*TV static*
"Hello one and all, and welcome to the first ever episode of-"
*More TV static*
The camera comes back on lying on the ground with only 2 large pairs of feet standing on a wooden dock visible in the frame.
"What do you mean the camera stopped working?"
"It stopped working because-"
"No Heatran, I don't care why the camera stopped working, just FIX IT!"
"It's working again," the feet mumbled.
"Wait, really?"
A purple face got into the lens of the camera. It had big yellow eyes with green pupils, and a large grin plastered on beneath them. A yellow circle was on its forehead, placed just between its eyes.
"Sorry about that, but hello and welcome to-"
*Even more TV static followed by a long audible beep*
"Hello one and all to the first ever episode of Total Hoopa Island! I am your host Hoopa, and I am joined by my grouchy co-host Heatran!"
"Fuck off," grunted Heatran, who clearly didn't share Hoopa's enthusiasm.
"Touchy," muttered Hoopa, her excitement momentarily quelled, although her grin returned a second later. "Well I'll bet that all our lovely viewers at home are just dying to know what my beautiful self is doing on their TV screens. Well I'll tell you! Total Hoopa Island is an elimination style competition in which 35 Pokémon compete with each other in various different challenges to win a grand prize of 1 million dollars! Now doesn't that sound exciting Heatran?"
"No."
"What's that Heatran? We should go and meet the campers? Great idea! In fact here comes the first one now!" Hoopa yelled as a rickety wooden boat approached the dock.
The Pokémon riding it was a strange looking one. He hovered onto the shore and cracked a winning smile while its lightning-shaped arms carried an old black bag. He floated over to Hoopa to introduce himself.
"Sup, I'm Rotom. Where can I put my stuff?" asked Rotom.
"You can worry about that later. I hope you have a first aid kit in there, because you're definitely going to need it," snickered Hoopa. Rotom frowned before moving away as another boat came into view.
"Here comes our next victi-contestant! Contestant." Hoopa caught herself at the last second. Heatran grumbled in the background.
A green tortoise-looking Pokémon slowly manoeuvred itself onto the dock. He had a brown shell and a small twig growing out of the top of his head. While most of his head was green, his jaw was yellow. He looked around confused before seeing Hoopa floating above him.
"Uh, hello. I'm Turtwig. I'm here to compete?" Turtwig said while glancing around at the island
"Great to hear! Now step aside. We have more competitors arriving!" Hoopa exclaimed, her voice laced in sarcasm. Turtwig moved away and stood next to Rotom who greeted him with a smile.
Another boat pulled up to the dock, although it looked empty. Confused, Hoopa went over to check a contestant hadn't drowned on the way, but bubbles started to rise up around it. A large splash soon followed when an 8 foot dinosaur emerged from the water, the rickety boat attached around his neck like a scarf, causing Hoopa to jump back in surprise. He smiled shyly and hunched over to try and appear smaller than he actually was, causing Rotom to immediately crack up with laughter.
"I'm T-Tyrantrum." Mumbled the Tyrantrum, blushing furiously at having already embarrassing himself 2 minutes into getting onto the island. Hoopa sighed and told him to stand with the others. The boat was still attached to his neck.
Next up, a red spider with large purple eyes scuttled onto the dock. His legs are yellow and purple, and his fangs are attached to a mouth that was stretched into a cruel smile. A small white horn dripping in venom adorned his head and he introduced himself as Ariados. He scurried over to sit next to Rotom who eyed him warily. Tyrantrum gulped.
"Seems like a swell guy," Rotom muttered to Turtwig, who nodded in agreement.
"Our fifth contestant is on her way! Finally, a girl around here." Said Hoopa, who was eyeing the next boat in glee. From it stepped a pink weasel-looking Pokémon who had a winning smirk over her pretty face. Long pink sleeves covered her arms, and yellow-tipped whiskers complimented her purple eye shadow very well. Upon landing on the dock, she covered her face with one of her sleeves and introduced herself.
"I'm Mienshao." She said, carrying her bag over to stand next to Tyrantrum, who gave her a nervous, but warm smile.
"We're moving fast! Contestant number 6 is pulling up now!" Hoopa enthusiastically yelled. Heatran again grumbled in annoyance.
