“My name is not a joke!”

Amber hails from the Fiore region where she passed her Ranger exam with flying colors. She travels the different regions’ safaris for her job, offering her services to those in need along the way.

She’s had trouble being taken seriously in the past due to her “totally not a bad alias” name (and yes, that is the name on her birth certificate). Amber tends to over-correct by being a little too gun-ho about whichever situation she finds herself in.

As a rule of thumb, this blog considers an “invasive species” to be a Pokémon that has to be traded into a game/region and can’t be found naturally in the wild. The Pokémon world has a somewhat complex relationship with invasive species. Since trading across the regions is commonplace, one must assume that some form of documentation is required for registration purposes. With some games blocking the trade of certain Pokémon due to not having them in the National Dex, those particular species will be considered illegal in all forms that region.

This was bar none the strangest assignment Amber had ever been sent on. Yes, Rangers were intended to be able to travel. Yes, that included internationally. Still, they were usually prepped on where the Union sent them. Part of passing into a higher rank required learning about the different regions of the world.

No one—no one—had told her there was an island stuck in the sengoku period. She was friends with people at rank ten! They would have told her about the sengoku island!

According to the files passed on along with her new assignment, one of the kingdoms (yes, kingdoms) was in need of help rebuilding. The bigwig in charge of the region had visited one of the places Amber knew about, and during that visit had learned of the Ranger Union.

Poké Balls hadn’t been introduced there yet, because they were stuck in the sengoku period, and the Capture Stylers appeared to have made a good impression.

Naturally. They were the best.

It’s the Ranger Union’s World Tour! Brought to you by the (completely unbiased and unpaid*) Rank Five Ranger, Amber Battle!

“The only open-air market to rival Fall City’s is the one in Slateport, Hoenn.”

“I’d say there’s a best type of Poké Ball, but the best way is to not use one.” (cough) “U-Unless you’re a registered part of your region’s League! Follow the rules you signed up to follow.”

“The best safari? That would be the newly constructed zones in Johto. They’re a lot like Fiore’s Capture Challenges.”

“Sorry, Alola, but the best beaches belong to Summerland.”

“Ilex Forest has a twin shrine in Lyra Forest! Both are dedicated to Celebi.”

“Did you know the Sekra Range is the third tallest mountain in the world? Mount Silver is second, and Mount Coronet is first!”

“Yes, the Ranger Union is a union-union. Pay your dues. Also DM me if you want help unionizing my number is 555-G34E.”
