Almia's Shadows Return

(OOC: Srry about the name thing. I'm sick so I'm a bit on the confused side. I'll make an actual post soon. I've got to go now though.)
 
Jewel looked behind her at the sound of a bark. She saw a houndour jump on Kurt, obviously happy. She walked over. "Well, I take it this one is your soon-to-be partner?" she asked. She didn't want to discourage Kurt, but she just couldn't let him have a partner yet. "As much as I would love to say that she can be your partner, your not a ranger yet. There for, I can't let you have a partner. You can play for a little bit, but then we have to get started on lessons, alright?" she said. "Voicemail! Voicemail I say!", a voice said. Jewel was a bit shocked. "Well hello Professor Hastings. How are you?", she asked. "I wish I was better, my dear. How are our newest Rangers-to-be doing?" he said. "Their doing perfectly well. Your evading my question, professor. What is wrong?" she asked. Hastings was silent. "Oh give me that!", a female voice said. "Jewel, something is seriously wrong", the voice said. "I'm aware of that Lavanna. Would anyone like to explain to me what exactly is wrong BEFORE I go insane?" Jewel said. "It's snowing in Boyle Volcano." Lavanna said. "This is not the time for jokes Lavanna", Jewel said, getting annoyed. "It's not a joke. Almia Castle is being hit with severe sand storms. Hippowdon Temple is full of a mix of ice and lava, creating a very thick fog. That's what's wrong", Lavanna said. "WHAT?!", Jewel squeaked. "Yes. That's what I said. We just wanted to let you know" Lavanna said. "Thanks for the update I guess?" Jewel said. "We'll keep you posted. Lavanna out" Lavanna said.

"Jewel? Is everything alright? What's wrong?" Ice asked. "Just some screwed up weather systems" Jewel said. Ice looked at her, curious. "It's snowing in Boyle Volcano", she said. Ice put his hand on her forehead. "I'm being serious Ice. This isn't a joke. I wish it was." She said. Ice sighed. "So what are we supposed to do?" He asked. "I'm not sure. I'll let you know", she said. She turned and walked into the classroom, leaning against the desk. She looked up at the ceiling. "Arceus, why are you torturing me like this?", she said to herself.
 
"As much as I would love to say that she can be your partner, your not a ranger yet. There for, I can't let you have a partner. You can play for a little bit, but then we have to get started on lessons, alright?" Jewel said to Kurt.''Well...say that to Blaze...and it is a he''Kurt answered.'Voicemail,Voicemail I say!!''heard in the whole room.Evreyone started staring at Jewel as she makes her talk.''Is everything ok?'' Kurt asked.

Jewel looked at Kurt. *Theres no point in lying. They'll need to know soon enough*, she thought to herself. "No. Everything is not ok. There is no point in lying to any of you about what is going on. Since it's rather hard to explain, I think a field trip is in order. We'll take a field trip to the Ranger Union HQ. I know it's a bit of a hike, but I'll get some Dodou and other pokemon to help us. Traveling by Dodou is much faster than walking. Trust me. I've had to use Dodou as transportation many, many times." She said. Ice looked at her questioningly. "It's only fair Ice. They're going to be facing this soon enough, so we should help them while we can." "But still, the Union? Isn't that going a bit far? They're not experienced enough yet Jewel. They could get hurt so easily. What we do then?" Ice said, his voice contradicting. Jewel glared at the blue haired Top Ranger, her gaze piercing. If it could have, it would have pinned him to the wall behind him. "Fine", she said, her voice icy and angry. "You can stay here and teach them while I go and try to fix this latest disaster like I always end up doing! I'm not fond of the idea either Ice! Do you honestly think I'd endanger the welfare of innocent children if I had another choice?!" she said.

Tears started falling, hitting the carpet. Ice walked over to Jewel and started to put his arms around her. Jewel gave a small growl and stepped away. Jewel was always compossed and calm. She very rarely showed her emotions. The stress was now plain on her face and in her eyes. No amount of caffinee and sugar could hide her exuastion. Her nerves were shot from the stress. "I don't know about you, but they need me." she said. She picked up her backpack and put it on, Snowstar leaping into it. Jewel walked to the main doors. She looked back over her shoulder. "Anyone who wants to come, your welcome too. I'll be in Veintown for a few minutes. I'll leave in 2 hours for the Union" she said before walking out, leaving a dumbfounded Ice staring at her back.
 
