Episode 27

A Binding Sea

Tom comes through the doors and returns to his seat: Okay, Sara! I'd say we're already to go.

Sara: Thanks to the first set of coordinates, we managed to find the KidsWB sign. *KidsWB sign floats on an asteroid.* We're ready for the Jump, Tom.

Tom: Then let's do this! *he hits the touchscreen buttons and the Jump gate opens and the Absolution goes through.*

Sara: We're about to arrive at our destination.

Tom: Here we go. *the Absolution comes out of Jump as the Jump gate opens then closes. The Absolution flies towards the planet and many of the shows characters watch in awe as the ship flies overhead.* Seems like we have finally arrived. Are you ready?

Announcer: As ready as ever Tom! Welcome everyone, to KidsWB. Where we'll be giving you some pretty great content.

Tom: No kidding. Let's go ahead and give them all what they want.

Announcer: You got it Tom! We're kicking things old with a classic fan favorite, Pokemon. Right here, on KidsWB.

Tom: You heard him. Let's go ahead and kick it. *he hits the touchscreen buttons*

TP1

A couple of weeks after the party ended. One person is still looking into the events that occurred. Despite many attempts, he hadn't fully found what he was looking for until a couple of days ago. He managed to make a mild discovery, but knew he needed more data. He kept hitting his keys to find what all he was looking for. The mild discovery he made was that where the energy had come from wasn't of their world or universe at all. Not to mention, he managed to find completely separate coordinates to another universe.

He was lucky enough to have found these new coordinates, as he had a small device ready with a small camera. He keyed in the coordinates before hitting one last key to input the data. "This should do it." He said to himself. "I only wish I could find the data that was missing." He said to himself.

It was right there the small device activated and a portal opened. "This is it. Has to be." He noted. He went over and picked up the camera and turned it on. "Let's see what on the other side." He said a bit deviously. He carefully put it though and it came out the other side and he saw something he didn't expect to see. "Wait! Is that Ash?" he questioned. He even saw Ash chatting with a couple of other people. "What's going on here!" he continued to wonder. He then saw something he had never seen before. "This is completely…huh?" he wondered as he heard his alarm go off. From there the tiny portal began to glitch and the portal turned off, giving off a small burst causing it to smoke; severing the camera from the rod it was connected to.

Where Ash was with his friends, they heard a clang sound. "Huh? What was that?" Ash wondered. He went over to where he saw the camera and picked it up. "I wonder how this got here?" he said to himself.

Back where this guy was, he looked back and forth between his computer and the portal. "How did this happen?" he questioned angrily. From there he went back to his computer. He saw all the data he had managed to retrieve. Analyzing it, he realized something. "Oh my. I don't have it all." He said to himself. From there he went online and did some research and he found something. "The top leading scientists and researcher-in-training, Gary Oak, are attempting to figure out what happened not long ago at the party for Ash Ketchum." He read out loud to himself but gave off a devious smile. "Seems like I got some work to do." He remarked.

(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HERO. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.

It was a few days after the contest was over that Ash and Misty were now running. They were heading to the docks of where their cruise ship was and they were running a bit behind.

"Oh, man! Come on, Mist. We're going to miss our ship." Ash warned her as they managed to get into the building to check in.

"I'm going as fast as I can. It doesn't help when you decided to go for even more food after breakfast." Misty scolded him.

"My main concern is us needing to make that cruise so we can take a vacation." Ash told her.

They managed to get up to the front desk where a woman receptionist was waiting. "Hello. Welcome to the Five Star Liner port." She said as she greeted them.

Both Ash and Misty were panting as they were completely out of breath. Pikachu let out a breath of relief as he released his grip on Ash's hat. "W-w-we're here…ta…" Ash attempted to speak but couldn't since he was out of breath.

"W-we n-need to make-ke it to the…the new S.S. Anne." Misty told her as she barely managed to control her breathing.

"Of course. I'll need your names so I can check you in." she informed them.

"A-Ash Ket-ket-tchum-m." Ash told her.

"M-M-Misty Wa-Water-f-f-flower." She added.

She typed in their names. "Do you have your tickets?" she asked them. Ash barely managed to get the tickets out as he showed them to her. "Excellent. Just take them to the cruise ship and the woman there will let you on." She informed them.

"Th-thank you…" Ash gasped. He and Misty began to run outside towards their ship. "Th-there it is." He told her as they ran.

She looked to the side and saw their friends. "S-Seems like th-they're h-here to see us off-ff." Misty told him. They saw Delia, Prof. Oak, Brock, Dawn, Kenny, Serena, Iris, Paul, Zoey, Tracey and Daisy all there to see them off.

"Pika pika pi-chu. (Best make it quick.)" Pikachu added.

"Seems like they've finally made it!" Brock exclaimed.

Ash Misty and Pikachu made it up to them. "We weren't for sure if you guys would've made it in time." Prof. Oak told them as they stopped to see them.

"I-I'd say we-we've b-barely made it-t." Ash told them as he was panting.

"I'd say you both have made it in time." Brock commented.

"I'm sur-surprised that the o-others are-aren't here." Misty noted as she panted as well.

"From my understanding, May and Drew are going through Sinnoh still. I still remember her saying that she's assisting Drew to become a Top Coordinator as well." Dawn remarked.

"Not only that, but Max and Molly have been hanging out quite a bit." Serena mentioned. "Molly's father invited Max to join him on one of the expeditions that he does." She added.

"My guess is that they're getting along incredibly well." Kenny commented.

"C-could fooled us o-on that one." Ash stated, his breath barely caught up with him. That's when they heard the horn on the ship. "Uh oh. W-We gotta go." Ash told them.

"Then get going sweetie and we hope you and Misty enjoy your vacation." Delia told him. "Just behave and treat Misty incredibly well." Delia told him.

"I w-will mom." Ash told her.

"I'll b-be sure to k-keep an eye on him." Misty jokingly added.

"Oh ha haaaaa, Mist." Ash replied as he was still trying to catch his breath, before he took her hand. From there, they went for the boat. "Let's g-get on b-before we're l-left b-behind." He told her.

"Definitely." Misty acknowledged.

"Hey Ash!" Paul exclaimed. Ash looked back at him, wondering what he wanted. "When you get back. I aim to have a rematch with you. I just hope you haven't gone soft." He told Ash with a smirk, showing he was very confident and determined.

Ash gave off a determined and confident smile as well. "Y-You bet. I won't g-go easy on y-you, th-though." Ash replied to him.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." Paul replied back.

