Chapter 22

Roran was at the docks, looking at a map. "Well, either this is the wrong map, or I'm right above a treasure chest." Roran looks down to see only wood. "Yep, this map's a bust." Roran then threw the map to the ocean and looks at the camera. "Hello laddies, and welcome back ta Total Pokemon Island! Last time, I had the campers go through a second eating challenge. Only this one had Pokemon eat the right foods, or they would get poisoned. Most made it through the easy rounds, while some like Aegislash just couldn't get lucky. Poor bastard went through it all. But surprisingly enough, him and Aggron won the challenge while everyone else fell ta the laughing gas poison. After that, Kommo-o had ta go because his alliance found out that he was the mole who gave Kadabra the letter. But things do turn up. Aegislash was given information that Gardevoir was only lying ta Weavile and after they made up, they finally became a couple. And Aggron eventually succumbed ta Weavile's persuasion and joined Team Mason. So what will happen next?! What will Bisharp plan next for Team Hurricane?! What will Aggron do now that he is in Team Mason?! And will there be anymore surprising twists in this merge war?!" Roran then raises his hands out of excitement. "Find out, on this episode of TOTAL POKEMON ISLAND!"

Team Unity were on top of the snowy mountain. They were strapped in on a bobsled. "A-Are you sure t-this is s-safe?" Elgyem asked. "T-This doesn't seem s-safe."

"Don't be silly Elgyem." Glaceon said. "I just made this today. So it should work." Elgyem widened his eyes. "O-Oh thanks. T-That really h-helped."

Glaceon sighed. "Look, I'll make sure we don't crash. And if we reach the bottom and do crash, we have Ferro at the bottom to help with the fall. RIGHT FERRO!" Ferrothorn was at the bottom and waved. "YEP, I GOTCHA BUDDY!"

"See Elgyem, it's fine. Now can we have some fun or not?" Glaceon asked. Elgyem looked down at the mountain and sighed. "I… I-I guess." Glaceon yawned. "Good, now let's ride."

Before Elgyem knew it, Glaceon pushed the bobsled off and they started sliding down the snowy mountain. Elgyem ws screaming for dear life while Glaceon was navigating the bobsled.

But after a little while, Elgyem's screaming changed into laughter and shouts of excitement.

Glaceon looked behind and saw Elgyem's excited face. "See, told you this was fun." "Y-Yeah, I g-guess this is!" Elgyem shouted.

Glaceon may not have looked too excited, but deep inside, he was smiling. He turned back and didn't notice that they were heading straight for a boulder. "Ah crap." Glaceon said before.

CRASH!

Glaceon and Elgyem crashed into the boulder and were sent flying. "AHHH!" Elgyem screamed while Glaceon just kept his bored composure. Ferrothorn looked up and widened his eyes when he saw Glaceon and Elgyem in the air. "Uh oh."

Ferrothorn used his vines to catch Glaceon and Egyem before they almost hit the ground. "Gotcha, you guy's okay."

"Yeah, we're fine. Right Elgyem." Glaceon asked. Elgyem was shaking in fear. "C-Can we n-never do that a-again?" "No promises." Glaceon drawled.

00000000000000

Elgyem: Elgyem was still shaking in the confessional. "W-Why did I a-agree to t-that bobsled!? I c-could've died?! I-It was f-fun, but I l-like living thank y-you!"

Glaceon: "I didn't expect that to happen. But all in all, I bet it was still fun for Elgyem. We may be competing for a million Pokedollars, but that doesn't mean we still can't have fun while doing it."

00000000000000

Team Mason were in the forest, having their daily meeting. "Alright everyone," Bisharp started. "Now that everyone's here let's-"

"Wait!" Weavile shouted. "We still have one more!" Bisharp arched his brow at her. "Really? Who?"

Soon after, Aggron came out some bushes and looked at everyone. "Um, hey everyone." Bisharp looked at Aggron and grinned. "Ah, so you chose to join Team Mason."

Aggron looked at Bisharp nervously, and slowly nodded. "Well then, welcome. We haven't started the meeting yet. Please, take a seat."

Aggron went by Pyroar and Eelektross and sat by them. "Now since we have another member in our ranks, I believe it will now be much easier to eliminate anyone of our choice." Bisharp said.

"Maybe but remember, we also loss a member, so we're back at seven." Eelektross pointed out.

"Yes we did, but there are currently 18 competitors in this show and we have seven. Since Kadabra and Team Hurricane only has six, we just need to take care of the few neutral Pokemon and we should be fine. We'll find out which target we'll take out first. And after that, we should be able to dominate the competition."

Weavile and Silvally smirked after hearing the good news. Some others were okay with it as well. But Aggron though, just made a worried look.

00000000000000

Aggron: Aggron sighed. "If there gonna be this aggressive towards Team Hurricane, then I wonder if I made the right choice in joining their alliance."

00000000000000

After Team Mason disbanded for the day and went to the campgrounds, Bisharp took a different path towards the lake. He arrived and saw Mienshao, watching the water.

He sat by her and she smiled at him. "Good morning Bisharp." "Morning." Was all that Bisharp said.

Mienshao got some food and gave some to Bisharp. "I managed to sneak this out of Malik's kitchen." Mienshao said. Bisharp looked at the food and ate a granola bar. "What are you, Snover now?" Mienshao giggled. "No, no one can beat Snover's stealth tactics when it comes to food."

Bisharp finished a granola bar and looked out into the lake. "I can see it now, everyone will slowly fall and me, winning the million Pokedollars. It's only a matter of time Mienshao, just a little longer."

Mienshao looks out into the lake as well. "Does it always have to be so serious with you? Can't we just enjoy our moment while we can?"

"This IS me enjoying the moment. The only way I think is logically, no time for anything else. You know that Mienshao." Bisharp said.

Mienshao sighed. "I know, and I can't change who you are. No matter how questionable your actions are." She then turns to Bisharp. "Can you do me a favor?"

Bisharp turns to Mienshao. "Sure, what is it?" "Can you smile for me?" Mienshao asked.

Bisharp arched his brow at her. "Why would you want that? You seen me smile before." "Yeah, but not a real smile. You know, like living a good moment." Mienshao said.

Bisharp looks into the water again. "But I didn't really live in much good moments. The only moments I remember are with my uncle, and that only brings up the bad memories about his condition."

Mienshao held Bisharp's hand. "Then how about you think of the moments with me?" Bisharp looks at Mienshao again. "Seriously, why do you want me to smile?" Mienshao smiled. "Because I want to see how good you look with one. I bet it looks amazing. So can you do this for me please?"

Bisharp sighed. "Fine." He closed his eyes starts thinking of all the moments he had with Mienshao and made slowly started to smile.

Mienshao shocked on how beautiful his smile was. It was an actual smile from Bisharp. Not a prideful one, or a sinister one, but an actual, genuine smile.

He stopped smiling and looked at Mienshao's shocked face. "What?" Bisharp asked. "Your smile, it's beautiful." Mienshao said.

This made Bisharp flush. "Oh please, you're just saying that to make me feel good." "No." Mienshao said, now cupping Bisharp's cheek with her hand. "It's actually beautiful. I love it."

It was now Bisharp who was shocked by Mienshao's words. "Wow, thank you Mienshao."

The two stood there for a moment before Mienshao came closer and kissed Bisharp. Bisharp kissed back and were now making out.

Mienshao separated and giggled. "What's so funny?" Bisharp asked. "It seems that you still don't know the whole kissing thing."

This made Bisharp flustered. "S-Shut up." Mienshao giggled again and started kissing him again. The two were now making out by the lake, enjoying the moment.

00000000000000

Mienshao: Mienshao smiled. "Bisharp is amazing. He has an amazing smile, when he actually cares for others, he considers them greatly, he may be mostly logic, but he does have a heart. I think… I think I love him.

Bisharp: Bisharp was trying to smile in front of a mirror. "Do I really look that amazing?" Bisharp then realizes that he was on camera and punches it.

Roran: Roran was fixing the camera again. "Alright, who in bloody hell broke the camera this time?!"

00000000000000

Team Hurricane were by the beach for their daily meeting. "Hello everyone," Kadabra started. "I would like to start off with welcoming back Aegislash to the team."

Aegislash gave a small salute to everyone. "Sorry I was gone, I was confused at the time."

"Hey, As long as you're here, then it's fine by me." Gengar said, grinning at him. "So, what convinced you to come back?" Torracat asked.

