Hello again! It's time for another chapter!

Breon sighed as he exited the crummy cabin. It has been two days since Septh's elimination and he can't help but feel depressed.
"Geez… why it so hard?" Breon muttered to himself, as he walked towards the flagpole. The main campgrounds were currently empty. The Noctowls were all in the Winners' Villa, still resting.
Breon then noticed someone exiting the females' cabin. He silently padded to the cabin, hiding beside the door.
"Breon, hiya!" chirped a voice.
Breon furrowed a brow as Poppy exited the cabin, stretching. "What are you doing this early? Are you going to do something..?"
"I was just up early… I just want enough time to write some stuff," explained Poppy with a giggle. "Early bird catches the worm, remember!"
"Okay…" muttered Breon, letting the Brionne pass.
000
Breon: Poppy is doing something suspicious… I better keep an eye on her…
000
Poppy: I decided to form an alliance of my own! I'm going to ask Metilda, Jester, Luther and Jun later. For now, I'm going to the woods! It inspires me to write something!

Icy sighed as she sat beside Luther's bed. The Trubbish was moaning in pain for the whole night. Icy felt weak as she was unable to save Luther from harm.
Luther groaned as he opened his eyes. "Icy… w-what happened? W-who got booted?" He sat up, moaning as he did so. "It fucking hurts!"
"Luther… I'm glad you're okay," Icy sighed in relief. "Though, do you need anything?"
Luther smiled weakly. "I need some rest… some rest…" Luther's eyes then closed after his statement.
Icy sighed, floating from her seat. Giving the Trubbish one last look, she floated out of the crummy cabin.
Crimson tapped her foot repeatedly, waiting for Icy to exit the males' cabin. She knew that the Froslass was tending her boyfriend. Next to her was Ashley who was humming to herself.
"Is Icy coming soon?" Ashley asked the Lucario smugly. "Or are we just stalking her? I feel that this is not… right."
Crimson shushed the Whimsicott. "Be silent… they might suspect us if they heard us…"
Icy yawned as she exited the cabin. Ashley quickly stopped her.
"W-wha?! What are you two doing here?" questioned Icy, confused. "It's quite early, right?"
"Well...come with me," offered Crimson as she started to walk towards the woods. Ashley and Icy followed suit.
Crimson, Ashley and Icy now stood in a clearing. Crimson sat on a tree stump while her companions squatted on the ground.
"So… what are we doing here?" Ashley queried, furrowing a brow. "Crimson… you're acting shady right now…"
Crimson cleared her throat before speaking. "I would formally ask you two to join an alliance with me. I want to make it far in this game and with twenty others in this team, we're quite royally screwed!"
"Well… you're quite right," agreed Icy with a nervous nod. "I'm on the lower half of the spectrum… I'm likely to leave before the halfway point of the game…"
Ashley gave her a look. "Well, that's why Crimson called us for an alliance! We're all going to make it far! Though… I might be considered a threat since I made it to the finals." She giggled shakily. "Crimson, shouldn't we... have more alliance mates? Three votes won't guarantee our safety."
"Well… Poppy wasn't in the cabin," Crimson started to explain. "Meowzer is a psycho, Comf is getting too bitchier, Juvia is… Juvia and the newbie girls are quite unpredictable."
"Can't we accept boys?" suggested Icy, nervously looking at the grass. "Perhaps, that would give us a better chance in dominating the votes…"
"I'm not keen on trusting the boys," admitted Crimson, crossing her arms. She shook her head. "Well… for now, let's try to win. In case we lose, let's make a list of targets."
"Well… obviously, let's give Sophia the shaft," Ashley suggested matter-of-factly. "She did nothing but voice her feminazi opinion. It's getting too annoying!"
"Umm… I suggest Meowzer and Juvia," added Icy sheepishly. "Meowzer is getting smarter… and Juvia already won a season."
Crimson nodded in agreement. "Okay… I actually planned ahead before this meeting to show that I can be a good leader. Sophia goes next… then Alex then Meowzer then Juvia then Quentin then Metilda then Jester."
"Umm… can you explain the plan?" requested Icy, nervously raising her left hand. "Some of the contestants you mentioned… I just don't understand some…"
Clearing her throat, Crimson answered, "Sophia is first to go because of obvious reasons. Alex goes next because of his threatening strength and strategy. Meowzer goes after Alex because of her… crazy behavior and surprising intelligence. Juvia goes next because… she already won a season and she's a gambler… she has too much money already! Quentin is pure fodder in my opinion, Metilda is too overprotective of Jester and Jester is too cowardly."
"Well… that's quite right," admitted Ashley, slowly nodding. "Quentin, Metilda and Alex are useful to the team, though… and the newbies outnumber us… and Septh's elimination last time was quite... anticlimactic."
"Well… I hate Alex," explained Crimson, shrugging. "Quentin and Metilda are still in the maybe section for me…"
"Woah… why the sudden hate on Alex?" Ashley asked smugly, furrowing a brow. "You barely interact… did something happen?"
"Well… it happened between seasons," Crimson explained dryly with a nonchalant expression. "We met up one time… it didn't quite end well…"
Icy arched a brow. "Um… what exactly happened? I don't follow…"
"We had a date," muttered Crimson, blushing. "It was quite… weird… Alex was surprisingly a gentleman…"
"Well… speak to him," advised Icy, arms fidgeting nervously. "I feel that you might be perfect for each other… and… follow your heart or something…"
Ashley tilted her head, eyes fixated on the jackal. "Well… love is quite hard to get… Ace found someone… while I didn't… I was just… betrayed."
"By Meowzer?" queried Crimson.
Ashley gave her a 'seriously?!' look. "Hell no! I was on this other show! Total Xtreme Island or something… I met this guy… and he just used me for sex… and Crimson, Meowzer was another story. Don't remind me about it…"
Icy shuddered, looking at the sky wistfully. "That's quite… worrisome… well, I better go back. Luther must be waiting for me…"
Icy stood up, floating away from the clearing.
Crimson sighed as she slouched on the stump. "Ookay… what now? I have nothing else to do. Wanna hang out, Ashley?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Ashley replied, "I would rather talk with you… I'm still… have mixed-up feelings about this season. I was quite psyched to return and see you all again but I'm quite worried that something bad will happen and this season might be worse than the last."
"Well… if something does happen, you can tell us," Crimson told the Whimsicott reassuringly. "We're your friends after all."
Ashley nodded with a weak smile. "Thanks…"
000
Ashley: Ugh… I need to put myself together or else… I would have to take a lot of anti-depressants after the game…

Rae grumbled to herself as she hugged her purple pillow. She was inside one of the bedrooms in the Winners' Lodge. The wallpaper were all purple. The room contained a mini-fridge, a small shower room and a comfy bed with purple pillows, a purple blanket and a purple bedsheet. This made the Noivern feel uncomfortable for some reason.
Rae shuddered as she saw something tapping the bedroom window. She went under her blanket. She was usually brave… but after the 'incident', she learned to be cautious. She was quite wary of what might lurk in the night.
Her thoughts were then interrupted by a hard knock on her door. She silently growled to herself as she stood up from her bed. She cautiously approached the door, eyeing the door knob. She took a deep breath before twisting it.
The door then opened. Rae furrowed a brow as Azure stood in front of her, jotting down some notes on her notebook.
"Azure, what are you doing here?" Rae asked the Azurill dryly, slightly annoyed yet relieved. "I was doing something… so this better be worth it!"
Azure cleared her throat with a cheeky grin. "I have a proposal for you! I want to form an alliance with you… and some others… it might help us get far!" Azure raised her hands, signifying her enthusiasm. "It would be a blast! I already asked my leader and she accepted!"
Rae furrowed a brow, left arm lazily leaning against the doorframe. "Why should I join? I'm quite fine on my own so please leave my room!"
"Well! With that attitude, you're quite screwed!" huffed Azure, puffing her cheeks. "You should learn to cooperate with others? You're easy pickings! You basically have no allies!"
Rae sneered at the Azurill. "Easy pickings?! I may not look like it but I'm quite intelligent… and I'm very strong! Watch me!"
