”…That worked? Oh yea!” Stiles celebrated, pumping a fist in the air. Unfortunately he forgot where he had planted his egg, as his partying sent an ill-timed foot into the round object, which sent it rolling away on the grass, and made quick work of any cool the trainer had managed to build with his successful capture.
Luckily, Bastion had been keeping up with the battle, and seemed to have grown a strange big brother bond with the egg. The turtle was ready to leap after it, and a few hearty nudges with his nose, and an enthusiastic ”Twig Twig!” the egg was safely back in Stile’s hands.
”Heh. Thanks buddy. Glad you were there. Oh! Gwenn! You did great too! I would’ve loved a repeat of that Silver Wind, but hey, what gets the job done, yea?” Sheepishly grinning, Stiles took the time to pick up his newly acquired pokeball. He had to name this sucker now. Naming them was tough. It had to be just right. It had to be significant. It had to be…cool.
It took Stiles an extra long time to come up with the title bestowed on his little blue friend, but in the end it was Guinivere who helped make it happen. Her name was Arthurian. He hadn’t given it to her, but it definitely fit. It did make him think of his first real visual of the pokemon. A little head popping up out of the water. Much like the lake maiden in the story Guin came from. ”Nimue it is then!” He declared triumphantly. ”And you guys need some rest too. Everybody in!” He called out to his pokemon, even the now groggily awakening Shinx. One by one they disappeared until only Bastion and the egg remained in the fresh air. ”I figured the two of you should stay out. That egg can’t hatch in a pokeball, and you’ve kinda got this whole guardian thing going on. So I figured it’d be safe to keep you around, yea?”
”Twiiiig!”

With the egg safely in the vines of its protective 'older brother' and the Trainer Stiles safely putting his new Pokemon away, the group set off... who would know what they would encounter next...
As they walked, it grew obvious that they were getting close to the upcoming Ashmere village, according to a sign that showed the distance between them and the town.

Stiles was rather floored by the sudden appearance of a road sign…and a road. Since leaving the main path in search of berries, he hadn’t dreamed he would ever find the road again, certainly doomed to roam this tiny forest for days on end. To see a way out was surprisingly heartening. ”Well Bastion, looks like Benji was right! We went off the path, fought a trainer, caught two pokemon, picked berries, met a whole bunch more, and now look! Our adventure leads us right back to the path we stepped off of! And looky here!” Stiles proclaimed proudly, brushing off a bottle still lying on the dirt road. ”Somebody dropped a potion right in our path! Cosmic Karma is shining on us today!” He said, tucking the potion away to replace the one he had used earlier.
”Tur-twiig!” The little turtle chimed, happily turning in circles on the dirt road. He had been in his pokeball last time they were on it, so the change of terrain was interesting. The pokemon’s feet felt good with freshly trodden dirt under them, much like a strong tree.
”I agree, feels good to be back on the right track. What’dyou think we’ll find in Ashmere? Strong trainers no doubt. But we’ve gotten pretty strong too, eh Turtwig?” He smiled as he began to walk down the road again, eager for what was to come. But Ashmere was still a ways off, and anything could happen!

(Actually, GM over-ride)
As Stiles continued on, Turtwig at his side carrying the egg. The Trainer and his Pokemon walked slowly on, until they heard a strange bellowing sound coming from a group of trees to their left.
"Tauros!" The roaring call came out, and a charging Bull Pokemon came crashing through the trees... it caught sight of the Trainer and his Turtwig, and began stomping its hoof against the ground rather angrily, snorting.
The huge Normal-type Pokemon began to charge, baring its horns at Stiles and rushing forward, aiming to gore them. Suddenly, a strange object flies through the air and strikes the Tauros, then releasing a small cloud of gas that envelopes the Bull Pokemon, causing it to stumble to the ground and lay limp, unconsciously.
"That was close... you okay, kid?" A human voice asked Stiles, coming through the trees and looking at the big Pokemon. The human who came through was a man in his early twenties, wearing a red jacket, trousers, and hat... the typical uniform of the Pokemon Rangers, with a patch on his left shoulder sewn on to the jacket, indicating that he was part of the Capital County regional unit. "Been tracking that guy for the entire morning, finally had a clear shot at him."

