The laser returned to the closed palm of Sailor Puck. His fingers rubbed against the side of the Pokéball. He held the top to his head, standing silently and not saying a word. He began to nod as his two sailor bros approached. They had secured their Poké Balls to their belts much earlier, and had been anxiously awaiting the results of their battle. Their faces no longer seemed dejected for losing, but determined with sparks in their eyes. They each embraces each other and exchanged his fives, fist bumps, and chest bumps all around. They made their own scene of excitement, despite their monetary and battle loss. The Sailor in the center, one of ginger hair and fire in his eyes, broke the silence between the two groups first. [color=f7941d]“That was some solid battling, bros. Your Pokémon made sacrifices for each other, that was choice.”[/color] The other two sailors nodded, having acknowledged the other trainers for their skill, not their luck. Even if there was a bit of rule bending here or there. [color=fff200]“Houndour saved Budew, that was mad brave bro.”[/color] [color=brown]“And Poochyena kept Machop busy, not easy to do dude. He lifts more than I do.”[/color] [color=f7941d]“Then, Budew came in to put the team on his back. Smart, real smart bros. You’ll see the Broletariat again soon… and we don’t lose twice!”[/color] The group of fraternity sailors hollered and laughed, continuing to bump into each other and exchange praise for what they had done in the fight. Your concern for healing caught their attention, and each of them looked to each other to find no information. They exchanged confused glances and mumbled words, shrugs, before Puck turned his neck to face all of you once gain. [color=f7941d]“We don- GAH!”[/color] [color=ec008c]“Hello.”[/color] You heard a robotic, drone voice come from behind you. Holly would walk between the three of you with a strange looking device in hand. It looked as some sort of scepter, and at its tops were three prongs that would contain the perfect area of a Poké Ball. The material was translucent, and you could see tubes of red coolant surging through the device. [color=ec008c]“I’ve been notified that your Pokémon require healing.”[/color] Again with that monotonous voice. And how could she possibly know that? Perhaps the ship’s technology was more advanced than it appeared. She would offer her hand to each of you. Given that you accepted and placed your Pokémon in her hand, she would place them into the device. The three prongs of the device would clasp the Poké Ball and rotate erratically, spinning at an unseen RPM. As a centrifuge, it would come to a maximum speed and loud whir before ticking off, requiring a moment to slow momentum. [color=ec008c]“Your Pokémon has been cured of all status effects and is restored to optimal health.”[/color] The sailors, first looking to each other, hesitantly handed over their Poké Balls as well. [color=fff200]“This is kind of freaky, bro…”[/color] Holly never commented to what anyone asked, and she would merely go about the process as if it were a regiment or program. [color=ec008c]“Please forward any concerns to the upper office on the main deck.”[/color] With this, Holly walked between the lot of you once again. She descended the metallic stairs, not making a sound as she moved. She was likely returning to the terminal room to assist with new trainers. [color=f7941d]“O-Okay. It was nice meeting you, bros and broettes! Next time won’t be so easy, let’s train up tomorrow boys.”[/color] The three sailors waved, returning to their respective rooms for some good rest before the evening dinner event that Palm was holding. From the position of the sun in the open archway in front of you, you could tell you had a few hours to go before you the dinner was being held. The captain and Holly had asked you to attend, but never was there a mandate of it being mandatory. The main deck was in front of you, the S.S EXPEDITION traveling triumphantly through the route bustling with Pokémon of all types, shapes, and sizes. [color=6ecff6]ROUTE Z ENCOUNTER(S): 1 EACH TRAINER MAY CHOOSE THEIR OWN ENCOUNTER(S): [1) CATCH POKéMON (KNOWN POKéMON: TAILLOW) [2) TRAIN POKéMON [3) RANDOM EVENT [4) OTHER (PLEASE SPECIFY.
