New chapter, not gonna waste your time so onto the story!
"Last time on Pokemon Drama Island." Latios said without much enthusiasm. "The contestants competed in a classic game of capture the flag. During the match, I was able to capture Rotom and exact my revenge on him. Oh that was sweet. Meanwhile, Zoroark was able to stop Magneton multiple times by exploiting Magneton's voice command system and tried to get the Ho-Oh's flag held by Cloyster. The Lugias flag was blocked with Light Screens and Reflects made by Sigilyph, which stopped many of the Ho-Ohs from getting it. In the near end, Spiritomb created a plan which succeeded, and helped the Ho-Ohs finally win a challenge. In the Lugias first ever campfire ceremony, it was down to Rotom and Sigilyph. Sigilyph was sent home instead of Rotom, much to my disappointment, as he failed to protect the flag. Today, the campers get to risk it all or play it safe in our glitziest challenge yet. Who will strike big and who will crap out? Find out on, Pokemon. Drama. Island."

All of the campers were standing in front of a shack waiting for Latias. She had told them to get up and arrive here at 7 AM, and most of them were very tired. It was a tall, white rectangular building. A red roof topped it with windows underneath it. After 30 minutes, Latias floated by with a happy smile on her face, as opposed to everyone else's tired and annoyed ones, save a few.
"Welcome campers, to our new facility we call the Challenge Shack!"
"Was it really necessary to wake us up this early just to show us a crummy building?" Stunfisk droned from the back.
Latias just glared at Stunfisk before continuing. "Since SOMEONE is very impatient, I'll just tell you all that this building will be used for some challenges that require special needs or has to be held indoors."
Latias opened the door, leading into the pitch-black building. "Everyone, please step inside."
One-by-one, all of the Pokemon filed in, Latias closing the door behind her. It was hard to see, even with Magmar, Lampent and Rotom giving off light with their bodies. A couple of silhouettes were seen, but no one could tell what they were.
Latias flipped on the lights. The room became so bright that everyone had to shield themselves from the light. When they opened their eyes, their jaws dropped. Slot machines were lined up on the side of the room, in the center was a card flip table, and in the back, a craps table, a blackjack table and a roulette wheel were lined up horizontally.
Latias smiled, "Welcome to our Game Corner. For today's challenge, you'll be trying to see how much money your team can make by gambling. We have all the traditional casino games along with some others. You all will receive a coin case with 500 coins and get to play for 12 hours, the team with the most money by the end of the day gets invincibility."
She continued, "I'll be keeping track of how much money each team makes. You'll come to me with whatever amount you've won and I'll add it to the team's total. Make sure you leave yourself with some however as you are not allowed to take back coins that has been turned in. If you lose all the money you have, you can borrow some from your teammates but that's it."
"Wait, where are all the dealers for the tables?" Zoroark asked, after looking around a bit.
"I was getting to that." Latias said with a frown. "Since I'm keeping track of cash, I got Latios and a couple of college friends to help out today. Come in guys!"
A door in the back opened to reveal Latios, and three other Pokemon unknown to the contestants. The first three were floating, one was blue, one was pink and the other was yellow. Each one of them had a red jewel on their foreheads and two tails. "Everyone, say hi to Azelf, Mesperit, and Uxie. They, along with Latios, will be supervising the table games today." The campers gave a silent wave to the guests.
"Not a talkative bunch are they?" Mesperit remarked.
"You'd be surprised." Latias said, giving a certain contestant glares.
Latias noticed the eager looks the contestants were giving her, "Well, I see all of you guys are ready. If so, go!" The contestants scattered off to the various games that were present, eager to win big.
000
Absol: Hmm, I actually might do well this challenge due to my ability. But, who knows, fate might throw a curveball, like that challenge…
000
Spiritomb and Cloyster were playing at a card-flip table along with Blitzle, Klink and Spinarak where Azelf was the dealer.
"Place your bets." Azelf said, placing a card face down on the table.
"Level 4, 50 coins."
"Pikachu, 75 coins."
"Jigglypuff Level 3, 20 coins."
Spiritomb looked at the bets made, "Oddish Level 2, 250 coins."
"I shall duplicate the same action!" Cloyster shouted.
