Hello! It's me with another fanfiction! Welcome to Total Pokémon island! Where there's gonna be DRAMA, but I'll let the hosts tell you all about that.

Enjoy and all that as I'm thrilled to try this again!

In the Hall of Origins, Arceus was currently sitting worriedly on her throne, troubled thoughts going through her head, she was sure that something would go horribly wrong today. After all, it would be showing today. Absorbed in her thoughts, she failed to see Ho-oh passing by, stopping by her throne.

Frowning Ho-oh took a closer look at Arceus. Was she upset or something? He decided to try to and see what was up. "Um, Arceus?" He said, nudging her with his wing. She remained unmoving, however, causing Ho-oh to nudge her again, although that didn't work either.

"Hey, Arceus?!" Ho-oh said, testing to see if yelling would work. "Universe to Arceus?!"

The god of all Pokémon still remained unmoving, however, causing Ho-oh to attempt drastic measures. He got in front of her, opening his beak, charging up his strongest Sacred Fire. His beak wrathed with brilliant flames, he prepared to fire.

"Here's hoping she forgives me for this!" Ho-oh let out, gaining a bit of height. After getting some fair distance between him and Arceus, he let loose, firing his attack.

The swirling mass of flames hit Arceus head on, exploding on impact, sending a wave of heat that even Ho-oh could feel. The legendary bird looked on as Arceus, startled, looked around, seeing Ho-oh.

"Sorry I had to do that Arceus," Ho-oh said, landing in front of Arceus. "But you were practically in a coma!"

Arceus, however, looked puzzled. "Wait, what did you do? You did something?"

Ho-oh blinked at Arceus, surprised. "Um... yeah," He said, deflated. Was his attack really that weak compared to Arceus's strength? "I hit you with the strongest attack I have..."

Arceus frowned, examining herself for damage. "Did you miss or something, Ho-oh?" She asked. "Because I can't seem to find any damage dealt to me..."

"N-No!" Ho-oh said, embarrassed. "I'm sure it hit you! You woke up, didn't you? That means it worked!"

"Oh, I see..." Arceus said, her mind still wandering. "Yes, given that fact, you did do some damage..."

"Anyway, Arceus," Ho-oh inquired. "Why were you just standing like that? What in the universe are you worried about?"

"Multiverse," Arceus mumbled to herself, correcting her fellow legendary under her breath. "Something bad is happening today, Ho-oh. Something really bad..."

Ho-oh froze. "Don't tell me Giratina was right and you're gonna cause the apocalypse, killing all of Pokékind?!"

"What?" Arceus questioned, her expression souring. Giratina knew far too much. Still, she just couldn't let her friend worry. "Cause the apocalypse? Why would I do that?"

Ho-oh let out a huge sigh of relief, smiling at Arceus. "Oh, thank you! But then, what's happening today that's so bad?"

"Remember when I announced my plan for the mortals to get to know us better?" Arceus asked, reminding Ho-oh. "Give one of us a reality show?"

"Yeah..." Ho-oh said. "Go on..."

"I drew straws and Mew got the first pick." Arceus sighed, dropping her body to the floor in despair, while Ho-oh's beak dropped to the floor, as he remembered Mew being in a really good mood that morning.

However, Ho-oh remembered something else, equally worrying. "Hey Arceus, it's just Mew doing this, right? No co-host?"

Arceus nodded, seeing the look on Ho-oh's face, her own worry intensifying. "Yes... why?"

"Cause Mew left with Mewtwo just this morning." Ho-oh said.

"...DAMMIT!" Arceus yelled, slamming her face into the ground, placing a few new cracks into the shining floor. Ho-oh sweatdropped, he hoped Mew was ready to face Arceus. Actually, scratch that. No one was ready to face Arceus in this state.

Regardless, he decided to tune in to watch Mew's show, using Arceus's HD television screen, as said Arceus continued to repeatedly bang her head onto the floor, the force increasing with each slam.

We get a glimpse of an island covered in forests and a beach, well the side that is shown to us at least. The camera zooms in on a lonely dock, where a pink Pokémon is floating, a cocky smirk on his face, as his tail waves to the camera.

"Hello there, everyone! It's yours truly, Mew!" It said. "Welcome to Total Pokémon Island! I'll be hosting the show along with my co-host, and chef to the campers, Mewtwo!"

Mew looked around, where was no one around. "Where is that guy?" He peered left and right, but the dock was empty. He gave up and shrugged. "Oh well, guess I'm gonna dock his pay..."

Suddenly said Pokémon appeared right next to Mew, teleporting beside him in a purple flash. He glared at Mew, his purple tail swishing angrily. "If you even THINK of docking my pay, I'm taking it to Arceus.

"There you are!" Mew said, ignoring him, his face delighted, his tail swishing excitedly. "What took so long?"

"Had to finish up things with our lawyers. You know, they can be a nuisance when they want too. Especially since I didn't announce myself to be a co-host until today..." Mewtwo grumbled. "They had me PAY to hold the camera."

Mew nodded. "Tell me about it. Those guys are the worst! Safety? Life? Disaster? Maiming? Bleh!" Mew's face suddenly got a questioning look. "Who's holding the camera?"

Mewtwo shrugged, to Mew's dismay. "Just holding it up with my telekinesis."

Mew then turned back to the camera, relieved. "Anyway, I'll explain the rules of the game! We have brought in 36 Pokémon, 2 of each type! All of the age of teenagers! You know, 15-21, all a responsible age, they'll be staying at the island, bunking with each other, getting to know each other, as they all compete for 1 MILLION DOLLARS AND 100 RARE CANDIES!"

Mewtwo smirked, stretching. "Don't forget they'll have to go through grueling challenges crafted by us. They're gonna be sorry they ever came onto the island."

Mew frowned, fur standing up. "HEY. Not cool. Don't steal my thunder. When YOU become the main host of a show, THEN you can take all the thunder you want."

