Announcer: Last time on Total Pokemon: Parafrosyni island, the contestants scattered in the dark to find special random items. Autumn's problems with Chase were brought into light, while Jadia still wanted revenge against Macey. In the challenge, Macey continued pestering Brian to fix her ray, with him refusing...until he was kidnapped. The campers were being hunted by a figure as they looked around for the items. In the end, the Reshirams actually won and the Zekroms got rid of maniac Macey!
What will happen this time? Find out right now on Total Pokemon: Parafrosyni Island!

Kaia and her alliance were inside of Luther's trash shelter. After discovering it with Jarred in the previous challenge, Kaia decided to make it their new hideout. And after Macey's elimination, everyone was livid, especially Jadia.
"Finally! The psycho bitch is gone!" Jadia cheered. "Donny, you have been avenged…"
"Well, now that that's taken care of...let's get rid of Brian, shall we?" asked Kaia. "He's completely overstayed his welcome...and he CONTRIBUTED to Macey's insanity!"
"Technically, he was tricked and being forced…" Jarred explained. "
"So what? He could have still-"
"She had an advantage over him…" Jarred added, stopping her. "We can't just vote him out for something he couldn't really control…"
"Well can we vote him out for being annoying as hell?" Kaia asked.
Jarred took a while before shrugging unsurely. Kaia gained a devious smile and climbed into his lap. She knew that he had a soft spot for her, so she decided to exploit it a bit.
After seeing her do that, Esmeralda and Jadia both giggled softly.
"Pleeease", she begged, giving him 'puppy dog eyes'.
Jarred looked towards Roscoe with a slight panicked expression. The Purugly couldn't say anything, as Esmeralda was distracting him.
"Uh...I don't really think it's right…" Jarred said.
"Pleeease, sweetie…" she repeated, standing in his lap with her paws on his chest.
Jarred was blushing and as he and Kaia stared at each other's eyes, they started leaning in for a kiss.
"Please…" she said once more before they actually kissed.
After a few seconds, they broke it, with Kaia smiling. "So…?"
Jarred sighed. He didn't want her to become upset, but he also didn't want to get rid of someone who isn't really causing him any problems, especially when they could still use him. Wait a second…
"I say we keep him", Jarred said with his own smirk.
Kaia gaped in shock. "Why? He's not helpful at all!"
"Babe...he made Macey a love ray...and according to you girls, he has a lot of other inventions…" Jarred said. "Why would you call that ability useless?"
"He's got and point there, K…" Esmeralda said. "We could use him a lot…"
"We already have Alpha and Sherlock, though…"
"What's wrong with more help?" asked Roscoe with a chuckle. "Plus, the other team is still pretty unstable. Who's to say that we're gonna lose again?"
"Well...you're right about that…" Kaia said. "So, how about...the next time we lose, we just vote for someone and let the amount do its work?"
"I guess…" Jadia said.
"Fine with me…" said Esmeralda.
"Okay", Roscoe said.
"...Jarred?" asked Kaia.
Jarred sighed with a smile. "Fine…"
Kaia smiled back and kissed him again.
"Gee, for a pair that's not dating, you two sure do kiss a lot…" Esmeralda joked.
"Hey...for now we're friends with benefits…" Kaia explained, laying against his chest as he placed an arm around her. "Nothing wrong with that…"
"If Macey was still here, she'd have a problem with it", said Jadia.
"Well, luckily, she's gone…" said Jarred. "I just hope the next challenge isn't difficult…"
"We all hope that…" Roscoe laughed before picking up the TV remote. "Now...who's up for some TV?"
000
"So...is your dad really that crazy? Or is that just an act?" asked Karen.
"He's really that crazy…" Chase spoke up. "Like I said before...he once ripped off a Machamp's arm and ate it…"
"They put him in fucking jail! He just defended himself…" Autumn said, defending her father.
"Whatever…" Chase said, rolling his eyes.
Autumn scoffed. "Why don't you and your boyfriend make yourselves useful and go get us some food…"
"Oh...are the 'independent women' actually relying on the men to bring them food?" Chase asked. "How ironic…"
"What the-" Autumn started, really getting annoyed. "You've been doing it anyway!"
"Yeah yeah…" Chase said as he stood up. "Come on Ace, let's go…"
Ace was still fast asleep with a smile on his face. Seeing him this way, Chase didn't really want to wake him, but with these annoying, shit talking females on his team around, he didn't want to take any chances…
He walked over to Ace's sleeping form and nuzzled him. Ace murred a bit, but continued his sleep, making Chase chuckle.
"Ugh...just get out!" Autumn exclaimed, which effectively startled Ace out of his slumber, causing him to bump his head against Chase's.
"Fucking bitch!" Chase swore, rubbing his head as Ace did the same with his ribbons.
"That's what you get!" Autumn stated with a smile.
Chase growled and wanted to attack her, but he held back his anger and just walked towards the exit. "Come on Ace…" he commanded.
Ace nodded and followed behind him. After they left, Rex, who was in the back, decided to speak up a bit.
"Autumn, don't you think you should let up on them a bit?" he asked. "Chase is still kin to you…and Ace makes him happy."
"Um...need I remind you that those two idiots tried convincing you that Taylor was a dude!" Karen said, giving him a look.
"I'm willing to forget about it!" Rex said. "It was just an assumption based on something dumb…"
"Yeah...their pea-brains…" Autumn stated.
Rex sighed. "Alright, fine...keep doing that. You'll end up needing them in the long run…"
And with that, he retreated to his hole, where Taylor was waiting.