Aegislash grinned. "Not much, just someone who cares that's all." Aegislash grabbed Gardevoir's hand and she blushed.

Kadabra smiled. "Well, now that everyone is here, I'd like to discuss our main topic. We need to figure out who we want eliminated next?"

"While I'm not a fan of targeting other Pokemon, I'd say we take care of Bisharp." Aegislash advised. "If he's clever enough to make me hate Gardevoir, then that's a threat we need to take care. Before he thinks of another plan to take us all out."

"Maybe, but I'd say we need to take out Weavile." Torracat insisted. "With all the things she's pulled to me and everyone else, she needs to be out of here, now!"

"And there lies our current situation. We have to choose between the two carefully. One wrong move, and it may come back to bite us." Kadabra warned. "And another problem, Team Mason currently outnumber us."

"How? With Kommo-o gone, we should outnumber them with Greninja helping us." Gardevoir pointed out. "Yes, but you're forgetting about someone, Aggron."

"Aggron? But he's not bad anymore." Absol pointed out. "Maybe, but it wouldn't be surprising if Weavile found a way to convince him to join her alliance again. Right now, we have to assume that he did." Kadabra said.

Absol was a little sad hearing that. He had just made good friends with Aggron. "And since Ferro told me what Hydreigon did to him. It practically made them outnumber us." Kadabra pointed out.

"So the only way to get through another challenge is if one, it's an automatic elimination challenge. Or two, we get the Pokemon that are neutral."

"Yeah, but since Glaceon is with Elgyem and he hates you. I don't think he would be too keen to vote with you." Absol pointed out. "True, but let's hope that he would hate Bisharp more than more." Kadabra said.

"ATTENTION LADDIES! REPORT TA THE CENTER OF CAMP! IT'S CHALLENGE TIME!" Roran shouted through the intercom.

"That's Roran with the challenge. Alright everyone, let's do our best to beat Team Mason." Kadabra advised.

00000000000000

When everyone arrived at the center of camp, they saw 18 treasure chests, all with different colored locks.

"So, what's the chests for?" Eelektross asked. "Glad ya asked laddie." Roran said, grinning. "But before we do, see how all the locks are colored differently?"

They all saw the different colors of the locks. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, black, white, pink, maroon, silver, brown, cyan, dark green, dark blue, tan, indigo, and magenta.

"Yes, fascinating. So what are the different colored locks for?" Absol asked. Roran grinned. "Well laddie, with every lock, there are also different colored maps all over the island. All of ya will be assigned a card and a key ta get. On the cards shows where the location of the key would be at."

"Once ya get your keys, report back ta the center of the camp. But if anyone doesn't come back before the designated time, the unlucky camper will be automatically eliminated. Doesn't that sound exciting?" Roran asked, smiling sheepishly. Everyone grew tense hearing that. But Bisharp grew a dark grin on his face.

00000000000000

Elgyem: "O-Oh no, i-if I don't get m-my key, I-I could be e-eliminated. I-I hope I c-can get my key q-quickly."

Bisharp: "This… is perfect. Now, I don't need to worry about getting the votes. All I need to do now, is make sure that anyone from Team Hurricane doesn't get their key, and they'll be automatically eliminated. Can this get any better?"

Kadabra: "This can be… problematic. I need to make sure that Team Hurricane get's their keys, or we could be some serious trouble in future challenges."

00000000000000

"So after everyone get's their keys in time, and comes here, you all can trade them as much as ya like." Roran said.

"So everyone has to get a key, but we can trade them with anyone we want? What's the purpose of that?" Hydreigon asked.

"Well ya see, every chest has a different prize. Some can be random prizes, or some can save ya from a challenge or elimination. And the best part is that there's a card that AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATES YA FROM THE SHOW!" Roran shouted, excitedly. "WHAT?!" Everyone shouted. Even Bisharp was stunned by the news.

00000000000000

Weavile: "Automatically eliminated?!"

Bisharp: Bisharp looked tensed. "Well then, I guess it's up to chance on whoever is eliminated. I HATE CHANCE!"

Kadabra: "Great, now if someone doesn't get the key in time they get eliminated, someone also get's automatically eliminated if they choose the wrong treasure chest." Kadabra gave a heavy sigh. "I hate this challenge."

00000000000000

"Alright laddies, come here in an orderly fashioned line so that I can give ya your cards." Roran said. Everyone quickly tried squeezing in to make a line and one by one, they all were getting their card. Aegislash had a black card that shows a burglar with a bag of money over his shoulders.

Aegislash arched his brow at the card questionably, but decided not to ask any questions. If he complained about his card, Roran may throw a paint bucket at his head.

Pyroar was given her card next. It was a silver card and the only thing it showed was an outhouse. Pyroar looked at Roran skeptically. "Really?"

Roran shrugged. "Hey, I gotta have some easy ones. I mean, I could just give ya another card if ya want?" Pyroar smiled. "I'm good, thanks." Roran tipped his hat when she left the line.

Weavile was next to get her card. It was maroon and it showed an angry Infernape. Weavile widened her eyes in horror. "Oh Arceus no."

Roran looks at Weavile's card and winces. "Damn, looks like ya get Malik's card. The key, is inside Malik's kitchen."

Weavile slowly looks at Malik and he just pounded his fists together. "If you take one step in my kitchen, I'll kill you. Simple as that."
Weavile said nothing as she just slowly left the line with the same expression on her face. Some from Team Hurricane, especially Torracat was snickering.

00000000000000

Absol: Absol was still snickering. "That's what you get for being such a bitch."

00000000000000

Aggron got his card next. It was blue and it showed a lake. Aggron gave an angry look and glared at Roran. "Give me another card, or I'll pummel you to the ground."

Roran looked at Aggron's card and panicked. He quickly switched Aggron's card with another and gave him a nervous grin. "How 'bout now?" Roran asked. Aggron looked at the card and it was now red with a picture of a springing chair. Aggron grinned and accepted his card this time.

Malik looked at the blue card and immediately gave it to Absol. "Here, you can have this one." Malik said before he pushed him out of the line. "Now that's just cruel." Joey said. "Maybe, but I like it." Roran said, grinning maliciously. "Good, then there's no complaints." Malik said, grinning the same way.

Absol looked at his card and looked at it questionably. "What the hell? It's just a lake. It can't be that bad."

Ferrothorn was given his card next. It was brown with a picture with a chimney. Ferrothorn smiled. "Thanks."

Elgyem got his card next. It was dark blue and it showed a giant cliff. "T-This, t-this looks l-like-" "Yes Elgyem, the cliff. Wonderful memories there." Roran said. Elgyem shuddered from his memories of the cliff but didn't want to complain about the card. He too was afraid that a paint bucket might be thrown at him.

Glaceon was next to get his card. It was cyan with a picture of a cave. Glaceon arched his brow, but said nothing else.

Mienshao was the next Pokemon to get her card. It was pink and it showed two people dancing. Mienshao looked at the card curiously, but remembered something and grinned. Bisharp peeked over and looked at Mienshao's card. He knew exactly what the card meant.

Bisharp grabbed his card and looked at it. It was green and it only showed R & R. Bisharp looked at the card and then easily knew what it meant.

Kadabra was given his card next. His was magneta and it showed some boxes. Kadabra looked at the card curiously, and was wondering what it meant.

Gardevoir got her card next. It was tan with a sandcastle was on it. Gardevoir smiled. This one was easy.

Hydreigon grabbed his card. It was dark-green with it showing trees. "Well laddie, I hope ya like the forest. Because that's where you're going." Roran said, grinning. Hydreigon scowled and just floated away. "He's gonna have fun." Roran said to himself.

Eelektross got the next card. It was yellow and it showed food. Eelektross arched his brow and sighed. "Looks like it's the cafeteria for me."

Torracat took the indigo card and it showed a picture of a boat. "Well, this should be easy." Torracat said, grinning.

Silvally picked up his card next. It was white showing someone on top of a hill. Silvally smirked. "Good, an easy one."

Greninja was next for her card. It was orange and it showed someone going through hurdles. Greninja sighed. "It appears that I have to relive the obstacle course."

Gengar picked up the violet card and it showed a shack. "Wait, there's only one shack I know of, and it's-" Gengar then widened his eyes. "Ah, $%^&."

"Okay laddies, now that you all have your cards, ya can start the challenge. Oh, but wait!" Roran gets one of the keys and shows it to everyone.

