UPDATED NOTE:
Okay so this entire story has been rewritten to my liking. Many general improvements have been made: better flow, more character development, different characters, and general structure improvement (grammar, active voice, etc...)
Things have changed- characters have been shifted around team-wise and some have been replaced. (I had 8 Flying types... 8!) The ones I had used the least were changed so that writing them won't feel like a chore this time around.
So enjoy the rewrite and for some nostalgia, I kept the old intro note for those who are curious. (The old chapters may be reposted on Pastebin in the future but only if asked.)
ORIGINAL NOTE:
You may have seen this story type a million times, I know- a TDI Pokemon crossover. It's been done to death but I still wanted to do one ever since DarkAmpithere made his first season of TPI, which I credit any references I make to (and the idea obviously). Along with DarkReconz PDI, the two are a big inspiration for all of this.
Anyways, every character in the story are my OC.
DISCLAIMER:
I own no property of Pokémon- only my name, Kiwi A. Bunny. If I did own Pokémon, Flygon would have a mega and Ledian would too because... because I said so dang it!
Episode 0: Introducing the Contestants!
[\/\/]
"Hello~oooo everyone! Welcome to Total Drama Pokémon! Totally not a rip-off any other existing show at all!" a small orange fairy with ears in a V shape fades into view, standing on a concrete dock with a mic in hand.
"Here in this incredible competition, 30 Pokémon, 5 from each region, will compete for five-million Pokè and life's supply of Poke Puffs! Along the way, they must play smart and fierce to avoid being eliminated- there can only be one winner after all!"
A small yellow pokémon with a 3-pointed head and a thin black line on her stomach, floated into view, her own mic in hand. She had a questioning expression on her face.
"Not a rip off, huh? It's as if there's another show that you may be copying." she said from behind Victini, who began to look sheepish.
He turns to face her. "Look Jira, I'm doing this for the legacy, not the money or the fame. I just want my name somewhere in the books and-"
Victini tries to continue only to interrupted by Jirachi.
"I'm sure it's not because you're jealous of your rivals or something…" Jirachi casually points out.
"It's not like that at all!"
As the two the two started to argue, another pokémon, this one genie-like in nature with two hoops around his hands, floated onto the dock.
"Okay, while the two lovebirds argue, how bout' little ole' Hoopa introduce the victims?!" Hoopa notes while the pair argue in the background.
"You mean campers?" Jirachi said whilst holding onto Victini, her voice stoic.
"Yeah, that too! Why don't we begin?" Hoopa said, holding up the notepad in his hand.
Victini quickly gets out of Jirachi's grip and swipes it away, glancing at Hoopa with a displeased look.
"We'll start with… Aipom!" yelled the host.
"I was going to do that…" moaned Hoopa.
Victini snorted. "I'm pretty sure I'm the host- you're just the co-host and your job is to float there and look nice- so smile a little, you're scaring the kids that're watching."
"Oh alright, whatever you want." Hoopa said sarcastically, frowning.
Floating in on top of on a large manta-ray was purple primate with large blue eyes and a long tail that a hand-like appendage at the end. With it was a small pink book-bag, held by the tail.
Aipom jumped off the Mantine and landed with a stylish pose, smiling wide for the camera, before turning to the three hosts.
"Wow I'm actually here! I'm really on TV!" she shouted excitedly while hopping back and forth.
"It's great to have you too Aipom!" cheered Victini. "I can't wait for you to see what's in store!"
"Well, I'm ready to gamble it all!" she said, flashing an ace of spades. "And raise the stakes at any moment!"
"A gambler huh? Real fiery too." commented Hoopa, watching her pull out an entire deck.
"That's lovely- can you wait at the end of the dock over there?"
Victini gestured to an area next to a bunch of stacked boxes, cracks overgrown with grass everywhere and the bannister rusty.
"Alrighty!" shouted Aipom as she bounded off.
Another Mantine drifted into view, but was clearly chuckling as it came to the dock. On its back was a large gray pokémon with a green cow-like upper body, two large tusks and bright red eyes.
"If you call me 'Tusks' one more time you stupid manta, I'm going to shred you to p-"
"Whoa, calm down Fraxure! There's no need to kill my production team!" Victini said, pulling her off the laughing Mantine.
"Welcome anyways, Fraxure! It's nice to see you're enjoying yourself!" he said, holding his arm out for a shake only to be rebuffed by the Axe Jaw Pokémon.
"No, I'm not enjoying myself. I just want the money. Sooner the better." she replied.
"Tough luck! You have to win to get it and I made sure it won't be easy to win!"
"Rrr..." growled the dragon as she stared down the host.
"Go on to the end of the dock and be angry over there!" he cheerily announced, pointing to where Aipom was standing.
"Hey… why're you so angry?" asked Aipom as Fraxure stood next to her.
"That damn… Mantine… insulted my tusks… I'll show him, no one insults the tusks…" Fraxure grumbled on as Aipom scooted farther away from her.
The next Mantine floated in, with a Raichu pacing back and forth on top, clearly worried about something.
Even as it stopped at the dock he continued the pattern, confusing the hosts and the two campers already there.
"You… you okay there Raichu?" asked a concerned Victini.
He stopped, turned, and walked off the Mantine, giving a rigid salute once in front of the three hosts.
"No problems sir! Never better sir! What're your orders, sir?!"
Jirachi snuck a look at Victini, who just shrugged. He faced the mouse once more.
"Uhh… how about you… guard the dock! Yeah, you do that, just stay by Aipom there and keep a… uhh… lookout!" he paused as the Raichu left.
"Nice to have you by the way!" he called after the large mouse.
Victini shook his before turning to see his two co-hosts giving him raised eyebrows.
"Hey, I didn't know the guy came straight out of the army!" he argued.
"Looks like big purple got to this one." joked Hoopa, making Victini frown.
"As long as he doesn't overdo it." said Jirachi.
Raichu hurriedly marched over to Aipom and stood at attention right on top of her. She moved over and he scooted over with her.
"Hey… hi! Can you scoot over, just a little?" she asked.
Raichu looked over without turning his head.
"Sorry ma'am, can't do that. L.T's orders!"
"L... Tee?"
Raichu glared.
"The Lieutenant! Do you want a court martial!? Call him by his rank!"
"Right…"
Over the horizon, a helicopter flew into view, carrying the a rather displeased Aggron on a platform underneath. Once it was over the dock, he quickly jumped off the platform and landed with a thud onto the concrete; said concrete cracked harshly under his weight and groaning could be heard.
"Quite an entrance. You must be happy to be here- I know I am!" chimed Victini.
Aggron snorted.
"Talkative huh. I like that." the fire mythical pointed down the dock. "How 'bout talking up a storm with those guys over there then!"
