Chapter 7: On the Ship
Yellow P.O.V.
"Come on, get aboard." The boy ordered. Without another word we clambered up into the vessel. The crew then raised the anchor up and we set sail. "Captain Zor, we should be able to reach the Fortress between a 2-day time period starting now." Said one of the crew members to the boy. "Good." He turned to us. "I suppose some of you should go down to the second level. They're way too many of you up here, you'll get in our way." We looked at each other and shrugged. All the boys trudged downstairs while I remained with the girls. "We're staying up here." Blue and Sapphire said. "I guess, I'll join the boys then." I said smiling. Crystal glanced at me then Sapph and Blue. "I'll go with Yellow." She said quickly. She thought it would be dangerous for a girl to be alone in a horde of boys, even though she knew they weren't perverts (the only pervert out of the group had been abducted *cough* Gold *cough*) "Okay." Blue got out her camera and snapped pictures of the ocean while Sapphire watched the pirates worked. She was interested in their jobs and decided to see if she could learn anything useful from them. "Come on Yellow!" Crystal grinned as we climbed down the rope ladder into the dark abyss below.
"Woah." Everything was dimly lit by torches on the wall. I saw the boys up ahead in the hallway. There stood a tall pirate in front of a room eying us all. Silver went up to him. "What's in that room your guarding?" Silver asked peering into the room. "It's Sir Zor's room!" He snapped. And no one's allowed in there. He looked at us. "I suppose they're too many of you here to just stand here in the hallway." He sighed. "Fine. You can go into those rooms." He said pointing to the doors along the hallways. "Their cabins, but don't mess with anything! If we find anything missing or broken, you're gonna get it!" He threatened. Green and Silver just rolled their eyes. Silver and Ruby together went into one room while Green paused. He turned to Red. "Wanna go in?" Red shrugged. "I don't really care, but I'll go into this room." He said pointing to the one next to it. Green nodded and they both went into separate rooms. Crystal was about to go into one room when she saw I hadn't budged. "Yellow, what's wrong?" I pointed to a dark hole with stairs leading down lower into the ship opposite from Zor's room just behind the rope ladder. "What is that?" Crystal shrugged. "Wanna ask him?" She said jestering to the pirate. "Okay."
"Excuse me." He looked at us. "What?" "Um...what is that place?" Crys pointed. "That's the 3rd and final level of the ship. Our lowest crew mate is assigned there. You can go there if you want. Captain Zor wouldn't mind a thing." Our faces brightened. "Thanks!" With that we went down the steps into the 3rd floor.
...
"Hmmm...what's this?" Ruby inspected a poster on the wall. It was a diagram of a gem stone. "I wonder what this means." Meanwhile Silver was sitting on the bed thinking. "Ruby," "Yeah?" "Why do you think boy's with golden eyes are getting kidnapped?" Ruby stopped and looked at the boy. It seemed Silver was really troubled. "I don't know." He said finally. There was a pause. "I can imagine Gold getting his butt kicked right now." Silver grinned. Ruby laughed. "Yeah." Despite the fact Silver was worried, he was still trying to brighten up the mood. That's Silver for you Ruby thought smiling. "Hey, check this out." Silver said pulling out the draw in the cabinet. In it was a black box. "What is it?" "How'm I supposed to know?" "Maybe you should put it back." Said Ruby nervously thinking about what the pirate had said. Silver rolled his eyes. "Whatever. But I think it's some kind of case. You need some kinda tool to pry this open." He sighed in defeat and placed the mysterious object back in the draw and closed it shut.
...
"Hey buddy." Green was sitting on the bed and got bored. So, he had called out his Scizor to talk to as his trusty companion. The Pincer Pokémon looked around amazed. "Szzi?" Green smiled, which was quite rare considering the fact he always had an emotionless face on. "I know, we're not in the Pokémon world anymore. Right now we're on a ship." The Pokémon nodded, but it was still getting used to this new world. It felt waves of magic everywhere! It was kinda hard not to ignore. "So anyway...here's the thing..." He began.
...
Red P.O.V.
