Lance who was partway asleep on the ride simply went "Yeah sure." to Damien who wanted to apologize. He guessed it was a good start, but honestly it should've been more oriented on the girl. After all it was she who he had started this dumb spat with. But whatever, better that then him being a jerk over nothing.

The boat ride was pretty smooth as Dr.Aquarius piloted the boat well enough. Things were fine until his radar started acting nuts and the boat was slowing to a crawl. He tried to put the engine in reverse to avail. Something was immobilizing the boat. He stepped out to see what was going on and it made itself immediately obvious. A whole swarm of tentacools and frillish immediately surged up from the water and bobbed silently in the surf with smug faces.

Then in front of their ship a large object breaking the water approached. It was a wailord with a crudeky painted flag attached to it with some harness. On it's back were a surprising amount of kids. They were dressed like pirates and were all armed with plastic neon swords and remoraids in their hands.  Suddenly they all set free a handful of octillery from their pokeballs sitting side by side on the wailord.  "Ready. Aim. FIRE!" A voice chirped out. A volley of ink came raining down on portside. 

Dr. Aquarius let out an amused smile as he ducked down to avoid getting coated in ink. In the time everyone finished trying to avoid getting splattered with ink, the wailord had made its approached and spat out a plank connecting it to the boat. There were kids rushing to the boat. One kid with a fancy hat and eyepatch began speaking to them as he flourished his sword, "Yard, you wretched landlubbers made a big mistake crossing paths me, [I]The Dread Pirate, Cap'n Blood[/I] and the notorious Cinnibar Raiders. We're coming to take your ship and any booty. Don't try to fight back, you'll only get cut or blasted!"

"First mate Reuben! take the men and make sure our prisoners don't do anything funny." 

"Aye aye sir." Another kid said.

"Heeeeeey I wanted to be captain!" Another voice rang out. "You promised we'd trade places."

"BUT I WANTED TO BE CAPTAIN EARLIER. I got a Chatot which makes me more captainer" Yet another voice whined out.

Disorder broke out as they started arguing about roles as the current captain tried and reign them in telling them they had prisoners to take back and make their slaves.  Eventually the council of pirates convened that the kid with the chatot should be captain because he captains always have a pet and the other kid didn't. They quickly swapped out hats and the new kid stepped in as he taunted the deposed captain. "Don't worry Cah-meel," he said mockinly, "You can be our swabbie." 

"Hey Camille is a manly name! It comes from a great great pokeknight!"  He said greatly annoyed.

The new captain ignored Camille and said to his hostages, "Already, I'm the new captain here! Do anything funny and you'll get it!" He made an exaggerated throat slitting motion to both the hostages and the pirate crew.

The chatot helpfully elaborated by shouting, "CHOP THEIR BODIES INTO SHARPEDO FOOD!"  As it began making all sorts of noise and started rocking its head spastically.
