Doomed Desires

It was a peaceful and quiet night on the island as all the campers slept, well, all but one certain Mega Absol. Glimmershine growled to himself, holding his pillow against his head as his roommate continued to flop and say the same damn thing for hours on end.

"Karp..karp...karp..."

It was getting on his nerves how he got stuck with the never dying fish while that stupid bat got his own room for the night, or possibly few if they keep the amount of boys in check.

"Oh, that reminds me...now that we're missing a boy you guys have an odd number," Shaymin started while looking at the cabins as everyone got into groups. For the girls it was Va and Juri, Ginny and Ireen, Hazuki and Topaz. "Looks like one of you boys will be having their own cabin." he added with a small cheeky grin. Izaya grunted before making his way towards the empty cabin.

"I call dibs." he stated as Glimmershine blinked and growled.

"Oh hell no fang-face, I'm getting that room to myself." Glimmershine fired, getting up close to Izaya with a growl. "I'm the perfect one, I should be getting my own cabin." he added while flipping his fur back as Izaya just stared at him.

"I don't give two shits about how you feel or winning this lame show, I just want some good laughs." he stated, flapping his wings with a yawn. "besides, you kinda owe me for possibly saving your skin back there...If I didn't step in then you would have gotten the boot." he added as Glimmershine blinked and stepped back.

"Don't you dare try to threaten me!"

"I'm not, I just want my own room man, jeez." Izaya groaned, rolling his eyes before looking over at him. "You wanna win right? How bout' we wager a deal?" he offered as Glimmershine blinked, looking at him in interest.

"What kind of wager?" he asked, curiously as Izaya sighed, shaking his little body before giving him a look.

"I'll help you get rid of the competition and you just keep up some drama and make sure I have the empty room whenever one is available." Izaya explained as Glimmershine contemplated before nodding in approval.

"Fine...you have a deal." Glimmershine glowered before looking around, blinking when she notices no one is around. "Where is everyone at?" he questioned as Izaya inwardly chuckled.

"Oh, after the girls went in their rooms the Sloth and Espeon took one of the cabins." Izaya answered as Glimmershine stared at him, confused.

"Then who will I be sharing a room with?" he asked as Izaya moved to the side to see Stix flopping around on the floor. Glimmershine's jaw nearly dropped as Izaya lazily flew past him.

"Night." he said before shutting the door, ignoring the Absols' protest. He looked back to see Glimmershine going into the cabin with the Magikarp flopping right behind him as he shook his head with a small chuckle before heading to the bed, not noticing a Noivern hiding by the side of the cabin.

"Am I going to help the gay? Meh...only until he keeps me entertained, I think i'll help for a bit until I feel bored, then i'll just cut the guy loose." Izaya stated with a yawn before flying out of the confessional.

ZzzZ

"Am I going to abide to Fang-Face's conditions? Possibly, I mean someone to help sabotage others just for me? Glamorous~" He sang before giggling, looking over at the camera with a sigh. "Of course it never lasts forever, so i'll have to cut him loose once all the competition is gone." he added with a fabulous smile.

ZzzZ

"I have a sixth sense, it's my eavesdropping sense, so I just know a good moment on where to listen to others, but of course i'm a master of disguise, they'd never see me." Va explained with a shrug before narrowing her eyes. "I can't believe those ass wipes would try to sabotage the competition...I have to let the others know to stop them." she added with a growl.

Glimmershine growled, opening his eyes when he heard a knock at his door. He got up with murderous intent and at first he looked to the fish who was still dying, he then deemed that unimportant before looking over at the door to see two envelopes. He got up and walked over to them because Arceus forbid his roommate to do anything productive. He leisurely opened one before reading it over, raising a brow at the contents.

"Huh...It says we both have to go to the docks...ugh...can you come on your own?" Glimmershine questioned, looking over at the Magikarp before shrugging, making his own way out of the cabin with a happy-go-lucky smile.

"Welcome Va, Samson, Topaz, Izaya, Glimmershine and Sti- where is Stix?" Shaymin questioned, looking at the five irritated looking contestants before shrugging. "Whatever, anyways it's time for the next challenge." he added as Topaz looked up.

"What about the others?" she asked as Shaymin grinned.

"I'm glad you asked about that Topaz, you guys and gals are special, you were personally invited to do this challenge to get more screen time and to potentially lose while the other five get the day off and their free from elimination." he explained, grinning as Va and Juri both glared at him, Samson hummed, Topaz sighed while Glimmershine merely scoffed. Shaymin shrugged. "Hey, blame the viewers, they voted for you, so stop complaining and lets watch as your instructor, Paxton comes in." he added, moving aside for the Druddigon to walk up.

