Sakura woke up. She thought to herself, "It's my 7th week on this ship. Last week wasn't
good. Heather thinks I'm going to betray the team. I'm dating Cody, but I won't turn
against my own squad. I'll go to the control room." Sakura left economy class, but
Duncan followed her. Sakura went inside the control room, and she made a discovery.
She shouted, "This computer is also a surveillance camera! It's Harold's fault that we lost
last week? If we lose this week, then I'll tell everyone that he caused our first loss."
Duncan stood by the door. He asked, "It's hard to sleep, huh?" Sakura yelled, "Duncan,
you startled me! Anyway, I'm going to change the map. Where should we go?" He
replied, "We should go to Celadon City. There's a game corner, and I want to win some
prizes." Duncan changed the map route, and the boat headed west towards Celadon City.
Sakura commented, "It's only 3 a.m. in the morning. We should go back to sleep."
Four hours later, everyone headed to the mess hall for an announcement from Chris.
Chris explained, "At this point in the competition, the teams will merge. When we reach
Celadon City, I'll explain the challenge." Sakura asked, "The teams merge? What does
that mean?" Noah told her, "It means that we're all enemies now. If you want to stay in
the competition, you should try and form an alliance." Gwen added, "Sakura, we should
team up. It will be easier to take down Heather. She hates both of us." Sakura knew that
Gwen could be trusted. She asked, "Can Cody join us?" Gwen replied, "He has joined
forces with Duncan. Apparently, he needs to get tips on how to flirt with you." Chris
announced, "We've arrived at Celadon City! Here's the challenge. Remember when
Sakura found the red orb? Well, Gwen's team found a blue one in Cerulean Cave. In
Celadon City, there is a green one. The first person who finds it gets invincibility!"
Everyone paired up, and searched Celadon City. Duncan and Cody went into the game
corner. Duncan said, "This stupid orb sounds expensive. If we get enough money, we can
probably buy it. Let's use the slot machines." Duncan put a quarter in the slot machine.
Cody exclaimed, "Sweet! You got three sevens!" 1,000 dollars came out of the slot
machine. Next, it was Cody's turn. He put a quarter in the slot machine, and he also got
three sevens. The boys took their cash to the desk for prizes. The employee told them,
"I'm sorry. The legendary green orb isn't here." Cody noticed the employee's body
language. Cody said to Duncan, "He's lying. I can see that his eye twitched when he
claimed that the green orb wasn't here." Duncan was so angry, that he tore a poster off
the wall. Cody yelled, "Look, Duncan! A secret staircase! Should we see what's down
there?" The punk replied, "We should check it out." The two boys went down the stairs.
Meanwhile, Harold and Bridgette looked in the fountain. Bridgette asked, "Harold, do
you really think the fountain has a secret switch? He replied, "Yes, Bridgette. I've seen
movies about fountains and secret agents." Noah and Izzy looked in the store. Izzy
shouted, "It's probably in the section for TMs, Noah!" He told her, "Izzy, you filled up
our cart with potions and status-healing items. Besides, TMs are abilities. This orb
probably doesn't have any abilities." Heather and Ezekiel searched the bushes. Heather
asked, "How can you possibly think this stupid orb is in the bushes?" Ezekiel explained,
"The orb is green. Bushes are green, eh." Gwen and Sakura followed Cody's trail. Gwen
shouted, "Look, Sakura! There's a staircase! Let's see what's down there!" Sakura said,
"We need to be cautious, Gwen. There could be thieves down there. I have an idea."
Sakura wrapped a paper bomb around a kunai knife. The two girls headed down the
stairs. Cody found a sign. It said: "Team Rocket HQ. All questions for the boss must be
submitted in writing. Giovanni's office is on the fifth floor. Thank you for reading this."
Duncan said, "Wow. That's an interesting policy. Anyway, let's find this stupid orb.
Cody noticed a map of the Team Rocket Headquarters. It was easy to read. Cody
immediately had a plan. He shouted, "Hey, Duncan! The surveillance camera room is on
the 2nd floor! Let's go up these stairs!" Gwen and Sakura arrived downstairs. Gwen said,
"I thought I heard someone talking. Anyway, where are we?" Sakura noticed the sign.
She yelled, "Look at this, Gwen! All questions for the boss must be submitted in
writing." Gwen asked, "Why is that important? I see an elevator. Let's use it." Sakura
pressed the buttons. However, nothing happened. Sakura threw the kunai knife with a
paper bomb. The elevator door exploded! Cody asked, "What was that?" Duncan told
him, "Anything strange equals Sakura and Gwen are down here, too. Let's find the
surveillance camera room." Gwen said to Sakura, "It's not working. We might have to
climb up the stairs. Sakura pulled out a wind scroll. She shouted, "Wind Style: Tornado
Lift Jutsu!" A whirlwind appeared, and it sent the girls up to the second floor. Gwen told
Sakura, "Those scrolls come in handy, don't they? Let's see what's on this floor."
Cody and Duncan found what they were looking for. Duncan whispered, "Hey, Cody.
Sakura and Gwen are on this floor. Wait. Look at that. The orb is on the 3rd floor."
