Yep. This is happening. I did it.
I'm sorry if you actually liked my old season, but the grammar was terrible, the contestants were so off and I was hating it more and more as I went on.
Why will it be different this time? WELL...
1: The contestants are well thought out this time.
2: The elimination order has been decided.
3: Teams have been decided.
4: I'm much better now that I was with the last story.
This season only has 20 contestants which makes it much easier for me, a beginner in the TPI writing world. Only one contestant from the old season made their way back this season, and that's only because I wanted them to be here, they just kinda fit.
Without further ado, I hope you enjoy SEASON ONE of ANOTHER Total... Pokemon... ISLAND!
A Gliscor and a Heliolisk were sitting on a fallen tree in a forest. A cruise ship could be seen in the distance.
"Stupid Beheeyem! Why did he have to let him host a challenge?" The Heliolisk said angrily.
"Don't you mean why did you let Beheeyem host a challenge?" Gliscor responded irritably.
They watched the cruise ship grow smaller until it was impossible to see, then they both sighed.
"Well, we still have each other," Gliscor said, grinning weakly.
"Oh Joy," Heliolisk responded in a false cheery mood.
After a short moment of silence, Gliscor added: "I don't know what Beheeyem was expecting when he eliminated the only contestant anyone liked."
"Eh, he wanted to get rid of a threat," Heliolisk supposed.
"Whatever," Gliscor responded lazily.
...
He then sighed and stood up. "Well… Not much we can do here on this island."
"How about… How about we host another show?" Heliolisk suggested.
"That could work, but we don't even have a cruise now, Beheeyem took off with it along with the other contestants," Heliolisk muttered, standing up as well.
Another voice spoke. "Hi you two, shame the game ended, I was having fun," a Haunter said, smiling at them both. "Sableye and I weren't allowed on due to something about a deep hatred for ghost types," she explained. Sableye, who had been standing next to her, waved.
Gliscor smiled at them both. "Hi, guys! What do you two think of another season? We can't exactly do as much as last time, we may have to stick to an island, which is a bit of a shame."
"There's a problem with that," Sableye said, looking around. "We're on an unknown island with no way of advertising."
Gliscor sat back down and frowned, but Heliolisk smiled. "I have the videos on my mobile device. We can get some of these guys who didn't make the cut. You two can be in it as well if you want."
"That sounds great! Those other guys were really depressing. I hope it'll be much happier this time," Haunter said gleefully.
Sableye thought about it for a moment, twiddling his thumbs as he did so. Eventually, he smiled and stared at Heliolisk. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm good thanks. Can I work with you two though? In production, I mean."
"I mean, I'm not sure, from what I've learnt about you, you're not quite hosting material," Gliscor said, smiling feebly.
"Oh, I see… Well, I'll just go drink and continue crying myself to sleep. You know, being all depressed and stuff. I never wanted to exist in this world anyway, my life is pointless. Anyway, off to a random uncomfortable rock to sleep on-"
"OKAY, okay, I get it. Fine, you can work with us. Heliolisk, you call the best ones that we rejected." Gliscor started planning the season in his head excitedly.
Sableye put his hand up as if here to ask a question in school. "As a helper, can I suggest the idea of starting with a Heroes Vs Villains series? It'll be cool. Let's use twenty contestants, ten heroes and ten villains."
"I like this new worker already," Heliolisk said, smiling slightly as he made the first call.
"Wait, we don't have a camera," Gliscor stated suddenly, his dream season disappearing from his head.
"This phone's camera has a stupidly high quality," Heliolisk told Gliscor. "Sorry, that wasn't to you, Klang. What were we talking about? Right, transport... Uhh..."
"Is there a problem, Heliolisk?" Gliscor asked.
"Yes. We have no way of transport to and from this island." Heliolisk said, frowning. "Hold on for just a second, Klang."
"Do you have the Ubers app on your phone? You know, where you call an Uber Pokemon to transport people elsewhere." Haunter asked.
"No, but I'll download it now. Klang, tell me your location, an Uber Pokemon will transport you here in a sec." Heliolisk said before ending the call. He then proceeded to download Ubers. "A FIVE HOUR DOWNLOAD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FU- ARGH!" He kicked a large stone on the floor in rage and swore loudly, hopping around. The other three chuckled as he did so.
