Tips

Cut is the main prize: the captain is seasick, and you receive HM01 Cut from him in his cabin.
Finish exploring the cabins first, because the ship sails away once you leave after meeting the captain.
Your Rival battles you on 2F with a team that includes Eevee, so bring a healthy party before heading to the top deck.
Items include Max Potion, Rare Candy, Max Ether, TM08 Body Slam and TM44 Rest, plus a hidden Great Ball in the kitchen.
Most trainers use Water or Normal Pokémon, so Electric and Grass attackers do well.
