Another chapter is finally here! But… I'm quite sad of the results.
000
Pheramosa waved her hand as she sat on an easy chair in the middle of the stage.
"Hello viewers! It's time for another live stream! But this time, I have guests other than the Buzzwole!"
The fake audience all cheered and chanted Pheramosa's name.
"Our guests are my friends: Celesteela and Kartana!"
An orange origami-like katana dropped from above while a green creature floated to the stool conveniently place to the left of Pheramosa.
"So Celesteela, how's your relationship with Kartana?" asked Pheramosa.
Celesteela blushed. "Well Phera… we're still together… but you can call me Celes"
"Ok, Celes!" replied Pheramosa.
"How about you and Buzzwole?" asked Celes.
Pheramosa frowned. "We broke up!"
Kartana let out a loud chuckle. "Broke up, my katana! You guys are still on each other! Let me remind you of what happened yesterday in Buzz's room!"
Pheramosa blushed. "We broke up and… let's just start the show!"
000
Two days after Clay's departure, Juvia gathered all of her teammates barring Luther at the kitchen for an important announcement.
Randall crossed his arms. "Well… why did you call us here?"
Juvia smiled then began to spin around the kitchen. "I felt that we need to be closer by… introducing ourselves to each other!"
"Um… I'm not exactly comfortable with introducing myself" admitted Breon.
"So… our tempered bug has a soft side!" scoffed Alex grabbing a can of soda from the fridge.
"Watch it… or I'll do something unpleasant!" threated Breon as visible sparks of electricity covered his body.
Alex rolled his eyes then turned back to Juvia. "Are you even sure our team needs this?"
Juvia nodded. "I believe"
"If she believes, I believe too!" added Izaya smirking.
Alex scratched his scalp then sighed. "Fine… let's… get to know each other"
Juvia clapped her hands in joy. "Goody! I'll start. My name is Juvia, I'm a Shuppet!"
"Thanks for stating the obvious!" drawled Randall.
"I also like tea and fashion!" continued Juvia still smiling even after Randall's rude comment.
"Um… I'm Ace… and I'm intelligent and can solve puzzles so… if you have trouble on a riddle, I'll help you out!"
Randall rolled his eyes. "Know-it-Alls" he muttered under his breath.
"I'm Alex… and I want to be in no team but since we're forced, I'm here"
"I'm Izaya…"
Juvia clapped her hands. "Those were beautiful introductions! Randall, you're next"
Randall sighed. "My name is Randall, and I hope that I can befriend you all"
Juvia then turned to Breon. "And you?"
Breon shook his head. "I don't want to talk to strangers"
"Breon, you are acting angry but… in reality, you are desiring love" said Juvia.
Tears flowed out of Breon's eyes. "The cloth is right… love me!"
Juvia smiled. "That's all of us"
"Um… I think Luther is not here" pointed out Ace.
"Then we'll have to go get him!" said Juvia floating out of the kitchen.
000
Luther's room didn't resemble the other rooms now because in the course of two days, Luther redecorated. The chest was now filled with his gadgets which he created using the stuff he collected from Eterna Forest. The desk was now in shambles as Luther removed a screw to use it on one of his inventions. The private comfort room was now a lab. The tub was filled with green goo, the shower only released trash because Luther rerouted the water to Randall's room after messing with the pipes, and Luther also bolted the toilet seat shut. He didn't even need to relieve himself. The floor of his room was now filled with trash. It was trashy but to Luther, it was paradise.
Luther laid on his trash can which he remodeled as a bed after placing one of the pillows from the bed inside. He smiled. "This is just like home…"
DING DONG
Someone pressed the doorbell Luther installed yesterday. Yawning, Luther went to get the door. He then found his teammates behind the door.
"Guys… what brings you here?" questioned Luther nervously.
Juvia stepped in the room then examined her surroundings. "It's pretty"
Randall turned pale green and tried not to puke. "What she said"
Luther frowned. "What do you need? Or are you here just to mock me?"
Juvia shook her head before settling down on the bed. "We're here to know you better!"
Luther tilted his head. "Know me better?"
"You have to introduce yourself" explained Alex.
"Oh… well, my name is Luther and as you can see, I'm an inventor!" uttered Luther showing his room to the other Nihilegos.
Izaya's eyes watered. "I need to wait outside… the toxic gas is intoxicating"
"That's spider venom which I vaporized! It soothes me!" pointed out Luther.
"Now I really have to go!" said Izaya flying out.
"Um… Ashley's waiting for me!" moaned Ace also leaving.
One by one, Luther's teammates all left leaving Luther, Breon and Juvia alone.
Breon patted Luther's back. "I know how it feels…"
Luther sighed. "Thanks Breon and Juvs"
Juvia smiled at Luther. "Good, let's play with each other!"
000
Luther smiled. "Juvia and Breon are nice but Breon has slight… anger issues"
000
"Outcasts need to stay together! That includes Septh too!" pointed out Breon.
000
After Juvia's gathering, Randall gathered Alex, Ace and Izaya at his room.
"Randall, what do you want now?!" queried Izaya impatiently.
"Shush… I want you guys to form an alliance with me" answered Randall in a hushed tone.
"I don't actually want to join… I work alone" admitted Alex.
"You can go!" sighed Randall.
Alex nodded then left.
"How about you two?" asked Randall.
Ace looked conflicted while Izaya arched a brow. "If we're in an alliance, are we going to target Juvia?"
Randall shook his head. "We'll only target Pokemon like Luther, Breon and Alex… who recently left us"
"Are we going to cheat?" asked Izaya.
"Of course not!" answered Randall.
"But… working in a team is better than an alliance" pointed out Ace.
"We'll not be a bad alliance, we'll only vote together" lied Randall avoiding Ace's stare.
Ace frowned then looked at Izaya. "I don't trust him!" he whispered so Randall can't hear.
Izaya nodded in agreement. "Me too but… I'll join… to add some zest to the competition!"
