Rarule went out onto the dock and peered over the side, and took a deep breath. The sea was exceptionally great today, "But like they say. When something is this good, it must be the calm before a storm." He heard a his pidgey in the back and turned to see what was the matter. Gust was looking out into the water ahead, flapping his wings hysterically. Rarule rushed around the side and towards the cockpit. He was shocked then scared. There was a pirate ship, bigger than his at that. Alongside the ship swam a Gyrados, looking as mean and vicious as any Gyrados would. ot only were the pirates his problem, but a lapras carrying a man who obviously was a pirate hunter aboard was swimming towards the other ship.

"Pirates and a pirate hunter?" He laughed aloud, almost enough where anyone would hear him. "This day is starting to get interesting!" He called for his marshtomp Marine. "Gust! Marine! This is the moment we've been waiting for! To test our might against real pirates! Now, time to do a little seek and destroy!" Marine jumped into the water and Rarule jumped in o top of him. Maine wasn't exactly a big pokemon to swim on, but as fast as it was, it looked as if rarule was surfing atop a Marshtomp surfing board. Gust folowed ot far behind, keeping low to the ground so as not to be seen. "We'll attack on the other side, so the pirate hunter can lure them to him while we catch them off gaurd."
 
"Ah, what a boring day."

Haru said out loud, mostly to himself as he strolled through the market, where tons of people seemed to be setting up shop to show off their goods of the day. This part of the city thrived, filled with tons of people looking to make a quick buck, so naturally crime was to be abound.

However, today wasn't the case.

As Officer Haru kept walking and looking around, he noticed nothing in particular at all. No thefts, no getaways, no nothing. Everyone was acting fine, going about their daily business. On a routine day, Haru would have expected to see two or three minor thefts, mostly just a piece of fruit or something by some random kid, nothing much. But, like it was mentioned earlier, no such luck.

"Hey, Yuki, go check that guy out."


Haru commanded softly to his Snorunt, who had ween waltzing along quietly beside of him. The small Pokemon nodded, running before and darting in between people's feet, trying to keep its small eyes on a man cloaked entirely in black, who, in Haru's eyes, looked suspicious.
 
Kiki looked up to see what was going on. The noise had disrupted her work that she was desperate to finish which included repainting the ship after cleaning and naming her. Diane and Kat looked over as well but Peeky kept working as she knew what was most important.
Standing up Kiki put a hand above her eyes to shade the sun and immidiatly noticed the Garados and Ship.
"That's no ordinary fishing ship." Kiki said suspiceously. However she disregarded it getting back to work.
"Diane, Kat C'mon. It's none of our concern for now." Kiki comanded as kindly as she could. Kat nodded and Diane bowed.
 
The market of the huge port town bustled with activity. But, within the dark, narrow passageways of the back alley system, there was dirty work afoot. A man, large in stature, was repeatedly striking a young boy, of about 19 in the stomach. He grinned, and threw him to the ground, chuckling evilly.

"Hmph. Stupid kid. You think you're tough? Think you've got what it takes to quit Team Rocket? Think again, runt."

The man gave another chuckle, looking away towards the sun. The boy clutched his ribs, feeling them tenderly. He was certain one was broken, but his senses were fading fast - he wasn't sure if it was accurate. The boy coughed involuntarily, which brought the large man's attention back to him.

"The great Giovanni has no tolerence for deserters.."

He murmured, skulking back towards the crippled young man laying on the decrepit streets, murky and damp. With the last remainder of his strength, the boy lashed out with his leg, bringing the large man crumbling to the floor. In a flash, the boy was up and running, as fast as he could manage. He could hear the rhinocerous of a man rumble behind him.

"Argh! That's the last mistake you'll ever make, you little brat!"

Adrenaline rushed through the boy as he shot through the alleyways, darting in and out of the narrow winding passages, paying no attention to his serious injuries. He ducked underneath a stack of crates, and waited, breath held until he heard the thundering footsteps of the lackey wander away. He stood up, and the adrenaline drained from his blood. He staggered through the rest of the alley, and into the street, where he collapsed against a building, unconscious.
 
