《Ranger of the North》Interlude 1: Prosperia, the Deity of Life
Advertisement
Worship of the goddess Prosperia has spread from time immemorial. Her cult is the most widespread in all the kingdoms with temples found in every major city. The elves of Illyria consider Her their patron, but every race honours the goddess of Nature. With dominion over vitality and vegetation magic, She is a goddess of harvest and fertility, a guardian of farmers and gardeners, and a patroness of love and marriage. Prosperia is worshiped in most Northern countries, primarily by the people closely connected with nature, like farmers, lumbermen, or rangers.
Prosperia is as transient as nature. She takes on numerous forms but the most recognizable ones are the Maiden, the visage of beauty and youth; guarding young girls, encouraging love, and blessing marriages.
The Mother, protectress of women pregnant or in childbirth; women of every race, age, occupation, or social position have esteem for her.
And the wrinkled Crone; representing the maturity and wisdom that come with age. She provides Her voice to selected Oracles to disseminate divine knowledge amongst the masses and forewarn against coming danger.
The church of Prosperia has large and small sanctuaries spread throughout Earth providing shelter to all women in need. They also welcome female orphans who train as handmaidens of the Goddess. The adepts learn arithmetic, biology, botany, medicine, and the healing arts, they are also taught general knowledge of the world. After being admitted into the priesthood, young priestesses receive new robes of green and tasks from the abbess; usually in service of the rural community or one of the many temples spread across the land. Many travel around the world as midwives or healers specialized in illnesses of women and children, as wandering doctors, teachers, and governesses. Their services are in great demand by the armies of all kingdoms but priestesses of Prosperia take a vow of pacifism and neutrality. They refuse to take sides in any conflict and treat all injured with equality and kindness.

The Wolven Spire located in Atilan, capital of the north human Eidunn Empire is said to be the creation of the Goddess. It provides a permanent conduit to her Dominion allowing easier access to Nature Magic. Many elves travel from their home continent of Illyria braving the journey across the Frozen Gulf to undertake the Initiation. Successful trial-takers of the Spire obtain the Ranger, Wood-Mage, Druid, and their variant Blessings.

The Pokemon Ranger
Summoned from his unjust suffering in the mundane world, Spike finds himself before Arceus, who opts to send him to the world of Pokemon with the request to assist in maintaining the world's harmony. Afterwards, Arceus sends him off with the egg of a Riolu who will be his partner along the journey. Next thing he knows, he wakes up with a headache in the body of a five-year-old boy in the middle of a forest in Hoenn. Thus begins the journey of a Pokemon Ranger who will come to be feared by those hiding in the dark of the Pokemon world.____________________________________________________________Author Note:Please keep in mind that this is an AU (Alternate Universe). I will be taking aspects of the Pokemon world that I find to be the most fun and enjoyable and editing some things as I see fit. The world will contain some elements and characters from the anime, manga, and games, but it will also have some original characters and a mostly original storyline. It will not go fully grimdark like some gritty parts of the manga or some more realistic fanfictions, but also won’t be all sunshine and roses like the games. Overall, I do want to keep the story on the lighthearted side, but there will be some more serious plots as well. About 90% taking the story seriously and 10% wish fulfillment, I suppose. Note: I am also posting this fanfiction on Webnovel. No difference on release times for chapters.Also, as an update because of the people who messaged me about the multiple transmigrators, the existence of other transmigrators won't have much, if any, affect on the main plotline (or the harem if that's what those people are worried about). There will only be a handful of interactions with a few of the transmigrators during some of the more dangerous scenarios I have planned. I don't expect this to change anybody's mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, I edited the first chapter to make this more obvious.Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or speak for GameFreak, Nintendo, or Pokemon. I'm just a fan having some fun in his free time.
