Total Trainer Island
Me : I love this fanfic so far. Which is saying something : I sometimes REALLY hate my work.
Dark Amphithere : I was making sure. I'm going to refer to TPI and TPWT a lot.
If you haven't read Total Pokémon Island/World Tour by Dark Amphithere, YOU MUST! IT'S SO EPIC! ANYTHING FROM DARK AMPHITHERE IS EPIC! XD
- Total Trainer Island -
- Chapter Three - Part One -
- The First Challenge : Pokémon Contest -
"Last time on Total Trainer Island! It was the Pre-Challenge! The infamous, falling down a cliff into Sharpedo-infested waters." Stephanie was sitting on a comfy warm honey-colored chair, looking like she was at one of those fireplaces with a book.
"Some made a big splash!" A clip of Sadie's jump flashed the screen. "Some… not so much." Another clip showed Devon being pushed off the cliff by Jetta. "But at the end, it was the annoying-to-hell prep Lea who left this beautiful island! 24 left to go. This challenge is a famous staple of the Pokémon World! A competition of grace and style! A Pokémon Contest! Anyway, this is TOTAL TRAINER ISLAND!"
It's cut, the song plays and the camera's moved to the Ice Raider Cabins.
"Hey, Edwin, wait up!" Rose said, running towards Edwin.
000
Edwin sighed. "Lately, Rose was been talking to me all the time. I'm shy, no doubt about it. And… Rose is very pretty. I'm not good socially."
"And, Steph has been gone for, like, three days now. Our lovely hostess has got something up her sleeves."
000
Edwin turned around to face the one of the Champions of Kanto.
Compared to him, why would she talk to him? He only won two Badges from Sinnoh! But, he DID win the Sinnoh Grand Festival, so that DID make him kinda famous himself.
"Um, hey Rose." Edwin said shyly, a faint rose color threatening to spill on his cheeks.
"I have a question. Why don't you say anything to anyone? You seem like a nice guy." Rose said, worry drenched into her voice. She blinked her icy blue eyes, now seeming a softer, more natural color than it's normally sharper-than-knifes glaze.
"Um, well… I'm just not that social of a person." he said, sitting down on the old wood steps of the Guy's Ice Raider Cabin.
Rose sat next to him, saying encouraging words.
Craig smiled at the distance. Rose was keeping her word. This might be too easy for him.
But, arrogance clouds the eyes. And what Craig didn't know that he wasn't the only one watching Rose and Edwin.
000
"Oh Craig, you think you are such a hot shot because you got a pretty little face." Devon mused. "But, I got a plan to wipe you and that ugly little smirk out of here."
"Rose, I get the idea that you're not really falling for him. And if you not, then, let's say Craig is going down faster than I thought."
000
At the Fire Commandos, Russell and Dean and Spirit were watching their Pokémon play together.
"So, what do you guys think what Steph's going to do?" Dean asked.
Russell shrugged. "No clue. She's probably got a bunch of challenges written up."
"Oh Russell, you're so right." Stephanie said, Sparks in tow. Her bright blue eyes shined and her dark green tank top was a nice splash of color on her tan skin.
"So everyone," Stephanie began as the Ice Raiders and the rest of the Fire Commandos gathered around the hostess. "This week's challenge is… A POKÉMON CONTEST!"
"What?" The all yelled asking.
"Basically this is what's happening. At, say, 3:30 PM today, you meet me at the stage—"
"Wait, we have a stage?" Jetta asked. She really didn't believe that Stephanie would waste money on a stage.
Stephanie curtly nodded. "As I was rudely interrupted, yes, I actually wasted money on a stage. It's at the main forest clearing right passed here. Find the best Pokémon for the job, get some fancy clothes, and prepare a strategy. There will be two rounds, a preliminary round where you show off your Pokémon, and then the secondary round where you actually fight it out. Remember, you can use two Pokémon. And… try to make fools out of yourselves."