"I guess…"
"So?"
Izaya and Ace both turned back to Randall. "We'll join!"
"Excellent"
000
Randall smirked evilly at the camera. "Cheating! But… is Jaxxon watching this?"
000
Izaya shook his head. "I know Randall's moves through his gestures… he's up to something!"
000
Crimson meditated in her room like any other day. She tried to relax after the last challenge but… she was traumatized after the incident with the ghost girl.
Crimson shuddered to the thought of it. "It was only an illusion, it isn't real!" Crimson sighed. The more she denied the fact, the more she believed it was real.
She decided to end her meditation session and go to bed only for someone to knock at her door. She went to get the door. Icy floated in.
"Icy, what brings you here?" asked Crimson confused.
Icy frowned. "I'm… so lonely"
Crimson arched a brow. "If you're lonely, why me of all people?"
"Well… I feel that you're… the only one I trust" stammered Icy nervously.
"Okay… go sit on the bed so we can talk about it"
Icy nodded then did what she was told.
000
"Icy is a bit shy but I feel that she can make a connection with anyone!" intoned Crimson.
000
Juvia went back to her room after playing with Breon and Luther. She opened the door. She then gasped. She found the drawers opened, its contents were jumbled up. The bed was partly burnt. And what's worse was… her PokeDoll was nowhere to be found.
She quickly panicked then went to the bathroom to see if her doll was there. She opened the toilet, checked the tub. Nothing. She felt that she was going to cry. Her precious keepsake, lost. Juvia cried as she held her Soothe Bell.
"Izaya… I failed you" she cried.
000
A figure removed the stuffing off of the PokeDoll. It also wrote something on the doll.
000
Izaya embraced the crying Juvia. "Juvia… what happened?"
"Izaya Jr. is gone!" cried Juvia crying on Izaya's wing.
Izaya frowned. "Don't worry, I'll catch the culprit!"
000
Nihilego washed her face in the comfort room in his room while Guzzlord watched from the door.
"Nihi, is it time for the next challenge?" asked Guzzlord.
Nihilego shook her head. "Not yet!"
Guzzlord frowned. "Okay and… can I have the lifetime supply of food?!"
"Of course not!" replied Nihilego rolling her eyes.
"Oh well… it was worth a try"
000
Septh woke up on his bed… or so he thought. He found his surroundings messy. White cotton were scattered on the floor. There seems to be red streak on the wall. Judging by its smell it was… blood. Septh's eyes widened. "Wha… what happened?!"
He felt his head then felt a slight crack on his shell. "I… killed… something"
His eyes suddenly went to the back of his eyes as he fainted.
000
Poppy nibbled on a sausage while Ashley stared at the window in Poppy's room. During the past days, Ashley grew closer to Poppy after finding out they had many similar likes. She liked sweets while Poppy liked… sweet stories. Poppy recently had an addiction to creating stories after getting over painting and drawing. At the moment, Poppy was reading out loud her recent "masterpiece" to Ashley.
"Dawn came. Septh never went back home. He decided to take a walk by the boulevard. During his stroll, he spotted a Crobat… with no name. Septh's eyes turned red not with rage but with unintended murderous intent. Pouncing on the Crobat, Septh bit its head off"
"So, do you like my story?" asked Poppy.
"Um… that was… morbid" answered Ashley. "And… you used Septh's name as a main character"
Poppy nodded. "I like real things… especially Junior"
"So… you have taken a liking to Junior!" pointed out Ashley.
Poppy blushed then nodded. "I do love-"
Before she can finish, Juvia burst into the room then began searching for her doll.
"Um… Juvia, what are you doing here?" asked Ashley.
"No talk, I'm searching for Izaya!" answered Juvia panting.
"Um… isn't he over there?" pointed out Poppy pointing at Izaya who was coincidentally flying nearby.
"I'm busy!" snarled Izaya flying off.
Juvia shook her head. "Izaya Jr.!"
"Oh… that sums up everything!" said Ashley rolling her eyes.
Juvia pouted. "Please help me!"
"No-"
"HELP ME!" yelled Juvia.
"Oookay!" said Ashley scared while Poppy nodded with her left eyes twitching.
"Good… I'll come for you Izaya!" exclaimed Juvia
"Jr.!" added Ashley.
"The Yaoi harem continues" muttered Poppy.
"Say what now?!" said Ashley looking at Poppy confused. "You're the most random Poppolio I've ever met"
"The capital of Austria is Vienna!"
000
"Great, now I'm part of the doll search party or something… this sucks!" moaned Ashley. "I just miss Ace!"
000
Poppy looked at the camera creepily. "Are you supporting the love?"
000
Comf yawned as she went back to her room only to stop when she reached the door. She found a strange doll strapped to her bed and was covered with blood.
"Eeekkk!" she screamed. She then stopped. "No one must see this gruesome event"
Unknown to her, Randall was watching from the hallway.
000
"Perfect… it looked like Juvia's PokeDoll… but destroyed… maybe it is! I have a plan…" smirked Randall.
000
Comf exited her room then went downstairs. When she was nowhere in sight, Randall quickly slipped into Comf's room.
000
Nihilego took out her megaphone in the kitchen. "It's time for another challenge! Please head to the basement! It's time for another challenge! Please head to the basement"
Junior covered his ears. "Stop that… I heard you the first time"
Nihilego grinned evilly. "Just go to the basement!"
Junior rolled his eyes then stood up to go to the basement.
000
After jumping in the wormhole, it led the contestants to the entrance of a cave. Izaya squinted then noticed that the walls of the cave were reflective.
"Let me guess… navigate through the cave" drawled Izaya uninterested.
Guzzlord blinked. "Wow, that's a pretty accurate guess!"
Nihilego shook her head. "That's only the first part of the challenge! Navigating through the Reflection Cave!"
Poppy clapped her hands. "Now… we can all see each other… full body"
Ace shuddered. "Just thinking about that scares me!"
