Chapter One. From The Future.
The year is 4528. Due to the efforts of the G-Force, an elite policing unit set up as an offshoot of the G-men, crime is about to be eradicated. Permanently. Only one criminal remains. A PokeMorph mutant named Regli.....
Regli was the last of the truly great criminals. Having being disfigured into looking like a Regigigas after an unfortunate accident in a laboratory where he was working, he proceded to try and make his way to the top, through a series of brutal slayings, extortion, blackmail and other various illegal activities. However, G-Force countered this by giving five officers the technology to become G-Force Poke Rangers. Soon, his cohorts were arrested, and his empire smashed to the ground. However, Regli refused to take it lying down. He hunted down four of the five G-Force rangers and saw that they were destroyed. With only one ranger left, and the entire G-Force on his tail, Regli had nowhere to run.......
"He's in there!!!!!" John Trent called, as the SWAT team arrived. He groaned, before seeing his commanding officer, Wesley Cooper, stride over.
"Commander Cooper." Trent said, saluting. "We have him. Let's just send the SWAT team in and be done with it. No more crime. Ever."
Cooper sighed.
"John." He said, softly. "I know that you are eager to finish the job that we have done for the last hundred years. However, I am hoping to do this without the need for the SWAT team."
Trent looked at the building, which was surrounded by other G-Force officers, their Growlithe watching the exits, as well as pointing their guns at the building.
"Are all exits blocked?" Cooper asked.
Trent nodded.
"Yes, sir." He replied.
"Then, we can proceed with it."
"But, what is your plan?" Trent asked.
"It will soon be no longer be an issue." Cooper commented. "Soon, we'll have Regli in custody and we can all go home."
"Damn G-Force." Regli muttered, as he tapped away at the keyboard. "They sent all my friends down, and they intend to do the same to me."
Regli was a human, who had the hulking arms of a Regigigas, as well as the left half of his face, which was a shiny white, with red, blue and green spots. He also had green hair.
He continued to tap on the keyboard, as the huge arch behind him crackled to life. The solid metal shone with the reflected light, as the Time Door opened up.
As Regli turned around to look at his creation, or rather the creation of one of his scientists, who had met with an unfortunate accident, he heard footsteps.
"Well, well." The unfamiliar voice remarked. "That is most impressive. Too bad you'll never get to use it."
Regli spun around, and almost froze with horror.
"No, you can't be here!!!!" He said, angrily. "Once I use the Time Door to go back in time..."
"I didn't think you'd use it for anything else."
"I will destroy you and G-Force permanently, making a better future. For me!!!!!!!"
The figure stepped into the light, revealing a figure clad in a red and white costume. The top part of the costume was mainly red, with white streaks across the arms. There was a white utility belt at the middle of the costume, which had a weapon holstered at the side. The pants part of the costume was also red, but minus the stripes, and there was a pair of white boots at the base. The face of the figure was obscured by the helmet the figure wore. A helmet that was red, with a black visor, that was shaped like a flame. It also had a horn on the forehead of it, and the mouthpiece was also white.
"It's not going to happen!!!!!" The figure exclaimed. "I will stop you from doing it."
"Then try it, Red Ranger." Regli taunted.
The figure went to grab his weapon, before pointing it at Regli.
"G-Force Blaster, engage." He said. "You are under arrest for countless murders, several breaches of the peace... And being an asshole."
"You talk big, Crane." Regli said, smugly. "But, when it comes down to it, you really aren't cut out for the job."
"Damn you!!!" Crane yelled, as he lunged forward...
Only for Regli to grab his arm and flip him to the ground. The hulking figure then stamped on his stomach, badly hurting him.
"How does that feel?" Regli smirked, as he picked Crane up and hurled him against the wall. Crane yelled in pain, as he smashed into the metal frame and fell to the ground.
"You came alone!!!!!!" Regli continued. "Where are the other Poke Rangers? Oh, that's right, I killed them."
"You bastard!!!!!" Crane spat, as he tried to get up.
"Crush Grip!!!!" Regli called, racing forward and grabbing Crane by the throat. He then slammed him into the ground, hearing Crane's bones jar, even above his yell of pain.
He then turned and headed to the Time Door. But first, he stopped to pick up a large briefcase with a biohazard symbol on it.
