Hello, I'm back from my trip and it was fun! So here's the next chapter, this one combines three episodes with one of them the main title; "A Battle Aboard The St. Anne", "Pokemon Shipwreak", and "Island Of Giant Pokemon"! Enjoy!
Chapter 19: Pokemon Shipwreck
The next day after a good nights' sleep, Angelina decided to go to the St. Anne, but she didn't know where it was located until she saw a crowd of people around a dock; they were boarding a gigantic, white-colored cruise liner. She pushed her way through the crowd that consisted of Pokemon trainer, wondering where the boat was sailing.
Once aboard the ship, Angelina made her way through the recreational-convention room. Trainers from all over the place were either buying, selling, trading or battling Pokemon. Angelina spots Ash and friends make their way through the crowd. She narrowed her eyes and followed them.
There are tons of trainers showing off their Pokemon and by the looks of it, Angelina sensed that Ash was gonna show off his Charmander and Squirtle. Luckily, Ash is distracted by a battle taking place between a tall gentleman and a young trainer. The gentleman sends out a Raticate and the defender sends out a Starmie. The Raticate quickly wins with a Super Fang attack that cracks the Starmie's gem. The boy is worried, but the gentleman says that he was lucky. After the boy was given some advice for his Pokemon, the gentleman asks for another challenger.
"How about battling my Butterfree?" Ash asked, stepping forward.
"As you wish." said the gentleman.
The match began as Raticate ran toward Butterfree with a Quick Attack, but Butterfree dodged and used Whirlwind. Then the flying bug Pokemon released it's Stun Spore to paralyze the Raticate.
Suddenly, the gentleman picks up Raticate. "Well that's enough, why don't we call this match a draw?" then he walks away.
"Aw, and I was almost winning!" Ash said, disappointedly.
Later on, Angelina walks around the ship and sees a familiar young man in a waiter's suit with short blue hair and green eyes. Then she realized it was James! She followed him as he was then stopped by a man with slicked-back black hair wearing a white shirt, black pants, sandals, and a white headband tied around his forehead. He was standing behind a tank of reddish-orange fish.
"Boy, boy! Hey you, boy! Come here!"
"Are you addressing me?" James asked.
"I want you to have a look at this Pokemon," said the vender, pointing at the fish-like Pokemon in the tank. "The king of all carp, a Magikarp!"
"What do I do? Eat it?" James asked.
The vender laughs, "See how healthy it is?"
James takes hold of the Pokemon as it flops around. "Oh, it certainly is lively!"
"Just between you and me, this Pokemon is like a Pokemon gold mine!" the vender whispered.
"Gold mine?"
"Right, a Magikarp lays 1000 eggs at a time, each of those 1000 baby Magikarp lay one thousand more." the vender explained. "One thousand times one thousand makes one million, every one of those one million lays another one thousand, a billion Pokemon!"
"A billion?!"
"You can sell one Magikarp for $100. In three generations, you have tons of money! Billions and billions!"
"Billions?!" James said, slightly daydreaming.
"You'll be so rich, you can go on a Pokemon shopping-spree!"
"Rich, rich!" James cried happily.
"I normally charge $100, but for you I'll throw in an egg-laying set, health-care set, and an education set for only $300." the vender suggested. "How bout it?"
"I'll take it!" James agrees excitedly.
"I can tell you're going to be a very rich man! A very rich man!" the vender grins, very pleased.
Angelina couldn't believe all those lies, but she just watched James pay the vender and received a Pokeball that must have been painted in gold. She tried to approach the booth when she bumped into James and fell to the floor hard.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Angelina said, then noticed the young Rocket staring at her. "Going to leave me down here all day?"
"Oh, uhm, sorry." James blushed, he helped Angelina back onto her feet.
"Thanks," Angelina smiled, then she shot a nasty look at the vender. "Hey James, you-" she turned back to see the blue-haired Rocket had disappeared.
As the ship continues onward at sea, Angelina finds Ash and his friends standing in a room with the gentleman now accompanied by a woman. Ash and the gentleman took out a Pokeball each and placed them on a machine; Angelina guessed that Ash was trading his Butterfree for a Raticate.
'How could he!?' Angelina thought. 'Ash has been through too much with Butterfree. I've been with Ash too long to know that he's had that Pokemon since it was a Caterpie. Why would he just give up and trade for a new Pokemon?'
