Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Everything is ok on my end," Cody hollered to Memo, almost at the top of the ladder. He looked down to see Memo and Allen finishing up their battles. They looked like little ants all the way down there, but that didn't scare him. At least not until the wind blew, shaking what seemed to be the whole structure. He pulled himself up the last few steps, swallowing hard before opening the control seat's door and clambering inside, not hesitating to get out of that wind.

Cody looked out past the crane's long neck to see the net. It was huge with tight black rope restraining the water pokemon. There were Magikarp, baby Wailmer, and Tentacool, hundreds of these pokemon stuffed into this one net, crammed into this tight spot. He peered down to the control box, noticing a bunch of little buttons and levers with pictures symbolizing what each did. Unable to make sense of any of it, he guessed and pressed a button. The crane made a loud creaking noise, but nothing seemed to happen. Cody placed his hand on one of the levers, closing his eyes tightly before moving it up and to the right. The crane creaked again, starting to slowly swing clockwise and over the water. If only he could find a way to lower the net or release it or anything, but all these buttons just weren't making any sense. He shot a message to his team, asking for assistance.

Guys, none of you would possibly know how to operate a crane, would you? I need to lower this net, but it's not working!

Allen nodded back to Cody, only following orders. One of the sailors made a lunge for the crane, attempting to get passed Allen to get to Cody. Allen grabbed his foot, effectively tripping him. The sailor crashed onto the deck with a loud thud, "Medicham, toss them off the ship!" He tossed a ball and Medicham appeared, floating for a moment before landing on the ground. It swung it's arms in a rhythmic pattern gathering it's energy lifting Allen up into the air, ready to toss him over. But as he was beginning to move, the energy cut off and he crashed into the ship. Shuppet was floating above him in a protective position. She'd apparently shot the Medicham with a Shadow Sneak, as it was pulled back in a somewhat defensive position. Allen rolled between the sailor and the crane.
"You'll have to battle for it." Allen grinned and Shuppet nodded to the sailor, blowing a raspberry at them.

The sailor's eyebrow drew together, "Fine, Medicham, Thunder Punch!" Medicham quickly and easily gather a hunk of Electric energy into it's fist and flew at Shuppet, she tried to dodge, but a spark caught her body and shocked her thoroughly. Luckily the punch didn't cause too much serious damage.
"Shuppet Will-o-Wisp!" She nodded, pulling back and, using the foe's exposed back to her advantage, lobbed a bunch of burning wisps, burning the Medicham.
"Zen Headbutt!" Reeling from Suppet's attack, it took Medicham a moment focus enough to pool energy into it's head, in that time Allen called for a Sucker Punch. Shuppet zoomed inwards, seeming relentless with her assault. She jabbed her little body across Medicham's face, forcing it back further, nearly knocking it off balance. Medicham wobbled itself back into position and thrusted it's head forward, bashing Shuppet. The little ghost bounced off the deck and back into the air, but thanks to keeping on the Medicham and the effects of the burn, the attack didn't do much, but she was still low in health. Allen nodded, "Shadow Sneak!" Shuppet's shadow shot from beneath her, entering Medicham's and causing a decent amount of damage.
"Shadow Ball!" The sailor called to his Pokemon, it sounded like a last ditch effort too.
"Shuppet!!" He called, but it was too late. The glob of energy shot into the little ghost, causing her to faint almost instantly. Allen quickly returned her, "You did so well..." He cleared his throat, "Go Froakie!" He tossed the Pokeball, releasing him onto the battle field.

"Medicham! Thunder Punch again!" Medicham, nodded, but it was severely hurting.
Allen noticed and wanted to make it faint to prevent it from hurting further... "Quick Attack." He called, Froakie's agile little body zoomed around the ship and crashed into Medicham's burn, doing critical damage, and fainting the poor thing.

The sailor, now horrified, returned his Pokemon and let out his next, "Ludicolo!"
"Froakie, Bounce!" Allen called, hopefully the Flying attack would be able to take the Ludicolo out quickly. Ludicolo tried to fire off a Razor Leaf but the leaves caught too much air resistance before reaching Froakie and fell harmlessly to the ground. Froakie came down, actually causing the air to whistle around it and slammed into Ludicolo, causing a massive amount of damage. But Ludicolo still stood
"Ludicolor, Mega Drain!" A green aura surrounded Froakie and energy shot to the opponent, the attack taking all but a sliver of Froakie's HP, returning a lot of its own mouth.
"Round!" Allen called, Froakie croaked extremely loud, his voice echoing out over the water. Ludicolo bounced in place for a moment before calming down again and fired off another Razor Leaf, KOing the little frog.

"Tch... Froakie, return." He readied his next Pokemon after securing the fainted Pokemon to his belt. "Heracross! Let's finish this!" Heracross buzzed his wings a little upon entering the battlefield, "Aerial Ace!" Heracross zoomed passed the foe Ludicolo, slashing across it's side, doing another massive amount of damage. Ludicolo staggered for a moment, turning to its trainer. The sailor ordered for Ludicolo to retreat, knowing it was no use anymore.

Allen sighed in relief as the guy backed off. He pulled out his TADS and quickly read the message, He had no idea how to operate the thing, and sent it to message. He would have gone up and helped if he wasn't keeping guard at the base of the crane.

Allen nodded, returning Heracross and diving over into the waters below. Once he netered the waters and slowed to a stop, he released Shellder's Pokeball, grabbing onto the Pokemon she pulled him to the surface to take off after Cody

The trio took off toward Mossdeep, speeding away as the ship disappeared over the horizon behind them. "When we get there, we're gonna need to Dive. We're gonna be checking out some underwater caves and caverns where it's said that ancient treasure lies!" Cody shouted back to his group before asking if any of them needed any healing items. "I grabbed some of the stock before heading out, so I have extras!"

"Understood."
Memo and Cereza looked at each other as he reached for his Aqua Rebreather.
"I'll take a couple Potions if ya don'd mind hehe."
Just as Memo moved over slightly, he was nearly turned over by Colton and his Wailmer!!
"Ahaha!!"
He laughed and greeted the pair with an excited wave.

Cody took a few potions and revives out of his bag and tossed them underhand to his team members. "There ya go, guys! Heal up!" He felt the sea undulate under him as Ginji appeared.
"Nice to see ya, bud!" the boy called back to the new arrival. As the group approached the outskirts of Mossdeep and the island started to come into view, Cody started to notice darker spots in the water. "This is where we dive, people!" he shouted back to the group. "Then we find treasure!"

Allen nodded to Cody, Letting his Pokemon out onto the waves, he held onto them with one hand with his other over Shellder, but she was able to keep them afloat. He pulled out the one little diamond shaped item out of his bag to add it too the other in has hand. He fed the two little fainted Pokemon, almost instantaneously they sprang to life. Quickly, as the others dove under, Allen pulled two Potions from his bag and helped them to recover more health. They weren't at perfect health, but it would do. Quickly he repacked his stuff, put the rebreather on, and returned Shuppet. "Froakie, you stay out and swim with us, alright?" Froakie nodded, the foamy bubble around it's neck disappearing as they went under the surface.