From there Ash and Misty boarded the boat and showed the woman their tickets. She looked at them, gave a smile and nodded. "Welcome aboard the Saint Anne. We hope you enjoy your cruise." She told them.

"Thanks. Come on. Mist." He told her. Misty went with Ash and the ship began to move. From there the two of them went to the side railing and saw their friends and family waiving them farewell. "WE'LL BE S-SEEING YOU G-GUYS SOON!" Ash shouted to them as he slowly regained his breathing.

"DAISY! M-MAKE SURE TO T-TAKE CARE OF THE G-GYM AND TRACEY. P-PLEASE KEEP A-AN EYE O-ON THEM." Misty requested as she too was regaining her breathing.

"DON'T WORRY, MIST! WE'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE GREAT CARE OF THE GYM." Daisy replied.

"I'LL HELP TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS." Tracey added.

As the ship slowly went out of view, Zoey went up to Paul and he looked at her. "So. You're wanting a rematch?" She asked him.

Paul gave off a smile as he had his eyes closed, his head tilted down slightly. "Yeah, I am." He replied to her before he looked back out to the ship. "Ash has gotten much stronger ever since Sinnoh." Paul remarked. "I just hope he hasn't gotten soft all that much." He added.

"Even if he did…" Zoey started before she kissed his cheek and held onto his arm. "I can tell someone else has gotten much softer over time, and I'm glad." Zoey told him.

Paul snickered a bit. "Don't get too used to it. I'm still pretty tough." He reminded her. She giggled at that and they walked back to the others as she held onto him.

On the cruise ship, Ash and Misty were now looking for their room. Looking through the corridor, they were looking at each room number until they came up to one. The area looked pretty good. The corridor looked like it was in the mid wealth as the carpet looked much fancier than what they were used to. They looked to the door and opened it with a key handed to them. Looking inside they saw it was like the were in middle class.

They saw a fairly large bathroom and bed. A couch and two chairs in the bedroom along with a couple of windows and a mini fridge. Not to mention some Pokémon food. This was something they didn't expect.

"This looks incredible." Ash commented.

"Yeah! No kidding." Misty replied. Pikachu jumped down and scampered around the room, aiming to enjoy the time off they needed. Misty giggled at him. "Pikachu seems to be having some fun." She commented on as well.

"So far, yeah." Ash said as he smiled.

They then looked to the bed and Ash about said something until Misty took his hand. "You know I don't mind, Ash. We've been sharing the tent still. Remember?" she reminded him.

"Yeah, I know Mist. I know." He remarked bashfully.

"Let's go ahead and get settled in. I'll be right back. Gotta change real quick." She told him before she went off to the bathroom and closed the door.

"Is it just me, or does she continue to get beautiful." Ash said to himself.

"Pika pika chu pi. (Maybe it's just you.)" Pikachu said sarcastically.

"Oh ha ha." Ash said with a bit of laughter. "Now let's get things taken care of." Ash told him and he put his backpack down and took out a pair of trunks. "Gonna need this for today." Ash said to himself.

"Welcome everyone!" a voice exclaimed over the intercom. Ash looked up at it with a 'huh?' once he heard the voice. "This is your Captain speaking and me and the crew are hoping you all enjoy your time aboard the new St. Anne." He continued on. "We'll be on the seas for about a week so please. Make yourselves comfortable. Enjoy some excellent food that our amazing chefs prepare each day. Plenty of activities along with Pokémon battles and much more." He told everyone. This sparked Ash's interest as he was definitely a battler. "If there's anything anyone needs. Just let me or my crew member know and we'll do our very best. Have a pleasant voyage." He finished.

Ash looked to Pikachu. "Did you hear that Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed.

"PIKA PI. (YES I DID.)" He shouted in excitement.

"We're definitely going to have a blast." Ash stated.

"Finished." Misty called out. As and Pikachu looked and saw Misty and Ash's jaw dropped. She was in a two-piece swimsuit with a dress skirt on that was open on one side, revealing her leg and blue colored flowers on it. "How do I…huh?" she said until she saw Ash's jaw was hanging. She giggled at him and went up to him. "I take it you like this." She teased him as she went up to him and closed his jaw.

"Uuhhh…I, uuhhh…" Ash attempted to speak, but couldn't find the words.

Misty giggled before she kissed his cheek. "Go ahead and get changed. I'd like to go out on deck to get some sun." she told him.

"Oh, uh, right." He replied and went to go change.

She giggled as he went to the bathroom, and she looked at Pikachu. "He's still the same in most cases but he has changed a good bit." She remarked.

"Pika pi. (He definitely has.)" Pikachu replied.

It wasn't long until Ash was done and they grabbed some sunscreen and a couple of towels and they went on deck. They saw many people were on deck having a blast. Some people had begun to play volley ball in the pool while others were relaxing in some of the hot tubs. There was even a few people cooking and serving lunch to everyone on the deck. Not to mention that there were a few activities being done on deck.

"This looks like fun." Misty stated as she put her towel on a recliner. "I'm ready for anything." She told Ash.

"I'm ready to get some of that food." Ash stated as he set down his towel and ran over to the food.

"Oh boy." Misty remarked with a giggle. "I doubt that'll ever change, or even slightly or adjust." She commented before she sat down to relax. As she did, Ash grabbed them some food before he went back over to her. She looked at him, seeing the two plates of food. "Got us both lunch, huh?" she said to him.

"Though you might be hungry as well." He told her as he gave her a plate. They both sat on the chairs and Pikachu chowed down on some Pokémon food. "Even though I'm not used to taking a vacation. It does feel great to relax." He commented.

"We all need to recharge our batteries and reset ourselves every once in a while." Misty replied as she smiled and started to eat. She looked over and saw Ash shoveling food into his mouth. She giggled at him. 'How did I fall for such an amazing guy.' She thought to herself.

It was after lunch Ash and Misty each relaxed beside the pool until Ash spotted an ice-cream stand nearby. He looked over to Misty who was simply relaxing right next to him with her eyes closed. He smiled before getting up and going over to get some ice cream. It was a short amount of time, but a guy spotted Misty, thinking he had a chance to hit on her.

Ash had managed to get two ice cream cones and headed back over to Misty as the guy approached her. "Hey there beautiful. Is it just me, or are you like the sun, because you're ho…" "I got us two ice cream cones, Mist." Ash told her as he came up to her.

Misty opened her eyes and looked at Ash. "Thanks, Ash." She replied to him.

The guy saw them smile at each other as they began to relax some more, as they didn't pay attention to him. "Awe man!" he exclaimed as he began to walk off. "Why does this happen to me?" he asked himself as he walked off.