"Hn." Mewtwo grumbled. "You're such an airhog..."

"Anyway," Mew continued. "The challenges will be crafted by yours truly! With some minor assistance by Mewtwo, of course."

"MINOR?!" Mewtwo exclaimed. Mew simply brushed him aside, continuing.

"And after each challenge, one of the campers will be voted off by one of their fellow campers! That's right, you heard me! This show will be full of friendship, torture, betrayal, and everything in between! And we'll catch it all on camera! Plus, the campers have signed a legal contract to let us do this to them! How cool is that? The ratings will soar! I'll be the a biggest success since Professor Oak!"

Mewtwo frowned. "How is he a huge success? He's just a Pokémon Professor."

Mew huffed, Mewtwo obviously didn't understand. "But he's the FIRST." Mewtwo rolled his eyes at that, scoffing.

"But we have others now. Like Rowan, Sycamore, Birch, Juni-"

Mew quickly whipped out a calculator, his tail hovering over the keys. "How much is 70% of your pay docked?" Now it was Mewtwo's turn to huff and he turned away as he did so, but not without showing a pale color on his face.

After that little exchange, the two legendaries just floated there in an awkward silence until a noise sounded off. A Wailord's bellow echoed in the distance as Mew smiled.

"Ah!" He said, grinning with glee. The pink cat nudged Mewtwo, pointing. "There's our first victim- I mean camper!"

The large blue whale Pokémon swam up to the deck, carrying a small blue crocodile with him. The croc was smiling, his smile rivaling that off Mewtwo's. He jumped off and walked up to Mew, walking in a sort of waddling fashion.

"Hey there! I'm Totodile, and I'm super glad to be here!" He said, showing his teeth with a huge grin.

Mew smirked at Totodile's eagerness. "Here's Totodile! Friendly, aren't you?"

Totodile held out his hand, which Mew shook, but the interaction was a little too enthusiastic on Totodile's side. The experience shook Mew...literally. "Man.." Mew said, his body shaking. "W-Welcome..."

Totodile then went to shake Mewtwo's hand, but was literally pushed away by his psychokinesis. Mewtwo's look was steel as he uttered one very agressive word to the Pokémon. "NO."

The blue and red croc frowned and walked to the end of the dock, to Mewtwo's relief.

"On further note, here's Togedemaru from the distant Alola region!" Mew said, shaking his body to recover. True to Mew's word, the next Pokémon arriving on the Wailord was a small gray hedgehog, checkered with brown and yellow triangles, wearing shades.

As his Wailord docked, Togedemaru rolled off, bouncing around a bit on the wooden planks that made up the docks. "Where's the amusement park?" He asked, slightly deflated upon seeing his new surroundings.

Mew and Mewtwo smirked, sneaking a glance at each other. They had been running a little...short on contestants, so they had included an amusement park in the brochure for the final one.

"About that..." Mew said, holding in his gigantic smirk. "We lied! This is a game show! No amusement park what so ever!"

Togedemaru tried to speak, but was rolled by Mewtwo over to Totodile, using telekinesis. "No questions. You're here now. Deal with it."

"Hey!" Totodile said, picking Togedemaru up and squeezing him in a huge hug. Togedemaru smiled a bit, although he was being squished. The Roly Poly didn't seem to mind all that much.

Mew shifted his attention as the next Wailord docked, stopping smoothly next to the dock. This time, a light blue Pokémon jumped off, waddling happily onto the dock.

Mew looked confused and used his psychokinesis to push it back onto the Wailord. "Who is this? I didn't choose him!" He glared at Mewtwo.

Mewtwo shrugged. "What? I chose him. Got a problem?"

Mew looked ready to object but the Pokémon had already come back beside him.

"Name's Wynaut! Don't want me? Why not?" He asked. Although he had slits for eyes, the Pokémon that had already arrived (Which was a whopping number of TWO) stared at him.

Mew looked at him. "You're in for a rough time buddy. Doesn't look like you can see well." Wynaut turned his head a bit to the side.

"Oh, but I can see EVERYTHING, Mew..." He said, smiling stupidly. "I see good things in your future..."

Mew backed up a bit. "Okay Mewtwo...you picked a hippie. Good things must always be plagued by...weird...things, I suppose..."

Wynaut simply waddled to the end of the dock, only to be greeted by Totodile with a hug. "I see comfortable things in your future..." Wynaut let out contently.

Totodile grinned. "Those are my favorite kind!"

The next two Pokémon to arrive were an Umbreon and a Mimikyu, both on one Wailord. Umbreon simply hopped off of the whale, while Mimikyu simply rolled off.

"How's it feel to be here, guys?" Mew asked, back to his cheerful mood now that Wynaut was away from him.

Umbreon looked at Mew as he walked off, the Eeveelution giving Mewtwo the cold shoulder as well. With a swish of his tail, he simply sat down at the end of the dock, not interacting with the others.

Mimikyu, on the other hand, was a different story.

"Hello!" He chimed. "You chose me because of my costume, right? It's cool, right? I made it myself! I'm cool! Right? Cool? It was cause of my costume? Right? Right? Right?!"

Mimikyu went on and on until Mew spoke up, thoroughly annoyed. "Yes! Okay! Go to the other side of the dock please!" Mimikyu trudged off, rather disappointed, while Mewtwo shuddered as the costume Pokémon passed him by. That Pokémon creeped him out.

Next to arrive on their Wailord was a Starmie. Well, actually the Starmie was swimming by the Wailord talking and laughing on the way. As they arrived, Starmie cheerfully waved goodbye as well as she could, as her new friend swam off.

Starmie hopped onto the dock, her red gem glowing with excitement, her star shaped body making her way to Mew, tapping on the wooden deck as she went.

"This'll be so much fun!" She said, delight in her voice. "I'm Starmie, and I can't wait to get started!" She inched closer to Mew. "So what fun things will we be doing on this island?

