Arceus
You want my treasure? You can have it! I've left everything I gathered together in one place. Now, you just have to find it.
These words have lured men into the Grand Line and pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine.
This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!
Ambipom! The Pokémon Who's Gonna be King of the Pirates!
This is the Pokémon universe, a land where both man and Pokémon live together in society. However throughout this universe it is well known to be the terrain grounds of Pokémon Pirates, those powerful enough to claim the seas. To which our story starts in the pristine and bright open seas of the East Blue. A lone barrel was spotted drifting the shores, oddly enough the barrel was snoring peacefully in an endless slumber. As the snoring barrel continues to drift aimlessly around the seas, it finally took an abrupt stop as it was halted by a yacht.
"Huh? oh, hey a barrel!" said a figure. on deck as the person spotted the barrel.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Reel it in!" his friend said as the man grabbed a fishing rod and reeled in the barrel. Unfortunately, it missed.
"Dangit. Missed again." the man said.
"Strike three pal." his 'pal' taunted.
"I'll say, you suck, dude!" a man on the crow's nest snickered. It was then that the two worked together and reeled in the barrel. Surprisingly enough, the barrel was quite heavy indeed.
"Geez, this thing is heavy!" the crewman strained.
"Maybe it's beer," assumed the crewman. "Whatever the case, it's our beer now!"
"SHIP OFF THE PORT BOW!" the lookout yelled fearfully grabbing the crew's attention. "AND IT'S WAVING A PIRATE FLAG! WE'VE GOT A PIRATE SHIP ON PURSUIT!
He was indeed correct. Just sailing ahead, came a pirate ship indeed. It was a purple galleon with flags with a squid as it's symbol. And it's Jolly Roger, It was a symbol of a purple eye. In the Pokémon world, it's the symbol for the Psychic type Pokémon. It was at that moment that the ship was firing a barrage of cannons at the yacht.
The impact of the canons were powerful enough that the passengers on board the cruise were actually falling over, embracing the impact.
"Captain, pirates are attacking the ship!" the crewman yelled, taking the captain aback by shock. The blast was enough to attract the guests of the cruise ship, both human and Pokémon. It was dire indeed, at that moment, it was enough to make the audience go at a frenzy.
"Everyone, remain calm! Panicking will only get you hurt!" the captain yelled. "Just remain calm and follow my crew's command at an ordinary fashion!"
It didn't help. Everyone was only panicking and escaping frivolously out of the banquet hall...all except one person...no Pokémon: it was a well dressed and pampered yellow fennec fox walking on two legs, wearing a pristine pink dress. She only looked mischievously.
o0o
"FIRE!" the captain of the pirate ship yelled as they continued their barrage of cannons directly at the yacht. Heck, they even blasted off the ship's figurehead.
"OSHAWOTT!" the captain yelled. A small little white otter Pokemon approached the large Pirate as he looked in fear.
"Y-Yes, Captain?" Oshawott responded.
"Tell me, who's the most beautiful Pokemon of all, far greater than any human would ever dare to see?" Jinx asks. In fear, the Oshawott answered.
"Oh uh t-t-th-who else would be as beautiful as t-the captain of our ship, Lady of Psychic and Ice L-L-Lady Jynx of c-course!" stuttered the little otter.
Revealing herself is a large Pokémon with bright yellow hair covered with a large white hat, and her crimson lips smiling and wearing a large red dress and cape, carrying a large steel bat. It was the captain of the Kiss Pirates: Jynx, the human-shaped Pokémon.
"Good answer, my boy, good answer HAHAHA!" she cackled.
"T-the feelings mutual, your benevolent," Oshawott said bashfully.
"Ahhhhh It's been a while, since we've done this, don't ya think?" Jynx sighed.
"Now guess who's back in action? ME! Men, hard to port, let's make this a raid that everyone will NEVER forget! After this raid, they'll all know the name of ME: Jynx AND THE KISS PIRATES! The feared tyrants of the seas!" She yelled out rallying her army of human men and Pokémon
"YES, MA'AM! her entire crew shouted as the pirates steered hard to the cruise ship and began their plunder and began swinging to the other side of the ship. All except one. Jinx looked in disappointment as to why Oshawott was still on board.