Azelf smirked, "You two are going big I see, very well. And the card is…" He flipped the card over. "Well, well, Oddish Level 2. Congrats, here are your winnings." He handed the two a bunch of coins which they just smirked at.
000
Spiritomb: Me and Cloyster do play card-flip a lot in our spare time when I'm not thinking of plans. I just so happened to bring an extra deck with me today…
000
The two continued to win coins until their Coin Cases couldn't fit any more, which they decided to turn in all but 500 of their coins to a very surprised Latias.
"Well, I didn't think you guys will pull ahead so quickly. Give me one second." She pulled out Latios's megaphone and spoke into it. "Attention all campers, thanks to Spiritomb and Cloyster, the Ho-Ohs are currently ahead with 99000 coins. Lugias, you'd better catch up!"
Everyone turned their heads to where the announcement came from; it had been a little over a hour after the challenge had started.
000
Bisharp: Something tells me luck didn't have to do with their success.
000
At the craps table, Lampent was about to throw the dice as Zoroark, Zangoose, Bisharp and Sawk watched. Sawk, Lampent and Bisharp put their chips on the "pass" line, while Zangoose and Zoroark put theirs on the "don't pass" line. She rolled the dice, both of them landed as four.
"Hard eight." Uxie said as the dealer.
"How does he know that, his eyes aren't even open!" Zangoose whispered to Sawk.
"I have ears you know." Uxie said as he took a wooden stick and collected the dice, giving Lampent another pair. "If you see me with my eyes open, you're memory will be erased. Would you like to be my next victim?" Zanoogse just looked away.
Lampent was shaking the die. She looked to her up and saw Rotom playing roulette. Unknowingly, the dice slipped out of her hand and fell onto the table.
"Ouch, snake eyes. All of you that put your chips on the "don't pass" line, you win, everyone else loses." Uxie said, taking the chips and the die.
Lampent ignored the groans and left the craps table to go see Rotom. He had already placed his bet on Makuhita, now he was waiting to see where the ball would land. She approached him from behind.
"Hey Rotom."
Rotom glanced behind him in surprise, "Oh, uh, hey Lampent."
"Listen, I need to talk to you about-"
"Green Makuhita." Mesperit shouted. At the table, Schuckle, Persian and Deerling groaned and sighed while Kingdra, Absol and Rotom cheered as Meseprit gave them their chips.
Rotom looked back at Lampent, "Sorry about that, what were you saying?"
"I want to talk to you about what happened during the last elimination."
Rotom froze up, "Uh, yeah, um, about that, I…gotta go for a minute." He floated away quickly out of Lampent's sight.
000
Lampent: It's been kind of awkward between me and Rotom ever since I hugged him after the elimination. My emotions just got the better of me at the time. I like him, but I'm not sure if he feels the same and the way he's acting doesn't help his case.
000
Rotom: Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy that Lampent hugged me and I really like her, I really do! But what she did was so out of the blue that I didn't know how to react. And now, I've distanced myself from her and we've haven't pulled a good prank in days. Might as well talk to her.
000
Latios: Rotom hasn't been pranking me for days, I guess I really did show him whose boss. Yes! *does a fist pump*
000
Meanwhile, Stunfisk was playing in front of a slot machine. He was doing alright, then he saw something on his right that made him shiver: an angry Magmar approaching him.
"Hey, runt. Give me back my coins." She said threateningly, flame coming from her mouth.
"What makes you think I have your coins and how'd you lose them in the first place?"
"I don't know, they keep disappearing whenever I pass you when I go turn them in, so you must be the culprit."
"Why would I bother stealing your coins? I'm doing perfectly fine here."
"Yeah but not as good as three-eyes next to you."
Stunfisk looked to his left, two machines down, Magneton was hitting buttons very quickly, getting the jackpot every time.
Stunfisk looked back at Magmar with a quizzical look on his face, "Seriously?"
000
Stunfisk: The guy reacts in nanoseconds, how am I supposed to compete with that?
000
"He's a machine, I'm an organic life form." Stunfisk said calmly.
"So, what's that supposed to mean?
"Is your tiny brain seriously not processing what I just said or has it not gotten through your thick skull?"
