eyes told her she was right - and the moment the turtle poked it's head out to attack, it was met with a vicious Hyper Fang. The blonde ranger watched the Wartortle fall, even as her gaze turned back to the boy - only to hear what he said.
A moment, and then three ticked by, as the trainers congratulated each other and separated.
''... you were serious.'' she said, her tone calm, and yet deadpan. She crossed her arms right under her bust - unknowingly pushing it up a little more invitingly - and pinned the kid with a stare. Her emerald eyes stared at him unflinchingly, before she shook her head. ''I'm just going to ignore that. Thank you for pulling me back, my name is Jessica, and yours?'' she added, keeping the amusement out of her voice. It was like the anxiety she felt earlier had just melted away, as she couldn't help but feel amused by the poor boy's poor attempt at flirting. Honestly, it was the first time someone reacted like that in her presence - that she knew of.
She wasn't even that beautiful, but she kept her unflinching gaze on the male, waiting for his answer.
Screwing up probably the only chance he had with this older female, his attention snapped back to the action only to see the Rattata standing victorious over the defeated Wartortle. It blew he missed the grand finale; the coup de grâce; the sunday punch, but he stood in the presence of a perfect specimen—he'd get over it. He glanced at the lady, her deadpan tone more than enough for Jack to realize she wasn't too amused by his advance. The overconfident teenager chuckled, flashing a full grill of pearly whites. She stood there as adults tend to do when dealing with children, her bust oh-so inviting. Jack had the courage of a powerful Arcanine, so he didn't even hide the fact he was somewhat eyeing her like a piece of meat. And as an adult, she introduced herself to the person that saved her from a world of potential pain. The youngest Bogard nodded, rubbing that clean-shaven chin of his and replied accordingly.
"Jessica, huh? You can ignore what I said but I'm only speaking the truth, y'know? I mean you got it going on, but I digress. My name is Jack, pleasure to meet you, gorgeous. And there's really no need to thank me, your beauty is thanks enough... Among other things, but again, I digress..."
He openly chuckled once again, his own arms crossing up against his chest. He met her hard gaze with a glare of his own, only difference being his gaze was filled with 100% confidence. A smirk then greeted Jessica followed by another string of words from the aspiring pugilist.
"You new in town or somethin'? This humble little spot hardly looks suitable enough for a thing such as yourself, y'know?"
Jessica's brain caught his wandering eyes, and the conclusion she came to was simple. He was checking her out. It's not like she hadn't had it done to her before - but it was definitely a new experience with someone younger - so she couldn't be too angry about it. Just a bit surprised. Usually people got put off by her coldness per say. It's not that she was cold, it's just it often seemed like part of her was unreachable, and that seemed to put off most people. That even if you made it past her exterior, there was just a never ending distance. A sort of long walk that few would even attempt, never mind succeed. But it seemed like this guy was just going to keep going, even though it would have been obvious to everyone else he was just going to crash and burn.
She stared at him a moment, trying to seriously keep the amusement off her face. The woman couldn't do it for long, as she felt an amused smile. Shaking her head, she let out a soft sigh, and let her arms fall off to her sides once more. ''New is defined by being a stranger. In that case, I'm not new to this town.'' she said. Which was true, she'd been here before, considering she lived over in Sunyshore. ''However, if you mean that I'm starting my pokemon journey, then you'd be correct in that regard.'' she added. She was just going to leave it at that, but she couldn't help but add a quip. ''Also, I don't have a child, nevermind one named Stacey.''
That's what she got for being forced to listen to popular songs. The blonde shifted her weight, and just raised an eyebrow. ''And what about you, Jack? What's your purpose in this sleepy little town?'' she asked him. That's when she pieced it together. His face had been on one of her teammates magazines that he read often, something about fighters? Whatever it was, that's where those features were from. Having placed where she'd seen them, she could stop worrying about it, for now at least. ''Hopefully not stirring up trouble.'' she added, a beat after her question. She had to ask, as a ranger cadet.
Although, she wondered if he would keep trying to flirt with her, despite her clearly not acknowledging most of it.
She wasn't new to the town, but she'd be starting her Pokémon journey—Say what?! How old was she? She looked between the ages of twenty and twenty-five. As a hormonal boy who just wanted to see some nice ladybits, Jack truly cared very little as long as the one flashing the bits looked good. But in regards to just starting her Pokémon journey... Wasn't she a little late to the party—I mean talk about a late bloomer, right? Mid thought he'd cock a brow at her following statement, confused as hell considering he never once mentioned anything about her being a mother. Or maybe this was some new slang he had never heard before? If that was the case he wondered which region she hailed from.
"Me? Pft. I'm just chillin' doing my thing, y'know? No trouble to be had here... Unless you tryna' do something with your sexy self."
He retorted—a grin with drifting eyes of silver. Sometimes his advances worked, sometimes they didn't. But Jack Bogard was never the type of man to just give up and not try. He only has one life to live and you better bet your bottom-dollar he's going to live up until his last days. If this Jessica—excuse me; Sexxica person wasn't feeling his advances, well, maybe he needed to try a different approach? Her age meant nothing to Jack and seeing how he's renowned and even feared by certain adults, he has long been since considered himself a fully grown man. So, truthfully, he saw no issue in what was going on at this very moment.
"I guess I could be considered a new Pokémon Trainer too, y'know? Though this is just something to pass the time until my fights are scheduled."
