Wrangling was a difficult profession.

That could be said of most jobs out in the frontier, of course, but it was of particular note when it came to Wrangling. For it was the process of capturing, taming, and training wild pokemon that wanted to kill you into a proper partner. After all, everyone needed a partner- how else could you survive on the frontier?

Joseph, a Wrangler in the north of Unova, was quickly learning that fact. His jobs had gone well enough so far, but how long would his skills get him by all alone? Not much longer, he reckoned. A tip from a friend and rumors from travelers provides the solution he needs.

He just needs to get her to stop trying to kill him.
