Battle aboard St. Anne! Enter Team Neo!
As their Pokémon journey continues, Ash is one step closer of becoming a Pokémon Master. Last time, our heroes has defeated the Gym Leader and earned a Thunder Badge.
It is a beautiful day in the Vermilion Harbor. Brock and Misty was walking behind Ash, who was staring at his Thunder Badge in the sun ray with Pikachu on his head. July was walking on the right side of Jovan and Anna was walking on Jovan's left side as Seth and Slade was walking behind them. Dragonair slithered besides Anna.
They were all walking on the bridge. When they reach the end of the bridge, they can see a magnificent cruise.
"Would you look at that?" Jovan smiled.
Has their ship finally come in, or will our heroes be cruisin with a bruisin as a new team emerges from within the shadows?
Fifteen minutes has passed and they were all standing several feet away from the cruise.
"Wow." Ash smiled.
"Beautiful." Misty said.
"I would love to cross the ocean on that ship." Ash said.
"This kind of reminds me about Titanic." Seth said.
Jovan turns around to look at him. "It really does." Jovan said.
July took a long good look at the cruise. She knew that the ship, Titanic, was a lot bigger than the cruise right here.
"Just think of all the Pokémon we could see on the way." Brock said.
"Imagine sunbathing all day." Misty said with a dreamy look on her face. She could imagine herself in her pink bikini, sitting in a chair to enjoy the sun.
"A nice, long relaxing cruise." Misty said.
"I hate to break it to you Misty." Seth said, walking up to her. "We don't have the money to afford that."
Seth was right. A cruise like that is extremely expensive. They all turned to left and walks away.
"Reality can really bum you out." Ash said.
"Congratulations!" Two people cheered, stepping in front of them.
The boy and the girl was wearing school uniforms. The t-shirts were gray and their pants were black. The boy has brown hair and blue eyes and the girl had long blonde hair and crimson red eyes.
"All of you has just won our contest to go on a sea cruise!" The boy cheered.
"A sea cruise?" They all asked.
The girl walks up to them. "That's right." The girl said, holding up green tickets. "We have these totally cool, awesome tickets. Cool right?"
"It's totally radical." The boy said.
"These tickets are for the famous aboard the St. Anne Cruise Liner." The girl smiled.
"St. Anne?" Jovan asked. "Never heard of it."
That caught Brock and Misty's attention.
"It's the coolest ship on the sea." The female explains. "Everyone is going to be there since it is the coolest party."
"It's totally radical." The boy said.
"Plus, it's for Pokémon Trainers only." The girl said. "So step this way. All the radical Pokémon Trainers are going to be there."
"So here you go." The boy said, handing all the tickets to Ash and Jovan.
"CowaBunga!" The boy howled.
"Do we know anyone that says "CowaBunga"? Jovan asked, looking at Anna.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fans." Slade said.
Brock and Misty looks at each other confused. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fans? Never hearing about the famous St. Anne?
"Thanks."Ash said. "Let's go."
"Just follow the signs to find the St. Anne." The boy said.
"This is so cool." Ash said.
"We'll meet you guys later when find the ship." Misty said to Anna.
"Later." Anna said as Ash, Brock, Pikachu and Misty left to find the ship.
"But we can't afford these." Seth said.
"Hold on dude." The girl said. "There's one thing you don't understand. These tickets are totally free."
"They're free?" Anna smiled.
"That's right." The girl chuckled.
"But why are you giving them to us since they're free?" Jovan asked. "Can't you give them to anyone else?"
"You see, we're trying to win a contest." The girl explains. "The contest is about not doing any homework for a year and hosting a concert at the same time."
"She's right." The boy said. "The concert we're hosting is for a fundraiser. We give the money to the fundraiser to people with disabilities who fought in the war."
"So, can you take our tickets?" The girl asked.
"If you want to win that contest, fine by us." Jovan smiled.
"Thank you so much." The girl thanked him.
"Cowabunga!" The boy cheered.
They both turn around and ran out of sight. Before they can catch up, July slaps Seth and Slade behind their heads.
"Ow!" Seth yelled painfully, rubbing the spot that July hit.
"What was that for?!" Slade asked angrily, looking at July.
"You've got to be more careful." July hissed. "Remember. We've been here for a while and we're not from this world."
"Sorry about that." Slade said.
"Let's find go find Ash and the others." Anna said.
Fifteen minutes has passed since the started walking.
"I think that's the one right there." Anna heard Misty's voice not far from where they are. Ash and Brock turns around to the right and notices the ship.
"Hey you guys."Jovan greeted Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu.
"Hey Jovan." Brock said.
"Check out the ship." Jovan said, looking at the ship.
"It's huge." Brock said.
"And worthy to go out in the sea." Jovan added.
"Nair." Dragonair nodded.
