Hi everyone!
I know, finally an updated chapter updated! I just randomly got hit by sudden business, seeing how it was halloween an stuff and I had parties to go to and stuff, and was able to get this up as soon as I wanted... Sorry! However, please still enjoy it!

Disclaimer!
I no own pokemon... nor most of these characters used in this story... Which makes me a sad pufferfish...

Two deep green eyes stared out towards the other people and pokemon cheerfully walking and talking around her as they shopped in the marketplace. A woman with a soft strawberry blond hair, that almost look pink under the shade, seemed calm on the outside, sipping on her peach smoothie while lounging on a chair. She yawned, wondering when she would see a member of her "special" crowd. Boy, Chloe Meadows was bored.

The people who she knew was on the ship (at least, the people she suspected was on the ship) was not the same type of people she would normally work with. Of course, this is not a usual tournament. Chloe went along and entered, but she didn't care about what wins or losses she'd get. She would appear to care as much as the next person, but her only objective was her mission.

As she continued to watch the masses from her position in the sitting area, her side suddenly vibrated. pulled out a little red device and flipped it open, noticing she had gotten a message from someone:

White Queen to Red Queen.
Have you found the Doormouse and the Mad Hatter?

Chloe chuckled a bit and started to text back.

Red Queen to White Queen.
No, I haven't. But you need to lay off the Wonderland.

When she finished, Chloe set her Dextron-380 back onto her side pocket and leaned against her chair.

'And people say we don't have any senses of humor' she chuckled internally .

'They are very wrong.'

"Wow! This place is huge!" Danny exclaimed as he gawked at the large hallway that they were going down.

Odella smiled at the boy, of course thinking the same thing but not as much as the boy. Sure, she's lived the high life, but with her constant traveling, a rich girl soon forgets what it was like to be living in such a big house and given everything to her. Hey, at least she acted somewhat more normal unlike those spoiled rich girls that you saw on TV, yelling and whining about not having the right pairs of shoes or not being able to travel to somewhere extravagant because of some "unfair" reason. However, to tell the truth, it would probably have to be one of the bigger ships that she had been on in her years before starting up her travels which gave her some excitement.

Walking down the hall a little more, Odella finally caught glimpse of a door with a golden plate reading 3669 on the front and smile.

"Well, guess this is my room." She said, pulling out her room key and sliding it through the lock and opened the door once the little light turned green.

Taking one step into the room, Odella's face wasn't nearly as shocked at the extravagance of the room as Danny appeared to be. Don't get her wrong, she was surprised, just not at the rate as someone who hadn't seen anything close to this type of room would be. As she made her way over to a bed that was further away from the door, she studied the room even further, absent-mindedly sat the bag on said bed. She then threw herself onto the bed, making an 'Ooof'-ing sound as she plopped down on it. She bounced slightly as she flopped on the rather comfortable full sized bed that was on the right side before looking back towards the boy.

He was gazing around, probably hoping that his room was as nice as this one. Odella flashed another smile towards him then back to Eve, who was making herself comfortable on the pillows that was on the bed, then helped herself to the complimentary mints that she found, the ones that you'd usually find on the beds of suites at those fancy hotels. Odella snuggled up into the bed, messing up the bedding as she sprawled herself out.

"Man, this ship sure is a nice change from either sleeping outside or at a pokemon center" she said. This was it was just a total upgrade from the rooms at the pokecenters.

"I second that motion!" Danny said, beginning to think about the many nights that he had to sleep outside.

"Jiggly!" Eve bounced up and down on the pillows with joy, causing both Odella and Danny to laugh at her excited ness.

"Guess she thirds that. Say, where do you want me to set these down at?" Danny asked as he continued to scan the room. Odella got up from the super comfortable bed and took hold of both her bags that Danny held, tossing them over onto the now messy bed.

"Well, that solves that problem." Danny laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

"Time to go find your room, then we'll totally go explore the ship!"

"Then we'll go check out the competition!"

"And then check out the marketplace and mark which stores that we're totally gunna hit later!"

"Then grab something to eat!" Both were getting very excited, Flash and Eve could totally tell as both of their trainers pumped their fists into the air. The pokemon couldn't help but to sigh out about their trainers enthusiasm, but in the end, they were used to it.

Odella stood up from the bed, the pink puff pokemon jumping over to gain a position on her shoulder. She couldn't help but to notice that there wasn't any disturbance from the other bed at all. Her roommate must be on their way or something. Odella couldn't help but to wonder what her roommate was going to be like. Were they nice? Did they like to shop? Would they get mad if they woke up with black marker drawn all over their faces because Eve wanted to be a little troublemaker? Hopefully that didn't happen, but it was pretty possible that it could happen. Odella soon found herself looking towards the brown haired boy, who had began to look at his own room number.

