"How are you going to Victory Island Melissa?" Lauren asked as both Grasselle and Melissa return their Pokémon and prepared to venture onto the ferry.
"Well, I heard that Victory Island is home to the world's greatest spar so I thought I'd treat myself and my Pokémon after the battling we've done recently."
"Come on then guys, we don't want the ship to leave without us, do we?" Grasselle rhetorically asked. The three girls now made their way onto the S.S Victory.
Upon entering the boat, they saw that it held at least three-hundred people and that it was held at its maximum capacity. "What to do? What to do?" Melissa hummed to herself as she observed the activities available; from tennis courts to foosball.
"Well, I know what I'm doing." Grasselle announced. "I'm going to look at the view, care to join me Lauren?" Grasselle left the lobby of the boat and Lauren followed behind.
"Oh, and you Melissa, you can come too." Melissa said to herself, uninvitingly following them to enjoy the view of the glorious sea.
After leaving the lobby, Lauren and Melissa saw a familiar face, leaning over the railing staring into the ocean. "Hey Jordan." Lauren shouted, nearly making him fall overboard. Jordan spun around and brushed off the faux pas like an afterthought.
"Hey, fancy seeing you here." He said to Lauren, then Melissa peered her head over Lauren's shoulder, Jordan uncontrollably blushed. Luckily, no-one noticed.
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Grasselle." They exchanged a courteous shake of the hand before Jordan directed everyone's attention to the sea.
"I noticed that the wave patterns are irregular in the sea." Jordan hypothesised. Everyone's face went into confusion.
"Come on Einstein, could we have that in simpler terms please." Melissa asked. Lauren couldn't believe that Melissa didn't put the sarcastic emphasis that she normally would on 'Einstein' and she even put please on the end.
"Well, if you insist, normally the waves would be colliding with the front of the ship but today the waves are going with the boat, as if some force is pushing it with our direction." Jordan explained, now the girls took more notice and began to study the waves.
"If you look aver the other side of the boat, the waves have a regular pattern but for some reason; it's just this side." Jordan continued. Melissa went to study the waves on the opposite side of the boat and she confirmed Jordan's observation.
"So it's almost as if something invisible is travelling alongside the boat and heading to Victory Island."
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Jordan explained. "But what could possibly be doing this?" he asked.
While all the conversations were going on, Lauren was just staring into the sea when she was surprised to see a very transparent outline of a 'V' floating atop the water but then; it just disappeared.
"It's Victini." Lauren concluded, she had remembered the picture of it on her Victory Ticket, the 'V' shape on top of its head was identical to the one on the water.
Who's That Pokémon? TWOBAO…
"Thinking about it, it does make sense. I remember reading about Victini is the Nacrene Library, it can turn invisible." Jordan explained, everyone gasped in harmony.
"But Victini hasn't been seen since like, forever so why would it turn up now?" Melissa asked. And with that, a disaster happened.
The boat jolted vigorously, the foursome knew where to look, they ran to the side and saw that their assumptions were correct, and there was a gaping hole in the side of the ship where the waves were abnormal. But now they were completely normal.
"Victini must be trying to stop us from getting to Victory Island for some reason." Jordan screamed above all the ruckus aboard.
"Don't worry about that right now; let's find a way to stop the boat from sinking!" Melissa snapped. Grasselle thought of an idea and ran over to the microphone.
"Please could all passengers release any psychic types in their possession for them to use their psychic attacks and keep the ship afloat?" Grasselle asked.
Immediately, dozens of Pokémon were released; from Elgyem to Musharna.
Elgyem is the Cerebral Pokémon, its ability is Telepathy. It uses its strong psychic power to squeeze its opponent's brain, causing unendurable headaches.
Musharna is the Drowsing Pokémon, its ability is Synchronise. It's the evolved form of Munna, with the mist from its forehead, it can create shapes of things from dreams it's eaten.
Lauren released Gothita, Melissa released Munna and Jordan summoned Frillish to all take advantage of their psychic ability.
The boat was now outlined pink and began to straighten up, but water continuously flooded in. There was no chance of getting the boat onto Victory Island.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, lifeboats are now being dispatched for those of you who do not any water type Pokémon."
"It's lucky we have water types then isn't it?" Melissa said. Lauren and Melissa returned their psychic types and summoned Oshawott and Alomomola who sat atop the water and Jordan told Frillish to dive into the water.
"What about Grasselle?" Lauren asked as the three prepared to jump overboard onto their waiting water types.
"Don't worry, I have Palpitoed." Jordan told them as he released his other water-type. Grasselle let off a sigh of relief.
The foursome now jumped onto their new ferries that were speeding across the sea now. Behind them they saw loads of lifeboats coming from the ship. "I hope Iris is okay, she must have been on that boat." Lauren explained.
"She'll be alright, let's just focus on getting to Victory Island as soon as possible." Grasselle suggested as everyone pushed the Pokémon to go faster.
"All visitors please make way to the Pokémon Centre Immediately so Nurse Joy can check over your Pokémon." A male voice yelled in a robotic fashion. As they approached the island, they saw that the man was dressed in a bellboy suit.
"He must be from the hotel." Jordan explained, directing everyone's attention to the large, red building that held a blue 'hotel' sign.
The Pokémon is… WOOBAT.