Mew frowned, the star Pokémon's demeanor bugging him a bit. This wasn't supposed to be fun! For the campers anyway... "Okay, 1, I will TORTURE you in these challenges." Mew started, noting his eyes. "And 2, you've just made me want to torture you even more!"

Starmie, upon hearing that, drooped, her gem glowing less now. She began to trudge to the edge of the dock, but a loud noise was suddenly coming from the air. "The heck is that?" She asked, raising her voice to be heard.

"I forsee a disaster approaching!" Wynaut said, yelling as well. "I suggest we all meditate with tea leaves!"

"Hell no! I'm not taking that shit on my island!" Mew said, listening closer, finding it was the sound of rotors spinning. "It's a vehicle, but where?!"

Umbreon, having been trying to nap at this point, got up with an irritated look on his face, looked up into the sky, using Foresight. "It's a helicopter!" He said, deactivating his move. "Directly above us!"

Mew used the same move, frowning as he saw what Umbreon saw. It was cloaked of course, but with Foresight, Mew could see it. "Park in my airspace huh?" He yelled up at them. "I'll show you!"

Eyes fueled by determination, he turned to Mewtwo. "Mewtwo, my buddy, my pal, my fake me, GET THE ROCKET LAUNCHER!"

Mewtwo grinned evilly, holding out his hands, a rocket launcher appearing in his hands immediately. "Well, well, it's been a while since I've used this." He took aim, the launcher already loaded.

Togedemaru, apprehensive at the sight of Mewtwo holding a rocket launcher, which had scared many a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon away, raised his small hand. "Hey, can't there be another way to do this?"

Mew huffed, thinking the idea absurd. "NO!" He said, scowling at Togedemaru. "IT'S DO OR DIE!"

"But-" Togedemaru started, before being tapped by Umbreon. Turning around, he saw the Dark type shaking his head. "Just let him be." Umbreon stated. "It's not like we could stop him anyway."

Mew nodded, smirking evilly up at the helicopter. "What the emo says is true! You couldn't stop me OR Mewtwo! Especially since it's been YEARS since Mewtwo got to hold one of these!"

"For good reason..." Starmie murmured, shivering as she saw Mewtwo's steel cold eyes.

"FIRE!" Mew yelled, waving his hand at the helicopter, the rotors still able to be heard. Mewtwo grinned, firing the rocket, which released with a bang and soared upwards. It collided with the cloaked helicopter, creating a huge explosion, debris flying everywhere.

"Yes!" Mew cheered, doing a little victory dance, sticking his tounge out at the explosion. "Score one for me!" Mewtwo simply teleported the rocket launcher away, satisfied with this venture.

"Yeah, but..." Umbreon said, still looking up, frowning as he did so. "Something is still coming our way."

"It's the disaster!" Wynaut exclaimed, running around in a circle on the deck. "Get the tea leaves! Hurry, before-" Suddenly out of the sky fell a blue Jellicent that crashed on top of Wynaut, cutting off his words as well as his supply of oxygen.

"Why me!" He squeaked out.

The Jellicent got off of him, brushing herself in an elegant manner as she did so, glaring at Mew. "What gives you the right to blow me out of the sky in such a manner?! It's VERY unproper and unfitting for a lady such as myself."

Mew frowned, his paw rubbing his chin. "Oh yeah... you're one of the contestants right? Why didn't you ride in on the Wailords?"

Jellicent gasped, one of her fins going to her chest. "Like a commoner?! I expect to be treated as well as Arceus herself!"

Mew smirked. "Sorry, you'll be staying in cabins, and the ONLY beings worthy of that kind of attention are me and my buddy here. Tata."

Jellicent narrowed her eyes at Mew, fuming, but decided against speaking out to him, as she floated away.

The next three Pokémon to arrive were a Pinsir, a Druddigon, a Granbull, and a Braixen, all travelling on their Wailords, much to Mew's relief. The Pinsir came onto deck first, then the Druddigon, and the Braixen.

"Welcome to the island!" Mew said, trying for a smile. Pinsir ignored him, walking to the end of the dock, creepily looking at his fellow contestants. Druddigon ignored the pink legendary as well, stomping over to the edge of the deck, scoffing when he saw his competition. Granbull smirked at Mew, walking herself over, deciding to eye the competition subtly.

However, Braixen gave Mew a big smile, her tail swishing as she walked over. "Thanks for the welcome, I'm so glad to be here!"

"You know, normally I'd chew or savagely roast somebody for a response like that, but I'm just happy you even gave me one!" Mew said, relieved that at least of the 3 contestants gave him a response.

"You couldn't even roast a chicken lying out in the sun all day." Mewtwo scoffed, having grown bored of waiting for all the contestants to arrive.

"Hey!" Mew said, frowning. "Take that back!"

Mewtwo glared back at him, taking his eyes of the sea. "Never."

Seeing Mew's frustration, Braixen held out her arms. "Awww, wanna hug?" She asked. To her surprise, Mew grudgingly floated into her arms, his own outstretched.

"Fine..." He said as the fire fox wrapped her arms around him. Mewtwo snickered, causing Mew to pull away, huffing.

"Okay, go to the end of the dock now..." He said to her, pointing to where the contestants were.

"Okay!" Braixen said, happily skipping off.

The next two Pokémon were a Stunky, a Klefki, and Gengar, who shared a Wailord. The Wailord, however was traveling pretty fast, his nose and mouth scrunched up in agony. The same went for the Klefki and the Gengar, their eyes tearing up.

"Please!" Gengar cried as he ran off of the Wailord, it arriving quicker than most. "He smells so horrible, I just can't take it! And I don't even have a nose! He had to take a shit over the ocean and the smell got even worse!"

"Save me!" The Klefki cried, floating after the Gengar, the two heading quickly to the edge of the dock.

Mew frowned at the two. "Come on, you guys are babies-" He began, before the Stunky jumped off the Wailord onto the dock. As soon as he landed, all the Pokémon shifted their noses away from him, Mew and Mewtwo included. The Wailord carrying him zoomed away, using Waterfall to speed himself up.