A few feet behind them, Sam and Libby was kneeling down behind the bush.
"I can't believe they actually fell for it." Libby snickered.
"Let's win this contest." Sam said to Libby with a smile on his face.
"Gr." Libby growled.
Libby took out her own custom made mallet and hits Sam hard on the head.
"Ow!" Sam grunted.
"Enough with that." Libby said.
Libby grabs him by the collar with her right hand and turns around to start walking.
"OwaBunga..."Sam groans as he being drag away.
Libby found the old lighthouse where they're suppose to meet the others. They quickly got out of their disguises and went inside the lighthouse. Libby and Sam enters the room. There was a giant video screen on the wall above the control panel. Jessie and James stood behind Meowth and Justin stood behind them. Justin turns around and smiled as he see Libby and Sam.
"Anything?" Sam asked as Justin turn back to giant video screen.
"We got a call from our bosses." Meowth said. Meowth pushed a red button on the panel and the video screen lit up.
The video screen showed a man. He was wearing an orange business suit with his legs cross. Sitting next to him was the same man who followed Jovan.
"Greetings, sir." Meowth said, nervously.
"So the team is all there." The first man said.
"Sir." They all said.
A Pokémon walks over to the first man. It was a feline Pokémon. It's fur is pale tan with the exception of its black-rimmed ears. It has a short muzzle with a small, black nose, red eyes with slit pupils, rounded ears, a pair of pointed teeth in its upper jaw, and three whiskers on either sides of its face. In the center of its forehead was a red jewel. It has long legs and three-toed paws with retractible claws.
"Ran." The feline Pokémon purred, rubbing its head at his master's left hand.
"Eowth!" Meowth shouted with a shocked look on his face. "What's with the Persian?!
The bose rubs Persian's head
"Hey boss, what about me? Ain't I'm your favorite?" Meowth asked nervously.
"We are totally disgusted of all of you failing." The second man said.
"While we expected total perfection from you." The boss said. "Purfection just like this beautiful Persian."
"But..." Meowth said, with a sad look on his face.
"If you want to me make us happy, you can make sure our latest plan succeed." The boss said.
"Meowth!" Meowth said happily.
"Step forward, Sam and Libby." The second man said.
Jessie and James steps aside as Libby and Sam step forwards.
"Have you handed out all the tickets to the St. Anne cruise?" The second man asked.
"We did as you told us to." Libby said. "The trainers were delighted to take them."
"Do you think it's a wise idea to hand all those tickets for free?" Sam asked.
"Maybe we-" Jessie saying but the second man interrupted.
"The situation is not that difficult." The second man said.
"It will be a small price for what me and my friend will get in return." The boss said.
"Our men have secretly board on the St. Anne Cruise undetected." The second man said.
"When we give the signal, they will take all the Pokémon from the trainers we trick on the ship." The boss said.
"That's our boss for you." Meowth smiled. "A real genius."
"This time, failure will be out of the question." The first man smirked.
"And once we do give the signal, Team Neo will finally make its appearance at last." The second man said.
"Aye aye." Jessie and James said together.
"We can do this." Meowth said.
"What an awesome ship." Ash said in awe.
They all found the steps that led up to the deck.
"I would love to travel the whole world in this." Misty smiled.
A man was waiting as they reach the top of the stairs. Ash puts his right hand inside his shirt and pulled out the tickets, showing them to the man.
"Welcome aboard the St. Anne." He greeted as he bowed. "This way."
They all turn left and steps foot aboard the ship. As soon as they went inside the building, they gasps.
"Wow." Ash smiled. "Would you look at this?"
The room was huge and packed with a lot of people. There was two white marble staircases that leads up to the second floor. The food buffets was on either side of the room and there were tables of food in different places of the room. Jovan notices there was different concession stands from where he can see.
Above the room was a glassed window and hanging on the ceiling were diamond chandeliers. They all left their stuff at a table they before walk through the crowd.
"They're so cute." Misty said, spotting a Horsea t-shirt.
"It's like a giant Pokémon Convention." Ash said.
"That's because they're so many trainers." July said.
Ash couldn't help but stop when he turn his head to the left. There were two boys with their own Charmander. The first boy was wearing a yellow t-shirt, blue jeans and blue sneakers.
"Check out the smooth skin on my Charmander." The first boy said. "That shows how healthy it is."
The second boy was wearing a blue polo shirt, brown shorts and white sandals. "Check out the flame on my Charmander." The second boy said, showing his Charmander's tail.
A third boy walk over and joins the other two. "Check out how hard my Squirtle's shell is." The third boy said. "Pretty hard, huh?"
"My Charmander and Squirtle are better than those three." Ash growled.
Jovan turns to his left to look at Brock. "We're going outside on the deck." Jovan said. "We'll see you in a few minutes."
"Ok." Brock said.
