"Previously on Poké Rangers!"
…Several strange, identical creatures (could they be a new breed of pokémon?) appeared from nowhere, and grabbed Kurtis, Kris, Anna, and Ritchie.
"Come on, we can hide in the – basement," Whitney said, and they all ran to the back of the gym, and down a staircase behind a pair of sealed doors, which Whitney opened with a fingerprint scan.
"What the hell is happening?!" James cried.

A/N: Welcome one and all to my third series, Poké Rangers Dino Force! That's the theme song; if you don't like it, go eat something that doesn't taste nice! The scenes of Kurtis, Kris, and Greg in the credits will all appear throughout the series, and Anna will remain in a similar role to that of Billy throughout Zeo.
This will probably be the only time in Dino Force that there'll be an authors note at the beginning of a chapter, and there's one now because it's the first chapter and it's just to introduce you. Now, I'm not going to bother with a disclaimer, as I've done it all plenty of times before, and I'm sure once I said it would apply to all Rangers fics.
One more quick thing I have to add…the segment shown last chapter in BoO was written before any of this, and sadly, I can't make it fit satisfactorily. But that scene is still the general gist of what happens. Bon appetite!
Chapter; Prehistoric Problems – Part 1"Whitney, why are we hiding in your basement?" Rei asked, as the group of four descended the spiral staircase.
"Because with the Sanctuary out of commission it's the safest place in Goldenrod!" Whitney snapped.
It wasn't long before they reached the bottom. Miborg, Rei and Ritchie were amazed.
The walls were lined with immensely high tech looking computers and machines, and best of all, unlike the Sanctuary, they had spinny chairs.
"Oh my! This is fantastic! Why – wait! I think this is the same technology as that in the Sanctuary – Whitney, how did you-?" Miborg began, but then a door on the far end of the room burst open, and Kyle, Nanene and James stumbled in.
"Guys, what are you doing here!?" Rei asked with a gasp. Ritchie stepped forwards, and grabbed James by the scruff of the neck.
"And who are you!?" he asked angrily.
"Ritchie, relax, he's my partner on the radio show, J, AKA James Masterson," she told him. Ritchie put James down.
"How did you three get in here, the door's protected by a thumbprint scanner," Whitney said.
"Eh, the earthquake forced it open…so we came down here to hide. What is this place?" Kyle asked, looking round, but before he could be answered, Nanene screamed.
"What is that!?" she cried, pointing at Miborg, who screamed in response.
"What is that!?" he asked, pointing at her webbed fingers.
"Crazy Bill was right!" Kyle gasped.
"This is nothing, now you guys need to get out of here!" Rei said, ushering back towards the door.
"Rei, relax," Miborg said, and she turned round to him. "These are your friends, we can trust them. Besides, it's all over now." Miborg sighed, rubbing his temple, "Or at least we thought it was…"
Rei and Ritchie looked to Whitney, who was nodding.
"You need to tell them."
"Well…ok…guys…I – I was the Yellow Neo Ranger," she said. James's eyes went wide, but neither Kyle nor Nanene appeared remotely shocked.
""Was"?" Kyle asked, his voice full of concern.
"Yeah, it's a long – wait, you're not shocked!?" she asked.
"I am!" James cried.
"Well I'm not, I've known you almost a year, and every time there was a monster attack, you guys always vanished mysteriously. Me, Kyle and Adelie started to grow suspicious around about New Year," Nanene explained.
"Yeah, plus your clothes give it away, Kris was Red, Greg was Blue, Kurtis Green, Anna Pink, and Ritchie here was The Silver Scizor – by the way, did your ears get bigger?" Kyle asked the former mutant. Ritchie frowned.
"Anyway, why past tense?" Nanene asked.
"We…lost our powers earlier today…but we've defeated Team Rocket, so it's all good! But these other creeps showed up, and kidnapped Kris, Kurtis and Anna!" Rei cried.
"Right…so what the heck is this place?" James asked.
"Ah, now that I can answer," Whitney said with a smile. She walked over to a large HD, plasma screen, blutooth; you name it TV, and rubbed some dust off a plaque above it.
