Prologue 1 - A well needed vacation​

After beating the Johto/Kanto Elite 4, Tess and Holly had been given a gift from Holly's father for completing such a task. The gift was 2 tickets for a cruise that happened to be heading towards Dewford, in Hoenn which was their next stop in their Pokémon journey. There were a lot of activities on the boat including swimming, battling, and even contests were held. The Cruise was called S.S. Wind Dancer Cruise; it was meant for people and their Pokémon. It started in Olivine City and ended in Dewford, and the boat was HUGE. In all the excitement, Trainers Tess and Holly were sunbathing, enjoying the smell of the fresh sea, while watching the Pokémon enjoy themselves.

Tess Vandersnatch, Kanto Champion, lays in one of those folding deck chairs on the cruise ship S.S. Wind Dancer. Next to her, her friend Holly Okiinawa was sunbathing as well. Blue eyes scanned the deck of the cruise ship, looking out over her Pokemon. Robin the Pidgeotto was distracting Mango so that Holly's Emolga could cheat at the game of checkers the two were playing. The Marowak would freak out over the cheating, then have a good laugh about it before biting into the flesh of a ripe mango. A little farther away, her shiny Rapidash was hiding off in the shadows, away from everyone else while the tiny Scraggy would try and coax him out a little into the sun. The two were closer than brothers, although Tiramisu - the Scraggy - would say that she had a crush on the Rapidash to anyone who asked about her relationship with him.

Tortuga, the lazy Venusaur, was fast asleep in the sun, his large flower absorbing the sun's nutrients while kids and their Pokemon would climb all over him and use his flower as a source of shade from the heat. Tess's Ampharos, Tyshia, was taking a break from her usual planning to play some volleyball with a few other Pokemon. A playful roar alerted Tess to Meringue playing monster with some kids and Holly's Tyranitar while Undaunted watched from under an umbrella with more of Holly's Pokemon. As Tess leaned back into her chair to soak up some more sun on her pale skin, thinking that this was a very good idea to take this vacation. After all that work, it was nice for her and her Pokemon to take a break and just. Relax.

It seemed all was going well! There was nothing to really worry about. Holly seemed to share the same feeling that Tess was feeling. All was well. Holly sat up a little bit and dug in her bag. She pulled out some water and drank some. She looked over at Amerie, her Gardevoir, sunbathing beside her.

"Want some?" Holly said to Amerie, while shaking the bottle.

"Voir~" Amerie nodded, and grabbed the water. Holly watched as Amerie poured some into Elijah's mouth, a Typhlosion. Holly was laughing a little, in joy, to see her Pokémon so relaxed. They tried so hard, they need this more than I do. She then smiled to herself. She noticed that Elijah was looking at her. He smiled, and continued watching. Holly then got up, adjusted her floral 2 piece, and walked through the Pokémon. She greeted her Pokémon as she walked past them; Amerie, Elijah, Kiwi, Issac, Sophie, Lenore, Theodore, and she stopped when she reacted, her Altaria, Ambrosia. She was looking out into the ocean, seemed to be at complete peace. Holly set a hand on Ambrosia's back as she spoke.

"You okay there, Ambrosia? It's beautiful isn't it?" Holly spoke calmly; she didn't want to scare her.

"Tariaa~." She seemed to agree.

"Getting hungry? I am, I think we are all going to eat soon."

"Altaria taria!" Ambrosia was happy, she was getting hungry herself. Holly was walking away, but Ambrosia followed. She went towards the pool, where Lenore was sitting in, taking up most of the room. Holly sat, and stuck her feet in. Her dragon Pokémon, came and sat next to her, and they both laughed at Theodore, Holly's Tyranitar, and Tess's Woobat playing with the kids. Theodore would rawr at the kinds and stomp all around them, while Meringue flew around trying to 'attack' him. They seemed to be having as much fun as the giggling kids all around them. Holly looked back at Tess and shouted.

"Hay, I think we are going to be eating soon right? Do you wanna swim for a bit?"

Another day in Dewford. It's been 18 years and life on Dewford has been the same alot of the time. Dane Keaton lived in a rather small house right off the shore of Dewford Town so he had a good view of the ocean whenever he woke up. Dewford was never exactly a very active town so Dane found himself oversleeping alot of the time. Not this time. He heard the sound of a large boat that woke him up instantly.

