Hey everyone! I know what you all are thinking. I know, I should have been uploading a lot more since I wasn't in school for the summer, but even though I wasn't in school, I was still pretty busy. However, no matter how busy I was, I was always thinking about this chapter and this challenge, which is a real doozy of a challenge if I say so myself. This chapter took a lot of planning too, and technically I am uploading this in the summer. Better late than never! Lol Alright! On with chapter 21! Enjoy!
The camera points at Chris as he is seated in his trailer that is trailing the Total Drama Double-Decker and the pickup that's hauling the trailer.
"Last time on Total Drama Avengeance!" the Host started as the picture changed to show the events of the previous episode as Chris described them.
"We had a mystery on our hands!" (Shows Sierra and Izzy being unmasked after being captured)
"The Double Decker was sabotaged by a trio of mystery people…" (Shows the bus being fixed by mechanics)
"…Two of which, turned out to be Sierra and Izzy." (Shows the two girls being guarded by Christopher and Sam)
"The third one, who hid somewhere in the auto shop, had to be found…" (Shows Chris interrogating Sierra)
"…So I got the contestants to do it as a challenge! Ha-ha!" (Shows Chris telling the contestants what the challenge is)
"Both teams searched everywhere they could, but the Old Team managed to find the third person first, thanks to Ezekiel's enhanced sense of smell." (Shows Ezekiel tracking down the mystery person with his nose, and then chasing her out of her hiding spot)
"The New Team tried to catch the person in a trap, but it was destroyed in a series of events that the Three Stooges would be proud of. Ha-ha!" (Shows Brick being thrown into a rope, which causes a fishing net to fall on three of the New Team girls)
"With the New Team out of the picture, Ezekiel, aka Rex, easily took down the third mystery chick." (Shows Ezekiel running on all fours, jumping over the net, and tackling the mystery person)
"After tying her up, and ripping off a few masks, it turned out that Blaineley was the brains of the trio." (Shows all of the times that Blaineley was unmasked)
The picture focuses back on Chris in his trailer.
"She said that she cut the brake line on the bus so that everyone would be too hurt to continue the season and then she would be the only one available to host the show. But, I know that she really did it because she has a huge schoolgirl crush on yours truly. Isn't that right, new intern?" He asked as he looked to his right.
The camera pans over to reveal that his new intern, Sierra, is filing his fingernails.
"Uh…Sure, Mr. McLean! Everything you say is 100% correct!" she replied.
"Wow! You are such an improvement over that other guy. What was his name? Steve? Stan? Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen? Eh, I've already forgotten. Oh! Speaking of the old intern, his girlfriend, Dakota, was eliminated, but that's the past. Now, we're heading somewhere, but where we're heading doesn't matter for this challenge. In fact, the challenge is going to start without the contestants even knowing. Confused yet?"
"A little bit," Sierra answered.
"I wasn't asking you, intern..." Chris said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Anyway, if you're confused, don't worry. All will be explained soon, on this episode of…"
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Avengeance!"
*Theme Song*
It was completely dark for a few seconds. Suddenly, daylight was shown in an oval shape, as if it was from the perspective of someone who was opening their eyes, which it was.
"Ugh! My head," Noah said as he lifted his head up. "It feels heavier than usual, like there's a boulder in it."
He got up onto his bear feet and looked around to see where he was. Noah was on a beach, made obvious by the large amounts of sand and ocean water crashing onto the sand.
"Where is everyone else?" the apparent Know-It-All asked himself. "Better yet, where am I?!"
He put his hand to his chin and started surveying the area again. However, he noticed that his hand felt hairy. Noah then looked at his hands and saw that they were actually bear paws.
"Why am I wearing fake bear paws?"
He tried to pull the bear paws off, but they weren't coming off. Also, they were starting to hurt.
"Wait…these are real!" Noah realized. "Ok. This screams Virtual Reality Machine."
The Bookworm-turned-Bear looked around again and noticed a small pool of water.
"A random pool of water so I can see my reflection. How convenient," he said as he started making his way to the puddle.
Once he got to the puddle, Noah looked down at it and saw his reflection, and his new face. His ears were circular and on top of his round head. Also, besides his new brown fur, he also had a beige-colored crescent shape on his forehead and a tan muzzle around his mouth. Seeing his new face, he had come to a new realization.