Azure giggled stiffly. "Watch it, Noivern! I'm not going down without a fight! Don't underestimate me because of my weakness. Judge me by my strengths!"
"Just leave," Rae growled coldly, glaring daggers at Azure. "I need some time alone!"
Rolling her eyes, Azure bounced away from the door.
Rae sighed as she slammed the door shut. She flew towards her bed, sitting down. Her eyes then darted to the bedroom window. She cringed as she noticed Lance staring through the window.
Nervously, the Noivern turned away.
000
Rae: Interactions would just lead to many problems… that's why I decided to seclude myself! However, the others would just barge in with no reason! It's quite annoying!
000
Azure: And I thought I was a spoiled brat! Rae is a rotting pile of garbage… and I always take out the trash! *jots down notes* Still… Rae is quite strange and inconsistent…
000
Flint wagged his tail as he watched Randall sleep inside the male losers' cabin. His mouth started to drool as he examined the buff Incineroar's physique.
Nearby, Icy had a look of disgust as she watched the Golduck while tending Luther. The other males in the room were all asleep.
"Hey!" Icy called out to the intruder, crossing her arms. "You're not an Octillery! What are you doing here?!"
"I'm a Golduck!" Flint retorted, eyes still fixated on the sleeping Incineroar. "Stop interrupting me! I'm still admiring my surroundings!"
Randall's eyes then opened one by one. Randall growled as he saw Flint watching him from one side of the bed.
"What the fuck, Flint?! What are you doing here?!" Randall asked the Golduck, clenching his fists in anger. He was furious at the fact that someone was just… staring at his body while he slept. Jaxxon and Randall set up some rules on the bed back home. "Just leave before I make you leave through force!"
"Awww… I'm too immersed in your hotness." Flint refused to leave, shaking his head rebelliously.
"G-guys… shush. Luther needs some rest." Icy attempted to shush the two.
Randall shook his head, gritting his teeth. "I'm not going to let this slide! Flint… just leave, you're making a mockery of our sexuality!"
Flint mumbled incoherently before strutting out of the cabin.
Icy shuddered. "That… was scary."
"I want to focus on the game and Flint is not helping." Randall said to the Froslass. "It's quite… annoying!"
"Calm down, Randall," requested Icy, eyeing the resting Luther warily. "Luther is resting…"
Randall sighed, standing up. "I'll be going for a walk…"
Icy nodded. "Ok…" She said softly as the Incineroar walked out of the cabin.
000
Randall: Walking always clear my mind… Flint is getting on my nerves recently… and seems to be getting… close to me… ugh! Why do I have too many problems?!
000
Sora continued to pant as she clawed a boulder with her talons. She was currently training herself for any incoming challenges. As she prepared to claw the boulder once more, her ears suddenly twitched to the sound of yawning.
She turned around, eyes darting around the area until she fixated on Luke, who was leaning against a tree.
"What are you doing here? Sora asked the Taillow warily. "Did Jester tell you about this? I need some privacy for this."
The Taillow grinned lazily at the Staraptor. "Chill bruh… I'm not bothering you. And also… take it easy with the boulder clawing… you might break your leg… a gentle tap is quite enough, bruh."
Sora frowned. "Don't fuss about me. I'm strong enough to take care of myself!"She then sighed as she sat next to the Taillow. "You should worry about yourself…"
"Sora, was it? I'm just here to chill, bruh." Luke mused to the Staraptor with a warm and welcoming grin. "Pretend that I'm not here and continue with your training, dude."
Sora furrowed a brow, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. "Ookay… but I'll be watching you…"
"Okay…"
Junior grunted as he kicked a giant boulder repeatedly in the middle of the clearing. He was not wearing his hoodie as he trained. Watching him was Metilda who was hugging Jester protectively.
"Umm… can you let go of me now?" pleaded Jester, face turning red as Metilda continued to hug him. "I'm… running out of air… and your blades… are really sharp…"
Metilda slightly loosed her grip. "My apologies. I must've been carried away… though, I would be more careful."
Junior wiped off the sweat on his face. "That's it for today…" He turned to his companions. "Ready to leave?"
Jester shakily shook his head. "P-Poppy asked for us to wait earlier… she said that she'll come here to talk about something."
"It's probably an alliance," muttered Metilda, crossing her arms. "I personally don't want to join… but I need to make sure that Jester is safe…"
"Poppy is rad. You can trust her," assured Junior, blushing as he folded his arms. "I would know… since… umm… let's change the subject…"
"Ok-"
Before Jester could continue, Poppy emerged from the bushes with a creepy grin.
"Hello people! It seems that we have perfect attendance for today!" chirped Poppy, stretching her flippers cheerily. "I have gathered you all for a yaoi reading… and an alliance!"
"Why so?" Junior queried his lover, wiping off some sweat on his body with a spare towel that Metilda brought.
Poppy tapped her chin with a goofy grin. "Obviously, there are 48 contestants in this game… and now there are 47. We need allies to make it further! I want to make merge this time!"
"Well… four people are not enough to vote against nineteen others." Metilda pointed out, somberly. "Shouldn't we have more allies?"
"Well, I was going to ask Luther… but he's still injured," explained Poppy with a pout. "So… we have to cope with four members."
"Umm… will we b-be an evil alliance?" Jester queried, slightly stuttering. "I'm not s-sure if I can… cope with that."
"Well… if it comes to that… or if our alliance is in jeopardy, we need to resort to… sabotage," explained Poppy, still maintaining her goofy grin. "Though… I'm quite fine with foul play. That is the true purpose of this competition!"
Junior sighed, nodding. "I have to agree… it's allowed… so I won't protest…"
"Okie dokie! For now, let's vote for Sophia," chirped Poppy innocently. "She's one of the weakest members of our team… and I can't talk to her without her saying 'fucking males'..."
"Well… I understand," muttered Metilda. "You do write yaoi… you must be very offended that she hated… males… and males' love."
Poppy giggled. "Thanks for understanding! That's all for now!"
000
Poppy: I don't hate Sophia but her hate of males in a oddity…
000
Junior: *starting to wear his hoodie* Hmm… forming an alliance is a good idea… it might help us make it far and win this!

Maya blinked as she eyed the dark screens of her 3DS. She was currently sitting in the dining room of the villa. Sitting across her were Darren and Otis.
Darren warily eyed the Gardevoir. "Yo… are you going to eat or what?" He then eyed the plate of pancakes in front of the gamer. "Your pancakes are getting cold."
"I'm not hungry… my… battery… is dead," mumbled Maya with a nonchalant expression. She then placed her gaming console on the table, grabbing the fork with her free hand. "I hope… that my power level is high enough to stab through this plate of pancakes!"
Otis chuckled as he sprinkled a handful of sand onto his plate of scrambled eggs. "Sand is delicious… it makes everything delicious!"
Darren grinned weakly. "Sure it does, Otis. Though… it might be unhealthy…"
Otis sneered at the Rhydon. "What foul language are you speaking? My sand is omnipotent and ethereal! It knows all! So stop smack-talking it, it has feelings too!"
"Sand communication is still locked," muttered Maya, stabbing her pancakes with the fork. "I need to level up in order to achieve that ability."
Otis chuckled darkly. "Sand communication is not required. Sand is ethereal. Sand is omnipotent. Sand can't be washed away by the waters of danger…"
"Okay… thanks for the info," Darren stammered nervously, removing his headphones. "I doubt that we'll need it though. Though, I appreciate your appreciation of sand. It reminds of my appreciation for music."
Otis smirked. "Why thank you! My sand appreciates your opinion! My sand tells me to include you in my future alliance… me and my sand!"
Darren smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Sure man… whatever you say."
000
Otis: As a ground type, Darren is the one who understands sand! It's his blood relative for goodness sake! Sand is just a vessel… for the power that lies within…
000
Darren: *rubbing the back of his head* Well… I don't know what I did… but I'm quite glad I made Otis happy. Even if he's quite… eccentric.
000
Maya: I… need to level up. I'm probably one of the lower-levelled members of this team. I need to start training… or else I might get booted.
000
Meowzer groaned as she wobbled into the empty mess hall. She sighed as she sat on the table nearest to the door.