Aggron shook his head and walked away, rolling his eyes as he passed the three hosts.
"I think I like him best so far!" quipped Hoopa.
Jirachi snorted "You're only saying that because he has the lowest chance to insult you."
"And the easiest to prank." he added, making the wish-maker scoff.
In the distance, a Mantine raced into view, only to have another trailing behind, the pair clearly enjoying the sprint as much as the camper's on top are.
"It's Sandshrew and it looks like another camper is here as well. It's Chespin as well!"
The two pulled in, arguing too much to mind the hosts trying to greet them.
"I won bastard!" shouted Sandshrew as the Mantine let her off.
"You cheating fuck!" shouted Chespin as Sandshrew got off his Mantine.
"I won cuz' I'm just betta' skilled than a bogan like you."
"Says you! You only won because you told your Mantine to slam into mine!"
"Should've thought of it first, ya'-"
"Alright you two! You can argue later- just stand over there." Victini lead the two off with ease, but the arguing only subsided for a moment; reigniting the second the two got by, still heated by their little race.
"Asshole!" shouted Chespin.
"Cunt!" replied Sandshrew.
"Well, it's going to be fun having those two around." Hoopa said with a snicker. "Can't wait to prank them a couple times."
The next Mantine arrived with a rather gorgeous looking Glaceon resting upon the back of the large manta-ray Pokémon.
"Well hello there! Nice to meet you, welcome to the island Glaceon! Good to have you there." Victini greeted the eeveelution, who was scanning the current arrivals.
"Is this the competition? Pathetic. All of them have no grace, no poise. Nothing."
He flipped his 'bangs' and smiled.
"I'll be taking this all by storm. With my beauty, I'll win handily." he gloated.
Victini snorted and waved the fox on.
"Just stand by them. No, if, ands, or buts either." he ordered.
Glaceon rolled his eyes. "Ugh... alright."
Stepping off the Mantine was small cotton ball like pokémon that hopped quite far each step she took. Once she made her stride, she beamed to everyone on the dock.
"Name's Whimsi~cott~! Glad~ to be~ here~!" she sang with enthusiasm.
"Good having you Whimsicott. I see you like to sing." noted Victini.
"Yes~ I~ do~!"
"Well, you better hope you have more than a voice 'cause it's not that easy to win here with me around!" Victini heard a snort beside him.
"Including Hoopa as well."
"We'll see~ about~ that~!"
Whimsicott strode over to the rest of the current campers, saying hello or hi to them before stopping next to Fraxure.
"Hello~ there~! Why're you~ so down~?"
Fraxure turned and narrowed her eyes.
"Because pipsqueaks like you annoy me…" snarled the dragon.
"Well… okay!"
Upon the next Mantine arriving was red colored bug with black spots on its back, navy blue eyes and four arms. In said arms was a rucksack that almost hid her face.
"Hi." she said as she stepped onto the dock.
"Why hello Ledian!"
"Hello…" she looked around. "This is the right place correct?"
"If you want to have money? Yes! Wanna have a bad time too? Double yes!" shouted Victini with glee.
Ledian grimaced.
"Well since you're so happy, you'll be happy to stand over there with everyone else!"
Ledian nodded and walked away, sitting down next to Glaceon. He snorted at the sight of the ladybird.
"Why aren't you a sight to make some sore eyes. Go be a bother somewhere else." he said.
Ledian scoffed and dropped her rucksack on his tail.
"How about no."
"AAH!" he screamed. He quickly pulled out his tail and started rubbing it, glaring at the bug all the while.
"You little…"
A new Mantine pulled up with a small purple imp with blue gems for eyes holding a backpack. He jumped onto the dock with a sloppy smirk on his face.
"Welcome to your new home for summer Sableye! How do you feel being here?" asked Victini.
Sableye whistled. "Awesome. Free place ta' stay and cash if ya' win? Great if ya' ask me!"
The bunny glanced between the three hosts before snorting.
"Though… there is one sore spot here."
"Oh, and what's that fluffy?" mocked Hoopa, uninterested.
"There's been a APB on a loose genie in this area- anyone see the purple guy? Said to have made some robots come to life as a mean prank. He's a nastier shade of purple than me." he joked.
Jirachi stifled a laugh while Victini snickered vigorously.
"That was good one." commented Sandshrew.
Hoopa glared at her, making the shrew flinch before glaring at Sableye.
"You. End of dock. Now." he ordered.
"Oh alright. Can I get my three wishes now or later though?" he teasingly asked.
"GO."
The imp walked away laughing, leaving the mischief maker seething.
"I can't wait until to get to pranking… he'll be the first one…" muttered Hoopa, as Victini stopped laughing.
"Ah, lighten up Hoops, it was just a joke!"
Hoopa glared at his friend.
"Must've missed the part where he insulted you then."
"That's because I'm too good to abuse." exulted Victini, irritating Hoopa further.
Off the next Mantine was a floating ball of green viscous fluid with a body inside- that body being the actual body.
"Welcome Duosion to Total Drama Pokémon! How do you do!?" welcomed Victini.
"I thought it'd be more decrepit but it's nicer than I thought."
"Thanks for the compliment. Hoopa and I worked hard to make the place look great... and to stop it from all falling down."
Duosion eyed the state of the dock and sighed.
"I take that back." he turned back to his host, who was glaring at him. "I'll be going over then, I presume?"
Victini perked up. "Yup. You'll love the rest of this place!"
"How joyous." he said with fake enthusiasm
Duosion floated over to the rest of the campers, eyeing each one before stopping at Whimsicott.
"Hello there. It's nice to see a fellow Unovan." he greeted with a wave.
Whimsicott smiled. "It's nice~ to see you too~!"
"STOP. SINGING." yelled Fraxure.
Everyone had been watching for the next Mantine to appear when a shadow passed overheard quickly, before swooping in for a landing next to Victini. What landed was a large green dragon with red goggles over his eyes, wearing a backpack and a flying cap.
"Hey! I'm Flygon!" greeted the dragon, taking off the cap.
Victini smiled. "Nice to see you made it Flygon."
Flygon looked around, waving to everyone nearby when he spotted the mess the dock was in. He swiftly turned around.
"That's… a real mess over there." he said, concern in his voice.
Victini shrugged. "I haven't had time to clean it. If you want to, be my guest."
"Awesome." he said, walking away.
Victini chuckled and elbowed Jirachi.
"Saves me from doing it- I told you one of them would've done it for us."
"They're your responsibility not your slaves." scolded Jirachi.
"Hey, he offered. Besides, gives me more time with you later." rebutted Victini, a smirk on his face.
Jirachi sighed but made no argument.
"Ah, you give up. Thanks for understanding."
"You better make it good later."
