This is a little fanfic I decided to make after playing Pokemon Rangers and beating it … Probably thought of it after the little vacation with Lunick and started fantasizing about it. . . lol
Anyway, it quite obvious it's over that and so on so forth so hope you enjoy!
This story will mainly focus on Solana. And possibly at some points Lunick (I've taken a good liking for him.. don't know why…?)
Note: If you see a ' surrounding sentences, that means that it is a thought or something that someone said to themselves or in their thoughts.
Hehehe… SolanaxLunick… This will be quite interesting to make so I'm excited too…Well then
Let's Start!
-
Since the event at Fiore Temple (with Gordor and the Go-Rock-Squad), not many big happenings have been going on for our heroine, Solana. She is quite popular around the towns and mainly in all Ranger Bases.
Unlike most rangers, she's known to be patrolling more than her hometown at Ringtown. Many see her as a ranger to patrol all of Fiore and have a great deal of trust in her.
Many still talk about her amazing captures of the three legendary Pokemon, Raikou, Suicune, and Entei. Though she has went through many rare experiences a normal any day ranger wouldn't go through, she knew there was no end to being a ranger.
Her story still continues…
-
Solana stretched her arms and legs long and flexed until she heard a pop from her elbows. She looked beside her to see her partner, Plusle, snuggles asleep next to her.
She suddenly bolted up, surprised, and woke Plusle. She yelled franticly, "DID I FALL ASLEEP?!"
Plusle jumped up to her shoulder, still dozing off.
Solana then heard a giggle and looked around to see Aria smiling, sitting on a nearby bench.
Aria laughed, "Yeah, you fell asleep, Drowsy."
Solana sighed, head down. 'Yes, Aria indeed was a rival, but also a good friend. And as of right now, I couldn't think of a good comeback.'
"I don't blame you though. You must be tired. Well, after witnessing all that you went through, I think I would be tired, too." Aria admitted, then went stubborn. "Huh? What am I saying?! I wouldn't be tired!?"
Solana couldn't help but laugh. "Your so stubborn."
She crossed her arms. "I had to look all over Fall city to find you! After reporting to Joel, you suddenly disappear again. You nearly gave me a heart attack once you, Plusle, and Lapras vanished under water to capture Kyogre. I hated that you just go missing again, making me worry whether or not I lost my fiercest rival."
'That's right.' Solana thought. ' I did go underwater to find that Kyogre was making all the ruckus around in Fall City… Then I had to capture it, which everyone was shocked to hear also. But there's one thing I remember clearly… Aria got teary-eyed for me… Ha ha … I don't think I'll ever get over it.'
"Thanks for worrying about me, Aria. So what did you need me for? Another mission, I'm guessing?" Solana clenched her fists in determination.
Aria perked up a bit. "No, they didn't say anything about a mission. For all I know, Joel told me to find and tell you that Spenser is requesting you to return to Ringtown."
"Really?" Solana's eyes brightened.
It's been a while now since she returned to home at Ringtown. More like a couple of months to be exact. There's been much patrolling for her, then a mission in Fall City which led up to her capturing Kyogre. And to make up for her days to come, Aria cried for her. (HAHAHAHA)
Aria smirked. "Yeah… you get to go back. Are you excited?"
Solana pumped her hands to the air. "Of Course!"
"Is it because of Lunick?"
"Wha-? What do you mean Lunick?" 'Why did she bring him up?? Huh?'
Aria shot a glance stabbing through Solana labeled "DENSE!" then said, "Never-mind, Slowpoke. Just say to him that I said Hi when you see him. And also tell him -" She whispered in her ear.
Solana waved good-bye and toward the Fall City ranger base. While heading toward the base, many greeted her as she passed by. She smiled awkwardly as she replied back to each of them.
Solana was stopped by a girl, Joel's Secret Admirer, who was madly in love with him.
"Are you going into the Ranger Base?" The girl asked.
"Oh, yeah. You're that girl who's madly in love with Joel, right? We met before..." Solana then remembered. 'Now, I remember … She got angry with me always hanging out with Joel and the others. She thought I was getting all friendly with him. He's out of my league.'
She replied. "Yes, I am! And I'll shoo and kill all the bugs flying around him!"
Solana smiled weakly. "Well, do you want me to say hi to him for you?"
The girl's eyes sparkled. "That would be perfect! Please go ahead!" She started pushing Solana through the sliding doors of the ranger base. "Go!"
Once Solana was in and the girl ran away, she thought, 'Man! That girl is feisty.'
Plusle squirmed on her shoulder, shifting in to a more comfortable spot to continue snoozing away. Solana giggled.
Then she noticed Joel … who was singing to himself again. Though, this time it looked as if he was quite dejected.
Solana waved her arms and legs which captured his attention. He coughed in embarrassment.
