Our heroes step foot into Cianwood City.
"A two day trip and we arrive to Cianwood City," Stephen states stretching with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Cuz we just left four day ago," Rob announces.
"He doesn't know how to count," Lucario says laughs.
"He doesn't know how to count," Stephen mocks.
"Let's get some breakfast," Melissa says laughing with Pichu on her shoulder.
Our heroes walk off to a restaurant. Our heroes enter the restaurant and sit down at a table. After a while our heroes order their breakfast.
"Hey cuz isn't that Chuck and his wife?" Rob asks.
Stephen, Lucario, and Melissa look over and see Chuck and his wife. Chuck and his wife see our heroes.
"Well if it isn't Stephen and Rob along with a new girl and Pokémon?" Chuck questions.
"It's so nice to see you again," Chuck's wife says.
"Yes it is," Stephen admits, "So Chuck you ready for a guy battle?"
"You already beat me," Chuck replies.
"It's her not him," Rob states.
Chuck looks to Melissa.
"Yep I'm your challenger and the name is Melissa," Melissa state.
"And this Pokémon's name is Lucario," Lucario says annoyed.
"Marvelous, I get breakfast and then a challenge," Chuck says.
Everyone gets their food, eats, pays, and then leaves for the Cianwood Gym. Chuck and Melissa are ready to battle as they enter the gym. Stephen, Lucario, Rob, Raichu, Pichu on Lucario's shoulder, and Chuck's wife go off to the sideline.
"It's going to be two-on-two," Chuck states.
"Got it," Melissa says.
"Poliwrath come on out!" Chuck shouts throwing his Poké Ball.
Poliwrath appears from its Poké Ball.
"Meganium come out too!" Melissa shouts throwing her Poké Ball.
Meganium appears out of the Poké Ball.
"DoubleSlap!" Chuck shouts.
"Razor Leaf!" Melissa shouts.
Poliwrath uses DoubleSlap on Meganium and then gets hit with Razor Leaf.
"Focus Energy!" Chuck shouts.
"Petal Dance!" Melissa shouts.
Meganium faints Poliwrath with Petal Dance.
"Meganium sure had the advantage there," Chuck states returning Poliwrath, "Machamp this is all you!"
Chuck throws his Poké Ball and out comes Machamp.
"Body Slam!" Melissa shouts.
"Submission!" Chuck shouts.
Machamp grabs Meganium and uses Submission.
"Now use Karate Chop!" Chuck shouts.
Machamp knocks Meganium down with Karate Chop. Meganium faints.
"Fast," Melissa says returning Meganium, "Gloom this all yours!"
Melissa throws her Poké Ball and out comes Gloom.
"Cross Chop!" Chuck shouts.
"Leaf Storm!" Melissa shouts.
Machamp gets stuck inside Leaf Storm.
"Now use Giga Drain!" Melissa shouts.
"Karate Chop!" Chuck shouts.
"Petal Dance!" Melissa shouts.
Gloom hits Machamp with Petal Dance and faints Machamp. Chuck returns Machamp and then Chuck and his wife walk over to Melissa.
"Young lady you did great," Chuck states, "Take this Storm Badge."
"And take this Sun Stone as well," Chuck's wife says.
Our heroes walk to Melissa.
"Use this and it will evolve Gloom into Bellossom or use a Leaf Stone and it will evolve into Vileplume," Rob states.
Melissa takes the Storm Badge and Sun Stone. Melissa opens her Pokédex and examines who she would rather choice and then Melissa gives Gloom the Storm Badge on accident.
"It's not working," Melissa states.
Stephen slaps his forehead.
"That's because you gave Gloom the Storm Badge," Stephen explains.
Melissa blushes from embarrassment.
"I knew that," Melissa says.
Melissa takes the Storm Badge and then gives Gloom the Sun Stone. Gloom evolves into Bellossom as Melissa put the Storm Badge in her case with her other badges.
"Well I wish you luck on your oncoming gym battles," Chuck says.
"We'll see you all again," Chuck's wife says.
"Bye," our heroes say.
Melissa returns Bellossom as Pichu jumps back onto her shoulder. Our heroes then leave as Chuck and his wife wave bye. Our heroes arrive to the ship dock as the stop starts to blow its horn.
"We're going to miss our ship!" Melissa shouts.
Our heroes run off towards the ship as the ship starts to sail off.
"Salamence help!" Rob shouts throwing his Poké Ball.
"Staraptor!" Stephen shouts throwing his Poké Ball.
Salamence picks Rob, Raichu, and Lucario up and flies off to the ship as Staraptor picks Stephen and Melissa up and follows behind Salamence. Our heroes make it to the ship so Stephen and Rob return Staraptor and Salamence.
"That was so close," Lucario says.
"Sure was," Stephen says petting Pikachu who is on his shoulder.
"Is this even our ship?" Rob asks.
Melissa looks around as her Pichu on her shoulder does the same.
"It looks smaller?" Melissa questions.
"There is our ship," Stephen says pointing.
"It still will take us to Olivine City so calm down," Lucario states.
"He is right," Rob says.
Our heroes watch as Cianwood City disappears into the ocean. Our heroes then walk around the ship as they see people and their Pokémon getting along with one another.
"Guess there will be no battles," Stephen says.
"We get to relax then," Lucario says, "Finally."
"Yeah," Melissa says, "My Meganium and Bellossom need to rest."
"This is going to be a long ship ride," Rob says, "At least on the other ship we had fun for the five day ride."
"You sure it wasn't just one day?" Stephen asks.
"No it was five," Lucario replies laughing.
