Colt continued walking down the street, hardly able to see in front of him due to the stack of crates. As he peered around them once again, he noticed an odd light up near the buildings. It was purple. "Well, that's an unusual street lamp," he said aloud as he and Bones got closer. It was only when he was right on top of it that he realized it wasn't a lamp at all...it was a candle. Oh, and it was floating. Weird candle..., he thought to himself as he approached.
There, under the eaves of the building, the little candle was trying to shield itself from the rain. Colt abruptly stopped in front of it, looking at the floating candle with a purple flame. The candle had a face...and it looked sad. This candle just gets weirder and weirder...
"Hey. You. Candle dude," he said, calling out to the candle. "You look pretty lonely over there, and this storm's only gonna get worse before it gets better. I got somewhere dry I'm headed to. You're welcome to tag along if you want. It beats hanging around alone out here in this weather," he said, setting down the boxes for a moment to take a break. When he did so...he heard something rolling around inside one of the crates.
Colt opened the crate to see what it was...and pulled out a pokeball. An occupied pokeball. "Guess that old man gave us a pokemon along with all this stuff," he said with a shrug, putting the ball on his belt. There would be time enough to figure out what was in it later.
He sat down on a box, reloading his pistols. "So, what's it gonna be Candle Dude? You in, or are you just gonna hang around here?," he asked.

Sneaking on an abandoned boat! Sneaking on an abandoned boat! Pumbloom hummed to himself as he climbed over the railing to the deck. The sneaking was a bit half-hearted. Of all the chaos going on at the docks, this was the only galley with absolutely no whispers of commotion. No guards, no staff, no nothing. Which meant the captain's quarters were free for the looting! Just a small creak in and...
...the captain is sleping inside the boat.
......the captain that Pumbloom recognised as THE Steel-Jaw Morgan.
.........the notoriously-ruthless Steel-Jaw Morgan and whom he had likely already stolen supplies from on the pier.
And a half-awake sentry.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
The DJ screamed internally at this revelation, instinctively turning backwards towards the way he came. Eyes dropped on a bag as he turned, however, and a capture ball on top. Pressing for luck, Pumbloom swiftly grabbed both and clicked the ball in hopes that this might save him from almost certain death. Which it did! His sudden fears faded away as the guard dissipated inside the orb. WHEW! That was close!
But maybe it would be wise to get the hell off of this not-so-abandoned boat before the captain awoke. The DJ discretely closed the door with a gentle nudge before practically jumping off the boat's side to the dock below. To the bag went the gourd mawile's ball without a single peek into the sack's contents. Steel-Jaw was likely to be mad upon waking up, and Pumbloom was intent on shipping off of this island before a search for the lost plunder could be made. To the meeting point he went with the cart of supplies in tow, only slightly late to the party.

The little Candle Dude seemed hesitant...but ultimately decided to to come with Colt and Bones, floating out from under the eaves.
"Alright then. Here, should be plenty dry in here," he said, tossing a pokeball at the Litwick. It was quickly sucked into the pokeball, which chimed successfully with little resistance. Colt slotted the ball on his belt.
Then, finally finished reloading his sixth pistol, he holstered the weapon and got up. "Well, time to get moving," he said, picking up the crates again. "Oof...c'mon Bones, let's go..."
Within a few moments, Colt and Bones were back at the meeting place, stacks of crates and barrels in hand. At least, he thought this was the place...

Proxy's frantic search around the city turned out to be quite a fruitful one! Within a few minutes of beginning the search she and Shadow happened across an oddly coloured Beedrill that looked quite tough, and with some effort Proxy managed to win him over to her cause. It was also at this moment that Proxy realised a rather fatal error in her planning: she doesn't have any Poké Balls! In her defense, though, she is a Pokémon herself, so she didn't feel a need to stock up on anything, let alone additional Poké Balls. This is going to be troublesome, but I don't have time to get any Poké Balls. Proxy lightly bit on her thumb again at this predicament, but she didn't have time to spare and had to keep moving in order to not keep the others waiting. I'll get a Poké Ball for him later, but for now, he'll just have to follow us. I just hope we don't run into any more problems.
Oh how wrong she was. Just a few minutes later Proxy's little group happened upon a little gathering of Pokémon taking shelter together. And what a strange gathering it was: a Ledyba, a Spinarak, a Pidgey, a Shinx, a Plusle, and a Butterfree. While finding this many Pokémon together would normally be a sign of good fortune, half of the gathering were shooting some glares at the Beedrill. The Ledyba in particular had a scar over its left eye, and he and the Beedrill were both exchanging dangerous glares. Do these two know each other? This thought became apparent when they started shouting at each other, but Proxy could only make out a few words from either of them. Hmm, I'll need to work on my translation skills later. Before the two Bug Pokémon started exchanging blows Proxy decided at that moment to step in and say what she had to say.
"Hi there! I know this is rather sudden, but I'm trying to put together a crew to sail off this island in search of adventure, and I was wondering if you would like to accompany me? I understand if you would rather stay here, but wouldn't you like to go out there and see what the rest of the world looks like?" Proxy said all of this in the human language since most Pokémon could understand the human tongue (for some reason), and it would be too time-consuming to say all of that in each species' native tongues. Apparently Proxy must've hit the right buttons, since she managed to convince all six of them into following her, with only some reluctance from the Ledyba. I hope that doesn't become a big problem in the future, Proxy silently wished as she nervously watched the Beedrill and Ledyba continue to glare at each other.
Proxy managed to gather up a rather impressive number of Pokémon for her crew, but now came the tricky part: she had to get them all on the ship. While a simple task in theory, Proxy did not have any spare Poké Balls to capture any of her additions, so she would have to lead them all to the docks where the ship was waiting, and make sure none of them got captured while en route. This is very troublesome, she thought as she started leading the group to the docks, silently praying that she'll make it to the meeting place without a hitch.