Breon nodded in agreement. "I prefer to see only my full body"
Nihilego chuckled. "Good luck with navigating! You'll need it!"
000
"Is it just me or is Nihilego getting crazier?" queried Ace.
000
The Nihilegoes all went inside together. Randall volunteered to lead since he can provide light through his fire.
"We don't need light! The walls are reflective!" countered Alex.
Randall shook his head. "We do need light… everyone knows that!"
"We don't!"
"We do!"
"We don't"
Ace grew dizzy just by looking at them argue. He knew that Randall was angry because Alex refused to join the alliance but this was mad. Sighing, Ace parted from his group.
000
The Guzzlords entered ten seconds after the Nihilegoes after calming Septh down who was depressed.
"Septh, feeling any better?" asked Icy concerned.
Septh shook his head. "I'm a little fine but… you can never change what's inside"
"Well, if you have a little surgery, you can!" retorted Meowzer.
Crimson rolled her eyes. "This is a serious matter! Our groupmate needs psychological help!"
Comf raised her hand. "I volunteer!"
Icy stopped then raised her brow. "Do… you even have any experience? I'm… not so… sure"
Comf smiled. "Don't worry! I'm a Comfey and our motto is 'Generosity is key!'"
"That's not even related!" retorted Icy nervously.
"It will be! In the next generation!" explained Comf.
"That aside, let's keep walking" urged Crimson.
000
The Nihilegos found themselves in another dead end courtesy of Randall.
"Randall, this is the third dead end we ended up on!" complained Breon.
Ace nodded. "I ran a lot in the last challenge! I'm running again this time, I swear if the second part of the challenge is a race, I'll personally kill Nihilego!"
"I'll gladly help you" offered Izaya.
Juvia frowned. "Um… let's stop talking about killing… it makes me uncomfortable for some reason!"
"Me too!" admitted Breon.
"And so the sociopath opens up" teased Randall.
"Continue that sentence and I'll kill you!" threatened Breon.
Randall rolled his eyes. "Ask Ace and he'll say the same thing!"
Luther tilted his head confusion. "Speaking of Ace… where is he?"
The Nihilegoes all looked around, which was hard because of the mirrors, then realized that Ace has gone missing.
"Oh no, Ace is-" started Juvia.
"I claim his room!" spat Luther.
"Luther!" chided Izaya displeased.
"Sorry…"
000
Ace wandered around the cave, walking briskly. He was tired of running. He sighed as he decided to squat on the floor.
"Fuck this game, I want to be with Ashley again!" he muttered under his breath.
Ace felt the mirrors covering the walls with his paw then retracted it.
"How am I going to survive?"
000
The Guzzlords were still lost in the cave. Meowzer suggested to play games to pass the time which everyone half-heartedly agree.
"So… what's red and yellow all over?" asked Icy.
"What?!" asked Crimson impatiently.
"I dunno, that's why I asked you!" chortled Icy.
No response.
Crimson turned to Septh and Comf who were chatting. "How are you two back there?"
Septh showed a faint smile. "We're fine"
Comf nodded.
Crimson sighed. "This is a boring challenge…"
000
"I hate to admit it but… this challenge sucks!" pointed out Crimson.
000
Ace stood up then felt through the wall to find his way to the entrance. He then noticed a bright light ahead. Smiling, he ran towards it… only to crash to the wall.
"Stupid reflections…" he grumbled.
000
Luther and Juvia joined forced in searching for Ace. Juvia stopped on the way then turned to Luther.
"Luth, I have to ask you something!" said Juvia frowning.
"What?" replied Luther arching a brow.
"Can you create me a device that can detect dolls!" requested Juvia kneeling.
Luther tilted his head in confusion. "I… don't think that's probable!"
Juvia whimpered. "But…"
Luther shook his head. "I'm sorry but… I'm busy later"
"Doing what?" queried Juvia arms folded.
"Breon and I are going to do origami!"
"Origami with Breon?" said Juvia confused.
"After you and Breon comforted me… Breon offered that we'll make origamis!" explained Luther.
Juvia smiled. "Good for both of you but…" Juvia's smile turned upside down. "If only…"
000
"I feel bad for Juvs, she's a happy person or ghost in that matter but… I'm going to kill that thief!" frowned Luther.
000
Breon was searching for Ace alone. He despise contact with the others other than Juvia, Septh and Luther. The others? They reminded him of his dreadful past.
Breon sighed as he lifted a heavy boulder. "Ace, are you under here?"
No one replied so Breon returned the rock to its original place then tapped it. "Stay there, will you!"
000
"It pains me to say this but I miss Clay… he may be annoying but…" admitted Breon.
000
Randall and Izaya searched together, not because they cared for Ace but because they were formulating a plan.
"Let me get this straight! We'll boot of Breon if we lose!" said Izaya.
Randall nodded.
"If Ace votes with us… its three votes!" remarked Izaya. He then frowned. "But… four Pokemon might vote for the same person and it might be… you!"
Randall shook his head. "I don't plan to lose! I already told you, I have a plan!"
Izaya frowned. "If it's cheating, I'll skin you alive!"
Randall frowned as he took a step backward from Izaya.
000
"Remind me not to annoy Izaya!" moaned Randall.
000
Izaya frowned. "Randall needs to play fair to get far in this competition!"
000
The Guzzlords reached another dead end after a lot of walking. Annoyed, Ashley punched the wall.
"I'm getting soooo tired!" whined Ashley.
"But you float!" scoffed Septh rolling his eyes.
"Septh!" scolded Comf.
Septh shook his head as his eyes glowed bright red.
Ashley frowned as she gritted her teeth. "You're going down, bastard!"
Junior and Poppy both sat down to watch, Meowzer leaned against the wall while Crimson crossed her arms. Unknown to them, Comf flew out of the picture.
000
Comf left her team for one reason: Septh. She sighed in concern. She bonded with Septh during the last challenge… they even died together. She felt sad. Why was Septh so concerned?
DING!