"Please…" Autumn stated. "Those idiots will need us way before we need them…"
000
Rex: I'm not usually one to cut into stuff like that at all, but...it's getting annoying with all the screaming and hate…
000
Tiffanie jumped down from a tree with her leafy bag hung over her shoulders. It was filled with an abundance of berries. She nodded in approvement and prepared to go back to her team's cave when she saw Chase and Ace coming towards her.
"Oh...hey guys, what's up?" she asked.
"My asshole sister and her annoying girlfriend are being as they are...an asshole and an annoyance" Chase explained with a growl. "I don't know why they always act like we're the worst beings ever! ACE HASN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING TO THEM!"
"Well, they're just too serious…" Tiffanie said. "They can't really help it…"
"Actually, they could if they stop being so negative all the time…" Ace said softly.
"Thank you!" Chase said. "He knows what's up!"
Tiffanie sighed. "I'd try to talk to them, but they're just too stubborn to listen…" she explained. "And Karen and I aren't really on good terms anyway, so it won't help."
"Well, I had to get out of there... " Chase said. "Autumn was telling me to get her food like I was her servant or something. I was gonna go anyway, but her bullshit attitude just annoys the hell out of me. I wanted to wake up Ace and just get him to come, but Autumn's bitch ass just scared him awake…"
Tiffanie rubbed the back of her head. "Well, I don't know what to say…"
"Hey...maybe the next time we lose, you can help us get rid of her!" Chase exclaimed.
"Um...I don't know", said Tiffanie. "I don't necessarily like targeting…"
"Well, don't consider it targeting...consider it...a favor", said Chase. "Please!"
Tiffanie sighed. "I'll see...I won't guarantee it, but I'll see…"
Ace and Chase exchanged looks before nodding. "Alright...but at least consider it...it would mean a lot…"
"Understood…" Tiffanie said, slightly nervous.
"Well, Ace and I are gonna stay out a bit longer…" said Chase. "You can go back to those annoying bitches if you want…"
Chase and Ace both continued walking into the forest, leaving Tiffanie to sigh.
000
Tiffanie: On one hand, I'm fine with getting rid of them. On the other hand, I'm about fairness, and targeting isn't fair. By that logic, Autumn and Karen aren't being fair at all...so I should eliminate them. But then, I wouldn't be playing fair.
*groans* This is just stupid…"
000
Sandra, Rocky, and Sherlock were inside of their shelter again, with Rocky looking very pleased as he ate a couple of berries. After Macey's elimination, Rocky has been much happier, and because of this, Sandra decided that it was time for her plans to come into action again.
"So...Rocky...since Macey's gone now, are you willing to go along with my plans again?"
Hearing that, Rocky sighed after swallowing the berries in his mouth. "Sandy, really?"
"We need to win this!" she exclaimed. "Macey's gone now, so come on! We need Kaia out of here!"
"No...you need Kaia out of here", Rocky corrected. "Personally, I like her. The only reason you want her gone is so you can have Jarred for yourself. Other than that, you have no other reason…"
"Well...THANKS FOR ANNOUNCING IT IN FRONT OF SHERLOCK!" she exclaimed.
Sherlock wasn't necessarily even paying attention, as all he could think about was Alpha. He KNEW that the computer spider was up to something, but he just didn't know what. No matter what he said or tried to prove, it was always debunked by something perceived to be the truth!
He groaned to himself, making Sandra unsure and Rocky give Sandra a look.
"He doesn't even care!" Rocky said. "Look, why don't you just calm down with the targeting and be glad that we're not losing!"
"Rocky…if we start winning again, that means that it's gonna be hard to deal with these guys in the merge!"
"Look at me…" Rocky said, placing his hands on his chest. "I'm pretty sure I'm screwed in the merge anyway, Sandy! People will see me as a threat just because I'm a Tyranitar!"
"Which is why we need to get rid of them before they get rid of us!"
Rocky groaned once again. "Sandy, I'm not-"
"If you say no, I'm throwing away your bottle cap collection when we get home!"
Hearing that made Rock's eyes widen and he grew a bit disheartened. "Y-You wouldn't! You know how much I care about them!"
"Look, I don't want to, but you need to just listen to me!"
"So...if I don't listen to you...you threaten to screw up something I love?"
"Rock, I just want you to think broadly. We have a chance to win if we do what I say!"
"Your way is targeting…" Rocky said.
"So what? That's how everyone plays this game!"
"That doesn't mean we have to!" Rocky exclaimed. "Look, I just want to keep winning right now since we have a good team. When and IF we make it to the merge, then you can do whatever you want…"
"Are you trying to make a deal!?"
"No, I'm TELLING you…" Rock said, folding his arms.
"You can't-"
"Yes I can, I'm bigger than you…"
"But I'm stronger and older", Sandra said, folding her arms. "So you really need to rethink your choice of words…"
"No…" Rocky said, folding his arms. "There's no point in targeting the people who are just trying to help us!"
Sandra groaned. "Fine, suit yourself. I'm gonna do what I want, so you can keep caring about these idiots, and I'LL win in the end."
"Whatever…" Rocky said, rolling his eyes as Sandra exited the shelter.
This time, Sherlock did acknowledge their presence and sighed. "Sibling rivalry is evident on both teams now...which is disappointing."
"Look, I don't want to go against her all the time, but her methods are just too unfair for me!" Rocky explained. "I get guilty and guilt haunts me for a long time! I can't handle it!"
"I understand, I can't stand my brother myself…"
"No, it's not that I can't stand her...it's just...I wish she was nicer…"
Outside, Sandra heard what he was saying and looked down in slight sadness.
000
Sandra: I just want to win for us. Just...as a thanks for taking care of me and just loving me…
I mean...I know I seem like a bitch, but I'm really not trying to be. You know what, fuck it! I'm gonna do what I need to, know matter what.