"Wah!" Dane yelled out as he looked around for the sound. Snype wasn't in his room. Probably wandering around the house or went out for a walk. As well as he knew his partner, He was very unpredictable. Dane looked out his window and noticed a very large boat heading toward the island. It was the S.S Wind Dancer. The boat would often make a route to Dewford so Vacationers could relax. Being one of the southernmost islands in the world, it made since if some people wanted to relax here but other then that, there really wasn't much to do... well... unless the crazies at Dewford hall counted.

There tended to be a few tourists that would go to the Pokemon hall in order to make certain sayings become "Trendy" And it always seems to work. Alot of info in Dewford spreads to the rest of hoenn. Heck, Dane wouldn't be surprised if a picture of himself was somewhere in Hoenn.

Dane was tired... and he wasn't exactly up for looking for Snype in this condition. He was an expert at hide and seek. Rubbing his eyes, He let both Able and Sheen out of their pokeballs. Able zipped around the room extremely excited and Sheen leaned against the wall waiting for a moment to train a bit more.

"Listen guys, I'll be taking a quick shower. Why don't you two go look for that Troublemaker Snype eh?" Dane said to both of them. The two Pokemon agreed and rushed out the door, while Dane headed to his bathroom to shower off before starting his day.

It was Ridiculously sunny in Dewford this morning. Sheen put his hand above his face from all of the sunlight while Able zoomed all over the place looking for Snype. Sheen Sharpened up his claw by scratching a nearby palm tree, which already had several scratch marks on it. At this rate, Sheen would have to find a new "Punching bag" if the tree fell down.

Able flew all around Sheen to get his attention. "Jask! Ninjask! [Hey Hey hey hey hey! Sheen Sheen Sheen!"] Able said extremely quickly. Sheen tried to catch the annoying bug but failed due to her intense speed.

"Zang! [WHAT?!" Sheen Roared.

Able flew over to the Dewford Port. There was an oddly out of place Barrel there... Snype. Sheen walked over to the Barrel and looked down inside of it. Snype looked up and gave off a large smile.

"Sable...Sable! [Hello Stranger! Forget you saw me here! Run along!]" Snype said to Sheen. Sheen reached into the barrel and grabed onto the fur on the back of Snype's neck, pulling him out.

[Snype... What are you doing back here...?] Sheen said to the tiny Pokemon. Able zoomed all around Snype, extremely happy.

"[Kehehehe... For your information, theres a boat full of newcomers on their way. I'm gonna give them a good scare! My way of saying welcome to Hoenn!"] Snype said with a large smile.

Sheen sighed and put Snype back into the Barrel. He was looking forward to training a bit more with him but he would have to deal with Able while Snype did his own thing. Sheen put the lid of the barrel back on so Snype could stay hidden. ["You owe me for this Snype. For leaving me hanging and leaving me with the hyper girl here."] Sheen said with a dissapointed look on his face.

Able froze and quickly responded to Sheen. ["HEYHEYHEY! ANNOYING?! WAZZAT MEAN EH?! I'm a speedy little bug I can't help it hey you wanna spar a bit I wanna train I like fighting lets fight fight fight fight fight..."] Able kept going on and on and on about training with Sheen. He sighed and moved to a far off area of the beach where the two could Train in peace.

Back at Dane's house, Dane had just gotten out of the shower and dressed up in a pair of brown jean shorts and a blue T shirt. He put on his goggles and set them into UV mode so they would work like sunglasses. After walking out he took another look out to the sea and checked the boat. Nobody would care if he got a closer look... Dane pressed a button on the side of his specs and switched them into a scope view. Zooming on on the boat, He couldn't see much from the angle he was at. It was the S.S. Wind Dancer alright. A large group of people were on the deck but he couldn't really see anyone familiar yet.

He turned off the scope on his goggles and looked around the beach. Sheen and Able had been training together. Sheen had gotten frustrated with Able always flying around him but Able looked like she was having the time of her life. But what else is new. Snype was still nowhere to be seen. Looking at the footprints below him, He noticed Sheen's footprints heading toward an out of place Barrel near the docks...

