I read Beauty and the Buizel by Riley Sky and it inspired me to write my own. So here is a retelling of one of my favourite Disney movies: Mulan, starring the characters of Pokemon Ranger Shadow of Almia. The story itself also borrows elements from a manga based on the same story called Kaze yo Banri wo Kake yo (Wind Fly over a Thousand Leagues). At the end (credits) I'll write who is who is you didn't realize while reading.

I do not own the movie or the manga.

At a watch tower in the northern most part of Almia, a ranger was standing watch, looking for any sign of intruders or anything suspicious. The night was quiet, everything seemed peaceful. Suddenly, there was a flicker of movement that caught the ranger's eye, and then more appeared and moved closer until the ranger could make out the black uniform they were wearing.

"Team Dim Sun is attacking! I must alert the Union." The ranger ran towards the room full of messenger bird pokemon. However the way was blocked by the sudden appearance of a man in a business suit with a Murkrow on his shoulder. He smirked and the ranger was surprised and frightened.

The ranger grit his teeth and charged through. Upon entering the room, he immediately released the messenger to relay distress and emergency. The Swellow flew off into the sky, flying southward towards the Union.

The ranger turned triumphantly towards the man in the suit and said, "Now the Union knows that you have attacked."

"Perfect, that will do nicely." The man, Blake Hall coolly replied.

Over at Union headquarters, one of the top rangers had received the message that the Swellow had sent and ran over to the office of Professor Hastings to relay the news.

"Professor, Team Dim Sun has been sighted in HiaValley, they have attacked one of the watch towers. Should we increase the rangers stationed near the Union for protection?"

The professor raised a hand and said, "No need, gather more trainees. One ranger may the difference between victory and defeat."

The top ranger nodded his head in acknowledgment and left the room.

The final confrontation with Team Dim Sun was about to occur. One group would stand on top and survive, at the moment it was uncertain who.
