The game takes place in the [[Oblivia]] region, a peaceful archipelago. The Pokémon Pinchers, who capture and control Pokémon using devices called [[Control Gauntlets]], have been operating individually in the region for some time, but have recently started to act as a group. [[Professor Hastings]] sends two new Rangers, {{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}}, to Oblivia to investigate the Pinchers' actions, and stop them if necessary. Either one may be chosen as the [[player character]]; the other will appear as an NPC with his or her default name.

Several characters from the first two Ranger games make appearances, including Professor Hastings, [[Murph]], and the [[Go-Rock Quads]]. The [[Legendary beasts]], the [[Legendary birds]], the [[Eon duo]], the [[Tower duo]] and {{p|Celebi}} play important roles in the game.

After the main game, there is a postgame involving Celebi taking the player to the past to stop the [[Steelhead]]s from taking over Oblivia. In this, the player must complete timed quests with certain goals, and have a boss battle at the end.

Back at Booker's house, shortly after the player explains the situation, a village boy named {{ra|Ralph}} rushes over and says that the "UFOs" have returned, headed towards [[Teakwood Forest]], and that a local lumberjack named [[Arley]] pursued them and has not returned. The player and Ralph head after them as well and find the Pinchers in [[Rasp Cavern]], stealing a piece of a stone monument. An angered {{p|Raikou}} appears and chases the Pinchers away.

The player and Ralph head after them as well and find the Pinchers in [[Rasp Cavern]], stealing a piece of a stone monument. An angered {{p|Raikou}} appears and chases the Pinchers away.


The piece of the monument is revealed to be something known as an Involith. The Pokémon Pinchers plan to retrieve Involiths from monuments around Oblivia in order to awaken the [[legendary birds]]. Once the three legendary birds awaken, a strong Pokémon will appear and help them in their scheme to control the Oblivia region. However, this angers the [[legendary beasts]]. The player must calm down the legendary beasts, while trying to foil the Pinchers' plan. Although the player manages to prevent [[Blue Eyes]] and [[Red Eyes]] from completing the Pinchers' plan, the leader [[Purple Eyes]] does not want to give up on controlling the Oblivia region.

After the three legendary birds awaken, the player encounters the [[Societea]], a group of four retired thieves behind the actions of the Pokémon Pinchers. They decided to revive their group and took control of the Pokémon Pinchers in hopes of obtaining eternal youth by summoning the [[Golden Armor]]. The Societea revives the ancient [[Sky Fortress]] that was the power source of an Ancient Ruler, and vaporize Dolce Island to show the citizens of Oblivia their power.

The Societea revives the ancient [[Sky Fortress]] that was the power source of an Ancient Ruler, and vaporize Dolce Island to show the citizens of Oblivia their power.


Before the player can infiltrate the Sky Fortress, he or she must find the [[Rainbow Grail]] and take it to the Rainbow Dais on the sea floor to summon a {{p|Ho-Oh}}. After he or she captures Ho-Oh, it destroys the barrier around the Sky Fortress. The player may now enter the fortress, which acts as the game's final dungeon, and challenge the Societea. After capturing the {{p|Mewtwo}} controlled by the leader of the Societea, [[Edward]], Purple Eyes appears again and takes control of {{p|Mewtwo}}. After defeating Mewtwo again, the Sky Fortress begins to fall, which would cause a wave that can destroy Oblivia. However, Ho-Oh lends the player its power again, making the fortress land safely in the ocean.
