J-Awesome_One

I had been in the Elite Ranks of being a ranger for a couple of months and had done many Elite Ranger Missions. I’ve saved people/Pokemon from harm, saved children/Pokemon from kidnappers, stopped armed robberies, stopped Pokemon from rampaging, a lot. It’s all been dangerous but I got to save people and Pokemon and that’s what kept me going. 1 day, Kevin came into my room but he seemed very worried about something. Felicia: Hey Kevin. What’s up? Are you ok? You look like something horrible just happened. Kevin: We just got a… well I don’t know if I can call it a Ranger Mission but we got a letter in the mail today and it was addressed to you and… Felicia: And what? Kevin: I-I think you’ll understand more if you were to read it. Come follow me into the lobby. I got up from my bed and followed Kevin into the lobby. I was curious as to what had him this spooked. What could possibly be written in this letter? Was it something sad? Did something happen to 1 of my parents? Were they ok? These were the kinds of questions that were running through my head. When we got to the front desk, the lady handed over the letter. She too had a worried look om here face. I started to read the letter. “Felicia, you messed up my whole operation all those months ago. You may think you’ve taken me down but I’m not done yet. The only way to continue my operation is to eliminate you. If you have any guts at all, you will meet me outside in Mauville during the night alone and we will solve this issue. Enjoy your final moments alive kid. You’re gonna need it.” After I finished reading it, I could feel my heartbeat start pounding fast. I thought for a moment that it was literally going to beat right out of my chest. I never had anyone directly threaten me like this in any way or form. Kevin could see I was visibly shaken. He came up and put his hand on my shoulder. Kevin: Felicia. Are you ok? Felicia: This… I can’t believe this is… I don’t know what to say. Kevin: Alright. You’re gonna have to have some kind of body guard until we get this guy into custody. Felicia: What? It is scary and all but I don’t need a body guard. Kevin: I’m sorry Felicia but I’m not taking the chance of having 1 of my top Rangers be… Well you know. Felicia: Kevin, I- Kevin: And I’m gonna be that body guard. Felicia: I really don’t think I need 1. Kevin: My mind is made up. You will be safe as long as you are here. Felicia: Ugh. Fine… I guess. I went back to my room, sat down on my bed and looked outside. I didn’t know how my life was going to be with all of this going on. For the next 2 weeks, anywhere I went, Kevin was right there with me. Nothing happened though. 1 night, Kevin headed into my room. Kevin: Hey kid. How you doing? Felicia: I’m alright. I really wish I didn’t have a body guard still. Kevin: -chuckles nervously- Well there’s no way I’m risking you losing your life to that asshole that wants to kill you. Felicia: Yea yea. I know. But still. I wish I could go 1 day without you around me. I mean no offense but I’d like to have some time to myself. Kevin: Well hopefully, this guy gets caught soon so your life can get back to the way it was. Felicia: Yea… Hey. I think I’m gonna go to sleep early tonight Kevin. Kevin: Alright Felicia. Have a good night’s sleep. I laid down on my bed and pretended to be asleep. An hour passed. When I was sure everyone was fast asleep by now, I carefully opened my window and snuck out the window and started to head down to Mauville. I wasn’t too sure on what I was doing. I didn’t even have any idea what this person looked like. When I got down to Mauville, I started to search the city very carefully. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anyone. I then went over to the bad side of Mauville. This was the area where the bad guys would hang out and do their evil deeds. Despite that though, I couldn’t see anyone. I was getting frustrated. But then, I heard someone call me. ???: Felicia… So you finally came. Felicia: -turns around and looks around- Alright. Where are you? Show yourself! From an alleyway, a tall man dressed somewhat gentlemanly emerged. He slowly came walking up to me. When I saw him coming towards me, my body froze. I wanted to move but I just couldn’t. The man walked up to me and stopped about 3 feet away from me. He looked at me up and down and seemed to look angry. Poacher Boss: So you’re Felicia huh? Can’t believe you’re the 1 who took down my men. Felicia: W-Who… What’s your name? Poacher Boss: You really think I’m gonna tell you my name? Dumbass girl. I’m here to kill you. -pulls out a knife- But I know there’s gonna be some sort of fight. Heh. Felicia: You’re not gonna be killing anyone! You’re gonna be going to PokeJail! Poacher Boss: I’d love to see you try. Felicia: Help me out Rattata and Galvantula! Alolan Rattata: Rrrrattata! Galvantula: Gal Galvantula! Poacher Boss: -laughs loudly- This will be easier than I thought. Your Pokemon do indeed look strong but… -holds a PokeBall in his hand- mine is clearly stronger. Let’s end this quickly Infernape! The Boss Poacher threw out his PokeBall and out popped his Infernape. I could tell by just looking at this Pokemon that it loved to inflict pain on anything. Human or Pokemon. I had Galvantula use String Shot to hold Infernape in place and had Alolan Rattata use Quick Attack on it. The attack landed but it didn’t seem to taken much damage. Felicia: W-What? But it was a direct hit. Poacher Boss: Did you really think such a pathetic attack from such a pathetic Pokemon would work on Infernape? Infernape: Infern… -smiles evilly- Felicia: Damnit! Poacher Boss: Burn the String Shot up and then use Flair Blitz on the Galvantula and Mach Punch on the Rattata! The Infernape flared up the fire and burned off the String Shot. Before I could even make a command to 1 of my Pokemon, the Infernape landed the Flare Blitz on Galvantula, instantly knocking it out. It then turned around and landed a Mach Punch on Rattata. The little rat Pokemon flew backwards and hit the ground. