Total Pokémon Island Episode 2: They'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain
"Last time on Total Pokémon Island, 25 contestants were introduced, along with me, my wife, and Chef Keckleon. After introductions, the campers learned about their first challenge: each contestant will be put on the large cliff in a straight line and they all have to frantically look for the island's campsite. Last one to finish is out of the contest. They'll be sent home on the Lapras of Losers," Turtwig says into the large lens. There's nothing like being a TV sensation! Sniggering, Turtwig blows an air horn as he let the campers sleep over the night to prepare for the challenge—but they slept in sleeping bags on the dock.
"THE JEWISH ARE COMING! THE JEWISH ARE COMING!" Wobbuffet screams as he wakes up and thrusts his tail on the dock.
"Shut up! I really am Jewish! Don't make me sue you-" Kadabra was cut off by Turtwig.
"NO! NO…no suing…hehe?" Turtwig quickly pleads.
"IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, MINUN!" Plusle cheerfully proclaims. Minun stands up, randomly lets out static electricity on Cubone, and is fully awake within a few seconds.
"YAY!"
"Um, that attack didn't affect me. I'm a ground-type," Cubone points out. He knows the basic strategies of weakness and resistance.
Zorua wakes up with Hoppip on her face. With a giant Sucker Punch, she was able to hit Hoppip into the water—she was all wet and stuck in it.
"HAY ALP! HAY ALP! I'M A HOP PIP PIP glub glub.." Hoppip gurgles.
"I gotcha! Let me use my magic and knowledge" a purple, Twilight Sparkle wannabe Wailmer says as he catches the Pokémon in his mouth. He was asleep in the water, of course.
"Ok, then. Campers, be sure to get in the helicopter within ten minutes"
The contestants, all fully awake and ready to go, all nod in agreement and begin to go ahead and climb into the helicopter. The helicopter was so tight that some of the Pokémon had to hold onto the railing at the bottom while screaming.
All 25 contestants look two ways. One way has a steep slope slumping into the woods. The other is a thousand foot drop to the Sharpedo-infested waters. Turtwig announced the contest begins and that they have to walk on foot or swim—no flying, no teleporting. As the host is lifted into the air and watches, the campers begin to form mini teams to work together.
"Ok, me Eevee, Buneary, Riolu, and Spinda are a team," Bidoof claims, with the others nodding in agreement.
"Sure, whatever makes me win!" Eevee smiles. She likes Bidoof.
"WOBBA! KADABRA! MUNCHLAX! HAPPINY! YOU'RE ON MY TEAM" the PokéNazi screams into the air.
The rest of the campers sort of go on their own. It appears they'd rather not work together. Elekid looks worried. He doesn't like either route.
"I have no idea how to do this. I guess I'll just have to ram my way into the top, huh? I'll hitchhike I guess—the only way to do anything," Weedle cries.
"Great, stuck with PokéNazi and fatso. This can't get any worse…I'm getting a migraine!" Kadabra struggles to keep himself clear in the mind. His psych and intelligence feels as if they are being deleted.
Marill, Wailmer, and Surskit jump off the cliff and into the water. Marill speeds her way through with an Aqua Jet and already approaches the sandy bank of the island. Wailmer, however, is pretending to zap the sharks with his magic. Surskit is skidding across the water in hopes to find the campsite. To Surskit's luck, a Stunfisk paralyzes it and it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Marill continues to speed her way through the water.
Plusle, Minun, Elekid, and Pichu decide to make an electric alliance. The group of four squirms at the drop from the cliff, but Plusle pushes Elekid off into the water.
"Heehee, let's see what an outlet does with water!" Minun jokes, smiling at the joke her sister played. Pichu, on the other hand, looks desperate to save Elekid.
"Elekid! No! I'm coming…" Pichu announces as she jumps into the air and down the cliff's edge. Plusle and Minun skip down the mountain and arrive at a standstill with a Muk.
"Someone needs to take the trash out!" Plusle teased, laughing at the stinky glob of slime.
"MUUUUUUK. YOU may not TRESPASS my TERRITORY, young ELECTRIC mice! MUUUUUUK," the slime glob says.
Soon enough Muk slinks to the field mice and covers them in a stench that makes them go unconscious. At that moment, Marill jets into the Muk full blast, where she sticks to the Muk's odorous body. Her tail and body then slump as she cringes from the stench.
