*Alright the moment you have been waiting for Sand and Tides!!!

The island of cinnibar, a bustling port city. the docks are full of people and pokemon. there is trading of good going on, ships unloading there cargo, children running about the cobble stone streets. In port there are 4 gallons, the reaver, the cutter, the ship, and the wraith. A young man with vivid blue hair is being thrown of a ship for being a stowaway. captain/ DONT EVER STEP FOOT ON MY BLOODY SHIP AGAIN YOU LITTLE BLUE HIRED MAGGOT!!

A red hair lady is walking gracefully through out the streets with a helm under her arms. she doesnt seem to be paying attention to the hussle and bussle of daily life.

on the street corner near the ships a juggler is entertaining the local youths and fencing money from unsuspecting bystanders as the children laugh and point to him as he runs a game that involves picking the shell that a stone is under

in a tavern we find a regal looking man having a drink and making conversation about nothing in particular with a few of the other costumers.

on the edge of the port there is a figure looking at the events as they transpire. a grin crosses his face.

((Before the group set off))

Victoria frowned at the "Captain's" suggested price range. Splitting a portion of nothing was still nothing, after all, but he seemed steadfast in his assertion that they all play fair. She knew no meaning of that word, nor did the world, but she would only need convince him down the road to make it worth her while to chase fairy tales. She turned her frown upside-down into a sly, narrow-eyed smirk at the man before responding,
"We'll talk on the way."

"You talk a lot, but what do you really know about this event or the treasure. I don't see how a shell woman would be helpful." Victoria's grin nearly faltered at the woman's comment, but held true. Not that her eyes conveyed such. Oh no, her eyes stared daggers at the knight, and of course it would be the knight. Victoria may be a con woman, a liar, and a thief, but she found it much worse to be the hypocrite that most so-called "crusaders of justice" fancied themselves. She took a moment to glare at her, smiling venomously before she opened her mouth to speak.
"Yes yes, I'm certain that you lot shall be fine in the deep and dangerous caves of Mt. Magmos. I mean, you have a Zubat to guide you, yes? But oh no! How will you yourselves find your way through the darkness, lest you spend countless hours bumping your heads and stumbling over rocks and fighting what you cannot see?" Vicky's words dripped with sarcasm as she feigned being concerned, and as she pulled her mocking act she dug into her belt for a different apricorn ball. It casually rolled from her hand, setting forth a small Magby.
"Now if only there were some way, a Pokemon perhaps, that could bring light to darkness? Perhaps one native to the region and accustomed to fiery environments..." Before the Magby could have ample time to even respond to its surroundings, it was recalled back to its ball, and Victoria looked to the troupe with a more serious expression.

"And I assure you I possess more skills than simply my Pokemon," she gloated, "For instance, I've overheard you lot talk of making your way to the caves to search for this bounty, and how no man living has ever returned. And I see you've made your plans to set off yet no plans on how you will return..." Victoria clapped her hands playfully and gave everyone a wide grin.
"So! Let us engage in a game for a moment, going 'round the circle. If it ever crossed your mind to bring a rope to mark the way back, paint to mark the walls where you have been, and parchment to draw a map so that you do not become lost in the depths of which no living man has returned, raise your hand!" Exuberantly, insultingly so, Victoria raised her hand, casting her gaze around the rest of the group. She did not expect any other raised hands.

As the crew is headed towards the volcano their is a roar from somewhere in the jungle that sounds like thunder! Towards the right hand side of the forest a hyper beam strikes near the edge of the jungle from somewhere near the castle it, The resulting blast shakes the ground like an earthquake. Above the trees a giant dragonite is flapping his wings his eyes glowing blue. The sky above him is turning black as drak clouds start to circle around him. Lighting seems to be coming off of the mass of clouds. From the center of the clouds a giant mass of ice and earth cloaked in unstable energy comes crashing towards the earth. As it hits the ground a crater a half mile wide. The resulting crash sends Victoria flying into the jungle away from the group, the captain is hurtled towards the edge of the volcano, the tracker and knight are sent careening into the ocean.

Trinidad seeing the mentor hit the island and feeling the quakes heads towards the volcano hoping to meet up anyone from the group.

As I feel a drop in the temperature and pressure I look up towards the sky. I see a giant enraged dragonite causing ruin and destruction. "what is going on?!" Seeing a giant mentor being pulled forward From the heaven's and catering towards the earth. I look at caden and ask him "do you know what's happening?" "No i have no idea" caden replys. I hit the ground as the meteor hits and starts rocking the island. I see the shell game women hurtling to somewhere further into the forest. I take off in her direction hoping she is ok. In the name of mew what was her name again! Valerie? No that wasn't right... Velma? No...Victoria!! That was it. I keep headed further into the jungle. she had to have been near the mentor strike as I saw her flying from that blast. "Victoria!!" I start yelling out. I throw out pichu's ball pichu "come on and help look!! Victoria!!" I call again as I push through the jungle underbrush. "Victoria!!" Pichu is looking around jumping around the jungle. "Pichu!!! Pi!!"