-EVENTUALLY-
"It finally loaded... YAY." Heliolisk stated, miffed.
"Great! Anyone available?" Gliscor asked, staring at Heliolisk's phone.
"Loads of Aegislash's. That's it." Heliolisk responded, flatly.
"Oh, you can do better than them, they're so annoying to talk to. Try and look for a legendary." Haunter said, laying on the grass.
"No way would legendaries sign up to do this... Oh, a Genesect! Cool!" Heliolisk said happily, selecting the Genesect. Within an instant, the Paleozoic Pokemon appeared, smiling at them.
"Yo! Genesect here, where are you guys going?" The Genesect spoke in a deep, robotic voice. Sableye stared at him in awe.
"A LEGENDARY POKEMON, YOU'RE SO COOL, SIGN MY ARM," Sableye shouted excitedly. Genesect sighed and did so.
"Can you pick up a Klang? They're currently in Hau'oli City, by the harbour." Heliolisk said with a slight stutter.
"Right. Back in a second." Genesect disappeared and then appeared a few seconds later, holding a Klang and a Klink.
"Klang!" Heliolisk smiled, then looked puzzled. "Klink?"
"Trust me, this wreck here needs his little brother. He's so clumsy and silly without me." Klink said, a dull tone in his voice. Klang nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I only ever get things wrong. I can be useful sometimes though, right Klink?" Klang asked, hopeful.
"Of course, dude. You just need a little support. I can't believe he recorded an audition without my permission, but I'd like to participate in this season too." She said. "If I can, that is."
Heliolisk shrugged his shoulders. "That's cool with me I guess. You two are both Heroes along with Haunter, go stand together over there." He pointed to an open spot of grass, and the three contestants went over there together.
"Hi, you two. I'm Haunter." Haunter said excitedly.
"Really? I couldn't tell by the fact that Heliolisk called you that OR the fact that you ARE a Haunter." Klink responded bluntly.
"Sorry about her, she's a bit rude at times." Klang rolled her eyes at Klink, who smiled mildly.
"Am I done?" The Genesect asked Heliolisk.
"Listen, will you be available in about twenty minutes? I need to make some phone calls and get other people up here. We'll pay you afterwards." Heliolisk asked back. Genesect nodded and disappeared.
-EVENTUALLY (again)-
Heliolisk called Genesect back and he instantly appeared in front of them. "Now, go to these exact locations and pick up the Pokemon there. I'd like a two-minute time gap between each one. Sorry about all the inconvenience, this is for an internet show."
"You're asking for a lot, but I guess so." Genesect responded calmly, before disappearing. When he returned, the third contestant appeared next to him. It was a black serpent with multiple gold hexagons running down their back, long, blood-red fangs and a strange purple shape just below their mouth. She walked over to Gliscor, smiling. "Hiya, guys! I'm gonna love this season!"
"Seviper! You're a villain, go stand in that other open spot." Heliolisk said, forcing a smile. He disliked all serpentine Pokemon.
Seviper stared at Heliolisk sadly. "Villain? Why!? I'm a nice person, I'm not a villain!"
"You poisoned a guy in your audition. I know your game, Seviper." Heliolisk said suspiciously.
"No, he was standing too close to my tail! My fangs are poisonous anyway, not my tail. All I did was cut him slightly. I'm a good person!" She wailed.
"I highly doubt it, but either way you're on a team of villains. Now move it, you." Heliolisk hissed.
"GLISCOR! We're very sorry Seviper, Heliolisk is never like this, I hope you enjoy this season." Gliscor slapped Heliolisk hard on the back.
"She's a SNAKE. You KNOW I hate snakes." Heliolisk muttered, folding his arms.
Seviper smiled at the other three not too far from her. Haunter smiled and waved back along with Klang. Klink just sighed.
After a short while, Genesect appeared again, talking to a Yanmega. "Thanks for bringing me here, you're pretty cool, dude," Yanmega said in a loud but smooth voice.
"Yanmega, you're on the Villains team with Seviper, go stand with her," Gliscor said, smiling. Yanmega smiled back.
"Cool." He responded quickly, walking over to Seviper. "Hello, Seviper. Villain, huh? Don't you dare try and get me out, unless you want to go home."
"You don't scare me," Seviper retorted. Yanmega stared at her evilly.
