Lars chuckled softly at the girls words, making sure he didnt speak about his dislike of the type or her clear hatred of them to his team since he knew there were moves and types flexingly close to it within there but all the same, at least they agreed on one thing. As she questioned him though, he paused for a moment. She was young, seemed not the brightest and she seemed to fixate on a type he was not exactly close to. But, his role was to bring more to the church and merely because he disliked her, or her kind, didnt mean someone in the group couldnt make some use of her. "A church is like a group, well mine is like my family because my own family turned on me and left me alone and within help and my church came to me. They offered me a home, medicine, a role and a purpose and now i help them by furthering what they ask of me. They offer blankets to the cold, food to the hungry, they aid pokemon and people who need....something higher in their lives" he explained, his tone and words clearly those which had been practised and polished to their best, even with pauses included. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily hummed thoughtfully. "They sound like the Rangers!" She chirped happily. "That's why I became a ranger, you know, so I could help people and pokemon.... even if I'm a little on the mischievous side of things," She let herself pause in speech, thinking about it.
"Rangers saved me and my starters from certain death," She admitted. "They saved me from a bad time, and they are the reason I'm still here today," She blinked at Lars.
"Your 'church' sounds like that, some people who are good people, who save others," she said cheerfully. "I'm glad you have people like that in your life! It's always good to have good people with you." She smiled at him.
"What higher thing in your life do you need than that?" She seemed to agree with Lars' speech. "My old family was kinda like yours, it sounds like; they abandoned me because I didn't like Psychic pokemon like they did. They..." She paused, closing her eyes against the thought of Haunter and his death. "My best friend died because they thought that Ghost pokemon were automatically bad; it's why I fight so hard for Ghost pokemon and their rights, even though they do mischievous things." She opened her eyes again, and an old pain was in them, reflecting the old grief she had from her old friend dying. WORDS ● TAGGED ● NOTES

Lars tried to hide the digust which moved over his face as the girl compared his church to the rangers, though he was half succssful as it was quite the insult. "I would say not, you have stupid rules to follow which you do because "the law" thinks its right and so forth. We are more flexible, after all, it is wrong to steal from someone and take their goods right? But if someone was starving, had nothing to eat for a week, and took food, is it still wrong?" the man countered, his argument clearly one he was very used to using. Listening as the girl spoke, lars was quick to dance though his mental options and then settled on a version of his story his suspected would work the best. "I was like you, born in to a family who had a way of doing things and seeing the world, and i disagreed. So i had to leave, because it would never work, and i had nothing. The Undying Branches found me, took me in, and gave me more" he explained, pausing for effect and adding a small sigh after his words. "For example, my ponyta. Shes beautiful, so smart and just a stunning girl all in all. But, in all his unfair cruelty, Arcues bore her in to the wrong body when she was born and she had to grow up as someone else. She had to hide what she was, conform when she knew she was lying and suffer for so long. Well, my god is kinder. He cares for those in his family, and he was able to give her the body she knew was right" he recounted, the story clearly one he was passionate about from his words and tone and seeing as he could see the pain in the girl right now, he knew this was the right pressure point to push on to. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily winced as she saw that she had obviously offended Lars. "Oh, um, that's true," She admitted. "The Rangers are kinda strict on what we can and cannot do, but supposedly it's for a good reason," she said, wanting to stick up for the organization that had saved her and so far supported her, despite her mischievous side.
"I'm sorry you experienced that," Twily offered in response to Lars' explanation of his childhood. "I guess we all suffer in our own ways," she said quietly. She looked to Boo in her arms and smiled down at him. "But we've emerged triumphant despite our hard beginnings," she said wistfully.
She looked back up at Lars as he described the troubles his Ponyta had gone through, and her heart panged as she felt empathy for the plight of his pokemon. "So, your 'god' is kinder than Arceus, huh? What's your god's name?" She asked curiously. WORDS ● TAGGED ● NOTES

