Prologue
The room had a handful of teenagers waiting for Professor Oak and the other professors who called them to come to gather together. Fortunately, they all knew each other and were friends. These were people who had abilities but never truly had a chance to show the world what they could. They were always on the sidelines while people they knew saved the day.
No one knew why they were called here. There had been no threats to society that the police couldn't handle. Everything was peaceful for the most part. Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galatic, Team Dim Sun, Go-Rock-Squad, and Team Plasma were all taken care of and their activity was kept a bare minimum if any at all. Pokemon Pinchers still existed and caused problems but it was nothing that the Pokemon Rangers could not handle.
"Hey, Ashleigh, do you know why we're all here?" asked a teenager with orange-brown hair and blue eyes who wore an orange t-shirt that was too big for her named Emily.
"No," replied Ashleigh, a teenager with brown hair and blue eyes. "Sorry Emily."
"How long do they plan on making us wait?" asked a teenager with curly brown hair that was kept back in a pony tail, blue eyes, and glasses. "Seriously!" Her name was Ashley.
"I don't know, Ashley," Ashleigh replied. "Try to be patient."
"I'm not patient, you should know me well enough by now!" Ashley replied.
"Hey, I hear them coming in," said a teenager with short brown hair, blue eyes, and pink glasses who was named Erica.
"Finally!" exclaimed a teenager with long black hair, brown eyes, and was much taller than the other four girls. Her name was Cassidy.
The professors walked in to be faced by eager sets of eyes watching them and waiting. Professor Oak began to clear his throat while Professor Elm fixed his own lab coat.
"I'm sure you are all wondering why we summoned you here," Professor Oak started.
"Hell yeah," mumbled Cassidy.
"There is a dangerous organization on the loose and we need help stopping them before it's too late," Professor Oak continued.
"Why us?" asked Erica.
"Couldn't you have picked people a little better?" asked Emily.
"You each have your own abilities and your skills are needed for this," replied Professor Birch.
"Still, why us and not Ash Ketchum and his friends?" asked Ashleigh.
"Because you're more suitable for the job," replied Professor Rowan. "This will require undercover work, as well as the ability to piece clues together."
"Wow, you expect me to do a better job than him?" Emily asked.
"Well, you will be with other people," Professor Elm replied. "The organization is called Team Eon."
"They're active in Sinnoh, Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn," added Professor Birch.
"In order to address this dire problem, each one of you will be paired up to cover the affected regions. And so, you will be paired up according to your abilities," Professor Oak said.
"Wait, why do I get this feeling you're pairing us up with other people and not with each other?" Ashleigh asked.
"Well, I just hope my partner isn't a pain in the butt," said Ashley.
"Emily and Cassidy will pair up Barry and Paul in Sinnoh; Erica will be paired up with Jimmy, Jack Walker, and Solana in Johto; Ashley will be paired up with Trip, Gary, and Ben in Kanto; and Ashleigh will be paired with Kellyn, Lucas, and Brendan in Hoenn," Professor Oak listed off.
"Alright! We're together!" Cassidy and Emily exclaimed before giving each other a high-five.
"Solana and Jack are rangers and Jimmy's a trainer, right?" Erica asked and Ashleigh nodded. "Well, this is going to be interesting."
"Who in the world are the people I'm paired up with?" asked Ashley.
"Gary used to be a trainer but is now a professor, Trip's a trainer, and Ben's a ranger," replied Ashleigh.
"So, do you know the people you're paired up with?" Ashley asked.
"I know Kellyn's the ranger that rescued the Riolu that my grandpa raised to be the kingdom's guardian," replied Ashleigh. "Brendan and Lucas on the other hand, I have barely any clue."
"Brendan's my son," Professor Birch replied.
"Lucas is my assistant," Professor Rowan replied.
"Oh crap! I don't know the guys we're paired with!" exclaimed Emily suddenly.
"I hope that they're cute," said Cassidy which made Erica, Ashleigh, and Ashley sweat drop and face palm themselves.
"Now, you should get going immediately," said Professor Oak.
" Alright," replied the girls.
"We'll hand you your boat tickets when you leave the room and you have about a day to get ready," Professor Elm said.
"It is recommended that you go about as if you're on a pokemon journey, it will help you to remain undercover," Professor Rowan said.
"Good, I was planning on participating in gym battles and contests in Hoenn anyways," Ashleigh replied.
"Ashleigh, quick question: how did you know which of the two of us was paired with what group of boys?" asked Ashley.
"Easy," replied Ashleigh before pointing at the floor. "The floor has who is paired up with who on it with pictures."
"Wow," said Ashley. "How come I didn't notice that before?" Ashleigh just shrugged.
"Ashleigh, Lucas will be accompanying you on the boat to Hoenn," Professor Rowan said.
"The other Ashley will have to meet her teammates at the Vermillion City port," added Professor Oak.
"Cassidy and Emily will meet Paul and Barry in Sunyshore City in Sinnoh while Erica will meet Jack Walker, Solana, and Jimmy in Newbark Town in Johto so she will be accompanying Professor Elm." added Professor Birch. "Ashleigh with a G.H. will meet Brendan and Kellyn in Slateport City after Kellyn arrives in Littleroot Town and meets Brendan." All the girls nodded, got their tickets, and then left the room to go prepare for their mission and journey.
