I ran out of Random Fun facts for this story :P
Total Drama Pokerific
Chapter 1: A Strange New Cast
A camera flickered on showing a sunny island with lots of radiant flora. To the center was a dock with a man on it. The man was checking himself out with a mirror.
"Mr. McLean, uhh, we're rolling." Spoke the person behind the camera.
"What? You were supposed to give me a signal! Man I knew we should have stuck with the same interns instead of you newbies." Chris fumed as he composed himself." Welcome again viewers, and hello to all the new watchers to the next biggest thing since our previous biggest thing to hit the screens! We are back with a whole new cast for another drama filled, humor induced, pain delivering season of the show you can't get enough of. This time however we are hosting twenty seven unique individuals. Strange alien like cartoony versions of animals and inanimate objects called Pokémon! Yeah sure I was as surprised as you when I was told about this new cast but hey, I'm getting paid more than double so who cares, I get to torture a new bunch of poor misguided, err, aspiring contestants as they strive to win the ultimate prize!"
"This season's winner will earn one million Pokedollars, a whole year's supply of Poffins, and a Luxury ball to live in the coziest five-star housing available, brought to you by Pokecorp. Pokecorp, your number one producer of Pokémon related goods. Get Pokecorp goods now!" Relayed Chris in an advertisement voice.
"Who are these fresh contestants? What drama and challenges will this show provide? And how can I dream of understanding their language? Who knows?! You're about to find out because this is Total Drama Pokerific!"
(Cue Pokémon/Total Drama crossed over theme song)
"I wanna be the very best like no one ever was!" Sang Chris enthusiastically with the theme song.
"Mr. McLean, you're on air sir!" Reminded the cameraman.
"You incompetent piece of…!" Chris raged." Welcome back viewers! I just learned something, never hire a Gallade as a cameraman. Anyway, on with the show. Here come the first group of contestants right now!"
A boat pulled up and a weasel jumped and spun midair as he landed on the dock. He had a buoy around his neck.
"Well, our contestants are not short on enthusiasm, hey Buizel!" Welcomed Chris brightly.
"Yo Chris! I'm psyched to be here, I bet its going to be tons of fun!" Cheered the weasel Pokémon.
Another Pokémon was descending the boat, this one chose to do so elegantly and calmly. A serpent-like Pokémon slithered gracefully towards' the dock with her head held high.
"Dragonair, I hope you had a pleasant ride because its probably going to be the last one for a while." Snickered Chris.
"I'm sure of that Chris, but do not worry, I do not get agitated easily." She spoke fluently." Unlike her."
She was referring to the Pokémon who was coming down after her, in a less lady-like manner, and not as calmly.
"Grrr! You call that a boat ride?! If I'd spent one more minute up there I would have bitten the driver's head off." Roared the angry looking fish.
"Carvanha, you promised to keep your anger in check." Reminded Chris.
"Can it McLean!" She snapped.
Meanwhile another serpent was making his way down the dock, this one was green and was clearly a snake.
"Serperior, I bet you'll feel right at home here in the island, all grass types are sure to enjoy it right?" Spoke Chris.
"Hello Chris, yes the island is appealing." He replied as he inspected his surroundings.
"Bouffallant shit! The island is stupid, now when can I get my money?" Barked Carvanha.
"My word! Is she still going at it? I say, I am quite appalled at your manners!" Gasped an opulent looking Pokémon with a monocle that was slowly making her way down the boat.
"I hope the island looks good enough for you Madame." Butt-kissed Chris.
"Wormadam, and indeed the location is a trifle pleasing to the eye. Well done Sir Chris, or do you go by Duke?" The Pokémon with a cloak of grass and white flowers spoke.
"Duke? Are we not pushing it a bit?" Interrupted Dragonair.
"Shush, duke is great! You may call me Duke from now on." Instructed Chris snidely.
The next boat also had five contestants on it. The first off was a big bug of sorts, flying slightly above ground level. She had six bright red wings and a wide abdomen.
"Hey y'all, La Volcarona is in da house, ready to bring the dough." She waved.
"Hey Volcarona! The island needed some lusciousness." Complimented Chris.
"Mmhm. It sho did homie." She replied confidently.
"Oops. Sorry mister dock." Said a meek voice from the end of the dock.
A floating door chime tripped on the dock as she was going down it.
"Chimecho, you need some help there?" Asked Chris amused.
A sunflower then ran out hastily from the boat to Chimecho.
"Oh dear me, are you alright honey? You need to be more careful, we don't want you to get a booboo." Spoke the worried sunflower.
"I'm sure she's alright Sunflora." Assured Chris.
A red lizard with flame at the tip of his tail was snickering at the hapless girl. Then a large bulky iceberg creature pushed him with one of his stubby feet, the lizard face planted the dock.
"No laugh at pain." Grunted the Iceberg gruffly.
"You shouldn't have pushed him." Frowned Serperior.
"He push girl first." Answered the iceberg simply.
"That right Charmeleon?" Asked Chris.
"No I didn't! I'm a good guy, I don't hurt people." Pretended the fire lizard.
"Lawd hammercy." Prayed Volcarona.
"Man, these guys sure are more stereotypical than the previous cast!" Mused Chris to himself as the next boat showed up.
A Pokémon zoomed out of it on skates as he rolled down the dock. He came to a halt in front of Dragonair and Serperior.
"You wanna know what the hottest new trend is? Roller blades! Get them now, and be with the cool crowd!" He flipped on his head and did a pose.
"Um, no thanks." Replied Serperior gently.
"I believe we would need feet to skate." Continued Dragonair unimpressed.
"Hitmontop dude, you can't use skates on the island unless I tell you to in a challenge." Warned Chris.
"Its cool. They're just for show, ya know, to fit with what's what and when's when.
"What, when? Huh." Floated Chimecho by them confused.
"Exactly!" Replied Hitmontop.
A Beagle with a pointy hat like projection on his head walking on two legs was carrying a stack of canvas with him as he strolled down the dock when a big Eel stomped past him, knocking him down and scattering the sheets.
"Out of my way loser!" Barked the Eel.
"Eelektross, is there a problem?" Asked Chris.
Said Pokémon was making his way to Chris.
"Yeah I got a problem. Why'd I get to be with a bunch of losers, I am the most popular in town, I should be on a jet." He glared.
"Was the most popular, here you're just as insignificant as the rest of them, for now. If you manage to go further than the first couple of eliminations, maybe you'll be popular." Told Chris.
"You need some help there buddy?" Buizel jogged over to the Beagle who was picking up his sheets.
"No that's alright, thanks!" Spoke the Beagle gently." I just don't want them to get dirty."
"What are they for?" He asked as he helped him.
"Painting. I love to paint." Replied the canine Pokémon.
"Smeargle, you do remember you can't use those for the challenges unless I specify so." Reminded Chris familiarly.
"De ja vu!" Voiced Volcarona.
"De ja who?" Asked Chimecho as she continued to float everywhere with no purpose.
"I know Chris, these are just for my leisure, they're the only luggage I brought." Replied Smeargle.
Everyone ignored Smeargle as someone took everyone's breathe as they made their way down the dock. Buizel whistled with wide eyes.