"I'm not just a bear!" he shouted in shock, "I'm a…a…a-"
Outside of Jamestown, Virginia
Chris was laughing hysterically as he watched Noah realize what he was transformed into on one of the VR Machine's screen.
"Oh man! I'm so glad I made Noah turn into a Teddiursa! Best idea I've ever had," he said to himself before turning to the camera. "In case some of you viewers don't know what a Teddiursa is, it is a Pokémon. That means that today's challenge is going to be centered on Pokémon, but I'm not gonna tell you exactly what it is. You guys will have to wait until I announce it to the contestants. That will be coming up in a while, but for now, let's see who else is waking up. Chef, if you would be so kind?"
Chef, who was sitting at a control panel on the VR Machine, pressed a button. The picture on the screens suddenly changed from Noah the Teddiursa to a small bird with brown feathers on its face and red wings.
In Virtual Reality
The bird hopped along the beach as she made her way to…somewhere.
"I have so many questions right now. Where's Mike? Why am I a Spearow? And where the heck am I?" Zoey asked herself.
"Zoey? Is that you?" a familiar voice asked from close by.
"Brick? Yeah, it's me!"
She started hopping towards the sound of Brick's voice while he was running towards the sound of her voice. Once they found each other, they were both shocked to see their transformations.
"Wow! You're a Machop, Brick!" Zoey told her teammate.
"I'm a what?" the transformed Cadet asked in confusion.
"You're not much of a Pokémon fan, are you?"
"I watched it a little when I was younger, but it wasn't really interesting to me."
"Well, you might need to learn some things, because I'm pretty sure this is our challenge," she said as she gestured to herself.
"Alright! Since you seem to know a lot more than me, you can teach me some things while we look for the rest of the contestants."
"Sounds like a plan! Let's get moving."
They started walking along the beach in the same direction that Zoey was headed.
"Ok, first question," Brick said as they walked. "Why am I naked?"
The female Spearow giggled in response to her teammate's question as they continued their search.
Meanwhile, two other contestants have found each other elsewhere. However, unlike Zoey and Brick, they weren't teammates.
"Wow! You look so…so…CUTE!" Katie was heard saying to a yellow-furred, red-cheeked mouse-like animal.
"Thanks," Mike's voice was heard out of the electric mouse's mouth, "You look pretty cute yourself, Katie, except for that snot hanging out of your nose."
The view was changed to show Katie's new body. She was a small polar bear cub with white fur from the neck down, and light blue fur on her head. Like Mike said, she had a permanent drop of blue snot hanging off of her black nose.
"I know, it's disgusting," she said nasally, "But, I can't get rid of it."
"It's not that bad. It's probably just part of your new Pokémon body's design or something," he deducted. "I'm not too sure which one you are though."
"Well, I definitely know what Pokémon you are, Mr. Pikachu!" the polar bear cub replied with a giggle.
Mike chuckled in response.
"Yeah, even people who don't know anything about Pokémon can recognize Pikachu. I have to say, it feels cool to be the mascot of a popular animated franchise."
"Speaking of popular franchises, I wonder if the rest of the contestants are, like, in here too."
"Well, since we're both on different teams and we're here, I'm gonna guess so. We should probably look for them."
Katie the Cubchoo nodded before they started their search.
"AWOOOOO!"
"What the heck are you doing? It's not even nighttime yet," said a small, green bag-like creature that sounded like Justin.
"I knoo, but it just feels so right, eh," said a small grey and black wolf-like creature that sounded like Ezekiel.
"Ugh! Why did I have to get stuck with you?" Justin asked himself with his "arm" covering his eyes in despair. With the Model-Turned-Green-Bag-Creature not looking, Ezekiel was about to bite him, until…
"HEEEY! OVER HERE!" They heard someone yell.
"Hey, that's Tyler!" Ezekiel said before he could attack Justin. He then started to run towards the sound of his friend's voice. Once the little wolf-like creature got to the source of the voice, he was surprised to see a small dinosaur-like creature and a flying honeycomb with three faces.
"Tyler? Is that you, eh?"