Steph walked away, smiling to herself. This was going to be interesting, to say the least.
000
Rose shrugged. "I got some experience with Contests. I got three Ribbons from Hoenn, so I know how this happens in Contests. I'm going with Aquamarine in the first round, and then Cotton {Her Altaria} in the second round.
Rose sighed. "I'm not really sure I can win this challenge. I don't know the other people's abilities in Contests. This is going to be rough."
000
Edwin was grinning ear to ear. "OH MY ACREUS!" He yelled, fist pumping. "Yes! Finally a challenge I can win! I won the Grand Festival in Sinnoh! This is in the bag!"
000
Hyana sighed, having a serene look to her face. "I not a Contest fan. Not like I hate them or anything, they are just not my thing. I'm pretty sure I'm not going not going to win this, but that doesn't say I shouldn't try!"
000
Sadie smiled softly. "Me and Hyana have like this rivalry going on. Every since the Pre-Challenge, we have been going that. I'm not actually complaining about it. I think it's good to have a rivalry; it keeps you on your toes."
000
Gabby was grinning. "Yeah baby! Pokémon Contests for the freaking win! I got 6th place in the Hoenn Grand Festival, and I got three Ribbons for Sinnoh!"
But something wiped Gabby's nice smile off her face. "I'm worried about Edwin though. He WON the Grand Festival in Sinnoh for a reason."
000
Lenny was drinking soda on the beach while trying to think which Pokémon he would use. He didn't have a clue.
"Need help?"
Lenny smiled, looking into Gabby's beautiful eyes. He liked her. A lot. He hated that people pegged her as a nutter when she really wasn't. She was a fun loving person.
"Maybe."
"In that case, then yes Gabby, I'm having trouble deciding which Pokémon to use." Gabby mocked him in a pretty good Lenny voice.
He laughed. "Okay, you got me." he said, flashing a somehow somewhat sexy smile. Well, it was sexy to Gabby.
"Take them out."
Lenny threw all his Poké Balls, and his team was in front of him. Gabby sat next to him, thinking for a few moments when she said: "Go with Electrivire the first round and then Grovyle the second."
Lenny smirked. He had been thinking about that since Steph announced it and Gabby figured it out in a few short seconds.
See Craig? She ain't a nutter. he thought to himself.
"I have no clue how to train them." he said tragically.
This is when Gabby REALLY grinned. "Trust me, I know what do to." she said, and with the speed of a Ninjask, she placed a kiss on his cheek.
000
"I still got it." Lenny said, grinning like an idiot, in cloud nine.
000
Gabby went up to Lenny's Electrivire and Grovyle, sighed, and then turned into Sweet Loveable Girl to Strict Army Chick, screaming at them what to do at the top of her lungs.
000
Time to check up on Team Storm.
Team Storm was in the forest. Alex was with Bobby, telling him what he should do with his first Pokémon, Arcanine.
"I would go with Fire Blast first, and then go jump up with his Thunder Fang to break the Blast. Trust me, it would work fine." Alex said with surety, petting his Arcanine. Arcanine looked like he was enjoying it.
Bobby nodded, understanding what Alex's point was. "Alright Arcanine, do what Alex told you!" Bobby commanded.
In a fine burst of speed, Arcanine blew out red-hot flames in the shape of a bright star. It blazed in the clear blue sky like a firework on the Fourth of July.
"Now use Thunder Fang!"
Arcanine jumped up, his fangs now glistening with sunshine bright electricity. His fangs bit down on the fire star, making it burst into rose-red dust. Arcanine looked very powerful; it was easy to see why it was called the Legendary Pokémon.
All of Team Storm catcalled in joy for Bobby. He smiled. This was the people that he liked. Fighters who are nice and are like him in a way. He was known as the Angry Teen by the retards that he hated, but he wasn't so angry now.
"Thanks Alex." he said.
