    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    "Good to know it ain't even a question," Leaf said, still grinning. That was more like it. "But c'mon, you gotta have stories, right? Why just curbstomp when you can humiliate?" She stomped a forehoof into the dirt and ground it in for emphasis. Honestly, even if there wasn't some top-secret...

    "Won't come to that, anyway," Leaf said, leaning on "won't" a little harder than she'd intended. "There's still more intel we can get, and we'll have the numbers to pull him in twenty directions at once." She glanced around, caught sight of a few Rangers bustling about their preparations. "Big...

    Leaf didn't ask whether Leona was sure she was up to it. Woulda been patronizing. Of course she'd want to go, even if it might be hard for her. Of course she'd want to see this through. (Who wouldn't?) And she had been doing tons better, lately. She still looked quiet, pensive, but not broken...

    Leona probably already knew that one last (please last) big raid against Cipher and Alexander was on its way. Chief Ayda and the other Rangers had agreed to help out, after all, and having a ton of dungeons to lock down meant having to do a ton of prep; likely impossible not to hear about it...

    For just a moment, even down here in the quiet dimness of the Heart, it was bright as it'd been outside. Leaf hadn't actually seen anyone use the Relic Stone before—technically still hadn't all the way through, on account of having to close her eyes for a sec, whoops—but she hadn't been...

    And then they were in the water, and for a second Leaf had no idea what even was going on. Didn't matter. Leona was laughing, like for real with no reverb at all, and so she could laugh, too. She stood up, stomped in the water a few more times to splash and cool off a bit of the heat from...

    The stone caught Leaf in the flank and she flinched, staggered, lost a little ground—but it wasn't that bad. Not like last time, no searing, crushing pain, nothing trying to claw its way into her head. Just a little rock. Just a race. A good one. "That all you got?" she laughed. Seeing Leona...

    Leaf couldn't resist jumping off the end of the slope Sinopa'd shaped for them. Not that it was that steep or anything, but c'mon, she was a rapidash, she didn't need that if she wanted to catch some air. Just a little bit of flying, as a treat, y'know? Then they were thundering out of the...

    Huh, look at that. Leona was smiling; the shadow reverb in her voice was faltering. That was new. That was good. "Hmmm. I dunno. I guess I could, if you're really suuuuuure..." Leaf glanced over her shoulder like she needed to double-check the distance, tone mock-wavering, tail swishing...

    Leaf smiled wistfully as Leona went through her list. "Sounds like some of the stuff that helps Minerva, sometimes." And Mewtwo, not that they'd admit it. She hadn't been up to the lookout much, on account of, y'know, normally it was just a ladder, and other Rangers were usually quicker to...

    "We're going to find a way to send you back. You and Seth and anyone who needs it." Leaf stomped emphatically on the stairs. Didn't matter that she didn't know how they'd do it. (Couldn't matter.) "We'll figure it out," she added, possibly to herself as much as Leona. Scared...? She almost...

    Leaf followed Leona up the stairs as they folded themselves out of the wall. She lagged just slightly behind, still thinking. "I guess it makes sense that you'd still feel like you're... stuck," she tried. "They put you there and you're stuck, and..." She trailed off, not sure where the line...

    Leaf flinched for just a second at the snarling wolf shout, but shook it off. She doesn't mean it. "What's wrong with adventure stuff?" she asked, giving the lycanroc a defiant little grin. "Someone tell you you can't read that if you want? Anyone who'd whine about that's not worth the time it...

    Leaf tried to imagine being stuck in a cage in the Game Corner, going through... she didn't even know everything Minerva'd gone through. She wasn't sure she wanted to. "Must be," she said after a beat to come back to herself. "Easy to get used to knowing what to do about something from the...

    It'd been hard to nail down for a bit, why being a for-real ranger felt so good. Easiest, at first, just to say it was miles better than bad-luck job board pickings and pothole patrol. Really it was millions of miles better than waiting. Something would need doing, or someone would need help...

    Leaf risked a quick skyward glance to see if any more backup was incoming: any sign of anything else flying or leaping around, maybe trying to keep Nico busy. Nothing. Still and quiet. All the action was still at ground level, then— The charizard moved. Leaf snapped back to them, lunged at...

    Leaf's sides heaved for a couple seconds as she tried to balance catching her breath with keeping her horn pointed straight at the charizard menacing them. Laura wasn't running. Why wasn't she running? Why wasn't the grovyle running? What the hell was going on? "Who... who is this guy?" she...

    Smoke rolled out of nowhere, choking the plaza. Isidora knocked the relic out of Sceptile's grasp (yes!) and he dove into the cloud after it (dammit!). Leaf whirled around, charging back toward them almost without thinking. No. You don't get it. She wasn't scrambling, she was trying. () Maybe...

    Dammit, she'd been there, she'd been right there and this jerk had— Tumbling rocks cut off the rest of Leaf's thought, crashed into the side of her head, nearly took her legs out from under her. All that stellar horse-hearing went dead for a second or two, replaced with painful, obnoxious...

    The moon caught the spines on its back and the withering snarl on its face and it all clicked. Tyranitar, of course. Fighting style wasn't even too far off the one that liked to hang out at Blue's gym, 'sides the fact that around there pokémon usually liked trick room for their speed...
