Chapter 13: One Pokémon, two Pokémon, red Pokémon, blue Pokémon
I was pretty much off Dewford first thing in the morning. "So how was Steven?" asked Mr Briney. I told him Steven was nice and was very devoted to his job. "Well he is the son of Joseph Stone after all. Anyway, I have an offer to make you. How would you like to see the Abandoned Ship? You're not in any hurry and it's worth looking at." That sounded interesting.
We pulled up to a rotting old ship stranded on a sand bar. "The S.S. Cactus. Once upon a time she was the finest ship in Hoenn, our S.S. Anne if you will. Now look at her." I hopped off. "I'll give you 2 hours to tour the ship. Then we will head on to Route 109."
I walked inside. The place was run down, but not sad or scary per say. It was nice seeing the Top Deck and the Captain's Office. Part of the ship was underwater so I couldn't visit it all.
I felt like I wasn't alone. I went into the Mess Hall. Clearly it hadn't been cleaned out. I opened one of the cupboards and two yellow Pokémon jumped out. One had red ears and a plus like tail.
Plusle
080
Electric Type
Cheering Pokémon
1'04" (0.4 m)
9.3 lbs (4.2 kg)
Plusle always acts as a cheerleader for its partners. Whenever a teammate puts out a good effort in battle, this Pokemon shorts out its body to create the crackling noise of sparks to show its joy.
The other had blue ears and had a minus like tail.
Minun
081
Electric Type
Cheering Pokémon
1'04" (0.4 m)
9.3 lbs (4.2 kg)
Minun loves to cheer on its partner in battle. It gives off sparks from its body while it is doing so. If its partner is in trouble, this Pokémon gives off increasing amounts of sparks.
I asked them what they were doing on this ship. They suddenly felt down. They had been here for years. I hugged them and decided to play with them.
First, we played hide and seek. I had Marshtomp count to 20 and then find them. Plusle was in one of the cabins and Minun was hiding in a lifeboat.
Next, we played Psyduck, Psyduck, Zangoose. This involved me and the rest of the Pokémon sitting in a circle. I then had to pick which one would chase me.
We also played tag, catch and the stone throwing game I came up with back on Dewford. Not at the sunset per say, but at a rock.
I heard Mr Briney calling for me. I told Plusle and Minun I had to go. As I was going, the two looked depressed again. I smiled and asked if they wanted to come with me.
I got down to the boat and told Mr Briney that we had visitors. "Could it be?" Mr Briney asked. "These Plusle and Minun. They were left here years ago by a selfish Trainer who didn't know better. They have been waiting here all this time for him to come back." Plusle and Minun hopped into the boat. "I know where he lives. On Route 109 as it so happens. Let's go."
Eventually we made it. Route 109, basically just a beach. At this point, the red sun was hallway underwater. "I'll come with you to the Beach Hut tomorrow to see him. He's probably forgotten about you two at this point, but I sure haven't."