Just then, Genesect appeared holding the sixth contestant, a Bergmite. As soon as Gliscor noticed the new Pokemon, he retreated in fear. "Was it something I said?" Bergmite asked innocently.
"You're fine, Bergmite. Well, maybe, I put you on the Villains team, can't remember why." Heliolisk shrugged his shoulders. "Go stand by Yanmega and Seviper."
Bergmite slowly made his way over to the other two villains. "Great, a little kid like you on a team of villains." Yanmega frowned.
"Oh trust me, I don't want to be on the same team as you either. Yanmega are gross. Easy to beat in a battle, though. Especially an arrogant one such as yourself." Bergmite smiled sweetly as he said this. The other contestants, except Yanmega, stared at the Bergmite in surprise. Yanmega flew over to Bergmite with a visible look of distaste.
"Look, little one, the child mind may THINK they're superior to another, but in most cases, this one included, they'd be wrong." Yanmega spat on the floor. "I'm sorry if I'm confusing you."
"Look, calling a young adult a child may seem like a good way to insult someone, but in most cases, this one included, it wouldn't be." Bergmite looked at Yanmega uninterestedly. Yanmega scowled.
Just then, Genesect returned again with a Roselia, who quickly hopped off. She brushed herself down and very quickly walked over to Gliscor, Heliolisk and Sableye. "Where do I stand?" She asked in a very disgusted manner. Gliscor stared at Heliolisk disapprovingly. Why would he pick her?
"Stand by Seviper's group," Heliolisk responded. Roselia looked at both groups.
"Who's Seviper?" She asked. Gliscor's stare intensified. Heliolisk pointed to the Villains group.
"Hello, fellow contestants." She said in a false tone of cheeriness. The others stared at her, highly unamused by her presence.
The three heroes were talking quietly to each other. "Why are all the villains appearing one after another? Surely a hero has to be next." Haunter said.
"Eh, I don't really care," Klink said dully. Klang nodded.
Genesect appeared yet again, holding a small Pokemon. The Pokemon was mostly white, with what looked like a hockey mask over their face. They had a large protrusion on their back and vivid blue eyes. The contestant hurried over to Gliscor and tackled him by accident. "HIYA! I'M ARON!" She said excitedly. Gliscor tried to smile back despite being in pain. "Hello, Aron. Join Klang and their group."
Aron then quickly ran over to the other Heroes. "HOWDY KLANG! HOWDY KLINK! HOWDY HAUNTER!" She said excitedly. Haunter grinned back, while Klink looked away bored. Klang went over to her and the two started talking.
Genesect reappeared yet again, this time holding a Karrablast. The Karrablast hopped off of Genesect's back and hurried over to Gliscor. "Tell me what team I'm on already!" Karrablast said, his voice surprisingly gravelly. "You're with the villains. Go to Yanmega's group." Heliolisk said, and Karrablast did so.
"Hello, temporary friends," Karrablast said before laughing heartily. Both Yanmega and Bergmite rolled their eyes.
"What makes YOU think you're superior? Hmm? HMM!?" Aron ran over to him angrily. Bergmite cringed at Aron's behaviour. Karrablast stared at Aron rudely.
"How about the fact that I can actually shut up?" He responded coolly. Aron huffed and walked back to the heroes. Bergmite appreciated and laughed quietly at her defeat.
Next to appear with Genesect was a Glalie. The Face Pokemon slowly made his way over to Gliscor, not looking anywhere in particular. Once he reached him, he quietly said "Which team?" in a very dull, blank voice. "Err, you're a villain I assume. Walk over to Yanmega-" And with that, Glalie made his way over to the Villains team.
"Hello there, new teammate," Karrablast said in as kind a voice as he could. Glalie just stared at him, his face expressionless. Seviper felt a little creeped out.
After a short, awkward pause, the eleventh contestant appeared. He was hiding his face from the others without moving for a few seconds, but then smiled awkwardly and hurried over to Gliscor. "H-hi! I'm Excadrill." He said. He then slapped himself in the face. "That's not what I was going to say. What team am I on?"
Gliscor chuckled, making Excadrill blush and hide his face again. "A little nervous are we? You're on the Heroes team. Go join them over there." Gliscor pointed to the Heroes and Excadrill walked over there, getting slower and slower the further he went.
