While her visage might suggest a youthful and delicate innocence, her looks belie a persona with more than a few loose screws. She will fly off the handle from what often seems an unprovoked state, and is sometimes caught babbling in incoherent arguments with herself. Minora seems prone to fits of hyperactivity, often followed by long periods of lethargy. And while sometimes she acts very much like a child, she has a deep rooted devotion to protecting wild Pokémon. She has burn scars on a good portion of her body, but most are usually kept from view under her clothes. She is not ashamed of her disfigurement, however. In fact, she proudly wears her blemishes as a testament of her dedication to her line of work.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">History</span></strong><br/>From her birth, Minora was fostered into a life of stagnant mediocrity and relative poverty. As a little girl, she often fantasized about danger and excitement. However, her hometown of Viridian City did not cater well to this ambition.  When she grew to a young teen, the fair female took on a job at the local Pokémon Gym. There, Minora was conscripted as part of the maintenance crew. She cleaned the facility before and after the many Pokémon battles that took place within the Gym's walls. For the next year, the biggest thrill Minora would find was watching up and coming trainers battle against the local gym leader, Giovanni.<br/><br/>One fateful afternoon however, a match in the gym went awry. A trainer's Pokémon unleashed a powerful psychic attack that missed its target and instead struck Minerva as she was mopping the floor on the sidelines. As an effect of the attack, she was rendered comatose for several weeks. Minora was utterly unresponsive, and the doctors didn't know when, or IF she would ever wake up. At long last she did recover, snapping up from her coma as if waking from a bad dream. After being cleared by medical personnel, Minora went home and eventually even returned to work at the gym.<br/><br/>In a matter of days, it was apparent that something was amiss with Minora. She would often stare at seemingly nothing, facing a bare wall or even out into open spaces. Other times, she would be caught having conversations with no one in particular. Her behavior had also begun to grow erratic, with a constant shifting of moods and emotions. Not having the income to take their daughter to a specialist, her parents merely suffered through her strange rants and violent mood swings. What they didn't understand was that the stray psychic attack that had put their daughter in a coma had inadvertently awoken a latent psychic ability within Minora. She could now communicate without hindrance between herself and certain types of Pokémon. Specifically, Ghost types. She could even sometimes pass along her thoughts telepathically. An unfortunate side effect to these new abilities was that Minora had gradually become a bit psychologically unhinged.<br/><br/>Most people don't think that ghost Pokémon are common, and some doubt they even exist. But the thing about Ghost Pokémon is that if they don't want you to see them, you wont. Unless you have psychic abilities, of course. Minora could now spot these ghosts wherever they were. They could not simply fade away or disappear into the shadows to hide themselves from her. What's more, is she seemed to actually attract these Pokémon to her person. It became so that she started to befriend the ghosts. Minora would constantly talk to them as they floated or walked beside her, invisible to anyone else that would look on.<br/><br/>One of these ghost Pokémon in particular, seemed to greatly enjoy her company. He was a Gengar, and Minora dubbed him "Renzo" to distinguish him apart from others of his kind. Renzo was never more than a few steps away from Minora at any given moment, either blatantly visible, or hidden away with his innate abilities. Many of the other kids in her town aspired to be trainers. However, Minora had watched trainers for a good part of her childhood. And while she loved to see Pokémon in action, she didn't find the appeal in catching them and setting them to fight against one another for personal gain. Minora preferred instead to interact with Pokémon in their natural and wild state, often employing Renzo as a mediator for initial contact. It was Renzo who first suggested that Minora try and join the Pokémon Rangers, as she seemed to have a knack an interest that would align herself to this profession. Not only that, but she was already past the age where most kids went off to become trainers. At sixteen, she was set off to the nearest Ranger Academy in hopes of joining their ranks. Renzo of course, followed her incognito.