OOC: Kay. This RP was by invite only, sooooo... if you didn't get an invite it doesn't mean I don't love you; it just means I don't love you enough to let you in. =) (Zacky is the only exception, as I need a constant source of hatred towards my person to stay healhty~)

Lilycove was a vacation hotspot around this time of year. The sun was always shining, making the weather blissfully warm and the water refreshingly cool. The streets bustled with tourists, enjoying whatever time they had off from work and daily routines.
Sem Aquais strode casually by the docks, enjoying the invigorating scent of the sea. The boy was eighteen, though could pass for being a couple years younger, given his below average height of 5' 5". He had dark hair, which was short in the back and longer in the front with a silvery-gray streak on his fringe. His skin was a warm bronze color, and one of his eyes was an aqua-blue while his right was a pale white due to blindness. He wore a light, short-sleeved hoodie un-zipped with a sky-blue shirt underneath with a black leafy-vine pattern and a silvery under-pattern. On his legs were coal-gray cargo shorts with an assortment of zippered-pockets while on his feet he wore a pair of flat-soled skater-shoes with white outsoles and black leathery tops and laces; his socks didn't go past his ankles and weren't all that noticeable. Around his neck he wore a pendant shaped like a raindrop, it was blue-tinted with sapphire-colored liquid inside.
"We need something[ to do…" the teen murmured to the purple creature on his right shoulder, gems covered its gremlin like body. The sableye mere flashed a smile in response.
Eventually he settled on standing in line at a stall for a bite to eat. The food didn't look particularly amazing, but he was a bit hungry and it was something to do. He simply observed the people around him, listening to bits of conversation.
"I swear, there's this Sinnoh-girl that frequents the public arenas," said another teen that was ahead of Sem in line. "She has this freaky gardevoir and battles like a pro. Thing is though, she doesn't even battle with the gardevoir; it's always with something else."
"I would like a battle…" Sem thought offhandedly as he moved a space up in line. It was his turn to order and he got a generic cheeseburger with a soft drink, which he ate as he walked. He found himself walking along a row of boats after he had finished the burger and was now left with sipping at his lemonade.
"Hey, you!" beckoned a man as Sem walked past.
Stopping, he turned on his heel and raised his eyebrows slightly at the man, who was a big large with slacks and a Hawaiian-styled button-up shirt. His hair line was receded and he hadn't shaved recently. "Yes?" Sem replied.
"You look pretty bored there, kid; can I interest you in some excitement?" he said quickly, expression of his eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.
"Err-" Sem uttered, taking a step back.
"Here I have a ticket," he continued, holding up said ticket. "For a small price you could board a ship," he leaned in and whispered enthusiastically. "Destination: unknown."
Sem raised an eyebrow, Sableye cackled.
"Exciting isn't it?" the man continued, not deterred by the obvious criticism he faced. "It's a ticket to adventure I'm offering you! It's not like you have anything better to do, right?"
The teen considered his options. It was true that he had nothing better to do; he was in Lilycove simply for the sake of being in Lilycove, and even though he knew this could only be some kind of scam, there was something intriguing about the offer. The amount the guy was asking for the ticket really wasn't too much, totally worth it, especially if the trip proved interesting. Then he took in the idea that the man could have malevolent intentions, but if that were true he would likely go after people who weren't obviously pokémon trainers.
The boy shrugged. "Why not?"
"Excellent!" he practically vibrated with joy as he exchanged the ticket for the money. "You won't be sorry!"
"I bet I won't…" Sem murmured. After receiving the location of the ship Sem made his way directly there.
-------
The boy found himself standing before a ship about the size of a medium sized fishing troller. The white paint was a bit worn and it looked creaky, but otherwise stable. He looked around, seeing if any of the crew members were around. One this trips surprises was probably going be that he, along with anyone else who walked into this, were going to be the crew.
He was a bit unsurprised to see the man from before walking towards him, only this time with a captains hat on his head, which totally unsurprised Sem.
"Good news, kid," the man started. "Got some more people to come on this voyage." He took Sem's ticket and tossed it out onto the water before getting onto the ship, beckoning Sem to follow.
The boy was told that he could place his belongings below deck, which he did before returning up to the top deck. He sat on the rail as he waited for the others to arrive. The weather was perfectly fair as it reached about 1pm in the afternoon, a good day for boating at any rate.
During the course of half an hour a small band of people showed up for their 'ticket to adventure.' One of whom, Sem was surprised to recognize.
"Hey, Burlane!" he waved at the older trainer. "You bored too?" Sem joked as he went to shake the young man's hand.
