1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 18

Now we finish lunch, we decide to train my Pokemon, and Serena suggests that we try to fish some Pokemon, we think there's another water type for us to capture so we can easily go through the Rock Type gym.

However, I get a bite and it turns out to be a Skrelp, a Poison and Water type, but it seems to be injured. Bonnie tries to put on the bandage, but Skrelp is so scared that it fires a Sludge Bomb at us, we have to hide behind the rock. "Why is it so mad?" Elline asks.

"Maybe it thinks we're its enemies!" Serena says.

"We're not." Pikachu tries to stop the Skrelp, but it is hit by the Toxic attack and now it is poisoned. The Skrelp then swims off, and we quickly bring it back to Ambrette City's Pokemon Center to heal up, but on the way, we come across a van and there is a couple who have the Antidote that can help us.

After they help us, we thank the couple, and after introducing ourselves, the man says, "My name's Eddy, and this is my wife."

"I'm Lindsey. Nice to meet you. Eddy and I are underwater archeologists." They reveal that they're diving underwater because there seems to be a sunken ship called S.S. Cussler, it sank due to hitting an iceberg many years ago. They reveal that the Cussler may sit off the Muraille Coast because of strong underwater currents.

We decide to help search the ship as well, and they reveal that they're a bit shorthanded at the moment, but we also need to listen to them because the whole trip could be dangerous.

When we go on the ship, we find a lot of whirlpools, but after a while, the whirlpools disappear. I say, "They're just like the whirlpools back at our Water Manor in Johto..."

"That's because the intersecting currents that create those whirlpools change regularly, as usual, they're right on schedule. You shouldn't be seeing them for a while now."

Eddy continues to sail ahead, and soon we arrive at their dive spot. Lindsey prepares to enter the submarine and has to break the news to us that there is only room for two other people to join her.

David decides to decide by using a Lottery machine, and it turns out that both Serena and I win the lottery and are the only two to go on the ship. David says, "Well, guess that's it."

Then both Serena and I go into the submarine with Lindsey, and we are amazed at the Water Pokemon in the water. Serena notices the Skrelp and says, "Hey, is that the same Skrelp?"

"I think you're right. There's the bandage." I say. "I'm so glad it found its friends."

"Yeah." Just then, the submarine is suddenly caught up in the current, which causes an interference with the communication system. However, Lindsey isn't fazed by it but is instead excited that their theory about how the Cussler got swept away is proving to be correct.

We were worried that the submarine would go too close to the sunken ship, and we also noticed the Skrelp following the sunken ship. Lindsey decides to follow them, and we notice a distinctive Milotic emblem on the ship's hull, which Eddy confirms is the Cussler.

"Look! Dragalge!" Serena says. "They are Dragon Type Pokemon, right?"

"Yeah..." I say.

Lindsey then states that the Dragalge appears to fusing the two ships together as a group of Luvdisc, Chinchou, and Remoraid emerge from the Cussler and begin playing with the group of Skrelp. Eddy explains that the Dragalge used Acid to fuse the two ships together to create one whole structure for a bigger home.

However, we notice a light coming, and it turns out that there are pirates who try to steal the treasure, they have been trying to destroy the ship so that they could get the treasure. Serena says, "So they are pirates?"
