Summary: Four years later Grumm has come back to seek his revenge. After a spunky young Pokémon trainer, Tracy Blankenship, runs into Broodwing and tells him that she'll never fight alongside him. Commander Cruger asks her to join SPD. How will Grumm handle Tracy and her Pokémon team?

Chapter 1: Recruiting a New Member

Normal POV

Inside the command center of the Space Patrol Delta Base, Kat, and the commander, Anubis Cruger, are hard at work.

"Sir, I'm picking up a strange energy reading," Kat, SPD's Tech Expert, says.

"What kind of energy reading, Miss Manx?" Commander Cruger asks.

"A ranger energy reading, An intense spike in the morphing grid is spiking somewhere outside the city," she explains.

"Can you hone in on the energy reading?" He asks.

She nods. Meanwhile, in a cave outside the city, Tracy Blankenship, a perky young Pokémon trainer, is sitting inside the cave with her trusted partner Pikachu she nicknamed Quick Draw. She has large blue eyes, long blonde hair, and an appropriate build for a 14-year-old.

"Quick Draw, I am going to find out where we are." She says.

Tracy rises from her sitting position. Pikachu gets up and tries to follow his beloved trainer out of the cave.

"Don't worry buddy," she says sweetly. "I'll be okay. Stay here, all right."

She takes some Pokémon food out of her backpack and sets it in front of her partner. Then she leaves the cave and hopes that she'll find out where they are. Tracy walks into the city and reads the large sign. "Welcome to New Tech City."

"Well, at least now I know where I am. I should go and tell Quick Draw," Tracy says.

She heads back to the cave so she can tell her best friend the good news. But before she can, a Broodwing flies in towards her. Back at the SPD base, Cruger calls the Rangers to the command center.

"Rangers, Kat has discovered a new Ranger signal outside the city." He tells the team.

"Sir, you're kidding, right, we don't need another ranger. We're doing just fine the way we are," Sky argues.

"Sky, I hate to disagree with you. We could use the extra help now that Grumm has returned." Bridge reminds him.

"Sorry Sky, but Bridge does have a good point," Kat says.

"Kat, have you found where the signal is coming from yet?" Z asks.

"Not yet. I am still searching." Kat answers.

The alarm goes off and on the screen they see Broodwing attacking Tracy. Cruger tells the Rangers to suit up to help the girl out, and the Rangers yell,"SPD Emergency." Meanwhile, in the city, Broodwing is holding Tracy by her neck.

"Together we can destroy the power rangers!" Broodwing says.

"Two things: one, who or what are the power rangers, second, even if I knew who they were I would never help you." She says.

"You are lying. I know you know what I'm talking about." Broodwing yells.

"I'm serious, whoever you are, just put me down, and I'll get out of your hair," she says.

"Nice try, but I'm not falling for that," Broodwing says.

"Please let me go. I'm just passing through; that's all. I don't want to cause any trouble." She says.

Broodwing is getting sick of her constant whining, so it tightens its grasp around Tracy's neck. Broodwing tries to persuade her to come to the dark side.

"No, I'll never work for the bad guys." She says.

After she said that, the bat throws her against the wall and her vision starts to get fuzzy and blurry. The only thing she can make out is several teenagers standing in front of her protecting her from Broodwing.

"SPD is always interfering with my plans," Broodwing says.

The image of him flying away is the last thing she remembers as everything slowly turns black. She still can hear several other voices, but she can tell that they are friendly.

"I think she's okay; she just got knocked for a loop. We should take her back to the base." Bridge says.

"Good idea. Let's go." Z says.

Inside the SPD infirmary, Tracy wakes up, and her eyes nervously look around the room.

"Where am I?" Tracy asks to no one in particular.

"Hi I'm Z, and this is Sky Bridge and Syd. You're at the SPD Academy, a state of the art academy that trains cadets to become power rangers." Z explains.

"Well thanks for your help, but I think I've caused you, friendly people, enough trouble. I'll just be going now." Tracy says sweetly.

