"Pokemon Rangers... the guardians of peace and protectors of nature in the world of Pokemon. They work side by side with Pokemon everyday to help people and Pokemon in need..."
Alright, so this is a spark I had last night replaying Pokemon Ranger, after finishing replaying Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. It brought back so many memories, and then it hit me. Why not have an RP about being Rangers? It'll start off at the Pokemon Ranger School in Almia, where a new class will be learning to become Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics. This will also center mainly around the three main Ranger Series Regions, Almia, Fiore, and Oblivia. As such, at times it will involve characters from said regions, such as Area Rangers, Top Rangers, Ranger Union Operatives, and just overall characters.
Plot
The Pokemon Ranger Union has stood for years as the protector of nature. Many evils have risen in the past years however. Some almost achieved their dreams of domination, only to be thwarted by the Pokemon Rangers. Now, more and more people want to become Rangers, so they can help defend nature from these evils.
As most Rangers do, many new students are arriving at the Pokemon Ranger School, to study to become Rangers working in the field, Operators helping from afar, and Mechanics making sure everyone can get their jobs done. And... even if there is no evil in the world, there will always be problems for the Rangers to solve. Although, no one said that there WAS no evil in the world today...

Rules/Guidelines
1. This will be based more off of the Anime than the Games, so things such as damaging the Capture Styler will be less important, while conveying your friendship to the Pokemon are more important.
2. No Godmodding (Ex. Captures Arceus in less than five seconds)
3. I'll allow collabs, just make sure to have some individual posts as well.
4. I will not be directly playing as a new student. Instead, for a time, I will be the teachers and staff of the Ranger School, and later on appear as an experienced Ranger as my main character.
5. NPCs and Locations will be revealed as the characters discover them.
6. As for Almia's Top Ranger situation, I will be going with 5 Top Rangers in Viore, Including both Kate and Kellyn, along with Keith, Sven, and Wendy.
7. If you're not good at acting out captures, I would use a Dice System to judge your capture skill.
8. Have Fun of course!
Accepted Characters
Name: Bryon Cass
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: He has combed over blackish brown hair, with bright blue eyes. He is about five foot tall, and wears standard Area Ranger clothes. He is somewhat muscular, but still remains relatively thin. He has a Capture Styler holster on his belt, which he uses to, well, carry his Capture Styler. He also has his Ranger Rank pads on his shoulders.
Role: Pokemon Ranger
Ranger Rank: Rank 6
Personality/Bio: Bryon was born in the Sinnoh Region's Veilstone City. He grew up there, looking up to the Gym Leader Maylene as a role model. When he was ten years old, a poacher stole a valuable egg from the Veilstone Gym, so he took up the chase with Maylene. They managed to corner the poacher in an alleyway in the city, where he dropped the egg while climbing up a fire escape. Bryon managed to catch the egg, which proceeded to hatch in his hands. Out of the egg hatched a tiny Riolu. Maylene and her Lucario had since captured the poacher, and had called Officer Jenny to take him away. Afterwards, seeing how close the Riolu and Bryon had become already, Maylene entrusted him with the small Aura Pokemon.
After that, he spent time considering what he should do next. He was old enough to become a trainer, yes, and he had Riolu as his partner. But he just didn't catch on to the trainer life. He began looking at other options, and found out about the Pokemon Ranger Union, an organization in place to protect nature, people, and Pokemon everywhere. He also found out how to join, a Ranger School in the Almia Region. For a time he said goodbye to Riolu and left it with his mother while he went off to Almia to become a Ranger. After a few months, he returned graduated from the Ranger School along with the rest of his class, and was assigned to the Ranger Union HQ in Almia. Before that, he went back to Sinnoh, and reunited with Riolu. He made Riolu his Ranger Partner Pokemon, and returned to Almia.
A few years later, the Team Dim Sun incident occurred, putting all Rangers on high alert. On the day of the attack on the Ranger Union, he was away handling Team Dim Sun in Vien Forest. He watched along with the rest of Almia as the Top Rangers defeated President Hall of Altru Inc., the true mastermind of Team Dim Sun, and brought peace to Almia. Since then, there has been little trouble in Almia, but he's still always ready.
Partner Pokemon: Riolu
Prologue
Prologue
It has been about a year since Team Dim Sun attempted to use the Shadow Crystal to take over the Almia Region. Since then, Altru Inc. has reformed, now truly a corporation dedicated to finding new green energy sources, and they are doing pretty well. Peace Tower, Altru's headquarters, runs solely on wind and hydroelectric power. They hope that the rest of the region will be soon to follow.
For the Ranger Union, very few problems seem to have surfaced as of late. Almia is experiencing an era of great peace and prosperity. Sure there are still always small Quest problems, but there have been very few new missions for the elite Top Rangers. Area Rangers usually handle situations quickly, and there is little need for the more advanced rangers. This does not keep them from training, and helping where they can though.
But even if Almia is peaceful, the rest of the world still needs Pokemon Rangers. And thus the Ranger School begins yet another year with a fresh batch of students from all over the world. Some are from right here in Almia, others come from as far as Hoenn and Oblivia. All I can say is that it seems the world will be in good hands, if something does arise in the coming future.
- Chairperson Erma, Ranger Union
Chairperson Erma is correct indeed. There are many new students at the Ranger School this year, why I haven't ever seen this many before. We have such an influx that we've had to hire a third teacher, and possibly have to look into hiring a fourth! In this process, however, we are taking great care to prevent another incident such as the one with Mr. Kincaid and young Isaac.
As usual we are having our standard courses and have options for becoming Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics. We will be performing our standard semester long courses, taught by Ms. April, Mr. Rivers, and Mr. Chris. Rivers has proven himself to be a great teacher over the past year, taking the place of Kincaid. We will see how Chris performs.
We of course will require our usual shipment of School Stylers from the Ranger Union, I have enclosed a list of all students this year so you will know how many to send. And we suggest choosing a Ranger for the Outdoor Class before the year actually begins.
- Principal Lamont, Ranger School
Of course, of course! My, this IS quite the list of students, you surely will have your hands full this year. We will dispatch a Ranger with the Stylers immediately. And a Ranger for the Outdoor Class... hmm... I believe I know a good candidate this year. He's been around for a few years and has proven to be a very effective Area Ranger.
His name is Bryon, he's the one we are sending with the stylers. You can see for yourself what he's like when he arrives. He should be arriving as soon as the students do, as a matter of fact. I would also like to inform you of some changes we've made to the school styler this year.
We've added the Voicemail feature into the School Stylers, but they will only work between the stylers at a short range, say across campus. That way you won't have to ask to borrow standard Ranger Stylers this year. I look forward to seeing this new wave of Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics this year!
