Looking back at it now, Juliette has come to the conclusion that she probably did deserve this punishment. Well, just a little. All she did was sneak into the engine room and tinker with the electrical wiring for a bit. Sure, she caused a two-hour blackout, but the ship came out ten times more efficient after she was done with it! They should be grateful that she had optimized their whole system. Juliette looked at the bald man doggedly standing by the cabin's entrance, arms crossed stiffly and mouth turned in a stern frown, and grinned sheepishly. They were pretty light with the punishment, all things considered. For messing with the electricity, she was only confined within the ship's deckhouse, and was to remain there until they'd arrived at Azure Bay.

Juliette stared up at the bald man again, the gears in her head grinding as she tried to come up with a way to get past him. Light punishment or not, she didn't take well to sitting still and she'd been stuck in the room for five hours now. Her Klefki hovered beside her, the keys he collected rattling as laughter racked his frame, watching in amusement as his trainer tried to sweet talk her way out of confinement. So far, it was a no go. Juliette deliberately jutted her lower lip out and batted her eyelash in what she thought was an attractive way, pleading with the most persuasive tone she could muster, but nope. No reaction at all. 

She clicked her tongue and plopped down on the leather couch huffily, throwing her hands up in an exaggerated display of defeat. Bah, that cutesy act used to be super effective when she was younger. She supposed she needed to find another tactic now. Lockhart was still laughing at her, but he unlinked his arms and patted her hair in sympathy anyway. 

Juliette blew a few loose strands of her bangs out of her face. "Guess I should just wait it out, huh, Locke?" 

There was another rattling of keys as the Klefki nodded, still looking very much amused.

Luckily, the wait didn't turn out to be that long. They arrived at the port city within an hour, and soon as they had docked, she was allowed to join the other chosen trainers disembarking the ship. Juliette reveled at her freedom and bounded out and down to the docks with a spring in her step. She passed by the other trainers as she made her way down, some of whom she had gotten to know during her time under Bill's tutelage. Cynthia and her had been acquainted just weeks ago, in fact, after she upgraded her Pokedex's software. The blonde gave her a greeting in passing before returning to her heated debate with Drake.

As she reached the bridge, she took a moment to soak in the sight, welcoming the gentle sea breeze that ruffled her hair and tickled her nose. The ocean stretched endlessly beyond the horizon, a sheet of sparkling blue, broken only by the occasional water Pokemon jumping out. There were Wingulls and Pelippers circling above them, cawing happily amongst themselves. Juliette reached for the configured Dive Ball on her belt and released her Nova out for a quick dive. The Starmie spun into the water with flourish, its gem gleaming bright as it excitedly plunged deeper into the ocean.

As she waited for Nova to return, Juliette caught sight of an imminent battle just off the port. She took a seat on a nearby bench and watched them, curiosity piqued. From what she could glean, the Unova ex-champion was being challenged by a trainer, and there was a dark haired trainer willing to officiate the match. She recognized them all as passengers of the ship, the few whom she had yet to get acquainted with. Although, as a fellow Unovan, Juliette knew about Jay Rayne and his record-breaking conquest. Her sister was a pretty big fan of his, but then he got involved in that scandal. She'd always wondered why he beat up that trainer. Maybe she could ask him about it...

With nothing else to do, Juliette and Locke cheered from the sidelines as the battle began, whooping enthusiastically just for the heck of it. It was pretty exciting watching an ex-champ battle.
