Silvermist: <... DS, maybe you should change clothes when you get there, as the purple shirt and the dark blue jeans you are wearing might be a little too warm?>
... I guess.
Ribbons: <Ooh! What will you wear? The pink t-shirt and the light blue knee-length jeans? The light purple t-shirt and those black knee-length shorts? That cute pink sundress with the white tights underneath?>
Silvermist: <Oh! And maybe you should put on one of your bikinis underneath, too.>
- Sweatdrops -
Um... Let's wait until we arrive at wherever we're going before we discuss my outfit, huh?
Tulip: (looks over at Anom curiously) <... What's a Tentacool, yes?>
It's a Pokemon that lives in the ocean. It's blue, rather heavy for its size, and has two tentacles it can sting you with.
-I look around cautiously, knowing how unsafe what I'm about to do is, and lean downward far over the rail-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Sunny: <What's your team like, anyway? I don't think I've really met any of them.>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.-The boat shakes, and I nearly lose my grip-
Aah!
-I quickly pull myself up-
Huh. I had this foreboding feeling I was going to fall in the water... Hmm.
-A gray tentacle reaches out of the ocean, wraps around my neck, and pulls me off and underwater almost silently-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Guardé: <OH! A foul beast just snatched that man with the beard right of this boat!> -To Chord.- <Quick, you have to release me at once! There is a monster to slay!>
Chord: -Doesn't even look at Guardé.- <Yeah, sure there is...>
Tulip: <EEK!> (trips, before managing to quickly move over and hide behind my leg)
...? Tulip, what's wro-
- Looks around -
... Where did Anom go?
Tulip: <T-there was thing, yes! And... and...>
Whoa! Calm down, Tulip!
-Notices the spot where Anom once was is now a patch of air-
Huh, I wonder where Anom went. I hope he didn't fall in.
-Goes to look over the side of the boat-
Hey, Anom! You down there?
-Underwater-
Tentacruel: <Arr... a fine catch... wait, this is a human! Arr...>
-I try to say something, and am reminded I'm both underwater and being strangleholded-
-I try to worm my way out of his grip-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!-See me strollin' around port with Ichtacya happily following, and Dintel carrying a bow with some salad behind-
Ichtacya — <This place is so lovely! And there are many mons...>
Dintel — <Oh, well I don't like it...> — noms — <There's too much water! And I already took my weekly bath!>
— You are going to be OK, Dintel. We are just going for a stroll...
Dintel (growls) — <I'm only walking because there's this food.> — noms.
-shrugs-
— Have it your way. You could bask somewhere around here...
Dintel — <No, I'm going to the cinema later and then I'll spend the rest of the time in my Ball> — noms and kicks a random trashcan — <until we get somewhere sandy.>
— Not a bad idea if that ma- hey, wait what? — turns around and frowns — They have a cinema here?
-Dintel nods and keeps eating, snarling at pretty much every Pokémon that he meets on the way so they leave him alone-
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?- Manages to barely make out what Tulip is trying to say -
What!? You saw a wild Pokémon pull Anom into the water!?
Tulip: <Y-yes...>
- I run over to the rail, trying to see if I can see him, Tulip, Ribbons and Silvermist following me, although Tulip still hides behind my legs -
-I manage to slip out of his grasp-
-He simply grabs me with another one-
-I manage to break the surface however, taking a deep breath before being pulled under again-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!-walks out onto the sunny section of the boat, tossing a Pokeball up and down for no discernable reason-
Ahhh....nice and warm.
...Huh. This is the first time since I left for Sinnoh that it's been both warm and not a hellhole. I should celebrate or something.
-wanders around, Breeze occasionally commenting on something or other from his perch on Every's head-
Chat down for anyone else?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything....! Anom!
Ribbons: <Oh my...>
Oh, my... We're not even at the Orange Islands yet, and something bad has already happened to him!
Tulip: (tilts head) <"Already"? Do things like that happen to him a lot, yes?>
Silvermist: <I can save him! Just toss me into the water!>
- Ribbons throws Silvermist into the water -
-Is struggling with it again-
Tentacruel: <Arr, no idea what to do with ye. I guess I could let you go... hmmm... I need to think about this. Why're ye holding yer breath? The water here is clean.>
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Silvermist: (swims towards the Tentacruel) <Umm... Excuse me?>
Stratus: -Has notice the commotion.- <Should we do something?>
Lake: <No reason why we shouldn't.> -Climbs onto the railing.- <Quick! Let's go!> -Jumps off into the water.-
Stratus: <Coming!> -Follows.-
Tentacruel: <Yarr! Who boards my... uh... section of the ocean!?>
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Luna, go help!
Luna:<Okay!>
-Luna jumps off and swims toward Anom-
Silvermist: <Um... Hi, I'm Silvermist. Nice to meet you.>
Lake: -Can't speak underwater.-
Stratus: <Um...Ahoy, matey! Um...That's our landlubber ya' got there, so...give 'im back, or we'll make ya' swab da' poop-deck! Arr! Was that any good?>
Lake: -Shrugs.-
Tentacruel: <Oh... he's yer landlubber? Well, fine. But first he needs to stop insulting me water and take a nice breath of it! Is that so hard to do?>
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Silvermist: <Erm... Humans do not have gills, sir. I know, silly isn't it? But I guess that is just how Arceus chose to design them.>
Kensei: <They are nice, I suppose. Would you like me to introduce you to them?>
Kensei: -sidehugs Sunny- <I would like that.>