"Aaa… heh…"
On the next Mantine was a rather diminutive monster with sharp white claws on her hands and feet and one bright red feather covering her right ear. She hopped off the Mantine with a cold look in her eyes and a black messenger bag at her side.
"This is the island I'm staying on…? This place looks like… crap. Seriously…"
"Yes… it is." Victini said, eye twitching. He shook his head. "Welcome to the competition… Sneasel."
"Hmm…" she looked around, eyeing the dock. "What shoddy work- weeds, cracks, rust..."
"Are you just going to keep insulting my handyman skills or are you going to hello?" he asked the dark type.
She scoffed. "Maybe if you took the time to give the railing, to the very least, a new paintjob, I'd give it a pass. It's giving me a headache."
Victini groaned and gnashed his teeth in irritation. He pointed over to the end of the dock.
"Get over there." he growled.
Sneasel snorted and waltzed away, sitting down next to Aipom, who had put her backpack in between her and Raichu to give her a little bit of space.
"Place is a craphole." she said as she sat down.
Aipom chuckled. "Yeah, I can agree with that. I've played poker all over the place but this dock feels like it could fall into the lake any minute- which is new."
"Arceus above if it did. I'd rip someone a new one. It takes forever to groom myself." noted Sneasel.
"I'm right there with ya'. I don't like swimming all too much."
Aipom turned to Sneasel and extended her tail.
"Aipom."
Sneasel gave the tail-hand a firm shake.
"Sneasel."
Coming off the Mantine was a poise pokémon, who looked like a martial artist with yellow over-sized sleeves and a pink gi. She caught the attention of the arrived male campers.
"She's a cutie alright, huh." Sableye said, elbowing Fraxure, who only growled in response.
"Wow. Competition, huh, sweetheart." Chespin taunted Sandshrew only to get socked in the face.
"Hi. I'm Mienfoo. It's nice to meet you all." she greeted the hosts.
"Nice to meet you too." greeted Victini. "How about we hurry this along before Hoopa starts drooling."
"Hey!"
"Hehe…" she giggled. "It's fine. I'm taken anyways."
The males frowned and sank at this reveal.
"Ah' fuck, just when I see a cutie, she's takes a dump on me with 'tat." groaned Sableye.
"Hehehe… serves you right fluff-butt." mocked Fraxure.
"Eh, fuck ya'self."
"Well Mienfoo, how about you go on and stand with everyone else?" asked Victini as he nodded over to the end of the dock.
Mienfoo obliged and walked down the dock, greeting everyone on the way. Glaceon stopped her.
"Why hello there…" he said, trying to sound seductive.
Mienfoo gagged.
"That's not going to work on me- what did I just say?" she told him as she walked past him.
"We'll see about that. You can't turn someone handsome like me down…" muttered Glaceon.
The next Mantine arriving carried on it a small brown furred ferret with a large beige 'O' on its stomach and a large brown and black tail- of which it was perched on, waving to everyone as he arrived. He jumped off the manta-ray and landed in front of Victini with a bow.
"Hi, hello! I'm Sentret! Happy to be here, for there is nowhere to see any peer." he said, extending his hand out for a shake.
"Good to see you're happy to be here!" exclaimed Victini, vigorously shaking the ferret's hand.
"Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he that everyone wishes they be?" said Sentret with a calmer expression.
"Ah poetry, I love that. I assume you love it too?" asked Jirachi.
Sentret nodded. "Of course, poetry is the greatest form of literature! It's expressive and of the moment."
"Okay poet laureate, go over there with the rest of them. You'll have a bigger audience."
"Alright!"
Sentret hopped away just as another Mantine pulled up to the dock, this one carrying a small yellow mouse with blue ears, blue markings, yellow minus' in the middle of them, and a blue minus for a tail.
"Hi everyone!" she said as she hopped onto the dock.
"Welcome to Total Drama Pokémon, Minun, I bet you're happy to be here!" greeted Victini.
"Of course I am! It's so exciting to be here- so many new people to meet, so much to do…"
"Well, you'll definitely have a lot to do during your stay here." he gestured to the end of the dock. "Go on over to those guys over there!"
"Okie-dokie!"
She skipped over to the end and sat down next to Duosion.
"Hi, I'm Minun!" she greeted with joy.
"Hmm…?" he looked down at the mouse. "Oh, hi."
"Hi! Who're you!? Wait, don't tell me… Duosion!"
Duosion chuckled.
"Yes, that's me. I'll assume… you're Plusle." he joked.
Minun puffed up her cheeks.
"I'm Minun, not Plusle!"
"Hahaha… don't worry, I'm only joking."
She exhaled.
"Oh, alright!"
Laying back on the next arriving Mantine was a small yellow reptile with a pair of black tendrils. Her blue eyes were focused on the book in her hands, which even as she got onto the dock, never took her eyes off the book.
She ignored the hosts and walked past them and was halfway down the dock when Victini stopped her, putting up a psychic barrier that she stopped only inches from.
"Whoa Helioptile, at least say hello first." he huffed. She turned around and closed the book impatiently.
"Hello. Can I go now?" she asked, an irritated tone to her voice.
"Some of these campers are just ripe for the pranking…" Hoopa whispered to Jirachi who just sighed.
"Yes, you can go." stated Victini, eyeing the oncoming Mantine.
"Thank you."
Helioptile walked away just as the next Mantine arrived with a large ox standing on it. At first glance, the large brown bull with three tails looked as if he were yelling at nothing or maybe the Mantine but upon further inspection there was someone else on the Mantine.
"Oh, look at that, seems another pair this time!" noted Victini as Tauros hauled himself off the Mantine.
"Hmph, little shitstain… can't believe she…" he stopped mumbling when he noticed the three hosts.
"Oh hey."
Victini waved. "Hey Tauros, welcome to Total Drama Island. You sound ready to be here!"
"Oh I definitely am…" he turned back to the Mantine. "Pipsqueak, you gonna snivel all day or show your face!"
Rising off the Mantine was small purple bat with two large eyes and purple eyes- of which had tears rushing out of them.
"Alright, alright! I'm here, I'm here! Don't yell, don't yell!" she cried as she scrambled over to them.
"Hello Noibat, no need to rush yourself. You'll have just as much fun as everyone else." said Victini.
Noibat continued to scramble around, apologizing profusely as she did.
"Slow down kid, you're going send yourself through the fourth wall and into the fourth dimension if you rush around like that." commented Hoopa, who snickered at the sight.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Why were you two together?" Jirachi questioned the bull, who titled his head in a sort of shrug.
"Pipsqueak was tired and decided my back was a decent pillow. Taught her well that I'm not a pillow."
Noibat whimpered loudly at the word 'not' to their confusion.
