//------------------------------// // The Planet in the Sea // Story: My Little Pokémon // by Amarvax //------------------------------// The Royal Unova. On the Arcane Sea. 5:00 AM. The ship was still sailing in the Arcane Sea on these unpredictable waters. Everyone had recovered from the Pure Liquid Milotic attack from earlier. Now it was just smooth sailing from here on. Although, everyone, but Drake, was unaware of where they were heading now. These seas were unpredictable. Anything could happen at any moment without warning. And the Arcane Sea seemed to be endless since it represented space. But, Drake obviously wasn't going to stay here forever. He just wanted everyone to take in the sight of the Arcane Sea and beyond. But all is not truly well within the ship. A Team Plasma grunt, who had snuck on board, was currently incognito as he had heard and witnessed everything that happened so far while reporting it all to Colress via a hidden camera in the trenchcoat and a microphone. And Colress had gotten a lot of valuable information that he could use. Pokemon Magic and Equestrian Magic merging as one had greatly piqued his interest. And it will certainly grab the attention of Ghetsis as well. The Team Plasma Grunt now had a new objective. Retrieve one of the Special Pokemon affected by the Arcane Seas and return it to Colress for further investigation and research. But he wasn't the only one aiming to get a Special Pokemon. Team Rocket were in the midst of building a small ship, just to catch a Special Pokemon for either themselves or their boss Giovanni. How they were going to get it to sail in a space like this was yet to be seen. But right now, while all of that goes on, Ash and Twilight along with the rest of their friends who ended up sticking around in the premium cabin during the Milotic attack, were now all enjoying themselves. Pinkie still had her Sonic Voice so she had to be as quiet as possible and could only whisper. Although, the effects of the Equestrian and Pokemon magic seem to be temporary as Gengar and Milotic had reverted to their original forms. But Braviary was still this dragon-like creature while Pinkie's Sonic Voice was still present. "Hm." Twilight was examining Pinkie Pie and Gengar at the same time. "So it hasn't yet left, has it?" "Nope." Pinkie Pie whispered as she shook her head. "But for Gengar, it's completely gone." "Gengar." "I've got it!" Twilight figured it out instantly. "Perhaps it only leaves the body when all of the magic is spent." "Bummer...I wish it was permanent!" Rainbow Dash groaned. "Then I could have an awesome Dragon Braviary by my side! Oh well. Better enjoy it while it lasts." "Braviary!" "How long are we gonna be here in this Arcane Ocean place?" Sweetie Belle sat on the soft couch. "Ooh, so soft..." "Can't be too long. Unless Drake wants to continue sailing here until he heads to Rainbow Valley for that Special Haxorus." Rarity replied. "I hope he does!" Fluttershy squeed. "I want to see more Special Pokemon! Oh! I wonder if there's a Special Eevee! Or even a Special Audino!" "Where are we even headed?" Scootaloo looked outside the window. "This whole place looks like space right? So there's nowhere else to go, is there?" "Maybe he's just going with the flow?" Apple Bloom asked. "No need to worry. I'm sure Drake knows exactly where to go and what he's doing." Applejack nodded in absolute confidence as Ash had fallen asleep on the bed with Pikachu once more. The Bridge. 5:10. Drake did in fact, know what he was doing. He was more than capable of guide this ship after all. And his main destination is still Rainbow Valley and that Special Haxorus. The Arcane Sea seemed vast and endless because of its appearance being similar to space, but it was unknown if it was as vast as space itself. So far, it was wide but too early to tell. However, Drake's draconic senses were picking up on something. "Hm!" Drake's eyes opened up. "What is it now, captain?! Is it the Milotic again or another Pokemon?!" The helmsman asked. "Another Pokemon. And the one I'm aiming for..." "You mean the Special Haxorus." "Precisely. It seems that it's closer than I thought. I can sense its movements from afar." "Really? So we'll be seeing it soon?!" "Precisely. But...it's moving rapidly. Most likely in some sort of hurry. So there's one thing left to do. We're going to chase it down." "Chase it down? So does