(Charmander sees that Sarah is working on the intro to the next chapter, and comes over to look)

Hi charmander! Glad that you're still here, I thought that you had left.

Hi charmander! Glad that you're still here, I thought that you had left.

(Charmander gets bored, and walks away. Turning on the TV, charmander sits down, ignoring Sarah and the readers)

Hey, we haven't done this in a while, show more interest.

(Charmander continues to ignore Sarah, changing the channels, looking for Pokémon. When he sees that Cartoon Network is gone, and that he can't watch Pokémon, uses flamethrower on the TV)

Not my new TV!! Anyway, onto the next chapter!

Chris stood there looking smug, "I had a ticket to get on. Imagine my surprise when I saw the two of you seek on board. I waited for my chance to confront you, and here it is!" With that said, he sent out his Raticate.

Seeing that she wasn't being given a choice in the matter, Sarah sent out Frodo, who looked happy to be used in a Pokémon battle for once.

Before Sarah could issue a command, Chris called out, "use quick attack!"

Raticate slammed into Frodo.

Before Sarah could call out an attack, Frodo hardened his body, and the attack of Raticate just bounced off. Sarah pulled out her pokedex, and saw that Frodo had just used Defense Curl. Looking up the other moves that Frodo knew, Sarah picked one that sounded cool, and that she also wanted to see. "Ok Frodo, use Magnitude!"

At first, it looked like Frodo was going to protest, but then slammed his fist onto the floor. This shook the whole ship, leaving a huge floor in the ship. Luckily they weren't on the main floor of the ship.

After the ship stopped rocking and everyone picked themselves off the floor, Chris glared at Sarah, "why did you do that!!"

Looking embarrassed, Sarah chuckled nervously, "opps, I didn't know it would do that…"

With that being said, Chris looked at her shock, "you used a move without even knowing what it does! Ok Raticate, let's finish this battle, use Ice Beam!"

Raticate started gathering energy for the attack, when the door behind Chris opens with a bang, a sailor walks over, "what's going on here, and what happened to the ship!" With that, he glared at the three of them, waiting for an explanation.

Chris walked next to him, "I found these people on the ship without tickets, and when I asked them to leave, they attacked me, that one even used earthquake, she said that she was going to sink the ship that refused her entrance."

Glaring at the two of them, the sailor grabbed and dragged them into the room that he had just left, leaving behind both Frodo, Chris, and his Raticate, "teach her to mess with me," laughed Chris to himself, who returned Raticate to his pokeball and walked off.

Frodo just sat there wondering what to do, before deciding to follow his trainer into the other room.

Back with Sarah, the sailor went to an older sailor, who was sitting at a desk, reading a book. He then proceeded to tall the captain what he was just told.

When the captain turned around in his chair, Sarah expected a scolding for what happened, instead, the captain looked calmly at them, and asked for Sarah's side of what happened. Sarah quickly explained what happened, and also apologized for using the new attack, without testing it out first, and finished by promising to always testing new attacks on land first.

The Captain sat patiently till the end of the story, "it looks like you are sincere, however, you damaged my ship, so I expect you to pay for the damage and tickets, wait, how did you find out about the ship."

Sarah then explained about meeting Bill.

The captain got up, and looked them over, before finding what he was looking for; he grabbed two pieces of paper out from the folding of Sarah's clothes, showing them to Sarah, she saw that they were two tickets. "I see that you have the tickets, now you just have to pay for the damages." Out of no were, the captain grabbed his stomach, and went back to his seat, looking nauseas. Seeing the others concern, he explains that he has been sea sick, and the recent rock in the boat hasn't helped him feel better.

Nicolai stepped forward, and released Courage from his pokeball. With a gesture, Courage went and rested his head on the captains' lap, "ok Courage, use refresh!"

Courage started glowing and soon did the captain. After the glow faded, Courage backed away. The captain stood up, "why, I feel much better!! Thanks! Now, don't worry about the damage, the ship is under insurance, I'll explain that it was an accident. Are you guys going to travel with us around the world?"

Sarah said no, seeing that Frodo was sitting in the door of the room, Sarah returned him to his pokeball, while Nicolai returned Courage to his.

Seeing that they wanted to leave the ship, the captain ordered the other sailor to escort them to the exit, so they wouldn't get lost.

The walk to the entrance didn't take too long, and Sarah took the time to look over some of the ship as they walked by, was that a pool!?

Standing on solid ground, Sarah began to wonder what they should do next, find the gym or go to the Pokémon center. Before she even made up her mind, Love showed up, and handed Nicolai a note.

Nicolai read the note, and turned to Sarah, "before you work up in the morning, I had love go deliver a note to Lt. Surge, asking if you would train you and your Pokémon. While he hasn't agreed to train you himself, he says that there are people that can train you in his gym."

With that said, he put the note in his backpack, Sarah saw that Love was still standing next to them, "hey, aren't you going to return Love to her pokeball."

Nicolai chuckled, as he gave Love a hug, "Love is my favorite Pokémon, and travels with me. I trust her to some errands as well. Now, let's go to that gym!" With that said, they headed down the road.


I hope that was ok. It's been a while since I wrote anything for this. I realized that I made an error when Love wasn't with us as we traveled, so I thought, what could she be doing, and that was my solution.

(Charmander is still sad about the TV)

We lost cartoon Network, due to the digital thing. Poor Charmander (and me.)