The two were definitely enjoying the ice cream as Ash managed to get Misty her favorite, once again. Not long after the ice cream, Ash and Misty went for a swim as Misty removed her dress skirt, revealing the bottom part of her swimsuit. Even though some of the guys stared at her, seeing how she looked; she and Ash jumped in and had a laugh before a small splash fight. The boys groaned to themselves as they didn't have a date for the cruise at all.

It wasn't long after that Ash and Misty joined a volleyball game as Pikachu relaxed on the lounge chair. During the volleyball game, Ash was on one side while Misty was on the other. Each hitting the ball, having a great time doing so. Each time one side scored a point, there were high fives all around, especially to the one who made the score. It was right there Ash had realized something and got out of the pool.

Misty looked at him. "Huh? What are you doing, Ash?" Misty questioned.

"Letting our Pokemon join the fun. Can't let them remain in their pokeballs." Ash told her.

"He's right. They deserve a great time, too." A guy that was in the pool agreed.

Everyone managed to get out of the pool, grabbed their pokeballs and threw them, releasing their Pokémon. With Misty's, she released all but one. She aimed it at the water and released her Gyarados who began to swim and remain near the boat so it could work its muscles and stretch itself to have a good time.

"We all definitely deserve this." Ash commented.

From there they all began to run about and have fun, with some rules the Pokémon needed to follow.

It was later on that night that Ash, Misty and the others returned their Pokémon, including Gyarados and they went to go change. They had changed into some formal-like clothes, both not being used to them. More Ash than Misty.

"I honestly don't see anything wrong with you having to wear those clothes." Misty commented as she applied some lipstick before putting on a light touch of blush and she had let her hair down, revealing it has gotten a tad bit longer.

"This just doesn't feel like me, Mist. I know I dressed up for a contest in Sinnoh, but that's because I agreed to try and participate." Ash told her. "I'm so not like this for when it comes to dinner." He said to himself, noting the dress up clothes his mom managed to help him pack.

Misty giggled and went over to him and kissed his cheek. "You certainly look handsome." She complimented.

Pikachu gave him a thumbs up, noting that he approved of his look consisting of a white dress up shirt, a red tie, khaki pants and black shoes. "I'll admit, I do like it, but it doesn't really feel like me." Ash admitted.

Misty giggled as she went over to him. He looked at her. "Maybe not, but you do look handsome." She told him before she kissed his cheek again and took his arm.

"Heh, heh. Thanks, Mist." Ash replied bashfully before he looked at Pikachu. "Ready buddy?" he asked his companion.

"Pika pi. (Mosty definitely.)" Pikachu told him as he jumped onto his shoulder.

From there, they headed out, ready to have fine dinner. As they walked down the hall, other people were coming out, getting all dressed up and ready for a good meal. They even saw a small family getting ready, as the kids were anxious for the food. Misty giggled at the kids and looked at Ash, wishing to have kids with him at some point. As for right now, she was loving her time with him.

It wasn't long until they entered the dining area of the ship. They saw how amazing it looked as there were chandeliers on the ceiling, a beautiful carpet with wonderful designs. As they came in, a waiter sat them down at a table and gave them their menus. They looked at the menu items and saw what they wanted.

As they were making their orders, a few girls at different tables were whispering amongst themselves as they also looked at Ash and Misty. The two of them noticed this but gave no heed to them.

"What do you think they're saying?" Misty asked him.

"I'm not for sure, but I'm not too worried about what they're saying." Ash began to reply. "But I'm glad I'm having a vacation right now." He finished. Misty giggled at him, knowing he was right.

As for the girls however, was a completely different scenario.

"Did you see that!" one girl exclaimed.

"I can't believe it! He literally has a date, and she looks like a scrawny tomboy." Another girl claimed.

"Do you think they're actually dating "dating", or just on a regular date?" another girl questioned.

"Either way. I know she doesn't deserve him." Another girl claimed.

"Best watch it." Another girl warned her. They looked at her. "From what I can tell. That's Misty Waterflower of the Cerulean gym." The girl informed them. "I heard it has a really strong reputation and that she trained her older sister, Daisy, to run the gym if she was absent from it." The girl stated.

They looked at her in disbelief then to Misty. "So then, is she a Cerulean sister?" one of the same girls questioned.

"From what I've begun to hear. They made her part of the Sensational sisters and are willing to do more around the gym now." Another girl recalled.

It wasn't long after, Ash and Misty were being served their food as well as his Pikachu. The two of them had an amazing time as they ate, chatted about how things were going and what went on in the past and they had a good laugh. It was while they were dining the Captain of the ship went onto the stage and started the mic.

"Hello! Hello. May I have everyone's attention please?" he requested. Everyone stopped eating and looked at the Captain. "Hello and welcome aboard the New Saint Anne. This beautiful ship has been cruising for the first 5 years of its first voyage. I know there are plenty of new people along with the old members who have been with us since the first voyage." He told them. "If there's one thing me and the crew hope that everyone is having, is a great time. Especially with all the events we'll have." He told everyone. "Not to mention, throughout the cruise. We'll help to take care of everyone's Pokémon, to make sure they have an amazing time as well." The Captain stated. "Not only that, but if everyone wants to. They can schedule an event in advance, or you can show up. Either way is an option on this cruise." He continued to tell them.

"With all that said, please enjoy your stay. Have some fun! Relax." He stated. "In addition, once we reach different parts of land, just depart and have a good time there as well. Just remember…" he said before he took a quick pause. "You'll have at least 2 hours to spend on land. If you're unable to get back to the ship, just get in contact with us and we'll launch one of our Pokémon seekers to come and get you." The Captain stated. "Now, have a great time and enjoy your cruise." He finished.

From there, they all had a great time as they ate. Some of the passengers that were with a large group of people had a pretty big laugh at their table. Others were chatting away, even discussing what they would do. Ash and Misty were discussing a few things as well of how they could spend their time.

It was later on that night, everyone headed back to their rooms and had went to bed. Ash and Misty had just taken their showers and were ready as well, with Pikachu already asleep at the foot of the bed. From there, Ash and Misty both hopped in as Misty cuddled into Ash as he held her close.

It was the following day that Ash was still asleep as Misty was snuggled into him. Her arm was wrapped around his body and her head on his chest, and she smiled happily while being held by him as his arm was around her back. It wasn't long after that she began to stir and wake up. Once she got up she looked at Ash who was still asleep. She smiled at him, leaned over and kissed his cheek before getting up and changing in the bathroom. Once she got out she saw that he was barely awake.

