k.k. cruisin' [m]

Erin Caulfield

How in the world did Savannah afford a luxury cruise? Well, that was an easy question: she didn't. Before you get the wrong idea.. No, Savannah did not sneak onto the cruise for a much needed moment of respite. While she wished she was a normal passenger, reality was much less glamorous.

"Do me a favor and bring me a frozen margarita, will you? Mago-flavored." That's right, Savannah was an employee on the cruise ship. "Yes, ma'am!" her response was immediate as if it had been programmed into her DNA. Honestly, that was almost the case.

She was about to scurry off when the woman spoke again. Savannah pivoted, ready to take note of the passenger's new order when-

"Ah, it's you... Saharah?" Upon closer inspection, recognition flashed across her face. "Oh, Miss Erin!" She probably shouldn't be that surprised. Erin fit among the classy passengers with ease. It was a blaring reminder of how outclassed Savannah was in - well - everything.

However, the odds of running into one of the many, many residents of the Hoenn region twice in a row were highly unlikely. A strange coincidence considering she it hadn't been long since she met Erin. The customer was always right, but she murmured, voice barely audible, "Oh, uhm, it's Savannah." It's a small world after all, isn't it?

"I'll be right back with your drink-" Savannah stumbled forward as the boat suddenly rocked. A siren rang loudly as the captain spoke over the loud speakers, "Pirates! Embrace for impact!"

Uh-oh. Cue the pandemonium which spread as quickly as wild fire.

Haaah. What an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. A nervous chuckle escaped through her tightly clamped lips. "Sorry. I didn't notice Marigold 'ere slip out from under my hat. She's a little.. clingy and overprotective." Savannah adjusted her beige bucket hat as Marigold, now content, flutter above her head. "You should see 'er 'round flowers. She goes bonkers." Her accent was thick and articulation loose: a side effect of the nerves that wracked her body and mind.

His Ribombee did not appear pleased by Marigold's action. "Mari, you oughtta apologize." The Cutie attempted to use her puppy-dog eyes to sway Savannah but she stood strong. "To both of 'em."

Sheepishly, Marigold cautiously fluttered near the Ribombee. "Cu.."

It felt wrong to call someone who was clearly about her in such a casual way. Still.. if that was what he wanted then she would at least try. "Oh, ah, yeah. I'm Savannah." But he already knew that, didn't he? She nearly facepalmed at the realization.

“Are you scared?” The question caught Savannah off guard. She hesitated, unsure of how to answer. A few moments skipped by before she finally replied, "Yes." A small smile crinkled the corners of her mouth. "My hometown is a rough type of place. Pirates aren't really all that scary compared to.." she trailed off, "Yet I'm still 'fraid."

Savannah was quick to shift the conversation, "I s'ppose we should have some strategy." Because she sure has heck haven't thought of one. "What do you reckon we do?"

For a second, excitement bubbled in her eyes, "Do we need code names?" She pondered for a moment, contemplating a fitting undercover name, when common sense hit her like a truck. It wasn't as if anyone knew who she was. They possibly knew Mr. Ivanov, given his title and all, but.. it wasn't like they were actually undercover. "Uh, scratch that. That's somethin' for movies, ain't it?"

Like the Sharpedo, the Dratini preferred racing in the water. Being a young, underdeveloped dragon meant that Silk’s ability to fly was.. lacking. At that was putting it lightly. Her winged ears allowed her to glide but that wasn’t really flying, was it? On the bright side, her ears worked like sails in the water. They also worked a lot like oats, enabling her to quickly drift by any obstacle in her path by with surprising agility.

Meanwhile, Savannah was struggling to figure out how to safely hop from one stone to the next without slipping into the water.

One, two, go!

A horn trumpeted a loud and off-pitch tune to declare the start of the race. Savannah startled at the sound, nearly tripping over her own two feet. Great. What a positively stunning start.

Savannah’s “scarf” went rogue at the starting signal. A competitive ferocity glinted contrasted the elegant way the Dratini held herself. Elegance soon melted away into a silent ferocity as Silk weaves around obstacles with surprising agility.