"Are you saying I'm stupid?"
"Yes, but you haven't answered my question."
"Doesn't matter, come here!"
Magmar lunged forward, trying to grab Stunfisk but missed. He grabbed his coin case and bounced away, Magamr in hot pursuit, her flaming tail hitting the seats behind her. Behind them, Spiritomb was listening.
000
Spiritomb: *whistling innocently*
000
At the blackjack table where Latios was the dealer, Rotom was the only one playing. Latios passed him two cards.
"Hit me." Rotom said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." Latios responded.
"I said hit me!"
BAM!
Latios had punched Rotom right in the eye.
"An eye for an eye my friend." Latios said as he dusted off his knuckles. "That was for the boxing glove surprise you gave me a while back."
Clutching his eye, Rotom shouted "That wasn't me! It was Lampent!" He then quickly covered his mouth, eyes wide and a terrified look on his face.
"So you weren't the only one pranking me huh? That makes sense. You and her must be accomplices then. Well, now I have another person to teach a lesson to." Rotom just groaned.
Gardevoir, Serperior, Altaria, Joltik, and Lucario came over and sat down, ready to play a game. Joltik noticed Rotom's black eye, "Hey, you okay there?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Rotom replied in tired tone. "I'm going to go play some slots now." He floated away from the table as Latios began to deal out cards.
000
Rotom: Things have just gone from bad to worse. Sigh…
000
As everyone at the table picked up their cards and Latios flipped one of his cards over, Gardevoir began to hum a little tune. Everyone else ignored it.
"Hit me." Altaira, Lucario and Serperior said simultaneously. Latios gave each one of them a card.
"Hit me again." Serperior said. Latios dealt him another card. Serperior looked at the card, sighed and folded.
"Show your hands." Latios said as he flipped his other card.
Latios had 19, Lucario had 19, Joltik had 18, Altaria had 20. Gardevoir smiled as she put down her cards.
"Blackjack."
Everyone stared, Gardevoir just smiled.
000
Gardevoir: Lucky Chant, apparently it doesn't just prevent critical hits from landing.
000
After 4 hours, the Lugias had turned in 12800 coins while the Ho-Ohs had 20400 coins in. The Ho-Ohs early lead had helped them greatly.
Aron was sitting in front of a slot machine. He was bored looking at numbers spin in front of him and was getting hungry.
"Just a nibble." He thought to himself. "It's not like it'll break down."
He took a bite off the handle and chewed it a little bit. His eyes lit up and took another bite out of the machine and another and another. As he continued to eat, Roserade passed by with a questioning look on her face.
000
Roserade: Besides the machine Aron pretty much devoured, there was one that said "Reserved", one that said "Out of Order", another one had a set of keys in it and some seats were slightly charred. Aren't these machines supposed to be new?
000
Meanwhile, Magmar was still chasing Stunfisk. He quickly turned a corner Magmar hot on his trail. She made her way to the same corner and looked around; Stunfisk was nowhere to be seen. She stormed off in rage. On the floor by the wall, Stunfisk opened an eye. Realizing the coast was clear, he bounced off to the craps table, hoping he wouldn't be noticed.
000
Stunfisk: Camouflage for the win.
000
Stunfisk looked at a clock. It had been six hours, the challenge was halfway over. He checked the electronic scoreboard set up, the Ho-Ohs were still in the lead with 27500 coins, the Lugias only had 19600 coins turned in.
000
Absol was still playing roulette along with Deerling, Zangoose, Lampent, Klink, Kingdra and Cloyster. He was having very good luck so far, as he had won many of the games. Espeon decided to hop on over next to him, he groaned.
"Why are you still following me around?"
"Oh come on, you make it sound like a bad thing."
"It is. It's annoying."
"Just be true to yourself, you know you like me."
"I don't and I won't say any more on the subject."
"So you're admitting it, you do like me."
"How many times do I have to say I don't?"
Everyone else at the roulette table just stared at the two, ignoring where the ball had landed.
"They are so in love." Mesperit said smugly.
"H-how do y-you know?" Deerling asked.
"Simple, I embody emotion and I'm the reason why everyone has emotions. I know love when I see it. By the way, you should try to be a little more forward as well."