"Well, how about you two 'buddies' go on and meet everyone else down there!" said Victini, pointing off to the rest of the campers.
Noibat flew away quickly and hid behind Flygon, stunned by her sudden presence.
"Uh… hi?" he said as he stacked two boxes on top another.
"…I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" she squealed, sniffling.
Flygon looked down at her and chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." he said, pulling out a handkerchief. "Here, blow your nose on this. You're sniffling."
Noibat grasped the handkerchief and blew hard into it before giving it back to him.
"Thanks you, thank you." she said, a smile on her face as she fluttered into the air once more.
Flygon nodded as she flew off before holding the handkerchief away from him.
"Ew, disgusting. This is going to need five wash cycles at least…"
Tauros stood next to Fraxure, already irritated by the newest presence.
"Fuck off ox-ass." she said with a scoff.
Tauros snorted. "I ain't going anywhere, you wimpy dragon."
Fraxure shot up and put her face against his.
"Say that again."
"Wimpy dragon."
Victini and Hoopa ignored the noises of pain from the end of the dock, Jirachi rushing over to put an end to it, when the next Mantine arrived. The wishmaker returned just in time for the next contestant to jump onto the dock.
Hopping onto said dock was small brown reptile with a bone mask over its head and wielding a bone club in its right hand. In the other hand, they were holding onto a small travel bag.
"Hey, hi, hello, hi, hey! I'm Cubone!" she shouted. All three hosts flinched but shook it off.
"I like the enthusiasm Cubone, welcome to the competition! I bet you'll be happier to get started!" said Victini.
"Of course~ I would! I love an adventure! This place is full of them- I mean, old dilapidated, impoverished-"
"That's great…" Victini said with a long face. "Go on over to the end of the dock."
Hoopa snickered. "If she thinks this place is an adventure then I'd love to see what she's like somewhere boring."
The next Mantine arrived in time with Cubone walking away, bringing in a small brown rabbit with one ear. He could be heard chatting away to the Mantine, who was clearly not enjoying the companionship.
"Welcome Buneary to Total Drama Pokémon!" greeted Victini as the rabbit hopped onto the dock with a bookbag in hand.
Buneary smiled. "Thisistotallyawesome,I'mreallyherethisissosososossoososososososo-"
"Stop. Sto~oooooopppp!" yelled Hoopa, shutting the rabbit up.
"Sorrryyy!"
"Don't do it again, I think two is enough…" Hoopa demanded as he stared at Cubone chatting with Whimsicott.
"Well I think three's company." Victini said to Hoopa with smirk on his face. He turned back to the hyena.
"Go on and meet everyone at the end of the dock for now! I bet everyone will love you there!"
Buneary hopped down the dock as fast as he could. He landed next to Sentret and sat down down next to him, who still had a smile on his face while he balanced upon his tail.
"HimynameisBuneary!" the rabbit greeted. Sentret looked over to him.
"Oh hello! I'm Sentret! Nice to meet you."
"Doyouliketotalk?Ido!"
Sentret put on a look of thought.
"Hmm… I can talk but do I like to talk? That's a good question every man should think, for one talks but never thinks."
Buneary tilted his head and put a hand to his mouth, bewildered by the poetry.
"What…?" he asked him slowly.
Sentret chuckled. "I would definitely talk with you, but I ask you to speak clearly for me? I can't keep up with you."
"That can be done!"
The next Mantine pulled up and let off a light blue rodent with dark blue patches and spikes on its back. A strap around its neck ended at a messenger back at their side.
She scratched her face as she walked up to the hosts.
"Uh… hi. This is the place, right?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, it is Nidorina! This island is your new home for the summer- best enjoy it now!" said Victini.
"Alright then." she said quietly. She looked around in confusion.
"Where do I go?"
Hoopa snorted. "Where you can see all the other idiots- which is just over there."
He pointed to the end of the dock. Nidorina nodded and walked away as another Mantine arrived.
This one brought along a small panda hauling a backpack on its back and, instead of the usual leaf, a pen in its mouth.
"Pancham, welcome! Great to see you made it!" greeted Victini.
Pancham gave him two thumbs up but said nothing. He looked around and pointed at the rest of the campers silently. Victini took notice and nodded.
"Yes, that's where you'll be going. Don't get lost!" he said.
Pancham sat down next to Chespin, who was holding onto the bruise given by Sandshrew. He noticed his new companion and snorted.
"Hey, how's it going." said Chespin. He held out his free hand. "I'm Chespin."
Pancham nodded and pointed to himself before shaking Chespin's hand, confusing the chipmunk.
"Uh… I know you're Pancham, it's obvious, but it's good manners to say your name at least instead of just pointing at yourself."
Pancham shook his head and pointed to his neck and miming himself gagging.
"Oh, you can't talk. That sucks." observed Chespin.
Pancham held up a finger and rummaged through his bag. Chespin watched the fighting type pull out a notepad and took the pen out his mouth and quickly scribble something down.
'Even though I can't talk, I can still say what I want.' wrote Pancham.
Chespin smiled. "Well that's reassuring."
Coming off the next Mantine was large yellow spider with two large purple eyes complemented by a small group of smaller purple eyes. On her back was small pack with a pillow tied to it.
"Galvantula! Welcome to the island! Doing good I hope?" asked Victini as the spider looked around.
Galvantula huffed and closed her eyes.
"No, I'm not." she moaned.
"Well isn't she just lively." observed Hoopa.
Victini rolled his eyes.
"Well okay then. Go have a lot of fun with everyone at the end of the dock."
"I'm already regretting signing up for this." she noted as she walked past the hosts.
She sat down beside Raichu, who took notice of the spider.
"Excuse me ma'am but you are in my field of view. I ask that you move immediately or else be forcibly moved." he ordered.
Galvantula stared at the mouse, who matched her stare but when he did, he suddenly got nervous and broke away.
"I will tolerate this for now but do it again and I will take action!"
Raichu shuffled over towards Aipom, who was busy talking to Sneasel and Ledian.
"Hey, go back the other way!" shouted the primate.
"Uh…" Raichu took one look at Galvantula and shook his head. "No can do ma'am!"
"Thought so." said Galvantula as she let out a short chuckle.
After a few minutes of waiting for the next Mantine turned up nothing, Victini and Hoopa started to become impatient.
"Now where are they? We don't have all day!" yelled Victini in irritation.
"Maybe the next camper is just that violent or maybe lazier than that spider." said Hoopa while he fiddled with one of his rings.
"Or it could be because the next camper can fly and the Mantine to transport him called in sick?"
The trio of hosts turned to see a small moth with orange and tan wings, orange eyes and a black body with an orange stripe hovering next Jirachi. He had a messenger bag hanging down, weighed down by something heavy.
"Oh, how long have you been here?" asked Jirachi.
