The Ranger Net Stories.
---
Deoxys.
---
As anyone who has completed Ranger knows, there are four Ranger Net missions. As such, there will be four chapters in this story, each focusing on a different legendary. Also note that the legendaries (aside from Manaphy, of course) are familiar with humans.
A new chapter will be loaded approximately once every three days.

I was lost.
All around me were wild Pokemon, playing in the forest I had woken up in. They seemed to not notice the legendary in their midst. One Linoone even went so far as to playfully Tackle me! I transformed into my Defence forme, though, and forgot about it.
Then that odd human came.
The man started saying something, before waving an odd device in the air, which controlled a spinning-top that zoomed towards me. I transformed again, this time into my Speed forme, and tried to make a break for it.
Too late. A strange, glowing band of energy surrounded me, seemingly trailing from the spinning-top followed by more and more rings. Was this human…attacking me?! Screeching in rage, I took my aggressive Attack forme, and slammed into the circles. The other Pokemon backed away, looking surprised, as the white energy came again. I began to feel weak as it trapped me, and quickly attacked the line again. This human was attempting to kill me, I was sure of it! Enraged, I broke free and fled the forest, leaving the human standing there.
It was a few days later, and I had just gotten settled, causing rockfalls in the nearby cave. Hopefully, I would trap and kill some humans in the process.
Then that girl showed up.
She couldn't have been more than fourteen human years. Knees shaking, she approached me, initiating the white bands that had so angered me earlier. Glaring at her furiously, I attacked the line with a powerful slam. Another human stood beside her, yelling something - I did not understand him. Again and again, I attacked her line, weakening her. And again and again, she kept encircling me, determined. Finally, I succumbed.
But not for long.
I tried transforming - and it worked! Taking my Defence forme, I broke free of the mass of lines, floating away into a deeper part of the cavern.
It wasn't long, though, before that girl and her friend showed up again. This time, I noted, she was sporting a Magnemite. Smirking inwardly, I accepted the challenge she posed, seeing how she would fare against me in my daunting Defence forme.
This time, she took a different strategy. Instead of circling me quickly, she timed her attacks, to catch me when I was neither attacking nor defending. Just like before, I eventually fell prey to the white lines, only to transform and zip away in my slippery Speed forme.
Would she continue to follow me? I only drifted a room away, to see if she would come. Unlike the older human who had attacked me before, the girl seemed to be trying to tell me something. If she did attempt another capture, as I imagined she would, I almost thought that I would be able to understand her.
And, of course, she came again. I gently floated towards her, before feinting to the left, just out of her reach.
Was she…smiling?
The boy next to her said something, and she nodded, shooting the little disc from the top of her metal device. In this forme, I could easily stay out of the reach of the bands, or attack with a band of powerful energy orbs. However, with the aid of a Geodude, she managed to stall me long enough to circle me.
Funny…I thought I heard something, in a language I could understand clearly, as she completed a final circle.
--Don't worry…I mean you no harm…please, stay still…--
Then, I knew - it was that female human, using those rings to talk to me. Even as I broke free again and flew off, I let her see me take my Normal forme.
The only forme I would let her catch me in.
And yes, of course she came again, armed with a Graveller this time. The male looked puzzled - probably because his friend was grinning from ear to ear as she approached me. I think she knew I had heard her.
The first thing I did was take my Defence forme. The white lines had circled me twice before I decided to use my Speed forme to break through the energy bands. Once again, she only circled me a couple of times, waiting for when I would use my Normal forme.
It had been a good ten minutes of battling this girl and her disc before I used my Normal forme - and she took the advantage, using Graveller to pin me down before circling me furiously. When it seemed I had been caught, she relented, stepping back a little as I came to rest on the ground.
I did not attempt a transformation. She had got me.
--Thank you…now, go free…-- I heard her say, and grateful, I flew off.
It was only a few minutes later, however, when I sensed an outpouring of emotions below me. Curious, I flew low over what appeared to be a human settlement. Inside a large building, I heard something familiar - the voice of the human that had provoked me in the forest. It seemed he was truly sorry for what he had done by trying to capture me.
Forgiving him, I called out loudly, before flying away over the forest, over the ocean, to the triangular island I called home.