Hmm...maybe I can talk to Brian...
000
Brian was inside of his cave once again. With Macey now gone, he was much more relieved, but he had no assistant now. He was now alone.
He stared at the kittens on his large computer screen. "Such evil in the most cutest of faces. Maybe I need something to assist me in my evil doing that has a cute face as well…."
"Well...I'm here now", the Reuniclus heard, causing him to spin around in his chair and recoil back in surprise. It was Sandra.
"Female Sandshrew...why have you come back to my lair?" Brian asked. "My old assistant was launched from the elimination device…"
"Well…" she started, trying to come up with a lie. She knew Brian was all about 'evil', so she needed to pander to him in order to get him to believe her. "Well...I was wondering if I could become your NEW assistant."
"Really?" he asked with a smile. "What has brought this new attitude?"
"Well, to be honest...I was just following the other girls' lead…" Sandra lied. "I really want to win and I need help…"
"So...you want the help of evil?"
Sandra groaned in her head. "Yes…"
"Well, you've come to the right place", said Brian. "Evil shall help you...as long as you have no fantasies of the similar genders interacting in a promiscuous manner…"
"Don't worry, I'm not insane", Sandra said.
"Good...then welcome to evil!"
"Thanks…"
"CAMPERS! REPORT TO THE MEETING AREA IMMEDIATELY!"
"Time to go…" said Sandra.
000
Sandra: Great...now that I have this idiot on my side. It'll be a cinch to get rid of those other idiots…
000
Everyone made their way back to the main area and sat in their respective bleachers. Alpha floated down and ironically landed next to Sherlock, who growled.
"I missed your bullshit visit this morning...what happened?" asked Alpha.
Sherlock didn't even want to dignify that with a response, therefore he stayed quiet. Alpha smiled at that. He didn't have to hear any bullshit from him.
Mew and Victini appeared, both of them wearing lab coats and glasses.
"Hey look, nerds!" Taylor said, making almost everyone start laughing a bit.
"Uh huh, whatever…" said Victini. "Anyways, are you all ready for your challenge today?" he asked with a grin.
"With that signature grin of yours...no", Autumn said blankly.
"Well, too bad daughter of demon…"
Autumn growled angrily.
"Now, today's challenge will be all about EXPLOSIONS!" Mew said, actually faking his enthusiasm.
"Oh joy...we're gonna get blown up repeatedly", Alpha said sarcastically.
"Only if you fuck up…" Victini said. "Now, your challenge will consist of finding different platforms scattered around the island."
"On each platform are a set of chemicals that you will have to mix in order to get a positive effect", Mew explained. "What counts as a positive effect is simple..it's NOT an explosion…"
"How quaint…" said Tiffanie, folding her arms.
"Now, there are five platforms per team…" Mew continued. "The team that has the least amount of explosions done at the end will win…"
"Now...I am going to assume that you're not gonna tell us where the platforms are…" said Kaia.
"That is correct!" said Victini. "However, we will say that only a few of your platforms are close to each other, giving a lot of room for sabotage."
"Ooh...thanks for that tip…" Karen said, rolling her eyes.
"You're not welcome", said Victini. "Now, get going!"
"Wow, you're not gonna explain anything better are you?" asked Sandra. "How are we supposed to know…"
"They're tall, now leave", said Victini as he and Mew teleported away.
"Wonderful…" Sandra said, rolling her eyes.
000
The Reshirams rushed back to their cave to come up with an acceptable game plan. However, of course to two of them, with Chase, Rex, and Ace on the team, they were already set up for failure.
"So, we're going to lose this challenge…" said Autumn.
"What makes you think that?" asked Tiffanie.
"We have someone who's obsessed with being hurt and two useless losers...I think you can put two and two together…" said Karen.
"And we also have two judgemental, annoying bitches who think that they're hot shit", Chase growled. "You two aren't better than any of us!"
"Um...we're the serious ones on this team", Karen said, glaring at him. "You all aren't taking shit seriously."
"I bet you're a riot at parties…" Rex commented, making Taylor giggle a bit.
"Thanks for proving my point" Karen said.
"Look, just because we aren't high strung like you two doesn't mean we're the most terrible people ever!" Ace exclaimed, shocking everyone, including himself.
"Aww...look who's finally speaking for himself…" Autumn teased.
"Alright ENOUGH!" Tiffanie shouted, getting everyone's attention.
"Yes, let's all listen to the she-man…" said Karen.
Tiffanie gave her a look before focusing back. "Look, we have a CHALLENGE to do and you two putting us fucking down isn't gonna help shit! So just shut up and let us do the challenge!"
Autumn and Karen exchanged glances. "Okay…"
"Fine", Karen said.
"Thank you...now let's just-"
"BUT…" Karen continued, making Tiffanie growl to herself. "If we lose...we get to vote you out…"
"Wait WHAT?!" Chase exclaimed. "Okay, you two are REALLY trying to make us lose more aren't you!?"
"I WANT to win!" Karen said. "I'm just tired of her mouth…"
"Um...I think there's a group consensus that'll say that we're tired of YOU TWO", Rex added.
"Oh quiet self harm…" Autumn muttered.
"Come on", Taylor said. "You two really are getting annoying, honestly. Why would we get rid of one of the strongest people on our team just because she wants you two to stop well...shit talking the guys…"
Hearing that logic come back to her, Autumn sighed to herself. "Fine...you're right. We may actually have a chance..."
"I'm sorry, but because of you two, we probably DON'T have a chance at the moment…" said Chase.
"Shut the hell up and just go!" Autumn said. "We need to hurry. The other team may have a lead already."
"Split up!" Rex said.
