Rose Isle Royale

Aaliyah stared down at the choppy water, as if trying to see through it and look at the many pokemon that probably inhabited it. Her Weavile, Memory, who stood left to the stripey-shirt wearing girl, felt worried. The choppy waters made him worried. He wondered how Aaliyah could stand it.

Aaliyah`s other two pokemon, a vaporeon who goes by Dream and a pikachu known as Dante, didn`t seem to be bothered by it. Nor were they or Aaliyah bothered by the drizzle. So, when the man spoke over the speaker, Memory was the only one who seemed startled. "Seems like we need to go to the lower deck," Aaliyah said cooly, stating the obvious, "C'mon, let`s go."

With that, the young trainer whipped around and walked inside, Dante and Memory staying close to Aaliyah and Dream being reluctant of going inside away from the light, gentle rain and fresh air. Once inside, Aaliyah noticed Annalyn and the forms. Dante shook his head in dissappointment at Dream who wore an expression that screamed 'I want to be in the rain.' Memory payed no mind to the vaporeon and pikachu and just kept his attention fixed on his trainer.

As the drizzle continued Radd began to scratch his spikey hair. Zangoose's hair began to get wet, and it began to become irritated. "Ditto, transform into an umbrella." Radd commanded. Ditto began to frown. Once again Ditto had to take the hit for Radd, and Zangoose. As Radd began to grasp Ditto umbrella, Ditto decided to play a prank by transforming into a spike ball. Radd shrieked in pain as Ditto, and Zangoose began to laugh. "Ditto return!" Radd said, ticked off. :laugh::badsmile:

OOC: You ignored my last post Porygon-Z :'(

"No Wait! Stooop!" came the shrill voice of a 15 Year Old Roisin Haruka. Her voice was beeing muffled over the bellowing sound of a Cruiser Ships' Foghorn. Roisin and her Pokemon -Yanma- were charging down a busy cobble-stone street in Central Slateport City. There was a slight hint of Sea Salt in the air. The Sky ahead was Overcast and Grim, like it was about to rain, or atleast drizzle. "Waaa- Oh what's the point, we've missed the Ship anyway..." Roisin shouted as she nearlly collapsed on a nearby bench.

"Yam-Yam," the little pokemon encouraged as she perched upon Roisins' slender Shoulder. Yanma Nudged Roisin under the Chin which made her Smile and pet the young Dragonfly Pokemon. Yanma suddenly decided to Take off from Roisins shoulder, she started to hover over too a nearby Sea Merchant. He was short and Bald with a Big black mustache.

"What's up Yanma?" asked the girl as she stood p from her bench and followed the Green and Red Bug Type Pokemon...

"Come one come all! Rafts for sale! Give us 'ya money we'll give 'ya a Raft! Ye'll have yer' oar, Maybe even a Water 'Kmon! Buy a Raft today!" Shouted the Merchant, who upon closer inspection looked rather like a Penguin. Yanma and Roisin echanged Looks between the Penguin-Man and eachother.

"You can't be serious!" Roisin said to Yanma. The Dragonfly Smiled and giggled, then nudged Roisin forwards towards the man... When they had go onto the beach they approached the Merchant. "Errrmmm... How Much're the Rafts?" Roisin asked, feeling a deep pain in the pit of her Money supply.

"100PokeDollars ma'am," the Merchant said, with a hint of triumph in his voice.

"Oh is that all? Why?"

"Well I am not liable anything that may occur whilst Sailing whether it may be drowning Freezing or becoming Stranded," The Man said really fast.

"Oh right... Well Yanma, time to make a new friend! We need a Water Pokémon to help us in case we ermmm... Drown," Roisin chortled rather Calmly. And hey ventured down the sea front.

-15 Minutes Later-

"Ugh! The only friendly thing we've met is a Krabby and I doubt he can pull us to shore!" Roisin moaned as she sat down on a Rock. Yanma once again perched on her Shoulder.

"Yam-Yam!" Yanma shouted. He saw two Pokémon fighting, one had a Clear advantage, there was a Pink and White Spiky Pokémon that had the Advantage against a randomly Splashing Magikarp. "Yamm," Yanma screeched excitedly.

"Yeah that's make a great new friend! Whether it likes it or not." She smiled as she whipped out her Pure White Pokédex. She opened it up and the screen immediately displayed a Picture of the Pokémon. "Corsola, the Coral Pokémon. Corsola are nearly entirely made out of Coral Shell, They Shed their Shell when they get to Big and grow a new one," said a cool, smooth Female voice.