that mean heading back to the normal waters?" "Not exactly. We might be able to get to Rainbow Valley quicker with these seas. I didn't become a captain for no reason. There isn't a sea out there that I won't master." "But these are new waters captain! How can we be so sure about where to go in such a vast space?" "Trust me, boy. A captain's intuition is never wrong." Drake tapped his head. "Now, all of you! Head on to North East! If we come across anything troublesome, I'll deal with it. And to an extent, Ash." "Aye Captain!" Putting all their fate into the captain, they would advance further, just to reach that Special Haxorus, located in Rainbow Valley as Drake's senses were also a great guide and compass. The Royal Unova was now heading North East. The Drink Deck for the younger passengers. 5:20 AM. Meanwhile, with Team Rocket, their shipbuilding activity wasn't exactly panning out at the moment. Usually, they're experts at creating since they've created many mechanisms that are perfect for almost any situation except for when Ash and his Pokemon destroy it in the long run. But they've run into a few problems. The main one was the most obvious. Getting the ship to sail in an area such as the Arcane Sea which was just space but with water all over the place. It wouldn't be so difficult if most of the water weren't streams that were away from the Royal Unova, leaving large gaps that look like they lead into an endless abyss. Some of the streams of water were even above the Royal Unova, raining down on the ship. The closest body of water was the one the Royal Unova was sailing on which was a continuous path to water that went in multiple directions. But they'd need their ship to be so thin that the Royal Unova doesn't knock into it when moving. It didn't help that the path the Royal Unova was sailing on was also fairly thin. Naturally, that was a major problem. If they were to use their ship with how things were at the moment, they would risk falling into the seemingly endless abyss of the Arcane Ocean. And that was something Team Rocket weren't looking forward to. "Add jet boosters onto it! That way, we'll fly in this ocean!" Jessie suggested. "We ain't got the parts for that, Jess!" Meowth shook his head. "Best we can do is a land boat." "Perhaps we can get the boat on top of the ship!" James exclaimed. "A good view and we might even snag some of the Pokemon above on those upper streams!" "Oh! Nice thinking there, James!" Jessie nodded. "We just have to make sure no one's too suspicious. Especially the twerps and twerpettes." "Relax!" James crossed his arms as his glasses shined. "I've got a perfect way around that! Before you know it, we'll be sailing without a single eye on us while we pocket ourselves some monsters!" "Pocket what monsters, mister?" A voice replied to James which startled Team Rocket overall, causing them to screech, jump and turn around to see who said that. It was Apple Bloom, alongside Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "Ooh! You guys making a boat?!" Scootaloo gawked. "Sweet!" "Twerpettes?!" Team Rocket said in unison as they were hoping no one would spot them. But of all the passengers to find them, it had to be possibly the three nosiest ponies out there. "Are you gonna sail somewhere in this ocean?" Sweetie Belle asked. "W-Well, yes, of course!" James stuttered while rubbing the back of his head. "Just a small little sail in our dinghy, that's all." "You're going out in the Arcane Sea with this little thing?" Scootaloo went up to their boat which was made out of wood so far as she placed her hoof on it. "Looks like it could fall apart at any minute." "The water's too thin too." Apple Bloom looked up at James. "Is it safe?" "Of course not." James shook his head. "We're not crazy after all." "Anyway. It's not your business to get involved." Jessie said. "Get lost, kids." "Aww! But we wanna help!" Sweetie Belle pouted. "Help?" Jessie raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah! Building a ship sounds really fun!" Scootaloo shook her head aggressively. "Hah! Yeah right! Like you three could-" Jessie was about to mock the CMC until James slid in, putting his hand over her mouth and interrupting. "Mm?!" "Hold on! Could you three give us a moment?" James asked. "Sure!" The trio each said. James gathered Meowth, Jessie and Wobbuffet for a group huddle as he had something important