"Wh-what do you mean?" Deerling asked, surprised at what Mesperit had said.
"I know you like him, don't try to hide it. Do I have to tell everyone here?" Deerling's eyes widened.
"N-no no no n-no no!"
000
Zangoose: Deerling has a crush? Oh this is going to be hilarious.
000
Deerling: I-I don't like o-others reading m-my mind. P-p-please stay o-out!
000
At the card-flip table, Spiritomb had just left to turn in his coins, leaving Cloyster to continue playing with Blitzle, Perisan, Feebas and Chinchou.
"I chose the weed of the highest level for 100 of my betting items!" He said in his loud and crazy voice.
Azelf groaned, "For the last time, say the card's name correctly!" He shouted as Cloyster put his coins on the Oddish Level 6 spot.
"You get used to it." Persian said, annoyed.
"I wouldn't be so sure, he called Jigglypuff a pink marshmallow, Poliwag a tadpole reject, and don't get me started on what he said about Pikachu." Azelf said crossly.
"He's crazy, you can't really ask for too much." Feebas said.
"It still irks me."
"Believe me; all of us are at some times." Blitzle said, Chinchou nodding in agreement.
"Whatever, I'm flipping the card. And it's...Pikachu Level 1. No one wins. I'll be taking your bets." Azelf said, using his psychic energy to take the chips. "Next card. Now place your bets. Just put your chips down where you want, don't say anything, especially you." Azelf said directing his attention to Cloyster. He just smiled.
000
Cloyster: I think he likes me!
000
Lucario had left the Blackjack table and went to place some slots. He sat on a charred seat and closed his eyes. A wave of calm swept over him as he exhaled. He put in a coin and pulled the lever, eyes still closed. He ignored everything around him, Cloyster's laughs, Stunfisk's screams and Magmar's threats. The only thing he could hear were the slots in front of him spinning. He raised his paw and hit all the buttons quickly. He heard a chime and smirked. He opened his eyes. In the middle row was a cherry, a Pikachu, and a Replay. He looked at the payout, two coins.
000
Lucario: *scorched black* That was unexpected.
000
Behind him, Stunfisk had bounced past where Lucario was, Magmar right behind him, attacking him with Flame Burst. A couple stray shots hit the machines, destroying them. One scorched Lucario. He just sat where he was, unmoving. Next to him, Aron was eating the destroyed machines.
000
Lucario: As was that.
000
There were four hours left in the competition. The Lugias had somehow caught up a bit and had 25100 coins turned in, but the Ho-Ohs were still leading with 30900 coins.
Back at the craps table, Shuckle was about to throw the dice. Sawk, Joltik, Magneton, Kingdra, Altaria and Serperior were waiting on the results.
She threw the dice, one landed as a five, the other a two.
"Natural seven." Uxie called as everyone at the table cheered. As she cheered, Shuckle lost her balance and fell backwards. When she realized this, she ducked back into her shell and landed on Sawk's foot.
"Ouch!"
000
Sawk: Have I really become a pain magnet? I need to talk to the writer about this.
Latias: *outside* No breaking the fourth wall!
Sawk: Sorry!
000
It was Magneton's turn to throw the dice. He picked them up with his magnets.
"BZZT. ACTIVATING CRAPS SIMULATION FUNCTION. SIMULATING BEST THROWING ANGLE AND VELOCITY TO GET SEVEN. BZZT." His pupils flashed for a moment as he floated there. "BZZT. SIMULATION FINISHED. BEST ANGLE AND VELOCITY FOUND. PREPARING TO THROW DIE. BZZT." He threw the die as they bounced around until they stopped.
"Sorry, boxcars." Uxie said as he picked up the die.
"BZZT. EMOTION SEQUENCE ACTIVATED. EMOTION IS ANGER." His eyes became slanted and floated in front of Uxie. "I REQUEST A DO-OVER. BZZT."
Uxie looked up. "I'm sorry but the house limit is three do-overs, all of them spent on that gentleman over there." Uxie pointed at Sawk who was hopping around, clutching his injured foot.
Uxie smirked, "Funny thing is he got snake eyes every single time. Next shooter!"
