"Wow! What a huge picture!" Luffy said in a sing-song voice. They were all staring at the roundabout mural on the ceiling with awe. The mural wasn't completely intact some of it was missing no doubt it had worn down and crumbled over time, just like the rest of the buildings on the island.

"What's it of?" Luffy wondered.

"It looks like some kind of ancient map..." Nami stated staring at it intently, trying to work out what it was about even though it was badly damaged.

"It's too worn out to make any sense of." Sanji said. "But what is this place, anyways?!"

"I think it reveals the location of the Dragon's Nest." Yukiko said. "But it's not this place."

"This has to be the dragons nest!" Apis said desperately.

"Sorry Apis, but seeing that crumbling town only made me even more sure that this place isn't the dragons nest." Tsuna told her sadly. "This island is too small to be the home of both humans and dragons. Not to mention dragons are wild animals, even if they were Dragon Pokemon, there's no way they would nest so close to humans."

"But! But!" Apis trailed off, she couldn't think of anything to counter the trainer's logic. Even Grandpa Ryu said himself that this might not be Lost Island.

"Hey! Look at this!" Luffy exclaimed from where he was stood.

"The ceiling pictures fallen down!" Luffy said.

"-Yikes!" Usopp squeaked.

"-It's huge!" Apis exclaimed.

The slab of rock depicted a large green dragon it was at least three foot wide and about the same height as Luffy.

"Whoa, talk about dangerous!" Usopp spluttered running over with Apis to get a closer look.

"This whole building's ready to fall apart!" Sanji said worriedly looking around at all the holes in the ceiling and the walls. How had it not caved in when they came crashing down he didn't know.

Yukiko had turned her eyes back to the mural on the ceiling, still not putting the pieces together. "What's the matter Nami?" She asked when she heard the orange haired girl gasp. Tsuna followed her line of sight and froze as well. "No way!" Yukiko exclamation caught the attention of the bickering Usopp and Apis and the others.

"What is it?" Sanji asked.

"Yukiko was right all along!" Nami said her voice even. "This probably isn't Lost Island..."

"Huh?!" Apis mumbled.

"See!" Usopp gloated.

'💢' Apis turned around and she hissed at Usopp, her eyes white in anger. "You! Don't even know the reason why! Quit making stuff up!" She kicked him in the shin.

"How do you know that, Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Look up." She told him.

"Up? At the ceiling picture?"

"If you look closely. It's a map that marks the location of lost island." Nami pointed out.

"That island with a dome-shaped building on it..." She paused. "Is the island that we're on now. That dome is this building."

"It does look just like it..." Sanji agreed.

"And the people around the island are the people who once lived here." Nami continued.

"They may have been Apis's ancestors." Yukiko said.

"Our ancestors?" Apis mumbled.

"Say, do you remember what old man Bokuden told us?" Nami asked.

"Nope! I was asleep!" Luffy replied bluntly, completely unashamed.

"I was with Apis." Yukiko said a little embarrassed. After all she'd skipped out of the nice old man's story quite early into it.

"He said that the people of Warship Island came from a distant land and they used that land to worship the Millennial Dragons." Nami clarified.

Usopp muttered. "That would lower the chance of the dragons nest being on this island."

"But...!" Apis exclaimed. "If so, then where's the real one?!"

"Wouldn't it be that island with the dragon on it?" Zoro asked, pointing up at the mural on the ceiling.

Everyone looked up. "That's right!" Yukiko said.

"Look at the island ahead of where this islands people are praying. That's the real Lost Island. The real dragons nest." Yukiko told them she smiled. "Doesn't it look familiar?"

"No way!" Apis gasped. "That island is shaped like...!"

"Yeah." Nami sighed. "Assuming the map is correct......... the nest is on Warship Island."

"But Warship Island doesn't seem like the place dragons would go to nest?" Usopp said frowning.

"But that's what the map says!" Nami exclaimed. "Or are you saying the people long ago just drew random nonsense?!"

"That's right you lot!" Sanji shouted at the men. "Nami-san never say anything that's wrong, same goes for Yuki-chan! This means that it's somewhere on that Island!"

"That may be so. But it could have also sunk to the bottom on the ocean... just like this one is doing." Usopp stated.

"Yeah, I thought the same." Said Nami.

"It would explain why no one's ever found it yet." Zoro added

Apis suddenly ran over to the aging dragon. "Apis?" Usopp called. She ignored him.