I gazed out side and smiled. The view was awesome through the window! You could see the ocean and the sky mixed in one. As I watched the waves I grew bored and relaxed. Eventually I lay down on the bed staring at the ceiling. The rocking back and forth of the ship was so alluring. Before he knew it he fell asleep.
He was the link. And he knew it. Yet, he had to try...he needed to protect them! But, the frenzy just continued. He watched helplessly as all life slipped away from the Earth...
The boy turned around fitfully in his sleep. He'd be like that for a long time.
End P.O.V.
Crystal P.O.V.
"Wow...this is so, amazing!" As me and Yellow had descended the steps we'd come to an alternative hallway that held many passage ways and rooms. "WHO GOES THERE?" Erupted a loud voice causing me and Yellow to jump. "W-we're passengers." I answered. There was a pause. "THEN WHY THE HECK ARE YOU DOWN HERE?" Me and Yellow winced. "Please, we have permission-" "FROM WHO?" Came the loud voice. By now I was getting impatient so I yelled into the shadows. "WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND REVEAL YOURSELF FIRST?" There was silence. Then, we heard the shuffling of feet. We turned and saw a small man about 2 inches shorter than Silver walk up to us. He took one look at us and his eyes widened. "Oh my! I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know I was yelling at to lovely girls." Yellow turned scarlet while I tried to push back the blush as the heat crept up my face. "A-anyway, are you the crew member that's assigned down here?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He faced brightened as he nodded up and down furiously. "Yes ma'm! Luke's the name, crew member is my game. Luke here at your service." He said saluting me as I sweatdropped. "So...what do you do around here?" Asked Yellow. "Well...right now I'm guarding the treasure...but it get's pretty boring though." All of a sudden his eyes sparkled. "If your not too busy gals, come see me and we can have some pirate fun!" Yellow looked at me smiling weakly was I looked back smiling nervously. "Actually... Luke sir, we're free right now." He grinned clasping his hands together. "Is that righty now? Well come with me then!" I said and turned and scurried into a random room. We looked at each other before following him.
"Here we are!" We gaped astonished at the room before us. It was like a training room, there were lanterns hanging on the walls and another room across, though I could see no way to get across. There were also ladders and boxes stacked up here and there. This entire room is a mystery I thought in awe. He turned to us. "There's a game we can play to past the time. Wanna try?" I blinked unsurely. "What kind of game?" "Well, it involves this room. Don't worry, I'll show you what to do." We that he went to one corner of the room and hit a switch. It activated the door opening to the room on the other side. "Watch and learn." We one steady run he took a leap of faith and grabbed the lantern rope swinging on it. "Grab the lantern and swing from one to another until you reach the end and swing unto the platform. If you can't to that then you can land on these boxes and go from lantern to box if you like. But you need to do it under a time limit cause' the switch opens the door for a short period of time." He finished landing safely on the platform. "Don't worry, you won't hurt yourself if you fall. I'll wait over here for you." He replied. I blinked. "Ahhh, I'm not gonna do this." I said shaking my hands. "I will." I looked at Yellow surprised. She seemed to be smiling with confidence. "I think I can do it." I stared but then smiled. "Well what are you waiting for? Go on!" She took a deep breath, then went for it.
I watched amazed as she zipped across the room and jump grabbing unto the lantern. She swung on it making a swinging motion and jumped and managed to grab the second one. She weaved her way through without no problem until she reached the second to the last one. It seemed she didn't think she could catch it so instead she landed on the boxes. With that she climbed up the lantern again and swung unto the platform and went through the door into the room. "YAY! YOU GO YELLOW!" I cheered.
End P.O.V.
Yellow P.O.V.
Luke looked at me shocked. "You...you...did it?" He blinked a few times before his lips curled into a smile. "Great job there mate. For that here." He handed me a bag. I took it grateful since the only thing I had with me to carry my things at the moment were my pockets. "YELLOW!" I heard Crystal holler from across the room. "Yes?" "That pirate said that this Zor fella said we've reached our destination!" "Okay!" I called back strapping on the bag. I somehow knew this would come in handy.
End P.O.V.
...
"What was that?" Asked Silver looking up. Ruby got up and pressed his head against the door before sighing. "It was that pirate, he said the "captain" informed him we're here." Silver snorted. "Captain huh? As if."