Ace entered school doors with everyone else and then he saw a mysterios Pokemon hiding. He came closer while everyone else were talking with Jewel, and he released that it was his Sneasel. "What are you doing here?" He said it quietly so no one could hear him except Sneasel. "Sne-Sneasel.." Sneasel became sad. "Its ok..." Puts Sneasel in his bag. "Stay in my bag, so nobody can see you." Closes bag with Sneasel in it and pretends that nothing happened, but he was thinking about what trouble he would earn, if somebody especially Jewel sees him. "Oh great, I will be in such a trouble..." Ace says it very quietly so no one even Sneasel can't hear him. Ace quickly catches up with Jewel, Kurt, Springfellow and anothers. "Phew..I hope that nobody saw me there.." Ace says it quietly.. "So...where are we going now?" Ace asks.
 
Ice ran out and caught Jewel's arm. "Let go!", she said, struggling to get free. Ice put both hands on her arms, holding them at her side. "What's wrong Jewel?", he asked. "Let me go!", she said. "No. Not until you tell me what's wrong", he said sternly. Jewel struggled more. "Please. Let me help you. Tell me", he said. Jewel leaned against Ice. "I'm j-just stressed", she said. "Aren't we all?", he asked. He managed to bring Jewel back inside. Jewel calmed down and looked at Ace. "We're going to the Ranger Union HQ.", she said simply. Ice just nodded in agreement. "We'll be leaving in about an hour", she said, looking at Ace's backpack, a curious look on her face. She saw the tip of a red ear. She smiled. "I suppose it's useless to tell them they can't bring their pokemon. Ace, I did the exact same thing when I was a student. That's why I'm not upset. I'm actually quite happy to see that you've got such a strong bond. That's very important for a ranger", she said. "I actually was a student once upon a long time ago. I was probably the one who caused the most trouble. Sneaking out at night, going off and exploring on my own", she said, laughing.
 
"Sorry Jewel, but I just saw him hiding here a minute ago, but its still my fault..." Ace is disspointed in himself. "Oh well...Come out of the bag Sneasel and wait....ARE WE GOING TO RANGER UNION HQ!?" Ace is very excited and Sneasel too. "Wait, Sneasel can't come with us right?" Ace asks sadly.
 
''Wait? WHAT THE HE**!!''Kurt was really shocked because in their first day they were going to the HQ.''Just give me a quick lesson on how to use a styler and Im in!!!!'' Kurt was shouting loudly with Blaze barking.He was really exicted now.

"Hmm.." Ace thinks. "I think that they will teach us how to use Styler in our first lesson, but only if we wish to become a Pokemon Ranger like me.." Ace says it proudly. "But I think that our Next Partners are not allowed to go with us.." Ace said it sadly..
 
"But I think that our Next Partners are not allowed to go with us.." Ace said and Blaze started looking at Kurt's face.''Dont worry! No matter what happens you are coming with me!'Kurt said to Blaze giving him(Blaze) a large Sableye grin.
 
"Heh..Good to hear that, I hope that you will find a way to keep him." Ace was a little impressed about Kurt. "Don't worry buddy, im not going to give up on you, we are going there together.." Ace said it quietly to Sneasel and Sneasel made a litttle smile.
 
Jewel smiled at the excitement. "Take it easy everyone. Yes, we will teach you how to use a styler, even IF you're not going to be a ranger. Yes, we are going to the Ranger Union. And yes, you can bring along your soon-to-be partners. They may as well learn the way, since I have no doubts that you'll all make excellent Rangers. As for the lesson……I thought it would be more realistic if you made your first captures in front of a few of my co-workers. Other Top Rangers, such as Sven, Wendy, Kate, Keith, Ice, Myself and we are supposed to be getting a new Top Ranger soon. Don't worry, we were all students once and we all made mistakes. Kate, Keith and I were in the same class. Of course, I was a few years older, but still just starting….." she said, when she heard something. "TARGET…….", a male voice said. Jewel pushed the students and their pokemon out of the way with the speed of a Ninjask, Ice following her. "CLEEEAAARRRR!!..." The voice said, followed by the doors busting open off their hinges.

"BARLOW!!!!!", Jewel yelled, kicking aside a piece of wood. The ranger turned. "Jewel!! So it IS true! You ARE a teacher!!", he said, hugging Jewel tightly. "Barlow….Can't….Breathe!!!" she gasped. The area ranger leader put her down. "Barlow, what in Mew's name was THAT for?!", she said, pointing to the now-destroyed doors. "I thought they were locked", Barlow said. "Well they weren't", she said dryly. Barlow looked at the students. "Well, well. These must be our future rangers! My name is Barlow. I'm the leader at the Ranger base in Veintown. I'm pleased to meet you!" he said. "Barlow's also famous for his Target Clears. You'll learn about those later." She said, picking up and moving the busted doors.
 
