So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart Word Count - 272 | @tag | NOTES - Woo Starter
Zephyr hesitated, taking a deep breath of anticipation. He was on his own. He was travelling. He was a trainer! And he was about to get his first pokemon! His expression was all grins and teeth, how long had he breathlessly awaited this day? How long had he dreamed to be like so many others he always heard about, travelling and journeying, having glorious grand adventures with pokemon, battling, exploring, collecting gym badges and defeating champions in epic clashes? And today! Today was his day to begin his own journey, find his own path, carve his own tale out! Would he be legendary one day? He could see it so easily in his mind's eye, at the end of the Elite Four, and the Champion giving praise to him and passing on the honorary title. His team beside him, all fearsome evolved beasts of awesome power, his friends and loyal companions.
Was today where it all began? The humble start to an epic adventure? Zephyr could hope, could dream, could anticipate, his hands shaking, a ruffled head of tussled dark hair nearly hiding glittering sapphire eyes, eager and bright with excitement. He was ready. He had been ready for years. A rap upon the door the Main Outpost of the Rangers, then a moment later, unable to contain himself, Zephyr burst through, the boy grinning under his messy head of wild hair. "I'm here!" He cried cheerfully. "I'm here, you guys can help me catch my first pokémon right? I'm ready!" He could hardly contain himself in fact, he was so very very much more then a mere meager 'ready' could describe.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE Beyond a shadow of a doubt it always made Kieron more nervous to give starter Pokemon to children. Especially the way they did it. They were better off going to a safe environment like the lab for their first Pokemon. Especially since they weren't really experienced with handling Pokemon in most cases. But he couldn't exactly turn them away without proper cause either. Rangers were here to protect and help and part of that help was making sure that others had Pokemon partners that they could and would work with. At least kids generally tended to be less picky about the entire thing. Even if it was harder to make sure that they didn't end up walking off into the biome and getting hurt. Another thing that Kieron couldn't understand was the unabashed excitement that they got. Had he been that excited whenever he had gotten Yvette? Probably not considering he had already been a jaded adult. But that was a story for another time. The Gloom grabbed one of the clipboards and Kieron grabbed some extra protection considering that they were taking a child out there. A safety vest for the kid to wear just in case something happened. There was no telling which biome they would end up landing in so it was important to cover all of the bases. "Welcome to the ranger station. Fill out your paperwork that Yvette is handing you and then put on this safety vest." That would cover that part. "You're gonna be catching a Pokemon on your own out there but Yvette and I will be close by to make sure nothing happens. If things turn nasty we'll be stepping in to take care of it." It hadn't happened in awhile. They'd had a pretty good streak with Pokemon and human getting along. But who knew what could happen on a new day. "This is going to be more dangerous than getting a Pokemon from the lab. Make sure you don't wander off and keep your vest on."

Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters Word Count - 708 | @tag | NOTES - I'm sure he'll be fine...
Zephyr was, alas, a stranger to the unease of the ranger in question who approached him as he entered, his grin spreading as he tilted his head slightly up to watch them. Something was a little off, perhaps, he could tell, in the flicker of their gaze, but he passed it off quickly. He usually did, adults always seemed to act different around kids then anyone else, some got overly affectionate, others uncomfortable and unnecessarily wierd. Some just ignored them even if they didn't do anything wrong. Maybe it was some weird one-sided effect he would understand when he was older, certainly he had never felt the urge to act different just because someone was older. Or maybe that's just how this guy was and it had nothing to do with him, who knew? It hardly mattered anyways, he was here and they were still coming over to help him.
Once or twice before Zephyr had heard about the ranger process kinda, enough to know that was the way he wanted his first pokemon. He didn't really know how it worked precisely or what was going to happen, he just knew they took you out and you got to get your first pokemon yourself; like how a real trainer would catch pokemon! Authentic, not just some pick me up from the lab and I'll be your buddy but something you went out and got! Maybe it didn't really matter much either way in the end, it felt like it mattered and meant something to him though.
