Yeah! First chapter of my new series, inspired by DarkAmphithere's "Total Pokemon Island and DarkReconz's "Pokemon Drama Island". I have received DA's permission to use the basic idea (34 Pokemon compete on an island). Thanks for reading and enjoy! I will be using DarkAmphithere's confessional format.
Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama Island, Pokemon, Nintendo, or GameFreak, only the personalities I create for my characters.

*screen comes into focus*
A tall, gray Pokemon with a long banded neck was standing in front of the camera.
"Hello, viewers! I'm Giratina and this is Total Drama Pokemon!" Giratina turned, "over at the other side of the dock is my co-host, Deoxys! In this show, 34 Pokemon, two of each type will compete in various challenges to win two million dollars and a lifetime supply of… rare candies! Say hi, Deoxys!"
A red and blue humanoid Pokemon with a green crystall in his chest waved a hand unenthusiastically.
A small pink and blue Pokemon poked its head out from behind the camera.
"Hi! I'm Porygon and I'll be doing camera work!"
Giratina stared before speaking. "Who told the camera guy he could interrupt?" He said, obviously trying to stay calm.
"It's in his contract that he gets an appearance at least once an episode. He works for next to nothing though, and he's one of the best around, the studio hired him."
"Fiiiiiine," groaned Giratina, " but I don't like it, and I don't like him, so—"
"Contestant!" Shouted Deoxys
Giratina turned to find a green Pokemon with scythes on his hands getting off of a small boat.
"Hey," the Pokemon said, "I'm Scyther."
"Well, you're the first to arrive," Giratina told him.
"Fitting, seeing as I'll be the last to leave this place, too," he said, a smirk on his face.
"Well, go wait over there," Giratina gestured toward the other end of the dock by Deoxys as another boat stopped by with two more Pokemon.
The first, a small blue Pokemon with red spikes running down his back, jumped up and down excitedly.
"Hi! I'm Totodile and I can't wait to start!"
"Mmmhmm…" Giratina nodded. "That way," he pointed with a foot, which Totodile bit into. Giratina's eyes narrowed, "Deoxys, get this guy off me NOW!" He shouted.
Deoxys hid a smile as he used telekinesis to remove Totodile from Giratina's leg.
The other contestant, a Lombre, waved and spoke, "Hi, I'm Lombre. Thanks for inviting me," he said dully.
"Aren't Lombre supposed to be jolly?" questioned Deoxys.
"I don't know, does it matter?" Lombre asked as he walked toward the others.
"OH MY ARCEUS!" Squealed the Pokemon at the end of the dock. The small white and blue squirrel's eyes were wide with wonder. "I'm Pachirisu, and I can't believe I'm really here! Wow, you're Giratina! Do you know Mew?"
Giratina seemed a little confused. "You… you're not on my list."
"Check again, only this time for Gardevoir," she said.
"WHAT? You can't just pretend to be someone else! And besides, the audience loves Gardevoirs!"
"Well, you didn't respond to my actual request," she said. "Or the one as Squirtle…or Cleffa… or Bidoof, or Jigglypuff, or Torchic, or—"
"Never mind!" shouted Giratina. "Just—just stand with the others!"
A splash was heard from the end of the dock, and Giratina turned to look.
A bluish clay Pokemon was climbing onto the dock after falling into the water.
"Hey," he said, smiling awkwardly, "I'm Golett. I'll just go with everyone else"
Dusclops arrived next, and after introducing himself, stood behind Lombre.
A blue dragon Pokemon with a red head walked off the next boat, a nasty grin on his face.
"Move it, ugly!" He shouted as he shoved Giratina to the side a little.
"You must be Druddigon," Giratina said while clenching his teeth.
The next boat was a little larger and contained three more contestants. First, a purple serpentine Pokemon introduced herself as Arbok before slithering beside Druddigon. The next two contestants were both brown and white normal-types.
The first one stood and saluted before speaking, "Saaaaalutations!" he said quickly, an odd glint in his eyes. He continued speaking, even more rapidly, "Linoone here, destination: unknown island, objective: acquire goods."
