Despite all of the goings on, Kaya, Odd and Lykas had all been rather busy. Odd was keeping enemies at bay by having Cadenza use Silver Wind to push the attacking ffish back, though it took him a few moments to snap to attention, after which he yelled, "Ein had his fate coming to him. He was a murderer and a psychopath. We did what had to be done to protect the world from him." He could see from the look on ALoe's face, which he had only seen a few times thus far, that he believed the team to be a bunch of ruthless thugs. He should probably get a history lesson before long so he at least got the whole story before judging the decisions that had been made before his time. Lykas had recalled Mykel in the presence of these Dark-types and released his Dewott, Chinami, instead. The Dewott instantly began to Revenge kill a few Carvahna coming towards her, throwing the fish back into the ocean with teeth grit as their Rough Skin scrapped her arms nearly raw with each blow. Kaya, on the other hand, frowned when he realized something was going on here. Anael had been wandering across the deck at her own pace after her last attack and had somehow managed to get bitten by a Carvahna. her shell protected her from the piercing teeth but what he wasn't sure of was the simple fact that she seemed to be unaffected by the raging darkness pouring from those fangs. Pulling out his SNAG, he scanned her to see if she was using some sort of special new attack he hadn't been aware of. GRAY ~Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokemon.Fairy-type. It transforms the kindness and joy of others into happiness, which it stores in it's shell. Additional information unavailable during data synch.~ "Wait, what? Fairy-type? What the hell is that?!" Kaya asked, scratching his head slightly before he witnessed Anael's reaction. The little Togepi looked at Carvahna, face-to-face and let out an ear-splitting shriek with Hyper Voice that packed the power to launch the Savage Pokemon off of her without a hitch. During all this, Aqua's seemed to have arrived without any of the three noticing yet their Pokemon went right to the defense of others without even noticing the new trainers.

With all the Pokemon swarming the boat, the thought of a capture crossed Aloe's mind once or twice. Despite his preference in ghost Pokémon, he would probably still need other types sooner or later. A water type would be good for if the S.S. Anne was destroyed, which was probably going to happen. At least then he wouldn't drown. So Aloe finally decided to make a catch. Thankfully, the Carvanha from earlier made the perfect target. As the fish was sucked inside the Poké Ball, Aloe jumped at the sound of another attacking group. Until then, he'd been focused on saving the ship. Now he remembered that he was supposed to be rescuing the bird hybrid and her trainer friend. Lucky for him, spotting the bird hybrid was hard to miss. "Hybrid-sama," he called as he approached. "Things are getting dangerous around here. It won't be long before this ship turns into the Titanic." Looking over the side of the ship, Aloe marveled at the damage just a few Sharpedo and Carvanha could cause. "How's your...everything," Aloe continued. "We might have to bail before you-know-who shows up." Though the possibly of a sea monster was slim, Aloe didn't want to jinx himself by saying the name out loud. Actions Aloe Talking to Amaranth Natsu Standing By Hina Standing By

"I have a name." Amaranth spoke up in response to being called "hybrid". "It's Amaranth... and I'll be okay." Perhaps, maybe, she didn't want too many to be worrying about her. That, or she could grasp that there were worse matters what with an all-star showing of teams, Pokemon showing up from all sorts of orifices, and having little idea of what the heck was going on to attract so many out of the woodwork.