"Well is any one of you boys willing to help a poor little damsel like me? I don't make much of a land Pokémon." Spoke a blue fish Pokémon with dazzling half-lidded fuchsia eyes as she apparently had trouble making her way down the dock.
Buizel dropped the sheets he was carrying for Smeargle and ran towards her. Serperior quickly slithered to her side as well.
"Allow me miss." Bowed Serperior.
"No way, I wanna help her." Joined Buizel.
"Boys, boys. Please, there's no reason you both can't help me together." She feigned innocence.
Dragonair frowned at her, if she had arms, she would have clasped them against her chest.
"Lumineon, you sure you can handle being out of the water for the most part?" Questioned Chris.
"Yes Chris, I constantly use Aqua Ring to keep myself hydrated so you don't need to worry, but if you feel that I may have a disadvantage in a challenge, feel free to give me immunity, if there is no other choice of course." She spoke seductively.
"I'll keep that in mind." Chris replied, looking enchanted.
"What? I'm certain there are rules against that." Interjected Dragonair.
"You wanna keep hydrated? Try the freshest thing to hit the world, topless umbrellas! They're stylin, they're hip, they're now. Get them while they're brand new!" Voiced Hitmontop in an exaggerated voice.
"Shut up already!" Barked Carvanha irritatedly.
"You're only four, where's..?" Chris was interrupted.
"Umm hello! Is anyone ever going to escort me down? And where is the red carpet? I demand a red carpet." Fumed a floating pink jellyfish from the top of the boat.
"Oh my! Someone's rather impudent." Spoke Wormadam condescendingly.
"More like delusional!" Corrected Volcarona.
"There won't be any red carpets Frillish, you're an equal to everyone here now. And you are all equal to virtually nothing." Spoke Chris laughingly.
Frillish gasped dramatically." Then I refuse to partake in this ridiculous competition. I order you to take me back to my mansion.
"Too late, the boat's gone!" Smirked Chris." And here comes another one!
As soon as the boat docked two Pokémon came soaring out at top speed. One was a green dog like creature with yellow streaks, he was leaving a trail of electricity behind him. The other was a dragonfly with green wings. The electric one was faster and zoomed past all the contestants, he looked back and made a face at the Dragonfly, but then he slammed right into a tree.
"I win!" The Dragonfly cheered as she landed near the contestants.
"Actually, I do believe he crossed first." Corrected Serperior.
"Oh goodness me, oh dear." Ran Sunflora frantically." Are you alright son? Speak to me. Are you hurt?"
The electric Pokémon shook his head and frowned, ignoring Sunflora.
"What do you mean you won? I clearly made it first." He said to the Dragonfly.
"You're both losers!" Interjected Eelektross.
"I suggest you save your energy Electrike, Vibrava. You're going to need it." Snickered Chris.
"I got lots of energy. I never run out!" Jumped Electrike. He couldn't seem to stand still.
Sunflora ran to him again, she silently started inspecting him for injuries.
"Hey what are you.. I'm fine." Electrike tried to get out of her grasp.
"Oh my, another Sunflora?" Asked the original Sunflora.
"What, no there's one of each Pokémon from the contestants." Pointed out Chris.
They looked at Sunflora number two, she pretended to look worried like Sunflora was.
"That's a Sudowoodo. You can tell because the yellow petals look dull and beige and the leaves are uncharacteristically rigid looking." Informed Smeargle.
The said Sudowoodo snapped his head at the remark, with that the petals fell down revealing in fact he was a fake Sunflora.
"Whoa, how did you know that?" Asked the Electrike.
"I paint every Pokémon I meet, and I've painted many Sunflora, so I know a fake one when I see it." He replied, getting embarrassed.
"Funny right?" Sudowoodo pretend laughed.
Someone was laughing from the dock. A Blue angler fish with two yellow luminescent bulbs at the end of her feelers appeared.
"It wasn't that funny." Told Charmeleon plainly.
"She's been laughing the entire boat ride here." Informed Sudowoodo.
"I just laugh a lot, I find everything funny, and I'm always happy." Piped up the fish.
"You won't be laughing for long Lanturn." It was Chris' turn to laugh now." Hey Linoone, you thought you could sneak past me?"
Indeed a raccoon Pokémon with gray fur, brown streaks and bright blue eyes had inconspicuously made his way to the other contestants. He shrugged at Chris' comment.
"If she'd been laughing all the way here, he was the opposite. He was quiet since we boarded the boat." Revealed Sudowoodo.
"I had nothing to say." Said Linoone quietly.
"Sometimes it is best to remain speechless than to utter frivolities." Wormadam told.
"Yum, frivolities!" Said Chimecho as she dashed past Wormadam's head.
"That's not what it…" Vibrava was about to correct her when Volcarona poked her side.
"Let her be girl, she's in her own world." Whispered the big bug.
A petite white Pokémon flew from the boat down next, she had triangular shapes of blue and red on her body. She had an uplifting smile on her face.
"Hi everyone!" She cheered.
"Hey Togetic, finally someone normal!" Said Chris which earned glares from the rest of the competition.
"Oh don't say that. They all look so nice." Togetic smiled.
She slowly floated till she was next to Hitmontop.
"You want some Weedle powder?" He whispered as he took out a vial with powder in it." It takes off anything you don't want off your skin, pimples, stretch marks, wrinkles. You name it. It's the newest product the world has seen. Trust me."
"Now why would I need that?" Her eyes furrowed." What I do need though, is for us to be in an alliance together, or else I'll take that vial and shove it down you're throat, Maybe it will peel off you're intestines."
Her voice went from sweet to hellish as she whispered to him. He went rigid, wide eyed and started sweating. She went back to sweet and pretend hugged him.
"We're going to be best of friends." She said loudly so everyone could hear.
"Friendship is for losers." Spat Eelektross.
"I think I see the last boat coming." Interrupted Chris.
The next boat indeed showed up and was dropping off the last contestants. First of which was a Bee, striped in yellow and black. Her abdomen was huge, the bottom part looked like honey combs. Her wings small but were carrying her through. She had short arms and red searing eyes. She stopped midair some way in front of the contestants eyeing each one.
"You shy or something?" Started Charmeleon.
"You could say that." She replied as she flew next to the others.
With not much to say, their attention soon drifted to the next contestants. A red monkey with his head shaped like a swirl at the top was slowly making his way down the boat. He looked unsure, his eyes made a sad expression with his brows tilted upwards. A dancing green and white Pokémon on tiptoes strolled to his side. She grabbed his paw and took him down the dock hurriedly.
"There's nothing to be shy about Pansear. The island is beautiful and the others seem nice." She spoke nicely.
"Kirlia's right, all your shyness will be washed away here. Just wait for a few challenges. You'll see what I mean." Chris laughed knowingly.
"He looks young Chris, are you sure the challenges are safe for his age." Alerted Serperior.
"Yeah yeah, no one gets really hurt here." Chris brushed off as if he barely heard.
Kirlia was greeting everyone in turn. Some responded, while others were annoyed by her.
"Oh hi! I love your wings, they're so bright and elegant. Oh and you, you have beautiful fins! Oh my gosh you look so strong!" She was carried away with her greetings till she stopped at Carvanha.
"Wow, those are some big teeth. Better to smile with am I right?" She giggled merrily.
"Better to chomp my way over your head you little prissy Fairy." Snapped Carvanha.
