Chapter Text

 

ChosenOne: its morning now and at first for a while we were alarmed and worried about the ship passing these large whirlpools, only to told by passangers its nothing to worry about


DragonMaster: at is nothing to worry about since the whirlpools are common here and the ship is made to withstand them


ChosenOne: and 3 attendants showed up, only it was the trio when they tried to net one of our pokemon and got me instead, so we have to battle the trio now


LivingLegend: so much for a peaceful boat ride

 



ChosenOne: so the trio sent us and themselves overboard and the ship continued on without us, and before we got sucked into a whirlpool, misty called out merina and croconaw, with her holding onto merina, brock to croconaw, and me to kakashi, which made me glad kakashi was the only other pokemon besides togepi and triton that was out


GroundQueen: are you saying you 3 are still in the water?


WaterGirl: we are


DragonMaster: ill alert the ferry about you 3 going overboard


MovieStar: of all the times to send amphy back to the gym


WaterGirl: dont get me started on that


WaterGirl: we also almost got pulled in the whirlpool current again, if it wasn't for the siluete of a familiar pokemon


MovieStar: which one?


ChosenOne: a lugia


LivingLegend: i didn't know there was one here


DragonMaster: there was rumors of one, but glad to know those rumors are true now


SquintyEyes: and now a corsola is swimming towards us and is circling us


WaterGirl: aand now a tentacruel grabbed us with its tenticles and to a different ship with professor elm there and taking us to his boat with the corsola being his


WaterGirl: and now i want one of my own


DragonMaster: at least elm was there and ill let the ferry know elm found you three and is taking you to shore on a different ferry

 



ChosenOne: as we were on the ship, with us catching up to elm, who said he caught corsola while doing research on the islands, with the first island the ship is going to is blue point isle, towards inland city, the entry way to the whirl islands


SquintyEyes: we also got to meet the ship captain, captain marius


WaterGirl: and we also were informed of something else even on our way there


DragonMaster: its about the whirl cup


WaterGirl: thats right


LivingLegend: what's the whirl cup?


DragonMaster: its a water battle tournament thats held every 3 years in scarlet city on red rock isle, and you need water types to enter, preferable 3 at minimum, or at least pokemon that can live in water, like dhelmehsi for example and pinchurin


DragonMaster: with the winner called the water pokemon alpha-omega, which is said expert water trainers were called that, and not only lived under the sea, they even understood the hearts of water pokemon


SteelRocks: it must connect to the origin of the poeple of the water then who are also said to understand water pokemon, since it sounds like the two are connected


ChosenOne: i guess in the end, it means im not entering the whirl cup, since kakashi is my only water type


WaterGirl: but i am entering, and both elm and marius said its being held in early febuary this year, from the 1st to the 7th cause the cup is a week long event


WaterGirl: which in a way works for us, that way it gives jasmine the personal time she needs and gives us something to do while we wait for her to be ready to battle again


OldTimer: that does work, even though you 3 are cutting it close according to the calander


SquintyEyes: it does, since we should of been informed earlier, but its a good thing we have 2 pokemon currently with that can fly us there to get to it faster, and getting the 3rd sent here


ChosenOne: kakashi is also dissapointed he won't be battling since he's my only water type


DragonMaster: actually he can, just he'll be listed as a borrowed pokemon, just as long as he listens to misty in battle


DragonMaster: and actually misty, your sisters have been in the whirl cup before with all 3 winning in the years each one was in, with the 3 no doubt showing up as special guests, and itll also help you in the long run as gym leader in the long run


WaterGirl: now im determined to win like they did and become the next alpha-omega


LivingLegend: ill let nessa know about this to see if she wants to attend as either a compettitor or a guest


SteelRocks: same with both juan and wallace, with juan being in the battle instead of wallace, since wallace is very strong to the point he has battled me before


MovieStar: ill let siebod know if he would like to be there as a special guest, being elite 4 and all


OldTimer: ill let marlon and cress know if they both want to be there as competitors or as guests


GroundQueen: same with crasher wake as a special guest or competitor


GroundQueen: we should also contact alola to see if any notiable water trainers from there region and geeta to see if kofu the water gym leader would like to be special guest also


SquintyEyes: now this makes me curious if we'll see many water trainers from the regions and more new pokemon, including teraforms, dynamax and gigantamax, and even mega forms


ChosenOne: maybe even a new mega form will be found even or at least seen


ChosenOne: going to be docking now and stopping at the pokemon center to get misty signed up

 



ChosenOne: at the pokemon center with the whirl cup guide book given to us and misty is signed up, with misty letting her water types out into the center pool where tentacruel and corsola are, plus some other water types were there from the other regions for the whirl cup with their trainers, with them being so far just ones already scanned in, but brock and misty are scanning in the ones they dont have yet


ChosenOne: with elm alos telling us theres lots of water trainers in the whirl islands, all the while kakashi joined the water types in that pool for a swim


DragonMaster: to help, there is a map of the islands


SquintyEyes: we saw it and according to the map, red rock isle is 2 islands north from this island, and while we told elm and marius about the pokemon siluete being lugia, those 2 didn't really beleive us, until ash showed them the lugia scanned on her pokedex from the shamouti deal, plus the pictures, which matched the descriptions of the pokemon siluete seen here


GroundQueen: of course it does


WaterGirl: and now the trio just stole the water tpyes in the pool so now we're after them, wit hthe water types attack back


OldTimer: of course your after the trio again

 



ChosenOne: trio dealt with again, and it was the water types who freed themselves


SteelRocks: of course and good on them


WaterGirl: and when we caught up, we saw elm's corsola, the water types from the other trainers, my water ttypes, and kakashi all working together to blast the trio


LivingLegend: thats good and great of that


SwuintyEyes: and now were staying the night at the center to head to the ferry from bluefinland to reach yellow rock isle, with us leaving very early in the morning because we have such a small time-frame

Officially the start of the Whirl Cup Arc and Whirl Islands Arc, and changes start with different pokemon used to keep the three afloat, along with Lugia being recognized given Ash and Misty should of known that was a Lugia in the water. As for that story told about those expert water trainers, given the People of the Water sound similar to them with their own connection to water pokemon, so I went with them being connected. Then another change is when the TRio went to take the pokemon, here it was the water types that took cared of everything and blasted the TRio.

Now I had lots of people commenting on Ash getting a second water type to enter the Whirl Cup, only here, I never intended for her to enter, just Misty to help further herself as a water trainer. And with this for water trainers, there will be different water trainers that make appearances, which I hope when the Whirl Cup happens, its okay with the line-up