Giratina stared for a moment before recomposing himself, "That way, Linoone."
"Leeeeeeeft…right, left, right, left, right…" Linoone shouted as he marched over to a spot near Golett.
The other normal-type spoke up, "I'm Eevee. It's good to be here," he said, grinning as he stood beside Totodile.
A large black bird now stood on the dock. He had a red comb of feathers hanging over his face, and a serious expression on.
"Aren't you a bit young to be a Staraptor?" asked Deoxys.
"Why? It takes no more than hard work and discipline—aside from the blood and tears of your enemies that is," he said, as he stood alone, behind the rest of the Pokemon.
"Yeah, he seems like a really fun guy," Deoxys muttered under his breath.
The next boat contained Caterpie, who shyly introduced herself before Weedle arrived. He started to introduce himself before seeing Caterpie, at which point he stopped midsentence to stand with her.
"Hey," Weedle said, "I'm Weedle."
"I'm C-caterpie…" she said, smiling gently.
Next, a tall, gray Pokemon with a blue skull introduced herself, "I'm Rampardos. First person to mess with me takes a dirt nap. Got it?"
Giratina was taken aback for a moment before turning his attention to the next contestants.
Electrike hurriedly introduced herself before standing by Eevee, who smiled at her coolly. She turned her head away, though, much to Eevee's annoyance.
The next contestant was a silver bird with red wings—a Skarmory. She took a stance next to Staraptor.
Combee arrived next and all three faces started talking at once, "Hi! We're Combee and we couldn't be happier to be here! We're soooo excited to make friends and compete!"
"That way," Giratina said. He was really getting tired of this, he wanted the real show to start.
Combee flew over to Electrike cheerfully, who looked at Combee with mild disgust.
A small purple Pokemon arrived next, a grin on his face. "I am Sableye," he rasped in an odd, high voice that made Pachirisu shudder.
Goldeen arrived next. She carried herself with a sense of importance toward Combee.
As the next contestant stepped of the boat, the male contestants turned and stared. She was rather short, but this was only complemented by her green skirt and orange flower hat.
"I'm Lilligant," she spoke in a soft voice. She walked over to Lombre and smiled, but received no response.
Relicanth swam over next, he and went to sit by Goldeen, who viewed him distastefully He was followed by Donphan who seemed friendly but gruff, and stood by Arbok. The next Pokemon wore a short black dress and a large bow. She was a Gothorita, and went to stand near Rampardos.
A purple pokemon floated up next, curled into a ball with pink mist emanating from her head. She spoke, although her eyes were shut tight, "hello," she said, yawning. "I'm Musharna."
Musharna was followed by Torkoal and Shelgon who were talking on their boat. As they came closer, it became apparent they were leaning over the side, speaking with someone else as well. Shelgon walked onto the dock first, but he was followed by Torkoal. She waited at the dock even though Shelgon had gone to stand near Donphan. A small, round Pokemon popped out of the water and rolled toward Torkoal.
"Thanks for waiting up," the Spheal said.
"No problem," Torkoal replied, as the two girls walked after Shelgon.
Meditite and Machoke were speaking on the next boat, and the fighting types went to stand with Scyther. Afterwards Ponyta arrived, and leapt quickly off the boat, eager to escape the water. She introduced herself on the dock and stood by Skarmory.
"Hi!" shouted the next contender as she waved her arms. She looked similar to a large green dinosaur of some sort, and had a blue belly. "Hi! I'm Larvitar!"
Giratina blinked. "No, you're quite obviously a Tyra—"
"Shhhh!" interrupted Deoxys. He then floated closer to whisper in Giratina's ear. "In her file it says that, after eating enough dirt out of the bottom of a mountain to evolve, she caused a landslide in which her brain was damaged. Even after evolving again, she still thinks she's a Larvitar.
"Right then…" Giratina said before hearing a heavy exhale behind him, causing him to jump.
Sitting there was a brown and grey bug skin with a silver halo above his head.