Meanwhile, Elekid and Pichu shock the Sharpedo—and Wailmer—with their Thunderbolt attacks and attempt to swim on Wailmer. Elekid uses Pichu as a board to row with, and Pichu's eyes begin to sink and hearts form where they sockets used to be. They were on their way to victory.
Cubone digs his way down into the ground, but he meets an unexpected Pokémon—he sees a Dugtrio. Dugtrio uses Fissure and Cubone begins to vibrate along with the dirt inside the whole, which closes up. Cubone is not at the advantage in this game.
Hoppip, Weedle, and Petilil all decide to jump. Petilil uses Protect on her and Weedle. The two decide to work together and use Protect as a sort of spherical boat. Hoppip is forgotten about and lies flat on the surface of the water, being dragged by Sharpedo to an awkwardly placed cave at the bottom of the cliff. Weedle uses string shot on a nearby tree and launches him and Petilil to safe ground. They're right on track…or so they think.
Bidoof, assuming leadership, gets excited once he learns of Eevee's eagerness to work with him to win. They, along with Spinda and Buneary, walk along. Riolu decided to work with Meditite, but he said he'll join back soon enough. Anyways, Spinda becomes dizzy and begins to punch trees with her Dizzy Punch. This causes a colony of Beedrill to hop out, furious with the group.
Eevee, Bidoof, and Buneary run at the sight of the Pokémon, but Spinda merely smells the bees. The trio comes out of hiding once the Beedrill are done stinging Spinda. The panda is now in the shape of a bowling ball.
"Hey girls, we can win a Bowling Competition now! But I'm kind of dizzy…" the ball of Panda announces.
As the four walk along, Bidoof and Eevee separate and head their own way, leaving Buneary with the spitball. Bidoof immediately sees buildings up ahead, and the duo is almost done playing their first challenge.
Riolu and Meditite decide to jump. They can use their fighting attacks on the Sharpedo and still be able to swim. As they plummet, an Aerodactyl swoops down, grabs Meditite by the diaper, and goes back up to its nest at the top of the tallest tree of the island.
"HELP, RIOLU! I'M BEING…DIAPERNAPPED!" Meditite screams.
"I'll come back for you once I win!" Riolu announces, Force Palming the Sharpedo with excellent skill. He wasn't coming back for Meditite—not yet.
Minccino and Zorua were left behind with nobody. Chimchar and Torchic paired up, and Wobba has a group. So they decide to work together. Zorua sees Chimchar and Torchic near the edge of the water and formulates a plan. Minccino distracts the two with a Tail Slap, which knocks Chimchar out. Torchic fiercely pecks Minccino off and down the slope of the mountain, which gets tangled up in debris. Zorua transforms into Surskit, who uses Bubble on the two and knocks them off of the edge.
Wobbuffet and Kadabra decide to not even bother with Munchlax and Happiny, who are both being lovey-dovey towards each other. Wobbuffet falls into a pit trap, screams something about the Fourth Reich, and tumbles down the hole. Kadabra, on the other hand, abandons Wobbuffet while he has the chance. Happiny and Munchlax start talking to each other.
"I'm trying to go on a diet," Munchlax flirts, "but I can't help but over-eat you."
"Hee hee! You have such a way with words," Happy says. She accidentally trips over a "Surskit" and they both end up splashing into the water.
Wobbuffet appears to be in some sort of place of buildings. However, he realizes this is a campground. He had made it. First place!
"Congratulations WobbaHitler! You've won first place! You and one other person are going to be very lucky for this challenge," Turtwig proudly announces, although the Pokémon that one is very awkward to be around.
"WOB-BA!" is the only reply the PokéNazi could offer.
Bidoof gets the bright idea of scaling the mountain and looking there. To his surprise, he and Eevee meet up with Kadabra, who lost Wobbuffet in a pitfall trap. The three approach the camp site, and Bidoof steps in first to assure safety. Because Bidoof stepped first, he claimed second place and a definite spot in earning the reward.
"There we have it! Our two team captains! Wobbuffet and Bidoof, you will serve as the team captains for this game. Wobbuffet, you represent Team Aqua. Bidoof, you're obviously Team Magma. Kadabra, you stepped over second and therefore are on Wobbuffet's team. Eevee, it's pretty obvious that you're on the same team as Bidoof.