The next boat to pull up had a Pokémon equally as grouchy as Heatran riding on it. He stomped onto the dock with his battered briefcase in his hand. He was yellow with black lightning coating his fur, and had two antennae poking out the sides of his head. He lashed his tail out at Heatran who narrowed his eyes threateningly at the newcomer. Mienshao giggled- he was cute.
"I'm Electabuzz. Don't talk to me."
"Aw, Electabuzz, don't be such a stick in the mud. Lighten up a little." Laughed an equally menacing looking Pokémon that flitted around behind him. He was a dark green colour with red eyes around the sides of his head, and equally red spots going down the rest of his dragonfly-shaped body. He had 2 pairs of wings as well as another smaller pair at the end of his tail.
"Don't mind him, he's just a grouch. Great guy when you get to know him though. Oh right! I'm Yanmega, great to meet you all, where should I put my bag?" Yanmega said quickly while buzzing around the dock, taking in the new sights and sounds, constantly moving around from one thing to the next.
While Yanmega was talking avidly to everyone on the dock, another boat pulled up. Hopping onto the dock was a purple cat, with a yellow underside. Yellow rounded triangles were scattered on her purple fur, and her tail was slightly curled at the end. Her deep green eyes were surrounded by a layer of pink that went up into her ears. Yellow pointed whiskers protruded from her face as she smiled cleverly and slunk over to stand next to Mienshao.
"Liepard. You?" Liepard asked.
"Mienshao." She said, smiling as she glanced sideways at Liepard.
By now Yanmega had stopped buzzing around everywhere and had settled on the end of the dock next to Electabuzz. Both of their eyes widened as another large dragonfly landed on the dock. They could both tell that this girl meant business.
"Hello, I am Flygon. I hope you will all be good competition." Flygon said. Her words were polite, but her tone was competitive. Her eyes were confident as they analysed her fellow competitors behind their red covers. Two long green antennae stretch back on the top of her head, and huge, green wings with a red trim extended from her back. She was primarily light green in colour, and a large tail with darker green stripes stretched out behind her, tipped with a fan of triangles that resemble her own wings. She walked over to the end of the dock and settled down next to Electabuzz, who crossed his arms and snorted.
Mienshao frowned. Flygon looked tough, pretty and smart- the total package! She was going to be stiff competition, that's for sure.
"Ouch. That girl looks TOUGH. Don't you agree Heatran?" Hoopa said, nudging Heatran with her elbow.
"I don't care."
"Heatran why did you even agree to be on this show if you're just going to be a grouch the whole time?"
"I got bills to pay," Heatran explained tiredly. Hoopa rolled her eyes before they lit up in excitement again as another boat came into view.
"Our 10th arrival, Whimsicott everyone!" Hoopa cheered as Whimsicott floated down next to her. She grinned and floated over to Heatran who glared down at the grass type menacingly, his face appearing much larger from below. She snickered before turning around to show him her fluff. Confused he studied her back closer before jumping back in alarm as a face dived out of her endless fuzz and onto Heatran's nose.
The new arrival cackled and fell back onto the dock, bashing his fist against the wooden ground along with a hysterical Whimsicott. He was purple and had bright diamonds for eyes. His head was much bigger than his comparatively small body, and a ruby sapphire and emerald were each cemented into his back. Two pointy ears stick out the sides of his head, and he has a grin rivalling Hoopa's etched onto his face.
"Contestant number 11, Sableye! I have a good feeling about this one, don't you Heatran?" Hoopa giggled.
"I have never hated anyone more in my life," Heatran seethed, but he held himself back. He had bills to pay, and killing a contestant would get him fired. Even if he was already dead. Fuckin' ghosts.
As Sableye and Whimsicott settled down and stood on the dock, another boat arrived. A green bird with what appeared to be tribal patterns on its body glided onto the dock. She scanned over all the competitors with an emotionless gaze, finally resting on Rotom who was making conversation with Sableye and Whimsicott. Rotom shuddered uncomfortably under her scrutiny. She fluttered over to the end of the line without saying a word, and started staring mindlessly out into the ocean. Liepard, who had been standing near her, moved a few steps away, not wanting to be associated with the weirdo.
"Not much of a talker are you?" Whimsicott said, bouncing around the bird curiously, who just continued to idly look out to sea. Shrugging, she bounded away to continue talking to Sableye.
"Yeah that's Xatu. Her audition tape was her just staring ominously at the camera. So we decided to take her on!" Hoopa said, chipper as ever. "But enough about her, lucky number 13 is on his way over now!"
