Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 002: Swarming Beedrill
[Kanto Region – Pokémon Nation] [Pokémon World]
[Pokémon Center, Viridian City] [August 12th, 2017]
Chris McLean (Narrator): Last time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure. After we sent all five teams into their designated regions, we have already finish preparations. For now, we will be focusing on Team Kanto. (Chris said. Scene shows Team Kanto meeting Professor Oak for the first time and much to the excitement of Pokémon fans like Daisuke, Cody and Akina. Next scene shows Kayoko battling Gary Oak's Squirtle with her Charmander and defeating it with ease and skills, much to the others' surprise.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): After Team Kanto's Kayoko bested Gary's Squirtle with her Charmander, they managed to complete their first task of delivering a parcel to the professor as he finishes building them all their own Pokédexes or Pokémon Encyclopedia. (Chris said. The scenes show Professor Oak finishing the Pokédexes, which were in the models of Generation I, as he gave each of them one, red for Cody, green for Ezekiel, cyan for Noah, brown for Heather, neon green for Ben, scarlet for Tatsumi, violet for Natsuko, crimson red for Alejandro, magenta for Anne Maria, blue for Daisuke, and pink for Akina. The next scenes show Heather battling and capturing a Pidgey and later on a Weedle while Akina battled and caught a Caterpie. And finally shows Team Kanto at Viridian City.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): What new challenges awaits them just before they can reach the gym at Pewter City as they are currently waiting for the right moment. (Chris said. After that the narration ends. Two days had passed since their arrival at the Kanto region. Inside a Pokémon Center, and yes run by Nurse Joy, were the few members of Team Kanto. Noah was currently reading a book regarding Pokémon with his Bulbasaur sitting next to him. Heather, Kayoko and Tatsumi were currently at a table eating breakfast; ICYMK they were eating actual animals such as chicken eggs and pig bacon. Cody yawned after getting dressed and getting up in the morning.)
Cody Anderson: Man, I had such a good sleep and you wanna know why it's such a good morning. (A happy Cody exclaimed. Heather and Kayoko rolled their eyes, not caring to know. Kayoko changed out of her uniform into her own casual attire of a light pink sleeveless tank top but with black straps and black rose ribbon below her cleavage, a short sleeve black fur collared jacket with her Ashioku clan crest on her back, a pair of black arm guards, a pair of pink long fingerless gloves, a black skirt with her family crest on the right side and a Poké Ball logo, long brown stocking and white high heel shoes.)
Akina: I know, it's because you weren't stalked or creeped out by Sierra sneaking in your room while you were asleep. (Akina answers casually. Like Kayoko, once she reached Viridian City, she changes outfit so out were her school uniform and in was a pink-collar shirt, with the bottom half being a light blue tank top bearing the Akina clan crest on the stomach area, a light blue mini skirt, white gloves, long purple arm spandexes, black stockings, white shin guards and pink sneakers. Coming along was Ben with his attire changed to a casual wear of long neon green jacket, with his Jutsuku clan crest on the right sleeve and a stylized "十" kanji on the left sleeve, a kimono-like black shirt and a green undershirt, a belt, jeans, and black boots.)
Ben: You must admit, it must've been a long time for Cody to sleep without any craze fan girls disturbing him and his privacy. Not to mention, all the training we've done yesterday. (Ben said. Coming into the café were Anne Maria who was spraying herself with a hair spray can, a newly dressed Tatsumi, wearing a scarlet knight armor of a chest plate, shoulder pads, gauntlets, waist guard, knee, and high heel sabaton. Her Akeito clan crest on displayed on the chest area, a black girdle, white blouse, blue skirt, diamond earrings, and a necklace in the shape of a Poke Ball. She brought her Charmander out of her Poké Ball. Natsuko came as well, with a new attire of a violet full body samurai armor with the Bushimori clan crest displayed on her chest, a white kimono with long sleeves, black fingerless gloves, a black stylish skirt, long black stockings and wearing black reinforced boots. In Natsuko's arms was a snorting Ezekiel as she gently placed him on a chair but fell on the table. Some of the others look worried.)
Heather: Ah…? What's with homeschool and why is he still sleeping? Did anyone kept an eye out in case he might become feral again. (Heather demanded. Some of the newcomers shook their heads.)
Kayoko: Wasn't it. (Kayoko said.)
Anne Maria: Nothing here. (Anne Maria said, not caring.)
Noah: Must've missed my scheduled shift. (Noah said sarcastically. Having enough of how they badmouth Ezekiel, Cody steps in.)
Cody Anderson: Come on, guys. Give Zeke a break! He got booted out first twice and he was working very hard to understand Pokémon capturing, type advantages, disadvantages and the locations where we're gonna go. (Cody said, defending Ezekiel. Then he saw everyone giving him a strange look at how much he knew of Ezekiel's activities yesterday.)
Cody Anderson: What? (Cody asked, forging oblivious when he actually knew the answer to that.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
Cody Anderson: Okay, I admit it. Two days ago, I saw Ezekiel looking down because he's afraid of being booted out first. So, I decided to help him out. Don't worry I didn't reveal nothing yet to happen, but I was just teaching Zeke the basics to Pokémon battles and surprisingly, he's getting a whole lot better. (Cody said with his Squirtle beside him.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Hooray for Ezekiel! | (Squirtle said happily.)
Cody Anderson: Amen to that, Squirtle. (Cody said. Then both Tiny Turtle Pokémon and trainer high fived each other.)

[Pokémon Center, Viridian City]
Akina: Jeez, you guys are just a bunch of worrywarts. (Akina said childishly.)
Ben: I agree. Cody was simply guessing what Ezekiel was doing after we all saw that battle against Gary with Kayoko using her Charmander. That's all. (Ben lied without flaw. Cody smiled gratefully at this.)

(Camera shows a shy, smiling Cody rubbing the back of his back with Squirtle by his side. Cody laughs shyly.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah, I forgot to mention. Along with me, Ben and Akina also know about Ezekiel's current progress after they spotted us training in Route 2 and have agreed to help him whenever I was busy training my own Pokémon. Isn't that right Squirtle? (Cody asked. Squirtle nods.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | You got that right, Cody. Never leave a friend hanging. | (Squirtle said.)