"OI OSHAWOTT! What are you still doing on board?" Jynx barked at the frightened otter.
"Well i-it's just tha-" the little Oshawott tries to say, but couldn't get the words out.
"What? 'your not too good at this?' Well maybe if you weren't BACK-TALKING me all the time, you might actually get the hang of it!" Jynx barked ready to pound Oshawott's little face in.
"Not the club, Ma'am! ANYTHING BUT THE CLUB!" Oshawott yells out as he held his head in terror.
"No club?" Jynx said presently as Oshawott frequently shook his head no. "THEN GET YOUR ASS UP THERE!" she yelled as she grabbed him by the tail fin, and threw him to the other side of the ship.
"GET MOVING!" Jinx yelled out.
"Y-y-yes ma'am! I'm on it, ma'am!" shivered the little otter as he ran down the bottom of the cruise ship.
Meanwhile on the banquet hall, everyone on board the ship was held hostage by Jynx's crew as their blades sharpened and all were pointed at almost everyone. And with most of the Pokémon, captured, the humans were basically defenseless against them.
"Now, don't worry, we won't take your lives. We WILL take everything else on board however," one man says as the other snickered. This could just be the end of everyone on board this unfortunate ship
o0o
Oshawott's P.O.V
"Hello? Is anyone here?" I cried. Doesn't look like anyone's here. Looks like I found myself in the kitchen, smells like the chef was making crab, those poor little guys. Sometimes being in a kitchen really makes me jittery, just THINK of what they'll do to me if they found me
"Huh?" Found something, jackpot! That's one big barrel, I'll give you that. Maybe that'll be enough to haul over to the ship. So I... ugh I... grrr. I...GrrrrWHATSWITHTHISBARREL! Geez, this thing is so freaking heavy! Then again, it's...MUCH larger than me.
All right, All right, I can do this...I just gotta...I gotta use my head, that's it! I can try pushing with all my might with my flippers. It was a struggle, but I rolled the heavy barrel to the door on my journey to get back to the ship w-
"Well well well if it isn't the cowardly cabin boy." drat looks like James and Meowth found me. These two were always so futile, especially with me.
"What's that you got there, Little Oshy?" they like to call me that instead of my actual name. Meowth soon spotting the barrel. Of course he spotted it, this things freaking larger than me!
"A barrel that big can only mean one thing, we've got ourselves some exquisite drinks for the ship!" a human crewman said.
"I don't know, what if Jynx finds out with it, she'll kill us!" I protested.
"Who said she'll find out? Y'know, if you keep your mouth shut, that is." Butch retorted. I don't want to face Butch or James' fists, and ESPECIALLY Meowth's claws, but then again I REALLY don't want to face Captain Jynx! So uh... I decided to leave it at that and let Butch do the honors.
"Hehehehe. Let's open this baby up!" Butch said readying his fists whereas I only braced for impact if he BREAKS the barrel. He threw his fist and-
BAM! "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
W-w-WHAT THE HELL? The barrel opened itself REVEALING ANOTHER POKEMON?!
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAT!" THE HECK IT'S A GUY! someone completely knocked out Butch making James and Meowth n-WAIT HE WAS SLEEPING IN THE BARREL?!
Actually, adjusting myself the 'guy' I mentioned...wasn't a guy at all, but a Pokémon just like me. I believe this Pokemon's a wide-grinned Ambipom? He was wearing a red vested shirt and jean shorts, ol yellow feet and a big ol' straw hat resting on his head. Ambipoms...nor Aipoms themselves don't even have hands, they have those nubs, but they have a large double handed tails that can really pack a wallop.
Ambipom looked at his surroundings and saw Butch knocked out. He then turned to James and Meowth and let out one question that baffled all of us.
"Who the hell are you guys?" was the first thing the purple monkey asks
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" cried out Meowth and James.