As Hoopa said this, a light could be seen approaching the dock. It was a ghostly purple flame flickering in the daylight. It hopped onto the dock and a beaming candlestick could be seen beneath the flame.
"Hi-hi-hi everyone! My name's Litwick. I sure do hope we can be friends while we're on this island!" the little wax Pokémon said to the campers. Ariados sneered while Mienshao giggled at him from behind her sleeve. Tyrantrum and Turtwig on the other hand greeted Litwick with a smile and introduced themselves to him.
While Litwick began chatting with Tyrantrum and Turtwig, another raft pulled up to the dock. This one held a blue Pokémon that looked like a mixture between a weasel and an otter on it. 2 pointed white whiskers came out of each cheek in a V shape, and small black ears rested on the Pokémon's head. A tuft of fur came out of the top of his head, and a yellow shell rested on each of his thighs. He walked with an air of confidence about him as he walked over to Hoopa.
"Hey, I'm Dewott. I got a letter saying that I was accepted to take part in your TV show but I-" Dewott began asking but he was cut off.
"Yeah sure, sure whatever. I want to start torturing you as fast as possible, so just go stand over there." Hoopa brushed him off as he moved to stand next to Yanmega. He flashed Dewott a smile which he gladly returned.
While this interaction occurred, another boat pulled up to the dock. Aboard it was an Altaria, with white cotton-like wings tucked into its equally fluffy body. A chirpy blue head emerged and gave a warm smile to all the campers, before introducing herself to Hoopa.
"Hello, I'm Altaria. I hope to compete with integrity, and I hope that all of you will as well" Altaria said, before fluttering over to stand next to Tyrantrum.
What Altaria failed to realise however was that she wasn't alone on the boat she came in. Emerging from the same wooden boat was a small pink kitten carrying a patchwork bindle with her tail. She cocked her head to the side as she crawled onto the dock and looked up at Hoopa.
"Uh, who are you? I don't remember accepting any kittens into the competition," Hoopa asked, confused.
"I'm Skitty! I was living on that boat until some stupid bird came and stole it. So now I'm here!" Skitty explained, her tail swinging from side to side. Altaria was going to speak up to that, but she was cut off by Hoopa's groan.
"Ok, look kid I'm trying to run a show here. That boat brought one of my campers to the island. You're not even supposed to be here!" Hoopa replied, exasperated.
Skitty furrowed her brow before her face lit up.
"Hey, what do you get if you win this game?"
"A million dollars" piped up Rotom from the dock. Hoopa shot him a glare which he returned with a sheepish smile. Skitty snapped her fingers.
"So if I just win this show I can buy my boat back! Thanks guy," Skitty said glancing over at Rotom.
"But-you-can't-jus-" Hoopa sputtered, but Skitty was too busy chasing her tail to listen. Groaning, Hoopa turned to Heatran who was already smirking at her.
"Shut up"
Amidst all the commotion, 3 more campers had arrived. The first was a cocky looking green lizard wearing a clever smile as he waltzed onto the dock. He put down his suitcase and leaned against it, settling down next to Litwick.
"I'm Snivy. How 'bout you?' Snivy asked the candle Pokémon.
"I'm Litwick. Great to meet you friend!" Litwick replied, smiling at the grass type. He smirked back with a glint in his eye.
"Yeah… You too."
The second walked past Hoopa and Skitty and settled on the end of the dock. He was covered in metal spikes and had 3 green vines coming out of his steel body. Green thorns sprout out of his vines, each one capped off with a round end tipped in spikes. Yellow eyes looked around warily as he tried to avoid talking to anyone. Alas it was not meant to be, as the third flapped right over to him.
"HELLO MY NAME IS ARCHEN WHAT IS YOURS?" Archen said in an obnoxiously loud voice, making everyone around him visibly cringe.
"Fe-Ferrothorn" Ferrothorn answered, taken aback by Archen's… everything.
"WOW I SURE AM GLAD I'M NOT AS UGLY AS HIM, RIGHT LIEPARD"
"Please leave me alone"
Ferrothorn narrowed his eyes at that, but sighed. He knew it was true. That didn't mean he had to point it out…
By this point, Hoopa had given up with the stowaway and was back to greeting the campers. As she turned around, the twentieth contestant walked up the dock. He had a squat red body with long flaming eyebrows, vaguely resembling some kind of ape. He showed of his spiked teeth in a cool smile, and his arms were much bigger than his comparatively small legs.