[Pokémon Center, Viridian City]
Heather: You know it still get harder to believe that there are actual girls who plays the games and are competing this season. But what really ticks me is that even with the money we win from the battles we take on; we can't use it for anything but for our Pokémon and essentials. (Heather said annoyed. Also, she forgot to mention that some of the Japanese girls were more gorgeous than her.)
Tatsumi: Say what you will, Heather. Nothing can't be denied that we girls have grown to love Pokémon with all our hearts. (Tatsumi admits with full of love and honesty. Then she frowns a bit.)
Tatsumi: And speaking of competitors where is Alejandro? (Tatsumi asked. Heather pretended to not care but couldn't hide her concern look and some pink tints, hoping that Alejandro is fine.)
Noah: If memory serves me right, I believe he went to Route 22 for some training regimen. (Noah answered.)
Ben: Oh, that's right. And I saw Daisuke going with him but trained his Pokémon at a different part of the route. (Sosuke added. They went just eating breakfast or having discussion until… RINGGG! RINGGG! RINGGG! The PTCs were ringing as every member of Team Kanto got them out and answered them, revealing Chris' big grin face on the screen.)
Chris McLean (Transmission): Hi there, Pokémon Trainers and welcome to the second day of Total Drama POKÉMON ADVENTURE! (Chris said while addressing the title dramatically.)
Kayoko: Are you gonna do that all the time? (Kayoko asked.)
Chris McLean: Yes! Yes, am I. (Chris answered.)
Kayoko: Alright, then. (Kayoko said with eye closed and arms crossed.)
Chris McLean: Everyone meet me at the gate entrance to the Viridian Forest on Route 2 where your first challenge will begin and the formation of the sub-teams. So, finish up your breaky and head on to the gate. McLean out! (Chris said, before ending transmission.)
[Kanto Route 22]
(At the silent calm Route 22, Alejandro got the message as well with Daisuke whom had defeated a moderate amount of wild Pokémon and got new Pokémon for their parties. Charmander puffs and huff after all of the battling as Alejandro apply a Potion on him, restoring his HP. Alejandro smiled at his recovered Pokémon as he turns to the direction of Route 2.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Well, it's about time we get started. Charmander, return. (Alejandro said as he returns his Charmander in his Poké Ball. Daisuke, with his attire being a blue shirt with a horizontal white stripe at the bottom and his Umizawa clan crest on the chest, a dark blue Demin jacket, black pants, and stylish boots with metallic footings, got up from the ground he sat. In his face was a serious expression as he left the route for Route 2.)
[Opening 2 – The Beginning]
[Kanto Route 2]
(Every member of Team Kanto arrived at the gate leading toward the Viridian Forest, where the host of this season Chris McLean and his trusted sidekick/friend Chef Hatchet were waiting them as they were there.)
Chris McLean: Welcome, trainers. Did you have a good breakie? (Chris said teasingly.)
Heather: At least it was better what Chef usually serves. (Heather commented, thus enraging Chef.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Although I did eat something, I couldn't have gotten breakfast because of your transmission. (An irritated Alejandro commented.)
Chris McLean: Well, that's too bad bro. Anyway, welcome to the first challenge of the Legend of Kanto Saga, the Walkathon of Viridian Forest. (Chris declared. Everyone roses a brow at what Chris meant when he said that.)
Chris McLean: Now, before we get this started, we need to arrange the teams. (Chris added.)
Ben: Ah, Chris? Didn't you already arrange the teams based on what Starter Pokémon we choose? (Ben said as he brought out the Poke Ball containing his Bulbasaur.)
Chris McLean: That is correct, Ben. I did arrange the teams for each of the five regions, but you seem to miss out was that in each of them there will be sub-teams, hence the whole "competing against each other." (Chris explained. Thinking about it smoothly, they could see some sense into that.)
Ben: I suppose that's fair. (Ben admitted.)
Chris McLean: Now for the first sub-team are… Cody! Akina! Ben! Tatsumi! Natsuko! And Ezekiel! From this day forward you are the Braving Charizard! (Chris said as he gave them an orange flag that they unfolded to reveal a Charizard on it as an icon of the same symbol appeared on the screen. The members of the sub-team weren't arguing as they felt comfortable with each other.)
Chris McLean: As for the rest of you, Noah! Heather! Anne Maria! Kayoko! Alejandro! And Daisuke! From this day forward, you are the Raging Gyarados! (Chris declared as the new sub-team held a blue flag with a Gyarados on it.)
Heather: Wait a minute. We get to be a stinking fish while that loser sub-team gets to be a freaking dragon. (Heather complained in disbelief.)
Noah: Technically, Gyarados are more sea serpent than fish. (Noah stated, correcting Heather. Chris coughs to get the sub-teams' attention.)
Chris McLean: Okay, guys. Now to explain the rules to this challenge. (Chris said, catching the others' attention.)
Chris McLean: For new beginners, Viridian Forest is the only pathway for you to take in order to get to the first gym of your destination in Pewter City. Your challenge is pretty simple… all you have to do is cross through the Pokémon filled forest of Viridian, battle through any obstacles getting in your way out and into Pewter City. First sub-team to get their entire teammates to the entrance of the Pewter Gym wins. (Chris finished. Everyone was determined to win this challenge while Daisuke, with his hands on the back of his head.)
Daisuke: Say Chris. What's the catch? (Daisuke asked casually.)
Chris McLean: So glad you asked Daisuke. As most of you know this, Viridian Forest is one of the most natural and calm forests mainly inhabited by Bug-Type Pokémon so you shouldn't worry much if you have a Fire, Flying or Rock-Type. (Some Trainers were gulping as some of them had lack any Pokémon of those Types or only have a single Pokémon in their party.)
Chris McLean: Also, the Viridian Forest is famous for having the tallest trees with leaves big enough to cover the skies of the forest, so you'll barely be able to see there any of the darkest parts of the forest without these. (Chris said, holding a gray disc. As the Pokémon fan/Trainers were gasping in astonishment, some of them were raising brows in confusion.)
Anne Maria: Ah? What's with the CD? (A confused Anne Maria asked.)
Chris McLean: This here, Anne Maria, is a HM or Hidden Machine. While there are TMs, or Technical Machines, used to teach Pokémon moves that they can't learn from leveling, breeding or other methods, HMs are moves for both battle and field usages. For example, this is the HM05 AKA Flash. Pokémon capable of learning this HM will not only be able to lower the accuracy of its opponent by one half but the outside usage is to illuminate dark environments such as caves, tunnels, and any dark places such as the Viridian Forest. (Chris explains. Every Trainer in the Charizard and Gyarados were cheering out loud at this until…)
Chris McLean: But it is only available after you beat the Gym Leader of Pewter City. (Chris said with a bit of a chuckle. The Trainers all grunts in disappointment at this.)

(Confessional shows Ben with his Bulbasaur, resting on his lap.)
Ben: Hey, whether it is a video game or real life in the Pokémon world, rules are rules. Especially if it wasn't Chris' idea. Am I right, Bulbasaur? (Ben said while asking his new friend in his Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur nodded.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | I agree, my heroic friend. Rules are there for a reason. | (Bulbasaur said. Ben smiled.)
Ben: I couldn't for a better starter than you, my Grass/Poison-Type friend. (Ben complements.)

[Kanto Route 2]
Kayoko: For some reason, you're still holding out on some information? You're hiding something aren't you? (Kayoko accused Chris, who was looking really annoyed, but no one disagreed with Kayoko.)
Chris McLean: Well, there is one important thing you need to be aware of, but I'll save that for last. This next rule is also very traditional and abided, if a trainer besides the rest of you, which is optional, spots you as you make your way in your journey, the rules state that you must accept their declaring challenge for a Pokémon battle. Once they declare a battle with you, you must accept it and can only leave after you beat the opponent's Pokémon. Consider those matches as sub-challenges, it will not only boost up points in your main challenges but will boost your Pokémon's current level. (Chris said. Somehow everyone nodded with that rule as they needed to level up their Pokémon with more EXP. Then everyone got into racing stances.)
Chris McLean: Oh, before we start, one more warning. Watch out for wild Beedrill. From what Mr. Sakuma told me, this is the time of season for Bug-Type Pokémon to start evolving into their final forms. The Beedrill, which are the evolve form of Kakuna and the final evolve form of Weedle, are pretty ticking violent on those who trespass on their territory. Had a few interns scout out in the forest and ran back while we're still searching for a few taken by them. (Chris said while chuckling sinisterly. Everyone was widening their eyes in fear and shock of what awaits them in Viridian Forest.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(Noah was sitting in his confessional while his Bulbasaur was sadden by something.)
Noah: In the video games, there are never any wild Beedrill on the tall grasses, but since this is another world, I wouldn't be surprised if I encounter one before me. (Noah said calmly.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | Ah, I feel bad that I won't be much help. | (Bulbasaur said sadly. Noah turns to his Bulbasaur.)
Noah: Don't look down Bulbasaur. It's not your fault. We just gotta hope that we only encounter those pesky Bug Catchers, beat those Caterpies or Metapods and we're golden. (Noah said smiling at his starter. Bulbasaur frown turns into a smile.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | Thanks, Noah! I feel much better now that we have a plan. | (Bulbasaur said.)

