Plot Elements

 * Lunick gets off of the boat in Fall City.
 * Lunick then meets Spenser, the Leader of the Ringtown Base. Suddenly, the two hear commotion and find a Houndoom terrorizing a Plusle.
 * To help calm the Pokémon, Spenser gives Lunick a Styler and demonstrates how to use it.
 * After Lunick successfully captures and calms down the Plusle, Spenser makes him a full-fledged Ranger and flies himself, Lunick, and the stowaway Plusle to Ringtown on his Fearow.
 * After arriving in Ringtown, Lunick meets Murph and Solana along with the rest of the Rangers at the base.
 * A man introduced to the player as Larry enters asking for help finding his missing Pokémon, prompting Spenser to give the player their first mission. After capturing a few Pokémon and presenting them to Larry, he will tell the player that they did not capture his Pokémon and then Taillow will appear - this is the one he was looking for.
 * Before Lunick goes back to the Ranger base, a boy will appear and tell them that trees are on fire.
 * Spenser will show the player how to use the Field Move for Water type Pokémon and once both trees are back to normal, they all can head back.
 * When they arrive back at the Ranger base Lunick will be asked to patrol together with Solana and they will find Taillow chasing Plusle. When they go back, Solana will tell Spenser about it and Professor Hastings will ask Lunick to check on Spenser's Fearow. Because it isn't fit enough yet to carry Hastings back to Fall City, Lunick will be assigned their first real mission.
 * They will have to walk through the Krokka Tunnel after overcoming a few hurdles (the Professor will explain to Lunick how to overcome all of them) and then they will be met by the Go-Rock Squad for the first time. They will cause a rock fall between Lunick and the Professor and steal his prototype for the new Stylers.
 * Lunick needs to find a way around the rocks to the Professor and once they do that, the two Go-Rock Squads will cause another rock fall but this time Lunick and the professor are not closed in and the Go-Rock Squad members run off, apparently angering a Rhydon in their way which Lunick will have to capture.
 * Once that is done, Lunick, the professor and the Partner Pokémon can go to Fall City and although the Professor was robbed of his Styler, the mission is complete and Lunick achieves Ranger Rank 2.
 * While the Professor tells Joel, the Ranger Leader of Fall City, about the Go-Rock Squad and every Fall City Ranger goes on a mission to find out more about them, Lunick is asked to go patrolling again, including finding a Makuhita to push away a box, finding a bunch of Skitty for an overbearing Skitty-lover. On the search for the Skitty, Lunick runs into a member of the Go-Rock Squad, harshly training a Pokémon but Lunick can't do anything about it.
 * The last thing to do on patrol is to find a Staryu for the Professor's assistant to light up the lab's basement.
 * The Go-Rock Squad member's Machoke Lunick encountered earlier will be trying to destroy the tower in the north of the city and after they capture it, Lunick can go back to the Ranger base and Joel will upgrade them to Ranger Rank 3.
 * Lunick will be assigned the next mission, meaning to rid the Waterwork Bureau of Grimer. While they capture Grimer after Grimer, another Ranger comes to escort them out so they don't need to waste the number of available Pokémon-Friends on them. On the way through the Waterworks they will run into Aria, on her mission to gather information on the Go-Rock Squad. She leaves shortly after saying she hasn't found anything.
 * When Lunick cleans the entire area, they will find another two Grimer and a Muk in the entrance. After they capture them, they will leave and the camera shows that a member of the Go-Rock Squad had watched the whole thing. When he go back to the Ranger Base, Joel will upgrade Lunick again, this time to Ranger Rank 4.
 * Spenser will send Lunick a message, saying that they are needed in Summerland but due to the Lunick's low rank, they are not allowed to fly there. He will go down to the pier and ask the man there if they are allowed to use his Lapras, which he will grant.
 * In Summerland one of the rangers will go to find the Ranger Leader for Lunick and when the leader, Cameron, arrives, the ranger will also come back and tell everyone frantically that his Politoed was stolen by "weird-looking Rangers" with weird Stylers.
 * Cameron assigns Lunick the next mission, and Lunick heads into the jungle to retrieve the Pokémon. He runs into a group of four musicians, calling themselves the Go-Rock Quads and introducing themselves with music:
 * Garret plays bass.
 * Tiffany plays the violin.
 * Clyde a single drum.
 * Billy plays an electric guitar.
 * The Go-Rock Quads let Lunick know that they intend to create Super-Stylers so all Pokémon will listen to them and that they want to destroy the Rangers.
 * Lunick finds the Go-Rock Grunt who stole the Politoed and chase him for a while until they end up in the Jungle Relic where Lunick can finally capture it.
 * Upon leaving the Jungle Relic again, Lunick runs into Billy again.
 * When Lunick arrives back at the Ranger base, Cameron assigns them Rank 5.
 * Once again Spenser lets Lunick via message know that he needs him back in Fall City. Lunick will be asked to clear the Krokka Tunnel of the rocks that were set off in the first mission.
