A few moments passed, and the object came into better view, becoming what appeared to be a fishing boat. Trailing it was a white mist of sea water that was being kicked up from the horse power of the vessel. Suddenly there was a loud kick of the engine and the boat slowed down quickly. Now about 500 yards from shore, Ike could distinguish figures of the crew on board the vessel. One of them was giving orders while three others were doing the first's bidding. One of the figures working lifted up what looked like a giant ball and tossed it over-board. It floated for a minute, but then sank and caused a rapid amount of bubbles to rise to the surface where it sank.
Ike pulled out his TADS and sent a message to everyone.
Message: Any available hands in the HQ please report to the surface. We have some shady characters in the bay.

Reaper receives a message on his TADS, opens it, and reads it, then grabs a few pokeballs and heads out to Ike's location. "Hey Ike! -yawn- Whats going on?" He asked sitting on the floor.

Ike shook his head and reached for Mantine's Poke Ball, releasing his partner into the water.
"Dunno. About to go check it out. You with me?" Ike said, hopping on Mantine, ready to surf out to the vessel.

"Sure, lets do it." He said as he called out Floatzel and waited for Ike's orders.

"Right." Ike said quickly, and Mantine was off toward the vessel.
It would seem that Team Aqua wasn't without notice, for a few of the men spotted the two trainers heading toward them. One pointed as the others looked at each other, shrugging and eventually returning to their work.
The bubbles that had been rising from the ball they dropped into the water had ceased, and they were preparing to drop another one in until the two Aqua members halted 12 feet before the ship.
"Howdy." said Ike in a pleasant tone.
"Hi... could we help you with something?" asked one of the workers.
"Yeah, could you tell me what you're doing?" Ike asked.
One of the workers, a woman with smooth, flowing blond hair walked up to the railing and peered down at the two trainers. She wore faded camouflage pants and a white tank top.
"We could ask you the same thing. You're on private pokemon wildlife reserves; no trainers aloud." she said, forcefully.
Ike, perplexed, twitched his eyebrows and looked over at Reaper.

Ike sighed and went on.
"This Island is owned and protected by Team Aqua, meaning you can take whatever you just dropped in the water there and leave." Ike said, losing his pleasantness.
The woman sneered.
"Team Aqua? Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while... So this is where you went after Surge had his way with your lot back last fall." she grinned.
Ike's mind flashed back to last October. Team Aqua's former HQ on a cliff near Lilycove City was a scene of bombardment and destruction. The woman continued.
"I must admit I had the pleasure to press the button which fired the first missile at your little hide out." she said.
Ike pulled out a Poke Ball.
"General Surge was dis-honorably discharged for that, you know." she went on, pulling out a Poke Ball as well. "Looks like we'll have to worm Aqua out of here as well."
Ike pointed his Poke Ball at the boat and motioned for Reaper to do the same.
"You're leaving, now."
"You gonna make us?" the woman laughed, as if a little kid had just given her an order. "Then make us."
Ike turned to Reaper.
"Battle one of the workers. I'll take care of the woman. Looks like they have a couple ground types on them." Ike said, only having a hunch of what kind of pokemon they had.

Reaper called out Bayleef, and the worker called out Sandshrew.
Bayleef vs. Sandshrew
"Bayleef use Energy Ball." He said as Bayleef shot an orb of green energy and struck Sandshrew, dealing great damage. The Sandshrew used Aerial Ace and hit Bayleef doing good damage. "Bayleef use Razor Leaf." He said as leafs sharp as razors were shot at Sandshrew fainting the mouse pokemon.
The worker got angry and returned Sandshrew and called out Cubone.
Bayleef vs. Cubone
"Bayleef use Razor Leaf again." He said as leafs sharp as razors were shot at Cubone dealing a critical hit, but the Cubone still stood. Cubone used Ice Beam, shooting a beam of ice power at Bayleef dealing good damage, but Bayleef still stood. "Bayleef use Seed Bomb." He said as Bayleef shot a bomb that looked like a seed at Cubone, fainting the pokemon. The worker gave up, and returned his pokemon and stood back away from Reaper, While Reaper returned Bayleef.