[Kanto Route 2]
Chris McLean: Now then, without any interruptions. Ready… set… Catch them all! (Chris said with his arms raise to the sky. Everyone was confused by that until Chris corrects it.)
Chris McLean: That means go. (Chris answers. Now understanding all of the sub-teams went into the gate as the challenge begins.)
[Viridian Forest, Route 2]
(After entering the forest, it seems that Chris was telling the truth as the forest was so dark that they could barely see the bushes and their surroundings as the sub-teams went their separate ways. The Braving Charizard took the right path as it was mainly consisted of Pokémon experts. Ezekiel and Tatsumi brought out their Charmanders as torches to light their way.)
Cody Anderson: Thanks for letting out your Charmander to navigate our way to the other side, Zeke. Same goes for you as well, Tatsumi. (Cody complaints. Ezekiel smiles grateful for the praise while the smirking Tatsumi nodded.)
Ezekiel: Ah, thanks Cody. That means a lot, eh. (Ezekiel said.)
Tatsumi: I do enjoy being in a team where you can trust your teammates with ease knowing that they have no malice intentions of backstabbing the other. (Tatsumi said. Everyone and even their Pokémon were laughing happily at being in each other's company while walking to their destination.)
Ben: Still, you can't help but wonder what the Gyarados are up to since they have Alejandro, Heather and Anne Maria. (Ben said. Cody and Akina looked at their teammate with curious looks.)
Cody Anderson: Okay, Alejandro and Heather I get why you would be worried about, but Anne Maria? (Cody said in confusion. Akina thought about it but came to a realization.)
Akina: Actually, now that I think about it. She is considered a threat due to being in a love triangle with Mike and Zoey because of her crush with Vito, one of Mike's alternative personalities. (Akina said in realization. Cody smiled at the smart redhead girl.)
Natsuko: But didn't he vanish with the rest of the other personalities in the season finale of Total Drama All-Stars? (Natsuko asked. Everyone who watched Total Drama All-Stars, except for Cody and Ezekiel, who was feral at the time, nodded in agreement.)
Ben: Good thing we don't have to worry about that evil personality Mal running amok in Hoenn. (Ben commented, much to everyone's relief. Just as the Charizard were moving toward the long way without tall grass they spotted a Bug Catcher as he spotted them on sight.)
Bug Catcher: Stop right there! You guys must be new trainers. (The male Bug Catcher said.)
Cody Anderson: Well, yeah. (Cody said, knowing what's coming next. The Bug Catcher brought out a Poké Ball.)
Bug Catcher: Then, I challenge you to a Pokémon battle! Will you accept? (Bug Catcher asked. That's when the Pokémon fighting spirit in Cody got him fired up and into stance as he smirked with a Poké Ball in his hand.)
Cody Anderson: Dude, you are so on! Go, Squirtle! (Cody said as he threw the Poké Ball that sent out Squirtle in pure white energy as Squirtle got into fighting stance.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | I'm ready when you are, Cody! | (Squirtle said confidently. The Bug Catcher smiled.)
Bug Catcher: Alright, Caterpie! Let's go and net us a win! (The Bug Catcher said as he threw his Poké Ball, sending out a little green worm-like Pokémon with a yellow tail, yellow opened circles on its sides, arms and chest with a red antenna.)
Bug Catcher's Caterpie: | I'm ready to fight! | (The Bug Catcher's Caterpie declared. While Squirtle awkwardly looked dumbfound that he's gonna fight a worm, Cody brought out his red Kanto Pokédex and analyze the Caterpie.)
Cody Anderson's Pokédex: "Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon. It's short feet are tipped with suction pads that enables it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls." (The Pokédex said in a robotic voice. Cody smiled at that piece of information while the other Trainers were intrigued by this turn of event.)
[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(Tatsumi was in a thinking position with closed eyes as she was sitting on her confessional with her Charmander by her lap.)
Tatsumi: I suppose like the anime, once the Pokédex scans a Pokémon we've just encountered, wild or caught, it analyzes and informs its holder the knowledge it knows of the Pokémon before us. Such an interesting feat wouldn't you agree Charmander? (Tatsumi asked her Charmander.)
Tatsumi's Charmander: | Ah, sure. I guess. | (Charmander said plainly but honestly.)

[Viridian Forest, Route 2]
Bug Catcher: If the quick Caterpie lesson is finished, then it's time to battle! (The Bug Catcher said impatiently. While the others were scoffing at the Bug Catcher's impatience, Cody made a fist while smirking excitedly.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah, let's get this fight started! (Cody declared.)
Cody Anderson: We'll start! Squirtle, use Tackle! (Cody commanded. Listening to his trainer, Squirtle manages to hit Caterpie with Tackle, inflicting damage to it.)
Bug Catcher's Caterpie: | OUCH! | (Caterpie yelled painfully.)
Bug Catcher: Caterpie! Quickly, use String Shot! (The Bug Catcher ordered. Caterpie fired a shot of silky strings from his mouth.)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it, quick! (Cody commanded. Squirtle managed to dodge the String Shot in time as it landed on where he was standing on.)
Cody Anderson: Now used Tail Whip! (Cody ordered. Squirtle turn around and starts wiggling his tail in a taunting gesture, much to Caterpie's dismay as a tick mark appeared.)
Bug Catcher: A wise guy, huh? Caterpie use Tackle! (Bug Catcher ordered. Tackle charges in on Squirtle until…)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it, Squirtle and use Tail Whip! (Cody ordered. Squirtle dodges the tackle and lands at a safe spot and use Tail Whip once more, lowering Caterpie's defense.)
Bug Catcher: Caterpie keep using Tackle constantly! (The Bug Catcher commanded.)
Cody Anderson: Squirtle keep dodging and use Tail Whip! (Cody ordered. Caterpie keep using Tackle while Squirtle kept dodging and using Tail Whip while dodging each blow. While everyone in the Braving Charizards were impressed with this tactic, only Ezekiel looked confused by this.)
Ezekiel: Ah…? What's going on, eh? I mean all Cody is doing is dodging and ordering his Squirtle to wag his tail while the Caterpie is attacking? Isn't this a stalling match? (Ezekiel asked, still being new to Pokémon battles.)
Ben: Nope! This is indeed a patient battle. You see, Ezekiel, while Tail Whip may be a non-damaging Status move, but the more Cody's Squirtle is constantly using it while dodging the Tackles with ease, the more the Caterpie's defense lowers dramatically. In other words, Cody is bidding his time for the right moment to send his attacks. (Ben finished. Just as the Caterpie was gonna Tackle Squirtle.)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it, quick! (Cody commanded. Squirtle dodges Caterpie's Tackle. Cody smirked.)
Cody Anderson: Alright, use Tackle! (Cody commanded. Squirtle smirked as well as he lands a Tackle on the yelling Caterpie due to its' decreased defense.)
Bug Catcher: Oh, no Caterpie quick-
Cody Anderson: Now, Squirtle. Finish this with Water Gun! (Cody ordered.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Now then. TAKE THIS! | (Squirtle said as he fired a Water Gun, a jet stream of water at the shocked Caterpie completely as he was sent flying to his trainer who looked astonished by this.)
Bug Catcher: CATERPIE! (Bug Catcher yelled in concern. After the Water Gun stopped, Caterpie lay on the ground with swirls on his eyes, indicating that it has fainted.)
Bug Catcher's Caterpie: | Ow… | (Caterpie mustered weakly. Ben, acting as a referee, came up.)
Ben: Caterpie is unable to battle! Squirtle is the winner. (Ben announces.)
Cody Anderson: Alright! We won the first round, Squirtle! (Cody said in semi-celebration with Squirtle.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | I'm proud of you as well Cody. | (Squirtle said in joy. The Bug Catcher returned his defeated Caterpie into his Poke Ball.)
Bug Catcher: Don't be ashamed Caterpie. You did your best and that's all I could've asked for. (Bug Catcher said to his Poke Ball containing his Caterpie. After he put it away, he brought out another Poke Ball and sent out another Caterpie.)
Braving Charizards: WHAT!? ANOTHER CATERPIE! (They said simultaneously.)

(Akina, in her first time in the confessional, was sitting on her seat while her Squirtle by her side. Akina sighed.)
Akina: This may take a while before Cody finishes this battle. I just remember that in the games that some Bug Catchers in Kanto usually have a team of the same Bug-Type Pokémon since they're usually in Viridian Forest. (Akina said.)
Akina's Squirtle: | Yeah, I truly hope Squirtle is gonna be okay battling those Caterpie on his own. | (Akina's Squirtle said in worry. Somehow, Akina understood what her Squirtle said as she nodded with a concern look.)
Akina: Me too, Squirtle. Me too. I am also worry for Cody. I just hope he doesn't get overconfident or arrogant, God and Arceus willing. (Akina said.)

