"Nobody be home, so this ship be ours now," Ash said. "By the oldest law o' the sea, 'Finders Keepers.'"

He stepped onto the ship and looked around, frowning. It looked pretty hard to steer, but that couldn't stop a great pirate like him. "Okay! Ma-- Pikachu the decks! I'll be hoistin' the yardarm, whatever that be!"

Getting the sails up seemed like a good idea, and that was an easy task for a pirate as good as him! He pulled some ropes in likely seeming directions, and was proud to see the sails open.

"Arr, pay attention ye landlubbers!' He said proudly. "This be how a real pirate pirates!" He was so busy boasting that he failed to notice the boom swinging back around.