000
"Alright, we can split up", said Kaia as her group gathered at their shelter. "Jarred, Jadia, and I will be one group. Sherlock and Alpha can be another-"
"WHAT?!" Sherlock exclaimed. "I can't work with-"
"You both are extremely smart and strong…" said Jarred. "But, we'll throw in Rocky to be a stabilizer…"
"Okay...I can deal with that…" Sherlock said.
"Of course you can…" Alpha said, rolling his eyes. "You won't be able to control your urges when alone with me…"
"I HAVE NO URGES!" Sherlock exclaimed, his cheeks burning red.
"Anyways…" Kaia said, moving on. "Roscoe and Essie, you two obviously together. And Sandra and Brian...you two are together…" she said, uncaring.
"Of course you pair yourself with my man…" Sandra said.
"You can't claim him!" Kaia growled.
"Kaia...Sandy...now's NOT the time!" Jarred shouted. "We have a challenge to win…"
Both girls glared at each other before looking away.
"Alright, we've got out groups, now let's go!"
000
Chase, Ace, and Tiffanie were walking into the forest, where they usually picked berries. After what happened in the cave, Chase was even more annoyed.
"Okay, so are you up for it or not?" he asked.
"What?" asked Tiffanie.
"You know what I'm talking about…" Chase stated.
Tiffanie sighed. "I don't like it…and we'll see after everything is over…."
"Come on!" said Chase. "They're being total bitches! Why do you care?!"
"I just have a thing against targeting and going along with some plans…" Tiffanie explained.
Chase groaned to himself before sighing. "Well, I can't force you to do anything...but like I said earlier. It'd mean a lot if you'd consider…"
"I know…" Tiffanie said softly.
Feeling a bit of tension, Ace decided to break it. "Um...maybe we should look up in the trees to get a better view…" he said sheepishly.
"Yeah, that's a good idea!" Tiffanie said as she immediately leapt up on a tree branch and continued doing so.
Ace used his ribbons to start climbing up as well. Chase climbed up after the two of them. Sure, he was a good climber, but still...it was a bit difficult.
After only approximately 30 to 45 seconds, Tiffanie made it to one of the top branches and started getting a better view. A few seconds later, Ace came up after her, panting.
"Well...do you see anything?" asked Ace.
Tiffanie started looking around from the newer height. From that height, she only saw the tops of trees and a few mountains in the distance. "No...not really."
Chase was panting a bit as he made it up. He started looking around himself and surprisingly saw something small around the beach and another thing in the direction they had just come from.
"Um...okay, I think there's one by the beach...and where we just came from", he explained.
Ace and Tiffanie exchanged looks before eyeing the Flareon with confused expressions. How could he have seen what they couldn't?
"Um...how do you see it?"
"I have good eyesight..." he said simply while continuing to look around. "I say that we should go to the beach before the other team gets there."
"Well, we need to hurry and make sure that it's actually our platform as well, so…" Ace started.
"Yeah, let's go", said Tiffanie as she jumped down, followed by Ace. Chase groaned as he climbed down himself.
000
Kaia, Jadia, and Jarred looked around the junkyard to begin. This was going to be their first place to look from now on, mainly because of Luther's area.
"Alright, Victini said that they were tall...and this place is huge…" said Jarred before he looked to Jadia. He was going to suggest that she could fly up and get an aerial view, but he remembered that she didn't like heights or flying that much.
She was only floating close to the ground and she she would even walk sometimes, but actually flying was a no-no.
"Hmm...we need to find a way to see the entire junkyard…" said Kaia, looking around. "None of us can fly, well, Jadia, you're afraid, so…"
Jadia blushed in embarrassment. "S-Sorry…"
"No problem. I wouldn't do something I'm uncomfortable with either", Jarred explained. "I'll see if I can get a better view."
"You can fly?" asked Kaia jokingly.
"No, but I can see if I make it high enough", Jarred started, holding his chin. He started looking around the piles to see the largest one. Once he did, he drilled underground and appeared at the top of the pile.
Getting a clearer and broader view, he was able to see a wooden platform near the back of the junkyard. He sighed to himself at the far distance before hopping back down into the hole he created.
Popping his head back out of the hole near the girls, he had a neutral expression. "Okay...good news and...kinda bad news…"
"Lay it on us…" Jadia said, sighing dismally.
"The good news is that I found a platform...the bad news is that it's all the way in the back of the junkyard…"
"Oh, that's not really bad at all. It's just a little walk…" said Kaia, hopping on his head. "I thought
you were gonna say that it was a difficult path or something…"
"Well, I was gonna just drill my way there, which is why I said it was bad news…" Jarred chuckled.
"Why don't we just follow you in your tunnel?" asked Jadia.
"You girls aren't afraid of being dirty are you?"
"We can bathe in the water after we get this one", said Kaia. "It's not a big deal…"
"Well alright then…" Jarred said, ducking back into the hole he was in, bringing Kaia with him. "Come on Jadia."
The Jumpluff floated down into the hole, landing on her feet, and started to walk as Jarred drilled forward quickly. This allowed Kaia and Jadia time to talk a bit more.
"So...how long do you think you'll actually be willing to go with your 'friends with benefits' thing before you lose it?" asked Jadia.
Kaia giggled. "What? I'm strong minded. Plus, I'm focused on the game more than romance, so we'll be fine."
"You sure?" asked Jadia. "Because if you were really focused on the game more...you wouldn't have gotten defensive after what Sandra said."
Kaia blushed before shaking it off. "Well, she can't just claim a guy who's obviously taking a liking to someone else as yours."
"But if you're not together and you're just friends...doesn't that give her an opening?" Jadia urged on.
