White Pony: Yayness! Another chapter! I had so much fun writing this chapter and I hope you all have just as much fun reading it!

Disclaimer Dude: Whoopie... White Pony doesn't own Poke'mon or any other references that I'm too lazy to mention.

Chapter Twelve: ICEBERG!

"That... was random," Rita mused as she gazed up at the large hole in the ceiling.

"It sure was," Jake agreed.

The Poke'mon nodded in mutual agreement, except for Lakota. She was at a hot dog eating contest. Just kidding. She was still at her sugar chugging contest where she had shattered the world record and still kept on taking it in.

"Everybody, run for your lives!" a panicked voice screeched. It was the Captain, "There's an iceberg a comin!"

Everybody blinked for a moment. Then when they finally comprehended what the Captain said, they cried out loud and went into a frenzy. People ran in circles, knocked objects over, and knocked each other over. People jumped overboard and became snacks for the rabid Tentacruel, people fought each other for no reason like crazy housewives at Christmas shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Some curled up in corners and sucked their thumbs. The Captain was sobbing uncontrollably and he wiped his tears away with Purge's tail before he was shocked.

Rita looked around the room at the screaming people. Her eyes fell upon a middle-aged man dragging himself on the floor while trying to escape the Jynx that was gnawing on his legs. Then she saw an old man giving suggestive looks at a soda machine that had been crushed into the shape of a Growlithe chasing its tail after Lakota drank all of the soda. Rita shuddered. She whistled loudly, getting everyone's attention.

"Settle down, people! We're not sinking yet!" Rita roared, "Captain!"

"Eh?" the Canadian Captain looked up from a Victoria Secret magazine to Rita.

"You're suppose to be steering the ship away from the iceberg!"

"No, that's the Captain's job... Wait! I am the Captain! I must save my ship and the losers aboard it!" the Captain said with determination.

Then the ship shook violently, sending everyone falling to the floor.

"We're sinking!" a faint voice screamed in panic.

"Well... I better be going," the Captain jumped overboard and he fell victim to the rabid Tentacruel.

"Now can we panic?" a Youngster asked.

"Sure," Rita sighed.

Everyone else instantly went back into their panicked frenzy.

"Wow, this party's getting crazy!" Jessica said excitedly.

Jake cocked an eyebrow and Rita shook with rising anger.

"They're not partying, they're panicking!" Rita bellowed.

"How come?"

"Because we're sinking!"

Jessica blinked in confusion.

"The ship that we're on is sinking!"

"I know that," Jessica rolled her eyes.

"At least she's not panicking," Jake stated.

"Yeah."

"There's nothing to be scared of, we have our Poke'mon to aid us."

Everyone on the ship instantly froze and they realized that the idiot was right. So they released their Poke'mon if they already haven't done so.

"Pika, Pikachu!" (Hey, everyone!) Purge hopped on a table, "Pikachu Pi, Pika Pi Pikachu!" (If we work together, we can escape!)

But none of the other Poke'mon were listening to Purge.

"That's right, Purge! If we all work together, we can escape!" Jessica translated for her Pikachu.

People cheered and three confetti.

"Well, yeah!" Rita interrupted the acclamation, "Of course we have to work together, but how are we going to do it?"

"I dunno," Jessica shrugged and everyone, people and Poke'mon, facefaulted.

"Does anyone have a Poke'mon that knows 'Surf'?" Jake asked the crowd.

"I do!" a Lass came forward, "I have a Lapras!"

"I have a Seel!" another Lass came forward.

"I have a Seaking!" a Fisher stepped forward.

"I have a rock," Halloween Charlie Brown said sadly. Then he magically turned into a Psyduck and dove inside a Poke'ball that fell out of Rita's bag. Rita was surprised.

"I guess you just got a new Poke'mon," Jake said as he patted Rita's shoulder.

"I guess so," Rita replied as she picked up the Poke'ball.

"HELLO! What are we going to do?" the livid crowd roared.

"Give me a minute to think!"

Over at a table, Lakota was searching for more sugar. She peeked under the table and found a Moon Stone, but she thought it was rock candy. When Lakota's paw reached out and touched the Moon Stone, she began to glow and she grew bigger.

"Pikachu! Pika Pikachu!" (Jessica! Look at Lakota!) Purge pointed at Lakota.

"Ohhh... shiny!" Rita rolled her eyes.

"Cool! She's evolving!" Jake exclaimed.

Bazaar and Shetan had finished the buffet and they watched Lakota evolve. Several people took pictures. One guy had a disposable camera set on "Flash". When he took the picture, the camera's flash reflected Lakota's glowing body and blinded him. He ran blindly until he ran overboard and lived the rest of his life as a blind servant for the rabid Tentacruel.

