Don't underestimate a super pilot

[The feed starts with a close view of the bottom half of a Snorlax floating on water, complete with an Octillery sitting between the legs and moving its tentacles like the world's slowest propeller. It backs away a little, partially showing Mt. Mortar to the side. There's plenty of time to take in the view, as the background is moving at a glacial pace.

A rout of tiny little baby Shellos is racing against the unlikely boat on the shore, and winning. Easily.]

At this point, I can't even tell which one is using Surf. Or if either of them is using Surf at all. It's been three days, and we're not halfway to Mahogany yet.

[Which would explain why Ash looks so bored when he finally looks at the camera. Behind him, gentle snoring can be heard. No wonder they're practically not moving.]

So, a little poll for you guys. Should I try to swim there by myself instead? Because I'm seriously considering it.
