  He was wondering the same thing. Only circumstances were different in his case. Tied up below the deck of his ship were several incapacitated grunts that attempted to wrest ownership of it from him. Having Pokemon aboard that could force people to sleep were indispensable for situations like that.

  “Business is what you could call it, I suppose. Because when a couple grunts come aboard and try to take over my vessel, what happens here becomes my business.” And now he had leverage.

  “I’ll be frank; I’m not here to pummel through all the personnel, cause major problems, or to shut down whatever is going on. That’s a job for somebody that cares. My only concern is the sole person who gave the okay for the attempted theft of my ship. I’m going to find them, we’re going to have a civilized discussion or said crew mate will leave them comatose, and I’m going to leave.”

  Beyond a potential reckoning with a single person, he had no intention to stir the pot.

  The Alola region. Truthfully, this was the only region that he didn’t enjoy visiting. The reasons were numerous, ranging from petty to justifiable and everything in-between, though the amount of money he could make in the region by acting as a private ferry between the islands made visiting almost worth it. Almost. It was Konikoni’s incense market that always drove him to return. Buying them cheap here and selling them across the seas was an importing racket that paid incredibly well. Alongside the ferry business, it was more than enough to live off of for some time... when he wasn’t traveling on land, that is.

  The sailor lifted himself from the railing of his vessel as he overheard footsteps ascend up the boarding plank, the aquatic Pokemon he’d been feeding below scattering with audible splashes as soles rhythmically banged against the metal ramp. No doubt in his mind that it was a visitor.

𝐎𝐂 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐒!

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?

None in human form (that he's aware of), but he's very sensitive to bright lights and loud sounds due to his aura sensitivity.

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?

His own ego. Ikki's smart enough to recognize dangerous situations (he has billions of years of experience, after all), but will often abandon all caution and charge headfirst into certain danger only to prove he can get away with it.

After all, one of the cornerstones of his identity is his apparent invincibility. If he's not tough enough to make it through any situation unharmed, then he's not as free as he'd like to be.

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

The real answer is that he wants so many things that he wouldn't be able to narrow it down to just one and would end up not even making a wish at all

He does, however, want to switch places with Arceus so he can do a better job than them at maintaining the universe.

  “A water-type Pokemon that bands together with more of its kind to become larger and more dangerous... I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen these little guys off the side of my ship as I sailed between the islands. I’ve even spotted them off the shores of my island. Beyond that... I can’t say I know much about them.”

  Even so... it could be potentially useful. Not so much in Sinnoh or other regions due to the distinct lack of Wishiwashi, but it could potentially be an invaluable ally. Even its range of help was relegated to schooling up with others and terrifying other ‘mon like Sharpedo away from his vessel if the stories were true.

  First offered to the little fish ‘mon was a mild poffin, and the Captain followed up with a run-of-the-mill Pokeball. It was quick to press the button on the capture device.

  The wayfaring man squatted down to match the height of the little red-and-white bird. He almost wanted to stick his hands beneath its wings and lift it like he did with his Chimchar. Almost. Hard not to when it looked like a living plushie.

  “I’ve heard about these cute little guys. Enough to know that their Pokedex entries are truthful. They’re like the Chansey of the mountains. Tons of people talk about how they’ve saved people by sharing whatever food they have despite them collecting the food for their families originally. As nice as it sounds to have an ice-flying ‘mon aboard... it’d just sit around on my ship with nothing to do. No role to fill. Plus, I don’t think it’d do well on my island unless it stuck around the iceberg. And I usually bring it with.”

  It was a pass from him. But... he wasn’t about to let it leave empty-handed. Captain Eldridge reached into his bag to retrieve his poffin case, pulling out a few of the golden yellow pastries before handing them off to the Delibird and sending it on its merry way.

     For a moment, she finds herself at a loss for words, heart clashing with a mix emotions. On one hand, there is a kind of adoration she feels-- a deep-rooted kind of love for ghost-type pokemon--, yet on the other, the slightest sense of unease. This pokemon, they freeze humans and pokemon they like solid, right? Or so it is detailed in the pokedex, even if it conflicts with the same statement applying to their prey. Yet the way this Froslass looks at her-- no, she means no harm.

          “...You really think she would want to join me?”

     Ghost-type pokemon. Another being who would live until the end of time. Perhaps then, she thinks, it would be beneifical for them both-- to make an eternity a little less lonely. And that face she is making--is Serena just imagining it, or is there a sense of knowing coming from her?

          “Well... I would be honoured.

     Froslass was caught!