Vivian exited the kitchen, holding a tray with a beaker of strange liquid from before. She giggled as she placed it next to Meowzer. "How are you holding out? Is your tummy feeling okay now?"
Meowzer grumbled as she held her head in pain. "It still hurts… ugh, do you have any cigarette… or weed… or pot at least?!"
"Awww… are you going to return to whole habits?" queried Vivian, attempting to show an evil grin. "Well… I might have some hidden…"
Meowzer grinned, sagging lines somewhat vanishing. "I would like that… very much."
Vivian grinned, taking out a packet, giving to the Meowstic. "Don't tell… and please proclaim my evil for I am Chaos!"
Meowzer grinned, taking the packet before running out of the mess hall.
Vivian then sighed as she sat down. "Oh my… am I actually helping people… I'm Chaos so why do I keep helping them for some reason…"
000
Vivian: I am an evil mastermind! Helping Izaya and Meowzer are my only good deeds! Watch out for this intern is about to spark some mayhem!
000
Meowzer: *breathes out a puff of smoke* Man, this stuff is good. I'm officially enthralled…
*frowns* But… I must hide this. My mind is still intact… so I mustn't overdo it...
000
Juvia yawned as she exited her cabin. She was going to explore the island today so that she can familiarize herself with her surroundings. The main campgrounds were currently empty, no contestant in plain sight.
Juvia floated to the beach. She grinned as she saw Izaya sitting on the sand, staring at the water wistfully. Stifling a giggle, she sat next to the bat.
"How are ya, Izzy?" Juvia asked the Crobat with a playful expression. She then giggled as she stared at the water. "You must be thinking of something… I know that expression of yours!"
Izaya sighed, remembering his visit to Vivian's base yesterday. "It's nothing… I'm just thinking about strategy… for the competition."
Juvia giggled, making Izaya smile warmly. "Well… we can talk about that… but for now, let's talk about stuff… it's quite early so let's talk while we still can, Izzy!"
Izaya chuckled, blushing. "Well of course."
"Okay! Well… I explored some ruins in the woods during the last challenge!" enthused Juvia cheerily. She then turned to Izaya. "What did you do last time?"
Izaya smiled at the Shuppet. "I… did the challenge…"
000
Izaya: Juvia is very cute… and welcoming… I should tell her later… I still have to think about something…
000
Juvia: Izzy may look threatening but he's actually a sweetheart! That's why I love him so much!
000
Kaiser grumbled as he tossed his pillow off of the bed. He was muttering incoherent mumbles as he slept. Clay gave the sleeping Hydreigon a concerned look as he fluffed his pillows.
"Poor guy." Clay muttered to himself. "I wonder what's going on inside his head…"
Kaiser's eye suddenly opened. "No… NO!" He growled as he sat on his bed with a scowl. "I can't lose… it wasn't my fault…"
"K-Kaiser, are you okay?" Clay queried the Hydreigon with concern. "You look… troubled. My master taught me how to deal with t-these kinds of things so you can count on me…"
Kaiser sighed, showing an unusual sympathetic expression before returning to his usual scowl. "I don't need your pity. I can do it myself!"
"Umm… I won't bite," assured Clay nervously as his hands started to tremble. "Umm… you can tell me… yeah…"
Kaiser sighed, expression relaxing a bit. "I guess… I'm not that trusting though so perhaps, I could start now…" He then let out an expression of hate. "I need a break… I can't lose myself to insanity and anger. I'm better than this…"
Clay smiled weakly at the Hydreigon. "Umm… let it all out, man…"
Kaiser silently growled. "I need to go…" Kaiser flew out of the cabin with an indescribable expression.
Clay's hands fidgeted nervously. "..."
000
Kaiser: *hits the side of the confessional* I fucking hate this! I need to keep it together… I don't want to look like a weirdo… *frowns, looking down* I… don't know anymore…
000
Clay: Kaiser is a confusing guy… is he bipolar?
000
Brianna couldn't sleep. She plagued with nightmares for the past few days. She huffed as she covered her lower body with a mint green blanket.
"Stupid team… stupid Trevor… stupid Sari… stupid Walter." Brianna muttered to herself, burying her head under a pillow. "Why don't they listen to me..?"
She then lifted the pillow off of her face, eyes boring into the bedroom window. She noticed Lance peering through the window with narrowed eyes.
"What is he doing?" Brianna asked herself with a frown.
The Decidueye shook its head before vanishing from view.
Lance continued to fly around the area. He was attempting to search for the immunity idol. He checked everywhere but the idol was still nowhere to be found.
He sighed as he perched on a tree branch. "No immunity idol in sight…" He then heard some rustling coming from the bushes nearby.
His eyes narrowed in suspicion as Atticus emerged from the bushes. "What the? Hmm… this is suspicious… the heroic Lance might be required for this…"
Atticus muttered something to himself as he noticed Lance perched on the tree. He decided not to speak, knowing that the bird was watching him.
Atticus quickly entered the villa shortly afterwards.
Lance grumbled to himself as he failed to gain intel. Taking a deep breath, he flew off the branch.
000
Lance: I suspect a lot of people in this competition… there might be a collaboration of villains in the future so I must be wary and search for clues…
000
Atticus: *continues to jot down notes* Hmm… Lance has a lot of weaknesses so I shouldn't worry about him… though, there are a lot of visible threats… I should immediately deal with them…
000
Hazuki sighed as she held a cup of chamomile tea. Sitting next to her was Drake. Surprisingly, the two got along rather well. The Gabite was gingerly holding a small cup of coffee.
"So… Hazuki, how is life outside the game?" Drake casually asked the Delphox, taking a sip from his cup. "I see that you're quite social and amicable, though you can sometimes be reckless and immature."
Hazuki pouted at the Drake. "I was just teasing. I'm not a bad girl after all." She then sighed as she took a sip. "I won't be a bother, I promise!"
"Well… I hope so," muttered Drake with a deadpanned expression. He then turned back to the Delphox. "Do you have any close friends outside the game?"
Hazuki nodded.
"Do you have a special someone?"
CRASH
Hazuki's cup of tea shattered as it fell to the floor. Her left eye twitched. "Sorry? I have a lot of friends… though that question is quite…" Hazuki shook her head. "I'm sorry but this conversation is over."
Drake furrowed a brow as the Delphox stood up, leaving the table.
000
Hazuki: *takes a deep breath* Okay… I'm still hung about that but… I'm trying to cope! I need to keep myself together!
000
Drake: *squints* I'm not going to intrude in her private life. If she decided to have a sudden burst of emotions, I won't mind.
000
"Contestants, please head to beach for another challenge," piped up Nihilego's voice through the intercom.
The contestants all stood in front of the two hosts. Behind the hosts were two giant ships that could fit one team on it.
"Okay, are you all ready for the second challenge?" Nihilego queried rhetorically, clasping her tentacles cheerily.
"No, tentacle pussy." Rae said simply. "We're not yet ready."
Nihilego blushed in embarrassment. "That was rhetorical…" She shook her head. "Okay, this challenge would be simple yet complicated rescue mission."
"Will we rescue your missing virginity?" Rae drawled huskily. "Oh that's right, no one would want to take yours away in the first place."
Nihilego internally screamed in her head but decided to continue with her explanation. "Well, you'll rescue an intern, one for each team."
Crimson gulped, raising her hand. "Even D-Donald."
"Even Donald," giggled Nihilego cheerily. "Sooo… they're currently at another island, waiting to be saved so all you have to do is save them. The first team to bring back their intern here on the beach wins the challenge."
"Which intern do we have to save?" inquired Favian.
"Well… since the Noctowls won last time, they get to save Vivian the Roserade while the Octilleries get Donald the Gumshoos," explained Nihilego with a shy smile.
"Fuck! I don't want to save the pervert." Breon enthused with a cold scowl.
Sophia nodded hesitantly, not wanting to agree with a male. "I don't want to save any filthy males… especially a pervert!" She then raised her head proudly. "I'm a proud female after all so mingling with the beggars would ruin my status."
"Ohohoho, is that true?" Alex asked sarcastically. "I would drop dead just from smelling you, you stinky asshole."
"Settle down." Nihilego requested sternly. "We still have to finish explaining…" She then smiled as everyone stopped talking. "Okay… the island where the victim's are located is the desolate and dangerous island of Broken Dreams."