"Zeke! You're a Poochyena! Awesome!" said the little dinosaur creature that sounded like Tyler.
"I'm a what?" the confused Ezekiel asked.
"A Poochyena! You're a Dark-type third generation Pokémon," Tyler explained.
"Poke-a-man?"
"Hey Homeschool! Did you find…? Oh you did," Justin said as he walked towards the group of Pokémon.
"Justin? Wow! You're a Trubbish! Sweet!"
"I'm a what?!" the confused and slightly angry Justin asked.
"Ugh! You better explain to these two idiots what we are, Tyler. Otherwise, we'll be here forever," the flying honeycomb said with Eva's voice.
"Eva? What the heck are you supposed to be?" Justin the Trubbish asked.
"Apparently, I'm a Combee."
"A what?" both Justin and Ezekiel asked at the same time.
"…Tyler, please explain what we are, before I sting these two idiots in the face."
"Sure thing! I'll start with myself. I am a Cranidos, a Rock-type fourth generation Pokémon, and..."
"Awww…dude…" Geoff said as he put his yellow hands to his head, "I've got the gnarliest of headaches."
The view of Geoff pans out to show that he is now a yellow, chubby, bi-pedal duck with three follicles of black hair on top of his head. The view also shows that he is walking alongside a dark purple, floating cloth creature with a round head with a point on top of it.
"Hey B, do you have any ideas for getting rid of this mondo-sized headache, bro?"
The floating cloth creature that was B (which would have been impossible to know if he didn't have a convenient sign hanging from his horn that read, "I am B") shook his head.
"Oh well. Maybe we could find someone who knows how to get rid of it," Geoff said while continuing to hold his head. "Speaking of finding people, I think I see someone on top of that hill!"
Both Geoff and B rushed up the hill to meet whoever was up there. Once they got to the top, they saw a small green creature with three leaves sticking out from the top of its round head and stubs that act as arms and legs. As soon as they got up there, the creature turned and saw them.
"B!" the plant creature yelled happily with Dawn's voice. She ran towards B and tried to wrap her stubby arms around his neck.
"Dawn? Is that really you?" Geoff questioned.
"Yes, Geoff! I seem to be a living onion bulb creature. While you seem to be a psychic duck with a massive migraine, and B seems to be a floating cloth ghost."
Both B and Geoff just stared at her for a few moments.
"I think you just made my headache get even bigger, dudette," he replied in pain.
"Don't worry, Geoff. I'm sure that everything will make more sense once Chris tells us what the challenge is," Dawn assured the Party Duck.
Outside of Jamestown, Virginia
Chris, Chef Hatchet, and Sierra watched the screen, that showed Geoff, Dawn, and B meeting up, from the seats of three empty virtual reality chairs that they were in the process of getting strapped into.
"Wow! That Dawn is good," Chris said, "Are we sure she isn't a psychic?"
Chef looked at Dawn's page on the Total Drama wiki website on a convenient laptop.
"Uhh…it says she can levitate, talk to animals, detect energy, teleport, see someone's future, and read auras," Chef read off to Chris.
"Sounds like a psychic to me."
"Psychic? She sounds more like a witch to me," Sierra commented, "Not a bad one, a good one, like in the Wizard of Oz."
"Well, either way, it's almost time to tell everyone the challenge. Chef, can we see what Anne Maria is up to before we head in?" the Host asked his co-host.
"Got 'er," Chef said as they all looked at the closest screen.
In Virtual Reality
A howling was heard in the middle of a flat plain, but this time it wasn't Ezekiel. The howling was coming from an orange fox-like creature with 6 red tails. The loud sound attracted the rest of the contestants-turned-Pokémon to the fox creature.
"Ooooooooooh nooooooo! My poof is gone!" the fox yelled with Anne Maria's voice as she reached her paws to the top of her head.
"Looks like we found Anne Maria," the Pikachu said.
"Mike? You're a Pikachu? That is so awesome!" the Spearow said as she hopped over to her boyfriend.
"Don't come too close, Zoey. I might 'shock' you," he replied jokingly.
After a few minutes of conversations, all of the Pokémon contestants got grouped up in their separate teams.
