Seaspn Of Magic: This chapter has proven to be the most difficult to write. I think I doomed myself when I incorporated so many characters into the story, for my sake and sanity lets assume that all of Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh has been put in a weird situation since all the gym leaders, champions and elite four members are in the cruise with Dawn and the gang. They won't physically make appearances but might be mentioned once in a while so let us assume they are there okay? :3 Now on to the plot...Once I start writing it of course.
Note: In my story (and the sequel) team rocket will be good and join forces with the twerps...I mean the poke-gang...So if they start acting strange and off character you know why beforehand.
New chapter starts now, go!

You're The Reason

James, whom was currently staying in cabin 605 had a nostalgic feeling about being placed in a situation like this.
Most don't know his back story from before he joined team rocket and who would blame them? Even if he mentioned it, who would believe him?
As he walked towards the elevator to go to the restaurant and meet up with the group fleeting memories came back of a child whom had constantly always been in boats such as this one.
It's a bit funny and quite ironic. he thought to himself. I never thought I'd end up back to where I had run away from.
He had particular fond memories about boats and with this one he actually had a connection.
Luxury cruise line was one of those projects where he, at the young age of only nine years old had to sit through long, boring meetings discussing plans and construction.
It felt nice to know that even if he had abandoned his family, his grandfather had not given up on the project.
In fact, the end result was more than perfect and was exactly as he had envisioned it would look like.
Of course, he was only nine back then, what do children know about boats right?
The lifestyle of the rich and famous. That was the purpose of this boat. Catering to only those who had the money and wealth to pay for a cruise in a boat like this.
It made him sick that people would waste their money like that when it could be used for better things but of course that is being hypocritical to himself too. He once had that life, until he gave it all up that is.
His future was already planned out for him. Marry Jessebelle and continue the family legacy. He did not want that. Marrying someone simply for business connections was not for him and that was why he, at the news of his engagement had run away from home.
He stumbled upon Jesse not soon after and that was how they both became part of team rocket.
His previous life was soon forgotten, the only thing that kept a reminder of it was his name and precious bottle cap collection.
But to him Jesse and team rocket had been more of a family than any of his so called biological ones had ever been.
As he stood out in the dock and stared out the sea he could not help but laugh at his luck.
Life had a funny way of throwing little coincidences like this I mean whom would have thought that he would once again rejoin the life of the rich and famous he now so much detested.
He sighed and took a deep breath then went to join the rest of the twerps and Jesse for lunch.
No need to worry; wasn't that what the twerpette was always saying? Maybe he should apply that to his motto for now.
"Oh there you are James." Jesse said as he walked into the crowded restaurant and went towards the large group.
How did he find them in such a crowd? Well it was simple. May and Drew's nonstop bickering of course. Plus the green tinge in both Cilan and Drew's hair not to mention Paul's purple and Jesse's red had been too easy to spot even from far away.
He sat down next to Ash whom had saved him a seat.
"You should really try the lobster it sounds good." Jesse said across from him as a waiter came by to take his order.
"I'll just have a cheeseburger and a soda for now thanks." he said to the waiter without even glancing to the menu.
"You are unbelievable James here we are here, faced with the opportunity of a lifetime and you just want a cheeseburger."
"You wouldn't understand." he mumbled as he finally took the menu in his hands.
Ash smiled towards James. "its okay. I ordered a cheeseburger as well. "
"What did you get Dee Dee?" Kenny asked.
Since all of the boys were sitting in one side of the table and the girls were sitting in the other it was hard to have a conversation or tell what everyone else ordered.
"Mashed potatoes with chicken. May and Mitari got it too."
"Not me I ordered the lobster." Jesse said with a smirk.
Melody grimaced. "I'm surprised to admit I agree with Jesse on this one. I actually ordered the lobster as well."
"Lasagna." Drew and Brock said.
"Spaghetti." Paul, Gary, Cilan and Kenny said together.
"If I'm not full I might even get a chocolate cake for dessert." Melody said laughing.
Jesse high fived Melody. "Make that two cakes twerpette."
"I'll probably get the cheesecake it doesn't sound that bad." Dawn said
"Or the belgium waffles." May said.
"I'll have that for breakfast tomorrow" Dawn replied with a smirk.
"Why have it tomorrow when we could have it today? Oh waiter can you give us three orders of belgium waffles?" Melody said.
"Make that four." Jesse said
"Five." "Six." "Seven." "Eight." Ash, James, Kenny and Gary yelled out.