Jovan, July, Anna, Seth, Slade and Dragonair walks outside on the deck. "So what do you guys want to do first?" Slade asked.
"Want to see what's going on over there?" July asked, pointing at a crowd.
There was a crowd that a few feet to the right.
"Let's check it out." Jovan said, walking up towards the crowd.
After getting into the front, they notices two trainers were about to have a Pokémon battle.
The boy was wearing a yellow polo t-shirt, brown shorts and black sandals. He had short blonde hair and green eyes. Getting ready to battle was the boy's Rattata.
A couple feet in front of them was a young muscular man with short brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a white tank top and long black jeans. In front of him was Pokémon.
It was a humanoid Pokémon covered in gray skin. It has a vaguely reptilian face with a short snout, narrow red eyes, and four pointed teeth visible inside its mouth. Two of these teeth are in the upper jaw, while two are in the lower jaw. On top of its head are three, light brown ridges. Its arms are muscular with dark red stripes on them. It possesses large pectoral muscles that protude slightly over its belt.
"Machoke!" Machoke shouted, flexing its muscles.
"Isn't that the man who won in the Karate Tournament?" July asked Jovan.
"Yeah." Jovan said, looking at his sister.
"Rattata, Tackle!" The boy commanded.
"Tata!" Rattata shouted.
"Machoke, use Mega Punch!" The man ordered.
"Choke!" Machoke yelled.
Machoke's right fist glows white and punches Rattata, sending it to the floor.
"Rattata!" The boy yelled, worried.
"Young boy, keep in mind that you can tag your Pokémon out and fight." The man said.
"Right." The boy nodded.
The boy transforms into a light purple Rattata and tag his Rattata out. The light purple Rattata was about to tackle Machoke, but Machoke tags out and the young muscular man steps into the ring and transforms into a dark gray skin Machoke. The lines on his arms are dark red.
The dark gray skin Machoke jumps into the air and kicks the light purple Rattata.
"Tata!" The light purple Rattata grunted before fainting.
The crowd cheered as the two Pokémon transforms back into their human form.
"Good match." The muscular man said, helping the boy onto his feet.
"Thanks." The boy thanked him. The boy turns around and left with his Rattata.
"Anyone care to face me and my Machoke in a tag battle?" The young man asks the crowd.
Jovan turns his head to the right to look at Dragonair. "What do you think, Dragonair?" Jovan asked. "Want to battle them?"
"Nair." Dragonair nodded as they both step into the ring.
"We like to battle you." Jovan said.
"Hm?" The young man asked, turning around to look at Jovan and Dragonair. "You look familiar..."
"My sister and I were there in the finals, cheering you on from the front row seat." Jovan explains.
"I see." The young man said. "How about a tag battle against me and Machoke?"
"A Tag Battle?" Jovan asked, confused.
"That is correct." The young man said. "We let our Pokémon battle like normal. During a battle, our Pokémon can tag us and we transformed into Pokémon and fight. It'll be like Tekken Tag Tournament 2."
"Alright then." Jovan said.
July taps on Slade's right shoulder and her turns around. "Anna, Seth and I are going inside for a few minutes." July said.
"Ok." Slade said as July, Seth and Anna passes through the crowd.
"Machoke, Karate Chop!" The young man ordered.
Machoke tries to chop Dragonair with its hands repeatedly, but Dragonair dodges each one.
"Bubblebeam!" Jovan ordered.
Bubbles appeared in front of Dragonair's face and was fired at Machoke.
"Choke!" Machoke grunted.
Back inside the room, Jessie, James, Libby and Sam came out of the kitchen with drinks on a tray in their right hand.
"This place is packed." James said in awe.
"And packed with so many Pokémon to steal." Jessie chuckled.
"Soon all these Pokémon will be ours." Sam said, imagining laying in a huge Pokémon pile.
"Shut up." Jessie growled, turning head to the right to look at Sam. "They're for our bosses, not for us."
"Aw..." James groaned.
"Body Slam!" The young man commanded.
Machoke charges at Dragonair and slams its body into her, making a direct hit.
"Gonair!" Dragonair grunted.
"Dragonair, Bubblebeam!" Jovan ordered.
Dragonair quickly fired another row of bubbles and fired it at Machoke, but Machoke dodges the attack and tries to slam its body into Dragonair again.
"Wrap!" Jovan commanded.
Dragonair quickly caught Machoke by wrapping her body around Machoke, squeezing it tightly before letting it go. Machoke landed on its back and quickly tags its trainer before fainting.
The young man transforms into the dark gray skin Machoke. Dragonair taps Jovan's hand and Jovan turns into the black Dragonite. The dark gray Machoke charges at Jovan and slams his body into Jovan. But Jovan dodges to the left and hits the dark grak Machoke with his tail.
"Choke!" The dark gray Machoke shouted.
