The sky is the limit – Chapter 1
Sights, Legends, Screaming and the Sky
Summer pov
At the moment, I'm probably witnessing the most beautiful sight in my life. The Oblivia region, said to be a very nature filled place, with many legends, and supposedly beautiful scenery's, well, I haven't even set foot on the islands yet, but I can see that one part of that's true already. The fluffy clouds below me, the pale blue sky that was starting to fade to an orange hue above me, and a gentle breeze flowing past me as I soared upon my captured Staraptor, its muscled and feathered body, standing out in a black and red comparison to the scenery, several other flying type, and bird types flying around. My messy, brown shoulder length hair swaying in the breeze, well the front parts did, but the messy sections at the back that stuck out to the sides a little didn't move too much at all. I sighed, adjusted my red, but blue lensed flying goggles and tugged my bright yellow scarf a little closer around my neck, my blue and white uniform doing little to keep in some heat, sure the scenery was nice, but I was above the clouds, and boy, was it cold!
I suddenly had a thought, where was Ben? My Partner 'in crime', best friend, and try as might not to, my secret crush. I sighed again, he probably went ahead without me noticing, or I passed him somewhere, but either way, I would find him when we landed, I mean it wasn't the first time we had been separated, not the first by far! I sighed again and settled into the fluffy black feathers of the Straptors back, and moved my legs a little, they had been in the same position for the whole flight, and I couldn't afford to let my legs go to sleep, and I sunk once again into my thoughts and stayed that way for about another half an hour, until I was rudely interrupted.
"Laaaaaaaaaaaaa!" a red and white blur of a Pokémon flew past me at high speed, only just missing clipping Staraptors wing, and two people on strange flying contraptions, I dunno, UFO's maybe, that where dark green, and a male and a female where riding on them, chasing after the Pokémon that had just passed me, whatever it was. But a Pokémon was a Pokémon, and I'm a ranger, so I guess I've got work to do! I moved my legs to a proper position and bent low over Staraptor's back, using my legs to elevate myself from its back, and holding into its back by hooking my fingers under where its wing meets its back instead of grabbing its feathers to hold on, and urged the large flying and normal type to give chase.
"STAR!" he gave a large cry and with a flap of his wings, he started to gain speed. Soon enough we were fairly close behind the …. UFO things, the people on them seemed to be after the red and white pokemon. The upper portion of its body was mainly white, while the lower portion was red. It had triangular ears, and a patch of red with a smaller patch of white, on its face, on its back where two jet plane-like wings, and on its chest was a light blue triangle symbol.
I was shocked. My pokemon identification training told me that this pokemon was the legendary Latias, part of theEon duo of the Hoenn region. It seems that the part about the Oblivia region having rare sights was true, and I was not about to let this one be hurt but two people on UFO's!
"Hey, stop chasing Latias! If you don't I have the authorization as the thirteenth top ranger, Summer Minami to place you under arrest of assault of a Pokémon with a legendary status" the two people seemed to be surprised at hearing my voice, they suddenly looked over their shoulders at me, but they maintained the same speed.
"A Pokémon ranger?" the female said turning to her male counter part. "I thought that there was only one ranger in the Oblivia region, and that it was a male ranger, wasn't it?"
"It was, but look closely, have you ever seen a flying ranger before? I mean the yellow scarf and red and blue goggles, and the fine styler on her wrist, and the fact she said 'top ranger' is enough to convince me" they both looked at each other for a moment, but again, still retaining their speed. "but, lets test and slow her down at the same time, just for fun. Go, Pidgey!" I raised an eyebrow at him, as the said, small cream and brown colored flying and normal types emerged from the clouds below. Both of the people started to smirk at me, but I smirked right back.
I counted down mentally in my head, lifting my left arm up, so it pointed toward the pidgey, still holding on with my left. '3, 2, 1'.
"Capture on" I said with determination as the spining top ejected from the top of my glove, and I pointed my middle and pointer fingers toward my target, I started to swing my arm in across my body, controlling the top as it started to glow blue, leaving a trail as it circled around the targeted pidgey, the glow growing brighter with every completed loop. As soon as one flock of the normal and bird types where caught, they would be replaced by another flock, so I kept capturing, and slowly, the people's attention was drawn from the legendary flying away from them, and to me, just like I wanted. the Latias turned her head, and my brown eyes caught with its large yellow ones, a single message was sent from and to each other.
