Poké Rangers: Lost Zone

Poké Rangers: Lost Zone (abbreviated as PRLZ and Lost Zone) is a spin-off of the Poké Rangers franchise and the first season in an unnamed set of series of Poké Rangrs authored by PikaFlash exclusive to Fanfiction.Net.

Synopsis
Years before the series began, an ambitious Mew travelled to the Hall of Origin, proposing to Arceus that humans should be servants to the Pokémon and wants Arceus's permission to use his Psychic powers to control all humans. However, Arceus is furious at the Mew's outrageous suggestion as it contradicts the creation of the Lake Trio (Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie) and Arceus banishes the Mew into another dimension known as the Lost Zone.

To ensure that the Mew never escapes the Lost Zone, Arceus placed the Lost Zone within the Distortion World, where Giratina is charged with the task of watching over the dimensional prison. In the event that the Mew escapes, Arceus entrusted Giratina special powers to be used, knowing that the Mew find any opportunity to escape from it's prison.

Hundreds of years later, in the year 2021, three Pokémon Researchers studying the legend of Giratina in a newly discovered ruin accidently created a dimensional rip that releases the Mew from it's prison. However, after being trapped in another dimension for a long time, the Mew had no choice but to possess the body of one of the Researchers to survive before escaping. Aware of the incident, Giratina appears before one of the Researchers and entrusted her the powers from Arceus to stop the Mew before he conquers two worlds.

Shine gets possessed by ZeroMew while Naomi falls into a coma. Claire is the only one left untouched as Giratina entrusts her with the responsibility to form the Lost Zone Poké Rangers.

Birthday: 10th October

The Forest Green Sceptile Ranger. From Fortree City, Hoenn. He joins the team in Canalave City after he was sent to Claire to Snowpoint City to train his skills with the sword. It was during this training that his Sceptile learns to cut air that enables it to cut through Fire-type attacks. Technically, Sarah does not have a nickname for Dice because Dice is already a nickname. He likes Emma Blight, the Black Ranger.

Dice chose to become a Poké Ranger because one of ZeroMew's monsters was responsible for the death of his sister. He also made a promise to his sister that one day he would show her a Gracidea that he recieved from a Shaymin. During a trip to Floaroma Town in Sinnoh, Dice encountered an enemy that sent him flying into the Eterna Forest.

He helped put in the finishing touches in the J-Beast Zords and the '''Z-Jet Mk. II''', a jet capable of standard and vertical take-off and landing.

The reference to Riku's Ranger Color as Purple instead of Indigo is a common running gag in the series, despite the fact that Espeon's normal color is Purple. Riku would often try to correct that mistake, claiming that the Indigo Ranger sounds much cooler than Purple. Using a rock from Fullmoon Island, Riku can power up his Ranger abilities to become the Prime Mode: Indigo Crescent Cresselia Ranger.

Emma Blight
Age: 25

Hair Color: Black with blonde streaks

Emma's day job is being a Treasure Protector, where her role is to ensure the preservation of historical objects and ruins. Emma knows Dice likes her, but she rejects his advances because she doesn't think highly of him. But that doesn't stop her from using Dice as an excuse to avoid doing things she prefers not to do.

Using a rock from Newmoon Island, Emma can power up her Ranger abilities to become the Prime Mode: Black Void Darkrai Ranger.

Naomi Su
Age: 26

Hair Color: Green

Eye Color: Grey

Hometown: Jubilife, Sinnoh

Birthday: 28th August

The White Latias Ranger. Naomi is the best friend of Shine and Claire Springfield who fell into a coma during the incident that freed ZeroMew from the Lost Zone. ZeroMew is able to bring her out of her coma and turn her against Claire and the Poké Rangers. She is equally intelligent as Claire, making her a dangerous adversary to the Rangers.

A big difference between Naomi and the other Ranger is that Naomi is capable of transforming into a Latias Zord and she can form her own Megazord with ZeroMew's four Generals.

Later on, she kidnaps David's Rapidash and uses it to develop the Rapidash Rider as part of a prototype Adaptable Battlizer System for her to use. She becomes the Red Dragon Rider Ranger when she combines with the Rapidash Rider.

In reality, Naomi was only working with ZeroMew to find a way to free Shine from ZeroMew's control. Naomi was forced to betray ZeroMew when she attempted to stop him from killing his own four generals, but she failed when the four generals sacrificed themselves to protect Naomi.