"Hey whats up?" he questioned as everyone but Samson and Glimmershine grunted a response as Samson nearly waved while Glimmershine flipped his fur back. Paxton chuckled and shook his head. "I know, I know, but remember every chance you get to know me and vice versa may get me to like you, and when I like you i'm less likely to vote you off." he added as Topaz scoffed.

"That's pretty biased of you." she stated as Paxton shrugged, earnestly.

"So i'm a biased guy, sue me." he said, chuckling softly before shaking his head. "So, the challenge is pretty easy, we'll just basically have a mini-date, get to know each other and that's about it." he explained as everyone looked to each other.

"Sounds easy~" Glimmershine purred as Va pretended to throw up at that statement causing Samson and Izaya to chuckle. Glimmershine glared at her and shook his head at her while Va gave him a challenging expression. Shaymin whistled and nodded.

"Damn...good luck with this cast." Shaymin said as Paxton nodded before looking at the group.

"Alright now, you each have a number on your letters starting from one to six or well I guess five since one of you is missing so be sure to meet me on top of that hill up there within half an hour." Paxton explained, turning to head towards a grassy green hill with a large building on top. "Try not to be late, as it will give me a bad impression of you." he added, a glint in his eye as he flies up to the hill. Samson looked up and whistled while shielding his eyes from the sun.

"Wow...can't believe we missed seeing that place." he said in a lax voice as Topaz rolled her eyes, looking away from him and at the large cottage. Shaymin chuckled and shrugged before looking at them.

"Alright so who has number one?" he asked as the group looked at their cards. Va had the number three, Samson had the number four, Topaz had the number one, Izaya had the number five, Glimmershine had the number two. Topaz sighed and looked down at her card.

"Of course i'm first." she muttered as Shaymin grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

"Think of it this way! You get to get it over with!" he said as the Froslass merely rolled her eyes before floating away from the group and towards the hill where the idiot guy was waiting.

"I'm not good with one on one conversations really, so I might be safe, but I also might go home." Topaz stated while looking down.

Meanwhile the remaining five were outside of the cafe on a bench, looking down at their meals of black sludge. Venus flinched when his sludge burns a hole on the tray and wood, watching it fall to the sand, watching as it sinks down.

"I don't think this food is safe." he stated, pushing his tray to the side as Juri scoffed, crossing her arms with a nonchalant look.

"We would have never guessed." she stated, sarcastically while poking her sludge with a stick, watching the sludge hiss at her. Hazuki looked at both of them and sighed while gesturing towards hers.

"At least yours isn't alive." she stated, watching as her sludge screeched at her before jumping off the tray, hopping away into the sea. Ireen looked down at her plate as the sludge multiplied.

"I think mine is having babies." she inquired, tilting her head before looking over at the Gothorita. "What about you Ginny?" she questioned, blinking when she noticed the Gothorita eating away at the sludge, smiling while laughing hysterically causing Venus to move back a little.

"This is amazing~ You guys going to eat yours?" she asked, mouth stuffed with sludge as Ireen and Juri slid their plates over to her. Ginny smiled and squealed before digging her spoon in the screeching sludge, stuffing it in her mouth with a loud moan. "Oh yes! Tastes just like chicken!" she moaned as Venus grunted before hurling on the floor.

ZzzZ

"I can't believe she honestly just ate that disgusting...oh Arceus-" Venus started before opening the toilets lid, holding his stomach in pain before vomiting once more.

ZzzZ

"...Pft...That scene was kinda funny...heh...", Juri chuckled, covering her nose from the stench.

ZzzZ

"Yeah, no comment." Hazuki stated, holding her head with a frown.

ZzzZ

"Karp...Karp...Karp...", Stix chanted, flopping towards the cafe as Hazuki rose a brow, standing up to get a closer look at the fish.

"Is that Stix?" she questioned as she walked over towards the Magikarp, tilting her head, blinking when its suddenly flying out into the sea. Hazuki blinked before glaring at the large jaw in front of her as Juri shrugged.

"Hey I have no control of this." she huffed, blinking when the water starts bubbling up. Hazuki looked to her before looking at the water as Ireen walks in with Venus who still looked sick.

"Ugh girl-" he started as they both shushed him, gesturing towards the water as his eyes widened. "Whoa...", he whispered while looking down at it.

