Normal POV
Inside the command center of the Space Patrol Delta Base, Kat, and the commander, Anubis Cruger, are hard at work.
"Sir, I'm picking up a strange energy reading," Kat, SPD's Tech Expert, says.
"What kind of energy reading, Miss Manx?" Commander Cruger asks.
"A ranger energy reading, An intense spike in the morphing grid is spiking somewhere outside the city," she explains.
"Can you hone in on the energy reading?" He asks.
She nods. Meanwhile, in a cave outside the city, Tracy Blankenship, a perky young Pokémon trainer, is sitting inside the cave with her trusted partner Pikachu she nicknamed Quick Draw. She has large blue eyes, long blonde hair, and an appropriate build for a 14-year-old.
"Pikachu, I am going to find out where we are." She says.
Tracy rises from her sitting position. Pikachu gets up and tries to follow his beloved trainer out of the cave.
"Don't worry buddy," she says sweetly. "I'll be okay. Stay here, all right."
She takes some Pokémon food out of her backpack and sets it in front of her partner. Then she leaves the cave and hopes that she'll find out where they are. Tracy walks into the city and reads the large sign. "Welcome to New Tech City."
"Well, at least now I know where I am. I should go and tell Pikachu," she says.
She heads back to the cave so she can tell her best friend the good news. But before she can, a Broodwing flies in towards her. Back at the SPD base Cruger calls the Rangers to the command center.
"Rangers, Kat has discovered a new ranger signal outside the city." He tells the team.
"Sir, you're kidding, right, we don't need another ranger; we're doing just fine the way we are," Sky argues.
"Sky, I hate to disagree with you. We could use the extra help now that Grumm has returned." Bridge reminds him.
"Sorry Sky, but Bridge does have a good point," Kat says.
"Kat, have you found where the signal is coming from yet?" Z asks.
"Not yet. I am still searching." Kat answers.
The alarm goes off and on the screen they see a teenage girl being attacked by Broodwing. Cruger tells the Rangers to suit up to help the girl out, and the Rangers yell,"SPD Emergency." Meanwhile, in the city, Broodwing is holding Tracy by her neck.
"Together we can destroy the power rangers!" Broodwing says.
"Two things: one, who or what are the power rangers, second, even if I knew who they were I would never help you." She says.
"You are lying. I know you know what I'm talking about." Broodwing yells.
"I'm serious, whoever you are, just put me down, and I'll get out of your hair," she says.
"Nice try, but I'm not falling for that," Broodwing says.
"Please let me go. I'm just passing through; that's all. I don't want to cause any trouble." She says.
Broodwing is getting sick of her constant whining, so it tightens its grasp around Tracy's neck. Broodwing tries to persuade her to come to the dark side.
"No, I'll never work for the bad guys." She says.
After she said that, the bat throws her against the wall and her vision starts to get fuzzy and blurry. The only thing she can make out is several teenagers standing in front of her protecting her from Broodwing.
"SPD is always interfering with my plans," Broodwing says.
The image of him flying away is the last thing she remembers as everything slowly turns black. She still can hear several other voices, but she can tell that they are friendly.
"I think she's okay, she just got knocked for a loop. We should take her back to the base." Bridge says.
"Good idea. Let's go." Z says.
Inside the SPD infirmary, Tracy wakes up, and her eyes nervously look around the room.
"Where am I?" Tracy asks to no one in particular.
"Hi I'm Z, and this is Sky Bridge and Syd. You're at the SPD Academy, a state of the art academy that trains cadets to become power rangers." Z explains.
"Well thanks for your help, but I think I've caused you, nice people, enough trouble. I'll just be going now." Tracy says sweetly.
She starts to sit up straight and everything in the room begins to spin. She feels someone place their hand on her shoulder to lay her back down in the bed. Tracy's vision returns to normal a few seconds later. She looks up and sees the doctor's face.
"I guess you're the doctor, huh?" She says.
"Yes, I'm Doctor Felix. What's your name?" Dr. Felix asks.
"Tracy Blankenship." She answers.
Commander Cruger walks in the room. Tracy nearly jumps out of her skin seeing the Alien dog's appearance.
"Don't worry; that's the commander," Bridge explains.
"So let me get this straight, a big blue dog is in charge of the base?" She asks.
"Pets as authority figures. You get used to it," Bridge says.
"I see our new friend is awake," Cruger says.
"It can talk too. Let me guess, his name's Scooby Doo," she jokes.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Tracy. His name is Doggie Cruger." Bridge says.
"That works too I guess, but who was the freaky looking bat in the punch bowl?" She asks.
"The bat that attacked you, his name is Broodwing," Commander Cruger explains.
"OK, what does this have to do with me?" She asks.
"Our sworn enemy Grumm that we defeated four years ago is back to seek his revenge," Commander Cruger says.
"Revenge?" Tracy says in shock.
"I see great potential in you, so would you consider attending S.P.D.?" Cruger asks.
She thinks about it for a minute and is unsure about what to do. She knows that Pikachu is worried about her.
"What have you decided?" Cruger asks.
"I don't know. Me, a power ranger? I don't think I have what it takes," she says unsurely. Then added, "I need to check up on my friend."
"I can tell that from the way you handled yourself when Broodwing attacked you that you'll be an amazing member of our team," Cruger says.
"Well, can I think about it, then give you my answer?" she asks.
"This is a one-time offer," Cruger explains patiently.
"Well," she says hesitantly, "I guess I could give it a try."
"Is that a yes?" Cruger asks.
She nods slowly, and Cruger welcomes her to S.P.D.
How am I going to tell them about my secret? Tracy thinks.
