Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

On the boundless ocean, a group of large-billed gulls and long-winged gulls soared in the sky, and below them, a giant luxury cruise ship as big as an island was sailing steadily. The two or three meter high waves on the sea seemed to be nothing to this behemoth and did not even hinder its progress.

On the deck of this cruise ship that was as big as several football fields, a young man with gray hair and red clothes was leaning quietly on the railing, listening to the sound of the sea. The only exposed gray eyes were dull, as if he was in a daze, and in his hands he was habitually fiddling with a few cards, looking bored.

[A water bird Pokémon has appeared... There should be a small island near us. Hey, Darko, stop being in a daze! We are almost there!] Latios' voice echoed in Darko's heart, and Darko came back to his senses and looked into the distance. He could indeed see a dark shadow appearing on the sea in the distance. Judging from the convexities and concave depressions on the outline, this should be an island of moderate size.

"We're finally here..." Darko stretched lazily. The destination of their trip was exactly that island, which was also the place where Darko and Latios first met.

The general plan of Darko and his crew on this trip is to relive their original encounter while looking for clues about Latios' missing sister, Latias.

"Tsk, it's only been a short time, how come that island has been transformed into a resort?" Dakodo complained. As it was noon, there was no one else on the deck except Dakodo. They probably went to have lunch or take a nap.

"This is just right. We can still catch this ride." Darkrai said in relief, but the next moment, there was a hint of surprise in his voice, "Wait, why did the sky over there suddenly turn black?"

Dakodo also looked towards the direction of the island, and saw that the sky over there was indeed much darker. Just when he was confused about the situation, his cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Dakodo took out his cell phone to check it.

"The sea area near Seaside City...storms and huge waves?" Darko didn't take this matter to heart. After all, only waves higher than 20m could barely overturn the cruise ship. What's more, the trainers and Pokémon on the cruise ship were not vegetarians. It was just a storm.

Just as Dakoto turned around and wanted to go back into the cabin, his steps suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank sharply, and then he turned around and ran to the edge of the deck, holding the railing tightly with both hands, looking into the distance in disbelief, "That island... disappeared?"

Yes, the island that Dakodo and his companions had seen before had disappeared without a trace. Even the mountains on it could not be found at all. It seemed that they had been submerged under the sea.

[Hey, hey, hey, isn't the sea level over there also much higher than what we saw just now? ] Latios' voice suddenly rose a few notches. The rise in sea level that could be seen with the naked eye was very terrifying.

"Hurry! Latios, go find the captain and tell him the current situation and return immediately!" As soon as Darko finished his words, Latios quickly jumped out of the Poké Ball and disappeared on the spot, while Darko also ran into the cabin.

"Damn...what's going on?" Dakodo cursed inwardly as he ran. The waves in the distance were at least a hundred meters high, in no way inferior to the super-giant tsunami that Kanto and Chengdu had faced during the Reversal Rebellion!

The tsunami was stopped by three Battle Legends and several Champion-level Pokémon, but what about this cruise ship? Not to mention Battle Legends, there is probably only one Champion-level trainer like Darko, so what's the point?

Darko kept running, and at the same time, the huge cruise ship was slowly turning. It seemed that the captain had received the message from Latios, but unfortunately the cruise ship was too large, and it would take a long time to complete the change of direction.

Just when Dakodo was only a dozen meters away from the cabin door, he suddenly found that the sunlight had disappeared. Before he could react, the entire cruise ship was swallowed by the shadow.

Darko raised his head, and what greeted him was a huge raindrop. The raindrop hit the young man's head, causing waves of pain. Darkrai also appeared at this time and opened a black barrier for Darko.

At this time, Dakodo finally saw the scene above his head clearly - it was covered with endless dark clouds, as if it was in the dark night, with thunder roaring, lightning flashing, and heavy rain pouring down, as if the end of the world had come.

"Ah?" Dakodo slowly stopped and heard the "crackling" sound of raindrops hitting the deck around him, but he didn't pay attention to it and looked into the distance.

[Please return to your room immediately if you are on the deck or in the corridor of the cabin, and close the doors and windows! Repeat, please return to your room immediately if you are on the deck or in the corridor of the cabin, and close the doors and windows!]

The sound of the radio sounded, but Dakodo remained unmoved. He just stared quietly at the huge waves in the distance that seemed to be able to swallow the sky, remaining silent.

"How many people can you take with you?" Darko suddenly asked Darkrai beside him.

[……] Darkrai was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, [The dark clouds and tsunami are mixed with primitive power. It is difficult.]

After a pause, Darkrai added, "I can take two, Latios can take one, Garchomp can take about one, and Magneto is not strong enough."

The air fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of rain that sounded like a countdown.

"Come out, Sidoran!" Darko threw out a Poké Ball from his waist. With a flash of red light, the four-legged Sidoran appeared on the deck, and the raindrops hitting him evaporated in an instant with a "patter" sound.

Xiduolan frowned as he felt the water vapor around him, but soon, when he saw the surging waves in the distance, his calm gaze instantly became dull. He widened his eyes in disbelief, but did not take a step back.

He was the birthplace of legend in the collision of time and space, and his incomparable pride does not allow him to take even a single step back!

"Kuo!——" Xiduolan roared passionately, and along with the roar, Dakdo issued a command, "Xiduolan, spit fire!"

Xiduolan raised his head high, and a huge column of fire suddenly burst out. The terrifying high temperature distorted the surrounding air, and in an instant, it cleared thousands of square meters of area where no rain fell.

The column of fire collided with the waves, producing patches of white mist, but compared with the waves that stretched for nearly a thousand miles, this little hindrance had a negligible effect.

[Do you really want to try?] Latios, who had already returned, asked the trainer beside him, who was very familiar with him, a question he already knew the answer to.

"Yeah." Dakoto's eyes were firm.

Then let's go crazy with you... Latios did not respond, but flew out quickly with Darkrai. They wanted to try to buy more time for the cruise ship.
