Description
They ... They was here ! It wasn't just a rumor, their boat was moored at the dock ! He finally found it. Léonard approached it, breathless, the legs trembling. He was exhausted but he didn't care. The boat was huge and impressive, on the bow the symbol of the Explorers was engraved. It was this boat that had crossed the oceans around the world, a true legend.

When the little Eevee looked around, he noticed that there was nobody place behind the boat. Maybe were they all visiting it ? He had to hurry and to find them or he would miss out on the visit !

Immediately, Léonard jumped into the boat, starting to look for the others. It wasn't an easy task, the boat was so huge and there hadn't any noise. More than that, he was obliged to walk because of his exhaustion. It was so frustrating !

Nobody. There were nobody here ! He had crossed half of the vessel without seeing anyone. Where could they be ?

Suddenly, the Eevee remarked a reinforced wooden door. He hadn't notice it before, maybe somebody was in this cabin ? Or maybe there was an access to other parts of the boat ?

He tried to open the door, it was so hard ! It was probably a bit stuck, or maybe it was a really heavy door. His muscles were trembling under the effort, he had already consume a big part of his strength that day, running during a long time. Anyway, in a last impulse, he finally succeeded to open that damn door. Léonard entered in the cabin, proud of his success.

It was really dark because of the lack of a window. He can barely see some boxes aligned against the wall. In the bottom of the room, Léonard discerned a strange shape. It was looking like a trapdoor but because of the lack of light, he wasn't really sure of that.

A thud sounded.

The door was closed.

That was the worst thing possible ! He tried to reopen it but the door was stuck, maybe it was impossible to open it from the inside of the cabin... Well, at least he could try to find an issue passing by the trapdoor. Walking slowly and carefully, the Eevee went to the bottom, where the trapdoor was suppose to be. His paw bumped into a wooden structure. Obviously it wasn't a trap... Maybe an old pictures frame on the ground or something like that but definitely not an issue. Léonard was stuck here. Worse, the door of the cabin was so thick that, even if he screamed, he doubted that anyone could hear him.

Nevertheless, some boxes were exhuming a pleasant smell of fresh berries, also somebody would surely come before they rot, right ?
Léonard lay down on the floor, he was so tired and nobody would come here before probably some hours. So he decided to sleep here, he hadn't nothing else to do in that completely dark cabin.

"Hey ! You ! What are you doing here ?!"

Léonard waked with a start. A furious Espeon were yelling at him. However, half asleep he didn't understand what she was saying him. And it was getting her even madder, that stupid Eevee sitting on the ground looking at her without any reaction.

Suddenly, Léonard felt that the boat was swaying, a lot. A box had fall on the ground, spreading her contained on the floor. It was ... illegal berries ! What ... What was that doing here ? On this boat ?

The Espeon had stop to yell and was speaking with a big Scizor.

She stared at him and growled. "I was looking if the merchandises were alright. And for that one, I don't know, probably a Stowaway... I told you to guard the vessel !"

"I didn't have the choice, I had to follow a Sneasel ! When the rest of the equipage were carrying the disembark boxes, he took the opportunity to stole one ! And it's actually useless to look for the merchandises, I had been inform at the instant that this terrible storm had damaged the hull of the boat we can't stay here !

Victoire gasped "What?! It's just crazy, this storm appeared from nowhere, I even not detect it ? It's so surrealistic!»

"And... What about... me?"

The Scizor and the Espeon instantly look at Léonard. Victoire rolled her eyes. "We leave you here of course."

Léonard was shocked, it's was impossible, he didn't want to die here !

"Well, Captain, it's a bit harsh not? Actually I don't really think that he deserves a fate like that..."

Victoire stared at the Eevee quietly, then after few minutes sighed. "I charge you with the responsibility to keep an eye on him, and I don't want him annoying us, in other ca..."

She didn't have the time to finish her sentence. There have been a terrible shock.

And the boat blew apart.