Azure raised her left hands. "Umm… what's that? I didn't see any other islands during the boat ride here."
"Well… it's quite well hidden." Nihilego explained with a lighthearted giggle.
"Actually, the island is on this island." Guzzlord revealed, nibbling on a tin can. "But… you'll need the boats to get there…"
Nihilego nodded in agreement. "Well… good luck finding the island!"
000
Sophia: For this challenge, I would proudly lead this team of suckers!
000
Azure: *jots down some notes* Hmm… perhaps, I should've drawn a map of the island when I had the chance…
000
The Octilleries boarded their boot then started to look around for important supplies. Clay exited the control room, carrying a duffel bag.
He then walked to the bow of the boat where everyone was waiting.
"Okay, who would want to steer the boat?" Ruby asked her teammates sternly. "We need to be fast yet careful. I don't want to lose to those Noctowls again."
"Well, I know how to steer a boat," boasted Sophia. "I'm a proud female after all! I learned how to steer when I was still six!"
"Oh… I learned when I was still four," drawled Quentin, deadpanned. The Sylveon then grinned. "I can steer the boat for the team!"
Ruby nodded as the Sylveon padded off to the control room. "Okay… let's start!"
The boat started to drift away from shore.
Izaya eyed the opposing boat, that was nearing them, warily. He turned to Ruby. "Well… shouldn't we delay the other boat… so that they would arrive at the island later than us. Nihilego didn't say it wasn't allowed."
Serall snickered darkly. "I'm so glad that we can hurt the other team freely. My fists are itching for a brawl."
"But we don't want to hurt them too much," whimpered Clay, dropping the duffel bag with a look of disapproval. "We only have to delay them after all…"
"What do you suggest?" Icy queried, tilting her head in confusion, eyes darting between Clay and Luther, who was wobbling around the ship shakily. She then tapped her chin. "Well… we can freeze their boat… no one could get hurt, r-right?"
"Well… they might catch a c-cold," whimpered Clay, shivering. "Let's just use… psychic powers to delay them."
"Good idea," remarked Ruby. She turned to Juvia and Icy. "You two will be doing that job!"
"I promise to do my best," chirped Juvia with a kind smile. "I would help my team!"
Icy nodded nervously. "Y-yeah… this is w-what they get for hurting Luther…" Her gaze hardened. "I'm not going to let them make it out without mental damage!"
"Well… stop dilly-dallying and hop to it," huffed Ruby sternly.
Icy and Juvia nodded, walking away.
"Okay… so Maya uses her telekinesis to delay the opponent's boat?" Zane queried the Slowking, rubbing the back of his head. "Well… what if the other team have a back-up plan?"
"Well… we would have to use… hitting power… kicking… attacks," explained Favian, pausing between words. "So… they can't retaliate if they're all fainted…"
"Good plan," remarked Jack with a nonchalant expression. "So… Lance and Sora can do an air strike… and I could use Shadow Ball on them while remaining invisible…"
"Thank you henchmen for helping me plan." Brianna said cooly. "This team would literally fall apart without me!"
"Oh my! Leader Brianna is so smart!" cooed Azure, flailing her arms in excitement. "I'm such a fan, aren't I?!"
"Well… let's commence with the plan." Favian sighed, looking down at the floor. "Okay… Maya, Lance, Sora and Jack… remember the plan…"
The aforementioned four nodded, floating away from the Slowking to commence the plan.
000
Favian: I respect the fact that Brianna wants to be in charge but she should stop interrupting… it would just cause more problems.
000
Brianna: Okay… following me is not a right but a privilege so don't go complaining about your rights!
000
Icy sighed as she started to use her psychic powers to stop the Noctowls' boat from moving any further. Though, the boat was too big for her to delay alone.
Juvia grinned as she stood next to the Froslass. "Okie dokie! It's time for me to help the team!" Her eyes glowed purple as she started to channel her psychic powers on the opposing boat.
Maya gulped as she noticed the two. "My special attack stat is lower than theirs! I'm thoroughly screwed… g-good game everyone!"
Jack gave the Gardevoir a 'seriously?!' look. "Maya, just do it! I'll distract them!" Jack then charged up a Shadow Ball, aiming it at the Shuppet.
Lance grinned as he shot at Dark Pulse at the side of the Octilleries' boat. "Take that, villains! Chalk one up for the heroic lance!"
"Lance, stop talking and start attacking Juvia and Icy… or something." Sora intoned, continuing to use Aerial Ace on the boat.
Juvia giggled as she started using Shadow Ball on the Decidueye. "I'm sorry for this!"
Serall then stood next to Juvia, clenching his fists with a smirk. "Time for me to strike!" He clawed the wannabe hero. "Muahahahahaha!"
Sari grinned from the other boat as she breathed fire at the scaly dragon, winking maniacally. "Sorry, I didn't see you there!"
000
Juvia: This is quite easy! Izzy would be proud!
000
Serall: *now covered with burns* That sexy salamander is a bitch! I'm going to defeat her and her fucking team!
000
Favian was in the control room of his team's boat, steering the ship. Azure and Brianna were both assisting him. Otis was just eyeing the windows of the control room lustfully.
"Okay… what part of the floating land… archipelago… island should we check first?" Favian asked his teammates. "We don't want to lose against those originals."
"Well… we could for some waterway… or rivers that would lead us to somewhere," suggested Azure with an intellectual expression. She then grinned. "Ooh! Let's do that!"
"That's a good plan, follower." Brianna remarked with a cocky grin. "Let's search for riv- Otis, stop that!"
The Stoutland was licking the windows, tail wagging vigorously. "My sand… has evolved… to glass! I would still love you, no matter what form you take!"
Favian blinked. "What sorcery is this? Is this specimen… licking the glass barrier?!" He rubbed his back sheepishly. "This act of lust isn't enough to stop us!"
Azure and Brianna nodded nervously.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Favian enthused, ignoring the sounds of licking.
000
Favian: Otis concerns me… does he need medical help for his mental state?
000
Otis: *grins creepily* Sand is ethereal. Sand is omnipotent.
000
Azure: I am my leader's follower so I must follow well!
000
Sophia yawned as she continued to pace around the ship, mind filled with thoughts about her feminazi campaign.
She huffed as she suddenly bumped into Izaya. A scowl formed on her face at the sight of the bat. "Males these days, they are so clumsy and reckless!"
"You're the one who was spacing out." Izaya pointed out nonchalantly, visibly unaffected by the Bastiodon's remark. He then frowned. "Now… leave me be… I'm still pondering on a certain matter."
Sophia furrowed a brow. "Is it porn? Males are known to be very horny!" She then frowned. "Isn't my body enough to satisfy your tastes?! I mean… I'm gorgeous!"
Izaya blinked nonchalantly. "Really? All I'm seeing is a Bastiodon with a really bad attitude…"
Sophia's left eye began to twitch. "I am not just a Bastiodon! I'm a hot, sexy, gorgeous Bastiodon!" She stomped her hind legs repeatedly. "I'm also the leader of this team!"
Ruby furrowed a brow as she approached the duo. "Izaya… I need you to help in stopping Lance, Sora and Jack from attacking Icy and-"
"Juvia…" Izaya muttered, nodding. "I'll be there… I'm always there… to save… her." His eyes widened as Vivian came to mind. He shook his head. He only love Juvia… right?
Izaya flew away with a distressed expression.
Ruby then turned to Sophia. "How about you? You can't just stand idly… you need to help the team… I'll be helping Quentin steer the ship… we have an island within an island to find!"
"I am helping! I'm beautifying the ship!" Sophia explained haughtily. "I'm lots of help! I'm an asset to this sucky group!"
Ruby's stare hardened. "Well… I'll be warning you, your safety is not guaranteed."
000
Ruby: I'm not afraid to do foul play! So… Sophia should toughen up and help the team! She's also fucking annoying!
000
Sophia: I'm fucking sexy and hot! I'm also a female! Working hard is not on my job description, missy!
000
Icy narrowed her eyes, focusing on a buoy on the path of the Noctowls' ship. Sure, Icy was not the violent type but this was for the team. She took a deep breath as she attempted to use her psychic powers to make the opposing boat hit the buoy.