"Oh," said Giratina, calming down, "you're probably Shedinja, then?"
Shedinja stared for a few seconds before floating to the back of the group.
The next boat seemed enormous, and more heavily built than the others.
"Why is that boat so—" Deoxys started, before stopping and staring at the next contestant, "—big" he finished.
Standing on the dock, causing it to lean and creak, was a huge, metallic, snakelike Pokemon.
"We accepted Steelix?!" Giratina shouted to Deoxys.
"Don't look at me, I don't remember doing this," Deoxys said nervously.
"Well, I'm here…" Steelix said, smiling sheepishly, as he moved off of the dock.
"Ahem. I'm here for the competition," said a voice. A short Pokemon with a body resembling a snowy pine tree said.
"Well, Snover, looks like you're the last one," Giratina said, relieved.
"OK," shouted Deoxys, now floating above the 34 Pokemon. "Follow me as I talk. First order of business is teams, so listen up! Dusclops, Lilligant, Sableye, Combee, Caterpie, Druddigon, Torkoal, Relicanth, Spheal, Pachirisu, Arbok, Electrike, Totodile, Golett, Musharna, Rampardos and Snover; you are now the Raging Reshirams." Deoxys paused at the campgrounds before continuing, "that means the rest of you will be the Zealous Zekroms. Which, to be clear, means Scyther, Skarmory, Gothorita, Staraptor, Steelix, Shelgon Ponyta, Lombre, Meditite, Machoke, Goldeen, Eevee, Weedle, Donphan, Tyranitar, Linoone and Shedinja. That," he said, pointing to a metal room near the edge of camp, "is the confessional. It's for saying private or secret things, or really anything you want to share with the camera. This side of camp is for the Reshirams, that one is for the Zekroms. Black cabins for boys, white ones for girls. Make sense? Good."

*Lombre sits for a moment, then sighs heavily.*
000
Pachirisu: I'm soooo excited to be here. I've watched pretty much every show ever, but my favorites have always been reality shows, especially the Survivor-type. I loooove Total Pokemon Island, and I really love Mew. I would totally date him.
000
Linoone: Cameras? In the facilities? Quite odd. Yes, yes, yes—odd, odd, odd
*he looks around for a moment before leaning in very close to the camera* Raspberries.
000
Eevee: I can't believe Electrike turned me away like that! But it's okay, she'll come around…they always do.
000
Weedle: Wow, Caterpie is really cute! I hope she likes me!
000
Caterpie: It's really nice to have someone being friendly to me already…I have trouble making new friends sometimes.
000
Electrike: Get a load of that Eevee guy! Who does he think he is? And don't even get me started on Combee—like anyone's really that nice?
000
Combee (in unison): Wow, it sure is wonderful to be here. We're sure everyone's going to be suuuper-nice!
000
Sableye: *grinning* Hopefully this will be…interesting.
000
Torkoal: This seems like it'll be fun. I've already made some friends…
000
Machoke: I've got this competition in the bag! I know that a lot of the challenges will be physical, and I plan on getting the toughest of the tough to help me. Let's see who…
000
Tyranitar: Why does everyone keep looking at me?
000
Shedinja: *stares, then exhales heavily*
000
(empty): *Steelix from outside*: I guess I'm here by mistake, but they're letting me stay, so I guess I'm kind of lucky in a way. Anyways, I'm real psyched to be here, I just hope my size doesn't get in the way…
000
Giratina couldn't help but smile as his turn to speak came: "Everyone follow me to the cliff for the first challenge!" This was going to be wonderful, he thought, as he saw the mixed expressions on the campers' faces. Absolutely wonderful.

Hey everyone! Thanks for reading and please review and tell me what you think! This was probably a bit too short, so I'll work on making future chapters longer. I'll probably put a poll on my page in a chapter or two for favorite characters after you get to know them a little better. For now, any feedback is much appreciated... favorite character so far, hopes for the future, etc. It doesn't matter, just let me know what you think so I know you're reading.