This child was reminding him of her age and while lars knew she could not help it, it was growing tiresome. She spoke like someone who was new to the world, didnt know the darker side of it and complex levels below the bases of "good and bad" which was annoying at the best of times but when he was trying to make his sell and keep up the act of a normal trainer, it was grating. All the same, as she went on, he offered her a small smile and nodded to her first comment and then latched on to the question as she asked. "We followed Xerneas, the pokemon who gives life and gives lives to those who smart enough to see his gifts for what they are" he explained, turning to his pokemon once more and she looking over Gravewolf. "Thanks to our god, my pokemon here who has taken a female as her mate and bonded to her as mates are want to do, has been able to have a family. My ponyta has been able to be reborn in to the body she was always meant to have, i have found and formed a family. Its not a hard life to turn to, but its what we must turn from which becomes an issue" the man explained in a long breath, eyes curious as he looked over the girl to see how she would respond to his speech. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily wasn't sure what this guy's angle was. It was clear he was after something, perhaps her joining this church of his, but Twily suspected an ulterior motive from the man. No one just offered good things like he was spouting for free. She narrowed her eyes at him, wondering if she should just call him out on his bullshit or let him continue to try and woo her to whatever he was after.
"Xerneas is the Representation of Life, right?" She asked curiously in response to his answer to her question. "The one who supposedly created life itself?"
She cocked her head to the side as he continued his little speech, wondering at the idea of a pokemon being reborn in a new body. Was that even possible? She supposed evolution was a form of rebirth but she didn't think he was referring to that. "Rebirth? Are you talking literally or figuratively?" She questioned. WORDS ● TAGGED ● NOTES

Lars nodded to the girl as she spoke, trying to make himself look as impressed as he could at her guess before she went on and he sighed softly. "I dont know how much of the world you know, or how much you know of sufferings of lifes injustice of existing" he started, lifting one hand to run through his hair as he tried to think of how to word this to little more than a child with a mind filled with silly ghost stories. "Starlight, my darling ponyta...well" he started before he stopped, lowering a hand to his belt and sending out the pokemon in question a moment later. Grave took her chance to disappear off in to the shadows and Starlight, who had clearly been listening to all this, flicked her head around a few times to settle her mane correctly as lars spoke. It was clear within moments, for anyone who knew the species, something was off. The pokemon was tall, well built and muscles rolled under her pale fur which was short. All the same, her movements were slight and graceful, her eyes bright and warm as she looked to her trainer. "My darling here was born and raised for the beginning of her life as a male, thus she grew in ways she hated and was growing to become a lie. With aid from our god, she was able to be given the body she knew was her own and now, we try to spread that message to help others. Of course nothing comes for free, but i think giving soup to the hungry and finding blankets for the cold is nothing to the expensive medical items gifted to us in order to make my Starlight happy" the man explained in a long breath, reaching out to stroke his pokemon as he kept speaking. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily listened to Lars' story about his ponyta with rapt attention. She hadn't known it was possible to change your gender; what an interesting fact that was now running through Twily's head. "I didn't know it was possible to change your gender like that!" she gushed, a smile dawning on her face.
"Congratulations to your ponyta, though! I'm glad she's happy now!" she chirped. "I suppose in light of such a miracle, feeding a few homeless and hungry people isn't such a chore!" she hummed happily.
Then she turned her head to the side and looked at Lars seriously. "So... if one doesn't like being one gender, you can just... change it?" She asked curiously. "I mean, I've never felt like a male, but I've never really felt like a female, either," she went on blithely, not really realizing she was revealing a very private thing to the man.
"Is it possible for a gendered person or pokemon to be no gender?" She asked him. "You know, like Solrock or Unknown pokemon are?"

At first, lars could feel his chest swell with pride as it was want to do when his story seemed to work and landed. He nodded to the childs words, agreeing with her comment which was merely an echo of his own again, though those without the ability to form their own thoughts and merely parrot his own back to him were a good thing for his church so he was not going to comment on it further. And then, she missed the point. Moving right off on to a topic he didnt care for or know about, the man was quick to shut the conversation down. "I am unsure, and as someone who has gone through neither worries on who or what i am, i dont feel its my place to comment" he said a little dismissively seeing as she seemed to have miss the entire point of what he had said. He didnt care who or what she thought she was, he knew who he was and so that was that, how was he meant to comment on these things when he had no idea. "I dont think unless it effects yourself, one has any right to comment on these things, i think a support group is a great way to go though, i know my church has several for everything from who one loves to the type of pokemon the train" he went on, trying to bring the conversation back to his point. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily nodded at Lars' words. "S-so... do you think maybe... I could join your church?" she asked shyly, rubbing her hands together. "It really sounds like a great place, and I could use some support," she mumbled.
Boo wriggled in her arms, still wanting to get to Lars and eat his shoelaces. <Want!> he said in his ghostly way, and Twily looked down at him, sighing.
"No, Boo, we don't eat people's shoelaces," She explained to him patiently.
<WANT!> Boo cried, fake tears welling up in his orange oval eyes. Twily rolled her eyes.
"Want this," She said, sticking a pokemon treat in front of his face. Boo's eyes got wide and he immediately gobbled it up, mashing it messily with his tiny fangs.
"Sorry about that," Twily said to Lars. "He's been a bit of a handful for me."