"Good match." Slade said.
Jovan jumps into the air and slams the dark gray Machoke on its back as the dark gray Machoke landed on the floor before fainting.
"Awsome." Slade smiled.
Jovan and the dark gray Machoke transforms back into their human form. The young man helps his Machoke on to its feet before looking at Jovan and Dragonair.
"Good match." The young man said before turning around and walking away with his Machoke.
"Wait." Jovan called.
The young man turns his head over his right shoulder.
"What's your name?" Jovan asked.
"Call me Jack." Jack said.
James and Sam were finished serving drinks and decided to take a look around.
"Over here, you two." A voice said.
James turns his head to the right and sees a store clerk. He was wearing a white t-shirt, brown jeans and a white headband. The man has black eyes and black hair.
"I want you to have a look at these two Pokémon." The man said.
James and Sam knelt and took a look at the water tank. It contains two medium sized fish Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large vacant eyes, and pink lips. Its pectoral and tail fins are white, but it has a stiff three-peaked fin on its back and stomach are both yellow. It also has long barbels.
"What are these two?" Sam asked.
"The two kings of Karp." The man said. "The two Magikarp."
James and Sam stood up and looks at the man. "The both of us aren't going to eat it, right?" Sam asked nervously.
"Heh heh." The man said.
He picks up the first Magikarp and handed it to James. "See how healthy it is?" The man asked, smiling, before picking up the second one and hands it to Sam.
"It surely is lively." James said, trying to hold the first Magikarp.
"Just between us three, these Magikarp are like a Pokémon gold mine." The man said in a low voice.
"But how are they a gold mine?" Sam asked.
"A Magikarp lays one thousand eggs at a time." The man said. "Those baby each lay another one thousand more. That makes it one million. And those one million lays another one thousand. Since you two have these two Magikarp, that will you give you two billion!"
"Two billion..." Sam smiled with drool coming out of his mouth.
"You could sell these Magikarp for two hundred dollars." The man said. "In three generations, you'll have tons of money, billions."
"Billions?!" James asked shocked.
James can imagine himself sitting on his throne, petting his Persian in a room full of money as Sam was imagining the same thing.
"With all that money, you can go on a Pokémon Shopping Spree." The man said.
"Rich." James said with a smile on his face.
"I normally charge hundred dollars each." The man said. "But for you two I will throw in a child care set and an education set for six hundred dollars. Do we have a deal?"
"We'll take it!" James cheered.
"I can tell, haha." The man chuckled. "The two of you will be rich men. Very rich men."
A couple concession stands away, July, Seth and Anna were walking.
"Are you three Pokémon Trainers?" A old voice asked.
July turns her head to the right and sees an old man and an old woman. The two of them were behind a white table. The old man was wearing blue overalls, brown boots, white glove, a red shirt underneath and a red hat with the letter "M".He has brown hair, a black mustache and blue eyes.
The old lady was wearing, a pink t-shirt, long white pants and white sandals. She has long brown hair and black eyes.
"Yes we are." July said, coming to the table.
"Who are you two?" Anna asked.
"My name is MJ." The old man introduces himself. "And this is my wife, Benny."
"Nice to meet you." Benny said, shaking July's hand.
"Same here." July said. "These are my friends, Seth and Anna."
"What lovely names." Benny smiled.
"Would you want to have the Pokémon we have?" MJ asked.
"We're looking for three trainers who can take care of them." Benny says.
"How come?" Seth asked.
"These three Pokémon has a tough time with trainers who uses them for bad deed." Benny answered.
"Do you want them?" MJ asked.
"Of course." July said.
"Excellent." Benny smiled.
She reaches down under the table to get her purse. Benny took out three Pokéballs and sets them on the table in front of them.
"The one on the right contains a Doduo." MJ said. "The middle one contains a Seel and the left one contains a Scyther."
"I'll choose Scyther" July said, picking up the middle Pokéball. "I'll call it Slyther.
"I''ll have Doduo." Seth said, picking up the right Pokéball.
"That leaves me with Seel." Anna said, picking up the left Pokéball.
Anna and July turns around and opens the Pokéballs and two Pokémon appeared along with Seel.
The first Pokémon was bipedal, insectoid creature. It is primarily green with cream accents between its three body segments. On the back of its somewhat reptilian head are three points, and it has narrow eyes. Its forearms consist of large white scythes. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back and has a large abdomen.
"Scyther!" She shouted.
The second Pokémon is a two headed, bipedal avian Pokémon. Each head has a long sharp beak and two beady black eyes with no discernible sclerae. It has a soft but bristly, down-like covering of brown feathers on its body and both heads. It has black flexible necks, two feet, each with four digits ending in a sharp claw.
"Duo." Doduo said.
"It's alright." MJ said. "They're nice, friendly trainers."
