Okay, I feel like an idiot. I finished this chapter a couple of months ago, when I was desperate for an escape from schoolwork, and forgot to upload it. Please forgive me!
Sorry if I made you guys resent me for leaving you all with such a startling cliffhanger! Well, onto the latest chapter.
I don't own Pokemon or the Warrior Cats.
As Ash and his friends reached their cabins, they were already ankle-deep in icy water. Pikachu has reclaimed his perch on Ash's shoulder. Water was rising fast, and the destruction on the ship was evident everywhere, even where there wasn't water flooding the passageways.
The teens opened their cabins and grabbed all their Pokeballs. Pokemon were recalled quickly. Trainers were still frantically trying to escape the sinking ship. Although, for the most part everything had quietened down significantly. There were those who doubted aloud whether there would be enough lifeboats for everyone.
"Everyone, give me your Pokeballs!" Gary exclaimed suddenly. "Or at least, all those with Pokemon in them!"
"Why should we?" Misty asked mistrustfully, glaring at the brunette boy.
"I'm gonna send them to gramps!" Gary answered, sliding to a stop by something that looked like an automatic drink dispenser in the wall.
He hit several buttons in sequence, and then shoved his backpack and Pokeballs into the dispensing area. They glowed for a moment, then vanished completely. Within moments, the rest of the group was piling their salvaged possessions into the machine.
Several Pokemon refused to let their trainers recall them into their Pokeballs. Dawn's Piplup, Misty's Psyduck and May's Glaceon were three that refused. Tossing the Pokemon's empty Pokeballs into the machine, the majority of their things were soon gone from the cruise liner, and supposedly had reappeared in Samuel Oak's laboratory.
"Duk." Psyduck commented urgently, tapping Misty's thigh with one clawed paw.
"What?" Misty asked, looking around. She didn't need an answer. Her seafoam eyes went round with terror. She let out a deafening shriek before bolting towards the nearest set of stairs. "RUN!"
A massive wave of water was crashing down the ship's passageway towards the group of teens and preteens. Dressed in formal-wear, they found it quite difficult to run as fast as they could. However, their best attempts to escape were washed away.
As the wave crashed over the young trainers, several shrieks were heard, both from the trainers hit and from trainers further down the hall. Almost immediately they were submerged in the icy seawater. Ash had Pikachu clutched to his chest. Piplup and Psyduck were working on pulling as many trainers as they could to safety.
After about ten minutes, they had managed to get themselves safely onto the next floor of the ship. However, water was almost to their ankles. They were sure that it wouldn't be much longer until it was to their knees. They didn't have any time to waste.
They paused for a moment to make sure that everyone was accounted for, before taking off towards the next stairwell. After twenty long minutes, they had managed to reach the top of the ship. Hundreds of lifeboats were surrounding the Suicune Voyager, which was now only about a foot from sinking beneath the surface of the ocean.
"Dee-Dee!" Came a familiar male voice from a nearby lifeboat.
"Kenny!" Dawn cried, her blue eyes wide. Kenny's Empoleon was soon pulling the lifeboat back towards the sinking cruise liner so that they could board the lifeboat.
It was crowded, but at least they were safe.
"Dawn, I was so worried about you!" Kenny said, taking off his somewhat dry sweater and giving it to Dawn, along with helping her put on a life jacket.
"Guys, I have a feeling this is far from over." Brock's voice said from the other end of the boat. Instantly, all eyes were on him. He pointed above their heads to the mass of threatening storm clouds above his head. A bolt of lightning split the sky above with a great CRACK and the Suicune Voyager finally submerged completely, plunging into the deepest depths of the ocean.
Don't hate me because I love leaving you with cliffhangers!
Please review!