Comf rolled her eyes. "At a time like this!"
A wormhole suddenly popped out of nowhere and Nihilego emerged. "Comf! You're not alone is singing!"
"Not alone?! No one is around! Don't tell me you'll sing!" protested Comf.
Izaya and Randall accidentally walks into the scene.
"Is this the wrong time?" asked Randall.
"Of course not! You'll be background singers and dancers!"
Randall and Izaya both rolled their eyes,
[Author's Note: This song would be mellow and slow in Comf's parts but Randall and Izaya's parts will have the same tune as the song Reflection. It's entitled "Reflection"]
Comf: Why did this happen?
Why was I such a fool?
Is it just I can't understand men?
Was I just a tool…?
For believing in youuuu
Randall: We're just background singers
Izaya: We can say anything…. we can!
Nihilego glared at two.
Izaya: Um… let my reflection show
Randall: Who I am… insideeeee!
Nihilego: That's another song!
Comf: Is it wrong…
To believe… in you
But I can trust you now!
Randall: Won't you let his reflection show?
Who he was inside!
Izaya: Oh come on, let your reflection show
Randall and Izaya: Who you are… INSSSSIIIIDDDDEEEEE
The cave began to tremble.
"Even the cave hates your song!" remarked Nihilego as a stalactite fell to the ground.
"The ceiling is falling!" screamed Comf.
"Let's go!" urged Randall as he quickly pulled Izaya away.
000
Breon kicked another rock. He was getting ticked off. Where did Ace ended up in? He then bumped into another contestant causing him to fall to the ground.
Breon rubbed his head in pain. "What the?!"
He found Alex groaning. "Man that smarts!"
Breon approached Alex. "Are you okay?"
Alex shook his head. "I'm not okay! You have a surprisingly hard head!"
Breon frowned. "Alex… stop insulting me!"
"What?! I'm just saying it literally not figuratively!" retorted Alex.
Breon eyed the Sceptile wearily. "Alex… I'm sorry for snapping at you!"
Alex nodded. "Okay! Now help me-" Alex noticed someone behind Breon holding a gigantic boulder.
"Breon… there's someone behind you with a boulder!" warned Alex.
"What do you mean?" asked Breon as he turned around to face a mysterious figure.
"Goodbye Breon!" said the figure dropping the boulder on Breon.
"Breon!" yelled Alex. He gained strength to stand up but… that was not enough. The assailant also knocked him out.
"Izaya, we succeeded!" said the figure.
The Crobat flew from behind the figure to the fainted bodies. "Isn't this unfair for them?"
The figure revealed itself to be Randall. "Anything is fair in a competition! Now… help me set up Breon!"
Izaya frowned then reluctantly nodded.
"Perfect…"
000
Ace continued to fall his way through the cave. Through the mirrors, he noticed something… strange. It was Septh attacking his sister: Ashley.
Ace gasped. "Ashley!"
Septh continued to attack Ashley until… until…
Tears flowed out of Ace's eyes. "Ashley…"
000
Septh continued attacking Ashley who was now lying on the floor: unconscious.
Crimson went in front of Septh then folded her arms. "Septh, what's wrong with you?! I can understand Ashley but… you are different!"
Septh's eyes returned normal as he shook his head. "Crimson… what happened?" He then spotted Ashley's fainted body lying across him. "Oh no… I did it again"
Poppy looked at Septh and Crimson ominously. "You feel as if you left this world for a moment!"
Septh shook his head. "I just need rest"
"But Septh…" interjected Crimson.
"I NEED REST!" yelled Septh shocking Crimson.
Meowzer scowled. "Septh, you have problems"
"SAYS THE STONER!"
Meowzer gasped. "I feel like I'm going to kill someone!"
Poppy smiled. "Let me help you!"
"I'll contribute to the killing!" added Icy coldly. "No one… insults… um… my friends!"
Crimson frowned. "No one is going to kill anyone and Icy… be yourself"
Icy frowned. "I want to not be myself and kill!"
The group barring Septh, Icy and Ashley gasped. "What happened to you?!"
"The mirrors!" exclaimed Poppy.
Junior arched a brow. "What about them?!"
"That's not Icy!" frowned Poppy stepping away from Icy.
"I'm IcY, pLeASe BELiEve me!" intoned Icy approaching Poppy with a creepy smile.
"Scatter!" yelled Crimson.
Ashley, who just recently awoken, cursed. "This again"
000
Nihilego sat near the finish line on a deck chair with Guzzlord reading a magazine about food.
"So… what's the next challenge?" queried Guzzlord tearing a page then putting it in his mouth.
Nihilego frowned upon Guzzlord's act. "Stop reading that and… the race is more than a race"
Guzzlord arched a brow. "What do you mean?"
"Mirrors!" exclaimed Nihilego. "Their mirror counterpart might…"
"Replace them!" realized Guzzlord.
"So they have to watch out!" smirked Nihilego.
000
Izaya and Randall finally found Ace? in the middle of the cave.
"Ace, we've been worried sick! Where did you go?!" asked Randall concerned.
Ace tilted his head. "Duh? Who's duh Ace?"
Izaya frowned. "You're Ace!"
"The name is Eca, duh!" answered Ace?.
Izaya frowned. "Eca… that's the backwards of Ace.
"Who are you folks? I'm duh finded Ayazi end Lladnar!" said Eca arms folded.
"Excuse me?" uttered Randall confused.
"It's our names backward!" pointed out Izaya nonchalantly.
Randall frowned. "So… that would make you Ace's opposite!"
Eca nodded. "Nihilego freed all of us… when we were still having our own show!"
"Wait… there's a mirror counterpart of this show?" said Izaya confused.
Eca nodded.
"Who were eliminated in your show?" asked Randall.
"Hm… Rehtul and Rezwoem were both booted off!" answered Eca.
"How about Yalc?" asked Izaya.
"Why him? He's a powerful contender! Rehtul was fowl-smeling and Rezwoem became adickted to wid!" pointed out Eca.