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Poacher Boss: And just like that, it’s over. Felicia: No… No! Not like this! Galvantula! Rattata! Urgh! Damnit! Poacher Boss: -holds the knife up- And now for you Felicia. Alolan Rattata: R… Ratta…ta… -slowly begins to stand back up- Felicia: Rattata? Poacher Boss: Hmm. Never seen an Alolan Rattata take this kind of damage and be able to keep going. However, it’s time to put it out of its misery. Infernape, Close Combat! Felicia: No! Don’t! I couldn’t do anything though. I watched as the Infernape charged my Alolan Rattata with Close Combat but before it landed the move, Rattata was able to avoid the attack. It then launched itself at Infernape but the move it used confused me. It was able to knock back the Infernape. Even the Poacher Boss seemed shocked by this. Poacher Boss: I… don’t understand. That move it used… That was Close Combat. Felicia: Close Combat? But… Rattata’s can’t learn that. Unless… Was that Me First? Alolan Rattata: Rrrat Rattata! Felicia: That’s great Rattata! Poacher Boss: It doesn’t matter what move it learned! It won’t be enough for Infernape! Close Combat again! Felicia: Use Me First! The Infernape once again came at Rattata with Close Combat. Luckily, Alolan Rattata was able to dodge and was about to retaliate with Me First but before it could, the Poacher Boss had Infernape use Mach Punch. It landed the attack on Alolan Rattata and officially knocked it out. It was over now. I was completely alone. My Pokemon did the best they could do but it was no match for this Infernape. The Poacher Boss came slowly up to me and rasied the knife in the air. This was it. My life was going to end right here. I closed my eyes and waited for him to stick the knife in me. I waited and waited but nothing was happening. I could then hear him and his Pokemon struggling for some reason. I opened my eyes and was shocked to see that the Elgyem I saved all those months ago and its friends were trying to keep Infernape and the Poacher Boss from harming me and my Pokemon any further using their Confusion attack. I could see that they were already reaching their limit though. Elgyem: El… gy…eeeem… Felicia: Just hold on a bit longer Elgyem! I’ll figure out someth- ???: Barbaracle, Shell Smash and then use Water Gun on the Infernape! Felicia: Huh?! Is that… From out of nowhere, Kevin and his Barbaracle came running towards us. I was so excited to see him coming. His Barbaracle did as it was told and thanks to Shell Smash, the Water Gun attack was stronger and was able to knock out the Infernape in 1 attack. Kevin was then able to apprehend the Poacher Boss, which Elgyem then let go but started to fall to the ground. I caught it and held it in my arms. Felicia: Elgyem… thank you… Thank you and your friends so much… Elgyem: Elgy… em… Kevin: Well, the Poacher Boss will be sent off to PokeJail now. Felicia: Yea. Thanks for saving me Kevin. Kevin: -hugs Felicia- What were you thinking looking for that man all by yourself?! You could have seriously been hurt! Felicia: I… I know but I just wanted it to be over and I thought that I could… I’m sorry. Kevin: It’s ok Felicia. It’s ok now. Felicia: -let’s go of Kevin- You should also thank this little guy too. Kevin: Well Elgyem, it looks like I have you to thank as well for saving Felicia here. Elgyem: Elgyem! Felicia: How did you even know I was here? Suddenly, I could see something appearing in my mind. I looked back at Kevin confused and he seemed to have the same reaction on his face so I assumed it was happening to him too. I could start seeing someone that was doing something. When I focused more onto the person, I could see that it was me. I was on 1 of my missions when I got to be an Elite Ranger. And then I could see another vision of me training against 1 of the other rangers. There were a lot more visions but all of them were me. Soon, the visions went away. Felicia: Were you… following me since I rescued you from the poachers? Elgyem: -nods head yes- El Elgyem! Kevin: -laughs heavily- Seems that this Pokemon wanted to thank you. Felicia: Is that right? Elgyem: Elgy Elgyem! Felicia: Do you maybe want to stay with me? The Elgyem floated out of my hands and went over to the group of Elgyem. After a couple of seconds, the Elgyem came back over to me and waved to the others. They then floated away, presumably back to wherever they were living. I was so excited to have a new Pokemon and friend. I took out the Moon Ball I had and tapped the top of the Pokemon’s head. It went inside the ball, shook a couple of times and signaled that the capture was successful. After that, Kevin and I went back to the Ranger Base. I hugged Kevin before going back to my room and heading to bed.

What exactly do you mean mark them?

