Soteria Lightning, also known as Tory, was on her way to the ranger station so she can get her first quest as a ranger. She wasn't sure how it will go but she knew that she just might find herself a Pokemon Partner while she was on the quest. As she headed to the Ranger Station, Tory began to think of what kind of Pokemon Partner she would like to get and hopefully will be able to get. Riolu or Lucario would be of great help in many things, especially when something heavy is blocking the way. A Zorua or Zoroark will be a great help as well, especially with creating illusions, so that if there isn't a way to finish something off or to calm a Pokemon down they will be able to escape and come up with a better plan to have the mission be a success. Snivy or it's evolutions will be of great help when they are in grassy areas and are wanting to sneak up and catch someone red-handed.
There were so many good Pokemon out there that will make amazing partners for a ranger on their quest. Also as Tory thought about Riolu and Lucario as well as Zorua and Zoroark, her thoughts turned to her parents. More specifically her mother, who was no longer alive, and their partners which happened to be Lucarios and Zoroarks. She smiled at those thoughts and continue on her way to the station, more excited then earlier, in anticipation of who her partner Pokemon may become.

As you walked down the path towards the Ranger Village, where the Ranger headquarters were located you could not help but notice the many pidgeys, starleys and pidovs flying around. There were so many pokemon running around the area and in a few moments you would arrive in the ranger Village and be able to obtain your very own pokemon!
It only took a few minutes but you soon arrived in the ranger village, It seemed to be a pretty small village and some wild pokemon could actually be seen running around the area. You soon manage to spot a large white building with the ranger sign on it. What would you do?

Tory saw the many flying Pokemon of Pidgeys, Starlys, and Pidoves flying around the area as she got closer to the Ranger Village and smiled softly at the site. She knew that Flying-type Pokemon will be of great help if she ever needed to go somewhere quickly, but first she had to get to the station to let her leaders know that she was there so she continued walking to the Ranger Village. Soon she saw a pretty small village but it had a lot of wild Pokemon running around the area which caused Tory to smile once more. She always love seeing Pokemon weather in the wild or otherwise and she is glad when they look happy.
After she saw the wild Pokemon she saw a large white building with the Ranger sign on it so she took a deep breath and went inside ready to begin her life as a Pokemon Ranger. Once she was inside she began to look around to see where she needed to go to get her partner Pokemon.

As you entered the building you saw many rangers and some new recruits here. The main room, which you were in was fairly large had many computers around the place and a large television screen on the wall. There was a large man who looked no older than 35. He then signalled for you to take a seat.
"Hello there new recruits and rangers alike." he began "It is with honour that I welcome you all to the trail exam for becoming a ranger within the Dregga region." He paused and took a slight walk to the right side of the room.
"I cannot call this a trial exam as all of you here have been evaluated upon entrance to this room and will become rangers at the end of this. According to the pokemon legends, they can sense a huge threat approaching our region and our goal is to protect both Humans and Pokemon alike and that is why everyone will be able to become a ranger today." He paused walking back to the centre of the room.
"Rangers, you need to be physically and mentally strong. It is not an easy road ahead of us." As he said this he pulled out a red item that looked like a phone, and a remote all in one. He then used one hand and spun it above his head before releasing what looked like a top from within the remote. It spun around in a circle in a large area of the room before he pulled it back.
"This is a capture styler this is an essential tool to all rangers, you need to be physically strong to successfully loop a pokemon enough times to befriend it. It also fully heals them from all injuries that it has been caused in battle." he then put the styler in a holster and walked towards the room in the back.
"My name is Steven, I'll come back here in five minutes, by then I hope you are all prepared for the exam." and with those words he went into the back room
Another girl who was next to you during the lecture stood up and looked at you. "Hello there my name is Karen, and don't worry about Steven he acts tough but he really is a nice person. I've been training here for a while now and this seems to be your first time here. Just stick close to me and I'll help you out" Karen said as she smiled happily at you.

Tory smiled softly as she looked at Karen and listen to all she said before she said in return, "Thank you Karen. My name is Soteria but everyone calls me Tory, it's nice to meet you. I hope I do well for this exam though." She smiled as she began to think of how she could work with the styler. She was in good shape but she still has to worried about her strength for it. The same can be said about the stamina needed but she was sure she will be able to handle it and as she works on it that her strength and stamina will increase. After a few moments of thought and a few deep breaths later Tory believe she was ready for the exam again though she wondered what will happened and what all she will need to do.
She looked at Karen and said, "I believe I'm ready now. I had several relatives that were Rangers before me and I'm sure I'll be able to do well in the exam." She knew Steven said that all the recruits here will make it as a ranger since they are needed but she couldn't help but worry that she will miss up somewhere along the way but then again you can learn from your mistakes as well.

Karen smiled at you "Nice to meet you Tory. I'm pretty sure this will be a difficult exam I heard last time Steven had the new recruits go against his partner in a tactical battle. Many of the older rangers said it was one of the most brutal test ever."
Karen then grabbed your hand and lead you to a case. "This is the new set of Capture stylers. They aren't as powerful as the one Steven uses but once we get past these are the ones we are going to get." Karen then pointed at the giant television screen
"That screen usually displays available missions as well as the notice board which is in the ranger only area of the building." Karen looked at you and waited to see if you were taking all of the information in.