Dane simpily smiled as he figured out what Snype had planned. As the other pokemon relaxed, Dane sat down in a small folding Chair and watched his pokemon Train, keeping an eye on the ship as well.

"Hay, I think we are going to be eating soon right? Do you wanna swim for a bit?"

Tess opened her eyes when she heard her friend calling out to her, inviting her for a swim. "Coming!" She called back, getting up out of her chair and heading over to the pool, fixing her silver trimmed navy blue swimsuit. She sat next to her friend, with her legs dipped in the water. Meringue noticed them and flew over, attaching herself to Lenore's neck and using her wings to make herself look like a bowtie around the Milotic's neck.

"Wooooooooooooo!~" The Woobat chirped, laughing a strange Pokemon-laugh. Tess smiled at her Pokemon before jumping at the sound of Tortuga behind her. His low voice still had a hint of drowsiness behind it as little kids no more than five years of age climbed all over his back. But he didn't care. He was nudging Tess in the way he did when he had a scratch on his head but he just couldn't scratch it.

"Lazy little bugger." She mumbled, scratching the Venusaur under the chin the way he liked. The Venusaur let out an odd rumbling purr that almost made Tess kneel over in laughter. "Alright, off you go Tortuga." She gave him one last pat on the head before sliding under the water and swimming about a little bit.

Tess almost ran over, and joined her in the pool. Holly moved into the pool, water reaching her waist. After watching Tess prance on over, she looked up to hear Tess's Woobat, Meringue imitating a bow tie on Lenore, and Holly and Tess both smiled. Lenore, Holly's shiny Milotic laughed, and posed for the children that were around. Holly saw this and called out to her.

"Work it guurrrrrl~" some of the kids laughed and were enjoying the sight of the super rare Milotic posing. Holly walked deeper into the water, closer to Lenore. She glanced over at Tess, scratching her Venusaur. She swam a little, not getting her hair wet again, since they were going to be arriving soon. Then a voice came over the boat intercom.

"Passengers and Pokémon, there is 2 hours until arrival in Dewford. Again, 2 hours until Dewford. That is all." A man's' voice called over the speaker. Holly thought that should maybe get back, if they want to have enough time to get their things together as well as eat. She walked back out of the water, calling out to her Pokémon.

"Guise, lets head back to the room and eat!" Holly returned all of her Pokémon to their pokeballs, except Kiwi, he was the smallest of her Pokémon, so he wouldn't be in the way of other passengers. She then walked back to her chair and grabbed her bag, and looked at Kiwi who was on her head.

"You're hungry, aren't you Kiwi~" She reached a hand up, and petted his head.

"Emolga!" he cheered at her.

The young Champion heard a loud voice announce something above the water, but she didn't understand a single word of it. She bobbed up out of the water in front of where Meringue was striking poses with the shiny Milotic. The announcement rang one more time for the arrival of Dewford. "So that's what it was." Tess mumbled to herself, looking around. "Hey brothers and sisters! Time to be getting out munch on back at the cabin."

Mango finally got fed up with Kiwi's cheating and had flipped the checkers board over and onto the deck. Tess climbed out of the pool and returned all of her Pokemon except for Meringue, who was now perched on for of her soaked hair. Tess would've let Tiramisu stay out of her Pokeball, but the Scraggy would not stand to be outside of her Pokeball if Gamzee was not with her. It didn't bother the trainer that much, seeing that there would be plenty of time to let the love-struck Pokemon and her crush run around once they docked on Dewford.

She led the way to their shared cabin, a two bedroom room with two master bathrooms and a large dining room where even Holly's twenty foot tall Lenore could eat her food in comfort. "Hey Holly, you want to order us some food while I let our Pokemon out then go take a shower?" Tess asked, grabbing the Pokeballs and doing what she just said for both of their Pokemon. "Be good you guys. Tortuga, keep an eye on them."

"Saauuuurrrr." Tortuga yawned, obviously not going to be keeping an eye on them, but taking a nap instead. With Kiwi and Robin around, trouble was bound to be about. She shrugged her slender shoulders and headed off towards her bathroom as Holly ordered up the food. She ran the water and stepped in, quickly washing her hair and body and stepping out to get dressed.