Sakura stood in the doorway. She cheered, "Thanks, Duncan! We'll meet you there!"
Cody and Duncan ran after them. Gwen said, "Sakura, we are very smart girls." Cody
stopped everybody. He looked on the cameras. Bridgette and Harold discovered the
staircase. Bridgette told Harold, "The fountain had a secret entrance. You were right,
Harold. Let's run to the 2nd floor." They were followed by Noah, Izzy, and Heather. Noah
commented, "That was impossible. The secret entrance was behind a vending machine."
Izzy shouted, "Somebody's on the 2nd floor! Let's follow them!" After 10 minutes,
everyone arrived at the 2nd floor. Bridgette asked, "Where's the orb?" Sakura replied,
"It's not on this floor." Bridgette exclaimed, "You're right, Sakura! Harold, let's check
the third floor!" Everyone followed them. Bridgette noticed a room with a glass jar. The
green orb was inside it. Harold told her, "Stop, Bridgette! Stay very still. There is a green
laser security system. Sakura had an idea. She told Harold, "Watch this." She threw
shuriken at the lasers. They deflected some of the beams. Four of Sakura's shuriken
broke the glass jar. She threw three more shuriken at the orb. It bounced against the walls
several times. Bridgette exclaimed, "Let's get it, Harold!" They tried to get the orb, but
they tripped some laser beams. Then, a countdown started. Cody screamed, "It's just like
Kesha said in her song! This place is about to blow!" Sakura had another idea. She
shouted, "Wind Style: Tornado Lift Jutsu!" Ezekiel was walking around Celadon City.
Suddenly, a portal appeared! Rock Lee fell out of it!" He asked, "Where am I?" Ezekiel
replied, "You're in Celadon City, eh. I'm Ezekiel." Rock Lee said, "I am the leaf
village's handsome devil! My name is Rock Lee!" Suddenly, an explosion was heard.
Sakura and the others were sent flying. They landed in the trees. Heather asked, "Where's
the orb?" The green orb landed in front of Ezekiel. He told Lee, "Look at this, eh."
Chris announced, "Ezekiel wins the challenge! Hello, mystery dude! You can be my new
intern. Get me a latte." Lee replied, "Yes, sir! I do not know what a latte is, but I will find
one!" Sakura thought to herself, "First, Sasuke shows up. This time, Lee's here."
Everyone headed to the ship. After 2 hours, Lee found a latte for Chris. Heather asked,
"Who's the guy with those big bushy eyebrows?" He replied, "I am Rock Lee! I am also
known as the leaf village's handsome devil." Chris said, "Lee, go to first class. Check on
home school. He scares me. Everyone else cast your votes for elimination!" Bridgette
told Harold, "I wonder who I should eliminate this week." Duncan commented, "I know
who I'm voting off. The two people who caused that underground place to blow up."
Noah told Harold, "Following Bridgette was a bad move, man. She's clumsy on land."
Confession Cam
Ezekiel: Bridgette messed with Harold's head, eh.
Harold: Bridgette blew up a building! We're lucky that the boss wasn't there.
Bridgette: Since Ezekiel's immune, I'm voting for Heather.
Izzy: Bridgette was more psychotic than me today!
Noah: Harold shouldn't have listened to Bridgette. He claims that he's smart.
Gwen: Harold needs to realize that no one can be trusted at this point.
Duncan: Bridgette ruined everyone's chances at winning!
Cody: Harold trusted Bridgette, and they almost killed everybody!
Heather: Harold's an idiot, because he trusted an idiot!
Sakura: Heather has to go down. She's so mean to me.
At elimination, everyone glared at each other. Chris told them, "I've reviewed the confessionals, and there's lots of hate in this group! I have eight marshmallows on this
plate. Duncan commented, "Wait, Mclean. You have eight marshmallows. That means two people are leaving, right?" Chris replied, "Yeah, you just figured that out. Also, I
have the votes. There are four votes against Bridgette, four votes against Harold, and two votes against Heather. Well, we know who's leaving us. Bridgette and Harold, you
have to get on the Boat of Losers." Duncan shouted, "Don't blow up the boat, Bridgette!" They got on the boat, and it sped away.
Heather said to Sakura, "Since those two are gone, you're at the top of my list of enemies again. Try to win invincibility, because you'll need it."
Sakura replied, "Shut up, Heather! Cody doesn't hate me! You'll never tear us apart!" Heather asked, "Do you really think I would be stupid enough to do that?"
Sakura headed to economy class. Cody sat next to her. He noticed that she was depressed. Cody said, "Sakura, I have a present for you." He gave her a bouquet of Celadon
City's world-famous rainbow roses. They were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. Sakura cheered, "Cody, they're beautiful!" She kissed him on the cheek.
Then, Cody and Sakura used the air vent to sneak into first class. More importantly, Sakura needed to get away from Heather.
How did you like Chapter 7? Heather and Sakura's confict is heating up! Sakura's romance is heating up! The teams have merged! Also, I hope you liked
Rock Lee's appearance into the story. He will have a major role in Chapter 8. Someone will be joining the contestants, too. Standby for updating!
