For those wondering my other stories will be updated soon! I really wanted these posted though!
AN: I've come up with a lot of new stories and here it my next one! This has only minor connection to the games. Some characters that are needed and such but I don't think any major players. If you're big on event wise then this story, I would have to say takes places after Guardian Signs. BTW, Aria is not the same as in the first ranger game, I just like the name. Happy reading!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except plot and OCs.
Chapter 1
"Capture on!" the ranger said as she launched her capture disc of her styler. The aggressive Pokémon roared at the ranger and attempted to swipe. Skillfully the ranger jumped out of the way and started to create the loops around the Pokémon.
The preteen watched in awe. He couldn't believe what was going on. He was going to visit his grandmother in another town and on his way a fire type Pokémon came out attacking anything in sight. It was obviously agitated and he attempted to find out what was wrong only to be trapped by fallen, burning trees. He looked back to the ranger to see she had cut off the loop and the capture line solidified before connecting with the Pokémon. The Pokémon glowed white a second and blinked around. Also by that time another ranger appeared on the scene.
"Empoleon Rain Dance!"
"Empoleon!" The water and steel type shouted as clouds appeared above. Instantly the clouds dropped a rainfall that quickly dowsed the fire.
"Capture Complete." The female said as she then ran to the Pokémon's side who was panting with a small smile reassured that everything would be alright.
"Lucky we were in area or this could have been worse." The male said as he looked around at the charred areas and burnt trees. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Area Rangers still seemed to be only just arriving on the scene starting damage and public checks. The preteen looked to the Pokémon standing next to the trainer as it shook. Obviously the poor Pokémon was scared. He instantly looked away. He was just as bad and hated he couldn't have helped.
"This guy is okay now too. Seems to have fell into a thorn bush and couldn't get them all off so my guess was he attempted to burn them. I've removed them and put on medication." The female ranger replied standing up after she treated the Pokémon.
"Good work. Kid, you okay?"
The 'kid' could only nod as he stared up at his heroes.
3 Years Later
Ranger School, Almia Region
November 3rd, 10:00 a.m.
Ms. April smiled at her students. They were all so bright and were going to make excellent Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics one day. Ever since they came into her classroom they showed they studied hard and knew about each lesson before coming to class. In fact, they were just about to start the next lesson or discussion picking up right after yesterday's when they talked about the Ranger Union. Finally, the day she would stump them.
"Now class, who knows what title and organization is after the Top Ranger and Ranger Union?" Ms. April asked.
"Nothing." A student said. "As soon as you become a top you work there. That is the place every ranger hopes to be one day."
Ms. April chuckled to herself. Her students, no matter which year, always got this wrong. The organization's job was a secret to most of the public thus ending why most of public didn't know about them. This was why people who wanted to enter under the union were taught about them in school just so they are aware of their existence.
"Actually..." Ms. April was about to correct them before she was interrupted.
"The Guardian Society is next." A student said.
Ms. April kept a firm tight on her jaw so it wouldn't drop. Someone knew it and he wasn't guessing; he knew. She turned and looked right the light brown haired boy in the front row.
"That's right." She said. "Jace, do you know about the society?"
Jace smiled before he spoke. He waited for this moment all year. He took a breath and said, "The Guardian Society is a group of rangers that rank above any other ranger. They have many names, Guardian/Elite/Master Rangers or even just Guardians. They have very similar duties to Top Ranger and report to the Chairperson or Professor Hastings. Each region has one Guardian Ranger who is the overseer. These rangers are called in when the job too dangerous for normal rangers or in the possible event of a world catastrophe."
"There is no such placement." Conner, another student, sneered.
"There is in fact. I've seen it!" Jace commented.
"No way!" Conner shouted.
"Enough." Ms. April's stern voice echoed. Both students stopped their quarrel and looked away in shame. "Now, as I said, Jace is correct. After the events of Oblivia two years ago the Union decided it best to create a force of Rangers to handle those kind of crisis. The Guardian Society is the master promotion to a type of regional ranger. These rangers are the best as they come who are called upon in true crisis, but otherwise work as Top Rangers."
"So Top Rangers are part of the Guardian Society?" Aria said who wanted to be an Operator.
"In a way yes, they are or were. However, the Union doesn't have public profiles on Guardians. They just appear to the people as a normal ranger. They aren't listed, but not many people actually research rangers. One could walk in the front door in a ranger uniform and we wouldn't know." Ms. April explained.
"Sounds like a myth or an extra load of work." Conner said as he slumped down in his seat.
Ms. April giggled. "Actually you're not wrong. The Guardian Society was once said to be myth by the public. After what happened last year the Union deemed is necessary for the public to know of their existence. Jace, you said you've seen them."
"I just know it was one." Jace commented. "When I was younger and visiting Almia I was going to Pueltown to visit my grandparents. However, on the way a fire started and two rangers saved me. When I tried to find out who they were that saved me I couldn't find any and all I got was a message saying 'Just doing our jobs'."
"Maybe it was a new ranger not yet listed." Conner countered.
"It couldn't be." Jace rebutted. "All rangers have profiles made as soon as they graduate or are inducted."
"Very good Jace, you remembered that." Ms. April said. "What I will say is that it might have been a Guardian, it might not, we won't know. For now, let's be glad that there are people out there who will protect our world with their lives if it comes down to it."
"With their lives?"
Ms. April could only nod. With that said they continued onto the next part of their lesson in silence.
"I have your placements for your 1-Day Internships. Please come up and receive them." Ms. April said at the end of class as she circled around to her desk. All her students crowded around her in attempt to find out where they were going. "One at a time in a line!"
At her shout all the students stopped and quickly got into a line. Jace was shoved to the back of the line by Conner and only glared at the boy who just smirked.
"You can take my spot." A voice said. Jace looked to Aria.