BoO.
"Boo?" Nanene asked incredulously.
"That's right, BoO. It's an acronym for something, but I can't figure out what," Whitney said, stepping back to admire the plaque.
"But I don't understand! How did this place come to be? Where did you get all this equipment?" Miborg asked, waving his arms around.
"Actually, it's always been here. As long as I can remember…I think it was all installed when Golden Youths was opened, when the same person who owned it became gym leader here, so he could have easily installed the entrance from there. 90 years ago, the same time you, and presumably the Sanctuary were built," Whitney said.
"So this was built by-?" Rei began, her eyes wide. Whitney smiled and nodded. She then began walking round checking out the computers.
"But this place is connected to the world's security camera network; we can see every inch of the explored outdoor world at any time via this. Not only that, but this place has even greater history records the Sanctuary, it has every single detail about every single Ranger and every single Ranger team throughout history built into it's memory banks, right down to their favourite flavour of ice cream. For example, Jack Farrell, the Red Ranger of the Mighty Morphin' Rangers favourite was strawberry… But for the last few months, it's told me details about you guys as they happened. And earlier today," she sighed, clicking away at the computers. She brought up an image of the six Neo Rangers, surrounded by stats. It read, at the top of the screen; "Poké Rangers Neo: Terminated Wednesday 13th July 3:43pm".
"They got it down to the minute," Ritchie said, both awestruck, and saddened.
"Ok, this is great and all that, but unless it can tell us what those things that captured the others are, and how we can free the others, it's no good right now!" Rei cried.
"Oh, I can tell you all that," a cold voice said suddenly as the monitor switched itself on. "We want vengeance!"
The owner of the voice was something that once upon a time would have been considered not of this world, though sadly no longer. He was a tall, thin (presumably, judging by his posture) Slowking, whose crown far more resembled a Cloyster than a Shellder. He wore a familiar, purple, velvet cloak, and he had a rather large snout. Moreover, his skin was blotchy, primarily the colour of a regular Slowking, but with blotches of the colour seen on a shiny Slowking.
"Ok, a wide range of questions come to mind right now, so why don't we start with who the hell are you!?" Ritchie asked, angrily, as he and everyone else approached the main monitor.
"My name is Lord Oday, but it doesn't matter; not one of you would know who I am. But your former Yellow Ranger will probably remember the name of my ancestor, Tyranno Hadro Rhino!" he hissed. Rei froze.
"Tyranno-wanna-who?" Kyle asked.
"What's he talking about, Rei?" Miborg asked.
"Um – Arceus, early on in the days of Neo, we were out Alph Ruins on an archaeological dig," Rei began.
"I remember that! Then those goons from Team Rocket showed up!" Nanene said.
"That's right, you two, Adelie, even Donny & Carl came – though you weren't with us by that point, Ritchie – anyway, long story short, me, Greg, Anna, Jessie, James and Meowth were all sent back in time – by Greg, to keep the timeline straight – to aeons ago, where the Earth was enslaved by dinosaur pokémon – don't argue, it's true, I saw it! Anyway, the six of us defeated them, and they left Earth – vowing that one day they'd return. We came back to the future, and now they've returned," Rei explained.
"Oh my-! And then what Giovanni said before he was arrested! About a greater evil returning! He was right!" Ritchie gasped.
"Indeed. We knew we'd have to return during a time when you'd already defeated the empire, but when you also had no powers – today was the time. You may have heard news reports about "unusual lunar activity". That was us moving the planetoid Dinos – our new home, after you drove us from Earth! – Into the Earth's orbit, so that we may launch our attack," Oday explained.
"So what are you planning, Oday?" James asked.
"Patience, child. Then again, I don't see why I should even respond to you. The former Yellow Ranger is whom I'm here to speak with," Oday said.
"Who did you make contact here?" Whitney asked, genuinely puzzled.
"You have a public phone number, it really wasn't hard to find, you might want to change it in future. Anyway, before you all so rudely interrupted me, I was about to introduce you to my family!" Oday cried.