"Darmanitan! Good to have you dude," Hoopa said, done with trying to get Skitty to leave. She was here to stay unfortunately.
"Hey it's great to be here. Hope you're ready for me, because I-"
"Am going to win." Finished the next contestant as he walked onto the dock. He was tall and he was SCARY. His body was made up of purple and violet segments, one after the other leading up to the blue portion of his pointed eyes. He had long arms with sharp white claws coming out the end of them, and his tail stretched out behind, his stinger moving from side to side. He wore a cruel expression on his face as he walked to the end of the dock to stand next to Ariados.
"Drapion. Don't forget it." He grunted. Electabuzz and Flygon narrowed their eyes at the poison type. Darmanitan however just snorted and stood next to Dewott. He wasn't going to let this guy get under his skin.
The next Pokémon to arrive was a cutie. She was small with black fur covering her head and neck, peaking in a horn on the top. After the black fur stopped at the base of her neck, her body was blue and she stood excitedly on four legs, her stubby tail swishing back and forth. Deino raced onto the island, ready to get the show started. She settled down next to Turtwig.
"Contestant number 23, Scrafty everyone!"
"Yeah whatever. Where's the bathroom at? I gotta take a piss" The Scrafty responded. Hoopa gave him a deadpan look before he shrugged and shuffled over to stand next to Rotom.
"Sup" Rotom said, eager to avoid catching Archen's eye.
"Not much. How many contestants are gonna be here? This dock's gonna break if another one of those fatasses gets on," Scrafty jerked his head at Ferrothorn, who just sighed again. Rotom laughed.
"I dunno man. I think they said 35 Pokémon overall, so like 12 more? I just want to start this shit already."
Scrafty smirked at that and looked to the next boat that arrived. His grin faded when he saw a small green Pokémon hop out of it. She had a bunch of red roses on one arm, and blue ones on the other. Her hair was also shaped like a rose and it coloured white. A dark green cape fluttered behind her as she stepped past the others. Scrafty narrowed his eyes at the Roserade- there was something about her that rubbed him the wrong way. She caught his look and returned it with a flirtatious wink, which only made him even more wary of the girl.
From above, a small bird Pokémon fluttered down to join the rest of the campers. He looked around, confused, before hopping over to Hoopa.
"So is this the resort?" The bird asked, the fluffy down around his head swaying with the wind.
"Uh, no dude. This is Total Hoopa Island. You're a contestant here remember? You know, competition of a lifetime, chance to win a million dollars, brutal challenges?" Hoopa replied, confused by the eaglet's question.
"What? Big brother Braviary told me that this was an all-expense paid vacation to the battle resort! He wouldn't have lied would he?" Rufflet asked. Hoopa burst out laughing, so Heatran waddled over to explain his situation.
…
"So what you're saying is I'm NOT staying in a 5 star hotel in Hoenn?"
"YES KID. NOW GO WAIT WITH THE OTHERS BEFORE I KICK YOU THERE YOU SON OF A BITCH" Heatran roared. Rufflet squawked and tumbled over to hide behind Deino. She shot him a sympathetic look. Poor guy had no idea what he'd gotten himself into.
Floating down the dock was a huge face made of ice. He had two black horns sprouting from the top of his body, and his eyes were a light blue in colour, in contrast to the rest of his black and white body. Hoopa greeted him with a sugar-coated smile.
"Hello Glalie, and welcome to Total Hoopa Island! How do you feel about being here?"
Glalie smirked and stuck his nose (if he had one) in the air.
"I feel like I'm going to win! Nothing can beat the power of my Mega Evolution! It'll blow all these losers away when I transform into Mega-Glalie!" He proclaimed. Snivy rolled his eyes.
"Maybe he'll transform himself some arms too," Snivy lamented. Most of the campers cracked a grin at that one, while Glalie just huffed and hovered over near to Ferrothorn.
The next two campers to arrive were both ground types. One was a short blue elephant with what looked like an orange plaster decorating his trunk. The other was a mole with some dark blue stripes in his otherwise black fur. He has 2 large hands and a pair of headphones plugged into his ears.
"Contestants 27 and 28, Phanpy and Drilbur!" Hoopa announced. Phanpy beamed and nodded before settling down near Rufflet and Deino. Drilbur smiled and followed Phanpy over to the edge of the dock.