[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
(At another part of Viridian Forest, Heather's Squirtle Tackles a Weedle as it screamed in pain. The Bug Catcher's Weedle felt to the ground fainted.)
Bug Catcher #2: Oh, no Weedle! (The female Bug Catcher said in shock. Heather laughs victorious. Squirtle shook her head in amusement but glad to have won.)
Heather: Looks like I won! Better pay up! (Heather said gloating. The Bug Catcher finds Heather to be annoying, but rules were rules as she paid Heather 72 Pokémon dollars. Heather picks up Squirtle who may look a bit curious of the gesture.)
Heather: Well, I'm not used to saying this, but… thanks for winning this with Weedle, Squirtle. I appreciate it. (Heather said calmly.)
Heather's Squirtle: | You may still have that mean girl attitude but thank you for the compliment. | (Squirtle said.)
Heather: Alright then, return. (Heather said holding her Poké Ball as she sent Squirtle back inside it. While the Bug Catcher didn't like the mean girl that was Heather, nevertheless she likes how good she treats her Pokémon. Heather notice the smile on the female Bug Catcher.)
Heather: What? What's with that look on your face? (Heather asked confused.)
Bug Catcher #2: Nothing. Anyways, you're looking for a way out of the forest and into Pewter City, right? (The Bug Catcher asked.)
Heather: Well, yeah. What's it to you? (Heather said rudely. While Heather may not mistreat her Pokémon and even starts to like them as partners and almost considering them as friends, she still had that bossy mean girl personality in her. The Bug Catcher simply rolled her eyes.)
Bug Catcher: Just go to the right path that direction, then head west. At some point you're gonna head left, and finally head straight forward. (Bug Catcher finished. Heather smirked in victory upon receiving directions. Suddenly, bushes were moving near them as she turns to see.)
Heather: What? What's going on? Who's there? (Heather asked. The bushes kept on shaking as Heather brought forth a Poké Ball with one of her Pokémon in it.)
Heather: You better come out and face me! I'm warning you… (Heather's threat would've happening upon coming out of the tall grass was a beaten wild Weedle covered in bruises and soot from Fire-type moves. Heather rose a brow until she saw it was none other than Kayoko and her Charmander who was the one that defeated the wild Weedle.)
Kayoko: Hello there, Heather. (Kayoko greeted confidently. Heather sighed in relief but put back her annoyed façade.)
Heather: Ah, you're one of those newbies and Lindsay's half-sister, Kayoko, is it? (Heather said. While Kayoko was grateful Heather learned her name, she was tweaking her right eye in anger, silent anger. Kayoko let a smile appear on her face, but Heather knew it was a fake.)
Kayoko: Oh, man. You sure know how to remember a new name without even trying. Anyway, I came here to train a bit more and hope to regroup with you before we regroup with our teammates. (Kayoko said. Heather rose a brow.)
Heather: Oh, really. Then tell me what it is that you want from me? (Heather asked as she turn her head with her eyes closed.)
Kayoko: Oh, nothing. Nothing much except… for a little thing called an alliance. (Kayoko answers. Heather widen her eyes in surprise that one of the newcomers came to her to form an alliance.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(Heather, using the confessional, was sitting on the seat of her confessional while her Pidgey was sitting on top of her head, Weedle by her right side and Squirtle on her left.)
Heather: Okay, this is a surprise for me. After I revealed my true colors in Total Drama Island, no one would ever dare to make an alliance with me. Granted I used Beth and Lindsay on season one, and afterwards, nobody would want to team up with me to go into the merge. While I am still searching for an alliance on this season, something tells me that she's holding back her true personality. Right, guys. (Heather said.)
Heather's Squirtle: | Got that right, Heather. | (Squirtle said.)
Heather's Weedle: | Yeah, Heather. I can smell it. | (Weedle added.)
Heather's Pidgey: | There's normally a catch to making alliances | (Pidgey exclaimed. Heather looked up to her Pidgey sitting on top of her head, just like how a baby condor, Cody Jr. was doing the same thing on Total Drama World Tour when he thought Heather was his mom.)
Heather: Normally I would be annoyed whenever a bird is sitting on top of me. But since he's been leveling up a lot in each battle we've been taking on, I'll let it slide. (Heather said plainly.)
[Futuristic Click]
(Kayoko, using her first time on the confessional, had her arms crossed as she was talking.)
Kayoko: Of course, I know about Heather's history in Total Drama, but I will not repeat the mistakes of my idiotic half-sister Lindsay did. I will not be the pawn for a weak queen like Heather. While I may be sneaking about, I still believe in fair sportsmanship, and I shall crush the weaklings that call themselves Pokémon Trainers. (Kayoko said coldly. Charmander looked a bit concern for her trainer. She then faced the camera.)
Kayoko's Charmander: | I worry about Kayoko. Something tells me that she is hiding something behind her motives. | (Charmander said.)
[Futuristic Click]
[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
Heather: Hmph! Even if you're right that I am in need of an alliance, why should I be in one with you? (Heather replied.)
Kayoko: You mean besides there being a voting should we lose, there are some threats in our sub-team such as Noah, Daisuke and your boyfriend Alejandro. (Kayoko informed. Heather blushes while glaring angrily at Kayoko for the boyfriend comment.)
Kayoko: Currently, the weakest trainer among us is Anne Maria, who spends most of her time on her looks rather than focus on training. And based on your history with Noah and Alejandro as competitors and how Daisuke had seen you in your Total Drama seasons, I surely doubt they would trust you immediately. (Kayoko said all that. Heather wouldn't admit it, but she knew that Kayoko was right. Kayoko rose a hand, wanting to shake Heather's.)
Kayoko: If you agree on my alliance, then not only will I teach you the ways of Pokémon battles, but I will also help make your Pokémon stronger. I want to create a society where the mighty with talent and skill rises over that of stupidity and blind loyalty. Do we have a deal? (Kayoko said. After being surprised mildly to learn more about Lindsay's half sister and her intelligent and determined ambition, Heather looked at it for a moment until both girls finally shook hands, while both of them were secretly crossing their fingers, indicating that they will backstab each other later on.)

Heather: Okay. I may have crossed my fingers, but because I actually feel a true rival in Kayoko. Compare to Lindsay, she's actually both pretty, skilled and smart. That's a deadly combination. But… mainly, I think this will be the start of a new competing and beautiful friendship. (Heather said with a smirk.)