It was an ordinary black key, with a round end, the key part sticking out, and has a chain around it. "This is what your keys look like, so ya won't be confused." Aegislash looked at his card and then back at the key with gleaming eyes. "Well, what are you all waiting for?! Go, go go!" Roran shouted.

Everyone took off in all different directions. Everyone, except for Aegislash. He floated slowly to Roran and took the black key. "This was the easiest challenge of my life." Aegislash commented. "Why did you make it so easy for me?"

Roran grinned. "Well laddie, I felt sorry for what ya had ta go through since the last challenge. I mean, ya took all those poisons and held on till the end. So I thought I would make this one easy for ya."

Aegislash looked at his key and nodded. "Well, thanks." Roran tipped his hat. "Anytime laddie."

00000000000000

Aegislash: "Roran may not show it often, but deep inside that sadistic ego of his, is a Pokemon that actually cares about others. Maybe he really isn't just complete ass all the time."

00000000000000

After everyone was sent off, Pyroar was in the confessional for some time. Soon after, Pyroar left the confessional, whistling a happy tune with the silver key around her paws.

00000000000000

Pyroar: "It was taped on one of the sides in this confessional. Honestly, I'm surprised that it was so easy." Pyroar then made a thoughtful pose. "Although when you think about it, maybe this key could get me a bad prize in the end. Hmm, maybe I should trade it when I have the chance."

00000000000000

Greninja sprinted her way at incredible speeds through the forest. She kept on sprinting until she saw the obstacle course. It was set up like it was before except there lied the orange key where the finish line was at.

Greninja tried to just go to the end but the canons suddenly turn toward her and fired. She managed to dodged the cannon fire, but it seems that she wasn't able to get the key that way. She looked at the whole obstacle course and sighed. "It appears that I have to go through the obstacle course in order to get the key."

So she went to the start of the obstacle course and took a ready stance. "Alright, let's do this." She took off and started the obstacle course with many shots and explosions heard up ahead.

00000000000000

Mienshao was wondering the forest to find the dancing stage. She figured the only place that's related to dancing was the stage where the dancing challenge took place.

She eventually found the stage, but also found Bisharp sitting on front stage. He looked at Mienshao and nodded. Greetings Mienshao, I've been waiting for you."

"Bisharp? What are you doing here?" Mienshao asked. "I saw your card showing people dancing. So I figured I would come here to help you." Bisharp replied. "But… but what about your key?" Mienshao asked.

Bisharp grinned and showed Mienshao the green key. "It was in one of the logs of the elimination ceremony. That's where we did the sleeping challenge. It was child's play to get it."

Mienshao smiled. "Well, I'm glad you came here to assist me." Bisharp nodded. "Of course, I have to make sure that you get your key. If you didn't, that would be… problematic."

Mienshao went up the stage to sit by him. "So, do you know where my the key is?" Mienshao asked.

Bisharp grinned and showed Mienshao her pink key. He placed it around Mienshao's neck. "There, I think the key suits you." Bisharp commented. Mienshao looked at the key around her neck and smiled at Bisharp. "Wow Bisharp, how did you get it?"

Bisharp pointed at the many holes around the stage. "I was VERY thorough." "Well, now that we have our keys, what do we do now?" Mienshao asked. "Well, I have to do some business. Need to make sure that the threats are taken care of." Bisharp replied, starting to get up.

"Well before you go, can I ask you something?" Mienshao asked. Bisharp arched his brow at her. "You seem to have a lot of requests, don't you?" "Maybe, but can you be a little nicer to others."

Bisharp gave Mienshao his solemn look. "Now why would I do that? If I do, the others may think I'm weak. I can't go and be 'nice'. I don't even truly know that concept."

Mienshao frowned. "I know it may be hard for you, but can you at least try? You know… for me."

Bisharp kept looking at her and groaned. "Can I ask why you want me to do this?" "Well… because I just want you to try, that's all." Mienshao responded

Now Bisharp was confused. "But that still makes no logical sense. Why do you want me to try?" "Bisharp, when you smiled, did it feel good?" Mienshao asked. Bisharp looked at her curiously. "What?" "When you gave me your smile, did it make you feel good?" Mienshao repeated.

Bisharp looked back at the time he smiled at her and slowly nodded. "Yes, a little." "Then being nice will make you feel good too." Mienshao said. "Doing nice things, smiling, and caring for others, like me, it makes you feel good inside. I only want you to feel that again. You know, like your uncle?"

This made Bisharp look down in thought. "But… but why are you doing this now? What made you suddenly ask me to do this? What changed?" Mienshao smiled at him. "What I feel about you."

Bisharp no longer has any idea of what's going on. This is uncharted territory for him. "What does that mean?" "Bisharp, when I first met you, you were a ruthless Pokemon that would do anything to win."

Mienshao then stood up and went closer to Bisharp. "But now, I see someone who forgotten how to be happy. Forgotten of that good feeling you get helping others." "Where is this going?" Bisharp asked.

"Well recently, I've gotten to see a different version of you. A Bisharp who has a heart. Someone who's trying to feel good again. And that's why I've been asking you recently to be nice, because I want to help you feel that."

Bisharp was starting to understand what Mienshao is saying and nodded. "Okay, I can understand that. I will… try to be nice. But for now, I need to depart. There is still business that I need to take care of."

Mienshao nodded. "Okay, good luck Bisharp." Bisharp nodded before he quickly left the area.

00000000000000

Mienshao: "I think there's hope for him yet."

Bisharp: Bisharp placed his hand on his chest. "So that's the warm sensation I keep feeling when I'm around her. It feels… nice." Bisharp then realizes that he was on camera again and once again punched it.

00000000000000

After a while, Greninja finally made it to the end, panting from what she just went through. She grabbed the orange key and looked behind her. It was a mess with all the traps, bullet holes, and the cannons firing everywhere.

Greninja took a deep breath. "Why do I get the feeling that Roran upgraded his obstacle course." She looked at the key again before she left the area.

00000000000000

Ferrothorn was on the roof the the cafeteria, looking for something in the chimney. He was still searching, until he managed to get his brown key with his vines. "There we go." He said to himself.

00000000000000

Elgyem was at the top of a cliff. The same cliff where they did the same challenge. "N-Now w-where is that k-key?" Elgyem asked himself. He peeked over the edge and saw the water below. "I-I hope i-it's not down t-there." Elgyem said to himself.

But what Elgyem didn't realize was that he accidentally slipped and fell over the edge. "AHHHHHHH!" Elgyem shouted while falling to the water. "W-WAIT?! I C-CAN JUST F-FLOAT!" Elgyem realized.

He then used his psychic powers to slow his fall to a stop. He was now over the water. He sighed. "T-That's a r-relief. I-I was a-almost a goner." He looked around to see if the key was anywhere nearby. "N-Now where c-can that key b-be?" Elgyem asked himself.

He was looking around the cliff until he realized that a cave was nearby. "A-A cave? M-Maybe the key is t-there." Elgyem floated over and entered the cave, hoping to find the key there.

00000000000000

Kadabra was looking in the storage room of the play shack. He assumed that this was the only related area that had boxes, so he thought looking here would help.

"That key has to be here somewhere." Kadabra said to himself. "If I don't find it soon, I may be automatically eliminated." "Now wouldn't be a shame?" Said a familiar solemn voice.

Kadabra quickly turned around and saw Bisharp feets away from him. "Bisharp, I assume that you are here to stop me from getting my key?" Kadabra asked. Bisharp smirked. "Oh come now, I can't be THAT predictable. But yes, it would much easier to take you out this way than just by voting you out."

"And I presume you already your key?" Kadabra asked. Bisharp showed Kadabra his green key. "Like taking candy from a Babymon. Now all I have to do, is knock you out long enough to be automatically eliminated. It's all child's play really."

Kadabra grew worried until he smirked. "Well then, I guess that you're here." Bisharp arched his brow at him. "What do you mean by that?" "If I'm able to take YOU out, then I would take your key, and automatically eliminate you from the challenge. Killing two Pidgeys with one stone." Kadabra stated. Bisharp made his solemn look. "I guess so."

Bisharp was cleaning the blades on his body with his arm blades. "Well then, I guess it now depends on this fight. Whoever loses this fight, loses the chance of a million Pokedollars."

Kadabra made a Focus Blast and kept it in his hand. "I guess so. Then bring it on."