"Nah. You don't have to that."
"Why not?" Aria asked. "It's either you go last or next to last. Plus Operators help out the rangers."
Jace smiled. She was right in every sense and simply took her spot without another word. She was his only friend here. He knew upon leaving home he was prepared that it was going to rough and it didn't help he had very few friends. Actually, Aria was the only one who acted like his friend. Jace wasn't sure if she considered them as such.
"Vientown! Really? That blows! That place is so boring nowadays!" Conner shouted.
"You want to be a Mechanic and there is a perfectly good one there." Ms. April commented. "Next! Oh good, the both of you. You're both going to the Ranger Union."
"What?"
"Really?"
"Yes. You are the top of my class in your respected fields and the Union is the best place for you to learn. You will set off tomorrow morning. A ranger will meet you at entrance of Pueltown to take you the rest of the way."
"Thank you." The both said excitedly.
Ranger School, Almia Region
November 4th, 7:30 a.m.
Tomorrow couldn't come quick enough for the two. After a night's rest and some restlessness they were prepared for the alarms to go off bright and Pachirisu. They were up before the clocks and met by the gates in order to start their adventure. They admitted they were happy to intern at the same place. It made the travel less lonely.
"Hey losers!" Jace and Aria looked behind them and saw Conner running up to them. They both sighed seeing him. He was the last thing they needed to start their great day. "You're going toward Vientown so I might as well tag along."
Jace and Aria looked to one another. They didn't have much of a choice. He would follow them regardless of what they decided.
"I guess so." Jace sighed.
"Well let's go." Connor said taking the lead ahead of the two.
"I wonder what we're going to do." Aria questioned as they walked across the bridge. "I hope we get to help out on some super-secret operations!"
"Doubt that. They'll make you do grunt work." Connor sneered.
"I don't know, but I hope it has to do with the work of the Union. I would be seriously disappointed if it wasn't."
"As rangers? Operators? Why would you be there?" Connor asked.
"It's not about who you are becoming." Jace answered. "It's about what you do for people."
Connor simple snorted and moved on picking up his pace toward Vientown which was steps away as they exited the road they were on.
"Bye Connor." Aria said as she pulled Jace the opposite direction toward the road leading to Pueltown. Connor sat there at the start of Vientown and stared as the two left him there.
"Jace you okay?" Aria asked.
"Yeah. I just...three years ago this place had another fire and I was in Almia visiting my aunt and uncle. On our way back I decided to explore the forest and next I knew it was on fire. This is where those rangers saved me." Jace explained.
"Don't worry about it! See the upside! This got you on the path to be a ranger!" Aria said.
Jace smiled as he thought about it. She was right. He would have never met a ranger if he hadn't come here that day. He wouldn't had worked so hard to be accepted into the school become the top of his class. He wouldn't be here today. He looked around, he was glad the place was thriving so well.
Snap.
"Did you hear that?" Jace asked.
"Yeah, I hoping I didn't."
"Something's following us. Has been since we left Vientown." Jace commented.
"Maybe it's a docile Pokémon and it won't bother us." Aria said hopefully.
"Capture on!" Jace yelled as he turned around and launched his capture disc in the direction of a bush where he heard the snapping noise.
"Ow!"
"Ow? What Pokémon says ow?" Aria asked as peered out from behind Jace.
"I'm not a Pokémon nitwits." Conner said coming out of the bush and tossing the capture disc back that reconnected returning to the stylist.
"What are you doing?" Aria asked.
"Going with you. Vientown is so boring and obviously something is going to happen at the Union so I might as well follow you. I didn't expect to get caught." Conner said as he then glared over at Jace.
"Whatever. You're going to get in trouble if you don't show up."
"Yeah right. Those Area Rangers wouldn't know much nor will they probably notice." Conner said.
"They're rangers like any other!" Jace defended.
"Like I said. What. Ever."
"Hello down there!"
Each of the students then looked up and saw a girl coming down on a Staraptor. The bird landed next to them and the girl jumped off in front of them. Two other Staraptors were following her and landed behind the first.
"Hello." They all greeted.
"You must be from the Ranger School. I was told to meet you at Pueltown but I got impatient and decided to come meet you out here." The area ranger said. "Oh. I didn't know there was three of you."
"There isn't." Jace deadpanned.
"I'm a new addition." Connor said.
"Well still, I only brought three Staraptors so it looks like one will have to carry you. Are we ready?"
"Wait? We have to ride the Pokémon!?" Aria said in a panic.
"Yes. How else were going to get there faster?"
"Walk?"
"It would take you at least another hour or two if that. Staraptor can fly us there in a matter of minutes."
"Aria, you can ride with me if it makes you feel safer." Jace suggested.
"Really?" Aria asked. Jace nodded and she nervously agreed.
"You can open your eyes now." A voice said in Aria's ear.
Aria opened her eyes and saw they were gracefully flying over Altru Park and by the tower.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Aria said.
"Yeah it is and think we get to see this from up here."
"Ah!" Aria said as she gripped Jace tighter as she realized they were up in the air.
"Don't worry, Staraptor is careful. Right?" Jace asked.
"Staraptor!" the bird replied with a smile. Aria looked to Staraptor and Jace. It wasn't actually so bad after all. Would she be flying anytime soon? Probably not. If she had too? Yeah, she wouldn't mind it too much.
"We're almost at the union! Look there!" the ranger said to the young students.
All three students looked ahead of them and saw a giant tree sprouting from a building. There is was. It was more impressive than what they had seen in their books. Despite they were only going to be there for a day it was going to be the best day.
AN: That's chapter one and it's just the start! Haven't even encountered the other main characters yet and the adventure that will soon begin! Please let me know what ya think in a review! I also hope you'll favorite and follow in the meantime! Bye friends!