[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
(Back to Cody's battle, after defeating the second Caterpie, Squirtle managed to tackle the third Caterpie and took a bit of damages but increased its defense with Withdraw.)
Cody Anderson: Squirtle, use Tackle once more! (Cody ordered.)
Bug Catcher: Use Tackle as well! (Bug Catcher ordered as well. Squirtle and Caterpie charged and Tackles each other directly. Squirtle's HP was in yellow while Caterpie's HP was in the red.)
Bug Catcher: Use String Shot! (Bug Catcher ordered. Caterpie fired a String Shot but Cody smiled proudly.)
Cody Anderson: Now grab a hold of that String Shot, Squirtle. (Cody ordered. Everyone was shock by this as Squirtle got a hold of the String Shot by a hand and gripped on it.)
Cody Anderson: Now spin Caterpie around clockwise! (Cody commanded. Squirtle nods as he spins and spins Caterpie around in the air repeatedly. Caterpie screams in panic.)
Cody Anderson: Now crash Caterpie down to the ground and finish this with Water Gun! (Cody ordered. Squirtle pushed the string down to the ground and in turn, Caterpie came crashing down the ground rough.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Let's finish this battle! | (Squirtle said. Then he fired a Water Gun at Caterpie directly. Caterpie yelled. After the Water Gun ended, the Caterpie fainted.)
Bug Catcher's Caterpie: (Ah…) (Caterpie said weakly.)
Bug Catcher: What, I lose? (The Bug Catcher said in disbelief. Ben came up and announced.)
Ben: Caterpie is unable to battle. Squirtle is the winner, and the victory goes to Cody Anderson. (Cody cheers in victory of his first Pokémon battle with another trainer.)
Cody Anderson: Yes! We won! We won, Squirtle! Isn't that amazing! (Cody said with him hugging his Squirtle.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Yeah, Cody! We won with all our skills and training. | (Squirtle said happily. The Bug Catcher returned his Caterpie back into his Poke Ball, but he couldn't help but be happy to see the bond between Cody and his Squirtle.)
Bug Catcher: Well, you beat me fair and square. Good job, Cody. Here's your prize. (Bug Catcher said as he handed him a sum of 95 Pokémon dollars. While Cody and Squirtle were happy to receive some money, he was happier on the victory he and Squirtle earned. Just as the Charizards were getting ready to leave to complete the challenge, Cody waves farewell to the Bug Catcher.)
Cody Anderson: Bye! Thanks for the battle! I hope we'll meet again and have a rematch! (A happy Cody said.)
Bug Catcher: You bet ya! And next time, I won't be holding back! (The smiling Bug Catcher said. As the Charizards managed to get to northern right path of the forest they saw some tall grasses moving.)
Ezekiel: What's going on? Is it a wild Pokémon, eh? (Ezekiel asked. Suddenly another pair of tall grasses were shaking as well, and close by Tatsumi and Ben.)
Ben: Looks like there's more in there. (Ben said.)
Tatsumi: Do you need some assistance? (Tatsumi asked. Ben turns to Tatsumi but smiled calmly and kindly much to the gasping Tatsumi's surprise.)
Ben: Don't worry, I got this. (Ben said. Coming out of the tall grasses were a pair of wild Caterpie and Weedle.)
Wild Caterpie: | Not so fast, humans! | (The male wild Caterpie said.)
Wild Weedle: | We won't allow you trespassers walk away without a fight. | (The female wild Weedle said. Then to their surprise, they saw a humming Ben with a happy good smile on his face.)
Ben: You two are such interesting pair of Pokémon. Very well. (Ben said. Then he enlarges a Poké Ball and threw it out.)
Ben: Bulbasaur, it's hero time! (Ben said, bringing out his Bulbasaur.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | You got it, Ben! | (Bulbasaur said. As Ben and Bulbasaur were getting ready to battle, Ezekiel looked in awes of the wild Pokémon before him.)
Ezekiel: Whoa. I already know about Caterpie, but what about that Weedle, eh? (Ezekiel asked. Remembering what Cody did when they encountered that Bug Catcher's Pokémon, Ezekiel brought out his Pokédex and scan the Hairy Bug Pokémon.)
Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Weedle, the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Often found in forests, eating leaves, it has a sharp venomous stinger on its head!" (The Pokédex stated. Ezekiel was astonished to learn about this. Then as Cody lean in and moved aside the tall grasses as it revealed a pair of two yellow mouse-like Pokémon with red circle cheeks, black linings on their ears and a thunderbolt shape tail with the female having hers in the edge being heart curved. The male one was looking enraged at the group of humans while the female one looked frighten as she was being protected by the male one who growls at the happy smiling Braving Charizard.)
Cody Anderson: I don't believe it! PIKACHU! (Cody said hysterically. The girls of the Charizard were smiling with heart shape eyes and blushes on them. Happier to find one of the most favorite Pokémon in their world, Akina was the first of the newcomers to bring out her Pokédex as it spoke in a female robotic voice.)
Akina's Pokédex: "Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon. When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms." (Female Pokédex stated. Akina daydreamed at the thought of a group of Pikachus creating a lightning storm. As Cody was leaning in closer to the Pikachu duo, Natsuko looked concern.)
Natsuko: Ah, Cody. Are you sure it okay to get too close to that wild Pikachu? It looks pretty angry that we're intruding in their territory. (Natsuko warned calmly.)
Cody Anderson: Nah, don't worry, Natsuko. I'm sure once this Pikachu realized we're not its enemies I'm sure he'll- (Before Cody could finish his sentence, the male Pikachu use Thunder Shock and electrocutes a yelling Cody who screams in pain and in an awkward comical style. At a part of the forest, Anne Maria, who was spraying some hair conditioner on herself, hears the screaming, but then ignore it as she resume to spraying herself with hair spray while Daisuke, with his Squirtle that defeated a wild Weedle, looked confused of where that noise came from. At the lower west parts of the forest, Noah and his Bulbasaur, after beating a wild Metapod, heard Cody's screaming and the Thunder Shock.)
Noah: What the- What was that? (Noah asked.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | I'm not sure, Noah. But what are we gonna do for the rest of the journey? | (Bulbasaur said to his trainer. Strangely enough, Noah is slowly understanding what his Pokémon is saying.)
Noah: I'm not sure. I was thinking about maybe forming an alliance, but with who? I barely know Anne Maria, Kayoko and Daisuke. There's Heather, but I completely hate her with every fiber of my being. And last but not least is my biggest threat… Alejandro. (Noah said that with anger in his tone. Bulbasaur rose a brow in confusion.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | Well, what's wrong with this Alejandro? | (Bulbasaur asked.)
Noah: Trust me, Bulbasaur. The guy is no good. He's a backstabbing, athletic, manipulative deceiver. He's like a male Heather as he is Spanish. Plus, he's-
Alejandro Burromuerto: Like an eel dipped in grease! (An enraged voice said out of nowhere. That's when Noah and Bulbasaur widen their eyes in shock as Noah turns to see a glaring Alejandro.)
Noah: Oh! Hey there, Alejandro. (A nervous Noah said, trying to forge ignorance.)
Noah: I didn't know you were there and when I was talking to Bulbasaur about this eel Pokémon. (Noah said desperately. However, Alejandro merely rolled his enraged eyes, not completely buying it.)
Noah: You're not buying it. Are you? (Noah said obvious as Alejandro shook his head. Despite his initial fear of facing Alejandro, Noah got into fighting pose with his Bulbasaur readying to battle.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | Get any closer to Noah and you're gonna get a helping of Vine Whip! | (Bulbasaur growled. Alejandro smiled.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: I must say, you may lack the physical strength for yourself, but your Bulbasaur seems to be a lot tougher than that battle with the profesor's nieto. How many Pokémon do you have? (Alejandro asked. Strangely for Noah, this was new to him; he and Alejandro hate each other since their time in Total Drama World Tour, but he's giving him praise and acknowledgement. However, he wasn't gullible enough to fall for any traps.)
Noah: Just Bulbasaur. (Noah admitted begrudgingly. Alejandro brought forth a Poké Ball as he threw it.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Come forth and battle, Charmander! (Alejandro commanded. Coming out was Alejandro's Charmander looking stronger than ever as he got into fighting stance.)
Alejandro Burromuerto's Charmander: | Si, Alejandro. I am ready when you are. | (Charmander declared. Both enemies/rivals stare down for a while until Noah made the first choice.)
Noah: Bulbasaur, use Tackle! (Noah commanded. Bulbasaur charges in, aiming to Tackle Charmander…)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Rápido, Charmander. Dodge it and use Ember! (Alejandro commanded. Charmander looked fierce as he dodges Bulbasaur's Tackle and fire a small fire of Ember at him directly. Bulbasaur screamed painfully.)
Noah: Bulbasaur! (Noah yelled worriedly. Despite taking a super effective hit, Bulbasaur got back on his feet, ready for Noah, who got over it.)
Noah: Now then, use Leech Seed! (Noah commanded. Bulbasaur launched a brown seed from its bulb as it was sent flying toward Charmander.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Intercept it with Ember! (Alejandro commanded. Charmander fired an Ember at the Leech Seed as it was burn into a crisp.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Now charge at that Bulbasaur with Scratch! (Alejandro commanded. Charmander ran as he got closer to Bulbasaur…)
Noah: Dodge it and use Vine Whip! (Noah countered. This brought shock to Alejandro and his Charmander.)
Alejandro Burromuerto & Charmander: ¿Qué? / | ¿Qué? | (Both said in unison. Bulbasaur's timing was perfect as it almost got hit with Scratch and then brought out his pair of Vine Whip and hits the grunting Charmander directly.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: OH, no! Charmander, are you alright, amigo? (A concern Alejandro asked, much to Noah's shock. Grunting, Charmander got up and nods to his trainer.)
Alejandro Burromuerto's Charmander: | Si, mi amigo! I won't shame the both of us by being defeated by that Grass-Type. | (Charmander exclaimed with a growl. Both Alejandro and Noah glare hard at each other as their battle continues. Back to the Braving Charizards, After Pikachu stops his Thunder Shock, a shocked Cody was huffing out some smoke from the attack as he fell down on his back. Akina, with a worried awkward expression, went to Cody's side.)
Akina & Squirtle: CODY! / | CODY! | (Both Cody's Squirtle and Akina said in unison.)
Akina: Cody! Are you okay!? (Akina asked worriedly. After Cody coughs out a few smokes, he regained consciousness.)
Cody Anderson: That… was… the most POWERFUL THUNDER SHOCK I EVER FELT! (Cody screamed in excitement much to everyone's confusion, including the two wild Pikachu's surprise.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | Wait, he isn't mad? Even after I use Thunder Shock on him. | (The male Pikachu asked. In the past, Pikachu would always defend him and his female friend from trainers who wanted to catch them or defeat them as they didn't want to be caught by greedy or mean trainers, but this boy was different. As Cody was slowly getting up, Akina came to help by supporting him along the way.)
Cody Anderson: Wow, thanks for the help, Akina. You're so nice and caring to help me out, even after I got electrocuted. It means a lot to me. (Cody said to the smiling Akina. Unknown to him, Akina stared at his happy, kind smile as she dreamily saw how attractive and nice Cody looked as he is in his heart. Akina looked in cute awes of her crush.)

