Chapter 12: Tropical Sea Bash?

The purple yacht skimmed across the waves with ease as the sun reflected off the waves. The trainers been traveling for a couple hours now and were enjoying there boat ride from there new friend June. The trainers decided to take a dip in the deck pool and slipped into there swim trunks. Just as they were about to hop in the pool a small white boat pulled up to the yacht with a tall girl standing on the deck.

"Would any of you be up for a battle?" The girl said as she brushed her long hair aside showing her blue eyes.

Daylena grabbed a pokeball from her pack and approached the ship when Jo stepped in front of her.

"I didn't have a good battle in a while how about me?" Jo said calmly looking at the trainer.

"Okay hop in! Oh yea and im Ann" the girl said cheerfully.

The trainers folded a ladder out to the small boat and climbed on the deck of the ship. Ann seemed even taller close up as she wore a red shirt with blue shorts and a pair of interesting black tennis shoes.

"How old are you?" Dave asked the tall girl.

"Im sixteen, my dad let me borrow his boat," she said smiling and nodding.

Ann grabbed a pokeball from a small bag and tossed it in the center of the deck.

"Okay I hope you're ready for this," she said now serious.

The pokeball let on a small golden looking pokemon. The pokemon sat on the ground with its arms crossed and let out a sleepy "abra."

"Wingull ready..start off with a water gun!"

"Abra teleport!"

Wingull flew from Jo's side and let a stream of water fly from it's beak at the small psychic pokemon. Abra teleported as the water crashed into the deck of the ship and repapered behind wingull.

"Abra hidden power!"

As wingull looked around confused balls of black energy hit it sending on the floor of the deck. Wingull then shook it off and looked at the abra.

"Wingull try a wing attack this time!"

"Abra teleport"

Wingull flapped its wings and spread them out as it flew at the abra. Just as wingull was about to hit abra it teleported once again sending wingull into a pole of the ship and on to the floor.

"Wingull supersonic quick!"

Wingull flew back into the air and let out a loud supersonic at abra confusing the small pokemon.

"Now water gun and wing attack!"

Wingull let out a burst of water at the confused pokemon sending him back into the deck wall. It then flew and smacked abra with its wing slamming it harder into the wall, causing the pokemon to faint.

"Return abra.." She said in a plain voice.

"Let's see if you can handle this then!" she said throwing another pokeball.

This pokeball let out a round bug like pokemon. The pokemon was mostly red with black dots scattered on its back, it had six round hands on each of its six feet.

"Ledyba tackle!"

"Wingull wing attack"

Lebyba's wings began to flap rapidly as it flew at wingull. Wingull hit the flying pokemon back with its wing making it fly back a few feet.

"Ledyba supersonic then comet punch"

"Wingull watergun"

Wingull shot a watergun attack at the bug pokemon but ledbya nimbly dodged the attack. It then let out a supersonic at wingull sending wingull in a state of confusion. Ledbya then flew up to wingull and let out a flurry of punches all over wingull sending wingull crashing hard on the deck below.

"He looks out to me!" Ann said smiling when wingull began to glow white.

"Wingull?" Jo said as she stepped closer to her growing pokemon.

As the white light faded in place of wingull was a large white bird with a massive yellow beak and large white and blue wings.

"Pelipper is a flying transporter that carries small pokemon and eggs inside its massive bill. This pokemon builds its nest on steep cliffs facing the sea." Jo's pokenavi chirped off as she pointed it at her new evolved pokemon.

"Um, Ledbya supersonic!"

Ledyba fluttered down to pelipper and let out a supersonic at the large pelican looking bird. Five yellow stars then came out of Pelipper's beak swirling in front of him deflecting the supersonic.

"Hmm protect attack..finish this with wing attack!"

"Ledyba barrier attack!"

The large bird lifted off the ground and flew at ledyba when ledyba swirled his arms around creating a barrier in front of him. Pelipper brought back its large wings and shattered the barrier sending ledyba sliding down a wall.

"Darn I lost...but that was a good battle!.....but it sucked though..but it was fun!....well not really," Ann said returning her pokemon.

Pelipper flew to Jo and wrapped its large wings around her.

"Wow your big now!" she said laughing.

A beeping started to come from a small room on the deck.

"There near!" Ann said running into the room.

The trainers followed her into the room that was filled with all kinds of ship gear. Ann was busy looking at a small radar like screen.

"Looks like at least a dozen.."

"A dozen of what" Dave asked.

"A dozen of tropius, its there migrating season and Im hoping to track there migration patterns.

Ann grabbed a pair of binoculars and headed out of the room with them. She placed the binoculars over her eyes and looked into the sky.