Bisharp then charged at Kadabra with blinding speeds, preparing to hit him with a Night Slash.

Kadabra ran at Bisharp too, while aiming the Focus Blast at him.

The two were continuing to charge at each other until they finally met and collided their attacks.

BOOM!

00000000000000

Gengar looked at the Illusion Shack. It was the same shack where some of the other Pokemon screamed in the most terrifying room ever. Gengar gulped. "Welp, here goes nothing."

Gengar went inside the Illusion Shack, hoping that it couldn't be that bad. A few minutes later, Gengar came back out screaming for his life. He quickly closed the door and was hyperventilating.

But he soon calmed down and looked at the newly acquired violet key, he grinned. "Gotcha."

00000000000000

Glaceon was walking up the snowy mountain, looking for any cave nearby. "Now if I was a cave, where would I be?" Glaceon asked himself.

"Need any help?" Asked a familiar voice. Glaceon turned around and saw Ferrothorn, waving at him. "Sure, know any caves around here?" Glaceon drawled.

"Yeah actually, during the hide and seek challenge. Malik found me and told me about his prank. But before he did it, he told me of how he accidentally found Kommo-o in a cave near here." Ferrothorn replied.

Glaceon arched his brow at him. "Really? Do you by any chance know where that cave is?" "Yeah, it should be up here." Ferrothorn said.

Ferrothorn led Glaceon up on the snowy mountain until they both saw a cave up ahead. Glaceon went inside and soon found the cyan key.

He picked it up and looked at Ferrothorn. "Thanks Ferro, I guess you aren't so annoying like the other Pokemon." Glaceon drawled. Ferrothorn smiled. "Hey, I'm glad to help."

00000000000000

Torracat was looking around the shores of the beach. "Okay, where there's a boat, there has to be water." Torracat said to himself. He was looking around until he found lots of boats.

He smiled. "Yes!" He ran towards the boats and started looking around for the key. But oddly enough, the key wasn't on any of the boats. Torracat now looked confused. "That's weird, where could it be?"

00000000000000

Bisharp went back a few feet to avoid another Focus blast. The two have been going at it for a while. Boxes have either been moved by the two, or blown up in the process.
"Do you want to give up anytime soon?" Kadabra asked. "I don't have all day, and neither do you." Bisharp scowled. "Please, like I'm giving up anytime soon."

Bisharp then sprinted at Kadabra and tried to hit with his Night slashes. Kadabra was fast enough to dodge them, but the onslaught of Night slashes just keep coming and coming, with no way of telling when it will end.

Kadabra tried to escape by firing a Shadow ball at Bisharp's face, but he dodged it and went to Night Slash again. Kadabra wasn't able to dodge it this time as it was heading towards his face.

SLASH!

Bisharp smirked, knowing that he's won. That was until he saw Kadabra still standing. He deflects the Night Slash and push Bisharp back a few feet. Bisharp was shocked. "What?! How did you block my attack?! You're a Kadabra, your species are not able to take physical attacks!"

Kadabra smirked as he showed Bisharp his right arm. It had a blade on it and was glowing bright purple. Bisharp growled. "Psycho cut." "Indeed." Kadabra said. "While I may be weak dealing and taking physical attacks. I can still use this block your attacks. So, do you feel like giving up now?"

Bisharp frowned and gave a fighting stance. "Not just yet." Bisharp then sprinted at Kadabra again with his Night slashes while Kadabra ready his right arm to deflect more attacks.

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

Eelektross and Weavile entered the cafeteria. "Do I have to help you?" Eelektross asked. "Yes, now stop whining. The faster we get the key, the better." Weavile replied.

Eelektross sighed. "Well can I at least get my key first?" "Fine, just don't take too long. I'll go around and see if the ape's in his kitchen." Weavile said.

Eelektross looked around the tables until he saw three plates of food. One being chicken, another being a turkey sandwich, and the last being pizza. He also saw a note and took it. "One of them has the key, one of them is poisoned, and one of them is just food. Enjoy." Eelektross groaned. "Great

Weavile went around the kitchen to see if Malik was there, which he wasn't. She smirked and went inside to check the area. She checked the fridge, nothing. Then the freezer, nothing. Then the cabinets, still nothing.

She opened one door only for it to reveal Malik with a meat cleaver. She slowly closed the door and walked out of the kitchen. "What happened?" Eelektross asked. "I don't think it's safe in there." Weavile replied.

00000000000000

Silvally climbed up on a hill. The same hill that hosted the Crown for the Hill challenge. He looked around and found the white key, just laying there by itself.

Silvally grinned and went for it. But he stopped, when suddenly a Haxorus climbed up the other ladder.

"Who are you?" Silvally asked. "Remember that 'monster' in the maze? That was me." Haxorus replied.

"Well, then why are you here?" Silvally asked again. "Roran paid me to guard this key. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get me butt kicked like last time." Haxorus admitted.

"So why are you still gonna try?" Silvally questioned. Haxorus shrugged. "It's my job after all. And I'm bored. I might as well do something to pass the time."

Silvally nodded. "Makes sense." "Well, I'm ready when you are." Haxorus said.

CLICK!

Silvally changed colors into a light pink, turning into a fairy-type. "Let's go."

Both Haxorus roared and charged at him. Silvally roared as well and did the same thing, while readying a Multi-Attack. They both collided and started their fight.

00000000000000

Gardevoir was at the beach covered in sand. There were many holes in the sand everywhere. She looked tired and looked at the tan key in her hand. "Why was it so hard to get this? You think it would've been easier than this."

00000000000000

Elgyem was searching through the dark caves in any hopes in finding the key. "W-Wow, i-it's so dark and s-scary here." Elgyem said.

Suddenly, Elgyem jumped when he heard some snoring up ahead. "H-Hello? W-Who's there?" Elgyem asked.

There was nothing except more snoring as a response. Elgyem shivered in fear. "I-I hope whatever's i-in here is h-harmless." He kept on going further in the cave until he stopped. He was paralyzed with fear at what he saw.

At the end of the cave was a Sharpedo, lying on the wet rocks near the water. He was the one who was snoring. And laying right beside him, was the dark-blue key. Elgyem gulped. "T-This is b-bad, r-really bad."

00000000000000

The storage room was now a complete mess. Everything was now practically destroyed. But that didn't stop Bisharp and Kadabra from their fight.

Bisharp would keep on slashing at Kadabra, but he would either dodge or deflect them with his Psycho cut. Kadabra would also try to fire some Focus blasts, but Bisharp would also dodge or use protect to block them.

Bisharp went to Night slash him again and Kadabra aimed his Focus blast at Bisharp. Their attacks collided again and brought them both back a few feet.

Bisharp huffed. "This is only delaying your defeat." "Not unless I beat you first." Kadabra said with a determined look.

Bisharp growled and charged at him again. He began his onslaught of Night slashes again. Only he didn't stop once. He just kept going faster and faster. Kadabra was trying to avoid as much as he can, but in the end, he couldn't keep up with Bisharp's speed.

Kadabra was finally hit with a Night slash and was sent flying. He crashed into some boxes and groaned in pain. He looked around to see anything could help him, but he widened his eyes when he saw something particular.

About a few feet away from him was the magenta key. "The key!" Kadabra said to himself. He looked back at Bisharp and he was slowly approaching him with Night slashes ready.

He aimed at some boxes and used psychic to through them at Bisharp. This caused Bisharp to be buried with boxes. He then used psychic on the key and made it go towards him.

With the key now in his hands, Kadabra quickly teleported away before anything else would happen to him.

Soon after, Bisharp slashed his way through the boxes and tried to find Kadabra. When he looked around and found no sight of the Psi Pokemon, he got angry and yelled at the ceiling. "KADABRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

00000000000000

Kadabra: Kadabra looked extremely worn out from his recent encounter with Bisharp. But he smirked when he looked at the key in his hand. "Sorry Bisharp, but it looks like I am staying here for quite some time."

00000000000000

Silvally was catching his breath from his fight with the Haxorus. The Haxorus on the other hand was knocked out cold. Silvally looked at the white key in his hands and grinned. "Told you this was an easy one."

00000000000000

Eelektross and Weavile were looking at the three plates of food. "So, which one could it be?" Weavile asked. "Don't know, maybe the pizza and turkey sandwich, considering that they weren't poisoned last time." Eelektross deduced.