"Grandpa Ryu! Think back, Grandpa Ryu! Where is the dragons nest?!" Apis begged. "We thought it was this place, but there's nothing here! There's only a painting, Grandpa Ryu!"

Apis continued. "Doesn't the painting bring back any memories?! Our only hope now is that you remember something, Grandpa Ryu!"

The dragon lifted it's head a little and looked up. Just then, as if trying to help the dragon a flock of the same green birds that looked like miniature versions of the Millennial Dragons flew in through an arched window. They glided across the roof passing over the mural on the ceiling as if they were the dragons from long ago making the journey back to the dragons nest.

That's where they needed to sail, it was as if the final piece of the one thousand year old puzzle had been clicked into place.

"Grandpa Ryu?!" Apis gasped. She glanced at Luffy and caught his eye they both nodded and Yukiko smiled.

"~The dragons nest is on Warship island."

"~Alright!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Well done Grandpa Ryu!" Yukiko smiled.

"Wait, if I'm right. The reason why The nest hasn't been found, Warship Island may be bigger then we think. It may be a unique Tidal island!" Yukiko realized. "If the people that lived here knew the Nest would reemerge soon, they left this island to protect it!"

Nami realized it too. "That could be it! The Dragons Nest had been underwater for a thousand years but it will resurface soon! We gotta hurry!"

"So, let's go! Grandpa Ryu won't get any better if we just stay here!" Luffy yelled raising his arms above his head. "Right?!"

"Right!" Apis echoed happily. "Thank you!"

Then Blaise and Pachi growled as they looked in one direction. Yukiko knew something was wrong. Her head snapped up to the hole they'd fallen through. "Someone's here." She said loud enough for just them to hear.

"And their not even trying to hide their bloodlust." Zoro said just as quiet.

Everyone looked up at the figure the loomed above them. They recognized who it was immediately.

"Thanks for the explanation." Eric chuckled. "Now I know where to find the Dragonite and the dragons nest..."

"You again?!" Luffy shouted.

"The bastard must have followed us." Sanji snarled.

"But there's no point if it's at the bottom of the ocean... so it would seem my only option is to take your Millennial Dragon." He mused.

"No!" Apis screamed at him. "Besides we don't know if their nest is at the bottom of the ocean or not!"

"He said he had the Sickle Sickle Fruit powers, if I recall... that's one nasty guy we've got here..." Sanji said.

"Sickle Sickle Fruit?! He has Devil fruit powers?!" Usopp asked.

"That's right!" Yukiko said as her Pokémon got in to a defensive position. She didn't know when the Sicko was going to launch his attack.

"Luffy! You guys go on ahead and take Grandpa Ryu to the ship!" Zoro said walking forward his eyes never left Eric. He looked at Luffy and smirked. "I'll catch up with you later."

Luffy smiled. "Got it"

"W-w-whoa, now! The ship?!" Usopp spluttered. "We don't even know where the exit is!" His eyes trailed Luffy as he walked over to the wall.

"Then we can just..." Luffy turned on his heel and sprinted in the other direction. "Make one!" He shouted slamming headfirst in to the wall opposite of the wall he was just stood at. There was a bonking sound and Luffy flew backwards.

Everyone stood frozen completely flabbergasted as to why he would do that.

Yukiko couldn't help it and she burst into laughter, she figured he was going to break the wall she just didn't think that he would try to do it with a head butt "Hahaha!... The phrase!... Hahaha!... Use your head!... Hahaha!... isn't to be taken literally... hahaha!" She couldn't help herself she was almost falling over at the ridiculousness of the strawhat boy.

"Huh? I thought that would bust it open, but..."

"Oi...Oi...Oi...Oi...Oi...Oi!" Everyone bar Yukiko who was recovering from her laughing fit chanted as they sweatdropped and stared at the idiot captain with passive looks. They saw rubble fall to the floor right before the wall caved in, but it wasn't the same part that luffy had rammed into- no it was a large chunk of the wall twenty to thirty steps to the right.

Everyone was gobsmacked. "It's open! It's open!" Luffy chanted.

"Luffy... how hard, is your head?!" Yukiko asked in awe.

"Dunno!" Was his reply.

"It worked! It worked!" Luffy sang walking over to the Ryu mobile. "Let's go, Apis!"

"He's less than a caveman..." Sanji muttered.

"Oh, no, you don't!" Eric hissed jumping off the ledge and down towards them. Zoro was on him before he even touched the floor, he slashed and Eric blocked with his claws. It was followed by the sounds of metal clashing with some other object and whipping sounds.

