Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I've been a little distracted lately and kind of depressed so it's been hard to write. Anyways, I hope you guys like this chapter.

Disclaimers on all other chapters.

"I can't go up to him…" Grace whispered softly, her eyes fixated on a certain grass type Pokemon. She was having an internal crisis. Her feelings for Sherlock had become so much stronger. Her insecurities were holding her back from actually telling him.

"Oh well. I'll build up to it. I have to go find Brett anyways." She said, flapping her wings and taking off.

Sherlock sighed as he watched the owl fly off. He could tell that she was falling for him and that fact frustrated him. Feelings and emotions were not something he understood well, as he himself did not experience them. He knew how to manipulate the emotions of others to benefit himself, but he did not know how to experience them.

"What's up nerd?" Sharp asked, coming to sit next to Sherlock. The Sceptile sighed.

"How do you push someone away?" Sherlock asked bluntly. Sharp turned to look at him.

"What the hell are you going on about?" Sherlock sighed and put his fingers against his temples.

"It's very evident that Grace appears to be developing feelings for me. I have absolutely no interest in her and I wish to distance myself from her." Sharp let out a low whistle.

"Dude. That's kind of cold." Sharp replied.

"I honestly do not care. I usually have no interest in relationships of any kind. I have only dated others in the past as it assisted me in my endeavors." Sherlock said simply, turning to face Sharp.

"Well, I guess just be straight up with her if you really have no feelings for her. Just tell her how you feel if she ever comes forward with the way that she feels." Sharp advised. Sherlock nodded after a moment.

"Interesting. Thank you." Sherlock said standing up. He gave Sharp a nod and walked away. Sharp just watched him, shaking his head.

Confessional: Sharp

"Sherlock is kind of a freak but I guess he's an alliance member. I don't really know Grace that well, but I can tell that she's going to get shot down hard."

"Haru, are you okay?" Anna whispered, leaning her head over the edge of the wooden dock. The Vaporeon had holed himself up underneath the dock, his head barely above the water. He didn't reply, and just sunk down deeper into the deep dark water.

Anna sighed, not sure as to what to do. She paced back and forth, and then took a deep breath. She sighed again, and jumped into the water. She gasped for air, pulling her head above the water and weakly swam over to where Haruka was.

Haruka looked over to see the Espeon paddling over to him. She was swimming slowly but had a determined look on her face. She finally got over to him, breathing heavily.

"Haru, you can't hide under here for ever." Anna said softly, digging her small claws into one of the wooden poles holding the dock up. Haruka looked up at her with sad eyes.

"I lost my best friend…" He replied, tears welling up in his face.

"You didn't lose him. You'll see him again." Anna said.

"It's so different without him."

"I know Haru. I know. But use it as incentive to win. Show Makoto how strong you are. And you're not alone, you've got me." She said with a smile, and then yelped as the water came over her head, causing her to struggle. Haruka noticed immediately, and quickly grabbed the scruff of Anna's neck with his mouth. He swam quickly, pulling her with him. He surfaced closely to the beach, and rapidly pulled Anna onto the sand. Anna coughed up a little bit of water, lying on her side.

"So that's all it took to get you out from under there?" Anna joked weakly. Haruka rolled his eyes, lying down across from her. Anna leaned over, placing a paw gently against his cheek. Haruka leaned into her touch, and let out a choked sob.

"I know…" Anna whispered, softly stroking his face. Haruka moved closer to Anna, and she sweetly kissed his forehead.

"I'm here for you Haru."

Confessional: Anna

"Haru was there for me, and now all I want to do is see him happy. He promised to stay by my side, and I'll stay by his side."

"Hey Lea." Kasai greeted her friend with a smile. Lea grinned, bounding over to where her friend was sitting on the cabin steps.

"How are you?" Lea asked with a smile. Kasai's smile wavered.

"I'm… confused." The blue-eyed Ninetales admitted. Lea tilted her head.

"What's going on?" Lea said, concerned for her friend. Kasai sighed gently.

"It's about Nico…"

"Oh?"

"I don't know how I feel about him." Kasai admitted, playing with her paws.

"What do you mean?" Lea asked, slightly confused.

"I think he may like me, but we originally just said that we wanted to be friends. And if he does like me as more than a friend, than I really don't know what to do or how to respond to that. I'm not sure if I like him as more than a friend or not." She said softly. Lea smiled gently.

"I guess if he does like you, it couldn't hurt to give him a chance, right?" Lea said. Kasai turned to look at her.

