The world used to be normal. It’s now 2050. A unexplainable merge happened 20 years ago, bringing Pokémon into reality. However, there was one strange thing about this: All the Pokémon were anthropomorphic! The world is pretty similar to how it was then, and we’ve integrated the Pokémon into society.

Now to get back on track.

You’ve just won a luxury cruise ticket from a raffle. Lucky you! You pack your bags and board the cruise liner later that week. Your oceanic vacation goes perfectly for the first few days, but during the dawn of the 4th day, the skies become an ominous mix of pink, red, and black. The ship slowly comes to a halt, stranded in the middle of the Atlantic.

Things seem to calm down for a minute… Before a cluster of crimson tentacles emerge from the depths, wrapping around the boat. Rising from the water on the starboard side is a colossal dynamaxed Octillery, her indifferent gaze scanning every inch of the ship.

“How quaint. These little ones thought they could pass through my territory without any complications. Unfortunately, I’m not in the mood for guests… Nor am I in the mood for pests.”

She reaches her tentacles through the ship’s halls, gathering nearly every passenger and placing them all on the top deck.

“Let’s see… 2,746 little nuisances on this pathetic vessel. I’ll give you all an opportunity for survival. If at least one you can please me, I’ll let you go free. However, if none of you succeed…”

Her powerful tentacles tighten around the hull, causing a loud concerning creak.

“You’ll all be joining me for dinner on the ocean floor… And you’ll be the only things on the menu.”