Uh.. what? Snakes could move that fast? Wait.. she was falling behind a slithering serpent. Granted, they were on the same team but her self-esteem (not that she had much of that) was flattened. ”A’ight!” Savannah cheered Silk on and, to a greater extent, herself.

Ermagerd. How did this pirate know her name? Was he also a stalker? Had he been hunting her? Was she about to walk to plank? Be turned into chum?! Her life was pretty pathetic, sure, but she still had so much to live for! She was too young to die! She had people counting on her and and-

“The League sent me." Savannah's catastrophising was put on a (potentially temporarily) hold. Although hesitant, her brown eyes eventually flickered down to the identification card. She didn't have much time to examine it. That was suspicious. Very, very suspicious. Still..

"Foretree.." she muttered to herself. Was that his name? No, but it certainly sounded familiar. Eyebrows furrowed in concentration which was almost immediately broken when, “Whoa, okay, tell your Cutiefly to calm down."

Huh? Huuuuh? But she was right under her hat- Or so she had thought before she saw the small speck flapping its wings at mach speed in an attempt to reach the "pirate" as soon as possible. "Marigold! Wait!"

Marigold's tunnel vision caused the words to go in one ear and out the other. Once she was focused there was nothing capable of drawing her attention. Well, nothing that she could see or hear. Her sense of smell, on the other-hand, was always working when it came to the delicious smell of her favorite treat.

"Cu?" Marigold questioned, as if asking for permission to consume the delicious treat from her fellow species. As soon as she was given the go ahead, she plunged her head into the puff of pollen.

With the Cutiefly subdued, Savannah awkwardly scratched the back of her head. "Ah, sorry 'bout that." No one bad would have such a sweetiepie for a Pokemon, right? Plus.. he didn't really look like you're stereotypical pirate now that she had a chance to look at him. Her cheeks burned with the telltale sign of embarrassment. "I reckon you're Lieutenant Ivanov?"

So, Savannah was desperate for money.. but surely not this desperate? Robbing pirates.. What in the world had she been thinking? While trying to search for another part time job, or any odd one-time deals, she had heard a fella saying he needed recruits. That blah blah blah, blah blah blah and whoever completed it would earn a reward. Looking back, she should have paid more attention before foolishly volunteering herself out what felt like a suicide mission.

Due to her lack of experience, she was told that she would be assigned to the lieutenant of the league (what did that even mean?). His contact information had been given to her.. but when she tried to call there was no answer. Perhaps she had typed it in wrong?

Praying that her "partner" was already on site, Savannah followed the crudely drawn map to the lost goods that had been plundered by freaking pirates. Why the hell had she not just turned around? There was no contract signing her to this commitment. Of course, she knew the reason: if she flaked than it could hurt her reputation. Er.. not that she had any in the Hoenn region.

Nose in the map, trying to discern the roughly drawn images, Savannah didn't see the man until she nearly ran right into him. Luckily, the small fairy type that liked to live under her hat alerted her in time. Eyes enlarged as Savannah stared at the man, mouth agape. "P-Pirate!"

Name: Savannah Anne Huckabee
Phone Number: xxx-xxx-xxx
Email: I apologize but I don't have one of those.
Education:

The pen fidgeted in her trembling hand. Education.. Eyebrows furrowed into knotted frustration. Why did every single one of these applications have an "education" section? It wasn't like she was applying to be some CEO! Like, what was the big deal with having a fancy-schmancy degree? Savannah shoved the incomplete application into her bag.

A pink hue flushed her normally pale cheeks as she stared at her bag. She wasn't actually mad but simply embarrassed by her background, her education level, where she was raised -- all of that and more. Savannah never realized how insecure the topic made her until she set foot in Slateport City. The second she had arrived in Slateport Harbor she felt dizzy from all of the overwhelming sights and sounds.

Savannah was fairly certain there were more people in this one city than in all of Orre. Although that statistic was probably not true.. Maybe. All she knew was her tiny, decrepit town of Pyrite and "the Under" that lurked beneath it. The education offered to her when she was young had been limited (and that was putting it lightly). The teachers nor most students cared. A lot dropped out to join gangs or work in order to help provide for their families: Savannah was one of the latter.

