Chapter Ten: All Aboard the Titanic... Er-S.S. Anne!
It was a victory that Shetan was proud of. In fact, everyone was proud, except for the Bug Catcher. Shetan also managed a win in a close match with a Weepinbell. After the loss, Weepinbell and its trainer began weeping.
"Pika Pikachu." (Weeping Weepinbell.) Purge commented.
"I don't get it." Jessica said.
"I don't even think I want to know." Rita mused.
Then they met up with a female Cooltrainer with a tough-looking Cuebone. Jessica sent out Bazaar.
"Vine Whip!" Jessica ordered happily.
"Bulba, Ba Saur!" (Take that, you bonehead!) Bazaar managed to K.O. the Cuebone with a single attack.
"Yay! Good job, Bazaar!"
"Bulbasaur." (Thank you.) Bazaar was withdrawn into his Poke'ball. It wasn't long until Shetan was up to battle a Butterfree.
"Ember!"
"Char!" (Roar!) Shetan's blinkers prevented him from seeing any fire and successfully landed the fire attack on Butterfree.
"Free!" (Ow!) Butterfree cried in pain.
"Butterfree, Confusion!" the Bug Catcher ordered. Butterfree unleashed its psychic attack and dropped Shetan's hit points to the red zone. Shetan was sent flying into the ground. When he got to his feet, Butterfree was nowhere in sight.
"Charmander?" (Where did she go?) Butterfree was hovering beside Shetan, but because of the blinkers, he could only see in front of him.
"Shetan, look out!" Rita yelled.
"Pikachu!" (To your left!)
Shetan turned to the right.
"Pika, Pikachu!" (No, your other left!)
"There's more than one left?" Jessica asked Purge, who just ignored her trainer.
Shetan turned to the left, but Butterfree flew to his rear.
"Tackle!" Butterfree flew forward for a sneaky Tackle.
"Ember!" Shetan spouted fire from his tail and singed Butterfree before she could use Tackle. Butterfree dropped like a fly, defeated.
Jessica sighed a breath of relief.
"Pika..." (Whew...)
"Nice." said Rita.
When they met up with two more trainers, Rita insisted on battling them. She did and she won. They finally entered Vermillion City and, of course, their surroundings turned orange.
"Sweet!" Jessica cried out before entering the Poke'mon Center.
"We still need to figure out how the both of us are going to get on the S.S. Anne when we have only one ticket." said Rita as she, Jessica, and Purge left the Poke'mon Center.
"I have an idea!" exclaimed Jessica.
"I've got a better idea." Rita proclaimed.
Rita, who was pulling a rolling suitcase, led Purge and a suspicious-looking Jynx to the dock where the ticket man awaited them. The ticket man was leaning back lazily in a folding chair.
The ticket man put down his magazine, "Ticket please."
Rita flashed the S.S. Anne ticket, "Here it is. One ticket for me." Rita handed the ticket man the ticket, "My Pikachu... and... my Jynx are coming aboard with me... Isn't that right... Jynx?"
"Quack." the Jynx replied. Rita and Purge sweatdropped.
The ticket man cocked his eyebrow, "Whatever." the ticket man bit off one half of the ticket, swallowed it, and handed the other half to Rita.
"...Thanks..."
"Sure, enjoy your cruise." he said unenthusiastically as he returned to reading his magazine.
Rita sighed. She with the suitcase, Purge, and the Jynx walked up the ramp.
"Just a minute!" the ticket man yelled suddenly. Rita, Purge, and the Jynx froze, "Let me see your suitcase."
"Stay here, you two." Rita said to Purge and the Jynx and she rolled her suitcase down the ramp to meet the ticket man.
He took one glimpse at the suitcase and went back to his magazine, "Nice suitcase. Have a good trip."
Rita rolled her eyes and dragged her suitcase up the ramp where Purge and the Jynx had been waiting for her, "Let's go."
"Ello, ello! I am the guy who directs people to their cabins and I direct people to their cabins!" a perky guy in a nice French suit greeted Rita aboard the ship.
"H-Hi?"
"Let's get you and your darling Pikachu and your weird-looking Jynx, that looks like a young girl with an I.Q. equivalent to a basket of fruit wearing a costume to pass herself as a Jynx, to your cabin!"