Waving cheerily the ranger and their companion as the man welcomed him, Zephyr chirped back a bright and giddy "Hai!" He blinked at first at the papers, flashing a grin at the pokémon holding it, before clumsily accepting the clipboard. Paperwork huh? Well, the ranger-man did say to do it, so... Sliding the pen free, he nodded. "Okay." Safety vests too? Was it dangerous what they were gonna do then? So exciting! Squinting at the papers, he made sure to be super extra careful looking through them, he didn't want to mess this up and not be able to go out and get a pokémon because he didn't read through everything right! A couple of the words were a little odd, he mouthed them out silently and said them in his head before he was able to recognize them, but most of it was like, kinda what he expected and had seen varients of before in clinics and stuff where they just wanted basic information and to make sure he like, realized, understood, and was fine with the process about to happen and all the liabilities involved. Liabilities. Such a fancy word, why did people always need fancy words anyways, just to make it sound more important and official? Was there like, a thesaurus of what to use to make things sound more important? Perhaps one day he would know.
Penning in where he was supposed to the things the papers wanted him to, Zephyr handed the clipboard back to Yvette with the pen attached again, or the man if he wanted it instead, slipping into the vest and fumbling trying to clip it on shut properly. "Yvette. That's a nice name! Nice to meet you Yvette!" Sapphire eyes turning back up to the man, Zephyr felt his eyes widen slightly, his smile abating a bit as the ranger started getting extra serious. If things turn nasty? Oh wow. But they'd be right there the man said, so he didn't actually have anything to worry about right? He nodded again, a bob of his head that sent ruffled hair everywhere. "Okay mister, I trust you, you're a ranger!" Rangers were the best, he wondered if one day he could be one as well, defending people and pokemon and going on dangerous missions all across the region! That would be cool too!
Then came even more warnings, and Zephyr was nodding again, his expression taking up what was possibly him trying to act sage and serious and ending up a little like he was pretending to be a soldier. "No worries mister, I will!" As if to emphasize his vow and statement, Zephyr patted his vest, a grin leaking from his strict features.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE At least Yvette seemed pleased by the fact that the boy was excited. It was nice to know that the youth were excited to set out on a journey to find their place in the world. Kieron had traveled himself and it had made him a better person for it. If only everyone could be so lucky. The world would be a much better place. < It's nice to meet you! > Even if this would probably be the only time she ever met this particular boy it wasn't nice to not make pleasantries. Once the boy had finished the paperwork it was up to her to take it, setting it on the coffee table for Kieron to file away later. it was important to keep everything nice and organized for the other people who worked there too. Now it was time for the elevator ride to the biomes. As much as it probably would make someone else feel all warm and fuzzy inside to hear that someone trusted them Kieron knew that the kid would say that to any ranger. He wasn't doing anything special, just helping him get on his way as a trainer. Pressing a couple buttons he called the elevator. Stepping inside once it got there. "Get in. We're going to a biome." That was where the Pokemon were at after all.tags x Saint Judas MADE BY ★MEULK |

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way Word Count - 263 | @tag | NOTES - So glum Kieron :3
Zephyr flashed a grin to Yvette as she responded to him, color touching tanned cheeks gleefully. Boy she seemed nice, he wondered what his pokémon would be like when he got it. He wondered what he would get, what kinda creature they'd find out there! There were lots of pokémon, tons, it could be anything! Maybe he would even get like, a dragon, or a ghost! That would be awesome! But, not likely he realized, they probably have simpler smaller stuff for new trainers like him, not all the rare cool things. But even like, a purrloin would be awesome, he didn't have anything right now so whatever he got was gonna be great!
Well, as long as it wasn't a grimer anyways, those things were gross and stank so much... Sticking near the man's side as they found an elevator and called it, Zephyr didn't hesitate to follow their instructions to get in, leaning against one of the walls as it started moving. He liked the feeling of elevators, it was just a small thing really, but the way gravity and the movement made you feel all funny inside always entranced him! Blinking at the word 'biomes,' blue eyes widened slightly. "Cool" he murmured, his voice soft in awe. They had those? Rangers had everything, that was so awesome! And he'd get to see them too, and catch a pokémon inside one! Definitely made the right decision! There was no doubt in Zephyr's mind, only anticipation and excitement to see one of the biomes! You know, by the ranger's side of course.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE Once they were all comfortable inside the elevator door closed and shook to life. Carrying them towards whichever biome would hold this kid's future partner. All Kieron could really say was that he hoped the place would give him something sort of easy to handle. After all it was difficult for an adult to deal with some of the larger Pokemon in the fields, much less some kid that was a bit too big for his britches. Pulling down an empty Pokeball he held it out for him. "This will be the Pokeball your Pokemon is caught with. You know how to use it right? Most of the Pokemon here won't be caught just by tossing the Pokeball though." Since battling tended to be out of the question people opted to talk to the Pokemon or help them with some sort of task. He was worried that some of the wilder Pokemon would give the kid a run for his money. If there was any time for it to be kind then it would be now.