"Y'know your friend will catch a cold sleeping on the floor, like that." Ambipom talked back dodging the question.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KNOCKED HIM OUT, DUMBASS!" cried the boys as they then drew their weapons and pointed them at Ambipom. Frankly, I was just looking agape at this whole ordeal.
"Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute! are you playing with us? You do realize we're pirates, RIGHT?!" Meowth yelled pointing their blades at him, but the straw hat-dawning Ambipom only ignored him and went on turned to me.
"I'm hungry, any food on board this ship?" he asked.
"DON'T IGNORE US, YOU TWIT!" Meowth yelled trying to get the monkey Pokemon's attention.
"YOU DUMB BRAAAAT! THIS'LL TEACH YA!" Meowth yelled as he readied his claws, and James readying his sword, and sprang up at the Pokémon. OH CRAP THEY'RE GONNA KILL US!
"LOOK OUT!" I had to do something, they were gonna cut his head clean off! I braced for impact, and awaited the sound of blade meeting head...anytime now...the heck? I didn't hear anything, did t-t-t-t-th-their blades we cut in half?!
James and Meowth looked at the Pokémon in shock and confusion, as did I. Seriously who is this guy?
"The hell's wrong with you two?" IS THAT THE ONLY THING HE HAD TO SAY TO THEM!?
"Th-that's impossible, those are solid steel blades! W-who the hell are you?!" James yelled, I didn't show it because I was shaking to the brink of wetting myself, but I seriously agreed with him, WHO THE HELL IS HE?!
"Me? The name's Monkey D. Ambipom, or Ambi. It's mighty nice to meet ya." the monkey said casually. That was just enough to make James and Meowth grab the unconscious Butch run away screaming to their mommies in fear, while I have just one question in mind,
"What just happened?" I simply said baffled.
"Beats me." the Ambipom replied. But then it hits me. He'll be dead if anyone finds out he's here!
"Listen, you have to get out of here! If they come back with their buddies, you'll be killed off, at the spot!" I said in panic, but Ambipom only giggled!
" I don't care about that, I'm just hungry!" I looked at the Ambipom as if he was a madman. HUNGRY?! AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!
"HOW COULD YOU JUST BLOW THIS OFF LIKE IT'S NOTHING?! Don't you realize that you're in big trouble if they find you?! We're talking about vicious and dangerous cutthroats that would kill off ANYTHING they see unpleasing to their eyes!" he only waved his nub like arm dismissively and walked off, I can't let him die!
I seriously pulled on to his arm to stop him, but he was too strong, he was marching off, even while I'm still on him, AND TO THINK HE'S ONLY DOING THIS FOR FOOD! I tried to stop him, but the moment he got to the door he closed it in my face...how unpleasant.
"I knew there was some food around here!" he yelled looking at the supply of food in the yacht's food storage. Hmmm...food storage, as long as no one else gets hungry, I think we're safe in here. So uh...I guess since we're just alone here, I went ahead and introduced myself to the straw hat dawning Ambipom.
"So uh...Ambi, right? My name is...Oshawott." I started. "That was a pretty neat trick you did, popping out of the barrel like that." I said starting up a conversation while Ambi was scarfing down all the food in stock...that Ambipom can eat, I'll give him that.
"This is some tasty stuffy."Ambipom said, scarfing down all the apples in the crate. "So this is a pirate ship, right?" he asks.
"No it's more of a cruise ship, but it's being raided by pirates, as we speak. Specifically, they're pirates led by the notorious Lady Jynx of the Kiss Pirates." I answered.
"Any boats on board?" Ambipom asked dismissing the fact that this is KINDA a big deal. But I answered him anyway.
"I think I saw some." I answered.
"Great, because I need one. Mine got sucked in a whirlpool." He says dismissively... OK THAT caught me off guard.
"A-A WHIRLPOOL?! How did you escape?! I don't think anyone's able to survive one of those."
"Yep, took me by surprise, but I got away quickly. The future King of the Pirates deserves to die honorably then in some stupid whirlpool." Ambipom said in confidence.
