The sea expanded far and wide. He wanted to reach out and take hold of all the horizon had to offer, but he was too weak.<br/><br/>Golden eyes reflected off the sun’s brilliant rays. Weak as he was, he rose to the top of the ship the moment he boarded. Overlooking the railing he saw lives from all across the globe; each with their own goals and desires. A smirk crossed his face. None of them were prepared for him. While his hands may not be able to grasp the ocean, they could most certainly hold power over those beneath him. Even if he couldn’t defeat them all today, tomorrow he would be reborn anew. There were other trainers here as well. They held his attention more than the common folk. These were the people who would directly cross his path to complete domination. Whether they be rivals or stepping stones, eventually, he would have to overcome each and every one of them in order to claim his birthright. It was a lonely road to travel. This was apparent by the groups of trainers clustered together. Daiki was no stranger to solitude. Much of his life he spent in the shadow of others who looked down upon him. But this wouldn’t always be the case.<br/><br/><strong>“Dile!”</strong><br/><br/>The trainer had his back to the railing of the 3rd stern deck. With his arms anchoring him, he removed his gaze from the vast ocean he left behind and glanced down at the trembling crock clinging to his pant leg. He smiled. It was a small, unconscious twitch of muscle that rarely formed on his otherwise scowling countenance, and it lasted for only a minute before his lips parted.<strong> “What’s wrong now, Totodile?”</strong>His voice was like an annoyed older brother who was stuck with babysitting duty.<br/><br/><strong>“Totodile! Toto! To!”</strong>Its gargled voice mixed with anxiety as it pointed to the sea below with one trembling claw.<br/><br/>Its trainer, Daiki, leaned his head back casually to spy deep shadows roving beneath the sea around the large boat.<strong>“Ha!”</strong>He barked, startling his Pokemon.<strong>“You’re afraid of those little guppies all the way down there?!”</strong>With a toothy grin he confidently shouted.<strong>“They could only dream of being as high up as you are right now!”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Toto?”</strong>Totodile looked confusedly at the towering Human.<br/><br/>Daiki continued.<strong>“You’re <em>MY</em> Pokemon, Totodile, which automatically puts you above any other Pokemon. You’re in a class all on your own. You think you’re afraid of them? Ha! Those cowards down there are beneath you, swimming in <em>your</em> shadow! Remember that!”</strong><br/><br/>With his mention, Totodile glanced back across the water. In a poetic twist, it seemed his shadow did stretch out to the sea below; a shadow which those beneath him truly swam behind.<br/><br/><strong>“Besides, you’re a Big Brother now.”</strong>The trainer spoke with a large grin and a thumbs up.<strong>“You gotta be brave for the little guy, remember?”</strong><br/><br/>Totodile paused for a moment to reflect on the Human’s words. A confident spark flashed across its face. It jumped with cheer.<strong>“Dile!”</strong>Totodile turned to the left, then spun around to the right.<strong>“Toto…? Dile?”</strong>It looked nervously around its trainer’s feet as though it lost a prized possession.<br/><br/>Daiki caught on to this.<strong>“What’s wrong Toto…?”</strong>Immediately the realization hit him that the littlest of their group was missing. The color drained from Daiki’s face.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>(https://i.ibb.co/jG3LXjd/0b058447222626a1455c737487f2154f59ed4214-hq.jpg)<br/><br/>Snorunt was on an adventure of its own today.<strong>“Sno! Sno! Sno! Sno!”</strong>Its peppy body waddled through the crowds of people aboard the ship. About the size of the average person’s foot, it didn’t seem phased by the danger of potentially being stepped on, or stuffed in someone’s purse. The entire journey, Snorunt’s excitement could not be contained. There were so many new faces. So many new creatures. It wanted to see everything. And it could! At the top of the ship where its Human brought it, Snorunt could see everything for miles and miles! It was the happiest it had ever been in its young life! More surprises happened as well! The entire trip a bright light would flash somewhere and attract its attention. Every time it saw the light, it would try to let its Human know, but the light always disappeared before he saw it. This finally came to an end when Snorunt saw the light again. This time, it was close! Snorunt would not let it escape.<strong>“Snooo!”</strong>Happily, it bounced off after the light.<br/><br/>Successfully, it navigated the sea of strangers to find the source of the light. It was another Pokemon!<strong>“Snoo! Sno! Sno! Sno!”</strong>It was blue and black, with sparkly eyes and ears! Snorunt called out to its new friend. It was so high up with its Human holding it, Snorunt wondered if it could even hear him. That’s right! He just needed HIS Human to pick him up.<strong>“Sno!”</strong>Snorunt turned and looked behind itself.<strong>“Sno?”</strong>He looked left and right. Concern filled its tiny face when the familiar blue hair escaped its view.<strong>“Sno? Sno?”</strong>Anxiety quickly swept in. Its owner was lost! Tears bubbled in the tiny Pokemon’s eyes not knowing where to go. It stepped backward, bumping into the leg of the Human that carried the other Pokemon. Snorunt hardly noticed. It sat down on the floor, still calling out helplessly for its trainer.<strong>“Sno! Sno!”</strong><br/>
