"Not to worry" said Jack. "I'll help you hunt down this Poke'mon, then we can restore it back to it's original state."
Jack and Haunter exchanged confused looks as they considered where a Poke'mon like Suicune would run off to. Jack reached into his bag and pulled out the World Map he had stolen and stared at it.
"What about here.." Jack said, pointing to a small island on the map. "It's not exactly close to Team Aqua's hideout.. but it's still and island, which means Suicune might be drawn towards it."
As Jack placed the map away, he considered what had to be done before setting sail to anywhere at all. First he would have to aquire Poliwag back from Shelly, and answer himself one question: "Just what the heck is a Suicune, and how come he'd never heard of one before?"
"I have some work to attend to on land before I go anywhere Maximus. I'll be back shortly."
With that, Haunter produced yet another powerful Night Shade, which flew from the ships deck towards the beach, from which Haunter and Jack both emerged.

The Aqua members on the beach seem to be worn out and tired, but none are seriously wounded. As stated before, the hideout itself is inaccessable due to a landslide of rocks that cascaded down the mountain and covered the entrance. Shelly has been busy organizing the grunts into salvaging what they still had and making ready to head for the Beta site, also known as Hideout Cove which is located north of Mossdeep. Shelly turns and gives a nod to Jack, "Well, it seems you managed to get the bombardment to end. Good work on that...I'd reward you, but that will have to wait until we get to the cove."

"They only stopped because that Shadow Poke'mon managed to escape.." said Jack.
It was then Jack suddenly remembered that he had pointed Maximus towards Mossdeep City on his map. He hadn't known that Team Aqua had a hideout near there.
"You might want to watch out for the Black Ho oh on your way to Mossdeep.. I heard them talking about heading there as well.. so they can track down that Shadow Poke'mon."
As Jack spoke, one of the Poke'ball's Shelly had on her belt began to glow and float away from her and into Jack's hands.
"After thinking it through.. I'll be taking my Poliwag back for the time being. I might need it."
Jack moved his attention towards the sealed entry of the Aqua hideout and frowned. If the Poke'ball Jack had heard of before was in there, he'd have no way to access it for now.
"So.. how do we get to the cove near Mossdeep City?" asked Jack.

Shelly gives a small pout, "But that Poliwag is so cute! and fast too. Oh well, maybe I'll get one someday." She shakes her head before returning to the true converstaion, "There are a group of rocks and a house in the middle of nowhere about 2 hours to the east of here. You head north from there and eventually you'll come across a decent sized island. It's hard to see the entrance from land, but once you get on the island and into the trees, it's easy to find the hideout entrance. However, watch out for Sharpedo in the surrounding water."

Jack placed Poliwag's Poke'ball back into his bag and continued his conversation,
"I've got a better idea." said Jack. "You gather whatever Team Aqua members are around here and get them safely to the cove, and I'll stick to the Black Ho oh. I might be able to lead them farther away from the cove and towards the other side of Mossdeep."
Jack figured that this way, the Team Aqua members would have some time to recover from the previous attack and prepare for yet another. However, the issue of Suicine still remained.
"Shelly, if it's not too much to ask.. just what is this Suicine I'm hearing so much about?" asked Jack.

Shelly nods at the comment about the Black Ho-oh, "Very well, if you think you can do so without getting into trouble. We won't be able to contact you while you are there." When she hears the question about Suicune she gives a small frown and then sighs, "Suicune is a water cat pokemon from the Johto region. It is a master of water attacks and can run along water as easily as land. Some say the pokemon is divine, however recent reports cite the pokemon as merely being exceedingly rare to the point of Legendary, but not one-of-a-kind."

Jack gave a fiendish smile upon hearing this about Suicine.
"Exceedingly rare Water Pokemon? Sounds like a nice addition to any team.." Jack thought to himself.
Haunter gave Jack a few taps on the shoulder before he managed to step out of the trance that the rare Poke'mon had on him. Turning back towards the Black Ho oh ship, Jack finished his conversation with Shelly.
"Thanks for the information.. I'll meet you at the cove near Mossdeep as soon as I can."
As Jack spoke, he and Haunter quickly faded and reappeared aboard the Black Ho oh once more.

By now, the Black Ho-oh had turned and the other sail of the ship was in the process of being raised to depart. For his part, Maximus is at the helm of the ship giving commands to the crew and the pokemon that seem to have jobs as well. His commanding voice raises over the surf and din of the crew. "Come on you lilly-livered scoundrels! The longer we tarry the further Suicune can get. The sea itself blessed Suicune and we'll be like sea slugs if we don't catch Suicune while it rests!"

Jack and Haunter headed towards the helm of the ship and towards Maximus as he shouted commands to the rest of the crew.
"Greetings once again Maximus." said Jack. "My sources on land inform me that Suicine will be sticking towards the southern part of Mossdeep city if it decides to make rest there."

Maximus gives a nod and turns to the crew, "We've got our heading, open the sail and ready yerself for a trip to Mossdeep. We be startin' our search there!" He turns back to Jack, "I don't be expecting Suicune to stay there long if he's even there. Mossdeep be a civilized area and Suicune prefers more uninhabited areas, but the isle is the closest to here. Do ye be needing anything?"

"No.. I think I'm set for the time being Maximus." replied Jack. "Just get this thing to Mossdeep city as fast as you possibly can."
Jack didn't know how fast the Black Ho oh ship went, but he already knew it wouldn't be able to match the speed of the Suicune he had seen before.

The sails turn to take in the wind, sending the sleek craft skimming over the water at a speed that would be close to most modern boats, though this one looked to be built like much older boats. "Aye then, we'll be there in about an hour, weather permitting of course. The sea waits for no man and care not for men's business." Indeed, in about an hour the lookout will shout, "Land Ho Cap'n! Mossdeep straight ahead." Maximus will give a grin, "Aye, then me and our new friend will be disembarking to look. I want ye scallywags to be ready to leave the moment we return."

Upon the ship's landing, Jack jumped from the deck and onto the shores of Mossdeep City and looked around curiously at the city, Haunter by his side.
"No sign of that Shadow Poke'mon yet.. Haunter, do me a favor and explore the island. If you find anything, report back to me and Maximus at once." said Jack.

Haunter will disappear to search the island while you and Maximus take the boat out and head for the shore. On the shoreline, you can see two martial artists practicing in the surf, an off sight for someplace like Mossdeep which seems to blossom with psychic energy.

As the giant ship nears the shores of Mossdeep, Jack takes a moment to appreciate the amount of energy that appears to be radiating from the island. After a few moments of silence, Jack finally speaks again, "I think I'm going to like this place."
Once again shifting his attention, Jack notices the two men practicing on the beach.
"Hmph. I suppose some people aren'y cut out for this place."
