Dsclaimer: I do not own Pokemon... or Monopoly.
Tory and his mom drove down the streets of Fuchsia City towards the port. Terri was still furious about Tory winning and didn't come along, and Tory's dad was at work. They pulled into a parking space. Tory unloaded his luggage and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek. "Oh, I am so happy for you," she said.
"Me too. Good bye, I love you," waved Tory. As he walked towards the cruise liner, he could see a tear rolling down her cheek. He was about to cry too, but he didn't want to so he grabbed a Pokeball and threw it on the ground. His Araidos came out and crawled onto his back. He needed to take his mind off of leaving his mom.
He looked forward and saw the ship. It was humongous with three magnificent white smoke stacks, and large, regal windows. He couldn't believe his eyes. The ship was so big for just the four of them going. But then he realized that it was also for the Pokemon. In front of the ship was a large crowd, buzzing with excitement.
"Hey, look! There is the other finalist," shouted somebody. Half of the crowd rushed over towards Tory. The reporters flashed their cameras and waved their microphones in his face, shouting questions to him. None of which he would answer. His Araidos was startled with all the excitement, and was clawing nervously into Tory's back. "Ah, will you stop it, Araidos? I think my back is starting to bleed."
Tory felt a warm soothing sensation on his back. He turned around and saw another of the finalists. It was the stark white girl. Her hair was blowing in the cool ocean breeze. Next to her, was an Alakazam. "What was that?" he asked, trying his best to make the question sound polite.
"You said your back was bleeding. I told my Alakazam to heel it for you," she said. Her voice was almost as zombie-ish as her appearance. "My name is Melanie." She held out a hand to shake. He reached for it, but her hand was bumped out of the way and replaced with another woman's.
Tory looked up and saw that it was the rich, woman that also made it to the finals. She was wearing a white fur coat and her white blonde hair was put up in a loose bun. She laughed as she shook his hand. "Don't waste your time with such freaks. I am Gertrude Monopoly. And that is my husband over there," she pointed. "He is Mr. Jeeves Monopoly."
"Nice to meet you," Tory said. Gertrude's husband came over. "Nice to meet you to, Mr. Monopoly." He wouldn't shake Tory's hand. And then, a long sleek car pulled up to the pier. The door opened and the final finalist came out. His scientist like appearance was made even more relevant by the white lab coat he had on. Within seconds he was surrounded by the crowd.
After a few minutes, the sound of a man clearing his throat was magnified over the mega phone. The crowd silenced and waited intently on what was coming next. "Hello to everyone here today. As you know, in a few minutes our finalists will be boarding the ship to the Seafoam Islands!" The crowd cheered. When it became quiet the man spoke, "But first, because this ship is brand spankin' new, we need to have a short ceremony." He took a campaign bottle by the top. "This is the seventh and, by far, largest ship in the Pokemon Cruises fleet. It will be known as the S.S. Floaty Boat!" A few people laughed. "Ah, you laugh now, but wait until you get inside this beauty. It's huge, it's gigantic, it's titanic! And it's going to the Seafoam Islands!" He raised the bottle above his head and slammed it onto the hull. The bottle shattered and the campaign sprayed against the side of the boat. The crowd cheered wildly.
The boarding ramp lowered. "Will the final four contestants please board the S.S. Floaty Boat at this time," said the man. The crowd made an isle for the Tory and the three others. Gertrude pushed her way in front of the other three. Melanie stayed behind the rest, and the scientist went in front of Tory. They all went up to the boat.
Araidos was gently clawing at Tory's back. "Stop it will you?" he whispered. Araidos stopped. Tory came to the ramp. He had some trouble lifting his luggage up the ramp. But he quickly found that it seemed to float up it. He turned around and saw that Melanie was making her Alakazam do it. "You don't have to do that," he said. Tory's luggage dropped and he fell head over heels down the ramp. The crowd laughed at him. Melanie was half way up the ramp looking down at him. Tory stood up and, once again, his luggage floated up the ramp.
Once everybody was on board the ship, the fog horn boomed. The crowd cheered louder. Confetti floated from the windows of the ship down towards the crowd. The ramp was disconnected and the sound of the engines could barely be heard over the din. The ship lurched forward and the crowd cheered even louder. The fog horn sounded again. All four finalists waved to the crowd as they departed.
