It was a beautiful Saturday morning and Will went to check the mail
"Bills, bills, junk, what's this?" said Will as he found something addressed to him, it was an invitation and it read;
Dear Trainer you are cordially invited to a party on the S.S Anne in Vermillion City today, casual dress is a must! A bus will pick you up at precisely
11:30am by your local Pokémon Center. You also must bring your Pokémon (Min.1, Max.6) No battles on board please! We hope to see you there!
Will thought it was cool that he was chosen to go to the party and he had his Cubone. Will had went inside to show his mother the letter;
"Hey ma, I got invited to a party on the S.S Anne" said Will
"Wow, Will that's amazing! Ya know I went to one of those parties on the S.S Anne back when I was a trainer" replied his mother
Will smiled and went up to get dressed even though he had a good three hours before he had to be at the ship. Cubone was fast asleep but got
woken up by Will rushing into his bedroom; Cubone let out a little yawn and scratched his belly.
"Get up Cubone, you and me are going to a party!" exclaimed Will as he put on a white shirt, threw on an unbuttoned blue shirt, blue jeans and
black sneakers and Cubone just stood there, Will then went downstairs and when his mother saw him she was cross.
"Oh no, no, no are you going to a party dressed like that, you look like a damn thug!" exclaimed his mother
Will looked down at his attire and saw nothing wrong with it, but his mother did
"Go upstairs to your room, put on that nice argyle sweater vest and wear your white shirt underneath it, throw on a pair of dress pants and a nice
pair of shoes, now!" said his mom. Will was a little upset but he did as his mother said, Cubone came downstairs to Will's mom who picked him up.
"I've got something for you as well sweetie!" squealed Will's mom as she tickled Cubone's tummy
Will went up to his room and put on the clothes his mother told him to wear; he sprayed on a little cologne and combed his hair. Will felt like an
idiot but casual dress was a must! So Will went downstairs to his mother who was holding Cubone and she had put a little blue bowtie around
Cubone's neck, Will was cross at the idea;
"No way is Cubone wearing that thing" said Will
"Why? I think he looks so presentable" squealed his mother and much to Will's dismay, what his mother says goes.
Will looked at the clock and it read 10:15am and Will decided to get going, he took Cubone from his mother's arms and kissed her goodbye, he
grabbed his cell phone as well and began to walk to the Pokémon Center. It was only a few blocks away from Will, he had gotten there and
Cubone had began to fall asleep in his arms due to the fact he got woken up by Will which made him a little grumpy but he went to sleep, Will saw
a few trainers in front of the Pokémon Center and he saw a blue/green haired man and a blond haired woman standing there, the man was
wearing a black three piece suit and the woman was wearing a long black dress. Will didn't know them but he went up to talk;
"Hey, you guys look familiar I swear I've seen you somewhere" said Will as the couple began to get a little nervous.
"I know, I've seen you guys shopping at the Pokémon Mart" said Will as the couple just shook their heads in agreement and Will then walked
away.
"Whoa Cassidy, that punk nearly blew our cover!" exclaimed the man
"No kidding, that was a real close shave Hutch" replied Cassidy
"It's BUTCH!" he growled under his breath
The bus had arrived earlier than scheduled and everyone got on, Butch and Cassidy followed closely behind Will as they had their sights set on
Cubone.
"That Cubone is gonna fetch us a pretty penny!" said Butch to Cassidy in an oily tone of voice
"Shut up Butch, I don't want him to hear us!" said Cassidy through her teeth
"The name's Bu- oh wait you said that" replied Butch
Butch and Cassidy also had their sights set on everyone else's Pokémon as well but since Cubone was a baby he was worth a whole heck of a lot
more. Cubone had awoken from his slumber in Will's arms and he let off a yawn;
"Ya have a nice nap little guy?" asked Will. Cubone shook his head yes and he stretched as well, the bus was heading to Vermillion City which was
a really long way from Saffron but there were other trainers on the bus he could get acquainted with but he chose not to and Cubone just like his
owner didn't even want to mingle with the other Pokémon.
"Guess we're gonna be the wallflowers" joked Will
Butch then tapped Will on the shoulder
"Hey kid, where'd you snag that Cubone from?" he asked
"Oh, I found him in Pewter City a month ago, he's a baby" replied Will
Butch then whispered something to Cassidy and she shook her head, Will just brushed it off but little did he or any other trainer on the bus for that
matter know what was to come once they boarded the S.S Anne.