"HIYA! I'M ARON!" Aron shouted shrilly, making Excadrill fall onto the floor. He quickly hid his face.
After a bit of general discussion, the next contestant arrived. He was a small Pokemon with a cream body and a large, dome-shaped face, presumably made of steel. He silently walked over to Gliscor. "What team am I on?" He asked. His voice was barely audible and occasionally went high pitched as if he was also part dog whistle. "You're on that team, Shieldon," Gliscor said, pointing to the heroes. Shieldon was about to make his way over to the group when out of nowhere, he was tackled by Aron, who squealed loudly.
"YOU'RE SO CUTE! LET'S BE FRIENDS! I LOVE YOU!" She stated extremely loudly. Shieldon sat there on the floor, not responding. Aron cleared her throat, before adding "Sorry, I didn't mean that" in a very calm, soft voice.
"It's fine." Shieldon squeaked. The tiniest hint of a blush could be seen on his cheeks.
Genesect appeared again, and a Caterpie appeared. It looked smaller than most Caterpie and had a frown on its face. When it eventually reached Gliscor, its frown grew when it realised how small it was compared to him. "Hiya Caterpie, join the Hero team over there." Caterpie started walking to the other Heroes.
"Hello, Caterpie. Want to stand on my head so you can see things a bit better?" Haunter asked kindly. Caterpie sighed depressingly but nodded. Haunter scooped her up in her hands and placed her on top of her head.
The next Pokemon to arrive was next to Genesect, not on top of him. The hairy crab immediately ran over to a tree with incredible speed and punched it so hard that it was uprooted from the ground and fell over with a mighty thud. The Pokemon then roared loudly before stomping over to Gliscor and Heliolisk. "WHAT TEAM AM I ON?" Crabominable asked, growling afterwards. "Over there, by Yanmega," Gliscor said, slightly pale. Even Bergmite looked slightly frightened as the Woolly Crab Pokemon made his way over to them.
After another pause, the next Pokemon appeared, a small Foongus. He looked around menacingly, before laughing loudly. He then ran over to Gliscor, smiling. "Hello, host, co-host and... intern?" His greeting turned into a question when he saw Sableye. "Oh what the heck, where are the contestants?" He turned to the two groups, before saying "Hello everyone! Prepare to be annihilated! I'm winning this one way or another, you hear me?" He then jumped over to the Villains team (he had decided that this was his team for no particular reason) and smiled threateningly at the others. The other contestants were confused more than anything else.
Up next to appear with Genesect was an ice cream cone. She was wearing an extremely sweet smile. "Vanillite, join the Villains team," Heliolisk said, a bit creeped out by her smile. "Villains? Why would you consider me a villain? I specifically told you that I'm not a villain, and you know I did." Her voice diminished in sweetness as the sentence went on. "Making you a hero would unbalance the teams and anyway, you were cleaning a knife in your audition, so join the group that Seviper's in," Heliolisk said. Vanillite's left eye twitched, but she remained smiling as she walked over to join the rest of the villains.
"Hello teammates, I hope we can all be friends!" Vanillite said in her falsely sweet voice. "I don't," Karrablast said, a bit louder than he had intended. Vanillite's smile remained, but she seemed a bit put out by this comment.
Shortly after that, the seventeenth Pokemon appeared, a large Pokemon resembling a snow-covered coniferous tree walked over, smiling. "Hello everyone." He said in a very calm, soothing voice. Gliscor smiled unconsciously.
"You DO know he's an Ice type, right?" Heliolisk asked, waiting for a hilarious reaction. Gliscor's smile faltered very slightly when he heard this, but he remained calm. "Just go and stand with the others."
"Just go and stand with the others," Gliscor said, an obvious tone of fear in his voice.
"Uh, you okay, host?" Abomasnow asked.
"Just go and stand with the others," Gliscor repeated before Abomasnow even got a chance to turn around.
Abomasnow glared at Gliscor strangely, before turning around to look at the others. "You're over there, by the way." Heliolisk pointed at the Heroes. Abomasnow nodded and walked over to them.
"Hiya, friends! It's nice to meet you all!" Abomasnow said, smiling. "Hiya!" Haunter said, floating over to him a bit too quickly
"Hiya!" Haunter said, floating over to him a bit too quickly and knocking Caterpie off of her head. "Oh, I'm sorry Caterpie!"