"Yanma, go on, Sonic Boom!" Roisin encouraged. Yanma was off like a Rocket and within seconds of Taking off she was already Beating her wings so fast that she could break Glass.

"Yam-yam-yam-yam-yam!" She shouted as she used the Sound to shock Corsola. Corsola didn't even get a chance to attack back, The Net Ball had already left her hands and had collided with the Pink Pokémon. In a Stream of Red Light Corsola was Captured.
"Yay! We caught a Corsola, Yanma!" Roisin cheered.
"Yam Yam!" squeaked Yanma, The Pokémon and Trainer exchanged a High Five.

"I'd introduce Corsola and Spoink but Spoink'll probably bounce out to sea by the time he even says Hello..." she muttered too herself. "Anyway let's go!" Roisin said to her Pokémon. And after purchasing the luxury raft Roisin set Sail, Yanma on her shoulder like a Pirates Parrot.

OOC: Jimz, I just noticed you edited it. I'll PM you with my critique of your sign-up outside of the RP. And yeah, there may be time to catch a Pokemon or two. But this isn't going to be such a smooth journey to the island...

And Annalyn isn't the League Champion chomp. She came in third place. She was the Sinnoh Grand Champion though. You got it half right.

Animehero, please improve the quality of your posts. They're not contributing anything to the story. Pretty please?

Annalyn watched as the other trainers filed in behind her. They seemed to just skim over the forms and sign them. One trainer in particular, who looked quite dapper in his suit and hat, seemed to barely read it before he signed it. Oh my... I just want to make I know what I'm getting into... She read the final form and then proceeded to sign all three pieces of paper. She piled them neatly with their corners matching neatly and placed them in front of the sickly woman. "Oh.. before I forget. Each of you needs to... take... a number... and keep a hold of... it... now if you'll... ex.. cuse me.. I need to use... the lad... ies room..." the official said before quickly bolting from her chair into the nearby door with the female symbol on it. The sounds of her retching and vomiting could be heard in the room. Annalyn had never been fond of vomiting. Of everything she has faced in her time as a doctor, she has never been able to deal with puking and rodents. So, to drown out the sounds of the woman, she decided to strike up conversation with the man who had called her name.

"Ah... yes," she said, "Jim, it's so nice to meet you. And it seems you know me already." She reached out and shook his hand, and with her other hand, she moved her bangs away from her eyes. He seemed like a capable man, and from his tan, he appeared to be from the south. She looked him up and down. Annalyn had the nasty habit of analyzing the people she met to the point where it seemed as if she was staring. She quickly caught herself and grabbed a PokeBall from her belt and pointed it at Syter and returned the Mantis to its ball. "Syter... there's no need for you to be out," she said as she placed the ball on her belt again. Then she turned her attention to the man in front of her, "So Jim, what accomplishments have merited you coming to this--" Annalyn began to ask just as the ship was rocked violently. A large explosion roared outside and the screams of the other passengers followed.

Then, over the intercom the captain's frantic voice rang, "Umm... please don't panic... it seems were under attack by a group of disgruntled... Gyara... OH SHI--" His voice was cut off, and then followed by a discomforting silence.

"Oh my. Hey, there, young lady, can you check on the Tournament Official in the bathroom. I'm sure that blast didn't help her sickness. Jim, how about you and I go out and see what's going on out on the deck, shall we?" She grabbed the man's arm and ran out the door, up the the maze-like stairs and onto the now burning deck. It appeared to be that several Gyarados had surrounded the ship, and were viciously attacking. They were throwing about powerful Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, and Hyper Beam attacks.

"Oh dear..." she said as she grasped a PokeBall on her belt and prepared to attack.

Just when Aaliyah was done signing the forms and about to face Jim, she heard the giant explosion. Memory, who was never really fond of the trip on a ship to start with, freaked out and almost reached for Aaliyah`s pants leg to cling to.

"Pika, pika?!" Dante yelled in surprise. Dream was silent with the anxiety and, surprisingly, joy of this probably being the start of a thrilling adventure. Aaliyah ran outside onto the burning deck, freaked out. "Oh geez," she mumbled, staring up at the Gyarados. Dream`s eyes widened and Dante looked frustrated. Memory seemed frozen in place.

OOC: Was calling me Jim deliberate? Or did I make a spelling mistake somewhere?

