It was three days after Ash had recived the Thunder badge from Lt. Surge, Ash and his friends were at the Vermilion city harbour. Ash knew that if they went aboard the S.S. Anne they would run into Team Rocket again. But he coupdn't let those guys take those trainers pokemons. So he'll hop on board for their sakes.
"Wow." Ash blinked at the large curise ship in fornt of them.
"Beutiful." Glissle said
Pikachu noded,"Pika."
"That's quite a large ship." Misty commented
"Yes I'd love to cross the ocean on ship like this." Glissle said
"Yeah just imagine all the pokemon we'd be able to see along the way." Brock said
"Aw, for sure!" Misty said"Just imagine, sunbathing on deck all day...just a nice, long relaxing cruise."
"We could never afford a cruise like that." Brock said bursting Misty's fantasy
"Ough.." Misty said as Ash comforted her
"Sometimes reality can really bum out." Ash sighed, hands behind his head with Pikachu sighing too as their friends followed dejectly. Suddenly they were showered in confetti from poppers.
"Congratulation!" The vison was blocked by two familiar figure wearing school uniforms and way too much make up."You guys are lucky!You can go on a super dealux sea cruise!"They said
"A sea cruise?" The five trainers repated, Ash took a step back when the orange haired one come closer.
"Well, it's like, you know, we have these incredible cool tickets for you!" The orange haired one pulled out tickets from her pocket.
"Co-lh!" The blonde behind her sang.
"Cool,huh?" Orange head grinned.
"What?" Misty asked
"These are tickets for the biggest party ship ever aboard the S.S. Anne cruise liner!" The orange head displayed the ticket.
"The famous S.S. Anne?" Ash quetioned
"The coolest ship on the sea!" Orange assured.
"Oh. " Brock said
"Everyone's going to be together and, like, have the coolest party!"
"Cool."
"And the party's for pokemon trainers only!"
"Cool."
Ash is getting a little sick of hearing that word.
"Step this way!" Orange said, Blondie said."It'll be a radical party! All of the most radical pokemon trainers will be there!"
"Okay, dudes, here are your tickets!" Blonde gives them the ticket
"We'd love to go on the pokemon trainer cruise, but we really don't have the money to pay it." Brock said
"Oh, woah, like, you don't understand! " Blonde said
"The're totally free!" Orange said
"Free." Yellow repated
"Totally free!" Blonde repated
"For free, huh so why are you giving them away?" Ash asked
"Well, like, we had to go out with our boyfriends, but we wanted to give our tickets to cool pokemon fans! " Orange one replied
"We saw you and thought you looked really cool. Just take these and have a really cool times!" Blonde said ans handed the tickets to Ash
"Thank you very much." Ash said
"No sweat!"
"Have a nice day for sure!"And with that, the two took of running, disappearing quickly. Ash knew it was suspicious considerinv who gave them to him, but free tickets were free tickets, and he was sure he could handle any scheme they threw at him anyways.
Ash smirked," well look like it's our lucky day guys?"
"Yeah!" Miaty and Brock said
"The S.S. Anne, wow!" Brock said as the ships horn blew
"And that cool party." Ash said"I wonder which of this ships are the S.S. Anne."
"I think that's it." Glissle called, bringing attention to a large cruise ship.
"Hm?" Ash blinked
"Wow, that's incredible!" Brock breathed
"It's huge!" Yellow said.
"Pika!"
"What an amazing ship." Glissle muttered as they climbed the steps to board
"I'd like to travle the whole world in this." Misty dreamed
"Welcome aborad the S.S. Anne. " A man in coustume bowed after glancing at the ticket in Ash's hand. "This way." He outstreched his hand to direct them to a open room on the deck.

"Wow look at this." Ash breathed talking in the ridiculously large ballroom with glimmering red orange floors, light studded high cellings and white dressed tabels scattered between floors crowds of what looked to be everyday people. Unusual, since ritzy cruise ships like thia were more geared towards the higher classes. There stands setup all around like a local fair.
"It's like a giant pokemon convention." Ash breathed, unable to help his smile at all the pokemon among the people.
"Everyone's a pokemon trainer here." Glissle smiled too.
"Hey, how about we split up and look around?We'll meet up in an hour?" Ash suggested
"Sounds like a good idea." Brock agreed to the idea.
The three split up and looked around the ballroom. Ash made sure not to battle the guy with the Raticate beacuse he might get interested in one of his pokemon which was something he didn't want. So he decided to check out the stands. He and pikachu went over to a few games stands where someone could try and win the grand prize which interested Ash. Funny enough he won all the games and got a pokemon egg.
