Gible used Dig again to avoid slamming into Grubbin. As Grubbin flew towards Alkaia, the two battles became one. Grubbin used String Shot on Alkaia, and followed up with Spark. Gible came out of the ground and hit Wolfa with Dig. The two brothers smiled as their Pokémon fought.
“We are about to arrive at the Archipelago,” Kaleb said, looking down at his GPS. He and Luke returned their starters. “We can finish this battle later, but for now, we need to get our stuff.”
The ship suddenly lurched, and tipped sideways. Gible and Luke fell into the water, followed by Grubbin. Kaleb slammed into the railing, but held on with one hand. People were falling off the boat left and right. He saw JC, and then Ron, and Wolfa hanging on. He didn’t see Alkaia, Tes, or Duskull anywhere. Kaleb held on for his life.
Luke swam through the water and found Grubbin. He returned him, and soon found Gible. He protected Gible, and swam to the ship, only for it to tip upside down. Everybody fell.
The waves crashed as people began to wash to the shore of the islands. Luke woke up. He saw Alkaia, then Tes and JC, then Gible and Ron, then Kaleb, then Wolfa, and lastly, Duskull. Grubbin was still in his pokeball. Everybody was unconscious.
Luke woke Kaleb. “The ship sank,” he said. “I fell into the water.”
“I know,” Kaleb replied. “I held onto the railing to keep myself from falling. I saw you and Gible fall.” Kaleb walked over to JC and Tes and began to wake everybody.