Randall sighed. "Let's just go together to the exit!"
"Let's!" smiled Eca.
000
Icy was floating around the cave with the Guzzlords? The group then noticed Icy falling behind.
"Yci, you seem to be slow today!" pointed out Poppy?.
"Poppy… my name is Icy!" retorted Icy.
Crimson? rolled her eyes. "Stop playing games!"
"Yeah! You're being a bitch right now!" growled Septh?.
"Don't mind him… he's safe" whispered Comf? mockingly.
Icy frowned. "Who are you people and… where's Meowzer?!"
"Meowzer? Who's that?" asked Junior?.
"I think she means Rezwoem!" pointed out Poppy?.
"Okay… who the heck are you guys?!" questioned Icy.
"The name's Htpes… come near me and I'll kill you!" warned the Minior.
"Don't worry! His label is the Safe Enemy!" assured the Comfey rolling her eyes.
"That's Fmoc, she's the Greedy Meanie!" sighed Roinuj.
"Hi, my name is Yppop!" greeted the Poppolio stretching out its hand.
"Normal people!" muttered the Whimsicott rolling her eyes.
"She's the Normal… Gal… and I'm the Lazybone!" said the Whimsicott.
"Don't mind Yelhsa, she just doesn't get into the spirit of things!" explained the Litten. "We call her Elsa!"
"Thar's Roinuj, he's the Chatterbox!" said the Lucario.
"And that's Nosmirc, she's the Silent Ninja!" said Roinuj.
"Um… I think I'll have the hard time with your names!" admitted Icy.
"That's okay! You can call me Roy!" said Roinuj.
"And you can call me Smirk…" said Nosmirc eyes closed.
"Yehlsa will be Elsa, Fmoc would by Moc, Yppop would Pop and Htpes would be Hit!" continued Roy.
"Pop!" said Pop unamused.
000
Juvia and Luther continued their search for the missing Ace. Midway their search, Juvia suggested to sit down and rest.
Luther first spoke up. "So Juvs… how did you met Izaya?"
Juvia blushed. "We met at a casino!"
"That's fun… if I had a girlfriend, I wants us to first meet in a junkyard!" replied Luther.
"That will be soon! With your charm and creativity, girls would surely want you!" assured Juvia.
"But… my Asp… asper… asp… gers!" he spat back.
"Luther… believe in yourself as much as you believe in your inventions!" motivated Juvia.
Luther smiled. "Juvia… Juv… via… thanks for believing in me"
000
Juvia crossed her arms. "Girls, if you don't accept Luther, I would haunt you… figuratively of course!"
000
Ace finally reached the exit where Nihilego and Guzzlord were waiting.
"Our first contestant to reach the end!" smiled Nihilego.
"This means the Nihilegoes have an advantage!" said Nihilego triumphantly.
Guzzlord frowned. "That's only if everyone in there team is already here!"
"You're right… dammit!"
Ace frowned. "Did anyone even notice me here?!"
The two legendaries turned to him. "We did, so please sit on the bleachers!"
Ace sighed as he went towards the bleachers.
000
Eca, Randall and Izaya were walking around the cave, they were aware of the fact that they were lost but they kept moving forward. Eca bumped into another wall.
Randall quickly pulled Eca away from the wall. "Eca, let's go! We need to catch up!"
"I'm sorry! My lungs the not are duh made for running!" panted Eca.
Izaya sighed. He then looked at the walls. "Randall… I have an idea!"
000
Ashley quickly ran into another corner. Fed up with running, she sat down.
"Sheesh, why did Nihilego make another running-based challenge?!" she muttered.
She sighed.
CRASH!
Ashley was astonished to find Randall, Ace? And Izaya in front of her.
"Wha?! How did you find me?!" she asked.
Randall smirked. "Izaya suggested that Eca should break the mirror walls with his head!"
"Duhhhh, I see birdies!" moaned Eca hands clutching his head.
"He's still woozy… but don't worry, his head is empty" assured Izaya.
Ashley frowned. "I'll… just go… I need to find the exit!"
"Come with us, with Eca's hardhead, we can go anywhere!" said Randall.
A stalactite fell nearby Randall.
"Or maybe not… scramble!" yelled Randall.
"We shouldn't have sang!" moaned Izaya flying off.
000
Crimson, Meowzer, Poppy and Junior all ran out the exit.
"Outside sweet outside, we finally found you!" praised Crimson kissing the ground.
Poppy jumped up and down then clapped her hands. "Let's do that again!"
Meowzer rolled her eyes. "Poppy, we are not running away from Septh again! He's crazy!"
"But Comf, Icy and Ashley are still in there with Septh!" pointed out Crimson.
Junior let out a deep sigh.
"What Junior meant to say was… we should be more worried of Icy's doppelganger!" translated Poppy.
"You can understand sighs?" said Meowzer raising a brow.
Poppy nodded. "And you? What happened to your weed talk?"
Meowzer suddenly gasped.
000
"I lost my mellow… I'm going to crack!" groaned Meowzer.
000
Icy and the mirror contestants were all roaming around the cave, conversing with each other.
"So Icy, what kind of Pokemon is Junior?" asked Pop eagerly.
Icy smiled. "He may be silent but he's a good companion!"
Pop blushed. "He sounds like a normal guy… that's my type!"
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Can you guys shut up? I need my rest!"
Icy swallowed her saliva. "Elsa, why are you always tired?"
"When you're siblings with a hyperactive dumbo, you would also filled the same!" grumbled Elsa.
"Don't mind her, when she's tired, she may be a grouch!" explained Roy walking with Smirk.
Smirk smirked.
"I'm not a grouch!" whined Elsa.
Icy sighed. "This is going to be a long day…"
000
Comf floated around the cave. She frowned as she saw a bright light.
"The exit…" she muttered.
000
Juvia and Luther continued their journey in the cave. Their journey abruptly stopped after Luther noticed something on the ground. Alex was lying unconscious next to Breon. Juvia floated next to Breon.
