Forums » General Adventure » A Wild Ranger Appears! Pineroot Woods

Having trekked their way to the West coast, a ranger and his Pokemon crossed along rivers under the shadow of mountains and through wilderness to finally arrive in the middle of Pineroot Woods. By the information given to him by the other Rangers, more familiar with the territory than he, this Ranger was nearing the town of Whalerdrake. It was just through the cramped woods and spider webbed pathways.

His camp was made within a dying tree that a hole in the side of its fallen girth large enough to fit a few people in it comfortably. It was much warmer than the cave from an earlier night, and the sounds of the forest were present: Pokemon calls and the occasional falling branch. Just over the edge of the woods ahead, when standing on the fallen tree, the Ranger could see the town's shoddily repaired roofs.

Observing the sights this ranger looked to his scarlet red jacket as white button up shirt with pride. Should someone be in need he was there, any person or pokemon could depend on him with their life.

A low rumbling sound came from his shoulder, "Hungry?" He chuckled an a small black ball of fur uncurled to reveal a Zorua. "Roger that." The small fox pokemon had a red vest on his body that would protect him from harm while identifying him as the partner pokemon of a ranger, his name according the the white thread on his vest was Hades.

This ranger's jacket identified him as Ash, however his given name was Phoenix. Prior to his training and now service with the rangers he was once a medical technician in his home town, Nurse Joy allowed him to help out in the center and go treat injured pokemon who were unable to be brought to the center as well as people sometimes. His occupation among the rangers was medic, however given their assignments he was unlikely to need that knowledge. Some berries from his backpack fed the famished pokemon.

"Want to wander into town?" Suddenly the Zorua who was faking being so hungry he was tired leapt to his feet. "Oh boy do I! I'll race you!" Sure enough he ran out of the forest and to town as Ranger Ash pursued him. "Use caution, you will get injured." With that his journey had begun in earnest.
The trek into town took a bit of time, but having braved the spider webs, rotting trees, pitfalls, and the wild animal calls (even though the Pokemon that they belonged to didn't show up), the Ranger was able to make it into Whalerdrake. Just as he arrived, several of the townsmen were standing around, looking queerly at one of the buildings, "Didja see that? Looked like the Pokecenter guys. Strange." Then they assumed talking about what they caught this morning, fishing.

The town was rather small, only having a few houses, a Pokemart, and a Pokecenter. There was also the Nirvana Reserve which was another light trek towards the peninsula of Whalerdrake. There were no fancy restaurants, but the fishing of Whalerdrake was sufficient enough to sustain the town on its own, but hardly was income-worthy.