"Long enough to fix my laptop." he said, pulling a laptop out of the bag.
"A techy huh? Whatever the case, welcome to the competition Mothim!" said Victini.
Mothim slipped the laptop back into the bag and chuckled.
"It's great to be here and to have the opportunity to win a crazy amount of money."
"And a lifetime supply food as well but only if you win, which you probably won't, let's be honest."
Mothim stared at Victini quietly.
"Now go on and join your fellow campers at the end of the dock!"
Mothim flew away just as another Mantine pulled up with a small, gray, bouncing pig with a large pink pearl on its head. He bounced off the Mantine and landed on the dock with a spring.
"Hi!" he looked straight at Victini. "Ooo, you're Victini! It's great to meet you! I loved your web-series V for Victory!"
"Nice to meet a fan!" replied Victini. "I mean, I'm not doing that for some time but it's nice to know someone knows where I came from!"
Hoopa noticed the look Victini was giving him.
"Tch, whatever…" he said as he teleported money into his hand and started counting it.
"Well Spoink, I'm sure you'll enjoy this show- you're on it! Go on over to the end of the dock to meet everyone else!" said Victini as he gestured to the end of the dock.
Spoink bounced away with a goodbye, missing the moment when Hoopa handed Victini a stack of money.
"Five-hundred poke. You win."
Victini took the money and quickly counted, smiling when he confirmed the amount before teleporting it away.
"Thanks for betting with the Victory Pokémon." said Victini as he noticed the next arriving Mantine. "Oh look, another one's arriving."
Disembarking this Mantine was a wispy black spirit with its face being hidden by an old tree stump with two large red eyes peeking out. In her stubby hands, she was hauling a bag twice the size of her with noticeable effort.
"Wow, so this is it, huh? Really cool but it's no video game or anything though... hehehee~" she said. "I'm Phantump!"
"Yes, you definitely are." Victini rolled his eyes. "Welcome to the competition Phantump!"
"So awesome to be here! I couldn't believe either- this might have been a dream but it isn't! And not mention all the comics th-"
"Okay, enough girl- I get it, you're excited!" he clapped his hands then pointed down the dock. "Go on over to the end of the dock." Victini lamely ordered.
"Hehehe…" the ghost chuckled awkwardly. "Alright."
Phantump floated with the pack in tow. Hoopa held back a laugh as the ghost left.
"Wow, what a dweeb. I'm amazed she didn't have an inhaler or something."
"I know, never meet someone like that before. I already don't like her." admitted Victini, who turned to watch the water for the next entrant.
"Don't just judge her yet, she may just be a quirky kid." added Jirachi.
The three heard a shout from nearby.
"Watch where you're going tree-stump!" yelled Fraxure.
"Wait, not the face! I pruned it this morning" yelled Phantump.
Victini looked at Jirachi with straight face. She shook her head and sighed.
"Eh… okay, she's quite the dork."
"Who is?"
Victini spun around to see a mid-sized primate with orange fur, tan in some places, red and blue markings around its eyes, and a long, slender orange tail that was on fire although the fire was rather small. A strap wrapped around their chest leading to a messenger bag on the back.
"Oh, hello Monferno. Welcome to the island!" he hurriedly greeted.
Monferno smiled and put a hand behind her head.
"It's cool to be here, thanks for inviting me. Can't wait to win!"
"Well, you're not going be a happy camper when you lose then- which is likely to happen!" cheered Victini.
Monferno frowned.
"Now go join the other potential losers over by the end of the dock!"
Monferno was only a few steps past the hosts when a bone slammed into her face, knocking her down.
Cubone ran over. "Oh no, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! I was just showing off my boomerang skills and-"
Monferno got up and brushed herself off before giving the skull helmeted ground type a smile and a thumbs-up.
"Ah, it's cool! It was just an accident! It's not like this is going to be something that happens again."
"Yeah, you're right!" said Cubone as she picked up her bone off the floor.
They left the three hosts behind as a Mantine pulled up and let off its passenger.
"Hello there Buizel, welcome to Total Drama Pokémon!"
Stepping onto the dock was an orange otter with a yellow underbelly and a yellow adornment on his neck. He was carrying a briefcase with him and was smiling to the hosts.
"It's nice to be here." he simple said as he set down the briefcase.
"Well I bet you would think it'll be really nice to win lots of money!" said Victini.
Buizel nodded and his smile turned into a confident smirk.
"Definitely. I aim to have fun in the meanwhile and make friends."
"Friends or not, you're going to have to work hard to win and I'm sure you'll never get that far with how I work!" gloated Victini, much to the otter's chagrin.
"Okay." the otter walked away, briefcase in hand, and sat down next to Sableye.
"'Ey, how's it goin'?" asked the rabbit.
"I'm fine, a little tired but fine." said Buizel as he stretched.
"If you're lookin' for a' pillow don't even tink' about my ass. It's not a comfortable 'nough pillow."
"Hahaha, no I think I want to sleep on a real mattress and not concrete unless I'd like to sleep with a ground type." said Buizel with a smirk on his face.
"Ooooo, that was good!" Sableye said with a clap of his hands.
"Heh, I don't do mother jokes but I have a good sense of humor." replied Buizel.
"Hah, so do I otter-boy!"
Sableye held his hand out.
"Sableye, pro in makin' ya' laugh and havin' a good time in, and outta the house."
Buizel shook his hand with a laugh.
"Buizel, pro with the trumpet, music, and a way with hands."
The two stared for a moment before they started laughing louder.
"Oh… will you two shut the fuck up and stop making those stupid comments!" yelled Fraxure.
Stepping off the last arriving Mantine was a large pink sheep with wool on its head and neck and a pink and black stripped tail with a blue orb at the end. She wore a messenger bag on the side and had a confident smirk on her face.
"Hello. I'm Flaafy." she announced as she walked up to the hosts.
"Nice to see you made it Flaafy." greeted Victini.
"It's nice here." she said taking a glance around before tightening the strap to her bag. "But the best part will be winning."
"You best be ready to lose then!" shouted Victini, making Flaafy roll her eyes.
"Now go on and stand with everyone else!"
Jirachi leaned into his ear.
"Vicky, that was the last camper."
"Oh… it was?" the wish-maker nodded. "Well that's great!"
"What a perceptive person you are Vick." sneered Hoopa, only to get an ember to the face.
"Ah, what the hell!"
"Let's get on with this before those embers turn into a fireball." noted Victini.
The host flew over to the crowd of pokémon at the end of the dock, Hoopa and Jirachi behind him. The camper's turned their attention to him when he clapped his hands together.
"As I've probably said plenty of times before, welcome all of you, to Total Drama Pokémon. The thirty of you are lucky to be in the running to win the grand prize of five-million poke, a lifetime of poke puffs and… one last secret surprise for the winner to be revealed once they win!"
