"Your desire to help people in need… You the qualifications to be a Pokemon Ranger."

Invitation

Your strong motivation to become a Pokemon Ranger…

How you live in harmony with Pokemon and strive to protect nature every day…

How you selflessly go to the help of those in need

How you've trained and built your body to become a Ranger…

All this I've come to understand and appreciate all the seven letters you've sent me

I would like to meet you.

I want to see for myself if you are truly worthy of becoming a Ranger.

I will be waiting for you in Fall City harbour next Sunday.

You'll find an enclosed ticket to Fall City and an official Pokemon Ranger uniform.

Wear it and wait for me.

With the uniform on, I won't have trouble finding you.

I look forward to seeing you.

Best regards

Spenser

Leader of Ringtown Ranger Base

A young girl, wearing a headband with two tufts of teal-blue hair and one large tuft, pointing to the sky, near the back of her head, let out a whoop of happiness and triumph.

She ran into her quaint, little house in Littleroot Town, in the water-based Hoenn region. "Mom, mom!" said the girl. "Yes, dear." said the girl's mother. "Starting next Sunday, I could become a Pokemon Ranger! "Oh, that's wonderful! You'd better be readying yourself," replied the girl's mother.

The days past quickly and the girl grew more and more anxious. In the darkness of true dawn, she fidgeted and fussed with her new Ranger uniform. She kept fidgeting her red jacket, covering her white shirt, pulled up her large socks, adjusted her headband and fussed with her black shorts.

"Dear... Why are you up so early...*Yawns* Oh... You've got your uniform... You look great..." her

mother sleepily answered. "Are you sure they won't laugh at me?" "Of course not. Now go off to the real world..." Her mother slumped over onto the sofa (sleepily).

The girl became more and more anxious and paced around her house and around the small town. She looked at her Poketch and it read 3:30. "Hmm, it's time." She examined the enclosed ticket. "Free ticket to Fall City from Slateport City. Arrival Time: 5:00. Departure Time: 6:30. Class: First Class."

She walked over to her house to say her goodbyes to her family. It was a strange walk, as if she were emerging from a shell of nurturing, a shell in which today she would leave. "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving." "Good-bye, dear! Make us proud!" "I will!"

The transport Pelliper arrived and she took the bag attached to the bird. "If you are reading this, then I welcome you to the Pelliper Travel Service! This Pelliper will take you to Slateport City! Get ready for the ride!" The girl looked into her home that would no longer be, when she left. "Bye!" She waved her hands wildly and her parents did so as well. She turned her head from the past and to the future.

The Pelliper flew gracefully in the sky, and the girl saw many flying Pokemon, soaring through the skies. She felt energised and and felt the freedom of flying through the air. Her wonderful journey in the sky came to an end when she saw the faint outline that became a bustling sea port.

The Pelliper flew into a large building, in the shape of a Pelliper, strangely with a large hole on top. She realized why. The bird flew down to the building and onto a perch. A young man came to greet her. "Hello and thank you for using the Pelliper Travel Service. That'll be 10 PokeDollars, please. "Here you go." "Thank you again. Now the exit is over there." He pointed to an open door. "Thank you." The girl studied her surroundings. The building was clean and tiled on the floor, away from the Pelliper perches. She walked through the large, wooden doors and saw a beautiful and bustling sea port.

It was full of life, the noisiness of the markets, the Pokemon walking beside their Trainers and the boats honking their horns. She took in in and smelled the salty sea breeze and the liveliness of the port.

Her daydreaming was interrupted when a old man, wearing a sailor's uniform, approached the girl. "... Huh? Oh, sorry for blocking the road." "You seem to be carrying the ferry ticket to Fall City, young lady..." said the man in a raspy and old voice. "Yes," she said timidly."I'm the ferry captain." "Oh, hello then. Well, I'd better be boarding."she said briskly. "It's over there. The ferry sign is next to the pier." "Thank you." she said. "Well, I'd best be going now." croaked the ferry captain. "You can take your time."

The girl walked over to the sign and saw the busy markets as well as the vast Pokemon Contest building, which stood proud and tall, with a modern design. There was a massive shed next to the entrance to the pier. She could hear loud, mysterious noises coming from there. A PokeMart and a Pokemon Centre were busy as ever. She walked along the newly-constructed pier, towards the ferry.

"All aboard for Fall City!" bellowed the old man. She sprinted towards the ferry, in such a rush, she accidentally tripped on one of wooden boards. "Quickly, JUMP!" bellowed the ferry captain, in an incredibly loud voice. She hastily recovered and leapt to her leaving destiny. As she leaped, her hand slipped from the ferry's edge. She found herself in mid-air and soon felt the coldness of the water, surge into her Ranger uniform. The coldness was nothing compared to the heartache she felt as the ferry moved on, into the setting sun. Without her. She broke down in tears and wept in the sun-stained water.

A tiny voice inside her head told her, "No! I'm not going to let my dream creep away like this. Come on! Be brave! Go for the sky!"

She opened her eyes and became someone completely different from her usual timidness and quietness. She started swimming like never before. She was determined to never let her dream fade away. Never! This pushed her on. It propelled her faster than a Golduck. She kept swimming an thinking that she would never let go of her precious dream. One that she would accomplish by her own strength! The girl was starting to gain on the ferry. Passengers were whispering around, "Wow, what a determined girl!" "Oh my goodness, this girl is the most powerful one in the whole world!" A little boy said amongst the crowd, "Hi big girl with the burning eyes..." She winked back in response. The boy was left with a smile on his face. Finally, she reached the ladder of the ferry.

Climbing out, completely drenched with some seaweed hanging over various places, she reached into her pocket for her ferry ticket. "Here you go..." she mumbled tiredly. "Hmm, it's a good thing these are waterproof. Wahaha!" chortled the ferry driver. She slumped onto an empty seat and her world went black after she closed her eyes and slept...

Lunick: Grrr... When will I be introduced!