They almost ran back to their large cabin, their stomachs yelling at them. They finally got in, and Kiwi was still on her head. Holly almost forgot how huge the room they got was….room? I meant to say really nice apartment.

"Hey Holly, you want to order us some food while I let our Pokémon out then go take a shower?" Tess called from the living room.

"Yeah that's fine!" she yelled back as she walked into the living room, now filled with their Pokémon. She looked around.

"Okay guise. What do you wanna eat?" Hallie sat down in a couch with all of the smallish Pokémon around her. She read the menu that the ship had listing all the food that was being served that day. She marked down how many things of which foods they all wanted, but still being reasonable. Kiwi was now sitting in her lap, in between the menu and Holly's torso. He would occasionally point at things and the pictures.

"Should I just order the whole menu?!?! Jeez Kiwi!" Holly laughed at Kiwi still poking at the laminated menu. She then picked up the phone and ordered.
"Okay, well it's gonna take them an hour or so to get all that food made, so you all have to sit tight!" their Pokémon posse all confirmed. She then looked at her Pokémon.

"Elijah and Amerie I trust you guise to watch over the Pokémon! I need to get ready for arrival! Oh and if the food comes early, just set it on the dining table in that room okay?" Holly said while pointing into the room in front of them. The Pokémon in charge nodded, while Holly went to shower and prepare for Dewford. All the Pokémon just sat around talking, sleeping in someone's case, or playing some sort of game. Then Kiwi had a great idea. He was still sitting on the couch, then he called Robin over, and they began to jump. Robin's claws began to tear up the cushion as they both were laughing and having fun. Amerie saw this, and ran right over.

"GARDEVOIR! Voir, GARDE! VOIR VOIR!( What are you guise doing?!?! You are tearing up the seat!!!)" She waved her arms and pointed to the area underneath Robin. Elijah soon followed and was sweating a little bit over the large hole in the cushion. They stopped jumping, and looked also. Everyone was freaking about a little bit, except Tortuga; who was fast asleep.

"Ty…typhosion! Sion! Ty….ty…(oh…..what are we going to do! If Holly sees this….)" Elijah was worried. But then thought of something and he motioned Robin off, and he flipped the cushion, exposing a fresh, not ripped side.

"Gardevoir…" She knew that it wasn't the best thing to do, but it would do for now. Meanwhile, Holly was done taking her shower; she didn't really need to do much because she didn't get her hair wet. She went through her suitcase and grabbed a peach spring dress, and some white sandals. She changed and tweaked her appearance before stepping out into the living room. Just when she got out, the doorbell rang.

"FOOOOOOD." All of her Pokémon were happy to see it arrived. They got a lot of food, but there were some BIG Pokémon in their teams, with even larger stomachs. They ordered a large variety of things; fruit, hard boiled eggs, Pokémon biscuits, and even some meat for Elijah. Holly shouted to Tess.

"Tess! The food is here! Get your butt out here!" all of the Pokémon began to feast, if was very weird to see such a nice room be cultured with Pokémon of all different types munching, and some even on top of the table.

Able kept on training with Sheen as he did his best at trying to hit her. [Hey Comon your too slow hey hey ya can't hit me! Comon Hehehehehe~] She taunted. Sheen was furious at the Ninjask and was steaming. It was good excercise but Sheen was never going to lay a finger on Able, even if he was trying. Then Able go distracted as she looked at the boat in the distance. It was very close to the shore and Able wanted to see what it was like on the boat... just for a little bit.

Dane had fallen asleep in the sun, leaving Able the opportunity to have a bit of fun. ["Hey Sheen! I'm gonna play with some people on the boat boat boat! Bye!"] Before Sheen could reply, Able already zoomed off across the ocean and onto the boat. Able was going to get herself in alot of trouble... if they caught her at least... She would be fine.

["FUNFUNFUN!!!!~~"] The Ninjask exclaimed as it flew around the boat. The docks were cleared out. Everybody seemed to have headed to their rooms to unpack. ["Slow boat! Slow boat! Move fasterfasterfaster!!!!!"] Able thought to herself. She couldn't help herself. She decided to fly on inside to see just how special this slow boat was.

