Goldenrod Owsla

The Johto colony branch of the Owsla is a branch of Nidoran patrollers roaming that colony's outskirts and keeping order, moving all around in areas such as Rt.34, 35 and 36, and sometimes Goldenrod City and Rt.37.

Comprised of mostly Nidorino and a few Nidorina, the Owsla is a police force (a secretive order in the Alternate Timeline) whose members are tasked with keeping the exploring kits safe and in order, defending the colony from predators, and providing other specific services to the colony in times of need.

The Owsla are led by a three year old Nidorino named Hamada (in the AU they are led by Vinollo).

Original Timeline

In the original timeline, the Owsla comprise the mostly peaceful police force of the Colony, who roam around each ring of the forest in vigilance for possible threats which include predators and human intruders. They operate under the sunlight but always hidden by the shadows of trees and bushes, hence they are majorly unseen by humans (and thus don't register as mons available in Rt.35 or Rt.36). The police force is comprised mostly of Nidorino, though since the Kanjoh Arc they have started taking females into the force.

Owsla patrols roam the forests in groups of two most of the time, with the partnering usually remaining constant during a season but subject to change by mandate of their leader.

The Owsla have a special once-a-semester training schedule in preparation for the seasons of more activity. Regular activities involve sprinting across the edges of the colony, in particular the south and west edges as they follow the path of eg.: the Magnet Train, and battling sessions in the eastern mountains.

The policing of the forest has been grossly surpassed at least once, during the Team Rocket campaign in Johto where many Pokémon were captured. However the inner rings of the forest remained secure.

After Silent was assigned to field duty for PEFE research, the Owsla chose one among their own to follow him as a team member per divine mandate (which they interpreted from friendly seers from Ecruteak). Maekrite earned the position, though he is not the only member known to be in away duty.

While not officially Owsla members (at least onscreen), both Teala and Pierce have received the full, ISO standard Owsla training regime under supervision of Maekrite.

Alternate Timeline

Besides the Nidoran Army, which is a AU!only addition, there is a “secret” group of Nidoran guarders who roam the colony either alone or in groups of two or three, and carry out missions on their own or in behalf of the Breeding Cabal, either inside or outside the Colony. These are called the Owsla and are considered Nidoran “civilians”.

At the time of the events in the AU the Owsla is comprised of about 20 basic-morph Nidoran and up to 12 Nidorino and Nidorina, and is headed by a Nidorino of name Vinollo, with power and experience approximate to a in-game level of 35 plus knowledge of forgotten (ie.: Gen1 and Gen2) TMs and breeding moves. Vinollo operates usually alone and is also equipped with military-grade armor.
