Kut's POV
Although I felt bad for how I had scolded Red, he had acted carelessly despite things working out. The next day everything went smoothly, everyone welcomed us aboard.
However, Red had been avoiding me for the most part. We hadn't talked since my little outburst and I felt that I should apologize.
Me and Red were both belowdeck at the time I decided this so I figured it'd be the perfect time to apologize. I made my way over to him but he barely acknowledged me.
"Red, I would like to apologize for how I reacted before." I stared but he sighed and turned to me.
"Kut, you don't have to apologize for being right." Red told me, but I shook my head.
"No Red, I am not apologizing for that. I am apologizing for yelling at you. You did a good job finding us a way to Snowpoint and I should give you more credit for that." His expression softened as I talked, I could tell he wanted to smile again.
"It's just that, you're right. I acted carelessly and I could've gotten you guys hurt because of it. Back when it was just me I could afford to be stupid, but now I have friends to worry about and I need to remember that." Red said, although I could see him faintly smiling.
"Hey, when did we become friends? I thought we were just allies." I joked, and he chuckled.
"I don't know why but I found that funny!" Red grinned.
"Well in any ca-" I was cut off by Omanyte screaming.
"LAND HO!" We raced to the deck and met up with Belle, in the distance we could see land ahead.
The air was cold, much colder than before. So I knew we were in the right place, although I realized something.
"What if Arcadia's workers shoot down or ship?" I wondered, but I heard a familiar laughed and the three of us wheeled around to see Jack Spearow standing before us.
"Don't you worry yerselves, we can handle anythin they throw at us!" Jack assured me, although I didn't feel very comforted.
"All hands on deck!" Jack yelled, and his crew all raced to get in two lines on the main deck. Meanwhile the three of us just stood on the sidelines.
"Belle, if anything starts happening please stay close to me." I told her and she nodded.
"Can do. I can't wait to put this Arcadia in his place!" She said.
"I agree, anyone who wants to destroy Pokémon needs to be taught a lesson!" Red agreed, as the boat sailed closer and closer to our destination.
"Alright you scallywags, let's do some real swashbucklin today!" Jack coached as he paced up and down in between the two rows.
"Aye aye!" His crew chanted in response, and he smiled.
"We got company!" The Kingdra in the water informed us, and Jack's smile vanished.
"Man yer battle stations!" He ordered and the crew raced around the deck, some going belowdeck.
"You three, hang tight. Yer all in for a real treat, gettin to see the Black Rodger in action!" Jack told us before flying off to the quarterdeck.
Three of those familiar black boats that we had stolen to get to Snowpoint before we met the Black Rodger's crew quickly approached, although humans were driving them.
There were three humans per ship, two were on the front with guns in hand and one was driving the boat. Making for a total of nine hostiles.
"Fire!" Jack commanded and belowdeck we heard multiple bangs and saw black metal spheres races towards the ship. The cannonballs missed for the most part as the hosts could swerve around them, but one smashed through the hull of one of the boats, and it quickly sunk.
"Alright, give them the whirlpool of terror!" Jack ordered and we saw the Pokémon that normally guarded below the ship race toward the boats and dive underwater. For a moment nothing happened, then a giant whirlpool appeared and began dragging the boats in.
"Fire the canons again!" This time the cannonballs mostly hit, smashing the ships into bits.
"Now, full speed ahead!" Jack roared and his crew roared back, before the ship began to pick up speed and Snowpoint became closer than ever.
The ship docked itself and set down their anchors. Before dropping down the drawboard. The crew raced off the ship swiftly, only a few remaining to make sure the ship wasn't captured.
"Alright mates, this be yer stop. He sir to stop that Arcadia and catch the ride back." Jack told us.
"Thank you for your assistance Jack." I thanked before he flew off into the madness.
"Alright guys, here goes nothing." Red said and we exited the ship and rushed into the chaos of Snowpoint city.
Once upon a time the city might have been beautiful. It certainly wasn't now.
There were scattered fires throughout the city and the pirate crew was battling the humans, for the most part the pirates were winning due to their ability to stop bullets with their own attacks.
I felt bad for anyone who used to live here, now they were probably dead at the hands of Arcadia's minions.
We made our way through the chaos quite well, barely any humans noticed us since we didn't attack them. They were more focused on the pirates.
"I think we should go to the temple, I heard that's where the legendary Pokémon Regigigas rests, Arcadia might try to use its power to help him with his master plan of destroying Pokémon." Red theorized.
"Sounds like a good enough plan, lets go." I agreed and we made our way to the temple. I was surprised nobody was guarding it for a moment but then I remembered the chaos behind us.
The building was made out of stone, its square roof was supported by stone columns. We went into the temple and it somehow became colder.
There was some ice on the floor but none of us were worried about that, there were also a few random stone columns and a statue of Regigigas. However I paid it no heed and went down to the next floor.
It was eerie how quiet it was, nothing moved and it just got colder and colder until we finally reached the bottom floor.
Almost the entire floor was coated in ice, however in the center stood the motionless form of Regigigas, and in front of it was a human. I had a feeling that this was the one Red was after. Arcadia.