"Ooookaaay." Kirlia replied awkwardly as she made a mental note to avoid Carvanha.
A medieval black street lamp Pokémon floated down the dock. He had a look of surprise on his face, which was the bulb itself. His eyes round and yellow and his mouth open. He cautiously floated towards the others.
"Hello!" He said quietly.
"Lampent, glad you could make it. I thought you couldn't leave your job as a street light." Said Chris.
"I couldn't help it Chris. This seemed like a great opportunity so I left my job." Replied Lampent.
"Jobs are for the help, but you look like one anyway so I'm not surprised." Huffed Frillish.
"Jobs are what got you your little mansion so don't sneer at them." Scolded Dragonair.
A robotic flying saucer with two magnets sticking out at both its sides and one from behind it levitated down the dock next. He had a yellow antenna sticking out of his head and two screws at the top of each side. He had one center eye that was large with a big red pupil and two small eyes with a black dot on each side.
"Magnezone, welcome to the island." Introduced Chris.
"Currently the total number of contestants adds up to 27, that makes each contestant's odds at winning equal to 3.7%. If there was an elimination today, the odds would become 3.85%. That may seem measly, but if you take into consideration the odds of being eliminated this early on. They are low as well. Overall the analysis indicates that each contestant has a suitable balanced chance at being the victor." Calculated Magnezone.
"How helpful." Drawled Vespiquen.
"Are you a boy or a girl?" Asked Pansear.
"He sounds like a boy, speaking through a fan." Answered Electrike.
"It's a bird! It's a plane!" Chimed in Chimecho.
"Ehem. For the sake of identification, I go by male although I am genderless as all Magnezone come." Pointed out Magnezone.
"No, I don't want to. Noo." Came a voice from the boat.
The driver was pushing a tan bulb like Pokémon with green spots. He pushed her out of the boat and then drove off.
"What's the matter Shroomish, don't you want to meet your fellow contestants?" Beckoned Chris.
"I want to leave. I didn't want to come here." She refused.
"Too bad, your parents signed you up for the show, and you're staying whether you like it or not." Told Chris.
She grunted and stood next to the contestants with a frown.
"That makes 27 then you're all here!" Spoke Chris." On to the tour!"
Chris showed them all the hotspots of the island including the bonfire ceremony, the mess hall, gymnasium and auditorium. He told them to leave their luggage in the cabins he showed them. There were three cabins, and they were divided to two sections each. He was now showing them the outhouses.
"Meet your best friends. You'll be sharing secrets like bffs. These are the confessionals! Why don't you take a shot at them now?" Suggested Chris.
(Confessionals)
Chimecho: How does this work?
Frillish: Ugh this is disgusting, what kind of accommodations are these. I command better treatment right now.
Charmeleon: Stupid lug, how did he know I pushed the crazy girl? Doesn't matter, I'll get many chances to have fun.
Hitmontop: That girl's all kinds of freaky yo, like the newest horror films!
Dragonair: I don't like that flirty fish! She gets all the boys to make fools of themselves to do her bidding. I'm keeping an eye on her.
Smeargle: I think Sudowoodo hates me now. I didn't mean to offend him, I was just pointing out the confusion.
Sudowoodo: How am I going to be able to mask myself here with that painter who can see right through me? He needs to go quick.
Shroomish: I didn't want to come here. Mom and dad think I need to be around people more, that's stupid. I want to be on my own.
Vespiquen: After carefully assessing my competition, I have concluded that they are mostly weaklings. I can easily get a couple of minions to do the work for me. I'll wait till we are assigned in teams and then pick my puppets, I mean allies. Hehe.
After showing them the confessionals, Chris had them gathered around him.
"Originally we were going to use the same set of challenges for you guys, but the network thought that would bring down the ratings and I couldn't have that. So we hired a Pokémon maniac, I mean, enthusiast to give us ideas for challenges. I do say, there are some pretty good ideas, some friendly ones too, which I will make less friendly." Informed Chris nastily." As for today, we're starting things simple."
"We don't want simple, we want a challenge!" Dared Vibrava boldly.
"Shh! Let him just give us something simple." Hushed Sudowoodo.
"For this season, we're going to have themed challenges sometimes, the themes won't be really influencing the challenges but they are there so that everyone gets something in their domain. I'm speaking of types. Today's signature type will be bug! Vespiquen, Volcarona, and Wormadam, you should take this challenge with less difficulty. Although not by a great deal." Told Chris.
"Excellent!" Uttered Vespiquen.
"Now das what I'm talkin about." Cheered Volcarona.
"Your challenge for today is to spread out across the island and find a Rare Candy. Don't go too far, the limit for this challenge is the forest only. They aren't that well hidden so it won't be that difficult. Consider it a race though because there is a, lets say nasty surprise for the one that reaches last." Relayed Chris." Be aware that not all Rare Candies are what they seem at first though. And no you cannot hide any extra Rare Candies you may find from the other contestants. I'll be watching and ready to disqualify."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Snapped Frillish." The part about candies not what they seem."
"I don't see how any of this has anything to do with Bug type." Added Serperior.
"You'll find out soon enough. The challenge starts now…" Chris couldn't finish what he was saying because Electrike zapped into the forest as soon as those words left Chris' mouth.
Before the others could run off though. Chris shouted to them." DO NOT OPEN YOUR RARE CANDIES UNTIL YOU ARE ALL HERE! And with that, the first challenge of the season begins! Will Electrike be the first back? Will the fire types burn down the forest? And how did I get all these Rare Candies? Tune in to find out!"
(Confessionals)
Electrike: Gotta go fast! It's a race, it's a race!
Lanturn: I love Rare Candy! I am so happy.
Pansear: I've only found one Rare Candy in my life. They are really yummy! I wish they weren't so rare.
Wormadam: Heavens, a race so early on? I believe I do not come equipped for this. Fortunately I have the advantage of it being corresponding to my type, although I am not fond of insects myself, being a plant cloak.
Shroomish: I should just go slow, that way I lose and go back to being alone.
Lumineon: Sigh, all this hurrying, I dislike races, especially on land. I better get some hormonal boy to help me then.
Buizel found Lanturn and they headed out together.
"I get that you're happy. This is fun!" He told her.
"It sure is, but I'm always happy." She replied.
"It's the best emotion." He added.
She blushed and her smile grew even more. Lumineon appeared on Buizel's other side.
"Would you care to help me you sweet little otter? I am helplessly slow on land." She said in the most seductive voice.
"I believe he is a weas…" Lanturn was cut off as Buizel focused on Lumineon.
He lifted her up on his shoulders and dashed forward.
"…sel." Ended Lanturn, her smile fading a bit but not entirely.
(Confessionals)
Lanturn: Buizel seemed really nice. He looks like the kind to help anyone out.
Buizel: Lumineon is the most beautiful Pokémon I have ever seen, and she wants my help. Who am I to turn her down?
Lumineon: Oh boo, poor little me, so helpless. Ha, boys are so predictable.
Togetic dragged Hitmontop with her, against his protest.
"Come on, we're best friends. We have to stick together. Or I'll stick your legs together with a welding torch." She threatened with a mix of friendliness and intimidation.
He shuddered as she dragged him with her.
"Can I help?" Asked Lampent looking at them curiously.
"Yes please help." Pled Hitmontop.