to say that could benefit them. "Jess. I don't think you understand how lucky this is!" "Lucky? They're children! They don't have an absolute clue on how to build a ship. The best they can do is a toy constructible ship." "I would think so too. But these three are smarter than they look?" "He's right, ya know." Meowth nodded. "James and I have seen what those three can do?" "You have?" Jessie was now curious. "Whenever we're walking around the Everfree Forest, we see what kind of mishaps those three get themselves into. They can build some impressive stuff for their age." James answered. "Even if they end up breaking and failing after a few minutes or hours." "We could use a bit of their hoofwork. But most of the building's gonna be us since we don't want a broken ship because of those three." "They're really that smart are they?" "Honest!" Both James and Meowth said. "Hm...Alright! But if anything breaks its both of your faults for getting them involved!" Jessie broke the group huddle up. "Alright, you little twerpet- I mean...darlings. You can help with our little dinghy." "Woohoo!" The CMC howled in unison as they were now apart of this little dinghy building activity The CMC would only help out with minor things while Team Rocket handle the major parts since they can't risk three kids breaking their boat. All of this would be done in the Drink Deck while everyone else enjoys themselves on the Royal Unova. Although, judging by the time, some were still asleep so the silence was a bit more present. The CMC, Team Rocket, Ash and the others were the few passengers still awake. Along with the Team Plasma Grunt. If anything, he was the most active on the ship. Even though he had gathered up valuable information about the Arcane Sea, he still needed more. Sitting around wouldn't help, so he decided to get a move and find further information. One place that could prove to be effective might be the Sports Deck, where most of the outside can be seen, besides the windows. The Team Plasma Grunt, walking in a very shady manner while concealing his hat since everyone at this point knows who Team Plasma is, from Unova to Equestria, went up to the sports deck to get a wider view. Looking over at the Arcane Sea, the grunt observed the streams of water and the Pokemon inside of them. After all, the Pure Liquid Milotic and Electrified Gengar were enough to essentially make it clear that these waters change a Pokemon in some way. So paying attention to them was crucial. And when he spots a Special Pokemon, he'll have plenty of Poke Balls to snag one, plus a Pokemon of his own to do most of the dirty work. Upon reaching the Sports Deck, he heard some very valuable and new information that he could benefit from greatly. And it came from two Gorebyss's that were swimming in the same spot. "Byss! Gorebyss!" The two Gorebyess seemed to be arguing about something from their facial expressions and how they were clashing their mouths onto each other. At first glance, this seemed like an average everyday fight between two individuals that will end up getting resolved in the end or escalate to a high degree as always. And that was certainly the case. Except, there was a massive twist in this. Both Gorebyss's backed up from each other as they were about to battle it out to sort their problems. As a Pokemon normally does. However, what came next shocked the Team Plasma Grunt and those on the Sports Deck who could see most of the outside. The Gorebyss's both used moves they could never use in the first place. Dragon Pulse and Flare Blitz. The first Gorebyess fired a dragon-shaped shockwave while the second Gorebyss charged in with an aura of fire around it. Flare Blitz crashed into Dragon Pulse as the two moves cancelled each other out, giving the passengers a free battle to witness between two Pokemon who pulled off unexpected moves. "Woah! I didn't know Gorebyss can learn Dragon Pulse and Flare Blitz!" A pony exclaimed. "It can't!" A human bellowed. "These waters are something else, aren't they?!" "Yeah but it's a real shame that it's temporary...I want a Special Pokemon that lasts forever too..." Another human sighed. Now that was something to report to Colress. Moves that Pokemon cannot use in any way shape or form but they could now use because of these mysterious waters in the Arcane Sea. Originally, the grunt was aiming to catch the Pokemon that looked