MARK DIVINE

ZORUA - MALE - 19 YEARS OF AGE

A Zorua was sitting down outside. In a beautiful neighborhood area, on the driveway of what can only be assumed as his home. He was sitting against the garage door, which was brown, and the driveway itself was a bright gray.

The Zorua was twiddling around what seemed like a pen in his right paw, moving it around, tossing it up a couple of times and catching it.

After about a minute of this absolute nothing, the mon finally looked up and acknowledged the camera, grinning. He tossed the pen up high and caught it with his mouth, before grabbing it with his paw, "Hello there. My name is Mark, age 19. I just so happened to notice that you were auditioning for your show~."

"Well, I happen to be interested in joining said show... Total Poke-Drama, yes?"

"Let me just cut to the chase," He sets the pencil down beside his form, a smirk growing, "I'd be a perfect candidate."

"I have the strategic ability to make it far. A game like total poke-drama I fair must be similar enough to a game of chess. Something I'm excellent at."

"Emotions aren't my forte, so I have the willpower inside to make bold moves, moving the pieces in my favor."

"And by the time the summers over, I'll be standing tall."

"Checkmate."

"If you're looking for someone cunning and interesting, then you should look no further than me. My skills in deception and strategy are far more capable than any others."

"So, cast me, and you'll be casting a winner. A winner with a resume that stands longer than the length of any ocean. A resume filled with intense betrayal's, bold blindsides, and flawless manipulation."

"Put me on total poke-drama."

"Make me your winner."

"A guy with a strategic mind. He has some fair points in why we should cast him," Quarle starts, "A bit cocky though if you'd ask me."

"He's bold and strong on manipulation. He'd play socially more than physically, and a social player is always much more fun than a physical one~" Rebecca puts in her input, chuckling, "He should definitely be in darling~."

"At least I can agree with you there. He'd shake up the cast a good deal."

"Plus, he knows how to play chess. Already leagues above most of the cast."

"Er... That's one of your qualifications for him? That he knows how to play chess?"

"Most geniuses do."

"Even someone with a low IQ can learn how to play chess, Rebecca."

"Well, I have a high IQ, yet I don't know how~" Rebecca points out all smug-like.

"What's your IQ?"

"83 out of 100!"

Quarle takes in a sharp breath at that, "You know it's... Oh, nevermind," Quarle laughs it off a bit, "Let's just get his stereotype."

"No no, what were you gonna say?"

"It's not out of 100! It goes so much higher than that!"

"Well, what's your IQ, if you don't mind me asking?"

"117!"

"I... You're joking!"

"Just give me his stereotype!"

"You're fucking joking! That's hilarious! No one has an IQ as high as that, dumbass!"

"Just give me the stereotype so we can be done with this conversation."

"Fine fine, since you're clearly lying about your IQ... His stereotype is 'The Chess Master.'"

"Knowing your IQ, these stereotypes are starting to make a more sense, Rebecca."

HANNAH LAYTON

FURRET - FEMALE - 18 YEARS OF AGE

A Furret is lying down on the floor of a bedroom. The room around her definitely looks... Interesting. The walls are painted into the design of a temple, Aztec, and the whole place just has this weird Aztec temple vibe. The floors, while clearly carpet, are in the design of ancient stone and vines. The bed has this large once more, elder yellow stone and vine painting along its frame, and the comforter is a design of a bunch of snakes, with the pillows a design of spikes.

The Furret is also wearing a brown cap akin to Indiana Jones, looking at the camera, "Hello adventurers! My name is Hannah Layton, age 18, and I seek further adventure!"

"My little town has gotten boring, there's never anything interesting to explore anymore! So, fresh out of high school, I want a new place to explore! And something like a reality show with a special set, exploring would be a blast in there!"

"So, that's why I wanna join! I want to get the thrill of exploration, my curious nature is tingling, and I've been craving to find a new secret for months!"

The Furret jumps up on her feet, standing tall with a broad smile, "Put me on your show! I'll explore every corner of wherever it takes place, I'll find every secret you hide, every hidden passageway, everything!"

"And the further I get in the game, the more I'll get to explore and find!"

"Though don't fault me if I make a mistake and break something, that's just me making sure absolutely everything has been explored!"

"Cast me! I've been craving a new adventure for so so so long!"