"Of course! The more friends the merrier." Togetic smiled deceivingly.
Lampent caught up to them wordlessly, looking at them both from time to time.
(Confessionals)
Togetic: Aww more friends!
Hitmontop: Oh man, I'm so glad someone followed us or she probably would have killed me in the forest and dumped my body in some ditch to never be found again. I know it, its trending with all the killers.
Lampent: I was curious why they were friends so fast. I'm curious a lot, and it gets me into trouble all the time. But I can't help it. I even took the job of street light so I can listen in on everyone in the street. You find out so much information that way. It's fascinating. But I don't do it because I'm a creep. I do it because I like to help, and be friends with people. Maybe I can be friends with Hitmontop and Togetic.
Vibrava grabbed Chimecho and headed out with her, followed by Volcarona.
"Girl, why'd you bring her along, she gon slow us down." Complained Volcarona.
"I never leave a Pokémon behind." Said Vibrava bravely as she guided Chimecho.
"Weee!" Beamed Chimecho.
"If you say so." Retorted Volcarona.
"Besides, she's light as a feather. She's not hindering me one bit.
"Yeah but what you gon do when she clings to you like Voltorbs in a Power Plant?" Warned Volcarona.
"I cling to doors only." Said Chimecho half seriously." You don't have to carry me around misses Dragon."
"Well I'm a dragonfly, but I'll take that as a compliment." Corrected Vibrava.
"Wait, so you aint really high, you aware of wos going on here?" Asked Volcarona.
"A challenge! I'm not stupid." She told them.
"Then float on your own if you can handle it." Told her Vibrava.
"Okie! You're nice!" She started floating on her own.
"You're nice too but you need to focus or else you'll lose." Advised Vibrava.
"Yes ma'am." Nodded Chimecho.
"Arceus, give me strength." Wished Volcarona shaking her head.
(Confessionals)
Vibrava: This feels like an adventure! I love adventures.
Volcarona: This place got some freaky Pokémon. This sista aint bred to deal with freaky shit.
Chimecho: Volcarona's funny.
"Look out dear! Don't go too fast, you might trip." Warned Sunflora.
"I'm alright, thanks." Pansear replied gently.
Sunflora, Pansear, Shroomish and Avalugg were strolling at a slow pace through the woods. Sunflora wanted Pansear to be careful, Avalugg was naturally slow and Shroomish preferred it slow anyway so no one was complaining.
"Smile dearie, it's not healthy to frown all the time." Requested Sunflora of Shroomish.
"No. Leave me alone." Refused Shroomish.
"I know what will make you smile." She was about to use Grass Whistle when a blast of fire burned the leaf she was going to use.
"Who's there?" Asked Pansear.
There was snickering from behind a tree. Avalugg used Gyro Ball as he sped up around the tree. The Pokémon behind it was sent hurtling to the sky. It was Charmeleon.
"Good riddance." Grunted Shroomish.
"Yay for Avalugg." Cheered Pansear.
"Bad lizard, attack mother flower." He said gruffly.
(Confessionals)
Sunflora: I know a thing or two about how to deal with mischievous boys. I had my fair share of them.
Charmeleon: I hate that overgrown snowman.
Avalugg: No hurt little monkey and flower mother while Avalugg around.
Pansear: With Avalugg around, no bully can get me.
Even though Electrike dashed forward speedily, he had yet to find a Rare Candy. Not far behind him were Eelektross and Carvanha who for some reason chose to go together.
"You find anything yet?" Eelektross called over to Electrike.
"Nope, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you." Blocked Electrike.
"Oh yeah you will! Or I'll pound you." Threatened Eelektross.
"You need to catch me to pound me." Replied Electrike daringly.
Eelektross was about to reply when he found a blue circular thing near a bush. He rushed to it and picked it up, only to find it connected to a branch. He pulled the branch hard, but found it was connected to a body. Sudowoodo's body.
"Hehe he, funny right?" Sudowoodo attempted.
"You think I'm playing with you punk?" Glared Eelektross.
"No I was just YAAAAOOOWWWW!" He shrieked as Carvanha sunk her teeth in his arm that looked like a Rare Candy. He flailed till she was sprung loose.
"Nope, doesn't taste like Rare Candy to me. Now beat it before I sink my teeth somewhere else." She seethed.
Sudowoodo didn't need to be told twice.
"Loser." Muttered Sudowoodo.
"Coward." Added Carvanha.
They smirked at each other menacingly.
(Confessionals)
Electrike: I felt bad for Sudowoodo, but it was his fault he messed with them in the first place.
Sudowoodo: Ow my hand! Those two are jerks!
Carvanha: Moron should know better than to mess with me.
Eelektross: Hmph, Carvanha's not bad. She's not as much a loser as the rest of them.
Serperior led Dragonair, Magnezone and Wormadam through the forest.
"Doesn't seem like a tough challenge." Commented Dragonair.
"According to my calculations, the only factor affecting this challenge is luck. Even the slowest contestant can make it back in time if they were to happen upon a Rare Candy." Assessed Magnezone.
"I still fail to see how this is a Bug themed challenge." Added Serperior.
"Patience is virtue, I am certain we will find that out soon enough. For now, how about we reveal some information about ourselves. How many of you come from royalty, and what noble family would it be?" Wormadam asked.
Everyone was quiet, they looked at each other.
"Erm, no one here is royalty Wormadam, we're all average Pokémon." Replied Serperior.
"Ah good, I was afraid I would not match anyone here for I am unfortunately not royalty either." She revealed.
"But you act noble." Interjected Dragonair.
"I am pleased at your remark my dear lady. I admit I am quite well off, but no where near Duck Chris." She relied.
Serperior laughed briefly while Dragonair rolled her eyes.
"You have been misled. Chris is not royalty at all." Told Dragonair.
"Poppycock! He would not fib, that is ungentlemanly." She gasped." Oh my, is that a Rare Candy I see?"
True to her word, a Rare Candy lay in a tree above her.
"Hey you're right it is. You should have it since you were the one to spot it." Said Serperior.
"You're most generous sir. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to acquire this confection in a most unladylike manner." She said as she used Razor Leaf to cut down the branch.
When the Candy fell down, she picked it up, but to her surprise it moved and out of the wrapping came a Joltik. The Joltik zapped Wormadam.
"Ooh! Gracious me!" She shrieked.
Magnezone floated over and used Metal Sound on the arachnid. It scampered away.
"Are you alright Wormadam?" Asked Serperior.
Her flowers had burned up.
"I am quite fine. What a dastardly plot, to leave a creature such as that in Candy disguise!" She noted.
"Well that answers my question." Sighed Serperior." Now we know how this is Bug themed."
(Confessionals)
Serperior: Harsh, we better watch out for other tricks.
Dragonair: Chris is about as royalty as Frillish is, its only in their head.
Wormadam: Blasted pesky bug, it will take a whole day to replace my flowers. My mother always told me, become a trash cloak, and you need not worry about grooming ever again. Trash? Trash? Preposterous!
Magnezone: If there was only one Rare Candy for each contestant, I predict many will be up for a late time searching.
The final group included Linoone, Vespiquen, Kirlia, Smeargle and Frillish who found no one else willing to string her along.
"You." Started Frillish, facing Smeargle." You were carrying a bunch of ugly papers back on the boat, you are now my butler. Carry me around this instant."
