(Music: kanto bicycle theme)
They walked to the harbor the next day.
"Look at all the ships! They have so many different color Schemes" exclaimed Gary.
"Yeah, like Generic anime ship color scheme number one, generic anime ship color scheme number two…" Sighed Ashly who was currently in human form.
(I am the great poo-dini and I will grant you one wish)
dawn looked at hem dreamily. "I just wish we could go on one of these ships" she replied. She was walking with them in her human form as well.
(Wish granted, prepare to suffer mortals)
"Excuse me, are you all participating in the Chain Charged Contest and Combat Circuit?" A lady asked. She was standing by the boarding ramp to a cruse vessel.
"Um yes…." Gary said in confusion.
"Step this way please. All contenders get onboard free. There is a party being held onboard for whoever made it here in time!" The Lady explained.
"Hold on…I remember something like this….it didn't end well" Ashly said, "what is your game?" She asked.
"Nothing, it's just a party…." The lady replied slowly.
"I say we hop onboard" Dawn squealed. Before anyone could stop her she ran up the boarding ramp and onto the ship.
"Well, there's only one way to get her off of this thing again…" Brock sighed.
He, Ashly, and Gary followed dawn up the ramp.
Once onboard, they saw a table full of food, a pool, several battles going on, a large number of smaller tables, as well as some kiosks.
"Ashly, Dawn, return. I don't want you accidentally changing to your Pokemon versions among all these people" Gary whispered.
"You don't need to worry about that Gary. We got pretty good control over that" dawn replied.
"Well, I say we stick together just in case" Brock suggested.
"Wait, weren't we supposed to just find dawn and get off again?" Ashly asked.
They grabbed Dawn's arm and dragged her to where the ramp was, however they all saw the harbor getting smaller and smaller as they sailed away.
"Oh well, I guess we should go enjoy the party" dawn laughed.
"This is your fault" Ashly whispered to her angrily.
"No need to worry, right?" She asked.
(End music)
They walked back to the party and saw someone familiar was battling.
"Beedrill! Rapid fire Twin Needle!" Jack yelled.
His Pokemon began to shoot it's twin needle off at his opponent's Koffing. The attacks exploded upon hitting it and knocked it out.
"Koffing, are you alright?" It's trainer asked.
"Great job Beedrill!" Jack told his bug type.
"Hey Jack, long time no see" Gary said as his group walked over.
"Oh, well if isn't Garry the looser" Jack chuckled.
"Gary isn't a looser! He's a great friend and trainer" Ashly replied defensively.
Jack smirked. "Well, I'm glad he has at least some some taste in girls….although why he picked you is beyond me" he said.
"Oh you think we"re together?! No, no way" Gary said.
"Well, I'll bet you don't have a badge at From Surge's gym yet!" Jack mocked.
"Actualy, he does. He has badges from Cerulean, Pewter, and Vermilion" dawn retorted as Gary showed Jack his badge case, "How many do you have?!" She was tired of jack's stuck up Attitude.
"Oh, uh….i got the ones from Pewter, Vermilion, and Cerulian as well!" Jack said.
"YOUR LYING!" Brock said angrily.
"How would you know?" Jack asked.
"Because I am the Pewter City Gym leader and you haven't battled me once. Even if you came by after I left, my fill in would have recorded your win into the Pokemon League database. I checked it last night and your name wasn't in there" Brock explained.
Gary looked at Jack like he was stupid.
"Uh…I gotta go…see you!" Jack excused himself.
During their conversation, they didn't notice the ship was rocking more and more violently.
(Music: absolute death)
"May I have your attention please. We have been trapped in an unforeseen storm. There is no reason to panic, after the St. Anne fiasco, we learned from our mistakes and made an unsinkable vessel" the captain announced.
"Well that's reassuring…." Ashly grumbled.
The lights began to flicker before dimming. A sailor walled up to the captain.
"Um, I retract my previous statement…apparently this ship was made by a team of one thousand Mankey….they got fired from publishing company because they got bored easily then began to destroy their typewriters upon getting punch happy…stupid Mankeys…" the captain said.
Everyone began to scream and run to the lifeboats. During the confusion. Gary and his group were trying to find Jack and a lurch of the ship sent them down a set of stairs.
The ship sank beneath the waves with them still on board, knocked unconscious.
(Will our heroes make it off the boat?! Or are we ending the fic now due to lack of views and suggestions? And who is the father of Dawn and may's eggs?! Find out next time…but I think the story is getting a bit watered down by now…we aren't sorry)