”Heh…heh…uhhh….yea. ‘Okay.’ That’s what we’re going to call this. Not scared to death or watching my life flash before my eyes. How ‘bout you, Bastion?” Stiles had panicked. His newfound pokemon-trainer suave was launched out of the window as he came the nearest in his life to ever pissing his pants. Except that one time that he did, but he was only five at the time and it had nothing to do with being scared.
”Tur…Turtwig.” Bastion seemed rather bored with the assault, shrugging at Stiles’ question. Being a tiny turtle in a shell made it far less threatening, obviously. The egg, however, was pulled tightly to him, ready to shield it from danger.
Stiles just sighed. ”Thanks for making me look like a wimp, you cocky turtle. Oughta make shoes outta you or something…” He began to mutter to himself as his eyes moved from no longer deadly Tauros to the man who had knocked it out. He stopped mid-sentence and began to beam from ear to ear. ”Well tie me up and call me a pidgey! A Ranger! Not the best circumstance to meet one, but I’ve never very fortunate when it comes to first impressions. Where are you from? And how,” Stiles’ head tilted to the dozing demon, ”do I get some of that?” Personally he was glad to have run into a ranger. It made the capital city seem a little more like home with his red-clothed friends about.

"Nice to meet you too, kid. My name's Andres, I got transferred here from Sinnoh, to help with the expansion." He explained, smiling to the young Trainer and stretching a bit. "What, this stuff? Sorry, no-can do. It's something only Rangers and certain Pokemon researchers are certified to use. I've got to get this big guy back to where he belongs, before he tears up the local plants and Pokemon here."
With that, the Ranger took out what looked to be a Pokeball... but it clear, with intersecting dark blue rods wrapped around its horizontal and vertical axes. He tossed the ball at the Tauros, which was absorbed into it and smiled.
"Transport Ball... doesn't actually capture the Pokemon, just keeps them some place safe for easier transportation. Gotta get this guy back to the ranch... Now, if you're headed towards Ashmere, I can keep you company for a bit."

”Well, I’m Joseph. You can call me Stiles. In fact, please call me Stiles. Forget I said Joseph.” He extended a hand for a friendly shake with the Ranger. ”From what I’ve seen of them so far, none of these pokemon were in danger of that guy. They all seem to be fighters.” Stiles tapped his newly acquired pokeballs on his left hip. ”Some of my new teammates can attest to that!”
Turtwig, however, seemed to grow impatient, stepping in front of his trainer to introduce himself. ”Turtwig Turtwig, Tur Turtwig, Turtwig!” The pokemon mumbled off a sentence, seemingly expecting the ranger to understand him more than Stiles usually did. It seemed a standard enough greeting, both of himself and the egg he carried (which for now was merely named “Little Turtwig” to the grass-type pokemon).
”Right. This is, of course, my Turtwig. His name is Bastion, and he loves carrying that egg. I’m almost sad for it to hatch. That’s how much he loves it.” Stiles joked, but as he did so, the egg wobbled again, more actively than the last time it did so. It was closer to hatching for sure. ”And yea, Ashmere is ahead of us. Personally, we’re glad we found the road again. You know, Ranger Rule Number 1: ‘Explore the Unknown!’ We kind of went way into the unknown. Luckily we found you!” Stiles was glad for the company. He hadn’t seen anyone except that one trainer since he left the city, and he had been around nothing but pokemon so long that they were starting to make sense to him…

"Well, it's nice to meet you Stiles." Andres said with a smile, continuing on as he walked with the young Trainer. His body was tall and strong, his dark, shoulder-length hair kept back in a ponytail, which was covered by the standard Ranger's hat. Andres looked down as Turtwig introduced himself and the egg, chuckling a bit and petting them both. "Nice to meet you, Bastion, and little Turtwig."
Seems that Andres could understand Stiles' Pokemon no problem... of course, that's not too far-fetched of a thing to claim, considering that he is a Ranger, after all.
"Well, that's kind of Rule number one... if you're counting numerically and not by importance. 'Be prepared' is the most important one, I think..." Andres said cheerfully, beckoning Stiles and his Pokemon to follow.

