Curse of the SS Anchor
Requirements
- Complete Blessing of the Forest Quest
- Have a Pokemon with Surf in your Party.
- No automatic healing between battles so it is recommended to bring healing items..
- Hard mode is available for this quest.
( Within your post, state that you would like to participate in Hard Mode and all levels will be tailored to roughly match the highest level Pokemon in your party. Beware! Some opponents listed below may become their evolved forms with improved moves or completely different Pokemon in Hard Mode. )
Location:
Outskirts of Olivine Harbor
Background:
Local sailors have recently sighted a ghostly ship on the outskirts of Olivine Harbor. There is a mysterious fog covering the ship making it hard to explore and anyone who has dared to try has never been seen again. There is rumors that the crew of the ship are Pokemon and will attack anyone who tries to explore the ship. If the rumors are true the captain themself is a Pokemon as well.
Are you willing to put an end to the cursed ship once and for all?
Quest Walkthrough:
Should you be brave enough to listen to the rumors the sailors tell you will make your way to.the SS Anchor, there you may choose to either find the source of the mysterious fog or head straight to the captain's quarters risking the fog interferring with your battle. The Cleanse Tag you hold can protect a single Pokemon in your party that holds it while every other Pokemon will suffer Curse damage whenever they are on the field.
Option 1: Explore the source of the Fog
As you decide to find out what is causing the unnatural fog you soon discover it originates in the engine room of the ship. Upon entering the room Ensigns Decaf and Regular and Lieutenant Bold realize you are there to interrupt their task of keeping the fog going and challenge you to a triple battle. Upon victory the fog will disappear and will drop a chipped and cracked pot however the curse will destroy whichever item you do not pick and you can only save one.

Afterwards you make your way to the Captains Quarters where Commander Algae and Captain Anchor await. To put an end to the curse of the ship you must defeat both in a double battle.

Option 2
You decide to throw caution to the wind and charge straight to the captain's quarters despite the fog. Commander Algae and Captain Anchor will battle you in a double battle with fog in effect only effecting your side during the battle. (Player's Pokemon have -10% accuracy during the battle. fog does not effect the boss Pokemon.)