"Morning sleepy head. I hope you're ready for more fun." She told him as she went over to him.

"Yeah. Just barely." He commented as he sat up, rubbed his eyes and stretched as he yawned. "Man, I haven't slept like that in years." He recalled as he grabbed his vest and put it on, along with his shoes. "I hope they're still serving breakfast, because I'm starving." He stated. Misty giggled, knowing how Ash was. From there, Pikachu hopped on his shoulder.

"Pika pika chu pi. (I'm ready as well.)" he replied.

They headed out and went to the dining hall for some breakfast. They decided to order the same thing: pancakes with eggs and bacon with some orange juice. Pikachu was served his Pokémon food and greatly enjoyed it. Ash and Misty were chatting away as they ate and a few more people recognized Ash as they knew him as the victor from multiple other leagues.

"Huh? You're kidding?" a girl questioned the boy she was with as she looked back at Ash and Misty.

"No. No I'm not. That's Ash Ketchum, the League Victor of Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. Not to mention he won the Orange League as well." He informed her.

"He's even with the Cerulean gym leader. They have got to be dating at this point. Especially since her sister said that she went out on another journey." The same girl recalled.

It was after breakfast, Ash and Misty went onto the deck to have some fun. They competed against some of their own Pokémon as they played shuffleboard. Some of them used their attacks and they had some laughs even as Ash teasingly grabbed up Misty and she laughed at that as he swung her around a bit. After putting her down she turned around halfway and kissed his cheek, loving this time with him and their Pokémon.

They had a nice walk around the ship, even as they had ice-cream after lunch. Their Pokémon were having a wonderful time as they were massaged by amazing breeders. Pikachu was smiling ear to ear as his face and body was being massaged, moaning with pure relaxing pleasure saying 'Pika pika.' Even Misty's Pokémon were enjoying their time. Psyduck's head was getting a much needed massage, even on his neck. He did the same as Pikachu and gave off a relaxing 'Psy.'

Even Gyarados was being given a body massage, well below deck. Not to mention that an Onix was being given a sandpaper massage. As they were, Ash and Misty decided to relax in a hot tub, allowing the bubbles to massage their skin. Misty was right up against Ash, his arm wrapped around her shoulders and her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed, enjoying this time. He smiled at her and kissed her head.

After a couple of days on the cruise ship, Ash and Misty, along with many other passengers, departed the cruise ship to spend some time on one of the Orange Islands. While there, they decided to go out on a date. They did some shopping for some souvenirs, had lunch and enjoyed their time. It was twenty till the ship was supposed to depart, but they got back in time.

It was the next day, they managed to get some massages, Ash moaning and groaning from his as this was a first for him. As for Misty, she was laying her head down, her eyes closed as she enjoyed this. Remembering when her sisters took her out while she was the gym leader. Just to help her with any stress and tension she was dealing with. As she got her massage, she heard Ash moaning and groaning, and she giggled as she looked over to him.

"Are you okay over there?" she asked jokingly as she turned her head to face him as she smiled.

"Define okaaaayyyyyy." Ash groaned as his back was popped in multiple areas.

"Hang on sir. There's a lot of tension in your body." The woman told him. From there she began to twist him in multiple directions, both Misty and the other masseuse watched and gave off some laughter once she had him laying back on his front, now tackling his neck. The both of them just laughed.

"Oh man! How was I that tense?" he wondered to himself.

"I'd say all the journeys you went on." Misty reminded him teasingly as her masseuse continued.

"Maybe so. But I hardly ever…" that was when his masseuse massaged his neck area, before popping it. "Ooooohhhhhh!" he exclaimed in a low moan. Misty released a snicker from hearing that. "What all is there that still has me stressed?" he questioned.

It was a few hours after that, the two of them hopped in the hot tub again and Ash went to get them some lemonade as Misty let her hair down. Another guy about flirted with Misty again until Ash came up with the lemonade.

"Hey Ash." She said to him as he joined her.

"Hey Mist. Here you go." Ash acknowledged as he handed her the lemonade.

"Thanks." She replied to him before she kissed his cheek. The guy groaned as he walked away in a slumped motion. Misty leaned back in the hot tub as the bubbles kept on going, her eyes closed. "Aaahhhh, now this is relaxing." She commented. Even her Pokémon were enjoying themselves, along with Ash's.

"I'll admit it. It is great to relax and ease the tension." He replied to her. Misty scooted over and laid her head on his shoulder. He smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she gave off a relaxing sigh. Ash smiled at her as he laid his head on hers and she nuzzled her head into his neck.

A bit later on, Ash had a few Pokémon battles, since a few trainers wanted to see how tough he really was. He managed to beat them with some relative ease, but gave them words of encouragement of how to become better. Misty smiled at him, went up and hugged him as a congratulations.

Later that night, they were very lucky to have dinner with the Captain. Mostly due to him finding out that he had Ash on his boat. They were dressed up once again, but this time to look more appealing.

The Captain looked at them and smiled. "I'm so glad and honored to have you on board my cruise ship, Mr. Ketchum." He said in a very sincere tone.

"We're glad to have been on this cruise, but just call me Ash." Ash informed him.

"Right. I'm also glad to see you have a date with you as well." The Captain commented.

"Well, my friends and family did get the tickets for us to have a vacation." Ash mentioned.

"And I must say, it's been a blast. It's been a while since we both had a vacation." Misty recalled.

"I'm ecstatic to hear that. Even though we only have a few more days, you both are welcome to the Captain's table for the rest of the voyage." He informed them.

"Wow! Really?" Ash asked, completely shocked.

"Most certainly. Especially from all that I've heard you both have done." The Captain recalled.

"I wonder if that includes surviving the last St. Anne cruise." Misty commented as she recalled what happened.

"Wait. You both are survivors from that last terrible Captain?" he questioned them.

"Yeah. We are." Ash informed him.

"Oh wow!" the Captain exclaimed. "You both must have gone through a lot back then." The Captain replied to them.

"The hardest part was informing the law enforcement and our families that we all managed to survived." Misty told him.

"Yes, yes. I remember what all happened. You two, along with your Pikachu, another friend of yours and three TR members survived and had to let everyone know you all were still alive." He recalled.

"I do wonder what happened to the old Captain." Ash said out of curiosity.

"He was severely demoted. He's now a crew member on this ship." He told the two as they looked to see the old Captain making sure the other guests were enjoying their time.

"He hit an all-time low." Misty commented.

"That's what happens when you're incredibly irresponsible, along with not knowing what you're doing." The Captain stated.