(Akina, with a blush on her face, was looking nervous at the confessional camera as her Caterpie was by her side.)
Akina: Ah, Cody. What a nice and good-looking man. (Akina said dreamily.)
Akina's Caterpie: | Uh, Akina? | (Caterpie said as he points to a camera recording her, which to her shock.)
Akina: Ahhh…? It's not what you think… you see… I… uh…? Okay, I admit it! I love him! I first developed a crush on him since Total Drama Island, but it's not like crazy-crazy. I can give him the privacy he wants to have every now and then. I love who he is on the inside, a calm, cool and friendly person who can get along with others, including with Pokémon. I wanna tell how I feel about him and that I'm not crazy like that stalker loon Sierra. (Akina said the last part with an annoyed tone. Then looking at the camera, Akina widen out her eyes in white and then looked ashamed and slowly waves at it.)
Akina: Who will likely see this episode later on. Oh, get it together, Akina Sakata. (Akina said to herself. Then her Caterpie froze until he starts glowing in white and blue, which to Akina's surprise.)
Akina Sakata: Caterpie! What's going on? (Akina asked in concern until she realize it.)
Akina Sakata: Could it be…?

[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
(Akina returned to the other as they and the wild Pikachus turn to see Akina's Caterpie glowing.)
Cody Anderson: Whoa! Akina, your Caterpie is starting its first evolution! (An excited Cody exclaimed. To Ben's current battle with the wild Caterpie and wild Weedle, they too started to glow, beginning to evolve as well. As the Caterpie changes their shape into a curved form, the light died out to reveal their new form as it was in a light green cocoon with two lax eyes. Same thing happened to the wild Weedle as her body was covered in cone shape with her head in a round curve, being completely gold in a cocoon with black eyes.)
Akina Sakata's Metapod: | Hi there, everyone. | (Akina's Metapod said in a lax tone. Akina smiled at her first evolved Pokémon.)
Wild Metapod: | Whoa. | (Wild Metapod said in a slow tone.)
Wild Kakuna: | Wow, I looked strong, don't you think? | (Wild Kakuna asked in surprise. Happy upon this development, Tatsumi brought out her Pokédex and analyze Metapod while Ben did the same thing but analyze Kakuna instead.)
Tatsumi's Pokédex: "Metapod, the Cocoon Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Caterpie. This Pokémon is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tinder body." (Female voice Pokédex stated.)
Ben's Pokédex: "Kakuna, the Cocoon Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Weedle. Almost incapable of moving, this Pokémon can only Harden its shell to protect itself from predators." (Male voice Pokédex stated.)
Ben: Well, now. This is quite the development you both have achieved. (Ben said with high praise to the wild Bug-Type Pokémon. Despite how hostile they were to Ben and his friends at first, both Cocoon Pokémon were amazed and impressed with Ben's power of analysis, the bond he has with Bulbasaur, his caring and calm nature and the way he has great belief in Pokémon such as them, not just his Bulbasaur.)
Wild Kakuna: | Well, he seems nice and confident in our strength. Hey, Metapod maybe we should think about letting him catch us. | (The wild Kakuna suggested. This brought great shock to the wild Metapod who bulged out his eyes in awkwardly anger.)
Wild Metapod: | ARE YOU KIDDING!? THERE'S NO WAY I'LL ALLOW A HUMAN TO CATCH ME! NOT AGAIN! | (While Metapod was screaming its non-appearing mouth at its wild partner, and Bulbasaur looked mildly annoyed at the bickering the wild Metapod is making.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | What is your friend's problem with not wanting to be catch by my friend Ben. | (Bulbasaur asked the wild Kakuna, much to her confusion since they were still in a battle. Still, they seem to be more understanding than most trainers they encountered.)
Wild Kakuna: | Oh, it's not you nor your trainer's fault. It's Metapod's past experience with trainers who released him back to the wild. | (Kakuna confessed, Bulbasaur looked surprised by this. A flashback starts. Scene shows the wild Metapod as a Caterpie battling trainers' Pokémon such as a Pidgey, Rattata, and even some from different regions as the Pokémon Trainer threw a Poké Ball and caught him. However, the scene shows trainers who were previously his owner, releasing him back to the wild and abandoning him, which greatly sadden his tearing eyes.)
Wild Kakuna (Voice-Over): | For some reasons, the trainers who ever got him didn't care how strong Caterpie was getting since he didn't evolve just because it wasn't the right time, so they released back to the forest. | (Wild Kakuna said. Caterpie slippers away to the forest while he closed his eyes and made a scowl from his ex-trainers' words.)
Male Trainer (Voice-Over): What a pathetic Pokémon. (A voice echoed.)
Female Trainer: What an ugly Pokémon. I can't believe I let you be a part of my team?! (A female voice said.)
Male Trainer #2: You worthless bug! Why can't you simply evolve since you beat that Nidoran? (A Male trainer voice screamed.)
Male Trainer #3: Stupid bug! Why can't you evolve?! (Another voice added. Tears were falling from his eyes as Caterpie couldn't handle the verbal abuse of its former trainers. Caterpie cries out to the sky. Flashback ends. A narrow glancing Metapod was crying a single tear from reliving the past. Ben looked sadden by what Metapod is going through. For some strange reason, even though he played a Pokémon game on a Nintendo console, he could feel the emotions and feelings of whatever Pokémon he had on his team. Bulbasaur had a few fresh tears on his eyes from the story Kakuna told him.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | Wow. That is a sad tale. To think that awful trainers have the right to call themselves Pokémon Trainers? I know Chris said that there were trainers who would discard Pokémon they don't want in this world, but that is nothing but pure cruelty! I'm truly grateful that I have Ben as my trainer. | (Bulbasaur said. This brought a surprise look on Kakuna.)
Wild Kakuna: | Really? | (Kakuna asked. That's when Kakuna hatched up an idea.)
Wild Kakuna: | You know what? I've made my decision. I want to come along as Ben's Pokémon. | (Kakuna declared. This surprised Bulbasaur, but he smiled in joy.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | Really? But what about Metapod though? | (Bulbasaur asked. Then, they along with the others and the wild Pikachu turn to see that a wild Pidgeotto has appeared.)
Wild Kakuna: | Oh, I think we could show Metapod that Ben isn't like those awful trainers when he is protected by him. BUT QUICKLY! Tell your trainer to throw a Poké Ball at me! | (Kakuna yelled fearfully. Bulbasaur nods as he turns to Ben.)
Ben: What's the matter, Bulbasaur? (Ben asked. Bulbasaur brought out a whip and gestured it in a throwing movement, indicating his trainer to throw a Poké Ball. Ben smiled seriously as he got an empty Poké Ball.)
Ben: Right! Go, Poké Ball! (Ben said as he threw the Poké Ball, and it lands a hit on Kakuna as she was sucked inside the Poké Ball. Slowly, the Poké Ball was moving sideways while the button was glowing red. Ben, his friends, and Bulbasaur were looking intensively at the moving ball. It moved Once… Twice… Thrice… Click! The capture was a success. Ben smiles happy with Bulbasaur. Ben grabbed the Poké Ball containing his new Pokémon.)
Ben: What a great time. We finally have Kakuna! (Ben announced while holding his Poké Ball in the air like Ash when he catches a new Pokémon. Bulbasaur jumped in mid-air.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | Hooray! | (Bulbasaur cheered. But that victory was short-lived as Ben turns to see a wild Pidgeotto preying on the wild Metapod who was moving in fright at the probably hungry Pokémon.)
Cody Anderson: Whoa! A wild Pidgeotto? (Cody said as he brought out his Pokédex and scan the Pokémon.)