OxO

"What the hell kind of travel method is this?" Topaz questioned while dodging a few boulders rushing her way. Shaymin was flying leisurely beside her while shrugging softly with a grin.

"It wouldn't be fun if you went their so easily, so I'm making it challenging!" he announced, grinning as she merely rolled her eyes, going through the boulders with ease, speeding up while ignoring his look of disbelief.

"I'm a ghost type, dumbass." she stated as he growled, looking up at the sky with a growl.

"Damn Arceus! I hate this low budget show!" he growled before folding his paws together, pouting.

Topaz landed on the top, unscratched, looking over to see the arrogant dragon sunbathing, despite being a dragon type with the rough skin ability, there was literally no reason to sunbathe, but he was anyways. It was somehow annoying. Paxton looked up at her and grinned while sitting up.

"Hey, urm...Topaz, right?" he questioned as she nodded and he grinned, gesturing to take a seat across from him. Topaz merely rolled her eyes and floated over to the seat, hovering over it with a huff. Paxton merely smiled and folded his arms. "So, how is your day so far?" he asked as she glared at him.

"Crappy." she stated as Paxton stared at her before chuckling.

"Alright, alright...let me ask you some better questions, like...what question do you hate hearing the most?" he questioned as she contemplated before scoffing, shaking her head with a sigh.

"I hate it when others ask me how ghost types reproduce, like i'm going to tell them." she answered as Paxton raised a brow, honestly curious himself. He shook his head before smiling slightly.

"So ghosts can reproduce?" he asked as she glared at him. He chuckled and shook his head with a small satisfied sigh. "Alright then, i'll hurry along now, whats your least favorite kind of Pokemon?" he asked as she rose a brow.

"I don't feel like answering that." Topaz stated as the Druddigon chuckled once more, shaking his head before looking at her.

"You do know this won't help you win the challenge at all, right?" he questioned as she narrowed her eyes and scoffed.

"Why should I kiss up to a mere dragon boy just to win some stupid money?" she questioned as Paxton blinked, frowning before crossing his own arms, scoffing at the ghostly pokemon.

"Alright then, I think we're done here." he stated as Toaz shrugged, floating away from the area.

ZzzZ

"I have no regrets." she merely said, shrugging with a nonchalant expression.

ZzzZ

"Finally I can breathe! I've been gasping for air for days and you barely give me water?! Literally?!" the Magikarp exclaimed, splashing around in the water as the four other contestants stare at him, in wonder.

"You can talk?" Hazuki questioned, raising a brow as the Magikarp glared at her, splashing in the water.

"Of course I can talk! I've been deprived of oxygen for weeks and none of you has cared!" the Magikarp screeched while crying, shaking his head while weeping into his tiny fins. "I'm so ugly and weak." he cried, sobbing softly as Juri nodded.

"You are." she agreed as Ireen looked at her and rose a brow.

"That's not very nice." she pointed out as Juri shrugged as if it wasn't her fault. Venus sighed nervously, looking down. He didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but he did need to tell them something.

"Excuse me, but...erm...something happened to Ginny." Venus suddenly spoke up, gesturing back to the Gothorita who was walking towards them, slowly, her entire body a glowing green color with her eyes dulled as she groaned, drooling from her mouth as the five contestants looked to her in shock.

"Z-zombie!" he cried, ducking down into the water before getting dragged out by Juri who glared at him.

"Oh no, if we're going to be dying then your dying with us!" she growled as Stix cried, shaking in fear.

"I'm immortal!" he cried while trying to wriggle out of her grip. Juri rolled her eyes before flinging him towards the zombified Ginny, watching as she groaned, falling back against a rock with Stix flopping on top of her.

"Yeah, looks like your immortal, unfortunately." Juri muttered while jogging away from them as Ireen followed after picking Stix up by the tail with Hazuki and Venus next to her as she looked at Juri and then Stix.

"They make a good couple." she suddenly said as Hazuki and Venus looked between the beautiful yet rude sadistic Mawile and the suffering karp. Hazuki shook her head with a scoff.

"Yeah, sure, and pigs fly." she muttered, jogging away as Venus nodded while following.

"It's true that Juri girl will rip this guy to shreds." he stated, shrugging before leaving. Ireen shrugged while rollerblading after them, looking back to see zombie Ginny following them.

"Well...looks like I'm not eating that gunk any time soon." Ireen suddenly said as Ginny walked towards them, drooling while taking her phone out to take a selfie presumably.