"Yeah I guess y-y-wait what?" I asked completely off guard from what he just said. Did I hear the Pokémon right? King...of the Pirates? We're not talking about bravado anymore...t-that's just a death wish!
"You heard me right." I was afraid of that, but he continued.
"I came to these oceans for one reason and one reason only. To fulfill Arceus' legacy: To find the One Piece and become King of the Pirates!" Ambipom declared. He seems pretty confident in himself and all, but I swear he's a lost cause waiting to happen! That declaration is as crazy as he is! There's no way anyone can find the One Piece and actually LIVE.
"You're a crazy one aren't you?" I simply asks.
"Yep, I guess I am!" AND HE SAYS THAT SO NONCHALANTLY! "But enough about me, what about you, Oshawott? Are you a pirate or a passenger, in all this?" uh-wow. That's a first anyone ever asked me that. Well, we've been through THAT much, I guess I can tell him my story.
"Pirate." I said bluntly. "But it wasn't my choice. My REAL dream is evolve and become a marine and capture those pirates, and bring them to justice." I declared.
"Eh, I don't like evolving. But hey, what's stoppin' ya?" Aipom asked. Time to let it all out.
"It all started when I went out to catch some fish for my dad. I found a rowboat sitting on the docks, so I might as well use it, since nobody's around- boy was I wrong. When I actually caught a bite...it was an ambush, by...her, Lady Jynx. Sparing my life, she forced me under her command as punishment for stealing one of her rowboats, and now I'm forced to spend the rest of my life...as a cabin boy."
"You're stupid." HUH?!
"HUH?!"
"If you didn't want to be a cabin boy in the first place, just leave."
"THIS IS THE PSYCHIC AND ICE TYPE LADY JYNX WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE! SHE'S THE SCARIEST PIRATE ALIVE, IF YOU HAD SOME SENSE YOU SHOULDN'T DARE CROSS WITH HER!" I screamed out in panic but, he...he only giggled.
"HA! Stupid and a coward? You're not really a fun guy, ha-ha!" Some friend he is...WAIT WAIT WAIT! King of the Pirates?
"Wait WAIT, back on topic! WHAT DO YOU MEAN KING OF THE PIRATES?!" I yelled out, There's JUST no way anyone like him would dare to set these seas for that! No one as stupid as him anyway...unless...
"A-A-Ambipom? A-a-are you a p-p-p-"
"Pirate? Of course I am!" Ambipom answered nonchalantly.
"Whe-whe-where's-"
"My crew? Don't have one yet." I only watched the crazed Pokémon only slack-jawed...AND THAT'S RIGHT! I SAID IT I'VE SEEN CRAZY POKEMON AND EVEN CRAZY HUMANS...MORESO THAN POKEMON, BUT THIS AMBIPOM JUST HIT THE TOP!
"Ambi, LISTEN TO ME, this isn't fun and games! To be King of the Pirates, you have to obtain EVERYTHING this world has to offer! You're talking wealth, fame, power, you're talking about succeeding in what the great Arceus HIMSELF obtain many years ago! YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE PIECE!" I warned
"I know, great huh?"
"GREAT! Thousands of pirates are searching for the treasure to the point of KILLING their own crewmen!"
"So?"
"SO?! There's no way someone like you will succeed when there are thousands out there that will hunt and kill! There's no way you'll be able to find it during this Pirate era! There's absolutely, positively NO WAY, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, NOT POSSIB-" I was completely cut off when my ENTIRE BODY was faced with one of Ambipom's tail. Why did he do that?
"That would've hurt if I wasn't so used to it." I grumbled.
"It's not about IF I get the One Piece" he said bringing back my attention.
"It's about wanting to get the One Piece. And boy, do I want it, big time. In fact, it was long ago I decided to be King of the Pirates and sailed out here. Should I die from those thousands of killers out there...I die. Nothin' I can do about it."
W-w-what?
"Right then, I'm good and full now, let's find me a boat. I'm sure the people on board are nice."
I guess I never thought of it that way.