''I think I dont wanna learn that target clear thing....'' Kurt said quietly.Blaze started to bark happily.''No!! Blaze!! Dont!!'' It was too late!! Blaze jumped on the large man named Barlow and making the large man fall.''Ouch!....that will hurt....''
 
Jewel smiled. "Target clears are when a ranger uses a pokemon to get rid of an object blocking their path. Barlow here takes it one step further and uses himself to clear the target." She said. Jewel picked up a heavy pice of the door, almost buckling under the weight. She sent a glare at Barlow. She saw Barlow get knocked down by Kurt's houndour. She shoved the piece of the door against the wall before bursting out laughing. Ice was leaning against the wall, his shoulders shaking from the laughter he was fighting to contain. "Ooof!" said Barlow. Jewel walked over and picked up the houndour, giving him back to Kurt. "Did you see that?! It attacked me!" Barlow said. "Oh yes, this little puppy went and viciously attacked you. I'm so scared." she said, petting the houndour before finishing cleaning up.

"Thanks for your help Sparkles", he said, snickering. "What did you just call me?!" she said, whirling around. "Sparkles" he said again. "Barlow. You know I hated that name. Remember what I told you I'd do to you if you ever called me that again?" she said. Barlow narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't" he said. "Oh but I would, dear Barlow" she said sweetly. "I'm sure Big Bertha would just LOVE a visit from me" she said. "Ok, ok! I take it back!" he said quickly. Ice looked at Jewel. "Big Bertha?" he asked. "She's a friend" Jewel said.
 
"Hello there im Ace and this is my future partner..Sneasel!" He said it to guy who was knocked out by a puppy. "Also, who's Big Bertha?" Ace was a little curious. "Is it a somekind of new Gigantic Pokemon?" He asked.
 
Jewel laughed again. When she was able to breathe, which was 5 minutes later, she looked at Ace. "No, dear child. Big Bertha is...." she started, when she smelled milk pudding. "Oh my goodness, I haven't smelled milk pudding in years." Jewel said. "Barlow? Are you ok?" asked a voice. A rather large woman in a pink dress stepped over the remains of the door. "Bertha!", Jewel said excitedly. "Jewel! It is you!" Bertha said, hugging Jewel. The woman was able to lift the blue haired Top Ranger as if she was a feather. "I missed you so much! How are you?" Jewel asked. "I'm well dear. I brought you a little taste of home", Bertha said, giving Jewel a small bowl of what looked like milk, but slightly thicker. "Oh Bertha, you didn't have too" Jewel said. "Yes I did. You haven't been here in what? 5 or 6 years?" Bertha said. Bertha looked at the students. "Haven't you fed them? They're all so skinny. Poor dears" she said. "Bertha, they got here an hour ago. Don't worry." Jewel said. "Students, this is my good friend Big Bertha, the strongest person in all of Almia.", Jewel said.
 
''Blaze.....you did have to do that didnt you....'' Blaze just barked back. "Barlow? Are you ok?" a female voice said and a...ehm...'huge' lady came in.When he heard that this lady was ''Big Bertha'' he started to laugh like crazy.
 
"In Almia, pfft...I thought that she's the strongest person in planet earth..." Ace was kinda shocked. "Sneasel! Sneasel!" Sneasel jumped on big bertha's head. "SNEASEL! Get down here mister!" Ace yelled at Sneasel, but Sneasel pretended that he didn't hear anyting. "Sneasel.." Sneasel thought that his on the skyscraper. "Sneasel, why are u on Bertha's head!?" Ace asked.
 
[FONT=&quot]Jewel put a hand to her left side, leaning over, her lean frame shaking violently from laughing. Big Bertha looked up at the little pokémon on her head. "Oh, this little thing doesn't faze me. I have 5 children and a few Miltank." Bertha said. Jewel wiped her eyes. "Ok, let's get moving before anything ELSE happens" Jewel said. She picked up her pack again, and stepped gingerly over the splinters of wood, before Ice picked her up and carried her out to the lawn. The blue haired Top Ranger's face was pink. "Umm. Thanks" she said as Ice set her down. "Come along, children" Jewel called.[/FONT]