Angelina didn't bother to question Ash, it was his decision if he wanted to trade. Though she got a weird feeling that it wouldn't be long that Ash made a wrong decision to split with his very first Pokemon. Suddenly, the ship stops and all the exits are sealed as an army of Team Rocket members armed with vacuum-powered back-packs burst out of their hiding places. The lights go out and turn back on as Jessie and James appear on a table.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
Everyone in the room was confused, they didn't understand the motto except for Angelina, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu.
"Team Rocket will now take possession of your Pokemon!" Jessie demanded.
Trainers all around the room refuse, but the Rockets take action and suck up many Pokeballs with the vacuums.
"Suck them up! Suck them up!" Jessie cackled. "Suck'em all up!"
"Come on, everybody!" Ash yelled. "Team Rocket is taking your Pokemon. Let's fight back!"
Pokemon of the same species (Pikachus, Charmanders, Squirtles, Geodudes, and Bulbasaurs) get into pyramids and perform coordinated attacks on Team Rocket.
Ash looks up to see a bunch of Butterfree releasing Stun Spore on a few Rockets. "Yeah, help'em out Butterfree!" what came out of the Pokeball wasn't Butterfree, but a Raticate. "Oh…."
All the Rockets are gone and everyone in the room celebrates that they're Pokemon have been returned safely. Ash wasn't too happy, he (with Misty and Brock) sets off to find the gentleman and get back Butterfree. Angelina was still in the convention room cheering with the other trainers, her Wartortle had been helping and was happy also.
As thunder and loud wind was heard from outside the ship, there was a roaring "CRAAK"! Wartortle grew scared and clung to Angelina's leg.
"The ship's sinking!" cried a lady.
As Angelina was on her way to the lifeboats, Wartortle got pushed away from Angelina in the crowd.
"Hydro! Where are you? Hydro!" Angelina cried; she ran back to the stern of the ship, and it teetered so much she fell off. "Help! Somebody! Helgggghhhh!" the rushing of water into her mouth drowned her last words out.
Wartortle, who had been looking for Angelina, heard her cries with his big ears and dove off the ship. He swam over and supported Angelina.
"What are we going to do?" Angelina cried, she saw a large wave hit the ship as it flips over and sinks into the ocean. "The lifeboats are at the other side of the ship, and we can't survive out here!"
"Wartortle, Wartortle…. Wartortle, Wartortle. Wartortle... Tortle?" (Maybe we should stay here until the boats come around)
"Hmm," Angelina thought for a moment. "All right. But if they don't come by nightfall…. oh, I don't know. We'll have to do something."
So Angelina and Wartortle waited and waited. The lifeboats didn't come around. Lucky for Angelina, she's a good swimmer and she can keep treading water.
"Hydro, go swim out for a few hours." Angelina ordered. "If you find the lifeboats, look for Ash and his friends. If you find one of them, tell them I'm out here and I need help. If not, come back here and tell me. All right?"
"Wartortle!" the water-turtle nodded.
"Goodbye!" Angelina nodded.
Wartortle swam away. Angelina watched, as the turtle-shape grew dimmer against the horizon. About two hours later, Wartortle came back. He had found the lifeboats, but not Ash and his friends.
Realization of what had happened rushed at Angelina like a charging herd of Tauros, and it hurt just as much. "Oh no! They're stuck aboard the sunken St. Anne!"
(S)12345(S)
Angelina opened the door to the St. Anne, and then shuts it as soon as she got in. She didn't want to die in a sunken ship. And she didn't want her friends to have the same fate. She stood there for a few minutes, catching her breath. She didn't have the idea that it was hard for a thirteen-year-old to swim down to the bottom of the ocean to a sunken ship. Then she ran with Wartortle trailing behind, searching every room for them. She eventually found Ash and his friends. Brock and Misty were awake while Ash was laying upside down and caught on a coffee table.
"Hey Ash, answer me!" Brock said.
"Wake up, Ash! Wake up!" Misty said.
"Huh, whu?" Ash slowly opens his eyes.
"Hey, are you feeling okay, Ash?" Brock asked.
"Oh brother! What're you talking about? Am I feeling okay, you guys are the ones that're upside down."
"You're definitely the one upside down." Misty replied, as Angelina stifled a giggle.
