"7...8...9..and 10." Shaking and struggling James forces the weight bar up until it rested on stand of the bench press once more. He wipes the sweat from his forhead on the sleeve of his shirt. He moves up until he is at an up right position and glances over to the treadmills where his three companions are trotting along; his Vigoroth Scrappy was moving slightly faster than the other two. While most of the other trainers are resting James decided to keep the muscles of his pokemon warm and loose with a series of light work-outs. James's excitement slowly begins to overwhelm as he thinks about the tournament. But, he has to compose himself so he doesn't make any bad decisions before the tournament. The rules of the tournament clearly stated that battles before the tournament are strictly prohibited. It was hard for James not to engage in a pokemon battle with all of the gifted trainers aboard the ship. He clearly wasn't the only one filling this way. He often sees other trainers have run-ins attempting to size up their fellow competitors. This tournament is going to be a dozzy. James thought to himself. With his competitive spirit he thrives in this type of environment. But, oddly at the same time many trainers welcomed eachother with warm greetings and stories of their past adventures.

"All right guys. That's enough for today." James says as he fetches three towel from a his backpack. The towels came from the bathroom of his suite and began wiping the sweat off of his pokemon.

"Lets go grab some of the 'five star' food. We'll never know when we will get another chance of a free buffet." He smiled warmly and tossed the towels in the corner of the room. He figured with all of the staff around someone would eventually find and clean the towels.

Somewhere on an distant island...


A young women briskly makes her way down a long dark hallway. The only sound to be hearded has the knocks of her shoe colliding with the ground. She finally came to a large room. The screens of surveillance monitors covered every inch of the walls. A man wearing an unblemished white suit sat in a large and luxurious computer chair with a houndoom sitting to the left of the chair; resting her head on the arm of the chair as her master slowly stroked the fur on the top of her head. The Houndoom quickly turned her gaze to the young women as soon as she entered the room. The Houndoom snarled an bared her teeth.

"Ummm Mr.Creed.... She has umm... departed again." The young women voice shook as she stared refusing to take her eyes of the Houndoom's pearly white teeth.

The man swung the chair around and placed his hand on the pokemon's Bragg, rested his other hand under his chin, and crossed one of his leg's over the other.

"She won't go to far while we still have the others and hmhm... and we still possess her other half." The man slightly chuckled.

"Ok sir. We will wait her return so we may continue the process." The women slightly bowed her head."Um sir, why do you think she keeps leaving?"

"She is searching for help, but it shouldn't be an issue this time. But, I don't want her to escape again. Do I make myself clear." The man stated with an forceful voice and instant the Houndoom let out and ferocious growl.

"Understood." The young lady flinched and quickly made her way out of the room.

The three pokemon faced down range, each staring at a different wooden target and awaiting orders form their trainer. Gale gave his pokemon a once over, all of them serious for their days training. They hadn't stopped training since they arrived on the boat, Gale wanting to keep his pokemon as sharp as possible so that they were ready for the tournament. The training was going to help them gain an advantage over the trainers who wasted , not only their own time, but also the time of their pokemon and the tournaments. He had scouted out the rest of the competition when they had first arrived, seeing how well he stacked up to the rest of the participants. He determined that most of the competition were not worth his time, but there were a few of them that might just give him a run for his money, hence why he had decided to train instead of relax before the tournament. The challenge was just great enough for him to insure that he was prepared to face it.

The pokemon were ready to go, all of them willing to give him 110% to insure they're victory. Gale knew what each one needed to work on and each ones strengths, both of which he would work on during the trip on the boat, but for now it was standard target practice. He gave the order and all of the pokemon let out their respective attacks at once, striking the targets at the same time. The younger two pokemon both hit the targets with force, knocking over both the targets with ease. Gales pokemon that he started his adventure with struck the target with a lot more force, the target splintering into many small pieces. The results were good, but Gale knew that they could do better and as such was displeased with the results. He walked down to the end of the range, setting up new targets for the pokemon to train with, and the process repeated. They trained for most of the day, stopping just before the point where the pokemon would not fully recover from a night of rest. After the training, Gale took his pokemon to get some food, keeping their strength up for the next round of training.

