Kates' P.O.V

Two hours, they passed by pretty quickly. I stood with Keith and Rythmi, Keith had Lullaby in his arms, while Buizel sat on Rythmi's shoulders, Glaceon stood by my side. We were all on the left side of the room.

Opposite us were, of course, Sven, Wendy and Jackie. Their Partner Pokemon stood by them, looking proud and strong. At the centre of the room stood Hastings and Erma. They looked at us before looking towards the door, which opened.

"Where is she? Where's the idiot?" a voice I knew all too well asked.

"You really can't say anything about calling anyone an idiot," another voice stated, it sounded cocky, arrogant and I also knew by the sound they were stuck up.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY HAYDEN?!" the first voice yelled, I turned to see a girl with brown hair up in a ponytail. Her clothes consisted of a white skirt with a blue line around the bottom. Her top was almost the same, a white short sleeved top with blue around the bottom and where the sleeves ended. Her shoes were blue and white trainers with white trainer socks. On her back was a blue and white backpack, with a white jacket sticking out of it.

"Yo May, long time no see honey," I smiled as I walked over to her, May turned to me before hugging me, she then slapped me over the head.

"What have you been doing? Have you been doing stupid stuff again? Why does Max know? I thought I told you to be careful, didn't I? Do you want to die? Are you stupid all toge-,"

"MAY!" a girl with pink hair yelled as she covered the girl's mouth, "I'm sorry about her, my name's Solidad," the girl with pink hair, Solidad, smiled as she pushed May into a green haired boy with matching eyes, making them turn red, I smirked.

Solidad wore a short black skirt with a white trench coat that was buttoned up, with a black belt around it, keeping it closed. Her shoes were boots that were black and went just below her knee, while her socks were white and went just to her knee, making them stick out of the boot.

"I'm Harley, honey bunny," a guy with purple hair exclaimed, I gulped slightly as I looked at him. He wore a costume that resembled a Cacturne, which kinda creeped me out. I saw Rythmi back away a little, as did Keith.

"I'm Drew, Drew Hayden, no need to fawn," the guy with green hair stated.

"You're who? And why would I fawn over you?" I asked as I looked at him, his eyes matched his hair, by his clothes I could tell he was rich. He wore black jeans with a black long sleeved top and a purple short sleeved jacket, his shoes were black convers.

I looked back to his face to see him in shock before he shook it off, he then muttered something along the lines of 'nothing, never mind', or something.

"I'm Kate by the way, Kate Jones, please to meet you all," I smiled as I shook Solidad, Harley and Drew's hands, "This is Rythmi-,"

"Hiya."

"Keith."

"Hey."

"Professor Hastings."

"Glad to meet you."

"Sven."

"Howdy."

"Wendy."

"Afternoon."

"Jackie."

"Hey guys."

"And Chairperson Erma."

"Hello dears."

I turned back to May and her friends only to see the doors open again, Seren and Kellyn walked through before looking at the, rather large, crowd.

"KEITH?!" they yelled in complete shock before tackling him to the ground. In the process he released Lullaby from his arms, which caused the pokemon to start crying. I smiled as I walked over to her.

"There, there, daddy's busy right now," I smiled as I cradled her.

"DADDY?!" May, Seren and Kellyn yelled as they looked at me.

"Don't ask," Keith breathed form his space on the floor, Seren and Kellyn still on him.

"His wounds aren't healed properly, get off of him before you suffocate him," I ordered as I glared at the two, who instantly jumped off.

"Guys, this is Seren and Kellyn.

"Hiya."

"Hey."

"Guys this is May, Drew, Harley and Solidad," I smiled as I introduced them.

"Hello," they chorused before turning back to me.

"So-,"

"If you start questioning again, I swear I will kill you," I glared at May, who shrunk back behind Solidad, while Harley and Drew laughed at them. Erma coughed as she cleared her throat in the room.

"Well, now that all the introductions are out of the way, why don't we get onto the reason why you're all here," Erma suggested as Hastings brought up some footage of Jackie with the first Manaphy.

"The Temple of the Sea," Jackie smiled as an image came up, Manaphy left my arms to look at the picture before pointing to it then herself, we nodded our heads.

