Chapter 1
START!
Aurora was excited. She was really looking forward to win the Summer Festival Battle Tournament at the Lilycove port. Every summer, a festival takes place in the Lilycove City in which some legends were honored. It attracted thousands of tourists from all over the world .
For local trainers like her, the main attraction was the Pokemon Tournament and the big shiny trophy. Last year, she was in the second place. This year, she and Zip, her Zigzagoon and Gulp, her Gulpin had faith that they could take the trophy home and maybe her parents would finally realize that she could take care of herself and let her go on a Pokemon journey.
'Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to the 50th Lilycove Summer Festival Tournament! Today, our first battle is between Trainer Aurora from Lilycove and Trainer John from Fortree City!' the referee shouted. The cheering from the crowd boom around the stadium.
Although she was already fifteen, her parents still thought of her as a little girl and had refused to let she and her brother to became Pokemon trainers like most kids their age. She walked onto the stage and sighed. They claimed that it was too dangerous and would have absolutely no contribution to her future. She had given up arguing with them years ago.
She watched the sky with her violet eyes and though back to six years in the pass. When she was ten, she had begged her parents to let her became a trainer. They ignored her pleas, and didn't took her too seriously until she tried running away. But it took only a few days for her father's Arcanine to catch up to her and bring her home. After that she was grounded for a year, but at least they had let her keep the Zigzagoon and Gulpin she had somehow managed to capture on her five day adventure.
She reached down to her pocket to pull out Zip's Pokeball, but noticed that there was something wrong with it. Seriously wrong.
It's empty.
She took out the other one.
It was empty too.
Her brother had asked her if he could take a look at Zip and Glup this morning.
He must have stolen her Pokemon from right under her nose!
"Are you going to let out your Pokemon or are you going to stand there?"John taunted. He and his Wingull were both waiting impatiently for her to let out her Pokemon.
"I..gave up. My Pokemons are feeling sick," she said as calmly as she could manage, trying not to show her anger publicly.
I am going to kill him! That idiot, I hope he will get a curse form Mew or something she cursed silently. She could feel the entire crowd grow silent and her cheeks grew red hot from the embarrassment. Everyone was wondering why she had given up on the first fight of the day. She put the empty balls back into her pocket and walked down the arena as quick as possible with the silent crowd staring behind at her.
"Trainer Aurora has given up, Trainer John is the winner!" she heard the referee announce before she walked out of the arena and into the festival grounds.
She couldn't believe what her brother had just done to her. That little devil must have stolen her Pokemons and run away from home to become a trainer. All without telling her! He should have at least told her that he was running away so she could join him, but no, he had to do it alone, that idiot. If he was going to have fun running away, she was going to tag along: like mom always said, they should share the fun!
Now where would he be? She knew if Kyle was running away, he wouldn't be going on foot because Father's Arcanine would definitely track him down. He couldn't possibly get enough money to get on a cruise or airplane. So that left one thing: the family's yacht.
As she walked down to the dock where the yacht was docked, she immediately noticed someone was on their family yacht.
Kyle!
She ran up quickly to the edge as the boat slowly started moving. She knew there were only seconds before it got out of reach and she had to make up her mind now. Jump or stay?
She decided to jump; it wouldn't be fair if her brother got to have all the fun. She don't want to stay behind to face their parents. (Although it would probably take only a few days for their parents to find them, she definitely is not going to miss out all the fun!)
She walked back a few meters and started to run like mad towards the moving yacht. She could felt the wind rush pass her face with a salty scent. Her feet felt like they weren't moving quickly enough. The boat seemed too far away. Everything seemed so wrong...
She leaped.
And ended up lying face down on the ship's rear. Thank Mew that she didn't miss. She could feel a bump forming on her forehead. One more thing to put on the Kyle's-to-blame list.
She walked towards the control room and found Kyle at the steering wheel. He was holding an instruction booklet in one hand and frantically looking for the correct switches with the other hand.
"Need help, Kyle?" Aurora asked loudly.
Kyle sprung around and his blue eyes widened with shock.
"How...did...you...I...sis...'"he mumbled, clearly not expecting anyone to be on the boat with him.
"You have some nerve, Kyle. Stealing my Pokemons! And you know what the worst thing is? You planned this trip without telling me! I could've happily helped you, you know." Aurora crossed her arms, annoyed.
Kyle simply stared at her, still in shock.
"For one thing, I wouldn't use the family's yacht for running away; it's too easy to be track down. You know, built in GPS and stuff. By the way, I think the yacht is going out of control." Kyle snapped out of his stunned state and turned back to the steering wheel.
Aurora, having been taught some sailing skills by their father, helped Kyle with the navigation and controls. Within a few minutes, they were out of the harbor and into the open sea.
After a few hours of sailing, they have set the boat on auto navigation mode and sat in silence.
"So where are we heading to now,?"asked Aurora, breaking the silence.
Kyle shifted uncomfortably in his seat, feeling uneasy about his sister's tone, and answered, 'I was planning to head to Vermilion City for the Kento league. I heard that's where a lot of famous trainers started out and it's supposed to be one of the easier leagues."
"So you're planning to take on the all the leagues and be a Pokemon Master, right?"she said skeptically.
"Yeah" Kyle answers timidly, "I suppose."
"Well," Aurora sighed, letting out a breath, 'Not me. I don't want to be a Pokemon master. I want to be a explorer; to feel the wonders of the world, to see all the Pokemon. But I will join the league with you anyway, so that Zip and Gulp can have some exercise and I can have some fun beating you up. Who knows, maybe I might become the Pokemon master!'
'Aw carp. I knew you would join the league too,' Kyle complained. 'More competition. Great.' he scowled at her.
BANG!
Aurora and Kyle where both thrown off the their chairs by the sudden force. The boat was hit by something hard and came to a halt.
"What happened?" Kyle asked as he got to his feet and made his way to the steering wheel.
"I'll go out and check, stay here and check the controls," Aurora instructed as she ran out of the room warily, unsure of what she would find..
The sky was glowing dark. She walked towards the railing and looked down; she felt heart stopped. The boat had a huge circular hole in its side, water was rushing in like a torrent. Some part of the boat is already under water. There was no escaping it, the boat was sinking.
'Kyle! The boat is sinking!'She ran back to the control room and yelled with the top of her lungs
'WHAT!' Kyle said, horrified.'It..it can't sink. I mean where are we supposed to go? We are in the middle of nowhere. This is the end.' Kyle concluded as he said on a chair, lost.
"That's not true!" She gave her brother a hard pat on the back. "Be hopeful! There's still some time before the yacht will fully sink. I'll go look for life jackets and you can grab some food and stuff. "
Kyle nodded numbly. They find some life jackets in the room and putted them on. Then they start to scavenge for bottled water and food and shuffled them all of into Kyle's bag .
"Do you we would survive this, Sis?" Kyle ask worriedly. He put a bottle of water into the bag, " I never though our journey would end so quickly. We have only leave Lilycove for a few hours."
"I'm sure we will. We HAVE to survive this...I hope." Aurora reassured uncertainly. She grabbed a pack of cookies from the drawer and throw it to Kyle. He put it into the food filled bag. "I think this should be enough." he noted.
"Let's go got and take a look." They walk toward the rail where the hole is located. The bottom half of the boat is almost fully submerged into the water. "Mom and Dad is NOT going to be happy when the see this." Aurora said, looking at the water fulled hole "I'm sure they..w..."
"Gyrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" A loud roar filled the air. The siblings snapped their attention to the rear of the yacht
Suddenly, a Gyarados burst out of the water and growled angrily at them.