"Right." Rita replied.
"Let's not dilly dally!" exclaimed the guy who directs people to their cabins, "Let's go, come on, this way, this way, over here, let's go, come on now, over here, this way."
Rita and Purge were becoming irritated. Finally, they arrived to a vacant room.
"Here we are, this is it, right here, this is the place, I like pie!"
SLAM!
"Freak." Rita muttered when she slammed the door in the guy who directs people to their cabins' face.
"Pika." (He is.)
"We made it, Jessica." said Rita and Jessica popped out of the suitcase.
"Ta-da!"
"Yeah... Alright, Jynx, we got you on. Go have fun!" Rita opened the door to let Jynx out and Jynx went to join the party on the deck.
Right after Rita closed the door, someone knocked, "Room service!"
"I didn't call for room service!" Rita went toward the door.
"I did!" Jessica stated happily.
"What?... How?... We just got here!" Rita exclaimed.
"I'm special." Jessica replied.
"Sure." Rita opened the door. It was the guy who directs people to their cabins. He was holding a platter with a pile of sourdough grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches.
"Here are your grilled cheese sandwiches, ma'am. Here they are, right here, your sandwiches, here they are, enjoy your sandwiches, I can't do math."
"THANK YOU!" Rita bellowed angrily and she snatched the tray of grilled cheese sandwiches and slammed the door.
"YAY! My grilled cheese sandwiches are here!" Jessica took the tray, sat on the bed, set the tray at her side, picked up a sandwich, and took a zealous bite. Then Purge hopped up onto the bed and sniffed the pile of sandwiches.
"Go ahead, Purge!" Jessica said after swallowing. Then she released Bazaar, Shetan, and Lakota to help her eat the grilled cheese sandwiches. Each of the Poke'mon took a sandwich and examined it.
"Want it, Rita?" Jessica waved a sandwich in Rita's face, "It's cheddar!" She sang.
"Sure." Rita took the sandwich and bit into the crispy sourdough bread and gooey cheddar cheese.
"Pika Pikachu!" (This is so good!) Purge exclaimed as she drooled while gazing starry-eyed at her sandwich she had bitten in. Bazaar ate his slowly, Shetan ate his in one bite, Lakota dumped sugar onto hers and ate it.
Let's see what the guy who directs people to their cabins is up to.
"What a nice young lady she was. Very friendly, quite..."
"FREEZE!" several Officer Jennys surrounded the guy who directs people to their cabins, "You're under arrest for... serving sourdough grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches!"
"What's wrong with that? Why am I in trouble for that? How come that's wrong?"
"As I recall, a witness saw that one of the sandwiches was on rye bread and had Swiss cheese." an Officer Jenny replied and the other Officer Jennys gasped.
"You'll never take me alive! You'll never get me!" the guy who directs people to their cabins ran out on the deck, through the party, and leaped into the ocean, "Wheeeee!"
SPLASH!
"I escaped! Yes! I got away! They didn't get me! They..." the guy who directs people to their cabins was interrupted when the "Jaws" theme played in the background.
Something was swimming through the water while creating piles of foam that broke away and was carried away by the ocean current. Then it emerged.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" he screamed like a girl and he was bound by at least forty tentacles.
"Tenta, Cruel!" (Sup, dawg!) It said as it foamed at the mouth and shook the guy who directs people to their cabins like a maraca. As the Tentacruel shook his victim, Spanish music played in the background. The Tentacruel began dancing on the ocean's surface as he shook his human maraca. Then the music stopped, "Tenta!" (Olay!) The Tentacruel stuffed the guy who directs people to their cabins in his foamy mouth, swallowed him, and dove back into the sea.
After the Officer Jennys witnessed that, they rejoiced and did a happy dance.
Back in the cabin, Jessica, Rita, Purge, Lakota, Bazaar, and Shetan were up against a rye bread and Swiss grilled cheese sandwich.
"Stay back, guys. Don't make any sudden movements." Jessica warned.
"Come on! It's just a stupid sandwich!" Rita bent down to pick up the sandwich, but she recoiled when it began growling and barking, "What the heck?"
Then the sandwich roared like an angry Onix. Jessica, Rita, Purge, Lakota, Bazaar, and Shetan ran out of the cabin with the sandwich hopping after them.