"I see you all have assembled into your teams, Poké-testants," Chris's voice was heard from out of nowhere. "Now, in case some of you haven't seen an episode of Pokémon in years or haven't played any of the games, I'm gonna list off who is what Pokémon. Let's just call this a big game of 'Who's that Pokémon?' the Total Drama Edition. Ha-ha! Let's start with the Old Team."
The camera view showed the group that was the Old Team.
"First, that little brown teddy bear looking thing is Noah the Teddiursa. Next, we've got the polar bear cub with a permanent case of the sniffles, Katie the Cubchoo. Doesn't that couple look so cute? Ha-ha!"
"You're gonna pay for this, McLean!" Noah yelled as he shook his tiny paw up at the air.
"Aww! He's threatening me. Heh-heh-heh! Next we've got the living bag 'o crap, Justin the Trubbish!"
"My lawyers are gonna make you pay for this, McLean!" Justin yelled while shaking his arm made of garbage at the air.
"Hey, it was either this, a living pile of sludge or a poisonous snake, and I'd say that this is the funniest choice! Heh-heh! Anyway, next is the queen bee-in-training, Eva the Combee! Not too exciting yet, but she could be. Next is the big headed ancient Pokémon, literally, Tyler the Cranidos! Next, the Pokémon that so cool, that I can't even make fun of it, even though it's Ezekiel the Poochyena!"
"Awwoooooooo!" Ezekiel howled.
"Ok! Relax, Old Yeller," the Host's voice said which made Ezekiel stop. "Lastly, we have the coolest guy as the lamest duck, Geoff the Psyduck!"
"Ugh! My head!" Geoff complained, "Is there any way you could talk quieter, Chris-dude?"

Noah - "Ok. I know a few of us look pretty weak, but I think we have a pretty good team. I mean, the challenge is obviously gonna be Pokémon battles, so I think we have some good type coverage."
*Static*
"Now, we have the New Team's lineup. Starting with the little bulb of grassy beauty, Dawn the Petilil. Very fitting if I do say so myself."
B gave the sky a small look of slight anger before Chris continued.
"Next, we have her boyfriend, who is now a lot smaller than he normally is, but still as silent; B the Shuppet. Next is the muscle that doesn't lurk in the dark, or else he wets his pants; Brick the Machop."
"Hey! That's not funny," Brick yelled to the sky.
"It is to me, ha-ha! Next, we've got the classic, the mascot, the icon, and some other personality, all rolled up into one electric mouse; Mike the Pikachu! And his girlfriend, who is actually Pikachu's mortal enemy in the anime, so that should create some tension. Ha-ha! It's Zoey the Spearow!"
"Wait! I thought Pikachu's mortal enemy was Team Rocket's Meowth," Zoey said.
"Really? I always thought it was Lt. Surge's Raichu," Mike added.
"What?! No…well, yes, Meowth and Raichu are two of Pikachu's major enemies, but Spearow almost killed him. Didn't you guys see the first episode of Pokémon?"
"Yeah, but that was like 14 years ago, when we were 4. Do you really expect us to remember that?"
"Yeah! It was a monumental episode! Ugh, never mind. Let's just continue the lineup," Chris's voice continued, "Next, we have the Princess of the Poof in the body of a fairly furry fox; Anne Maria the Vulpix!"
The camera view panned out to show the whole New Team.
"Now," the Host continued, "I know what some of you guys are thinking. Yes, the teams are uneven, which is why we have our cameo contestant ready and waiting for the New Team. In fact…he's on his way right now!"
At that moment, a small dot was visible in the sky and it seemed to be getting bigger, as if it were falling.
"He has been a fan-favorite since the beginning. In fact, he has one of the biggest, if not the biggest, fan base of any male that has been featured on Total Drama, even though he may not be the biggest, the strongest, or the most athletic. He is also…"
It was at that moment that the dot had landed on the ground in front of both teams, revealing itself to be a Dragonite!
"BAAAAAAWRRRR!" it yelled out as everyone braced themselves from the giant dragon, before it started coughing. "Ahem! Sorry about that," he said with Chris's voice, "Anyway, the cameo contestant is also…"
The dragon dropped a smaller yellow creature from his hands, which landed on the ground next to him.
"…this Sandshrew!"
The Sandshrew smiled and waved at the other contestants.