IC:
Tim was about to strike up conversation when the boat shook violently and the intercom burst violently back into life, and the captains panicking voice could be heard over the angry roars of something unseen

"Umm... please don't panic... it seems were under attack by a group of disgruntled... Gyara... OH SHI--" At this, Annalyn said something about helping and pulled him after her to the top deck of the ship. He skidded to a halt bfore he reached the deck of the ship, realizing it was on fire. The wind tore past him, and he almost lost his hat. He took it off again, placing it in his right hand, as his left reached for his miniaturized pokeballs. He pondered his choice for a moment; his Charmeleon would be a bad idea, as would his Mightyena. He grasped the remaining two balls, now full size, and tossed them into the air. A Fearow rose from one, flying high into the air, and gliding on the wind, and a Slowbro flopped from the other, scratching itself and yawning. He watched the Gyarados throw Hydro Pumps and Flamethrowers at the ship, and sighed.

"Kemf, Aerial Ace!" he shouted to the large bird, which screeched and dived at one of the Gyarados ferociously, knocking it down into the water with a bone shattering crunch. The Fearow screeched in victory and rose back into the air, while the Slowbro sat on the stairs, looking absent-mindedly at the flames. "Johan, go ahead and use Water Pulse to put out all that fire would you?" he cooed to the Pokemon, which seemed to sigh before opening it's mouth and letting a gentle stream of water loose, extinguishing much of the deck fire. "Now use Psychic" he told the grudging Slowbro, who stood on it's hind legs, and began to wave it's front paws gently in the wind, a strange energy emanating from them. One of the Gyarados began to slowly rise out of the water, roaring and thrashing around. Johan held it steady with his Psychic abilities, before tossing it into another of the angry water dragons. They collided with a dull thump and one sank into the water, unconscious. Tim's Fearow was banking and diving, attempting to dodge the flamethrowers and water guns the attacking Pokemon were firing at him.

"Feeeeearow!" it cried as flames singed one of its wings. Without command, it dived at the Gyarados, aiming a powerful Drill Peck at the pokemon's fleshy underside. As he flapped back into the air, circling the ship slowly, the Gyarados fell back, bleeding heavily from the gaping wound in its chest. Johan was sitting again, looking back at Tim expectantly, it's big vacant eyes fixed on his face, awaiting orders. Kemf flew around the ship, soaring on the wind

"Now Johan, use Psywave! Kemf, use Wing Attack!" he shouted to his Pokemon. The Slowbro opened his mouth and shot a strange beam of Psychic energy from its mouth, and the Fearow fell screaming from the sky, cutting through on of the attackers with another powerful attack. It wasn't very successful though, as the Gyarados only received a glancing hit, and tried to bite the Fearow as it flew back higher. The Slowbro's attack pummelled into that same Gyarados, hitting it on the side of the head, and knocking it back slightly. It roared and turned on the Slowbro, who looked scared, and began scrambling back off the deck, but not fast enough to avoid a Hydro Pump, which slammed it into the guardrail. "Annalyn, you don't think the Hoenn League set this up do you?" he shouted over the noise of the battle, "And my name's Tim."

"Ahh... Sorry, you said Jim earlier. Nice to meet you again Tim. But I have more pressing matters to concern myself with," she said as she threw two of her PokeBalls forward. Syter once again appeared, doing a slight dance as it appeared. From the other ball appeared a red octopus Pokemon whose suction cups clasped onto the singed deck. "Ollery, quickly, use Ice Beam and freeze the water around the ship. We can't let it sink. Syter, use Double Team and then dart around the Gyarados. They aren't the smartest Pokemon. But don't attack! Just fly around them!" She said, and turned her attention to the hurt people who were laying around the deck, burned and injured. "Time to use my medical degree," she said as she reached into her purse and pulled out a first aid kit.

As she tended to an elderly woman nearby who had been struck by some debris, she looked to her Pokemon. The water around the ocean was finally freezing, which locked the ship into place. The Gyarados were busy chasing Syter, which pulled the attention off of Jim's injured Fearow and the ship itself. "They couldn't of set this up. Why would they want to kill us before the competition began. I think we probably just disrupted the Gyarados' nest or something. But now we have another problem. This ship isn't moving anywhere anytime soon. We need to get to that island. And even if we call for help, they won't get here for a while. Maybe we could flag down another ship..." She nodded at the elderly woman and stood up, looking for any nearby ships. She walked to the edge and looked across the horizon. "Hey! What's that!?" Annalyn strained her eyes and saw a young woman with a Yanma on her shoulder floating along in a shabby little float. And it happened to be heading the direction of the island.