"It reeks!" Braixen yelped, covering her nose with her paw. "What is that smell?"

"What a vulgar smell!" Jellicent groaned, her eyes closed in agony. "How uncouth and unbecoming!"

The others on the deck voiced similar opinions, were close to passing out, or played it off like it was nothing. Regardless, Mew was less than happy with this development, glaring at the skunk Pokémon.

"Aww..." Stunky sighed, his body shying away from Mew's glare, his tail curling around his body. "You can't just judge me like that..."

"You can bet your ass we can! Mewtwo!" Mew barked out. "Chase that stink bomb out of here and hose him down!"

Stunky cried out with an "Eep!", turning around to see a sadistic smile on Mewtwo's face, running off the dock and onto the island as Mewtwo flew after him with murderous intent, his eyes as steely as when he held the rocket launcher.

Thankfully, the smell cleared out quickly, thanks to Mew using his psychic powers to push the scent away, just in time as a Ledyba arrived, flying off of her Wailord immediately, twirling brown batons.

"I'm here to win this thing, pinkie!" She said, excited as heck, yelling in Mew's ear. "I'm going to the top! JUST YOU WATCH!"

Mew just rolled his eyes, wincing at her obnoxious voice. "Yeah, yeah, go join the others on the dock, like the loser you'll be..."

Having her mood temporarily brought down, she frownd for a second, before getting fired up again, chanting to herself as she flew over to the edge of the dock.

The next Pokémon came in on a pair of water skis, a Pikachu, being pulled by the Wailord he was SUPPOSED to be riding on. With a wide grin on his face, the Pikachu jumped off as the Wailord zoomed by the dock, landing right beside Mew.

"Hello, yellow!" He said, cheerfully, waving goodbye to the Wailord as he took off his parasail. "This Pika is on the scene and ready for action!"

"How's it going, Pikachu?" Mew asked, impressed by his charismatic nature. "Ready to be tortured like the rest of the campers?"

Pikachu shrugged, his smile not leaving his face, his tail twitching. "No worries about that! I'l just have to take it a mon and rise to the top!"

Mew pointed to the dock, his tail getting tired of all the pointing. "Well, wait for the rest of the contestants down at the edge of the dock!"

Pikachu grinned, rushing quickly to the end of the dock, greeting the others with a wave as he arrived.

Mew was starting to become restless, as he waited for the other contestants, until he saw who was on the next Wailord. To his surprise, the next to arrive on the Wailord was...Mew?

Mew frowned, eyebrows knit, as his look alike giggled in front of him. "We look AMAZING, don't we?" It asked.

Mew, conflicted since he OBVIOUSLY looked amazing, divine even, pointed to the edge of the dock. "THANK you for the compliment, but don't steal this handsome face!"

The look alike groaned as it shifted into a Zorua, smiling sheepishly. "How many more contestants need to arrive?" She asked.

Mew shrugged. "Heck if I know, just get over to the edge. I'm sure you'll have the BEST of fun."

She grinned excitedly when Mew said that, deciding to go and strike up some conversations with the others. Mew made a mental note to ban shape-shifting in the next season, if he even had a next season, as he waited for the next contestant.

To his delight, the next contestant arrived rather quickly. He was a Dragonite, who walked slowly onto the deck, patting it with his foot while still holding onto the Wailord. "Hmmm." He said, testing it for something.

Deciding that the dock was okay, he let go of the Wailord, stepping onto the deck. However, he suddenly slipped on a patch of seawater, falling onto the deck. Sliding to the edge of the dock, bumped into Mew, and knocked all the other Pokémon into the water.

"Yes, yes..." Mew said, wringing out his tail. He was sitting in a room, painted to look like the inside of a Pokéball. "Welcome to our confession room for this show. Every show has one, and, of course, being original would cost too much."

He frowned, shaking seawater out of his ears. "Ugh, I hope Mewtwo gets back soon."

"Sorry, guys, I guess I really 'slipped' up there, heh," Dragonite said, grabbing Togedemaru out of the sea, after everyone else was back on the dock, smiling sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head, plopping the Roly Poly onto the dock. "I'm just a tad clumsy..."

"A TAD?" Druddigon spat out, along with sea water and some strands of seaweed. He removed more seaweed from his claws, glaring at Dragonite. "Just you wait, dumbass, I'll get you yet."

"Yeah..." Pikachu said, shaking himself dry, wringing leftover seawater from his ears. "I think it might be a bit more than just a 'tad', my friend."

Togedemaru grinned, looking up at Dragonite. "I'm just glad you helped me out there! I'd just be bobbing up and down in water otherwise..."

"Speak for yourself, guys!" Totodile said to Druddigon and Gengar, as he gave a toothy grin, his tail wagging happily. "The ocean is just fine for me!"

Mew, fed up with this, contemplated calling Giratina to kill off all his contestants, they probably would've learned a lesson that way, but the next Wailord soon arrived, bringing with it the next contestant, a Togekiss.

As her Wailord pulled up to the dock, Togekiss hopped off onto the deck, using her wings to flutter down gracefully. Upon seeing Mew and the other campers, however, she stared down at the floor, her look one full of panic.

"Welcome Togekiss!" Mew said, disregarding her body actions, giving her a grin. "Glad to have you on the show! Of course, Arceus has me say stuff like that, but I can still say it regardless, can't I?"

Togekiss mumbled something, still staring at the wooden dock, fidgeting with her feet. Mew rubbed his hand on the back of his head, frowning. "Um, Togekiss? Earth to Togekiss?"

"Ah, I see... that girl has an inverted aura," Wynaut said, frowning as he watched the exchange(or lack thereof) between the two. "Very intriguing, I may be able to help her with a charm, perhaps change her fate."

"Can you cut it out with that crap?" Gengar said, scowling at Wynaut. "You've been spouting that superstitious shit ever since I got here!"

