We give you Chapter Two: Misinformed
Pikachirate's Point Of View
It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, and the sky was a soft blue. I was in one of the best moods. Wanna know why? I found out about a rumour yesterday at a bar. It was about "The Golden Apple". It's the most valuable item in the world. It's said to be shipped to the Land of Yellow, heavily guarded.
I just wished my spy could have contacted me. Then I would have had more information. Information I would trust.
My Crew gathered around me. We were having a meeting, and, since I was the Captain, I would have to come up with a plan for stealing this "Golden Apple".
"Alright, I called you here, because we got ourselves a new mission," I started. My Crew already started to chit-chatter. They seemed… happy about the new mission.
"We're going to steal the 'Golden Apple'. It's going to be shipped this night to the Land of Yellow. We're going to board the ship when everyone is sleeping. Some people will stand as lookout, and then Abra will teleport into the room where the 'Golden Apple' is located. Then he will steal 'The Golden Apple' and teleports back to the Lightning Shadow. After that I'll give the sign that Abra is back and everyone will get back to the ship before we get noticed. Understood?" I heard a loud 'yes, sir!' and then hell broke loose.
Everyone was working hard. We were lucky Chansey thought about dinner, otherwise we would starve, and as a result the mission would have failed. Chansey is the best pirate on my ship, and I'm lucky to have her. She doesn't fight. She heals the wounded, and that is one of the most important jobs here.
Chansey prepared, together with her student Happiny, all kinds of medical stuff. With weird, weird names…
After everything was prepared, my pirate team had to wait for nightfall. Just to be sure, we would start the mission a few hours after nightfall.
Since we had some time left, we were watching the stars. It was an unusually clear night, and the moon was, as they call it, young.
The whole Crew was laughing and having fun, I included. Most of the time we were being chased, but they lost track of us. That was one worry less.
Still, this was my family. We all had different ideals, but fate brought us together. Now we're trying to succeed every goal of our Crew, and world peace in the world. Next to that, we didn't want to get involved in some stupid war.
"Captain," Buneary said. "A Pelipper has arrived with news from the spy in the Land of Iron."
"Let's take a look at it. Do you have the message with you?" Of course she had. She made sure every "i" was dotted, and every "t" crossed on this ship. Nothing was left unfinished when she passed by. She kinda was the strict secretary.
"Yes, sir! Our spy says that the Princess of the Land of Iron has passed away… The Land of Iron will send requests to every other country to stop the wars." I doubted that the other countries would agree to that. "The girl died of a lung-disease, which was caused by all the fights in her country. In the memory of the Princess, they want to have peace in the world. Even if it will only last a month." She couldn't keep her voice from shaking. Everyone on this ship hated the wars that raged.
"Maybe you should get some sleep," I said with a friendly smile. "Today must have worn you out." She nodded and left off to the dorms.
Now I was in a foul mood. I decided to walk around, maybe some chit-chatting with the Crew, and after that completing the mission.
First I went to Blastoise. His aim was the best, and he's busy with training two Squirtles. We're lucky to have him, since we can fight back, without taking any lives. He has saved us many times.
"How's it going, Blastoise?" I said. Even now, he was busy training his disciples. They looked tired. "Maybe they deserve some rest? After all, it is the middle of the night." The Squirtles looked tired… I think I came no minute too soon.
Blastoise agreed. "Go, there is always tomorrow to train your aim. Good night." And with that, the Squirtles scurried towards their beds, where their mother was.
"Pikachu, got any news from the spy in the Land of Leaves? I mean, you do want to have your information confirmed, right?" Blastoise said. I knew damn well that it would have been better to have the information confirmed, but it is what it is.
"Sorry, Blastoise, we only got information from Spoink. It was tragic news, Buneary almost couldn't stop her tears from flowing," I started. I knew he would want to know what the news was, so I continued. "The Land of Iron's Princess passed away, and now the country has asked of at least a month of world peace in memory of her," I finished.
Blastoise had a weird look on his face I saw many times; he was trying to remember something.
"She was Prince Elekid's fiancée, wasn't she?" Blastoise spoke in a slow voice. And who was 'Prince Elekid'?
"Who?" I really didn't know who this Elekid was. I know, I am the Captain, but I don't know everything!
Blastoise sighed. "Pikachu, he's the Land of Yellow's Prince. Don't you have some kind of notebook with all the information with you?" I wanted to argue back, but Blastoise answered the question himself. "Of course not, since Buneary, our secretary, only trusts herself to write every detail down." I grimaced at the memory of what happened when I took notes of every message.
No one was able to read it, and it was unorganized.
Buneary had different notebooks. There was one for each country, so the information would be easier to find. Next to that, she had the best brains on this ship, so she remembered every detail and made connections between the messages.
"Care to join me and watch the stars, Blastoise? It has been a while since we took a break," I stated. Although, I knew his answer already.
"Of course, I deserve a moment in peace every once in a while." We went to the deck, and were having fun. Just like the old times today.
It was finally time to start the mission. Some of the younger Crew members were starting to get nerves because they haven't had such an important mission like this.
Everything looked quiet on the other ship, but, just to be sure, I sent Chatot to scout the area and look where the treasure could be hidden. After a few minutes, Chatot came back. He said that there were barely any guards on the ship.
There was a Wobuffet steering the wheel. The room at the centre of the ship was the best guarded and should contain the treasure.
I gave the signal to the crew that we would board the ship now. The ropes were thrown to the other ship. We climbed on to the other ship. The lookouts got in position very quickly, and gave the signal to Abra, so he knew he could teleport into the ship.
I saw him disappear, and began to fight together with my Crew. I didn't have to bother, because our only enemy was the Wobuffet steering the wheel. Gengar took care of him within seconds. One Hypnosis, and the Wobuffet fell asleep on the floor.
Now we simply had to wait for Abra to return with 'The Golden Apple'.
Abra's Point Of View
When I got the signal from the Captain, I started to concentrate, because I needed to come in the room at the centre of the ship. I used teleport, and the world started to twirl around me. I knew this feeling, and I closed my eyes.
I arrived in a dark room, and it smelled very strange… like flowers, or something similar. It confused me a little. Why would it smell like flowers? But it didn't really matter, so I continued my search for 'The Golden Apple'.
There wasn't much in the room - just a closet and a large bed – and the room was larger than I thought. There wasn't anyone sleeping in the large bed, though. I opened the closet, hoping they hid 'The Golden Apple' in it.
The closet wasn't locked, so I doubted it. I wanted to close it after I searched through it – No 'Golden Apple' - but then… BAF, something heavy fell on the floor, before I could catch it...
If a Princess has to marry a Prince
Why is it arranged?
Why can they not simply fall in love, as they do in fairytales
It always happens, guy meets girl, girl meets guy
And love comes in existence
Why does love always cheat?
Love is not fair, just like life
Our life is not fair
We Princesses do things called 'Leadership'
We do the right thing when no one is watching
And get punished for doing one wrong thing among the thousand
