Summers' P.O.V

"General Oris, how did the mission go?" my Boss asked once I said down, I sighed as I took my hat off.

"Great, we got the puzzle piece," I said as I handed him the bad, the Boss looked at me.

"Were there any problems?" he asked, I groaned.

"Maybe one or two, or three," I said, the Boss raised a brow as he rested his hand on his hands.

"What were they?" he asked, I sighed.

"You read the paper lately, about the Go Rock Squad?" I asked him, he nodded, "Yeah well we had a run in with three Rangers," I said, the Boss raised an eye brow, "I have no idea what they want though, I don't even think they know about the puzzle pieces," I said, then thought, "Ok they know now, but they don't know where they are," I added, the boss nodded.

"I'll get the scientists working on an invention to capture pokemon and control them," he said, I nodded my head.

"Anyway, how did the other missions go in Kanto, Hoenn, Johto and Sinnoh?" I asked, the Boss sighed.

"Unfortunately there were only two of the twelve puzzle pieces there," he said, "And that was only in Heonn and Sinnoh," he said, I sighed.

"So in other words the remaining nine are in Oblivia, Almia and Fiore?" I asked him, the Boss nodded his head, "Well, guess I got some work to do, don't I?" I asked as I stood up.

"Actually, I would like you to go to the Ranger Union and learn everything a Ranger knows," he said to me, I gave him a sceptical look.

"Sure I'll show up looking like this, walk right in and go 'Hey, how much to do you guys know about Team Darkness and how do we kick your sorry little asses?'" I said, the Boss looked at me, "They'd send me flying, literally," I added, the Boss chuckled a little.

"Not as Oris, but as Summer," he said, I raised a brow but caught on to what he meant as he dialled a number into the phone, I sighed, this was gonna be a long day.


Bens' P.O.V

"Were there any problems Dear?" Chairperson Erma asked me, Kate and Keith once we entered the base again, I sighed.

"Yeah, there's a new team on the loose, they call themselves Team Darkness," I said, Erma raised a brow at me, Hastings stepped forwards.

"I have heard of these people in the Kanto Region, what are they doing in Almia?" he asked himself, Rythmi walked over to us.

"Sorry to interrupt, but did any of them happen to have piercing green eyes, black hair, a black top with Darkness written in red letters, a black leather skirt, black knee high boots, and elbow length black gloves?" she asked, I looked at her.

"Yeah, she's one that went hand to hand combat with me," I pointed out, Hastings and Erma looked at me in shock, "She didn't have any pokemon, she said her team had no use for them," I added, Hastings thought for a second.

"Well, this is getting stranger and stranger," he muttered, I nodded my head.

"What else do you know about this group?" Erma asked, I sighed, Kate and Keith had left me once Rythmi came over, I was giving the info I knew myself.

"That their team doesn't want pokemon, they're very skilled in hand to hand combat, from what I gathered the girl Rythmi just described was the leader, the others called her General Oris," I still shudder at that name, "When they left they left with some sort of tablet, like a puzzle piece, though I'm not sure what it's for," I added, just then one of the phones began ringing, we each looked over as Rythmi put the caller on speaker.

"Hello, you've reached the Ranger Union, Operator Rythmi speaking, how may I help you?" she asked, one the other line was a shuffling noise before a voice came.

"Hello, my name is Blaze, I would like to request that you allow my daughter into the Union for the day so she can see what it's like to be a Ranger," a deep voice came, I cocked a brow, it sounded like he was trying to disguise his voice, I shrugged it off when a heard a laugh on the other end, a girls laugh, Rythmi looked at Erma.

"Hm, well, we haven't been very busy lately, but I'm afraid we might be busy now," Erma said, "After all with Team Darkness on the horizon," she added aloud, I mentally smacked myself.

"My daughter has had a run in with Team Darkness," the man on the other line said, Ermas' eyes went wide.

"Send her over as soon as possible, we'll have one of our best Rangers look after her," Erma said, there was a brief grunt before the line went dead, I looked at Erma, who was smiling at me.

"Oh no, oh no, I am not babysitting some kid," I said to her, Rythmi and Erma only smiled at me, a few moments later I was stood in front of the Ranger Union waiting for the kid to come.

"I can't believe they did this to me," I muttered as I watched the road for any signs of a kid.


Summers' P.O.V

"Why did you tell them I had a run in with Team Darkness?" I asked, "They're gonna question me you know," I pointed out, my Boss, Blaze, sighed.

"Yes I know, that is why you make it up, you're good at lying so just lie you best," he said, I shrugged.

"Sure thing," I said as I went to change.

