Yes, as many note, my grammar sucks. also, a vacation issue came up...so that's taking up time. Honestly, no one tells me anything. I don't know that the last days are spent seeing other areas. The possibility of me not being able to update is possible...well your find out tomorrow.
It was certainly an interesting day, my father went to the hospital, the locals can't understand my accent, I had waffles for breakfeast...
They may be Republicans, but the Southerns know how to make waffles. That's a sign of intelligence, at least.
Recap
"Crooks use Swagger!" Meowth glowed red as did the Krookodile and Sandile, as they began to move dizzily, smashing into each other.
However, while the Krookidile kept harming itself, sandile broke free of the confusion and lunged at Crooks with a bite attack
"Attract!" Crooks formed a heart and fired it at Sandile...who was unaffected as the bite got so close...
"PROTECT!" using his new Tm taught move, Crooks protected itself from the bite attack via a glowing blue energy sphere around itself,
"return!" he returned Crooks as he called Star out, the Ledian unleashing a supersonic quickly, confusing the Sandile again as he began to hit himself.
"Go, Pokeball!" he launched and caught the Croc in the ball, taking his sixth Pokemon just as Krookodile broke out of confusion and charged with a stronger bite attack...Crunch.
"Use Protect as well Star!" Star formed the same sort of shield, blocking the powerful crunch attack from damaging Star.
"Pokeball GO!" Firing another, the Krookodile was caught, and the ball vanished as it teleported back home.
"BAAA!" Mareep was still trapped by the sand, and loosing health quickly, so he caught her as well, sending Leah her first electric type.
"Okay...Crikey, Crock and Baa" he mused as they were named, but he was a tad worried about the new invasive species...and their odd habitat.
He returned Star and called back out Crooks.
"Am I becoming more of a capture specialist than a Pokeathalon specialist Crooks?" he had to ask, but before he could continue to debate this, he heard a loud scruffling up ahead.
"I wish I had more Pokeballs" he mused.
end recap
The Ranger Base
Located to the north of Valley Town, the Ranger's base was a high tech area, a recently constructed shiny metal building crawling with eager rangers hunting down all the class 4 and class 5 Pokemon, or the invasive species.
The reason it was here...because the chain of command believed that they were escaping the Safari Zone, which was the next town above. But, because the owners of the zone were higher ups in the cities government, they had trouble operating there.
There was bad blood between them...
It also helped that the base was on the sea coast, allowing for ships loaded with captured Pokemon to be sent back to their native habitats.
The reason that Palmer was here was on his sister's recommendation from seeing Crickey and Croc, and thus two new invasive species they had to prepare for.
The ranger who greeted him, a young, dark haired man named Roku, grimaced as he began to file the report.
"Sandile and Krokorok...we'll be lucky to have an ecosystem left if we keep getting new invaders" he muttered, noting that Palmer had Croc on hand to show that he wasn't just doing it to mess with them...
They had that problem before...said funny guys went to jail for it but it was just too annoying to deal with.
"Well then...now that the report is filed...I do believe your entitled to the Trainer's Choice"
Palmer hadn't come here for that, but he was aware of what it was. Trainers were encouraged to come and take one of the to be deported Pokemon with them as a member of their team.
They changed daily because that was how often one of the Rangers transports came by to ship Pokemon home.
How sad was it they were always in moderate stock, at the worst, with invasive Pokemon.
It was their way of trying to give them a second chance before they got sent back to Sinnoh or Unova, the decision from some of the more worried about the morals of the Rangers being damaged by this deportation.
Palmer sighed, he was not going to like what he saw...but saving one of the Pokemon would be the right thing to do.
"Sure" with a nod, the ranger led him into the back of the base, to a row of cages.
Now, these cages were not in any way barbaric. They had blankets, cushions and plenty of food and water. It was more a kennel than a prison, but it still bothered the Rangers and their visitors; but trying to put up a fenced in area, and just using the capture stylers to keep them from running off failed.
The strong steel would have to do.
There were several Pokemon here though...
A yellow and orange Mothim

1,4,2,3,2
The choice would have been easier if there had been an electric type here...he'd have picked one at once
But what to choose...with them all looking at him with desperate hope.
Now then, what Pokemon should Palmer choose? A review can decide it people...or I will have to if no one says anything. The Pokeathalon is upon him, and its time for Palmer to choose his partners for it. He needs as many as possible to have a hope of beating his brother.
While it is true he can catch Pokemon in the Safari Zone, you guys might be hearing its rep. Palmer wants to have as little to do with it as possible.