Cody's Pokédex: "Pidgeotto the Bird Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Pidgey. Very protective of its sprawling territorial area, this Pokémon will fiercely peck at any intruder." (Male voice Pokédex stated. Pidgeotto looked at Metapod, who shrieks in fear as the hungry wild Pokémon laid his eyes on the Bug-Type Pokémon as he flew toward the shivering Cocoon Pokémon until…)
Ben: Get away from him! (Ben yelled. Ben charged in and got Metapod in his arms, much to Metapod's surprise. As Ben dodges and take peck attacks from the wild Pidgeotto.)
Wild Pidgeotto: | Move aside, human. That Pokémon in your arms is my meal! | (The wild Pidgeotto said. Ben tightens his hold on the wild Metapod.)
Ben: Never! You can peck me all you want and look for food elsewhere. I'm not gonna let you harm Metapod, let alone eat him! Compare to some greedy or impatient trainer, I see a lot for potential and gifts this Metapod has. Even if I were to have Bulbasaur beat him in battle, I would respect his wish to be left alone. You hear me! I won't let you eat Metapod! Not on my watch! (Ben screamed fiercely. Metapod looked speechless, but in awes of the selfless and brave human before him.)
Wild Metapod: | He's- different! Different from the other trainers who caught and released me. | (Metapod whispered in admiration of the calm, smirking young man guarding him. The wild Pidgeotto growls trying to get his prey until he spotted another Metapod who rose a shivering brow at him in the hands of his trainer Akina.)
Akina Sakata's Metapod: | Ah...?! Why do you that look on your face? | (Metapod said shivering in fear. The wild Pidgeotto took to the air as he uses Quick Attack. The wild Pidgeotto effortless approach the shocked and screaming Akina and panicking Metapod until… BAM! Cody managed to rush in and block the path to Akina and Metapod by taking the Quick Attack. Cody grunts painfully. Akina and Metapod gasped with the other trainers and the wild Pikachu were looking surprise by this. Cody fell to the ground while covering the wound on his hand.)
Braving Charizard: CODY! (They said simultaneously. The male wild Pikachu and the female Pikachu were surprise by this.)
Wild Female Pikachu: | Whoa. Did you saw that? | (The female Pikachu said. The male Pikachu nodded.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | I sure did. Even though I Thunder Shocked him, he still mustered the strength to defend that human girl and her Metapod from harm. Just like I am with protecting you. I thought this human… Cody as they call him, was just like all those trainers who want to catch and force us into battles for their own gain without even thinking about us, the Pokémon, but it seems I was wrong. He isn't like those trainers, and neither are those with him. | (Pikachu said all of that while Cody kept on protecting Akina and Metapod from the attacking wild Pidgeotto.)
Wild Pidgeotto: | Arrgh! First that hero wannabe human and now this scrawny one is getting in my way!? | (The wild Pidgeotto said irritated. Then he released a Gust at Cody who got hurt as he grunts loudly/painfully. Akina looked shock and tearful.)
Akina Sakata: (No! It's happening again.) (Akina thought. A flashback starts. It shows a boy protecting Akina when she was little from a gang of teenage delinquents who were having salacious intentions with her as she was shivering. The little boy was panting until the bad boys starts to savagely beat him into a pulp. The little Akina had tears in her eyes that the boy who protected her was getting hurt because of her. The flashback ends. Akina was letting stream of tears fall from her eyes as she saw a battered Cody slowly getting up as he pants repeatedly and turn to see the redhead Japanese girl crying.)
Cody Anderson: Do- don't cry… Akina… (Cody said weakly. Akina gasped in surprise with the others. Cody pants weakly.)
Cody Anderson: I've survived through worse. Remember, I'm a quick healer. Plus… I like this Pidgeotto. He's pretty strong and a quick Pokémon. I… know that he's only attacking because it's hungry like any wild Pokémon who is in search for food. After I catch him… I gonna give it something to eat. (Cody said excitedly/weakly. This got everyone, even the wild Pidgeotto surprise.)
Wild Pidgeotto: | What's with this human? Despite how much pain I'm inflicting him, he still respects and praised me? | (Pidgeotto said in confusion. However, with his stomach growling, Pidgeotto shook his head.)
Wild Pidgeotto: | No! I can't get distract. I need to eat! And there's only one way! | (Pidgeotto said. Then he uses Quick Attack as he charged in toward Cody until a Thunder Shock was sent and lands him as he screeches painfully. Cody, Akina and their friends turn to see that it was the male wild Pikachu who fired the Thunder Shock at Pidgeotto as he walked toward Cody and turn to face Pidgeotto. Cody looked confused by this until a realization came.)
Cody Anderson: Wait, you wanna battle alongside me! (Cody asked. Pikachu turns to smirk at him.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | Of course! I think you've shown me everything about you being a caring, protective person, Cody. So, yeah. Let's catch this Pokémon. | (Pikachu said, readying to battle. Cody smirked excitedly.)
Cody Anderson: Alright, then. Pikachu use Quick Attack! (Cody commanded. Lucky for Cody, Pikachu knew that move as he used Quick Attack and lands a hit at the grunting Pidgeotto. After he recoil back, Pidgeotto got back up as he unleashed a Gust at Pikachu until…)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it, quick! (Cody commanded. Pikachu manage to dodge the Gust.)
Cody Anderson: Tackle it! (Cody commanded. Pikachu, also knowing that move, lands a Tackle on Pidgeotto directly. Pidgeotto, struggling to maintain on his feet, growls weakly. Seeing how weaken Pidgeotto is, especially from the Thunder Shock, Cody got an empty Poké Ball and said.)
Cody Anderson: Now then. Go, Poké Ball! (Cody threw the Poke Ball at Pidgeotto. He got sucked into the Poké Ball as it closed upon absorbing the Bird Pokémon. The Poke Ball starts waggling repeatedly as Cody, Pikachu and everyone were anxious of the process going. It moved once… twice… thrice… CLICK! The capture was a success, much to their delight. Cody got the Poké Ball that contains his first captured Pokémon.)
Cody Anderson: Yep! I just caught a Pidgeotto! (Cody said in celebration. Pikachu and Squirtle cheer in celebration as well. Cody smiles brightly at the Poké Ball containing his new Pokémon then turns to the wild Pikachu.)
Cody Anderson: Thank you for your help, Pikachu. I really appreciate it a lot. (Cody said. Pikachu was blushing from the appreciation and praise he's receiving.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | Nah, it was nothing. | (Pikachu said. The female Pikachu giggled a bit with Akina.)
Akina Sakata: Wow. I guess boys will always be boys whenever they got a big success. (Akina stated with closed eyes. The female Pikachu's expression was the same as Akina.)
Wild Female Pikachu: | I know, right. | (Female Pikachu said. While Cody was going through his backpack, given to him by Tsunekazu Ishihara, Ben gently placed Metapod on the ground and dust off some dirt from him.)
Ben: There you go. I know we were interrupted due to that Pidgeotto but I'm just glad no harm came to you. (Ben said with a smile. Metapod couldn't believe it that a human, a Pokémon Trainer actually protected him and even admits that he had great strength and potential despite their short encounter.)
Wild Metapod: | Maybe he could be… | (Just before Metapod could finish his sentence, Ben brought out an empty Poké Ball.)
Ben: What do you say, Metapod? Would you like to join me in this journey? (Ben offered calmly. Once again, Metapod was speechless. As wind blows, never before did a trainer asked him to join his team with such kindness. With no more lingering into his past, Metapod moved a bit as he hit himself with the Poké Ball as it sucked him inside. The Poké Ball moved once… twice… thrice… Click! The capture process was a success. Ben grabbed the Poké Ball containing his new Pokémon.)
Ben: What a successful catch. I got a Metapod. (Ben said calmly.)