<br/><br/>Nearly a year later, Minora graduated from the Ranger Academy. She was assigned as an Area Ranger to her home region, and with the occasional assistance from Renzo and other wild Pokémon, she made herself useful in protecting the balance in the Kanto region. As she was already acquainted with Renzo, the Gengar was a sure fit to become her Pokémon partner. Patrolling the Kanto region wasn't particularly dangerous, but it kept Minora busy and satisfied with her lot to helping wild Pokémon keep safe. She reported to the Ranger Union regularly, and did a fair job despite her aberrant personality.<br/><br/>One day a wildfire had started to spread in the area. It was inadvertently caused by irresponsible trainers battling in the woods. An unchecked fire attack had lit up the surrounding trees and brush, and was quickly engulfing the wilderness. As was her duty, Minora went in to try her best to stop the spread of the fire. However, the blaze had grown too large by the time she had arrived. Utterly surrounded by flames, Renzo guided Minerva to a nearby abandoned mine shaft. She took refuge in the security of the earthen hole, while the wildfire outside swept through. While waiting for the fires to pass, the two explored the depths of the mine to find a cache of forgotten explosives. Just then, Minerva had an idea. They could stop the spread of the flames by blowing them up!<br/><br/>Quickly the two gathered up all the explosives they could find and moved them toward the mouth of the mine. As soon as the fire had cleared they both emerged with armfuls of ordinance, and began chucking it wildly at the fire line. <br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Boom! BOOM! <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">BOOM!!</span> <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">BOOOM!!!</span></strong></div><br/>When the dust finally cleared and the debris stopped falling out of the sky, the fire had in fact been stopped. It had been a crazy mess, and in the heated frenzy, Minora had suffered burns to her body. The actions of the duo had also left huge holes in the the ground where a portion of the woods used to be. But the damage the fires would have caused by continuing to spread would have been much worse. At least, that's what Minora likes to believe. Renzo accompanied his scorched friend as they made a haggard trip to the nearest city. Once again, Minora found herself hospitalized. When she was well enough to return to her duties, Minora was brought under indictment for her actions during the forest fire. While she had displayed incredible bravery and ingenuity to combat the threat, the Ranger Union had no choice but to place Minora under an indefinite suspension for the damage she had caused to the environment.<br/><br/>It has now been three months since Minora has been on official suspension. She occupies herself by doing odd jobs around the area and in the towns. She still patrols the countryside, keeping in line with the call of her duties, even if not acting as an official Ranger. One morning while walking through the market district in Lavender Town, Minora picked up the daily paper. Printed in bold lettering was a headline announcing that Legendary Pokémon had been mysteriously disappearing. The whole town was talking about it, in fact. What was going on? Suspension or not, Minora had a duty as a Ranger to investigate... even if not officially assigned to the matter.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div align="center">(https://image.ibb.co/g1N6L7/2000px_International_Poke_mon_logo_svg.png)<br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">PARTNER</span></strong></div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><strong>#094, Minora's Gengar</strong></span></span> A.K.A. <span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>"Renzo"</strong></span></span></div><hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://image.ibb.co/bCJkxn/tenor_gif_itemid_5634798.gif)</div><div class="floatright">(https://image.ibb.co/imLTL7/giphy.gif)</div><div align="center"><strong><em>Psychic/Ghost Type</em></strong></div>• <strong>Hypnosis</strong>- Puts an opponent to sleep<br/>• <strong>Dream Eater</strong>- Only works on sleeping opponents.

What veil is beyond our comprehension? What places coalesce between the planar walks of mortals and the great beyond? What's on TV tonight?<br/><br/>Ghost Pokémon by nature do not readily concern themselves with the same things as more physically inclined creatures do. Many wander aimlessly, some alone for ages. Others find solace in others of their kind, congregating in forgotten places. And some... some just want to have a good time. Finding a few other like-minded ghost types, one particular Gengar had one such existence for as many years as he could remember. Scaring wayward travelers and taking the stuff they'd leave behind as they fled in fright, Gengar and his buddies would make off with various foodstuffs and things to entertain themselves. They even managed to transfer the innards of an abandoned home to a distant hideaway. They lived much like bachelors in a den of their making.