Chapter 27: Live on the Ship
As the other Water gym leaders decide to come out from their room, they are chatting with Ash and others about the region.
"So you said that your Ducwave likes to surf, huh?" Misty says, "Where can I get one? It really seems so cool."
Lillie says, "You can find it in this ocean, but they are pretty rare to find as they don't come out in the open very often."
Crasher Wake says, "Those Pokemon sure look so great if you ask me."
Max says, "Indeed. They are also cool as well, just can't believe they are actually new Pokemon."
Ash says, "Since we are here, why don't we go fishing?"
"That sounds like fun, it is a great plan to fish out some new Pokemon." Merlon says.
Some of the people decide to go fish some Pokemon, while others are trying to relax. Reshow goes to talk to his Dad about ships while Ash and Lillie are chatting with Aurora.
Bonnie's rod has been moving, she says, "I think I caught something!"
She tries to reel in, but the Pokemon is struggling with the rod as Bonnie can't just pull it out of the water. Cilan says, "Just relax, the fish will get the bait if you didn't panic."
Bonnie nods and she finally catches a fish, but what she catches is a shark like thing. Lana asks, "What is that? It seems familiar."
Reisa sees it and says, "What did you know? It is an Axew!"
This causes everyone to be shocked. "Axew?" They exclaim as Ash shows the data of the new kind of Axew.
Axew Sevestar Form. The Tusk Pokemon. Water and Dragon type. Axew eats berries that it crushes with its tusks. The tusks can sometimes break off, but they grow back.
Fraxure Sevestar Form, the Axe Jaw Pokemon. Water and Dragon type. It hides underwater, A broken tusk will not grow back, so it diligently sharpens its tusks on ocean rocks after the end of a battle.
Haxorus Sevestar Form, the Axe Jaw Pokémon. Water and Dragon Type. Haxorus is normally considered friendly. Its body is covered with a tough armor, and its tusks cannot be broken like sharks.
"Wow, I have never seen an Axew that looks like that." Misty says.
"Yeah, it looks kind of cool." Max says.
Bonnie asks, "Hey, Axew. This is Dedenne, do you want to be in my team?"
Axew tilts his head, and then it nods, so Bonnie captures the Pokemon.
"Alright, I caught an Axew!" Bonnie cheers.
"That's great, Bonnie." Ash says.
Serena says, "I think I also caught something." As she reels the rod, they see a Pokemon which has a tap as the head.
"A Tapish, that sure is something." Mark says.
Tapish: The Tap Fish Pokemon: Water and Noraml Type. The head shapes like a faucet, it can also purify the water to give others clean water to wash.
"That sure is a weird Pokemon that I found." Serena says as she captures the Pokemon.
Gladion also fishes out a Pokemon which has a propeller tail, and he asks, "How about I capture this one?"
"This is the Barraskewda." Nessa says, "It is a Pokemon from Galar, its propeller tail makes it speedy."
"Mom, I already told them about this Pokemon when we are doing the knight challenge." Reisa says as the see how Gladion captures it.
Then Max fishes out a crab like Pokemon, Max asks, "What is this?"
"A Tinkrab, it is also one of the starters we give out." Ash says.
"Wow..." Max scans them with his Pokedex.
Tinkrab, the Crab Pokemon. Water Type. Its body is small, it can go inside the small holes on the beach.
Medicrab, the crab Pokemon. Water Type. Evolved from Tinkrab at LV 18. It is slightly larger than Tinkrab, it uses its claws to grab food.
Larkrab, the Crab Pokemon. Water Type. Evolved from Medicrab at LV 36. Larkrab is as large as a car, it can destroy everything with the giant claws on its hands.
"That is amazing." Dawn says, "It seems like you get another partner."
Max says, "Yeah..."
Reisa says, "Hey, Ash. Why don't we practice the new song here?"
Ash asks, "Now? Okay, let's go do it."
As the two leave the group alone, Misty asks, "Wallace, what is that about?"
Wallace says, "Ash, Lillie and Reisa have made a band called the Colors, and they are also popular in this region."
Just then, they see Reisa placing a keyboard on the deck, and Ash is holding the microphone. They also have some dolphin like Pokemon besides him. Professor Oak uses the chance to scan the Pokemon.
Dolpusic, the Dolphin Pokemon. Water and Psychic Type. Its voice is like music to humans' ears, it can flaps its fins to make music.
