A: Give Old Joe the Medicine. You can't just leave them like this.

Your conscience gets the best of you. Your grandfather wouldn't want to be saved like this, there's somethig fishy about it.

You starts splashing up and down to get Old Joe's attention while keeping your distance for Joesph's sake.

Old Joe: "OH YOUR BRAGGING HUH!? WELL I SWEAR ON MY BOY'S LIFE I'M GONNA MAKE-"

You then throw the medicine at him wih all your might. His decades of Fisherman's reflexes causes him to catch it instinstively, shame he ever tried his hands at baseball.

You lost item: Medicine

Joey: "Grandpa! I think that's medicine! I told you he was nice."

Old Joe: "Now son, I know you're upset but fish don't think like us, dey stupider than Cousin Jo. He's just throwing trash from the ocean because it's a defensive instinct to desperately attack a superior prey. But I can thow it back a lot harder!"

Old Joe winds his arm back but at the last moment little Joey snatches it out of his hand with a jump and pours it down Joesph's mouth.

Old Joe: "BOY! WHAT DO YOU THIK YOU'RE DOIN'! Respect ya elde-"

Suddenly Joesph sits up and starts coughing and spluttering. Still whoozy from the shock to his body but clearly alive and quickly recovering. You wish that was your grandfather.

Joey: "Daddddddddy! You're okay!" Joey says excitedly as he tries to hug his dad.

Old Joe: "JOEY! Stay back from him until you get cleaned up."

Joey: "Yes Grandpa." he says realizing the wisdom. "But see, he was trying to help! I told you."

Old Joe: "Smgugharavemmph mphh... I bet he thought it was poison or summit. Never trust a fish, they always betray you. And never ever ever bring a Magikarp home again! you hear me boy!"

Old Joe lifts up Joesph and starts carrying him towards the hut. But Joey doesn't hear him as he looks at you with a smile.

Joey: "Thank you Magikarp! Come visist anytime!"
Old Joe: "NO IT CAN'T!"
Joey: "Well then I'll come and visit you!"
Old Joe: "NO YOU WON'T!"
Joey: "Goodbye Magikarp! Goodbye!"
Old Joe: "BAD BYE! STAY AWAY FROM MAH FAMILY!"

Joey waves goodbye at you while Old Joe shakes his fist with one arm while carrying Joesph back into the hut with the other.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo." (Aww Looks like you made a friend.)

You jump in shock. You didn't realize he was behind you again. He's so fast and so quiet.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo.... Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo....Sharpedo... Sharp...edo."... How touching... How sweet.... How kind... How... Irritating... You know Karpe I really thought we could have been friends. I really thought we could have got along. I really thought you got it. But I'm disappointed in you.)

Uncle Sharpy leans in real close. You're not sure if you should splash, flee, reach for a pokeball or try to talk you way out of this but before you could even process that thought he's on top of you and his fangs rip right through your hard scales like a hot knife through butter.

He was so fast and expertly knew just where to strike. He's obviously done this many times before, even a Wartortle would be helpless. The pain is excruciating and debilitating. You squeal and wiggle in the water but there's nothing you can do as he chomps down. The harder he bites the less you're able to move until you're rendered completely paralyzed. Only then he spits you out and you float across the water like a plank of wood.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo." (Don't worry Karpe, I'm not going to kill you. I want you to live for a long long time so you can spend every moment remembering that you failed your family.)

He plops underwater, leaving you floating there for a little while. Then he emerges with a barrel. It has vinegar stamped across it and is clearly designed for transport.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo Sharpedo SHARPEDO!" (Well be seeing you Karpe. It's been a BARREL of laughs!) he says with a cruel cackle.

He tosses you inside the barrel of vinegar that smells and stings on your wounds. Did he plan for this!?

The last thing you see before you pass out is the lid being sealed shut.

You Fainted.

You wake up an unknown amout of time later in complete darkness. Still floating in smelly vinegar. You swim around your limited space trying to find an exit but can't. Eventually your swimming causes the barrel to wobble and fall over.

It falls for a surprisingly long time then crashes onto the floor in an explosion of wood, vinegar and ...well you. It hurts and you're flopping on cold ground again but at least you're free.

You look aroud and see you're in some kind of dull gray storage room full of barrels and crates. You were on a shelf, that's why you fell so far. You see a circular window and hop ontop of a pile of crates to look outside and get your bearings.

Then it hits you, wait that's not a window, it's a porthole! Oh no! Nononononno! You look outside and all you see in every direction is open sea. This isn't a storage room! It's a cargo hold!

That sick shark bully put you on you a barge! How far has it traveled already!? Where are you even heading!?

What do you do:

A. Jump into the Ocean. It's water and every moment on this ship is taking you further away from home.
B. Stay on the barge. At least it must be taking you somewhere. That's better than being lost in the middle of the sea.