Anthony sat in the reclining chair, with Nuri and Ramiel curled up besides him and Seymour comfortable near the wall of the ship. With a stretch and a yawn Anthony awoke his nap, he took of the shades he had had on and looked around. Nothing had really changed from the time he sat down till now, which he was somewhat disappointed about but it wasn't too big an issue. "Hey guys wake up, we've been sleeping for quite a while and I'm famished!" Sitting up rather quickly he hopped to his feet, Nuri following suit. Ramiel looked up yawned and slowly proceeded to get up, while Seymour glanced up yawned and fell back asleep. Anthony laughed at Seymour, he had originally not been able to sleep or pretty much do anything on the ship, But now he didn't wanna stop sleeping. "Don't get into any trouble Seymour! Come on you two, lets go get us some food!" As Anthony took off he got a cheer from Nuri, and a word or two from Ramiel.

Anthony, Nuri and Ramiel sat in the restaurant eating the food that had been given to them. Anthony and Nuri were eating everything that was palced in front of them, making much more noise than they probably should be. Whereas Ramiel ate more slowly and tending to pick his bites instead of eating literally everything. Anthony sat back after finishing his second helping of steak, he glanced down at Nuri, who was now laying on her side half asleep. Ramiel on the other hand was laying down peacefully, waiting for them to be finished. "Alright, you guys full? I know I am! What should we do now?" Ramiel glanced up at Anthony and rolled his eyes, Nuri tried to move but failed and just laid there looking over at Anthony who chuckled at both of them. "I guess we can wait a bit for our food to digest!"

James and his companions shoveled piles of the gourmet food into their mouths. The individuals u.lucky enough to sit at the neighboring tables gave James and his pokemon discussed it looks as the watched the horrific sight. James knew they were looking but, it didn't really bother him because of his life on the road a large portion of his meals are mediocre at best. So of course he would shovel down as much of this good food as possible. In the corner of the room mounted high on the wall was a t.v. It played highlights of a bout at battle tower between a Heracross and a Swanna . The trainer with the Swanna was clearly trying to take advantage of the types mich match using aerial ace. The Swanna swooped in with incredible speed kicking up a large gust of wind behind her. The Heracross made no attempt to dodge the attack. The Swana collided with the Heracross with a terrifying amount of force. The Heracross was clearly and hugely effected by the attack . But, at the last second the Heracross's trainer shouted out the move reversal. The Heracross grabbed on to the Swana and using her momentum slung her to the ground. A loud boom followed the slam and the Swana laid on the ground unconscious.

"Pow!!! Did you see that. That's how you snatch victory right from under your opponent. Chalk that win up to straight grit.." James sprang out of his seat and slammed his foot on to the table and clinched his fist up in the air. The loud boom of his shoe against the table made the a large number of the people in the dining area slightly flinch.

Gale watched as two of his pokemon dug into the gourmet food with such intensity that they sent some food flying through the air. One would think that they hadn't eaten in three weeks. He shot them both a disapproving glare, forcing both of them to slow down and eat with manners. At least Nila was eating with proper edict, knowing that eating like the others did could cause sickness, which would effect their training for the tournament and lose them their edge. After the other two where settled down, he turned his attention back to the monitor which was highlighting a battle between a Heracross and a Swanna. As he watched as the Swanna swooped in with an Aerial Ace, he thought to himself, Bad move, Heracross likely knows something like counter or reversal. If that doesn't finish it, Swanna's done. He continued to watch, smiling slightly as his prediction came true, knowing that he would never have fallen for it.

Gale heard a loud boom, and he looked over to see what all the commotion was about. He spotted the source, another trainer getting overly excited about the battle that was just on the screen. He gave the trainer a quick once over, determining that he was likely overconfident and reckless, potentially being a threat but considerably unlikely that he actually was. Seemed more like he was a loudmouth who needed a beating to realize his flaws. Gale turned back to his meal, the tournament seeming considerable easier as the day went on.