"Well, look at that! Someone who's craving adventure, excited to be on, exploration, darling she seems like a perfect fit!" Rebecca remarks loudly, "She has to be in! Her personality, the fans would love her!"

"The fans might love her, you can never predict who the fans will and won't like."

"THE FANS WILL LOVE HER!" Rebecca repeats loudly, "Come on, adventuring type, others love those type of mons!"

"Some others do. Rebecca, people have different tastes. I guess you can't see that with your 83 IQ."

"Stop talking about that!" Rebecca turns, glaring harshly at Quarle... The Alolan Ninetales growls a little, her fangs showing.

"Pfft, fine fine, you don't have to threaten me. I'll stop talking about your IQ as soon as you stop calling me your assistant."

"But that's what you are! My assistant!"

"No no no, I'm your co-host. Very different things, Rebecca. Now, call me your co-host, and I'll stop talking about your low IQ."

Rebecca growls a bit more... "Fine... Co-Host. Let's just get her stereotype out."

"Got it, what did you have in mind?"

"'The Adventurer.'"

"Oh my goodness, that's so clever! I never would've thought of that!" Quarle rolls his eyes as he starts typing it in.

"See? Maybe I'm just a bit smarter than you think~."

TAYLA TRESLIN

EMOLGA - FEMALE - 21 YEARS OF AGE

The scene starts in a large bouncy-castle. A variation of orange, red, yellow, and green are seen throughout the large bouncy-castle, and at a sharp corner, an Emolga suddenly leaps and glides up against the corner, dropping against the side of it and pinning herself to the wall.

The Emolga looks at the camera, taking a deep breath, "Shh... Quiet... Super Spy Tayla Treslin is trying to stay hidden..."

Back around the corner, a Wartortle is walking around, looking through some of the obstacles... The Emolga peaks around the corner to get a look at him...

"That's the seeker, we're hiding from him..." She sighs out lowly, "I should introduce myself a bit more... As I said, I'm Super Spy Tayla Treslin," She reveals in a whisper, "Age 21."

"FOUND YOU!" Tayla quickly looks over the corner and sees the Wartortle has found a Pikachu hiding under a bouncy-bridge. The Pikachu giggles it off and stands up.

"Shoot, he's not alone anymore..." Tayla mutters, turning back to the camera.

"I'm the master of stealth, and I ride alone as much as I possibly can. I'm a solo Emolga."

She peeks around the corner, seeing the Pikachu and the Wartortle are getting closer.

She doesn't hesitate, suddenly jumping up twice, the second time propelling herself up to the top of the bouncy castle, where she clings onto to the ceiling.

The Wartortle and Pikachu dash around the corner and pass the camera, seemingly not noticing Tayla up there...

The Emolga waits a minute or so before gliding down, grabbing the camera and starting to dash where the Wartortle and Pikachu had just come from. She slides under the bridge and hunkers down, staring at the camera, "I'd be a great addition to total poke-drama. I can hide in the shadows, and strike when my foes least expect it..."

"I've learned all of my stealth tactics from only the best. Umbreon James Moon. Through his 79 famous movies, of course."

"Put me in! I'd be just a good a spy, and I'd be able to further prove myse-"

"GOT YOU TAYLA!"

Tayla turns around, seeing the Wartortle tagging her back from behind. She lets out a loud whine, "Aww, come on, I was doing a thing!"

She laughs it off though, standing up to join her friends, turning off the camera.

Rebecca nods some, "So, inspired by great films I see! She's another perfect candidate!"

"I don't know, I feel like she's relying too much on the spy stuff. Not to mention, those James Moon movies are always the same, there's very little difference between them."

"I say she's in! She's gotta be!"

"And I know I won't be able to make a dent in your decision at this point," Quarle sighs out, "Why is it that you want her in so much?"

"She's a fun personality, something we may already have a lot of, but adding another fun personality in just makes things so much better for the show!"

"Gotcha."

"She's super into this spy stuff, and it'd be fun to see how she plays that part out in the game!"

"Alrighty then, well since she's definitely in, that means we only have one last mon to cast."

"And one last audition tape."

"Right, there's only one left."

"So no matter what, they gotta be in!"

"Or we can just cast the Yamper from be-"

"They gotta be in! Unless they're boring, of course."

"Okay okay, well, before we get to that, what's Tayla's stereotype?"

"She practically said it herself! 'The Super Spy!'"

"At least you're staying consistent."