"You think? I'm afraid of maybe leading him on, you know?" Lea shrugged.

"I don't know… I'm not the best with relationships to be honest." The grass type said.

"You and me both." Kasai said with a laugh. Lea giggled gently.

"Speaking of relationships…." Lea began, her eyes shifting to the ground. Kasai's ears perked up, turning to look at her.

"What's on your mind?" The fire type asked, moving closer to her friend. Lea blushed.

"Umm… I really like Donny…" Lea squeaked, her face turning even redder than it was originally. Kasai grinned like the Cheshire cat.

"I knew it!" She said, nudging Lea with her shoulder. Lea grinned, her eyes fixated on the ground.

"I really want him to ask me out, but I'm afraid that he won't." She admitted. Kasai nodded.

"I don't think you have anything to worry about. I think everyone has seen the way he looks at you. Just give him time to get his confidence."

"Thanks Kas."

"No problem." The two girls smiled at each other, comfortable in the silence.

Confessional: Lea

"I really hope Donny asks me out… I really like him. It was really helpful to talk to Kasai. I hope things with her and Nico work out."

"Come on Munch! Pick it up!" Alice yelled behind her as she jogged ahead of the Munchlax. Munch was running behind her, sweating profusely and swearing under his breath.

"I'm trying!" He managed to yell back in between gasps. Alice laughed to herself as she continued to run. Munch rolled his eyes as the Sylveon picked up speed. He appreciated the fact that she was willing to help him work out and be healthier, but keeping up with her was a nightmare. The fact that Flint was also on the side watching the two of them really did not make things any easier.

"You've got one more lap bro!" Flint yelled as Munch slowly passed him. Munch turned his head to glare at Flint. One more lap meant another lap around the entire island. There was no way he was going to get through this without passing out.

"We can slow down a bit if you want." Alice said. She had slowed down when she noticed how far behind her Munch was. She was now only a few paces ahead of him. Munch nodded his head desperately, not wanting to speak. Alice grinned at him, before turning to face the trail and continued to run.

Flint laughed while he shook his head. Alice was really going out of her way to ensure that Munch was getting the best workout possible. Flint smiled again at the thought of the Sylveon. She had asked him if he wanted to join them, but Flint had declined. He was more into water sports as opposed to any on land physical activity.

"Hey Flint? Are you busy?" A voice behind Flint asked, causing him to jump. He turned to see Donny standing behind him nervously.

"No man, I'm not busy. What's up?" He asked. Donny kicked at the ground, trying to gain the confidence to speak. He took a huge breath, and then spoke quickly.

"I really want to ask Lea out but I don't know what to say and I'm incredibly nervous cause I've never even kissed a girl and I don't want her to say no, I really like her and want her to say yes and I need advice-"

"Whoa, slow down there buddy." Flint interjected. Donny turned to look at him with incredibly wide eyes. Flint grinned.

"I don't think you have any reason to be that nervous. I think it's pretty obvious that she likes you too."

"You think?" Donny asked hopefully. Flint nodded his head.

"Yeah, I really do."

"So, what should I say then?" The Cacnea wondered aloud. Flint shrugged.

"I don't know, just be straightforward and honest? Tell her how you feel and just ask her if she wants to date you. The worst that could happen is that she'll say no. But like I said, I highly doubt she would. She likes you." Flint said reassuringly.

"That's really helpful. Thanks." Donny said, and Flint patted him on the back.

"I know it's scary, but you can do it! Just build up your confidence." Donny laughed.

"Trust me, I'm definitely trying. It's a lot harder than it looks."

"I know man, I know. But it'll be worth it."

"Yeah… She's pretty incredible." Donny replied with a grin. Flint couldn't help but smile back. Donny was completely smitten with Lea, and that was enough to make anyone grin.

Confessional: Donny

"I'm going to do it soon! I'm going to ask Lea soon!"

"So Brett, how are you feeling today?" Grace asked, perched on a tree stump. Brett was sitting in front of the stump, his back to Grace. She had told him that this was a popular method used by some psychologists, apparently it allowed for the conversation to flow 'easier'.

"I'm doing alright I guess." He said, trying to take it seriously.

"You're not feeling angry at all?" Brett shook his head

"Not right now. I'm feeling okay at the moment." He admitted.

"That's good. But are you worried that this feeling won't last?" The bird asked, looking at notes that she had scrawled before hand. Brett sighed heavily.

"I am. I'm afraid that something is going to happen, and I'm just going to snap. And once I snap, it takes a lot to get out of it. The last time I got really angry, I punched one of the trees until I passed out. I just remember waking up dazed and confused." The Corphish stated, feeling slightly ashamed.

