Chapter 8

Adventure at sea

Ash and his friends were still in Vermilion City, but were visiting Vermilion Harbour. They were staring at the books. Misty suddenly noticed something. "I recognize that ship," she said, pointing to a big white ship, "that's the S.S. Anne, the largest ship in kanto. I have a small model of that". "Wow," said Ash "it would be nice to be able to travel on that". "Thing is though," said Brock, "we don't have the money for it". Ash and Misty sighed knowing Brock was right.

Just then two ladies, with flowers around their neck, appeared. "You three are pokemon trainers correct?" the woman with blonde hair said. "Yes we are," said Ash. "Then here you go," said the brown haired woman, handing Ash three pieces of paper "these are tickets for the S.S. Anne". Ash, Misty and Brock were surprised. "Wait you're giving these to us for free?" asked Brock. "That's correct," the blonde haired said "S.S. Anne is holding a party for pokemon trainers. So pokemon trainers get these tickets free". Misty felt like leaping for joy. "Let's board the S.S. Anne" she squealed. Ash and Brock couldn't say no to this, so they all boarded the ship.

But this was really a trap. The two ladies were really Jessie and James in disguise. They took off their disguises. "Who ever thought that would be so easy?" said Jessie "And who ever thought I would make a pretty woman?" joked James. "Quiet you three," Meowth said "the boss wants to talk to us". A screen came up.

The boss of Team Rocket was a middle aged man, known as Giovanni. His desire was to capture hundreds of powerful pokemon and use their power to make the whole world his own, and to have both humans and pokemon under his control.

"Is everything ready?" Giovanni asked. "Yes sir!" said Jessie "we have hundreds of pokemon trainers aboard the S.S. Anne". "Excellent," said Giovanni "my men have gone abroad and when the time is right, we will get all of those trainers pokemon". The screen went off. "Time to get to work," said Meowth. Jessie and James agreed.

Ash, Brock and Misty were amazed when they entered the main room of the ship. There were pokemon trainers everywhere and there were dozens of booths with food, accessories, clothes and games. "What shall we do?" asked Ash. "Let's split up," said Misty "that way we can have a good time in our own way". Ash and Brock decided that was a good idea. "Let's meet up back here in an hour," said Brock. They all went their separate ways.

Ash and Pikachu took a good look round. They passed by a stall that held souvenirs. Ash brought a stuffed Pikachu, which made his real Pikachu delighted. Pikachu hugged the stuffed Pikachu immediately. Next Ash saw a stall; it was a lottery stall. There were four prizes to be won. The fourth prize was just a consolation prize; pokemon keyrings for anyone to win. The third prize was a big pokemon medicine kit. The second prize was a blue pokemon egg in an incubator. The first prize was a bag of mystery. Ash ended up winning the bag of mystery, inside were nine evolutionary stones; a thunderstone, a waterstone, a firestone, leaf stone, dusk stone, sun stone, dawn stone, shiny stone, ice stone, and a moonstone. 'These will come in handy' Ash thought.

Then Ash saw something that made him really cross. A man was selling a Magikarp. Ash hated people that sold pokemon to make money. He told a security guard what he had seen. The security guard called some of his men and had the Magikarp salesman arrested. "Thank you for telling us about him," said the security guard "Officer Jenny warned us about him some time ago. She has been after him for years. Now he will be in jail".

After the Magikarp salesman got taken away, Ash walked over to the Magikarp in the tank. "Hey Magikarp," he said putting his hands on the glass, "I have a friend, who would like to have you for a friend. Want me to take you to her?" Magikarp looked at Ash in curiosity, then nodded yes. Ash found a pokeball on top of the tank and returned Magikarp with it.