Male Elite Ranger: Damnit! They’re getting away! Female Elite Ranger: Isn’t there anyway to stop them?! The day after Galvantula and I started to bond together is when I started to go back to doing more Ranger Missions. It… wasn’t easy though. I’ll admit, I kind of messed up a couple of times but I eventually completed each mission in the end. Male Elite Ranger: I don’t have any Pokemon that can stop that vehicle! Do you?! Female Elite Ranger: I don’t either! But because of the mess ups, I was in the rankings of an Advanced Ranger for about a year. I also turned 14 in that time. Even though I didn’t meet my goal of becoming an Elite Ranger in the shortest time of any other, I was still glad I was apart of 1. Female Elite Ranger: So what the hell do we do now?! Male Elite Ranger: I don’t know! I don’t know! 1 day, Kevin came up to me and told me that I had to go on an Elite Ranked mission despite me still being in Advanced. The explanation I got when asked how that was possible was this. There were a lot of missions going on that year and almost all the Elite Rangers were out doing their own missions. This particular mission needed at least 3 rangers. It was recommended for 3 Elite rangers but there was only 2 there that day and Kevin saw something in me. So he put me in the 3 man team and our Ranger Mission started. Male Elite Ranger: Wait wait! What about that Advanced Ranger?! Female Elite Ranger: You mean the kid who was basically forced to join us?! The mission was this. A bunch of poachers were snagging some Elgyem and selling them to the market for some big bucks. It was our mission to find them, stop them and apprehend them. It took about a week for us to find them but now we were on the chase. We were in our vehicle and the poachers were in theirs. And things looked pretty bleak. But luckily, I was there to help them. Felicia: You guys need help?! Male Elite Ranger: Do you have any Pokemon that can stop their vehicle?! Felicia: I think I do! Female Elite Ranger: You think?! You either do or you don’t! Felicia: Alright alright! Come on out Galvantula! Galvantula: -pops out of its PokeBall- Galvantula! Male Elite Ranger: Uhh… isn’t that a little small for a Galvantula?! Female Elite Ranger: You sure that thing’s strong enough to stop that vehicle?! Felicia: Trust me! Galvantula’s got this! Alright! Now use Spider Web and stop that car! Galvantula did as what I had commanded it to do and shot out and very big and thick Spider Web. The web ensnared most of the back half of the vehicle and had it come to a complete halt. Our vehicle came closer and closer and soon, we were close enough to get out and apprehend the criminals. The 2 Elite Rangers seemed quite impressed with me and my Pokemon and with how I helped them with the mission. Male Elite Ranger: Hmm. Not bad kid. Female Elite Ranger: Definitely. I think we’re gonna have to have a talk with Kevin when we get back to the Ranger’s Base. Felicia: Talk with Kevin? Why? Male Elite Ranger: Well I mean me and him. You may have helped us but you’re still an Advanced Ranger. Felicia: Yea yea… If it wasn’t for me though, you might not have caught these guys. Female Elite Ranger: What’d you say?! Male Elite Ranger: -nervously chuckles- Ohh boy. Hey Felicia. Look behind you. I looked behind me and could see 1 of the Elgyem floating right in front of me. I didn’t know what it wanted. I assumed it was trying in its own way to thank me for saving it and its friends or family or whatever they were to each other. I patted the little guy on the head and got back into my vehicle with my teammates and the captured poachers. When we got back to the Ranger’s Base, the criminals were taken to PokeJail as the Male and Female Rangers went to find Kevin. I felt tired after all that. So I decided to go to my room and go to sleep. The next day, I was woken up by Kevin. Kevin: Hey. Hey Felicia. Wake up. Felicia: -groggily wakes up- Hrm? Wha… Kevin? What are you doing in here? Kevin: We’re gonna have a meeting in about an hour out on the battlefield. I need you to get up and get ready and have on your best Ranger’s uniform. Felicia: -yawns and slowly sits up in bed- What’s this meeting about? Kevin: You’ll find out. Now get ready! And with that, Kevin made his way out of my room. I rubbed my eyes, trying to rub the sleepiness out of them. I got on my feet and started to get ready for the day. I picked my favorite Rangers outfit and got ready. An hour passed and I heard a knock on my door. When it opened, I could see that it was the Male and Female Elite Rangers that I was on the mission with. Felicia: You 2? What do you’s want? Male Elite Ranger: Didn’t Kevin tell you about the meeting? Felicia: Yea. What about it though? Female Elite Ranger: Well we’re here to escort you there. Felicia: To escort me there? Uhh… Why? Male Elite Ranger: You’ll see. Come on Felicia. I didn’t understand why I needed to be escorted to this meeting. Not like it was somewhere far away. It was outside on the battlefield. A couple of minutes and I’d be there in no time, unharmed. But it was pointless to argue. If Kevin had them come to get me, then I had no other choice but to oblige. I followed the 2 outside. Almost all of the rangers were there. The Beginners, the Advanced and the Elites were all out there. Kevin was standing before them. I went to go join them but the Female Elite Ranger grabbed onto my soldiers and pointed