Every sailor's eyes are stern, but they all wear cheeky Poliwag caps in stark contrast to their grim faces. Each and every one carries six Pokeballs on his belt and has muscles to match Valder's.
Two ladders, a staircase, a fireman's pole, and a broad slide lead down to various parts of the ship's underbelly. There's also three cargo elevators. On this upper deck, there's a big cabin suite of solid stone in the center, which hosts all the most important personages. The other quarters are either common rooms belowdecks or wooden cabins above.
Machokes are already unloading a lot of the cargo, but they will hire Valder for $475 a night to do work that requires a little more intelligence. He'd basically be a low level manager, tasked with doing a bit of heavy lifting and a lot of clipboard work.
During this job, Valder actually meets someone from his former life! A tough character with a bald head and many tattoos of fierce Pokemon. You remember him as Fellman, who had always wanted to sail.
Valder gets a teeny anxious at first, but realizes that everyone here is relatively busy with their own work, which restores the anxious level to 0. Maybe 0.1, but that's nothing.
He's happy with the pay, he enjoys these types of work.
Then, Valder sees someone who looks a lot like someone he once knew. Wanting to satisfy his rare curiousity, Valder quietly walks over and asks for their name... which revealed that this really was him. "Fellman. Do you remember me? I see that you finally, after all those years, got to sail. Is the sea... nice? Or do you call it ocean?
Valder asks Theo if he wants to help with the work. Theo likes to show his strength after all, so that should be to his liking.