"Your family?" Nanene asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That's right. You see believe it or not, over the aeons, my family has had more than one child in some generations. My brothers, sisters and cousins rule the planet with me – though as I'm the oldest and most direct descendant of Tyranno, the planet should be mine alone – though I am kind enough to share it," Oday told the phone, so that only those on the other end could hear him, and nobody else in the world. He certainly didn't look happy that he had to share.
"Allow me to introduce you," he said, stepping out of the way of the phone's camera, "this is my half-brother, Stegatrix," he began, pointing to one of the creatures stood behind him. Stegatrix was like a Rhyhorn, perched on its hind legs, and coloured black (I know what you're thinking, but he really looked nothing like a Rhyperior). It's front legs – or rather arms – were longer, and its head flipped round to face forward, giving it a generally human posture. He also carried a large spiky hammer. Stegatrix made no response to his name being spoken.
"-And my half-sister, Farrah-" She looked much more like Tyranno than either of her siblings, Rei thought. Though her nose was much smaller, and no spoke atop it. She closely resembled an Aerodactyl with its legs and torso stretched to human proportions. She wore armour that looked as though it would protect her well in battle, though her arms were still merely part of her wings.
"-Her son, Relano-" Presumably from his father's side, Relano looked more like a Ledian than anything. He was two feet taller than normal Ledian would be, however, and the yellow parts of his skin were purple like an Aerodactyl instead. Furthermore, he only had two arms, and his wings were more like his mother's. However, he had inherited his ancestor's nose, as his face was stretched forward quite a bit.
"-Our cousin, Jashinka-" Since Oday hadn't specified, the group on the other side of the phone call were unsure of this one's gender; the top half certainly revealed nothing, and the bottom half was covered by a pair of brown trousers, with a hole for its tail. It was an upright Persian, with a human posture, naturally, armed to the teeth with weapons, including nunchuks, a sword, bombs, a spear and an axe, not to mention her own extremely long claws.
"-Her sister, Juliet-" Not just in name, but also appearance, this Dinosian was so human like it was almost hard to believe she wasn't. Noticeable differences were her tail, and her head being slightly more catlike, including slightly larger, pointier teeth, and the large ears. Either her extremely fine fur, if she had any, or her skin was the colour of a Delcatty's fur, and the scarf round her neck, the top of her head, and the tuft of fur on her tail were all the purple colour of a Delcatty. She, similarly to her sister wore black clothes adorned with gold highlights.
"-And finally, Jashinka's husband, Dorian." He was a further evolved form of a Toxicroak. He wore shoulder, elbow and kneepads, coated with spikes similar to those that covered his head. The claws on his hands were also larger and more plentiful, and the sac beneath his mouth was at least one and a half feet in diameter.
"And of course you may well remember the Zaroids; the creatures that captured your friends? They were the result of selective breeding, and serve as our planets main army, and indeed, in some cases as pets. Thoroughly stupid, but strong warriors," Oday said with emphasis.
"Let's just get to the point, freak," Nanene urged. Oday grunted.
"Very well. We have your friends," Oday said, spinning the camera round to face Kris, Anna and Kurtis, all bound & gagged, tied to a wall.
"You will surrender the Earth to us by three Earth days, or we will completely wipe out the population of each and every city, one by one. And do not even think of trying any resistance, or we will wipe out all life on the planet!" Oday spat, and he disconnected the call.
"Relano, be prepared to fight them off when they try to resist," Oday chuckled. Relano nodded silently, and though Oday didn't see it, he psychically knew he'd nodded.
Relano's mother turned to him before he left.
"Be careful," she said, though her voice didn't actually indicate any concern. Relano merely looked at her to acknowledge she'd spoken, and walked out.
Meanwhile, at Golden Youths…
The earthquake had long since passed, and everything was back to normal. It was late in the day, and Carl & Adelie were the only customers left in the youth club. Adelie suspected her brother and Nanene were still at the gym, and Greg had dropped in earlier with Clara to announce they were leaving the city. The others had gone off with them to see them off, though she'd have expected them to have returned by that point. She sighed to herself. She'd had a lonely day, with only Donny and Carl for company.