"Why? You can float around. It's not a hard ch…" He questioned.
"Silence! You are my butler and will do as I please." She hushed.
Kirlia was walking next to Linoone, well she was more like skipping.
"Isn't this great, on a far away island, looking for Rare Candy. The whole world can see us." She beamed.
He tried to ignore her. He looked back to see Smeargle having trouble carrying Frillish around. He walked over to them.
"Why are you carrying her? You don't have to help her." He faced.
"Its not… a problem." Breathed Smeargle." I don't mind…helping."
"That's not helping, that's being a slave." Corrected Linoone as he flicked some dirt on Frillish. She yelped and was dropped. Linoone nudged Smeargle to carry on, leaving Frillish on the ground.
"How dare you?! I will have my father throw you in the dungeons! Come back here and carry me." She yelled.
"Thanks, it wasn't a big deal though." Pointed Smeargle to Linoone.
"Don't let them push you around." He ended.
Vespiquen who was quiet for the most part sauntered over to Frillish lending her a hand.
"At least someone has manners. You shall be my maid." Frillish dusted herself.
"I suggest you control yourself because no one is going to serve you. Now, you do as I say, or I'll leave you here alone to rot on the soil." Retorted Vespiquen.
"You wouldn't!" Gasped Frillish.
"Try me." Dared Vespiquen.
She panicked while trying to decide." Fine."
They continued with the others for a while, no one speaking except for Kirlia who would chat about random things. She suddenly stopped and ran forward.
"Oooh a Rare Candy!" She beamed.
"Congrats Kirlia." Offered Smeargle.
"Hand it over." Demanded Frillish.
"Nope, sorry. To each his own. Tehee. I gotta go to camp. I hope I'm the first." She refused as she made her way back to camp.
(Confessionals)
Kirlia: Yay I hope I was the first!
Linoone: Everyone's either noisy or annoying. Smeargle is okay, but he needs to stand up for himself.
Smeargle: I wasn't really complaining but I didn't want to carry Frillish around the entire challenge.
Frillish: Why won't anyone serve me!? Everyone serves me back home. I hate it here.
Vespiquen: That jellyfish princess is getting on my nerves, but someone pathetic like her will make a good minion. I could easily control her votes in my favor.
Volcarona, Chimecho and Vibrava managed to find two Rare Candies, one for Vibrava and one that Chimecho bumped into when she floated above a branch. They were now searching for a third for Volcarona.
"You gals really should head back now. I appreciate it and all but I don wanna be the reason you missed out." Volcarona attempted.
"Nonsense! Friends and allies stick together through thick and thin." Refused Vibrava chivalrously.
"Right! We stick together like corn and butter!" Repeated Chimecho less intelligently.
"You're the best y'all!" Volcarona teared up as she hugged both her friends simultaneously.
"There I see one!" Pointed Vibrava at one in a bush." Alright you get that one and we'll see you in camp."
"What happened to friends stick together?" Shouted Volcarona after her.
"Sorry, nature calls really bad." Informed Vibrava.
Volcarona flew quickly towards it, while Vibrava turned around back to camp. Chimecho followed her albeit at a slower pace.
(Confessionals)
Volcarona: At first I had my doubts about Chimecho, but damn girl. When someone stands with a sista, they alright fo life you hear what I'm sayin?
Vibrava: Ah Much better! Otherwise I wouldn't have left Volcarona alone. With all the hurry, I didn't realize I was the first back. Victory!
Kirlia: Aw shucks. I found Vibrava in camp when I made it back. I made it in second place. That's alright I was still one of the earliest ones to arrive.
In Serperior's group, they came across two more trapped Rare Candies, one of which hiding a startled Surskit that fired an Ice Beam that froze them all except Magnezone who used Flash Cannon to break their ice, and another that housed a Spinarak that used Sticky Web on them. They kept struggling against the web until Serperior used Leaf Blade to cut the webs. They were starting to feel as though all the Rare Candies were trapped.
"It would be most unfortunate if we were the only ones unlucky enough to come across so many traps." Spoke Wormadam.
"The challenge is still going on, I think many are having similar difficulties." Noted Dragonair.
Serperior stopped and nodded towards a Rare Candy lying on the ground in near a tree.
"Well, lets get this over with then. Prepare your attacks." Instructed Serperior.
However to his surprise, this one was authentic.
"Success! At last we found one." Spoke Magnezone.
"You should have it Wormadam, afterall, you found the first one that was trapped." Offered Serperior kindly.
"Oh heavens no my dear. You were the one to spot it hence it belongs to you. Run along now, and claim your prize. We shall strive through till we are as fortunate as you are." Refused Wormadam graciously.
"Hey I see something." Beckoned Dragonair distracting them." Up there."
Atop the same tree Serperior found his Candy was another. Dragonair slithered up the tree and grabbed it. It was also a real Candy.
"My my, our luck is definitely making a U-Turn." Mused Wormadam.
"Shall we head to camp together then?" Offered Dragonair to Serperior.
"After you." He signaled." I wish you two the best of luck."
"My calculations indicate we are not long to come across our goal as well." Replied Magnezone.
(Confessionals)
Serperior: My fear was that we are the last to arrive, but when we made it to camp we only found two other contestants. Looks like others did have trouble as well. Wormadam and Magnezone have a chance to arrive early as well.
Dragonair: It wasn't that bad a challenge, and the four of us formed a group of sorts.
Magnezone: Not only do I calculate odds. I also analyze people. I did not pick Serperior and Dragonair at random. They seemed more level headed than most. I cannot bear to spend my time around unstable individuals. It damages my circuits.
"Oh Buizel. You're fantastic!" Lumineon dramatically thanked.
Buizel spotted a Rare Candy near the riverbank and fetched it for Lumineon.
"Anything for you." He swooned.
"You're a sweetheart." She leaned in and pecked him on the cheek. She then turned around and made her way back to camp.
"Wait. Don't you want me to take you back once I find my own Candy?" Buizel asked after his daze was gone.
"But I don't want to hold you back. You look like you could do so much better without me to slow you down." She excused in a pity voice.
After she was gone, he quickly searched, luckily it didn't take him long before he found another one and dashed towards camp.
(Confessionals)
Buizel: Wohoo! My first kiss, and it's from the hottest chick on the island!
Lumineon: Oh Buizel I don't want to slow you down. As if. I need to make my way back to camp so I can win this challenge.
After Buizel had ditched Lanturn she continued to walk alone till she ran into Sudowoodo looking glum. Being the naturally happy girl she was, she couldn't bear to have someone sad around.
"Cheer up Sudowoodo. What could be that bad to get you sad?" She attempted.
"Bullies." He simply said.
"Bullies are always there, when you start to ignore them you'll see how fun life can be." She smiled.
He snorted. He then saw a Rare Candy ahead. He ran to it.
"I call dibs." He announced as he saw it. Lanturn just smiled knowing he was cheered up.
He picked it up but a Beedrill flew out of the wrapping. It charged at Sudowoodo, jabbing him every once in a while. He ran away screaming like a little girl. Lanturn wanted to help but she saw another Rare Candy on the ground just a couple of trees ahead. When she ran towards it, she saw that it was a real Rare Candy. She jumped and laughed as she followed Sudowoodo.
