Hello, everyone, and welcome to my first story! I'm not the best writer, but I'll do my best. The name is a placeholder, so if you want, you can just send in suggestions through the reviews. I'll be the writer for the Rangers segments, and my friend Frisk will be doing the segments on Dungeons.
Deep in a hidden government laboratory in the Kanto region, an old man and a group of scientists are working feverishly at their stations, working to keep an odd-looking, star-shaped machine from self-destructing underneath the immense weight of the multiverses.
''Keep working! We can't fail, or it could mean extreme consequences!'' Exclaimed the old man, hurrying around the room, jotting equations down in a journal and issuing commands to his subordinates. He had worked much too hard to solve the energy crisis to have it fail now! He was so close to reaching the ''Promised Land'', a place filled with limitless energy, and he had planned to use this machine, an inter-dimensional warpdrive, to accomplish that. But during the test drive, something went wrong. They couldn't have predicted anything beyond their own realm, so when they discovered realms other than the ''Promised Land'', they were completely shocked. All, except for, of course, Doctor Beech, the aged wise director of the project. He was immediately in control, setting up fail-safes and ordering the others around.
However, despite his preparedness, and the feverish attempts of his co-workers, the machine ultimately failed, collapsing with a brialliant flash. After the group had recovered their sight, they noticed something very disturbing; the lab appeared to be sinking through the ground, as though it were quicksand. Most of the younger scientists had already been grabbed by the mirror-like miasma, but the Doctor and three of his assistants had already begun rushing from the facility, just barely making it out before it completely dissapeared.
Immediately, Dr. Beech was under assault by questions from the three younger scientists; a young, but bright recent graduate from the prestigious Almia Ranger Academy named Alexander von Schmirtz, another a young woman who had worked for Beech's deceased collague Rowan many years ago who went by the name Dawn (Who, to Beech's chagrin, insisted on calling him ''Professor''), and the third a slacker from the Unova Institute for a Better Future, named Collin. ''Doktor, vat vas zat? Ve nezer predicted zis in our calculations!''
''Professor Beech, I don't understand... it's as if the lab just vanished!''
''Hey, Beech, what's up with the lab just... disapearin' like that? That ain't how physics work. I should know, it's what I have my degree in.''
''SILENCE!'' roared the Doctor, and immediately the non-stop barrage of questions halted. Slowly, the Doctor turned to the group, and began talking very quietly, and rather shakily ''I do not know how, or why, or even what that was, but whetever it was, it can't be good. We need to report this to the Rangers and the League immediately, so they can be ready in case something else went wrong.''. Pulling out his PokeGear, an old, blocky, out-dated gray brick, he dialed the number to the head of the Rangers, Prof. Hastings. After quickly explaining what happened, he hung up, and dialed another number. While this was happening, the assistants took a well-deserved rest. After all, they had just finished running for their lives. Contacting the current champion, who went by the alias ''RED'', however, was proving very difficult, so he settled for the previous Kanto champion, Gary Oak, also known as ''BLUE'', and explained the issue. He said he would pass it through the League database, informing all of the major figureheads of Pokemon, including the Gym Leaders, Champions, and Elites of all regions, any trusted Trainers, all Rangers, and the Professors of each region, among other qualified individuals. Satisfied with his work for the day, Beech took out his only PokeBall, an archaic wind-up model, which contained a Pidgeoto from his days as a Bird Catcher, to fly to the nearby town for supplies before returning. Tossing the PokeBall on the ground, the Doctor calmly stated ''Pidgeoto, come.''. However, to his astonishment, the Pokemon not only disobeyed him, but picked him up in it's talons, carrying the Doctor over the area where the lab had vanished. ''Pidgeoto, what do you think your doing!? Relinquish your hold on me, this instant!'' exclaimed Beech, only to have the Bird Pokemon rise higher and higher. Finally, after reaching a height of about one-hundred feet in the air, the bird dropped him into the abyss below. Once Beech hit the miasa, he blacked out, his last thoughts of his assistants...