Seel looks up at Anna.
"Duo!" Doduo chirps happily.
"Scyth." Slyther growled at July.
Slyther turns around to not look at her new trainer.
"We'll have a great time, Slyther." July said, putting her right hand on Slyther's wing.
Slyther didn't like it one bit so she quickly spins around and almost cuts July's hand, but July quickly duck.
"What was that for?!" July asked angrily.
"Was it always like this?" Anna asked, looking over her right shoulder at Benny.
"I'm not sure." Benny said. "It was hurt and abandon in a forest when we found her."
"Don't worry." MJ said. "Scyther will trust you in time, July."
July stares at Slyther. She hopes Slyther can trust her soon.
"We should be heading back." Seth said, turning around and looking at MJ and Benny.
"Alright then." Benny smiled.
"It's nice to meet you." MJ said, shaking Seth's hands.
After saying goodbye to MJ and Benny, July, Anna and Seth went back to their table and sees the others getting back to the table at the same time.
"The food looks delicious." Jovan said, licking his lips. "Let's eat!"
Everyone started eating fast. Ash was taking a bite out of two turkey legs in both of his hands. Pikachu was enjoying his Pokéchow very much as Dragonair. Misty stuffs her face with vanilla cake, enjoying the flavor of the cake as Brock was eating a lettuce tomato ham sandwich.
Jovan had a huge amount of jasmine rice and barbecue ribs on his plate with fruit punch. July was eating some French Onion Soup while Anna and Seth was having two hot dogs with ketchup. Slade had finished his clam chowder and started eating his clam cake with some crab legs.
"I see that you are all enjoying the food." Jack said, approaching the table with two new people. The man has blue glasses that covers his eyes, wearing a black tuxedo with a red bow tie, blue pants and black shoes. He has a brown cane with him. The man had brown hair and a brown mustache and the color of his eyes are black.
Jovan notices the woman next to the gentleman and thought she was a beautiful actress. She was wearing a long red dress with a blonde fur scarf around her arms. She has long brown hair in a ponytail, blue eyes and rosy red lips while wearing two red earrings.
"We are, Jack." Jovan said.
"You know him?" Ash asked, looking at Jovan.
"Yep." Jovan said. "We had a battle outside on the deck and I won."
"That was just lucky." Jack said.
"That Butterfree of your's is really extraordinary." Gentleman said.
"It's incredible." The woman said.
Brock stops eating as he stares at her. "She's beautiful." Brock said, his face turning red and dropping his sandwich.
"Hello in there." Misty said, trying to get his attention. She waves in front of Brock and nothing happened.
"Beautiful." Brock repeated again.
"Here we go again." Misty sigh as she shrugs her shoulders.
"I've put a lot of work into raising it." Ash said, looking up at Gentleman.
"What did you think about my Raticate?" Gentleman asked.
"Its look great." Ash answered. "It put up a tough fight."
"In that case, I'll be direct." Gentleman said. "How about we make a trade?"
"Trade Pokémon?" Ash asked confused.
"When two people find that they like the other's Pokémon, they trade." Gentleman said. "It's quite a common practice everywhere."
"Everywhere?" Ash asked confused.
Gentleman places his left hand on Ash's shoulder. "You see, friends trade with their other friends and friendships grows deeper and spread wider and wider." Gentleman said. "Making new friends is the best to Pokémon around for. That's how Pokémon friendships spread around the world."
"Wow." Ash said.
"Friendship is wonderful,isn't?" The woman asked.
"Yeah, yeah." Brock nodded quickly. "How about you and me start a friendship right now?"
Ash walks up to Brock."Should I trade, Brock?" Ash asked.
"You gotta trade." Brock answered. "Everyone should trade. Let's start trading."
"Ok." Ash said, unsure about this decision.
They were all inside another room, away from the crowd. There was a blue machine against the wall. There was two pipes on either side of the video screen.
Ash and Gentleman places their Pokéball onto the machine.
"Here we go." Gentleman said to Ash.
Ash nodded his head and Gentleman walks up to the machine and presses a button. Both Pokéballs went into the pipe and everyone can see the Pokémon passes by and both Pokéballs came out.
Ash and Gentleman picks up their new Pokémon and looks at each other.
"That's all there is to it." Gentleman said. "Raticate is your new Pokémon."
Ash looks at the Pokéball in his hand.
Jovan and Anna left party to go outside and get some fresh air.
"I've never thought you would actually meet Jack." Anna said, turning her head to the left to look at Jovan.
"Same here." Jovan said.
Jovan and Anna walks over to the railing.
"Do you miss back home?" Jovan asked.
"Yeah."Anna answered. "If it wasn't for that shaman wolf..."Anna said.
"I know."Jovan said with a serious look on his face.
"Let's head back inside." Anna suggested.