I looked in my closet, pulling out a pair of black skinny jeans that had rips in with a blue tank top with a picture on an ancient puzzle on it, anyone who knew the legend of the puzzle knew it was possibly true, but most likely a legend, I pulled on my red convers as I took my wig off, I let my hair flow freely to my shoulders, I had spiked layers in it, I took my green contacts out revealing my brown eyes. I stepped out of my room, only to be greeted by a new grunt.

"General Oris, I'm here to escort you half way to the Union," she said, I rolled my eyes as she bowed to me.

"Sure thing," I said as I closed my door, "By the way, the name's Summer for now," I said as we walked, the new girl got to telling me about which team she was on, how she admired my team and how she wanted to be like me, I smiled at her most of the time, she was very enthusiastic. As we walked I was bowed to and high fived, high fived mainly by my team or the other girl leaders.

As we stepped out of the base we ended up at the far end of Almia, near Shiver Camp, yes we had relocated, only for the time being though, I sighed as I walked, I wished I'd brung a jacket now, but I knew it would be warm once we got to the Union.

The new girl rowed the boat as I watched out for things in our way; she wasn't wearing a Team Darkness uniform, for obvious reasons. Once the boat came to a stop I looked up to see a building with, what looked like, the top of a tree for the roof, I scratched my head.

"Man, these Rangers are weird," the new girl said, I nodded my head.

"You can say that again, now get out of here, tell the Boss I got here safely," I ordered, the new girl nodded her head as she road back to Shiver Camp, or near Shiver Camp. I sighed as I walked up some steps taking me to the Union, once there I saw a load of people, mainly girls, along with pokemon, I groaned, this definitely would be a long day.


Normal P.O.V

As Summer walked through the crowd of people, not even knowing why they were cheering, she was getting banged into and shoved about a lot, she was losing her temper quickly, as she neared the Ranger Union she saw the same boy from the cave, he was looking nervous and trying to get the girls off of him and calm them down. Summer got knocked into again, this time, she snapped as she grabbed the girl and held her against the wall everyone froze. Summer smirked as she saw the terror in the girls' eyes, she turned to everyone else, who back away except for the Ranger boy, she sighed as she let the girl go, then walked into the Ranger Union, Ben ran after her.

"Hold up," he called, Summer turned to him, "You can't just do that, then walk in here," he said, Summer cocked a brow.

"How come my b-dad has already called in, the Union said they'd show me what they do," Summer responded, Ben looked her over, her black jeans hugged her legs as her top clung to her, her hair was flowing freely, while her brown eyes gave of a hint of mischievousness and anger, but mostly they said 'I-have-a-short-temper-piss-me-off-you-die,' Ben smiled.

"Well you must Summer then," he said, Summer looked at him, he definitely was the guy from the cave, or at least one of them.

"Yeah, you are?" she asked him, Ben smiled.

"Ben, nice to meet you," he said holding his hand out, Summer, under orders, shook the boys hand.

"Back at ya," she replied, Ben smiled at her, she was pretty he had to give her that.

"Well, I'll introduce you to Erma, the rest of the Rangers then you can tell us about the Team Darkness incident, then I'll take you on my patrol, how's that sound?" he asked, Summer looked at the stairs.

"Meh, fine by me," she said, Ben cocked a brow at her.

"Your dad said you really wanted to become a Ranger," Ben said, Summer groaned inwardly.

"I do, I'm just not like the jumped excuses for girls out there," I pointed out, Ben nodded his head as they walked over to the escalator, Ben took her over to Hastings in the research room.

"Hey Professor, this is Summer," he introduced, Hastings looked at her.

"Hello," he said, "You don't look like a Ranger, why are you here?" he asked her, Summer smiled, she'd read about this guy, and in person, she already couldn't stand him.

"I want to be a Ranger when I get older, so I'm just here for the tour," she said, Hastings nodded his head.

"Well, out both of you, we're doing research on Team Darkness, now go," he ordered, Summer snickered to herself.

"You aint gonna find anything gramps," she muttered, Ben and Hastings both looked at her.

"You say something?" Ben asked, Summer shook her head innocently, she was a good actor.

"Nope, we going to meet this Erma person?" Summer asked, Ben nodded his head.

"Sure, this way," he said, Summer followed him out of the research room, once they went up another set of escalators they saw Erma, Sven, Wendy, Keith, Kate and Murph.

"Hey guys, this is the girl the man was talking about," Ben said, Summer walked around behind the Operators being a little nosy, ok very nosy, as she walked she came across a piece of paper, her eyes scanned over it, it was Oris' details, Ben walked up behind her.

"Oh a woman called in about seeing one of the Generals in Team Darkness," Summer turned to him and nodded, she set the paper back down.