She then gasped. "That…"
Breon was on the ground clutching a beheaded doll.
Luther frowned. "It was Breon all along…"
Juvia shook her head. "There's no way that's possible!"
"You're right… Breon is a nice guy!" said Luther nervously.
"Right?"
000
Ashley and Comf reached the finish line at the same time with Eca on their tail.
"Okay… only two remains for the Guzzlords while six for the Nihilegoes!" declared Guzzlord smirking.
Nihilego frowned. "There's no way you would win… Never again…"
000
A young Nihilego and the other Ultra Beasts met up in the kitchen.
"Nihi, shall we begin?" asked Celes.
Nihi nodded sheepishly. "I guess…"
"Goody!" remarked Pheramosa. "Now, the two Ultra Beasts who receive the shortest straws gets to be the first Ultra Beasts to host a Total Pokemon Show!"
Kartana pouted. "Why can't we participate in a Hunger Games where winner gets to host?!"
Celes crossed her arms. "Because! We're brethren, we can't just betray each other!"
Guzzlord yawned. "Okay, let's just get this started"
"Heck yeah!" said Buzzwole clenching his fits.
"Okay, pick one straw!" requested Celes.
000
Nihilego eyed Pheramosa's hand as she gripped on the straws. Swallowing her pride, she grabbed a straw.
She closed her eyes. When she opened it, she was greeted by the surprised faces of the others. "Nihi… you're the co-host!" announced Xurkitree smiling.
Pheramosa frowned. "My only chance to host… down the drain!"
Buzzwole patted Pheramosa's back. "In my heart… you'll always be the host!"
Pheramosa smiled. "Later… let's go to my room"
Buzzwole blushed as he scratched his head. "Okay!"
Nihilego was in a state of shock when she spoke up. "How about the host?"
"Guzzlord!" answered Celes.
"Wha…?"
"He won the whole game… you're just the co-host!" answered Celes.
Guzzlord's loud laugh covered their home. His boisteorous voice… she hated it. Nihilego hated his laugh… she hated his habits… but most off all… she hates Guzzlord.
000
Izaya and Randall both sped out of the cave.
"I guess the Nihilegoes are catching up!" announced Guzzlord.
"Nihilego, you must be hap-" Guzzlord started as he turned to Nihilego. Nihilego was crying. Tears flowing out of her eyes. Guzzlord frowned. "Nihi…"
Icy and the other mirror contestants all exited the cave. Seconds later, Septh floated out.
"The… Guzzlords win" said Guzzlord half-heartedly.
Nihilego frowned. "Um… it's time for the next challenge"
Nihilego snapped her fingers/feelers and suddenly, a wormhole appeared out of nowhere with the remaining contestants and mirror contestants dropping.
Breon regained consciousness after the drop. "What the… what happened?" He sat up to find… the doll that Juvia lost laying on his stomach.
Breon's eyes bugged out. He picked the beheaded doll then threw it away.
000
"Did I do that?!" asked Breon, left eye twitching.
000
Alex rubbed his skull. "My head hurts"
000
Nihilego led the group to the fields where two tables where located with eight chairs each. A podium was in the middle for Nihilego. A large chair was behind it.
Nihilego took the stand then smiled. "Contestants, Nihilegoes will be on my left while the Guzzlords will be on my right!"
Guzzlord gave the Ultra Beast a sympathetic look. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Nihilego replied by giving him an "I'm feeling shitty but I decided to smile" look. Guzzlord gulped as the contestants went to their assigned seats.
Crimson raised her hand. "Umm… what will be our challenge today… and who are they?" asked Crimson pointing at the mirror contestants seated on the bleachers.
Nihilego smiled. "That's your mirror counterparts… they'll be essential for the second challenge!"
"Kindly elaborate what you mean!" requested Izaya eyeing Ace with discomfort.
"Well… they're sort of, your lifeline!" answered Nihilego.
"Lifeline?" said Comf confused.
"Well… our second challenge will be a… "Get To Know Each Other Quiz Show!" explained Nihilego.
Septh scowled. "Just get to the point already!"
Comf sighed as she shook her head.
"Umm… okay, your mirror counterpart can help you with a question that you can't answer!" continued Nihilego.
Ace frowned. "But… Luther and Meowzer doesn't have mirror counterparts… while Clay's is here!"
"Clay's counterpart can help them both!" explained Nihilego.
The Timburr sitting on the bleachers smirked. "The name's Yalc, I hope to be of service to you two!"
Luther flinched while Meowzer's eye twitched.
"Okay, let's begin!" declared Nihilego. "And oh! Before I can you forget, there is a buzzer for each contestant, press it if you can answer the question!"
000
Yalc scowled at the camera. "All of them are ding-a-lings, all of them!"
000
"I dunno if I can focus… Breon might be doing something shady" sighed Luther.
000
Comf frowned. "Septh is hiding something from me… I know it!"
000
Nihilegoes picked the topmost card on the stack then read its content. "Who among you… 'My Little Ponyta'?"
"Clay?" answered Luther unsure.
"Comf?" answered Breon.
Crimson pressed her buzzer. "Luther!"
Luther frowned. "I can't waste my time watching kiddy shows when I can just invent!"
Randall pressed his buzzer. "Poppy!"
"And that's correct!" replied Nihilego smirked.
Poppy snickered. "The world is conspiring against me… it's wonderful!"
000
Nasty Nihilegoes-1
Greedy Guzzlords-0
000
"Okay, question number two… who among you hasn't told their true sexuality yet? There are three answers for this question!" read Nihilego.
Poppy pressed her buzzer. "I'm bisexual while Meowzer is also a bisexual!"
Meowzer blushed. "Stop that… it's making me… feel weird!"
"Okay, who's the third one?" asked Nihilego.
Crimson pressed her button. "Is Comf a lesbian?"
"Hell no!"