One room caught Able's interest. It was the fanciest looking of the bunch... And so much pokemon were inside! They were all eatting food... like royalty! A feast! ["FOOD FOOD FOOD!"] Able screached as she slipped through a slightly cracked open door.

The tiny bug buzzed around the room like an annoying little fly looking at all of the food on the table. It decided to talk with all of the giant pokemon. ["HI HI HI HI!!!!"] The little Ninjask said as it buzzed around the room and stole a small biscuit from the table. ["Ohhh! What areyoudoing Whatareyoudoing??????"] Able said to all of the pokemon as it buzzed all around them. Without even waiting for a reply, Able flew toward a female trainer that was wearing a peach spring dress. It stayed still and stared into her eyes.

["...PRETTY PRETTY!!!!"] Able said flying all around her, excitedly buzzing around the whole room. ["HEY! Catch me Catch me!!!!"] Able taunted all of the pokemon.

"I'm coming! Hold your Rapidash!" Tess called, coming out of the bathroom in her usual blue jeans and sneakers. This time she had on a festive floral tank top that she had bought at the cruise ship boutique, but her usual black leather jacket was nowhere to be found. Quiet frankly, it was too hot to be wearing a jacket and it was almost too hot to be wearing blue jeans. When she walked into the living room, she got a look from Gamzee.

"Rap! Dash Rapi!" Gamzee complained, and Tess petted the Rapidash's nose and handed him an apple.

"Sorry Gamz, it's just how the saying goes." Tess sat down and began to feast on the variety of food that her friend had ordered. There were tons of it. Probably more than what their Pokemon could eat. "Geez, Holly, what did you do? Let Kiwi order the food?" She accused as Robin swooped down out of the air and snatched the fruit right out of the blonde trainer's hand. Her blue eyes pierced into the Pidgeotto's, but that didn't stop him from munching on the fruit without a single look of guilt.

Meringue was offering some of her Pokemon biscuit to Amerie, and the blue furry bat Pokemon was looking a little worried, as if they had done something that they shouldn't have while Holly and Tess were away in the showers. But Tess let it slide, because right now, a Ninjask had burst into their room and was buzzing up a storm. The Ninjask was even picking up food and eating it while it flew around. The only time it stopped was when it was captivated by Holly's amazing looks. But that only lasted not even half a second and the annoying Bug Pokemon was back to flying around the room.

The buzzing sound awoke the monster of a Pokemon Tess called Tortuga. Lazy red eyes followed the Ninjask as she zoomed about until a large pink tongue flung out when she flew right in front of his large mouth. Tortuga caught the Bug Pokemon and pulled it back into his mouth, before closing his eyes again and continuing his dosing.

Holly saw Tess come out of the bathroom, saying hold your Rapidash.

"My Rapidash? You're the one who has one." She then stuck her tongue out at her, before biting into a piece of star fruit.

"I told you, you would look good in floral." Holly glanced at her fellow trainer as she accused her for ordering too much food.

"Well more is better than not enough." Right when Holly said this, Robin, flew by and snatched her apple. She pouted, but she didn't really care, she had her pasta to eat. She saw that her Pokémon and Tess's Pokémon were helping each other; a smile crept across her face, but disappeared quickly when a bug Pokémon flew into the room.

"GAHHH!" Holly never liked bug Pokémon, even though her father had a Butterfree, that Pokémon was nice. But this one, well, it was bugging her. She watched fly around, some of her Pokémon ducking, clutching onto their food. It stopped for a few seconds just staring at her; this made Holly a little bit uncomfortable.

"Creeper!" she shouted at the bug as it flew around some more before being caught by Tortuga. Holly laughed; since that's really the only helpful thing Tortuga has done this whole trip; that and sleeping. She continued to eat, giving a hardboiled egg to Kiwi. He grabbed it and took mouthfuls of it. He looked like a hamster.

"Hehehe, you're so cute, you need to slow down buddy." She patted him on the head.