Meanwhile
"Minun, don't leave me with this Muk! I can't handle the stench! It smells like rotten Pokémon eggs…" Plusle stammers, being covered in slimy muck. The red mouse struggles to get out of the stronghold of the enemy, but Muk has taken complete control of the situation.
"Plusle! I'll come back for you! Let me make it first! I can't lose…" Minun trails off. She's always the 'sidekick' compared to Plusle—it might be nice beating her at something. Therefore, Minun runs off and leaves the positive charged Pokémon to the Poison-type.
Riolu senses a nearby draft in the cliff. Climbing, he comes up to a hole that looks to have teeth marks in it. Was Bidoof here?
"Weeeeee! Skidding across the water is fun!" Surskit happily announces to nobody, "I can't wait to win!"
Surskit hits a rock at the base of the cliff and hops up to where Riolu is, knocking them both into the hole. Wherever they're going, Surskit is going to face major Face Palm time. And not by itself.
Marill Aqua Jets out of Muk as Minun runs away. "I can't let her beat me that easily," Marill thinks, "I ought to be faster, if not the same speed!" Jetting out into the open, she is grabbed on the tail by some lightweight Pokémon—it was Minun.
"GET OFF MINUN. I DON'T LIKE YOU," Marill screams, losing control of her priority move.
"Ok, I hate Plusle and Minun. They're annoying and they will not leave me ALONE. If I can get them kicked off, I can make it farther than I woulda thought," Marill bitterly says.
"Of Course you do! I'm Minun! Don't make me sad!" Minun then thunderbolt's Marill, sending them both crashing over near where the group started in the challenge, however Minun falls in a smartly-covered hole and down into a dark unknown. Marill is forced to jump into the ocean to heal.
Weedle and Petilil work together to get to the base of the cliff. Petilil is holding onto Weedle as Weedle string shots its way from branch to branch.
"Wow, Tarzan, you're really powerful!" Petilil blushes. She's never seen such a strong inch worm.
"Thanks, but I'm only using string shot. I can't defeat many Pokémon in battle…" Weedle sighs. His jabbing is the only thing going for him.
"Doesn't matter to me! Now let's win this challenge!"
Soon after Petilil says to win the challenge, a colony of Beedrill come at them to battle. "Let me handle this. I'm their true blood," Weedle announces, wanting to impress his lady. He's starting to like her.
However, Weedle cannot follow through on his promise. The colony of Beedrill ends up being a rival colony of his own, and therefore they begin to attack with Poison Jabs from left and right.
"I..I can't handle them! They are too strong!" Weedle struggles. He's going to faint soon.
Suddenly, Petilil starts to give off a green powder and Weedle and all of the Beedrill begin to sleep. Smiling, Petilil picked up Weedle and began trekking the island.
Buneary is lost in the island. After all of the drama going on that she is oblivious to, she meets up with Happiny and Munchlax. However, Munchlax and Happiny are kissing behind a log. Somewhat scarred for life, Buneary hops the other way, which, unbeknownst to her, the Muk that has Plusle has just moved its grime over to Buneary's feet. Immediately, the fluffy bunny pounces on Muk and starts thrashing at him with Frustration.
Meanwhile, Minun stumbles in a whole that Wobbuffet fell into. Finding the tiny spec of light of the camp site, Minun squirms herself in and finds the camp. Looks like she's safe, and on Wobba's team as an added bonus.
Riolu and Surskit fall down the hole from the cliff and into a dark cave, sliding all the way down a winding slope towards the base of the large slide. Riolu immediately starts sprinting towards the campsite, where he ends up being on Bidoof's team.
Team Aqua Wobbuffet, Kadabra, Minun
Team Magma Bidoof, Eevee, Riolu
Surskit leisurely waits on her pals to finish, however she senses that there isn't any Pokémon on its way. Therefore, she joins Team Aqua—and ruins Turtwig's chart.
"We now have about seven cast members who are moving on to the next round. Go to the confessionals, maybe you'll learn something about the others along the way," Turtwig nervously says as he figures this may be too long of an episode.
Plusle manages to break free from the Muk. Seeing other Pokémon being stuck by it breaks her little positive heart, however she knows that she has to save her friendship with Minun. Nevertheless, she runs to where her blue companion may await.