...
Green sighed and returned Scizor. "Looks like we're here." He mumbled as he exited the door. He was about to go to the ladder when something told him something was wrong. He paused and walked towards Red's room.
...
In a room a boy shifted uncomfortably in the bed cringing.
Red P.O.V.
Trapped...no escape...he couldn't run! His legs chained together, his tail flicked back and forth trying desperately to get free...tied down...bars...he couldn't get up...it was impossible!
"Red! Red wake up! RED!" My eyes snapped open as I saw Green hovering over me. He sighed in relief. "G-green?" "The one and only." He replied. I sat up and looked around rubbing my temple. "Are you okay?" "I...I think so." I shook my head. "You looked like you were in pain..." Green's voice trailed off. I looked at him and smiled weakly. "I'm fine Green, I promise."
End P.O.V.

Yellow P.O.V.
"Finally your all here." The boy said as we all emerged from the second floor. He eyed us for a moment. "You see that over there?" He said pointing over the sea...layed a gigantic fortress. We gasped. "There it is." He stopped short. "But...the place is heavily guarded. We'll be spotted before we get anywhere near that place." Zor said deep in thought. I watched as suddenly Blue's face lit up. "I know!" We looked at her. "Clefy can teleport us there!" She declared. We all stared at her until Ruby slapped his forehead. "Of course! That's a brilliant idea!" "Yeah but, right now the Fortress is too far away. He won't be able to teleport us all there at this distance." "Maybe...we can use our Pokémon to get close enough..then Clefy can teleport us in." Crystal suggested. "Yeah, but are you sure it can teleport us ALL in?" Asked Green raising his eyebrow. "Of course he can." Blue huffed. All the while I noticed the pirates were staring at us. Of course...they don't know what Pokémon are I thought briefly. "Wait." We looked and was shocked to see Mist there. My eyes widened. "MIST! I thought I put you in the bottle when we got on!" I hissed. "You did." "Then how did you get out?" The pixie shrugged. "I don't know." This caused us all to sweatdrop. "Anyway..." She turned and focused on the pirates. "We should leaves one of you here." We gasped. "What do you mean?" "They're our only transportation right now, and we can't afford to loose them." She turned to Zor. "Isn't that right, Zor?" He frowned. "But...why do one of us have to stay?" "To make sure they don't desert us." The pirates fell over anime-stlye. "Really pixie..." A crew member said through clenched teeth. She looked at them calmly. "What I say goes." She stated rather than suggested. She turned to us. "So which one of you are staying? Not Yellow of course." I looked at them uneasily. "I guess..." Crystal spoke hesitantly. "I suppose Sapphire should stay." She said. We blinked surprised, then nodded in understanding. "WHAT?" Cried Sapphire. "I'M NOT STAYING!" "Sapph please, the pirates can't psh you around. And your the best person for them job." "But..." She pouted sticking out her lower lip. "I want some peace of the action too!" "Sapphire," said Ruby calmly. "You'll be doing us a favor. Besides, wouldn't you like messing with them?" The girl blinked, but then grinned evilly. "When you put it that way...it does sound fun." She said slyly. "Then it's settled. Come on everyone." The pixie said. We nodded and released our Pokémon. Blasty, Kitty, Golduck, Gyara, Kingdra, Xatee, and Mimi came out. The pirates stared while Zor sputtered. "What are those things?" Red turned to him. "Pokémon." He said simply before jumping on Gyara. Blue followed and jumped on Blasty, Kitty grabbed me and lifted me in the air, Xatee did the same with Crystal, Ruby jumped on Mimi, Silver plunged into the water and held unto Kingdra, and Green landed neatly on Golduck ready to go. With that we all swam/flew to the fortress. Sapphire could only wave from the ship.
...
"Do you think we're in close enough proximity yet?" "Almost." We had swam/flew a couple of yards now and we could now clearly see it. There were monsters every where thee stalking the place. There were searchlights flashing here and there, and there were cannons. I surveyed the scene until I saw something that sent chills down my spine. Near the top a one tower stood the horrid fox laying down on top peering into it as if it were hollow. I felt anger surge through me. Just wait you wait Sapphire, Gold, I'm coming!