different. Now, he has the option to catch any Pokemon and there wouldn't be a difference. Obviously, as the trainer said, it's temporary. So it won't last forever. Meaning that a Pokemon that looks different would be the grunt's best option. However, that's where Colress can come into play. Like with how he's researching Dynamax at the moment, which is also temporary in its own way, the grunt knew that their excellent scientist would find a way to make it permanent. But, there was one problem. And it's the same problem that Team Rocket are facing themselves. For the Plasma Grunt to get the Pokemon in the Poke Ball, it would mean getting outside in the vast spacious area of the Arcane Sea. Which the grunt certainly couldn't do on his own. And the Pokemon he had couldn't fly or levitate. And his throwing skills aren't exactly highly accurate like Ash's. So there was a large obstacle to overcome. For now, he would focus on the Special Pokemon who have different appearances instead of the Pokemon who use moves they can never normally use. All the while, Colress was gathering new information all the way in Pyrestar's world which now belonged to Ghetsis. Back at the premium cabin, Ash and Pikachu were still asleep while their friends continue to have fun. But they themselves were getting tired. All except for Pinkie Pie, who still hadn't lost her Sonic Voice. She couldn't sleep without letting one single bellow out. It was highly tempting and a pony such as Pinkie Pie can't hold back the temptations for much longer. There was one major possibility to rid the Sonic Voice and it's what Twilight theorized. Using all of it in one massive go. And Pinkie Pie was planning to do that. But if she did, she would end up causing major destruction to the Royal Unova. And no one wants that. Luckily, Twilight, being the genius that she is, found a way around this. "Alright." She clapped her hooves together. "It took some time, but I think I've found a way to get rid of that Sonic Voice without causing too much damage." "Really?" "Mhm. Obviously, we're not going to use it in one powerful shout. That'll be too catastrophic. Instead, we'll use it with your normal voice bit by bit. That way, you'll gradually lose it. At least, that's my theory." "What like, every second?" Rainbow Dash said. "No. More like every 5 minutes. That way we'll avoid less destruction." Twilight answered. "I hope. Try talking normally, Pinkie." "Okay..." Pinkie Pie cleared her throat as she could finally speak without having to hush herself. "Feels good to speak." Just a few words and she had already blown her friends back by her Sonic Voice as sound waves pushed them back. The room was obviously affected as it was like a tornado came in here. It even reached the outside, affecting some of the nearest decks and cabins in the Royal Unova, sending a powerful wind pressure through. And yet, somehow, Ash and Pikachu were still asleep. Audino's feelers took a lot of damage from that as she fell on her back with Fluttershy and Chikorita rushing over to their fallen friend. "O-Okay...good!" Twilight gasped as she got up from the ground. "Just wait 5 minutes and speak again okay?" "Okie Dokie, Lokie." She squeed. "That's curious." Rarity noticed something as she straightened her out after the Sonic Voice. "Rainbow Dash. I've noticed that your Braviary's completely unmoved by it." "Oh yeah! You think it's the dragon scales on him that's doing it?" Rainbow Dash flew over to her partner, patting her hoof on his scales. When she did, she could feel its aggressively hard texture as her hoof had been injured upon contact. "Ow! Oh..yeah...it's the scales alright...Ow!" "Yeah well, all this Arcane Sea stuff's making me a bit sleepy too." Applejack yawned as Sceptile picked her up. "Kinda want some relaxation right about now." "Then head on down to the Vitality Deck." Rarity suggested. "You'll be soothed in no time, darling." "Vitality Deck, huh? Got it." AJ nodded. "Sceptile. Golett. Let's go." "Tile!" "Gol!" "Mmm...Aunt Hillary...More Mac and Cheese please..." Ash spoke in his sleep again, dreaming of food this time. "Pikachu..." "Look at those two." Rarity gushed. " A shame you haven't confessed to Ash yet, Twilight. Even before we came into the premium cabin. It's not that difficult is it?" "It's pretty difficult, Rarity. I'm kinda new to this so cut me some slack." Twilight grumbled. "Oh, it's