S.S. Anne

The S.S. Anne, or St. Anne, is a well-known luxury cruise liner which sails the world, stopping annually in Vermilion City, Kanto. To get on the S.S. Anne in the games, the player must first obtain an S.S. Ticket by helping out Bill. This ship contains many Pokémon Trainers, including many Gentlemen and Sailors. In Generation III, in one room on the first floor, a lady will restore a Trainer's party to full health. Before reaching the captain's cabin, the player will encounter Blue and must battle him.

Ash and friends were invited to board the ship by a disguised Team Rocket. Unbeknownst to them and all the other passengers, the ship is a trap set up by Team Rocket's boss Giovanni, who plotted to have his Grunts steal their Pokémon. At one point, Ash and his friends witness a Pokémon battle where a gentleman defeats a young Trainer's Starmie with his Raticade. Afterwards, the gentleman gives the Trainer some encouragement before asking if anyone else wanted to challenge him. Ash volunteers to fight him next using his Butterfree and the gentleman agrees. Ash wins the fight and after a meal, the gentleman suggests trading Pokémon and Ash agreed to the idea, gaining Raticate as his new Pokémon. Meanwhile, James is tricked into buying a Magikarp; Jessie and Meowth did not take this kindly (especially after James used some of Jessie's money to buy it without asking her) and made James go return it. However, he could not find the salesman before Team Rocket's plan was put into motion, forcing him to let it go. Jessie, James, Meowth, and the Grunts appear and used vacuums to suck the Trainers' Poké Balls. As some of the Grunts tried to take Ash and his friends' Pokémon, Ash retaliated by having his Pikachu electrocute one of them. Ash then decided to fight back against Team Rocket. The other Trainers agree to do the same and send out their Pokémon to fight the Grunts. The gentleman from earlier also joins the battle and sends out his Squirtle. As Ash and friends join the fight, Ash begins by sending out Pikachu, who attacked the Grunts with Thunderbolt alongside other Pikachu. Ash next sent out his Charmander and has it use Flamethrower alongside other Charmander on the Grunts, blasting a hole in the side of the ship in the process. Brock then sent out his Geodude, who, along with the other Geodude, form a fast spinning circle that attacks the Grunts. A group of Bulbasaur, along with Ash's Bulbasaur, then attack the Grunts with Vine Whip. Seeing a group of Butterfree use Stun Spore on some of the Grunts, Ash tries to send his Butterfree out, but forgot that he had traded it. This causes him to regret trading Butterfree, but quickly got back to the fight and sent out his Pidgeotto, ordering it to perform Gust along with the other Pidgeotto, sending most of the Grunts into a tornado that bursts out from the top of the ship. Ash then finished the fight by having Pikachu defeat the Grunts, along with same group of Pikachu from before, with Thunderbolt, sending the Grunts flying. Following Team Rocket's defeat, they managed to recover the stolen Pokémon. Due to a rough storm, James lost his Magikarp and after Ash got his Butterfree back, he lost it. Both groups are thrown sideways after recovering their Poké Balls, knocking them out. The ship flips over and sinks with Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie, and James still aboard while the other passengers escape. They were believed to be dead by the public.TB015: Battle Aboard the St. Anne Later on, they found to be alive and well, but the ship is on a tall rock over a large hole; however, there is still air inside, which is keeping it balanced. After they regain conscious, they encounter each other again after Misty's Goldeen saves Team Rocket from drowning after they foolishly try to open a hole in the ship to escape, not knowing that it will flood the ship. They challenged each other to a battle, but the extra weight causes the ship to tilt. They try to balance the ship out by having their Pokémon move to the opposite side, but this just causes it to tilt even more. Misty convinces them to recall their Pokémon to prevent the ship from falling and work together to escape. They reluctantly agree and began their climb to the bottom of the ship. To reach a passageway that leads to the engine room, Brock has his Onyx form a makeshift staircase (as the original one is out of reach due to the ship being flipped over). The group then enter a dark corridor, where Ash uses his Charmander as a light source. Finally, Ash has his Bulbasaur use Vine Whip to form a makeshift bridge to cross over a large fire pit. Upon reaching the engine room, they escaped by cutting a hole in the hull with the help of Ash's Charmander and used their Water type Pokémon to swim to the surface; however, Team Rocket didn't have any Water type Pokémon and James' Magikarp is no help as it cannot swim. But they manages to narrowly survive and escape before the ship plunges into the hole.TB016: Pokémon Shipwreck