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://image.ibb.co/g1vdL7/Post_your_favorite_pokemon_gif_953ce0_5541591.gif)</div><br/>However, this lifestyle could only last so long in its banality until the Gengar ultimately got bored. He started to explore the fringes of the spooky wilderness that surrounded their hidden locale. He would travel by night, as it is the preferred cover for most ghost types. He would go further each night, eventually going as far to not be able to come back before dawn broke. Eventually, he didn't bother coming back at all. His travels eventually brought him to a place that humans called Viridian City. There was a place there that seemed a particular attraction to humans. they called it a Gym, and they brought Pokémon they had caught and made them battle one another in contests for a badge that was awarded by a man that oversaw the building. The Gengar found this mildly entertaining, and stuck around the area. He hid himself well, avoiding detection and watching the battles from a safe distance.<br/><br/>One day, the ghost pokémon witnessed an especially exciting scene, when one of the staff was hit by a missed attack by the battling contenders. He thought nothing of it passed the hilarity of the moment. However, he did notice that the young girl did not return to work for a very long while after that. What did catch his attention, was that when the blue haired female did return, she would constantly look in his direction. At first, the Gengar thought it was mere coincidence. However, she eventually walked right up to him in an effort to start a conversation. Gengar immediately tried to hide, sinking himself into the floor. But the girl simply looked right down at him, even though she should not have been able to perceive his presence. This went on for several days; she trying to talk to him, and Gengar trying to avoid her in vain. So at length, he decided to give in and talk back. The two became good friends, and eventually reached a point of friendship where they were inseparable. She decided to call him Renzo, and the Gengar did not mind the name at all. Her name was Minora. Renzo has followed Minora since, seeing her grow a bit older and even through to becoming a Pokémon Ranger. <br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">Reserves:</span></strong> N/A<br/><br/><hr/><hr/></div></div></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://image.ibb.co/gqTJHn/pok.jpg)</div><hr/><hr/>The Pidgey had found Minora simply enough. The troubled Ranger had been out in the northern Kanto grasslands, attempting to recover a lost Pokémon for a lady in Pewter City. So far she was having no luck. The bird swooped down and caught Minora by surprise.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Gaah! Whazzat! Get Away!!!"</strong></em>Minora's arms shot up and covered her face, almost knocking a pair of field goggles off of her forehead in the process.<br/><br/>The Pidgy merely circled back around and hovered in the air. There was a note tied to its leg, and Minora noticed it only after she realized that she was not under attack from the friendly pokémon.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Is that for me?"</strong></em>, she asked plainly.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Pi!"</strong></em>, the bird responded. It circled around once more, looking very anxious.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Well, come on down then, silly!"</strong></em>, Minora extended out a gloved hand for it to land on, a warm and inviting smile on her face.<br/><br/>Although she was no longer officially on Ranger duty, Minora still wore her equipment. She wasn't sure if she was technically allowed to use it, but Minora had not been told otherwise by her superiors when she was put on suspension. She was expressly told she was<em>not</em>allowed to wear her uniform however, and she was currently dressed in a simple grey tank top and loose fitting cargo pants. Her right arm and side of her neck showed some of her burn scars from the lack of clothing cover, the rest hidden behind her rugged bottoms and boots. The young woman paid no mind to the occasional stares she got on her way out of town that morning. Many of the locals already knew her story, and those that didn't were not usually rude enough to inquire about the ugly marks. Fortunately for Minora, her fair face had been spared from the blemishes.<br/><br/>The Pidgey came down, and Minora swept her blue bangs out of her face before slipping out the rolled paper from the tying cord. Immediately, the sand colored bird lifted back off and flew away, leaving Minora staring up at the sky as it disappeared from view over the distant trees. Turning her attention back to the small parchment, she unrolled it.