Thinking about it, she growled softly. She was right. While she focused on the game and occasionally on Jarred, Sandra could actually end up convincing him to be with her!
"Well, even if we DO start dating, I doubt Sandra will give a fuck…" Kaia said as they continued walking.
"Yeah, but she's been kissing Jarred, too and he hasn't been really putting up a struggle", Jadia added. "I think you need to hop on it fast, maybe he'll actually start fighting back, then…"
Kaia sighed softly. "I'll think about it…"
"Alright...if you say so…" said Jadia as they continued walking.
"Girls, you coming?" they heard as an echo.
They looked forward and saw that they were very far back.
"Shit, he really is fast…" said Jadia.
"I hope that speed doesn't carry over to…" Kaia started before stopping and laughing. "Nevermind…"
"For someone who is supposed to be a bit clean and focused on the game, you sure do get dirty…" said Jadia.
"Hey, I'm a tomboy, I don't have to stick to it severely…"
"Oh...so you SHOULD be telling Jarred that you two are gonna date…" Jadia urged, making Kaia groan.
"Fine, if we actually start dating, will you stop trying to egg us on?" asked Kaia with a smirk.
"Maybe…"
Kaia rolled her eyes before they started running and floating to the end of the tunnel.
000
Karen and Autumn were walking, well Karen was floating, towards Mew and Victini's trailer, which was located in one of the points on the island. The middle right one to be exact.
"Why are we going here again?" asked Karen.
"They do all of their planning and stuff in their trailers, so they should have something about this challenge there…"
"Wait...we're cheating?" asked Karen.
"Look, I know it sounds bad, but we have literally NO other options. Our team fucking sucks!" Autumn explained.
Karen understood her stress and her point, but really? Cheating? That was low. She was a serious competitor and had a low tolerance for foolishness, but she still wouldn't cheat unless she really felt hopeless. Sure, she talked about it in previous challenges, but still. Well, she wouldn't do what SHE considered cheating, but this was something.
"Autumn, come on…" said Karen. "This isn't right. I want to win as much as you do, but this really isn't the way."
"Yes it is!" Autumn retorted with a growl. "We won last time and it feels good to not lose!"
"But if we lose, doesn't that mean we have a higher chance by getting rid of the rest of the idiots?" asked Karen, a bit taken aback from Autumn's outburst.
Autumn growled to herself. She was right, and that was their plan anyway. However, victory was way more important to her.
"I'd rather win, but if we still lose after this somehow, I won't do it again…" she said.
"But, if-"
"I'm going to do this anyway, no matter what you say…" Autumn admitted as she continued walking towards the trailer.
Karen groaned.
-000-
Autumn went into the trailer once they approached it. Luckily, the door was open. Seeing this, Karen groaned as she floated outside.
After a while, Autumn hadn't come out, making Karen worried. She gulped in fear before going inside and seeing that Autumn wasn't there. However, she heard a bit of noise in the back. She looked around the inside of the trailer and sighed before going to where she heard the noise.
Heading to the back, she eventually found Autumn in a room with two-drawer filing cabinets, six to be exact. Five were already open with files and papers scattered everywhere, while she started working on the sixth one.
"Autumn, what the hell are you doing?!"
"I was right!" she responded as she opened it.
"Right about what?"
"All of those cabinets have information about all of the other seasons' competitors and the challenges!" Autumn explained. "So, they have to have our shit as well!"
She pulled out the bottom drawer and started searching through the files until she eventually found the one she thought was the most relevant. "Here we go…" she said, pulling out a piece of paper.
Karen floated over and looked at the paper Autumn was holding. There, they saw ten different circles on different areas of the island.
"Okay, I think the white represents us, since we're Reshirams…" Autumn inferred.
"Looks that way considering the other circles are black", Karen stated.
"Alright...looks like our platforms are…"
000
Roscoe and Esmeralda went to the cliff they were brought to when they first arrived.
"Darn it...there's nothing here…" said Roscoe, looking around.
"Wait...I think I see one by the beach!" Esmeralda shouted softly.
Roscoe walked over and looked towards where she was looking and saw that she was right!
"Good eye!"
Esmeralda smiled softly at him before hearing his tone change.
"Oh crap…" he said, still looking down.
Esmeralda looked back down and noticed what he was looking at. They saw Chase, Tiffanie, and Ace running towards the platform first.
"We need to go!" Roscoe exclaimed as jumped and started sliding down the side of the cliff. Esmeralda followed his lead and slid down after him.
-000-
Ace, Tiffanie, and Chase made it to the beach and immediately started climbing the ladder. They made it up and saw that there were three test tubes and two beakers filled with liquids on the side and a flask with a white powdery substance was in the middle. Upon closer inspection of the table with the test tubes, they saw that it was in fact...the Zekroms'.
"Fuck!" Chase growled.
"Aw...does this mean we have to go check the one all the way back near the cave?" asked Ace.
"I guess so…" said Tiffanie, rubbing the back of her head.
"Well I ain't giving them any satisfaction for this shit!" said Chase, seeing Roscoe and Esmeralda rushing towards them.
Chase grabbed all of the liquid and poured them all in simultaneously.
"Chase...what are you doing?!" Ace exclaimed.
The flask started bubbling like mad, urging Chase to growl softly. "JUMP!"
Chase, Ace, and Tiffanie immediately jumped off as fireworks shot into the air and exploded into sparks.
"What the-"
"AND THE ZEKROMS GET THEIR FIRST POINT THANKS TO CHASE!"
"Fuck off!" Chase exclaimed angrily. "I didn't try to!"
"Wait...I thought they said that some of the things would cause an explosion. All of that shouldn't have happened!" Tiffanie said.