She starts to sit up straight and everything in the room begins to spin. She feels someone place their hand on her shoulder to lay her back down in the bed. Tracy's vision returns to normal a few seconds later. She looks up and sees the doctor's face.

"I guess you're the doctor, huh?" She says.

"Yes, I'm Doctor Felix. What's your name?" Dr. Felix asks.

"Tracy Blankenship." She answers.

Commander Cruger walks in the room. Tracy nearly jumps out of her skin seeing the Alien dog's appearance.

"Don't worry; that's the commander," Bridge explains.

"So let me get this straight, a big blue dog is in charge of the base?" She asks.

"Pets as authority figures. You get used to it," Bridge says.

"I see our new friend is awake," Cruger says.

"It can talk too. Let me guess, the dog's name is Scooby Doo," she jokes.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Tracy. His name is Doggie Cruger." Bridge says.

"That works too I guess, but who was the freaky looking bat in the punch bowl?" She asks.

"The bat that attacked you, his name is Broodwing," Commander Cruger explains.

"OK, what does this have to do with me?" She asks.

"Our sworn enemy Grumm that we defeated four years ago is back to seek his revenge," Commander Cruger says.

"Revenge?" Tracy says in shock.

"I see great potential in you, so would you consider attending S.P.D.?" Cruger asks.

She thinks about it for a minute and is unsure about what to do. She knows that Pikachu is worried about her.

"What have you decided?" Cruger asks.

"I don't know. Me, a power ranger? I don't think I have what it takes," she says unsurely. Then added, "I need to check up on my friend."

"I can tell that from the way you handled yourself when Broodwing attacked you that you'll be a fantastic member of our team," Cruger says.

"Well, can I think about it, then give you my answer?" she asks.

"This is a one-time offer," Cruger explains patiently.

"Well," she says hesitantly, "I guess I could give it a try."

"Is that a yes?" Cruger asks.

She nods slowly, and Cruger welcomes her to S.P.D.

How am I going to tell them about my secret? Tracy thinks.

Title: Chapter 2: Tracy Reveals Her Secret

Normal POV

Sky and Tracy are sitting on the couches in the common room. Tracy gets up and walks towards the door, and Sky gets off the other couch. Tracy turns around to face him.

"I am going to go for a walk," Tracy says.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, Tracy," Sky says. Then he added curiously, "What are those little multicolored pieces of plastic in your pocket?"

"What does that have to do with this?" Tracy asks.

"Just answer the question," Sky demands.

"I don't have to answer that," Tracy says flatly.

"Well, you shouldn't go off alone; you might get attacked," Sky argues.

"If I do, I can just morph and fight back." She protests.

"You haven't even had any training," Sky says.

"Well, of course, not Sherlock, I just joined yesterday!" She reminds him in a sarcastic tone.

In Kat's lab, Commander Cruger hears their argument. He leaves the lab, and he enters the common room a few minutes later.

"What is going on?" He asks.

"Tracy wants to go off alone," Sky answers.

"I was just going to go for a walk; that's all. And Sky you're not the boss of me." She argues.

"Cadets, silence!" Cruger barks.

While Commander Cruger and Sky are talking to each other, Tracy sneaks out of the room. A couple moments later, she arrives at her secret hiding place.

"Pika pi," rings from her partner's lip.

He jumps on her shoulder and rubs her check. She lets out the rest of the team so that Quick Draw can have some company. Shell Shocker the Blastoise. Inferno the Charizard. Sparkles the Beautifly, Big Sister the Skitty, and Ninja the Kecleon are having a blast playing together. A few minutes later Tracy knows she needs to get back to the base, so she puts the team back inside their Pokéballs. Pikachu bends his ears downwards towards his face and looks really sad. Tracy makes up her mind she is going to tell the team her secret. She walks through the park. A monster with big blue bug eyes and a body that can barely support is big head attacks her.

"What are you doing here?" she asks, surprised.

"I'm here to destroy you, Ranger," says the monster, it's voice raspy.