"So this is Keith," Ben said, Keith waved, "Kate," Kate smiled as she shook Summers' hand, "Sven," Sven tipped his hat towards her, "Wendy," Wendy smiled at the girl, "And Erma," Ben finished, Erma walked over to Summer.

"My, you seem to be a little depressed," Erma said, Summer shook her head, she replaced her frown with a fake smile.

"Ah no, just shocked that I'm actually here that is," Summer said, Erma nodded her head.

"Well, you can tell us about your run in with Team Darkness, then Ben with take you on his patrol," Erma said, Summer nodded her head as she began to tell her story.

"I was walking through the woods, I ended up running into one of their leaders, they said if I told anyone then they couldn't guarantee my safety, I told my mom, the next day the windows are broken, my mom's screaming as the same person from yesterday killed her, I had to get out of there, but one of their ninja stars pierced by side, I froze for a second giving her the chance to lunge at me, coming back into reality I quickly kicked the person then hit them and ran out the room, I haven't been back to Sinnoh since then," Summer explained, Erma nodded her head.

"So this team's also in Sinnoh," she said, Summer nodded her head, Ben placed a hand on her shoulder, his eyes held sympathy, but Summer knew the story was fake, still she showed them a scar she had on her left side, she had had it for as long as she could remember.

"It sounds a lot like that Oris girl who threatened her," Ben pointed out, Keith and Kate nodded their heads, while Summer tried her best not to snicker at the thought of them actually buying the story. Summer walked around, she walked behind Rythmi, who was currently looking at the location of other Rangers.

"So, you're an Operator right?" Summer asked, Rythmi nodded her head, and "What's your job?" she asked out of the blue, Rythmi smiled at her.

"I give missions to Ranger, tell them when people are in trouble, answer phone calls from civilians, give directions to the Rangers and tell them if other Rangers have gone missing," she explained, Summer nodded her head.

"So in a way, a Ranger can't exist without the Operator," she stated, Rythmi smiled.

"If you want to summarise it up in one sentence yes," she said, Summer smiled.

"That's cool," she noted, Rythmi then resumed her searching, Ben walked up to Summer.

"You ready to go?" he asked, Summer smiled at him.

"Yeah, come one," she said as she actually began dragging him out of the room.

Summer smiled as they stepped outside, the atmosphere in there was way to bouncy for her liking, the two walked down the steps in sync, Ben looked at the skies, as his partner sat on his shoulder, the Pichu smiled and made a happy noise, startling Summer.

"Heh, sorry, he had that effect on people," Ben said, Summer nodded her head, "So, how come Team Darkness never came after you?" he asked, Summer sighed.

"They just didn't, I think it's because they couldn't find me, I went into hiding after the incident," she explained, Ben nodded his head.

"Cool, so what is it you want to know about Rangers?" he asked, Summer smirked, though Ben took it as a smile.

"Everything, I want to know everything there is to know," she said, Ben nodded his head.

"Well, this is how we do a capture," he said as he pointed his styler at a nearby Mudkip, "CAPTURE ON!" he yelled, Summer watched taking in every detail, Ben then walked over to her with the Mudkip.

"Mud," the blue pokemon called, Summer knelt down to pet the pokemon, she was surprised it didn't bite her or try using an attack on her.

"A Pokemon Rangers job is to always help people and pokemon in need, we travel the three Regions, Almia, Oblivia and Fiore, kicking bad guy butt, and saving the day, in other words a Rangers job is never done," Ben explained, Summer nodded her head.

"so there's more of you in Fiore and Oblivia?" she asked, Ben nodded, Summer smiled.

"Ok, I gotta ask this, what's with the shirt," he said pointing to it, it was a jigsaw of an ancient pokemon that people believed dead, or alive but no one ever saw it, it was Arceus, Summer smiled.

"It's something to do with an old legend, it's pretty long," Summer said, Ben smiled.

"We got time," he said as they continued walking, Summer sighed.

"Alright," she said, "Well legend has it that long ago all legendries and ancient pokemon lived together in harmony, because of this Arceus created an Island called Harmony Island, people say that instead of standing still like and actual island would, this one travelled around, underwater and above water," Summer said, she looked at Ben to see he was staring at her with interest, his eyes board into her, it was enough to make her blush, but she had control over her emotions.

"Anyway, people say the only way to see this island, is if Arceus allows it, or if you can control Arcues, there are puzzle pieces planted around different Regions, Almia, Oblivia, Fiore, Sinnoh, Johto, Kanto and Hoenn, there's twelve all together. Anyway, whoever has all twelve can summon Arceus, befriend it and get to this island, only this island surfaces once every six months, so twice a year, it only stays above ground for a couple weeks, in that time people say they've seen legendries on it, having fun, but if the wrong people were to get a hold of the puzzle pieces they could wreak havoc, because these puzzle pieces also control the pokemon on the island once the island has surfaced," Summer ended her story as she looked at the Ranger before her, he was way too dumb to figure out Team Darkness's plans anyway.

