Regan chuckled and rolled her eyes, "and a sense of humor, too." This path, she said. This was the kind of company she preferred. Perhaps she panicked slightly earlier, when she left the company of that... Affluent young man. That young man's attitude had been something so foreign to her, she wasn't prepared for it.

The young lady turned the question around on her. "Oh, just that I enjoy working with Pokemon. I used to be a trainer, but I retired after my second attempt at the league. I'd had my fill of battling, thought to put my talents to use helping travelers, and here we are. I can use my talents as a trainer for just that. And to help a future professor, well! Feels like an important assignment, even if we're just looking into a missing wild Onyx." Like she was guarding the future or something, but she should be careful with such grandeur.

Aaah, I've been wanting to have a good RP to use Ranger Regan in for a while. Feels good.

"Simple enough to get there, then. Very good. Rapier, you know what you're looking for and where, then?" The bird gave the Ranger a sharp nod. "Good. Fly on ahead and let me know what you find." She was about to move on when Rapier nudged her arm, pecking lightly at her sleeve. "Wh- oh. Haha, you want a launch? Alright, alright. Hop up." She put her arm out and the large bird pokemon lit to her arm. They both turned north, and Regan stretched her arm out. She drew back, Rapier leaning his body forward with the motion. Regan, in a movement not unlike a baseball pitch, put her whole body into a throw. Rapier pushed off of her arm at the right moment, gaining great speed. He put his wings out to glide at this great speed and lifted high into the sky, beginning his search.

"Ok, our scout is searching ahead of us. Let's follow him."

As they walked, Regan decided to strike some conversation, "Tell me, Sarah. You're not a typical trainer, are you? I met a Coordinator just today, which was a completely new thing to me. Never so much as seen one before. The Association came to my island just recently, so the different occupations seem strange. Some of them are obvious; trainers. That's how I got my start, before I became a Ranger. Traditionally, though, where I come from, we would simply live alongside Pokemon; the formalities can be somewhat strange to me. So, tell me, what path do you walk?"

"I'm all ready to go. Shall we?" Regan gave a smile and led the way out of the building. She checked the compass on the side her bag, getting her bearing for North. Ah, but how far North? And which way would be best? She was completely unfamiliar with the lay of the land around here, which created a problem. "I'm from a much larger island nowhere near here, so I'm not too sure of the area. The approach to the area we're looking for is just straight north, then?"

The Ranger turned her attention skyward, waving to a bird soaring high. The bird banked and descended quickly, stopping and landing in front of Regan. "There's my good bird. Rapier, we're looking for a large Onyx to the north. I'm not sure how large, exactly, but I'm sure you'll be able to pick it out. Sarah, have you seen it before? Do you have a more... useful description for Rapier?"

Ooh, I was working on one. I think I left it on my laptop. I'll have to see if it's there, still.

"An Onyx? Well, you're in luck. I just so happen to be especially handy in the mountains and caves. My pokemons' fighting-type techniques will take care of things handily." Was that all the professor wanted? It sounded like there were other things she could use a Ranger for, but she'd keep it simple for now. If it was important, the professor would say something.

She turned to the... student? Not a traditional trainer, if she was receiving assignments this way. "I'm Regan, pleasure to work with you. Lucky you, gettin' your own escort. I'm no slouch, either."

Nah, I think that's fine the way it is. I await the second chapter. I suppose we'll see a renewed player roster?

Regan saw the sign quickly enough. "Aah, this way, huh," she murmured softly to herself, following the directions given by the sign. She took her time, peering in this shop or that on her way, but made a point not to meander. She knew she was getting close when she saw the fenced in wilderness. Who else would need that, here, but a Pokemon Professor?

She found the front of the compound shortly, "guess I'll try the door." The Ranger found it open and let herself in, poking around before finding the person that looked like she was in charge. "Professor? I was wondering if you needed a Ranger for anything today. I'm on my way to HQ to report in."

Regan grabbed a couple of brochures whole she was waiting, sitting about in the lobby while she waited for the status report from Nurse Joy. It would do to learn more about her surroundings while she had the time. From what she could gather, she'd have to catch another ferry to get over to the rear island, where the HQ was. That was... Evoru, also the smallest island. She felt like Jenny might have told her that. Ah well. She might have to make a few different landings on the way there. Rapier could carry her, but... She doubted that was comfortable for either of them.

Well, she should keep moving. If she let herself get stopped like this all the time, she'd never get there. She confirmed with the coordinator that he was comfortable seeing the Wingull back into the wild on his own, before going to find herself a bus. She had to go through Lilan Town, and she should stop to visit the professor while she was there. They'd probably be working together in the future.

She'd just managed to make the bus. Rapier reported nothing of interest, just a shrugging ruffle of his feathers. She gave him a few pets before getting into the bus, which he would follow from a comfortable distance, moving from roost to roost or simply circling lazily above. She climbed down off the bus, that brochure in her hand as she tried to decipher where should could find that professor. Maybe she'd have to stop by the Center and ask. They might even have another brochure.

Ecthel diversified his magic with rigorous training to expand his basic capabilities. He also applied some other magics to help him obtain the necessary speed for close quarters with a bow. Interesting. Aah, but the conversation turned to her, in turn. He inquired of her magic, just as she had of his. "Drawing a bow is no mean feat, indeed. As for my own magic? Hmm..." She thought for a moment, wondering how to explain it properly. Without getting weird.

"Well, it's nothing as formal as spell casting. More like a sort of... spell, or enchantment was put on me, to give me extra power. When my will and the enchantment align, the power increases. When they do not, usually if I'm being selfish or something, or if I'm unsure, it decreases. Conviction and compassion guide my power, like when things resonate with each other."

"Aah, was that sufficient? It's kind of not very straightforward."