me up towards Kevin. I guess I would be joining him for some reason. I went up to him but stayed back a little so he could do his whole speech. Kevin: Hello there rangers! It’s been a while since we all had a big meeting like this but I believe this is a special occasion. Behind me is our Advanced Ranger, Felicia! Come up here and say hi Felicia. Felicia: -walks up near Kevin- Umm… hey everyone. Kevin: Now as many of you know, for the 1st time in our Rangers history, an Advanced Ranger had to go onto an Elite Ranger Mission. With only so many Elite Rangers here, it’s what had to be done. I have received word however that not only did the mission go over well, but that the Advanced Ranger did very well. So it is with great honor that I announce that Felicia here is now apart of the Elite Rangers! Felicia: I’m… I’m what now? All of the rangers stood up and started to clap and cheer for me. I didn’t expect any of this to happen. Tears started to swell up from my eyes. Kevin put his arms around me, hugging me. The 2 Elite Rangers I had worked with put their arms on my shoulder with a smile on their faces. After that, the meeting was over and the rangers went back to whatever they were doing before. Kevin: Congrats kid. You’ve finally become an Elite Ranger. Felicia: -wiping tears away from eyes- Thanks… I can’t believe I’m an Elite Ranger. Kevin: You’ve earned it Felicia. You’ve done great work throughout the months. I know you didn’t get it in the time you did though… Felicia: It’s alright. I’m just glad I was able to get here at all. Kevin: -chuckles- That’s the right attitude to have. Ohh right! All Elite Rangers are given a cell phone. So here’s yours. -hands over a cell phone- Felicia: Ohh wow! I wondered how I would get this! Thanks Kevin! Kevin: No problem. This will help you more with missions. You can also text some friends as well with it. Felicia: This is gonna be great. Thanks again Kevin. Kevin: Mhm. Well, it’s time to get back to business. Can’t wait to see what you do being an Elite Ranger now Felicia. -walks away- I was excited on being an Elite Ranger now. I could really help people and not do the little missions I used to do. Although, those missions shaped me in into the person I became.

xD My bad.

Arbok Crest. It gets a decent buff in Attack, Defense and Speed. Also can normally/badly poison an opponent if it uses any biting moves.

I spent a couple of weeks inside of my room kind of by myself. I really only interacted with my Alolan Rattata or Galvantula or Kevin to see if I was doing ok. Seeing that young man have no remorse for taking away lives like that and I wasn’t able to stop him really messed up with my head. I was glad I was able to save Galvantula but the rest of its family… It just wasn’t right what happened to them. 1 day, Kevin came into my room and sat down at my desk. Kevin: Hey kiddo. Felicia: Hey… Kevin: How are you doing? Felicia: I’m still here so… Kevin: Well maybe this will perk you up. That young man you brought in the other day. He’s be convicted of Pokemurder and will be sentenced to at least 10 years of jail. Felicia: Good… He deserves it after what he had done. Kevin: Felicia… what happened on that day? You have not been yourself ever since you came back from that mission. You haven’t done a mission in a couple of days and that’s definitely not how you are at all. Felicia: I… He… Kevin: Yes? I brought out Galvantula’s PokeBall and stared at it. Tears started to swell up in my eyes and I started to cry again. Kevin came over to me, sat on my bed with me and gave me a hug. I couldn’t stop sobbing no matter how hard I tried. I felt so guilty for not being able to save the Joltik family and felt guilty for whatever Galvantula was going through. The 2 of us sort of got closer but because of me feeling like this, we weren’t as close as me and my Alolan Rattata. I started to slow down on my sobbing and was able to get out what Kevin needed to hear. Felicia: I-I saw him murder Galvantual’s family! Kevin: Ohh. I see. So that’s what’s gotten you like this. Felicia: I-I’m sorry. Kevin: Nonsense. Every ranger has gone through this at least once in their lives. Felicia: But… I don’t know what to do. I feel like a part of me has just vanished after that happened. Kevin: Hmm… I see. Mind if I ask you how you and your Galvantula are doing? Felicia: I-I mean I guess we’re ok. Why? Kevin: I have a feeling you 2 aren’t as close as you should be at this point. Felicia: Probably but… I failed to protect its family. Kevin: I see… I’m sorry Felicia but I have some… rather important business to attend to right now. But I’d like to ask you to come outside in a little bit so we can talk some more. Felicia: Yea… Ok Kevin. I will. Kevin: See you in a bit then. And with that, Kevin exited my room. I sat there, staring out of my window to the outside. It was a beautiful day outside but that wasn’t cheering me up at all. I decided to lay down for a bit before going outside to meet up with Kevin. As I napped, I started to have a dream. I was at the same route and the young man was there. He did the same thing, stepping onto the eggs and the Joltik parents. But this time, when Galvantula evolved and attacked him, it kept attacking until the young man wasn’t moving anymore. When I went over to see if he was ok, his body was stiff. I checked for a pulse but there wasn’t any. That’s when I awake from my dream. I shot up from