"Have your Fearow fly over to that little girl. Here, have it carry this note to her," Annalyn said as she reached into her bottomless pit of a purse and pulled out a pen and a pad of paper. She quickly scribbled a note asking for her help and to help escort them to the island. "Here's the note." She said as she handed it to Jim. She looked back to Ollery, who had turned its attention from the ocean to the Gyarados and was quickly picking them off one by one with Hyper Beams of its own. "Well... we took care of that--oh no," she said as the ship began to shake once again. From the front of the ship, a skinny tentacle seemed to be grasping on the ship. "I recognize those tentacles. Quickly send the note Tim. We need to get off this ship. It seems were a magnet for attacking Pokemon." The source of the tentacle pulled itself up on the ship, revealing itself to be a large Tentacruel. Soon, it was followed by two more Tentacruels.

"Hurry everyone, get back from them. Ollery, Psybeam quickly. Fire for the lead Tentacruel." Ollery reared its round head backward as it gathered purple energy near its mouth. It fired it forward in a straight beam, which struck head on with the Jellyfish Pokemon. It stuttered backward, but only for a quick second. It charged forward and fired a series of poison needles, which struck the Octopus Pokemon hard. "Oh no. Ollery, your poisoned." She ran to her Pokemon and pulled an Antidote from her purse. She quickly sprayed it on Ollery before the poison began to set in. "It looks like were in for another battle."

Tim saw the girl on the tiny raft, she wouldn't last ten seconds with the angered Gyarados. He ran to the edge of the ship and called to his Fearow, who was still circling around the boat

"Kemf! Get down here and give this to the girl on the raft!" he waved the note as the large bird swooped down to retrieve it. With the paper firmly grasped in one of his talons, he glided gently down to the ramshackle raft which the girl and her Yanma were perched on, landing gently in front of her, and holding his talon in front of him, while inspecting his mildly burnt wing with his beak, preening the singed feathers back into place gently. Back on the ship, Johan was being advanced on by a Tentacruel. He roared his lazy roar as it tried to sting him, and bit down hard on the tentacle. The Tentacruel tried to retract it's appendage, but Johan stood firm, the tentacle grasped in his mouth, a determined look forming on his usually blank pink face. The Tentacruel fired off a round of poison laced needles, and the Slowbro quickly turned as the majority of them smashed against his shell. His turning jerked the Tentacruel forwards, throwing it off balance. The Slowbro shook the tentacle vigorously in it's mouth, and the furious Tentacruel smacked it with it's free one. Johan let go of the Pokemon, and bounced off the deck twice before landing, on his feet, a large bruise forming on the left side of is body.

"Johan, use Iron Tail!" Tim shouted to the Slowbro, who was now once again being advanced upon by one of the Tentacruels. He leapt into the air, spinning around and cracking the Pokemon with the shell attached to his tail. The Tentacruel responded by firing off another round of needles, which sprayed over the deck, splintering on the wood and embedding themselves in Tim's arm, which he brought up to shield his face. He cried out in pain, clutching at his new injuries. Upon hearing this scream, Kemf screeched in alarm and took off from the raft, recognising that his trainer was under attack. He flapped onto the deck and saw Tim holding his arm, and the spines protruding from it at various angles. Johan was cornered by one of the Tentacruels, which was trying to throw the Slowbro from the boat. "Johan, use Psywave!" Tim shouted, "I hope you're all good swimmers" he added under his breath, glancing at the people on the deck and emerging from lower floors. "Kemf, go and help out Johan" he told the Fearow, who looked over at the Slowbro, ducking and diving to avoid the powerful tentacles. He flapped into the air, and dived low over the Tentacruel, distracting it for long enough to allow Johan to dodge between the tentacles and escape from the angry Pokemon. The Slowbro ran to its trainers side, and Tim noticed the Pokemon's large bruise. He produced a potion from one of his pockets, bent down to the Slowbro, and gave Johan a liberal spraying with it before replacing the bottle and standing up.

"I think we may have to abandon ship!" he called to the passengers and crew within earshot, "As a 'Trainer of Tomorrow', I would at least like to remain alive until then" he said, chuckling at his own tasteless joke. "What was on the note Annalyn?" he asked the girl, who was treating her Octillery's poisoning

OOC: Xairmo... no. There's a reason but I don't have time to write it. Denied.