Then he spotted Glissle,"Glissle."He called her
Glissel turned to him when she heard his voice. She smiled as she walked over to him.
"Find anything you like, Ash?" Glissle asked
"Yea. How about you??" Ash asked
"Well, I went into to a game stall and manged to win a few evolutionary stones."Glissle replied
" I got a pokemon egg from the game corner. "Ash said
" Lucky."Glissle commented
"I might be." Ash said
"Hey Ash." Glissle said in a serious expression.
"Yeah?" Ash replied
"I know I seemed paranoid, but I fell uneasy around the ship." Glissle said
"I fell the same. Almost like it seemed too good to be true that we got free tickets for the ship?" Ash said
"Yeah for some strange reason, I fell like this is a trap." Glissle said
"I have a guess who it could be." Ash said
"Team Rocket." Glissle said
Ash nodded,"we'll have to be careful. Don't know when they'll launch their attack."He said
"You're right about that." Glissle agreed
____________________________________________________________________
The time to meet up had arrived and the group had found a table. Then began consuming all of the plates of food they got from the buffet. Ash had to admit that Brock and Misty looked funny as they ate while Ash, Glissle and Yellow ate their food clamly.
"So what did you guys gest?" Ash asksaid
"I got books on pokemon food,breeding and medicine." Brock said
"Some jewelerys. " Misty said
"Some clothes." Yellow said
"Some evolutionary stones." Glissle said
"I got a pokemon egg." Ash said
"You got a pokemon egg? Lucky." Brock said
All of a sudden, the ballroom got into lockdown, causing everyone to panic.
"What in the name of--" Brock was cut off
"That can't be good." Glissle said
The lights black out for a second, then they turned back on to reval Team Rocket grunts in front of the trainers in the room. The team rocket grunts all had a suction tanks on their back.
Two familiar looking people stood on the table.
"Team Rocket." Ash said
James and Jessie looked confident.
They said"Prepare for trouble!
And make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie!
James!
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
Meowth jumped over,"Mewoth! that's right!"
"Team Rocket will now take possession of your pokemon." James said
People all around them started to all together about Team Rocket members started to surround them, and activated their suction tank, starting to steal pokeballs from everyone. The gang held into their pokeballs as Ash also hold pikachu.
Two member walked toward sthem."Hand over you pokeballs!"One of them said
"No way." Brock said
"Don't make me take them!" A grunt said
"Pikachi." Ash said
Pikachu used thunderbolt on both the grunts which made them unconscious.
"EVERYONE!" Ash shouted, catching the trainers that was near the gang, "Realse your pokemon and show them not to mess with pokemon trainers!"
"RIGHT!" All the trainers noded and called out their pokemon, fighting back.
There was a massivbe battle goinv on the ship. All the water type pokemon joined together. So did the other types. Ash spotted Jessie, James and Meowth, so he told pidgeot to send a gust attack towards the trio, sending them out of the ship. Then at last electric type sent all the Team Rocket member away with their thunder attack. The trainers had own at that day.
" WE DID IT."A random trainer shouted
All the trainers happily cheered, relizing they won against Team Rocket.
The gang was happy as well and returned all of their pokemon, telling tgem well done.
However, the celebration didn't last long.
During the battle they somehow ended up right in the middle of a storm it was a nasty one to it kept making the boat roll back and forth.
The captain ran out to the ballroom trying to get everyone to clam down by saying the ship is unsinkable which turned ouy to be a lie because when another wave hit the ship it started to sink. All of the trainers were scared when they saw the dangerous storm.
Ash had to think something very quick before everyone sink along with the ship. Then he got an idea."Everyone listen! "the people on the ship stopped their hysterics and listend to the boy that helped them keep their pokemon.
" If you have flying, water or some pokemon that can fly, send them out and have them carry you to the shore!"Ash said"For the rest, if there are any lofeboats on the ship get on them as fast as possible!"
The captain turned to the passenger,"You heard him! Get moving alreday!"
They didn't need to be told twice beacuse soon enought everyone was sending out capable pokemon and headed out the ship meanwhile those who didn't own these type pokemon ran to lifeboats which thankfully there were some available and big enough to fit many people in it.
Ash quickly take out pidgeot and the gang quickly got onto him and followed after the trainers and crew to the shore. Once they got there, they went to th pokemon center to sleep. They shared one room at that day.

In the next morning Nurse Joy suggested the gang to go to port Vista for some relaxing time, when they were heading out. Misty and yelloew immediately agreed they should go, so the others followed.
As they went into the ferry and arrived at their distination the port vista.
To be countinued