"Ah… Sorry…"
She shook her head. "No… It's alright. Is something wrong? Normally, you'd be singing a happy song out of habit while riding on your Dodrio. There has to be something up with you singing "I'm Blue". It's like seeing piloswine flying through the sky."
He was stunned by her comparing then back to rejection of him being compared to a piloswine flying. "It's nothing important. I don't think you'd care."
"Nonsense!" She put her hands on her hips. "You shouldn't think like that now! You're a leader! You should be optimistic!" She then whispered. "You didn't lose to Spenser again, did you?"
He crawled into his glooming loser corner. "Yes…"
Angered, she lightly whacked him on the back of his head. "Don't let that bring you down! Your like me … I'm always somewhat losing to Aria, but that just means I could get better! Don't give up, Joel!"
He rose in willpower. "Your right! Thank-you, my darling Solana."
She played along. "For you, my sweet Joel."
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Aria asked as she walked in. She was quite disappointed her greatest rival and her leader could be so playful.
The two laughed and Solana went ahead upstairs using the elevator
The doors slid open and she entered the large room. She met up with some other rangers who called her over.
One ranger asked, "You're going to take the Dragonite bus right?"
She nodded.
"What are you going to do this time?"
Solana shrugged and waked up to the field where Dragonite reigned.
Dragonite instantly saw Solana and roared. He flapped its wings and stomped his feet lightly.
The Dragonite's Ranger, whom Solana calls Draco, smiled, knowing this reaction.
Solana stepped forward and said with a choppy voice, "We meet again, oh, Dragonite."
Draco laughed and asked, "Where are you off to this time, Solana?"
She proclaimed, "Ringtown Home sweet Home"
He nodded, adding. "It's been a while."
Unexpectedly, Dragonite picked her up and zoomed off into the air.
She began flailing her arms and legs out of fear, but stopped after she noticed the view. She remembered the first time she saw the fantastic landscape, holding on to Spenser as they held on to his Fearow. The sight was still breathtaking, then and now.
It wasn't too long until they flew above Ringtown. Without warning, Dragonite let his grasp go and Solana began to drop.
Her feet met the ground, but soon the ground met her face. Plusle rolled off not to far away.
"Ow…" She opened her eyes to find dirt and dust flying all around her. Standing up, she saw a young boy staring right at her.
He said, "Did you know?"
She had a bad feeling.
He continued. "Did you know that most Rangers are able to stick their first landing from the Dragonite bus? But watching you…"
She dusted herself off. Note-to-self: Stick Landing before this boy says anything more of it…
Plusle jumped on top of her head. It complained, "Plah! Pla pla pla!"
Solana apologized and made her entrance to the home ranger base. With her sparkling entrance she proclaimed, "I'M …home?"
There was Spenser standing in an unusually dark corner. Gloom radiated around him, and there was Murph standing a little farther from him with his partner, Slowpoke.
Solana edged close to Murph who noticed her and whispered. "What's wrong with the Leader?"
Murph replied quietly, "Don't know. He's been like this ever since Joel reported that …YOU CAUGHT A KYOGRE?!" It was obvious that it just came to his realization.
Solana jumped at his sudden outburst.
Hearing this, Spenser straightened up and turned to look at the two juniors under him. His expression softened into a smile that Solana adored to see.
Spenser muttered, "Yes, I too was as surprised to hear that Solana captured a Kyogre. " He looked at her. "To think, a Kyogre, a legendary pokemon! I was so proud, amazed. You deserve this praise from me."
Her face glowed out of happiness. This was just the same back at the temple! Ah, I feel great now.
He continued, "The reason I was down in the dumps was because … After seeing you capture such legendaries and accomplishing so much, it came to my understanding that there nothing more I could teach you."
Murph added. "Yeah, sometimes I think you're so great that I believe you should teach me and Lunick, even the Leader!"
Spenser shot a death glare at Murph, which instantly shut his mouth.
Lunick…? Solana looked around. She noticed that Lunick wasn't there. Where'd he go?
Spenser brightened up. "Lunick is out on another mission so you shouldn't worry. For now, you should rest up here. We are also short on rangers so tomorrow I'd like you to patrol here for once. Check out how everyone was doing while you've been busy."
Murph smiled. "I've been doin' a good job. Right now I'm in the middle of a mission as well!"
Solana cocked her head. "Really now?"
"I knew that you would be inching to know! My mission is to make a theme song for myself!"
Spenser mumbled, "How…how interesting…?"
Murph began singing, the last time that Solana and Spenser would hear anything that whole day.
The Next Day…
Lunick still hadn't returned from his mission from yesterday.
Solana wondered why. She had an important message for him (which she didn't understand) and wanted to tell him before she forgot.
She was on daily patrol around Ringtown. She met up with Larry and his Taillow, the ones who gave the opportunity for her first mission as a ranger and the Hiker who said that he wanted to ditch Ringtown when she first came. The other townspeople were very nice, too.
Returning to base, she found Spenser charging his Styler and Murph now adding dance moves to his theme song.
