Mixturing Moves

Chapter 2: Pirate Raid.

Sailing soundly within the liquid blues of the Pirate Sea lies a ship. The ship containing a Dragonite statue performing an attacking pose while being attached to the bowsprit and a long white pole being in the middle of the ship. The huge mast attached to the pole puffs out with the wind's push, bird Pokemon soaring through the air and the aquatic Pokemon diving and racing underwater. Being on the ship are two Pokemon: One controlling the wheel of the ship while the other is on the pole looking through the binoculars at the vast blue waters.

The Pokemon with the binoculars stands on his hind paws and has four medium-sized rings around his body: He's a Furret with a black eye patch. The other Pokemon at the wheel has a slender body with most of his fur being white but contain several brown stripes: He's a Linoone. The Linoone turns slightly toward the Furret, sighing due to boredom.

"Hey bro, are we there yet?" He asks.

"Hmm. Nope. Not even close, mate." The Furret answers while withdrawing his binoculars and looking at the blue skies.

The Linoone lets out another sigh and groans. "Man, how long is that village's location?"

"About a few miles I believe, mate."

"Oh wow, that's long!" The Linoone facepalms and continues driving, grumbling something underneath his breath.

Somewhere on the ship lies a door that leads to the ship's room. The room contains a cramped and dim space, with only a lamp to provide light. Two cots and a dresser are the only things to make up the decor of the room. Being on the cots themselves lies two Pokemon; A Dragonite being on the left cot, wearing an crystalline necklace around her neck. And sitting on the right cot is a fox-like creature with golden-white fur and a small mane around her neck: Ninetales. The Ninetales is also wearing yellow earrings on her ears as she chats with the Dragonite.

"Wow...Sorry to hear that, Iris..." The Ninetales says in a sorrow tone, staring at the ground while poking the bedsheets.

The Dragonite looks at the ceiling. Her eyes goes to slit as she sighs heavily, putting a hand over her face. "Stop saying that you're sorry. It's not your fault that my father is killed." She fusses.

The Ninetales shifts a bit then sighs. "I know how you feel, Iris. It hurts to see a family member being taken away from you..." The Ninetales looks at the wall.

"Then why would you say sorry when clearly it wasn't your fault, Anna?" Iris asks firmly.

"...It was nothing...Just me being silly, that's all..." Anna continues staring at the wall while Iris removes her hand from her face. I'm starting to wonder why I joined you in the first place... Anna thinks.

After a few minutes of silence, Anna proceeds to speak. "One question, Iris: How can Ho-Oh use Flare Blitz and Wild Charge together when he can learn neither of those moves?" Iris turns her attention towards Anna with a little smirk.

"Well, that's the magic of Marvel Mischief, Anna. You can think of any two moves you want and combine them into one ultimate move: Mixturing Move. Doesn't matter if you learn them or not." Iris answers proudly. Anna tilts her head slightly.

"Oh? Well, I'm impressed." Anna says.

"Yeah, but here's the catch: You can only have one 'Mixturing Move' and will stick with that move forever, once you've thought of it."

"Oh. That's a stinker."

"Yeah but the good thing is, at least you get to name it basing on two moves." Iris grins. "Although, it's weird that someone with a Marvel Mischief would ask me this. Assuming that someone would know already."