000
Magneton: BZZT. ACTIVATING ANGER SEQUENCE. BROOKLYN RAGE! BZZT.
000
There were only two hours left in the challenge, Latias made an announcement.
"Attention everyone, I must leave for a little bit. Be right back! Don't do anything stupid, though I seriously doubt it." And with that she walked outside, leaving everyone to continue their activities.
Meanwhile, Stunfisk was still being chased by Magmar. Magmar suddenly stopped.
"Okay enough of this running around!" She shouted.
Stunfisk stopped and looked behind him, "Great, does that mean you won't kill me?"
"No, you're still dead meat; I'm just going to destroy you differently!" She inhaled deeply and held it in.
Stunfisk, realizing what Magmar was about to do, bounced away as fast as he could, screaming "Oh shit!" at the top of his lungs.
Magmar lunged forward, an Overheat attack coming from her mouth. Everyone screamed and ducked as the flames approached them.
When Magmar had finished, the whole place was burnt, even where she was standing. Everyone crawled out from underneath the tables looking around at the debris. The lake guardians poked their heads from behind Latios who had used Protect.
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone turned to see where the scream came from. Latias was floating at the entrance, a shocked and horrified look on her face.
"WHO DID THIS?" She screamed, looking at everyone in the room. Latios gulped, the lake guardians ducked back behind Latios, scared. No one knew what was scarier, Magmar nearly killing them with Overheat, or Latias in her extremely pissed off state.
"No one is fessing up? Alright then. No invincibility for anyone tonight!" Latias screamed. Several contestants gasped. "That's right, anyone is fair game for elimination tonight. The person with the most votes will be forced to leave! Now all of you go to the mess hall, you're dinner is ready."
One by one, all of the Pokemon left the challenge shack, whispering to one another.
"No talking!" Latias shouted, causing some campers to wince.
As the campers left, Latios had a nervous look on his face.
"Crap, she's really pissed this time."
"We've noticed." Azelf whispered.
"Latios! Uxie! Mesperit! Azelf! Get over here!" Latias shouted, causing Latios to flinch.
"Time to face the devil incarnate." Latios said with a shudder. He slowly floated over there, the lake guardians behind him.
"Y-yeah sis?" he asked, scared of what would happen.
"Mind getting the food out for the campers?" Latais said sweetly, a smile on her face.
The four other legendaries just stared in shock.
"Y-yeah, sure thing." Latios responded. He closed his eyes and snapped his fingers. "Done."
"Mind if we go get something to eat? We're kind of hungry to." Azelf said.
"Don't bother, you wouldn't like what I've set out for the campers."
"What you give them?" Mesperit asked.
"You'll see."
At that moment, the sound of glass shattering was heard as something flew out from the mess hall and hit Latias.
"OW!" Latias turned around towards the mess hall. "Watch it bub!" She screamed.
Uxie picked up the item on the ground. "Packaged tofu? Really Latios?"
"It was the only food in the kitchen that isn't raw."
"Don't worry, I'll order us some food." Latias said as she pulled out a cell phone. "Everyone okay with Chinese?" She asked.
000
Bisharp: So we can vote off anyone tonight, this can prove difficult. On one hand, we can vote out someone from the other team due to our numbers, but I feel that there's someone else that deserves to go instead. I'll have to talk to the others about what we're going to do.
000
After Gardevoir and Roserade finished eating, they decided to go to their usual hiding spot to spy on the "alliance". When they got there, they only noticed Bisharp sitting on a rock alone.
"He's alone, maybe we can take this opportunity to talk ask him what's going on." Gardevoir reasoned.
"No, let's wait, maybe the others will show up." Roserade answered.
"I somehow doubt that." Bisharp said behind them.
"Well, who knows maybe they…huh?" Gardevoir and Roserade turned around to see Bisharp, Kingdra and Lucario standing behind them.
"But first I must ask, why have you been spying on us and for how long?" Bisharp asked the two Pokemon in front of them.
000
Meanwhile, Rotom was looking for Lampent. He noticed her about to enter the confessional.
"Hey Lampent! Wait a sec!" He called to her.
Lampent noticed Rotom and floated over. "Heya Rotom, great timing, I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Yeah same here, but why don't you go first?"