The population of Slateport City was... Well, there were some nice people but a lot seemed too busy scurrying about their day, eyes glued to their advanced cellphones. Since when could phones access the internet? It was all so confusing and mind-boggling. There were many who looked down upon her: calling her a bumpkin or a hick. She had returned to the location of an interview as she forgot something.. only to find the interviewer and some fellow employees laughing at her expense. It was certainly an eye-opening experience.

After the mayhem in the safari zone, she should have continued on her way. What had possessed her to turn back to this city? Well, for one, she knew the location and, secondly, she desperately needed a job. ASAP. Most of her meager savings had been used on the voyage to Hoenn.. which was beginning to think was a huge mistake.

Hair covered her face as her head hung low in defeat. In the distance, the jubilee and merriment of the large festival could be heard. Savannah didn't dare get too close, worried about the potential judging eyes that would be drawn to her. That was a little self-centered, wasn't it? Despite the situation, she chuckled to herself. As if people would really take the time to notice her. Honestly, she was overthinking her visibility in the eyes of the established public.

After all, she was just some bumpkin from a region that wasn't even included on some maps.

Savannah hurriedly gathered the safari ball. She needed to find an exit. Fast. Heat stroke was no joke and she wasn't sure what happened in the pokeballs. For all she knew, the ice type could still be struggling. If she didn't find a Pokecenter fast enough.. would he die? Oh god, oh god. The thought made her head spin and chest tighten.

"We gotta go!" But.. which way? And what if she ran into that ghost again - No! That didn't matter. A life was at stake here (not really but she didn't know what). She frantically looked left and right, left and right. Nothing looked familiar. At. All. Savannah was lost and she was going to be the demise of the penguin and--

Teddy cleared his throat. When Savannah's attention wasn't diverted to him, he cleared his throat again.. louder this time. At last, the panic ridden woman looked at her companion. He started walking, turning around to make sure she was following. "You know the way out? Are you sure? I mean, I trust you and whole lot more than I trust myself-" she trailed off when she noticed Teddy off in the distance, giving her an exasperated look.

The trek back was uneventful. Teddy had a wonderful memory (he could always recall where he found honey) and the Dratini had dozed off. Considering her luck, it was surprising how smooth the rushed voyage was-

Aaand she spoke too soon.

Consumed by worrisome thoughts, Savannah didn't notice the small Pokemon until she accidentally tripped over it. With a small squeak, she stumbled as she tried to regain her balance. Unfortunately, she ended up flat on her face. At first, she thought she had tripped over a root but the surprised cry of a Pokemon told her otherwise. It overlapped with the confused, drowsy cry of the Dratini that had somehow managed to stay around her neck.

"Oh my - I'm so, so sorry." Her shaky words feel on deaf ears as the spooked Pokemon suddenly shot a strange, black pollen at her. Teddy tensed up and rushed to her side, glaring at the small bug. "Teddy, I'm fine. We need to hurry.." At that moment her leg went numb and, for the second time, she found herself face first on the ground. The paralysis had finally settled in.

By the time Savannah could hoist herself up, unsteady due to her limp leg, the source of the paralysis was not moving. Teddy stood over it in a fit of rage. He had attacked, slashing his foe, the moment Savannah fell. "Teddy! Stop! It's my fault. I spooked the little critter." Of course, it was too late now.

The Scatterbug was unconscious which left it defenseless against birds of prey. As her leg began to regain its functionality, she dug through the pockets for the last safari ball. Teddy tried to protest but it was too late: the ball had been thrown.

Two of the three balls now held collapsed, unconscious Pokemon (that is, if she actually caught the small bug). Savannah scurried toward the entrance that was now within view, Teddy hot on her heels. Maybe the scary warden would know where the nearest Pokemon center was..

attempting to catch the scatterbug!