bed. I had a cold sweat cold sweat coming down my head. I hated having that dream almost every time I fell asleep. I checked the clock. It had been an hour since Kevin told me to go outside. I wiped the sweat off my face and headed outside. When I got there however, I was surprised to see a battlefield of sorts near the Ranger Base. Kevin was there, waving me over. Kevin: Over here Felicia! Felicia: -walks over to him- A battlefield? Kevin: Yes. I decided the Rangers that chose a Partner Pokemon could use this as a training area. Felicia: Ohh. That’s cool I guess. Kevin: And me and you are gonna be the 1st ones to use it. Felicia: Wait. What? Kevin: Mhm. I wanna see what you and Galvantula are made of. Felicia: Umm… I don’t think now’s a good time Kev. Maybe- Kevin: Come on. It may make you feel a little bit better. Felicia: Mmm… Maybe… Fine. I guess so. Kevin: Great! Take your position. The 2 of us walked to the end of the battlefield. I grabbed Galvantula’s PokeBall and looked at it. We never had a battle together and I was worried how the 2 of us respond to 1 another. Kevin took his stance on the other side and grabbed a ball from his belt. Kevin: Alright Felicia! Give it everything you’ve got in this battle! Felicia: R-Right… Kevin: Come on out Barbaracle! Kevin threw out his PokeBall and out popped his Barbaracle. I grabbed Galvantula’s PokeBall and threw it out. Galvantula popped out and was facing the Barbaracle. I wasn’t too sure if Galvantula would be able to defeat this tough looking Pokemon. We both had weaknesses and strengths to each other’s Pokemon. Kevin’s Barbaracle Rock Type could beat my Galvantula’s Bug Type. But my Galvantula’s Electric Type could be Kevin’s Barbaracle’s Water Type. It was respectively an even match up. Kevin ordered his Pokemon to use Water Gun. The Pokemon obeyed the command and fired the attack at my Galvantula. I ordered it to dodge and it did but not fully. The attack hit 1 of its many legs, which sent it somewhat spinning through the air but it was able to land on its feet. I tried to think of what I should have my Galvantula do next. When I made my decision however, Kevin ordered his Pokemon to use Water Gun again. When the attack came, I had Galvantula jump into the air to avoid the attack. Unfortunately for me, Kevin had Barbaracle use Water Gun again and this time, it made direct contact. Galvantula came crashing down to the ground. This started to make me think again about the young man and that whole situation again. It was clear the I was shaking. Galvantula looked back to me. I could see that it seemed concerned for my well-being. I never really saw that from it. But I didn’t know what to do. Felicia: I-I… I- Kevin: Felicia! Felicia: Huh? Kevin: Do you want it to happen again?! Felicia: Have it… happen again? Kevin: If you don’t snap out of it, it will happen again! Or something worse! Felicia: You mean… what that man did? Kevin: Yes! Take that as a lesson and you may be able to prevent it next time! But you also need to know that sometimes no matter what you do, bad things will happen! But you can’t let it get you down! That’s what they want you to do! To lose yourself! Now you buck up and you and Galvantula form a bond! I can already see it has some kind of concern for how you’re acting right now! That’s the start of a bond Felicia! Felicia: Yea… Yea! Ok Galvantula! Let’s do this! Galvantula: Galvantula! Felicia: Use String Shot! Galvantula listened to me and shot out a String Shot. Barbaracle was able to avoid them though. Kevin then commanded it to use Shell Smash. It did. Now its defenses were weakened but its attack, special attack and speed were increased. He then commanded it to use Scratch. It came running towards my Pokemon in surprising speed. I commanded Galvantula to move and it somehow did, avoiding the hit. The Kevin ordered Barbaracle to use Stone Edge. The Pokemon hit the ground. It felt like the entire place was shaking. Suddenly, these huge stones shot out of the ground and landed a direct hit on Galvantula. It fell to the ground, taking serious damage. Felicia: Galvantula! Are you ok? Galvantula: Gal… Galvan…tula! -stands up- Felicia: Damnit. It’s strong. Alright. Use String Shot continuously! Galvantula did as I told it. It shot out multiple String Shots. Thanks to the Shell Smash it executed before, it was able to dodge them all. The last 1, it jumped up into the air to dodge it. Felicia: Come on Galvantula! I know you can do it! Galvantula: Galvan… Galvan… tula!!! Just then, this thick silk shot out of Galvantula’s mouth and stuck on half of the battlefield. I didn’t know what just happened but it seemed effective as Barbaracle landed back on the ground and seemed stuck on this sticky thread. Felicia: Wha… What is that? Kevin: Well I’ll be. That’s Sticky Web! Felicia: Did you learn a new move… for me Galvantula? Galvantula: -looks at me and shakes head yes- Gal! Felicia: Galvantula… Alright! Thunder Wave! Galvantula shot out these little electrical waves and hit the target. Barbaracle was now paralyzed, meaning it was slowed down. Kevin then commanded to use Scratch to destroy the Sticky Web on the ground. It did but when it got done, it yelled out in pain. Probably from the Thunder Wave attack. I then had Galvantula use Absorb. Despite Kevin ordering his Pokemon to dodge the attack, Absorb hit its mark and now Barbaracle had taken some serious damage as