"Well, remember how I hugged you during the last elimination?" Rotom nodded. "Well, my body kind of reacted on its own when I heard you were safe."
"Why's that?"
"Well…um…you see…its kinda…" Lampent was fidgeting around. "I like you. I like you a lot." Rotom's eyes widened, a lot.
000
Rotom: I never expected her to confess her feelings like that, now I'm kinda worried about how she's going to take the news that I accidentally snitched her out to Latios.
000
"So, what were you going to say?" Lampent asked Rotom.
"Oh, uh, well I like you too Lampent." Rotom stammered.
"Really? That's great!" Lampent hugged Rotom who returned it.
"I also accidentally told Latios that you've been pranking him as well." Rotom said, nervously.
An awkward silence ran between them.
"You did what?" Lampent asked slightly angry.
"I'm sorry it just kind of slipped!" Rotom said in defense.
"Well isn't that great, now he's going to go after me as well. Sure he might have found out later but I never expected you to tell him!"
"But I said it was a complete accident! I never meant to tell him!"
"Is that why you said you liked me then? So I wouldn't be as angry when you told me?"
"No, I was serious when I said I liked you!"
"I don't believe you and that's the end of it!" Lampent went inside the confessional and slammed the door shut, causing Rotom to wince.
Nearby, Mesperit was eating some lo mein. She had seen and heard the whole conversation.
"Ah, the couple's first fight. They'll make up eventually." She said as she slurped some of her noddles.
"You really are a romantic, aren't you?" Uxie said as he floated over, eating fried rice.
"It's what I do." Mesperit said, floating away.
000
Rotom: Well, I got that off my chest though at a price. I need to make it up her and badly. I could really use some help here!
000
Back with Gardevoir and Roserade, the two were sitting on the beach while the war council members were discussing amongst themselves. Turns out, the Bisharp on the beach was just Zoroark in disguise.
"So what do we do now that we know that they've been spying on us?" asked Zoroark.
"I'm not sure, though I have a couple of questions I want to ask them." Bisharp said.
He turned toward the two females, "So, I ask again, why have you two been spying on us?"
"Because we know you're an alliance trying to vote off other people." Roserade said.
Bisharp's eyes widened for a moment but quickly smiled, "I'm afraid that you've got us all wrong. We aren't an alliance at all."
"Then, why were you plotting to get rid of Sigilyph?" Gardevoir asked.
Bisharp frowned, "I don't really like the word "plotting", it sounds sinister. But, to answer your question, we were only voting for someone who we thought would be a liability to the team. You see, the four of us hold strategy meetings after every challenge. During these meetings we would basically rank everyone here and see how we can get farther in this competition. We try to get the other team to vote off their stronger players, while we try to get rid of the members on our team that aren't as useful if our team loses."
"So you plan on keeping this group of yours until the end?" asked Roserade.
Bisharp shook his head, "No, I've plan on ending these meetings when the teams merge. My reasons are that other competitors will mistake us of being an alliance and act against us, just like you two have."
"So, what are you going to do with us?" Gardevoir asked.
"I don't have many options since both of you have found us out already. So, we can either convince everyone else to vote you off, or you can join us in our meetings, provided that the other guys agree."
The two girls were slightly surprised at the offer and huddled together.
"What do you think? Should we join them?" Roserade asked Gardevoir.
"Well, they don't seem like a bad group of people. I mean, Kingdra has been pretty nice to most of the people here and none of them have many enemies. Plus, it gives us a good way to talk with Lucario and Zoroark."
"You have a point there. Plus, Bisharp seemed very sincere when he answered our questions. I say we go for it."
Both of them turned back towards Bisharp. "We'll join you guys." Roserade said.
Bisharp smiled as he turned toward the other members of the war council, "Are you guys okay with them joining us?"
"I don't mind." Kingdra said with a nod.
"I'm fine with it." Zoroark answered.
"I have no objections." Lucario said calmly.
Bisharp nodded, "I should welcome you to our ranks then. Now to get to business." He pulled out his list and chessboard and explained to Roserade and Gardevoir what the group already knew about the competition. The two were impressed.