"Hey, uh...Ambipom, What you said before, about getting what you want, If I were to set my mind into it, do you think I can do it?
"Do what?" he asked stopping his tracks.
"Become a marine."
"Become a marine?"
"YES BECOME A MARINE! Catching bad guys is the only thing I want in life! It's the only dream I've been so hoping would come true, ever since I was a little baby otter! WHEN I GROW UP TO BE A DEWOTT, I'M GONNA SHOW OFF MY POWERS TO ANY PIRATE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!" I said as I took out my blade. It was a blade like energy I can manifest from the shell I placed on the center of my belly. I soon looked up to the older Pokemon to repeat my question.
"So tell me Aipom, Do you thing...I have a chance?" I asked
"Who am I to answer that? You decide." he simply replied...I decide...? I don't think anyone's ever said that to me before.
"I...decide...then that's that." I said in determination.
"I'm gonna fulfill my dream. No longer am I going to be a cabin boy for the rest of my life, I'm going to join the Marines and then..and then I'll catch that ugly hag Jynx, too! And there's nothing that'll stop me!" I've made my declaration. And it's dead se-
BOOM!
All of a sudden there was a big bang, and someone suddenly blew a hole in the ceiling and fell down here. I waited for the smoke to clear to see who i-
"And just WHO are you going to capture, Torchic?" Oh, crap. crap crap crap crap crap, it's her.
"Do you really think a tiny little otter like you can capture ME? Moreover, you seriously believe that PATHETIC little Ambipom will help you? Well, ANSWER ME!" she came squirming to me...oh lord, I'm good as dead. There was nothing I could do, I was too jittery and shaky to actually do anything. She then looked off of me, and looked towards Ambipom. He's dead too!
"Hmm, you're definitely aren't no Pirate Hunter Sceptile, it's almost laughable that you believe that you can stop me." she sneered looking at the little monkey.
"Sceptile?" He asks
"OSHAWOTT!" she yelled as I completely let out an...well otter noises in fear as she turned back to me.
"Tell me again, who is the most beautiful in all of the seas?" t-t-this is a tricky question. I couldn't say anything, I was just paralyzed. I tried to say the words but they all came in jittery babbl-
"Hey, Oshawott, who's the fat ugly hag?"
HUH?! Both me AND Lady Jynx looked at him with our jaws practically dropped on the floor. Did he seriously say that...? H-He's insane...moreso than I ever believed. Jynx's regain movement of her jaw and let out a menacing growl. Her eyes, completely shadowed by her hat, even her nose was shooting out steam. To be frank, She. Is. Pissed.
Just when Jynx roared was about to unleash the wrath that is her club, Ambipom jumped out of the way and back to me. "C'mon let's get outta here." he says simply. and he-
"WHOAAAAAAAA!" jumped up high into the hole up to the topside deck, whereas I was grabbing on to his leg. But it just doesn't stop there. The rest of the crew surrounded us easily. The first two were about to slash our heads off but Ambipom only slammed a Pirate with one tail, and another with another tail. But I say this again- it doesn't end there.
A whole horde of my x crew mates were just about to dog-pile on the monkey, but he just jumped out of the way! What is he some sort of ninja?
"Missed me!" he taunted. I really couldn't believe what I'm seeing here. For a small Pokémon pirate with no sword, gun or anything, he can really hold out on his own, out there. Uh-oh...
"Look out!" I called out! A pirate dog was just about to topple down on him from higher grounds. Ambipom only took ONE STEP and it was all it takes to miss the attack, entirely.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's not fair to attack from behind." he taunted SIMPLY THROWING THE GUY WITH HIS TAIL TO THE OTHER GROUP! Jesus, this guy has bru-aaaaaand...more pirates. Just more pirates. I couldn't wait to see what he would do next...only to be let down, and he then ran away from them shouting that it's not fair to gang up on a guy, I can't lie, I agree with that. Just when his nubbed hand was caught to the mast...his ENTIRE arm stretched like it was rubber!