Stiles happily followed the guy who seemed to know where he was going. ”Being prepared has never really been my strong suit. I try, god knows I try. But it always seems to turn out wrong. I went camping once and brought everything I could possibly think to need. Really was prepared. But then I slipped and fell into a river, and the whole pack got washed away. All my stuff gone. It was a pretty horrible camping trip after that. Ever since, being prepared has always seemed to backfire on me.” The boy was a walking monument to being clumsy, so it wasn’t too hard of a story to believe.
”Also, how did you know what Turtwig was saying? I mean sometimes I get these little vibes like I kinda get the idea, and sometimes he is just way off, rambling about nonsense. Is there like, a pokemon language course or something I missed?” He looked down at the pokemon, who was sniffing all over the ground, seemingly lost in his own world. The tiny earthen turtle and his little egg-based pal didn’t even seem to notice he was being talked about.

"When you're a Ranger, you encounter so many different Pokemon on a regular basis, you eventually just figure out what they're saying from sheer necessity and from spending so much time with them. I've been a ranger for about three years now, and I've just picked it up as I've come along. Andres said with a smile, continuing to walk with the young fledgling trainer towards Ashmere village, where he was supposed to hop back to the local station and get the Tauros back to where it needed to be.
The two continued to talk for a fair while, until finally the sun began to set and Ashmere village was only about a quarter-mile away, visible from where they were, for the most part.
"So, tell me kid... what made you want to be a Trainer?" Andres asked of Stiles, looking at the young man curiously.

Stiles had to pause a bit to come up with an answer. Pokemon Training wasn’t exactly a passion. He had just kind of…fallen into it. ”To be honest? I kind of suck at everything else. Lynnwood’s a small town, and when you don’t belong, well, you really just stick out.” Stiles hadn’t been the most popular of kids. He wasn’t big or strong enough to work in the lumberyards. He was too clumsy to do any of the really intricate work like making ropes or clothes or pokeballs. ”It was all Benji’s idea, my journey that is. He’s a Ranger too. See, the Ranger’s are kind of like outsiders in Lynnwood too. Most of the folks actually aren’t happy there that the new confederation opened. They take their frustrations out on the Rangers, mostly. It gave me somewhere to go where people didn’t make fun of me.” Stiles suddenly realized that he was spilling his guts to a total stranger, and grew immeasurably stiff.
”But you probably don’t want to hear me whine, do you? You’re, uh, probably used to hearing about how pokemon are greatest thing ever and how there’s just so many to see, heh.” Stiles absently rubbed the back of his head, happily fitting back into his goofy persona. ”Sorry, but that’s not me at all. I’m doing pretty well so far, actually, but I’m sure the moment I run into a gym leader I’ll probably wet myself or something and run home crying. It is pretty much assured. Yea.”

"Everyone has their own reasons, Stiles... I don't begrudge you yours because they're different. Just figure out what makes you feel happy and proud... Whatever the reason is behind it." The Ranger said with a smile, patting Stiles lightly on the shoulder as they finished the last legs of the journey, only a few hundred feet from the village's main gate.
"Go on and figure out what's in store for you... your Pokemon will help you find what you're good at. And be sure to bring a spare change of pants in case you meet any Gym Leaders..." He joked, elbowing Stiles lightly and nodding as they reached the gate. "Well, it was nice talking to you, Stiles."

Stiles kind of regretted getting to the gates in front of the next town. It had been fun, this little adventure he had trying to get there. The better part of a day spent walking and having fun and fighting pokemon. ”I’m pretty sure they already know. Guinivere swears I should be doing better. She’s a bit bossy. The others are a bit harder to read. Maybe once I figure out Poke-nese I’ll find what I wanna do with ‘em.” Stiles extended a hand to shake the Ranger’s hand one last time before they entered the village. ”I enjoyed the company, Andres. Maybe I’ll see you around. Just don’t let your Tauros escape again. Others might not have my iron bladder.” He made the joke lightly before turning to his own pokemon.
”So, do you think it’d be the dumbest move ever to just walk up and down this route for a while?” The little Turtwig seemed more or less indifferent to the idea, but he kept staring into the city beyond, as if he wanted to explore. Stiles relented. ”Well I guess that settles it then. Onward and upward, eh Twiggy? In ya go.” He held out a pokeball in one hand and gently lifted the egg in the other. In a moment he was alone with the ellipsoidal bundle, which seemed to be getting heavier. It was just he and the town ahead, now.

Stiles: If you've nothing more in the thread, you can go ahead and start one up in Ashmere Village, and I'll respond with your Pokemon's experience results, etc. Good job. See you then.