"Is Izaya gay?" answered Alex.
"Hey!"
BUZZ
"I'm gay!" they all heard.
They all found Randall who pressed his buzzer. Crimson gasped, Poppy smirked while Junior eyed his fellow evolution line nonchalantly.
000
Randall banged his head on the wall. "My sexuality is not funny! It's… not funny…"
000
Poppy snickered. "The world has more hot gays than hot straight people!" Her eyes suddenly twinkled. "More possibilities for me then!"
000
Crimson blushed. "Randall is so hot… even after he admitted he was gay!"
000
Nasty Nihilegoes-2
Greedy Guzzlords-2
000
"Third question, who among you has an anger problem? Six answers for this question!"
Before anyone can react, Poppy pressed her buzzer. "Ashley, Randall, Septh, Breon, Izaya and Meowzer when she's suffering from weed withdrawal!"
Nihilego eyed the seal in disbelief then looked at the card. "Um… that's all correct!"
000
Nasty Nihilegoes-2
Greedy Guzzlords-7
000
"Okay… who among you gambles? Four answers for this one!" read Nihilegoes.
Izaya smirked as he pressed his buzzer. "Juvia and I gamble!"
"Okay, two left!" announced Nihilego.
"Can I use my lifeline?" asked Icy nervously.
"Okay! Yci, give Icy advice!" ordered Nihilego.
Yci smirked as she pounced on Icy.
"Ouch! Not the kimono!" shrieked Icy.
Luther raised his hand. "Will she be okay?"
"Don't worry, wounds heal!" assured Nihilego.
Icy whimpered as Yci continued to dominate her.
Ace pressed the button. "Ashley and I… but it's by accident!"
Ashley's face turned red in embarrassment. "Ace… it wasn't-"
"Okay, those were correct! So… four points for the Nihilegoes!"
000
Nasty Nihilegoes-6
Greedy Guzzlords-7
000
Septh smiled at the destruction Yci was inflicting Icy. He was… enjoying it… no… why? He shook his head. His eyes returned to normal again.
He frowned. "He was back"
000
Ace raised his hand. "Um… I don't wish to be a burden but what about the Guzzlord's advantage?"
"You waited four questions just to ask this!" scoffed Nihilego. "Easy! I replaced one of you with a mirror counterpart during the quiz!"
Icy, who was now battered and bruised, frowned. "What do you mean?"
"One of you was replaced! The Guzzlord's advantage is that they get a five minute head start to guess who the mirror counterpart among their team is!"
"That's a large headstart!" pointed out Ace.
"That's the point!" explained Nihilego.
Randall frowned. Nihilego made him admit his sexuality for nothing. The real challenge was just beginning.
000
The Guzzlord began the challenge as they formed as circle.
"Okay, our five-minute headstart is starting so… who is the mirror counterpart?" asked Ashley.
"Well… Meowzer is out!" pointed out Crimson.
"Yeah… so that leaves the seven of us!" said Septh.
Comf took one step away from Septh.
Septh frowned upon noticing Comf's strange behavior. "Comf… what's wrong?"
Comf shook her head. "Everything… is fine"
Septh frowned at Comf's fake smile. What was she hiding?
DING
"What?! I thought I sang earlier!" protested Comf.
"Well… I want a song that's not a sucky as the earlier one!"
Izaya and Randall both crossed their arms then frowned.
[Author's Note: Song Number Two! It's very mellow and it has a peaceful vibe to it! It's not anymore a solo with background singers… it's now a song involving everyone! It shows everyone's true side! It's entitled "Façade"]
Septh: Girl, I don't know what's wrong
I hope you'll explain it in song
Is it me or… me?
Comf: Sorry, but I'm not in the zone
I can't talk to you even by phone
It's not you… it's me
Septh and Comf: What… am I thinking?
The boat… is sinking!
Septh: The truth is hiding…
Comf: And all I know (All we know)
Septh: And all she knows (All I know)
Both: Is that… I'm hiding from you!
Breon sat on his chair looking at the ground.
Breon: It's not just them who has problems…
Breon: If only they could see them…
Breon: But is it just me?
Luther: Bro, don't be worried
You have done a lot of good deeds
Don't cry
Breon: Oh I hope..
Luther: And all you know (All I know)
Breon: All I know (All you know)
Breon: Is that… I hate this show!
Izaya smiled at Juvia who smiled back.
Juvia: Ooh, I have many to tell you…
But woe, I don't know what to do
Izaya: Just tell me…
Then you can see…
Randall: Myself, I can't see it
So guys, just be it
So I'll be… me….
Izaya, Randall and Juvia: Why?
Do we say goodbye?
And hide behind a façade!
Comf: And you'll know once you get there
Septh: My love's not for you to share
Comf: But why… did you stop?
Septh: What do you mean?
Breon, Luther, Septh and Comf: You said you'll always be there
But when I get there, you were where?
Hiding away… behind a façade
Randall: I'm sorry if I have flaws
Izaya: I'm sorry if I ran away
Izaya: Away from you
Nearer to death
A brand new end… behind the shade…
Juvia: But…
Breon: All…
Luther: I want…
Comf: Is…
Septh: Love…
Nihilego clapped as the song ended. "That was beautiful!"
Meowzer smirked. "While they were singing… we found the culprit… it was Ashley, end of story!"
Ashley? yawned tiredly. "Good… I was getting more tired!"
"Okay, that means the Nihilegoes go to elimination… again!" declared Nihilego frowning.
000
Nihilego filed her tentacles. "My team needs to win challenges for once! But… that songs changes everything"
000
Septh smiled. "Comf… all I need is love"
000
The Nihilegoes barring Breon, Juvia and Luther all met up in the kitchen to plan for the upcoming elimination.
Izaya frowned. "Are still booting Breon off? I feel pity for him… and he's not as annoying as Meowzer, Poppy and Ashley!"
Ace pouted. "Ashley's not annoying, she's just hyperactive!"