"It's fine, I've fallen greater heights before," Caterpie replied sadly. Abomasnow and Haunter both frowned.
A small "Hi" escaped Shieldons mouth, while a very loud "HI!" did the same from Arons. Excadrill just smiled slightly and waved.
Genesect then returned holding two contestants. They were both talking to each other, but one of them didn't seem to be enjoying the conversation. In fact, three of them wanted to get away from the conversation.
"Hello, Combee. You're on the Heroes team." Gliscor said, and Combee flew over to the Heroes.
The other one frowned at the sudden end of a rant she was having. She then threw the leaf mask strapped on by the back of her neck onto the floor and started to stamp on it. "HOW DARE YOU, COMBEE. GET READY TO FACE PAIN!" Her face went from a golden yellow to a light red.
"Calm down gamer nerd, join the villains on the Villains team." Heliolisk pointed to the heroes.
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME WHERE TO GO?" The small bug type frowned.
"I'm the Co-Host, so join the others. Anyway, I think that's all of them Gliscor, should we start with the first challenge?" Heliolisk asked in a slightly eager manner.
"As great as that sounds, we should explain things first," Gliscor said, flying into the air to make sure everyone was focused on him. "Hello, contestants. Before we start, you-" But before Gliscor could finish talking, Genesect appeared once more with a Zubat.
"Hiya!" Zubat said excitedly. "I'm so happy to be on one of these shows! I-" "Yeah, we get it Zubat, shut up."
"Yeah, yeah. Join the heroes, we're a bit rushed for time." Gliscor said irritably. Zubat flew over to the heroes and floated quietly.
Gliscor stared at the contestants. "No more interruptions? Cool. Basically, you-" But before he could start again, Genesect appeared in front of him."
"Pay up." He said blankly.
"Doesn't it pay you automatically or something?" Heliolisk asked, staring at his phone.
"Yes, but you didn't have enough money on your phone." Genesect responded curtly.
"WHAT? I have LOADS of money on this phone! Oh, hold on..." He checked the back of his phone. On the back, it had the words "Arcanine for daiz" written in the corner.
"Welp, I'm getting sued. Anyway, how much money do I owe you?" Heliolisk asked.
"Ten Pokemon Dollars." Genesect responded. Heliolisk sighed.
"I hate to do this, but do any of you have ten dollars?" Heliolisk asked the contestants.
The two groups awkwardly looked around, hoping one of the others would pay. Eventually, Yanmega sighed loudly and gave Heliolisk ten dollars. He then gave the money to Genesect, who flew off.
"So guys, this season is technically season two, but not really. This island doesn't really have anything but by the power of magic, you'll all be followed and caught on camera anyway. Your team camps can be anywhere, build them if you wish, just make sure you can reach here, as this is both meeting points as well as the elimination ceremony area. For confessionals, idfk, magic will let you do confessionals wherever and no one will see you do it. Here, everyone can do their own right now."
Roselia: This place SUCKS. Let's just get this over with so I can get the money already. I mean seriously, there are literally NO cute boys for me to like. Well, I guess Foongus is kind of adorable, but the whole "annihilation" thing irks me.
Bergmite: This'll be a piece of cake. I've already planned the eliminations, sorry if you're rooting for somebody other than me, they're going home eventually. You can count on it.
Haunter: Maybe I'll get more friends than last season. I mean, those old guys were kinda bad. Now I'm on a team full of good guys!
Karrablast: Everyone here seems kinda sucky so far. Eh, it could be worse I guess.
Vanillite: I don't like how these people are treating me. They'll respect me in the end, one way or another.
Foongus: I'm already imagining it. I with a free cruise and- Wait a minute, without the cruise we're fighting for nothing... Eh, it'll be fun to win this competition.
Excadrill: Uh, I was kinda forced to do a confession, so hiya.
Sewaddle: I BROKE MY LEAF MASK. THIS COMPETITION IS THE WORST!
Klang: As long as Klink stays in, I know I'm safe in this competition! AS LONG AS KLINK STAYS IN.
Combee: Us three have decided that we're going to spend our time here helping everyone befriend each other. Bee #3 does make a good point though, half of us are baddies... Makes it more a challenge! Let's go, us!