"Now today's elimination. While we can take this opportunity to vote off Spiritomb as the leader of the other team, I am more concerned with Magmar. She's a real threat as her anger issues will definitely cause more trouble for our team. I also hear that many others are voting her off as well. So even if we try to vote off Spiritomb, Magmar might get voted off instead. We could endanger ourselves to being Spiritomb's enemy and we don't want that. So our best course of action tonight is to vote off Magmar. She might hate us for it, but it's for the best. Everyone agree?" There were no objections. "Great, meeting adjourned, meet back here after the next challenge."
000
Gardevoir: I was worried at first when we found out about them, but now, I'm relieved; we know that those guys aren't doing anything evil.
000
At the campfire ceremony, everyone had gathered. Latios and Latias were floating with a poffin case.
"Well, well, well, everyone seems to have voted already, wonder who's going home. Will it be a Lugia, or will it be a Ho-oh?" Some Pokemon exchanged uneasy glances.
Latias continued "The following Pokemon are safe, Bisharp, Gardevoir, Spinarak, Sawk, and Altaria." The five Pokemon went up and got their poffins.
"Lucario, Kingdra, Chinchou, Aron, Deerling, Joltik. You guys are safe as well." The Pokemon went up to get their poffins. "Magneton, Zoroark, Espeon, Absol, Lampent are also safe." Over half the Pokemon have been declared safe.
"Serperior, Spiritomb, Schuckle, Blitzle, Klink and Rotom are safe as well." They went to receive their poffins.
"Cloyster, Feebas, and Roserade, you three are also safe tonight." Only four Pokemon remained, Persian, Zangoose, Magmar and Stunfisk.
"Zangoose and Persian, you two are safe." They sighed in relief as they got their poffins.
"Well, well quite a surprise, the last two are both from the same team, and the Lugias might I add." Latias said, quite amused, "I would have thought you guys might vote someone off from the Ho-Ohs with your numbers and all, but I digress. The last poffin tonight goes to…"
Stunfisk looked worried, Magmar's brow furrowed.
"Stunfisk. I'm sorry Magmar, but you'll be leaving tonight."
As Stunfisk relaxed, Magmar stood up. "How the hell could you vote for me?" She shouted. "We outnumbered them! Why did you vote for your own teammate?" Directing her attention to her team.
"Hey, you're one to talk." Latias interrupted. "You voted for Stunfisk."
Stunfisk groaned, "Why am I not surprised?"
"Well you know what? Screw all of you! Oh and Latias? I was the one who destroyed the challenge shack! But since I've been eliminated, you can't do anything about it. So, hah!"
Latias stared in shock, her eye began to twitch. Latios noticed this and began to restrain her.
"I could use a little help here!" He shouted as Sawk, Zoroark and Bisharp came to help just as Latias was about to blow.

Magmar: This freaking sucks! Not only am I the first female out of the competition, but I also get voted off by my own team! What the hell? They don't know a useful team member from a bad one! I don't really care who wins, as long as it isn't Stunfisk. He just pisses me off! So, as I leave, I'll say this, screw you all!

As an angry Magmar departed, everyone just stood in silence.
"She's finally gone, I can breathe a little easier now." Stunfisk said exhaling.
"I think we all can." Roserade added.
A long silence followed.
"Well I'm going to bed." Zangoose said, breaking it. "Who knows what challenge they'll concoct next."
"Agreed."
"Yeah."
"I was thinking the same exact series of thoughts!"
Everyone left to go to bed, sweet dreams all around.
This chapter actually took longer than I thought, I had a hard time with the middle, but it slowly came to me and I sped up at the end.
I'll try to update faster, but I don't know, I have a lot of things to deal with.
Magmar, nothing can be really said about her, she was just a character that got angry easily, especially when it came to Stunfisk and his sarcastic remarks.
With the craps game, I simplified it a little bit as it's so much more complicated in real life.
There are a couple of references here and there, see if you can find them.
Magmar: Review or I'll burn you to cinders!
Next time: It's phobia time! The campers get to face their worst fears when Latias's invites some old friends to come visit. Pasts are revealed and one Pokemon is in for a nasty shock that haunts them for the rest of their stay. Once the challenge ends, one spooked contestant goes home.