(Confessionals)
Lanturn: Yay I found one. I found one!
Sudowoodo: This day just keeps getting better and better.
After a while of Electrike running around like a mad man, he finally found a Rare Candy. He hid it from Eelektross and Carvanha and quickly zoomed back to camp.
"Hey, where're you going?" Eelektross snapped.
"You're not the boss of me. I go where I want." Ignored Electrike.
"Why you little." Eelektross charged after him.
"Eep!" Electrike sped up with a quick attack but instead used it to escape, and he did.
"That…little… shrimp..." Exhaled Eelektross.
"Forget about him. Oh look, two Rare Candies on each tree." She pointed at two candies on adjacent trees.
"Heh, kid should have stuck with us, and maybe we could have given him one." Sneered Eelektross.
They fell silent for a second before bursting in laughter.
"You're funny. I like you. The others are idiots." Carvanha admitted.
(Confessionals)
Carvanha: Takes a lot for me to like someone. They have to be tough, mean and most importantly not a complete pile of useless annoying dumbassness.
Eelektross: Carvanha's alright, for a girl. Chicks back home are better though.
Electrike: I have no idea why those two followed me. Glad I got rid of them. I made it to camp and found only a few people. Sweet! I'm one of the winners.
After Charmeleon was sent flying by Avalugg, he landed right on top of Lampent. He was unconscious for a while so they decided to carry him along. Lampent was using Psychic to lift him up.
"You're so sweet Lampent. I'm sure Charmeleon will appreciate it when he wakes up." Told Togetic.
"You think? That would be great." He smiled.
Hitmontop was shaking like a leaf during most of his walk with them. If Lampent wasn't busy using Psychic on Charmeleon's body, he would have noticed. Togetic may or may not have noticed, but she didn't let on if she did. As Hitmontop cowered, his eyes landed on a Rare Candy at the foot of a tree.
"There!" He dashed to it.
"Wonderful. Say, how about you give me that one? Pretty please?" She begged as she got closer to him.
He started shaking again and dropped it.
"Okay okay, you can have it." He turned away.
"Aw that's nice of you. That's why you're my best friend." She merrily picked up the Candy and started to return to camp." Good luck boys, and Hitmontop."
He looked at her, she smiled at him then made a throat cutting sign. He gulped.
(Confessionals)
Togetic: Hehe, Hitmontop is a good friend, so loyal. I will make sure he stays that way till I don't need him anymore.
Hitmontop: What did I do to deserve this? I'll never sell illegal Weedle Powder again! I swear.
Lampent: What's up with Hitmontop? He looked frightened the entire time Togetic was with us.
"Shroomish, you tripped over it. It is only fair that you have it." Sunflora attempted.
"I don't want to. Don't you get that I want to lose?" Shroomish snapped.
"But why? This could be fun." Tried Pansear.
"No. It's never fun when you're around people." She refused.
Pansear found a Rare Candy on a tree, he swung atop it and got it. Just as Shroomish tripped on another that was laying on the ground. She was refusing to take it.
"Avalugg, how about you take it and go with Pansear?" Requested Sunflora.
Avalugg nodded slowly. Sunflora put the Rare Candy on his back. Pansear started walking when Avalugg grabbed him by the collar and flung him on his back as well.
"Whoa!" Pansear steadied himself." Thanks! This is cool."
After they were gone, Sunflora turned around to Shroomish who was sulking even more than she was at the start of the day.
"I will not rest till you are cheered up." Sunflora determined.
"Then you're going to be restless forever." Frowned Shroomish.
(Confessionals)
Sunflora: I can crack the most stubborn children, I will find out what is troubling her.
Pansear: It was cold on top of Avalugg but it was also fun.
Avalugg: Avalugg good with kids. Avalugg love playing with small Pokémon.
Smeargle spotted a Rare Candy and with protest from Frillish headed to fetch it for himself. As soon as he grabbed it though, a Nincada clawed at him. He quickly retracted his paw. It was about to use fury swipes at him as he fell back to the ground but Linoone was quick to act. He used Seed Bomb on the Bug. The Nincada fainted instantly. Linoone walked up to him and helped him up.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, thanks to you. That's two times you helped me today." Smeargle rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah well we need to get you toughened up so it doesn't happen again. Why didn't you use a move?" He asked.
"To be honest, I still have only Sketch learned." Smeargle admitted embarrassedly.
"What, you mean you've never been in a battle and used your Sketch?" Asked Linoone bewildered.
"No, I don't like battling. I prefer peace." Smeargle revealed.
"Ladies, if you're done with your heart to heart, we need to keep moving." Vespiquen clasped her arms above them.
"Right." Smeargle nodded as he kept going.
"Look what I found!" Sang Frillish as she snatched a Rare Candy from a branch." And its all mine!"
Vespiquen quickly flew over to her.
"If you give me that, I will convince the others not to vote for you in the next elimination." Bargained Vespiquen.
"As if anyone would vote for me anyway. No deal." She refused.
"Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Give it to me or I'll let them all vote for you." Vespiquen hovered above her menacingly.
"I have priority, I am the princess here." She stubbornly replied as she floated quickly back to camp.
Vespiquen chose to let her go in the hopes that she would find another one soon.
(Confessionals)
Frillish: Ha ha! I got the Candy, maybe if they carried me I would have offered it to them. Maybe.
Vespiquen: I detest when someone doesn't obey me! I am the queen bee. I rule! Princess will not see the light of day when I am through with her.
Smeargle: I don't like battling. There's no point to it. So much violence.
Linoone: Smeargle is wrong, you need to battle, otherwise others will bully you, and treat you like shit. Trust me, I know.
"Splendid, these flowers will make excellent replacements to the ones that got burned out." Spoke Wormadam.
"Your efficiency with grooming is 93.7%. That is remarkable." Complimented Magnezone.
"You're a gentleman Magnezone." She returned.
They kept on silently for a short while.
"I spot a Confection 67 degrees to the north west of us." Said Magnezone as he levitated towards the Rare Candy lying on the ground.
"Oh my, I see one as well." She gasped as she saw one near a bush at the opposite side.
"It appears we shall return together." He offered.
"That it does. Onward." She signaled.
(Confessionals)
Wormadam: At last. I was beginning to get weary from travel.
Magnezone: There is enough evidence that we are not the last to make it back. Our remainder here is probably secured for now.
"Hitmontop, is something wrong?" Inquired Lampent curiously." You seem jumpy."
"N-no nothing." Hitmontop blocked." Just uhh, excited that's all."
"Wha…" Charmeleon was waking up." Where am I?"
"You fell on top of me a while back." Answered Lampent.
"He was carrying you using Psychic since then." Continued Hitmontop.
"You didn't have to do that." Charmeleon bent his head down in shame.
"We couldn't leave you there alone. What happened to you?" Asked Lampent turning his head to the side.
"I was uhh… Eelektross the bully used Thunder Punch on me. Yeah that's it." Lied Charmeleon.
"That was cruel. I dislike bullies." Frowned Lampent.
"I started hating them when I came here." Shuddered Hitmontop.
They tread through the forest some more till Hitmontop saw two Rare Candies, one near the riverbank and another on the other side of it.
"I'll hover over to that one at the far end. You can have it Charmeleon." Offered Lampent.