"But Roran could also be screwing with us." Weavile pointed out. "Good point." Eelektross then turned to Weavile. "So… why are you helping me again?"

Weavile sighed. "There's no way I can take Malik alone. So I'm helping you get your key so you can help me get mine."

Eelektross nodded. "Thanks, I guess." He then looks at the food again and takes a deep breath. "Well… I believe we have to guess which food isn't poisoned. You take the turkey sandwich, and I'll take the chicken."

Weavile nodded. "Alright." Weavile took the turkey sandwich in her hands while Eelektross took the chicken. Eelektross took another deep breath. "Alright, let's hope these aren't poisoned."

Weavile and Eelektross then took a bite of their food, hoping that none of them would get poisoned. But soon after, nothing happened. Eelektross looked at his food and sighed with relief. "Mine isn't poisoned." Weavile also looked at her food. "Mine either."

But Weavile also noticed something in her sandwich. There was a hint of yellow in it. Curious, she went and picked it out of the sandwich. But what she picked out was the yellow key. "I take it this is your key?" Weavile presumed.

Eelektross widened his eyes and grabbed the key. "It is. THanks Weavile." Weavile grinned. "Anything for a fellow alliance member. Now you help me get mine, right?" Eelektross nodded. "Right."

00000000000000

Aggron was looking around the campgrounds. He remembered the laughing challenge included the springy chairs, but he has no idea where they did the challenge. "Damn, why do I have such a crappy memory?" Aggron asked himself.

He was still having trouble finding any chairs until just now. Right before his eyes, was a red chair. Aggron grinned. "There it is!"

He rushed towards the chair but stopped when he found a note in front of it. He picked it up and read the note. "Try it out.".

Aggron arched his brow at the card in confusion. "Try it out? Like, sitting on it?" He shrugged and decided to sit on the chair, but nothing happened. He waited there for a couple of minutes to see if anything's changed. But still, nothing happened.

"Huh? You think something would've happened by now." He looked at the red card again and then had an epiphany. "Oh, I have to laugh, don't I? Crap. So what's funny enough to make me laugh? Wait! There was the outhouse prank that Malik pulled on Hydreigon! That was so funny."

Aggron started laughing from remembering the prank, but suddenly got launched into the air by the chair. Aggron screamed for his life before he landed the ground, hard.

Aggron groaned in pain and got up, but quickly smiled at what he saw next. Under the now springing chair, was the red key. He picked up the key and laughed. "Now that's what I'm talking about!"

00000000000000

Meanwhile, Elgyem was trying to figure out how to get the key without waking up the sleeping Sharpedo. He tried to get closer, but every time he tried, he would always jump back in fear by the Sharpedo's snoring.

So this time, he tried using using psychic to slowly bring the key to him. The key was slowly going towards Elgyem and he grinned. That was until the Sharpedo rolled over and buried the key with his body.

Elgyem sighed. "A-Ah man, w-why me?" Elgyem then tried using psychic again on the key, but he was struggling. The key was moving around the Sharpedo's body, but it wouldn't come out.

With the key moving around, this causes the Sharpedo to slowly open his eyes and yawn. Elgyem stopped using psychic and froze up.

The Sharpedo went to the water and looked around, only to see a scared Elgyem. "Who are you?" He growled in a menacing voice.

00000000000000

Hydreigon was really frustrated. He was flying all over the forest, checking every tree, checking every rock, but couldn't find his key. "DAMMIT! WHERE THE HELL IS THAT #$%^ING KEY?!"

"ATTENTION LADDIES, YA ONLY HAVE ONE HOUR LEFT TA FIND YOUR KEYS! HURRY, OR YA WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATED!" Roran shouted through the intercom.

Hydreigon yelled in anger and fired a Hyper Beam at a nearby tree. "#%^&! #%^&! #%^&!"

00000000000000

Absol was walking in the forest when he heard the announcement. "Damn, I've been walking in this forest for miles and I still haven't found a single lake." He said to himself.

But his luck soon changed when he went through some bushes and laid his eyes upon a nearby lake.

He smiled. "There we go! Now to find that key!" He ran towards the lake and jumped in. He went to the bottom of the lake and looked around, searching for his key.

He was still searching, but couldn't find anything. "That key has to be here somewhere." Absol thought to himself. He was still swimming in the lake until he found something different.

About a few feet near him, lied the blue key. Absol grinned. "Finally!" Absol swam towards the blue key and grabbed it. "Now I just need to get out of here and-"

Suddenly, his horn started shaking like crazy. "The hell? What could be-" Absol stopped when he saw a giant Gyarados just a few feet from him. The Gyarados gave a mighty roar at him while Absol just screamed through the water.

Soon after, Absol jumped out of the water, screaming for his life while the Gyarados rose out of the water and roared again. The Gyarados then raised his tail and tried to use an Aqua tail at Absol. But thanks to his horn, he managed to dodge the attack while still running for his life.

The Gyarados now fired a couple of Hydro pumps at the Disaster Pokemon, but Absol still dodged all of them with his horn. The Gyarados kept on his onslaught until Absol was finally out of sight.

00000000000000

Absol: Absol was hyperventilating. "I'm gonna kill Malik! You hear me?! KILL HIM!"

00000000000000

Weavile and Eelektross both just heard Roran's announcement. "Great, we only have an hour left to get my key." Weavile scowled. "Yeah, so I guess it's now or never." Eelektross said.

Weavile and Eelektross peaked over to look at the kitchen and sees Malik, sleeping on a rocking chair. He still has his meat cleaver in one hand, but in his other hand was the maroon key.

Weavile smirked. "Okay, I sneak in and get the key, and you warn me if he wakes up, got it?" Eelektross nodded. "Yep. Good luck, you're gonna need it."

Weavile looked back at the kitchen and took a deep breath. She then tip-toed her way to the kitchen making sure not to wake the Flame Pokemon. She got closer until she was within reach of the key. She slowly moved her claw towards the key until she snatched it from Malik's grip. She smirked, she finally got her key.

But that was short lived when Eelektross saw Malik waking up. "Weavile, RUN!" Eelektross shouted. Weavile looked up and saw Malik starting to wake up. She screamed and then bolted out of the kitchen.

WHen Malik was fully awake, he noticed Weavile screaming while running away with Eelektross and the key that was in his hand was gone. He growled. "Dammit, I let that weasel slip past me."

He then huffed. "Whatever, my job's done. I was only told to guard the key, not chase her if she does get it." Malik then yawned and wen back to sleep, not wanting to do anything else.

00000000000000

Torracat frantically looked all over the boats, but was unable to find nothing. When he heard the announcement, he panicked. "Dammit! I can't find the key anywhere! The card shows a boat, so where the hell is it?!"

He keeps looking all over until he sees something different. Far off in the ocean, was another boat. Torracat smiled. "That must be where the key is!"

So now, Torracat went to the nearest boat and turned it on. He then drove the boat and started his path towards the lone boat.

00000000000000

"I asked you a question. Who are you?" Sharpedo repeated. Elgyem shook himself back to reality and looked at Sharpedo, nervously. "I-I'm E-Elgyem."

Sharpedo arched his brow at him curiously, but growled again. "Well then Elgyem, why are you here?" "W-Well, I-I came here f-for that k-key y-you have. I-I kinda n-need it." Elgyem responded.

Sharpedo looked at the dark-blue key near him and whacked it to Elgyem. "Hear, take it." Elgyem caught it with psychic and placed it in his hand. "W-Wow, t-that was e-easy. I-I thought y-you w-were going to a-attack me."

Sharpedo frowned. "There's no reason to. Fighting you won't bring everyone I lost. It's pointless, when you're all alone."

"A-Alone? W-What h-happened?" Elgyem asked. Sharpedo looked at Elgyem with a sad face. "You should know. Since you and everyone else took them all away." Elgyem looked at him, confused.

Sharpedo looked at Elgyem and sighed. "Let me explain. First off, my name is Varx, and I'm the last of the blue brothers.

00000000000000

Hydreigon and having a raging fit. He still couldn't find the key anywhere. He wasn't able to get anywhere, whether he would search a tree for it or destroyit.

the entire tree itself. "ARCEUS #$%^ING DAMMIT! I STILL CAN'T FIND THE %^$&ING KEY!" Hydreigon roared.

"ATTENTION LADDIES, YA NOW HAVE 30 MINUTES UNTIL TIME RUNS OUT! BETTER HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" Roran shouted through the intercom.