"Why were you angry?" Grace inquired.

"I don't really know. I think I may have been upset, as I had gotten a letter from one of my sisters. She was telling me that there was a guy at her school picking on her. That pissed me off. I hate when someone picks on the 'weaker' kid. It especially frustrates me when it's my siblings. I'm the one who takes care of them."

"Do you resent that?"

"Hell no. I love my family and I would do anything for them. But not being able to help them just gets under my skin." Brett said. Grace nodded in understanding.

"That could be one reason for your rage, but what about when you experience anger and it doesn't involve your family? What do you think contributes to that?" She asked.

"I guess I just don't like to lose. I've always been called an overachiever. That permeates into everything that I do. I push myself as far as I can go, and if I don't achieve what I've been aiming for, it gets to me." Brett explained.

"And then out comes your rage…" Grace murmured. She paused for a moment, analyzing what Brett had just said.

"Well we know what causes your temper to flare, now we need to work on handling it as punching something till you pass out isn't healthy in the slightest." Brett chuckled at her words.

"Trust me, I know." He said.

"What I think would be healthy would be finding an outlet for your anger. Write down everything that is making you mad whenever you feel your temper start to rise. Or come and find me and just talk until you get it all out. You can't keep it bottled up, but you also can't attack others with it. The other thing I would suggest is imagery. Create a place in your mind that is a safe place to go to when things get bad. I have one. For me, it's up in the clouds away from everyone else and it's completely silent except for the wind. I want you to try and create one, and whenever you start to feel any rage, close your eyes, go to that place in your mind and count to 10." Grace said.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Brett replied. Grace gently patted him on the shoulder with one of her wings, and the Corphish turned around to give her a small smile.

Confessional: Brett

"Even though that therapy session was kind of improvised, I think it did actually help a little bit. I guess I'll try putting those methods Grace suggested to the test."

Lorelei let out a heavy sigh and rested her head on her front paws. The normally energetic Delcatty had been lethargic and sluggish ever since Makoto gone. She had barely said a word to anyone, even though pretty much everyone on either team had tried to talk to her.

"Yo, being depressive and emo is my thing. You need to cheer up." Nico said, coming up to her. He still hadn't tried to cheer up the normal type, and it was his turn to give it a try. Lorelei turned to look at him.

"I'm getting tired of being here." She admitted, her ears flat against her head. Nico raised a brow.

"What are you talking about?"

"My family is incredibly wealthy and I have a massive amount of money that I will inherit once I reach a certain age. I don't need the money. I just came here to have fun and make friends. Makoto was the first Pokemon to show me affection and not get annoyed by how hyper I can be. I miss him." She muttered, her voice heavy with the threat of tears. Nico let out a groan.

"So? You should still fight to be here." He snapped. Lorelei jumped at his sharp tone, and then looked down.

"I don't want to take the opportunity away from someone else who actually needs the money…" She whispered. Nico rolled his eyes.

"Fine. Whatever, sulk away. At least I gave it a shot." He said, walking away from her. Lorelei sighed again, and lay her head back down on the ground.

Confessional: Lorelei

"I think I know what I'm going to have to do… I just really don't want to be here anymore…"

"Well it seems Sharp did what we said." Kendra said, examining her claws. Aqua rolled her eyes.

"Obviously he would. He was practically drooling at the thoughts that we were putting in his head." She replied, tossing her head dramatically. Kendra smirked.

"Boys are so easy to play. As if we would actually even let him touch us." She said and Aqua shivered with disgust.

"I'd rather eat that disgusting lesbian's cooking than let him lay his hands on me." She sneered. Kendra's eyes widened at Aqua's blatant homophobia, but said nothing.

"We need to start weeding out the members on our team." Aqua continued to speak and Kendra nodded her head.

"I agree. Who should we get rid of first?" The Absol asked, as she had no particular contestant in mind. Kendra paused for a moment, thinking about everyone on her team.

"Lea. She's too much of a goody two shoes with a sickeningly sweet smile. I want her out of here." She stated. Kendra nodded her head.

"We'll find a way to get rid of her."

"I don't care how we get rid of the others. I just want them all of the island, even if that means they're going to be leaving in body bags!" Aqua exclaimed, her voice rising.

Hidden in the trees, Ashe stood listening. She closed her eyes and pressed a hand to her forehead.

"She's playing her." She whispered softly to herself. As far as she could tell, Aqua had Kendra completely brainwashed.