fine. I know you'll do it someday, Twilight. Even if it takes a while." Rarity replied. "Hopefully soon. I want to get to Jirachi as soon as possible so that we can keep these worlds together. Or I might never get the chance to tell Ash how I feel." "Or, an even better scenario. He finds out how you feel. How does that sound?" Rarity smirked. "Ash figuring it out? No-no-no-no. Impossible." Twilight shook her head. "Although..." "Gack..." Rainbow Dash felt like gagging from all this talk about romantic crushes. The same can be said for Absol, who was resting in the corner, overhearing everything. However, Absol's hearing of romantic crushes would soon come to an end as his horn was vibrating, meaning that he was detecting a potential disaster nearby. "Sol?!" The Disaster Pokemon stood up in a heartbeat as he was already prepared to take action. "Absol? What's wrong?! What's coming?!" Twilight flew over to her partner, knowing that whenever Absol's horn shakes, the mood shifts from calm to serious. 100% of the time. Sometimes 99%. Everyone's attention was put towards Absol as they themselves were ready for whatever was coming their way. And Absol wasn't the only one to know this. Drake himself was aware too. As always. But these weren't his draconic senses kicking in. Instead, his eyes were what gave him clarity of what potential disaster was close by. From the perception in front, Drake spotted yet another unexpected sight in these unpredictable waters. But it was something he was fairly familiar with. A gigantic tsunami crest that was floating in the Arcane Sea and was wide enough to engulf the entire Royal Unova and more was right in front of them, raging with ferocity. This tsunami was as large as an entire Pokemon City. Its size was comparable to that of Vermillion City. So it was definitely not small at all. Not only that, but this tsunami, like everything else in this sea, had a special trait to it. And surprisingly, it wasn't the sheer size of it. Instead, this tsunami had something other than water. It was a Flaming Tsunami. Of all things. Drake had never seen a tsunami this wide or unique. It could devour an entire region from how wide and gigantic it was in size. Truly a spectacle to behold. "A tsunami!" The Watchkeeper exclaimed. "It's gigantic!" The helmsman gasped. "And on fire?!" "This sea continues to impress! Seems as if it is challenging us! Excellent!" Drake simply laughed at this as his crew were confused on why he would laugh in the face of danger such as this. "But, we'll just simply overcome it like always!" "W-W-We're not gonna sail through it...are we?" A crew member gulped. "Of course not. We're going to ride it!" Drake exclaimed. "That doesn't sound any better..." "Captain! The Royal Unova is made out of metal! It'll surely melt if-" The helmsman tried to convince Drake. "You underestimate the Royal Unova's capabilities, boy. This ship is a tried and true ship. Made to withstand even fierce Pokemon attacks. As if a Flaming Tsunami is going to stop it." "But will it be enough?" "We'll see. Besides...we have our Pokemon to assist us. All of you! Ride on that Flaming Tsunami! The sooner we get past it, the closer we get to that Special Haxorus!" "Aye captain!" Once more, by captains orders, the crew got to work while Drake sent out his Kingdra. "Kingdra!" "Kingdra! Let us see you overcome odds once more! Head out and use Surf on that tsunami!" "Dra!" The Dragon Pokemon flew out of the ship to assist in dealing with this Flaming Tsunami with its own powerful cress. Kingdra's eyes glowed blue as it created a huge wave of water that it then rode on, heading straight for the Flaming Tsunami. Riding on the Flaming Tsunami would mean defying all odds. But that's exactly what Drake and all of the Pokemon World was known for. Performing the impossible. The ship was already very close to the Flaming Tsunami since it was actually moving towards them. Kingdra was actually the first to interact with the Flaming Tsunami with Surf being a catalyst for Kingdra's method for riding on the blazing wave. Since Kingdra was a Water-Dragon-Type, Fire was essentially non-existent as it could barely harm the Dragon Pokemon at all. Thus, Kingdra would have an easier time with this as it was now riding on the Flaming Tsunami while using Surf as a surfboard. Somewhere out there, Brawly is grinning with joy. But the question was; could the