If Hydreigon was now shaking with rage. "#$%^ MY #$%^ING LIFE!"

00000000000000

Torracat had just made it to the lone boat when the announcement was heard. "Crap! I need to find the key, quick!" He jumped to the other boat and started looking.

Soon enough, he finally found his indigo key. "Yes! Now I need to get back ASAP! Or else, I'll be gone! The last thing I need is WEAVILE outlasting me!"

00000000000000

Meanwhile, Elgyem was still with Varx in the cave. "W-Well V-Varx, D-don't think t-that. I don't think t-that you're the l-last one." Elgyem assured.

Varx shook his head. "Well I don't think, I know." "H-How can y-you be so c-certain?" Elgyem asked.

Varx sighed. "Before the assault, I was Boss's top lieutenant, his right hand man. I was the one who made the battle strategies against you guys. The one who would help lead the charge for our family. Of course, I never actually made it to the battle, because I overslept."

"Y-You o-overslept?" Elgyem asked. "Believe me, if you were planning strategies all night, you would be tired too." Varx replied. "Anyways, after I woke up and realized I missed the assault, I went to the cliff to make sure that there wasn't any serious damage."

Varx sighed. "I was horribly wrong. No one was there. None of the other blue brothers were there. No brothers, nor the females, not even the children. Boss wasn't even there, which meant one thing. We were beaten. So now, I'm the only blue brother left. No one else to call family."

"N-Now I'm s-sure that's not true." Elgyem assured. "Really? Can you tell me where they are then?" Varx asked.

Elgyem looked nervous. "W-Well, n-no." "Then how do you know? How do you know that I'm not alone in this hell?" Varx asked, starting to get mad. "How do you know that I'm not just paying for my actions? If I was there, I'm sure it would've ended differently. Instead, I have no one! No one to call family! No one to call a friend! It's just me in this damn cave!

Elgyem looked sad. "W-Well, I'm s-sorry that y-you feel this way. I w-wish I could help." Varx sighed. "It's fine. Just… just go. I'm not going to hurt you. Fighting you won't bring them back anyways. Just leave in this cave to rot." Elgyem nodded. "O-Okay, goodbye V-Varx."

With that, Elgyem teleported away, leaving the Brutal Pokemon to himself. Varx sighed and decided to go back to the rocks to sleep. There was nothing else he wanted to do anyways.

00000000000000

"ATTENTION LADDIES, YA NOW HAVE TEN MINUTES TA FIND YOUR KEYS. OR ELSE, YA WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATED. GOOD LUCK!" Roran shouted through the intercom.

Hydreigon growled and shot a Hyper Beam into the sky. "That's it! I give up! There's no way in HELL that I'm finding that key!"

"You mean, this key?" Someone asked. Hydreigon turned around and dropped his jaw. Ferrothorn had the dark-green key in his hand. "H-How? How did you find it?" Hydreigon asked, completely shocked.

"This? I found this about ten minutes ago, in some old tree." Ferrothorn replied. "You can have it if you want."

Hydreigon went to Ferrothorn and grabbed the key. He looked at Ferrothorn with the same shocked expression. "Thanks Ferro, I owe ya one."

Ferrothorn smiled kindly. "Don't worry about it. I just like helping others. It's what I do."

00000000000000

As soon as Roran's announcement finished. Torracat came in and crashed the beach with his vote.

He then got out and started running, towards the campgrounds. "I hope I'm not to late!" Torracat said to himself.

00000000000000

Roran was checking his watch at the center of the campgrounds with everyone else. Hydreigon, Ferrothorn, and Torracat were the only ones who didn't arrive at the center yet.

"Alright laddies, we have one minute before time runs out!" Roran shouted. "I hope Torracat makes it in time." Gardevoir whispered. "I'm sure he's fine. He probably lost track of time that's all." Aegislash assured. "I hope you're right." Gengar mumbled.

"You better make it in time Hydreigon." Bisharp mumbled. "If not, there will be major complications for Team Mason."

"I-I hope F-Ferro makes it in t-time." Elgyem whispered. "I-It would be s-sad if he d-didn't." Glaceon yawned. "I hope so too Elgyem, I hope so too."

"We now have ten seconds left!" Roran shouted. "Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Tw-"

"WAIT!" Hydreigon, Torracat, and Ferrothorn shouted as they entered the area. "We're here!" Torracat shouted. "Don't you dare automatically eliminate us!" Hydreigon added. "Phew, I need to catch my breath." Ferrothorn said.

Roran grinned. "Well laddies, it's seems you all made it just in time." Torracat, Hydreigon, and Ferrothorn sighed with relief. "So now that everyone's here, is anyone gonna trade their keys?" Roran asked.

Aggron looked at his key then at Pyroar's. He liked the silver key more than his. "Hey Pyroar, you mind if we trade keys?" Aggron asked.

Pyroar looked at her key then grinned. "Sure Aggron, I'll trade with you." Aggron smiled. "Thanks." Pyroar and Aggron then switched their keys. "Haha, I always loved the color silver." Aggron said.

Weavile looked at her key and scowled. "Just looking this key reminds me of that crazy ape. I don't want it. Will someone trade this with me?" Eelektross shivered. "Sorry, but I like my key where it is."

"If you want, I'll trade it with you." Ferrothorn offered. "Really, you'll do that for me?" Weavile asked. Ferrothorn smiled kindly. "Sure, if you really don't want it, you can have mine."

Weavile smiled at him, almost looking sincerely kind to him. "Thanks Ferro, you're not so bad. Maybe you can-"

"DON'T YOU DO IT! DON'T YOU %^$&ING DO IT!" Torracat yelled. "I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CORRUPT THE KINDEST POKEMON IN THE SHOW!"

"So, is there anyone else trading?" Roran asked. Silence was his response. "Okay, so that means we can start opening the chests! First up is Elgyem."

Elgyem sighed. "Yay." He opened his box and it revealed a card that said 3x. "3x? W-What does t-that mean?" Elgyem asked.

"Wow laddie, ya must be extremely lucky. For the next elimination ceremony, this card allows ya ta have three times the vote. Use it wisely." Roran said.

"W-Wow, I-I guess I must be p-pretty lucky." Elgyem said, grinning. Everyone looked at Elgyem with either concerned looks, or with hostile glares.

00000000000000

Bisharp: "Hmm, very interesting. If I can somehow persuade Elgyem to vote with me-"

Kadabra: "Then I will finally be able to eliminate Bisharp." Kadabra then smirked. "This can be quite useful."

Eelektross: Eelektross sighed. "One way or another, we're screwed."

00000000000000

Glaceon went next and opened his chest. Inside was coffee mix. "You have got to be kidding me." Glaceon drawled. "Don't look at me it's random." Roran defended.

Pyroar opened hers next and she pulled out a card. "Get out of challenge free card." She read off. "Congratulations Pyroar! Ya now get ta choose ANY challenge ya don't wanna participate in. But be careful, this does not keep ya safe from elimination ceremonies. So the rest might vote ya out for not participating." Roran warned.

Pyroar grinned. "I'll keep that in mind. This is a really great prize." Aggron dropped his jaw. If he didn't trade keys with Pyroar, he would've won that prize. "Let me get mine!" Aggron shouted.

Aggron went and unlocked his chest, only to find a fruitcake. Aggron groaned. "This is my own fault."

00000000000000

Pyroar: Pyroar was looking at her card, intently. "Hmm, I wonder how I'll use this card. I'm so glad Aggron traded keys with me. This could really help me in the long run."

Aggron: Aggron was punching the side of the confessional while angrily swearing in the process.

00000000000000

Gardevoir opened her's next and she gave a angry glare at Roran. "Really?" Gardevoir asked while pulling up a bikini outfit. Roran laughed nervously. "Hey, there's only five female Pokemon here. I was only putting it there ta play a joke on the guys. It's all chance I tell ya."

00000000000000

Gardevoir: Gardevoir crossed her arms. "Yeah right, more like rigging the chests if you ask me."

00000000000000

Bisharp opened his next and he pulled out a chess set. Bisharp arched his brow at the chess set curiously, but shrugged. It wasn't the worst prize he could've got.

Hydreigon hurried and opened his chest, but he looked furious when he pulled out a banana. "Are. You. KIDDING ME?! I WENT THROUGH HELL AND BACK! AND ALL I GET, IS A %^$&ING BANANA?!"