"Anytime." she replied, looking at Sarah's Altaria who was using a combo of Mist and DragonBreath. Sarah looked at Alex, wondering if she approved.
Alex smirked; she did two Contests and won both, so everyone turned to her if they did right.
"Sarah, your Altaria is epic. But, the Mist is covering Altaria way too much. You got to let you Pokémon shine, not the moves." she explained.
Taylor, who was working with Jolt {His Jolteon}; Alex had worked with him first and he was now also trying to help Sadie. But, Contests wasn't his thing.
Sadie sighed, shaking her head. "Ty, stop it. I suck at Contests, no two ways around it. I'm just going to wing it, and pray to Arceus that I won't be a laughingstock for Stephanie."
Taylor sighed. No point of trying to convince her. But, he kinda missed Jetta.
000
Taylor looked sober. "I really wanted Jetta in Team Storm. It's kinda lonely without her. Which is kinda dumb, since there's like, five of us, but Jetta is a fun person to be around."
000
"Craig, I'm glad that you know some moves." Rose said, her Altaria named Cotton right next to her.
Craig was with his Banette; he was using Will-o-Wisp and it was using Shadow Claw to tear at the small ghostly blue-purple balls of flame. The Will-o-Wisp dissipated softly, turning into a darker shade of purple that matched violets. Very spooky. Very cool and appealing.
"I know a lot of moves." Craig said cockily, not being able to let the joke past him. Rose giggled.
"So, how's the work with Edwin?"
"Not bad. I think he's opening up to me, but it's too soon to tell." Rose reported, looking at her newly manicured nails.
"Talk to him after the challenge." Craig said simply, his face being illuminating by the small tendrils of the Will-o-Wisp, making him look, well, handsomely evil.
Rose had a suspicious thought crawl into her mind, but she ignored it. She only had to keep on her toes and if Craig thinks she can be used; let's just say a rose has thorns for a reason.
000
Drake was having small talk with Emily when a soprano whistle sounded.
Stephanie was ready for them; 3:30 had come too soon.
"Ready?" He asked.
Emily nodded. She didn't know what Drake was up to, but he seemed like a nice guy. But… she preferred Dusk's company.
000
Drake shrugged. "What? Maybe I want to make friends. And Emily is nice enough; compared to Ruby or Rose."
000
Emily also shrugged. "Drake's kinda nice. I mean, he's kinda cold, but okay in my book."
000
Stephanie was listening and singing to "Homecoming" by Green Day {Which is what I'M listening to right now XD}; having her feet on the Judging Table and chilling a comfy chair when the campers came, all dressed finely.
"So send my love a letterbomb and visit me in hell…" She trailed off when she noticed the campers walk on the stage.
The stage, even though Steph barely put any money on it, was pretty decent. The wood was mahogany even if it was worn down, and the curtains were bloodstone velvet. Brand-new lights and sound system were plugged in, itching to be used.
"Green Day fan?" Ruby asked, smiling. She loved Green Day herself.
"Who isn't?" She asked, knuckle-touching her.
But Stephanie turned back into Hostess now, smiling evilly and clapping her hands together. "Anyway guys, I hoped you got your act together. Because half of you ain't going to make it to the second round. And by the way, if one team completely fails, as in, all people don't make it to the second round, the other team wins. Not like that going to happen." Steph added.
People shrugged. The odds were slim. But she might just pull a Mew on them…
"Anyway, Ice Raiders, specially Chazz, your up first. Everyone else, wait backstage." Steph commanded and they did.
Chazz was wearing a simple suit that looked good with his curly black hair and tan skin and brown eyes.
"Nice suit." Steph commented. Chazz smiled faintly. "Thanks."
"Well, show me what you got."
"All right, go Flygon!" Stephanie grinned. Flygon was one of her fav Dragon-types.
His Flygon burst out it's Poké Ball, looking powerful and graceful.
"Time for a Sandstorm!" Chazz yelled and Flygon flapped it's light green wings, sand incasing it like a cocoon.