Able was having a blast. So much fun to be in a boat with so much space! The one girl called her a creeper which Able could only giggle to herself at. FUN! She wasn't going to be caught at this rate. ["Haha! Can't catch meeee!"] She said flying around at blinding speeds. Unfortunately she wasn't paying attention as she ended up flying into the mouth of a Venusaur on "accident". It's tongue was stuck out and cause the Ninjask to get caught in it.

["HEY! YOU CHEATED! CHEATER! NO FAIR! LEMMEOUT LEMMEOUT LEMMEOUT!!!!!"] Able screeched as it flew all around the insides of the Venusaur's mouth in an attempt to get out. It was disgusting in there and all of the saliva was not helping. It started poking all around its mouth to stimulate some reaction so she could fly out and make it back to his master. Dane would not be happy if he found out the Able ended up as somebodies lunch.

["I'm too talkative to be eaten! I'll keep talking through your digestion! I'm not good for you! Don't eat me! Do you know whats in us? pleasepleasepleasepleaseeeeee~"] The Ninjask begged from the insides of the Venasaur's mouth. It constantly kept on blabbering nonsense, which would be heard as very annoying crys when heard by humans. Able was trained to put up a fight and by hell it sure was gonna put one up if she had to... but not inside of a Pokemon. She would end up killing the Venasaur if she went off slashing the insides of it.

All able could do was continue to move around the Venusaur's mouth in an effort to get out safely.

Even from inside the giant Pokemon's mouth, the buzzing of the Ninjask could be heard. It seemed like Tess was going to have to intervene with this matter to get her Venusaur to spit out the bug. "Tortuga, spit her out right now! She could be someone else's Pokemon on this cruise ship. Don't you remember that little girl that you let take a nap on your head? I'm pretty sure that's her Ninjask and I know you don't want to make her sad by eating that bug."

Okay, so that last part was a lie, but it worked. While Mango was bent over in laughter at the whole crazy fest that had just went down, Tortuga opened his mouth to let the bothersome Ninjask fly out. Then he obviously went back to napping, like he had been doing the entire trip.

"I'm glad that's take care of." Tess sighed, watching the bug Pokemon while stealing away some of the pasta that Holly had ordered. Soon the boat would be docking and then they could be off the boat and in the land of Hoenn! The thought of meeting new trainers to battle excited Tess and made her smile in between bites of food.

Able was spat out of the Venusaur, all overed in Saliva. ["EWWWW! NastyNastyNasty!"] She screeched as she continued buzzing around. Eventually she dashed right out of the room and began to fly back to her master.

Dane woke up as he heard the ship near the docking bay. Finally some activity. With all of the people on the boat, He would sure be happy to battle them... or maybe play a few pranks on the newcomers. Sheen tugged on Dane's T shirt and pointed over to the area of sand that he was battling Able. She must have ran off again. Knowing her, She was going to bring alot of trouble back to Dane. And speak of the devil, There she was. Flying as fast as she could to her master. Able smelled... kinda funky.

"Able! Where the heck where you? You smell horrible!" Dane said to her. Able buzzed all around and skid around the ocean to get the smell off of her. Wherever she was, she sure got into a tight situation.

Sheen looked at Able, dissapointed. ["Alright what happened on that boat?"] Sheen asked.

Able happily buzzed around cheerfully. ["Trainers! Big Pokemon! Royalty! Preety trainers! Food! Mean Venusaur!"] Able exclaimed.

Sheen was confused. Royalty? What kind of trainers would have that kind of privilege? Some rich folk or something? Sheen shrugged it off and sat down on the sand to take a break.

The Ninjask got out of there as quickly as possible it seemed, which was good.

"Damn bugs." Holly grumbled to herself as she finished her pasta quite quickly. She was excited. She waited around for a little bit, then decided to put some jewelry on. I wanna look good for all of the people in Dewford, maybe there will be some cute trainers. BAHAH yeah right. She thought to herself. The life style that they all had wasn't her cup of tea. She preferred city boys, more like Goldenrod. She smiled to herself as she touched up her makeup, and walked back out into the dining room. The announcer voice came back on to the intercom.

"We are now 10 minutes away from dewford. Please prepare for docking. Again, 10 minutes until dewford." 10 minutes!?!