"Anything of value? Hm...I don't think so. Other than the S.S. Anne its self, that is. Even then, it's just a ship. Yes, it's an expensive one but most of its value just comes from its cultural status so beats me." He answered Blizz with a shrug, even he wasn't sure at to what the big deal was.
The rest of the Carvanha were dispatched, but that was the least of their worries. As Flareon Flame Charged into one of the Mightyena from behind, it would notice the other two fleeing back from where they came as two streams of fire raced towards them in a hallway. The attackers would soon be known as they ran out after them, Houndoom.
"We've found you now, you slippery wet rats!" A man with a stern yet proper tone of voice snapped as he stepped out of the hallway after the Houndoom. The man was dressed in a red suit, his arms behind his back as two other people, a man and woman, came out onto the deck after him, also dressed in read. "Maxie, you and your hot heads follow us all the way here?" Archie snarled as he seen the man. "Of course, I can't allow you to destroy this ship. Not when it can be converted into a land traveling vessel. Team Magma claims this ship for themselves." He huffed. Not much else would be said between the two as the grunts of the opposing team now began to exchange attacks.
"...let me get this straight so far. For whatever reason Team Cipher was aboard this ship, undercover. When they saw Amaranth they thought they could take her back to their base for further experimenting. However, Team Rocket showed up out of nowhere and attacked Cipher, citing that Cipher had trespassed on their turf. Then, Team Plasma appears protesting in the lounge, which isn't that surprising and are now swimming with the fishes. Afterwards Team Aqua attacks the Anne wanting to destroy it, saying it is hurting the ocean, unsurprising as well. And finally, Team Magma knew about this and as rivals to Aqua they planned to stop them so they can take the Anne themselves for whatever reason. I feel like there is someone missing from this mess...oh well." Sub just sighed and saw all the frightened passengers, then noticing the lifeboats on the sides of the ships. Toren would come up to Sub and fill him in on what happened inside the ship.
"Alright, from what Toren just told me, we got gang fighting going on inside and outside of the ship. Meanwhile we have civilians scared for their life." Sub then took out his SNAG and tried to have GRAY send Claydol. Claydol was unable to teleport to them. "Okay, can't teleport, obviously Cipher's doing as history might tell me. Here is the plan. Aloe, Amaranth can't defend herself well with the sudden change to her make up, but she still has her Pokemon to help her. That said, I want someone with her. Stay by Amaranth and find a safe room and stay there, away from Cipher. Kaya, you take everyone else and help get people on the life boats to escape back to Vermilion, I'm sure Lykas can help greatly in the water. Blizz, you're with me. I'm not too concerned with the water lovers and the land freaks, their fighting is just an ideological one which others here can take down easily. Me and you need to go have a talk with Rocket and Cipher on the inside. I don't like the fact that Cipher is here, and Rocket doesn't make things better. I say we get answers." Sub said as he returned Pym.

I'm not sure how much time we got thanks to the Sharpedo. Probably half-hour at the most, and that's probably being on the most generous side. Let's move."

Reno continued his rodeo on board the Sharpedo, now situated on it's fin and whipping it onward with the piece of metal piping that was previously a bo staff. It took about five minutes before the Sharpedo grew wise and gave a mighty buck, sending the red head hurtling into the captain's room. Picking himself up off the floor, Reno looked around the area before deciding to raising a single hand in hopes of getting the helmsman's attention more than the smashing through the window. "Yes, sir drivin' the boat. I would like to ask where this thing is going? There seems to be a lot of interestin' people on here and I know where I'm gonna end up, so I just wanna make sure I didn't get on the ship ta hell." Reno questioned, maintaining a straight face throughout his strange question even as he watched a few of the other crew turn to him and stare like he had just yelled about the sky being purple and the ocean being green.
Leslie watched Reno's flight with a small grin of satisfaction before snapping back to attention with the two color coded teams lining up to duel on the deck. Returning the two Pokemon she had out on deck, the little girl decided to follow the leader with the other two, secretly of course. You always need a surprise with these teams and a little girl armed to her teeth with Pokeballs would hopefully be good enough to count for that.

Kaya nodded to Sub and he and Lykas started off towards the side of the ship. He'd barely made it two steps before a Chatot landed on his head. "Wow...I haven't seen Replay in the field in a while...." Lykas commented at the sight of the bird.
"Replay?" Kaya asked as he walked. "Odd's Chatot. It was one of his first Pokemon, I think. He's good for relaying messages so he might have sent the little guy to help out." Lykas responded.
"Oh....Then send this message." Kaya said as he held up a hand for the parrot, who hopped onto it and listened carefully as Kaya's spoke. "Everyone head to the lifeboat boarding stations as quickly as possible. Stay away from the rails and try to keep towards inner walls as much as possible."
"Head to lifeboats. Make like Spinarak and stick to the walls. Don't fall off."
"Close enough....." Kaya groaned. He assumed he'd must have expected too much from the Chatot as it flew off. In the meantime, he and Lykas began herding nearby passengers to the lifeboats, themselves. The silverette made sure to recall his Togepi before moving again, though. She wasn't being left to her own devices amidst all this.
"Everyone! Please move toward the lifeboats as quickly as you can. We'll protect you while you're boarding." Lykas called out, grinning inwardly when he heard Odd's smartaleck Chatot reciting Kaya's words exactly as stated. The articulate mimic seemed to enjoy teasing people like him. Gullibility and naivete were the perfect combination for deception, after all.