"I don't think so, freak! SPD Emergency!" She yells.

She transforms into the Red SPD Ranger. The battle starts to get intense and then the monster throws a baseball-sized sphere, and a bunch of robots came out. Tracy tries to call for backup but before she can, one of the robots fries her morpher with its laser.

Back at the SPD base the alarm sounds. The Rangers rush into the command center.

"Rangers reporting, sir!" the Rangers state in unison.

"We have just lost the signal from Tracy's morpher," Cruger says quickly.

"Well, that explains why she didn't call for backup," Bridge says.

"The last place we picked up Tracy's morpher signal was in sector 12," Kat explains urgently.

The Rangers rush out to help her. Back in sector 12, Tracy is nervous. "Okay, where is the rest of the team? I hope they get here soon because I don't know how much longer I can hold this freak off!" Tracy mutters.

"Where are your friends, Ranger?" the monster asks in a gloatingly evil voice.

"They'll be here soon, just you wait," she answers. "I hope," she adds under her breath.

Just then, the Rangers rush in to help her. Before they can get the chance to attack the monster, it fires its weapon and aims right at her. The blast sends Tracy flying back towards a steep hill. She rolls down it and hits a few trees on the way down.

"Bridge, help Tracy! We'll handle things here." Sky commands.

Bridge nods briskly, and he carefully walks down the hill. Bridge finds her at the bottom of the hill in awful shape. He gets down on one knee.

"Tracy, can you hear me?" Bridge says as he shakes her gently.

At the top of the hill, the Rangers are battling the monster. The monster throws a baseball-sized sphere. Several Kybots appear, and the monster tells them to attack. It uses the fight as an excellent means to escape the scene.

"Come back!" Sky yells.

"Sky, let him go. We should check on Tracy," Z says.

After they destroy the Kybots, he and the others walk down the hill carefully to meet up with Bridge.

"We have to get her back to the base quick," Z says worriedly.

"Good Idea Z," he says, then turns to Bridge. "Why didn't she call for backup?" Sky asks.

Bridge finds Tracy's morpher on the ground, sparking. Bridge explains that she tried but she her morpher got fried. Bridge puts the morpher in his pocket. He goes back over to Tracy and carefully picks her up. They head back to the base. In the infirmary, the Rangers and Kat are standing around Tracy's bed.

"Is she going to be all right?" Z asks.

"Yes, but she has sustained serious injuries. I am recommending mandatory bedrest until further notice," Dr. Felix explains.

Tracy slowly wakes up, says she is fine and starts to sit up on the bed. He puts his hand on Tracy's left shoulder and lays her back down on the bed.

"No, you don't," Dr. Felix says with a smile on his face.

Bridge hands Kat Tracy's morpher so she can fix it. Then Commander Cruger walks in. He's relieved to see Tracy awake and alert.

"I hate to say I told you so," Sky says.

"Then don't," Tracy snaps, annoyed with him.

"All right Cadets, that's enough," Cruger growls.

Sky and Tracy listen to their commander, albeit grudgingly.

"Sky, I want to apologize for what I said before," Tracy starts to say.

She takes a deep breath before continuing "and I have something else I need to tell you and I don't know how you are going to take it, but I used to be a."

The alarm goes off again. Cruger tells the Rangers to suit up; in the park, the Rangers are battling the monster.


"So, Rangers, where's your weak friend? Oh, that's right, I basted her into next week!" The monster says proudly.

"That's just the lowest, Tracy is a fantastic ranger!" Bridge says.

The monster laughs hysterically. Pikachu enters the scene and hits the monster with electricity from his cheeks (he uses tThunderbolt. Pikachu's tail turns silver (he uses iron tail). The monster puts its hand over the spot where Pikachu's attack lands.

"Where did that electric mouse come from?" Sky asks, completely confused.

"Hey, it found the monster's weak spot!" Bridge exclaims.

"Rangers, you and that electric rodent just got lucky. I'll be back!" The monster yells as it runs away again.