"Just to please come over here and grab at least the participants of the tournament. We need to get there soon or they might cancel it. And after all the fun we've had so far, we wouldn't want to miss it!" she said, as she watched the clash of tentacled Pokemon occur in front of her. "Ollery, Psychic!" she quickly commanded. The Octopus suddenly began to emit a strange aura and her eyes glowed with the same coloration. The several Tentacruel surrounding Ollery were lifted into the air, and began to spin around. Meanwhile Ollery was twirling its head around, controlling the motion of the spinning Tentacruel. Then, it lifted its head, which caused the Tentacruel to go higher into the air. Then it flipped the Tentacruel upside down and brought them down with incredible force into a nearby steel beam sticking out from the damaged ship. The impact knocked them out and then their lifeless bodies slid back into the ocean.

"Please let there be no more attacks. I don't think my Pokemon can handle it anymore," Annalyn said to herself, looking at her bruised and heavy-breathing Octillery. Syter finally returned to her side, looking to its trainer for some acknowledgement. "Good job girls. I think you can rest in your PokeBalls for a while." She lifted their PokeBalls into the air and returned them to the spheres. Annalyn walked over to Tim and spotted the poison needles lodged into his arm. "Oh my. We need to get those out. Tentacruel's poison is some of the deadliest in the world. Lucky for you, we've got a doctor on board," she said with a smile as she grabbed the man's arm. Once gain she reached into her purse and pulled out a syringe and some human antidote. She attached the vial to the syringe and then pulled the man's sleeve up, exposing his arm. "Now be still. The nurses usually do this, but I do have practice." She prodded his arm with her finger until she found the proper vein. "Remember, this'll sting a little..." She slowly slid the needle into the vein and then by pushing the back of the syringe down, injecting the antidote into his bloodstream. "Since we treated it early, I don't think it'll pose a problem. Lemme know if you begin to feel anything, okay?" She placed the used syringe and vial into a napkin and put it back in her purse.

Annalyn walked over to the edge of the ship. The ocean around the ship was frozen, but the signs of melting were starting to show. "That girl needs to get over here fast. If this ship gets dislodged from the ice, were sinking. And what are we going to do with the other passengers? We can't fit them all on that dinky thing. Do you have a phone on you or anything? We need to call the Coast Guard..."

"Why don`t I have my vaporeon go over to that girl and help her?" Aaliyah asked Annalyn that made her seem like she came out of nowhere, though she only had walked up to Annalyn. Memory shook his head. There were so many flaws in that suggestion. If only he could speak human.

"Vapor?!" Dream yelped, an agitated look on her face. She twitched her tail. She clearly did not like the sound of that idea.

"Oh, be quiet," Aaliyah commanded her Vaporeon a stern, yet aloof voice. She turned her attention back to Annalyn. "So, what do you say?"

Radd heard a blast coming frmo the other side of the boat. He saw a giant blue serpent like pokemon and began to grin evily. "Gyarados! Just the kind of excitment I've been looking for!" Radd said almost laughing in excitment. Zangoose began growling. He was yearning for a fight and he had finally found one. Radd dashed over to the commotion and ordered his Zangoose to use shadow ball. His mongoose pokemon fired a ball of pure dark power at one of the Gyarados. "Ditto! Your turn, Transform!" Radd comanded as his pokemon took the form of the Gyarados. It dived into the water, and clutched onto the Gyarados throat with it's jaws.

"Ditto, Hyperbeam! Zangoose, Shockwave!" Radd continued. Ditto, still in the form of the Gyarados, fired a beam at the pokemon. It appeared to be a critical hit. Zangoose followed up with a shock wave, and the Gyarados let out a shriek of pain. The Gyarados began to go under in pain. "None escape! No mercy is accepted!" As Radd said this, he flung a poke'ball at the serpent pokemon. A beam of red light shot out of the red, and white ball, and drew the Gyarados in. The ball fell into the water. "Ditto, fetch it." Ditto, which was still in the form of Gyarados, picked the ball up with it's tail, and flung it into Radd's hands.

"You'd think a guy like me would have a Gyarados before now!" Radd said laughing.