Tory looked at the stylers before her and then looked at the big television as she took in all that Karen was saying to her. She also put the information about the one exam Steven put the recruits through before and hoped she wasn't put through the same thing though she trust she will be able to get through it, maybe not easily, but she would get through it. She then looked at Karen to show that she took everything in and understood it. "Okay Karen and that's really good to know. I'll keep it in mind and keep watch on it," Tory said smiling softly at her as she once again glanced at the stylers.

Karen then walked forward and stopped as Steven returned to the room.
"All right guys listen up, we will now head to the first test." He said as he gave a signal to follow him. He then walked back through the door and down a hall passing many doors on the way. Soon the group arrived at what looked to be an indoor track.
"Welcome to our indoor track, this is where our Rangers go to improve their speed and stamina. we train here rigorously in hopes of being able to catch up to any bandit or be able to tire them out. the first test is simple. everyone will run a 100m dash 8 people at a time. This is to test your current speed." Steven said as he began lining up the rangers and had them running. Some of them ran really fast while others seemed to be really slow. After a short while it was soon both you and karen's turn to run.
What would you do?

Tory took a few deep breaths as she saw the track and watch as the others ran around. Something being fast while others are being slow so she was ready when it was her and Karen's turn she smiled at Karen and gave her a nod before she got ready. Once it was their turn to run the 100m dash she was off but making it look like she was slow, because she was saving her energy until the finish of the 100m dash and took off at full speed while breathing in through her nose and exhaling outside her mouth in the regular runners way. She wasn't sure how well her stamina was but she was at a good average for a regular ranger to have until they get better.

As you ran the 100M You saw Karen quickly ran past everyone and managed to come first even after you started to speed up you couldn't even catch up to her.
Steven then assembled everyone together again. "All right now that everyone is all warmed up you will all now have to run a mile which is 4 laps around this track. There will be no walking only running! if you walk even once you will have to do the entire run again!" Steven said in a stern voice as more and more guys began running the mile. Some of them who ran the 100m really fast almost collapsed due to their lack of stamina while the slower ones were able to make it till the end, some of them who won the 100 metre also did really well.
Karen smiled and whispered into your ear "This is all about controlling your breathing its easier if you breathe through your mouth." She said as Steven signalled for you all to go on the line.

Tory listen to Steven speak after she got over her surprise for when Karen ran pass her. she looked at Karen as she spoke and smile at her before giving a nod and saying, "Yeah, thanks Karen I'll keep that in mind." Then with a final smile Tory went to the line and once it was time to go she began to take off at a fast pace while breathing in and out of her mouth, like Karen said and because she knew it to be true, and kept at a good speed to make it to the finish line though she was slightly out of breath and when she did breath she was breathing hard from the run but she began to take slow and even breaths to calm her raising heart so she can be ready for the next test.

Steven smiled and whispered under his breath "We've got a good set." Karen looked all right but you could see that she was a little tired from the run. "All right follow me slackers!" Steven said as he began walking many of the trainees were walking while out of breath. This seemed to be really tough for a good amount of them. Karen made sure that she walked with you to keep you on target. After going through a door you reached into a forest like area. Steven pulled out a pokeball and out of it emerged a Butterfree. "This is my partner, she has a son a small yet powerful caterpie somewhere in this forest. Your goal is to find and bring the caterpie back here." many of the rangers smiled while others had fear in their eyes. A new recruit quickly ran into the forest and after 30 minutes he came out with the caterpie. he was tied up in string shot and had bruises all over. He even looked like he was going to collapse right in front of you. More and more Rangers went some came it worse off than the first guy some came out better. Karen came out without as many bruises but she looked worn out. It was now your turn to go in. (OOC: This will be a bit interactive so I'll be giving hint to where caterpie is and moving as caterpie while you search for it)

Tory looked at the Butterfree and smiled softly as she headed into the forest to begin looking for the Butterfree's son. She knew there were a lot of Caterpie in the forest for her to look at but only a certain Caterpie could possibly be the Butterfree's son so she looked carefully for a powerful looking Caterpie. As she looked around she made sure she kept full focus and glance everywhere that a Caterpie could possibly hide or be. She looked in trees, where she knew Caterpie will eat the leaves from, and near water where they could get a drink from.

As you began searching and looking in the trees and near the water but you didn't spot the caterpie. "Squee!" You heard from a bush not too far away. Maybe it was the caterpie giving you a hint to its location. it may not have been much but it was your best bet at finding the caterpie.

Tory looked around the area's that she thought about and didn't find the Caterpie and began to start thinking about what other places a Caterpie will go until she heard the sound of the Caterpie coming from a bush not too far away from where she was at now. Wondering if the Caterpie was trying to lead her to where he was at she headed in the direction where she heard his sound and look in each area closely.