"Woah, cool," he said, Summer nodded her head.

"So since you're a Ranger an all, have you ever had a run in with Team Darkness?" she asked, Ben smiled softly for a moment.

"I have," he said, Summer looked at him.

"And?" she asked, Ben sighed.

"I had to go hand to hand combat with their leader Oris, it was weird, I mean I don't think she belongs on that team, there's something about her, that makes her different, makes her better, but she's too blinded to see it," he said, Summer looked at him in shock, but then nodded her head, "Gah, I sound like a love sick puppy, and worst yet for my enemy, someone shoot me," he said.

"That can be arranged," a voice said, turning the two saw, what looked like, Oris, but Summer knew better she knew it was Anthea cosplaying as her for some reason, she cocked a brow at Anthea, who smirked, Summer got the message and became the scared child she was meant to be.

"Ben," she whispered, Ben moved his arms out in front of Summer in a protective manner, he glared at Anthea.

"What do you want?" Ben asked, Anthea smirked wider; a soldier came out behind her.

"General A-Oris, we've located the plate," he said, Anthea nodded her head.

"Good take it," she said in the same voice Summer uses for Oris, she smirked as she lunged at Ben, who blocked the knife from hitting him and Summer.

Summer knew Anthea wouldn't last long, so the soldiers had better hurry up, but the only thing was, what if Ben pinned her and tried to reason with her again? As if Arceus hated her, that's just what he dead.

"I told you, you're better than this, quit now and do something else with your life," he said, Anthea looked at him, a little in confusion, she kneed him between the legs, a place no man wants to be kneed and ran back to her team, she winked at Summer, who got the message as to play concerned about Ben, she ran forwards.

"Ben, are you ok?" she asked, Ben groaned in response.

"I'm good, jheeze she's got a kick though," he said, Summer rolled her eyes.

'And that's not even the real Oris,' she thought as she saw Anthea run away with her team.

"They got away," Summer muttered, Ben groaned as he sat up.

"Yeah, I'll figure out what they're up to later," he said as stood up, he helped Summer back to her feet, the two continued on their way, this time back to the Ranger Union, once at the river Ben saw a girl in a boat.

"SUMMER!" the girl called out as she ran off the boat, Summer jumped but settled down once she saw it was the girl who had brought her here.

"Hey," Summer said, the girl smiled at her, Ben looked at the two.

"Friend of yours?" he asked, Summer smiled.

"Yeah, well, I gotta go, thank you for showing me what a Ranger does, I had fun," she smiled, Ben nodded his head.

"Pleasure's all mine," he said bowing like he was addressing the queen, Summer rolled her eyes but didn't expect him to grab her hand and kiss it, he smiled at her one last time before running towards the Union.

Summer turned to the girl behind her, who was just as shocked as she was.

"You wouldn't happen to have any hand sanitizer on you would you?" she asked, the girl shook her head, Summer groaned as she began rubbing her hand on her shirt.

The ride back to the hideout wasn't as long as Summer thought it would be, once she got back she began explaining to Blaze what they told her, what they do and how they do it, once Blaze dismissed her Summer immediately ran to wash her hands.

Once she entered her room the lights came on, in the chair at her desk was Anthea.

"I've been expecting you," Anthea said, Summer cocked a brow.

"No shit, it's my room," she answered, Anthea glared at her, Summer closed the door, once she had Anthea began with her questions.

"Are you planning to betray us?" she asked, Summer stared at her in shock.

"What no," she said, Anthea glared at her.

"Then why did that Ranger say you were too good for our team? That you should stop what you're doing?" she countered, Summer face palmed.

"I don't know, he said it when I met him in the cave in Vientown forest, I swear I haven't done anything wrong, besides, I'm planning on kidnapping and torturing the kid," she said, Anthea smirked.

"That's the Summer I know," she said, Summer smiled at her.

"Now get out of here while I change would ya," Summer ordered, Anthea laughed.

"Ok, ok I'm going, see you training," she said, Summer nodded her head as her friend left, once she had Summer fell onto her bed face first, that Ranger boy, Ben, he was getting to her head, she could hear his voice, it made her want to quit, to walk away and never come back, but how could she abandon the only family she had, Summer rolled over with a grunt.

"Ben, you're a twat, why of all people did you pick me?" she asked herself, she didn't bother changing that night, she couldn't be bothered to, so she ended up falling asleep in the clothes she was wearing.


Chapter two done, this is turning out better than I thought it would please REIVEW :D