Roran grinned nervously and took a few steps back. "Hey now, don't be too mad about it. I mean, a banana is good for ya. So I don't see why you're complaining?"

Hydreigon growled. " I'M GONNA BEAT THE LIVING $%^& OUT OF YOU!" Hydreigon then roared and charged at Roran. "OH $%^&!" Roran shouted while he ran away from the three headed hydra. Joey sighed. Intermission.

00000000000000

After a few minutes later, Hydreigon cooled off a bit. But not before he gave Roran a black eye. "Alright, due ta… unfair prizes, Hydreigon gets immunity for the next challenge." Roran said. "DAMN STRAIGHT!" Hydreigon yelled. "So let's continue opening the chests, shall we?" Roran asked.

Greninja opened her chest next and she got a katana. "Is this real?" Greninja asked. "Yep, and that's not all." Roran said. Greninja looked at the chest again and also found a waiver. "What's this?"

"That is ta make sure that ya don't use that ta kill anyone with it. Now just go sign it already." Roran ordered. Greninja shrugged and signed the waiver.

00000000000000

Greninja: Greninja was now looking at her newly acquired katana. "Damn, it's a shame that I can't use this on anyone. And I already had a few ideas on who to use it on too."

Eelektross: "Note to self, don't EVER piss off Greninja again!"

00000000000000

Mienshao opened her's next and she got a camera while Gengar opened his next and he got some cool looking yellow glasses that had red glass instead of clear. "Cool." Gengar said while putting on the glasses. "Hey Mienshao, take a picture of this."

Mienshao smiled and took a picture of Gengar with the glasses on. "Here you go." Mienshao said while also giving the picture to Gengar. Gengar looked at the picture and smiled. "Sweet."

Torracat hoped and prayed that it wasn't an automatic elimination card when he opened his chest. But he got lucky when it was only a box full of matches. "The hell? Well, at least it isn't an automatic elimination card." Torracat said to himself.

Kadabra opened his chest next and received a book. It was a guide for dummies on how to get "lucky" with someone. Kadabra widened his eyes a bit and quickly hid the book so no one could see what it was.

00000000000000

Kadabra: "Don't look at me like that. I may be smart, but I need this book. It could help with some… problems, that I have."

00000000000000

Aegislash opened his chest next and pulled out a knife sharpener. "Are you sure this is random?" Aegislash asked, looking at Roran curiously. "Of course." Roran retorted. "I mean, Bisharp could've used that as well. Not everything's about ya."

Aegislash looked at his knife sharpener again and just shrugged. "I could've got something worst than this, so whatever."

Absol unlocked his chest and pulled out a card. "What's this?" Absol asked, showing a card with a question mark on it. Malik swore, he was hoping Absol would pull out the automatic elimination card.

"Ah, that's a special card lad." Roran replied. "Ya see, this card prevents anyone other then yourself from getting eliminated in ANY elimination ceremony. But there's a catch. If ya do use this card, I would have ta randomly pick another contestant ta be eliminated. So be very careful with this card. Use this, and it may cost ya."

Absol looked at the card again and gulped. He would have to use this card only if he was desperate enough to.

There were now, only four Pokemon left to open their chest. Weavile was the next one to open her chest. Some Pokemon were praying to Arceus that she would get the automatic elimination card.

00000000000000

Torracat: "Arceus, if you're hearing me right now, I promise to evolve if you eliminate Weavile right now."

00000000000000

Weavile pulled up a card and read it off. "Get out of elimination free card." "Congratulations Weavile! Ya get ta be free from ANY elimination ceremony! If you were going ta be eliminated, ya can use that card instead ya will be immune from elimination."

Some of the other Pokemon cursed when they heard that, but Weavile just grinned.

00000000000000

Weavile: "ANY elimination huh?" Weavile snickered. "Interesting."

Torracat: Torracat was cussing up a storm in the confessional.

00000000000000

So there was only Ferrothorn, Silvally, and Eelektross left. And only one of them gets automatically eliminated.

Bisharp and Kadabra were trying to figure out which key. White means pure, and it could be the opposite. Yellow could mean cowardice, and that could be a bad sign too.

Maroon was the darkest of the colors, so Ferrothorn could be eliminated. But since Aegislash had a black key and was fine, that disproved the darkest color theory.

But both Bisharp and Kadabra remembered one thing. This was Roran they were talking about. Bisharp looked at Roran and widened his eyes. "Damn, that egotistical bastard." Kadabra looked at all the keys and made the connection. He knew who had the automatic elimination card.

Ferrothorn opened his key next and pulled out a card. "Sorry, but you are automatically eliminated. Thanks for playing."

Everyone grew silent after that. Not even Roran, Malik, nor Joey said anything.

"Wha… What?" Gengar asked, completely shocked. "That, can't be true." Gardevoir whispered.

00000000000000

Bisharp: "Think about it, Roran is an evil sadist. He is also an egotistical bastard. So what type of key would be the one to eliminate someone? The one that would have the same color as Roran.

00000000000000

"Silvally… Eelektross… please open your chests." Roran insisted softly. Silvally opened his and got a flare gun Eelektross picked up an aluminum bat.

"Ferro… I'm truly sorry ta say this lad, but ya sadly have the key that causes ya ta be automatically eliminated." Roran said, sighing sadly.

Ferrothorn frowned, but then looked up, smiling sadly. "It's okay, I have had a lot of fun with you guys. I'll go get my things."
"NO!" Hydreigon shouted flying in front of him. "I refuse to let you leave!" "Hydreigon," Bisharp started. "What are you-"

"Ferro is the only reason I got my #$%^ing key! If it wasn't for him, I would've been automatically eliminated!" Hydreigon admitted. He then looks at Roran. "Roran, I will like to trade my immunity for Ferro!"

Roran shook his head. "Sorry Hydreigon, but all immunities are voided today. Ya can't use yours ta help Ferro." "BULL$%^&!" Hydreigon yelled. "So I can't use mine either?" Absol asked. Roran shook his head again. "Sorry lad." "Damn"

Most of the Pokemon were sad, so they did something unexpected. They all hugged Ferrothorn, even though they were all pricked by his barbs. Ferrothorn laughed joyfully and hugged them back. "Guys, it's okay. As long as I wasn't vote out, I'm happy."

"B-But, y-you deserve t-this." Elgyem pleaded. "You helped us a lot. Bad things shouldn't happen to good people." Glaceon drawled.

The only ones who didn't say goodbye to Ferrothorn were Hydreigon, Bisharp, and Weavile.

Weavile just walked off. She glanced at Ferrothorn for a while until she turned away. Bisharp didn't feel like he was the kind of Pokemon to give hugs to anyone other than Mienshao. So he just watched with a sad expression.

Hydreigon on the other hand was too mad to say goodbye to Ferrothorn. So he just flew away out of rage.

00000000000000

Ferrothorn gave everyone another hug and told them all goodbye. He was about to get on the Lapras when Hydreigon was seen, blocking his way. Hydreigon had a sad face. "I'm… sorry, for intimidating you to vote with me last challenge."

Ferrothorn smiled. "That's okay, as long as you're sorry, then I forgive you." Hydreigon sighed. "It's not fair, you're the one who saved me from getting eliminated. You shouldn't be the one to leave."

Ferrothorn shrugged. "Oh well, that's how life works I guess. I'm fine with it. Because it's good to know that you care." "Yeah, whatever. Goodbye, I guess." Hydreigon said.

Ferrothorn smiled and hugged Hydreigon. Hydreigon winced in pain, but held it in and patted his head.

Ferrothorn separated and went on the Lapras. "Tell everyone I said goodbye!" "Yeah, I will." Hydreigon said as he waved Ferrothorn goodbye. Ferrothorn waved goodbye until he was gone from sight.

00000000000000

Ferrothorn: "Wow, I didn't expect everyone to make a big deal out of it. I came here to make friends and to have fun. And that's what I did. I hope I made everyone happy while I was here. Do I have to choose someone? I everyone should win. I don't think I can just choose one Pokemon. I'll gladly encourage everyone. I was also happy that everyone wanted me to stay, even Hydreigon. So all in all, this experience was worth WAY much more than the million Pokedollars. I don't want to keep you forever, so I guess I have to go. Thanks for the fun time everyone! And good luck!