Feather didn't really notice what was going on in port- it was never a good idea to pay more attention to what was going on, on shore, than on your own boat. He did, however, see the kid on the lapras coming for the Corsola, and, not entirely sure whether he was recognized and being chased down for something, or just needed to give directions, he waved, lazily, in the other boy's direction. As he lowered his hand, he made a certain signal with the fingers, and Leviathan started to circle slowly towards the surface, ready to defend the ship, if need be.
 
Mike stopped waving and then whispered to his lapars's ear, "Get close to the ship and if attacked prepare to to fight back with a Tunderblot attack. Hopefully we won't have to attack and just get a few things like food."

Lapras nodded and started to swim slowly towards the ship. Mike and Char stare at the ship and MIke just nodded. He hope that he could at least get some directions and some food. He got close to the ship and yelled, "Ahoy. We come in peace. All I ask for is some directions and some food for a few days. I willing to pay if wanted."
 
gust lifted Rarule onto the ship by his arm. This ship definitely belonged to a pirate. "Now, why isn't there any chaos happening?" He edged across a wall and peered through the side. the pirates were looking down the side, probably at the pirate hunter. He could just hear what the hunter was saying. "Food! That's all he wants! Oops." He turned around to hide from the pirates. his outburst had revealed his presence and he had to react. "Gust, Marine get ready!"
 
Kiki and her pokemon had finished cleaning in good time. She now decided to work on the paint.
"Peeky you and Kat get to work on painting the shipitself. I'll paint the name and Diane you can take a break." She commanded with a smile. Peeky and Kat nodded grabbign the purple paint and going to paint the sides while Kiki got onto the dock and began to paint the name. She had had one in mind and had the light blue paint ready as well as sails to match that her and her mother had been working on at home. So she began to paint.

Meanwhile Diane swam over a bit to check on the commotion the sun gleaming on her crown as she watched. She was curious by nature as well and so got as close as she could without anyone really noticing and payed close attention.
 
Slowly but surely, consciousness arose throughout Julian. One by one, his senses returned to him. Everything struck him at once - the glaring sun, blinding him, the salty sea, overpowering his nose and his taste buds, but most of all, the pain. Oh, the pain. Stabs of uncomprehensible pain shot through him like slowly twirling hot knives. He looked into a murky puddle to get a better look at himself..

A black eye, with several cuts around his right cheek. A busted lip, and a nasty cut along his forehead. Suddenly, he clutched at his ribcage. A mindblowing agony rocketed around his abdomen, taunting him and mocking him with pain each time he drew breath. He leaned back against the brick building upon which he found himself, his eyes closed, his face contorted with discomfort. It was quite unlike anything he had ever experienced before. His arms dropped to his sides, which weakly grasped one of his pokeballs. The small sphere grew suddenly, and a glaring light erupted from it... and Julian was unconscious once more.

When he awoke, he found himself not in the dingy alley of before, but what seemed to be a sort of park. He had no shirt, but he had a brace of bandages wrapped around his midriff. It was about that time that he noticed the girl. The first thing that came to his mind was how beautiful she was. She had blue eyes, but not of the intensity that most modern women had. It was a gentle, calming sort of color, like a quiet sea after a raging storm. Her glossy strawberry hair was done back in a neat pony-tail, and the expression she wore was one of complete concentration. As he pried his eyes away from the beautiful girl, he noticed something. The pain was gone. Who was this woman, who of her own free will, decided to help him in his time of need? As he pondered these things, he feigned sleep, so as not to alarm the girl. However, fatigue took over, and Julian found he was no longer struggling to remain "asleep." Soon, he was awake no longer.
 
Feather smiled at the kid on the lapras; a genial smile that didn't have much real heart behind it. "Sure, come up, he said, glancing over his shoulder and catching sight of the other trainer, behind him. He stopped half-way in his signal to Leviathan to stop his advance, and then motioned for the gyrados to continue spiralling up. "Oops, one second. Gotta clean up the decks real quick." He turned around the face the offending trainer, turning his back on lapras-and-charmander boatman but leaving Tails keeping a wide amber eye on him. "What exactly are you doing?"
 
Rarule couldn't calm his heart from pounding out of his chest. He didn't see how he could ge out of here. "I..." ****it! What did he get himself into. "I'm here to join your crew." Gust and Marine both jumped in shock. "Yeah, that's right. I'm here to join the legendary Feather's crew mates. I tracked you down personally just to ollow under your command." He said with a bow. 'Yeah Right.'
 