"Actually, he's saying it since HE got here," Mimikyu said, letting out a giggle. "But I kinda enjoy it!"

"Well, I'm glad everyone's not you..." Umbreon said, the Dark type turning to look at Wynaut. "Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against you, yet, but I just don't believe in all that future stuff."

"...Did he say yet?" Dragonite asked, frowning. "Cause that kinda scares me." He looked down, feeling someone pat his leg, and saw Totodile.

"He probably meant nothing by it," Totodile said, his grin remaining on his face. "I'm sure everyone here's a nice person deep down!"

Wynaut didn't turn to face Umbreon, but grinned nonetheless. "I'm glad you don't hate me for my beliefs, it's actually quite reassuring to my psyche!"

"Again with that hippie dippie stuff?" Gengar said, beginning to get irritated. "I said stop!"

"Hate to tell you..." Braixen said to Gengar, twirling her stick in her hands. "But psyche is more of a psychological term, and rarely has anything to do with the beliefs Wynaut holds."

Gengar looked at Braixen for a sec, his face full of disbelief. "Hold on, really?!"

Meanwhile, Mew had simply used his psychokinesis to levitate Togekiss to the edge of the dock, placing her by Braixen, the least likely to intimidate her, and just in time. The next Wailord was arriving at that moment, carrying a Mienshao.

"And welcome to the next contestant, Mienshao!" Mew said, turning his attention to the approaching Fighting Type.

Mienshao, stepping onto the dock, paused for a moment, silently looking at her competition at the end of the dock. Taking a moment or so, she simply brushed past Mew, walking to said end.

"Hey!" Mew yelled at her, infuriated, before turning to see his next contestant arriving on the Wailord. As the Wailord arrived, Mew could see a Quilava laying down on his back, his signature flames absent.

He got up as the Wailord stopped, hopping onto the deck and letting out a sigh as he landed. Mew frowned, not sensing enthusiasm or determination of any kind coming off of the Fire type.

"Um, you okay buddy?" Mew asked him, kind of concerned. "You good and all that?"

"As good as I can be..." Quilava said in a rather dejected voice, seeing the others at the end of the dock. "That's where I have to go, right?"

Mew nodded, and watched Quilava walked off slowly, and just in time, the next contestant was just about to arrive. Another contestant coming without a Wailord, an Empoleon swam swiftly up to the dock, sending water everywhere as he jumped onto the dock.

"HEY!" Mew shouted, sopping wet, sick and tired that contestants just WOULDN'T take their Wailords. "I just did my fur today! WHY don't you have a Wailord?!"

Empoleon looked at Mew, his eyes narrowing. "My skill alone was enough to carry me to this island, I had no need for a mere Wailord," He let out. "Besides, I'm here to win. I could care less about your fur."

And with that, Empoleon walked off, to the end of the dock. Mew's temper began to rise, his psychic powers beginning to focus. He was about to use them on the dual type penguin, but the next two contestants were arriving, on their Wailords this time.

"Here's Marshtomp and Wartortle!" Mew said, deciding to focus his powers on removing the seawater from his fur, turning his attention to the 2 approaching water types. As their Wailords stopped at the dock, Wartortle and Marshtomp hopped off.

As Marshtomp landed, he wobbled a bit, but Wartortle helped him up, the two giving each other a fist bump once Marshtomp was standing upright again. Walking towards Mew, Wartortle gave him a wave, toting a surfboard.

"Sup, Mew!" He said, giving the legendary a big grin. "Me and my best buddy here are really glad that you accepted us!" Wartortle gave Marshtomp a playful nudge, causing him to grin.

"Yeah!" Marshtomp said, pumping his arms in the air. "And when we win, we're going to take home the and have a HUGE party!"

Mew gave them a sly grin, however. "You guys DO know there's only one winner, right?"

The Water types just grinned, Wartortle slinging his arm around Marshtomp. "Yeah, you're right," Wartortle said. "But it doesn't matter which of us win! With two of us, we have twice the chance!"

"Well, good luck!" Mew said, directing them to the edge of the dock. Seeing them walk off, he snickered to himself. "Cause you're gonna need it..."

The next Wailord was already arriving, Mew turning his attention to it. The large Water Pokémon was carrying an Alolan Vulpix, who gracefully got off as her Wailord body language reserved, yet serene, she came up to Mew and grinned in a welcoming manner.

Happy that the next contestant arrived, Mew grinned back, waving his paw. "Welcome to the show, Vulpix!"

Vulpix simply kept grinning and staring at Mew, remaining silent. Mew frowned slightly, getting unnerved. "Um, Vulpix?" He asked waving his hand in front of her face. "You still there?"

Vulpix nodded, her grin still remaining on her face, but still remained silent. Mew was starting to get freaked out, thinking something ghostly was going on, but he remembered a vital detail from Vulpix's original application.

Smiling sheepishly to Vulpix, Mew got back into his original demeanor. He used sign language, directing her to the end of the dock, as well as welcoming her. Her eyes shining with appreciation, she walked to the edge of the dock, smiling to her fellow contestants.

"So.." Umbreon said, lying down on the dock, having watched the exchange with one of his eyes half open. "She's deaf. What an interesting choice for a contestant."

"She's deaf?" Mimikyu asked the Eeveelution, before looking at Vulpix herself. "Wow, that's gotta be real hard for you..."

Vulpix smiled gratefully at Mimikyu's concern, bringing him into a hug, to his delight, her 6 tails assisting her.

Meanwhile, all of a sudden, a red stripe appeared by Mew, scaring him for real this time. He let out a shriek, which was quickly replaced by a look of irriation.

"Kecleon..." Mew grumbled, his brows furrowed. "Don't scare me like that! Do you wanna get kicked off the island this quickly?!"

A green lizard came into existence, frowning, flexing his rolled up tail, stretching it out. "Well, I'm sorry that you don't have any backbone. Please tell me, what was it that whoever gave you this show was smoking when they thought up this idea? Anything THAT strong would be a real treat for recreation."