"Whaaa!" Ash started to loose balance and fell on the ground. "How'd I get upside down?" He stands up and then sees Angelina. "What are you doing here?!"
"Now's not really the time to explain that," Angelina said. "You obviously don't understand the situation here."
"What situation?" Ash asked. "We're on the St. Anne." he then looked around. "Hey, where did all the people go?"
"Ash, sometimes it's so sad how stupid you can be." Angelina sighed. "You wanna know where all the people went? On the lifeboats!"
"Why?" Brock asked.
"The ship sunk! You-WE-are underwater!" Angelina had to wait a moment to see her friends react.
Ash, of course, panicked. "Aaahhhh! We're gonna die!"
"Will you shut up!" Angelina snapped. "I'm trying to think here! Now…. what should we do to get out of here…. yaahhhhh!" She guess there was a weak spot in the floor because she crashed right through.
"That would work," Ash remarked.
"Hey! A little help here?! I didn't do that on purpose!" Angelina shouted.
"I knew that!" Ash said.
Brock and Misty were the only ones who took action. They tried to pull Angelina out, but they couldn't. Even when Pikachu, Ash and Wartortle tried, they couldn't get Angelina out of the hole. She was in too deep.
"Listen guys, you find a way out and I'll swim underneath the ship and to the surface through this hole." Angelina instructed. "Hydro, let's go!"
It was much easier getting to the surface than going down against the pressure of the water. Wartortle and Angelina collapsed against an old board. After awhile, she saw Ash and his friends up on a wooden raft. She swam over to them. Misty and Brock pulled her and Wartortle out of the water.
"Where's Team Rocket?" Angelina asked.
"Don't know," Ash replied. "We thought they'd swim to surface with a Magikarp."
"There's nothing more we can do except try to find dry land," Brock suggested eagerly.
"Let's see, nothing but ocean in every direction, and no way to tell which direction to go," Ash said, looking about his surroundings.
"I remember the story of Noah, when he had to find dry land, he sent a bird to find it, and returned with a branch." Brock explained thoughtfully.
"What a great idea, we're gonna do the same thing as Noah," Ash said and called out his Pidgeotto. "Go search for dry land! Bring us back anything you find!" The bird Pokemon nodded and flies away, bringing back Team Rocket and a floundering Magikarp about thirty minutes later.
"They weren't able to make it." Misty breathed.
"Not even Team Rocket deserved this," Ash said.
"Yeah, I guess the only decent thing to do is give then a traditional burial at sea," Brock suggested.
"That's right, it's our duty to, even if they were our enemies," Ash added, he and his friends prayed quickly, then bent down and slowly shove the bodies towards the water. Their plan was hindered when James and Jessie leapt up, throwing Meowth into the water.
The four trainers jumped back, screaming. "ZOMBIES!"
"Who are you calling zombies?!" James glared at them.
"We are not zombies!" Jessie snaps miffedly.
Meowth has fallen back into the water, and splashes madly before pulling himself back in. Pikachu snaps it's fingers angrily. Everyone sat down on the raft and remained silent. There was very little to say, really. They were stranded on a boat without anything to eat. The only sound was the waves and annoying Magikarp that just flopped on the raft, repeatedly saying its name. Hours past by and soon night fell, everyone fell asleep.
The very next day, everyone was dejectedly hungry while Angelina sneaks a corn muffin in her mouth and sips French Vanilla tea without the others looking.
"I want some food," James moaned.
"Stop it!" Jessie snaps. Ash and Brock stare at the incoherently splashing Magikarp, while Jessie and James think the same way.
"Gotta eat something, like Fillet-of-Karp…."
"Or fried Karp…."
"Fresh marinated Karp…."
"Karp Flambi…."
"Dat's it! Dinner is now soived!" Meowth leaps into action, throwing his mouth around Magikarp's head and biting down but his fangs cracked as a result.
"I wouldn't try that again if I was you. Check your Pokedex, because Magikarp is just scales and bone," Misty grumpily explains, while Meowth holds his cheeks and cries.
"Ugh! Not only can this fish not swim, its not even good for eating!" James said angrily.
"See I told you buying it was stupid!" Jessie scolded.
"You stupid useless Pokemon! I don't want to be your master!" James leaped up and kicked the reddish-orange fish into the water. "Good riddance, Magikarp!" he snaps as it splashes desperately in the water.