"So long, Crane." Regli laughed. "I'd like to say that you were a worthy opponent, but we both know that I'd be lying."
"Don't... Don't do it!!!!" Crane urged, as he struggled to get up.
"You'll never even know that you existed." Regli smirked, as he stepped through the Time Door and vanished.
"Noooooo!!!!!!" Crane yelled, as the energy field vanished, leaving him alone in the room. Then, almost on cue, the controls for the Time Door exploded.
After a few seconds, he summoned up the energy to get to his feet. It was pointless to do anything else. Regli was gone, and there was no chance of chasing after him.
"G-Force, return!!!!!!"
Within moments, his armour vanished and he returned to normal. A man in his mid twenties, with light brown hair, wearing the uniform of G-Force. A black blazer with grey pants. On his wrist, he wore a large grey object that was strapped there. It had four large buttons upon there.
"This isn't good." He muttered.
"So, it's over." Cooper remarked, as Crane sat in front of him. "Regli is gone, and if he's in the past, then we can't get to him."
"Where would he go?" Crane asked, looking around. "What is there in the past?"
"He's a psychopath." Cooper commented, as he sat down across the table from Crane. "But, why would he..... Did he say anything about what he might have planned?"
Crane thought about it.
"He did say something." He said. "Something about not knowing that I ever existed."
Cooper scratched his chin.
"And he said that he was going to try and destroy G-Force." Crane continued. "Oh crap."
Cooper looked at him.
"It isn't beyond a possibility that Regli has gone back into the past to try and stop G-Force before it ever got off the ground, as an effective law enforcement agency."
"By killing the people who set it up....." Crane said, looking at his wrist, where his G-Force morpher remained. "Making everything we've done useless."
Cooper paused for thought.
"It really got off the ground in 2014 as a main stream group of law enforcement." He said. "Before that, it was just an offshoot designed to hunt down super criminals."
Crane stood up, and paced around the room.
"What can we do?" He asked. "If there's anything we can do at all, then..."
"Actually." Cooper replied. "There is one thing."
"Crane Edwards. You have served G-Force well. However, now it needs you more than ever. Several months ago, we gave you and four others, the G-Force morphers. You used them well, and they have helped us reduce crime to one criminal. And even he isn't in this time."
Cooper paused for breath, before continuing.
"We anticipated that this may happen." He said. "So, we did research into time travel. We have a portal that can only be used once to send someone back to a certain point in history. There's no coming back. If you are willing to do it, we will send you back to 2014 and you can capture Regli."
Crane looked stunned at what Cooper had told him.
"However, there's more." Cooper continued. "The G-Force morphers are locked with the DNA of their last users. As Regli killed them, Arceus rest their souls, they can no longer be used by other agents."
He smiled.
"But, if you find their ancestors in 2014, then you should be able to unlock them. Convince them to help you, and then, and only then, will you be able to stop Regli."
Crane sighed.
"What about my family?" He asked. "My stuff. My life."
"There's no way back." Cooper replied. "As I said, I can't force you to do it. But, I would urge you to think about it."
He turned to leave.
"That is all, Crane."
Crane watched as Cooper left the room, before putting his head in his hands.
"Damnit!!!" He muttered, looking at the G-Force morpher. "Sometimes, I think this was a curse."
Crane was walking home, when he paused to look around. He lived in Cervase Point City, and had always been proud of it. The City was clear of pollution, litter was at a minimum, and crime was practically non existent.
There weren't even any homeless people wandering the streets.
He stopped to watch a few children play soccer in the park, and thought about how their future would be one of peace. One without violence and fear.
"Damnit." He repeated. "This is as close to an urban paradise as possible. Unless Regli destroys the past. Why was this me?"
Crane turned around, and headed back to the G-Force building.
"Hello, again." Cooper said, as Crane came into his office. "What can I....?"
"I'll do it." Crane replied, slightly out of breath. "I'll go back in time and stop him."
Cooper smiled.
"What made you change your mind?" He asked.
Crane looked out of the window.
"This place is perfect." Crane replied. "I'm not going to let that hybrid spoil it."
"I knew you'd come back." Cooper said, as he picked up a briefcase and handed it to Crane.