"Okay that would be like sixteen then because I know Paul and Bianca will want some later on and Ash eats for like three people." Misty said.
"Alright waiter you heard it sixteen Belgium waffles then."
"All of your appetite is worse than a saiyan's" Paul said as he glanced at the ruckus and went back to playing games in his iphone.
Everyone laughed at the comment and began talking about random things until the food arrived.
It took six waiters to be able to bring out all of the food and what was surprising the most was that everything somehow managed to fit into the table.
May whom had whispered something to the first waiter when she placed her order had come back a while later with a big birthday cake and had placed it in the middle of the table. "Alright guys listen up. This is Dawn's celebration party and as such it needs to go with style and remembered. That's why for the next week every single day at lunch time we'll be eating cake."
Dawn only groaned in response "If that is the case by the time we get to lake valor I'm going to be fed up of cake."
"This is going to be quite the trip." was the only thing Wallace said as he stared at the teens from their table.
All the adults were sharing a table which actually turned to be like seven tables together to be able to fit them all.
"Let them have their fun." Johanna said as she bit into her chicken. "Look at my Dawn I think this will truly be an unforgettable memory for her."
"In a place like this how could it not." Delia replied laughing as she and professor Oak had a toast with their wine glasses and cut a piece from their cake, May had the waiters put one in their table as well.
"Shouldn't we be concerned? I mean all that sugary mess looks quite unhealthy." Lance said
"They're just being teenagers. As long as they don't drink alcohol everything should be fine." Drake responded back.
And that was something all the adults could agree upon. To them after all the hard work all the teens had pulled off in their childhood they deserved this vacation.
{-}
After lunch everyone was too sugar induced to even go anywhere else but their cabins.
When they hit their respective beds they all passed out and the first to woke up confused was Dawn in cabin 606.
May was sprawled out in her bed and was mumbling things about Drew that Dawn could not help but giggle.
Dawn stood up and went to the bathroom to freshen up, grabbed some of her things and then went outside and knocked on cabin 605 where Ash opened up the door looking a bit sleepy.
"I'm guessing you all passed out too?" he whispered as he motioned to all the guys that were in the floor with a big bed sheet spread around them and various blankets covering them up.
When Dawn mumbled a barely audible "Yes." in response Ash laughed and motioned for her to wait for him and stay put.
He went inside the room and nudged Pikachu telling him that he was going out and for him to stay there until the rest of the guys wake up. Pikachu simply nodded his head and went back to sleep. Ash took his card, phone and poke balls then went out and closed the door as lightly as he could.
He and Dawn walked to the elevator and while they were waiting for it to arrive he asked her "What do you want to do today?"
She glanced at her phone and she responded "Well it's six and I'm still pretty full let's just go look around for a bit."
Ash agreed with her and when they got in the elevator he pressed for the first floor where he assumed the main deck was.
Turns out he was right because as they stepped outside the salty air and the vast sky greeted them. It was easy to tell that the sky was getting ready for the night as various colors of orange and yellow were mixed in the horizon.
Dawn looked on amazed and Ash smiled. Even he had to admit the sight was quite beautiful to witness.
Dawn walked on ahead and placed her hand in the railings. "Why do I feel like I am in the titanic?"
Ash went behind her and took her hands out the railing and stretched them out "Probably because I'm the king of the world?" he whispered as he grabbed her by the waist.
Dawn sighed in content but then said "That was too cliché."
Ash laughed. "It's not my fault we're on a boat, in a deck, in a similar pose to titanic is it? I had to take advantage of the opportunity."
"You misquoted and ruined the scene."
"Not really," he said as he spun her around and brought her closer to him. "I just made it my own."
Dawn squirmed her way out of his grip and ran away giggling "You butchered my favorite movie I'll never forgive you for that!"
Ash ran after her and catched up to her pretty easily. "As long as we don't end up dead in this boat ride I'll say the line with you as many times as you want me to." he said.
"Nope you're not getting out of this so easily."
"Ewwwww stop the yuck fest some of us are still in a sugar coma we don't need to witness even more sweet things." Drew said as everyone stepped out the elevator and ran to the deck.
"I think it's adorable." Melody said.
May held up her phone in a sly way. "May you didn't!" Dawn said horrified.
"Yes I did," she replied "I saw the whole titanic scene from the balcony and have it recorded."
"I recorded it too." Misty and Melody stated.
"I smell blackmail!" Jesse responded with a smirk
All the girls high fived Jesse "You got that right." they all said laughing.
