I had the idea for this chapter just out of the blue, and I thought how fun it would be to write this one up. I have to admit, so far, this is one of my favorite challenges. I do hope you enjoy!

"Rise and shine, campers!" Surge announced over the speakers. "Welcome to the umpteenth day of PokeSpecial Survivor! And I gotta say, there sure has been a lot of drama, what with the gross food, grueling challenges, and having to deal with each other, which is why today, we're taking a break. And by we, I mean Oak and I…yea, it's hard work filming all this stuff. Rest assured, you will have a challenge, and someone is going home tonight. But we won't be hosting your challenge…nope, today, you're someone else's problem…So get to the docks in five…we're taking you guys to the mainland!"

*One Hour Later*

By now, the campers were getting restless, having been uncomfortably cramped together into a tiny speedboat.

"Sheesh…" Green muttered, loud enough for the others to hear. "At the amount of time this is taking, you would think we were going to Johto again or something…"

*Goldenrod City*

"Welcome one and all!" A peculiar-looking man wearing a violet coat announced happily to his astounded audience that had just come from the docks. Green checked the map they'd been given to make sure this was, in fact, the place they were supposed to go. And it certainly was. Now, the five turned to view their strange host. His eyes were concealed by his black domino mask, and his hair was a striking purple color. On his head, he donned a tall green top hat, adding a good foot to his overall height.

"My name is Will!" The man announced enthusiastically, shaking each person's hand very quickly, and then giving them a wide smile. "Some might know me as being a member of the Elite 4. What you probably didn't know was that I'm also the owner of one of the biggest candy-making companies worldwide! And here we are, at my main factory, right here in Goldenrod!"

Will took a moment to enjoy his audience's expressions of awe as he led them down Goldenrod's main street, an enormous factory becoming visible over the horizon. "Now then," the man said, a mischievous smile flickering over his face, "I promised Oak I'd take care of your guys' challenge today…but why don't we have some fun first? Come on! Let me give you a tour of my place!"

And with that, the little man ran off to his beloved factory in the distance. The five contestants turned to give each other awkward looks, but then they all broke out into a run after him.

*In the Factory*

Green turned to give the others an exasperated look. Looking around, he could see Silver was obviously in a bad mood about something, and Gold seemed to be looking guiltier than usual. To their side, Blue was trying to console Yellow, who still seemed to be mourning Red. When the two girls realized Green was observing them, they both shot him evil looks. Well…he wasn't in such a great mood himself…after all, what was Will thinking anyways? Now was no time to be taking a break and taking a tour of some stupid chocolate factory.

"Hold up now!" Will called out, rapping his cane against the wall, nearly striking Green in the face. The little troupe had come to a dead end. Looking down, they noticed a tiny door maybe large enough for a Pichu to fit through. "Now then," Will said excitedly, "what you're about to see may well be one of the most awesome sights you'll ever see in your lives. Which is why I must ask you all not to lose your heads when we go through these doors, okay?" Everyone nodded yes, and watched as Will took out a tiny, golden key and inserted it into the keyhole.

*Confessionals*

Gold: "And then I saw it! It was so beautiful! It could have well been the most amazing sight I'd ever seen!"

Blue: "Wow…Will doesn't kid around when it comes to chocolate...I gotta hand it to him, this place is pretty epic!"

Green: "Pfft…what a lot of bravado for nothing…"

*The Chocolate Room*

"Oh my dear Arceus…" Gold made out, gaping in awe at the glorious sight before them. The door had led to an enormous room, which seemed to be like a scene straight from a children's storybook. There lay a giant meadow of luscious, green grass, thickly laden with gigantic orange pumpkins and round, green melons glistening in the light. And there were giant red mushrooms with delicate white spots, protruding out from the ground, standing tall over the heads of the tourists.

But the most remarkable feature by far was the waterfall. Yes…to the far end of the room, in the center of the wall, was a magnificent waterfall…rather, a chocolate fall, for it was spewing out gallons and gallons of rich brown chocolate, forming a nice little river below that ran throughht he meadows.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Will announced loudly. "I think so anyways…yessiree! And every inch of it tastes absolutely divine!"

Gold, along with all the others, turned to face Will. "You mean…this field is…?"

"Edible?" Will finished. "Of course it is! Why shouldn't it be? The river, you see, is one-hundred percent chocolate of the finest quality. Look!" He said, suddenly directing his attention to a giant glass pipe coming down from the ceiling and diving into the chocolate river. "You see? These pipes here, they take millions of gallons of chocolate every hour to all parts of the factory, where it's then processed into the most delectably, tantalizing treats you can imagine! Isn't that wonderful?"

Looking around, Will could see four faces nodding with amazement; even Green's scowl had melted off for a moment. However, it was then that Will noticed he was one head short. Turning to look, he noticed Gold had made no second thoughts about drinking straight from the river.

"Oh no!" Will cried out. "Gold! Please don't! My chocolate mustn't be touched by human hands! Don't be drinking from my river!"

But now, it was already far too late. For Gold, who'd been dunking his face into the chocolate, had just leaned in a bit too far, and in he fell…just as one of the pipes had come down into the chocolate.

"AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!" Gold cried out as he felt himself being sucked towards the pipe. Five faces looked on in abject horror…well, Green seemed to be enjoying himself, but the others watched hopelessly as Gold was sucked under the surface, only to shoot up immediately after in the glass pipe.

After the initial shock had quite died down, Will swallowed to himself, and merely put back on his bright smile.

"Well then…" he said, "that certainly is unfortunate, but don't, dear children, be alarmed. I promise Gold shall not be harmed. Although…I must admit, he may be altered quite a bit. He may have changed from what he's been, if he goes through the fudge machine." Noticing the strange looks he was getting, Will merely shook his head again, and said, "well now…let's continue…but please, I'd like to ask of you to try and be a bit more careful…"

*Confessionals*

Silver: "Whoa…what the heck was that? I mean…it looked like Will didn't even care or something. Was he making rhymes about Gold's accident? This is just kinda beginning to creep me out."

Blue:"And then Gold just went straight up the pipe like that! It was awesome!"

*The Inventing Room*

Now, four heads watched Will as he leaned against a giant machine in the center of the new room. This one, unlike the last, was filled with all sorts of various gizmos and gadgets, all lit up brightly, and noises of machinery at their work. The machine Will was leaning up against now, he had proclaimed, was going to make one of his greatest products yet.

"You see…" he said over the noise of the machinery. "This room is where all of my greatest inventions are tested. What you're about to see from this machine, will revolutionize the culinary world!"

Now, all the contestants had been watching with great curiosity at the giant machine, which Will had turned on minutes ago, and was still busily pounding away at something. Finally, it gave out a great puff of smoke, causing all those present to fall subject to a coughing fit, before the haze cleared, and Will stood triumphant, holding up a…stick.

"That's it?" Green asked, annoyed. "What the heck is that?"

"It's gum!" Blue exclaimed loudly.

"Wrong!" Will pronounced. "This here, is the most fabulous, sensational gum the world has ever seen. This stick of gum is a three-course dinner all on its own!"

"Really?" Blue said, in a testy way, "well then…let's test it out…see how well it works."

"Well…um, I'd rather you didn't, there's still one or two things that need figuring out before I can-"

"Oh to heck!" Blue said, snatching the piece of gum, and immediately, she started chewing away at it.

"What's it taste like?" Silver and Yellow asked with great curiosity. Green just rolled his eyes and turned to face elsewhere. Annoying woman.

"Amazing!" Blue exclaimed happily. "It's tomato soup! It's hot and creamy! And I can actually feel it running down my throat! Oh my…what marvelous soup, but oh? What's this? It's changing! Roast beef with baked potato! Crispy skin and butter! It's wonderful I tell you! Absolutely wonderful!"

Will interrupted. "Yea…I'm just concerned about the-"

"Blueberry pie and cream!" Blue announced. "Geez, this is the best by far! It's exactly like I'm swallowing great mouthfuls of the greatest blueberry pie there ever was! I gotta say Will, you had nothing to worry about…it's working just fine!"

"Blue!" Silver exclaimed with panic. "What's happening to your nose? Blue! Your whole nose has gone purple! Blue! You're turning blue!"

Blue looked up with a panicked expression, then looked down to see her body was swelling up like a balloon. Her body was already becoming much like that of a giant ball.

"Yea…" Will said nervously, "well…I told you I hadn't gotten it quite right…it's the dessert that does it. Always turns them into blueberries…but you see…it's totally wrong, to be chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long. Don't worry…I'll have her de-juiced immediately! And we can give her some of my special coloring candy to return her skin color to normal. Let's leave for now…soon, some of my well-trained Pokemon will come along the way to take her to the Juicing Room."

*Confessionals*

Yellow: "Things are getting stranger and stranger now. So you're telling me Blue got turned into a blueberry just by chewing some sorta gum? You know though…I think I've read something like this somewhere before."

*The Nut Room*

"Oh!" Will called out, now leading his troupe through the hallways. "This! This right here! It's an absolute must-see for our little tour."

"What is it?" Yellow asked with curiosity.

"Well you see…" Will began, "first off, you absolutely mustn't enter this room. But it's quite a sight, I tell you! Through these doors, are one-hundred Pachirisu. I have them inspect all the walnuts we use in making our candy, and the good ones…they keep them, you see, and shell them to use in candy. And the bad ones go down this giant hole in the center of the room, straight to the incinerator!"

"Why use Pachirisu?" Green asked irritably, "why not hire workers to shell the nuts instead like a normal factory would."

"What?" Yellow asked. "Pachirisu?" Then, her eyes changed into the puppy-dog eyes that only Blue could've used regularly…but it really did look just like Blue's eyes. Silver and Green were each having a hard time looking Yellow in the eye. "Aww…they're so cute! I wanna see them!" Yellow gushed. And before anyone could do anything, Yellow had shot off into the room, leaving the other three behind to watch.