"OH YEAH! Its so close! We have to pack! Oh and guise if you are still eating, continue, we will tell you when." Holly then scurried of to her room. It was large, just like the rest of the cabin, and it had a clean white fresh look to it. Amerie had seemed to follow her.

"Garde, gardevoir, voir. (Do you need help?)" Amerie gave her a smile.

"Uhh sure! Could you hand me my boots over there?" she pointed over to the other side of the bed. Holly then began putting everything back into her lavender suitcase set. She definatly had more clothes with her than Tess had. While stuffing her stuff in her bags, she found a red floral scarf.

"Do you wanna put this on? You can be fancy when you get off the boat!" Amerie agreed, and tied it around her neck. They both smiled and headed out to meet the others. It looked like everyone was done eating, but the table was a mess. Holly didn't worry about it, she did have to clean it, thank Arceus. She grabbed her white trainer bag and put Lenore, Sophie, Issac, and Ambrosia back in their Pokeballs. She usually had Amerie, Elijah, Theodore, and Kiwi out, since they were the most social, and Milotic is very large, she didn't want to have Lenore struggle to avoid running into other passengers. She turned to Tess.

"So! Do you wanna head out the deck? We are close enough to see Dewford pretty well I think!"

Tess watched as Holly and her Gardevoir went off to her room to pack. It wouldn't take too long for Tess herself to pack because she had way fewer clothes than Holly. The fashion police were almost always around. Once, Tess had decided to wear a red t-shirt and brown shorts and Holly had forced her to change into something more tasteful right at that very moment. Luckily, she was still at home and it wasn't that big of a deal, but her friend was still really into fashion. Tess had learned a few things even from the Johto champion, but all of them were pretty much which colors you could wear together and which ones you just could NOT wear together at ALL.

She got off her lazy bum and went to her room, Gamzee following her with Tiramisu riding on his back as usual. The Rapidash was still uncomfortable with being around other Pokemon. He had been around Tess's Pokemon enough that he wasn't afraid of them, but some of Holly's Pokemon still worried him. Like her Milotic and possibly Theodore. Which was kinda understandable considering he hadn't been around them that long.

"Rapidash...?" Gamzee was offering to carry Tess's bags for her. His trainer smiled at him and patted his neck after finishing packing.

"Thanks Gamz, you can carry them if you want to." She said, and he nodded, happy to help the one person who had helped him those many years ago. She set the bags on his back and Tiramisu held them in place, a dopey smile spread across her face like always when she was with her crush. The trio left the room and went back to the main living room. Tess returned Tortuga, Undaunted, Robin, and Meringue - who was tired from the restful day, odd right? While Mango climbed onto Gamzee's back with Tiramisu, Tyshia was waiting at the door, holding it open for them.

"So! Do you wanna head out the deck?" Holly asked, and Tess nodded, already way ahead of her friend as she traveled out onto the open deck again. Gamzee, being a good foot and a half shorter than most Rapidash - a defect from being bred in a Pokemon Mill - had no problem traveling through the crowds of people flocking on the deck. Except for the problem of him being extremely wary of them, but with Tess and Tiramisu right next to him, he made it to the rail of the boat easily.

"Hey! I can see Dewford!" Tess exclaimed, and got a 'no duh' look from Tyshia but she ignored it, taking in the sight of the town that was slowly getting closer.

Dane stood up from his chair and stretched his arms up into the sky. The boat was about... ten minutes away from Dewford or so. Dane was interested in getting to know some fellow trainers that may have been traveling on the boat. There were bound to be trainers with pokemon from all sorts of regions. It got Dane a bit excited as he was willing to show off how well he trained his Pokemon to other foreigners.

Snype got bored of waiting in a barrel and decided to just go back to Dane. His figure dissolved into a pool of shadow as he used shadow sneak to crawl around in the form of a small shadow on the ground. He then popped up next to Dane.

"Snype you know I've gotten used to that old trick. Why don't you do that to the newcomers on the boat or something?" Dane said to him. Snype gave off a sinister chuckle and considered the idea. Now that the boat was close enough, Dane could use the scope feature on his goggles to get a better look at who was on.

