In the middle of the sea, Yandel is laying on the platform with his cloak covering his head from the blazing sun. "Fucking hell." He wipes his forehead. He looks at the ball where Gyarados is held. "If I can purify her, then maybe she can take me back. But that means I have to fuck her." He groans at the thought. He's out of options and summons her. She is blankly staring at him. He plays music to activate Azure Mode. Instead, her markings turn red and she becomes Hyper Mode. "Woah!" He quickly gets her back in the ball. "Fucking beautiful. Now what?" He sighs as slumps on the floor.
From the corner of his vision, he sees a figure staring at him. Facing the direction, there's no one. He groans ever more. Thinking he's already hallucinating. He hears splashing from behind. He stands with his gun ready. Scanning around the endless blue for any sign of life. He notices a woman looking at him from the side. It's an elderly Lapras.
He holsters his weapon and waves. "So you're the one who captured the Gyarados?" She asks. He nods. She smiles and reveals herself, fully displaying her large size. "Thank you for your deed. You have brought peace to these waters." She points at life under the sea. Magikarps, Tentacools and Goldeens are swimming around happily. They pop up to gaze upon their hero.
"It's no problem. Comes with the job. Anyways, think you can give me a ride to Cinnabar? I got people waiting for me."
"That will be done. But first, they all want to reward their hero. You can choose any girl to your liking." Lapras says. The other fishes are raising their hands to be picked.
"There's always a catch." He sighs. "But I have to tell you, we humans have changed how we celebrate. And I choose you." He points at Lapras, who is surprised. The others voice their sadness and even point out she's old. Ignoring them, he plays music.
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Everyone is taken aback by the sound coming from his watch. He starts dancing the famous moves from the song. The moonwalk gets them hyped. They comment wishing they had legs to dance along. When the middle part of the song hits, he does the lean. The crowd gasps thinking he will fall. He smirks and winks at Lapras, making her blush intensely. When the beat drops, he does a handstand and does an interpretive dance with his legs. He stands and performs Michael's iconic dances with his own flair. He finishes by breakdancing and posing dramatically. The crowd cheers and applause.
"Thank you!" He bows. They throw Heart Scales around him, which he greedily pockets. He walks towards Lapras. "Now that the celebration is over, it's time to hold the end of the bargain."
"H-huh? Oh! O-Of course." She says while shaking the lewd thoughts out of her mind. He hops on her back and they make their way with others following.
Cinnabar Island
Minnie is sitting looking at the sea. Inayoi yawns as she sits next to her. "You're up early." Minnie says.
"Speak for yourself. You were the only one up and I figured you'd be out here." Inayoi rubs her eyes. "Waiting for him?"
"Yeah. The captain said he would send a search party later. But knowing him, he should be on his way."
Inayoi sighs. "I seriously don't understand why you people care about that brute so much."
"I know he can be a hardass at times. Well, all the time. But he does care. And while he may not say it, his actions do all the talking. He didn't give up his promising dancing career for no reason."
Inayoi is surprised. "He was a dancer? You could've fooled me."
Minnie giggles. "He was just tired of how the police and rangers weren't doing their job. The last straw was when an Excadrill in rut destroyed their studio trying to look for a mate. All she got was a beat down from him. People were more worried about her than the collateral damage. Since then, he took bounties that hunters deemed low priority and he quickly gained the name 'The Ruthless Hunter', because of how he would leave his bounties."
"That's terrible." Inayoi pouts.
Minnie responds with a shrug. "Criticize his methods all you want, trust me he's heard it all, but it got the job done. And people were happy that someone was taking care of their small problems that could've taken weeks to resolve."
They hear singing from a distance. They face the direction of the source to see Lapras and the sea Musus chanting, while Yandel is dancing on her back.
"Maybe I'm a different breed! Maybe I'm not listening! So blame it on my ADD, baby!" Yandel sings.
"Sail!" The others chant. Inayoi's jaw hangs open in disbelief.
Minnie closes her mouth. "Told you."
They arrive at the shore. He hops off, landing on the sand. "Thanks for the ride, Joanna."
"It is my pleasure. For as long as I have left in this world, your heroism will be sung throughout generations." She leaves while the others say their farewells as they go back to their home.
He turns to face partners. "Kept y'all waiting, huh?"
"Not at all. You came just in time for breakfast." Minnie says.
"Ah. You know I was gonna deck you for that bullshit you pulled, but a nutritional balanced breakfast will compensate." They head back to the hotel, leaving Inayoi still flabbergasted.
