Poké Rangers: Element Warriors

Poké Rangers: Element Warriors is a current Work In Process spin-off of the Poké Rangers franchise, written by author: MakiZanaX13 for the popular global fan writing site: FanFiction.

Synopsis
Approximately 40,000 years ago, a sorceress who went by the name of Lutemecia, failed to conquer the distant planet of Ni-Cufola. This resulted her being sealed in a meteorite and banished into the depths of outer space for all eternity. Yet it wasn't long till the meteorite crash landed in the outskirts of a small town in Kanto, which grasped the attention of its inhabitants. They believed it to be a miracle sent by Arceus, the creator of the Pokémon World and agreed to enshrine it in Arceus' honour.

Sometime later two hikers stumbled upon the shrine and with one misstep, they freed Lutemecia from her prison. She grants them their award by turning them into her most loyal vassals. For revenge, Lutemecia decides to conquer the Pokémon World. She destroys the town she was previously enshrined in and turns its people and Pokémon into mindless slaves. Thus she challenges the king to a duel. Sadly she lost due to her magic been weakened from years of imprisonment and was exiled. Angered by another loss Lutemecia overthrows the king by killing him in his sleep and seizes the castle, controlling every human and Pokémon in the process.

In the midst of the chaos, a mysterious traveler appeared out of the blue. Wielding nothing but a sword and a mystical box. The traveler dueled Lutemecia and was lucky enough to seal her magic, weakening her once more. Afterwards the traveler sets of to gather 17 unique individuals. Each individual had the ability to one out of the 17 elements used by Pokémon. Together they were called the Guardians. Their purpose were to collect powerful crystals scattered across the region in which the crystals are a valid asset to seal Lutemecia again. Sadly 12 out of the Guardians died due to unexplained circumstances, with 5 remaining: a noble's child (fire), a mercenary (grass), a merchant's daughter (water), a castle knight (thunder) and a sky pirate (wind).

When the time to fight Lutemecia came, the mysterious traveler revealed to the Guardians as the legendary Pokémon; Mew, who was ordered by Arceus for the task. Eventually they went into battle. Lutemecia proved to be a challenge and was able to destroy the box, releasing her powers and also able to fully recover. The tables turned on the Gaurdians. Whilst beaten and weak, the Fire Guardian steps in between both forces and prevented Mew and the other four Guardians from being killed through sacrifice. In the end the remaining Guardians finally sealed Lutemecia once and for all.

Years into the present time, the Guardians were reincarnated into five regular humans that will soon take the mantle as the next generation of Poké Rangers.

Souma keeps a sword and flute on her person all the time that was given to her by someone she'd met in the past and has a habit of hitting people on the head when they do something idiotic. She appears to hold a deadly secret though it's not known at this point.
