Chapter 1: The Fall

Summer's POV

I jolt up at the sound of my mom's voice. "SUMMER MINAMI!?" she shouts. "Your vacation from being a proper Ranger is over! You aren't in Johto anymore, so go with Ben to your post!"

I grumble, but get up, leaving my bowl of popcorn and an awesome movie behind, then head towards the door, slapping my styler onto my wrist.

"See you Summer!" my mom calls from the foyer as I burst outside and throw out my hand.

"Captureeeee on!" I exclaim, send out the disc towards some Staraptor flying overhead. I swing my arms in circles, before closing my hand into a triumphant fist.

"Capture complete!"

…

No One's POV

Two pokemon fly at extreme speeds through the air, twirling back and forth in a graceful way. Unfortunately, behind them, are two pursuers.

"Just give up already!" one of the enemies shouts. "You won't get away!"

The pokemon don't listen, and zoom through the air even faster.

"Tch! After them!"

Suddenly, the two turn around in horror.

"W-w-who are you!?"

Summer's POV

I raise my hand up in the air. "Ahoy!"

"Red goggles...a yellow scarf..." one babbles.

"And a capture styler!" the other adds. "You're...a POKEMON RANGER!"

My VoiceNav begins talking-"They are using pokemon to attack. Capture them and calm them down."

"Roger!" I confirm, and point my arm straight ahead. "Let's go Pidgeys!"

Whirlwinds spiral around me, and I urge my Staraptor to swerve to the side as I shoot out my disc. "Captureeeee on!"

I whip my hand back and forth. "One Pidgey went to flying school." I dodge a Wing Attack. "One Pidgey apparently didn't stay home." Some of my hair is blown straight up from a Gust. "One Pidgey ate pokemon food." I almost fall off Staraoptor. "One Pidgey ate none." I hear a click. "And one little Pidgey went 'coo-coo-coo' as they flew home."

I hear a ding. "Capture complete!" The two in green on their floating devices glare at me as the red and blue pokemon disappear into the distance.

"Hmph! Not only did our subject escape, she caught our Pidgeys!" the second growls.

"It's hard to think that someone pulled off a midair capture..." the other says nervously. "You're something else..."

"Oblivia is peaceful!" the second cuts in. "We don't need Rangers like you! So a good way to dispose of you is OUR PLASMA CANNON!"

I yelp, as two glowing, green blasts fly my way, but duck.

"W-w-w-wha!? How did that Ranger manage to dodge my attacks!?" the first exclaims.

"Heh, you're good, but try us both at the same time!" the second yells, and they shoot at me.

Twice as many plasma balls fly my way, and I jerk Staraptor backwards so that they miss. Several more pink and yellow ones come my way, but they all pass their target, aka ME.

"Agh! My Plasma Cannon's battery is dead!" the first shrieks.

"Me too!" the other says with worry. "Maybe we shouldn't have tried just scaring her with them..."

"Let's ram her!" the first yelps.

"Are you sure you wanna do that!?" a voice says, and Ben appears on my right.

"Ben!" I cheer, then glare. "You are late, Mohawk boy."

Ben gives me a look. "This is NOT a mohawk."

"Hmph, whatev."

"Now there are TWO Rangers for you to deal with!" Ben declares, turning to the two in green.

"Plasma Cannon's useless, more Rangers popping up,...I say, let's RETREAT!" the first suggests, both are about to scram, when a voice comes-"Wait!"

Ben and I almost slip off our Staraptor when another figure pops out from below us.

"Leader!" the two yelp. "They are Pokemon Rangers! Save us!"

"I can see that," the man says, and I stare. He is a blonde with a red stripe, and a maroon flying contraption with clothes to match; his eyes are especially strange...cause they're red and all.

"This is the first time I've seen flying Rangers, though," he continues. "Two aerial brats putting on airs with their obnoxious goggles and yellow scarfs. What a joke."

I glare. "Pompous jerk."

"Who's a joke?" Ben says, and I can practically see steam coming out of his ears. "You're the leader of a team who can't even handle a couple of 'brats'."

The red eyed one furrows his brow. "You there..." he says. "Do you know the consequences of mouthing off like that?"

Ben doesn't answer.

"I have the perfect sport for a mouthing off Ranger like you. It's called Skydiving, with no parachute! Take that!"

"AGH!" Ben yelps.

Idon't even think, I just act, and throw myself into the way of the Plasma Cannon blast.

Ben's POV

I open my eyes as white speckles fly away, then glance around. "Summer?!" I yelp. "SUMMER!"

"Sacrificing themselves for another..." the blonde says. "How bold. You should at least thank your partner for saving you. Cause now they're hurtling headfirst towards the ocean!"

I feel anger well up in my chest. Summer...has been my partner since the beginning. Ever since...Ranger school.

"She saved me, and now she's hurtling face-first into the ocean!?" I exclaim. "YOU JERK!"

The blonde smiles at me. "That girl..." he murmurs. "You seem special to her." He lets out a small laugh. "Maybe we should make you into our lucky charm."

"SAY WHAT-!?" I demand, but I'm knocked out from behind.

Summer's POV

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" I shout as I flail about in the air as I approach the ocean. "CRAAAAAAAAP!"

I tug at my belt, and barely manage to put something on my mouth before-SPLASH!

I watch as my Styler floats down and bounces off a Mantyke, who looks at the shiny thing once before swimming away with it.

"Nghhh!" I gurgle.

"URGENT!" my VoiceNav says. "Reattach the Styler! Reattach the Styler!" I flick the thing in annoyance. As if I don't already know that!

Speeding off after the Mantyke, I spin my arms in pinwheels, trying to get closer. Pokemon sure move fast in the water... I look up an the Mantyke veers around a corner.

DANG IT!

I tumble to the side, and breaststroke after it. "Cccmmjhhherghh!" I command, which in gurgle language, means: come here!

The Mantyke suddenly loses interest, and drops it down further into the depth.

Diving down, I land on an oddly smooth, flat rock with beautiful mosaics shaped as wings drawn on it before retrieving my Styler from where it dropped on the center.

"DANGER, DANGER!" the VoiceNav begins squawking. "Massive object approaching!"

I look back and forth nervously.

"DANGER, DANGER! Powerful current heading this way! The current is...z...zzzz...zzz..."

I try to move, but the pull is too strong. A large shadow rears up behind me, and I'm sent spiraling away.

Yeah yeah...a pretty basic beginning. BUT THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS BEGINS! :P And I'm gonna have Obliviashipping and a little Summer x Red Eyes.

Anywayyyy, tell me what you thought!