"Anyone care to guess who it is?" the Host Dragon asked.
That was when one of the contestants noticed something weird about the Sandshrew's mouth.
"Does that Sandshrew have a gap in his teeth?" Noah asked himself. "If so, then it's gotta be-"
"EEEEEEEEEEE!" was heard coming from the sky as a light purple cat-like creature fell and landed on top of the Sandshrew, causing them to crash to the ground. "I knew you were coming, Cody!" the creature said with Sierra's voice.
The yellow shrew chuckled nervously and said, "It's good to see you too, Sierra! Well, so to speak. Also, sorry about the restraining order, but my mom went ballistic when she saw you with my underwear."
"That's alright," she said before kissing Cody's virtual cheek, "Just being here with you in this virtual world is good enough for me."
"That's right! Cody the Sandshrew is the cameo contestant for this challenge!" Chris announced before looking straight at the camera's point of view, "I bet a lot of you viewers at home were waiting for this one, huh? Yeah, that's right. I'm talking to you on the couch, missy!" he said as he pointed.

Zoey - "I think Chris has finally lost it."
*Static*
"Lastly, for clarification," Chris continued, "I'm a Dragonite, the future Mrs. Anderson over there is an Espeon, and Chef is a Bisharp."
Everyone looked at Chef, who had just appeared next to Chris. He looked like a fully metallic warrior with an axe attached to his helmet and blades attached to his forearms and torso.
"I like pointy things," was all Chef said.
"Alright," the Host started again, "Now that both teams are assembled, it's time to announce the challenge for today."
"Let me guess," Noah started saying, "We're gonna have seven separate Old Team vs. New Team battles, with the opponents chosen at random, and whichever team has the most winners wins the challenge."
"EHHHHH!" Chris shouted, imitating a buzzer, "Wrong, Mister Noah-It-All! It's actually going to be a full 7-on-7 team battle, similar to a regular trainer battle, except there's no trainer and we can have more than 6 Pokémon on a team."

*Static*
Chris - "Oh! It felt so satisfying to tell Noah that he was wrong. And the best part is that I knew he was going to guess what the challenge was, so I had two different ideas. He actually did guess what the other idea was, so I decided to have the challenge be the full team battle right after he guessed. Ha-ha! Who's the smart one now, Noah! HA!"
*Static*
Noah - *He nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders* "Meh! Even Einstein was wrong sometimes."
*Static*
"However, these battles won't be exactly the same as the battles you may have done in the games," the Host continued, "You see, in the handheld console games, when a Pokémon gains experience and levels up to when they're supposed to evolve, that Pokémon has to stay conscious until the end of the battle in order to do so. During this challenge, not only can each of you evolve, but you can do it during a battle. Right after you beat your opponent, in fact."

*Static*
Cody - "Wow! The ability to evolve in-battle is a feature that Pokémon video game players have been asking for since Gen 1! I can't believe Chris was able to do it, but Gamefreak wasn't. Ahh…the wonders of technology."
*Static*
"Lastly, each of you has a moveset that includes the last 4 moves that your species can learn at level 10, and if you get to evolve, you'll learn a fifth move, which will be the strongest move that your evolution can learn naturally. You heard right, a fifth move! I'm breaking so many Poké rules! Ha-ha-ha!"

Tyler - *He stares at the camera with astonishment before raising his fists to the sides of his head, and making an explosion noise while opening his fists and moving them away from his head.*
*Static*
"Now, before we begin the challenge, I'll need both teams to decide which Pokémon goes first in the battle. So, pick Poké-teens!"
Both teams got into huddles.
The Old Team
"Ok guys, I know what who we need to start with," Tyler said.
"Oh you do, do you?" Noah asked, "Please enlighten us, Mr. 'Pokémon Master'."
"Well, out of all of us, I have to admit that I have the most weaknesses," the Cranidos started saying.
"No kidding," Justin muttered.
"Shh!" Katie shushed him.
"I meant I'm weak to the most move types: Grass, Water, Fighting, Ground, and Steel, three of which are on the opposite team. So, I would be a terrible choice to start the battle. Actually, Eva wouldn't be a good choice either, since she's weak to Flying, Rock, Fire, Ice, and Electric, and the New Team has three of those types as well. Also, both Katie and Geoff are weak to two types on the other team, so that means that we should start with Noah, Justin, or Zeke, since each of you are weak to only one of the New Team's types!"