Mike just nodded and smile. He guess he might as well wait since he can't just get up there. Char just shugged and looked Persian that was keeping an eye on them. MIke didn't mind the cat pokemon too much but he knew that if they were going to start anything then they wait till after they get fed.

Mike then thought he heard the name Feather. He knew the name suppost to mean something to him. THen it dawn on him. Feather is a pirate with a bounty on his head. If Mike catches this pirate thne he be able to take care of himself for more then a long while. Still, Mike can't just go and raid the ship for his bounty without food or rest. Char is hungry while Lapras is tired. They may not be up for a battle right now. Also, Mike has to know for sure if this was the legendary pirate called Feather before he just rush in.

Mike then called up, "Mind if I can board your ship too for rest? Me and my pokemon have been on sea for a long while and I believe we are lost."
 
Diane had been listening. She knew the name Feather. Kiki had a poster of wanted pirates in her room and he was one of them. She swam there frozen as Kiki finished painting the name on the boat and Peeky and Kat had finished half of one side.
The boat now read, "Jirachi's Wish" on the side and Kiki walked along the dock towards home to get the sails. She stopped however at the commotion and wathed her Lapras stunned there focused on it as well.
"'Eh! What's goin' on here?" she asked a light breeze blowing her Camo pants. She had left her Kimono at home as well and thought she'd retrieve that also.
"Can't you see your distracting my Pokemon? We've got work to do and gosh darnit I want it finished by the days end!" SHe didn't know what had come over her. She was yelling at complete strangers but something concerned her. Something she couldn't put her finger on.
 
Rarule looked around, hoping to find a way out. 'No way I'm going to take orders from another pirate.' he thought. "Marine launch a Mudshot into the air! Now Gust hit it with your quick attack!" his pokemon did just that, and the collision caused the Mudshot to explode in a smokescreen haze. Using this moment, Rarule lited his arm as Gust grabbed it with its feet and lifted him off of the boat. For a Pidgey it is pretty strong... but not strong enough because struggling as it did, Rarule's arm slipped free and he was plummeting straight towards the water. Pidgey chirped loudly and glew bright white. It wsa like everything slowed down for Rarule, not only did he not yet hit the water, but he was watching his pidgey evolve in front of his eyes. Gust was no longer a Pidgey and became a full strong Pidgeoto, who swooped down and scooped Rarule onto his back and headed straight for their ship. "Let's go Gust!"
 
Kiki fell to her knees coughing the muddy haze irritating her throat. What was going on?
"Jerk! Get back here and *cough cough* fight like a man of the seas you landy!" she called to Rarule her eyes closed. Diane heard her and looked around unable to see. Peeky and Kat were having the same problem.
"Pi pika pi chu." /Today's not going well./ Peeky said turning to Kat the only thing she could see.
"Ski. Skiity ski." /Ya. This sucks./ Kat replied.
 
(OOC: Ack! Sorrysorrysorry. I've had no time to write in forever. GO, RP POST!)

IC:Julian woke up once more. His head wasn't as sore, but his chest was still sore. He was no longer in the quaint park in which he had found himself in before, and everything was getting very strange. Instead, he was on a bench, along the sandy white Vermillion beached. Instinctively, he reached for his belt. Expecting to feel six cold, small spheres, he panicked. His Pokemon were gone!!

He gasped, and stood, looking frantically around his feet. How long had he been unconscious!? Peeking under the bench, he spied 3 of the red and white capsules. He cried out in anguish, and fell to his feet, scrambling to pick them up. He frantically released the monsters contained within. Lash, Ash, and Splash. He fell to his knees, and groaned. 3 of his beloved Pokemon, of which he had done so much with, were gone. He looked up at the sky in despair. Suddenly, Splash the Psyduck squawked loudly. He still couldn't speak coherantly, so Julian looked at him with a puzzled expression. In the tiny pokemon's hand was a letter.

Julian tore it from the pokemon's hands and ripped it open, scanning it over. It was hastily written, but retained the elegance of a girl's writing. It was written in deep red ink; However, it was scribbled, and the ink ran and splotched, and it was hard to make out. After several failed translation attempts, Julian folded it neatly, and tucked it in his pocket. He returned his three pokemon, placed them upon his belt, and began to stroll down the beach, tears streaming down his usually bright and energetic face.
 
