ReboundRising's Profile

You pause at the wooden gate of a rather cozy-looking ranch. A quick look around reveals to you that the gate seems to surround the entirety of the ranch, and above you is a sign that reads "Welcome to Paradise Valley!" Eh... You suppose it's not too bad. You notice that next to the gate, there sits a pair of leather gloves and a bucket nearly overflowing with berries. You also notice that the gate is unlocked and the owner is nowhere in sight... Well, surely they won't mind if you drop in just to feed a few Pokémon or hold a few eggs. With that in mind, you slip on the gloves and pick up the bucket before passing through the entrance. Once you're within the confines of the gate, only now do you note the cries of various Pokémon. Hearing a nearby rustle prompts you to look to a nearby tree, and you can't help being startled by the sight of a lone Delphox watching you through narrowed scarlet eyes and a stoic expression. You step back and jump at the sound of a laugh to your left. As you turn to the source, you blink at the sight of another trainer sitting atop a shiny Tauros and cheek-to-cheek with a female Pikachu. You can't help instinctively tensing at the sight of the Tauros, having noted their tendencies to be highly temperamental, but thankfully this one seems to be Docile... And you also can't help taking in his natural beauty. The newcomer is androgynous in appearance, and their eyes hold an indomitable spark. However, it's not hard to observe that they also hold a tired look in their eyes. You honestly can't tell if they might just be weary or perhaps ailing. "Don't worry about Firestorm," they remark, gesturing to the Delphox who seems to have returned to a watchful state. "He might look rough, but he's just protective. He definitely won't mind you sticking around if you offer him a treat, though. He'll eat basically anything." The ranch owner pauses, looking over you before continuing on. "Welcome to Paradise Valley. I'm Rebound, the owner of this ranch. You've already met Firestorm, and these other two are Wakka and Wanderer," they explain as they gesture to the Tauros and Pikachu respectively. You watch as Hunter retrieves a Chesto berry and an Aspear berry from their pocket and offers them to Wanderer and Wakka, respectively. Wakka emits a grunt of pleasure and an expression akin to a smile before tilting his head back and prompting his trainer to give him a good scritch to the chin. Wanderer, on the other hand, gives a quiet chirp and presses her cheek to Rebound's, coaxing a soft chuckle from them and a few gentle scritches for her as well. "Anyway, let me just tell you about how things work around here. I've got all types of Pokémon running around here, but they tend to stay in their own zones for the most part. They also tend to stay in groups depending on their favorite foods, so that should make it easier for you to feed them. Sounds easy enough, right? Sorry to cut this short, but I've gotta go take care of some other things. I'll be around in case you have any questions. Hope you enjoy your visit!" Before you can reply, Rebound gives Wakka a gentle nudge with their heel and the shiny Tauros quickly moves on. Well... You've seen stranger things.