Obviously upset by Kecleon's words, Mew's right eye began to twitch. "Arceus gave me this show, and you can sure as hell bet I can handle it!"

"Handle it?" Kecleon asked, a self assured grin beginning to appear on his face. "I never insinuated that you couldn't. Might you not be as sure in yourself as you may think?"

"Just get to the edge of the dock, you damn reptile!" Mew shouted, entirely fed up with the chameleon. "Just you wait, you're gonna regret this!"

Kecelon simply chuckled, walking off with a dissmissive wave of his tail, as he began to look over his competition. Seeing quite a few threats among the rabble, he decided to just wait until the other contestants arrived.

Speaking of which, next up was a Riolu, all enthusiastic and waving batons in his arms as he hopped off of his Wailord. Energy was practically radiating off of him, and it showed as he grinned at Mew.

"Hey there!" He said, wobbling a bit as the batons spun in his hands. "I-I'm really glad to be here, and I'd l-like to-"

But before he could finish, unfortunately, his batons went flying right out of his hands, as the Fighting type yelped in surprise. They spun and, to everyone's surprise, and crashing hard into Mew's...nether regions.

Mew fell to the wooden dock with a thud, eyes clenched shut, and breathing heavily. Riolu, mega embarrased, extended a paw to help Mew up, but was flung all the way to the dock by Mew's telekinesis.

"Hey!" Riolu said, his body in some pain. "I was trying to-" But once again he was cut off as he saw Mew glaring at him with a look that made him feel like he was on the way to his own grave.

"U-Um..." Riolu stammered, hiding behind Gengar, much to the ghost's displeasure. "I'll just stay over here..."

Mew kept glaring, but the next contestant was already arriving, a Carbink just sitting patiently on his Wailord. Upon arriving, he hopped off, his rocky body thudding onto the dock.

"So, you're Mew, huh?" Carbink asked after Mew had recovered enough to take notice of him. "Well, I hope that you memorize this face; I'm so gonna win this competition!"

"Yeah, you and everyone else," Mew said, rolling his eyes. "Look, I'm really getting tired of this, okay? Just go over to the dock with your fellow contestants, allright?"

"Allright, allright," Carbink said, hopping over to the designated area. "It's not like I wanted to talk or anything..."

As Carbink left, the contestant was already arriving, yet another one who decided not to take their Wailord. Mew, beginning to feel better, looked up to see a brown bird Pokémon descending onto the dock, landing with a salute.

"Well, well," Mew said, annoyed that this contestant didn't arrive on the Wailord either. "Looks like the next contestant finally arrived."

Carrying a light green stalk under one of his wings, the Farfetch'd performed a salute. "Farfetch'd reporting for duty, Mew!"

Mew sweatdropped before laughing a bit. "That's right, you used to go to military school, right?"

"Affirmative, sir!" Farfetch'd said, saluting once more, his eyes steely and determined. "I would like to know where I am to go!"

"Um, to the end of the dock," Mew said, frowning somewhat. "Right over there, where the other contestants are."

Farfetch'd nodded to Mew, then proceeded to march over, in a rigid militaristic fashion. Once he got over there, however, he let out a sigh of relief. "Putting on that act sure is hard..." He let out.

Next up on their Wailord was an Aurorus, whose own weight was causing her carrier to struggle, a look of intense concentration on the Wailord's face. The Wailord soon swam up next to the dock, allowing Aurorus to go onto it. As she walked onto the dock, medical equipment hanging around her waist, it creaked under her weight, causing Mew to gain a nervous look on his face.

"Welcome to the island," Mew said, giving Aurorus a grin nevertheless. "I'm glad you're here!"

Aurorus had a large grin on her face, squealing with excitement. "Ooh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm SUPER glad to be here! I'm hoping to win this thing fair and square!"

"Fair and square, huh?" Mew asked, a smirk on his face. "Well, we'll see if you're up to that soon enough! For now, go wait with the others!"

Aurorus nodded, walking over the others, the wooden dock continuing to crack with each step she took.

Meanwhile, Mew turned back to looking at the sea, prepared to wait for the next contestant when, suddenly, a Glaceon walked out from behind him, timidly making her way to the end of the dock. Mew looked confused, calling out to the Eeveelution. "Um, Glaceon?"

With a yelp, the Ice type broke into a full sprint, running to the end of the dock, covering her face with her front paws as soon as she got there, slumping her body to the ground.

Mew decided to pay her no mind as the next two contestants came along, both on their Wailord as well, the whales having a much easier time then Aurorus's did. As their Wailords stopped at the dock, a Bidoof and a Turtwig hopped off, walking up to Mew.

"Welcome Bidoof and Turtwig!" Mew said, getting excited that there were only 3 contestants left to introduce. The show was about to get underway! "Ready to win?"

"Well, I don't know about that," Bidoof said, munching on a muffin, as he attempted to talk while his cheeks were stuffed. "But I'm gonna do the best that I can!"

Turtwig, on the other hand, simply smirked at Mew's question, waving the little leaf on the top of his head. "Obviously I'm ready to win, this won't be a cakewalk, but I came here to win. If I don't do that, what was the point of coming here?"

"Nicely said, both of you!" Mew said, his tail swishing about. "Well, then guys, wait over there for now, okay?"

Both Turtwig and Bidoof nodded, before walking off to the edge of the dock. As they did so, the next contestant came in flying, a large orange Pokémon, whose tail was lit up with large burning flames.

"Charizard!" Mew yelled, slamming the Fire type onto the wooden dock with a thud as he arrived, his anger at its maximum level, pink psionic energy radiating around him. "You're supposed to take a Wailord! Can you get a clue!"

"Sorry!" Charizard said sheepishly, as Mew released his hold on him. "I guess if I was gonna fly in, I should've come late, right?"

"Yep..." Mew said, eyebrows furrowed, his tail pointing to the end of the docks. "Go over THERE, Charizard. Away from me..."