 * Aria is using a Hariyama to clear the first rocks and leaves Lunick to do the rest.
 * After running around on the hunt for Hariyama, Lunick will run into the Go-Rock Quad again and they will tell Lunick that there is supposedly a legendary Pokémon somewhere in the tunnel.
 * After finding Hariyama and clearing the rocks, Lunick yet again receives a message from Spenser to meet him at the Dugtrio statue and when Lunick arrives there, they will find Tiffany of the Go-Rock Quad waiting there with a Camerupt.
 * Lunick needs to capture it and once that is done, Tiffany will leave and then Spenser will appear.
 * Back at the Ranger base in Ringtown, Spenser will compliment Lunick on completing the mission and assigns them Rank 6.
 * After patrolling the city again, Lunick will be asked to complete another mission once they talk again to Spenser.
 * Apparently an old man is lost in the woods and Lunick is asked to find them and escort them out of the forest.
 * Solana joins them on a little bit of the way and they find a crying girl that has lost her Jigglypuff so while Solana waits with the little girl, Lunick looks for the Jigglypuff.
 * When the Pokémon and the girl are reunited, Solana will leave as well.
 * Soon, Lunick should find the old man named Gordor and together they will try to leave the jungle. A Murkrow will play tricks on them and then hides into a tree - in order to get it out, Lunick has to catch Phanpy and shake the tree, then Lunick can catch the Murkrow and they can leave the forest.
 * Murph, one of the Rangers of the Ringtown Rangers, comes and escorts Lunick out of the forest after Gordor leaves on his own.
 * Spenser congratulates Lunick and assigns them Rank 7.
 * Cameron sends Lunick a message and asks them to come to Summerland - now that Lunick is Rank 7, they can use the Dragonite bus and after catching the Dragonite, it will fly Lunick to Summerland.
 * Cameron tells Lunick he has a present for them, which turns out to be a submersible but it has parts missing.
 * Solana turns up and Cameron tells them and Lunick they should try out the challenge in the Jungle Relic, which Joel and Spenser tried as well when they were younger, warning them not to complete the fourth challenge.
 * The two Rangers head to the Jungle Relic, where Lunick caught Politoed earlier on, and inside they find a statue of an Entei. The challenges can be held in whatever order Lunick prefers, however there are two mysterious men standing outside one of the doors to the challenges, claiming to be scientists but they are dressed in Go-Rock Squad uniforms.
 * Challenge of Wind: Lunick must choose the correct ways in a maze. A statue gives the hint "at times you shall oppose them, at times you shall accept" (the directions the wind is blowing). Once Lunick completes the maze, he will find himself in a round room where a Flygon waits for him; upon capturing it, this challenge is complete and a set of flames appears at the Entei statue.
 * Challenge of Destruction: Lunick needs to use Pokémon (which fall from the ceiling) to clear different hurdles with the Pokémon's Field moves. Afterwards, Lunick is once again in a round room and this time they encounter a Salamence. After capturing it, the challenge is complete and another set of flames appears at the Entei statue.
 * Challenge of Water: There is a straight line to walk for Lunick but a couple of Gyarados spit water balls at Lunick, trying to throw him off. However, if Lunick manages to walk towards the end of the line, they will encounter two Kingdra. After the capture, the challenge is complete and a third set of flames appears at the Entei statue.
 * The scientists have left now and Solana suggests just to take a look at the challenge but not to complete it. In there, Lunick meets the Go-Rock Quads again and they tell Lunick and Solana that the Charizard, which is standing behind them, is in pain so Lunick's goal is now to capture the Charizard to calm it down.
 * Afterwards the Go-Rock Quads tells them that capturing the Charizard was the last challenge and when Lunick and Solana leave the challenge, they see that all flames are lit and as they look at the Entei statue, it disappears. They leave the Jungle Relic but after an earthquake, they run back inside and the Jungle Relic is now a volcano.
 * Aria appears and is angry with Lunick and Solana for solving the last challenge. She runs off to save the situation and Lunick has to catch up with her; when he finally does, Aria tells him that she failed to beat the Go-Rock Squad member upstairs. It turns out to be Clyde and he attacks Lunick with a Slaking. When Lunick defeats him and walks forward, they meet Gordor again, the old man they found in the Lyra forest. He sends Entei at Lunick and they need to capture the legendary Pokémon; after a successful capture, Gordor tells them that his mission was a success because he can capture legendary Pokémon but he is not yet able to fully control them - after a normal Ranger captures them, they can still run off.
 * Back at the Ranger base in Summerland, Lunick is asked to head back to Fall City and at the Ranger base there, they are met with Professor Hastings, who gives Lunick the mission to go to the Factory together with the Professor. The Professor will find out the pass code to enter the factory very quickly and with the help of a Meowth the two are able to walk inside the factory. As they walk over a bridge that connects the two-part building on the outside, they see the Go-Rock Quads practicing their introduction and after that Garret stays at the factory while the other three leave to go into the city.