"Let's not go in depth…" Chase suggested, feeling a bit sad. "When things one and two hear about this, they're never gonna let me hear the end of it…"
"Hey, don't worry…" Tiffanie said, nudging him. "You'll be fine…"
Ace nuzzled him before kissing Chase's cheek. "It was an accident. If we lose, I wouldn't vote for you…"
Chase chuckled. "I'm glad…"
Ace giggled back. "Well, come on...we have a long walk ahead of us…"
As they started heading towards where they came, Roscoe and Esmeralda had looks of brief astonishment. Was it that bad on their team?
000
Roscoe: Wow, one mistake and they're talking about elimination? Man, I feel bad for them…
Esmeralda: I know, and they seem like nice, useful players.
Roscoe: I guess their teammates don't think so...
000
Taylor and Rex were in Rex's underground tunnel system. Why they were still down there, only Rex knew, as he was the one who told Taylor to follow him. Obviously, he didn't mind; he didn't want his team to win anyway, but he still needed to act concerned.
"Why are we down here, babe?" asked Taylor. "Shouldn't we be helping everyone out on the high ground?"
"We are…" Rex said, causing Taylor to have a confused expression.
"How does being down here-"
Suddenly, Rex burrowed upwards, startling Taylor a bit.
"Um...so I guess I have to follow him…" Taylor muttered to himself. He didn't know how to really get up there, but somehow he'd have to.
He suddenly thought of a way to get out. He blasted a Hydro Pump at the ground and tried to propel himself through the hole. Sadly, it didn't work and he hit the ceiling beside the hole. He dropped back onto the floor and groaned.
Suddenly, he felt his tail being grabbed and dragged. He looked and saw that it was Rex's tail dragging him before sighing.
-000-
Rex brought Taylor up and surprisingly, they were right in front of a platform. Taylor screamed in anger in his head.
"You found it!" he exclaimed through semi-grit teeth.
"Yeah….though I've been thinking and...I think we should just lose more", Rex said.
Taylor's right eye twitched. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT ANYWAY! He seemed to have forgotten that they were sabotaging the team. Taylor couldn't even lie, though; he forgot a few times as well from being too involved with him.
"You do remember that we were supposed to be doing that ANYWAY, right?" Taylor asked with a growl.
"...Oops…" Rex said, looking back at the platform.
Taylor sighed. "It's too late now…" he growled. "Let's just hope for the explosion…"
The two of them were far away from their cave, near the hot point of the island. They started climbing up the now warm ladder and made it to the chemicals.
"Alright, now let's hope that we fuck this up…" said Taylor. "I want Tiffanie gone…"
"Wait...what?" asked Rex. "I was thinking Autumn or Karen!"
"No, no…" Taylor said. "Those idiots will be fun to watch destroy each other. Tiffanie is a threat and she's the odd one out."
"Well...alright, I guess…"
"Good boy…" he said, kissing Rex's cheek. "Now, let's do this…"
"I'll do it!" Rex said, taking over. "Hopefully it blows up in my face…"
Rex knocked the chemicals against the flask, causing a spark. Taylor's eyes widened and he attempted to jump off when-
BOOOOOOOOOM!
The entire platform exploded! Rex and Taylor were both covered in soot, with broken wood surrounding them.
"Well...it worked…" Taylor muttered before falling unconscious.
000
Alpha, Rocky, and Sherlock were walking near the abandoned shipwreck section of the island. None of them had seen this area and Rocky was actually pretty eager to explore it a bit.
"AND THE RESHIRAMS START OFF POORLY THANKS TO REX!"
"Those poor poor, idiots…" Alpha said apathetically.
"Hey, they probably have bad luck…" said Rocky as he approached the beach area.
"Bad luck or not, their loss is our gain…" Alpha as he was the first to step foot on the new sandy area.
"Well...this is something…" said Alpha, looking around.
"Cool ship!" Rocky exclaimed as he rushed towards it, with Sherlock walking up behind him.
"How old are you again?" Alpha asked rather apprehensively. Rocky ignored the brash question and continued towards the ship.
He sighed in annoyance before glancing towards Sherlock, who was still giving him the silent treatment. The Alakazam jerked his head away with his arms folded, which...didn't really affect Alpha at all.
"Uh huh...while you act like an angry, jealous girlfriend, I'm actually going to try to be useful…" he said.
Hearing that, Sherlock growled angrily. "Fine, you piece of shit!"
"What was that, stalker?" he asked.
"FUCK YOU!"
"I'm sure that you'd enjoy that, so I'm gonna say no…" the Metagross said, retracting his legs and starting to fly down towards the ship as well.
Sherlock clenched his fists in complete anger before taking a deep breath and calming down. After quick, deep thoughts Sherlock FINALLY got that this was Alpha's way of rendering him powerless and making him go mad. It was also taking his focus off of what Alpha was up to for a short while. Clever, but now he was done playing and he was focused once again. He would have to try to not fall for the metallic spider's tricks again. He was a skilled deducer, but that didn't mean he didn't have the same 'dumb moments' as everyone else.
He walked down towards the ship, following the two of them. He honestly had no idea why they were still staying there, considering there was no sign of a platform in sight.
As he approached them, he saw that Alpha was watching Rocky mess around and explore the partially destroyed ship.
"So, you enjoying the shipwreck?" Alpha asked sarcastically.
Rocky ignored him and actually tossed the rotten corpse of something that resembled a human at him.
"What the hell?" Sherlock asked as he came up.
"When you get close, take a few steps to the side", said Alpha.
"Don't worry, idiot. I wouldn't dream of touching you…" Sherlock muttered.
"Good. Now prove it by moving away from me…" Alpha demanded.
