SOSSubs is proud to present the Pokémon Ranger: Traces of Light! (or "Hikari no Kiseki" in Japan and "Guardian Signs" for the western world.)

This is a two-parter anime special that aims to be a glorified commercial for the then upcoming Nintendo DS games of the same title. While nothing overly exciting, this special is a bit of a rarity specifically in Japan. It saw a limited release only being aired on TV once and then available online & through rental DVD for a very limited time. Big thanks to Puto for restoring this one to it's original form using the best sources we could find!

This release contains 2 audio tracks. The Japanese AC3 audio lifted directly from the Japanese DVD and the English AAC track taken from the dub video on Pokemon.com.
If you're watching through MPC-HC, there's a strange bug where it defaults to the English track (Track 2). This doesn't happen with any other player I've tried. Given MPC-HC is deprecated, this isn't an issue I'm too bothered about fixing. This is just a heads up.

This special aired during the Diamond & Pearl era. If you're watching along at home, the special aired between 166 & 167, just before the Pokémon Ranger episode itself. Though it doesn't tie-in to the main series in any way, I'd personally suggest watching it after 168 (as this ends on a cliff hanger).