00000000000000

"Well then, that's another one who bites the dust, and me gaining an advantage. I'd say today was a good day." Weavile said, grinning.

Torracat's eyes lit up with anger. "You did NOT just say that?! If it wasn't for you, he would still be here! You should thank Ferro for saving your ass!"

"That wouldn't happen if he wasn't so kind. He would still be here with the rest of you guys. I'd say that's a thing that Ferro should blame himself for.

"You're lucky that I'm so sivil. Or else, I would've slapped you by now." "I second that motion." Gengar said. "You try, and I put you both to the ground right now." Silvally said, growling at the two.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I was going to have Team Mason vote off Ferro eventually anyways. He was a huge threat after all." Weavile said.

"How can Ferro EVER be a threat?! He would never hurt anyone!" Gardevoir protested angrily.

"But because of his niceness, he would never be targeted. And that's why-"

"WEAVILE!" Bisharp shouted suddenly.

Weavile stopped and everyone was surprised. Bisharp of all Pokemon shouted at Weavile.

"Stop." Bisharp ordered. "Why?" Weavile asked. "I know you of all Pokemon agree with me on this. Ferro was an idiot to be nice all the time. He-"

"Weavile!" Bisharp shouted again. "Ferrothorn's niceness is the only reason that you're still here. He was the nicest Pokemon on the island. He never got mad, never got upset, and never said anything bad to anyone. That kind of niceness is VERY hard to come by these days, and Ferrothorn had nothing, but niceness in him. So for his sake, stop. Just for today."

Everyone couldn't believe what was going on. Bisharp actually told Weavile off, for Ferrothorn's sake. Bisharp looked at Mienshao and she smiled while she nodded in approval.

Weavile said nothing as she just huffed and walked away. Silvally and the rest of Team Mason soon followed her. Bisharp just looked at everyone before he walked off as well. No had anything to say either, so they all left the campfire as well.

00000000000000

Team Mason had all gathered for another meeting. When Bisharp arrived, Weavile gave him a nasty glare. "Nice going Bisharp, if you didn't say anything, I would've-"

"Weavile, if I did saying, you probably would've got slapped by now." Bisharp retorted.

Weavile stopped talking and just crossed her arms.

"Anyways, on to business." Bisharp continued. "I finally have ourselves our next target." "Really? Who?" Hydreigon asked. Bisharp looked at Hydreigon and grinned. "Kadabra."

Everyone grew tense. "Are you sure?" Eelektross asked. "Yes, if we take out the leader, we should take down Team Hurricane completely. All we need, is Elgyem to vote with us."

"I don't think that can happen." Aggron said. "Elgyem's with Glaceon, and he won't be so keen on voting with us."

"We can take care of that later. But the elimination of Kadabra is our new top priority. We must make sure that goal is accomplished in order to truly dominate the competition." Bisharp said, clenching his fist.

00000000000000

Team Hurricane joined up for another meeting. There was something that Kadabra had to discuss with the others. "So… are just going to ignore what just happened tonight?" Torracat asked. "I mean, Bisharp just told Weavile off, so that she would stop insulting Ferro. He did something… nice."

"It is strange, but it could just be a rouse in order to make us think he's not a bad guy." Aegislash guessed. "I doubt it. When Bisharp said all of that, it felt… genuine." Gardevoir said.

"Whatever the case may be, Bisharp is still a threat." Kadabra said. "And that's why… we have to vote him out as soon as possible."

"Really? Do you think we can really vote Bisharp of all Pokemon out?" Gengar asked.

"Yes, with Elgyem's help, I believe we have a fair chance in voting Bisharp out." Kadabra deduced.

"Again, Glaceon still hates you. We can't just go asking them to help us because they may not like Bisharp more than you." Absol argued.

"That may be a problem, but we have to try. If we can take out Bisharp, then we take out Team Mason's leader, their brains of the operation." Kadabra said. "If we can do that, then we'll cripple Team Mason. With that, we can take out all their members next, and finally beat them, once and for all."

00000000000000

Roran was looking out at the ocean rather curiously. He then looked at the camera and grinned. "Well laddies, I hope ya had fun with this episode! It was definitely excitin' ta see it all through. Ferrothorn was surprisingly eliminated due ta not being lucky, A lot of Pokemon defended him and wished him goodbye, even some like Hydreigon and Bisharp. That was surprisin'. Bisharp was actually nice? Now I know for sure that the apocalypse is here. And the battle with Bisharp and Kadabra was the most thrillin' thin' I've seen yet! So what will happen next?! Will there be another clash like Bisharp vs. Kadabra?! Will there anymore surprisin' eliminations?! And will Bisharp keep playin' the role of being a nice guy?!" Roran then raises his hands out of excitement. "Find out, on the next episode of TOTAL POKEMON ISLAND!"

00000000000000

Malik was sleeping peacefully in his bed. That was until he was hearing the sound of water. He yawned and opened his eyes to see what's going on. But he quickly widened them when he realized he was in the middle of the lake. "The hell?" Malik asked himself.

Then suddenly, a giant Gyarados was slowly rising out of the water. Malik slowly turned around and saw the giant Gyarados. It was glaring at Malik with angry eyes. Malik looked petrified with fear. "Help."

The Gyarados then gave a mighty roar and raised his tail for an Aqua tail. Malik screamed for his life.

WHACK!

SLAM!

SPLASH!

CHOMP!

BONK!

THUMP!

00000000000000

Deep in the cave by the cliff, Varx was resting. Suddenly, Varx woke up at the sound of a boat approaching. He went in the water and indeed saw a boat coming towards him. The boat stopped and it showed Roran on the boat.

Vax looked confused. "Who are you?" Roran grinned and tipped his hat at Varx. "Hello there laddie, me name is Roran, Roran the Zoroark. And it's a pleasure ta meet ya."

"Roran?" Varx asked. "The same Roran that led the other Pokemon to attack us?" "More like defendin' against ya. Ya Sharpedos were the ones to attack first." Roran protested.

Varx growled. "What do you want? Have you come here to finish us off? I am the last blue brother, so killing me will finish the job."

"Woah there laddie, who says I'm killin' ya? I just came here ta tell ya somethin'." Varx growled. "Well, what the hell is it?"

Roran grinned. "You're not the last one. There's more of ya out there." Varx widened his eyes out of shock. "Really? But I thought you killed them all?"

Roran gave a short chuckle. "Laddie, I'm not a murderer. Not one Sharpedo died that day, not even Boss." "Then… then where are they?"

"Well, the other male Sharpedos are either in juby, or in prison. The females had ta relocated for witness protection. And the children are either with the females, or in adoption centers. As for Boss, I have no idea where Boss is. He escaped before we could take him anywhere else. But I assure ya, they're all very much alive."

"Well, excluding the ones before the assault." Roran whispered that last part.

Varx couldn't believe what he was hearing. It seems he actually isn't the last blue brother alive. There are more out there, somewhere. "Thank you, for telling me this. It means a lot."

Roran tipped his hat at Varx. "Anytime laddie, but before I go, I have a proposition for ya."

Varx arched his brow at him. "What do mean by, 'proposition'?" "Right now, ya have two options. Option A, ya can stay here as much as ya like. But if ya ever harm me or any of the other contestants, we will stop ya. If it ever comes ta that that is." Roran said. "So what's Option b?" Varx asked.

Roran grinned. "Oh laddie, I think ya'll like Option B. How would ya like ta-"

00000000000000

Well laddies, what did Roran say ta Varx, only time will tell for this Sharpedo. And who won that fight with Bisharp and Kadabra? Bisharp had the upper hand while Kadabra did outsmart him enough ta escape. *Shrugs* I'll leave that one up ta ya lads.

And Ferrothorn is gone, poor lad. The ever so huger is gone, leavin' the Pokemon that are neutral smaller and smaller in numbers.

So what will the next chapter be?

Well, I'll give ya a hint. A famous killer that we all know of is on this show. And let's just say, that he's coming for ya. So ya might wanna lock your doors, get your crucifix, and stay up late. Or else, ya may never sleep again.

But until next time, I'll see ya around laddies!

Ferrothorn: Review everyone! And thank you for the support! Say, where's Braviary? I haven't given him a hug in a while.

Braviary: NO! PLEASE I DON'T NEED A-"

*Ferrothorn hugs Braviary*

Ferrothorn: Oh come now, everyone needs a good hug or two.

*Braviary is gasping for air*

Braviary: Arceus please save me!