Tayla Treslin - The Super Spy

XAVIER RILEY

SYLVEON - MALE - 27 YEARS OF AGE

Pink.

Pink everywhere.

Pink bed comforter on pink sheets with pink pillows, camera pointing down to highlight all this pink, but also on the bed was a fair bit of white.

That white came from the fur of a plus size Sylveon, the large mon lying down with one of his ribbons holding the camera up. Another ribbon gives a wave to the camera, "Hello there! My name is Xavier Riley, 27 years old, and I'm auditioning for total poke-drama!"

"Though, I'm not exactly auditioning for what most everyone else is probably auditioning for, winning the cash prize at the end. While that's a nice prize if I do win, I'm actually auditioning for another reason."

"I'm looking for a mate!"

"Where I live, I've basically tapped all the other gay or bi men around her dry. I've had relationships with everyone here, which isn't saying much as there aren't many other men that like other men around here. They've all failed though, every single relationship!"

"I won't say if they failed because of me or not though, the jury's still out on that one. But the reputation I have around town is that I've ruined those relationships."

"But yeah, I'm joining to hopefully find the lover of my dreams! When I find him, I'll treat him so so so right!"

"I know a lot about relationships, and I've done a lot of things for other people throughout my life, thanks to my mom and... My dad."

"I don't really like my dad anymore, he started abusing me when I was a teen and focused more on school instead of what he wanted me to focus on. I don't care for him anymore."

"But I still really love my mom!"

"Oh boy this is really messy, I hope you don't reject me just because I'm just kinda talking all around the place and getting distracted constantly!"

"But yeah, let me join so I can find the love of my life, and he can find the love of his!"

"Thank you~!"

"I'm already not getting the best of vibes from him."

"What do you mean?" Rebecca questions, "He seems like a good guy to put in!"

"A bunch of failed relationships, only looking for a mate, doesn't really care about the cash prize, he doesn't seem like he'd be too invested in the game."

"Oh, if he finds his mate, he'll be hellbent on protecting him from elimination I think! So then yeah, he'll get interested!"

"And if he doesn't find his mate?"

"Well then, uh..."

"Yeeeees?"

"Just put him in damnit, cause I said so!"

"You really don't want that Yamper, huh?"

"I don't!"

Quarle sighs, "Fine... What's his stereotype?"

"'The Gayest!'"

"Very descriptive."

Xavier Riley - The Gayest

"So..." Quarle looks over the folder that has all 16 audition tapes, "We have our cast. A bunch of freaks and weirdos."

"A bunch of pokemon who are perfect for this season!" Rebecca cheers, "We're gonna be kicking off total poke-drama big! The theme will work for them!"

"What is the theme, by the way?" Quarle questions with a tilt of his head, "I haven't been told yet."

"Oh, you haven't?" Rebecca turns around, the Alolan Ninetales walking past the camera, "The theme has been in the room with us this whole time."

"Uh... Do you mean-"

"Yes," Rebecca turns the camera around as Quarle stands up and walks over too.

The Alolan Ninetales and Dewott continue walking forward toward some sort of significant mask thing on a table.

The Dewott picks it up, looking it over... "TVW Headgear?"

"Traversing Virtual Worlds," Rebecca replies, looking over the VR headset closer, "It's new virtual reality hardware that works with the brain. It'll put the body in an unconscious state as the mind is transferred into a virtual world. Where there will be no limits on what can be done."

"The players will be kept in an unconscious state, constantly supervised by medical personnel, hooked up to medical equipment similar to that of what a coma patient is hooked up to."

"Everything will-" Rebecca stops talking as Quarle turns the headset around, looking at the back.

He blinks.

Then he speaks, "Yep. Cue card. Not surprised."

"Just let me finish!" Rebecca grabs the headset and twists it back around, "Everything will run as its meant to be, with many dangers in the virtual world that the players will get to experience, but they will remain safe throughout."

"This headset has gone through extensive testing to make sure it is safe for all users. The world we will transport our contestants into has also been tested for safety extensively. There's guaranteed confirmation that those who suffer from heart problems will also remain safe outside of the gear."

"Everything has been tested."

"Everything will work."

"And most importantly of all, everything will be safe for our 16 contestants."

"As they traverse the virtual world... Of Total Poke-Drama."

AND THERE WE HAVE IT! 16 CONTESTANTS ARE IN, AND WE HAVE OUR THEME!
