Chapter 1

A boat arrives at the dock, carrying a small party of people. On the aforementioned dock stands what appears to be a cat with disturbingly humanoid features. It remains completely still as the boat prepares to unload. The smile on it's face unwavering. From the boat, several people… no. Several creatures, varying in size, shape, and color, saunter, march, and even float onto the dock where the unsettling little cat man excretes and aura like that of an indescribable, unimaginable deity.

With their array of attitudes driving them, the creatures take note of the camera's around them, making faces, waving, or ignoring them entirely. And with this the catman... It speaks…

"Welcome viewers and contestants, to Camp Wawanakwa! I am your host, Meowth..."

Meowth's face remains frozen in a painfully overzealous smile as the contestants await, most with their faces lighting up, the begining of events to come.

"Well, let's just skip all the fat and get to the fun! I will be splitting our 12 contestants up into two teams of 6. The teams will compete with each other in challenges. The challenges will all be followed by both teams voting a member off until each team is down to 3 players, at which point the competition will transform into a freeforall where the loser of each challenge will be kicked off the island. Any questions contestants?"

In this moment the participatory crowd lacked participation. Instead the contestants confined themselves to peer communication.

"Hey. Pikachu." A blue turtle-like creature whispered, as he tapped the arm of a large yellow rat.

"two of us voted off after every challenge? That's pretty cutthroat. Is it always like this?"

"I don't think so. I thought it was just one person per challenge."

"No questions? Great! Let's get started! 1, 2 3, 4, 6. You six go stand over there."

Meowth pointed towards a part of the dock taped off in red.

"The rest of you just stay put. These, are the teams."

The Contestants began to murmur.

"Wait, that's it? Our teams chosen just like that?"

For a moment, meowth stared at this creature, the bliss painted across his face unchanging.

"Yes. That's it. Your teams chosen just like that."

The Creature who spoke out resigned himself, his arms still crossed at the meowth's response. His orange flaming tail however began repeatedly smacking the dock like one might tap a desk. Squirtle leaned in towards it.

"Maybe don't question the host, y'know?"

"What is he gonna do, kick us out early?" chimed Pikachu

"I dunno!, just don't get on his nerves!"

Meowth spoke up. "The team behind the red tape will be Team Ruby, The rest of you are on Team Diamond. Okay? Great! The first challenge starts now!