Dane was at a loss for words when he saw one... no TWO champions, both from the Kanto and Johto region respectively. What were they going for Hoenn as well or something? There was a gym here... but perhaps it was just for vacationing. The fact that Dane had an opprotunity to meet two champions in one place was exciting. The idea of battling them would be even more fun. Looking over to the far off dock, Dane sat back down and waited for the boat to arrive.

Able was just as excited as she was zipping around the whole island waiting for all of the new people to arrive. Sheen was about to bug Snype a little about doing a bit of sparring but Snype decided to tease his buddy by constantly using Shadow Sneak.

"Jeez!" Holly yelled as Tess almost ran out the door of their cabin. Holly and her Pokémon raced down the hallway, trying not to run into people. They reached the deck and Holly was in awe. It was pretty, as the sun was shining down, and the crisp clean air blew through her golden locks once again.

"Hey! I can see Dewford!" Tess shouted, Holly agreed. It was a nice little town. Holly had never been to Dewford before, even though she had been to Hoenn. Since they were so close, they could see a grouping of small houses with blue roofs. It seemed that the whole island's foundation of was sand. Lovely. Even for a trainer that traveled a lot, Holly hated the outdoors. She liked walking on paths, but hated going through tuff terrain. Holly saw some people and Pokémon walking around on the island, and saw that it had a Pokecenter, and a gym; but no mart.

"I can't see a Pokemart! It seems we are going to have to stock up on supplies in the next town. Elijah was enjoying the sun, he was almost hopping up and down, and fire was blazing out of his back. Amerie's eyes were sparkling at the sight of a new adventure, while Theodore was looking rather peaceful watching Kiwi fly around in excitement. The 10 minutes to arrive were the longest 10 minutes of Holly's life.

"MOVE FASTER YOU DARN BOAT!" Holly seemed to be shouting out at the ocean, but Holly's Pokémon were eager also and shouted with her. She then began to hold on to the railing as the boat came up to the small island. The intercom was speaking again.

"Passengers, we have arrived at Dewford! Please follow a single file line. Thank you for choosing the S.S. Wind Dancer Cruise, and have a wonderful day!"

"MOVE FASTER YOU DARN BOAT!" Dane heard in the distance. It was one of the Champions that he noticed earlier. He noticed after using the Scopes again. This time he had a good look at both of them and confirmed that they were the real things. Darn it why did they have to be so good looking? Dane stopped using his goggle scopes. He didn't want to be considered some kind of creeper... even though he was tempted to do that just to creep folks out. A weirdo with goggles indeed.

Snype noticed the boat reach the docks and gave off a large smile but that quickly changed when Sheen whacked him on the side of the head. ["Hey! Can't you take a break for one second? I wanna see the new people!"] Snype told Sheen. Sheen simply sighed as a response.

Able quickly recognized the the two girls from before. They seemed nice enough but Able wasn't interested in seeing that Venusaur again. Nonetheless, Able flew over the boat to give the two champions a warm welcome. Once she got close enough, she buzzed around both of them, obviously being more careful not to end up in somethings mouth.

["HIHIHI! Visitors Visitors! Pretty ones! Pretty ones! Rememberme Rememberme?"] Able exclaimed as she kept her distance this time.

Nina woke with a start in her cabin to the announcement of the ships arrival in Dewford. She scrambled out of bed, upset at herself for sleeping so late. She scurried around the room, packing up her belongings. Her Persian raised it's head and yawned, before settling back down. "Aw, I'm sorry boy, but it's almost time to go!" She said, taking out his pokeball and returning him to it. She returned the rest of her pokemon to their balls and put them in her bag, before packing up the rest of her belongings. She pulled up the blinds of her window, seeing all the passengers lining up to exit the ship.

She jumped up and ran out the door and along the deck. Her Charizard, who she had let fly around and play with the other pokemon flew next to her, landing gracefully. "Oh, hello." She said, laughing as she jumped at the large pokemon's arrival. "How are you?" The pokemon merely tilted it's head and nuzzled her shoulder, practically pushing her over. She laughed again. "We'll be arriving soon, love, so it's time to go back in your pokeball." She said before returning the creature to it's pokeball.
Afraid of being late, she ran along the deck and straight into Tess and Holly, dropping her things everywhere. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, trying to gather everything up.
