A magnificent sunset cast its orange and red light over the sparkling waters of the vast sea, illuminating the floating gigantic structure in its waters. The white cargo ship chugged steadily along, headed to a far-off port. As the sun dipped beneath the deep waters of the ocean, its rays caught the name of the ship for a brief instant: S.S. Libra.
Within the wheelhouse of the ship, the captain and navigator stood side by side, the navigator with his hands firmly on the wheel. The two enjoyed a comfortable silence. The seas were calm, the skies were clear, and the cargo wasn't giving anyone too many problems.
All of a sudden, the buzzing of helicopters cut through the silence, flanking the Libra. The sailors' confused gazes followed one helicopter as it darted above the deck. Why were these helicopters all the way out in the middle of nowhere?
The captain and navigator rushed out of the wheelhouse in case one of the helicopters felt the need to communicate. The captain wondered about the helicopters' appearance – the course of the Libra had been carefully charted in order to keep the precious contents onboard safe, and authorities had been warned ahead of time of the Libra's departure. Surely they hadn't accidentally cut into restricted waters?
The notion that the incident had anything to do with the authorities was instantly dispelled as a gigantic shadow was cast over the deck. The two seamen looked up in astonishment as an enormous purple creature hovered above the deck, roaring. The closest Pokémon it could be described as would be Lugia, except that Lugia weren't purplish-black.
Unnoticed by the sailors, one of the helicopter's pilots grinned as the Pokéball-shaped device covering her left eye shone red. The creature's eyes glowed with the same eerie color as it received orders before roaring again. The creature shot a bright beam of energy at the deck, connecting it to the ship. The cargo freighter glowed with an unearthly radiance as it was lifted out of the water. It rocked side-to-side uncertainly, causing the sailors still gaping at the creature to lose their footing and be tipped overboard into the waters below. The creature screeched once more as it flapped its wings, heading toward the distant shore and taking the cargo ship with it.
The captain and navigator shared a fearful look as the light from the stolen cargo ship grew fainter. They were immensely worried for the sailors still onboard, for the precious cargo, and for themselves, for they were miles from shore with no help coming anytime soon.
After the radiance from the ship had completely faded away, the captain said, "There's no way that the Libra's disappearance is going to go unnoticed. We've got to go tell the authorities what we saw."
"Yeah, if we don't end up drowning first," the navigator said faintly, still reeling.
"True… but I'm more worried about those still on board…"