"What's your room number?"

"It's 1519. Pretty much all the way on the west side of the ship." Danny said as he examined the little slip of paper.

"Well, can't be that bad, right?"

"Yeah, shouldn't be too bad. I mean, with all this walking, I should be able to loose this flab that I have." Danny jokingly grabbed a hold of his nonexistent fat and tried to jiggle it around, causing Odella to laugh.

"What did I tell you about eating so much doughnuts?"

"I can't help it! They call my name! They speak to me! They say 'Daaaaaaannny! Eaaaaaat usss! EAAAAAT UUSSSSSS!', now I can't turn them down! I must honor their wishes!"

Another burst of laugher came out of the lavender haired girl's mouth as Danny's silly expression, as the leafeon just gave him another roll of the eyes before jumping up onto Danny's shoulders. Danny couldn't help but to laugh along with her, enjoying this fun time that they were having. It has been a couple of months since their last meet with each other, so it didn't take rocket science to tell that they were really close.

"Okay, before my ribs split, let's go find your room and go explore." Odella smiled, rubbing her splitting sides. Danny was always the one who could really make her laugh hard enough that her sides cramp like as if she were sprinting somewhere really fast. He just had that kind of thing about him that just always made someone smile. Not once had she seen him angry or even displeased at something. He just always smiled and it made Odella very happy.

"Well," Danny began, motioning his arms towards the door, "Ladies first." Odella couldn't help but to smile at him, then walked past him acting like she was all high and mighty.

"Why, such a gentleman you are~" she said as she walked out of the door, Danny following after her, giving off a really goofy grin as both started heading west of the halls.

'About time...'

Akira thought as she approached the door that held the numbers 1693 silently, using the key to get into the room and shutting the door behind her.

Walking out towards the middle of the room, she noticed how big it was but slightly questioned about the two beds. What was with the other bed? Was it for pokemon who couldn't sleep in their own poke balls at night? Yeah, that was probably it.

She simply shrugged it off for now as she placed down the semi-large duffel bag by one of the beds as well as a back pack that was on her back. The duffel bag just had necessary items like clothes, extra pair of shoes, socks, ect. while the backpack had within it necessary poke-items, like healers, spare pokeballs, a few poffins and her badge/ribbons case. It also carried her wallet, pills, and more sugar cubes just incase. She was always prepared for something.

Finally, Akira reached for one of the pokeballs that were strapped to the belt around her hips and let out a luxio. Once out, the luxio looked around the room before looking back at his master.

"Yep... this is our new challenge..." she muttered before plopping down on the bed where she laid her items next to, placing her hands behind her head and stared up at the ceiling. The room was really comforting, it wasn't small, yet it wasn't too big. It had it's own little bathroom(of course, shouldn't all rooms? ), as well as twin dressers, probably for those kind of passengers who feel like three pairs of shoes or six t-shirts weren't enough to bring on a cruise.

The luxio then found himself jumping up onto the bed as well, laying down on it along side Akira's feet. The luxio wondered why his trainer was so fascinated with the ceiling, when he looked up, all he notice was a flat whitish-cream color that it was and the light. Maybe humans saw more meaning within ceilings and tried to focus on it more to figure out it's mysteries… that or they're just weird and like to stare at something.

Letting out a small yawn, Akira's eyes slowly began to droop slightly. It was still early in the day, not like a small little nap was going to harm anything. Wasn't like anyone was going to be walking through those doors anytime soon. As soon as Akira's eyes fully closed and was slowly slipping into sleep, the door suddenly opened and the luxio began to growl threatening towards an intruder.

Groaning, Akira soon sat up and glared over towards said intruder.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Case, your new roommate."

'...What?'

Beep Beep Beep

The Dextron-380 continued it's beeping as the blond haired male continued to lounge in a chair by the pool. The man was really enjoying himself, but his enjoyment had to be put to a pause as he went to answer the beeping device. There was a message for him that read:

Hatter,


Dormouse, Red Queen, and friends have arrived to the tea party, get together to have an Happy Unbirthday.
Remember what the Caterpillar said.
Also keep an eye out for Alice.

Jack just gave a small smirk as he closed the device and pushed the purple rounded sunglasses up the bridge of his nose.

'Well, well... Looks like I'll have a lot more fun here then I had expected~'

Who are these new people with these strange devices? What could these strange messages mean?
Stay tune and find out!

Wow, if that didn't sound like the anime, I don't know what is! Lol

Also, this chapter is dedicated to AceTidus15 on Gaia, the owner of Danny and another character which I'm hoping to introduce in the next chapter. Hope you had a happy birthday dude!