As they stopped Kieron held his breath, waiting to see what they would open up to. The door opened and it was a simple pond. Nothing any different than you might see on one of the routes. Splashing at the edge of it was what seemed to be one of the more docile Pokemon he had seen lately. A Poliwag. It wasn't too big and they generally weren't aggressive. It was a good Pokemon for a kid to start with.

All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters Word Count - 727 | 🌺 inari 🌺 | NOTES - ohhhh poliwag, Is perfect for him Ja 💙
Zephyr felt the shaking of the elevator as it started up and began moving, his weight shifting and momentum tugging at his body oddly as it pulled at thing in a way different from normal gravity, the boy's grin a testament to his over flowing excitement and the giddiness the odd feeling gave him. He wasn't sure what to expect out of these biomes, but whatever it was it had to be pretty sweet looking, having their own little set up habitats and wild pokémon roaming around within? He wondered what sort of biome this elevator was going to now, would they end up on a cliff side full of lean deadly flying types? A burning desert with fire types and the odd scattering of grass and poison? A thick lush jungle full of bug types and water types and grass types? So many different kinds of landscapes he could imagine, did all of them exist here? How many biomes were there? Did they have every kind of pokémon out there, really? All these questions bubbled in his head, on the verge of being words though he didn't really bother, the man seemed kinda boring and grim-faced. Adults like that usually either ignored his questions or got annoyed when he asked them, they certainly were no fun or help.
Suddenly a pokeball was being offered to Zephyr, and, fumbling slightly as he grabbed at the ball—blue eyes large under stray strands of dark hair—he stared at it several moments. Every moment it seemed to get more and more real, now he had the pokéball he was going to catch and hold his starter in. His very own pokemon.... A shaky breath escaped him, nervousness tinging his thoughts for a moment, though it was nowhere close to the amount of anticipation and eagerness bubbling inside as he waited with bated breath for the elevator to stop and the doors to slide open. Nodding his head vigorously at the ranger's question, he was fast to pipe back with a reply. "Yep! You hit a pokémon with it an' it'll pull them inside. Cept' if they struggle they might come out again." Blinking at the second half of information told him, Zephyr continued nodding, though his movements slowed, turning more serious. "O-okay." So he had to catch them another way then? Alright.... Yeah. He could like, befriend one though couldn't he? Worth trying, afterall this was gonna be his partner so they had to get along anyways!
The elevator stopped, and for a moment Zephyr held his breath. It opened, the doors sliding back to reveal a little pond. So it wasn't as exciting or dramatic as many of the things he had imagined, but he was far from dissapointed. Oh no, not at all. Because with a gasp, his blue eyes spotted the pokémon that splashed in the water at it's edge, a rounded blue creature with a big swirly black and white belly, huge eyes, and a white flappy little tail it splashed and waved around in the water.
As far as Zephyr was concerned though, it was one of the coolest things he had ever seen. That was the pokémon he got to catch? "Woooaaahhh" Way better then what he could have imagined. So it wasn't a dragln or a ghost or anything really amazing, but it was his first pokémon! Really and truly, there it was, just waiting for him to catch it! For a moment he was paralyzed in place, his mouth open in awe as he stared. The next he was gone with a brief glance back at the ranger, the biggest grin he had ever grinned plastered across his face as he raced to the pond, skidding to avoid plummeting into the water as he stopped by the edge where the poliwag was, staring at it with wide blue eyes. "Hey! Wow, your so cool! I like your tail and your belly markings! Ooh your a water type right?" Was this really all happening? Man, this pokémon looked so awesome, and it was really here in front of him and he was talking to it? Unabashed wonder glittered in sapphire hues, a grin stretching nearly ear to ear as his face muscles ached, awe overtaking him as he gushed to the pokémon in the pond—the pokéball for the moment forgotten in his hand.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE Poliwag was surprised when someone was actually excited to see him. Somehow his already wide eyes managed to get even wider whenever the boy approached him. It was a human! Approaching him! How amazing! How could this possibly get any better? Already his day was a million times better than it had already been. And that was counting the fact that he was pretty sure that he had made the biggest splash of his entire life in the pond today. Would wonders never cease? < You're a real honest to Arceus human! Here? > Whatever could he actually be there for? Was it... Was this guy... A ranger? Was he here for a super secret mission? Oh that would be super cool! He knew a couple rangers that took care of the biomes that they lived in. But they hadn't really done anything much more than basic interactions. And this human seemed brand new to the area. His bright and shiny vest probably meant he was a very important human! After all the other ranger wasn't wearing one. < So what are you doing here? Is it top secret ranger business? Are you gonna hunt down bad guys? > It was so exciting!