"I can't believe I'm now stuck in a trap," Zorua exclaims, immediately frowning while hanging upside down. She notices there's an Aipom laughing at her.
"By the time I get down, you're going to be dead"
"Heeheehee"
Zorua transforms into Wailmer, who makes the trap incarcerate Aipom instead. Turning back into Zorua, she is able to start her journey to not lose again.
"Speaking of Wailmer, let's look at him!" the green host cheerily says. Having a fake smile, Turtwig directs his attention to Wailmer, who is floating over two Sharpedo.
"IT'S TIME TO USE MY MAGIC!" the purple whale says, waving an ice cream cone on his head to appear as a unicorn's horn, "SHARPEDO, TO THE FINISH LINE!"
Meanwhile, Plusle is able to find the hole where Minun fell. Therefore, she jumps down it and begins sliding—and she falls into Riolu's arms.
"GET OFF OF ME NOW," Riolu screams, throwing Plusle against Surskit and pretending she isn't on his team.
"There you have it folks, Minun is on Wobbuffet's team, but Plusle is on Bidoof's. No switching by the way!" Turtwig grins, knowing this will improve ratings…and a hospital bill of sorts.
Petilil and Weedle go back up the mountain, with Weedle on his friend's back. They find a hole that looks like Wobbuffet size, look at each other, and go down it. However, they encounter a furious Meditite who is kicking everything in its path.
"THIS IS THE HOLE TO WIN. GO DOWN IT MORONS!" Meditite pushed them down it, and they fall down a slide to the bottom of the entrance. Meditite then pushes Weedle, who is basically thrown across the finish line. Meditite then runs across, afraid he would lose, and Petilil is right behind, thinking the same. However, Weedle and Petilil end up on the same team—Wobbuffet's team, with Meditite on Bidoof's Team Magma.
Buneary nervously glances at a random hole in the ground. Covered in slimy gunk, a brown Pokémon with a skull comes out.
"Cubone! Are you ok?" Buneary frantically shouts.
"Yeah...I think so. Come on, I found the entrance to the hole to make us win. I saw Spinda, maybe she's willing to go with us" Cubone weakly suggests.
Immediately a dizzy Pokémon comes down from the trees, a Poison Barb in her mouth and a Farfetch'd's stick in her hand.
"AIEIEEIEIEIEIIEIEIEIIEIEIEIE IEIEIIE" Spinda throws her Poison Barb hat Buneary and hits Cubone with a stick. Then, the deranged panda drags them down the hole, and towards the finish line.
"Buneary and Cubone, you're on Team Magma. Spinda, you're on Team Aqua," the host Turtwig smiles as finally more than half the contestants are present. He was starting to get worried.
Meanwhile
"Ok, call me crazy, but I love love love Elekid! I can't help it…he's just adorable and perfect in every single way!" Pichu, embarrassingly, dignifies herself as having a crush.
"Ok, I have no idea where I'm going," Pichu announces to nobody—she's all alone now. All of her friends ditched her, and Elekid doesn't know she's alive.
Pichu lightly stumbles down into the hole and crosses the finish line without a word, and then starts crying about being alone.
Hoppip stays in the water, face first, not breathing.
Torchic and Chimchar, falling from the sky, land on top of Wailmer the Brony and decide to work together to end their misery. However, the Aerodactyl that was attacking Meditite swoops down and begins attack the two of them.
"Chimchar, what are you doing?!" Torchic frustratingly says.
"Gonna make myself look sexy" Chimchar begins having Nasty Plots in her head. Then, she uses Flamethrower, burning the Aerodactyl and moving it into the ocean as the others are gaping at her sheer terror.
Team Aqua Wobbuffet, Kadabra, Minun, Surskit, Weedle, Petilil, Spinda, Pichu
Team Magma Bidoof, Eevee, Riolu, Plusle, Meditite, Buneary, Cubone, -
Zorua climbs up the mountain and down into the Wobbuffet-shaped hole. Therefore, this diva has sassed her way to Team Magma.
"As the final 8 campers struggle to make it to the finish line, I struggle to get more views. Therefore, we have given each player a map to where the place is. Ugh, kids are so stupid," Turtwig says with a wink at the camera. Stupid scripts required him to do that. Great.
Wailmer, Chimchar, and Torchic are all floating on near-dead Sharpedo. As they aqua jet to where the map locates, Marill shoots up, and Waterfalls Chimchar off of the purple whale.
