12 Days are Over:
All new trainers or probably future ace trainers who will be member of future elite four or be champion of different regions were sitting in the Lobby, by now they all were good friends (Not that close but as they all were under 15 so they bonded quite quickly.). As usual Alex was center of attraction but others liked Jason for his friendly behavior towards everyone and also for his three shiny pokemons (They met Metang as well and Steven was jealous because now he cannot showoff with his Shiny Metang).
Jason was not interested in showing his power now as he was waiting for the correct time and also he wanted to see how they will battle with those threats about whom Leon told Jason, though none of the trainers in crew were aware about it because Jason thought that telling about upcoming threat may create fear in them and some may try to return back.
Though Jason wanted to travel deeper part of Fire Paradise and also with help of Leon he got access for that as guards there were already informed about his arrival (This is benefit of having good relation with Champion of same region). Jason didn't tell anyone about that rare pokemon as well, because he himself wasn't sure about existence of that pokemon even Leon was not so sure because he just heard about that pokemon and even in his travel to fire paradise he couldn't even found a glimpse of that pokemon so he thought it may be a story created by people but Jason wanted to check it and find the real truth.
As a daily routine everyone were either playing or chatting in the lobby but none were aware that today was going to be different for the, suddenly everyone stopped after hearing an announcement from Captain of the cruise. Announcement was, 'Passengers please listen carefully, we are surrounded by a group of Sharpedo and we will need help of trainers in clearing our way, no need to panic as things are still under control but we need some assistance.'
'What the hell he mean by no need to panic after giving this announcement.' Thought Jason.
"Group of Sharpedo ? Aren't Sharpedo known for travelling alone and not in pack." Said Phoebe.
"Yes exactly and being a water pokemon lover I have read about them, its really rare occurrence, it happen only when they are troubled by anyone." Said Wallace.
"I think we should stop discussing about our theories and meet Captain, he need help from trainers and we are trainers as well." Said Steven and everyone nodded.
Jason just looked at them going and then thought to follow as well, when they reached near captains cabin, Wallace entered cabin and came out with Captain.
"What is the exact situation captain." Asked Alex.
"We are surrounded by around 70 Sharpedo, some other water types are there as well but in less number, we need to defeat them as soon as possible or they can destroy ship." Said Captain.
"I think we already faced such circumstances, is this somehow related to our earlier encounter." Said Elsa and looked at Alex who looked at Jason.
"Don't look at me like that, I destroyed there base in Lilycove, they may be on Fire Paradise as well if this is similar." Said Jason.
"No but in our previous encounter we faced many water types but in this encounter we are facing only one species of Sharpedo, I don't know if I am correct but I think this is not the same scenario." Said Cynthia.
"Yes you are right, ok Captain can you brief us some more, we may help you with this situation." Said Alex.
Captain briefed them about everything, the info group got was that, Sharpedo were mainly attacking from North and West only but as the route to Fire paradise was towards North west so this was getting problematic, Also pokemon were coming from western side, but there was chances of some pokemons coming from back side as well but captain was not sure even after using radar. After briefing he returned back to cabin just to check that radar again.
"I think we should divide and make a team, Alex, Elsa, Steven, Wallace, Lance, Clair and Lorelei you go and take care of Western side, Cynthia, Flint, Skyla, Caitlin and Volkner you stay on Eastern Side, Diantha, Malva, Siebold, Sabrina, Erika and Aaron you take care of Southern side for sneak attacks, Lucian, Julius and Phoebe you three follow me to northern side." Said Jason.
"But on northern side only you four, that can be risky." Said Cynthia.
"Leave it to Jason, I know my best friend, he can take care alone also. You guys just take care of sides given to you." Said Phoebe.
Everyone started talking over reckless decision of Jason but Alex came forward and put a hand on Jason's shoulder and said, "I believe in you, just return safe."
Jason nodded and left with the team as soon as he left captain came out from his cabin and asked about those four and when Alex told about plan that Captain shouted, "Whaattt ?"
"What happened captain ?" Asked Cynthia.
"Leader of that pack is on that side only, those four may not be able to stop them." Said Captain.
"We should change plan immediately." Said Cynthia with a concern tone.
"We cannot, we have to hurry and remember what info we got from Captain earlier, pokemons are coming from western side mainly, I will do my best to stop pokemons from going to that side and you all do the same, rest Jason can handle." Said Alex.
"Don't worry Cynthia Jason is powerful trainer he can handle it, we just need to follow his plan or else he may get in trouble as well." Said Steven.
"But..." Said Cynthia but before she can finish her sentence Alex interrupted, "No But Cynthia, now lets hurry, they may reach North side soon and we have to take our position as well, also I will send all other trainer to that side if we get any additional recruits."
Chapter Ends