Emerging from the ocean was the next contestant, who seemed to be a cross between a cat and a mermaid. She had a blue webbed collar around her neck and 3 fins coming out of her head. A mermaid tail fell behind her as she shook herself off on the wooden deck. She introduced herself as Vaporeon and positioned herself in between Snivy and Litwick.
The next boat brought two more contestants to the island. The first was a blue dinosaur with a stubby tail poking out the back of her body. Her long neck lead into a pair of large, deep blue eyes, and two sails balance above it, their colours starting from yellow and fading into pink. She smiled and trotted over to sit next to Phanpy, who blushed at the sight of such a pretty girl choosing to sit next to him.
She was accompanied by a petite Pokémon that looked like she was wearing a tutu. Green hair fell down from her head to her shoulders, and two rounded horns poke out from her head. She walked down the dock on thin green legs before stopping and standing next to Skitty.
The kitten in question was sitting on the dock glancing furtively around at the other campers, when another boat pulled up to the dock. This one had a small grey chinchilla riding it. She had large ears tipped in white fur, with a tuft of grey sticking out of her forehead. Her eyes were big and black, and just below her chin she had another tuft of grey fur. A long grey tail swept the board of the dock as she made her way down towards Skitty.
"Hey how's it going?" Skitty meowed at the new arrival. She smiled back, and was about to reply when Hoopa cut her off.
"Contestants 29-32, Vaporeon, Amaura, Kirlia and Minccino!" She yelled, eager to finish introducing the contestants so that they could explain the rules.
The last 4 boats all pulled up at the same time to the dock. One of the boats had the strangest looking Pokémon yet riding on it- he looked like a floating piece of jelly. Beneath a layer of translucent green material is a small pale head and body, with oval shaped black eyes and a triangular red mouth. Its arms and legs are short and stubby, but going outwards from each arm were 3 different coloured spheres- green to yellow to pink.
"Uhuhuhuhuhey guys I'm Reuniclus. I hope to get to know you all in the game uhuhuhuhuhuh," said Reuniclus in a goofy but well-meaning voice.
"GEE HE SURE SOUNDS WEIRD. I SURE AM GLAD THAT I HAVE A NORMAL VOICE, RIGHT LIEPARD?"
"Archen please leave me alone." Liepard muttered, trying to avoid associating with the prehistoric bird.
Reuniclus frowned at Archen's behaviour, but just floated over to stand near Darmanitan.
The next Pokémon to walk out the boat and onto the island was a Mawile; small with a yellow skirt and huge gaping jaws sticking out the back of her head. She glared meanly at the rest of the campers, but none of them seemed to notice. Mawile looked shocked that she had made almost no impact, then dejected as she slumped over to stand near Kirlia who gave her a consoling pat on the back.
A Lucario stepped out of the boat next. He looked calm, cool and collected as he walked onto the dock. Mienshao looked at him and giggled. Now HE looked hot. He glanced her way, so Mienshao gave him a wink. He was taken aback momentarily before he coughed and continued walking, looking down to try and conceal his blush. Behind him the final competitor arrived on Total Hoopa Island.
A yellow Pokémon bumbled its way onto the dock. She had a white belly and a red orb on her forehead, along with 3 black stripes on her long neck. 2 conical black striped ears poke out of her forehead, and a long yellow tail capped off in a second red orb. Her yellow tail has 3 black stripes, and her arms resemble flippers.
"And the final 3 contestants are Mawile, Lucario and Ampharos! With that, every contestant has arrived on the island, so we can finally get this party started! Now I'm sure that you're all dying to know more about this show, so without further ado, let's get to the campfire area to explain the rules!" Hoopa proclaimed. One or two of the Pokémon gave an excited cheer, but most just mooched around, already tires of their hosts fake enthusiasm.
"Alright campers, I'm going to explain to you the rules of this here TV show, as well as to all our lovely viewers at home! First off, we will divide you into two teams. You will then compete with the other team in a set of gruelling challenges that test your skill, intelligence, physical ability or any other attribute that I find amusing to watch. At the end of a challenge, the losing team has to vote off one of their members to leave the island. FOREVER."