"LET ME USE MY MAGIC, GALS. POOF!" Wailmer magically Bounces up in the sky with Torchic, who is thrown into a fit about being called a girl, and also thrown into the finish line hole, tumbling towards Team Aqua.
Wailmer falls back down into the water, which erupts into a maelstrom of waves and water-type Pokémon everywhere. Marill is thrown into a nearby rock, and Chimchar is washed ashore as Hoppip is thrusted into a close tree—still unconscious. Minccino is seen nearby digging his way to the finish line; however the luck he is experiencing is merely inadequate.
Chimchar is thrown into the water and her tail goes out. Dumbfounded and breathless (literally), she uses her wits and Brick Breaks a nearby rock to try and float on its smaller pieces—however all she does is create a hole in it. But in that hole is what she didn't expect—a cave of sorts. Heading to the cave, Chimchar uses Ember on her tail, however it doesn't work. No ignition in her tail and she dies. Sure, at night it's ok, but not every day. She has to think of something!
Munchlax and Happiny are drawn to the scent of sticky buns (Happiny followed him) and Munchlax crosses the finish line. Happiny instantly goes to find the others, thinking she's already crossed the line. However, to no avail, she has not.
Team Aqua Wobbuffet, Kadabra, Minun, Surskit, Weedle, Petilil, Spinda, Pichu, Torchic
Team Magma Bidoof, Eevee, Riolu, Plusle, Meditite, Buneary, Cubone, Zorua, Munchlax
Elekid is desperate to make it to the finish line. Having a father being a Machamp, Elekid is able to Cross Chop his way through the foliage and stumbles into the similar path many contestants have already taken. He is then sent to Team Aqua, and Pichu squeals silently with excitement. Yay.
Wailmer rides the tsunami for countless yards, and at one point he unites with Happiny to go back to the finish line. Happiny runs first, learns she is on the same team as Munchlax, and screams. Wailmer satisfyingly rolls to the opposite team, where he makes friends.
Marill is trying to not faint while she is smacked between a rock and a hard place—the hard place being another rock. Luckily, Marill knows HM Rock Smash, where she is able to smash the rocks into a thousand pieces. Swimming to the top, Marill stumbles upon a cave that has monkey prints on it. Laughing to herself, Marill Aqua Jets ahead to rebattle her "friend."
Hoppip begins gliding her way to the finish line, or so she thinks. Holding the map upside down, Hoppip runs into a tree, gets attacked by a Heracross, and decides to play dead—where she is held captive by it and is forced to collect honey from Honey Trees.
Minccino, screaming and crying, runs to the finish line after being attacked by Dugtrio while digging. Therefore, there are only two spots left.
Team Aqua Wobbuffet, Kadabra, Minun, Surskit, Weedle, Petilil, Spinda, Pichu, Torchic, Elekid, Wailmer
Team Magma Bidoof, Eevee, Riolu, Plusle, Meditite, Buneary, Cubone, Zorua, Munchlax, Happiny, Minccino
Chimchar hears a sudden swishing sound as Marill appears and uses Waterfall on Chimchar, who retaliates by running. Marill makes a scornful swearing sound, chases after Chimchar, and learns that the two of them are almost at the finish line—apparently everyone is already there—time to battle.
Hoppip glides once more as she uses Bounce on Heracross, similar to Wailmer's. However, Hoppip smacks right above the wall that the finish line is on. Confusion pops in and Hoppip sees ducks. How pretty they are…yes, pretty.
Marill Rock Smash's Chimchar into the finish line by accident, although her Aqua Jet sends her flying into the safety net as well. Therefore, Hoppip, who has just slid off the wall, has lost the competition and thus the game.
Team Aqua Wobbuffet, Kadabra, Minun, Surskit, Weedle, Petilil, Spinda, Pichu, Torchic, Elekid, Wailmer, Chimchar

Loser: Hoppip!
Hoppip, embarrassed and deprived of anything, merely glides off the island to the place she's supposed to go to—the Loser Island. What a waste of time..and precious honey, as well.
(I hated kicking off Hoppip, but there isn't much to add on to Hoppip and I'm mainly trying to build the other characters up. Even though I don't like Hoppip, her stupidity was a pity in some ways, and I almost regret to kick her off. Almost.)