Shieldon: Very rarely will you catch me actually saying stuff to people. To myself though, it's fun. I mean, my voice hurts people. Dogs cower in fear when they hear me speak. Here though, I'm safe.
Zubat: Hi guys- No Yanmega wait, it's my turn to-
Yanmega: This competition will be easy to win. I'd prefer not to use force, but if that's necessary, I'm super strong. Fast, too. | Zubat: Yanmega, can I go now? | Yanmega: Yes, please leave, I need to use the bathroom | Zubat: No, I mean- Oh, fine.
Caterpie: This is more than getting tormented at school, right? Not really. Everything here sucks. Life sucks. You know what, I hate every- WHO WAS LAST IN HERE? THIS REEKS OF-
Abomasnow: Hello! I'm Abomasnow, lover of animals and all good things!
Seviper: WHY AM I A VILLAIN? I don't hurt people... Well, on purpose that is. I'm a pain magnet, except the pain is to others. It's worse than being a pain magnet to yourself!
Glalie: ...Hello.
Aron: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! THIS IS GONNA BE SO FUN! -loud squeal- I'M SO EXCITED! Oh, and love you Shieldon! Sorry, I need to stop with that. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Klink: As much as this sucks, I need to support Klang. I'm actually going to hate this experience.
Crabominable: I like smashing stuff. SMASHING STUFF IS AWESOME! Unless it's a girl. Well, in that case smashing is still awesome, if you know what I-
Aron: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Well, that was that!" Gliscor said cheerfully. "Now, you lot need to find places to sleep. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning, be sure to make it back here! Oh, and as a reward for giving us the ten poke dollars that we needed, you get a sleeping bag Yanmega."
"Great!" Yanmega said.
Yanmega: I wouldn't just waste ten poke dollars on a stupid little thing like that. I knew they'd be nice enough.
"You campers get some sleep, have a party, whatever, I couldn't care less. Heroes, you go left into the forest. Villains, you go right, also into the forest." Heliolisk said, and both teams made their way into the forest for their first night sleeping.
-HEROES-
"How about we sleep in the trees here?" Haunter asked as the group walked on.
"I sense a cave nearby," Zubat said, and he flew off. Nobody decided to follow him.
"So guys, where are we going? I can sleep standing up, I just don't want to be separated from you guys." Abomasnow admitted, shrugging his shoulders.
"What, you afraid of the dark or something? You're a real hero." Klink asked, laughing.
"Guys, don't fight. We've just got here, don't ruin things for the rest of us already." Combee sighed.
"What? I don't want to fight, that was just Klink responding." Abomasnow said, a bit confused.
Klink just laughed. "Worried about the opinion of a stupid bee?"
"Can you shut up about this? There was no need to say any of this, Klink." Caterpie said quietly, frowning.
Klink laughed again, a bit more audibly this time. "A Caterpie stating their opinion? Hilarious."
Caterpie slowed down a bit and looked at the floor. Haunter wanted to fight back and argue, but she failed to think of anything.
After a minute of awkward silence, Excadrill opened his mouth and quietly uttered the words "Klink, shut up."
Caterpie had spent the last minute thinking of what to say back to him. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong time to say the wrong thing. "You think I'm bad? Imagine being Klang over there!"
Klang frowned and looked over at Klink for support. She herself just sped up.
~A Few Minutes Later~
"Guys? I just noticed something..." Haunter told the group, looking around.
"What would that be?" Aron asked, completely oblivious to the tension in the group. She was walking next to Shieldon, who was looking everywhere but at her.
"There's only nine of us. One of us must have gotten lost." Haunter explained, frowning.
"Are you sure? I have an excellent memory, what with the three brains and everything, and I don't remember anyone other than us nine." Combee said quickly.
"Hmm... Oh, what about that new guy? We didn't see much of them, who knows?" Haunter asked. Combee thought about it for a moment before nodding.
"Right, let's split up and look for the new member. Haunter, Excadrill, Abomasnow, go left. Klang, Klink and Caterpie, go right. Aron, Shieldon and I will go right." Combee decided, and with that, they all went off, some rather reluctantly.
-VILLAINS-
Most of the contestants on the Villains team were thinking to themselves about their strategies, with Seviper, Crabominable, Foongus and Roselia as exceptions. Foongus was too busy talking to Roselia, who was rather uninterested in their conversation. Crabominable was loudly stomping along, occasionally bumping into a tree and swearing at it. Seviper was just tired of the long silence.