"I'm guessing a pretty please won't suffice in revealing it then?" suggested Duosion.
"Win the game blob-boy and you'll find out!"
Duosion winced at the insult. "Right…"
"Before we get started, why don't we take a picture to commemorate this moment? I'd bet you'd love to remember your time here!"
Jirachi came forward, camera in hand. Sneasel scoffed.
"Wow that thing is old. Did you buy it in a garage sale?"
"Heh… I won it in a bet actually." admitted Victini. "Now everyone, group together for the picture!"
"Get away from me you damn ox!" yelled Fraxure.
"You're in my way, get out of it!" shouted Tauros.
"Walnut, you come any closer as' I'll crack ya' like one." threatened Sandshrew as Chespin inched closer.
He turned and glared at her. "Fuck you, I can stand where I want!"
Mothim moved closer to the middle only to smack right into a hovering Ledian, making her drop her luggage.
"AH!" yelled Monferno when the sack fell on her head. "Why me…?" she groaned.
"Whoops, sorry." he apologized to the two.
"Eh, it's fine. People tend to forget I'm here at all." she admitted.
Monferno rubbed her head. "It's fine. I'm not hurt, just damaged."
"That's the same as hurt." both bug types point out. They glance each other and chuckle.
"Well, you're all close enough, so look forward and say… 'Indigo!'"
"INIDGO!" the group shouted as the picture was taken. As it did, a portion of the dock, cracked under the weight of all the campers.
"Make way!" shouted Glaceon as rushed away from the crumbling dock.
"Children first!" yelled Minun.
Everyone else followed suit and ran onto the beach where they would be safe.
"Well that was close. Almost took that swim I didn't want." joked Aipom.
Victini floated over to the campers standing on the beach, a smile on his face.
"Now that was a happy moment wasn't it?!"
"If you count almost going for a dip in dirty water a happy moment, then yes." said Flygon as he shuddered at the thought of dirty water.
Victini closed his eyes and a smug smirk appeared. "Since you're all on the beach, how about we get the show on the road?"
He pointed ways down the beach to a small inset area amongst the cliff with a spot for a large campfire and log seats spread out around it.
"That over there is the campfire elimination. Whenever a team loses, they must vote on who they want to kick off the island and it will be revealed at the campfire. Whoever the lucky person is, they will walk down the Dock of Lame and leave the island on the Mantine of Disappointment!"
"Whatifitsatie?" asked Buneary.
Everyone stared, unable to translate what he said until Spoink spoke up.
"He said, what if it's a tie?" reiterated Spoink at a slower speed.
"Well it's simple my little piggie! If there's a tie then it will be decided between a second vote, only this time, two candidates, the final two. If that is a tie as well, then it will come down to a tiebreaker game!"
"Is there a way to come back? A second chance would be so nice!" said Minun.
"There is indeed one chance to come back but I'll explain later when Hoopa does he part." Victini turned to the mischief maker, not actually meaning to tell them. "Right, Hoopa?"
"Yeah, yeah I know what to do."
Hoopa floated in front of everyone and summoned a list with names on it.
"From this point forward, there will be two teams- A and B."
"That's pretty creative genie- did it take a wish to think that up?" mocked Sableye.
Hoopa fumed while a good portion of the campers, plus Victini, snickered at the joke.
"Minding interruptions, team A, from now on, will comprise of: Sandshrew, Nidorina, Tauros, Flaafy, Sentret, Noibat, Helioptile, Whimsicott, Mienfoo, Fraxure, Monferno, Sableye, Buizel, Spoink, and Buneary!"
"I'M ON TEAM WITH HIM/HER!?" shouted Tauros and Fraxure. The two turned and glared at each other.
"Well, this'll be a jolly time…" lamented Nidorina as the two started hurling insults to each other.
"Ignore them, it work's wonders." said Helioptile, not even glancing up from her book.
"Awesome, we're on the same team!" said Sableye.
Buizel nodded and smiled to the imp. "This worked out well… though I'd give anything to have those two stop."
Sandshrew walked up and chuckled. "Even if they stop, me an' Chespin would be just the same."
"You and Chespin aren't liable to maiming anyone- neither of you have sharp or pointy bits." Buizel pointed out.
"Yea', you're right."
Hoopa ignored the yelling match and summoned a different sheet of paper.
"Team B, from now on, will comprise of: Ledian, Sneasel, Aipom, Chespin, Phantump, Pancham, Duosion, Galvantula, Minun, Aggron, Flygon, Mothim, Glaceon and Raichu!"
"Oh joy, you gave us the dweeb." moaned Galvantula as she squinted at Phantump.
"Yeah! …Who's the dweeb?" he asked, confused.
"Trust me, that dorky kid is better than the you in so many ways…" Duosion commented. Galvantula glare but did not respond.
Aipom gave a weak punch to Sneasel's shoulder. The cat winced but smiled.
"Look at that, same team!"
"Yeah, the winning one." sneered Sneasel as she watched Tauros and Fraxure continue to fight. "Glad to not be anywhere near that."
"Same."
"Damn… I wanted to be on the same team as Mienfoo." groaned Glaceon.
"Grow up casanova, she doesn't like you." Mothim told the eeveelution. He turned and glared at the moth.
"Says you, nerd."
"Campers!" Victini yelled, stopping the shouting match and drawing everyone's attention to him. "Good to see you all still have ears. Follow me to the camp!"
A short walk gave the campers the view of the camp, which was really two large cabins, a mess hall, a large hut marked restroom, and another, smaller cabin behind it marked 'off-limits'.
"Wow…" said Monferno, whistling at the sight. "It looks…"
"Like total garbage." scorned Galvantula.
"Actually, I think it's better than expected. I expected the buildings to also be falling apart but I guess there is some effort here." admitted Duosion.
"It's not safe! It's not safe!" observed Noibat when a piece of siding fell off the mess hall.
"It's perfectly safe, trust me. It's just needs some more TLC than we previously thought!" rectified Victini. "Onto other things, this will be where you'll all be staying! And since using letters for team names may be just a tad boring…"
"Knew it!" shouted Sableye. Hoopa scowled at him.
"Team A is now the Jolly Jolteons and Team B is now the Fiery Flareons!"
"Better be happy now shiny eye bastard..." Hoopa muttered just loud enough for Sableye to hear.
"I heard that genie."
"The cabin on the left of the mess hall is the Jolteon cabin and vice versa is the Flareon cabin!" continued Victini. "And over there is the bathrooms but not only do they provide showers and toilets, it's also the confessional booth as well! A space saver …and a money saver too."
"You're cheap? We had no idea…" mocked Sneasel, earning a fiery glare from the host.