Galvantula had some of its health restored. Then I had Galvantula fire off a String Shot. It did and this time, it wrapped around the opposing Pokemon, completely trapping it. Kevin: Very smart Felicia! Immobilizing Barbaracle like that and regaining back some health. Felicia: That’s right! Me and Galvantula… We’re a team now! We will do anything we can to win! Galvantula: Gal Galvantula! Kevin: Well said! That’s the attitude I like to see! But here’s the thing. My Barbaracle may be paralyzed but your Galvantula can’t move all that much with it still having that String Shot in its mouth. Felicia: Ohh no… Kevin: Let’s finish this Barbaracle! Stone Edge! Felicia: Quick! Use Absorb! Galvantula used Absorb and hit its target. However, Barbaracle was able to use the move and it hit Galvantula head on. It sent the Bug Type flying up into the air and then crashing back down onto the ground. I went to see if it was ok. When I got closer, it was obvious that it had fainted. I was saddened but I was happy that we did the best we could. I looked back over to Kevin and Barbaracle. Kevin was laughing heavily. Suddenly, Barbaracle tipped over and slammed onto the ground. Kevin ran over to check on his Pokemon. It too was fainted. Kevin looked at me with a smile on his face. Kevin: Well it would see as if this battle has come to a draw. Felicia: -chuckles- I guess so. Kevin: So how are you feeling now? Felicia: I’m… still sad but I know what you were trying to do. And I thank you for that. Kevin: No problem Felicia. It’s what us Rangers do for each other. That Galvantula… Despite being just hatched a couple of weeks ago, it definitely has some power behind it. Felicia: Yea. -pets Galvantula- It really does. You did a good job Galvantula. Return and have a rest. Kevin: You too Barbaracle. The 2 of us returned our Pokemon back to their PokeBalls and we took them to the Pokemon Center of Mauville. After that, we went back to the Ranger Base. I knew that the next day, I had to get back into doing some more Ranger Missions and to strengthen my bond with Galvantula.

Wait. So could it be possible that the Pokemon didn't really devolve but they were brought to the future as the fully evolved mons were brought back to the past?

Nice job. Love how you’re basically gonna have him use his full team but with a twist. Can’t wait for the next update!

Yay! More people doing more fanfics! I should start calling mine that instead of Sorry Written Runs. XD anyways, I like what I’m reading so far. Are you gonna keep Anthony’s team a secret for now? Lol.

Thanks so much! Lol. And yea. I wanted 1 of her 3 mon team (Spoilers~) to have a somewhat dark story. Joltik/Galvantula seemed like a good option. As for why Galvantula listened to her so easily despite just being hatched, I'd also put it towards it's really young and that it also was caught by her, which means it would have to listen to her somewhat. And it should be there somewhere. I don't delete any of my stories.

I had been apart of the Rangers for about a month. I had done almost over 40 missions in that amount of time. None of my ranger companions have seen anyone do that much in that amount of time. As a beginner anyways. Although, my Alolan Rattata was a big help to me in a lot of my missions. It’s nose was really good for smelling out missing Pokemon or lost items or people. We were able to get a mission done in a day. Sometimes 2. We’ve also had been able to get in some decent training for it. It really loved the feeling of winning a battle. 1 day, my Alolan Rattata and I were hanging out in my room when we heard a knock at the door. The door swung open and it was Kevin. He had a very happy look on his face. Felicia: Hey Kevin. What brings you here? You have a big smile on your face so I’m assuming it’s something good. Kevin: How right you are Felicia. I have some good news to tell you. Felicia: Ooo! What is it? Kevin: Well I’m happy to tell you that as of today, you have officially ranked up! You are now an Advanced Ranger and can do Advanced missions now! Felicia: Are you serious?! That’s great! You hear that Rattata?! We’re Advanced Rangers now! Alolan Rattata: -jumping and running around- Ratta Rattata! Kevin: I guess you must be proud of yourself huh? Felicia: Well why wouldn’t I be? I’m an Advanced Ranger now! Kevin: You also wanted to rank up as fast as possible remember? Felicia: Huh? I mean yea but the goal is to get to Elite as fast as I can. Not Advanced. Kevin: Hmm. I suppose that is true. But if it makes you feel any better, no 1 has ever gotten to this rank in the amount of time as it took you. You’re the fastest so far. Felicia: Really? Well… I don’t know what to say. -chuckles- Kevin: So I’ve been thinking. Why not do an Advanced Mission today and see how you do in it? Felicia: Alright. Return to your PokeBall Rattata. I returned Alolan Rattata back to its PokeBall and then went out to the lobby to pick out my 1st Advanced Ranger mission. Just like when I went to choose my Beginner Mission, Kevin came along with me. I went over to the Advanced section of the bulletin board and searched for an Advanced Mission to do. None of them really caught my eye until the very bottom. The title of it caught my attention. It read “The Egg Stomper.” That was odd. Why would this be an Advanced Ranked mission? I started to read the Mission Request. “The Egg Stomper In the route near Mauville, I can always see