"Well it's getting late guys, and since just about everyone's gone home, we're gonna close up for the night," Jimmy announced, as he walked round the bar with his mysterious friend in his suit.
"Ok, g'night guys," Adelie sighed, walking out. Carl waited for Donny, who walked out just ahead of Jimmy and his friend a minute later.
Once they were outside, Jimmy turned to his friend, and asked, "How soon can you begin?"
"We already have," he grinned, speaking in a stereotypically gay tone of voice. Jimmy turned to the youth club, and saw that his friend's pokémon, whom had been let out of their Poké Balls without Jimmy noticing, had already hoisted a white sheet over the building, and the team comprising of six Machoke, five Vigoroth, and three Smeargle had already ran inside.
"What's going on?" Carl asked, as he and Donny noticed the commotion. Jimmy turned to the duo with a grin.
"What's going on is that Whitney has given me permission to give this place a fresh coat of paint; Paulo, here, and his pokémon are going to spend the next few days working their magic. How long do you estimate it will take?" Jimmy asked.
"It should be ready for business by Saturday," Paulo told him, "Now excuse me, I must go inside to help." And with that he walked in to the building, through a slit in the canvas covering it.
"Hold the phone, Jimbob Jones, what does this mean exactly!?" Donny asked excitedly.
"It means, Donny, that you're gonna get the next couple of days off work, on full pay," Jimmy explained with a smile.
"SCORE!" Donny cackled delightedly, aiming to high-five Carl, but they both missed and slapped each other in the face.
"Excuse me, are you the manager of this establishment?" an old man asked, approaching Jimmy. It was the same man from the train station.
"Yes, that's me. Can I help you?" Jimmy asked.
"Possibly – my name is Professor Adrian Trex," he told Jimmy. Jimmy nearly choked.
"The world famous palaeontologist!?" he gasped.
"That's right. I'm here in Goldenrod for who knows how long on something top secret for the Pewter Museum. I understand this to be a youth club, I was hoping I might be able to find a couple of fit youngsters here up to the task of being my assistants," the Prof explained.
"Well I'm afraid we've just closed, and we'll be closed for the next few days, so you'll be hard pressed to find many people around here for a while – though you could check back tomorrow, about 8? We open then, and I haven't had the chance to tell anyone yet, so they'll be here anyway," Jimmy chuckled.
"Oh, very well," Prof Trex sighed rather sadly, turning to leave. He then spotted Donny & Carl.
"Wait! Would you two be up to it? Being my assistants?" he asked excitedly.
"Your assistants? I dunno…" Carl mumbled.
"You'll be able to get involved in some truly fascinating stuff, top secret stuff too!" Prof Trex cried delightedly, though it didn't seem to entice the duo, "Plus, you'll be paid extremely handsomely," he said with a smile.
"I'm in!" both boys yelled. Donny then turned to Jimmy.
"Sorry boss, I quit!" he said.
"Wait, what!?" Jimmy cried. He then sighed. "Oh well; I've got three days to find someone else to help out…"
"Now, I think you need to give us the exact details of this position, Prof," Carl said, "Like number one, how handsomely?"
Back in BoO…
"Ok, so what's the plan for rescuing the others?" Rei asked. Miborg smiled at her.
"Not even a thought considering surrender," he said warmly.
"Of course not," Rei chuckled, as though the idea was mad.
"We'll help out however we can, too," Nanene said, stepping forward.
"We will?" both Kyle and James asked. Kyle sounded scared, whilst James said it monotonously. Nanene stamped on both their feet, and they weakly replied, "We will…"
"I'm glad to hear you say that, guys," Whitney said, growing ever more excited, "Because before those guys phoned – and they're right, we do need to change the number – I was about to reveal the most interesting thing I've learned from reading BoO's files," Whitney said, fiddling with the computer's keyboard and mouse.
She brought up a picture of a collection of fossils. "According to the computer's, these fossils can be found in the vast desert in Hoenn, and from what I can make out of some other files, the five of you have to use them," Whitney told them.
"Use them for what?" Ritchie asked.