((Sorry to interupt, but this RP interests me... So, Porygon-Z, I have a question... When you said that people were still allowed to join until you got 30 posts, did you mean in the topic overall, or as the actual RP? Because if it's the latter, I'd still like to join. :xx))

Pat was in his home Town and Region; Viridian City in the Kanto Region. While walking through the streets at night with his headphones in his ears. Some people drive up to him in a truck, however he tried to ignore everyone, all saying, "Dude major party! Come along!". Everyone in the truck were obviously all very drunk, so Pat just keeps walking, thanking God Arceus that he does'nt have the mind to drink and party all night, and getting a hangover the next day. A gust of wind went through the city, blowing around advertising papers and newspapers everywhere. Once it stops however, there is a paper on Pats face, to he gets it off. The paper says, Rose Isle Royale- Held in Hoenn! Master Trainers come!. He has nothing better to do, and it sounds interesting, so Pat decides to enter. He flies on Charizard to the port at Vermillion City, highly doubting Charizard can make the overnight fly to Hoenn, so he takes the over-day boat to the Region. Reaching it the next day, he calls out his Gyrados to start traveling on the ocean to try and find the Rose Isle Royale place. He reaches an area the could be the Rose Isle, seeing some trainers there signing up for it, apparently. He and Gyrados rush to the place, Gyrados going at a very high speed.

With his uninjured arm, Tim pulled a cell phone from a pocket inside his suit. He flipped the sleek modern mobile open and glanced up at Annalyn and the other trainer who had run over to them

"Doubt I'll get any signal, but it's worth a try" he shrugged, plugging the emergency number into the silver keypad, "It's ringin…Hello? Yes, can I get the Coastguard please? Yes… yes hello, Coastguard? Yeah, our boat is under attack and sinking." He cupped his hand over the mouthpiece and glanced around the deck, "About twenty, plus crew. Our coordinates? I don't know, we're about ten minutes out off Slateport, headed towards Rose Isle…No, we're not on Rose Isle, why? Look, it doesn't matter, Gyarados are attacking us and we are sinking, could you please send a helicopter or a boat or something? Great, how long? I told you, about twenty plus crew. Yeah, a Vaporeon and an Octillery, and my Slowbro knows Surf. Only a tiny raft. No, we're not even within seeing distance of Rose Isle, it's still about an hour away. Really? Great. I'll tell them" he flipped it shut, "Help is coming as soon as it can. He says to try and stop the Gyarados and Tentacruel and whatever else will show up from damaging the boat further, and any Pokemon that can swim should try and keep it afloat." He turned to the girl with the Vaporeon; "If the girl in the raft needs help, Kemf can carry her, she doesn't look very heavy. You're Vaporeon needs to be keeping the boat in one piece" Someone on the deck had caught one of the Gyarados, and was laughing about it. Tim ran to him, "Hi, I'm Tim, nice to meet you, could you possibly use that Ditto of yours to keep the ship from sinking and or breaking apart. Thanks" he turned to look at the deck; there was a chunk of the floor missing, revealing lower levels, and debris was scattered around it liberally. Wasn't there a lifeboat? He scanned the sides of the boat; nothing. He shouted to Annalyn "Can you see a lifeboat or something?" he looked over to the pitiful little raft; it wouldn't hold half of the people on board. He knew he had signed up for an 'adventure', but he hadn't expected it to start before they had even arrived at their destination, and now here they were: on board a sinking ship, fending off angry Gyarados and beating down some wild Tentacruel.

"Slooooooowbrooo" he heard Johan yawn, flopping down onto the deck, tired from the battle, and tired from just being lazy. Kemf had landed on an aerial that jutted from an upper deck, smoothing down his feathers and shaking his head in that weird bird way. The ice was visibly melting, he could feel the ship sinking , and the Coastguard weren't showing up; so Tim began to panic. Crisis thinking wasn't his strongest point, and his only real idea he had was flying off on Kemf. Maybe Annalyn could come, she looked light…

"As a serious suggestion; anyone that can leave the boat and survive should. Any water types that can hold your weight? Get on them. I, myself have a Fearow that can carry me safely, and a Slowbro that knows Surf, so I plan on abandoning ship ASAP and waiting it out until the Coastguard arrive." He called out to anyone that was listening. This statement also summoned Johan and Kemf from their various positions on the boat to him. He hated to be so pessimistic, but the situation was getting more hopeless by the second. "For those that do not, there is a nice man here with two big Gyarados' and a little raft over there, you can use them"

Aaliyah nodded, then turned to her vaporeon, Dream, and her pikachu, Dante. "Dante, I want you to use Thunderbolt on those tentacruel, Dream, use Helping Hand." With that, Dream and Dante nodded, whipped around, and faced the Tentacruel.

Dream used Helping Hand on Dante, increasing the pikachu`s attacks. Dante then used Thunderbolt to cause the Tentacruel to give out, seeing as they`re part water type, and if they don`t give out, maybe paralyze them.