"Shut up… I'm thinking!" spat Randall.
"So… Fireface, are you ready to break you alliance?" scoffed Alex.
Randall gritted his teeth.
000
"He's going down!" grumbled Randall.
000
Alex clenched his fists. "Randall is going down!"
000
Izaya frowned. "I'm unsure on who's going home… it's either of the two or Breon"
000
Breon laid on his bed, contemplating about his actions inside Reflection Cave. He thought about the bullies he frightened. Was it really alright for him to threaten stronger Pokemon? Deep inside his heart, he remembered a Charjabug, a passive one walking around the halls of the school with no care.
000
A Charjabug stopped to drink water from the drinking fountain, only for someone to push him towards it. The Charjabug felt his head then noticed it was bleeding. He turned to find a Mienfoo, smirking.
"Maya…" he muttered.
Quickly, we waddled away.
000
It was Charjabug's birthday. His mother, a Vikavolt, baked a cake for him. It was chocolate: his favorite. Sitting down, he smiled. At least, someone cared for him.
SPLAT
Someone pushed his face to the cake. Tears flowed out of his eyes. He turned around, face covered with frosting, to find Mach the Machoke and Maya, his girlfriend.
"Not so strong without your mommy!" teased Mach.
"Wah! I'm Breon and I can't live without my mommy!" said Maya impersonating Breon.
Breon frowned. "Mommy…"
000
Breon, now a Vikavolt, was sent to the guidance counselor for the umpteenth time. Playing with electricity, he sat with his mother, who was frowning.
"Breon… why did you do it?" asked the Vikavolt.
"They started it!" moaned Breon.
"Breon…"
The air weighed thicker in the room as the tension rose. Breon looked down at the floor, smirking, he finally got back at the bullies.
000
Breon continued to cry. "I've turned to a monster!" he wailed thinking of the tattered cloth that used to be a doll. "Mom… I failed you"
000
Comf continued to knock on Septh's room but he won't answer.
"Septh… please answer"
"NOOO!"
"If you don't… Nihilego might force us into a parody of 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman'?!"
Reluctantly, Septh opened the door. "What do you want?!"
000
Five minutes remained before the upcoming elimination. Luther and Juvia both rested in Clay's vacant room.
Luther sighed. "I feel… that we can't make origamis later"
"Don't worry! I'm not voting for Breon!" assured Juvia.
Luther smiled a faint smile. "I guess…"
Juvia patted him on the back. "I'm trusting the Izaya won't vote for him either!"
"Nihilegoes, please head outside for your elimination!" they heard from outside.
"And so it begins…" muttered Juvia.
000
"I know I'm targeting Breon but Alex gets my vote for today!" declared Randall.
000
"Randall" said Alex.
000
"I'm still voting for Breon… Randall told me!" said Ace.
000
"I'm going with… Ace!" said Juvia.
000
Luther frowned at the camera.
000
"Okay Nihilegoes, welcome to your second elimination!" announced Nihilego.
The elimination had a gloomy vibe compared to last elimination's. The team all sighed.
"Goths… okay, Juvia and Izaya are both safe!" declared Nihilego as she threw two Poffins at the two.
"The rest have votes!" continued Nihilego.
Luther looked down at the ground. Breon avoided everyone's eyes. Alex and Randall glared at each other. While Ace frowned.
"Ace, Randall and Alex are all safe!"
Luther and Breon both remained. Juvia frowned, why was her two friends on the chopping block?
"And the one leaving is…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Me…"
Everyone turned to find Breon crying. "I'm out… I voted for myself"
The group barring for a few all showed surprised faces.
"Okay… it's time for you to go…" frowned Nihilego.
000
"I guess this is my last stand… I'm sorry Juvia and Luther for betraying your trust… I hope either of you win… that's all" cried Breon.
Izaya frowned. "Breon leaves… I voted for Luther… I'm sorry Juvia"
000
Breon was now in the cannon.
"Um… why didn't Clay use this to leave?" asked Breon nervously.
"Well… we didn't expect him to eat the marshmallow!" replied Nihilego.
Breon sighed. "Okay… fire!"
Nihilego nodded then lit the cannon sending Breon to the Ultra Sky.
000
"I hate to admit it… Luther and Breon tied… but the latter quit so… I must follow his wishes" explained Nihilego.
000
Nihilego went back to her room then checked her laptop.
"It's Xurkitree's birthday next week!" she read out loud. "Ooh… I have a plan for that"
She continued to browse her laptop before noticing an article. "Local legendary, Marshadow, missing after passing through an Ultra Wormhole!" she read.
Her eyes widened. "Pheramosa and Buzzwole… they made up then kidnapped someone!"
000
That ends this chapter! Breon is out… I liked his character but sadly… he had to go. Randall did some horrible things after forming an alliance. Septh brutally murdered Juvia's doll. Icy was assaulted by her counterpart. What will happen next on TOTAL… POKEMON… ULTRA SPACE!?
I had a reference to Juniorlockz fanfiction soo… I hope you don't mind!
000
Statistics:
Nihilegoes: Juvia-Izaya-Randall-Luther-Alex-Ace
Guzzlords: Meowzer-Poppy-Septh-Comf-Junior-Ashley-Icy-Crimson
Eliminated: Clay-Breon
The votes were all revealed so I don't have to elaborate that!
000
Trivia: I had a hard time on who to pick as the Pokemon out for this episode. I limited the choices to Breon, Septh and Icy but in the end, I decided to eliminate Breon. Okay, there is a mirror competition that is just like Total Pokemon Ultra Space. Luther and Meowzer's counterparts were both booted in that contest.
Next Chapter: It's Xurkitree's birthday! A challenge was held, dedicated to him. New friendships were formed, alliances were formed, and romances are revealed. In the end, a fate worse than elimination meets the loser.
And also, I have poll in my profile, please vote your bet on who will win. Please review on your favorite characters also!
Breon: Vote or I'll-
Breon: Nevermind… I don't feel like it