The little girl had slept in the biggest bed she had ever seen. It was the softest, warmest, most comfiest bed she had ever slept in. To be fair, she hadn't slept in many of them since she had left Snowpoint about a year ago, except for the occasional few in the Pokecenters she had stopped at, but those were mediocre at best. This bed, wowie. It had her -and- her three Pokemon in it. She wasn't sure if that was allowed, but after she had jumped into it and saw how soft it was, there was no way she would keep Snowball, Firestarter, and Twister out of it. Her Pokemon deserved this luxury just as much as she did; they had helped her get this far and she smiled when she thought of them. However, due to the size and comforts of the bed, and having her Pokemon surround her, it caused her to sleep in quite a bit later than the rest of the trainers, and when she woke up groggily and saw the time she sat straight up and ran for the bathroom to take her shower and get ready (another bit to this ship that she -loved-) and woke up her Pokemon in the process.

Snowball fell off the bed with a soft thunk, and blinked rapidly, looking around the room, trying to figure out how he got onto the floor. "Spheal?" was the faint question he asked in Pokespeak, as he was very confused. Firestarter woke up suddenly, his eyes opening with a snap, as Eira bounded off the bed. With a faint grumble in Pokespeak, the Vulpix stretched slowly, yawning widly and flicking each of its five tails in what seemed to be a long inset wake-up process for the little fox. Twister was the last to realize that Eira had raced out of bed, and woke up the slowest and calmest. Picking up her head slowly, the Dratini looked around and yawned slowly, flicking her tail a little to wake up the rest of her body. she smiled at Snowball on the ground and his confused cries before he went over to Eira's bag to look for berries. "Dra~" She called out, trying to get his attention. He shouldn't be digging into their trainers bag without her permission, even if he was hungry.

Snowball frowned and was just about to retort back to Twister in Pokespeak when Eira came bursting out of the bathroom in her outfit for the day, and smiled at everyone. Her hair was held back by a headband, and she was wearing a nice shirt and a cute skirt. "Come on guys! We're late to get up as it is! We can go get food first okay?" At those words, Snowball and Firestarter cheered, though Snowball was the loudest, and Twister just nodded to her. Eira walked over and picked up Twister to carry her, as the Dratini moved to rest around Eira's shoulders, curled up like a snake. With that she glanced at the map of the ship she was given, and headed towards the food, with Snowball and Firestarter at either of her heels.

(I didnt want to end here, but have to leave so this is what ya guys get.)

Anthony and Nuri waited for Ramiel to finish slowly eating before he got up and made his way back to the deck. Anthony slid across the waxed floor boards as he drew closer to the sleeping Seymour. As Nuri and him slid across the floor, Seymour walked into the path and and braced for impact. "Seymour what're you doing!?" Anthony and Nuri crashed into Seymour. As they laid on the floor Ramiel walked over and shook his head. Bursting out laughing, Anthony, Nuri, and Seymour stumbled up. "We we're just going to come get you Seymour!, we were going to go train! Comeon!"

Anthony and his pokemon ran down the hallways at full speed aiming for the training room. Anthony quickly tried to put on the breaks as a small little girl walked out in front of him. Crashing into the little girl he quickly pushed her out of the way of the Ryhorn crashing through. Seymour Crashed into Anthony while Nuri crashed into the small girl.

(This is so hard to take seriously watching Deadpool on a rocky-rocket)

Eira saw the boy and his Pokemon just a little too late. She let out a small yell as the boy tossed her aside, his Quilava running into her and knocking her and Snowball into the wall. Firestarted managed to dodge getting hit, and ended up behind everyone in the direction Eira and her small group were going; he looked at the boys group with contempt, and flicked a few of his tails. The Dratini on Eira's shoulder cried out and jumped from her shoulder to try and protect her, ending up on top of the Quliava that ran into Eira. Snowball ended up between Eira and and wall, and was dazed as he lay there, taken off guard and unsure of what just happened. The little girl managed to push herself off the wall after the contact with the Pokemon and the wall, and blinked some, rubbing her head as she looked at the boy and his group of Pokemon. What had happened? "Are you okay?"