"Now there were supposed to be 35 of you, but thanks to a certain stowaway, we have 36 instead, so we're going to split you into two teams of 18. Eventually the teams will get so small that we'll have to merge them, and then it's every Pokémon for themselves. Heatran, take away the teams will you?" Hoopa said, gesturing to Heatran
"Yeah, yeah I'm on it" Heatran muttered beneath his breath. Remember the bills.
"LISTEN UP YOU LITTLE SHITS," Heatran roared. "I AM GOING TO DIVIDE YOU INTO TWO TEAMS. THE FOLLOWING BITCHES GET IN A LINE TO MY LEFT:
TYRANTRUM
DRAPION
ARIADOS
FERROTHORN
ALTARIA
LIEPARD
KIRLIA
LITWICK
REUNICLUS
ROSERADE
DARMANITAN
AMPHAROS
GLALIE
DEINO
PHANPY
DRILBUR
AMAURA
RUFFLET
YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE MONSTROUS MILOTICS. THE REST OF YOU GET TO THE RIGHT. MY RIGHT, DI-SABLEYE YOU CRYSTAL CUNT. REMAINING BITCHES:
FLYGON
SCRAFTY
XATU
ROTOM
MIENSHAO
ARCHEN
WHIMSICOTT
SABLEYE
ELECTABUZZ
YANMEGA
MINCCINO
VAPOREON
SNIVY
LUCARIO
MAWILE
TURTWIG
SKITTY.
YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE GENTLE GYARADOS."
Vaporeon frowned.
"That's a pretty pathetic name" she whispered to Snivy, who smirked. But Heatran noticed.
"ARE YOU SASSING ME YOU FINNED FAGGOT? I WILL TAKE THAT BACKTALKING LIP AND SHOVE A POLE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS I COULD USE YOU AS AN UMBRELLA. NOW UNLESS YOU MOVE YOUR AQUA ASS TO YOUR SIDE YOU WILL BE WIPING THIS CAMP CLEAN WITH OUR TOOTHBRUSH. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Heatran bellowed to a petrified Vaporeon. She nodded meekly and rushed onto the Gentle Gyarados' side, where the other campers were stunned by the co-host's speech. Heatran nodded grimly at Hoopa, who grinned and took back over the show.
"So now that that's out the way, I'm sure that you're all eager to film your first confessional. Any questions?"
Mawile raised one of her yellow arms.
"What are the rules regarding mega-evolution?"
Hoopa's grin widened even further.
"I'm glad you asked Mawile. You see, that's where all of you come in. I've hidden 6 mega-stones around the island; a Glalitite, Lucarionite, Altarianite, Mawilite, Sablenite and an Ampahrosite. If you can find them then you can use it whenever you want however you want- pre merge or post merge. HOWEVER- you can only use it once, and then it's GONE. So make sure you choose when to use it wisely. Keep in mind that if someone else finds your mega stone, they're not obliged to give it to you for free. Any other questions?"
"Uh yeah I have one," Ampharos asked.
"What's mega-evolution?"
Every camper turned to look at her, each with a more shocked expression than the last. Lucario looked the most stunned of all, with a slack jaw and his hands hanging loosely by his sides.
"You don't know what mega-evolution is? YOUR SPECIES CAN FUCKING MEGA-EVOLVE!" Screamed Electabuzz, who was embarrassed to share a type with this idiot. Ampharos just looked confused at his outburst rather than taken aback. Lucario sighed and explained.
"Mega-evolution is a way for some Pokémon to go beyond their current form, as long as they have the correct mega-stone and proper training. Your power increases exponentially, but there can be some… side-effects. Your personality when you mega-evolve often changes as well."
Ampharos looked like she was going to ask another question, but Hoopa cut her off.
"So now that all the questions are out of the way, you all get to make your first confessionals of the season! All you have to do is speak your mind on what's been happening on the show so far to a camera so that all our lovely viewers at home can know what you're thinking. Heatran, show them to the confessional please."
Heatran grumbled about bills beneath his breath, but began to stomp in the direction of an old wooden outhouse to the west of the campfire.
#######
Rufflet glanced around the confessional, eyeing the ageing wood with curiosity.
"Well I have no idea what my brother got me into. Braviary if you're watching this I hate you."
He smirked.
"Also I told mom to look under your mattress before I left."
#######
Lucario looked straight down the lens of the camera.
"Well this island seems to be a good place to train. As long as no-one discovers my secret, I should be able to get to the merge and beyond."
He frowned then sighed.