There it was. While it had not arrived in the way the man expected, the question he always hoped for came and he gave a small nod of his head. "Well we have meetings out in the wilds twice a week, to allow anyone from any walk of life to join, and then 2 more in different towns on different days. Of course these tend to wrap around things like healing for pokemon or meals for those needing them so i would advise, here...." he explained, leaning a hand in to one of his pockets. He seemed to dig around for a moment before pulling out a flyer, turning his hand and holding it out for the other trainer. "This one has the next event, a training thing we are holding for unsure and new trainers, which i think is being held in one of the tourist towns but all the information is there. I dont tend to go to them unless im asked, a little more to be doing, but merely show up there and mention my name and you'll probably be offered some training battles, a little more information about what we do and what we might need from you" he went on, nodding down to the paperwork which seemed to cover a few more events, a location and things the church offered from food to bedding and warm clothing and on the back, ways to volunteer. 100/100 - Level Stats

Lars' church made sense to Twily; she wanted to help people and pokemon. It was why she had become a ranger in the first place, even if she wasn't the picture of morality that most of them were. She supposed she should stop stealing from people; but it was so fun to get away with something so small and seemingly insignificant.
She accepted the flyer from Lars, and looked down at it. It described the event in a bit of detail, also giving her the town and day it was being held in: Vester City the next Wednesday.
"Thanks for this," She said gratefully to Lars. "I'm sure this will be a good thing!" She beamed at him, putting the flyer in her bag.
"So, if you don't go to the events, what do you do for the church? Obviously you recruit, right?" She asked curiously.

Lars chuckled at the girls words, watching her take the paper and slip it away somewhere before he waited for her focus to entirely return to him before answering. "Well technically i was indeed meant to recruit, only i was one of the first people to come to Shula and As such i got tasked with taking on and raising a few pokemon the church as keen to see grow" he explained, moving a hand over his waist before he paused. Maybe it was not best to show the dragon pokemon off, he was a potent pokemon and looking down over his girl, she didnt seem to quite be of the same level. "Well you see dragons have always been known to be hard work to train, so im now tasked with exploring the region entirely, trying to make a good name for the church in things like gym battles or contests, as well as raising some strong pokemon" he finished after a few more moments. "Of course i will go to events, if i have the time and freedom, but mostly im just too busy" he clarified a moment later, chuckling softly again. 100/100 - Level Stats

Twily nodded in understanding as Lars explained about how he was training pokemon for the church. "That sounds really cool! What kind of pokemon- oh, dragon types? Nice! I'll have a dragon type eventually, I suppose... That's if Kofu wants to evolve, I guess..." She trailed off, thinking about her swablu eventually evolving into an altaria.
"Well, at least you get to have fun while working!" Twily said cheerfully to the older trainer. "Rangers are... kinda fun? I guess? There's a lot of rules involved, though..." She blinked, realizing that she hadn't exactly done a lot for the Rangers as of yet. "I suppose I should honestly do more for the Rangers..." she muttered. "They saved me, after all, and it would be nice to pay it back." She looked at Lars, almost in askance.

Something in the blonde twitched, something deep in his chest. Not at first, at first there was a child whining about her pokemon and asking about his without asking, no, if she didnt use her big girl words then his dragon and what he was, and how good he was, would stay hidden. She could ask, then he would tell. No, it was the next point which made something burn in him. A competition, with nothing and no one really, but it was there. "As someone who felt they owed something to people who only ever put rules in my way, trying to change who i was as a person and wanting me to fit to their mold because i "was debted to them" i can tell you its not always....worth it" he said, dropping his head as he went on and allowing his voice to wobble in all the right places as he hide the smirk on his face by keeping his head low and moving a sleve to wipe at fake tears. 100/100 - Level Stats

Important Info
Season
Good news, Autumn is here! The sticky heat of the summer is finally gone, but the bad news? Its gotten very cold very fast. Berrys have fallen early from their perches, fruit and food is getting caught in snap frosts and icy mornings and this is leading to very cold mornings, pokemon getting desprate quickly and dark and chilly evenings
Next season change ~ May 20th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