Accompanied by a brief flash of light, the Dratini dematerialized into the safari ball. The ball didn’t even shake. Instead, there was a simple click and that was the end of it. Huh. Savannah has never thought catching Pokémon would be such an easy feat. Not that she was complaining! She was grateful that she didn’t have to experience an intense battle that would, without a doubt, leave her with a nasty stomachache.

When she was reaching for her bag to safely store the capsule it opened on its own. Another abrupt flash caused her eyes to close. Was she wrong? Had she actually failed? Her worries were calmed when she felt the weight of the Dratini on her neck. Well, this gave SavannaH a great opportunity to bond with her new teammate. ”Hmm. We oughta give you a proper name now.”

A loud cry interrupted Savannah’s musings. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized that she recognized the sound. Teddy! The Dratini was forced to cling tighter to Savannah as she dashed in the direction of the cry. Please be alright, please be alright.

Teddy was pacing in an open clearing when Savannah found him. His ears pricked up at the sound of her footsteps and as soon as she was in viewed, he pointed toward a tree with sticky paws. He paused for a moment, a silent question on his face regarding the Dratini curled around his trainer but that could wait.. for now.

Concern was painted clearly on Savannah’s face. After confirming Teddy wasn’t injured, she cautiously approached the figure that the bear now hovered. A penguin was collapsed on the ground, large ice chunks scattered around its head area. A honeycomb could be seen near its head as well as the hive itself and suspicious honey paw prints were on its face. Savannah frowned at Teddiursa who smiled innocently with an expression that clearly read, ”Who me?”

She didn’t have time now to reprimand her Pokemon that was clearly caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Savannah crouched down next to the penguin who was sweating profusely. It appeared, from her limited first aid knowledge, that it had collapsed from heat exhaustion.

Savannah searches for the second safari ball that had been given to her. Her stomach twisted into knots as she hovered over the penguin. She didn’t want to force it into any situation but she had to get him to a Pokecenter. Eyes clamped shut, she weakly tossed the capturing device. Although guilt gnawed at her stomach, she knew this was the only way. Once the Pokemon was recovered she would be able to offer him the choice of staying with her or being escorted back to the safari zone.

Teddy was busy mourning the loss of his honeycomb. Unfortunately, it had fallen from his hands when Savannah scooped him up and ran like the wind. Maybe he could find another one? Mm, yes.

As Teddy went foraging, a serpentine head popped out of the surface of a nearby pond. The previous commotion had stirred a Dratini whose curiosity got the better of it. Savannah didn't notice the tiny dragon Pokemon at first glance.. nor second, nor third. She was scanning her surroundings for the ghost who probably claimed her soul and keeping an eye on Teddy. She couldn't afford her Pokemon getting into more mischief.

By now the Dratini had reached the woman, scales reflecting marvelous in the sun. Savannah, at last, noticed the small serpent.. snake.. thing. "Oh!" was all Savannah managed to muster as she finally managed to catch her breath. The Pokemon looked familiar but she wasn't quite able to grasp its name.

And then the snake was slithering up her leg. Savannah tried her best not to freak out but her mind kept wandering to outrageous scenarios. She didn't want to hurt the Pokemon but it was rapidly approaching her neck. Ah, what should she do?! What should she-

The Dratini coiled herself loosely around Savannah's neck as if she was a scarf rather than a small dragon type. She let out a breath of content as she looked up to the human. Savannah nervously looked down, but upon seeing the Pokemon's adorable eyes looking up at her she melted. Well, not literally but her heart sure did.

"Uh, this may be presumptuous to ask and all but.." she trailed off, trying to find the correct words. "Did you - maybe, possibly - want to come with me? Your scales are so beautiful and you're the cutest snake I've ever seen and-" Savannah continued to ramble as she fumbled with a safari ball.

If she caught the Dratini, she would later discover that the young dragon loved to act as a scarf. Why? She would never know. She wasn't capable of understanding Pokemon. Teddy would be the only one able to understand why the Dratini did what she did.

Spoiler alert: she people watched for the longest time. As it was a cold where she originally encountered them, she noticed many were wearing brilliant scarfs. Being young and impressionable, the Dratini imprinted the memory of those scarves which looked so much like her, into her memory. This poor human didn't own a scarf and looked rather disheveled . She could really use a fashion update.. and the Dratini was here to help.