"Although I'm getting weird vibes from that Mienshao- I'll have to stay away from her. And don't even get me STARTED on Ampharos…"
#######
Ampharos sneezed then rubbed her snout sheepishly before returning to her in-the-clouds smile.
"All the Pokémon here seem pretty cool. I still don't really get the whole super evolution thing, but maybe I'll figure it out while I'm here. I kinda just want to chill most of the time, so I'll see how far I get."
#######
Drapion glowered into the camera with his arms folded.
"I'm here to win. I don't give a shit about what any of the other pussies on this island think of me. I'll make an alliance to get myself further in this game, then ditch 'em when I can. And any deadweight on my team?"
Drapion twists around and slashes the side of the confessional.
"Is getting cut."
#######
Altaria examined the gash in the confessional wall and gulped.
"Well apart from whoever left THAT, most of my fellow competitors seem fairly likeable. As for the hosts, Hoopa seems alright most of the time. Heatran however…"
Altaria gulped again.
#######
"Winning, being an ass to Heatran and playing guitar- that's what I'm planning to do this season." Snivy smirked.
"And maybe get lucky too."
#######
Yanmega flitted around the confessional rapidly.
"Super pumped to be here. Everyone seems so chill man, but like, they better watch out for Yanmega, because I'm in it to win it! I dig my team, but Flygon seems waaaay too serious."
#######
"Dude, I'm totally an underdog. No-one will suspect Deino, then when they least expect it BAM! I win a million dollars! Sure, Hoopa's an ass, but that won't stop me from climbing to the top!"
Deino fell off the toilet snorting in laughter.
#######
Mienshao covered a crafty smirk with one of her sleeves and looks sideways at the camera.
"This competition shouldn't be too difficult; just lay low until the merge, then win a cool million. But that's not the only thing I plan on doing here- I want to see what's up with that Lucario. He's cute."
#######
Glalie is sweating profusely in the confessional.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit oh shiiiiiit. I bragged to all the others about how strong my mega-form is. BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO MEGA-EVOLVE. I better keep up the act- maybe my team won't ever need me to mega-evolve? God I fucked up."
#######
Ferrothorn sighed.
"Why am I here?"
#######
"Aw man this is great. I'm hoping that I can spread the love around this camp with the power of DANCE! I'm thinking it's gonna be pretty tense most of the time with the whole 'ONE OF YOU CAN NEVER RETURN' thing, but I wanna lighten the mood around camp with my sweet moves."
Litwick grooved out of the confessional.
#######
Electabuzz leaned against the wall of the outhouse.
"Man this blows. I'm stuck in this shitty camp on an island in the middle of fucking nowhere, with a bunch of Pokémon I don't even know."
Electabuzz exhaled slowly.
"Well my team seems alright at least. I've got Yanmega, and that Flygon chick seems alright too. I might learn to enjoy myself here
…
Yeah right."
#######
Ariados chuckled.
"Kekekekekekekekekekeke"
Ariados fell in the toilet.
#######
Amaura smiled.
"Unlike the rest of this modern age, this island is still abundant with nature! I'm finally out of that metal jungle they call a settlement in this era- Jurassic times were the best times! Well since I'm here anyway, I might as well try to win! Although Phanpy keeps looking at me funny."
#######
"I plan on playing this game right- no alliances, no cheating and no losing. But there are more ways than just that to win; scheming, lying, blackmail, throwing plans out for twists and turns-finding those mega-stones is just the first step."
Roserade smiled a sinister smile.
"After all, if there's no rule against it, I can exploit it."
#######
Skitty stood on the toilet seat, her bindle over her shoulder, looking away from the camera at something in the distance woefully.
"Don't you worry boat- I'll avenge you!"
She then spied her tail and started chasing it.
#######
Tyrantrum struggled trying to fit his head into the confessional with a wooden boat still attached to his neck. He sighed and gave up, sulking away from the outhouse in defeat.
#######
Sableye jittered in the confessional, his hands on his cheeks.
"D-d-dude these Pokémon are WILD! I mean the show's gonna be tough, but I'm hoping to just prank the shit out of these guys. Me and Whimsicott got Heatran HARD on that dock!"
Sableye collapsed into a heap of giggles, hitting the ground with his fist at the memory
#######
"I'm going to win this thing! I've got the smarts, the speed and the skills to make it to the top! I just hope people take me seriously- most people write me off as just another pretty face, but I'll prove them all wrong!" Kirlia said, a fiery determination burning in her eyes.