"The Temple of the Sea will be appearing in a week's time. Though we have a slight problem, the first, Manaphy seems to be attached to her mother and father, in other words Kate and Keith. The second is that Phantom, Max and Kai, was it, will be looking for her as well to steal the Sea Crown," Hastings started as we looked at him.

"Again? Didn't Phantom learn that the first time we kick his butt?" May asked as she rested her hands on her hips before smiling at me.

"You would think so, but they're like Team Rocket," Jackie shrugged.

"Ugh, don't remind us," May and I said in unison before laughing.

"Either way, Kate, Keith, Kellyn, Seren, Rythmi and May, you six will be heading out to the Temple of the Sea when this is finished. May, will your friends be joining you?" Hastings asked, May nodded her head.

"Yes sir," she and her friends answered, Hastings nodded.

"Very well, the only thing you need to be on lookout for is Phantom, Max, Kai and Kyogre," Hastings stated as he looked at me, I shrugged my shoulders.

"Why Kyogre?" Drew asked in confusion.

"You haven't explained?" I asked as I looked at May, who shrugged.

"Thought you didn't want anyone to know," she answered.

"Almost everyone knows now," I shrugged before walking to Hastings, who stepped aside. Jackie, Sven and Wendy left the room to patrol, while Erma watched us.

"The reason Kyogre will be after us is because I'm Summerlands' Gift, in other words I have pokemon powers, but I never use them. I used to be evil, but Arceus turned me good, because of this Kyogre believes I'm an abomination and shouldn't exits. Due to this thought he's been trying to get rid of me, that's pretty much it," I explained as Manaphy jumped into Keith's arms, he gave an annoyed grunt before holding the pokemon. If he freaks at Manaphy I will kill him.

"Well, let's get you the supplies then you can head off," Hastings smiled as we walked towards the door.

"May, do any of your friends know how to drive a boat or sub?" I asked.

"Solidad does," May smiled as she pointed to Solidad who smiled, I let out a breath of relief.

We got everything ready, which didn't really take long. I packed some pyjamas, some food and some other clothes, like skirts, shirts and bikinis. We were going out into the ocean for a week, maybe over; I didn't want to be stuck in my Ranger Uniform the whole time.

I walked out of the room where the Union provided clothes and supplies for missions like this before walking towards Hastings, who was waiting outside the lab.

"Now, I have made more than enough Aqualungs for you all to use, there are extra ones as well in case anyone loses theirs, I'm looking at you May," Hastings laughed as May pulled a pouty face, "Good luck all of you, stay safe Kate," Hastings ordered as we walked to the bottom of the Union.

When we got there Keith was tackled to the ground by everyone from the Base, which shocked him, and me. Manaphy gave a confused look while I looked at the Base hug him, even Barlow was hugging him.

"We heard from the Union, we're so glad you're alive," Luana smiled as she hugged him tightly, they then allowed him to stand up.

"We also heard about the mission you were going on, we wish you luck," Barlow nodded as he looked at us; we nodded back before walking out of the Union. My sister ran over to me with a few poke balls in her hands, mom and dad ran up behind her.

"We figured you could use some back up," my mom stated as she hugged me and gave me a kiss, my dad did the same to me. They also hugged Keith and May when they saw her.

"May, May, May, we need to play when you get back," Remi smiled as she hugged May's leg.

"I would love to, but we have to go to Pueltown now to start our journey," May replied as she gave Remi a quick hug. We looked at the Union and the other Rangers before we all took off running towards Pueltown.

We stood in the boat shop waiting for the captain to prepare our boat and submarine, which was attached to the bottom of the boat.

"Alright, you're ready to set sail, who's steering?" the captain asked, we all pointed to Solidad, who took the keys from him.

"Thank you captain, I owe you one for this," I smiled as we walked out the door.

"Don't mention it, good luck," the captain called after us as we walked to the boat. Kellyn hopped on first, helping Seren and Rythmi on, Drew and Harley followed as they helped May and Solidad on. Keith then jumped on the boat while I looked back towards Pueltown, more specifically Altru Inc.

"You ok?" Keith asked as he rested his hand on my shoulder, yes I was stood near the boat.

"I'm fine, let's go," I smiled as I jumped onto the boat, with the help of Keith. Manaphy flew around us as we walked into the cabin where Solidad was.

