Pokemon Rangers: The Darkness Descends
-Okay, so I just recently finished Pokemon Rangers: Shadows of Almia. When I finished that, I had the idea for this.
-This all takes place in Hoenn, my favorite region!
-Hope you enjoy the story because I'm going all out with this one~! :D
~Chapter One~
"Oh my little girl!" My mom cried. "I'm going to miss you so much."
I rolled my eyes slightly. "Mom I'm 16, I'm not a little girl anymore."
"But you'll always be my little girl" She sniffled. I smiled slightly. My mom pulled me into a hug. We broke apart when my little brother, Matt, was pulling on my shirt.
I picked him up and gave me a hard stare in the eyes. He did it pretty good for a three year old. "Annabelle can't go!" He said. Matt was wary about me going anywhere. Instead of having separation anxiety for my mom, he has it for me. My mom is almost always at work so you can say he became attached to me.
"I'm sorry Matt, but I have to go. I'm going to become a big, strong Pokemon Ranger so I can protect everyone." I explained. His dark eyes were still staring into my ocean ones. "But, I have a job for you."
Matt looked up at me expectantly. "What is it?"
Smiling, I said, "To protect Mommy when I'm gone, okay?" He nodded eagerly. I put him down when my mom yelled that the bus to the boat was here to pick me up. The Ranger School was at Dewford Town. I crouched down and Kissed Matt on the forehead. "Be a good boy for Mommy." He nodded. I ruffled his brown hair. I walked out the door. My mom was waiting for me, handing my things to the driver to put in the bottom compartment.
"Good bye Annabelle." She said while kissing me on the cheek.
I gave her a hug. "Bye Mom. Try not to over work yourself." She nodded and a boarded the bus, which only had two other kids on it. My mom picked up my brother, who was now bawling. I picked a seat in the middle and waved out the window. Once I couldn't see them anymore, I turned to the bus driver. "Was I the last stop?"
"Yes, Ma'am." He said. I sighed sadly. Even though I really wanted to become a Pokemon Ranger, I was still going to miss my family. "It's going to take us about three and a half hours to get from Littleroot to the docks. From there it will be only about half an hour because the boat's so fast."
"Got it, thanks." I said. I noticed a girl across the isle. She was leaning on the book bag against the window. Her was a long, light blonde that came down to the end of her back. Her hair was so straight it made mine look unnatural. My hair was a wavy, dirty blonde that came down to my mid-back. All of a sudden the bus hit a bump and the girls bag fell off the window, causing her head and body to fall along with it. I couldn't laughing to myself. "Heh heh, fail."
The girl sat up and looked at me. Her eyes were grey, but could be passed off as blue in different lighting. "Hey you, what'd you say?"
"Who me? I said nothing…" I grinned.
The girl gave me a confused look. "I thought I heard you say 'fail' though."
"Sorry, but I did." I said quickly. Her eyes widened at me and I started waving my hands back and forth. "Don't worry it wasn't in a bad way! I swear that I've done worse."
The girl just laughed. "It's okay." She giggled. "I'm sort of used to it by now. Oh, I almost forgot. My name's Marlene, Marlene Wulff." She held out her hand. I shook it and smiled.
"I'm Annabelle Chizuru. Friends?" I questioned.
Marlene smiled. "Definitely."
Four hours later…
"Ahh finally off that bus!" I said while stretching my arms and legs.
Marlene was doing the same. "I know right?" When I finally say her standing up, I realized how much taller she was than me. I was only a mere five feet, she looked almost six. A few minutes later a man walked out.
"So you three must be the new students Marlene, Annabelle, and James. I'm Mr. Jacobson. Depending on what you score during the placement test, I will be your teacher." We all nodded in understanding. "Follow me. Don't worry, your bags are being sent to your rooms."
The three of us walked with Mr. Jacobson. Marlene leaned down and whispered, "What do you think the test's going to be?"
"Dunno…" I shrugged. Mr. Jacobson led us into a room.
He pulled open a cabinet and took out three red and blue things. "These," he said as he handed us them, "are your school stylers. They can only be used here. They have the capture, release, and communication functions. Press the button with the line down the middle to activate capture mode. To release the Pokemon press the button with the cancel sign in the middle. The other one is for communication with other sylers you have yours hooked up with. Once you become a real ranger you will get a full styler."
"Umm… Mr. Jacobson… What is the placement test?" The boy named James asked.
Mr. Jaconson chuckled. "Well, since you asked we'll start with you Mr. Adams." James reluctantly stepped forward. "All three of you will be performing a simple capture. Your job is to try and to get the Pokemon to become your friend. Try to let your feelings connect and reach the Pokemon your trying to catch. Remember to go in circles."
James' capture took about seven minutes. He was going well until the Pikachu started sending out small electric shocks, which broke the capture line several times. Mr. Jacobson smiled at James and told him he did a good job. "Okay, so which one of you is Annabelle Chizuru?"
"That would be me." I said confidently. I stepped forward, hoping I could to the least bit better than James.
Mr. Jacobson looked at me. "You ready Annabelle?" I nodded nervously. He opened another cage and a Mudkip came out.
"Here I go." I said activating my styler. The blue antenna came sliding out. I aimed at the Mudkip, who was walking around. I moved my left arms in circles and the capture line came out and started circling closer around the Mudkip. One it realized what was going on it started to use the move bubble. I quickly jerked my arm up, still circling a bit, so the capture line would go above it. Once it finished I brought my arm back down and looped even faster, trying to capture it before it could try to break the line again. Out of no where the line closed in on Mudkip and a circle came around it. After three more second of looping the circle around Mudkip burst open and tiny lights came glittering down and disappeared. "Yes." I breathed.
"Capture complete." The styler said. Mr. Jacobson was looking at me with a surprised look on his face.
"That was amazing." He said. "A minute and 37 seconds. That's a new record." He shook my hand. "All we have left is Marlene Wulff."
Marlene stepped forward. "I'm ready to roll." She said excitedly. Mr. Jacobson chuckled for the second time and opened the third cage. A Plusle came tumbling out. Marlene started looping. An unexpected tackle caused her capture line to break, but she quickly recovered. A circle closed in on Plusle about thirty seconds later. After that it burst open and the same glittery lights came falling down. I heard her styler say 'Capture complete.'
"Another amazing job. A minute and 43 seconds." Mr. Jacobson said as he shook Marlene's hand. "You now have the third place record Ms. Wulff." Mr. Jacobson turned to me. "And you, Ms. Chizuru, hold the first place record. Just wait one minute and I'll have your rooms and schedules printed out." After two minutes we were given our schedules and told to release our Pokemon. After we did that we were told to go to dinner.
"Congrats on the first place record." Marlene said.
I smiled. "Likewise for the third. I think we both have some real potent-" I cut my own self off because I tripped and fell on the floor.
"Yeah, you have potential alright." Marlene joked.