With some resistance, she managed to go along with the group. Rudeness aside, couldn't they just recognize something that they desperately needed when they saw it? Like an actual plan? Or someone capable of coming up with said plan? Then again, who was she to expect anything different? Vicky made money off of these rubes for exactly what they were doing. Usually not this much opposition, though. Most people were content to get scammed and hand over their money. But hey, it wasn't like she was scamming them this time. This was honest work! And it'd pay out a whole lot better than lava rocks and a sweaty brow if she could persuade the "captain" to just give her a share up front instead of laughing it off when they eventually didn't find anything because there was no treasure. Rumors and wishes was all it was! Victoria spit at the thought. It left a bad taste in her mouth, working pro bono. She'd promised herself when she eventually got her nimble little fingers on enough to live on, she'd never work another day in her life. Vicky spent the majority of her walk up with the group trying (unsuccessfully) to convince "Captain" Black to give her some gold in exchange for her entire "share of the bounty" and sighing quite obnoxiously.

Until, that is, the sound of splintering wood and crashing trees, the shaking of earth, and the fires of Death caught her attention. Some kind of... some kind of laser fired from the sky. And that's when she caught sight of it. Large, menacing, keeping aloft on the leathery wings of destruction, a gigantic beast of a dragon with eyes glowing of ghost's fire. Vicky was stunned speechless at its sudden appearance, hardly noticing the gathering maelstrom that came with its bellowing cry. But she did notice what was penetrating the clouds. A mammoth ball of demise with her name on it came crashing down in flames. Vicky nearly didn't have time to throw up her arms to protect her face before the shock of impact catapulted her backward, screaming and tumbling through the air. She was spinning, twirling, tumbling through the sky... and then through branches and leaves until she came to a sudden violent stop on the ground below. Worked wonders on her stomach, and she threw up in her mouth a little. Groaning and coughing a little, covered in dirt and twigs, Victoria laboriously brought herself to her feet, standing on shaking knees. She took a look at her surroundings, the fog of what had just happened still gripping her mind. She felt pain, smelled the burning smoke, her vision blurred. She stayed this way, swaying on unsteady feet until a call for her name brought her out of her reverie.
"Victoria!! Victoria!!" It sounded so far away. Vicky shook her head to purge the ringing from her ears and opened her mouth to answer.

"Yea- ... *hack hack* Yeah! I'm right here!" she croaked, choking on her words. She couldn't know who it was, but it didn't matter. Someone was better than no one, and she was in no condition to go looking. Vicky slowly lowered herself back to the ground and propped herself up against a tree, putting her head in her hands. Well, if there was clearer signal for her to get off of Cinnabar Island... outside of the towns kicking her out of course, she couldn't find one. Nope. Nuh-uh. Not for all the gold in all the sunken ships on the ocean floor would she fight something that can put a landmark in the countryside without even trying.

As Vicky calls out weakly to the voice in the distance not far away something hears her and starts heading towards here very quietly. Moving towards her thinking about a very easy meal.

A wild meowth sees Vicky still trying to collect herself from the shock and fall.
Sensing an easy prey he sneaks up behind her and uses bite on her exposed leg!

As I continue searching for Victoria in the direction of the crash I keep calling out "Victoria!! Victoria!!!" I keep moving in the direction that I heard the crash from. Pichu is starting to jump up and down "pichu! Pi! Pi!" Ok buddy I'm coming I'm coming! I start running towards pichu. (perception check [result]9&4:5,2d6,0,9&2d6[/result] )

Vicky snarled at the cat, the pain shooting up her shin, causing her leg to throb. He'd bitten her good! Nearly to the bone! Crimson ran down her leg from the rip in her trousers and the gash on her leg, throbbing and smarting something fierce. But naturally her instincts kicked in to save her hide, as they often did. She had poisoned the wild Pokemon, and was unphased at the fact that it could speak. Not that a speaking Pokemon was ordinary, quite the opposite. It was actually quite impressive. No, it was only that she had nearly been obliterated by a falling rock, thrown into the jungle to Arceus-knew-where, and now she was being attacked and her leg was hurting and she didn't roll out of bed to deal with this today.

But Victoria was nothing if not a woman of opportunity. Meowth's fetched high prices, seen as good luck symbols because of the coins on their foreheads, and a talking one would net her top dollar. It wasn't personal, just business is all, and she wasn't one to be overcome so brutally by rage that she would let her meal ticket burn to a crisp. As she scrambled to move behind the Meowth, she recalled Kamehameha to his ball and threw down Rascal in his place, attempting to box him in.
"Serves you right!" she barked, "I've had enough of all this! First the people, then the comet, and now this!?" As she shouted at the Meowth, Vicky dug into her backpack for her net to snare the stubborn Pokemon.
"You know what? I'm just trying to eat, too. And I'm going to eat very well for what you sell at market- Rascal! Blind it!" At her command, her Eevee yipped and spun his tiny body around, kicking his hind legs up to jettison sand into the Pokemon's eyes. A smirk pulled at Victoria's lips. She could hear the clinking of gold coins far off in the clouds.

The meowth groans in pain come on lady! That hurts! Can't we come to some sort of arrangement?! We could work together the meowth crys out in sever pain before he faints.