"I'll have to keep an eye on them. But I can't be too obvious. I have to strike and get rid of Aqua at the correct time. And I will get rid of her." The Froslass swore to herself.

"CAMPERS, MEET US IN THE NEWLY BUILT ARENA IN 10 MINUTES!" Celebi shouted over the intercom, causing Ashe to quickly float away before Aqua or Kendra noticed her presence.

Confessional: Ashe

"Aqua had best be prepared to leave this island soon."

The contestants had all gathered inside a huge arena that had engravings on Celebi and Jirachi on the walls.

"Why the hell do we have an arena?" Nico muttered to Kasai who just shrugged her shoulders.

"Today you will be competing in one versus one battles! There will be eight battles in total. The first team to five will win. However if the teams tie with four each, then there will be a final tie-breaking match. Ladies, sit someone out as you have one extra member AND IT CAN'T BE THE SAME POKEMON WHO SAT OUT LAST TIME." Jirachi said, noticing that Aqua was sliding her tail into the air.

"Can I please sit out? I don't like violence if it's not necessary." Anna said raising her paw.

"Sure." Alice said with a grin and Ashe nodded her head.

"Okay so Anna is sitting out. All of the battles will be randomized. Now, everyone into the stands except Ashe and Sharp!" Celebi said as a screen appeared with pictures of Ashe and Sharp's faces.

"Sharp has a type advantage over Ashe. This could be bad." Kasai said nervously. Grace shook her head.

"Are you kidding? Ashe is well trained and knows how to battle. Sharp is going down."

Ashe and Sharp stood in the center of the arena, staring at each other. Sharp cracked his knuckles and Ashe just smiled sweetly. The air horn went off and Sharp immediately charged at her, his hand glowing. He was preparing to hit her with a Metal Claw. As he neared her though, Ashe leapt into the air and let out a Blizzard attack.

Sharp shielded his eyes as Ashe landed back onto the ground. Ashe moved quickly and hit Sharp across the face with a Wake-Up Slap. Sharp groaned, feeling the effects of the move. He grit his teeth though and slashed his swords at Ashe, hitting her with a Guillotine.

Ashe let out a noise as she skidded back from the force of the attack, but the determined look remained in her eyes. Quickly she let out an Icy wind, causing Sharp to throw his arms up to protect himself. Seeing her opportunity, Ashe moved towards him again, hitting him with another Wake-Up Slap. The force of it caused Sharp to fall to one of his knees and Ashe immediately moved out of his range. She knew that if he got one effective dark type hit on her, she would be done.

"I know you have an advantage over me, so there is really only one thing I can do, especially since you're weak." She said as purple orbs began to float in front of her. She moved her arms forward and the orbs hit Sharp. His body shook for a moment, and then he promptly passed out. Ashe stood for a moment, before she too fell to the ground.

"Although she fainted because of the Destiny Bond attack she unleashed, Ashe was still standing when Sharp fainted. Therefore Ashe wins and a point goes to the Reshiram's!" Celebi yelled as both Sharp and Ashe were lifted by a psychic attack into the stands.

The faces on the boards began to spin and stopped on Sherlock and Aqau.

"Sherlock, Aqua, get down here!" Jirachi said, and the two Pokemon stepped down. The air horn sounded, and neither of them moved. Sherlock smiled suddenly.

"I guess I can finally do this. There was no rule against it." He said, as a glowing orb seemed to surround his body. It remained there for a few seconds, and then disappeared, revealing a Mega Sceptile.

"Shit." Aqua muttered, as Sherlock began to move. He leapt in front of Aqau, the appendages on his arms glowing green. He crossed them quickly, hitting the Dragonair with a powerful Leaf Blade. Aqua snarled at this, and closed her eyes. As she did this, a Twister attack was generated in front of her. When she opened her eyes, the attack went flying towards Sherlock.

Sherlock jumped out of the way, but he wasn't quick enough. The Twister hit the lower half of his body and he slammed into the ground. He pushed himself up though, and immediately fired a Dragon Pulse, hitting Aqua in the chest. While she moaned in pain, she began to feel her energy being drained. Looking up, she realized that Sherlock was using Giga Drain on her.

"Damn it!" She yelled. Sherlock smirked, and before Aqua had a moment to react, she was hit with a Dragon Claw. With a groan, the Dragonair fainted.

"Sherlock wins! Next up will be Donny versus Kasai!" Donny immediately paled as the fire type shook out her fur before padding over to the center of the arena.