'thank you' and she sped off of her jet plane like wings.
As I finished capturing the last of the pidgey, who I released right away, the two people noticed that Latias had escaped.
"Oh no! All that had work, down the drain!" screeched the female.
The male was positively growling. "Well, it's her fault, so let's take it out on her!" the two looked at each other and positioned themselves next to each other, their hands on what looked like a group of buttons at the end of the …. I don't, handle bars maybe. Vertical ones. But any ways they held their fingers over largest of the buttons, and of course, they were red. I knew that they were going to try something, I hooked my fingers back where they had previously been, and prepared for the worst.
"Take this! Plasma cannon!" the two basically shouted in unison, and a multitude to bright green, and bright pink, energy ball I think, where fired from two different machines, I urged the straptor to dodge the left, angling my body to do so, and bringing my stomach and chest closer to the large birds back, then with a single flap of its large wings we flew over another barrage. Leaning to the side a bit the staraptor tilted and closed its wings halfway, preforming a perfect barrel roll to dodge the next shot, before angling upwards, flying up and then fully closing its wings and letting gravity do its work to help avoid some more shots.
By this point, the strange people where getting very frustrated. I kept up with my tactical dodging until I heard a mechanical 'click' sound, and the female grunt screeched.
"no! the battery's dried out!" she looked franticly to her partner, but no luck there.
"mine too!" they looked at each other, and shouted at the same time. I must admit, the whole little show amused me. And then a voice I hadn't heard since the early hours of this flight rang out.
"hey! Summer! Are you all right!" he and his partner, a staraptor where racing in this direction.
"Yep, all fine! But you missed the action!" he flew up next to me and we high fived, something we did a lot.
"oh no, I saw. That was some pretty tactical flying! Good work with the barrel roll by the way" I blushed lightly at the praise and scratched the back of my head, and then yet again a voice ran out, but this one I had never heard before.
"What are you two still doing here?" a blond haired man on a red UFO, machine… thing, emerged from the clouds below. He donned a red sleeveless shirt, grey pants that reached his knees, black boots, and the same strange glove type contraptions as the grunts, and he had a single red bang in the middle of his forehead, and the rest of his blond hair was, obviously, gelled as it didn't move to much, even with the light breeze. "Why aren't you two tracking Latias?" his serious gaze making the two grunts tremble.
"w-w-well l-leader, you see, um, ah" they suddenly turned and looked at us and pointed. "they go in our way leader!" we both blinked for a second. Their 'leader' looked toward us as if he just noticed we were there.
"Hmm? Flying rangers? And what's with the goggles and the yellow scarves?" we looked at each other, looked back and shrugged in unison, not bothering to answer his question. "oh well, you're just two meddling brats easily dealt with" Ben started laughing.
"'Easily dealt with'? says you to the two who couldn't even shoot down Summer! Not that anyone would be able to, right summer?" I gave a wide grin, and he grinned back.
"well then. If you find it that funny, I'll deal with you first!" and he aimed his flying machine towards Ben, with the single press of a button, a cannon, type thing formed out the front of the machine, and aimed directly toward Ben, who was shielding his eye with his arm from the heat produced by the machine. "Take this! Meddling brat!" and with that a large ball of energy, twice as big as the ones I had been dodging before was shot towards Ben.
My brain went into overdrive; I only had one thought in my head. 'Protect Ben'. And so I did.
With a movement of my body, I urged the staraptor to fly in front of Ben's partner, I moved my body so my back was to the blast, rising up and shielding him, the energy ball hit me full force. I let out a scream as pain ripped through my body and I was knocked from the staraptors back, falling toward through the clouds and toward the ocean below, my back smoking from the hit.
The pale blue sky, that was fading to orange hues, and Ben's silouett fading through the clouds was the last thing I saw. The last thing I heard of Ben was not something I would want to hear.
"SUMMER!"
Me: wow! I actually like this one! Its rare for me to write something that I'm happy with, but this one came very easily!
Summer: what? Your happy about me falling to my death?
Me: well your hear now aren't you?
Ben: but she fell from above the clouds. How is it possible that-
Me: now, now Ben. It's the Pokémon world! Who knows what could happen?
Summer & Ben: But-
Me: NO BUTS!
Summer & Ben: … ok …
Me: good! Glad we all agree! Now, Please read and review! The latter would be much appreciated! Ok.
Summer, Ben & Me: Bye～
