Three Hours Earlier
Katy stood on the Vermillian city docks, just one face amongst a crowd of the dozens of people who would be boarding the luxury cruiser that floated on the water in front of them, the Captain and Crew making the final preparations for the passengers' boarding. Most other people around her had somebody with them to talk to, and were chatting away happily, creating a hum of noise in her ears. The salty sea air disturbed her brown coat, and she pulled it tighter around her slim form, shivering slightly.
A few minutes later, the call came for people to start boarding, and the crowd moved towards the ship in a rush, Katy was carried along by the flow, bumped and jostled by hyper teens and self important rich people, until she reached the boarding steps, handing her ticket to the crewman and getting her pass. She walked up the steps, gazing around at the sights she could see on the deck in a level of awe.
When she stepped onto the upper deck, she blinked in amazement, in front of her was the massive battle arena on the ship, filled with terrains of all descriptions and platforms for trainers to stand on "Whoa." she breathed, hoping she would get a chance to battle there soon. But there was no time for that now, of course, she had to go to her cabin and get set up. Hefting her suitcase, she walked down a nearby flight of stairs and into the body of the ship, the decorative corridors lit by bright lights on the ceiling.
When she arrived in her cabin, she smiled, it was as she had expected and hoped for, simple but comfortable. She would have felt out of place in one of the grander rooms, so this was just right. She placed her suitcase down on the bed, now wasn't the time for unpacking, that could come later, then checked the pokeballs on her belt, and left the cabin, heading up to the dining hall that was the main room of the ship.
Walking in through the double doors, she stopped, her jaw dropping in amazement. The room was magnificent, the carpet was a royal red, with golden embroidery covering its soft fabric, there were flowers in the center of every one of the white clothed circular tables laid with silver cutlery, and service staff stood every few feet with trays of wine and drinks for the passengers who, like Katy, had flocked to the room to mingle before the voyage. Katy walked inside, and was quickly caught up in the flow of things, swept into conversation with a rather handsome boy from Johto that eventually led to a battle.
"Go Swampert!" Katy called, bringing her loyal friend out to counter the boy's Houndoom, and the battle was underway...
After a convenient time skip, Katy withdrew her Dragonair as the kid's Belossom fainted, smiling to him and offering him her hand. The boy scowled at her and turned away, storming off into the crowd who had been watching the fight without another word. Urgh, Katy hated bad sports. As one of the members of the crowd approached her to congratulate her, Katy smiled, allowing herself to be drawn back into the communal mingle.
Now
"Stop what you're doing immediately and surrender your ship!"
Katy looked up from where she was sitting at one of the dining tables in time to see a Veanusaur released onto the bar, its flower glowing ominously. "A solarbeam." she breathed, that would cause terrible damage to the ship! She had to stop it!
Jumping up from her seat and dodging her way past the fleeing passengers, Katy tossed a pokeball towards the plant pokemon "Go! Gardevoir! Use confuse ray!" she yelled as the graceful pokemon appeared from the white light that emerged from the ball. With a cry, its eyes glowed bright purple, and a flash of energy shot towards the Venusaur's head, striking it with a flash and confusing it completely, hopefully that would cause it to fail in its attack.
