My story

Spoiler:

I wake up, and the first thing I notice is I can't feel anything. I see the sky above me, a beautiful deep blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds. Yet for some reason I can't feel the sun's warmth. Wondering where I am, I try to move to try and get a better look at my surroundings, but my limbs do not respond. Suddenly, I hear a gust of wind, followed by the roar of a wave, and the next thing I know I'm underwater. It is at this moment that I remember... I was at a cruise... there were people with their Pokemon... everyone was having a pleasant time... I was with a few friends... then there was a storm. Last thing I remember was falling into the water as the ship was knocked over by a massive wave. I am amazed at having survived something like that, but how long was I out for? Where's everyone else? I try to swim to the surface but once again my limbs don't obey me and I begin to panic. I try to thrash and flail and scream, but I can't even open my mouth. What's going on?! Why can't I move my body?! I'm going to drown! Please, I don't want to die! Help! Somebody help me! ...Nobody is coming. No one can hear me... and I still can't move...

After what seems like an eternity of vainly trying to kick and scream, I finally give in. No matter what I do I can't prevent the sea current from carrying me away. Then I realize that I've spent a long time underwater and yet I have not drowned. This only increases my confusion, because I am no sea-dwelling Pokemon, so I cannot and should not be able to breathe underwater. As I'm pondering this, I suddenly notice that the currents have taken me to a sunken ship, which at first I think to be the cruise I was riding on before this whole mess occurred, but as I get closer I realize that this ship is not the same one, as this one is much more ancient. Strangely, I feel a tinge of excitement as I get closer, and I can almost swear that I can finally move on my own. Though not with limbs, I just sort of... float towards my destination.

I need a body I can move I think to myself This wreck is bound to have something I can use.

I notice the ship's steering wheel, which has a compass lying on top of it, and drift towards it. I confidently and instinctively wrap my tendrils around the wheel and the compass, binding myself to them. Suddenly, I feel much better. But I still feel like my new body is missing something, but what?

Then, I notice the ship's anchor, lying further away. Perfect! I drift towards it once again, and use my tendrils to attach it to the steering wheel. Finally, I feel complete.

Kinda rushed and clunky, but eh... I kinda wanted to do some suspense-ish thingy XD
