Daniel had been thoroughly enjoying his cruise so far, the opening holographic show was impressively realistic and he has no idea how they managed to get a recording of Lugia's song. The first round had certainly delivered a spectacular showing made all the better by the fact he found himself drawn into a lively discussion with those seated around him between performances, turns out the man on his right was a retired coordinator who had some great insight. Plus some crazy guy blew field up, which is always fun when you're not on the recieving end.  

He'd only booked a small table for one near one of the walls, none of his team really appreciated fancy seafood, it wasn't really something he'd eaten much himself actually, but he was trying EVERYTHING on this trip. He'd just finished a very tasty grilled fish dish with a name he didn't recognise when the chaos began.  

He felt the ship move, his chair tumbling to the side, though couldn't actually see the pillar falling. He slipped his jacket on (if the ship's in trouble he might not be able to return for it after all, and it's got his ID in the pocket) and stood up, releasing Alakazam with a red flash in one smooth practiced movement.   
He gets around the nearest pillar just in time to see a man in a very nice coat tacking that Machamp waiter away from a falling pillar, which is enough to make up his mind. He feels his oldest friend's telepathic touch checking on him and speaks "I'm fine, outdoor viewing deck, lets see what's causing this." and the two vanish in the light of a teleport, appearing within sight of Ace.
