Red's POV.

After a while I was starting to feel exhausted from piloting the boat, Kut offered to keep watch but I knew we couldn't risk stopping.

I felt my system practically dying to shut down but I forced myself to keep going, there wasn't any time for rest.

Every time I blinked I had to force myself to open my eyes again. A warning went off inside my head telling me I was at less than 2% of battery.

"Kut... keep watch... wake me up if... anything happens." I mumbled with a yawn and fell asleep.

"Red! Red! Red wake up!" Kut shouted at me and I groggily opened my eyes, I had about 30% battery so I had been asleep for around a half hour or so.

"Kut, what is it?" I asked, getting up slowly.

"That." Kut pointed at a real genuine pirate ship.

At the front was a bowsprit, underneath was a Dragonite figurehead. Further was the head of the ship, then the foremast with large sails attached to it.

Then there was the spar deck, and the stairs leading up the the quarterdeck. The main mast stood tall, holding the crows nest and a flag with a skull and crossbones.

In front of the ship was a Kingdra, followed by two Seaking on either side. Then two Launturn, two Quagsire, and two Huntail.

The ship got closer to us and then a Poliwhirl, and two Golduck jumped down onto our boat. I quickly raced for the controls but was stopped in my tracks by an ice beam smacking me against the side of the wall around our ships deck.

"This ship be ours now!" The Poliwhirl roared, and then one of the Golducks knocked me out with an ice punch.

When I awoke I was tied to the foremast, and despite my struggling couldn't break free.

"Let me go!" I shouted, but none of the pirates paid me any attention. A Krabby and Omanyte scampered by me.

"All hands on deck!" A gruff voice shouted, and two Barbracle, the Krabby and Omanyte from before, a Skrelp, a Surskit, two Golduck, a Poliwhirl, a Pampour, and a Palpitoad ran to the main deck.

"Here's comes the captain!" Another voice called and a Chatot flew into view, followed by a Spearow wearing a black pirate hat with crossbones on it.

"Well well, looks like sleepin beauty has finally woken. This be good news, perhaps he can give us some information unlike those swords who be unwillin to help." The Spearow rambled on, meanwhile I had to try not to burst out laughing.

"Aye, you two, untie him!" The bird Pokémon pointed his wing at the two Barbracle and they untied the ropes, freeing me from the mast.

"Alright you scallywag, you're comin with me. And I want those other two tied up!" He ordered and walked off to the quarterdeck. I figured it would be a better idea to just follow him since I was surrounded by water Pokémon.

Once we reached the quarterdeck he turned to me with a glare.

"Alright you, tell me how you came to be with one of those supply ships for the crazed scientist!" He growled.

"We stole it from Canalave, we wanted to sneak into Snowpoint and stop Arcadia." I replied, and he smirked.

"Aye, looks like we have something in common then. The names Captain Jack Spearow, what's your name?" Jack asked me.

"Red. Now can you tell me where my friends are?" I questioned and he frowned slightly.

"You mean the swords? We had to tie them up below deck because they kept tryin to kill me crew. They have a lot of spunk I'll give them that!" Jack answered.

"Well can I see them? I can probably get them to calm down." I offered and he nodded.

"Alright, let me just make an announcement to my crew. Chatot, tell everyone that the two swords and the red Rotom are now honorary members of the Black Rodger!" Jack ordered and the Chatot flew off.

"Black Rodger?" I asked.

"Yep, she he the finest ship in the Sinnoh sea! Now I'll be takin you and yer fiends to Snowpoint, because that man need to her stopped!" Jack told me and I nodded.

"Thanks for all your help Jack-" I started.

"Aye! It's CAPTAIN Jack!" He screeched.

"Alright alright sorry! Thanks for you help Captain Jack." I finished, before floating down the stairs and seeing my friends.

"Hi guys!" I waved.

"Red! You are alive!" Kut yelled happily.

"Yep, and the captain said he's gonna help us stop Arcadia." I told them what had happened with Jack.

"Red! Why did you tell him?" Kut asked.

"Yeah, you keep your lips sealed and never give the enemy any information!" Belle added.

"Look guys it's alright, Jack's helping us now because I told him." I explained.

"Yes but what if he had been working for Arcadia, then what?" Kut pressed me for answers.

"Well then...ummm... we'd get through it!" I said quickly.

"How?" Belle inquired.

"Seriously guys I don't know everything! We just would!" I shouted at them, smoke rising from my head in frustration.

"Next time think before you talk." Kut chided and he went off to the stairs with Belle.

Militem's POV.

"I don't know what I've been told!" I started chanting, but Shin-Obi glared at me to stop.

"Do you want to draw the attention of a wild Pokémon?" He asked and I shook my head.

"But we've been traveling for days and I haven't gotten to do one militarily chant!" I protested, snow blowing in our faces and wind trying to push us back.

"Look if I'm correct than Arcadia should be just a two more hours of walking." Shin-Obi told me, and I sighed.

"Isn't there any way to go faster?" I asked frowning. "Like Rapidash?"

"One a Rapidash would burn both of us, two where are we going to find a Rapidash? And three I can go faster but ok accommodating for your slow speeds!" Shin-Obi snarled.

"Me? I'm slow!?" My eyes were wide in rage.

"Yes! Yes you are!" Shin-Obi turned to face me, his eyes and the snow contrasted for a strange sight of black and white.

"Well then why don't I just leave?" I asked.

"Fine, bye!" And with that Shin-Obi ran off.

"Wait! Hey! You were supposed to get all sad and then we'd talk and everything would be ok!" I screamed, but he was long gone.

"Arceus dammit!"