Jovan and Anna turns around and was about to walk back inside until two kids cut them off. Anna fell on top on Jovan's stomach as Jovan hits the floor with his back.
"At least no one saw this." Jovan sighed with relief.
Seth and Jack walks out on the deck and notices Anna sitting on Jovan's stomach as Jovan was laying on the floor. Anna looks over her right shoulder and gasps.
"We didn't mean to interrupt." Seth said as they both turn around and walks back inside.
"It's not what it looks like!" Jovan yelled, his face turning red.
"You idiots!" Libby bellowed. "You were both trick!"
"You are such a dope!" Justin growled angrily.
Jessie, Libby and Meowth cornered James and Sam in a corner where nobody else can see them.
"But you don't understand." James said as he and Sam took out two golden Pokéballs. "Magikarp is a gold mine. Even its Pokéball is solid gold."
"It's just gold plated!" Meowth yelled angrily, scratching both spheres.
Sam notices the regular red and white where Meowth scratches them.
"Magikarp can't do anything but flop around." Libby said, placing her hands on her hips.
"How can you two possibly expect to sell it?" Jessie asked.
"We've been trick."James whined.
"So how did you guys get the money to pay for all of it?" Libby asked.
"Our salary couldn't cover it so..." Sam said.
"So what?" Libby asked.
"So we use the advance on your salaries." Sam smiled.
Jessie started hitting the both of them. "Give back those Magikarp and get our money back now!" Jessie shouted, angrily.
"Yow!" James and Sam shouted out in pain.
Jovan, July, Anna, Seth, Slade, Jack and Dragonair were walking through the crowd and notices a stage. The stage had some instruments. There was a few guitars and a two sets of drums in the back.
"Are they having a band here?" Jovan asked.
"That's right Jovan." A voice said.
July turns head to the left and notices someone coming down from the stairs.
"Hey, Storm." July smiled, hugging Storm.
"It's so good to see you guys again." Storm smiled, letting go of July.
"What are you doing here?" Slade asked.
"The ship's captain invited me and my band members to perform a concert here." Storm explains.
"So who's the members of your band?" Jovan asked.
"That'll be us." A voice said.
Three teenagers were coming from the left staircase. The three of them walks up behind Storm. The first teenager was a boy. He was wearing a blue t-shirt, brown shorts and white sandals. He has spikey green hair and jade eyes.
"It's good to see you again, Kevin Noon." Jovan said.
Kevin Noon is Jovan's friend before he moved to California. He has an amazing ability to play on any instrument he picks up.
"You too, Jovan." Kevin said.
The second teenager was a girl. The girl had long black hair and red eyes. She was wearing a black tank top, black shorts and black sneakers.
"What's up, Amy?" Seth asked.
Amy Noon is the sister of Kevin. Amy met Seth and Anna with Kevin at a live band concert at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Amy and Storm both attended to the Summer of the Band during the summer.
"Nothing much, Seth." Amy said.
The third teenager was a boy. The boy was wearing a gray t-shirt, gray shorts and white sandals. He has short spikey hair and black eyes.
"It's been a long time, Will." Slade said.
Will Myer is a mysterious person who loves music. Slade met Will in the forest two years ago on a camping trip when he got separated by his friends. Will saved him from a pack of wolves with a Siberian Husky .
"Yes it has." Will said.
"I have an idea." Storm said.
"Let's hear it." Amy said.
"How about Anna and Jovan sing Good Time by Owl City?" Storm suggested.
Amy, Seth, Slade, and Will nodded.
"That's a great idea." July smiled. "They make a great duo."
Kevin got onto the stage and took his seat behind the drums with drumsticks in hand. Will got on the stage as well and picks up his guitar and Amy went over to the piano while Storm picks up her guitar and Jovan and Anna stood behind the microphones.
The crowd turns around and waited patiently as Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu came back inside.
"Give it up for Storm, her band members and two special guests, Jovan and Anna!" Seth announced as he got off the stage.
The audience claps for them and the band started playing as Anna and Jovan started singing.
Anna: Hmmmmm
Woah oh- oh-oh
Jovan: It's always a good time
Anna: It's always a good time
Jovan: Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight,
Cuz it's always a good time.
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care,
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere.
I'm in if you're down tonight,
Cuz it's always a good time
Anna: Good morning and good night,
I wake up at twilight
Jovan and Anna: It's gonna be alright
Jovan: We don't even if have to try,
It's always a good time
Anna: Whoo!

Checked out of my room hit the ATM.

Cuz it's always a good time.
Jovan: Good morning and good night,
Anna: I wake up at twilight.
Jovan and Anna: It's gonna be alright

Woah- oh- oh-oh Woah- oh- oh- oh

Everyone started clapping and cheering for them. Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Dragonair never thought they can sing. Jovan, Anna, Storm, Amy, Will and Kevin got off the stage as July hugs her brother.