"There coming!"

Jo squinted her eyes and saw a couple of the large flying pokemon. These pokemon had very long necks the matched there huge bodies, they had four wings that looked identical leaves protruding from there backs. She then pointed her pokenavi at the pokemon.

"The bunches of fruit around tropius's neck are very popular with children. This pokemon loves fruit, and eats it continuously. Apparently, its love for fruit resulted in its own outgrowth of fruit."

"I gotta have one!" Jo said as the tropius approached even closer.

"Pelipper use watergun!"

Pelipper flew up high in front of the approaching tropius and let out a giant gush of water at the bunch of tropius hitting a few. A few of the tropius were angered and let out a barrage of razor leaves at pelipper.

"Pelipper use protect!"

The razor leafs bounced off pelipper's protect and flew to the ocean below. The tropius then looked at Ann's ship and let out a barrage of razor leafs at it. Most of the large razor leafs missed but a few chopped into the wood of the boat.

"You're angering the tropius! It seems like they don't like being stopped during there migration," Yelled Ann.

As a few tropius continued to attack pelipper a couple flew down to the boat sending razor leafs at it as they flew down.

"Go Skitty!" Dave said as he threw his pokeball.

"Minun spark!"

Minun hopped on one of the tropius and let a off a spark shocking the tropius making it back off the ship.

"Skitty quick attack!"

Skitty charged at one of the tropius that landed on the ship colliding with the large pokemon. The tropius didn't seemed to be to affected and began to flap its large leaf like wings causing a large gust causing skitty to flip back

"Skitty attract!"

Skitty shook his head and began to sway its tail back and forth causing the tropius to be attracted to her.

"Tail whip then quick attack."

Skitty flicked its tail at tropius knocking it off balance at let off a quick attack causing the tropius to fall on its side.

As pelipper was battling in the sky, a yellow tropius flew up to it. This tropius was different then the other brown tropius as it let of a few sparkles.

"Aim a watergun at that yellow tropius pelipper!"

Pelipper shot a stream of swirling water at the tropius from its large mouth when tropius began to create a gust sending the water gun in different directions.

"Pelipper wing attack."

Pelipper flew at the shiny tropius as it tossed of razor leafs. Pelipper glided up and down pass the razor leafs and let its wing slam into the large dinosaur like pokemon making it flinch back.

"Another wing attack!"

Pelipper brought back both of its wings and slammed the tropius in between them sending the tropius into the seawater below. Jo then pulled a heavy ball from her pack and threw it at the tropius that was floating in sea below. Pelipper then flew down, swallowed the pokeball into its mouth, and dropped the pokeball and a nice amount of seawater onto Jo. Jo smiled drenching wet as she just caught a new pokemon. Seeing that one of the tropius were caught the others flew into the air and continued there migration.

Later that day as the sun was setting and Ann was writing in her notebook.

"I found a lot about tropius today! Like never bother one during migration.," she said smiling.

"So never do it on my ship again!" she then said yelling.

Dave picked up plusle and sat next to Ann. Jo then raised an eyebrow at him.

"So why are you so interested in tropius migration anyway?"

"Well my father said I have to do something productive if I want to use the boat and I heard that tropius migrate across the ocean about this time so why not."

June came to the deck of her boat rubbing her eyes after having a good long nap.

"Hey guys! We should get going."

The trainers gathered there belongings and thanked Ann for the stay on her boat and boarded back onto the yacht.

To celebrate Jo's new catch they decided to have a deck party. The trainers released all there pokemon, Jo's tropius let off a few sparkles when it came out and Daylena's poochyena began to growl at minun.

"I don't get you poochyena! Why can't you listen?"

June laughed.

"Poochyena are very wild pokemon, I hear they only obey trainers that posses superior skill."

"Well poochyena you should have seen me cream Jo in a battle" she said as she returned poochyena.

Meditite went in a corner and began to meditate in silence while plusle and minun climbed on pelipper's back. Pelipper then lifted into the air and flew plusle and minun around. Skitty hopped in Dave's lap purring and curling up to lie on his lap. Tropius looked to Jo and picked her up by hit shirt and lightly put her on his back and lifted into the air, flapping its large wings. Jo laughed in excitement as tropius flew around the ship; Dave was looking up at her laughing to.

"You like her don't you?" Daylena said looking to her twin.

"Huh what? No!"

"Yea...sure."

The trainers continued to have a good time late into the night. Jo was happy she had two new pokemon by her side and was even closer to becoming a flying champion. The yacht crashed against the waves as it neared slateport city where the trainers couldn't even guess what adventures they might have there.