Dolpony, the Dolphin Pokemon. Water and Psychic Type. Evolved from Dolpusic and LV34. Its voice is like violin and horns, it is a common Pokemon to use in concerts.
Dolpanata, the Dolphin Pokemon. Water and Psychic Type. Evolved from Dolpony at LV45. Its voice is like a keyboard. It is a popular show Pokemon.
"What do you think these Pokemon are for, Samuel?" Merlon asks.
"I would like to know that, too." Oak replies.
"Lillie, do you know about this one?" Mark asks, and Lillie shakes her head, "I don't know, maybe the two of them did something behind my back..."
Ash says, "Now everyone." This catches a lot of passengers' attention. "The song I am singing is a cover song, it is also a song to express my love towards my wife, Princess Lillie. Please listen to the music: You Raise Me Up."
"When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be."
Ash turns around and faces Lillie. "Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me"
He smiles and sings, "You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be"
As the interlude is going on, the group are now enjoying Ash's voice and Misty says, "I can't believe Ash can sing a song like that..."
"I know...but I never knew that they have covered this song..." Lillie mutters.
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be"
The others notice that the Dolpanata are actually the backup vocals for the song Ash is singing, they can't believe the Dolpanata can mimick the voices of humans as well.
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be"
After the song ends, a lot of people are touched by the serene melody as tears are coming out from their eyes. As the melody fades away, Ash sings the last part to Lillie, "You raise me up to more than I can be"
"That song is amazing..." Seibold says.
"Indeed. I feel my heart warming." Serena says.
Mark says, "Brother should also make this a music video as well, since it is also touching."
Ash says, "Lillie, I deliver this song for you, when I lost the Alola League, I have thoughts of giving up being a trainer. It is thanks to you, you come into my life and you tell me never give up until it is over. You are very important to me, and I want to say, thank you for staying by my side."
Lillie is so touched at Ash's words, as she rushes up to the stage and gives Ash a kiss on the lips, this causes everyone to be surprised as Lillie is becoming this bold and they can't believe it.
"Wow...Ash and Lillie are...kissing..." Lana blurts out.
"Yeah..." The others can only nod as they are too shocked to say anything.
After Ash and Lillie break the kiss, Reisa says, "I guess we can keep going now? Ashy?"
"Yeah, sorry for that." Ash laughs. "I guess we are so into ourselves..."
"It is fine." Aurora says, "But since we are here, we might as well talk about this ship."
Wallace says, "Of course, as you can see, this ship is given to my son by Ash."
"Wait, you purchased this ship for Reshow? Why is that?" Professor Oak asks.
"As you can see, both the Oceablu City and Elmososha Town are far from the region due to the fact that they are built on ocean, Oceablu being close to Alola as it is a port for trading, and Elmososha Town is a place full of fuels for the island. Both places are hard for traveling, which is why we decide to have a ship towards the place." Ash says.
Lillie adds, "And we just think how about we purchase a luxury cruise and give it to one of our gym leaders? That is when we manage to purchase the S.S Rainbow."
"I see." Misty says, "Come to think of it, it sure sounds cool."
"I know." Ash says.
In the Team Terror's Base, the same person who seems to be the leader is talking to a grunt, "So I guess Captain Hook and his team of pirates have set off?"
"Yes, sir. They are heading towards the S.S Rainbow. There are a lot of people on the ship, with the Water leaders of the whole world also on it."
"Good, I want them to destroy the ship, but leave Ash and Aurora captured. I won't tolerate mistakes, am I clear?" The man yells.
"Yes, sir." The grunt says as he rushes off the place. The man looks at the news and says, "Ash and Aurora...you may not remember me, but in order to change the world to better. I will need you to create what hasn't finished in the first place...you are not going to refuse this time!"
A small shadow is showing the face of the man, he looks a little similar to Ash, but his eyes are glowing red, as he is showing anger.
Here is a new chapter, and this time, I decide to add a song chapter so that Ash can sing a song for Lillie. Not to mention, I decide to add some more Team Terror scene. As the leader of the group will be revealing in several chapters, but don't worry, his identity, his goal and his relation with Ash and Aurora are going to be more obvious and eventually they will be facing each other in the end. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be how the pirates are going to terrorize Ash and the ship.