"Queeeen!" (Moooo!) Lakota screeched as soon as she had fully evolved into a Nidoqueen. Lakota shrugged and she, Bazaar, and Shetan went over to Purge, Jessica, Rita, and Jake.

"Awwww!" Jessica threw her arms around Lakota's neck and hugged her. Jessica eventually let Lakota out of her choking grip after Rita had whacked her with a pickle that was carved into the shape of a flipflop that was eating Finland.

Suddenly, water rushed in through the doorways.

"Shut the doors! Quick!" Jake ordered.

Buff Sailors and their Machop fought against the force of the oncoming water and closed the doors tightly.

"We can't hold them ourselves much longer!" a Sailor cried. Other trainers' Poke'mon came forward to help keep the doors tightly shut. A Machoke, a Kangaskhan, a Nidoking, and Lakota helped with the doors against the strength of the sea water's raging force.

"How are we gonna get out?" a Cueball shrieked madly.

Jessica looked up at the hole that was left by Team Rocket's escape pod.

"Hey, look! There's a hole in the ceiling!"

"You just noticed that?" Rita screamed. Jessica nodded in enthusiasm, "How could you just notice it now? You're-!"

"What?" Jessica asked.

"Duh! Why didn't I think of it before!" Rita's hand hit the side of her head, "We can escape through the hole in the ceiling!"

Everyone immediately stopped panicking at Rita's announcement and cheered.

Water cam in through the cracks of the doors at an alarming rate.

"We need to hurry!" Jake cried out.

"Bulbasaur!" (Hey, come on!) Bazaar yelled out at two other Bulbasaur and an Ivysaur and they came over. Bazaar magically pulled out a black marker and drew a large square under the hole in the ceiling and he stood on a corner, "Bulba Bulbasaur Saur." (Each of you stand on a corner.)

They obeyed. Bazaar tied his vines with the Ivysaur's that was diagonal from him.

"Bulbasaur." (You two do the same.) Bazaar ordered the other Bulbasaurs and they all joined vines in the center of the square.

"Hey, Bazaar, this is no time to be playing trampoline," said Jessica. If Bazaar knew an electric attack, he would've given Jessica a few jolts. So Purge did it for him. Jessica's body was on the ground twitching with electric charges.

"Alright, people! Listen up! We're gonna escape!"

"Hooray!" everyone cheered.

"Girl with the Lapras, come here!" Rita ordered, "Put your Poke'mon back inside its Poke'ball."

The Lass did what she was told.

"Bulbasaur Ba." (Let Lapras out when you get on the roof.)

"Jessica? What did Bazaar say?" Rita asked.

"Let Lapras out when she gets on the roof," Jessica repeated.

"Good idea," Rita pushed the Lass in the middle of the trampoline of vines. The three Bulbasaurs and one Ivysaur flung the Lass up through the hole in the ceiling. She screamed for the whole trip through the hole and landed on the roof. Then she let out her Lapras in the water and jumped on its back and waited for more people to come.

People lined up to be catapulted through the roof and climbed aboard a Surfing Poke'mon. Then it was Jessica's turn, she withdrew Lakota and Shetan and she was thrown up. She missed the hole and crashed through the roof, making a new hole that was the shape of her body. Rita came next.

The Machoke, the Kangaskhan, and the Nidoking were withdrawn by their trainers and the Sailors and their Machop were struggling to hold the doors shut.

"Come on, Jake!" Rita called from the ceiling.

"Go on without me! The Sailors and their Machop need my help!"

"But, Jake!"

"Don't worry about me, Rita! We'll see each other again someday! I promise!"

The Bulbasaurs and Ivysaur were withdrawn into their Poke'balls from their trainers above.

"Bye, Jake," Rita whispered and with remorse, she let out her Psyduck that luckily knew Surf. She, Jessica, and Purge climbed on top of Psyduck and he flailed wildly to stay afloat. He dog-paddled to shore which was only twelve feet away from the sinking ship.

Then Jessica found something on the ground and she picked it up.

"Rita? What's this?" Jessica asked, holding it in front of Rita's face.

"Woah. It's a Hidden Machine!" Rita said in awe.

"But I can see it."

"Whatever. It's a Cut Hidden Machine! You can teach your Poke'mon 'Cut'!"

"Bazaar saved us. So I think he should get to learn Cut."

"Pikachu," (I agree.) Purge nodded.

Bazaar was released and Jessica used the HM and taught him "Cut".

"What's that big building over there?" Jessica pointed at a large building that was pathetically trying to hide behind a thin tree.

"A Gym," Rita replied in monotone.

"Let's go in!"

"Pi!" (Yeah!)