Sherlock easily made a bit of distance between them while still standing around the same area. He looked down at the 'human' corpse and held his chin. "I thought all of the humans disappeared in the world."
"Whatever happened probably missed a few…" Alpha suggested, not really caring. He looked back at the Tyranitar that was acting like he was steering the wheel inside of the ship. "Um, Rock-a-bye Baby, shouldn't we be leaving!? There's no platform around here!"
"Leave me alone!" Rocky shouted back.
"Yep...Sandra's definitely the older one…" Alpha muttered.
"Can you not be an ass to him?" asked Sherlock. "He's having fun, let him be."
"I'm sorry, but last time I checked, this is a competition", Alpha emphasized. "Fun's not a necessity."
Rocky picked up a telescope. He held it to his eye and looked out at the water. When he did, e actually noticed something standing in the middle of it. Upon closer inspection, he thought that it resembled a platform, which they were looking for.
"Guys! There's a platform all the way out there!" Rocky said, pointing to the water while putting down the telescope.
"What?" asked Sherlock. "Let me see."
Rocky tossed him the telescope and upon looking for himself, he too saw the platform in the open water.
"Oh for fuck's sake…" he muttered. "Alpha, you're gonna need to go out there and pour the chemicals…"
"Um...why me and not you?" asked Alpha. "You can float, too…"
"Wow, you say you're the smartest and strongest, yet you don't want to prove it…" Sherlock said, attempting to egg him on and trick him.
"Nice try, dumbass", Alpha muttered. "I'm not stupid like you. However, I WILL go just to make us win another point…"
He retracted his legs again and started flying towards the platform in the middle of the water.
-000-
Upon landing on the platform, he was semi-glad to find that it was really their platform.
"Alright...let's oversee the bullshit…" he said, looking at the flask. There were metal fragments inside. Scanning over it, he realized that it was potassium.
"Potassium, huh?" he asked before looking at the test tubes and beakers on the side. A few of the fluids were clear, but still had a different color.
"Potassium doesn't go with water, so let's see…"
He started smelling the fluids and saw that a few of them had pungent and sour odors. Upon smelling another one, he noticed that it was odorless.
"Okay, so that's the water…" he said. Looking at one of the foul smelling liquids, he confidently used a bit of telekinesis to pour it inside of the flask.
The concoction bubbled a bit and overflowed before stopping and popped confetti out of the top.
"THE ZEKROMS HAVE THEIR SECOND PLATFORM FINISHED!"
Alpha smirked to himself.
000
Karen and Autumn were heading towards the hole they fell down for the pit challenge.
"Alright, the paper said that here, behind the cave, somewhere in the forest, near the hot spot, and in the water in the front of the beach…"
The girls finally made it to the hole and upon looking down, they saw a platform at the bottom.
"Wow...this really IS working…" said Karen. "But how are we supposed to get down there?"
"Well, you can float down there and do it and hope that there's no explosion..." said Autumn suggested.
"And if there IS an explosion?" asked Karen.
"Then I'll take the next one…" Autumn said. "Now, get going, please."
Karen rolled her eyes before floating down to the bottom of the hole.
-000-
Upon making it, she looked over the chemicals and flask.
"Um...so...what am I going to do?" Karen asked herself.
She looked over the chemicals yet again. Now, karen was intelligent, but she didn't know what these chemicals were or what they did, so she was having trouble.
She hesitantly looked back and forth at the chemicals and flask before hesitantly grabbing one of the test tubes and pouring the yellow substance into the flask.
There was a bit of a spark and she began floating away when-
ZOOOOOOO-BOOOOOOOOOM!
Fireworks popped out, lighting the sky.
"AND THE RESHIRAMS GET A POINT!"
"We did it, let's go!" Autumn said as she and Karen started hurrying towards their cave.
It took them about five minutes before they actually made it to the area their cave was near. Looking to the side, they saw another platform and they both gained smiles. However, the smiles turned to frowns once they saw Tiffanie, Chase, and Ace running up to it.
After hearing what Chase had done, both of them were displeased and wanted nothing to do with them. They decided to confront them and also see their progress.
"Hey!" Autumn growled as she ran over to them, followed by Karen.
-000-
Looking over towards the source of the exclamation, Chase immediately groaned to himself. "Great…"
Autumn and Karen made it up to to them as Tiffanie started climbing the ladder of the platform. "What the hell did you do?" Autumn asked angrily.
"I tried to sabotage, but it didn't work…" Chase explained mockingly.
"Oh...so you were trying to cheat…" Karen said.
"We deserve to win more!" Chase exclaimed.
"You're definitely gone when we lose…" Autumn growled.
"Go fuck yourself" Chase responded. It was an accident and you're talking about elimination. If anything, you two deserve to go for your bullshit attitudes."
"We're the serious ones, dumbass. Call it bullshit, but it's the right way to act…" Autumn retorted.
"Please, being serious all the time doesn't do anything but make you look like a bitch…" Chase responded.
"How many times do I have to same I AM A BITCH!?"
Suddenly, the platform exploded, covering them in soot and making wood hit them.
"THE RESHIRAMS HAVE EXPLODED ONCE AGAIN!"
Autumn coughed as the smoke mildly dissipated. Tiffanie groaned as she sat up, rubbing her head in the process.
"What happened!?" Karen exclaimed.
"I grabbed the wrong chemical…" Tiffanie explained with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Well you probably just cost us the challenge", Karen said. "I hope you're proud."
"There you two go again…" said Chase. "Just shut up!"
"Whatever", Autumn said, standing up. "Come on, let's get to the beach…"
"We just came from the beach. That was the other team's!"
"There's another one, for your information…" Autumn said, passing by him, smacking him with her tail in the process.
"And how do you know?" asked Ace.
