Solana is a major character inPokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission as the co-worker ofLunick.

Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission

She first appears to contactLunick after one of his missions to inform him that the Ranger Leaders, Spenser, Joel, and Elita have failed in their mission to capture aDeoxys and have been defeated.

After the Ranger Leaders were taken back to be healed, Solana and Lunick review the battle from Joel's Capture Styler. Soon after, Professor Hastings arrives and gives the two Rangers the mission to finish what the Ranger Leaders had started and capture Deoxys.

Solana and Lunick capture several Pokémon to prepare for their fight against Deoxys and go toLyra Forest to confront it. Soon after, they are attacked by Deoxys who quickly changes form and runs intoKrokka Tunnel. Fearing what would happen if Deoxys gets toFall City, Solana attempts to capture it, only for it to change form to dodge her Styler.

They are quickly surrounded by theGo-Rock Quads, Tiffany, Garret, Clyde, and Billy who have defeated the final Ranger Leader, Cameron, and taken theManaphy Pokémon Egg he had found. The two release themselves from Deoxys's grip, and Solana goes after Tiffany, who had been sent to take the Egg to the Quads' secret hideout, leaving Lunick to face the other three alone.

Solana follows Tiffany to theSekra Range and combats her for possession of the Manaphy Egg. Due to Tiffany having a Super Styler, an upgraded Capture Styler that had its designs stolen from Professor Hastings, she has the advantage in the fight. However, Joel sends Solana a message about how to capture Deoxys, which she relays to Lunick by usingPoké Assists. The message is revealed to be "Normal", which gives Lunick the idea to destroy the other Super Stylers to force Deoxys back into its Normal Forme, allowing him to capture and free it.

Solana then has Minun break Tiffany's Super Styler, defeating her and winning back the Manaphy Egg in the process. After the Quads retreat, Solana and Lunick take Cameron and the Egg back to Professor Hastings's lab. Due to Fiore not having Trainers, everyone decides to send the Manaphy Egg to the Sinnoh Region to find a proper Trainer to take care of it. Soon after, Solana and Lunick leave on another mission to stop aGrimer outbreak in the Fall CityWaterworks.

Trivia

• Solana's European Spanish name is a reference to the moon, rather than the sun like all her other names. This is most likely due to the fact that the deity after which she is named sounds similar to her English name. Lunick's Spanish name is likewise a reference to the sun.
• The Pokémon Ranger 4 Piece Collector Pin Set at PokemonCenter.com calls SolanaHiromi, possibly indicating a name from before "Hinata" was finalized.^[1] It is also the Japanese name ofLizabeth fromPokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.
• Lunick and Solana share similarities with theplayer characters ofPokémon Sun, Moon,Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon:
  • Both pairs of characters are named after the sun and moon. InPokémon Ranger, the female and male player characters are named after the sun and moon respectively, while the naming of the player characters of Sun and Moon is the other way around.
    • In European Spanish, the gender name scheme matches between the player characters of both games, as both male characters are named after the sun and both female characters are named after the moon. Additionally, Solana's European Spanish name and Selene's name are almost identical.