Murray huffs and puffs into view about the same time that Colt is making his way back to the meeting spot, hauling a large wagon with visible assistance from a magnemite that appears to be using his magnetic pull to keep the heavily-laden conveyance moving. Murray himself looks tired, but fiercely pleased with himself; and nods in greeting when he sees the bounty hunter, before spotting a shaken-looking Pumbloom moving in their direction laden down with his own finds.

Randy meanwhile through mystical means via way of 'He knows his stuff'. He proceeded to get five days worth of supplies, happily organizing that. After that he takes a detour to pick up some pokeballs, paying $2500 to buy himself 10 Basic Balls. Afterwards he goes hunting around for some pokemon. Upon finding two female pokemon arguing over a male he looked around, making sure no one was there he transformed into the ripplingly muscular man of action, that dastardly hero who swipes victory from villains, the all around good-guy and friend to all children, the man you cannot see but will always see. FLETCH MAN! "ALRIGHT YOU LOVE FIELDS, LISTEN UP! THIS ARGUING OVER A MATE IS POINTLESS! IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE YOUR SPECIES AND WIN THE CHANCE AT PROVING YOUR STRENGTH TO HIM THEN JOIN ME! WHEN YOU PROVE THAT YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH AND THE TIME IS RIGHT HE SHALL CHOOSE ONE OF YOU AS HIS MATE AND LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I, THE INDOMITABLE, THE UNDEFEATED, THE BADASS, THE MANLIEST LUCHADOR PIRATE TO EVER SAIL THE SEAS, FLETCH MAN! WILL STILL BE BY YOUR SIDE AS YOUR COMFORTING FRIEND! SO MY DEAR NOW PALS.. WILL YOU JOIN ME IN MAKING THE OCEAN A PLACE WHERE ONE CAN FIND TRUE LOVE THROUGH THEIR OWN STRENGTH?!"

The nidoran male seems impressed and while it takes a second the females follow him and his wurmple pal, (both of whom walk over to fletchman randdy and stand on their hind legs as if agreeing with his sentiment), soon the females follow suit. The pikachu glaring at female nidoran for a second before beaming a fangirl look at Randy.

Randy nodded and put them in pokeballs for now to keep them safe while he was getting things ready before reverting back. "Hrm........ I'll think of names for all of you as I get everything ready, but this'll keep you guys safe for now."

The Petilil looked confused at the offer of fruit, but nonetheless sensed that this strange, large-chested woman was safe. And, more importantly, dry. She feebly hobbled under the boob shelf, where she was scooped into Gina's arms and lifted. Gina tossed the dried fruits into her cleavage for safekeeping, gently pet the beaten little pokemon, and gingerly started back down the path towards the docks.
...However, there was one last stop. Gina took a moment to put the Petilil in a pokeball before reaching into her hat, pulling out the bag of food she was given by Mrs. Dryer. She felt guilty about lying...So, she'd just fix it! At the inn, she slipped in through the back door, put down some of the heftier things in a safe spot, and slipped back out. Danny saw her, but just smiled and started moving the food to proper storage for her. A whispered thanks, a hushed good luck, and she was back on the path once more.
It didn't take long for Gina to make it to the docks, though she had never seen it quite this busy or panicked before...Must be because of the pirate shenanigans going on nearby. Same reason they were in a rush, after all. It took some time, but Gina managed to recognize Murray, Colt, and the DJ in the crowd; at least they were noticeable. She nodded, then looked around for the others, hoping they were all right...And making a note to ask them for their names once they got going. She didn't quite remember, to be honest.