Pokemon eggs in the grass when I take my walks. It fills me with glee that someday that egg will someday hatch and a new Pokemon will be brought into the world. But lately, I will see the eggs and they look like they’re smashed in. Now I know it sounds like a Pokemon could do this but I don’t think 1 would do this and not eat the yolk from the egg. It just sits there. Plus, I saw the person doing it once. When I saw him, his foot had already crushed in the last egg of the clan. He seems to do this to very small Pokemon. Please come meet me by the route right of the Rangers base. Reward: 1 Moon Ball, $1,000, Super Potion” I couldn’t believe what I had just read. What kind of sick person would go out into the wild and destroy Pokemon eggs for the fun of it. That didn’t sit well with me. But now that I knew the content of this mission, I was curious about something else. Felicia: This is… This is horrible. Kevin: Hmm? Let me read it. -takes the paper and begins reading it- Ohh… wow. That’s not right at all. Felicia: It really isn’t! Who would do such a thing?! Kevin: I’m not sure but it’s up to you. Depending if you choose to accept this missi- Felicia: Of course I do accept! But… why’s it in the Advanced section? Shouldn’t it be in the Elite section? Kevin: Well… The higher ups review the request and then they determine their difficulty. Unfortunately, they don’t see baby Pokemon killing such as this to be part of the Elite section… Felicia: What?! That’s insane! Why haven’t you tried to change their mind on this matter? Kevin: Trust me. I have. But they just never listen to me and keep putting stuff like these in the Advanced sections. It’s sad but for right now, there’s nothing I can do. Felicia: That’s really upsetting to hear. Kevin: I’m… sorry Felicia. Felicia: It’s ok Kevin. I’m not upset at you. You tried doing something to change that. It’s the higher ups I’m frustrated with. -sighs- I better get a move on. I’ll see you later. Kevin: Right. Good luck out there kid. I walked out the door and started to head to the route where I was supposed to meet this person. I was still thinking about the higher ups not thinking about baby Pokemon being killed as being part of an Elite mission. It didn’t sit well with me. Soon, I came to the start of the route I was supposed to meet up with the person. When the person saw the Ranger’s signature on my shirt, she ran up to me. Young Woman: Ohh! Hello! Felicia: Hello there. Young Woman: Are you the 1 that’s taken my mission? Felicia: Mhm. I read it. It’s… very disturbing. Young Woman: Trust me. It may sound disturbing but if you see it, well… anyways, I should give you a description of him. He seems to be in his late teens. He has long, brown hair. Green eyes. Kind of oily in the face if that makes any sense. I’m afraid that’s the best description I can give of him. Felicia: It’s alright. That should be enough for me to find this person and put a stop to it. Young Woman: Alright. I hope you’re able to stop him. Ohh! Before I go, I forgot to mention. I think he does this more during the early mornings. That way, not many people walking about to catch him. Felicia: Alright. Guess that means I’m camping out tonight. Take care of yourself. Young Woman: Good bye! The young woman walked off, presumably to her home. Before going back to the Ranger’s base to pack up some camping gear, I searched the route for some Pokemon Eggs. It took a bit but I was able to find some on the ground. The parents seemed to be 2 Joltik and their eggs were so tiny. I never seen such tiny Pokemon Eggs before in my life. I headed back to the Ranger’s base and into my room. I grabbed some sleeping gear, a tent and some things to make a fire. I picked a spot that was somewhat near the Joltik nesting ground but not too close. I set up my stuff and my camping ground was all set. Before too long, it was nighttime and I decided to go get some sleep. I went inside my tent, zipped it up, laid in my sleeping bag and fell asleep. In the early morning, I could hear leaves rustling about. I quickly shot up and got out of my sleeping bag. I snuck a peek out my tent and could see a young man over by where the Joltik’s nesting area was. He seemed to be looking around the area. I looked at the notes I had taken when the woman was giving me the description of the person she saw doing it. I checked, double checked and triple checked. There was no doubt about it. It was him. He was the Egg Stomper. I rushed out of the tent and announced myself. Felicia: Stop right there! Young Man: Hmm? Well would you lookie here. I got myself a Ranger. What are you doing here? Felicia: We’ve gotten reports about someone coming around these areas and stomping on Pokemon Eggs. I’m here to stop you and take you in. Young Man: Ha! You? Stopping me? Don’t make me laugh. Felicia: What are you doing this for anyways? It’s not right! Young Man: What’s the harm? They’re small Pokemon. Small Pokemon’s lives don’t matter. Felicia: Wh-What? Why don’t they? Young Man: They’re weak. Plain and simple. I like to take out the eggs and see the parents suffer. Sometimes, I even… well… Let’s just say sometimes, the parents won’t have to miss their little babies for too long. Felicia: Y-You kill the parents too!? Young Man: Ohh yes. Very much so. -looks down at the eggs- Hmm? Seems like 1 is about to hatch. I looked down at the ground where the eggs were and he was right. 