"I feel sorry for it," Misty said, and Angelina agreed somewhat.
They all stared as the splashing Magikarp begins to glow a pure white. It slowly grew into a giant, bright blue serpent with yellow scales and stomach. Its mouth hang open, revealing sharp teeth. Sharp, angry crimson eyes glared at us.
"What is that?!" James yelled.
"Oh Shiitaki," Angelina gawked in fear, taking out her Pokedex. "Magikarp evolved into Gyrados!"
'Gyrados, the Atrocious Pokemon. It has a vicious temperment, so use extreme caution. Its fangs can crush stones and its bones are harder than steel.'
James calmly smirked at his Pokemon, "I'm James, your master. Obey me." The Gyrados growled in displeasure and James instantly clutches his head and screams in fear.
"Dim-wit!" Jessie growled, "If you're the master, don't act like you're scared of it!"
"I am scared!" James cries.
Angelina slapped her palm to her forehead. "Come on, James! Show some backbone!"
"Goldeen, Staryu, Starmie!" Misty called out her Water Pokemon. She ties ropes around them and then to the raft.
"How will you battle it?" Brock asked.
"My strategy is..." Misty pauses with a smile, "RUN AWAY!"
Misty's Pokemon pull the raft away at rapid speeds, while the angry Gyrados gives chase. Ash, Misty, Brock, Angelina, and Jessie help by rowing with staffs, while James lamely paddles the water with his hand.
"What's it doing?" Ash asked.
"It just evolved, maybe its tired out," Brock said as the Gyrados stopped.
"We made it!" Jessie and James laughed, hugging.
"Unless the stories are true," Misty said ominously.
"What're you talking about, Misty?" Ash asked.
"Sailors tell terrible stories about the Gyrados. I think this might be... it may be Dragon Rage!" Misty gasped, basically bringing everybody down.
"DRAGON RAGE!" everyone cried in terror.
Waves begin to lap up, more and more Gyrados appear, and they begin to circle around and around.
"Hey, what're they doing?" Ash asked.
"Dragon Rage, Gyrados's ultimate attack!" Misty said.
Everyone watched the group of Gyrados form a whirlpool which becomes a water whirl-wind, it catches up their raft and sucks them up into the water tornado.
"Let's go!" Brock yelled.
"No one's ever gotten away from Dragon Rage!" Misty cried.
"Whoa, this is it!" Ash screamed. "Hey Brock! Misty! Pikachu! Angelina! Whatever happens, don't let go!"
The foursome hold onto each other for life. Angelina clasped Brock and Wartortle's hands. Wartortle was slipping... Angelina lost it! Angelina grabbed Brock's other hand tightly after he had lost hold of Ash and Misty.
"I like you a lot!" Angelina yelled.
"Me too!" Brock called back.
Then everything went black.
Angelina woke up 'who knows how long' later. She stood up and collapsed. Surviving the life-threatening Dragon Rage of a Gyrados is tiring. She looked around. Wartortle was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh no!" Angelina yelled in frustration.
That woke everybody else up.
"Wha-what happened?" Brock asked.
"My Wartortle is gone!" Angelina shrieked.
"It'll be all right." Brock reassured. "We'll find War-" he was cut off by Ash.
"Yah! I only have two of my Pokéballs! And Pikachu's gone!" Ash cried.
"Hey Ash, we'll find them." Misty said. "Let's start looking."
The four trainers started walking. They walked for a long time. It got dark all too soon.
"Guys, we're really outta find a safe some to crash for the night," said Brock.
Then something huge, yellow and pointy flew over us, electricity flying out of it.
"I've never seen a flying Pokemon like that before," Misty said.
"Ah, me neither." Brock agreed. "It's one of the most incredible Pokemon I've ever seen."
"You guys, that was Zapdos!" Angelina called back. "The Legendary Bird of Electricity!" she quickly whipped out her Pokedex as the Pokemon dove in on them.
"Zapdos, the Electric Pokemon. This legendary Pokemon has the ability to control electricity. It usually lives in thunderclouds and gains power if it is stricken by lightning bolts."
Angelina dove out of the way, but lost track of her friends. That was bad; especially because it was night. She sent out Charmeleon to protect her, and fell asleep. She awoke the next morning feeling good and her Charmeleon was already up.