It wasn't long after their dinner was served. Ash and Misty thanked him for the amazing feast, and they started to chow down. More Ash than the others. Misty merely giggled as she knew Ash incredibly well. The Captain, however, was incredibly surprised, but had thought about how much traveling he must have done over the years to build up such an appetite.

It was during the days of their cruise that Ash either held Misty close as they slept, or she held him from behind as she nuzzled her head into his back. Not only that, but during that time Ash and Misty also enjoyed some amazing lemonade and tea beverages. Not only those, but Ash got Misty some ice cream cones as well. Mostly pistachio ice cream since he knew she loved them.

Two days before the cruise would end, Ash and Misty attended a small dance, with Misty keeping close to him and him holding her close. They smiled at each other, loving each other's company.

"I'll say this. I've really enjoyed my time with you. It's definitely helped me to relax." Misty told him.

"Likewise. I know the cruise is ending soon, but this has been amazing." Ash remarked.

Misty smiled at him, her eyes sparkling like at the party for his birthday and their anniversary. She laid her head on his chest, sighing comfortably. "This is definitely what we needed." She commented to herself as Ash held her close.

It was now the last night of the cruise and Ash and Misty were on the side of the boat, under a section of the ship, leaning against the railing with Pikachu on Ash's shoulder. The two of them felt the breeze hit their face as their hair moved in the small breeze. The two of them smiled as the boat kept on moving as it made mini waves from its movement.

"Our last night on the boat." Ash mentioned.

"I know, but it was all worthwhile." Misty replied as she laid her head on his free shoulder.

"I will admit, I'll miss this, but it'll be great to get back to training." Ash stated.

"It's great that we took this vacation." Misty stated.

Ash put his hand on hers and she looked at him. "We definitely needed this. Just some time together to relax and have fun." He replied her.

"Pika pika pi pika chu. (Along with the Pokémon.)" Pikachu added.

She smiled at Ash and he leaned his head onto hers. She smiled as they both closed their eyes before looking back out at the sea.

Meanwhile, in the control center, the Captain and his crew were keeping an eye on things as the Captain looked through his binoculars. Making sure that everything was clear for when they made port soon.

"Sir! I'd say everything is clear." His first mate reported.

The Captain brought down his binoculars and looked to his first mate with a smile. "I can confirm that. We have clear waters ahead." The Captain replied to him.

"Uuhhh…sir! You beast come and see this." Once of his crewmen said, a bit hesitantly. the Captain looked to him before looking back out at the sea and saw some pretty bad flashes of lightning and dark clouds coming at them.

"Get me on the horn with the port and prepare to send out an S.O.S." He ordered his crew. It wasn't long until they connected him and the storm got much closer. "Hello! Hello! This is Captain Turbin. We have a situation on our hands. There's seems to be a massive storm approaching." He informed them.

The person in the control room got on the horn with him. "Yes, we hear you loud and clear. We attempted to contact the news crews' weather channel and no one answered." The man informed him.

In the news crews building, the staff were either tied up and gagged or locked in a separate room. A woman in a black outfit with a red R on it along with a white short skirt with a red line around it, above the edge. Blonde hair a red and white cap with arm length gloves and leg length socks and white boots watched others go through some stuff to see if they could find anything.

"Miss!" a member came up to her. She looked to him. "I think we found something." He informed her as he gave her some papers. She took them and gave them a good look over.

"This was supposed to be on the news tomorrow, right?" she questioned.

"Yes ma'am! They don't have the artifacts on hand, but we have a suspicion where they could be at." He informed her.

She gave off a devious smile, knowing what this meant. "Even though they kept some of them away from us. This shoulder most certainly be helpful." She stated.

Back with the people on the port, they were looking at the radar. "It looks like the start of a hurricane heading for the Orange Islands. Sent out and S.O.S and we'll inform other boats about this and your location." The man tells the Captain.

"Roger that." He responded and looked to his crew. "We need to start an evacuation." He warns them.

It was during this time that Ash was walked with Misty, thinking about telling her how he feels about her. He then thought of something. "Hey, Mist." He tells her.

She looks over to him. "Hmm? Yes Ash?" she asks.

"I'll be right back. There's something that I need to get real fast. I'll be at the room in a bit." He tells her. After that he ran off to get something for her.

"Huh! I wonder what he's going to get?" she wondered.

It took Ash a few minutes to get to the mini shop on the ship and he was scanning around for something. "I wonder…ha! Found it!" he exclaimed to himself as he went over to a case.

As this was happening, Misty was nearly at their room until something hit the ship as it swayed a bit. This threw her off a bit as she regained her balance and she looked around. "What the…what just…" "Attention everyone attention!" the Captain called out.

Even Ash stopped after he felt the ship sway a bit, but he looked up at the intercom. "This is to all crew and passengers. A small hurricane is about to hit us and we need to evacuate the ship. Please, calmly make your way to the lifeboats. We all need to evacuate." He ordered everyone.

"I need to find Ash." Misty said incredibly worried before she ran off.

"I need to find Misty." Ash said to himself as right before he ran off as well.

It wasn't long after that everyone was heading to their own rooms or just leaving them as they grabbed what they could to get out of there. Misty left hers and Ash's room after getting their stuff and carried Ash's backpack with her as Ash went to look for her. Misty began for the deck as Ash went to the room where they both stayed at. He used the card key to open the door and saw their stuff was gone.

"Mist." He said to himself, and he and Pikachu went above deck.

Misty was now on deck, and she was looking for Ash as it started to rain. "Ash! Ash?" she called out as everyone else went to the lifeboats. Ash had just gotten on deck as he and Pikachu began to look for Misty.

Back at the news station, the news crew managed to free themselves and started getting to work quickly as Team Rocket was getting ready to leave.

"Quickly everyone! We have to warn them all." A woman informed them all.

"What of Team…" "Don't worry about them right now! We have got to warn everyone of the hurricane. Besides that, we're contacting the police to let them know of what happened here." She informed the man.

"Let's do this. We all set?" the male anchor asked. Everyone was at the ready when they were at their equipment. "Let's do this then!" he exclaimed.

"Start the camera." The anchor woman ordered. The camera man did and when some people, including Delia and Prof. Oak, tuned to the news channel, they wondered what was going on.

It was then the anchor woman looked at the tv with an incredibly serious expression. "Everyone! We have some very stressful news. We have been tracking that hurricane for some time, but due to events that happened here, we must warn everyone that the hurricane we have been tracking is going for the Orange Islan…wait!" she stated as she put her fingers up to her ear piece.