"Seriously, do any of you bad guys talk to each other?" She asked aloud, extremely bored. A few of the others grunted in response.
"I'LL TALK TO YOU!" Crabominable yelled loudly. Seviper looked around awkwardly, before quietly saying "Sorry, but no."
After a few minutes of silence, they reached an open spot and decided to stay there for the night. After about half an hour, only one of them were asleep, their snores louder than a jackhammer. Crabominable.
"I NEED MY SLEEP!" Sewaddle whined, wriggling around.
"Now, now. I say we all move to a different location, FAR away from Crabominable." Vanillite said cheerily, smiling at everyone. "Not to be rude to Crabominable, of course. For some strange reason, I am unable to sleep in these conditions." She spoke slowly, planning every word. A few of the others nodded. With the exception of Crabominable, they all got up and left.
-KLINK, KLANG & CATERPIE-
Klink and Caterpie were both really awkward around each other. Klang was quietly humming to himself, enjoying the journey. Klink smiled for a very brief moment when she realised this.
"So guys, what species do you think the new contestant is?" Klang asked, smiling. No response.
"Guys? You two okay? Sis?" Klang asked, his smile now a frown. The other two remained quiet, almost as if one was trying to out-silence the other.
-VILLAINS-
Eight of the villains were walking to find a better spot. Crabominable could still be heard in the distance. Bergmite had wandered off on his own path earlier, and Seviper was considering doing the same. "Hey Roselia, what do you think of me?" Foongus asked awkwardly, twiddling his arm-like stumps. Roselia was going to pretend to smile, but then she decided that Foongus wasn't even worth a smile.
"You're great." She said in as sarcastic a voice she could manage. The obvious sarcasm must have gone straight over Foongus' head, as he quickly smiled and blushed.
Roselia: Who does this kid think he is? I've never seen a bigger idiot in all my life, and almost everyone I see is an idiot.
Foongus: She loves me! I think. No, she definitely does. Do you guys agree? I- Wait, I need to stop. The money is all I need to focus on right now. I got this! MWA HA HA!
-ARON, SHIELDON & COMBEE-
"So Shieldon, have any hobbies?" Aron asked, giggling the entire time. Shieldon was busy thinking of a way to hide from her. "Shieldon? CONFESS TO ME YOUR HOBBIES." Aron said, her laugh temporarily became a shriek. Shieldon, in a state of panic, ran off from the other two. Aron quickly followed after him. "MAYBE HE CAN SENSE THE CONTESTANT!" She yelled, and her voice trailed off as she ran.
"Should we follow them or continue on the main path?" One of the Combee heads asked. "I think we should keep going straight, I doubt this new guy would go through such a random, insignificant path." A second head said in a very know-it-all fashion. "I agree with the second head, straight is the way to go." The main Combee head stated, continuing on. "...Homophobic much?" The first head said to themselves quietly, and the two top heads chuckled. Then, Combee headed straight on.
-HAUNTER, EXCADRILL & ABOMASNOW-
"So, new guys, how does it feel to be a contestant on a show like this?" Haunter asked, smiling widely at them.
"Honestly, it doesn't feel as weird as I thought it would," Abomasnow admitted, shrugging her shoulders. Excadrill just looked away awkwardly.
"Excadrill are you shy? Sorry if I'm making you awkward, I'm only trying to understand each contestant." Haunter said to Excadrill, her smile now apologetic.
"Yeah..." Excadrill smiled very slightly back at Haunter.
"I'm so excited to get a second chance!" Haunter said gleefully. Abomasnow looked at her.
"What do you mean, second chance?" He asked curiously.
"Oh, well I was part of an original cast, but the show got cancelled, but I'm still here!" Haunter explained, smiling all the while.
"So we're the backup cast, is that it?" Abomasnow asked, his heart sinking a little. "We're the second-best group?"
Haunter regretted her choice of words. "No, not at all! I didn't mean it like that." She tried to think of a better way to phrase it, but when no ideas came to mind, she just looked at the floor as they continued walking, and Abomasnow crossed his arms.
Haunter: So much for a better, happier season, I've already made an enemy, it seems.