"This is how I die…" He muttered, as Munch gave him a sympathetic look while Flint patted his back. The Cacnea groaned, but he too made his way to the arena. Kasai gave him a small smile as she moved into a crouch, preparing to pounce the instant the air horn went off. Donny just closed his eyes, praying that it would be over quickly.

The air horn sounded, and Kasai took off like a bullet towards Donny, blue flames streaming from her mouth. Her teeth latched onto the grass type, and using the force from the Fire Fang attack, she tossed him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Donny shrieked as he flew through the air. As his body soared, Kasai let out a powerful Flamethrower, the blue flames hitting her target. Donny continued to scream as he fell to the hard ground. He skidded across the ground before finally coming to a stop, where he twitched a few times.

"Well… that was anticlimactic… Next up will be Nico versus Lea!" Celebi announced as Kasai gently dragged Donny's body off of the battleground. Lea swallowed nervously as Nico confidently leapt down, baring his fangs.

The air horn went off, but neither Pokémon moved right away. Nico began to slowly circle around Lea, as if he was hunting prey. Lea could see that he was trying to intimidate her, so as opposed to waiting for him to strike, she tossed her head and sent a Razor Leaf attack in his general direction.

Nico dodged the attack easily, and used the momentum to grab Lea with his mouth and use Crunch on her. She flinched as he dropped her onto the ground, unaware that he was moving towards her, one of his paws glowing purple. He hit her easily with a Sucker Punch, causing the wind to be knocked out of her.

She slowly tried to stand up, and began to gather in sunlight. Nico immediately realized that she was preparing a Solar Beam, and knew that he had to act before she could fire it off. Nico began to run towards the grass type, becoming cloaked in a harsh white light. He slammed hard into Lea, sending her flying back. He paused, and had to shake out his fur to get rid of the recoil he had felt from the Take Down attack. Lea on the other hand was completely passed out from the force of the attack.

"Nico wins and we are tied at two points each!" Jirachi said as Lea was dragged off. The faces on the board began to spin and eventually landed on Alice and Flint. Alice sprinted to the arena, excited to get the battle started. Flint just sighed heavily, knowing that Alice had trained a lot before coming to the island.

"I'm not going easy on you." Alice stated. Flint couldn't help but grin.

"I know." He replied as the air horn sounded. Flint immediately tried to get in the first hit, as he conjured up a Leaf Tornado. He sent in flying towards Alice, who attempted to jump out of the way, but was too slow. It clipped the side of her body, causing her to fall to the ground. She grinned as she easily stood back up.

"Nice idea, but see how you handle this." She said as a moon appeared above her. With a sweet smile, she sent a Moonblast towards Flint who felt the full force of the attack, causing him to fall to his knee. He slowly pushed himself back and then ran as fast as he could towards Alice, the leaves on his arm growing in size and glowing harshly with green light. He slashed at her with a Leaf Blade, and to his surprise, Alice didn't move. She let him hit her, and the instant he did, Flint was overcome with a sense of infatuation for the Sylveon.

He stepped back, not wanting to attack her for fear of hurting her, as Alice confidently walked towards him.

"Cute Charm can sometimes have its advantages." She admitted, leaning in to kiss Flint's cheek. As she did, Flint could feel his energy slipping away.

"Draining Kiss." Alice explained, as the moon appeared above her again.

"You tried your best, but it wasn't enough." She said, as she used Moonblast once more. Flint groaned as he fell to the ground.

"And Alice takes the battle! Next up will be Brett versus Grace!" Celebi said. Brett and Grace gazed at each other, and Grace shrugged her shoulders.

"Let's get this over with I guess." She said, as she flew over to the arena, landing gracefully on the ground. Brett walked over and faced the Noctowl. The air horn sounded, and before Brett could even blink, Grace had taken flight again.

"Shit." Brett cursed, realizing that it was going to be much more difficult to hit the bird now that she was in the air. The Corphish focused in on her, and shot a Bubblebeam in her direction, which she easily avoided. He growled under his breath, unaware that Grace had moved her wing, sending an Air Slash down. It hit him hard and he winced.

He looked up and tried to hit her with another Bubblebeam, which she avoided just as easily as the first. Grace opened her mouth and let out a loud cry, hitting Brett with an Echoed Voice.

He groaned and tried to shield himself. Grace saw her opening and allowed her body to begin to glow. Brett looked up and his eyes widened; he knew what Grace was about to do. As her body became fully covered in light, she dove towards Brett preparing to hit him with a powerful Sky Attack. Brett threw up his claw, preparing a Crabhammer, in a last ditch attempt to stop the bird. As Grace made contact with Brett's claw, Brett began to glow as well.

