#rai's friends

[ranger-rai]

Bonjour Ranger Rai. I have a weekly battle with my friend Gym Leader Valerie every Friday and whoever loses has to has to buy brunch. Do you have much of a relationship with any of the Gym Leaders in Sinnoh? I would assume you’d know most of them as you travel much more frequently than I.

Oh yeah I know a good few of them well.

I have met them all at one time or another, only a few of them am I actually close with.

Let me list them out for you:

-Roark: We need to work with him a lot, but he's kind of annoying. He sends proxy gym leaders to meetings and to battles so often that went we need to find him we check the mines first.

He is so fixated on digging, finding fossils, and reviving them that we have needed to put regulations on how many Fossils can be revived a year.

He also introduced the underground secret base system, but it was such a hazard at first and took so long to get him to have more safety measures, it was a whole thing. Really don't like getting involved.

-Gardenia: She is an old friend, I knew her before becoming a ranger and we still work and hang together.

Her grass type passion is incredible and she's been a big help with restoration projects around Sinnoh, she's super involved and usually the first gym to help when the rangers need assistance.

Also they have a family business of growing fresh produce, and we have a trade off with the cafe so we have fresh produce all of the time.

-Maylene: She's a little more reclusive, for official work, but when she's not training she's actually pretty nice to be around.

Gardenia has brought her and a couple gym leaders out before, and when she cuts loose a bit more she's a lot more fun.

She also likes to challenge people to wrestling matches, something about "people's true selves come out in combat". I've had to be a part of one but I'm not too good at them, however she actually gets along with Minne pretty well.

-Crasher Wake: He's. The. Best! He is one of the nicest guys, he helps with our volunteer efforts a lot and he's always got fun stories. Even if you aren't taking the gym challenge, you should go see one of his exhibition matches.

Wake will go above and beyond if he can help it.

-Fantina: She's alright. She's pretty busy when not at the gym or judging contests, and she does support the community in her own way, but not so much with us.

She does aspire confidence in young trainers and coordinators, but she's also a lady of the stage so unless it's official gym business, our paths don't cross often.

-Byron: He's cool. He's like if Roark was more chill and wore a cloak. He's much slower in his endeavors and will have a good convo, also He's apparently a good drinking partner according to Jo.

We get quite a lot of support from him, probably our 3rd most involved gym.

He was also a huge help when first learning how to care for Sylvester.

-Candice: She's pretty great. The 2nd most involved gym in any community out reach and probably the most supportive with education, we talk with her a lot.

Also Her, Gardenia and Maylene make a sort of trio, so if at least 2 of them are involved you actually have all 3.

Candice is well respected but she also is the first Gym leader who will cut loose when given a chance, and she usually needs to meet outside of her town because most of the other gym leaders don't do well with cold like she does.

We are on a first name basis, and she promotes my videos in her classes.

-Volkner: He was actually a lot worse when I first started but he has gotten much better in recent years.

We are pretty sure he was suffering from a form of depression or at least creative burnout, but his spark came back.

I started spending more time around Sunnyshore when I found "The Duke" and I was pretty impressed by the work out there. I decided to introduce myself and he wasn't too responsive but I kept coming back while checking on The Duke.

After a while it just sort of became a thing.

Later when I found Skip he was tagging along on my routine visits and Volkner took notice of his corrupted speech, he wiped up a little voice box for him in no time.

He's a pretty chill guy, and I just go to him directly with ideas for improving things around sinnoh.

I proposed the "Safe Canopy" and bathrooms for the rest stop areas, and he didn't realize that there wasn't something like this already.

His world is a little small and he doesn't always seem to get out or look beyond his area, so me and a couple of others are sort of his peek into the bigger world.

He's actually a nice guy.

There is a pretty consistent communication but I'd only really call a couple of them close friends.

You meet a lot of people when you're a Ranger, but it's pretty nice.

Gerard Way at 9/11, the event that started it all

TODAY IS THE DAY MCR WAS CREATED 🥳🥳

HAPPY 23RD ANNIVERSARY (with a 6 year break) TO MY FAVOURITE BAND

(Edit: some people have made me aware that this post can appear insensitive or inappropriate towards 9/11. That isn't my intent, 9/11 was a tragedy, and the aftermath was horrendous. This post is only here to celebrate the start of mcr, absolutely not 9/11.)