Charizard rubbed his right claw on the back of his head, walking over to the other side of the dock, keeping sure that his tail flame didn't torch anything. He decided to go next to Quilava, and stand there, since the fire mouse was the quietest Pokémon thus far.

Mew watched the fire lizard walk over there, hoping he wouldn't burn anything, when suddenly, he heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the sky, from the milky white clouds. He frowned, his eyes narrowing, was this going to be yet another helicopter?

"The hell is going on?" Granbull asked, her face worried, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Is Mew gonna get mad again?"

"From what I've seen of him," Carbink said, etching some calculations into the ground. "That would be a very much yes."

The buzzing grew louder, until something descended rapidly from the sky, moving at really high speeds. It began to go even faster still, tearing through the sky, headed straight for the dock. Mew looked closer and groaned, recognizing the blur as an actual contestant.

"Why can't I have a smoothly running show?!" He cried out, wishing Mewtwo was with him. "Is that too much to ask for?!"

In response to his question, the sky sent the contestant crashing into the dock, skidding across the dock, yet stopping at Mew's feet. Vibrava gave an apologetic grin as she stated up at Mew, before cursing herself. She still wasn't any good at flying, despite the practice she had hoped to gain by flying here herself...

Still, the look on Mew's face alone told her that she probably shouldn't be sticking around Mew much longer. A sheepish grin on her face, she walked away on her legs, hurrying as fast as she could over to the other contestants.

Mew, still pretty furious, was about to go after her, but was stopped by a sight he had waited all too long for. The final Wailord had appeared over the horizon, carrying an Ivysaur, who was indeed the last contestant Mew had been waiting for.

As the Wailord stopped at the dock, Mew waved happily at him as the final contestant hopped off, cradling a potted plant with her vines as she walked carefully, giving a grin to Mew as she walked up to him.

"Hi there, Mew!" Ivysaur said, extending another one of her vines to shake his head. "I'm really glad that you chose me to be a part of the show!"

"Well, thanks!" Mew said, pleasantly pleased that she not only came on a Wailord, but offered to shake his hand. "I'm glad that you'r-" He was cut off, as Ivysaur bent down to look at a barnacle, wedged in the middle of a crack in the wooden dock.

"I can't believe it!" She was saying, looking curiously at the barnacle, setting her plant aside for the moment. "This is one of the rarest species of barnacles that can be found in this area! Oh man, I wish I had a magnifying glass right now!"

"Um, okay..." Mew said, just happy that his waiting was finally over. "I'm never going to have this many contestants again..." Seeing that all the Pokémon were assembled and mingling, Mew decided to shift their attention to back to him.

"Allright campers!" He called out, making sure all eyes were on him before continuing. "Follow me to the campgrounds where we'll be meeting up with Mewtwo and beginning the first challenge!"

He floated off the dock and onto the island where the competition would soon begin, the other Pokémon following closely behind.

Mew smirked inside the room shaped like a Pokéball.

"Another reason for me making this room was so that the campers can confess their feelings on the stuff going on around them!" He said, giggling. "It'll make for much better dirt on them."

His expression turned thoughtful. "I wonder if I could get Mewtwo to use it.."

Dragonite, Totodile, and Mimikyu were walking together among the others, each having found some new friendship with the other. They were a pretty oddball group though, differing greatly in types and sizes.

"What do you guys think that the challenge for today will be?" Totodile asked his newfound friends, giving them his biggest grin.

Dragonite shrugged, smiling back at Totodile. "I just hope that it doesn't involve anything with gracefulness, or anything like that. I... kinda tend to be a bit clumsy at times."

Mimikyu giggled a bit, his cloth rippling as he did so. "Yeah, we kinda got that impression after you slipped on the deck, and barreled into Mew."

Dragonite sheepishly rubbed the back of his forehead, smiling, as the other two giggled at his expression

"I like these guys." Dragonite said, smiling. "I really do. Back home, I didn't have a lot of friends because of my clumsiness. Most people said I wouldn't amount to anything. Well, look at me now! I have friends! Friends!"

Dragonite sniffed the air. "Is this a bathroom?"

As the friends were laughing at Dragonite's expression, however, Granbull pushed by both Totodile and Mimikyu stomping off, throwing a look of disdain at them. She then focused on where Mew was taking them, attempting to look ahead.

Dragonite had an irritated look on his face, eyes narrowed as he began to stomp off after Granbull, but a small hand stopped him, its touch holding him back with a grasp of his arm. "What are you doing?" He asked, turning around to the one who was holding him back.

"It's okay, big guy," Braixen said, her hand still laying on Dragonite's arm, giving him a soft smile. "She's not worth it, and I'm sure you don't want enemies this early into the game."

Dragonite sighed to himself, still watching Granbull, before nodding, seeing her point. "You're right, I guess... Thanks for helping me out, Braixen!"

"It's no problem, really!" Braixen said, giving Dragonite a beautiful smile. "Most times, I don't need a reason to help someone out."

"Wait just a gosh darn minute..." Mimikyu muttered, thoughts running through his head. "That's a girl?!" He exclaimed, sending the others into hysterics. And all the while, Dragonite couldn't help but notice that Braixen had such a wonderful laugh...

"Braixen is pretty cool!" Totodile exclaimed, sitting on the toilet of the confessional. "She seems pretty, kind, basically a good friend! Although I think Dragonite might want her as more than that..."

"And why in Arceus's name is this a bathroom?!"

Mimikyu jumped up and down on the toilet, his excitement present in his actions.

"Braixen seems nice, really nice even, but I'm more interested in this challenge that'll be today! How will it go?! No one knows!"

Mimikyu then fell into the toilet, slipping in as he landed from one of his jumps. "Ah, God, no!"

Dragonite blushed heavily, his orange cheeks turning a dark tomato red.

"I'm not in love with Braixen!" He said, still blushing. "I just met her! How could I be in love with her beautiful smile, her wonderful laugh, and her twinkling eyes..."