"This just in. That same hurricane has just hit the Saint Anne." She reported to them.

At that very moment, Tracey called Daisy and told her about what he just heard.

"Like, what!" she exclaimed. She went to the living room and turned the tv to the news channel. Lily and Violet looked a bit steamed when she did, as they were watching one of their favorite shows from when they were kids. "Don't, like, look at me. Our little sisters ship is in the middle of a, like, hurricane!" she told them. They both gasped and looked at the news.

Delia even called Brock and he contacted the others as they began to listen in. "The Saint Anne is in a great deal of distress as everyone. From my understanding, ships have been dispatched its location to retrieve the survivors." She informed everyone. Ash and Misty's friends and family everywhere were completely worried about them now. Even Gary was hit with massive worry as his friends were out there on that cruise ship.

Ash and Misty were both running around, looking for each other. Time feeling like it was either going fast or slow as they both were panicking. Misty was frantic as she wanted to find Ash so they both could get off. Ash was doing the same thing, even as the lifeboats were getting filled up quickly. Even as they were, the waves started to get violent. The ship was beginning to saw a little.

As that was going on, Ash was panting as he was looking for her. "Where is she! Where could she be? Misty! MISTY!" he exclaimed as he called out.

"Oh Ash, where are you! ASH! ASH!" she exclaimed as well as she called out.

It felt like it took longer, especially with how the waves were hitting the boat. It was hard for them to retain their balance, especially of how the rain poured on them. But it wasn't long until they saw each other in the crowd. From there they started for each other.

"Ash!" "Misty!" Ash!" "Misty!" "Ash!" "Misty!" "Ash!" "Misty!" they each exclaimed as they reached each other and embraced one another, holding each other tight.

"I-I-I was so worried about you." She told him as she continued to hold him close.

"Same with you, Mist." He told her. From there they backed up and she kissed his cheek.

"Please don't leave my side again. I-I don't…" she started to cry but Ash wiped her tear away.

She looked at him and he looked at her with a serious expression. "You have nothing to worry about." He reassured her. She still looked at him as he caressed her face. "Trust me, Misty. We'll get off." He continued to reassure her. "Come on. Let's get in a lifeboat." He told her as they headed off as he took her hand after she handed him his backpack.

With Dawn and Serena, they were in the middle of a contest when they saw the news. The two of them were very worried about their friends.

"We need to…" "The moment you both leave out of here. Means you both forfeit the contest." Someone told them. It was Ursula as she looked at them.

"Even if we do forfeit the contest, at least we'll know our friends are alright," Serena told her.

"Still, I'd be cautious of the decision you'll make." Miette warned her.

"The best thing we can do is wait. We'll depart the first thing in the morning." Dawn stated.

Serena wasn't fully certain about this, but Miette went up to her and Serena looked at her. "With how everything is going, I hope you tell Ash how you feel, or otherwise I'll let him know how I feel." Miette still warned her. This irritated Serena as she was slowly understanding Ash's feelings for Misty.

Back with them, they were seeing that a majority of the lifeboats were gone. They continued to search, as even Pikachu was having a difficult time. As they kept on looking they spotted one where another crew member was loading a few more people in, along with he family that Ash and Misty saw at the beginning of the cruise. They went up to the lifeboat and saw only one seat was left.

"Only one seat left. Not enough room for the both of us." Misty informed Ash.

"Might not be enough room, but enough for one." Ash told her.

Misty was very confused as she looked at him. "What do you…huh, Ash!" She exclaimed as he picked her up bridal.

"If one of us can make it off, you should go first." He told her.

"Bu-but…" "No buts, Mist." He told her until he gave her a small kiss then broke it. "That's for reassurance that I'll make it." He told her. From there he put her in the lifeboat, and she looked at him, even as he put Pikachu on her lap.

"Pi Pikapi. (But Ash.)" Pikachu requested.

"Listen buddy. I need for you to keep an eye on her while I get into another lifeboat." He informs Pikachu. "Can you please do that?" he asked him.

"Pika pika… (I can…)" Pikachu replied very sullenly.

"Lower away!" the crew member ordered. They did as he said and Misty only watched Ash as her boat was lowered.

"I-I love you Ash." Misty said to herself as she watched the boy she loved get further away from her before her boat lowered into the water. From there, four of the passengers - two on each one - grabbed the two oars and started rowing, even as the waves were starting to get even more dangerous. Misty looked to the small family and saw that the parents were holding their kids close.

Misty looked to Pikachu who had an incredibly sad face. "It-it'll be alright." She tried to reassure him, but Pikachu only grabbed onto her in a hug, and she returned it. "I know, I know." She told him and tried to stop her own tears, but they began to stream down her face as she gritted her teeth in frustration, knowing that Ash might not make it.

On the ship, Ash was seeing other lifeboats being lowered, hardly any room on them. As he kept on searching, a pretty big wave was coming up to the side of the boat and Ash saw this. He took the box out he had purchased and opened it, revealing a silver ring. "Misty Waterflower. I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend tonight and make the promise to always be yours, but I'm not sure if I'll have that chance." He said to himself. It was right there someone grabbed him and pulled on his arm.

Misty and all the other passengers looked and saw the same wave Ash saw earlier and gasped. "No." she said to herself. "P-p-please…don't…" but it was too late. The ship was hit by the wave, and it forced the ship over, and it made a massive splash as it slowly turned upside down. The tears Misty had earlier became larger in streams. She began to think of the worst when it happened and only Ash was on her mind. Even Pikachu cried after seeing what happened. Everyone was incredibly saddened to see that boat go down. Not knowing if everyone made it off.

None of them even knew if the Captain and his crew made it off. All they could do is row for now. As they did, night fell, and they all remained huddled together to help retain warmth. It was a few hours later that everyone saw another ship close by and it drew closer. The first boats that left were slowly being emptied as many people wanted to climb on board to get to safety.

It took a bit of time, but Misty's boat was next, and the family was first off. It wasn't long until Misty went on board with Pikachu on her shoulder. It wasn't long until her lifeboat was emptied, and she was safely onboard. From there, she looked around the ship, not knowing if Ash managed to survive or not. As she was looking around a man came up to her.

"Umm, miss. Can I get your name, please." He requested.

Misty looked to see him and saw he was a crew member on the new ship. "Ketchum. Misty Ketchum." She informed him.

"Thank you miss." He replied and put her name down.

This surprised Pikachu as he looked at her. "Pikachu-pi chu? (Misty Ketchum?)" Pikachu questioned.

