WELCOME TO THE SINNOH REGION, a massive island rich with exploration and Pokemon. Legends say that Sinnoh was the very first Pokemon region to come into being;
and so the nefarious Team Galactic has begun searching for the time and space Pokemon in an effort to destroy and recreate the entire Pokemon Universe. Will you step up, earn your badges,
and fight to defend the world? Or do you believe in Galactic ideals, wishing to follow their efforts in starting anew?
[ 08.15 ] Welcome to Sinnoh! Team Rocket have arrived in Sinnoh and have left a very daunting message here. With the introduction of a new class comes another promo!
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.
debriefing was a bitch. two hours total were spent in a room basically interrogated. situations like these always needed someone to pin the blame on; the miners, them, or maybe it was just shitty luck. either way the man didn't back down from any accusations. they did their best under the circumstances. if it was up to him his partner would be receiving a medal or whatever. in the end the blame was pinned on shitty luck. two hours to come up with a decision.
stupid.
he was however being reprimanded for using fire in the mines which could have caused an even bigger mess. he didn't argue that one since it was his fault. the media's picked up on this story as well. some outlets would call them heroes, others would shame them. but he was used to it by now, it was just his partner he worried about. it might just have been her first appearance on any media outlet.
but now it was time to follow through on his offer. there was a nice bar in oreburgh, not so fancy but not so shitty either. he'd meet the ranger there after freshening up. but just as usual he was late even if only by ten minutes. it still warranted an apology.
"i'm here, sorry. only ten minutes this time though."
exhaustion would set in as night falls- as she falls on her bed with a heavy, rattled sigh Alpha would be reminded she had made plans tonight. It was something new-- she's tired. She wants to stay home, but she's a better person than that. She said she would go, and she was going to follow through. Casual clothes take the place of ranger gear, the jeans and black, but casual, tank a rare sight on the woman. Only one pokemon accompanies her, the newly evolved Hapi tucked away in its pokeball clipped safely onto her belt.
She's early, as always. Alpha only has to wait ten minutes this time- a welcome surprise. She smiles warmly upon his arrival with a nod and small wave. She feels uncomfortable, out of place. Everyone seems to blend into their surroundings so easily and she... she feels different. Not usually one to be haunted by anxiety, the worried expression shows. "We should, ah, um, go in, then?" her hands are wrapped up in each other, nervous fiddling apparently as she holds the door open for him with a weak smile.
he would give her a friendly smile and a nod before walking into the bar. it wasn't as crowded as some places were, booths were still somewhat empty and the bar was too. there were only about ten people there but the atmosphere was still lively. chill music played in the background, low but still audible enough to set the tone of the place.
he led her over to the bar, favoring it over a booth. a quick wave at the bartender to gain his attention was followed by the raising of two fingers. he took it upon himself to order for the woman, seeing as this was her first time ever having a drink. so he started out with something light; draft beer poured into glasses would soon be placed in front of them.
"hard to believe this is your first ever drink but whatever." he chuckled before picking up the glass. no effort was made to a toast instead he simply chugged about a third of it down. "any good?" he asked. he started to feel himself warming up just a bit, effects from the alcohol slowly starting to kick in. but it was good kind this time around. he took another sip before turning over to face the girl.
"relax, don't be so nervous. you fit in just fine." he'd offer her a reassuring smile.
a nervous laugh as the drink is placed in front of her, fingers wrapping around the cold glass. as she glances to the side she can see him down a good chunk of it, but that same confidence is not present in her. so she stalls. "it was never on the agenda. i go to bed early, i wake up early, i work. i like doing it that way," she shrugs. "dehydration in the desert will get you killed- i took no chances in Dahara, despite the oasis." found memories of the place bring a smile to her face; she finally lifts the beer, bringing it to her lips. the smallest sip is taken, but her nose scrunches anyway. she frowns, setting it down and going back into a staring contest with it.
"people drink this because they like it?"
it tasted like piss. still, she's not going to turn down the challenge now. another nervous laugh, "i doubt that, i assume people here enjoy the taste." still, she powers through as she takes a bigger drink, ignoring the awful taste on her tongue. yeasty- somewhat sweet, but in all the worst ways.
"why'd you leave?" he asked. the desert seemed interesting enough to him but he supposed it would get boring real quick. he could never live her life; sleep early, wake up early, work. "it sounds like you need to spice up your agenda. someone with your looks should have no problem attracting men." he smiled, feeling the alcohol slowly stream into his system.
another sip. he laughed at her reaction, recalling his first time drinking. the memory brought a smile to his face; he wasn't so innocent back then either, to be fair. "some like it, some drink it for other reasons." he fell into both categories, unfortunately. "you'll get used to it eventually." that's what they all say, and it was somewhat true. to her question he could only ask, "at this bar or in general?" and the fact that he had to ask that made him laugh, realising just how bad his addiction was.
"almost every night if nothing comes up." even he knew it was sad but he didn't know what else to do. he just kept getting pulled back in. "i swear i'm not that sad." he chuckled before taking another sip, turning back to face her.
"what happened in the room after i left?" he asked, referring to the debriefing they had earlier. she was asked to stay longer than he was, which either meant a promotion or a suspension of sorts. "did they reprimand you? they're idiots if they did." glass almost empty now.
she feels her face heat up at the comment on her appearance, a nervous smile automatically taking the place of any frown. "i am not worried about finding a man," she laughs, "i left for adventure's sake. i will return eventually, but i must see the world first. it has been a good experience so far, i think..." besides earlier that day, of course. then again, all ranger duties came with their own heap of shit. she sips the beer again, ignoring the awful flavor in exchange for a little warmth.
"other reasons?" she looks at him with a brow raised, hands wrapped around her own glass. "is it what you mentioned earlier, about.. numbing?" she searches for the right word; earlier today seemed like such a blur that her memory wasn't functioning correctly. or maybe it was the alcohol. she doesn't realize that the glass is empty, that she's been sipping and sipping until her tongue has either gone numb or gotten used to the taste. her laugh comes easily as he tells her about his nights at the bars, eventually her chin coming to rest on her hand as another drink it placed in front of her. something as serious as discussing her debriefing become almost a joke.
"i was only slightly scolded, but commended. there is only so much that can be done with two people," she sighs, shrugs, and takes another drink, shoulders relaxing, attention shifting from rory to the rest of the bar as she watches men and women alike drink. a colorful drink catches her soft, yellow eyes as she hones in on it. soft fingers trace over rory's hand as she tries to get his attention. her posture straightens, the shirt she wears has pulled up to reveal soft, caramel skin, glistening in the bar lights. plump, perky, but soft breasts would become prominent as she sits up straight, part of her toned stomach shows as she thinks of the right words. "what is that?" her melodic voice, though quiet, would travel straight to him as she turns to him, soft lips parting into a smile as she points at the fruity concoction.