"Ha-ha, though I was scared right?" The crazy purple monkey casually said as the crew suddenly retreated in fear, completely scared of him. Not only is he a Pokémon, but he HAS POWERS TOO! These powers were all too familiar!
"Let's do this. 3...2...1 NOW! Gum-Gum Rocket!" Ambipom yelled as he was suddenly hurdling towards the crew entirely. It was crazy, completely crazy! I didn't know this guy was made of rubber! Is this a game or something?
"W-what was that?" I simply asked astonished.
"Aww, that's just my Devil Fruit Powers! See? I'm a rubber man." He said stretching out his mouth. I can't tell if I'm delusional or not, but this guy is crazy. I-I just never seen anyone like this. Devil Fruit Powers? Here in the East Blu-why did it get cold all of a sudden. I mean, there's no snow or nothing, Unless of course you're an Ice type and al-OH CRAP IT'S JYNX! SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME ISN'T SHE?!
"So, a Devil Fruit user, huh?" Jynx sneered.
"Yep, I ate the Gum-Gum fruit." Ambipom said.
"I see, I've heard rumors of those things, but never really believed it, until now. Seems you're stronger than any average starter type, so tell me are you a Bounty Hunter?" she instigated.
"Nah, just a pirate."
"All by yourself in THESE waters?" She pestered
"Don't worry, I'm only alone today. But soon, I'll find a crew on my own. A total of 10 pirates should be enough for me." He assures.
"Then tell me, little Pokémon: We're both pirates, you and I, but we don't sail under the same flags. Of course you realize that makes us-?"
"Enemies..." I whispered, Ambipom being enemies with Jynx? This is almost like a nightmare. "Ambi, we've gotta go!"
"Huh? Why?"
"You saw how powerful her club is, and of all the evilest, villainous pirates in these waters, Jynx is the dominant of them all! Making enemies with her is a death wish if not alr-al..." that's when it hit me-what he said earlier.
"It's not about IF I get the One Piece" he said bringing back my attention. "It's about wanting to get the One Piece. And boy, do I want it, big time. In fact, it was long ago I decided to be King of the Pirates and sailed out here. Should I die from those thousands of killers out there...I die. Nothin' I can do about it."
"Go on, Oshawott. Tell him." Jynx sneered.
Should I die from those thousands of killers out there...I die. Nothin' I can do about it."
Nothing I can do about it. Fine then. At least I can go out brave...and tell Jynx that...
"YOU'RE THE UGLIEST POKEMON IN THE SEEEEEEEA!" I yelled from the top of my lungs. I have to be brave in order to pursue my dream of being a marine. If I die by Jynx's hand, then so be it, at least I know I'll die being bravery, and I have Ambipom to thank.
"Heeeehehehehehe!" The purple monkey chuckled.
"Excuse me, RUNT?!" She yelled out pissed.,
"I've dealt your tyranny for the last time! I'm leaving the crew and join the Marines. Then, when I grow, I'll hunt down dirty, wretched pirates LIKE YOU!"
"Do you realize what you're saying, you wretched SEA DOG!." she growled, as her hat shadowed her eyes. She's pissed to the extreme, but I'm not gonna take it anymore.
"Of course I know what I'm saying, and it's a dream I WILL peruse and no ones going to stop me! I'M GOING TO JOIN THE MARINES, AND WHEN I DO YOU'RE THE FIRST POKEMON PIRATE TO CATCH!"
"I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP, YOU'RE DEAD, KID, DEAD!" Jynx yelled readying her club.
No regrets. No regrets, I said just what I wanted to say, I will become a Marine.
"Well said, Oshawott." the monkey Pokémon said, laughing the whole time.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAH!" Jynx just suddenly bashed Ambipom's head in wither her club! That club's a strong as iron, and I'm...I'm just not sure of rubber will be enough to stop it. Is-is he alright?
"No good." he taunted completely stunning the blonde-haired witch. Stunned, Ambipom was able to successfully knock her out of the way and stretched his tail fists far away. Whatever attack he has planned, It looks like it's going to be a big one.