Misty looked over to him on her shoulder. "There's no telling if he's still around or not. So I decided to take his last name. I'm doing it for his family name." she told him. Pikachu was very worried about the same thing, but he knew she had her heart in the right place.

More and more passengers arrived, and Misty is still incredibly worried about Ash. She had no idea of where he was. She kept on looking around as she had on a pink jacket to keep her warm from the chilly air. She was even given a blanket to assist her. When she and Pikachu kept on looking around, Pikachu's ears perked up as he heard someone. 'Pi!' he exclaimed as he looked in the direction.

Misty noticed this and looked at him. "Pikachu, what is it?" she asked him. She saw the direction he was looking in and looked in the same direction. That's when she saw him. The same raven-haired boy. As soon as she saw him, she immediately turned and began to walk fast towards him as Pikachu jumped off her shoulder and ran to him.

As he looked around for a bit, wondering where someone was as well, he heard a very familiar 'PIKAPI!' exclaiming his name and he turned to see Pikachu run and jump into his arms. Ash managed to catch him and laughed. "Pikachu. I'm so glad you're safe. But where's…" "Ash!" a voice exclaimed. He looked up and saw Misty right in front of him. She began to get tears in her eyes and she ran towards him.

Jumping into the air he reached his arms out and caught her and he spun them as Pikachu jumped off his shoulder as Misty's arms were now around his neck. After he spun them, he attempted to put her down, but her legs encircled his waist. He knew why she did that and only held her close as Misty was incredibly worried about him and didn't know if he had managed to survive or not.

"I'm so…" "I'm so glad you're safe." She told him. He was a bit surprised and drew back a bit to look at her as she released her legs from his waist, her feet now on the deck again. "Wait. You're not mad?" he asked her,

"I-I…I was only saddened." She told him sullenly. "I was worried that you wouldn't make it. I-I wasn't for sure…" she could barely muster up, but he made her look at him.

"I know and I understand." He told her and she looked into his warm chocolate brown eyes.

"Ash…?" she questioned as she began to lean in as her eyes started to close.

"Um, sir?" Someone requested. Misty stopped and they both looked to the person. It was the same guy who requested her name earlier. "May I have your name?" He requested from Ash.

"It's Ash Ketchum." He informed the man.

He wrote down his name. "I'm glad you both managed to find one another." He told them. "I'd say she's been looking for you ever since she came on board." He informed him before he headed off.

Ash looked at Misty and she blushed and looked away shyly. He smiled at her and caressed her cheek. She looked right back at him when he did. "I'm just glad we're both together again." He told her. "For right now, we best find out where we're staying." He stated before taking her hand and they each walked together. Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder as they went to find out the room they were supposed to stay in.

They came up to a crew member who, along with others, were taking care of room arrangements. Ash and Misty went up to them to try and find out where they would be staying. A crew man looked to a woman he was assisting and informed her that 'it will be a bit of time, but we'll get to your room soon' and other who told the small family that their room was ready, but they might have to share with an elderly couple, which was fine with the family.

A crew member looked at Ash and Misty. "May I help you two?" he requested.

"We're wondering if you guys have a room ready?" Ash asked him.

"Name please?" he added from his previous request.

"Umm…Misty." She told him.

He began to skim through names and about asked for her last name until he found a name called 'Misty Ketchum.' "Ah, yes. Found it." He confirmed them. He looked at the room and saw what it said. "Your room is ready and are you both together?" he asked them.

"Of course." Ash confirmed.

"Our friends and family are the ones who purchased the tickets." Misty told him.

"Understood. Well, this lady will take you to your room." He informs them. From there Ash and Misty went with her and Misty looked to Ash.

"Tell me, Ash. How'd you get off in time?" she asked him.

"Well, believe it or not…" he started.

Flashback

"I was beginning to lose hope once I saw that wave, but someone who recognized me grabbed my arm." He told her.

"Come on, Mr. Ketchum. You're the last one." The person informed him.

"It was one of the passengers and she escorted me to the lifeboat" he continued to tell Misty. "After I sat down, there wasn't any time for us to be lowered. So I saw a few of them cutting though the ropes, but even that would've taken too long. I knew what to do." Ash told her.

"Come on out, Infernape." He called out.

"From there I had Infernape use Flamethrower on the ropes and the lifeboat fell into the water. I returned him and summoned Pidgeotto to assist us, and others who had flying and water-types used theirs to assist us in getting away from the wave that was approaching." He continued to tell her. "We barely managed to escape, but afterwards we returned our Pokémon for a well deserved rest." He finished.

Flashback ends

"Sounds like we all had a close call tonight." Misty commented sullenly until as gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

She looked at him. "At least we're all together." Ash told her. "I just hope we all got off safely." He said to himself.

It wasn't long after that they reached their new room. "It might not be the best, but it should have what you need until we reach port." She told them. She opened the door and showed them their room and it was like the last one they were in, but a tad smaller. "We'll be serving a late dinner for you passengers from the Saint Anne. Hopefully you all can get to relax and get some rest." She told them before she headed off after giving one of them the key card to the room.

After that they put their stuff down and only took out their necessary items. Misty was first into the bathroom as Ash relaxed and spent some time polishing his pokeballs. Complimenting each of them for a job well done that night. Misty came out not long after, with a towel around her neck and in her Luvdic outsit. Ash smiled at her before he went in. When he did, Misty sat next to Pikachu.

Pikachu looked at her with a bit of concern. She looked over to him, wondering why he was looking at her like that. "What? What is it, Pikachu?" she asked.

"Pi chu pika chu Pikapi chu pika pikachu pi? (Why didn't you tell Ash about you taking his last name?)" Pikachu asked.

"It's because, Pikachu he doesn't need to know what I was going to do. I did it for just in case, so his name can be lived on." She told him.

It wasn't long until Ash was out and a person came in to take their order. They looked at the menu and made their orders. The person departed with their orders, and it took some time for their orders to arrive, along with some Pokémon food.

Later that night, Ash and Misty were in bed together. Ash kept ahold of her, knowing all that they went through was incredibly tough.

Misty looked at Ash, her eyes sparkling as she did. "Ash?" she asked.

He looked to her. "Yeah, Mist?" he responded.

She lowered her head with an incredibly sullen face. "P-please. Hold me close." She requested. Ash smiled and wrapped his arms around her, knowing how scared she truly was and this did surprise her as she was hardly ever like this before. But he brushed it off, knowing that keeping them calm was more important.

The following day everyone was up and Ash and Misty were ready to depart the ship. They handed their card key back and the crew members hoped they had enjoyed their time, despite what happened last night. Once Ash and Misty were off the Captain shook many of his passengers' hands, thanking them for their stay and apologized for what happened.