Sari giggled maniacally as she aimed a Shadow Ball at the Froslass. "Good night, fucker!'
Icy quickly dodged the Shadow Ball. "W-what are you trying to do? Kill me!"
"YUP!" yelled Sari, using Flamethrower. "No one can stop me!"
Raven grinned as he stood next to the salamander with a wild stare. "I'm going to help you, Arceus-fucking bitch."
Sari forced a grin as she continued aiming Flamethrower at the Froslass, who continued to dodge.
Juvia took a deep breath as she began charging up a Shadow Ball from outside of the salamander's line of vision. Exhaling, she aimed it at Sari, shooting it.
Sari jumped out of the way, gritting her teeth. "Ghost bitch! I'm going to kill you for that!"
Lance swooped onto the Octilleries' boat, aiming a Dark Pulse at Juvia. "Sorry missy! This world needs the heroic Lance!"
Sora grinned as she flew higher. "Brave Bird!" She plummeted towards the side of the boat, hitting it was a hard thud.
Juvia peered over the edge, checking if the Staraptor was still fine after her collision with the boat. "Are you still okay?"
"Juvia, be careful," warned Icy, continuing to dodge Lance and Sari's attacks. "It might be a trick… all we need to do is delay them… this isn't the true challenge yet."
Juvia nodded, floating away from the side of the boat. She then aimed a Shadow Ball at the salamander. "Stop attacking my friends!" With a huff, she fired the Shadow Ball.
Sari's eyed widened as the Shadow Ball collided with her face, causing her to fall to the floor with thud.
CRASH
The Noctowls' boat hit the buoy, smashing the front end of the boat. Sari stood up, clenching a fist. "Why, you motherfuckers! I'll kill you all!"
"Sari… just… attack them." Jack drawled, eyes darting around wildly. "I have a intricate plan…"
"Gladly." Sari answered, firing a Shadow Ball at Icy.
Icy groaned as she fell to the floor upon impact. She was losing energy from using her psychic powers and dodging. She struggled to stay afloat but continued to fall to the floor. Luther, who was wobbling around woozily, stumbled upon the Froslass.
"Y-yo-you okay, Icy?" Luther asked the Froslass who was struggling to stay afloat.
"I'm f-fine," lied Icy. She didn't want to look weak in front of her boyfriend. She grunted as she fell to the floor again. "Perfectly f-fine."
Juvia shook her head as she watched from the distance, charging up another Shadow Ball to attack the opponent's boat.
000
Juvia: Lying is bad, isn't it? Icy should be more truthful next time… before she ends up hurting someone.
000
Icy: Ugh… I should really grow some balls! I'm in an alliance so I need to cooperate to make the merge!
000
Brianna gritted her teeth as she eyed the large dent on the front of the boat.
"How did a small buoy did that?!" Brianna screeched in disbelief. She shook her head. "It's just a small dent… let's move on!"
"Well… let's just continue, Leader Brianna," whimpered Azure, clutching to her notebook. "The other team might resume attacking us… Sari was seriously banged-up."
Brianna sighed as she walked with Azure towards the control room. "Where's Sari anyway? I haven't seen her on the way."
"She's in the control room," answered Azure sheepishly. "Otis, Favian and Raven are also in the control room too."
Brianna nodded hesitantly.
Azure and Brianna both entered the control room. Favian was steering the ship. Sari was lying on the floor with Raven watching her and Otis was continuing to lick the windows.
"Okay… Favian, how are we?" Brianna asked the Slowking.
"Well… the ship suddenly stopped… so I repaired the problem using my psychic powers." Favian answered. "We can continue… though, Otis and Raven are quite noisy."
Brianna walked towards the satanist, who was chanting over the weak Salazzle. "Hey, what are you doing here? You don't even know how to steer!"
"I'm praying over my lord's feast! Lord Giratina likes to feast on dead psychos," explained Raven, eyes shut. "And… he has never eaten in a long time!"
"Some god, my sand can provide food to the entire Pokemon race so Giratina is quite pathetic," scoffed Otis, turning away from the window. "Sand would fall down your throat simply… but be careful not to choke… sand is ethereal and knows all. Sand is the deity that holds this world together and it is the strings of life!" Otis chuckled maniacally. "Bow down, doggie!"
Sari groaned as she sat up, holding her head. She glared at her surroundings. "Are we even doing the fucking challenge or are we just sitting ducks?"
"Well… we're just going to get boat started again." Azure explained, jotting down some notes. "You were quite… banged up earlier…"
"Well… at least I hit that icy kimono bitch," muttered Sari, rolling her eyes. She stood up, brushing the dust off of her body. "Well… let's fucking go, bitches!"
She swiftly kicked Azure who cringed. "My body is fucking ready!"
000
Azure: Sari is too violent… and a psychotic lizard. She's also a physical threat so I should convince the others to vote her off whether I feel like it…
000
Sari: *clenches a fist* I can't believe I let my guard down! That fucking Shuppet and Froslass are both dead to me…
*snickers* Though, that Kommo-o was a pussy…
000
Otis: Sand would bury the heretics and I'll stand over their sandified corpses! I'm Otis, the Sand Shaman Overlord!
000
Serall clenches a fist as he examined the opposing boat. He was quite annoyed that Sari caught him off guard.
He smacked the railings hardly. It was embarrassing. He was athlete after all and being caught off guard would make him a disgrace.
He then noticed Icy, Juvia and Luther nearby, barely fending off Lance, Sora and Jack. He smirked, if he were to defeat the two attacks, perhaps it might give him some recognition from his teammates.
He staggered towards his teammates with a cocky smirk. Serall quickly clawed Jack, who screams in pain in response.
Jack took a deep breath as both he and the scaly dragon were enveloped with a dark light.
"What the fuck is this?!" growled Serall, continuing to use Dragon Claw on the Lampent. "I can't be beaten by a stupid fucking lamp!"
Jack yawned before floating back to his own ship. "Well… hit me if you can… I'm too far from you… if Sari can beat you, I can obviously can too!"
Serall suddenly collapsed to the floor. "D-destiny Bond?" Serall noticed that the Lampent also collapsed on the other boat.
Icy groaned as she too, collapsed. Juvia shook her head as she fired a Shadow Ball at Lance. Luther tilted his head as he stood over Icy, still woozy from the events last challenge.
"Icy… are you really okay?" Luther questioned the Froslass, voice hardening yet still had a concerned tone. "You should really take it easy… ugh, my head still hurts but I'm quite fine now… Nihilego's medical knowledge was quite subpar but it did the job."
Icy smiled before finally fainting.
Juvia sighed as she floated to the fainted Froslass. "Well… I defeated the attackers now…" The camera panned to the deck of the enemy ship where Sora and Lance were both lying down, fainted.
Trevor poked Lance's body. "Can I eat him?"
The camera panned back to the Octilleries' boat.
Juvia sighed, shaking her head. "I don't see why Icy had to hide her own weaknesses…" She then grinned. "Well… I'm quite happy for them. I learn from my mistakes… being confused is quite exhilarating, if you know everything, what's the fun in that?"
Luther frowned. "Juvia… let's take Icy-"
Before Luther can continue, Izaya flew next to Juvia with a tired expression. "Juvia… sorry that I was late… I was pondering on something…"
"That's fine! I'm just happy to see you." Juvia giggled.
000
Luther: I'm… quite confused. Juvia is clueless… yet knowledgeable at the same time… Izaya is quite lucky to have her…
000
Serall: *groans* I'm quite furious! That lamp cheated!
*smirks* Thankfully, he's not the only who does…
000
Juvia: My mind is an open book… though, its contents might be written with invisible ink!
000
"I think I know where the island is." Quentin said to Ruby as he steered the ship with his ribbons. "We have to follow the river inland though… then we'll find ourselves in a lake… in the middle of the island… in the middle of a lake."
"Woah… how didn't we find that during the last challenge?" Ruby queried the Sylveon, quite confused. She then smirked. "It doesn't matter… we'll win this challenge!"
Kaiser, who was standing near the door, stared at the Sylveon suspiciously. Quentin oozed malice and sadism. The Sylveon felt familiar somehow.
