Countless hours had elapsed since anyone had last seen him, but with all the bustling around going on within the cruise ship, no one had the time or attentiveness to notice a single passenger going missing. Zeln could have been doing anything; in the time he’d been left alone he could have planted explosive devices, he could have assaulted a sailor and impersonated a crew member, he could even have taken one of the ships many wealthy passengers as a hostage and holed himself up in one of the many cabin rooms on board....<br/><br/>But instead of engaging in criminal activity that would have made his grandfather and former colleagues proud, he was stuck lying face-down into a pillow in his own cabin, pale-faced and looking as if he’d just returned from the brink of death. A loud graceless groan echoed loudly within the room each and every time the ship seemed to sway even the slightest bit towards either side. Being a luxury cruise liner, and considering the smooth sailing conditions there really wasn’t that much of a sway at all... but during the 21 years of his short life, Zeln had never stepped foot off of a sweet solid land mass, and the fact that he may or may not have gotten a bit too excited on the first day of boarding was also contributing to the buildup of nausea that weighed heavily on his well-being.<br/><br/>Letting out another unsightly groan as the loud boorish sound of the ships horn resonated in the air, the sound itself was bearable... but the sudden rush of many passengers making their way over to the railings to view the upcoming land mass wasn’t. And it took every last fibre of Zeln’s existence to not empty his stomach then and there. Cursing quietly to himself as he attempted to roll over onto his back, it was at that exact moment that Zeln remembered that he wasn’t entirely alone in the room... in fact he wasn’t even alone in the bed. And as his turning body attempted to push off a curled up Sandshrew off one side of the bed, Zeln’s side was met with a rough unfriendly shove. Which caused him to meet the ill-favored fate instead.<br/><br/><em>”Shreeeeeew!”</em>the sandy colored critter hissed unhappily, glaring daringly into Zeln’s agitated ruby gaze for a good few seconds, before curling back up into itself. Unlike Zeln who had enjoyed his first day enjoying the ships facilities, pigging out on food, and chatting up girls. Zeln’s Sandshrew had remained irritably unnerved the whole time. An unsurprising reaction considering how they were surrounded by water on all sides. If Zeln was missing the feeling of rough earthy soil beneath his feet as much as he was, one couldn’t even begin to fathom how much his Sandshrew was missing it.<br/><br/>“You little piece of-” Zeln snapped back angrily from his position on the floor, for a split few moments crimson eyes flared up in outrage as Zeln genuinely considered grabbing the moody little runt and hurling it into the nearest body of water... but upon being met with a cold beady dark gaze that challenged him to<em>’Bring it’</em>Zeln quickly reconsidered and instead settled on the more amicable reaction of picking himself up instead.<br/>”Consider yourself lucky, if I were any other trainer I’d put you in a daycare and never come back for you” Zeln threatened not very intimidatingly. A threat which his Sandshrew somehow seemed to roll its eyes at before curling up into a ball once more.<br/><br/>"Whatever, I’m going out to grab some fresh air, enjoy having the bed to yourself you stupid little mole” Zeln growled, as he grabbed his jacket and slung it over his shoulder, huffing unhappily as he turned his back on his pokemon and waltzed out of the cabin. Judging from the blaring sound of the ships horn earlier, his two days of misery were about to come to an end soon and like many others he could wait to get to Arcaia.