"Anyways…" he said through his teeth. "Inside the confessional, you guys are free to talk about your feelings on well… anything! May it be related to the challenges or your fellow campers, vent away! We may or may not show on TV!"
Victini paused.
"And don't worry, the camera can be shut off if you need to actually go."
"Oh good, I thought you'd be showing that too…" said Flaafy, breathing a sigh of relief.
He clapped his hands together and smiled.
"So… how about you all give your first opinions on the island and your teammates and how you feel about the competition in general and afterwards, we'll head on out to do the first challenge!"
Buneary hopped up and down in glee. "Iwannagofirst!Memememememememememe!"
Raichu shuffled over to Duosion.
"Think that recruit is actually old enough?"
The psychic watched the hyena slam into Spoink, who then bumped into Minun, who then electrocuted Monferno.
"AAH! Come on!"
"No…" he said, his tone in disbelief. "I don't think he is…"
[\/\/]
Victini floated in front of the camera, leaving enough space to show the stall was simple wooden one with a single window and an off-white toilet.
"This place is fully functional courtesy of me an' Hoopa! Showers, bathtubs and sinks plus the obvious behind me." he said, gesturing to the toilet below. "I hope everyone at home enjoys the likely colorful commentary to come out of this place!"
The snapping of wood could be heard and the camera was suddenly looking at the ceiling.
"Fuck."
[\/\/]
"It'ssocoolhere,everyone'sawesome,there'ssomuchtodoandsomuchtoexplore!" Buneary said in his fast-talking manner. He paused, popping up his his lowered ear.
"What was that?" he said in a slower speech, his voice much deeper. A creak could be heard.
[\/\/]
"Summer grows with the many, putting us all in our pretenses and against the nary; depositing us in our… damn, what next?" Sentret asked himself.
He paused and his face drooped into a sadder expression.
"I hate it when I can't complete a poem." he shrugged and perked up. "Eh, what can you do?"
[\/\/]
Helioptile sat in the stall silently reading the same book as before, not even minding the camera when a creak reverberated through the room. She pulled down from her eyes.
"What was that?"
She gave it a few seconds before shaking her head and going back to her book. The second she did, a plank of wood fell from the roof and hit her over the head.
[\/\/]
"The rest of the team is cool, I just know they're all gonna love having me around and I know that I'm gonna love winning all the much more!" exclaimed Phantump.
"Now if they all stopped insulting me and let me hang out with them, that'd be great!" she closed her eyes in thought. "But I guess talking about video games, comics and tabletop RPGs is not what most people want to do anyway, but I have nothing else to talk about really… except boys. I can always talk about them!"
[\/\/]
"This place is a nightmare of health code, fire safety, and building code violations. I'm shocked it's standing upright at this point." remarked Duosion as he scanned the thin cracks on the wall under the window.
"On the flip side, the other's here will be easy to overcome and if I play all my pieces right, I'll get a checkmate, and win the grand prize." he paused. "Oh gods that was lame…"
[\/\/]
"Everyone should just drop out now- they stand no chance against me and my looks… unless they want to be charmed…" Glaceon said with a smirk on his face. A groan could be heard but the eeveelution ignored it.
"Maybe I'll start with seducing that Mienfoo then move on to that little Minun- cute little lady deserves a strong, handsome man like me."
A large plank of wood quickly slammed down onto his head.
[\/\/]
"This fucking sucks! I'm stuck with that fucking ox of a moron, it's a long way to the money and I'm already fucking EXHAUSTED! ARGH!"
Fraxure banged her fist into the back wall, creating larger cracks than before.
"Not only that, but that fluff-butt gets on my nerves and that stupid cotton ball won't stop singing! I don't know who's the worst person on this goddamn team!"
[\/\/]
Pancham scribbled in his notepad for a few minutes before showing off what it is to the camera.
'The team is really understanding of the problem with me not being able to talk. In fact, none of them said it was a problem at all! The only one to say something remotely mean was Galvantula but I don't count her- she's just a lazy grouch.'
He flipped onto the other page and wrote down something else; showing it off when he was done.
'I think this whole competition is a neat idea- not original or anything but a lot of fun when you have the chance to make some long-time friends here.'
[\/\/]
Raichu was standing at attention in front of the toilet. He stared at the camera for a good time until Victini could be heard yelling something incoherent at Raichu.
"The lieutenant said to talk about how I feel! I feel…" Raichu stop and rubbed his chin in thought.
"I don't know honestly. Most of my fellow soldiers are good people though Galvantula could do with more energy, Sneasel could be less critical of everything, and Glaceon could do with some self-restraint."
[\/\/]
Whimsicott stood in the windowsill, blocking the view of her face using the light but what could be seen was a creepy smile and crazy looking eyes.
"This place is per~fect~ for what I~~ have in mind~~! And every~one~ will be my~ sub~ject's~!"
[\/\/]
"This team is alright, could do with some more sensibility and less arguing but it's alright. Though I'll probably have to straighten out some heads by the end of the week if they continue." said Flaafy as she looked up out of the window, with yelling that could be distinctly heard in the background.
"I hope one of those two are eliminated soon…"
[\/\/]
Sandshrew sat in front of the camera with looking down her eyes closed.
"I can't stand that cuntmunk but if he leaves me alone, I'll leave him 'lone too. But if wants a fight, I'll give a right shiner if I bloody have ta'."
She sighed and opened her eyes.
That being said, I think this whole competition is 'right: lots of money on the line, challenges, and twenty-nine other blokes trying to win all the same. Heh… kinda interesting in all the roight ways in my eyes."
[\/\/]
"Duosion is awesome! He knows sooo~ much and he's a lot of fun to be around! The others are okay too. But that spider? Icky! And that sword? A weirdo!" pattered Minun. She puffed her cheeks out and frowned.
"That Glaceon is really awful too- he keeps telling me things about how I'll be his! A loser like him will never get me!"
[\/\/]
"I came because I thought it was easy money and now I regret it in every way." noted Galvantula, a disgruntled look on her face.
"Maybe I can take the 'easy way' out but even then, that's work. All I want to do right now is sleep and eat."
[\/\/]
Flygon was cleaning the window in the background with a towel.
"It's going to take forever to clean this entire camp… oooh… I can't stand it! Rrr…" he groaned.
[\/\/]
Sneasel is seen cleaning a glass lens, eyeing it ever so often.
"Yes, I'm little harsh about everything I see but someone has to be the critic. Besides, I don't like to settle for less than perfect and this place is certainly far from it."
She shook her head and put the lens in her bag.
"All that aside, this competition will be a cinch hopefully. And if I win, which I will, it will feed my hobby all the more. Maybe even during my time here I can get some stuff done."
