You’ll follow Hugh and Cheren onto the ship. The three of you will converse before you’re approached by a Grunt. He will raise the alarm and an entire group of Grunts will appear from the north, followed by a group to the south. You’ll be completely surrounded and the epic fighting will ensue!

If you need to, you can leave and do what you want at this point, including healing, but you need to come back and fight the other battles before the plot can advance. Talk with Cheren to begin the next battle, a double battle where you’ll team up with him.

Once the battle’s over, the Grunts won’t know what to do. Hugh and Cheren will say a few words, then a man known as Zinzolin will appear. You’ll speak with him, then some Pokemon will appear out of nowhere. Next thing you know, you’re back on the docks and the ship’s gone!

Hugh freaks and runs off. Cheren will reminiscently look out to see and say a few things before leaving. Now you’ll be on your way too!