"What? Why? You two found them so they're yours." He asked confused.
"Eelektross shouldn't have done that, you lost a lot of time you could have used to search so you should get it instead." Informed Lampent.
"I… don't. I can't." Charmeleon was speechless.
Lampent hovered to the other side, grabbed the Rare Candy and levitated back. He gave it to Charmeleon. Hitmontop had the other one.
"You two head back. I'll keep looking for more." Said Lampent.
"Good luck mate." Waved Hitmontop as he dragged a silenced Charmeleon with him.
(Confessionals)
Lampent: I feel good about that. I hope I can find another one soon though.
Hitmontop: Too many jerks on this island, its crampin my buiz. I can't focus on what's trendy with them reigning on my neck.
Charmeleon: I've been playing tricks since I got to the island, and here goes this street lamp sacrificing himself for me. What am I doing!? Alright, no more pranks, at least not on Lampent anymore, or on Hitmontop.
Vespiquen was starting to get agitated. She flew upwards and used Air Slash in all directions.
"Have you lost your mind?" Linoone shouted. He covered his face.
Amidst her rage, she saw the wind pick up a couple of Rare Candies from different directions.
"Here, since I'm generous." She said as she ceased her attack and dropped one of the Candies for them.
Without another word, she flew back to camp.
Smeargle and Linoone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You should take that back. I'll keep looking." Linoone left it on the ground and started walking away.
Smeargle picked it up and ran after him. He continued walking beside him.
"No, I'm not leaving you behind. We'll find another one and go back together." Smeargle smiled genuinely to him.
And for the first time Linoone sprouted a smile of his own, even if it was brief.
"Then let's go." He ended.
(Confessionals)
Vespiquen: Now that they have seen my generosity, they owe me. As soon as the time comes, I will enlist them under my control. They cannot disobey.
Linoone: Smeargle's alright. Anyone would have went back to camp but he chose to stick with me. Maybe not everyone in this world is a backstabbing asshole.
Sudowoodo was still being chased by the Beedrill. It was one persistent bug.
He finally had it and turned around. He used Rock Slide. It was a direct hit. The Beedrill fainted.
"Stupid Pokémon." He whined.
He continued to search for a Rare Candy when he spotted Linoone and Smeargle. He saw Smeargle carrying a Rare Candy with him. He thought for a moment then decided on his move. He ran to a bush that was ahead of them. He then threw a rock in it. It shook a bit getting their attention.
"What was that?" Asked Smeargle.
"I'll check." Linoone said as he stepped to the bush.
Sudowoodo got closer to Smeargle and slowly snatched the Rare Candy from his paw. He then ran as fast as he could away.
"Hey!" Smeargle called over." Someone took the Candy."
"What? Not on my watch." Linoone darted in a straight line after Sudowoodo.
To say the least, Linoone caught up to him quickly using Extremespeed. He tackled him to the ground.
"Uncle, uncle!" Sudowoodo yelped.
"What's the big idea snatching OUR stuff?" Linoone growled.
Smeargle caught up and grabbed the Rare Candy.
"If you wanted it, all you had to do was ask." He said.
"No, he didn't have to ask. He had to look for his own instead of cheating others out of it." Linoone scowled." Now get the hell out of my face."
Sudowoodo ran away.
"I wouldn't have minded." Smeargle began.
"Stop it, just stop it!" Linoone pounced on Smeargle straddling him." What will it take you to man up?"
Smeargle looked away. Linoone calmed down and sighed. He got off of Smeargle and helped him up." Lets just… find the stupid candy and call it a day."
(Confessionals)
Sudowoodo: Now what am I supposed to do? I hate this challenge.
Linoone: If I get my hands on that fake twig… if Smeargle wasn't there I probably would have done something I would have regretted, but his presence stopped me.
Smeargle: I can't help being how I am. I don't like to upset anyone.
"Attention contestants. Only six more of you are still competing in this challenge. You better hurry up." Chris announced over a megaphone form camp.
"Oh no." Sunflora panicked.
"Oh yes. I told you I was going to lose." Shroomish repeated.
"No you are not." Sunflora asserted as she ran, taking Shroomish with her.
She looked from side to side, up and down. Suddenly she released a breath as she saw a Rare Candy on a tree branch.
"Wait here dear." Sunflora instructed as she went towards the tree. Instead of using a move she climbed the tree.
"Or you could just use razor leaf. You do know that move don't you?" Shroomish told.
"I will not result in the direct harm to this tree. That is not in the nature of a grass type." Sunflora replied as she got to the top.
She grabbed the Rare Candy only to find another right next to it.
"Ohh look here sweetie. There's another one right next to it. It must be our lucky…" She did not get to continue as a Sewaddle appeared inside the other Rare Candy.
The Sewaddle however chose not to attack Sunflora. It looked at her and smiled, in the best way a Bug Pokémon could. Sunflora smiled at her as well.
"Why didn't it attack you?" Asked Shroomish when Sunflora went down the tree,
"Because it understood my admiration for nature, that I would not harm the tree it lived in. From grass type to another, we understood each other. Just as I hope to do with you." Sunflora lectured.
Shroomish looked at the ground.
"Now come on, we still have to find you one." Sunflora urged.
"…Okay." Was all that came from Shroomish. No refusal this time/
(Confessionals)
Sunflora: I hope I was able to get through to her. I insist that I will not give up.
Shroomish: So what if she was friendly to nature? That's not enough. I still think everyone is cruel.
"Only six remain, I doubt I'm going to win." Lampent thought glumly.
In his trail of thought he didn't realize the Rare Candy he hovered over. He then ran into Linoone.
"Oh sorry, my bad." Lampent apologized.
"That's alright." Replied Linoone.
Smeargle appeared next to Linoone. Lampent saw the Rare Candy with him. Linoone stood defensively in front of Smeargle.
"You don't have to guard it. I wouldn't steal someone else's." Lampent assured.
"We're looking for another one right now so we could go back together." Told Smeargle.
"I'd offer to help you but I don't want us to fight over who gets the next one we find so it's best if we go our separate ways." Told Lampent.
Linoone didn't get to hear that part because he spotted the Rare Candy lying on the ground right behind Lampent.
"Yeah you're right. Well if you'll excuse us." Linoone went past him.
Smeargle waved to Lampent." I wish you luck!"
Smeargle was yanked forward hastily by Linoone. Lampent looked curiously at them before he shrugged and continued in the opposite direction.
"What's the matter?" Smeargle asked Linoone who was hurrying.
"I found this behind him." Informed Linoone, showing him the Rare Candy.
"Oh, poor Lampent, he didn't see it then. It could have been his." Smeargle looked back.
"Focus, you come first then others. Remember that." Reminded Linoone.
(Confessionals)
Smeargle: Lampent looked like a nice guy. I hope he doesn't lose.
Lampent: If they have one, that means only five are actually looking, maybe even less if some other couple are working together. I really have to find one now.
Linoone: Finally. Maybe after this challenge I can teach Smeargle some life lessons. He really really needs them.
Sudowoodo was muttering to himself as he walked in the forest. He kicked every rock he passed. He had his head bent as he despaired. As he kicked, one of the rocks was less rigid and made a crackling noise as it skipped on the ground. He looked up and saw that it was a Rare Candy. He cheered as he grabbed it and headed to camp.