Everyone else in the huddle looked at Tyler with astonished faces.
"Wow," was all Noah could say.

Noah - "I think that's the first time that Tyler genuinely impressed me, ever."

The New Team
"Ok! Anyone have any idea who to start with?" Zoey asked.
"I think we should start with the strongest," Brick said.
"I second dat," Anne Maria agreed.
"Ok, but who is the strongest?" Mike asked.
"I say it's Brick," Anne Maria said, "He does have all da muscles."
"Well, that is true," Dawn said.
"Wait a minute guys," Cody interrupted, "You all are looking at this the wrong way. We'll need to be more strategic than just throwing out whoever's the strongest."
"Oh really?" the Vulpix questioned, "And why should we listen ta you, Short Stuff?"
"Because I've played every single Pokémon video game made to date and I've been going to the Pokémon World Championships every year since 2009. Trust me, I will help you guys win this challenge."
The rest of the contestants in the huddle looked at each other for a second, as if they were debating without actually speaking.
"We'll do whatever you say, Cody," said Dawn.
Hearing this made the Sandshrew smile.
"Alright! Here's my plan…"

Sierra - "I know everything about Cody, and I mean everything, but I've never seen him become so take-charge before. Sure, he may take risks every now and then, but he's never been much of a leader, until today that is!" *She swoons* "So hot!"

A Few Minutes Later
Everyone stood near a full Pokémon battlefield. The New Team stood on one side while the Old Team stood on the opposite side. Chris, Chef, and Sierra stood on the side at midfield.
"Alright," Chris started, "Both teams have chosen their first Pokémon. That means it's time to start! Noah the Teddiursa from the Old Team takes on Mike the Pikachu from the New Team!"
Both Pokémon walked onto the field and faced each other near the center. While the Pokémon took the field, Chris flew and landed behind a flat, rectangular rock that looked just like a table, next to Sierra.
"Welcome Total Drama and Pokémon fans alike! I'm Chris McLean," he said while looking at the camera's point of view.
"And I'm Sierra, Total Drama's #1 fan and, now, intern!" Sierra said.
"And we're bringing you viewers the first ever Total Drama Pokémon challenge! This should be a good one! Take it away Ref Chef!"
Chef the Bisharp was shown wearing a striped referee shirt, that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and holding a silver-colored flag in his right hand and a bronze-colored flag in his left.
"Alright, you little monsters!" Chef shouted to both contestants on the field as well as their teammates, "This is a 7-on-7 team battle! In this battle, only one member from each team can fight at once. Every 1-on-1 battle will end when one of the battlers faints and cannot continue, aka, their health points drops to zero. Once that happens, the fainted battler must be replaced with an able teammate. The winning battler has the option to switch out with a teammate after making their opponent faint, but it has to be before the losing team makes their switch. Got it?"
Every member of both teams nodded their heads.
"Alright, then. The team with at least one conscious member at the end of the 7-on-7 battle wins the battle and the challenge!" Chef concluded before looking at the readied opponents. "Teddy bear! Yellow rat! Are you two ready?"
"Yep," Mike said while keeping his eyes on Noah.
"Yes," Noah said, never looking away from Mike.
"In that case," Chef said while raising both flags above his head, "Let the battle begin!"
As soon as he could, Mike rushed towards Noah who was standing still. Once the Pikachu was close enough, the Little Bear Pokémon widened his eyes, which turned a creepy red shade. This made Mike stop in his tracks, just inches away from Noah.
"Ooh! Noah stops Mike's attack with a Leer!" Chris commentated.
"That's gonna really drop Mike's defense stat, Chris," Sierra responded.
Back on the field, Noah stopped leering and stretched out his right arm which had glowing white claws at the fingertips of his paw. He then used those glowing claws to scratch Mike's face.
"And Noah combines that Leer with a Scratch attack!" she continued.
"What a combo from the little bear," the Host commended, "Dropping Mike's physical defense and following up with a physical STAB move. That should have caused some major damage."