It wasn't really that much of a surprise that the bird, who gave her name as Amaranth, didn't like being called hybrid. Aloe only called her that for lack of a better name, adding the "-sama" to make it sound less offensive. "Sorry...Amaranth," he corrected himself. "I'm Aloe. Oh...and those two are Hina and Natsu." As they gave their greetings, Aloe heard someone else come to the ship. Though she said she was fine, Aloe still stood in front of her in a protective manner. As it turned out, yet another team had made an appearance on the ship. That made five groups: Cipher, Rocket, Aqua, Snagem, and now Magma, too. And those were only the ones Aloe could see. He didn't even know about Plasma's appearance. "And to think this all started on a mission to save Amaranth and that other guy. Speaking of which, where is he?"Looking around, Aloe spotted him next to the man he had been told was Snagem's leader. He hadn't even noticed him until then. But Sub had noticed Aloe, telling him to stay by Amaranth and to find a safe place to hide. "Already on it," Aloe said in response. "Amaranth. Don't you think all the rich people left a long time ago? Maybe that means their rooms are clear. The upper decks seem like the safest place. Plus its the last area to get flooded." And with that, Aloe was having the fiery Natsu clear a path for them. Actions Aloe Coming up with a plan Natsu Tackling anyone that gets in his way Hina Groaning

Amaranth didn't say much in response, only nodding. She could hear Sub, though, and while she wanted to object, she knew well enough not to challenge that. He was right, she was still having issues forming any sort of attack, and her wings still felt weighted down. Not so much that she couldn't move now, but she'd still be better off on Togekiss' back and fighting that way.
"I've always heard rich people tend to complain about problems..." She commented, tapping Togekiss' head to have her follow Aloe.
Flareon was still caught up in his assault, stopping after it slammed into one of the Mightyena and noticing the other two taking off. He gave a proud stance and puffed his chest fur, thinking he ran the other two off with aplomb. He was soon deflated when a pair of Houndoom showed up, followed by two others. Then the two groups of people starting a squabble of their own and fighting.
It took Flareon all of five seconds to decide to get away, using the excess fire chi to speed off and catch up to Amaranth again.

The captain, which Reno intruded on, just stared at the man as he barged into his room. His Poliwrath however was quick on the uptake and almost instantly snatched up Reno, protecting his trainer from the intruder. "Kalos...didn't you look at your ticket?" The captain asked Reno, confused as to why the man suddenly dove right into his room.
Meanwhile, the passengers would obey without question for the most part as they fled to the lifeboats. However, some bitter Aqua grunts saw this and unleashed their Zubats on the boats, the bats attempting to bite through the ropes in order to send them falling into the water prematurely, causing the people to panic.
Things would be calm for Amaranth and Aloe for the time being, the way into the ship was surprisingly quiet, maybe too quiet. Regardless, they should find a safe place and quick, not taking this peace for granted.
As for Sub, he easily found his way to where some Rockets and Ciphers were waging war, in the kitchen no less as he heard the pots clanging from the outside. Bronzor throwing them around with Confusion, and Rattata nimbly dodging them. One thing he did notice was that Cipher had what appeared to be a leader of the group here. There was a large muscular peon, stood out greatly from the others and seemed to be calling the shots. His Mawile seemed to be dominating the Rockets.
"This is all you Blizz. I mean, look at this guy. I bet he thinks he is tough. Why don't you speed on in there and grab this guy so we can get some answers?" Sub asked Blizz as he held the door open to look into the kitchen. None of the grunts noticed him.

Sub asked Blizz as he held the door open to look into the kitchen. None of the grunts noticed him. "The Dumb Muscle? Fine." I rushed over towards the big guy and went to tackle the brute to the floor, then went to lift him up by his uniform's collar, staring at the peon dead in the eyes. "Hi there. How about you use the the one muscle that matters and tell us a few things, huh?"