[\/\/]
Chespin sat with a scowl and his arms folded.
"I hate that shrew. It's only been about an hour and I hate her guts- she cheats to win and then insults me left and right! I can't wait to prove I'm better than her."
He let his scowl fade into a calmer expression.
"Aside from her, most of the people in this camp are… well I can't say they're all nice, great or kind but I can say that most of them are pretty cool to hang out with. Mothim is welcoming, Aipom is friendly, and while Raichu may be a by the book guy, he's kind when he lets go."
[\/\/]
"I can code in five languages, I can write programs of all kinds, and I've got a couple of websites to my name, so mentally I'm good. But an actual physical competition? It's not something I'm meant to do… which is why I'm doing it. Can't go far in life if you don't take risks." explained Mothim.
He then looked away. "There's also the little tidbit of being friendless… I kinda want to solve that too."
[\/\/]
"Everyone here is a wimp, a piece of shit and in my way- especially that two-tusked dragon bitch. Hmph, she's not all that strong. I can take her no problem! And once I do, the rest of the team will bend to my word." said Tauros, who chuckled at the thought.
A knock on the door could be heard.
"Wanna try and say that in front of my face, ox?"
[\/\/]
Aggron was staring at the ceiling, which had bits and pieces falling from it.
"Hmm…"
He then looked to the camera and rolled his eyes. He reached forward and tilted it up to show a large indent in the ceiling with two smaller holes to the side, as if something pierced through unlike the main indent.
[\/\/]
Spoink slowly bounced in place, an annoyed expression clear to see.
"Ever since I translated what Buneary said to actual spoken words, he hasn't left me alone and considers me his 'best friend'. While I like the gesture, I'd like some privacy."
He sighed. "Besides him, this game will be a total pain knowing how Victini operates- he acts kind and all but underneath that kind exterior is someone crafty, and he loves to watch things go wrong for others. It's why he wins his bet every episode…"
[\/\/]
"That genie is a total asshat. I'd give anything to knock him down a peg, what with how he keeps picking on me but then again, he can't take a joke, can he?"
A portal opened up above the unsuspecting Sableye and before he could speak again, a bucket of seaweed was deposited on him.
"Oh yuck! That motherfucker… Hoopa!" he yelled.
[\/\/]
Hoopa was before holding in laughter when Sableye yelled.
"Oh that was perfect… there's gonna be more where that came from-"
He was cut-off when a bucket of toilet water came through the same portal and drenched him.
"Sableye…" he said through his teeth.
[\/\/]
"While Sableye seems mean, he's actually just a joker. As I've talked to him more I find that he loves to live in the moment, isn't afraid to speak his mind, but knows when to fold if he's in over his own head. We match well." said Buizel.
"For the rest of the team, we're pretty tight… mostly. But Flaafy is dependable, so if Mienfoo, Nidorina, Sentret and, when she isn't hurt, Monferno. We'll do good."
[\/\/]
Nidorina sat quietly in the stall for a few minutes before saying anything, a worried look on her face.
"I'm… slightly out of my element. So much anger around- in both teams no less. I'm kind of… afraid of what may happen but all I can do is forge ahead. Just stay calm and quiet Nidorina, and you'll win- just imagine one time where everyone's freaking out, that's when she'll pull ahead." she told herself.
[\/\/]
Ledian had her arms folded and a displeased look on her face.
"It's starting to happen already; the others are forgetting about me entirely. I know Mothim didn't mean it but it's hard to miss someone who is bright fucking red! No matter where I am and who I'm with, I'm always that damn third wheel, the forgotten one, the fourth person in a group walking down a sidewalk, behind the other three…"
She paused and looked down, twiddling with her hand.
"It's really… depressing honestly. Kinda why I'm such an angry asshole..."
[\/\/]
"Everything is big, everything is big! And scary, scary…" said Noibat as she peered out the window. She turned back to the camera with a concerned expression on her face.
"But I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll win, win!"
A plank of wood falls from the ceiling behind her, making a bang as it hit the toilet.
"Ahh, monster, monster! Help, help!" she screamed, rushing past the camera.
[\/\/]
"This place is going to be so fun to stay in! So much to do and the sense of adventure? It's all around me, calling for me to explore!" Cubone said with a large smile showing through her mask.
"And I have plenty of people to rely on during my escapades… and during the competition too. I can't wait to get the grand prize, so I can so spelunking for the rest of my life!"
[\/\/]
"Looking at the current cast to see who could potentially rival, only one comes up, Duosion. And that's only because he seems like a smart guy- the type to take the lead and the type to see things in more than one way." observed Aipom. She shook her head and started to shuffle her deck of cards.
"Meh, I've got time to worry later... For now, I'll just keep a good pokerface, take the reins of the team... and maybe get an alliance going early? I dunno, it seems to work in these type of games..."
[\/\/]
"Okay, so I've had a few accidents from the time between arriving and this point but those were all flukes! I'm good, honest!"
She looked around for a moment, expecting something but nothing happened.
"Phew… onto other things. This show will probably be a ton of fun- opportunity to make friends, have some fun and occasionally go rock climbing. I don't actually foresee myself winning but if I do, all the better."
Monferno got up to leave only for the ceiling to partially collapse on her, depositing a small pile of debris upon the monkey.
"He… help…" she squeaked.
[\/\/]
"Well, was that everyone?" Victini asked the campers as Jirachi did some first aid on an unconscious Monferno in the background.
"Can I go again? I want a redo." asked Glaceon.
"Sorry ice-breath, the challenge calls." said Hoopa as he came out from the bathrooms with a towel in hand, still dripping wet.
Victini eyed his co-host up and down, confused.
"How are you wet? You fall in the toilet or something? I'm not letting you near me if you did- you'd stink up my good smells."
"…no." Hoopa said, giving Sableye a glance. Said imp flipped him off.
"Well okay then! Onto the challenge! Follow Hoopa everyone, I'll meet you all there. Just a few things need to be prepared!" called Victini as he flew off to the 'off-limits' cabin.
Hoopa sighed and flew over to a trail.
"Over here. Follow and don't get lost." he ordered. He flew on down the path, not caring if they followed or not.
Cubone walked up to Minun as they started walking down the path.
"Wonder if the first challenge will be a fun adventure!?" she asked the mouse.
Minun hummed. "I hope it is!"
Up front, Hoopa overheard the two.
"Oh, you all have no idea…" he whispered to himself as he flew along.
That's it for the introductions. I don't have much else to say down here other than please leave your thoughts, I'm always glad to read them.
Or shout at me till you voice pierces the heavens because aye just be another copycat. Whatever suits you.
See you next episode on TOTAL… DRAMA… POKEMON!
Näeme hiljem!
[Updated 7/17/17]
