"There's been sightings of the legendary Articuno flying around Almia and causing unusual snowstorms. You know what Articuno looks like, correct?"
"Correct."
"Well, since Chairperson Erma trusts your ability to confront Pokemon. She wants you to try and sway Articuno back to Kanto."
Eleanor had a glint of mischief in her eyes. "Will do. Off to the sight right now." Eleanor ran outside, looking for a flying Pokemon. She spotted a Staraptor. She was about to use her Capture Styler, when a harsh, cold breeze came into the area. She saw Articuno flying around.
"Looks like we'll be getting a different Flying-type," she said with a smirk. "C'mon, Spoink!" Eleanor readied herself.
"Capture on!" she exclaimed. The Capture Disc flew out. Eleanor skillfully guided it and wrapped it around Articuno. Finally, the Disc came back down along with Articuno.
Eleanor petted Articuno. The feathers were extremely soft on the bottom and more firm on top. Each one had a bone-chilling touch. Eleanor shivered as she pet Articuno. She walked around, inspecting.
"A female Articuno," she chuckled. "And we've been referring them as 'genderless'." Eleanor almost broke out into laughter.
"It'll all be okay, Articuno," Eleanor said soothingly. Articuno seemed rather spooked. "I'm gonna take you home."
With much more intent, Eleanor and Spoink hopped onto Articuno's back. "Fly," she commanded. Articuno took off.
Eleanor gazed around when they were high in the air.
"Where to... where to..." Suddenly, an idea popped in her head. "Head for Sinnoh!" Eleanor said. Confused, Articuno flapped her wings anyway, flying quickly to the Sinnoh region.
Eleanor gently maneuvered Articuno onto the top of Mt. Coronet. When they landed, Eleanor and Spoink jumped down.
"It's time, Spoink," Eleanor said. She unbuttoned pockets on her Ranger vest, taking out many objects. It looked like parts of a syringe and a long pistol. She put the strange device together. Articuno started to tremble.
"Is your plan going to work?" Spoink asked.
"Spoink, what was my plan?"
"To get Articuno to Mt. Coronet and extract her URA."
"And what am I doing now?"
Spoink thought. "Go, Eleanor!" she cheered. She hopped right next to Eleanor's foot.
Articuno tried to fly, but Spoink stopped her with a Psybeam attack, followed by a strong Psychic that inflicted a lot of pain on Articuno. Eleanor stepped forward.
"It's okay," she soothed Articuno. "I'll make sure this is beneficial to you. And the two others in your trio."
Eleanor extended the needle and pushed it inside of Articuno's side. She then jammed it deeper until it hit a very thick vein. Spoink was keeping Articuno quiet as Eleanor extracted Articuno's URA. She slid the needle out slowly. When it was all the way out, Articuno screeched in fury and pain. Eleanor flinched. She looked down at the syringe, which was filled with an icy-blue liquid. She sanitized it quickly with a wipe and sanitized an area of her arm and twisted a small knob on the syringe gun. She stuck the needle into her own vein and released about 1/4 of the URA into herself.
There was a chilling sensation throughout Eleanor's body. She crouched and fell on her knees, dropping her syringe gun and holding her torso in pain. She was unbearably cold. Soon, she warmed up a bit and felt a sense of power. Eleanor stood up and looked at her hands, which were glowing with an icy-like aura. She looked up at Articuno. Articuno was gazing at Eleanor with loyalty and undivided attention.
Eleanor swished her hand around, making small puffs of snowflakes and cold wind.
"Forgive me," Eleanor said to Spoink, smacking her. Spoink became frozen.
Highly interested, Eleanor wanted to know more, but the effects wore of and Articuno started to rage. Eleanor picked up frozen Spoink and ran down Mt. Coronet. She jumped from ledge to ledge, rock to rock, sliding down rough patches from time to time. Bleeding with scrapes, she ran for the nearest town.
It was fun being a Pokemon Ranger, Eleanor thought sadly, almost regretting her decision. But this is for the legendary Pokemon. The ones that are in the most danger.