"This isn't fabulous at all!" Glimmershine growled, dodging the rocks with ease as he climbed up the mountain, smirking slightly at the look of disbelief in Shaymin's eyes.

"I'm done with this damn low budget show." he muttered, moving away from the mountain range as Glimmershine watched him go, shrugging while swiftly moving to the top, smirking at the Druddigon in front of him.

ZzzZ

"I don't even know if he's into guys or not, hell he might even be stupid enough to think I'm a girl, but whatever, more to my glamorous advantage." Glimmershine stated, with a smirk while flipping his fur back.

ZzzZ

"So how much money do you have exactly?" Glimmershine asked, purring along the lines as he gently moved a claw up and down the Druddigons chest, teasingly as Paxton gulped before smirking sheepishly.

"Well...my family owns a few restaurants around the Kanto region and I do have a few hundred thousand from underground work..." he answered, chuckling nervously as Glimmershine grinned.

"How nice are the restaurants?" he questioned as Paxton grinned, cockily.

"You probably heard of it, goes by the name of Draconia Cuisine." he answered as the Absol's eyes widened a fraction before nodding, enthusiastically.

"Oh my Arceus that's amazing! You're like totes loaded right?" he asked as Paxton nodded, smiling stupidly.

ZzzZ

"If I win I can get the prize money and I can even stick around with the brat and get a piece of his investments." Glimmershine stated, smirking proudly at the thought.

ZzzZ

"Alright dragon-bat it's your turn, though I'm positive that I won this round." Glimmershine announced, flipping his hair back while walking back towards the group before raising a brow at them.

Topaz had her eyes closed with her back to the mountain, Samson was lying on a rock and looked to be taking in some sun, Izaya was taking a nap while Va was punching a tree multiple times, grumbling to herself before looking up with her eyes narrowed.

"What the hell did you just call me?"she asked, growling as Glimmershine scoffed while looking around boredly.

"Do you really think Paxton would be stupid enough to pass up me for a ghost girl, a sloth who looks high all the time, a bat faced temperamental dragon, an insane creepy ass doll, a sadistic martial artist, an armored dragon obsessed with roller-skates, a fire fox in robes, a flopping dead fish, and ugly poison bat or an a green fox?" he questioned as Samson lifted his head and glared a little towards Glimmershine.

"I'm not slow...I'm just not as quick as the rest of you," he said, looking away as Izaya opened his eyes, yawning in slight boredom, shaking his body with another yawn escaping his mouth.

"That's the same thing as being slow you freaking sloth." Izaya commented as Topaz looked over at him.

"All of you are complete morons, so stop acting like you're all angels." Topaz suddenly said as Va glanced over towards the Froslass before glaring at her, a small growl etching from her throat.

"Don't act all innocent you fucking ice type!" she growled as the small talk eventually led to a full on argument between the five of them.

They all stopped when they heard someone scream. Samson looked over at blinked when he noticed Hazuki, Ireen, Stix, Juri, and Venus running from Ginny. "The hell?" she questioned, quirking her head up to see Ginny looking rather strange.

"She's a zombie! She's turned!" Venus shouted, running as Juri ran beside her with a look of indifference.

"Well...technically they changed the term to walker, so she's a walker, not a zombie." Juri corrected as Stix helplessly stayed silent within the large fangs of Juri as Samson pointed towards him slowly.

"Is he alright?" he asked as Hazuki growled, moving back with a frown.

"Who cares! What are we going to do with her?" Hazuki questioned, moving back as Va glared before stepping in front, getting in a fighting stance she snorted with a small scoff.

"We'll beat her down." she stated as Topaz deadpanned.

"Yeah, well if she is dead than that would be a problem." she stated as Va glared once more at her.

"Got a problem?!"

"Not really..." the ice ghost responded, bluntly.

"Ladies please, calm down..." Samson tried to reason only for Izaya to chuckle deeply.

The Crobat looked over at him and shrugged with a small lazy grin on his face as he watched everyone practically get at each other's throats, the zombified Ginny getting closer with each passing second.

"What? Don't tell me that this isn't the least bit of entertaining for you?" he asked as the Sloth merely rolled his eyes, bracing himself for zombie-Ginny as Paxton lazily flies down from the mountain top.

"Yo what's taking so lo- damn what the hell?!" he suddenly cried out, looking at the giggling mass of Ginny who was a sickly green color and was sending off a strange odor that smelled like something inhumane.