Mike then heard some noise. It sounded as if a pokemon were figthing or something like that. Mike then morned and so did Char. Mike hated to battle on top of Lapras because the why she swims and he can't use Char was well like they were on solid ground. "Great. If we get dragged into a battle right now then we in trouble." said Mike.

Mike then look at his Lapras and said, "Stay away from any battling. We don't want to leave this ship no matter what. It better to stay safe then to get lost again." The Laprasw nodded.

Mike knew that this was a pirate's ship for sure and this one is worth some money. If he can capture this one then he be loaded for a long while. Mike knows that after thios capture that he be able to leave on a pokemon journey on the main land.

"Char. Prepare a Smokescreen incase we are seen." said MIke.
 
Rarule, Gust and Marine made it on their ship safe. He noticed the girl screaming at him to return. "She's really agressive. But hat's not important. Time to get out of here." He let down the sails and on the ship went.
 
Julian walked up the steps towards the docks. The cruise ship S.S. Anne resided in the harbor. He had once pulled a plot with the Rockets to crash a trainer party.. but some kids messed everything up.. he shook his head, trying to get rid of the Rockets. He had more important issues on his mind at the current moment. Like getting his friends back.

Suddenly, Julian began to cough uncontrollably. "*cough cough* What the..." he exclaimed, (or the best he could.) He was surrounded by thick smoke, or mud.. or something like that. Either way, he couldn't see, nor breathe. Without even thinking, he dove off the docks, into the water. Coming up for air, he took in a deep breath of salty water. He took refuge on a ladder, and rested for a minute until the smoke/mud/whatever cleared itself. After a few minutes, it did so, and Julian climbed up towards the docks. However, he did not reach the top, instead, he leaped onto the service rafters underneath the docks. He walked across carefully, and headed towards where he thought the choking substance had originated. The source soon became apparant.

A ship, a little bit out to sea, was seemingly under attack. "Hmm." he said to himself. He released all his pokemon. They lined up, and faced him. He addressed them. "Alright, Splash, take Lash over to that ship. Lash, you sneak onboard, and see what's happening. Ash... you stay here with me. Help me decipher this letter... and dry me off." He listed his last order last moment - as he noticed he was still soaking from diving headfirst into the sea.

The 2 covert operators agreed, and dove into the water. Julian took the letter out of his pocket, and groaned. It was ruined; soaked, and the ink ran all around the paper. Without thinking, he had single-handedly ruined any chance of finding his former companions. He laid it down, and sighed. "Hey... wait!" Ash barked. Looking down at the letter, the running ink was forming words. It read.. "RoCKets toOK yoUr POkEmoN." It was crude, but extremely effective. He looked on in awe as the cryptic message lay next to him on the wood of the docks.

Meanwhile, Splash and Lash snuck up to the boat. Lash easily began to scale the side of the ship, but Splash was having more difficulty. "Oy, kid. Maybe you should just stick back here." The sneasel motioned with one claw. "I'm going to need you here if we need to make a quick getaway." The psyduck quacked loudly in approval, and Lash continued to scale the boat. When he reached the top, he saw what the commotion was. It was a boy, surrounded by Pokemon. He was the one being attacked. "Hmm.. that's that guy.. Feather." The sneasel recalled the boy's face from various posters around town. "I hear he's quite the pirate" The pokemon continued to itself. Trying to sneak closer, the sneasel watched and waited.
 
OOC: Sorry my post took so long, been busy with stuff at school <<;

Haru chased after his Snorunt, who had decided to leap into the air and tackle into the man that the officer(Haru) had pointed out earlier, without even a command. Now, the man who was lying on the ground had shouted out, alerting other officers in the area of the commotion.

"Clear out, clear out! That's an order!"

Haru shouted out to all of the people who had formed a largre ring around them. Many others dressed in uniform had come forward to stop it, but Haru had ordered them to leave...considering he had a higher rank than all of them.

"Now, I'm sorry about this. My Snorunt was not ordered to "attack" you. Please forgive me, and enjoy the rest of your day."

Without letting the man get a word in edge wise, Haru scooped up Yuki in his arms and ran off, not looking back as he disappeared into a corwd.