While Dream and Dante were trying to fight off the Tentacruel, all the while, avoid the wrath of the Gyarados, Memory tugged Aaliyah`s pants leg. He wanted to help. "Hmm..."Aaliyah thought of how Memory could help. "I know!" Aaliyah suddenly had a stroke of inspiration as she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Dante was being squeezed to death by a Tentacruel and Dream`s efforts weren`t helping much.

"Memory, use Nasty Plot, then use Metal Claw. Mmkay?" Aaliyah told her Weavile. Memory nodded, then stimulated his brain to think horrible thoughts to raise his speed attack power. Nasty Plot had come into effect. Then, Memory used Metal Claw to free Dante and weaken the Tentacruel. To finish it off, Aaliyah commanded Dante to use Iron Tail-which he did- then for the trio of pokemon to return to their trainer.

"Okay, guys, we need to get out of here. Dream, I don`t think you`ll be able to hold my weight, so we`re just going to have to ride on one of the Gyarados," Aaliyah stated.

As Radd stared out out the wrath of the Gyarados, he shook his head. "I've already caught one, there's no point in being here anymore!" Radd said as he began to walk of. Girls in peril, pokemon getting the life squeezed out of them, Radd simply walked past this. He decided that anyone stupid enough to get involved into something over there head, then they deserve to die! Plus it'd just mean he'd win by default!

OOC: I didn't think Roisin was really ready for the challenge so I added this to her Sign up (Click the Spoiler.)


"No wonder this Raft was so Cheap! I can barley fit on and it's so uncomfortable!" Roisin shouted to herself as she paddled her dingy little Float towards Rose Island. She didn't even know if she was going the right way; she was drifting helplessly on her little Wooden Raft.

"Glad to see you two are having fun!" She shouted at Yamna and the new addition Corsola. Yanma and the Pink Coral Pokémon were Chasing each other, Yanma was hovering and Corsola was diving and Jumping, trying to grab the Dragonfly. The Weather was Foggy and the slight Drizzle was now nearly a Downpour.

Suddenly a foghorn blasted out of nowhere, making the Pathetic Raft seem like, well a Pathetic Raft. But the Ship wasn't moving, and there was no way a Raft could've caught up with a Ship that gained a great 20 Minutes head start. The Ship was surrounded by a Glacier of Ice but that wasn't worth looking at. Because on the other side of the Ship was a whole gang of Gigantic Serpentine Pokémon Blue in Colour, were savagely attacking the Luxury cruiser!

"Yanma, Corsola, come back here quick!" she called frantically at her two Pokémon Yanma Landed on her Shoulder and she returned Corsola to her Netball. "They'll have everything under control, don't worry," She thought to herself. Panicking she tried to ignore it and rowed faster.

"Yam!" screeched Yanma as they were Rowing for their lives. There was something incoming, a Huge bird Pokémon!

"No! I'm not being attacked by a Bird! Even one as big as this!" She bawled as she rowed Faster, but suddenly the Pokémon landed on the miniature Sail mast.

"AHHHH!!!" The Duo both screamed as the hugged each other, Yanmas' Screams louder. But the Pokémon didn't attack, he just offered his large Talon to the unsuspecting duet. "Huh? a Note?" Roisin asked Fearow who gave a sign of acknowledgement. "Th-Thanks," the Blonde stuttered, relieved that the Fearow was friend; not foe. Suddenly Fearow shot off back to the cruiser too fight.

Roisin inspected the note, she read through it a number of times. She looked up nervously, looked at the Ship and then back at Yanma.

"Yanma, we're going to have to fight," she said calmly. She stood up and Grabbed two Pokéballs from her Bag. She pressed the Enlargement button and threw them into the air. Out of them came a huge Bright White Light, emerging from the Light came Corsola and a Giant Stag Beetle Pokémon, Heracross. Heracross was serious looking and had a bunch of battle scars across his face and Chest.

"Corsola, Time to test your strength, come with us. Heracross, do you reckon you can fly me over to that Ship?" she informed and asked her Pokémon

"Heraa!" the Hercules Beetle shouted as he mounted and allowed Roisin to climb aboard. Without another thought Yanma, Heracross and Roisin took off from the Raft and flew towards the Ship, corsola underneath swimming as fast as she possibly could.

No sooner had they left the ship a Huge Jelly blue fish Pokémon emerged and Destroyed the Raft in one blast. The Tentacruel then dived back underwater without even looking at the remains.