<br/><br/>Scrawled on the letter was instructions to come to Cerulean Cave. The letter had written in it that it's author had information about the disappearing legendary pokémon. Minora had already heard tell of the strange events surrounding those Pokémon. She had tried her best to look for any kind of lead while going about her usual business in Kanto, but had so far not gotten anywhere. Was this the break she was looking for? Who had sent the letter? And why go to Cerulean Cave? Wouldn't it be easier to meet somewhere inside a city?<br/><br/>As Minora pondered these questions, a familiar call came from behind her.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://image.ibb.co/mLQBcn/gengar.jpg)</div><em><strong>"Gar!"</strong></em>, it was Renzo, her Gengar Pokémon partner. He was almost always nearby, even if most people couldn't see him.<br/><br/><em><strong>"You think so too, huh?"</strong></em>, Minora nodded in his direction. Renzo pointed eastward towards the distant mountains, clearly advertising that he was all for investigating the mysterious letter as well.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Gengar!"</strong></em><br/><br/><em><strong>"You have a point"</strong></em>, Minora agreed, turning her pale green eyes in the direction her ghost buddy had motioned.<em><strong>"This is much more important."</strong></em><br/><br/>They actually weren't too far from the Cerulean Cave. The duo immediately set out and made her way through the grasslands to a secret passage down the mountainside. They had found found it a few months ago, and it saved them the trouble of going up Route 24 by circumventing the need for the road. It was a bit precarious, and riddled with wild pokémon that were a bit aggressive and territorial, but Minora and Renzo managed to get there with little incident. Eventually, they came up to the rocky mountain face that hid the mysterious cave mouth. The two looked into the ominous hole, a bit hesitant as to whether this was such a good idea.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Gen-gar!"</strong></em>, warned Rezo.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Yeah, I know. It could totally be some kind of trap. But I mean, who are we to be important enough for that? I'm not even on duty, and we haven't had a considerable criminal element here in Kanto for a while now..."</strong></em><br/><br/>A strange look came over Minora's face then, and her eye twitched as the wiring in her head flickered in a proverbial short-circuit.<br/><br/><em>"<strong>And who are they to stop us anyway, right?! Don't mess with us, you meanie teamies!"</strong></em>, Minora shouted into the darkness of the cave, her voice had changed into a brash growl.<em><strong>"We'll smash your heads open against the rocks!... and eat your brains! Mwahahahaha!"</strong></em><br/><br/>Minora hunched, over cackling with a temporary mania. Her booted feet were spread wide in an attack stance, and her hands poised themselves in a claw like fashion as she darted her head quickly back and forth. The female's normally pouted lips were pulled back in a vicious sneer and her colorful eyes were narrowed and malign.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Gen-GAR-gengar-gar-gar!"</strong></em>, Renzo laughed alongside his partner, both of them sharing in the twisted reverie before Minora snapped back to a less crazed sate of mind. Her face and voice relaxed, and her persona regained itself.<br/><br/><em><strong>"You suppose we should knock first? We don't want to be rude."</strong></em>, Minora joked.<br/><br/><em>"<strong>Gengar?"</strong></em>, Renzo stuck his tongue out at the notion, then walked halfway into the shadow of the cave. His body seemed to vanish as he did so, only the red-orange glow of his eyes as an indicator to his presence. He motioned Minora to hurry up and get going.<br/><br/><em><strong>"You're right. We're wasting time."</strong></em>, Minora nodded happily. She checked her Capture Styler before heading in, it was nearly at full charge. That should be more than enough to deal with any unpleasant incidents they might encounter. Minora couldn't rport to a Ranger station to charge it up, and had to rely solely on the help of electric type pokémon to keep her gear charged and ready for use.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Here goes nuthin'!"</strong></em>, the ranger female braced herself as she took a step toward the cave.<br/><br/>But before they could go in, a movement to the left of the cave caught Minora's attention. It wasn't a Pokémon, but a young male. Was this the person they were supposed to meet?<br/><br/><strong><em>"Oi! Hey! Who are you? Whatcha doin' here? Are you meeting someone?"</em></strong>, Minora called out to a brown haired man. He seemed to simply be waiting, sitting on some rocks outside the cave. How Minora had missed him in the first place was a wonder.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