You could still hear it's wings flapping, making beautiful and gorgeous melodies and harmonies. There is a reason why Flygon is the Spirit of the Desert.
"Now, use Dragon Claw!" Flygon burst out of the Sandstorm shell, sand glittering like golden sparkles. Flygon's claws glowed a combo of gold and red; ready to strike at the moment's notice.
"Finish it with Fly!" Flygon flew up and it had prefect aerial control of it's body. It was a greenish-gold-red blur.
When it landed, the remains of the Sandstorm left it's body, having it glow without it.
"Well, nice work Chazz. Good call with your Flygon. Call in Devon." Stephanie said, writing a number from one to ten. Come on, guess!
000
Chazz shrugged, his Flygon with him. "I really have no idea if Steph liked it. I saw her grin, but maybe she's screwing with me."
000
Everyone was behind stage, waiting to be called. There was a big flat-screen plasma TV, hooked up to the cameras on stage. Some people nodded, somewhat impressed at Chazz's performance. Ruby narrowed her eyes.
Chazz walked back, some of the Ice Raiders welcoming him. "Hey Dev, she wants you." he said, his Flygon in tow.
Devon rolled his eyes. "Of course she wants me. I have ears Chazz." he said with scorn in his voice. Chazz narrowed his eyes and sat down on one of the benches that Steph had laid out.
Devon made his way to the stage. He was wearing a crisp white shirt, tan pants and a blood-red tie. Steph wasn't impressed by his appearance, but she was expecting big things from him.
"It's time Darkling!" he said calmly; his Shiny Gengar floating out of nowhere and landed on the middle of the stage.
One of the coolest things about Ghost-types. Stephanie thought. She was a fan of that type.
"Let's show Stephanie a Shadow Ball!" Darkling spread his hands out, billions of tiny balls of darkness leaving from them.
"Now use Psychic!" Darkling's vermillion eyes glowed a bright shade of sky blue, making all the small wisps of those Shadow Balls coming together as one huge Shadow Ball.
"And for the final! Focus Blast!" A bright orange ball appeared in Darkling's hand, like the sunset was turned into a ball of pure energy. Darkling threw it, laughing and grinning.
It smashed into the Shadow Ball, midnight and sunset meeting together. A gorgeous performance.
"Pretty danm good Devon. And, send in Hyana." Stephanie said, writing down Devon's score.
000
Devon smiled the same smile as Darkling. "I knew it. I haven't been in a Contest, but I watched a couple. And it's obvious that was the only thing needed."
000
People were nodding their heads at Devon's and Darkling's show. But Craig had a dark ball of anger bubbling inside him.
000
"Devon, you act like you're Arceus's gift to the world, but you're not. And if you think I'm dumb nothing to fall into you're little plans, then you're more retarded than I thought." Craig said dangerously.
000
Hyana went up, looking in control. Her red and gold dress made her skin glow under the hot lights.
"Milotic! Time to shine!" Her Milotic appeared out of her Poké Ball, slithering with grace.
"Use Surf!" A azure wave of water appeared behind Milotic, splashing droplets on Milotic's cream-colored scales.
"Ice Beam!" A white-blue beam of subzero ice came out of Milotic's mouth, freezing the Wave that was about to crash onto the floor of the dark wood stage was now frozen solid.
"And the grand finale! Dragon Pulse!" The shock wave of energy left Milotic's mouth, destroying the frozen Surf.
But, the shards of ice did look pretty glistening under the lights, they also flew off in various places.
"Hey! Watch it! I just paid for the freaking stage!" Stephanie snapped, eyeing the shards of ice with scorn in her pale blue eyes.
"Oops! Sorry," Hyana said sheepishly, scratching the back of her head.
"Send in Gabby." our sweet hostess hissed.
000
Steph shrugged. "What? I'm cheap. I really don't want to spend money, which I actually DID spent a good part of it."