Our heroes sigh as they continue to tour the ship they are on. By lunch time they eat and then look for a room to sleep in. Our heroes spend their time in there until dinner and after dinner they shower up and then head to bed. Two days pass and one night has passed. This night it is storming as our heroes are playing a game of card. The ship gets hit by a strong wave.
"This storm is getting worse by the minute," Melissa says with Pichu in her lap.
"Yeah it is," Rob says.
Our heroes show their hand our card.
"Why is it that I lose at this game?" Stephen asks with Pikachu in his lap who is laughing.
"You suck at it?" Lucario replies.
"So why is Melissa doing well and is a beginner?" Stephen asks.
"First timer luck or she understands the game," Rob replies.
Another wave hits the ship which sends our heroes into a wall. Their beds and dressers block the door out of the room. The ship starts flipping on its side. People and Pokémon exit their rooms as they scream and run. Our heroes are knocked out in their room. Within two hours the ship has been evacuated as everyone is floating away. The ship is now fully underwater as our heroes wake up inside it.
"What happened?" Stephen asks rubbing his head.
"A strong wave had to hit the ship," Lucario replies.
Melissa gets up and looks out the window and sees water Pokémon. Melissa screams in fear.
"What?" Rob asks.
Rob, Lucario, and Stephen get up fast as do Pichu, Raichu, and Pikachu.
"The wave sunk the ship and we are stuck inside!" Melissa replies.
Stephen and Rob run over to the window as the water bursts into the room.
"Grab how do we escape?" Lucario asks.
"My Gyarados and Feraligatr will help," Rob replies, "Lucario help us break freak from this room."
Lucario helps Rob break through the door and then our heroes exit the room as they see no one as water pours into the ship.
"We got to escape before the water flood this ship," Stephen states.
Pikachu jumps onto Stephen's shoulder as Pichu jumps onto Melissa's shoulder.
"Which way do we go?" Melissa asks.
"Follow me," Rob replies.
Rob leads the way as our heroes follow. Rob comes to a door that won't budge so Lucario breaks it down which cause water to pour into the area and knock our heroes down but they quickly get back up.
"We're swimming from here," Stephen states.
Our heroes dive into the now deep water and start swimming. Within minutes our heroes escaped the ship so Rob throws his two Poké Balls and calls out Gyarados and Feraligatr who help our heroes get above the water. Once above the water our heroes get on Gyarados.
"Thanks Feraligatr," Rob says returning Feraligatr, "Take a rest."
Our heroes look around and see nothing but open see.
"Find some land pal," Rob says to Gyarados.
Gyarados swims off and as Gyarados swims our heroes fall asleep. Hours later our heroes wake up on land circled by Gyarados who is sleeping. Rob smiles and returns Gyarados.
"Take a long rest," Rob says.
Pichu jumps back onto Melissa's shoulder as Pikachu does the same to Stephen's shoulder.
"Where are we?" Lucario asks.
Riding by on a BMX bike is Kenny Cravotta and Justyne Catalano. Kenny notices Stephen and Rob so he rides off onto the beach with Justyne following behind.
"Bro what are you doing here?" Kenny asks.
"Let's say we went swimming in the ocean after our ship sunk," Stephen replies.
"Oh my god are you all okay?" Justyne asks.
"Yeah we lived," Rob says laughing.
"So where are we?" Melissa asks.
"In the Whirl Islands," Kenny replies, "Blue Point Isle to be more exact."
"The Whirl Islands?" Lucario questions.
"Yeah well follow us," Justyne says, "We'll take you to town."
Kenny and Justyne get on their bike and start riding off as our heroes follow close behind. Soon our heroes arrive to the nearest town.
"So are you guys hungry?" Kenny asks.
Our heroes shake their head so Kenny and Justyne take them to a restaurant and at the restaurant the five order food after being sat down by a waiter.
"Why are you going to Olivine City when there is a new Frontier in Cianwood City," Justyne asks.
"I'm going ask Rick for the gym badge," Melissa replies.
"Well we are going for the Battle Tower there," Kenny says.
"Working together?" Rob asks.
"Depends if Kenny will stop being a jerk," Justyne replies.
Kenny laughs as the food arrives. Our heroes eat and after eating they pay their bill and then leave the restaurant.
"So when is the next boat to Olivine City?" Lucario asks.
"Soon so we got to hurry," Kenny replies, "Follow us."
Kenny and Justyne get on their bikes.
"Staraptor!" Stephen shouts.
"Salamence!" Rob shouts.
Stephen and Melissa get on Staraptor with Pichu and Pikachu on their shoulder as Rob, Raichu, and Lucario get on Salamence. Our heroes go to the ship dock and when they arrive they quickly get on the ship and head off for Olivine City.
"So you got him from Sinnoh?" Justyne asks.
"Him and many other Pokémon like Staraptor," Rob replies, "Salamence is from Hoenn."
"Well sadly Stephen and Rob didn't catch me any Pokémon," Melissa explains.
"That's for you to do," Lucario says, "That would eliminate all the fun."
"If I was champion of Johto I would give many Pokémon away but make sure I catch multiple," Kenny states.
"Well you aren't but you can be second best," Justyne says.
"I'm tied with Rick and Uncle Tim and actually third because Rob is a Pokémon Master and that make Stephen number two," Kenny explains.
"Anyway how is Tim doing?" Rob asks.
"The last I heard from them was that him and Rain are going for the Battle Tower," Kenny says, "So I'm guessing good."
"Cool so how long will this ship ride take?" Melissa asks.
"Two days," Stephen replies.
Lucario sits down on a bench.
"Time to relax," Lucario says.
Our heroes laugh as they enjoy the wind. Two days later our heroes arrive in Olivine City and upon arriving to Olivine City they go into the Pokémon Center.