Once Ash and Misty reached him Ash put his hand up and the Captain took it to shake it.

"I must say. We had an amazing cruise until that hurricane." He commented.

"That we did and I hope that everyone made it off." Ash replied to him.

"Nothing to worry about. We did a count of names, and everyone made it off safe and sound." The Captain reassured him.

As they chatted Misty looked around and saw Officer Jenny. She knew she had to fix what she had told one of crew members on board.

She headed over to her and Officer Jenny looked at her. "Yes? Can I help you miss?" Officer Jenny requested.

"Officer Jenny. There's something I need to fix real fast from what I told a crew member last night." She informed her.

"And what might that be?" Officer Jenny questioned, a tad bit suspicious.

As that was happening, Ash was finishing his chat with the Captain. "I do hope we can have another vacation in the future, Captain." Ash commented.

"Aye. I agree. I hope so too, and it was an honor to have the League Victor and his date on board the ship." The Captain complimented.

"The honor is ours." Ash replied.

"Speaking of which. Where did she run off to?" the Captain asked.

"Huh?" Ash questioned and looked right beside himself. "That's odd." He stated until he heard a 'Pi' from Pikachu and he looked to him. "Huh? Do you see her buddy?" Ash asked.

"Pika chu-pi. (Right over there.)" Pikachu stated as he pointed in a direction.

Ash looked and there she was, talking with Officer Jenny. He smiled and went over to her.

"Okay, I understand. I'll get it all cleared up." Officer Jenny told her.

"Thanks Officer Jenny. I really appreciate it." Misty replied. From there she saw Ash go up to her and Officer Jenny went back to her duties.

"Is everything okay, Mist?" Ash asked her.

"Yep. Just letting Officer Jenny know a few things" Misty replied to Ash.

"Well, we best get started getting out of here and contact the others. No telling of how worried they are." Ash stated.

"No kidding. I know my sisters are probably worried sick." Misty replied.

They were starting to leave the port and they were about to enter the building until something hit Misty.

"Say. I wonder. How would they even find out about what did happen?" she pondered.

"Even I'm trying to figure that part out." Ash added as he began to think as well.

It wasn't until they got inside, and they saw their friends and family there: Dila, Prof. Oak, Gary, Brock, Tracey, Daisy, Lily, Violet, May, Max, Dawn, Kenny, Zoey, Paul, Serena, Calem, Iris Shauna and several others.

"I take it that they knnoooowwwww!" Ash was saying until mom grabbed him into a smothering hug.

"Oh my boy. My little boy! I'm so glad you are safe." She told him as she swung him in the hug, left to right as Ash was struggling to get free.

"I-I'm g-glad to s-see you t-too, mom. But c-can y-you let g-go of-f m-me?" Ash requested.

From there she let him go and he managed to begin catching his breath. "Oh, Ash, honey. I'm just so glad you and Misty are safe." Delia told him.

Misty's sisters went up to her and gave her a BIG group hug.

"Like, my gosh little sis. You both had us, like, worried." Lily stated.

"We actually thought that we were going to, like, lose you." Voilet stated.

They all then pulled back and smiled at her. "But we're all, like, extremely happy you and Ash are, like, safe." Daisy told her.

May then ran up to Ash and gave him a BIG hug as well. "My gosh, I honestly thought we lost our best friends there." She told him before she let go.

"Yeah. No kidding. I hope everything was alright." Drew commented.

"I think we'll find out as much as we need to." Kenny told them. They all looked to him as he was looking in a certain direction. "Take a look." He said as he pointed at the tv.

They all did and saw the woman on the tv screen, and she had hazel eyes and some dark green hair. "It's from our understanding that the hurricane that is going towards the Orange Islands hit the Saint Anne last night. From what has been reported of the passengers is that everyone is safe and sound, but a little shaken up." She announced to everyone around the globe. "Not to mention, many of the Pokémon that know about this hurricane are avoiding it completely." She added on as she continued her broadcast.

"Wait, isn't that…?" Misty asked Ash.

"Yeah. That is. It's Mariah." He replied.

As she was on the air, many people in the Orange Islands were preparing for the hurricane to hit. "From what we know so far, is that this hurricane didn't show up on radar at all. And we're still keeping track of it." She stated. As she was talking, Danny was getting his area ready for when the hurricane would hit. Even Cissy was preparing as well, along with her little brother. From what scientists have discovered so far, this hurricane doesn't seem to be slowing down, even as it nears the Orange Islands." She stated. Rudy, his little sister who grew up over the years, with the crew that helps him, and Luana with her son and their staff were also getting ready.

"Some scientists are saying it's the work of the Legendary Pokémon, as they believe the hurricane is heading towards a new island that was discovered a while ago." She stated. Melody along with her sister and the other islanders watched the news as well. Not knowing what was happening.

"It would seem as if the secret island isn't as secret anymore." Prof. Oak stated in a very sad tone.

"Could it be true, though?" Drew asked.

"Is it going to that new island?" Zoey added.

"There is that possibility, but I'm not too for sure. As for right now. We best get you guys back on track." He told them as he smiled, helping to escort them.

"I do hope all those people on the Orange Islands will be okay." Max said, incredibly sad from what was going on.

"Don't worry too much. Remember that my dad invited you to join him to venture out into the sea." Molly reminded him, growing a bit more fond of Max.

Drew looked to May. "Is it just me, or does it seem like they're hanging out a lot?" Drew asked her.

"If you ask me, and they might be a bit young, but I think it's romance blossoming between them." May replied to Drew.

"Oh goodie." He remarked in an annoyed tone while sounding sarcastic, knowing they wouldn't hear the end of a possible relationship between them.

As they departed on out, at Team Rocket HQ, Domino had just presented Giovanni with the stuff she and the other Rocket members had taken. He gave off an evil smile, seeing the information on the artifacts and relics.

"Excellent work, Domino. I strongly doubt that Team Plasma has this kind of information." He praised her. But he looked at her and gave her a serious look. "What about the spies you managed to find?" he demanded from her.

"Sir. They have been detained and are in the cells. Awaiting your orders for any course of action." She replied.

"Just have their minds wiped by the Psychic types. Once the time is right, we'll strike." Giovanni ordered.

"Sir!" she exclaimed before she turned on her heel and walked out of his office.

Giovanni smiled wickedly and laid back in his chair as he continued looking at the papers. "Soon enough, mother. Team Rocket will be the top organization, just as you had envisioned all those years ago." Giovanni stated.
