“Today is the Day. Tauros, if you would.”
Sabrina calls out Tauros and gave him a nod.
She pruned preemptive everything she knew she could and should trim of.
There are also some cleared places, were Sabrina decided to plant new Berry types.
For her search for trimming Tools and an outdoor footstool (she remembered the name), she found a shed.
Surprise surprise, there were also little saplings inside.
When the little signs are to be believed, the they’re are young Saplings of Persim, Rawst, Wiki and Occa berries.
Occa and Rawst make a great protection against Fire Moves, Persim helping against confusion and Wiki also able to heal.
Even though it seems it’s more of an Treat for Pokemon liking the flavour.
But all the little Trees are still far from growing, even though Sabrina could swear not everyone looks like a real sapling.
Then she pondered about placement, then got nervous about the black soil underneath and the implication and so on.
Finally, she decided to let it go and ride Tauros to the City, getting rid of him one way or another.
Tauros is motivated for it an breaks out into a run.
He doesn’t seem to use any Move, but it was still incredible fast. And uncomfortable.
Both are after a noteworthy shorter journey in front of the City.
”Ah, my butt.”
”Tau!”
Before Sabrina can throughly lament her fate, she was pushed by Tauros.
With a dismissive ‘Yes Yes’ she calls him back and searches for the Police Station.
Celadon City isn’t big enough to warrant having two separate buildings to report things like that.
And the actual Ranger Building is placed a bit more outside the City.
Rangers are some kind of mix of fire fighter, rescue teams specialised for Forest search and a bit of Police.
Some live in Celadon City I their own house, other in the building for it an again others change it from time to time, depends on season and shift.
Sabrina only knew that she has to search for the Police Station after waking an Auntie watching over a Cubone and a Pichu.
”Hello, what can I do for you?”
”I like some consultation regarding a Pokemon, a Tauros, which would liked to be released but fears of not having a herd.
On the other Hand, it knows it needs a Trainer but doesn’t agree with being sold and then getting taken care of by some random Person.”
”That is a Case for the Rangers. We have someone you can talk to right now at the Station.”
”Thank You.”
Sabrina gave the person on the reception a tiny bow, before following.
She leads her through an hallway, an bigger gathering room and then to a door at the back.
”This Person here would need some help regarding a Tauros that is unwilling to change hands in a normal way.”
”Ah, that’s fine. We need a break anyway.”
”Yeah, Girlie, can you tell us a bit about it?”
Three seemingly rangers, an Officer and an Official from their Looks ist inside the Room.
A simple map of Kanto before them, with route 17 was it? Marked.
The one left of Celadon City.
A Woman in Ranger outfit sitting quietly in the Corner, as if knowing it will be pointless to engage.
Probably leading the whole affair a middle aged Ranger man, his hair grown a bit long but average overall, for someone in a job that needs much fitness.
And what probably is a Veteran Ranger, calling Sabrina girlie, causally leaning in the desk.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.The Officer is looking really troubled with the Official sitting there in a no non sense manner, probably not helping one bit.
”I moved here only recent and there are some circumstances regarding my Pokemon Team.
What you need to know is that I got it gifted… wait a moment please.”
Getting Tauros and having Vanessa at home.
Wholesaling everything was a day after, wie I couldn’t meet her.
And on the same day I and Tauros agreed to tomorrow from yesterday, also today, to ride here.
Huh, times passes. I don’t know if I expected it short or longer.
”Yes, two days ago, around noon from a distant family to help me.
I only know that they supposedly had an hard time getting him.
He was plainly uncooperative, stubborn and prideful, not ready to train under someone suddenly.
Also, he is unsure where he should go, as selling him to another random person or getting released without herd are both things he doesn’t want.
For now he is calm at the prospect of entering the Safari Zone.”
”Ay, the Family that gifted it you?”
”The Father was Nick, the Mother, ahem…, and they have a Daughter called Vanessa.”
”Pfft, forgot the Name, eh? Well, we can work with that. Everyone her knows Vanessa at least.
Even though the Mother should be the hardest to forget hahaha.”
Something seems to amuse the man with stubble Beard, who is probably a Veteran.
On the other Hand, the woman perks up and even stands up, beginning to talk.
”Sending Pokemon to the Safari Zone officially isn’t that simple.
Even though often Trainer let them simple Free their.
While there is no law prohibiting it, it’s only because it can hardly be enforced and cases that carry consequences are already covered by the Law.
For a Period of three Months to half a Year Tauros can be trained, but the Training Period is already over.
Normally, a single Pokemon could be added to the Program, as they already get teacher in Mass, especially a Pokemon which can feed itself on Grass.
But in this Case, you would need to cover the Cost.”
”So I take it as a no?”
”We can transfer it to an Tauros Breeder.
There will be someone we can find who will take care of it for that period.
No problems on that front.
It’s just, you won’t get any Money from it.
A free Pokemon would be gladly accepted by some, to buy it without guarantee it would give of a good offspring? Less so.”
“I am fine with that. As it stands, he is more trouble then worth it.”
”Good.”
With that, the Woman sits down again.
”When you don’t mind, what are you discussing? If I am not a bother.”
”Why should a little kid be involved into that?”
”We don’t mind! You wouldn’t be in this Room if it’s something to keep a secret.
On the contrary, Ranger mostly act pretty open, so never fear to ask, as unknown information could make it hard or even endanger you.
Currently, we try to discuss what we do with a Snorlax this Year.
You are new here, right? So let me explain.
Every time, at least once a Year, on Route 17, a Snorlax blocks the Way.
Many aspiring Trainer either get in Danger for attacking it to go through or supercharger for an alternative way.
So we capture them and send them somewhere.
Thing is, we can’t release it back into the wild since it seems to just go back.
On the other hand, a Snorlax is a handful to take care of, so there aren’t many places we can send them.
Only well off Trainer still could have a Demand, and being well of means for them being strong, which means they already have a Full Team and trained with it.
But glasses here is opposed to send it somewhere far away.
We don’t know why, but he complains for sure.”
”Because that is irresponsible!
Places without the natural calamity posed by its gluttony could suffer from it by now knowing what to expect!”
”He keeps the argument going the entire Time, treating Snorlax like an Voltorb ready to use Explosion.”
”How many people do you think could get an Snorlax fed without loosing to much on something!”
”Well, did you search for people that could? Of you know it so much better, shouldn’t you go communicate with people who could potentially do it?
I mean, getting someone knowledgeable on the boat shouldn’t be a bad idea by any measure.
And from how you argue so expertly, you see, to have a better grasp on Snorlax then the Rangers it seems.”
”What does a kid know? Heh?”
”Not much, which is exactly why I said to get someone knowledgeable to help, and you seem to be knowledgeable when you know it better than the Rangers on sending a Snorlax away.”
”Be silent, this is an Adult Talk!”
”I thoughts it’s about a Snorlax? Or do you search for a continent excuse that people shouldn’t listen to my words and you don’t need any Reason to give why your words regarding Snorlax treatment should have power?”