Wow. Now that she truly looked around rather than searching for her rogue Teddiursa her mouth was left agape in awe. It was beautiful here. While the towns she had visited also left her speechless, the safari zone made her practically swoon. There was so much flora - so much life! This was a stark contrast from the dusty, decrepit town that she hailed from.

Completely enthralled by the beauty that is nature, Savannah wandered further in. Every so often she would point out a pretty flower or anything else that caught her interest to Teddy. Let's be honest, though. Basically everything caught her interest.

Ugh, can I live here? Probably not. She would never be able to afford the "rent" and roughing it out in the wilderness was not her expertise.

Suddenly, the hair on the nape of her neck pricked up and a chill shivered down her spine. Savannah immediately snapped out of her fantasies. It felt like she was being watched. Even Teddy, who was previously preoccupied with the honeycomb he had managed to snatch, stopped in his tracks.

"Uh.. hello? Is- Is someone there?" The air had turned cold despite the burning sun. "Teddy, we should leave- EEEEP!" Something had licked her head. Licked it! Savannah spun around and instantly wished she hadn't. A floating ball made of spirits (because there was no way it could be as simple as a ball of gas) was right behind her.

This- This was culprit who licked her. Oh Arceus, oh legendaries: did the ghost plan on possessing her? Had she been cursed the moment its tongue terrorized her hair? Questions caused her anxiety to worsen as her "I'm terrified as fu-" meter was off the charts.

Teddy had stepped in between the ghost and Savannah. Her knees buckled as she forcibly swallowed a scream down her throat. Trembling hands picked up the small bear and she fled. She ran as if her life depended on it, which it totally did.

Savannah only stopped when her breathing became too ragged and her vision too blurry. Teddy jumped from her arms, looking around as his trainer bent over, hands on her knees. The ~~Pokemon~~ ghost hadn't chased them.

Once he was convinced, he nodded to himself and meandered over to Savannah.. who promptly jumped with a small squeak when he touched her legs. Teddy suppressed a chuckle as he flashed a thumbs up, or something of the sorts. Savannah breathed a sigh of relief although her legs still shook like a newborn foal.

Now, uh, where in the world was she? The entrance was no longer in view.

3 Safari Balls remaining.

A small sigh caused the corners of her lips to curve downward into a frown. How long had she been in Hoenn? A few days? Possibly a week? Either way, she hadn't expected to almost immediately burn a hole through her wallet. The trip to the region itself had caused a hefty loss in her personal expenses and now she had to pay 50 Pokedollars to enter this "safari zone". She had barely even managed to scrape together enough money to enter!

Her scowl faded when she caught sight of the tiny bear Pokemon that was responsible for her wallet lightening. Savannah could never stay mad at him. He was just too dang cute. Still, she did her best to lecture her companion, "Teddy, you know you shouldn't trespass!" She tried to look and sound stern but wasn't quite there. "Do you have any idea how intimidating that warden was? I could barely speak!"

Teddy responded through the paw in his mouth, "Teddi?" He cocked his head to the side, looking puzzled and oh-so-freaking-adorable. His face and paws were covered with honey: the reason Savannah had to forfeit her money. The small bear had caught the scent of honey drifting from the sanctuary and run off.

She hadn't known this was some special conservation facility until the warden at the gate stopped her. Savannah had tried to explain that she was just looking for her Pokemon and that she wouldn't be here long but, as one could see, she was unsuccessful.

"Okay, okay. Please stop with the eyes." The Teddiursa's wide-eyed gaze was making Savannah feel like it was her fault for this predicament. In a sense, it was. She should have paid more attention and caught ~~the little thief~~ Teddy before any harm could be caused to her pockets. "I guess.. we might as well look around while we're here?"

Despite her (weak) persistence that she simply wanted to find her runaway Pokemon, the warden had given her three odd-looking Pokeballs. He mentioned something about how purchasing a ticket (which she had no real choice but to do) allowed for three chances to catch some of the inhabitants.. or something like that.