"You okay?" Clay asked as he stood next to the Hydreigon with a concerned expression. "You look troubled… you can t-tell me."
"You again?! I told you that I can't." Kaiser muttered, surprisingly softly. "I… really can't…" His expression mellowed a bit as he took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Clay… I'm in need of power and asking others for help won't boost my self-esteem…"
"Kaiser… learn to trust others," cooed Clay with a weak smile.
Kaiser blinked. "Wait… Clay… you're acting awry too…"
Clay tilted his head in confusion. "W-wha?!"
"It's nothing…" Kaiser muttered, shaking his head.
Raven grumbled to himself as he paced around the ship. The challenge was quite tedious. They were trying to reach their destination for hours already and the cultist was getting bored.
He perked up as an idea formed on his tiny mind. "Hehehehe… this would be perfect… I can beat Otis and form a following in the process…" Raven closed his eyes to think. "Hmm… but who would be perfect for this cult…"
He continued to pace around until he noticed Otis nearby. The Stoutland was devouring something powdery and dark-coloured. Probably sand.
He then furrowed a brow as the Stoutland blew the sand off of his paw. "Strange." Raven shook his head. This wasn't important anyway.
Drake sighed as he stood by the door to the control room. He was thinking about Hazuki's outburst earlier. He was not yet knowledgeable of the Delphox's personal life but he was intrigued.
Willow hummed as she wobbled towards the land shark with a grin. "I see that you're down. Do you want me to find love?" She then swooned. "Ah, love is so grand yet rejection is painful."
"I'm not finding love." Drake drawled, crossing his arms. He pointed at Hazuki who was staring at the water. "Ask her that… I'm just minding my own business."
Willow giggled as she hovered to the Delphox.
Drake blinked nonchalantly. "Well… that was easy."
The camera panned to Hazuki who blinked in confusion as Willow approached her.
"Wha? Willow, what are you doing here?" she asked, startled. "And… your grin is quite creepy…"
"Well… I'm here to find love for you!" Willow gushed eerily. She spun around before turning back to the Delphox. "Well-"
"Land ho!" Azure yelled as she exited the control room with a sheepish grin. "Let's go, guys! Let's save Vivian!"
The Azurill gestured at the lone island sitting on the middle of the lake… in the middle of the island. She then cringed as she noticed the Octilleries speeding up, surpassing their boat. "Oh my! The other team is ahead of us now!"
"Well… let's disembark, find Vivian and win this!" enthused Brianna with a smirk as she stood beside Azure.
000
Azure: *swoons* Oh my! Brianna stood beside me… ahem, Leader Brianna stood beside me! I'm a lucky gal! Meeting a great leader rarely happens in anyone's lifetime.
000
Hazuki: *blinks* What… was Willow talking about? Well… I don't have any crushes… I had an outburst earlier because of bottled up emotions… that's it...
000
The Octilleries looked at the island warily. The island looked desolate and abandoned so it's quite strange that it was on the Ultra Beasts' vacation island. The tree were all thick and had dark-coloured leaves. The beach was covered with strange purple sand.
Comf giggled darkly. "Ah… just like home…"
"Well… let's find Donald and leave quickly." Ruby said calmly as a foul odor wafted about the area. She then took a deep breath. "Let's go!"
Clay then lets out a loud groan. "This smell… it's… so bad!" He quickly covered his nose. "Master told me to avoid foul places and this island is one of them."
"Well… we still have to save Donald for the challenge." Ace pointed out.
"I have mixed feeling about this… perhaps, we can lose this challenge and abandon Donald so that the Mightyena can devour him." Crimson suggested, remembering her interactions with the Gumshoos last season. She shuddered. "I still have nightmares from that…"
"Well… we shouldn't be picky," remarked Meowzer, crossing her arms. "Donald is still a person...no matter how many 'deeds' he has committed in the past."
"Well… didn't you do all of those stuff last season?" Comf queried the Meowstic smugly.
Meowzer shook her head. "Let's just go… ahead…"
000
Meowzer: *hands on her head* I'm trying to change… I even got Vivian to get me drugs…
*eyes turn red* Well… if Comf really hates me, I'll make her hate me more…
000
Comf: *giggles* To be honest, I liked how Meowzer strangled me… it was quite cool and being on the verge of death was exhilarating. Last season was a drag… being nice didn't work… at least it proved that I can't be nice… at all!
000
The Noctowls groaned as they all stood on the beach. The Octilleries were now far ahead of them because of the delays they had, thanks to the buoy that hit their boat.
"Well… let's go ahead," drawled Atticus nonchalantly, jotting down some notes. He then smirked. "Well… if we have time, we can explore the place out."
Hazuki giggled. "Go idea. Though, I suggest that we check the high places on this island… perhaps, Vivian would be there."
"And we can talk about your love on the way!" cooed Willow.
"Wha?"
"It's nothing." Drake uttered, crossing his arms somewhat guiltily. "Willow is a fucking shipper so it's natural for her to talk about love."
Willow frowned at the Gabite, muttering incoherently.
"Okay… let's go!" Brianna commanded her group as she covered her nose. "This foul stench isn't enough to stop us!"
"Well… let's get going then, leader," Walter mumbled loudly.
Azure tilted her head in confusion as she stared at the island. "Um… guys, I think this island isn't safe…"
"Nonsense." Brianna scoffed cockily. "As your leader, I command you all to get going… into the island!"
The Octilleries travelled through the spooky forest quickly and cautiously.
Luther, who was lagging behind, cringed as he stepped on a spiny twig. "Ouch… I think my foot has splinters now."
Icy floated to the trash bag, concerned. "Luther, are you okay? Your time on the island… has been quite unlucky. You fell into that lava pit and had a long coma… this is quite concerning."
"Well… I guess so," replied Luther, falling to the dirt with a hard thud. "Ugh… why am I so clumsy lately? Is it because of the lack of garbage… or sense of unfamiliarity?" Luther held his head in pain. "And my head is still thro-throbbing from last challenge."
Icy sighed as she gently patted the trash bag's back. "You- I mean, we'll be okay…"
Meanwhile, ahead of the couple was Jester, who was staggering ahead of Metilda, who was eyeing the Shiny Treeko protectively.
Metilda quickly gripped onto the Treeko's shoulder tightly. "Be careful… this forest isn't what it seems to be…"
Jester furrowed a brow, crossing his arms shakily. "W-what do you mean, Metilda? I know that this is a spooky forest but we haven't encountered any d-dangers yet."
Before Metilda could reply, the nearby bushes rustled wildly. Metilda quickly covered Jester with her tight and painful embrace. "Don't worry…"
"If I'm being hugged then at least hug Junior too," whimpered Jester, surprisingly oblivious to the pain.
"Leave me out of it." Junior muttered, walking ahead of the duo.
000
Jester: I admit it… I quite have got used to Metilda's hugs… it feels good after you forget about all of the pain from Metilda's blades. I actually like it…
000
Junior: Those two are quite intimate… well, Metilda's overprotective and Jester's timid but I can see the chemistry between them. Though, they aren't seeking for love.
000
Luther: I feel like a nervous wreck… I can't do anything right… r-right?
000
Vivian groaned as she struggled to break free from her restraints. Donald was getting on her nerves as the Gumshoos continued to talk about his delusions.
"You're a different kind of evil, demon!" Vivian remarked, paling as bit. "Why were you even chosen for this internship?!"
Donald grinned darkly. "Gimme your virginity, hotstuff. This is for the good of Alola for I would make Alola great again!"
"This is controversial!" spat Vivian, eyes darting around the area wildly. "Geez… pure chaos can't easily be bound by thick pieces of rope!"
Donald wobbled to the Roserade, ropes still intact. "I can give you a good time… for the price of your virginity…"
"This conversation alone isn't appropriate for the young viewers!" Vivian growled at the mongoose, clenching a fist. She then broke free from the restraints. "I'm the one going to give you a good time… for me!"
The Octilleries then found themselves at the foot of a tall mountain.
"Soooo… how are we supposed to scale that large mountain?" Ace queried his teammates, sweating a bit.
"Well… not all of us would have to climb." Quentin pointed out with a smirk. He then frowned. "But how are we sure that the interns are up there?"