1 of them was about to hatch. The 2 of us watched as the egg cracked and eventually, a little Joltik popped out of the egg. I could see a vicious smile form on the face of the Young Man. Young Man: I’ll show you exactly what I mean about small Pokemon being weak and worthless! Felicia: No don’t! Stop! I felt like an idiot. I set camp up to far away from the eggs. I could see the Joltik parents holding onto each other. His foot was getting closer and closer to them and their eggs. Tragically, his foot smashed down onto the eggs and the parents. When he raised his foot back up, I could see the eggs were smashed again and that the parents… Well, they didn’t survive. However, the 1 Joltik that did hatch had somehow been able to avoid the young man’s foot. I could see the tears swell up in its eyes, seeing its mother and father and probably brothers and sisters all be tragically murdered like that and for no reason. Before the man could do anything, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the Net Ball I had and through it at the Joltik. It hit the tiny Pokemon, went inside the ball, jiggled a few times and then the signal for the capture sounded off. I ran up to the ball and picked it up before he could try to do anything. Young Man: Ha! Oh my god! You caught the weakling of a Pokemon? How pathetic. Felicia: I can’t… You… That’s it! You’re going to the Ranger’s base and answer to your crimes! Young Man: And how exactly are you gonna do that? Felicia: I’ll… I’ll… Ugh! I know I could have used my Alolan Rattata but I didn’t think it would be able to handle this man since he didn’t seem to mind hurting Pokemon. So that was out of the question. As I had millions of ideas of what to do to apprehend this man, the Net Ball popped open and the little Joltik I just caught came out of its ball. But something seemed different about it. It had hatred in its eyes. Pure hatred. It looked straight up at the young man. Felicia: J… Joltik? Young Man: -laughs loudly- And what exactly are you gonna do? You little joke! Joltik: Jol Joltik… Joltik! JOLTIK JOLTIK! -starts to glow- Young Man: The hell’s it doing now? Felicia: Evolving…? B-But it just hatched. How can it be evolving already!? Never in my life had I seen a Pokemon just hatched starting to evolve but it was true. This little baby Joltik was evolving into a Galvantula. I couldn’t believe what was happening before me. In a matter of seconds, Joltik had evolved into Galvantula. But it seemed a bit smaller than usual to me. I assumed it was because it had just hatched from the egg that it affected its size. The Galvantula looked up at the Young Man who was still laughing at it. Then, the Galvantula shot out a String Shot and wrapped the man up. He wasn’t laughing anymore. Young Man: H-Hey! You stupid bug! Let me go! Galvantula: Galvantula Gal! Young Man: You’ll see you stupid bug! When I get free, I’m gonna stomp you extra hard! Felicia: Are you kidding me?! Stop! You’re beaten! Give up already! Galvantula: Gal Galvantula! Young Man: Ung! Ugh! Wh-What are… you… Agh! Felicia: Huh? What’s happening? I carefully walked over and touched the silky string that was still connected to Galvenatula and the man. I could feel an electric current going through it. It was Galvantula using Thunder Wave to paralyze the man. But it wasn’t stopping. I knew that if it kept doing that, the man would eventually go into shock and die. I had to stop it. Felicia: Galvantula! You have to stop this! Galvantula: Gal Gal Galvantula! Felicia: I know what he’s done is horrible! He took your family away from you! And trust me, I would let you keep going until this sick individual got what was coming to him… But then you’d be no better than him! Galvantula: Gal… Galvantula? Felicia: So please Galvantula… Stop. I promise he’ll get what’s coming to him but not this. I slowly walked up to Galvantula and slowly petted its back. Tears started to swell up in its eyes. It finally bit off its end of the String Shot and began to cry. I hugged the little bug Pokemon to try to comfort it as best as I could. Young Man: Hey! You gonna let me out of here anytime soon?! Tch. Dumbasses. Felicia: …Galvantula, String Shot his mouth shut. Galvantula: -shakes head yes- Galvantula! A little bit of String Shot came out of its mouth and locked the mans mouth together, making it almost impossible for him to open up his mouth and make noise to interrupt this moment. After a couple of minutes, I returned Galvantula back to its PokeBall and took the man back to the Ranger’s Base. When I got back, Kevin was out front. Kevin: Felicia! You’re back! And with… the culprit I take it? Felicia: Yes… Kevin, I think I might need a little time off. Kevin: Time off? From the Rangers? Felicia: Yea… I just need… time… Kevin: Are you ok? Felicia: Not really… I know you’ll wanna know what happened and all but I just can’t talk about it right now. Kevin: Yea… Yea ok kid. No problem. Well bud, looks like you’ll be going to our holding cell. The man tried to say something but was unable to thanks to the String Shot that was still taped to his mouth. Before going to my room, I decided to get my reward from the woman at the desk. I was handed the Moon Ball, Super Potion and the money. Then, I went into my room and just laid in my bed. Everything that just occurred was not really going well with my in my head. It would be a while before I started doing more Ranger Missions.