"Dammit, Luffy! Get going already!" Zoro shouted frustrated. Eric had hold of his arms and they were pushing each other back and forth.

"Oh! My bad!" Luffy apologized.

Everyone got on to the cart and Luffy took off through the hole. Then Yukiko screamed when she saw that luffy had led the cart right over a cliff. They fell at blinding speeds before their fall was halted by a huge tree root growing out of the mountain. The halt jerked the cart so badly that Yukiko lost her grip in Grandpa Ryu's feathers and she felt her feet slip out from underneath her.

All of a sudden an arm shot out of nowhere and spun around her tiny waist. She was jerked to the side, then forwards and into the chest of Luffy who was at the front of the cart.

"You've got to hold on tight." Luffy beamed a blinding smile at her that showed off all his white teeth and emphasized his words by pulling her in closer. Her reaction was of course, how any girl would react her cheeks turned rosey red and she mumbled incoherently.

"You sneaky bastard!" Sanji exclaimed from the back of the cart but he didn't want to try his luck at flying at this particular moment in time.

"So fast! So fast!" Luffy said as they rode down.

The next several moments was spent snaking down one root to the other. Yukiko had gotten over her earlier fear once she realized that it was kind of like a roller coaster and she joined Luffy in laughing and smiling. The cart bounced as it rolled over the last root, slamming it into the ground.

"W-w-whoa! We, always make it out alive, don't we?!" Usopp said tears in his eyes. He sounded like he didn't believe his own words.

"This makes going back a cinch!" Luffy said.

"Luffy! You know I could've had Mewtwo send us back to the ship!" Yukiko yelled though she was still laughing.

"But it wouldn't be as fun!"
--------------
After getting away from Eric and Mewtwo getting Zoro back in time, they had to sail back to Warship Island.

Usopp's eye caught sight of the marine ships, they were really far away now. "Look at 'em come! Look at 'em come! They'll never catch up with us!" He said pointing at the ships.

"Anyways we need to get back as fast as we can!" Nami told them. "We don't have time to be messing with the Navy!"

"Nami. It doesn't look like that's going to be an option..." Yukiko's eyes flickered and she turned to face the approaching danger.

Ahead of them was a huge gaudy looking marine ship it had one large mast flanked by two submasts all three of them had the number eight painted on their sails. The figure head was a gigantic gargoyle that funnily enough had a resemblance of a Chinese dragon on its head was two large cannons at the front and a dozen or so smaller cannons around the edge of the ship.

There were about fifty or so ships on either side of the ship with the gargoyle figure head appeared, completely cutting off their escape.

"This is ridiculous!" Yukiko exclaimed.

"Just how many ships does the Navy have?!" Zoro wondered out loud.

To make matters even worse all the ships were connected by huge iron chains, so now they couldn't even slip between the ships.

"What now?! They have us blocked off!" Asked Apis.

"Jump onto the ship, kick the guys off, and cut the links!" Usopp explained a smug look on his face. "That's the only choice, obviously!"

"Wow! You can do that Usopp?!" Apis said impressed.

"Go! Luffy! Zoro! Sanji! Yukiko, charge!" Usopp shouted pointing forward.

"I thought as much." Apis mumbled.

"Guess we have to deal with them anyway. Mewtwo, Blaise, Hielias, Rubius, Petal, time for action!"

Her powerful Pokémon appeared ready to fight, and especially the new ones.

Cue Sparks info.

"Gyarados the Atrocious Pokémon.

Once Gyarados goes on a rampage, its ferociously violent blood doesn't calm until it has burned everything down. There are records of this Pokémon's rampages lasting a whole month. A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind. It fires hyper beams in all directions, burning the surrounding area to ash. There are some regions where it's called "the deity of destruction."

Meganium the Herb Pokémon

The fragrance of Meganium's flower soothes and calms emotions. In battle, this Pokémon gives off more of its becalming scent to blunt the foe's fighting spirit. Its breath has the fantastic ability to revive dead plants and flowers."

Luffy's eyes shone at this info and especially at Rubius.

"Wow! You didn't tell us you had a sea king!"

"Gyarados. And I have two others." Yukiko clarified.

"Make it quick you guys!" Nami ordered.

"All right, everyone! Prepare for battle!" Luffy shouted.

Another chapter done!

Now we'll see Pokémon battle in action!

Bet you can guess the reactions of the marines and the other Strawhats with Rubius!