"Yeah that's Ginny...she turned into a zombie-erm walker after eating the food here." Venus explained, rubbing the back of his neck shyly as Paxton stared at her and then back to the group with a hum.

"So..." he muttered as Hazuki rose a brow at him.

"That's all you have to say?" she questioned, raising a brow before scoffing, folding her arms with a tilt of her head. "It's no fucking surprise you're single." she added as Paxton glared at her.

"Hey!" he growled, blinking when Juri suddenly flings Stix towards the zombified Ginny who got sent back against a tree before gnawing on the defenseless creature. Izaya chuckled while Samson's eyes widened.

"A-are you serious?!" Samson exclaimed as Juri looked back at him and scoffed before folding her arms together.

"It's totally alright dude, he's a lame-ass Magikarp, they are practically immortal." she stated, watching as the Magikarp flailed against the gnawing from Ginny.

Paxton cleared his throat and tilted his head, completely lost on what exactly is going on. "Alright, I don't understand what the hell is going on, but we need to finish the challenge, so, who's next?" He asked as Va blinked before glaring at him slightly with a low growl.

"Do we really need to continue with this stupid challenge?" Va questioned, glaring at the other dragon who just stared at her. "I mean we have a dead ice type, a nearly dead goldfish, and a psychotic zombie that you could get rid of!" she growled as Paxton shrugged with stupid expression.

"So? Looks aren't everything." he stated as she growled more before Ireen cleared her throat.

"Hold on, Paxton, sir, this Garchomp has a point...at least for Ginny who, isn't even in the right state of mind." Ireen suddenly said as Topaz scoffed and muttered 'like she was before', though no one paid any mind to her.

"You would probably play by favoritism anyway." Juri suddenly said as Paxton narrowed his eyes with a small scoff.

"So what if I do?" he questioned, folding his arms with a grunt. "It's your job to make me like you." he added as Juri rose a brow at him.

Hazuki scoffed and glared at him, about to make a retort only to be stopped by a certain legendary Pokemon.

"Hold up, I heard enough from the video room and unfortunately Ginny does have to, well, disappear." Shaymin explained, looking over to see the Magikarp flailing against the zombie Ginny, small tears forming in his eyes.

"Hold up, this is my show! I call the shots! I choose who stays and goes!" Paxton growled, glaring at Topaz and Juri. "I think I have two contestants in mind too." he added with a small growl as Shaymin sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Damn teenagers...I'm helping you dude!" Shaymin growled, flying down towards him, whispering something in his ear that made his eyes go wide before growling, rolling his eyes, Paxton looked over at Ginny and sighed.

"Fine...challenge is over, Ginny is out due to...damn technicalities." Paxton growled through his teeth, crossing his arms with a small 'hmph'. "So Ginny will be escorted out." he added as a Muk came in and grabbed the zombified Ginny while a Happiny grabbed Stix out of her grasps, putting a small band-aid on his left eye.

"What the hell did he tell you?" Hazuki muttered as Glimmershine scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Who cares, I mean it's just one step closer to winning this damn show." Glimmershine stated, scoffing before leaving the group with a small 'hmph'. Paxton watched him before nodding.

"You should all be thinking like Glimmershine, I mean next up is the team challenge and so far I only like one contestant and hate two so far," he started, looking over at Topaz and Juri with narrowed eyes. "so you had better hope you're on my nice list, or I'll make this a living hell for you." he muttered, glaring at the two as Topaz glared back while Juri yawned, slightly bored.

"Well I'm bored now." Izaya suddenly stated, yawning while flying away from the small group. Va watched them, grunting in slight annoyance before blinking softly, remembering what she had heard the day before.

Va looked over at the rest of the group and frowned. "Hey, I don't know any of you, but I heard something earlier that you should all be aware of." she started, narrowing her eyes as Hazuki, Juri and Topaz raised their brows. Samson tilted his head, Venus shrunk back slightly, Ireen looked eager and Stix was either dead or playing dead.

x0x

"So...what are your thoughts on next week's challenge?" Shaymin asked, leisurely walking next to the Druddigon who looked down in thought, grinning to himself as he snapped his claws.

"Oh, I may have an idea...and trust me, it'll be very interesting." Paxton muttered, smirking to himself. Shaymin rose a brow at him before grinning himself, looking ahead with a small chuckle.

ZzzZ

"The kid is a total idiot, but I'll let him continue to think otherwise...just until I get some more...control." Shaymin said, grinning to himself while writing down something on a notepad.