Pikachu leaves the scene as quickly as he enters. The Rangers demorph and head back to the base. In the infirmary, the Rangers enter the room. Bridge notices Pikachu lying on the bed, under Tracy's left arm.

"Hey, it's that electric mouse that helped us! How did it get here?" Bridge asks in wonder.

The other rangers are just as confused as he is. Then Tracy wakes up. Pikachu gives her a big hug.

"Quick Draw! I am happy to see you too," Tracy beams.

"Quick Draw," The group says confused.

"Sorry, that's the nickname I gave him. His real name is Pikachu." Tracy says.

"I guess he belongs to you," Bridge says.

"Yes. We are best friends and partners. I have no idea how he got here though. I guess he is smarter than I give him credit for." She explains.

"Is there something you would like to tell us?" Sky asks.

"Yes." She takes a deep breath. "I'm a Pokémon trainer," she says, suddenly feeling guilty.

"Why didn't you tell us about this before? I don't think we can trust you." Sky snaps, crossing his arms.

"Come on, Sky. It took a lot of courage for her to do what she just did. Maybe she had a good reason for not telling us." Z says, trying to calm Sky down.

"Z is right, Sky. I mean, this whole power ranger thing was just dumped on me. I didn't want to put my best friend in danger." Tracy says.

Doctor Felix walks into the room. Tracy's asks Dr. Felix anxiously if she can leave. He shakes his head no checking the copy of her medical charts in his hands. Tracy sighs in defeat. The Rangers leave the room to let her rest.

== Welcome TO SPD ==

In Kat's Lab, Commander Cruger is talking with Kat.

"How is it coming along, Miss Manx's?" Cruger inquires.

"Very well sir, it should be finished in 10 minutes," she says.

Sky enters the lab shaking his head.

"What's wrong, cadet?" Cruger asks.

"I can't believe that Tracy would keep a secret from us. I thought we were a team." Sky says.

"You are a team, cadet. Remember that coming clean and telling us was probably a tough thing for Tracy to do" Cruger says.

Sky knows that Commander Cruger is right, though he still isn't quite sure if he can trust Tracy. Kat, Cruger, and Sky leave the lab and head to the command center. They enter the room just as the alarm blares again. Kat calls for the rest of the team over the intercom. Bridge and Z enter the room.

"The monster has returned! Power Rangers, suit up!" Cruger yells.

"SPD, Emergency" The four teens shout.

Back in the infirmary, Tracy can't stand not being a part of the action. She knows that she shouldn't go out, but she wants to show Sky that he can trust her.

"Alright, that's it, no more standing on the sidelines. Come on, Quick Draw. Let's help our new friends," she says.

Tracy takes the IV out of her arm, rips off the covers and gets out of bed. She walks towards the door. Pikachu jumps on her shoulder, and they set out. Meanwhile on the battlefield the Rangers are having a hard time fighting the monster.

"Man, this monster is strong," Sky says.

Tracy tells Pikachu to use Quick Attack. Pikachu zooms in and knocks the monster to the ground.

"Tracy, what are you doing here?" Sky yells astonished.

"Helping you! Good job, Quick Draw! Now use Thunderbolt," Tracy says.

Then the monster fires its lasers and hits Sky. He starts to fall backward off a cliff. Tracy rushes over to help him. When she gets there, he was hanging on to a branch.

"Sky, are you ok?" She asks.

"I am fine, but you shouldn't be here," he replies.

The branch breaks suddenly, and Sky begins to fall towards the ground far below. Tracy tries to grab his hand, but he's falling too fast. So, she does the only other thing she could think of taking a Pokeball out of her jacket pocket.

== Welcome TO SPD ==

Tracy's POV

"Inferno, come on out and help Sky!" I yell, tossing his Pokéball into the air.

I climb on Inferno's back, and we dive down quickly. Inferno expertly catches Sky in his arms. Only then do I realize we are going down way too fast.

"Inferno, aim your Flamethrower towards the ground," I command, trying to stay calm.