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new Word Count - 605 | 🌺 inari 🌺 | NOTES - omfg these two
Zephyr could hardly contain his excitement as the pokémon also seemed to notice him, it's own eyes widening and a baffled surprised seeming question leaving it. Bursting out laughing, the boy grinned as he nodded his head, wheezing between chuckles. "Yep! 100% made of man, in the flesh and skin!" What else could he be afterall if not a human? It seemed kinda funny that they should have to ask that, he certainly wasn't a pokémon, though sometimes he admittedly dreamed of being one. Man, that would be sweet, but he was just a lame human. Maybe the pokémon had never seen humans before? But then didn't the rangers come here if these biomes were in their base? Oh! Maybe the pokémon thought he might have been like, a ditto or a zorua, did those things tend to show up here? Well he wasn't one of those he was pretty sure, and if he was he certainly wasn't aware of it, though it would be cool if he actually was! "Not a ditto or a zorua, not that I know anyways, just a boy! You look like a cool pokémon, what are you?" Maybe he was a zoroark or a ditto though, how would he know? Had he ever tried to see if he wasn't? Maybe sometime he should, what if he had just been convinced he was a human and forgot he wasn't? What if they were one too? That would be wiiiierd but so cool.
Up close the spiral pattern on the pokémon's belly was mesmorizing, and Zephyr found his sapphire eyes subconciously drifting towards it and trying to follow the line around and around it's dizzying trail. Why was it's belly marked like that anyways, that was such a strange mesmorizing pattern, did it use it's markings to like, hypnotize people? Because looking at it was realky trippy. He thought he could actually see the spiral twisting around and spinning before his eyes as he shook his head slightly, disoriented now as the pokémon chimed up with even more questions for the boy.
Blinking uncertainly under his messy mop of dark hair, Zephyr considered the questions, his expression twisting up in deep, overly-concentrated, thoughtfulness as he stuck the tip of his tongue out. Was what he was doing top-secret? He didn't think so, I mean, there was only him and the other ranger guy here and no one else, but people did this stuff all the time right? So, no. Were there any bad guys? He didn't think he was going to hunt down any, but if there were he'd totally be down for trying to hunt them down! Shaking his head, he perked up again, chirping out a reply cheerily. "Nah, I don't think it's too secret ranger stuff, at least no one told me anything about it being secret, though maybe they only did that so I wouldn't suspect it was really top secret and give it away! But, as far as I know I'm just here to get a starter. I dunno if there are gonna be any bad guys, but that would be like, so cool if there were because then we could have an epic journey chasing them down, and catching them, and becoming the heroes! But even if there aren't any bad guys, I know at least there's a pokémon adventure, and a ton of wild Pokémon, and travelling across the region, and a whole ton of really tough people to beat and get badges from!" Zephyr grinned again as he finished, his young high voice brimming with excitement and eagerness, boy he could hardly wait.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE It had to be the most special mission ever if this guy was pretending he didn't know anything about it! Maybe, just maybe, he was here to get Poliwag's help with it! Man he could just see it now. Super awesome cool Ranger Poliwag. He would love it! He would totally be the best ranger's partner ever. < I'm a Poliwag and I'm super excited to meet you! > He was a young Pokemon so of course he was excited. Tail slapped down hard on the water and splashed some of it up. He just couldn't help it. Quietly he tried to bring his voice down to a whisper. < It's okay, I know you're here on a super secret mission. You don't have to pretend. > Unless it was unsafe to pretend otherwise... And maybe the bad guys were listening even now! Maybe getting a starter was the super secret mission he was carrying out? He had to be extra special if they were going through all of that extra stuff in order to do it. < Can I help you? I bet I can find a starter super quick if you let me help! > Especially if it was in the pond. He was super good at holding his breath!

Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters Word Count - 503 | 🌺 inari 🌺 | NOTES - I see no problems with this pair. Nope.