#######
Mawile stood in the confessional practicing her threatening face. She looked down at the camera and her eyes widened.
"Oh shit, is this rolling?"
#######
Whimsicott floated around in the confessional.
"I think I can get pretty far in this game- I'm not an idiot. I can tell when people are trying to manipulate me."
She folded her arms with a proud smile on her face.
"Plus I've got a couple tricks up my sleeve myself."
A crowbar fell out of Whimsicott's fluff.
#######
"Heatran is terrifying," Vaporeon shivered in the confessional.
"That aside, I'm liking my team- Flygon, Electabuzz and Lucario look like they're going to be huge assets. And anyone that can mega-evolve is a huge advantage. Still, if I can stay FAR away from Heatran, I should be alright."
#######
"I don't know about this man. I was first to arrive, so I've got a pretty good impression of everyone. Scrafty seems pretty chill, but some of these guys just look straight up MEAN," Rotom shuddered.
"Still though, I'll try to get as far as possible. Who knows? Ya boy might walk away with the gold!"
#######
Dewott folded his arms and looked down the camera lens.
"I'm honoured to take part in this competition- it should be an interesting experience. That being said, I don't plan on holding back. I'm a strong player on my own, and with a good team to back me up, it should be smooth sailing to the top."
#######
Darmanitan frowned in the confessional.
"Y'know I'm normally pretty upbeat, but my team has got me down. I'm fine with most of them, but that Drapion guy seems like a real son of a bitch."
Darmanitan's frown evaporated into a confident grin.
"But I won't let him stop me from having a great time. Darmanitan's here to WIN! POW!"
#######
"MAN I THINK EVERYONE HERE LIKES ME," Archen squawked. "MOST PEOPLE LIKE ME ANYWAY THOUGH. I HAVE GREAT SOCIAL SKILLS. ALSO LIEPARD IS REALLY HOT."
#######
Liepard's eye twitched in the confessional.
#######
Phanpy snuffled around the outhouse.
"Hey I'm real happy to be here. My friend bet me $10 that I wouldn't get in. Shows what you know, Zigzagoon! But since I AM here, I'm going all the way. No distractions."
Phanpy blushed and sighed.
"But Amaura sure is pretty."
#######
"Uhuhuhuhuhuhuh gee I can't believe I'm really here," Reuniclus snorted. "I'm going to do my best for my team. I may not look it on the outside, but I'm pretty good at coming up with strategies. Those Gyarados better not count me out, because I'm here to stay!"
#######
"I don't think the Milotics are too big a threat. The one I'm worried about? Roserade. Something about that chick bothers me."
Scrafty paused to think.
"Maybe it's the hair?"
#######
Drilbur was rocking out in the confessional. He paused and took out one of his earphones.
"My plan? I don't have one. Just kinda go with the flow I guess. I don't work too well with others though, so I'm not sure how long I'll last."
Drilbur shrugged.
"Whatever."
#######
Flygon stared down the camera, a steely resolve burning behind her red goggles.
"Winning. That's what I'm here for. My one aim is to walk off this island with that million dollars. The Gyarados are going to dominate this competition- and so will I."
#######
Minccino looked both ways and grinned.
"This game's going to be easier than I thought! My team is INSANE! We're talking, Flygon, Yanmega, Electabuzz, Lucario, Mienshao- heck, even Whimsicott!" Minccino said, counting them off her fingers.
"But they better not sleep on me; I may not be the most athletic, but I can think outside the box!"
Minccino stood on the toilet seat and pointed to the stars.
"I'm going all the way to the top!"
#######
Turtwig nodded his head up and down.
"Yeah, I'm screwed. I'm on DRAPION'S TEAM. You know what he could do to me?"
He shuddered at the thought.
#######
Xatu stared ominously at the camera.
*Static*
AN: Ok so I'll give myself a quick introduction. I'm Electric Camelot and this is my first ever fanfiction. I don't know how well this is gonna go but hey, you don't know unless you try. Feel free to review, and tell me what you think! Favourite camper, least favourite, predictions on who's going to win etc. I wanna know. I tried to give each character a distinct personality, but I don't really think I did them all justice this chapter. For example, I think a lot of the NFEs have similar characters right now. In any case, I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter, and stick around for the rest of them!