Royal Unova ride on the tsunami without being melted. There was only one way to find out as the heat of the Flaming Tsunami was already reaching the inside of the ship without even making contact. Passengers were starting to feel hot all of a sudden as they hadn't yet seen the Flaming Tsunami. But, they could spot an orange aura outside, coming straight from the flames of the Flaming Tsunami. Kingdra's Surf was powerful enough to combat the Flaming Tsunami as some of the water was putting out the flames, diminishing the size of the Flaming Tsunami. But it wasn't enough yet. "Good work, Kingdra! But we'll need more to stop this behemoth of a tsunami! Dragalge! Assist him!" Drake sent out a second Pokemon for assistance. His Dragalge. "Dragalge!" "Head out and use Hydro Pump!" "Galge!" The Mock Kelp Pokemon flew out of the ship, heading off to help his fellow Dragon-Type. The Poison-Dragon-Type hovered above the Royal Unova as its body was outlined in a blue light. Then, out of its mouth, a powerful blast of high volume water came flying out, connecting with the Flaming Tsunami. The water of Hydro Pump helped to diminish the flames as the ship would have less potential problems. Everyone looked outside, finally seeing the Flaming Tsunami as they were both amazed and terrified and for all the right reasons. A normal tsunami is bad enough. A tsunami with fire is just too much. Team Rocket and the CMC each gulped in unison as they realized that their little boat building plan might come to an end since there was a tsunami on fire outside. The dinghy would be obliterated if they even thought about sailing out into the Arcane Sea with that behemoth of a tsunami. And those in the premium cabin had their own reactions too. "Oh, that is so cool!" Rainbow Dash gawked. "But highly dangerous! Where did it come from?!" Rarity gasped. "We're going straight for it! Why are we going straight for it?!" Twilight screeched. Indeed, they were going straight for it. It was already in front of them and the ship certainly wasn't fast enough to avoid it from all sides. So there were no other options. Drake narrowed his eyes as he saw the Flaming Tsunami diminish in size gradually because of his Pokemon. With their chances of making it through increase, the Royal Unova sped up as it finally came in contact with the Flaming Tsunami. Just like Kingdra, the Royal Unova was riding on the Flaming Tsunami, however, not as easily as Kingdra. When riding on it, the flames were already affecting the metal of the ship. Mainly the lower part. As the Royal Unova rode on the tsunami, the ship had tilted, prompting many of the passengers to fall sideways as they were all screaming at this sudden angle shift. Objects inside of the ship were affected by the angle shift, but Drake's crew made sure that they wouldn't tilt too hard. The ship hadn't fully titled over as it was now stuck at an Acute Angle. The little dinghy that Team Rocket and the CMC were making was almost destroyed by this tilt, but thankfully, James managed to grab it. "I'm gonna be sick..." Apple Bloom groaned. "Kingdra!" The Dragon Pokemon turned to his fellow Dragon-Type, speaking about how they were going to further overcome this Flaming Tsunami. "Draga! Galge!" Dragalge had an idea that he believed would work. And it would require both of them to combine their moves. Upon agreement, the two Pokemon decided to merge their strongest Water-Type moves as one. Both of them had Hydro Pump and if they were to merge them to create a larger Hydro Pump, then the results would be glorious. The Dragon Pokemon surfed off the Flaming Tsunami as he hovered over to Dragalge. Both Pokemon looked at each other, nodding in understanding as they looked over at the Fire Tsunami which was right in front of them. The heat didn't bother them at all despite being this close. By holding their breath in, and in perfect unison, both of Drake's Pokemon blasted high volumes of water from their mouths as the two Hydro Pumps merged to create a stronger, faster and larger Hydro Pump. The powered-up Hydro Pump clashed with the Flaming Tsunami, instantly showing better results than the previous Hydro Pump and Surf. In just a few seconds, the flames of the tsunami were diminishing at a lightning-fast rate as the Royal Unova was slowly reaching the top. "That's good! Keep it up you two!" Drake exclaimed. "Increase the speed further! We're