000
Hyana raised an eyebrow. "I kind of understand Steph, but don't freaking hiss at me like a Arbok!"
000
Some of the Ice Raiders gave Hyana understanding looks as she walked in.
"You cool?" Paige asked. Hyana nodded quickly. "Yeah."
Gabby walked onto the stage, having on a gorgeous white satin dress. Most of the ice shards from Hyana's performance were gone.
"Well Gabby, I'm just saying that if you bomb this, that probably you will never show your face on the Contest Ring again. Not like that's going to happen or anything." Steph said, a sly smile dancing on her lips. Gabby couldn't tell if she was lying or not.
She gulped, fearing screwing up for her team. Stephanie was right. She can't fail this. The whole world was watching her do her stuff.
Gabby took a deep breath, calming herself before speaking. "Beedrill! Time for the spotlight!"
Her Beedrill came out, it's ivory white needles were sharper than a Seviper's fangs. Steph pondered for a second, I mean, who was going to a Beedrill from Contests? Well, Gabby of course.
"Okay, use Poison Sting!" The neon purple needles shot out and into the sky. It looked like it was going to rain Poison Stings all around.
"Now use Bug Buzz!" Orange waves vibrated off of Beedrill. Stephanie had to take off her iPod because it was screwing with the music. The sunset waves of sounds hit the Poison Stings, making them break into purple dust. Both Steph and Gabby coughed as the poisonous dust.
"Hmmm, well, I might just vote you off for almost breaking my iPod completely and for almost killing us with the Poison Sting dust." Gabby gulped. Uh, WHY did she use Bug Buzz? "But, I liked it. Nice work using a Beedrill. Anyway, I want Craig here."
Gabby walked off with her Beedrill, not sure to be feeling scared or relieved. Everyone was watching her as she walked backstage and sat next to Dean.
"Hey, I thought it was pretty cool." he said, trying to cheer her up. Gabby smiled faintly.
As Craig walked to the stage, Steph wolf-whistled. He was wearing a black shirt with a silver tie, dark gray pants and shiny black shoes.
Craig did what he showed Rose; his Banette using Shadow Claw to tear up the small ghostly blue-purple balls of flame. Stephanie liked it. A creepy performance, but a good one, nonetheless.
"Craig, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were evil." Stephanie waved the idea away like it was a crazy idea. Craig was smiling nonchalantly, playing it cool. "But, an awesome performance. Bring in Jetta."
While Craig went back, Stephanie's sly smile widen while she was writing down his score.
Some people clapped kindly as Craig walked in. Devon's eyes were slits. Drake had also narrowed his eyes.
000
"I have it in the bag. I got a feeling that Stephanie pull a Mew on us, and I think I know what it is." Craig smiled, giving a devilish handsome smile.
000
Jetta calmly stepped out, still wearing her normal clothes. Stephanie was going to ask about that, but thought against it.
Jetta sighed and threw out a Poké Ball. Her Breloom, Mushroom Cloud, came out.
"Use Spore." Jetta said without emotion. Her Breloom sent tons of cream-colored spores in the air. As they fell down onto the ground, Stephanie yawned, already sleepy from the Spore's effects.
"Bye."
"Wait, THAT'S IT?"
"Yeah, why?"
Stephanie sighed. "No reason. Bring in Lenny." she said with a bit of disappoint in her voice, writing down her score.
Everyone was shocked on Jetta performance. She smiled and walked over to sit next to Taylor.
"What?" she asked, and everyone turned away.
000
Jetta raised an eyebrow. "Listen, I may be a emo, but I'm not dumb. If Steph is the hostess that I think she is, then I'm all set."
000
Lenny came out, wearing a white t-shirt and a black tie under a blue blazer, black trousers and a even a top hat.
He did what Gabby had told his Pokémon what to do : his Electrivire using a cool combo of Thunder and Hyper Beam together.