"Quick, Corsola, use Protect!!" Roisin screamed instinctively.

"Cor?" asked the Coral Pokémon as she generated the Green Barrier. Without warning the Huge Tentacruel emerged again, failing to Attack Corsola with his Poison Needles.

"Corsola! Use Power Gem!" Screeched Roisin who had nearly Reached the cruiser.

"Cooooor-Sol- Aaaah!" she bellowed as she unleashed some Glowing white Rocks as if from nowhere, all aimed directly for Tentacruel. Direct hit! Right in the Weak Spot! Tentacruel shrieked in pain and then Submerged.

"Great one Corsola!" Roisin congratulated.

"Hra!" the Bug Pokémon Screeched, he was indicating that they had reached the Ship and had suddenly landed onto the drenched cast iron floor.

"Now to find Annalyn, hey Heracross, that must be the Scyther she mentioned," Roisin informed Yanma and Heracross. the Scyther was currently being returned to its' Pokéball "Heracross, go after that Gyarados!" she yelled pointing at the closest Serpentine Pokémon Quickly she charged to the edge of the ship and shouted the Same thing to her Corsola. "Corsola, Power Gem Please, Heracross use Rock Slide!".

Heracross took off without a word, he approached the Gyarados and delivered an extremely powerful looking Punch and then kneed it under the Chin. Heracross then rammed him in the forehead with his almighty Horn. "Hra!" screeched the Bug-Fighting type Pokémon, he charged back down to the Ice and ripped some up with his Brute strength, he lobbed them at Gyarados exactly like he would when performing a Rock Slide (except there's no Rocks.) Gyarados skilfully dodged the almighty onslaught and slammed Heracross with its' Tail, sending it crashing forcefully into the Water...

The man with the Ditto just walked away from Tim, leaving him standing there growing more annoyed and panicky by the second. He chased after the man, eager to let out some anger;

"Hey! Extreme-o! I don't care if you have no reason to be here, I don't care of your champion of every league ever, that doesn't give you a right to be such a self centred little prick! Come here and help or I'll have my Mightyena tear you some new exit points for your snide comments!" he shouted at the man, reaching for his third pokeball. The girl seemed to have abandoned her raft, and was now flying to them on a Heracross. Tim flexed his injured hand, it seemed heavier than it should be. He shrugged it off and replaced his hat, still pursuing the obnoxious man and his Ditto. The girl arrived on the huge beetle and began to help. She was being useful, actively trying to save these people, unlike this guy.

"Ferow!" Kemf shrieked, the Heracross taking him by surprise. He flapped away nervously, still unsure about the beetle as it engaged one of the Gyarados with a big chunk of ice and its hard head. The large bird glanced down as a Pikachu kicked victoriously at an unconscious Tentacruel. He landed back on the aerial and watched the scene unfold; his trainer seemed to be shouting angrily at another man who was wandering off. He knew everything was going wrong, and he was resigned to the fact that he was going to have to carry his trainer to his destination if (when) this boat sank

"Hey, girl-with-the-Heracross, what happened to the raft, we could have used that?" Tim shouted to the trainer as she watched her Pokemon attack the Gyarados, lobbing chunks of the ice surrounding the ship roughly at the water dragon. He abandoned his argument with the man, not knowing whether or not he rebuffed to his threat, "You wouldn't happen to be a 'Trainer of the Future' would you?" he wondered, trying to distract himself from the growing situation around him. He felt Johan wander up next to him, and stand on his hind legs, surveying the scene in a similar manner to his trainer

"Slooowbro" he sighed as he saw the few remaining Gyarados get hit with the Heracross' projectiles, while the man and his Ditto wandered off somewhere else. This struck the Slowbro as odd, as the man did not look a coward; why would he run away from a fight like this? He cocked his head while he thought, his large blank eyes following the man as he left the deck. He tugged on his trainer's trousers, pointing to the leaving figure and looking confused

"Your guess is as good as mine my lazy pink friend" Tim responded as he knelt down and petted the Slowbro. "Coastguard are taking their sweet time" he muttered, scanning the horizon for any ships or helicopters or even land. There didn't seem to be anything within his field of vision, which was blocked somewhat by the upper decks of the ship. Tim sighed and stood up again, trying to decide what to do; fly off on Kemf, or stay here and try to help everyone? One thing was for sure though; he was going to get that snotty little man with his new Gyarados and his fancy transforming Ditto, and he sure as hell was not going to lose to him in this competition the Hoenn League had set up