going above that tsunami!" "Aye captain!" The speed had been further increased as the Royal Unova was still maintaining balance while Hydro Pump was destroying the Flaming Tsunami. Everyone on the ship held on as they looked outside to see that they might actually make it through this Flaming Tsunami unharmed. The ship might be a little bit damaged by it, but the Milotic from earlier already damaged it anyway. However, the tsunami seemed to have a mind of its own as it increased in ferocity, pushing the Hydro Pump back as it was not going to let the Royal Unova pass at any cost. Drake could see that the Arcane Sea was in fact trying to stop him and the ship. But as if he'd let that happen. Now the Hydro Pump and Flaming Tsunami were fighting for dominance. "Are we gonna make it?!" said Applejack. "Hopefully! It's good in the middle but once they get to the top of the tsunami that'll be a problem!" Rainbow bellowed. "Can't this ship go any faster?!" "Faster...?" Hearing that made Twilight come to an amazing realization. There was a way to fully break through this tsunami and Pinkie Pie was the key. "Pinkie Pie! Yell as loud as you can from the outside!" "What? But that'll cause big damage to the ship!" "Not as much as damage as this tsunami's going to cause! If you do it facing away from the ship, it'll boost it and cause less damage that way! Quick!" "Alright!" Pinkie Pie ran outside, standing near the jacuzzi of the premium cabin as she looked into the vast space of the Arcane Sea. She held her breath in, preparing to unleash everything that she wanted to say for a while now out loud. "A Sonic Voice was cool at first but now it's just a big inconvenience!" With that one sentence, she emitted a sound wave so powerful that it reached 120 decibels, just as loud as thunder. The sound wave blew Pinkie Pie herself back, but it also helped greatly by giving the Royal Unova the necessary boost to break past its natural speed limitations and completely zoom across the Flaming Tsunami. Kingdra and Dragalge stopped using their Hydro Pump as they themselves were affected by this sound wave, rocketing in the same direction as the Royal Unova. The ship had finally reached the top of the Flaming Tsunami. But not only did it reach the top, but it also flew over it, becoming airborne and everyone in the ship were now floating because of the airborne status of the Royal Unova. And yet, Ash and Pikachu were still asleep. They had finally passed the Flaming Tsunami, avoiding a major disaster as Pinkie Pie's mouth was smoking. She groaned as she realized that powerful sound waves weren't coming out anymore. Meaning that she had spent all of her Sonic Voice in that one attack. "Oh...! Finally...!" Pinkie Pie was relieved. "D-Did we make it through?!" Spike stammered. "More than that...look!" Twilight had pointed her hoof outside as she had spotted something in the distance. The Flaming Tsunami was hiding something from the Royal Unova. Which is why it was such a large obstacle in the first place and why Drake was determined to get through it. And it was soon revealed to everyone what it was hiding. There was an entire planet that was being concealed by the Flaming Tsunami. A planet that was vastly smaller than Earth but just around the same size as the moon, but slightly smaller. It seemed to have a Grass-Type theme to it. It had a gargantuan tree that was visible from the space of the Arcane Sea and wrapped in two intersecting vines. "A Planet..." Fluttershy and Coco both gawked. "T-This is just a sea...right?" Applejack's jaw dropped. "Mrrgh..." Ash and Pikachu were finally awake as they woke up at the right time. A shame they missed out on the Flaming Tsunami. "Hey, guys...what's going on? "Pika?" "Ash...Pikachu! You have to see this!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Hm?" Both Ash and Pikachu walked over to their friends to see what they were staring at. As they rubbed their eyes, they themselves were graced with this wonderful sight of a planet in the Arcane Sea. "A Planet?!" "Pikachu?!" Everyone was stunned, even Drake. Many were convinced that they were actually in space at this point and that planet was enough to convince them. Drake smiled as he knew his Special Haxorus had moved somewhere near here and there's a chance it could be on that planet. "Wait for me, my Special Haxorus." As the journey continues. Chapter 344 End.
