Ranger Union: Difference between revisions

The '''Ranger Union''' (Japanese: '''レンジャーユニオン''' ''Ranger Union'') is an organization in the Pokémon Ranger series that aims to protect humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Members of the organization are known as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s, who use [[Capture Styler]]s to maintain peace in the [[region]] where they work. The Ranger Union is known to operate in [[Fiore]], [[Almia]], and [[Oblivia]].

The Ranger Union headquarters are located west of [[Altru Park]] in Almia, and can be reached by traveling along [[Union Road]]. The organization was founded and led by [[Erma|Chairperson Erma]]. [[Hastings|Professor Hastings]], the creator of the [[Capture Styler]], also works here, along with [[Murph]], [[Rhythmi]], {{ra|Linda}}, and Marcus.

The Ranger Union operates four [[Ranger Base]]s in Fiore.

The Ranger Union headquarters play a major part in the story of Shadows of Almia. The player visits once with [[Barlow]] while stationed at the [[Vientown]] [[Ranger Base]]. They are promoted to the rank of [[Top Ranger]] after the events at the [[Cargo Ship]], and move to the Ranger Union headquarters to continue their Ranger duties there. Late in the game, after clearing the [[Oil Field Hideout]], the building is attacked by [[Team Dim Sun]], and the player must defend the institution.

Pokémon Rangers in Oblivia take orders directly from the Ranger Union, as there are no Ranger Bases in Oblivia. The Union's map room can be seen briefly in the game's opening and epilogue, this time displaying a map of Oblivia rather than Almia.