" Time to end this with...Gum-Gum PISTOL!" He yelled throwing his stretched tail forward, as it was now hurdling towards Jynx.
At a blink of an eye, the punch completely met a direct hit with Jynx's fat gut. The punch was powerful enough to actually send the sea witch flying far away from the ship. It was over, Lady...no the ugly hag Jynx... she was gone, flying away to some other part of the sea.
"Hey you guys," Ambipom said turning to the rest of the fallen crew. "I think Oshawott, here has a dream to pursue. So it wouldn't be too much trouble if you give him a ship, will ya?"
"y-y-yes sir!" shouted the shivering crew as they went out and searched for a lifeboat. There's so much that has happened in the stretch of just a day...but the only thing I have to say to him...was this:
"Thanks, Ambi." I said.
"Aww, don't mention it." he replied back with his hands behind his back.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It was suddenly at that moment that the ship was being bombarded by cannonballs. Ambipom and I looked to the starboard bow to see who was firing at us. Three powerful blue ships with a familiar symbol on their flags. It was clear to me who they were: The Marines.
"Perfect timing! Now we can get you over there and ask to join. As for me, pirate, gotta go." he said jumping off the ship and to the b-HEY WHAT?!
"A-AMBIPOM wait! Don't leave me, if they spotted me, they'll catch me like I'm another pirate!" I said as I quickly got on the boat as the monkey Pokémon dropped it down to the water. Funny thing too, there seemed to be some other pirate docked next to the ship, I couldn't make out who she was but all I saw was her shining yellow fur. I was about to see just who it was but the cannon fires completely took us to a drift.
Third Person P.O.V
"Huh, can't believe it, we managed to escape." Oshawott sighed trying to spot a Marine ship, seems like there aren't anymore.
"Ha-ha! Talk about fun right?" Ambipom said laughing at the whole thing.
"Say, Ambi?" Oshawott started as the straw-hatted Pokémon turned to his attention.
"Since you're heading for the One Piece, that would also have to mean that you're going to the Grand Line, aren't you? I've heard that it's also called the Pirate Graveyard."
"Sure does. That would mean I would need a strong crew to help me." Ambipom said in confidence.
"By the way, that reminds me, that Jynx lady mentioned some Pirate Hunter. What's his name...Scepty...something? What's he like?"
"Y-you mean Sceptile? Last I've heard he's been captured in some Marine base." Oshawott explained.
"Oh, weakling, huh?"
"WRONG, WRONG, SO WRONG! He's as violent as a demon and three times as horrifying! HE'S A SCARY POKEMON, THAT'LL HUNT HIS PREY WHEN HE SEES THEM!" Oshawott screamed. Though...it seems puzzling as to why the Pokémon brought him up. "Why do you ask, anyway?"
"Well, I was hoping if I could ask him to join my crew, if he was so strong." Ambipom says as Oshawott completely dropped his jaw to the ground...is this Pokémon serious?
"Chasing him down's just plain reckless, you know that right?"
"You never know, he might jump for the chance to join."
"He's a bloodthirsty hunter! He's truly that bad, if the marines got his hands on him! There's no way he would willingly join, NO WAY, ZERO, ZILCH, NA-OW!" Oshawott ranted when suddenly Ambipom bonked him on the head again.
"Why'd you do THAT?!
"Cause I felt like it."
And just like that, our story has been made. The small Pokémon and his little Pokémon friend cast off to the seas to find this mysterious pirate hunter to join on his crew. And thus, our journey has begun!
To Be Continued.
I hope you guys like this little fanfic in the process and I hope you don't see it as cringe.. I'm still considering the Disney One Piece, but it's a little difficult to think up characters, since compared to Pokémon there are pretty little to work with for most antagonists and protagonists. Hopefully I'll have the will to carry this one on unlike what I'm neglecting to do with Disney's One Piece, so I'm just proofreading and editing my old story and make it more...Pokémon. I hope you guys like it the same as those who followed me are liking Kingdom Hearts: the Adventures of Light I. I'm also saying I'm not Discontinuing Disney One Piece, I'm not so sure just yet.
