Welcome one and all to a fantastical journey that shall BLOW. YOUR. MIND! Name's Sky and I am the captain of the S. !

Buizel: And I'm Wave! I'm sure all you past readers know me but for the new guys, you'll know me soon enough!

Hi readers both new and old! Love you all! See, I had a fan help me with some art awhile back. And during my previous main series story, they needed me to return the favor. So they requested a crossover of Almia and the Little Mermaid. I said I'd think about it. Within three days by pure chance, two readers randomly pm'd me and asked for this very same story. Sign of fate, right? So I decided, why not? We need more pokemon mermaid stories!

Wave: You were tempted to draw Keith as the merman. I saw those sketches on your bed.

*blushes* ACK! Um…er…l-let's ignore that and move on, shall we? I hope you read, review and enjoy this crossover!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or the Little Mermaid.

Credit for the cover goes to PokeRangergirlY of deviantart. HOORAY FOR YOU! This crossover shall be dedicated in your honor!

EDIT (12/18/12): Wow! YOU SO ROCK! I used an old picture that Pokeranger made. And as an awesome person, she decided to remake the picture! So I uploaded it as a replacement cover since I am oh so proud! THANKS ONCE MORE! YOU ARE EPIC!

"Ah, what a day! Gotta love the salty sea air!"

On the shores of Nabiki beach, the Vientown area rangers were enjoying their day off with a picnic. Keith at on the edge of the cliffs as he looked out at the ocean before him. Wind blew through his red hair spikes, relaxing the teenage boy.

"We should go out sailing!" Crawford, the afro haired ranger, suggested.

"Ugh. No thanks." Luan, the dark haired ranger, gagged. "I get sea-sick way too easily."

"I know." Crawford smiled 'innocently'. "That's why I suggested it."

"Your funeral if I barf on you." Luana warned as Elaine, the mechanic, laughed.

Barlow, the ranger leader of the Vientown base, tossed a soda to Keith. "Good weather with calm seas? Huh. Poseidon must be in a good mood."

"Posedion?" Keith blinked.

"You hadn't heard the legends? He's supposed to be King of the Seas." Barlow told him.

"I thought manaphy was king of the seas." Luana blinked.

"No you're thinking prince of the sea." Elaine corrected.

"Yes well, Poseidon is rumored to control the oceans and rule over water pokemon & merpeople." Barlow went on.

"Merpeople? I wonder what they look like!" Luana went starry eyed. "So pretty and mystical…"

"Women with their top off…" Crawford smirked.

"You perv!" Luana smacked him.

"Ow! It's true isn't it?" Crawford moaned.

"I dunno. Doesn't seem likely that merpeople exist." Elaine munched on a sandwich. "If they're out there, how come we haven't seen any?"

"They're supposed to live in the dark depths were no human would tread." Barlow said. "Where one world ends and another begins…"

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

The ranger leader had been right about it all. Under the waves of the ocean, past incredible lengths, the human world known to all had ended. Life began again past that point. For within the chasms and hidden underwater grottos lived merpeople. Half human and half fish combinations dwelled, living with pokemon in peace and harmony.

One particular merperson, a mermaid to be exact, was swimming around and looking for adventure. A girl looking to be about sixteen, with her brown hair in two ponytails and blue eyes filled with curiosity. Eyes that caught sight of an old fashioned sailing ship that had long-ago crashed deep into the ocean. The mermaid with light blue fins and shell-top started swimming towards it, fascinated.

"So we're doing this." A buizel swam with her. "We're actually going in there."

"Yep." Kate scratched his ears. "I love the excitement and mysteries, Wave! What sort of people are humans? What's their life like up there? I'll never know unless I dig up the answers!"

"Gotta admit. It's pretty exciting, discovering stuff in a sunken ship. Maybe we'll find pirate treasure in there!" Wave grew excited.

"Let's check it out!" Kate said.

Together, the duo dove down to the ship. It was dark down there, what with the ship sunken pretty deep. Masts were splintered and worn form heavy damage. Had to have been a big storm many years ago for this to happen. Kate found an opening through a giant hole. She and Wave swam through it and into the even darker ship.

"Wow…" Kate gasped.

It was in ruins yet to Kate, it was full of mysteries. Barrels were crashed aside, junk thrown about. Papers were there but illegible and torn up if touched slightly. Kate swam through different rooms to see what they offered. She tried to avoid the skeletons of pokemon and humans, feeling bad for the poor souls who died.

"Hey Kate! I found something!" Wave whispered.

Kate went over. Indeed there was something there. A strange item lying in the middle of the floor. On closer observation, there were two of them. Small black circles that stretched and retracted on will.

"What is that?" Wave asked.

"Dunno. But I think Feather might." Kate put the strange circles around her wrists like bracelets. "See anything else around here that looks interesting."

Wave scanned the area. "Hmmm. Not much. Sails, crates, broken glass, sharpedo, a chair…wait…OH (bleep) IT'S A SHARPEDO!"

The sharpedo crashed through the window and snapped at the buizel. Kate grabbed him and swam through the ship, trying to avoid the sharp jaws of the fiend. They used their combined speed to try and flee the scene. Dang it this thing wouldn't quit!

"They're all teeth, no brain." Wave mumbled.

There was a large anchor up ahead; a small hole at the top of it. Kate smirked, getting an idea. She gave herself an extra boost of speed. The two aquatic friends ducked through the hole with ease. And the sharp-toothed shark pokemon came following after.

BAM!

Got itself stuck in the hole. Way too easy. Sharpedo snapped its jaws but it was helpless. It'd take hours for it to squirm free again and by then, Kate would be long gone.

"Nyah, nyah." Wave stuck his tongue out. "Whatcha gonna do now?"

Sharpedo hissed and tried harder to wriggle out. Kate and Wave laughed, swimming away from the shipwreck.

"Hey after we go talk to Feather, we can check out the Frozen Abyss." Wave suggested. "I heard rumors through the kingdom that its cold, deep and filled with unexplored ships."

"And you're telling me about this now instead of sooner?" Kate chuckled.

"Sorry about that!" Wave sheepishly apologized.

"We are definitely going there." Kate said. "Think about the possibilities! The excitement and danger! And the collection of treasure!"

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Wave: So am I Flounder?

Kinda. I ix-nayed Sebastian the crab so I can add my own twists to the story. You kind of fill in the role as Kate's friend & part-time guide.

Wave: Ah. Gotcha. I see no pachirisu either.

Pachirisu's can't swim, last I recall.

Wave: *Shrugs* Eh. Good point.

HEY READERS! Next chapter is coming up fast! Like a torrent of water!

Wave: Lame.

*points harpoon at buizel* Shut it.