The woman called out a Swampert. Ike pulled back his Poke Ball and jumped off Mantine, sending him into battle.
"Mantine, Agility!" Ike said.
"Swampert, Hammer Arm!" the woman ordered.
As the Swampert dove off from the deck into the water, Mantine closed its eyes and took a deep breath, relaxing himself. Swampert was plowing through the water, swimming hard and fast, and with a sudden leap into the air, it came down upon Mantine with both fists like a hammer. Mantine, though, swam swiftly to the side and dodged the attack.
"Great! Now, Mantine, use Bullet Seed!" Ike said as he floated in the water.
"Swampert, Bide!" the woman ordered.
Mantine took in a breath, aimed at Swampert, and began pelting it with tiny seeds like a machine gun. Swampert was lifted out of the water and was skipped back a few feet, taking the attack hard. After the barrage, the Swampert didn't retaliate. It simply swam under neath the water and stayed there.
"Mantine, use Confuse Ray!" Ike said.
Mantine swamp under neath the surface and located Swampert. He then began sending invisible waves toward Swampert. As soon as the waves made contact, Swampert began to loose buoyancy and balance. It was obviously confused.
"Now, Swampert! Use Bide!" shouted the woman, but the Swampert was struggling to reach the surface. When it heard its command, it began punching the water aimlessly, eventually hitting itself and knocking it silly.
"Now, Mantine! Use another Bullet Seed!" Ike called.
Mantine began spitting more seeds quickly at the Swampert, not taking much to knock it out.
The woman saw she had lost the first round and with a frustrated look, returned her Swampert.
"Come out, Marowak! she said, releasing her second pokemon this time on the deck of her ship. The Marowak jumped up at the railing to find its adversary.
"Mantine, Bubblebeam!" Ike said. Mantine appeared at the surface and began blowing a beam of bubbles toward the Marowak. The bubbles exploded upon impact, doing heavy damage.
The woman reached in her pocket and pulled out a squirt bottle, and began squirting her Marowak with Defense X. Marowak's body afterward shined as if it were made of steel.
"Marowak, use Fling!" the woman ordered. The Marowak pulled out a metronome. Tossing it a few times in the air, it hurled it at Mantine at a speed that couldn't be dodged. Mantine shook of the impact of the item as it returned to the Marowak.
"Mantine, Hydropump!" Ike said. Mantine took a deep breath and shot a currant of water at Marowak. The Marowak began doing something not to far from gymnastics up on the railing, dodging the water as it came toward him. Mantine fired one Hydro Pump after another, but missing each time he did. Finally it was Marowak's turn again.
"Fling, Marowak!" the woman ordered. The Marowak brought out its metronome again and hurled it at Mantine, this time causing more damage, as if it threw it harder some how. Mantine, though, got back into attacking position.
"Waterfall, Mantine!" Ike said.
The water around Mantine began to churn and bubble, and suddenly there was a wall of water lifting out of the sea. The woman and the Marowak looked up at the wall of water awe struck and flabbergasted. The water suddenly came back down upon the ship, knocking Marowak out and almost sending the woman over board. The battle was won, and Mantine returned to Ike so he could get out of the water once again.

Ike nodded at Reaper, congratulating him as well. The woman on the boat was giving orders left and right to her henchmen.
"Pick up anchor, abort the mission. Navigator, make way back to base camp." she said, her smooth hair now flustered and soaked. She turned back to Reaper and Ike with a grin as she tossed something the size of a pen into the water.
"Surge's Militia will be back. Sync your little dual screens to that, Aqua squirts." she threatened. The boat roared back to life and sped away, leaving the bay and eventually site. Ike peered into the water below and could see a blinking red light sinking deeper into the bay.
"It's a bomb! Quick! Have any psychic or ghost types on you?" Ike asked Reaper.

Ike nodded once more.
"Think of a place far away from here to teleport the bomb away to. Not any place where people or pokemon will get hurt, though!" Ike thought of quick.
The red light below them began to blink a little faster.