"What's in here?" Crane asked.
"The four other G-Force morphers." Cooper said. "They are your only clue to tracking down the ancestors of the other G-Force Poke Rangers. When the correct morpher is within a hundred feet of one of them, it will vibrate. The vibration will get stronger the closer proximity."
"So, what?" Crane asked. "I just wander the streets, waiting for vibrations?"
Cooper smirked.
"That's exactly what you do." He replied.
"What about the zords?" Crane asked.
Cooper's smile faded.
"Those zords were only recently excavated." He said. "There's a map in the briefcase. They should still be in stasis at those points on the map. However, they can only be unlocked..."
"By the ranger with the morpher." Crane remarked. "I see."
He looked around, at Commander Cooper.
"If you see my Mom, just tell her that I love her." Crane said. "Oh, and can you get someone to look after my Growlithe."
"Of course." Cooper smiled. "Now, if you'll follow me to our own Time Door."
Crane picked the briefcase up, and followed Cooper out of the room.
"Where did the morphers come from?" Crane asked. "I want to know before I go back."
Cooper paused.
"They were found." He said. "They were found in the Merlin Plateau, a few feet from a cave which we later found held the location of your zords."
"You think that someone put them there?" Crane asked.
"They didn't get there by themselves." Cooper smiled. ""Listen to me. There is one important thing you need to do. Your priority is to find the other four humans who have similar DNA to those in the DNA lock on the other four morphers. Then, train them into a team capable of defeating Regli. If he has the same abilities in the past as he did in the future, then you need to be careful. And also, get the zords back before Regli finds them. He will undoubtedly try to do it, changing the future. Remember, everything you do has consequences for the future. Try not to...."
"Just let me get there." Crane said, groaning. "Every second I talk, I'm wasting precious time."
Something then occurred to him.
"What if...." He said. "What if I meet my ancestor?"
"For the love of Arceus don't kill him." Cooper urged. "Otherwise you'll fade out and die right in front of him or her."
"Right." Crane replied. "Understood."
He followed Cooper into a lab underneath the G-Force building.
"Where will this end up?" Crane asked. "Surely there needs to be another door on the other side."
Cooper smiled.
"It will drop you off in exactly the same position." He said. "I've checked the archives, and in the year 2014, this was an abandoned building in a city known as Eon City. So, you should be okay."
"Understood." Crane replied, as he saw an object very similar to Regli's Time Door. "So, once I go through there, I'm on my own."
Cooper gestured to the G-Force morpher on his wrist.
"That is your link to the future." He said. "Your link to who you really are. Never let that out of your possession."
"We're ready to open the Time Door, sir." A lab technician called, as Crane looked up.
"Then do it." Cooper ordered. "Oh, and before I forget."
Crane looked up.
"We have discovered that Regli stole a case full of chemicals." Cooper said. "What he could do with them in the past could be devastating. Not so much in the future, because everyone has an immunity to it. But, in the past, they could have strange effects on both humans and Pokemon."
"Just something else for me to worry about then." Crane grinned.
The two of them waited five minutes, before the portal sparked into life.
"Well." Crane said, shaking Cooper's hand. "It really has been great."
"Arceus wish you well, Agent Edwards." Cooper replied, returning the gesture. "It has been an honour working with you."
Briefcase in one hand, Crane headed forward until he was stood millimeters from the blue energy field.
"This had better work." He said, before turning round to salute everyone in the room. "I'll stop him!!!!"
"Arceus speed Crane." Cooper called, as the G-Force agent turned and stepped through the portal.
Then, everything exploded in a burst of bright light.....
Author's Notes.
Yeah, so that's it. The first chapter of my Poke Rangers story. Will I write more? Only time will tell.
I wanted to write something different in my spare time, and I was inspired by other stories in this genre to do so. Why not, I liked them both when I was a kid.
Right, I'm going to throw it out there. I need reviewers to submit a green ranger, a blue ranger, a yellow ranger and a pink ranger for the rest of the story. Appearance, personality, family, possible Pokemon, oh and colour, and so on.
I'll only start work on the next chapter when I have them. So, get them over speedily!!! Please!!!
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it.
Don't forget to review!!!!! Please!!!!!