Somewhere in an unknown location, video footage of the St. Anne appeared on the screen as the two bosses of Team Rocket and Team Neo were watching them.
"Heh heh." The first man chuckled. "It won't be long now."
"RA!" Persian roared at the screen.
All of a sudden, the doors closed on themselves, trapping everyone in the room.
"What is going on?!" Storm asked, shocked.
Team Rocket and Team Neo grunts appeared as they got rid of their disguises. They were all carrying some sort of vacuum backpack. Everyone didn't even notice a beat up James and Sam walking past them.
"We want our money backk..." James moaned.
Libby and Jessie grabs them by the collar and quickly drags them in a storage area.
"Are you crazy?!" Jessie growled angrily.
"But-" Same was about to say, but Libby interrupted.
"We have work to do!" Libby shouted.
The lights in the room went off. A spotlight turned on and Jessie and James appeared in their uniforms and standing on a tall table with the same vacuum backpacks. James was still upset as he and Jessie recite their motto.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all people within our nation."
"To denounce the evil of truth and love."
"To extend our reach from the stars above."
"Jessie."
"James."
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth dat's right."
The lights turned back on.
"Team Rocket and Team Neo will now take possession of your Pokémon!" Jessie announced to the crowd.
"Take our Pokémon?"
"They can't do that!"
The grunts of both teams activated both their vacuum backpacks and begin sucking everyone's Pokéballs.
"Give me your Pokémon." A female Team Neo Grunt said as she walks up to Anna and her friends.
"No way." Anna growled.
"Don't make me take them." A male grunt said, walking up to them.
"Dragonair!" Jovan yelled.
A light blue ball formed in front of Dragonair's crystal. Light blue beams are fired at the Team Neo grunt freezing him instantly.
Kanto Trainer Battle(Burning Battlefield)
"We're not getting rob that easy." Jovan said. "Let's make it a battle!"
Everyone called out their Pokémon, including Jovan, July and their friends. Jovan quickly turns into the black Dragonite and Anna transforms into Ninetails.
"Look at July and Seth!" Slade gasps.
July's body began to glow. A small red gem appeared on her forehead. Her hands and feet are webbed. Even her body was adapted a hydroynamic shape and her mouth became a cream colored beak. Her long brown hair disappeared and her blue eyes became black, while her skin was a light blue.
July gasps as she look at her body. "Duck?!"
Seth's body began to change as well. A large venomous horn sticks out on his forehead. His eyes became small and narrow with large spiny ears along with fur-like tufts on his cheeks. He has gray chest and belly plates with three claws in each hand. Rounded spines appeared on his elbow and grew a large tail with a single nail on his feet. Spines grew out of his back and became a long ridge. The skin was a darker purple.
"King!" Seth bellowed.
Slade notices other trainers transforming into Pokémon with a different color.
"Suck them all up!" Jessie yelled. "Suck them all up!"
"Don't leave a single one!" Justin cheered.
An orange ball appears in front of Jovan's mouth and was fired at a few Team Neo Grunts. Dragonair teams up with a five other Dragonair and fired an Ice Beam at a bunch of Team Rocket Grunts.
Seth jumps into the fray, charges at two Team Neo grunts with his horn.
"Yow!" The two grunts yelled.
July eye's glow light blue and controlling a male Team Neo Grunt with her mind. She moved her head forward and the grunt was sent flying in the air and crashes into his team.
"Bulba!" Bulb shouted, joining ten other Bulbasaur with Ash's Bulbasaur as they attack them with their dark green vines.
"Jovan!" Slade shouted.
Jovan notices a few grunts surrounding him. Jack landed in the circle and both have their backs against each other. He duck just in time as Jovan freezes the grunts in a circle.
"Ha!" Jack yelled as he runs, jumps into the air, brought his left knee up to his right shoulder and extended his foot into the stomach of a grunt.
Anna runs after a Team Rocket grunt, disappearing and reappearing as she runs.
Jovan's Charmander fired a flamethrower with another group of Charmander at a few grunts.
Music Stops
Kanto Gym (Intense Action)
"Pidgeotto, go!" Ash yelled, throwing a Pokéball into the air and Ash's Pidgeotto appeared, joining Jovan's Pidgeotto along with other Pidgeotto.
"Group Gust!" Ash ordered.
The Pidgeotto group flew in the center of the room and starts flapping their wings at high speed to create a tornado.
"Aahhh!" A few grunts yelled as they were blown off the ship.
"Pikachu, all together, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.
"Pikachu!" They all shouted.
All the Pikachu releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from their body at the last remaining grunts.
"AAAHHH!" The last few grunts yelled as they were sent flying into the air off the ship.
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
"We should be all proud of our Pokémon." Jovan said as he transforms back into his human form. "And we've taught Team Rocket and Team Neo a lesson they'll never forget."
