There was a splash sound followed by a cry of a creature in pain. Liam looked toward the source, and saw a Pokemon that he had never seen before. It had a light blue top and a white underbelly. It was visibly shivering, and looked injured too boot.
"Finizen, the Dolphin Pokemon. A Water-type. Native to the Paldea Region, Finizen likes playing with others of its kind using the water ring on its tail. It uses ultrasonic waves to sense the emotions of other living creatures."
"Paldea?" Liam thought aloud. "Poor thing is far from home. judging by these scrapes it has been having a rough time lately. this cold water can't be good for it if it is native to the oceans around Paldea."
"Rotomdex said it can sense emotions of living creatures, I wonder..." Liam thought to himself. he easily reached out his hand toward the dolphin, and gently stroked its head.
"Who hurt you?" Liam thought.
"Hey, punk get away from my pay day!" Growled a voice. A Avalug-themed ship approached, breaking the ice out of its way. A man dressed in generic pirate garb, with a Chatot perched on his tri corner hat was standing on the deck.
"That is me prize, netted it off the shores of Paldea."
"How could you be so cruel to a Pokemon?" Liam yelled. "Pokemon are living, breathing creatures. They have wants and needs." Liam stood up while keeping eye contact on the pirate. "People and Pokemon alike, share this one plant. To treat Pokemon like tools, or possessions. That is inexcusable."
"Argh, like you can stop us." The pirate mocked.
"All hands on deck!" the Chatot squawked.
Thirty deck hands all rushed out tossing out two Pokemon each. A small army of fighting-types, Particularly of the Machop and Makuhita lines, along with a pair of Medicham were sent out. The Pirate Captain sent out the only Machamp and a Bisharp.
"Sixty-two Pokemon, huh?" Liam thought to himself. Liam called out in his mind and Sherlock appeared. "Sherlock, protect Finizen please."
Sherlock nodded in understanding and used Confusion to left Finizen out of the cold waters and over to him so he could protect him better. At the same time, Sherlock telepathically asked Shiranui to send a message to Officer Jenny not only to deal with these pirates, but to arrange transport for Finizen back to its home.
"Charge!" The captain called as the army of fighting-types swarmed the heroes. "Claim Their Pokemon for our army!"
"Everyone! It's time to shine!" Beckham the Raboot, Drakloak, Smaug the Charizard, Goodra, a shiny Flapple, and Toxel emerged.
"Beckham, Bounce! Drakloak use Agility!" Beckham soared up into the air and Drakloak began to swiftly move around the oncoming fluries of punches.
"Smaug, Flapple, take to the sky! Tearful look! Goodra, Dragon Pulse!" The rest of Liam's pokemon did as requested, with Goodra getting between Toxel and the enemies after the debuff took affect. Flapple and Smaug tag teamed to try and corral as many of the enemies into as big of a cluster as possible, Liam used the time to swap out the Dragnium Z for Electrium Z, giving his friends a chance to hop in to help, Hoping they would see Beckham's bounce would land at an angle to splash a lot of the enemies with cold water.