Zephyr's grin stretched even wider—boy his jaw kinda hurt—as the poliwag introduced itself. "Poliwag? Woah, that sounds cool, my name is Zephyr, that's what everybody calls me by, and I'm super excited to meet you too!" He'd been excited to meet the poliwag actually long before the actual physical meeting, but if anything he was only more excited now that he actually had and was here, actually talking with the pokémon! A laugh left the boys lips as the pokémon splashed it's tail in the water, a bit of the spray patterning his pants with water. "Hahah, man, you're almost more excited then I am!" Oooh, maybe one day one of the routes will have like, a pond or something and he could go swimming with his new friend and play in the water with them! They probably were a great swimmer, they were a water type afterall right? He wondered how big a splash they could make, and how fast the could swim, and how long they could hold their breath underwater, and if maybe one day he could surf around with them on the water! That would be awesome!
Then the poliwag was whispering almost conspiritally, and Zephyr leaned in closer to hear, sapphire eyes starting to widen again, the glitter with excitement and ideas as he whispered back in hushed excitement. "I am? Cool!" Maybe he was on a super secret ranger mission then and just didn't know it. Maybe that's why he had to fill out all those papers and get escorted by the grumpy older ranger man down into these super cool biomes! Maybe getting a starter here was actually like, some sort of ranger test or start to a ranger quest? Or maybe the starters were a coverup to make it seem less suspicious or to screen what the actual purpose of them wanting people to come to the ranger waypoint was!
Then the poliwag was offering to help him find a starter, and Zephyr nearly doubled over laughing. The poliwag was his starter! And he kinda liked it, he didn't really want to find another. Besides, ranger guy might get grouchy if he tried to. No, wheezing as he tried to catch his breath again, no he was gonna stick with this one. He had to catch it still though didn't he? "Thanks for the offer Mr. Poliwag, but I think I like the one I found already! But if you want to help, I still need someone to go on a journey with me! That's why I needed my starter afterall, to help me battle pokémon and beat all the gym leaders! You want to come? I bet you'd be the greatest team mate ever, and we can adventure through the whole region defeating bad guys when we see them and becoming the champions! Plus I bet you make an awesome swimming buddy, I love swimming!" Flashing a bright smile, Zephyr offered the pokéball in his hand out alongside his invitation, his eyes sparkling excitedly.

IN MY HEART DRIP DROP YOU FALL ONE BY ONE It almost blew his mind to think that he might have been what this ranger in the making was looking for. After all, he was nothing but a Poliwag! But if the human really thought that he was going to be able to help him win then who was he to argue against him. After all he had the super special vest and everything! < I want to help you fight bad guys and win in all the gym battles! > He wasn't sure what a gym battle even was but he was sure that with a human partner he would be able to do it. But with so much excitement he slapped his tail against the Pokeball to get sucked inside willingly.
male - o5 - poliwag water absorb water sport - water gun
An easily excited Pokemon Poliwag is young and full of energy. He idolizes the rangers to an almost unhealthy degree and has always wanted to be one of the Pokemon that gets to help them out. Convinced that he and Judas will single handedly stop every single bad guy in the region he has a strong sense of justice and what he thinks is right or wrong. He'll be the first one to jump into helping someone and the first to call out if he thinks that someone is getting cheated or hurt.

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know Word Count - 200 | 🌺 inari 🌺 | NOTES - Woooo!
Zephyr was unable to contain himself from letting out a childish whoop of glee when the poliwag agreed enthusiastically to join him. "Aww yeah! We're gonna do great!" Grinning toothily, he could already picture him and his poliwag on a pokémon adventure, out battling and catching wild pokémon, getting all the badges, becoming champions! He wondered idly what the poliwag evolved into anyways. Oh, did he have to name it as well? He should come up with a name... Maybe something like, Poly. Nah, too dumb. Oh! What about Spiral cuz of their spiral belly? Spiral was a cool name! Then the poliwag was gone before he could share his name for it, it's tail slapping the pokéball as the device sucked it inside. Zephyr jumped in the air, a victorious fist pump mixing with a laugh as he whirled around to find the ranger. "Hey, Mr. Ranger, look! Look I did it, isn't he awesome, I got myself a starter! Thanks!" Man, he was a real trainer now! Eagerly bouncing back to the elevator and stripping his vest, Zephyr was all too eager to get back to the main floor and be flown to Cassiopeia to start his journey!