Jessie, Meowth, Libby and Justin slowly came out of the room as James and Sam slowly crawls besides Jessie and Libby.
"I can't wait to get off of this lousy bucket." Jessie groaned.
A wave from the left rocks the boat to the right outside.
"Yeeow!" Team Rocket yelled.
James and Sam's "Golden" Pokéball began to roll away down the hall.
"Wait!" James said as he went after it. "There's go our salary advance!"
"There goes our money too!" Jessie shouted, going after James and Sam with Libby, Justin and Meowth running right behind her.
A giant wave rocks the ship to the left.
"Aahh!" Everyone screamed.
"What was that about?" Jack wondered.
Misty ran to the closest window and gasps at what she saw. It was a huge thunderstorm.
"Oh no!" Misty gasps, scared. "There's a huge thunderstorm out there!"
Brock walks up to her. "It'll be tough to get back with waves like this."
"What?!" Misty shouted, turning her head to the right to look at Brock.
Jovan, July, Seth, Anna, Slade, Dragonair and Jack heads back to their friends.
"We need to get out of here now."Jovan said.
"But how?" Amy asked.
"Get on a lifeboat before it's too late." Kevin said.
"Right." Jovan said.
"Let's find the captain." July suggested.
They made their way down a few floors until they found the captain of the ship, blocking the passenger's way to get to the lifeboats.
"Now calm down." The captain said, trying to calm everyone. "The high seas just push us a little off course."
"A little off course?" A passenger repeated.
"There's nothing to worry about." The captain said. "We're heading for port now and besides, the ship is unsinkable. There's absolutely no need for an alarm."
"I disagree." Jovan said, getting everyone's attention. "Every ship is sinkable no matter what. Titanic even sunk to the bottom of the ocean and that is a true story after watching the movie."
"It's just a little storm." The captain said.
"It is not a little storm!" Jovan growled, passing the captain as he looks at everyone.
Another wave rocks the boat, almost getting the ship to turn over. Everyone notices that the captain is missing.
"Where's the captain?" Anna asked.
"There!" July pointed behind Jovan.
Jovan turns around and sees the captain in a huge red lifeboat.
"Now there's no reason to panic." The captain called out to them. "I just thought I test one of the lifeboats."
Everyone sweatdrop. July notices everyone started running towards the lifeboat.
"Has anyone seen Jovan?" Storm asked.
"There he is." Slade said.
Jovan was laying down on his back with his arms above his head and his spread. Slade walks over to him and knelt down.
"Are you alright, Jovan?" Slade asked.
"Yes, I love Anna." Jovan said, dazed.
Anna's face blushed deeply. July, Kevin and Seth were rolling on the floor laughing as Slade helps Jovan up to his feet.
"Oh my goodnes!" July laughs.
"What happened?" Jovan asked, regaining his conscious.
"Nothing." Seth chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye they got up.
Jovan turns around to look at the lifeboat and notices Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Brock were not among the crowd.
"Ash and the others are not in that crowd." Jovan said.
"We can't leave without them." Slade said.
Anna looks at Kevin, Amy, Will and Storm. "Try to save us some room." Anna told Storm. "If we're not back..."
"Be careful." Storm nodded as she hug her friend.
"There goes our next paycheck!" James shouted, who was still after the Pokéball with his team.
They all ran inside the kitchen. Meowth jumps onto the counter and continues to keep up with Jessie who was in front of him.
"Who cares about your paycheck?!" Libby shouted. "What about ours?!"
"We can't stay here any longer!" Justin yelled. "The ship is about to go under!"
Outside of the ship, the passengers and the captain watches as a giant wave pushes the St. Anne into the water.
Jovan, July, Seth, Anna, Slade and Dragonair continues running.
"They got to be around here somewhere!" Jovan called over his shoulder.
Before anyone can respond, the force of the wave threw them all into a room.
"Aaah!" They all yelled as they were thrown into the room and hits the wall hard, making them go unconscious.
Everyone watches the great ship rolling into the waves of the ocean.
"May I have your attention?" The captain asked, getting everyone's attention as he stood in the lifeboat. "Anyone who didn't leave the ship safely, say "Aye!"". Good job, everyone good job."
Not everyone captain. As the St. Anne heads to the bottom of the sea, our heroes are trapped inside as so as Team Rocket. Could this be the end? How will they escape this watery faith? I don't know but I have a terrible sinking feeling!

Were any of you surprised that Storm met up with them aboard the St. Anne? Or Team Neo teaming up with Team Rocket? I bet you were. I wanted to add Dodou, Scyther and Seel because Anna, July and Seth need to have more Pokémon like Jovan. I also had to give July a Pokémon to transform during the battle along with Seth.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I encourage all Pokémon fanatics to review!
