Battle Aboard the S.S. Anne!

Alright! Once Ash has received the thunder badge from Lt. Surge, the group heads their way to the harbor. Misty squeals as she gleams into the cruises that the harbor provides, one named the S.S. Anne. Of course, the tickets are way too expensive. Suddeness appears as two cute schoolgirls appear right in front of them. One's voice sounding quite odd... but the schoolgirls give Brock, Misty and Ash FREE tickets to the S.S. Anne. They get speechless, but despite their excitement, they dash onto the ship.

Seemingly, Ash and his friends were blind. The schoolgirls were the mischieveous Jessie and James. The team goes to call their boss, having a conversation on failure will NOT be tolerated anymore. Ginnovanni, the boss, has already sent his men out aboard the ship, and later, they will steal all of the Pokemon trainers Pokemon.

Ash is having fun battling a gentleman. His Raticate against Ash's Buttefree. Ash wins the battle, and the gentleman asks if he wants to trade his Raticate for Ash's powerful Butterfree. They do trade, but soon Ash realizes he wants to trade back. Butterfree was his first Pokemon he trained all by himself.

James is wondering around, spotting what interests him. A fisherman bribes him to buy a Magikarp. He explains how Magikarp lay 1000 eggs a time! Sparks fly in James eyes as he takes the deal... not knowing how silly he was...

Meanwhile, while Ash and friends are eating, Ash finally trades back Raticate for good ol' Butterfree. The party clashes as Team Rocket and the full clan attack the ship. Outside, a viscious storm us arupting as well. A full time battle begins as all the trainers send out their remaining Pokemon in battle with Team Rocket. They win. But meanwhile everybody gets saved from the destruction of the boat, Ash and his friends, with Team Rocket Jessie, James and Meowth get stuck in the ship... as they sink lower and lower.....