"C'mon, Charcoal! Let's go and find a way outta here!"
"Char!" the fire-lizard nodded in agreement.
Angelina ran all the way to the beach, laughing while Charmeleon followed right behind. She spotted a bridge she hadn't seen before. After returning her Pokemon, Angelina walked over, but the bridge gave way in the middle and she fell into something hard and metal, and it was moving fast! She was riding on a set of track, and in some kind of metal cart that was used for mining. And, to her surprise, was accompanied by Jessie and James, along with Ash, Brock, and Misty.
"Look! Our Pokémon!" Angelina exclaimed.
Everyone saw a giantic Charizard and a giantic Blastoise running at them. Below them were Ash's Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. Angelina's Wartortle was with them too. Angelina also noticed Team Rocket's Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth.
"Pikachu! Charmander! Squirtle! Bulbasaur!" Ash called.
"They'll all be trampled if you don't do something!" Misty cried.
Ash turned to the Rockets, "Stop the car now!"
Jessie crossed her arms stubbornly, "We can't do that."
James held up a metal stick, "We can't stop; the breaks broken."
"Your kidding me." Ash groaned.
"But we've gotta help them!" Angelina said, determined to save her Pokemon.
"Look ahead!" Misty called. Angelina turned her head to the front, she gasped when she noticed a giant hill in the tracks.
"Prepare for big trouble!" James whimpered.
"Make it double!" Jessie moaned in fright. "And I can't stand roller coasters!"
"What'll we do?" Misty asked in panick.
"Hold on tight!" Brock said.
Jessie screamed, "WE'RE GONNA CRASH!"The cart zooms around the loop, which luckily gives the Pokemon time to catch up to the cart.
"Jump in!" Ash called.
The Pokémon jumped in one-by-one; Squirtle landing in Misty's arms, Bulbasaur and Charmander in Brock's, and Wartortle jumps into Angelina's. Ekans' falls into the arms of the dazed and confused Jessie, while Koffing grins with love and affection at the extremely pleased James. Pikachu kind of floats in the air a bit before finally landing in Ash's arms.
"Aren't we missing someone?" Jessie asked, crying happily as she hugs Ekans.
"The furriest member of our team?" James agrees, petting Koffing.
"You mean Meowth?" Meowth laughed, appearing over the side. "I CAT-apulted."The cable from the cart suddenly has hooked Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur, Pikachu and Kabutops.
"They're after us!" Misty screams.
"M-maybe our luck will hold out!" Ash said hopefully.
"Well, based on out recent amount of luck," James began. "I'm sure the cable will snap."
"That should happen right about now." Jessie mumbled, and just as they predicted, the cable snapped. "Ahhhh," she moans low in her throat.
"Then we'll probably get hurled into the air." James predicted. As soon as he said it, the cart was flung into the air. Angelina and the others hang onto the cart for dear life.
"Then we'll probably crash into something," Meowth finished.
Everyone screamed as the cart smashed right through the Zapdos that was flying by, leaving trails of nuts and bolts and wires behind.
"That's weird, that's looks like a mechanical Pokemon!" Brock growled.
"Hey! I thought these Pokemon were real?" Ash exclaimed.
"No, really? So did I!" Angelina shrieked sarcastically.
Zapdos smashes into the finally halted Giant Pokemon below, making them explode.
"And then finally." James added.
"We hit the water," Jessie finished.
The cart began to dive the water that was below them. Everyone screamed as they fell towards the cool liquid.
"A VERY, VERY LONG DROP!" Meowth managed to say before we hit the water.
Ash recalled his Charmander and Bulbasaur, while his Squirtle aided him in swimming to the surface. Misty called on her Starmie, who helped her and Brock. Angelina swam towards the surface with the help of her Wartortle. All of them managed to reach the shore after swimming for several minutes, and took a deep breath. Everyone else seemed to be relieved, because they were on a different island. They finally exited the forest and arrived at the entrance of a beautiful city with a beach that stretched for miles.
"It's Porta Vista!" Misty gasped. "Let's go swimming!"
"What are we waiting for, let's go!" Ash yelled.
Angelina joined Ash and friends as they charge down in excitement towards the blue surf and white sand. Its time for our heroes to soak up some rays, which is just the beginning of another exciting adventure.