"That's none of your fucking business, now is it?" asked Autumn as she and Karen continued towards the beach.
"Bitches…"
000
Brian and Sandra were back at the the Reuniclus' cave, with Sandra being a bit annoyed with him already.
"Alright Brian, shouldn't we be looking for platforms so that we can try to win?" asked Sandra.
"I thought that you were going against this vile team of ours?" Brian asked.
Hearing that, Sandra realized that he was right. Why would she actually try to win for a team that was already too strong?
"Well...what are we going to do, then?" she asked.
"As my assistant, you have the duty of helping me create my inventions that will allow me to achieve world domination!" Brian exclaimed before giving an evil laugh.
Sandra rolled her eyes. "So...what inventions do you have?"
"Well…" Brian said, as he got out of his chair and floated to a corner. He pressed a button, revealing a space with a single cube inside. He poked the cube and about seven different inventions came out. Among them were his 'Opposite Machine' and his 'Mind Control Device'.
"Um...so..what are these things?" she asked, picking up a ray with an arrow tip at the end.
"That...is a KNOCKOUT RAY!" Brian announced. "Well, it's supposed to be...it makes flowers grow instead."
He grabbed the ray and fired it at the ground, making a set of flowers appear. He tossed it back down towards the others.
"Well, what about this one…" she said, picking up a saw-like contraption. There were three buttons on the bottom of it, near the handle.
"That's a lightning rod, somehow…" he explained, a bit depressedly.
"Okay...so these are all lame…" Sandra concluded, dropping that one as well.
"Which is why you're going to be helping me…." Brian explained. "Now...what are some ideas?"
"Maybe...make an...evil ray", Sandra said randomly.
"Ooh...an evil ray…" Brian said. "What would be its function?"
"Uh…." Sandra started as she thought of something that could help her. "Make someone evil!"
"Excellent...that way I can have an army of evil minions who'll obey my every command!" Brian cheered. "Thank you assistant. You have proved yourself to be a better one than the last."
"Yeah...thanks…" Sandra said, not really caring for the compliment.
000
Sandra: If I can get Rocky on our side, everything will be fine. He'll go along with anything we say without issue…
000
"Well...that was a failure…" said Taylor as he and Rex slithered towards the forest.
"What do we do now?" asked Rex.
"I don't know…" Taylor replied. "We're not trying to win, so…"
"Hey, we can still find the platforms, we can just blow them up when we do…" Rex explained.
Taylor sighed and kissed him. "I love you…"
Rex smiled back. "Well, let's go and find-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
They felt the vibrations of an explosion from about a mile away.
"What the hell was that!?" Taylor asked.
-000-
"Well...that worked", Alpha said sarcastically, eyeing Sherlock and Rocky, who were both covered in soot and groaning
"Next time why don't you let me do the work?"
"AND BY AN UNFORESEEN COINCIDENCE, ROCK, SHERLOCK, ALPHA, JARRED, KAIA, AND JADIA HAVE GUARANTEED THEIR TEAM'S WIN!"
"Wait...what?"
000
Everyone was brought back to the middle, where the Reshirams were looking very angry.
"What the fuck happened!?" Autumn growled.
"Well, first, the platform that Alpha and the others blew up was YOURS", Victini started.
They growled at Alpha and the others.
"Secondly, Jarred, Kaia, and Jadia FINALLY decided to work on the platform in the junkyard…" Mew said.
"Hey, it was nerve wrecking!" Kaia exclaimed.
"And thirdly...Karen and Autumn CHEATED, making any platform that they did invalid…" Mew said.
"You WHAT?!" Chase exclaimed angrily, turning to them. "You talk shit about us, when you two are fucking cheaters? Okay...we'll see what happens tonight…"
"Shut the hell up!" Autumn growled. "You're all shitty teammates!"
"Says the girl who cheated…" Ace said, shockingly. "Shitty teammates cheat and good teammates try their hardest and DON'T PUT EACH OTHER DOWN!"
"SHUT UP FAG!"
Chase blasted a Flamethrower towards her, which she dodged and retaliated with a tackle.
"Here they go again…" Rex commented.
"Easy catdogs…" Victini said, separating the two. "We'll handle this with the votes."
"I hate you!" Autumn shouted angrily.
"Go fuck yourself, bitch!" Chase snarled.
"Well, this will be interesting…." Mew said.
000
At the elimination, the Reshirams were all glaring at each other.
"Man, things just get more and more tense for you guys don't they?" Victini asked.
"Shut up and just tally the votes…" Autumn growled.
"Eager to get blown away, huh?" Chase asked with a sneer.
"No, that'd be you…"
"Alright, you know the drill…" Mew said. "Rex...Taylor...Ace...Karen...Chase...and Autumn, you guys are all safe. Meaning the one going home is...Tiffanie!"
"WHAT!? Chase, Ace, Autumn, and Karen exclaimed simultaneously.
Tiffanie stood up. "Sorry guys, but I just can't stand this anymore. All of your arguing and negativity is annoying and discouraging…"
"Wait...you voted yourself?" asked Chase. "Then who else-?"
Rex and Taylor looked away sheepishly, which the others noticed.
-000-
Tiffanie was inside of the cannon.
"Fire in the hole!" Victini shouted.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tiffanie screamed as she was fired.
"Well, that really was interesting…" said Mew.
"We'll see how long this lasts…" said Victini.
000
And...Tiffanie is gone. Well...crap. Well, Autumn really is Shade's daughter isn't she? She and Chase keep going at it, which is rather sad. Sandra is now Brian's assistant...and she's trying to get Rocky in with her. That's a bit too scummy. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you next time on Total...Pokemon:...Parafrosyni Island! See ya guys, BYE!