"It's what's expected from the hosts." Breon explained dryly. "They want to make it harder for us so they placed the interns on top a very tall mountain."
"Well… only the physically active members would climb!" enthused Juvia, floating around cheerily. "Or… we could fly or float our way to the top~"
Ace blinked. "Well… Juvia has the right idea… Izaya, Juvia, Clay, Randall, Junior, Alex and Ashley can all scale the mountain."
Ashley nodded. "I can do this!"
"I'm okay with that… but instead of Alex, I can climb instead." Crimson suggested, crossing her arms. "I'm not so sure that he can climb an anthill."
"Crimson, I'm a survivalist! I climb mountains taller than this," scoffed Alex, rolling his eyes.
"Then climb it!"
Alex growled silently as he began scaling the mountain. Juvia, Ashley and Izaya easily made it to the top via floating and flying. Clay slowly climb the mountain carefully. Randall and Junion, on the other hand, were quick as they scaled the mountain.
"Oh my! I should make a climbing yaoi next!" mused Poppy cheerily. "Climb int-"
"Stop… I know that you'll add something… dirty." Breon drawled nonchalantly. He then stared ahead. "Let's just… wait for them to climb… it might be ample time for me to think…"
Breon turned around to notice that Kaiser was strangely examining Quentin's movements… which was quite unlike the Hydreigon as he was somewhat violent.
Breon warily approached the Hydreigon with a bored expression. "Sooo… is stalking a normal attribute for Hydreigon?"
Kaiser growled at the Vikavolt. "Just fucking leave me while I'm thinking… are you thinking I'm a puny shallow dragon! Well… I'M NOT!"
"It's not that…" He silently gestured to Quentin. "What is your intention in examining Quentin's movement..?"
"Well… I'm getting this vib-" He paused, face stiffening. "Wait… why are you and that Clay guy are always approaching me…"
"This is the first time I approached you." Breon pointed out dryly.
000
Breon: I still miss Septh… but Kaiser reminds me of myself… he has some hidden depths… and I'm quite surprised that he kept his cool while talking with me.
000
The Noctowls were surprised to find the Octilleries at the foot of the mountain. As they noticed some of their opponents scaling the mountain, they quickly formed a circle.
"So… what should we do? The other team is ahead of us." Marina queried her teammates. "We can't lose this… it would ruin my reputation as the best member on this team."
"Well… Rae, Sora, Lance and Luke can fly to the top and get Vivian." Azure pointed out with a tired expression. "Then let's go back to the boat, steer it back to the beach, win this challenge and rest."
"Willow can replace me." Luke said with a lazy grin. "My wings are quite… weak."
"But… I need time to think." Willow pouted. "My ships need to be very detailed… and very spicy! This is for you, Hazuki!"
"Again, I don't know what you're talking about." huffed Hazuki, somewhat confused. She then giggled. "Well… Sora, Lance and Rae are enough for this job. Rae alone, could probably carry Vivian."
"No." Rae stated simply. "I'm quite tired… so Lance and Sora can do it…"
Lance nodded, saluting. "Yes, the heroic Lance would take one for his heroic team! I would not disappoint!"
"Well… I won last challenge for the team… so there's no risk in me winning for team again." Sora remarked sheepishly. She then grinned competitively. "Let's do this!"
Luke grinned as he watched the two birds take flight. "This is such a chill moment, bruhs…"
Marina sighed in relief as the two birds reached the top. "Perhaps, we still have a chance in this… for a minute there, I thought we would've lost."
"My sand could've help!" Otis pointed out sternly.
000
Brianna: Well… I misjudged my team… we can win this!
Sari (outside): Can I fucking kill you?!
Brianna: *sighs* Maybe not…
000
Hazuki: Willow is quite… creepy. I don't know what she's talking about… why is she suddenly obsessed with my lovelife..?
000
Drake: *deadpan* I might've flubbed after confiding to Willow… but perhaps, this might be right. It might get both of them eliminated from the competition. As a true neutral guy, I would stay on the sidelines.
000
Izaya, Ashley, Juvia, Lance and Sora were now on top of the mountain, which was surprisingly flat. Izaya blinked as he stared at Vivian, who was hitting Donald repeatedly.
"That's… what… you… get… for being a pervert!" snarled Vivian, pausing between words to exhale. "This villain is not yours!"
Donald groaned as he clenched a fist. "Blasted… females…" His eyes then closed as he succumbed to unconsciousness.
"Woah… that was quite… impressive." Izaya commented, impressed with the Roserade's actions. He flew towards the fainted Donald. "Ashley… can you carry Donald? Alex and Clay might still be climbing the mountain."
Randall and Junior huffed as they finally reached the top of the mountain. Lance quickly lifted Vivian off the ground with a huff.
Sora quickly used Aerial Ace on Ashley, causing the Whimsicott to fall to the ground due to type-effectiveness. "Sorry for this… this is for the challenge!"
Izaya quickly retaliated with Air Slash, successfully hitting Lance. Lance groaned as he struggled to take flight but his wing was now covered with cuts from Izaya's attack. "A true hero… never surrenders…"
Lance aimed a Dark Pulse at the bat but he was quickly stopped as Randall crushed him with his body.
Izaya caught Vivian before she could fall. Izaya gently placed the Roserade on the ground. Afterwards, he tipped his fedora as he floated towards Juvia.
"Izaya, let's go… Junior can carry Donald so we can finally go down." Juvia said to the Crobat hastily with a small grin.
Junior nodded as he lifted Donald. "Let's make this quick… Donald might wake up soon… and that would not be pretty sight."
"This is taking too longs! How expected of those males… and Juvia." Sophia blustered, pacing around the area impatiently. "I'm going to tell them off!"
"It's not like you can climb a cliff." Quentin bluntly pointed out, rolling his eyes. "Soo you don't have the right to judge."
Sophia rolled her eyes. "Fuck off, male!"
Quentin ignored Sophia as he walked towards the bushes, squinting his eyes in examination. He then turned to his teammates. "We should get going now… this place isn't exactly safe."
The bushes began to shake violently… along with the ground. The mountain began to decrease height, to the campers' confusion until the mountain disappeared. Izaya and Junior blinked as they carried the unconscious Donald.
Marina quickly lifted Vivian off the ground while Sora carried Lance.
"To the boat, guys!" Brianna commanded her team as she ran towards the beach. "We don't have any time to waste!"
The Noctowls followed Brianna to the beach, the Octilleries trailed behind them.
000
Sophia: This island must be a fucking male! It's quite obvious!
000
The Noctowls were the first to board their boat while the Octilleries boarded theirs shortly afterwards. However, the Octilleries hastily got the lead due to the Noctowl's technical problems.
The two teams were quite surprised as the island began to sink.
"Oh my… we could've died!" Flint exclaimed, covering his body.
"Ignore that… for now, we need to find out a way to win this." Azure said calmly. "The Octilleries are ahead of us so we need to think of a way to delay them…"
"Guys… can't anyone use a strong attack with a high area coverage?" Brianna questioned her team impatiently.
"I can burn their boat!" Sari suggested darkly. "And if I'm lucky… they'll all be dead so we'll all have less competition."
"Great idea!" agreed Brianna.
"We can't kill." PJ protested with a frown. "We're all Pokemon so let's just get along!"
"Sari, just use Flamethrower on the other boat." Brianna ordered the Salazzle sternly.
Sari grinned as she nodded. "I won't disappoint!"
Serall's eyes widened as his head was engulfed with Flamethrowers. He clenched a fist as he realized that it was Sari who attacked him.
"Oops again… I missed the boat." Sari lied with a giggled before continuing to use Flamethrower at the scaly dragon.
Poppy used Water Pulse on the salamander. She giggled triumphantly. "Take that, sexy salamander girl!"
Sari growled as she clenched her fists, she turned towards the door to the control room. "Brianna, hit their boat!"
"With what?" questioned Brianna's voice off-screen.
"The boat!" yelled Sari with a psychotic expression.
The Noctowl's boat quickly collided with the opposing boat, chipping off parts of the ship.
"NO! OUR SHIP!" cried Poppy dramatically as the boat began to sink. "IS THIS… THE END?!"