Braixen smiled brightly at the camera, sitting in the confessional. "Dragonite is so sweet!" She said, twirling her stick, a small ember burning on one end of it.

"I really hope he'll accept me as his friend!"

Quilava sighed as he walked along with the group, Umbreon slowly coming up beside him.

"What's up," Umbreon said quietly, looking at the Fire type from the corner of his left eye.

"Nothing man." Quilava said, not paying much attention to Umbreon. "Just bummed about how I'll probably be voted off by the first episode."

"Come on." Umbreon responded, a slight motivational tone in his voice. "You should have more pride in yourself. Accomplish what you can accomplish."

Then the Dark Pokémon walked off, leaving Quilava a bit confused.

Quilava had a puzzled look on his face, looking down at the floor.

"No one's ever been like that to me. They've just accepted me for the slacker they thought I was and left me. Man, maybe I could wind up with at least one friend. If I'm lucky. Which I'm not..."

Umbreon shrugged, looking into the camera.

"The guy just needs a boost. He's a starter, which means he could accomplish a lot. So I just gave him a boost. Consider it my good deed for the day."

Making sure that the campers were still following him, Mew stopped in front of two shoddy run-down cabins, relieved that Mewtwo was there as well, his grumpy frown still intact. Judging by his stature, the other legendary had been waiting here for quite a while, a newly freshened up Stunky by his side.

"Mewtwo!" Mew said, genuinely glad to see his co-host. All those contestants arriving really wore him out. "How did the Stunky chase go?"

Mewtwo responded with a low growl, expressing his displeasure with the whole debacle. Mew chuckled at that while Stunky frowned, indignant at the situation, choosing to go stand with the arriving campers.

Turning his attention to the others, Mew decided to grab their attention. "All right everyone!" He started. "Its finally time to get on with Total Pokémon Island! But before we start this challenge, I will divide you guys into teams! Mewtwo, get on with it!"

Mewtwo grumbled and pulled out a wad of paper, rolling it out into a long list, looking down at it. "Marshtomp! Wartortle! Turtwig! Carbink! Quilava! Umbreon! Ledyba! Jellicent! Braixen! Gengar! Aurorus! Bidoof! Mimikyu! Vulpix! Togedemaru! Pinsir! Pikachu! Glaceon!" Mewtwo called out, not bothering to look at the Pokémon he called out. "You guys are the Hopeful Ho-ohs!"

"Empoleon! Charizard! Druddigon! Ivysaur! Zorua! Dragonite! Totodile! Stunky! Farfetch'd! Vibrava! Togekiss! Granbull! Mienshao! Riolu! Wynaut! Starmie! Klefki! Kecleon!" Mewtwo said, addressing the remaining Pokémon. "You all are the Lazy Lugias!"

Members of each of the two teams looked at each other, sizing their teammates up, thinking about how far they would get in the game with the team they had. But there was a problem...

It wouldn't be wrong to say that most of the lazy Lugias were not pleased with their team name, resentment running higher than any other emotion among the team.

"You dare to call me lazy?" Empoleon shouted, his voice being the first to ring.

"Ugh! Just great! Exactly the experience I signed up for!" Called out Charizard, sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"How do you even know that we are lazy?" Starmie objected, still kind of miffed at Mew.

"Yeah! Change our name before I fart on you!" Stunky shouted, loudest of all.

Mewtwo's face had remained smug, enduring every single complaint flung at him. None of it mattered to him. Until Stunky had made his outburst.

"Fine!" He shouted, a bead of sweat forming on his face. "You are all now the Loyal Lugias!"

Stunky sighed, his tail swishing.

"I don't like it when people treat me like a fart bomb. I'm not just stink, ya know? Still, I guess it did pay off here..."

Starmie sighed, the brightness of her red gem dimming.

"I don't wanna admit it, but I'm getting bummed out by the game. It's not as fun as I thought."

Empoleon scoffed, his face absolutely rigid and determined.

"Mew and that co-host better not screw with me on this island. I'm winning those rare candies."

Mew groaned as the Lugias cheered, happy with their new name. Still, he couldn't exactly blame Mewtwo for buckiling.

"Whatever!" He said, smirking, having found a new way to toy with the campers. "Meet at the large cliff that oversees the ocean in 10 minutes! Or you'll become automatically eliminated!"

10 minutes later, a bunch of exhausted Pokémon were huddled on the cliff, panting and wheezing.

"I. Have. Never. Moved. That. Fast." Starmie panted out, her body slouched over.

Mimikyu spoke up from his death bed on the floor, groaning. "Tell me about it."

Others voiced their agreement until Mew started laughing and peering over the cliff and into the ocean, laughing quite hysterically.

The campers all turned to stare at him, some weirded out.

"What's so funny?" Totodile breathed out.

Mew wiped his eyes. "Nothing! It's just that your torture starts here! Your challenge is to jump over this cliff and onto one of the slides waiting for you halfway down! All of them will take you to the target water area, where you're supposed to be! But not all of them are reliable! Haha!"

"And if we miss one of the slides?" Umbreon asked, his tone curious.

"Well, if you can land into the target area, you'll still gain a point for your team! Land outside of the area..." Mew burst out into giggles.

"Okay, you're enjoying this too much," Braixen said, freaked out at the prospect of jumping into the water. "What if we don't want to jump?"

Mew shrugged. "You can chicken out, but I can't guarantee that your teammates will keep you in if they lose the challenge."

Braixen and the other fire types sighed, it seemed like they weren't gonna get out of this easily.

Mew smirked. "Hopeful Ho-ohs! You're up first!"

Okay, so next time, we'll cover the challenge and the elimination ceremony! I believe that this is an improvement over the previous version, but let me know how it compares!

I'd also like to hear what you think of the characters so far, tell me how you're liking them so far! I'll be seeing you guys next time!

Mewtwo: Review, or I'll send Stunky after you.