The yellow mouse slid backwards while holding his left cheek in pain. He then tried to target his own attack, but his opponent was not standing in the same place. The Teddiursa was already in midair and coming towards him with glowing claws on both paws this time.
"Now he's going for Fury Swipes! If he lands five hits, this battle could be a really short one."
Luckily for Mike, he was fast enough to roll out of Noah's way, stand on his four paws, and launch his own attack as soon as Noah landed. The attack was actually two thin streaks of electricity that emanated straight from his red cheeks and made contact with the small bear, causing electricity to surround his body. At first, it didn't seem like it did anything, but a few seconds later, the electricity surrounded Noah's tiny body again. This time, it made him fall to one knee.
"Uh oh," Chris commented, "Looks like Noah's paralyzed from that Thunder Wave."
"That will give Mike a chance to turn this battle around," the Espeon said.
"Piiii-kaaa-CHUUUU!" Mike said as he let a single bolt of electricity jolted from the yellow electricity surrounding his body. The electric jolt went straight for the Normal-type and made contact.
"AHHH!" Noah yelled as his little body was encased in yellow electricity. After the attack ended, small sparks of electricity were seen going around the Teddiursa's body as he fell to both knees and paws.
"Whoa! That Thundershock had to have major damage to Noah," the Dragon-type said, "I don't think he can continue."
"I don't think he can even move, Chris," said the Psychic-type.
Noah was still on all fours and panting heavily. Meanwhile, Mike slowly walked up to him on his hind legs. The Little Bear Pokémon looked up and saw the electric mouse right in front of him. He tried desperately to use a Scratch attack on Mike, but a sudden shock from his body forced him to stop.
"Sorry, dude," the Pikachu said before starting to charge up his attack. "Piiii-kaaa-CHUUUU!"
…
…
…
After the attack subsided…
"Egghead is unable to battle!" Chef yelled as he looked on the field to see that Noah was lying on the ground with swirls in his eyes. He then lifted the bronze flag in his left hand and said, "That means the winner of this battle is the weird kid with the disorder!"
"Yes!" Mike cheered.

Justin - "Leave it to Egghead to lose the first battle for us." *He chuckles*

"Noah!" Katie said as she ran onto the field to her boyfriend's virtual body.
"Ugh! I'm alright, Katie," he said groggily as she helped him back up to his feet.
"I'm sorry, guys. I think I may have got a little bit overboard," Mike said to the bear couple.
"Nah, you were fine. It was a great battle, and I thank you for that." The Teddiursa extended his arm and his right paw. The Pikachu extended his own in response and shook Noah's paw.
"Thanks! You were awesome too!"
"Aww," Chris said, "Such sportsmanship. Now get off the field, Bearboy! It's time for the next battle to start. But first…" The Dragon Host picked up a greenish stone and threw it at Mike. "Think fast, Mike!"
Luckily, Mike was able to catch the stone, which, under close examination, had a yellow lightning bolt design in the middle.
"Whoa!" Mike said right before he started glowing.
Everyone looked on in awe as Mike's glowing form started to grow and change. His body got bigger, his tail grew longer and slimmer, and his ears grew and changed shape. After all of those changes happened, the glowing went away, and standing where there was once a small yellow mouse was a bigger orange mouse.
"Wow!" Zoey said from the sidelines.
"You witnessed it here, folks," Chris said to the viewers, "Mike has evolved into a Raichu!"
Bah-Bah-Baaah! Ba-da-da ba-da-da baaa!
Everyone in the area looked around in the air.
"Where the heck did that music come from," Eva asked.
"Maybe we'll find out…after the break!" Chris said as the picture faded to black. "But probably not."
I would have added a reference section, but there were too many for me to list. Lol Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, especially all of the Cody fans and Pokémon fans alike. I had this idea in my head right after I saw the announcement for X and Y. Oh man, I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I've been dreaming about a handheld Pokémon game with 3D graphics, and in 2 months, I'll be able to play my dream game! Assuming that I get a 3DS by then... So, I've finally updated after 3 months. Hopefully, I don't take that long to upload chapter 22, but who knows what will happen once I'm back in school next week. Lastly, the poll and the cover art contest are still going on, but they will both end once chapter 30 is uploaded, so...no rush. Lol Cya next time!