"Oi! Permission to board." Marak calls out to the other big man on the ship as he starts to load the metals onto the boat. The storm didn't seem to be letting up anytime soon and the less water on the metal, the less rust to contend with in the future.

If she hadn't figured out that this ship was the one she wanted from the description given alone, the presence of the two large men who had joined up as well were clue enough that she was in the right place. Tethys grinned and jogged the rest of the way over to the two, giving no mind to the wriggling weight of the full net of fish she had caught.
"I hope you like fish, big guy!" Tethys laughed as she made her way up onto the deck, smacking Marak playfully with the back of her free hand.
Swimming was all good and well, but it could get tiresome after a while, just like walking everywhere. Tethys stood on the deck for a moment, still grinning and carrying that big net of fish, feeling the sway of the boat under her feet as it was rocked by wind and wave.

Buuta leaned over the side as Marak hailed him. "Hah? Who are-" Halfway through his sentence, Buuta recognized the man on the dock - Marak was a hard one to forget, especially in a calm place like Pallet Island, with its dearth of the stranger races. "Oh sure, come on up! Find a place to put all of your junk while I take this trolley back to the lumberyard."
Before he left, however, Tethys arrived and hauled a bulging net of fish onboard. "Wow, you got all of those without so much as a fishing boat? How'd you manage that?"

After searching for a short while, Lonnie spots Colt, Gina, the DJ and the Man with All the Pouches (he'd have to learn their names later). He instinctively tries to wave before remembering the crates in his hands. Instead, he runs over to them. "H-Hi, guys." He says, panting slightly from the exertion. He puts the crates down and leans on them for a moment to get his breath back.
"So, where's the ship we're gonna get?" He asks, looking around at the many ships docked, trying to find the one that looks most pirate-y.

Ferren crossed the docks mostly without event, eventually spotting where the rest of the group that had gathered. As he approached, he noticed Lonnie had already arrived, and not wanting to smoke around the kid, he snuffed out his cigarette. Noticing all the crates and wagons around, he whistles "Wow, seems you all found quite a bit of supplies"
He pats his belt with the four newly caught Pokemon on it "I found us a few extra hands, should make the sailing a bit easier. We can sort out who they go to once we've got the ship"

Tethys looked up and over toward the... Other big guy. What was his name? It started with a B... Brutus? Butane? Bagpipe? One of those had to be right, surely. "Oh else? I hopped on in the water and caught them!" Whatever his name was, he couldn't be very smart if he couldn't understand how she could catch fish. "The stormy weather makes it easier to catch a whole lot, of course. Oh, but where should I put them?"

Marak replys "We can work on gutting and salting them to preserve them for the long trip to virdian. And the leftover fishguts can be used to feed the carnivorous mons among us. " as he helps getting the large net of fish aboard the ship with tethys.

Colt kept on walking obliviously, walking past everyone before stopping abruptly, realizing he had just passed up where he was supposed to go. He turned around, walking back into the midst of the group and setting the crates and barrels down with a loud clatter. Bones did likewise, climbing atop a crate and taking a seat.
"Looks like just about everyone made it back, and more or less successful," he said happily...well, happily enough. The kid had a few crates of something, that junkyard dog had a wagon of stuff...but that other guy...
"Hey, and look at that, a pair of free hands," he said, walking over to Ferren and clapping a hand on his shoulder. Despite the rain, Colt had the faint aroma of gunpowder about him. "You can help me lug around some of these crates and barrels, once we figure out where we're going that is," he said with a sarcastic grin.

Ferren forced a smile at the man, his body temperature rising to the point of steam rising off of him again "Of course I'd be willing to help, I know that it must be hard to carry all of this when you're covered in your little pea shooters, I'm sure they must get in the way" he chuckled a little at his own joke before looking around at everyone who had gathered
"Who all is missing anyways? The sooner we get out of here, the further we can get from this mess before they realize we've gone."

"Pea shooters? If you've got a problem with my pistols then go ahead and spit it out, ya overgrown drumstick," Colt said, eye twitching with irritation.

Jin looks over the crew he's managed to procure, nodding to himself. It seemed good, and everyone had brought supplies... Well, mostly everyone. They had taken a bit of time to gather though, and he was afraid they couldn't afford to use any more at this point. He looked to Murray, nodding. "This looks to be everyone... Let's hurry and acquire that ship so we can set sail. I'm a bit worried that some people may have seen me at the docks, and that means time is of the essence. I'll take... Let's see... Four. Four of us will go claim the ship, the other three will guard the supplies. Child, Miss, if you don't mind, I'd like you to stay here. You as well, Mr. Guns. If we do it that way, the people guarding the supplies will be more than capable of fending off attackers, and the focus will be drawn away from the boat. Everyone else, with me." He motioned for Murray to lead on, ready to fight for the ship.