-VILLAINS-
The remaining villains (Seviper had gone off as well) had found a better spot to rest on the other side of the island, away from Crabominable. Most of them were a bit bored of walking.
"We can finally sleep peacefully," Yanmega said, smiling at the group. "That's good, right?" A few of the others nodded in agreement.
After a few minutes, all were asleep except for Foongus, who was planning something. His plans to cleverly win the game was already being forgotten, and having Roselia go out with him was his new mission. He quickly hopped over to the sleeping Thorn Pokemon and laid down next to her to rest.
Karrablast: That dude's really trying hard. Better make sure it doesn't become an actual thing, or they'll become a threat. Hmm...
-TIMESKIP, SEVIPER-
-3 AM-
"This is much better." Seviper said to herself, on a thick branch of a tall tree. She finally had some time away from other contestants. This was when she had time to think about things. I'm supposed to be on a team of villains, her mind said to itself. Firstly, I'm definitely not a villain! Secondly, half of the people on my team are idiots, not villains. She angrily stabbed at another branch, where an apple became loose and fell.
-ARON & SHIELDON-
"WE'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE, ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?" Aron asked, wildly chasing after a very nervous Shieldon. Eventually, he had had enough.
He turned around to face Aron. "Can you GO A-" But before he could finish his sentence, an apple bounced off of his round head and hit Aron in the eye. He then quickly calmed down and walked up to her.
"Are you okay?" Shieldon squeaked, his voice breaking during the last syllable. "I-I see when I'm not wanted." Aron cried, turning back in the other direction. She quickly stomped away, crying loudly.
"Nice one." Seviper said from up in a tree, laughing by accident.
"YOU HIT HER IN THE EYE!" Shieldon's voice was even higher than before. He then gasped. "W-Wait, you're on the Villains team! You really do deserve to be put on that team!" Shieldon yelled, seething with anger at what had happened. He then quickly ran after Aron, leaving Seviper very unamused.
Seviper: Maybe I really am a villain. I LAUGHED AT THAT. WHAT KIND OF PERSON LAUGHS AT THAT?
Shieldon: I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE. I HATE EVERYTHING.
Aron: Shieldaron is no longer going to be a thing, no matter what.
Shieldon eventually caught up with Aron, who was bawling uncontrollably.
"Aron, listen, it wasn't me, it was Seviper from the Villains team," Shieldon said, hoping this would work.
"OH YEAH? PROVE IT!" Aron asked, stamping one of her feet on the ground angrily.
"What if I said... Well, uh... I... Loved you..." Shieldon immediately regretted his words, as Aron quickly tackled him.
"YOU DO? I LOVE YOU TOO! I FORGIVE YOU! SHOULD WE GET MARRIED NOW? HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?" Aron screamed into Shieldon's ears.
Shieldon: Nothing else was going to work, was it?
Aron: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK
-COMBEE-
Combee ended up by a cave. "Heroes contestant? You in here?" She asked, looking around.
"Huh? Oh, I am! Hello, Combee!" Zubat said, smiling at them.
"Really? A Zubat? We didn't realise you were gone." Combee admitted.
"I told you guys I was going to sleep in a cave, didn't you hear?" Zubat frowned. He thought he had made it quite obvious.
"Oh well, should we rest here? We're going to have to get up soon." Combee suggested, and they both fell asleep.
-TIMESKIP-
At this point, most people were asleep, with a few exceptions. It was 5:59 AM. In a minute's time, Gliscor was going to announce the first challenge to them.
...
The minute seemed to be an hour long
...
Time always does feel slow when you're waiting such a short time...
...6 AM.
"CONTESTANTS, GET READY FOR YOUR CHALLENGE!" Gliscor shouted to the contestants. Despite the fact that the island was fairly large, they all heard it because TPI magic, shhh. "I hope you guys remembered how you got to where you were because you have to make sure your ENTIRE TEAM gets back to where we started. The first team to have every member here wins the first challenge!" Gliscor explained to them all.
Most of the contestants swore.
That's the end of the first chapter. Please review and let me know what you think of this as a first chapter. I know I'm a pretty bad writer at the moment, so I'd love some advice from any of you guys. I'd also love to see predictions, purely because I have the elimination order planned out and I'd love to see how your results compare to the actual results.
So yeah, that's the cast of twenty, hope you're excited for Chapter 2!