Grace was the first one to break out of the attack, having realized that it had done very little damage to Brett. She flew back to a safer distance, watching as the Brett's body was growing under the light. As the light faded, everyone gasped at Brett's new appearance.

He had grown in height and become a darker shade of red. His claws were larger and much more menacing, and a large star had formed on the top of his head. A blue stripe cut across his face, and he looked incredibly tougher than before.

"Interesting. I'm a Crawdaunt now." He said, his voice slightly deeper than before. Grace blinked in shock, but quickly got over it as she attempted another Air Slash. Brett didn't move, and instead conjured a blue bubble around himself, using Protect to avoid taking damage. As Grace attempted to figure out what to do next, she was hit with a Bubblebeam, causing her to lose her focus and fall to the ground.

Quickly, Brett took his opportunity. He hit the Noctowl hard with a Crabhammer, causing her to faint. He raised his claw in the air, celebrating his victory, while Ashe shook her head.

"Damn, if he hadn't evolved…" She muttered and Alice nodded her head.

"We could be in trouble here." Alice said as Brett helped Grace over to the stands. The faces on the screen were rotating again, and ended up on Haruka and Lorelei. Lorelei flattened her ears against her head.

"I hate fighting." She whispered as she inched her way to the middle of the arena. Haruka was already there, anxiously playing with his paws. The two made eye contact, both understanding how the other was feeling. The air horn went off, and Lorelei cautiously moved towards Haruka, unsure of what to do.

She raised a paw to try and use Double Slap on him, but missed entirely. Haruka easily moved out of the way, and allowed himself to rise up on a wave of Muddy Water. It crashed down over Lorelei who began coughing violently. She tried to shake the water off of her fur, already weak from the one attack.

Haruka felt badly for her, but knew that the easiest thing to do would be to the end the battle quickly.

"Sorry Lorelei." He said softly, using a Hydro Pump on her. Immediately, the Delcatty fell to the ground.

"Haruka wins! Ladies, you need to win the next battle to force it to go to a tie breaker, otherwise the gentlemen will win!" Jirachi said, as Celebi pointed to both Munch and Kendra, gesturing for them to both walk down. Kendra scoffed when she realized who her opponent was, unaware that the air horn had already gone off.

"This will be too easy. Seriously he doesn't stand a chance." She said to her teammates. She began to laugh as she was suddenly hit hard.

"What the hell?" She asked, before she was hit again, even harder this time. Looking up, she saw that Munch had curled up into a ball, and was using Rollout. He was headed straight for her once again. She tried to get out of the way, but was unable to as he hit her for a third time, even harder than the previous two. She felt her breath be taken out of her, as she began to gasp for air as she was hit for a fourth time, causing her back legs to give out.

"Well, we've lost." Alice muttered, as Kendra was hit for a fifth and final time with the most powerful Rollout yet, causing her to pass out.

"And that's why you don't get cocky and always be aware of your surroundings. Life lessons kids! Anyways, the Zekrom's win!" Jirachi announced as the boys began to cheer.

Confessional: Munch

"I figured I would get the attack off right away. I never thought it would actually work!"

The girls had all gathered at the elimination area, still unsure as to who would be going home. As Jirachi opened her mouth to speak, Lorelei suddenly stood up.

"Before you say anything, there's something I need to say." The Delcatty said. Jirachi looked very displeased but gestured for Lorelei to continue.

"I had a lot of fun here, and I enjoyed meeting all of you. As you guys know, Mako and I got really close. I miss him a lot, and I know it's stupid to be doing this over a guy, but… I quit. I'm from a wealthy family so I don't even need the money. I just wanted to find others who would care about me, and that's what happened with Mako. So I want to be with him, and let everyone else have the opportunity!" Lorelei announced.

"Well, alright then… Lorelei is eliminated. Lucky for you Kendra." Celebi said and Kendra's eyes widened slightly.

Confessional: Lorelei

"I wish everyone else the best of luck! I hope one of the girls will win it!"

Lorelei waved a paw to everyone on the deck as the boat took off. The girls all began to walk away, as Jirachi and Celebi shared a look.

"Well that was an interesting end. I guess we shouldn't be surprised with the way she was acting. Anyways, tune in next time for more excitement!"

Well, that's the chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Again, sorry for the delay with getting this chapter out, but I hope it was enjoyable at least.

I'll see you all soon with another installment.
