The cerulean skies stretch along the horizon, and in the center of the enormous blue is the glowing, bright orb of the sun, warming everything under its long rays. A luxury cruise liner makes its way across the ocean, cutting through the calm waves with little effort.
Three humans can be seen looking over the ships railing. One is a ten- year old boy, with messy black hair packed under a red and white Pokémon cap he won. A stoic look is sketched upon his face as the wind ruffles his gloved hands, black shirt, (partially cloaked by his blue and white vest) and jeans. A yellow mouse Pokémon is situated on top of his head with black- tipped ears and a thunderbolt tail: Ash and Pikachu, the best friends a person could have.
Next to him was a red-haired female. Her sky-blue oculars were bright as she looked at the endless horizon. Her yellow shirt was being encased by red suspenders, and her short-shorts revealed her slender legs. She was only known as Misty, a sister to the Cerulean City Gym Leaders.
To Ash's left was Brock, who was a Gym Leader-one of rock Pokémon and he used to be the leader of Pewter City. He decided to join Ash on his adventure after he was beaten by the young one. He was wearing an orange shirt, green vest and brown pants, that went with his dark skin and even darker hair. His eyes always seemed as if they were closed.
"I can't wait to get to Cinnabar!" Misty was exclaiming. "I heard it was beautiful!"
Brock paused, and smiled. "It's got an awesome volcano! And best of all, its Pokémon Research Laboratory is one of the best in the world!" The Pewter City Gym Leader wanted nothing more than to know more about Pokémon and become a breeder. He continued, "Trainers come from all over the world to learn more Pokémon techniques!"
Ash just leaned more over the rail and his voice was ripe with confidence:
"I'm heading straight to the Cinnabar Gym! And my next Pokémon badge!"
"Pika!" Pikachu replied, saying the only words it was capable of saying.
There was a long silence and then a familiar voice wafted into the three friends' ears. It always had a sneering tone to it, and Ash knew automatically who it belonged to:
"Don't worry girls, you'll all be able to get a picture with me!"
Ash looked over there, aghast. The male across from him was adorned in a pink T-shirt, embroidered with blue palm trees. Big black sunglasses covered his eyes, and a straw hat covered the red-brown hair. The teenager removed his glasses, revealing the contemptuous eyes.
"Hey look. Who let 'The Loser' on this boat?"
Ash growled at his personal nickname and then he looked surprised, given to him none other than.
"Gary? You're going to Cinnabar Island?"
