This story is based on the Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia DS game.

Chapter 1 - Arrival

A loaded cargo ship landed. 2 strange men wearing strange black and purple costumes appeared, and jumped off at Canalave city dock, looking at their surroundings.

"I'm sure that boss's ship headed port!" one said.

"No it didn't! It definitely swerved to the starboard… can't remember much more, but I remember seeing a Gliscor…" argued the other.

"Gliscor's boss's airship! Didn't you know that? But what's this? There's a signpost there…Can…Can…Canalave City? I don't remember seeing that on the Almia region map."

"OH WELL DONE! DID YOU MANAGE TO GET US INTO A COMPLETELY NEW REGION ALTOGETHER?!?!?!?!?!"

"Hey! You were telling me what to do! I was merely steering!"

"Yeah, and had all the control over where to go!"

"I was always following your instructions!"

"No you weren't! Liar!"

"Liar!"

A Chatot, watching all this fuss from a tree, swooped down.

"Shut up!" it said.

"Hey! What-"

"Shut up!"

"What the-"

"Shut up!"

"Is that-"

"Shut up!"

"Get that-"

"Shut up! You two are ******* ******s! You are ******* than a ******! Did you know that, *******? ******* **!"

"Hey! You can't say that! This fan-fic is supposed to be rated a 'U'!"

"Wow, THAT is one strong Chatot! Let's get it!"

After a nice capture with the Miniremo, the men decided to find out where they actually were, while a steady stream of slugma/macargo/purugly/machop/mime jr. /drifloon/drifblim/etc. /etc. /etc. poured from the ship, all having weird spinning purple confusion marks above their head.

"Hi, um… excuse me-" started one Team Dim Sun member to an elderly passer-by.

"Hey! We're Team Dim Sun! We're the bad guys! We aren't polite cats at a restaurant!"whispered the other.

"(Unless there's fish or cream around...)"

"OI! You ********! Tell us where we are or we'll steal all your Po-"

"Oh hi," the man said quickly, "Wha-what did you sa-say? So-so-sorry, I-I-I've got a b-b-b-bit of a sus-sus-sus-stammer, an-an-and I-I-I-I re-re-really ne-ne-need some new hea-hea-hea-hearing ay-ay-aid- WHOA!

PLEEEEEEEEASE!" The man stared at them with big puppy eyes.

"Oh... Oh- emmm... yes-errr erk-ack... emmm... they...they just are umm...er... game symbols!" stammered the Dim Sun that swore.

"Oh! Are we in a game then?" the other Dim Sun said.

"Of course we're in a game!" the other whispered back. (wha-?) "Anyway!" He shouted back to the man, "Where are we?"

"Canalave city, local to the region of Sinnoh."

"OH! SO YOU HAVE GOT US INTO A NEW REGION, HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Ok ok, calm down calm down... I'm sure that-"

"You're sure that what? We can elect a new boss and start again in Seeno causing trouble?"

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha! What a silly idea! Hang on, I've got an idea! Why don't we elect a new boss and start again in Seeno causing trouble? I'm a genius!"