It would have gone actually pretty good on it's own, if it wasn't for the Spore placed by Jetta and the leftover (now melted) pieces of ice from Hyana's performance.
The Spores attached themselves to Lenny's Electrivire, making Electrivire fall asleep before Electrivire could use Hyper Beam. As Electrivire fell on the floor (now out cold) the leftover sparks flying around like mad on the water.
Lenny wanted to shoot himself, after what Gabby helped him in his performance.
"Well Lenny, didn't expect that. Interesting enough. Now, let's see Drake."
Lenny walked off the stage, mortified the mockery that he just made to Gabby's performance.
As he walked in, no one said anything. Some gave him forgiving smiles. But… some were thinking of things…
000
Ruby gave a chill smile. "I like taking revenge. And this is a great opening for it. If I can convince some of the Ice Raiders to get Lenny out, then I can focus on Rose."
000
Drake walked up to the stage, his body radiating calmness. He face was like a emotionless mask. He was wearing a white short sleeve button up shirt with a black vest and tan pants.
"Magnus! Come out!"
A Shiny Charizard escaped it's Poké Ball, it's color instead of a fiery orange it was black, the insides a sunset orange. {I'm not really sure if this is the right coloring of a Shiny Charizard, something tells me it's green, but my gut tells me it's black. Sorry if it's wrong} It's eyes were hard and full of power.
"Do a Dragon Pulse and then a Flamethrower."
The pulse escaped Magnus's mouth, but it was consumed by flames that could melt boulders. It was a pretty good performance.
"Good work Drake. Can you send in Paige?" Stephanie asked, writing down the score. But, she smelled smoke. Her head snapped up.
Magnus's tail-flame had set fire to one of the curtains. "Oh shit!" Drake hissed, trying his best to pat out the flames.
"DUDE? LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?" Stephanie yelled. She pulled out a Poké Ball and a Lanturn came out.
"Use Water Gun Lightning!" Steph yelled, and a jet of water came out of Lightning's mouth, dousing the flames.
Stephanie's eyes bored into Drake's hazel ones. Drake looked like he didn't care. "Sorry." he said and left.
000
Drake shrugged. "Okay, not my best performance. Personally, I thought the curtains were fire-retardant, at least. But, this IS Stephanie we're talking about."
000
Paige walked in, eyeing the charred piece of curtain. Stephanie looked pretty calm at the moment, but it was just a façade from the storm that was brewing inside of her. She was dressed in a robin's blue egg A-line dress with a gray empire waist and a black silhouette of roses on the bottom.
"So Paigey-Paige, what you got for us?" Stephanie asked, her eyes darker than normal.
Paige narrowed her eyes. She didn't like to be called Paigey-Paige.
"Let's get this over with and hope nothing burns, okay?" Paige asked, and she and our hostess laughed. Paige was really funny. "Come out Umbreon!"
Her Umbreon did a amazing show; using Psychic to control the Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball to hit himself and using Moonlight to heal himself.
"Paige, you don't disappoint. Bring in Emily."
000
"Score one for Paige baby!" Paige said with elation.
000
Emily came out, having on her normal clothes. Stephanie didn't not to say anything.
Emily, surprising, did an okay job. She used her Machamp, by having him Fling the Iron Ball he had and juggled, but it flew off and almost killed Stephanie. Emily shrugged and left, leaving Rose.
000
"Man, I feel the love from these guys." Stephanie muttered, having a giant headache.
000
Rose walked out, wearing a gorgeous black dress with red roses that is up to her knees and red heels.
"Rose, if you're going to fail, please fail but don't try to kill me." Stephanie moaned, wanting a million and two painkillers right about now. Rose rolled her eyes, not caring.
"Come on out Cotton!"
Her Altaria came out, her fluffy wings making Stephanie want cotton candy.
Cotton did a nice performance; using Dragon Dance and using off with a Sky Attack. Stephanie's head snapped up.
"All right then! Fire Commandos, I hope you're ready!"