 * Inside, Lunick and the professor find a Pikachu inside of a cage - the Go-Rock Squad use the Pokémon for the electricity in the building. Lunick needs to catch Pinsir to cut open the cage and free Pikachu. Soon after they find a second Pikachu under the same circumstances in another part of the building and a second Pinsir helps them free the Pikachu. After that they discover a Raichu in a cage with thicker bars and with the help of a Scyther, they shut down the last generator, hence bringing the factory to a standstill.
 * When Lunick and the professor are on their way out, Garret stops them with their Scizor; after catching it, Garret runs off and the professor decides it is time for them to leave as well. He assigns Lunick to Rank 8.
 * Soon after Joel and the professor send Lunick to Wintown but because Lunick hasn't been there yet, they can't use the Dragonite bus so Lunick makes his way to Summerland, where Cameron gave him a submersible. Some parts are missing, though, so Lunick goes into the jungle together with Summerland's mechanic - however, due to the mechanic's fear of bugs, he runs off every time Lunick interacts with a Bug type Pokémon.
 * If Lunick manages to avoid the bugs they will end up at a small pond with the missing parts for the submersible - a Magikarp which the mechanic accidentally kicks.
 * The hurt Magikarp calls an Gyarados for help and after Lunick manages to capture the Gyarados and a few Magikarp, the mechanic and Lunick head back to Summerland with the missing parts.
 * The mechanic then fixes the submersible, which Cameron calls Aquamole, and waits at the pier for Lunick, where he can jump inside and travels through a tunnel to Wintown; which just so happens to be the next mission.
 * A man named Silent Chris meets Lunick once they get out of the Aquamole and tells him to follow him. On their way out they notice an earthquake and it turns out to be caused by a Steelix, which then falls asleep in the middle of the way. After waking it up, it flees and Silent Chris and Lunick meet up with Elita, the Ranger leader of Wintown.
 * Lunick continues on their own for a little bit and run into the Steelix again, which they have to capture to calm it down and once again the Go-Rock Squad turns up and admits they enraged the Pokémon for their own benefits.
 * Elita and Chris run after the Go-Rock Grunt but he runs away too quickly and Elita promotes Lunick to Ranger Rank 9 for solving the problems.
 * Afterwards, Elita assigns Lunick the next mission, which means they have to cause trouble in the Go-Rock Squad's hideout while Spenser steals their Superstyler prototype.
 * Lunick meets Aria once again and they see the Charizard from the Jungle Relic challenges, which is still upset and burning the trees.
 * After Lunick captures the Charizard once more, Aria and the player continue to find the Go-Rock Squad's hideout in the mountains and when they're almost there, Aria receives a message from Elita that she is needed back in Wintown.
 * The Hideout has a lot of traps for Lunick, including floor tiles that recognize movement and alert the Go-Rock Squad, a lot of free-running Pokémon, Go-Rock Grunts that fight Lunick and teleportation floor tiles that make it confusing to remember where Lunick has already been and how to find the right way ahead.
 * At one point, Lunick runs into Solana who tells them, "I was ordered to assist your mission. But you know what? I would've come even if I wasn't ordered. Eheheh." Together they continue and first they need to fight Tiffany, who has two Camerupt this time. When she is defeated, she runs into her brother Clyde's room. He then tries to avenge Tiffany by sending Slaking, Vigoroth and Slakoth into the fight. The two siblings then run into Garret's room, who attacks with two Scyther and a Scizor. The three of them go downstairs after that where Billy's room is. The oldest brother sends the hardest enemies into the game so far; Larvitar, Pupitar, and Tyranitar. After the player catches the Pokémon, they set of a self-destruct button and run off. Spenser catches up to them and orders Lunick and Solana to flee the crumbling hideout as well.
 * Back in Wintown Elita promotes Lunick to Ranger Rank 10.
 * Together with Solana, Lunick walks back into the mountains and a Go-Rock Grunt shuts a door in front of their face - a three-fire Field Move is required but none is near when suddenly the Charizard turns up and repays Lunick for helping it by opening the door for them. There is another mystical door which opens if three chosen Pokémon are placed on pedestals and Lunick needs to capture Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon to proceed.
 * At the top of the temple is Gordor and he has now completed his Super Styler which is used like an instrument, subtly revealing that the instruments the Go-Rock Quads used were Stylers as well.
 * Gordor sends Raikou at Lunick who then has to capture it and afterwards Suicune as well.
 * Gordor claims it does not matter because he can still control Entei with his Super Styler, which Plusle and Minun then destroy by jumping on it.
 * Entei becomes angry and attacks Gordor. By capturing it, Lunick both calms down Entei and saves Gordor.
 * Spenser appears at the top of the temple after Gordor runs off and Solana explains what happened.
 * A scene shows Gordor and Professor Hastings talking, revealing that Gordor used to work together with the professor, but he was angry that his inventions and his genius were always overshadowed by the professor. The professor offers him to work together with him in the lab, but Gordor refuses and walks away angrily.
 * Outside the temple, people are waiting and cheering on Lunick when they emerge from the temple.