"You have to use them to become Poké Rangers," Whitney told them. Kyle, Nanene and James's jaws dropped.
"I'm in," Rei said immediately.
"And me," Ritchie added.
"Are – are you sure it means us?" Nanene asked with a gulp.
"How many other Nanene's are there?" Miborg asked, "Especially ones with such creepy finger flaps…"
"Well…this is really serious…so it's time to get serious… I'd say we have no choice. Kris, Kurtis and Anna need our help, so we have to help them," Kyle said. His face was pale.
"Well said, Kyle. I'm proud," Rei said with a grin.
"Yeah, I guess I'll help too…" James said apprehensively. Nanene looked from Kyle to James and back again.
"Well…I was the one who said these two have to help…plus I can't be the one who says "no", can I!?" she cried with a nervous giggle.
"Thank you," Whitney said calmly, "Now, it's late, so we'll send you after them tomorrow, leaving you two days to free the others and take down the entire Dinos empire, and the entire planetoid," she added, turning away from the future Rangers, scratching her nose.
"Oh, so no biggie," Nanene said, her voice shaking so much she sounded like she was about to puke.
"Wow, imagine, me, a Ranger!" Kyle gasped, "I can't wait to tell Adelie!"
"NO!" wailed Rei, Ritchie, Whitney, and Miborg together. Miborg then continued, "You can't tell anyone!"
"Not even my girlfriends!?" James asked, none too pleased.
"I'm not even going to ask about the plural… But no, not a soul can know," Whitney said.
"How come?" Nanene asked, her face falling.
"Well… Mostly because we'd get charged massive bills for damages that we really can't afford," the redheaded gym leader chuckled nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"Anyway, we all need some sleep, so let's split," Ritchie put in. Whitney nodded.
"You'd better go out the gym way, you're less likely to be seen…" Whitney said, getting up and walking to the door through which Kyle, James and Adelie had entered, and the teens all walked out silently.
"Whitney and I can begin work on anything and everything we think you'll need…good luck," Miborg told them.
The next day…
The teens all woke at day break the next day, around about 5:30. Not one of them was even slightly tired.
Without a roommate to try and trick any more, Ritchie managed to get out without the slightest problem, along with Nanene, and he left Sickle in charge, much to Nanene's dismay.
Rei had to tell her parents that Anna was staying round at Nanene's. Ritchie had to tell Kris's and Kurtis's parents' that they were staying round his as well.
James had no problem as his home life hasn't been even slightly delved into just yet. Kyle left his Uncle and sister a note, meaning she'd have to spend another day on her own, sipping drinks in Golden Youths – or she would have, had it not been closed.
They all gathered in BoO (Whitney having entered all five of their fingerprints into BoO's database over night, apparently having already obtained them the night before from them placing their fingers on the backs of chairs, etc) at about 6 am, Kyle carrying an extremely large and heavy looking rucksack filled with who knows what.
"Why on Earth have you got all of that, if this goes to plan we'll be back in like, half an hour – won't we?" James asked Whitney nervously.
"Don't worry, this shouldn't take too long," she answered with a smile.
"Yeah, but you can never be too careful, you never know what might happen to you when you do stuff," Kyle said wisely, nodding his head.
"Ok…well I'm going to Teleport you to the desert, and once you've found the fossils you need to phone us back here…do any of you have a PokéGear?" Miborg asked. James surrendered his multifunctional device to Whitney.
"Ok, now I've saved BoO's number in here…which I've changed since last night, so you'd need to be told directly to know what it is," Whitney informed them as she fiddled with its buttons. "We'll want to get you all a PokéGear or something for use as a communicator."
"Are you all ready?" Miborg asked. The five teens all nodded, and they vanished from BoO as Miborg waved an arm.
At the desert on Route 111…
"Oh jeez! I forgot about the sandstorm!" Ritchie cried, as they all squinted to block out the whipping gusts of sand.
"Go-Goggles anyone?" Kyle asked, pulling five pairs of the named item from his bag, and handing them round, "Like I said, you can never be too careful!"