Infereno did that, and we slow down just enough to change direction. We fly back up and land back at the top of the cliff. Infereno carefully puts Sky down on the ground. I jump off it's back.

"Great job, Inferno! Return," I say, putting him back inside the Pokéball.

"Tracy, did that fire-breathing dragon just save me?" Sky asks, seeming shaken from such a near-death experience.

"His name is Charizard; I call him Inferno, and technically he is a fire-breathing lizard, not a fire-breathing dragon," I explain.

He is about to thank me for what I did when the monster fires his laser straight at Sky. I jump in front of him to shield him from the blast, which hits me like a lightning bolt.

I feel myself collapsing, hear voices, and Sky calling my name. Then everything turns black.

Normal POV

Back in the infirmary, the Rangers have been standing around Tracy's bed for the second time.

"She'll need to stay here for a few days." Dr. Felix is saying, as Tracy's eyes start to open.

He knows that Tracy isn't going to be happy to hear those words. She wakes up fully.

"Tracy, I forgot to thank you for what you did out there," Sky says, smiling.

"No problem. And I want to apologize. I wasn't a good leader or teammate out there," She says ruefully.

"That true," Sky says in an agreeable tone.

"You don't have to agree with me; you know," She says, suddenly feeling hot and annoyed.

Cruger walks into the room and tells them to be quiet. The Rangers obey his order.

"You shouldn't have gone out in your condition, cadet. I'm suspending you from your ranger duties until further notice," Commander Cruger says.

"But, sir, I was helping my team! doesn't that account for anything?" she whines unhappily.

"Yes," Cruger says reassuringly, and then adds (less reassuringly), "but you disobeyed a direct order."

"It still doesn't seem fair," she whines again.

Pikachu jumped on to Tracy's lap to calm her down and starts to rub her cheek. Tracy tries not to laugh.

"My guess: he is telling you to calm down," Dr. Felix says.

Tracy starts to feel dizzy, and then a few seconds later, she faints. Doctor Felix sees an enormous scrape on her shoulder. He tells Pikachu not to worry. After he patches up the abrasion on Tracy's shoulder, he goes back to his post so she can rest. 10 minutes pass but Tracy still feels light headed.

"How are you?" Dr. Felix asks.

"I'm all right," She answers proudly.

Dr. Felix places his hand on Tracy's forehead to get a read on her body temperature, and says,"Nice try, but that's just the fever talking."

His assistant Sophia walks in with a tray holding a medicine bottle on it. She has round brown eyes, neck-length thick, curly, beige hair, and pale skin. She sets the tray down next to the bed.

"Thank you, Sophia," He says

"Your welcome, sir," Sophia replies.

"What's in the bottle, Doc?" Tracy asks.

"It's just some medicine to help bring your fever down that's all." Dr. Felix explains.

"Let me guess. It's supposed to taste like bubblegum," Tracy jokes.

"Now don't you think that you're a little old for a doctor to have to flavor the medicine just for you to take it," he says.

"No, can't a person still be young at heart?" She whines.

He pours the medicine into the spoon and quickly sticks the spoon into her mouth. He takes the spoon out just as fast as he puts it in, and he closes her mouth before she could spit it back out.

"Okay, now swallow," He says smiling.

She does what he orders, and as the medicine slowly goes down her throat, Tracy's face folds in half.

"Alright, I think it's about time that you got some rest," he says sweetly.

She smiles and drifts back to sleep. Dr. Felix and Sophia leave the room. Another ten minutes pass and Tracy wakes up again. Quick Draw jumps into her bed. He gives her a big hug. She hugs him back then sets him on her lap. She looks up and sees Sky walk into the room

"Hey, Sky. Look, I am sorry for everything I said before," She says apologetically.

"It's fine. I understand why you keep Pikachu and your other Pokémon a secret. You were just trying to protect them," he says.

"Sky, I promise that I will never keep a secret that could break up the team ever again," she says very sincerely.

"Okay, then how about we forgot this whole thing and start over, deal?" Sky asks.

"It's a deal, Sky," Tracy says with a smile.
