The Battle of Marck Grande

Ash woke up after a good, long sleep. He recollected yesterday's events, which included winning his first grand trial, and receiving a fightinium Z. He currently didn't have any fighting type Pokemon, But he'd probably get one later. He was not in a hurry to use his Fightinium Z anyway. He got up and got ready for the rest of the day. He went ahead and ordered the breakfast and then woke Pikachu up. "Pika!(Good Morning!)" Pikachu said as he jumped onto Ash's shoulder and gave a yawn. He then looked to his right, finding his travelling companion, Lillie, still sleeping. "Hey Lillie, wake up." Ash said, shaking her. She got up in a bit and got ready. After heading over and having their breakfast, they set out again, this time for the Akala island trial. "Alright then, Lillie, We'll need to wait for the ferry now. " Ash said, sitting down in the wooden chair of the waiting room. The Marck Grande, their ferry vessel, soon came, and they got onboard. Lillie looked pretty nervous as they climbed onto the gently rocking ship. "Hey Lillie, what's wrong?" Ash asked, noticing Lillie's nervous expression. " Umm... It's just that I've never been on a ship before." She said, still not getting used to the gentle back and Forth movements. "Hey, Listen. You'll get used to it" Ash said, as they settled into their room. The ride would be taking them the rest of the day, so they couldn't do much after reaching Akala. Ash would be having to take his grand trial the next day. As they were both thinking, the low, deep horn of the ship brought them out of their thoughts, as the horn signaled that they would be leaving port. While leaving, Lillie took final look at the Mele-Mele Port, as the ship left. 

*Timeskip to two hours later*

Ash was getting completely bored so he had gone off to train, while Lillie looked around the ship. Again, taking into consideration she had never been on a ship before, she was still nervous.  She was just outside the training room when Ash walked out of it. " Hey Lillie, What were you doing here?" Ash asked. "Oh, I was just looking around the ship to distract myself." She replied. " Still feeling nervous? Come on, Let's go out onto the deck. It's got quite a view" Ash said, as they both headed onto the deck. As soon as they came out, Ash opened the door and stepped aside. "Like what you see?" Ash asked in the most gentlemanly possible voice. " WOW!" Lillie exclaimed, completely dumbfounded. Outside the deck, all they could see was water, and Pokemon playing in it. Two Lapras appeared to be playing with each other, while Magikarps and Goldeens were swimming all around, often jumping out of the water. Sharpedo were swimming below, occasionally coming to the surface, while Wailord were coming up, Releasing a fountain of water and Ambergris. This is amazing!" Lillie exclaimed as she looked around, turning a 360 to take in all the view. However, what nobody noticed, were two black specks on the horizon, one in the air, and one on the water. Everyone, still unaware of this development, continued to relax on the deck. The Silhouettes came nearer, Revealing a majestic, large, blue bird. It spread its wings wide, and had red eyes. however, these eyes were blood red. Something had happened to anger the Pokemon. The other one, had a dog like figure. It skimmed across the water, its legs hardly even visible, leaving froth in its wake. Its eyes, too, were red, and it, like its flying counterpart, was angry. They were headed straight toward the Marck Grande. 

Lillie's POV

I spotted two silhouettes of Pokemon coming straight at the ship. My eyes widened in realization as soon as I figured out what they were. " Ash, if you look out from the starboard side, you'll find Suicune and Articuno!" I said in surprise. Ash turned around to look for them. " Hmm.... They sure are headed pretty fast right toward this ship" He said. However, it was at this point that all hell broke loose. As Suicune and Articuno came closer, we saw their eyes a blood red. As far as my knowledge went, Neither of these legendries had blood red eyes. " Ash, those two seem to have red eyes. That's weird, isn't it?" I asked. Ash froze up in shock. 

Ash's POV

"You'll find Suicune and Articuno!" Lillie said as I looked. I noticed something weird about their eyes, and waited for them to come nearer to confirm my suspicions. "Ash, those two seem to have red eyes. That's weird, isn't it?" She said, confirming what I had been thinking all along. " Lillie, move into the lower deck, get into your room, and stay there, It is not safe to stay on the deck!!" I said, ushering her into the deck of the ship. Things were about to get real dirty. I took out Greninja, getting ready for battle. As far as I knew, having two legendries who are completely mad at you and pitting your non legendary Pokemon against them isn't my idea of training. However, if I didn't do something right now, this ship will be going down, with all passengers inside. "Greninja, This is about to get real dirty. So let's get stronger and stronger.... Together!!!!" I exclaimed as Greninja was shrouded by a vortex of water, which he absorbed into his back to form a shuriken. By now, most people were slowly heading toward their rooms, correctly assuming that it would be a much safer place than a deck when two angry legendries strike. Articuno announced the beginning of the battle by launching an ice beam. " Greninja, Use multiple water shurikens to negate it!" I said as Greninja followed my orders. The ice beam was frozen in its tracks, but since the water had frozen it and Articuno had stopped the attack, the remaining ice turned into a shell of sorts, slamming into the hull of the ship, denting it and causing a grunting sound as the steel won the struggle to hold itself together. Suicune fired a hydro pump at the affected area, in an effort to cause a hole. "Greninja, water shurikens to deflect the hydro pump!" I said as he took off his large Shuriken on his back and threw it down toward the hydro pump. However, the hydro pump deflected and hit the bow instead, causing the ship to rock violently, and broke the railing at the point of impact and denting the bow. The steel now created a screeching noise, since the impact was larger than the one that hit the hull. A splash was then heard as the broken part of the railing landed in the water. I was thrown back due to the swaying of the ship, but was able to  rise again.  Greninja, Use double team to make a copy of yourself, then make your double team copy do the work!" I said as Greninja used double team to make a single copy of himself. " Use aerial ace!" I said as the copy used aerial ace, damaging Articuno. But Articuno caught him by the leg, leaving him wide open. "Use Cut!" I said As the copy formed two cut blades in his hands. That was when I found Suicune preparing another Hydro pump attack. "Greninja, use water shuriken! I said as Greninja deflected another hydro pump, which went ahead and hit the double team copy's blades. The blades were thrown far out, but were yet to land in the water. That was when Articuno had an idea. He left Greninja's double team copy, leaving him to fall into the ocean and disappear while the real Greninja stood beside me. He then froze the blades and Suicune understood what Articuno wanted to do. He immediately went behind the location of the place where the now froze cut blades lay. Articuno bound them with  a layer of ice. Suicune then used hydro pump at the back of the blades as they went forward at full throttle. It was at this moment I realized what was about to happen. "Holy.... Mother of... SHIT! TORPEDO ON THE STARBOARD SIDE!!" I yelled out loud as the impromptu torpedo smashed into the ship's hull at top speed. The collision caused the ship to shake and rock violently. But that wasn't the end of it. As the ship rocked to the side, another clang sounded, signifying the torpedo's exit. The ship was violently pulled to the right, and my mind was running at a hundred miles an hour. The ship started tilting toward the bow, as water began to fill the ship. "Shit! " I said, as I rushed into the covered area of the deck with Greninja in  pursuit. multiple ice beams hit the ship, blowing holes through it. I then reached the alarm, smashed the glass covering the button, and pressed it.