All three of them crowded to get a glimpse through the tiny window showing the nut room. Yellow had entered, and was looking around to see all the Pachirisu, until her eyes fell upon one with the most luscious coat in the room. Tapping a nut against its head gingerly, it tossed the nut down the hole in the center of the room. As the Pachirisu was about to take another nut, it felt itself being picked up and squeezed by Yellow.

"Aww! You're just the cutest thing!" Yellow gushed over the Pokemon. "I wish I could just take you home with me!"

But now, the Pachirisu were sensing one of their brethren was in danger, and they immediately abandoned their posts, and hopped over to Yellow. Nervously looking around, she put the Pachirisu down, and gave it a light pat on the head.

"Umm…don't worry…" she began. "I meant him no harm." But the Pokemon didn't believe her, and all one-hundred of them immediately jumped on her, pinning her down, and one, their apparent leader, was now coming up to tap Yellow's head. Upon giving Yellow's head a few smart raps, he shook his head, and the others started carrying her towards the garbage chute.

"My Arceus!" Will gasped. "She is a bad nut. Well Yellow's gone down the garbage chute, and she will meet as she descends, a rather different set of friends. An fishbone, freshly cut, this morning from a halibut. An oyster from an oyster stew; a steak that no one else could chew…" He stopped when Green and Silver gave him another weird look. "Yes well…let's carry on now…"

*Confessionals*

Green: "So Yellow's a bad nut after all, eh? So now it's just Silver and me. Maybe I can get Silver to have some sort of 'accident' as well, and Will might just let me go. I hope so…this factory makes no sense at all…"

Silver: "Whoa…we're dropping like flies. I mean, Gold going up the pipe, Blue turning into a blueberry, and Yellow with the Pachirisu…I'd better watch myself…"

*The Television Room*

Now, the three remaining campers were standing in a pure white room. Green had requested this room when he saw it on a map of the factory. The room was impossibly long and narrow, painted entirely white, and at one end, a bunch of Porygon were handling a giant camera.

"Be careful here," Will said, knowing well that someone was going to screw up. "The equipment in this room right here is quite dangerous…wouldn't want anyone getting hurt. Now then…this room here holds my newest invention: television chocolate! I was watching television the other day, you see, and I was struck by a brilliant idea. If one can send an image through a television, why not a bar of chocolate? Don't you see? I've developed a type of beam for the Porygon to use, to transmit bars of my chocolate through television. Imagine you're watching TV, when you get a commercial. 'Try Willy's Chocolate…it's the absolute best! If you don't believe us, try so yourself!' And you just reach through the TV and grab a bar! Although…the bars have to be rather large. You see, everything gets smaller on the television screen, so my bars have to be quite enormous to start with."

By now, Green had been getting quite frustrated. "What? Churning chocolate by waterfall, gum that serves as dinner, Pachirisu to shell nuts, and now this? Nothing in your factory here makes any sense, Will!"

"Hey now, take it easy…" Will said nervously. "This thing works, I assure you."

"Oh my Arceus…" Green muttered. "Watch! I'll show just how lame this contraption of yours is." And with that, Green took off, running up to the filming pedestal, and gave the Porygon signal to fire their beam.

"Stop! Come back!" Will cried, but it was too late again, for Green had already been zapped by the light, and he had disappeared.

"He's gone!" Silver exclaimed.

"Well then, let's go check the television and see what we get." Will suggested. And the two hurried over to the television set at the end of the room.

"Silver!" Will called out, "hand me the remote…let's try some different channels."

And so, Will started flipping through all the different channels on the TV to see if Green was coming through clear. And after coming to one of DJ Mary's concerts, Green had appeared in full on the screen. Now, DJ Mary sang out, "the most important thing, that we ever learned…the most important thing we learned as far as children are concerned is never ever ever let, them near a television set. Better still, don't install the idiotic thing at all…"

Now, Will reached through the TV screen and pulled Green out, placing him on the counter. Green was now completely unharmed…well, except for the fact that he was now one inch tall.

"What the heck?" Green squeaked out. "How did this happen?"

"I told you the thing works." Will said triumphantly. "Now…as for you…hmm…I suppose I could try stretching you out on the gum-stretcher. It might be a bit painful, but it's the only way to get you back your height. Now then," he said, handing Green over to a Porygon. "How many children are left?"

Silver looked around hesitantly. "Sir, there's only me."

"What?" Will said, turning around quickly. "No more? Just you? Oh my dear boy! This means you've won today's challenge!" He held out his hand to shake Silver's and smiled joyfully. "I must call Oak, I do congratulate you my dear girl."

Pulling out his cell phone, he gave Oak a call, "Oak…we have a winner! Yes, the little girl with red hair. Yes, I'll be there right away."

He put his phone away, and beckoned to Silver. "Come on now then." He began. "The other children can go back to the island by boat…but we have a better means of transportation…" He pulled out a tiny remote control and pushed a button. Shortly after, a giant glass structure came crashing in through the ceiling.

"Come on now, my girl!" Will said. "We can take the Great Glass Elevator!"

So, what did you guys think? Not a lot of participation from the contestants themselves, but oh well. I promise they'll be back in action next time. Anyways…who's leaving this time, on PokeSpecial Survivor? I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you guys thought in the reviews!