Reno blinked at the captain owlishly before preventing himself from asking a stupid question. Content with his position in the Poliwrath's arms, Reno decided a new approach would be fun. "Sirs, your boat is under attack by...two, three, four...five criminal groups, all likely tryin' to start themselves up in Kalos. So I would recommend abandonin' ship in order to avoid any collateral damage." Reno calmly spoke, eyes shut and a almost goofy grin on his face. The sailors around their captain simply let their jaws drop and attempted to stealthily approach the door and get the heck off this boat.
Leslie would peer past the corner at Sub and Blizz as they approached their group of thugs, prepared to unleash hell before hearing a few stray cheers from where the lifeboats were. Sighing before deciding to turn back and check, she soon found the Zubats attempting to rip through the ropes currently holding up the boats. Reaching to the cluster of Pokeballs she currently had on hand, two caught her eye and quickly ended up on deck, revealing a Sneasal and a Spearow, both snarling at their opponents. Two of the Zubats broke off from the pack to face the unevolved Pokemon, the two bats opening up with Supersonics. The noise would attempt to confuse the two small Pokemon before a sudden sharp power chord rang out, clashing and eliminating the supersonic attack with its power. Tsuki took advantage of this new opening to launch a Metal Claw and bat the Zubat into the air, a small squeak announcing the pain, followed by another squeak as Mauri Aerial Aced its fellow to the same location. The bats would simply look to each other before spiraling downwards, both targeting Mauri from opposite sides to smack the Bird with twin Acrobatic attacks. The aerial duel continued with them launching Air Cutters to send the small Spearow falling to the deck from the sudden flash of violence. Watching her beloved friend plummet towards the water, Leslie could not speak not move, attracting the attention of the opportunistic Zubats who launched twin Air Cutters to strike her down. Tsuki, being more alert, dove in front of these attacks, sending her flying into Leslie, snapping her out of her stupor. Tsuki would take advantage of the clear skies and fire off an Icy Wind, battering the two Zubat that broke off from the pack and wounding the others still attempting to gnaw at the ropes.
Back in real world, Leslie rushed for the railing, a cry of "Mauri!!" ringing through the air as Leslie saw the water only had a few bubbles and some ripples where she had initially seen the Spearow fall. Panicking, a loud cry from the sky sent her running for cover, dragging away the Sneasal as she fired off another Icy Wind to repel the Zubat. Hiding inside the ship and cuddling with the struggling Sneasal in an attempt to calm herself down, Leslie began to rock back and forth slightly, muttering to herself before the cry rang out again, this time snapping user mind into a state of fight or flight. Sprinting through the halls and getting lost swiftly, Leslie popped out the main door to the lifeboats again to see a new sight.
A massive Fearow, wings slightly tattered, stood, figuratively, dueling the two Zubat with its massive beak drilling into the Zubat as they flew at it from side angles in an attempt to fend it off. Tears fell out of Leslie's eyes as she realized exactly why the Fearow was there and dropped the Sneasal, allowing it to safely leap onto Mauri's back and get to work, co-or donating attacks to Beat Up the Zubat and send them tumbling to water. Facing the next few Zubat, the new duo prepared for a much more challenging battle, even if Mauri looked to be favoring one wing over the other.
Meanwhile, in one of the lifeboats, a single young woman would stare up at the Zubat trying eat through the ropes supporting their ships. Tapping her guitar a few times, she began to debate what exactly she could do to help.