Spenser noticed Solana and said, "Hey, Solana. You're report?"
Solana nodded and reported that nothing was going wrong. The town was as peaceful as it should be.
"That's good to hear… Are you tired for any chance at all?" He asked quite curiously. He seemed psyched about it also.
She wondered and admitted. "Sure… I guess you could say I'm at least tired." '
I mean, DEAD Tired! Gah! Missions one after another! Then people mauling over how great you are as a ranger!! Then Pokemon attacking you out of nowhere! Tired isn't the greatest word for it!!' She kept it all in.
"That's perfect!" Spenser grinned.
"HUH?" She was dumbfounded.
He continued, "It's good you're tired. I guess Cameron's planned vacation in Summerland for you and Lunick won't be a waste after all!"
Solana took a while to register all this in mind. "Cameron… Summerland… Me and who?"
Murph jumped in. "You and Lunick! You weren't the only one working hard, you know. While you were out in your adventures, the dude had a time of glory for himself. You two have been going out on separate missions one after another!"
Spenser laughed. "Neither of you may have not noticed, but I guarantee you that you two are rivals at heart. There's no denying that as a fact. He's been doing really well and also deserves this vacation."
"But aren't you short on rangers?" She asked.
"Don't worry about that. The Leader and I are here!" Murph assured. "We can take care of things here so have some fun and enjoy yourselves."
Solana was surprised. "Wow, Murph."
"What?" He asked.
Spenser laughed then said, "Lunick is already over in Summerland. You better hurry and use the Dragonite bus."
Solana said her thanks and good-byes, then quickly set off with Dragonite.
Finally! A vacation! Summer breeze, resting under shady palm trees, and all with… Lunick?
Lunick is probably my best friend in Fiore and was the one who joined up with me through all the tight moments. Going against the Go-Rock- Quads, against Gordor, their leader. I was scared, but he was there, to give me company and help me anyway he could.
He's been a ranger longer than me, so of course he would be better. And he's really nice, but could be really random at times.
When we were up in the Go-Rock-Squad's base, he said that he was asked to accompany me, but would've come up anyway to help me even if he wasn't asked. Aria made a comment about that later, making him …
Suddenly an arrow labeled "CLUELESS!" stabbed through her.
Now that I think about it, Aria would always say something to the two of us that makes Lunick turn red, blushing. Hmm… Does Lunick like Aria? Or is it the other way around?
But most of all, I absolutely love his Minun! It's so cute and is perfect for my little Plusle. Aria says I pay more attention to Minun then Lunick and I shouldn't do that.
Before she knew it, she was standing in Summerland, in front of the ranger base. Before entering, she knew something was wrong.
Plusle leapt up and down next to her. "Plapla.. Plah plah!"
"You're right. It is hotter than usual." Shrugging, she picked up Plusle and entered the base.
Inside also radiated gloom and disappointment. Cameron was turned facing the wall behind him, clouds, gray ones, hung over him. Lelani and Percy waved toward Solana and Plusle went ahead to play with Percy's Politoed.
Solana thought, 'What's up with ranger bases being so murky lately?
Cameron slowly turned around and said, "Solana, it totally stinks I had to call you over for a vacation at such rotten times…"
No! Those words just flashed "RUINED VACATON!!" all over it.
"Of all times, during the vacation I planned for you and Lunick, the underground volcano acts up again."
Solana narrowed her eyes. "What's wrong with the volcano?"
Cameron looked at her. "There have been a lot of tremors lately. Slight earthquakes and lava has also been spotted as well."
The ground started to tremble, shaking horridly. After a few moments, it completely stopped.
Cameron continued, "I sent Lunick over to check out what was going on in the ruins since he had already been in there along with you."
'That's right. Lunick and I wanted to check out the Four challenges in those ruins and ended up passing all four which we weren't suppose to do, but had to for the sake of the Charizard's life.' Solana remembered.
Lelani stepped in. "Lunick was really excited to see you again. He said he'd do his best to finish the mission before you came."
Hearing this, Solana asked. "Where is he?"
Cameron answered, "…He hasn't returned since I sent him there." He saw Solana's face fill with worry, and then he sighed sadly. "I know these words would come from a heartless task leader, but … I hereby declare that your vacation is cancelled."
Solana and the others were surprised at his sudden change.
He continued on as a Leader, "I know how heartless this is, but I'm assigning you a mission, Solana. You will go to the ruins and look for Lunick. Once you find him, team up and figure out the mystery behind the tremors and earthquakes. This is your mission. Now, go."
Solana took a while, not responding. She heard Percy whisper, "I've never seen the Leader this scary…" She nodded and answered, "I accept this mission."
With that, she called for Plusle and quickly made her way to the Ruins.

Well… Did you enjoy? I hope you did. I love playing with the characters. It's fun.
I probably messed up some characters, but I think I fixed it this time…