They knew that with only one phone there was no way they could split up, so they all headed off in the same location to find the fossils. They headed south to scout the lumps of rock out, but upon finding nothing but an odd rock formation they headed north, wherein they found success.
"So these things are supposed to be able to help us become Rangers?" James asked, picking up and examining a Claw Fossil.
"I…guess so…" Nanene put in, reaching down for the Helix Fossil. "Come on, let's just grab one each and call Whitney and the freaky Mime guy…"
The group all gathered round in a tight circle to collect the remaining fossils. Kyle picked up the Old Amber, Rei the Dome Fossil, and Ritchie the Root Fossil. All five felt something shoot into their fingertips, and coarse through their body. James moved his hand down to his pocket to take out his PokéGear, but before he could-
Nanene broke the circle, spinning round to deliver a high kick to something about to attack her from the air! As Nanene's foot made contact with its chest, it fell down to the sand, apparently unconscious, allowing the teens to all get a look.
Ritchie and Rei recognised it as another of the same creatures that had kidnapped the others. It resembled the Lizard from Spider-Man, except for the fact it was orange. Rei privately thought that if she had the choice to fight those things or the Gios, she'd take the Gios any day.
"How did you know that it was there!?" Kyle asked in awe, but Nanene was genuinely shocked, and slightly scared, as she lowered her foot, her jaw going with it.
"I – I have no idea! I just – it was like I could see out of the back of my head, only it was in my head, so I just spun round to kick it, and why are you even looking at my butt, James!?" she asked angrily, spinning round and glaring at him. Now it was his turn for his jaw to drop.
"What do you mean? I – how did you know-?" he asked. Nanene gasped, covering her mouth with her hands once again, and she blushed. She soon lowered her hands so she could explain her unusual knowledge once more.
"I dunno – it was like – I heard your voice – only in my head – just saying how I've got a nice butt…" she said, blushing even deeper until she was bright crimson with embarrassment. Kyle glared at James, but nobody noticed.
"Nanene, since when were you psychic?" Rei joked, but Nanene considered it a serious possibility. She looked down at the lump of rock in her hand.
Before any of the others could respond, however, Nanene noted in the back of her mind the Zaroid rising up behind her, but all she could do was spin round to face it before it grabbed her in its crushing grip.
Before the others could help her, and before she could warn them, more Zaroids had appeared from the sand, and grabbed the others, holding them back too.
Another figure approached them from the sand, chuckling slightly as it did so. The teens recognised it as Relano.
"A valiant effort, humans. But you've failed. And not only that, you've doomed your planet to destruction, and your friends to death. And all for what? Some useless lumps of rock containing a few scraps of traces of my ancestors!?" Relano said, roaring with laughter. The teens scowled at him as he laughed.
How will the Rang- the teens get out of this mess, and save the world? How did Nanene acquire psychic powers? And what new adventures will Donny & Carl get up to with their new employer? It's a new beginning with Poké Rangers Dino Force!
A/N: For anyone keeping track, this is the first chapter, except the first of Johto (which was really just a prologue) where not one Ranger has morphed…no clue why… And partly just by giving them relatives, partly relating to their bios given by people submitting them (I finally have submitted generals!), and partly from my own ideas, each and every general has their own storyline planned. I hope everyone likes what I've done with their characters (particularly the new ones) even though some of them didn't even have a line…but they will…but despite the descriptions given to me, each and every one of them will fight at some point. Moreover, despite the role he took here, and him obviously believing he deserves to be, Oday is not officially in charge, and in fact he may not even be around by the time of the finale…
But what's this? Carl quit his job at Golden Youths? That's probably the longest standing fact about my series, now smashed down. Oh well. Who could fill his shoes? Well, not only is Adelie not doing anything with herself, but Anna's gonna be sticking in Goldenrod…hmm…actually, let's make it an official pole. Who would you prefer to see get the job at Golden Youths, Anna or Adelie? If enough people vote against what I had planned I may even change it in the fic, next chapter…
But both these two combined are likely the longest author's notes I have ever written, so I'd better stop. However… Since James has never had the opportunity to reply, he can do so for this chapter. See ya!