Kaya was quick to react when the zubat appeared to battle.He released Josephine and with a bit of rubbing on the little Pokemon's head, he gave her a smile. "Show these things what Bad Luck is really like, Josie. You suffered enough before I found you to know it better than anyone else." He said to her with a small smile.
Josie nodded and went straight to work. Her flurry of attacks began with a sniper-like Shadow Ball. The Zubat victim lunged at her with Poison Fang only to be caught in the side by a Quick Attack and used as a stepping stone to Double Edge another before Josephine Detected an incoming Leech Life and Bit down on a third. Spinning the bitten bat around, Josephine hurled the Flying-type at a fourth before she was hit in the back by an Air Slash. Flipping around, she unleashed her Trump Card, a surge of energy striking down her assailant with little effort. Detecting another incoming attack, she zoomed out of the danger zone, tackling one of the remaining bats in the horde with Quick Attack. This one fell, too and it's fellows attempted to protect themselves with a joint Supersonic. Kaya immediately reacted, attempting to recall the Eevee. Josephine refused to return, attempting to resist the confusion the triple noise barrage brought with it. Fighting through it, she managed to Bite one of the remaining three Zubat, distracting the other two long enough to hit the second with a Quick Attack just as it released an Air Slash. She grunted as she was launched backwards. Catching herself on her feet, she charged up a ball of shadows before herself and fired off a Shadow Ball at the last remaining bat though the attack didn't get far as a dozen star-shaped beams collided with it inches from her face.
The shattered Ghost-type attack released a surge of chi into the immediate area. Zubat seemed to leech off that energy and began to glow brightly, growing in size until it had evolved into a Golbat before Kaya's eyes. Unfortunately for it, Josephine had enough energy left in her to throw a Double Edge at it at the last second. More unfortunately, the recoil left Josephine unable to continue fighting. She wasn't unconscious but she was only just barely hanging onto consciousness. "Great job, Josie. I knew you could do it." The trainer told his Pokemon with a smile. He looked over his shoulder to yell at Lykas for not helping, only to see that his friend was in a worse position than he had imagined. Lykas had three Pokemon out, each fighting off an entire flock of Zubat of their own.
"Nuregami, Aqua Tail! Cascade, Wide Guard! Sphynx, Discharge!" The cries for action came with such fluid grace and control that Kaya had to wonder just when Lykas had evolved into such a skilled trainer in his own right. He'd been a childish and reckless kid last time he'd seen him in a battle with just a Feebas and a Ralts on his team. To watch, Lykas' Pokemon weren't even worried about the outcome of their battles. It was a good thing no one could read his thoughts at the moment because Lykas was actually very worried. He hadn't been in a position like this in quite some time.

As they made their way to the rich people's cabins, Aloe came to a stop as an idea came to mind. "Wait a minute," he whispered. "We're supposed to be finding somewhere to hide, right?" Pulling his hood over his head, Aloe backed up to the wall and began to slide against it. "We gotta sneak away so we don't get caught. Gotta be like ninjas...or at least agents." Channeling his inner Solid Snake, he tried his best to employ stealth. He couldn't say that for everyone else, though. However, it turned out that Aloe didn't even need to be quiet. The trip to the upper decks was actually uneventful. Not even a wild Pokémon seemed to appear. If Aloe learned anything from spy flicks, it was moments like these that always led to trouble. "It's a trap!" Aloe thought. "That's the only explanation!" With this in mind Aloe backed up against the wall next to the door. As he turned the knob, he expected something to pop out, so he wanted to stay out of sight. He motioned for Amaranth and the others to do the same. Actions Aloe Opening a door Natsu Hina

"What the- let go of me, punk!" The muscled peon would resist against Blizz's grip, the hybrid noticing that the man was very strong for just a human, maybe even strong enough to free himself with time, too bad he didn't have the same level of speed as Blizz though. He would get a little brave however as he attempted to deliver a kick against Blizz's midsection.
"Rocket again, right?" The captain said with a sigh. "Never had anyone other than those lot attacking the ship before. What about the passengers?" The captain asked, fearing for their safety. "Oh they are quit fine." A red haired woman sneered as her Purugly rammed the door open. The female was dressed in dark grey and silver outfit, complete with hoop skirt. She had a very space-themed outfit going on. "Though we could care less about them. Now then, onto more important matters. I am here to sink this ship with all those other annoying 'teams' on board. Fortunately for me, the Whirl Islands aren't too far from here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to steer this clunker right into a whirlpool and send the competition under!" The woman cackled, her Purugly now charging towards the captain.
Back with Aloe and Amaranth. Once the door was open Aloe would find a person inside, sitting on a bed, petting an Eevee. The brown haired man would smile at his guests, motioning for them to enter. "Come on in, it's safe in here." He reassured them. "It's a mad house out there, isn't it?" He said with a laugh.
Back on the deck, the Zubat were being taken care of just fine, though they seemed to come in droves. That however, was the least of the worries as something very big rammed into the ship, a Wailord, obviously owned by Team Aqua's Archie as he seemed to be ordering it and it was now trying to capsize the vessel.