Sunflora ran harder, Shroomish wasn't being dragged anymore. She was also running with her.
"There must be one somewhere here." Sunflora mumbled.
"I found one!" Cheered Shroomish a little too enthusiastically before the frown came back to her face as she realized what she did.
"Fantastic! Let us hurry back then." Rejoiced Sunflora as they both ran to camp.
Lampent was hovering quickly, he was looking in all directions. Being a street light had its perks. He had great vision and could see a fair distance away. He flew towards a bush and as he crossed over it he spotted the slightest tinge of blue behind it. He turned around and was pleased to find a Rare Candy. He took it happily and made his way back to camp.
"I hope I'm not last." He thought.
They were all almost neck and neck in regards to distance to camp. But the first of them to reach were Sunflora and Shroomish, followed shortly by Lampent. Sudowoodo took a minute more to make it back. When he found all 26 contestants gathered, he groaned.
(Confessionals)
Shroomish: I didn't lose afterall, and I'm not completely upset by it.
Lampent: That was too close for comfort.
Sudowoodo: Darn it. Last place.
"Congratulations! You all completed your first challenge, some better than others." Praised Chris." You may now open your Rare Candies and see what lies within."
They opened their candies. They found the Candy but other than that they noticed the wrappings were not all the same. Some had blue wrappings on the inside, some had red and some green.
"Those with Blue wrappings stand to the right. Those with green to the left. And those with Red to the middle." Ushered Chris.
The campers took their positions.
"The ones with Blue wrappers will henceforth be known as Team Apricorn. The Green team will be called Team Eviolite, and Pokerus is the name of the Red Team." Informed Chris.
The team stand up was as goes:
Red Team: Pokerus: Serperior, Dragonair, Lumineon, Chimecho, Pansear, Eelektross, Magnezone, Sunflora, and Sudowoodo.
Blue Team: Apricorn: Buizel, Volcarona, Togetic, Electrike, Lanturn, Hitmontop, Vespiquen, Shroomish, and Lampent.
Green Team: Eviolite: Vibrava, Kirlia, Avalugg, Frillish, Carvanha, Charmeleon, Wormadam, Linoone, and Smeargle.
"Since Vibrava was the first to return, she will be the green team captain. The first to a arrive from the red team was Serperior so he will lead his team. That leaves Buizel as the first from the blue team to be captain of his crew." Announced Chris.
"Sweet!" Cheered Buizel.
"I hope I can be up to it." Said Serperior.
"We shall move on to victory together!" Cried Vibrava confidently.
"And now for the second matter at hand. Since the green team was the first to all be here. They win the prize for this challenge." Continued Chris." You will all receive two hours of Pokémon Amie courtesy of Pokecorp. Pokecorp the best producer and provider of Pokémon related care. Get Pokecorp products now!"
"Hey that's my thing." Interjected Hitmontop.
The green team cheered happily.
"Next is the blue team, Lampent made it just before Sudowoodo and secured his team safety. Enjoy it while you can." Chris warned.
The blue team looked indifferent.
"Safety?" Asked Dragonair.
"Yes, for your team, Sudowoodo won you a special meaningful occasion. The first ever Elimination. I'll see you all in one hour at the bonfire ceremony." He snickered." Use this time to unpack. But I wouldn't be too comfortable if I were you red team.
The red team looked displeased. They glared at Sudowoodo.
(Confessionals)
Sudowoodo: Not only am I last, but I got us an elimination too.
Togetic: Fantastic. I got Hitmontop on my team. It will be an easy and fun ride, to hell, for him.
Buizel: Crap! Lumineon's not on my team!
Volcarona: Darn tootnit. We got split up. Now I have to go against my sistas.
Kirlia: Pokémon Amie! Yay I am so excited. I love it.
Charmeleon: I got Pokémon Amie and Lampent didn't. I'm starting to feel bad all over again. I hate feeling bad. I don't feel bad. I make others feel bad.
Serperior: My first day as team leader and we start off with an elimination. Granted I had nothing to do with us being here. But still.
Sunflora: Oh muffins! It seems I didn't avoid elimination afterall.
Pansear: Aww. I don't like elimination.
Eelektross: All that work for nothing. Stupid loser, had to bring us all down with him.
Vespiquen: So those are my teammates. Glad I didn't have to use Frillish. Now I need to carefully choose my minions.
The nine contestants constituting the red team were gathered around Chris at the bonfire ceremony.
"Welcome to your first elimination of the season! In here, you will vote for the person you wish to eliminate. After that, I will hand out Pokeblocks for every contestant that is safe until one remains without a Pokeblock. That contestant will leave Total Drama forever." Relayed Chris." In some cases, there will be individual immunity within a team for certain performance. This time, solo immunity goes to Serperior for being the first to arrive from all of you. You may not vote for him."
"I'm grateful." He bowed.
"In you go. All eight others are fair game." Chris ushered.
(Confessionals: Votes)
Sunflora: I still remember how Sudowoodo copied me at the start, I am not fond of mockery.
Pansear: I don't like Eelektross, he's a bully.
Sudowoodo: I'm doomed! I vote for Eelektross, if it wasn't for him and that piranha, I might have arrived earlier.
Eelektross: Get out of here loser! You cost us the challenge.
Dragonair: I don't like Lumineon one bit. I vote for her.
Magnezone: My calculations indicate the odds are stacked against Sudowoodo. To further my odds, I must join the bandwagon, in common lingo.
They were back to their stumps. Chris stood before them, They stared expectantly.
"You have all cast your votes. I here have eight Pokeblocks, one for every one of you who will continue. When I call out your name, you shall receive a marshmallow. The person who does not receive a marshmallow will be eliminated and must walk the dock of shame and board the boat of losers which means you are out and cannot come back." Lectured Chris." The extra large rare berry infused Pokeblock belonging to the immunity winner goes to… Serperior."
Serperior caught it with his mouth and ate it. It was delicious.
"The next Pokémon safe tonight are…"
"Dragonair"
"Magnezone"
"Pansear"
"Chimecho"
"Sunflora"
There was a pause.
"Lumineon"
Only two remained. Eelektross looked as angry as ever and Sudowoodo was glum.
"Eelektross, you intimidated quite a few contestants, Sudowoodo, you failed the first challenge and got your team in this position." Told Chris." I can now reveal, the last Pokeblock goes to…
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Eelektross"
"That means Sudowoodo, you are the first Pokémon to leave Total Drama." Informed Chris.
They looked at Sudowoodo but could not find him. Instead there was another Eelektross. They were confused.
"You little rat." One of them jumped at the other.
The one below turned out to be Sudowoodo.
"Now get your ass on that boat." Growled Eelektross.
He ran to the boat in fear.
"And that concludes day one of the new season of Total Drama! Looks like lots of drama is ahead. I look forward to it excitedly. Our copy cat bit more than he could chew when he messed with the big cats! You have your teams. Which one will dominate? Will Lampent retaliate? And who will get intimate? Find out on our second episode of Total Drama Pokerific!"

That was a long chapter. I had no idea it would turn out that long. It is the second longest chapter I have written overall. So Sneaky Sudowoodo couldn't copy a Pokeblock for himself. Did you like Sudowoodo? Did you like the challenge? The cast? Tell me all your thoughts.