"Everyone take a seat, this could be a bit of a rough start, I haven't drove one of these in a while," she stated as she put the keys in. We all threw our bags down to the floor before walking to the walls and sitting down them. Manaphy buried herself under Keith's shirt, he growled, I could tell he was getting pissed off.

"Ready?" Solidad asked, we nodded our heads as the boat hightailed it out of the pier at full speed.

"HOLY FUCK SOLIDAD!" Harley, Keith, Drew and Kellyn yelled, while I held a hand over my mouth, as did Rythmi, Seren and May.

"I think I need to puke," May stated, Drew handed her a puke bucket before he walked outside. Harley stood with Solidad at the wheel trying to get her to slow down. Kellyn and Seren clung to each other, while Rythmi was pushing buttons on the control panel. Keith sat next to May as she puked, making him feel sick. I gave a confused look as I walked outside.

"Solidad hasn't slowed down yet, you sure it's a good idea to be out here?" I asked as the boat jolted slightly.

"Couldn't care less," Drew stated as he held his head in his hands. I sighed as I walked over to him.

"Mind telling me what's up?" I asked.

"Yes," he answered, I glared at him.

"If it's about May, you can tell me, I know everything about her," I smiled as I looked at him; Drew gave me a doubtful look.

"Favourite flower?" he asked, was he quizzing me?

"Roses, red specifically," I answered.

"Food?" he asked.

"Anything," I answered.

"Clothes?" he asked, I gave him a crazy look.

"She wears anything, her preferred type are clothes she can move freely in, like what she wears now," I answered.

"Animal?" he asked.

"Red Panda cubs," I answered.

"Pokemon?" he asked, I sighed.

"She loves all pokemon," I stated as the boat jolted, "Woah," I muttered before the boat slowed down.

"ABOUT TIME!" I yelled.

"SORRY!" Solidad yelled back. Keith and May then exited the cabin as they walked over to us; Manaphy was probably inside giving directions.

"Ok next time, I drive," Keith growled as he leaned on the railing next to me.

"You can't drive," I stated.

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!" he yelled, "ANYTHING'S BETTER THAN HER DRIVING!" he added.

"HEY!" Solidad and Harley yelled form inside the cabin.

"Harley's driving as well, try not to offend him," May stated as she smiled innocently, I sighed as I shook my head.

"You travel with some weirdoes May," I replied as she looked at Drew, who was glaring at me, "What? May tell your boyfriend I didn't mean to insult him," I added as I watched the two of them go red.

"Aw so cute," Rythmi smiled as she looked at them.

"Smile," Seren added as she snapped a picture of all four of us, I glared at her before turning my attention back to the sun. Even if it was the middle of the day, the further from it we got, the colder it got, not to mention the darker it got.

"Well, we're coming into Hoenn territory in a few minutes, meaning the sun will be fully set. We can either go by the time we go on in the Almia Region or we can go by the time in Regions we're going to be stopping in," Solidad stated as she walked out of the cabin.

"Regions we go-,"

"Almia time," Keith and I interrupted.

"Why?" Kellyn asked as he looked at us.

"That way we know how many days we have until the Temple shows itself," I answered with a shrug before walking into the sleeping quarters below deck.

"We sleep with the same partner we do in the Ranger Bases?" Rythmi asked as we walked below, we nodded, while Drew and May gave us quizzical looks.

"What?" Keith asked.

"We're not Rangers," Drew stated.

"They mean we sleep together Drew," May stated as she dawned on the subject.

"I am not having sex with her," Drew glared at every one of us, we all face palmed, while May went bright red.

"Not in that way idiot, we mean you share a bed with her, you don't have to touch her…though, we know you want to," Rythmi and Seren stated with a wink at the two of them before we all collapsed on the bed. Keith fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, while Seren, Kellyn, Ryth and I were still awake, May and Drew headed up onto deck to speak with Solidad and Harley.

"This should be an interesting mission," Ryth stated as we looked at the stairs before our sleeping friend, I nodded my head as we did so.


Sorry it's short, there will be four to five chapters on the trip, maybe more, Phantom and the others will be seen in the next chapter, with a few attacks from Kyogre in the one after, so stay tuned folks. Also May, Drew, Harley and Solidad are a lot older in this story, around fifteen to twenty I'd say, their ages are just made up though. Anyway please REVIEW and I'll update ASAP, REVIEW :D