"It couldn't get any worse, right?" Junior tried to lighten up the mood… but…
Donald's eyes opened. He looked around lustfully. "Ooh… is this heaven or what?"
"FUCKKKKK!"
The Noctowl's boat wasn't faring any better. The side of the boat was ready to collapse.
On the bright side, the beach was now in sight…
"MALES! THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THESE BOATS ARE MALES! IF A FEMALE BUILT THIS, THE BOATS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DESTROYED EASILY!" Sophia snarled, pacing around the boat franticly.
"Stop walking around, you're just rocking the boat!" Alex yelled to the Bastiodon.
The feminazi didn't listen as she continued to panic.
CRASH
The Noctowls' boat reached the shore first while the Octilleries reached it shortly afterwards.
Nihilego paled as she noticed that the two boats were nearly destroyed. "Woah… this is a lot of damage than what I expected…" She hastily turned to Guzzlord with a frown. "I told you that a hentai challenge would be better!"
"Shaddup." Guzzlord mumbled, rolling his eyes.
Donald grinned as he approached the jellyfish. "Are you here to proclaim my presidency… I did make Alola great again!"
"You're out." Nihilego declared dryly. "You're annoying… and every second of screentime you have lowers other contestants' edits."
Donald frowned. "W-wha?! You can't do this! I'm the president of Alola… and soon, the world! I'll sue you for unfair judgement… I'll charge you with rape!"
Donald was silenced as Nihilego shot him with her toxins. "That'll immobilize him for now…" She then turned to the Noctowls. "Noctowls, you win again so no elimination… while the Octilleries would have to vote off-" She then groaned. "Why am I even trying to add drama? The elimination would be as obvious as Donald's delusions."

Crimson: Yup… Sophia is definitely going tonight…

Evelyn: Sophia is a disgrace to females… enough said…

Sora was out training again in the middle of the woods. She was quite happy then won again. She cringed as she heard someone sigh.
She hastily turned to a twisted tree and noticed Luke, perched on a branch with a relaxed expression. "You! What are you doing here… again?! This is the second time you've done this… in one day!"
Luke yawned. "Bruh… chill. I'm just chilling out, dude… so continue training… you're stressing out too much."
Sora sat down, crossing her wings. "I'm just training! There are a lot of competition so I need to make sure that I'm on the upper half of the spectrum or else I'll be booted."
As the Staraptor looked up, the Taillow was nowhere to be found. She blinked in confusion. "This is getting weird…"
Sophia grumbled as she sat on her bed in the female losers' cabin. The others in the room were Ruby and Meowzer. The Meowstic was looking jittery as she held her head while the Skuntank closed her eyes in thought.
"They surely would want me to stay." Sophia muttered to herself, rolling her eyes. "I mean, I'm drop-dead gorgeous! My haters are not even Pokemon, they're males!"
Ruby then broke the silence. "Hey… Bastiodon, if you really want to survive this elimination, prove to me that you're actually a capable player."
"I'm already capable… I'm basically classified as godplayer! Vote me off if you want but this team would lose its strongest members." Sophia boasted cockily, rolling her eyes.
"Well… you're admitting that you're a threat… so we should really vote you off." Meowzer intoned with a creepy grin. Her expression turned light-hearted suddenly… somewhat relaxed. "Well… that made voting easier for me. Thanks, Sophia!"
Sophia blinks in disbelief. "What the fuck?!
000
Sophia: The whole fucking island is conspiring against me! They want me gone early to protect those other contestants who mean less than me! Stupid plot armor!

Serall punched a tree near the Winners' Lodge out of anger. He was not used to losing… and losing twice in a row made his blood boil.
"This fucking sucks!" grumbled Serall as he split the tree in half. "With our lame performance… I might-"
"You busy, Serall?" came a calm and endearing voice.
Serall turned around to find Quentin with a calm expression. "What are you doing here?!"
"Well… I'm just taking a walk." Quentin explained as he grabbed a berry from a tree with his ribbons. Taking a small bite, he grinned at the scaly dragon. "I see that you have a certain dislike for Sari… is that right?"
Serall nodded vigorously, clenching his fists. "During the challenge, she attacked me twice… and caught me by surprise! She is making me look like a disgrace, I'm a fucking athlete for goodness sake!"
"Well then… why don't you… settle the score with her?" Quentin suggested, gobbling up the berry whole. "Her team won twice… I can't see if we'll win the next challenges unless… you… do something about it…"
Serall grinned as he punched his right palm. "I already know what to do…"
000
Quentin: *yawns* Well… I don't want to put myself at risk early in this game… *smirks* so why not let others do the job for me? If Serall succeeds, we win… if he fails, I would just sit and watch who leaves…

The Octilleries calmly sat around the bonfire, awaiting the results of tonight's elimination. Nihilego arrived, carrying a tray of poffins. Guzzlord followed the jellyfish, gripping onto the unconscious Gumshoos with his tongue.
"Octilleries… will this be the start of the cliched losing streak or is this just a wakeup call… well, let's just wait a see." Nihilego said eerily, eyeing the twenty-three campers. "I have 23 campers sitting in front of me but I only have 22 poffins to give… who'll leave?"
000
Sophia: Junior… he's a male! Enough said!
000
Ace: Duh, it's pretty obvious…
000
Quentin: Though, I'm tempted to vote off Comf for the events during day one… I'll vote for Junior… it doesn't even matter. Sophia's going home no matter what…
000
"Everyone but Sophia gets a poffin." Nihilego announced with a bored expression as she hurled poffins at the campers barring Sophia. "Well… that was plain obvious… the feminazi is going home."
Sophia stood up with an expression of disbelief. "You males, are fucking dead to me!"
"Surprise surprise, everyone but two voted for you soooo you're leaving… so bye bye," scoffed Nihilego as the Bastiodon stormed off from the campfire ceremony.
000
Sophia: I won't say anything… BUT FUCK ALL OF THE MALES AND FEMALES ON THIS ISLAND! I JUST WANT TO LEAVE AND WASH MY BRAIN WITH BLEACH TO FORGET ALL OF THE FUCKING EVENTS ON THIS ISLAND! GOOD BYE, I WON'T MISS THIS SHITTY SHOW!
000
Sophia grumbled as she walked towards the end of the docks, where Donald was lying, unconscious.
"Any last words, you two?" Nihilego asked the losers rhetorically.
"F-FUUUUUUU!" screeched Sophia as she and the Gumshoos were kicked off the island by a giant boot.
Nihilego giggled as she hid the button. "Good 'ole boot… you never fail me!"

Juvia wandered aimlessly around the beach. She was quite tired after the challenge so she decided to clear her mind with a walk. She stopped as she noticed Izaya, sitting on the docks.
She curiously approached her boyfriend with a confused expression. "Izzy, is something wrong? You're acting weird lately, is something wrong?"
Izaya sighed silently. "It's just… emotions… that I feel." He shook his head. "I'm just here clearing my mind… nothing more, nothing less."
Juvia's eyes bored into the Crobat's. "Izzy… I know this look… it's quite familiar…"
"What… what do you mean?"
"It's the expression you had when you first met me."
Icy silently entered the girls' cabin. Everyone was surprisingly asleep barring Juvia, who was nowhere to be found.
She hovered to her bed, sitting on it. She sighed as her bed creaked from her weight, despite being light. She was getting emotional recently.
She sighed as she laid her head on the pillow. She threw the blanket off of the bed since it made her uncomfortable.
She looked at the wooden ceiling… it made her drowsy all of a sudden.
Luther… the inventor… the Trubbish… her boyfriend. Icy groaned as she continued to worry. She needed to ease up a bit or else it would bite her in the butt.
Closing her eyes, she fell asleep.
And end scene! This chapter established plotlines so watch out for that~
47th Sophia (The Feminazi)
I don't have to explain this one… I had no idea how to make her develop and even if she did, she's a clear early boot.
Starting from the next episode, the elimination might be a shocker so… watch out for that, kay?
And… if you're a male and you're offended by Sophia… don't. She's just a delusional Bastiodon~

Sophia: Review fu- (mouth gets tape up by an unknown force)
Donald: … (Holding a sign that says: "Review!"