Cody: No offends to Ben, but it didn't have the same vibe if you ask me. But that was still pretty cool that he got a third Pokémon. (Cody stated with his head nodding.)

(After getting a bag full of marshmallows from his bag, Cody opened it as he gave some marshmallows to Pikachu.)
Cody Anderson: Here you go. It's the least I could do for what you did for me. (Cody said. Pikachu began to eat the marshmallows as he saw Cody passing the same amount to his friend the female Pikachu as she was eating. While they were eating, Cody was approached by Natsuko.)
Natsuko: I don't mean to intrude on this moment, Cody, but we must get going. We can't lose our lead to the Gyarados. Who knows what they're plotting? (Natsuko said. Next scene shows Heather holding her Kakuna, which evolved as a Weedle with a frustrated look while Kayoko looked awkwardly annoyed and Anne Maria, who regroup with them, were travelling with her.)
Heather: What the… Weedle, what happened to you and why are you so thick? (Heather asked.)
Kayoko: Are you serious? Your Weedle simply evolved into Kakuna. That means you're training him quite well as you are raising him. (An annoyed Kayoko explains.)
Heather: Great. Now I have to train him extra harder and longer because he can barely move. (Heather said with a sarcastic tone. Kayoko rolled her eyes. Back to the Charizard, after Pikachu finished eating his marshmallows, he released a pleasant sigh.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | Ah! That was the best taste of food I ever had in a while. | (Pikachu exclaimed while the female Pikachu nodded with a happy smile. After Natsuko told him of their current challenge, Cody zipped and puts his bag back on.)
Cody Anderson: Well, we better get going. I still pretty doubt that the Gyarados are willing to work together but better play it safe. (Cody said. Just as he turns to move, he felt something holding his pants.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | Wait! | (Pikachu said, holding on Cody's pants on the ground.)
Cody Anderson: What's wrong, Pikachu? (Cody asked. Pikachu looked a bit embarrassed but overcame it as he looked serious.)
Wild Male Pikachu: | I gotta admit it. You were a strange, weirdo when we first met but you're truly amazing on knowing what my moves are and the way you chose not to make Pidgeotto suffer anymore and how you respect your opponents. I made my decision. I'm going with you! | (Pikachu said all of that. Despite not understanding the Pokémon language, Cody smiled knowing what Pikachu said.)
Cody Anderson: You wanna tag along with me, Pikachu? (Cody asked. Pikachu nodded. Cody rubs Pikachu's head.)
Cody Anderson: I don't got a problem with that, but what about your friend? (Cody asked. Then both human and Pokémon turns to see the female Pikachu rubbing her head against Akina's leg, much to her surprise.)
Akina Sakata: Wait a minute. You… wanna come with me? (Akina asked. To her surprise, Pikachu happily nods.)
Wild Female Pikachu: | Of course, I do. I don't know why but I feel a kinship with you. Plus, if you're gonna bulk up and help your friends, I wanna help you too. | (Pikachu said. Silence was in the air until the frowning Akina smiles in appreciation as she picks up the Pikachu and cuddles with her.)
Akina Sakata: Oh, thank you so much Pikachu! I promise that you won't regret this decision. (Akina said with a happy smile. Then as she got an empty Poké Ball.)
Akina Sakata: Go, Poké Ball! (Akina said. She threw the Poké Ball as the female Pikachu used her paw to touch the button and got sucked into the Poké Ball. The ball moved once, twice, thrice and… Click! The capture was a success much to Akina's delight as she hums happily. She picked up the Poke Ball with a cute wink, posed.)
Akina Sakata: Alright! I just acquire a Pikachu! (Akina announced in excitement.)

(Cody got into his confessional and stares in the camera, speechless of what he just witnessed to be the most touching moment while blushing like mad on his face.)
Cody Anderson: Whoa. Now that was just right! Man, she sure knows how to proclaim a successful catch. I'm glad Akina is in my team, well sub-team to be precise. But still, that was breathtaking and so sexy. (Cody exclaimed. Then Cody sighed in a romance manner. Then he notices the camera as he bulged out his eyes in shock of…)
Cody Anderson: OH GOD!? Please don't let Sierra find out about this episode! (Cody shrieked in terror.)

Cody Anderson: Well, then… Pikachu, welcome to my team. Go, Poké Ball. (Cody declared as he threw the Poké Ball. A smirking Pikachu touched the button as he got sucked into it and the Poké Ball closed. Once it lands on the ground, it moved once…. twice…. thrice…. Click! The capture was a success. Cody grabbed the Poke Ball as he smiles kindly and then pose with the Poké Ball risen to the air.)
Cody Anderson: Alright! I got caught a Pikachu! (Cody announced.)
Ben: Not that I don't mind that you have increase your party, Cody, but we have a challenge to win. (Ben said, reminding him of the challenge.)
Cody Anderson: Oh, right! Come on team. We need to be the first ones to reach Pewter City's Gym. (Cody said. Then he and everyone and their Pokémon of the Braving Charizard marches to the next exit. Unknown to them, Daisuke with his Mankey watched in admiration of the Braving Charizards' teamwork.)

Daisuke: You know what I saw in front of me. Well, yeah, my enemies, but at the very least, they display real teamwork. That's what the members of my sub-team need in order to win this challenge. Ain't that right, Mankey? (Daisuke asked. His Mankey was at his left side as he nodded in agreement.)
Daisuke's Mankey: | I know. I may be a hot-tempered Pig Monkey Pokémon but even I know to get serious when the situation is dire. But some people like that Heather and Noah could care less about it. | (Mankey said.)
Daisuke: Ahem to that. (Daisuke replied.)

(Back to the Raging Gyarados, the only grouped members being Heather, Anne Maria and Kayoko who used her Charmander as both a torch and to combat the Bug-Type Pokémon in their way. Heather grunts annoyingly.)
Heather: All the Pokémon we've encounter so far had to be bugs. Just great. (Heather said sarcastically.)
Anne Maria: Jeez, do you complain much? (Anne Maria said.)
Kayoko: Hey! In case, any of you care, we're missing three people in our sub-team. (An irritated Kayoko mustered.)
Heather: Yeah. Where are Alejandro, Daisuke and Noah? (Heather demanded.)
Anne Maria: Ah, what's wrong, Heather? Worried that your man will get sting by the big bad Bug-Type Pokémon. (Anne Maria said teasingly. Heather blushes while glaring at a laughing Anne Maria and a giggling Kayoko. During the time they spend together, Anne Maria and Kayoko got to know each other more and started to be good friends as they love it when they tease people like Heather with their relationships. However, their enjoyment was short-lived as the bushes were shaking.)
Anne Maria: Ah? Why are those bushes shaking? (A frighten Anne Maria asked. Slowly Kayoko moved the bushes as it revealed a herd of Kakuna as the girls sighed in relief.)
Kayoko: Thank god it's just a bunch of Kakuna. (Kayoko said in relief.)
Anne Maria: Say, what's a Kakuna? (Anne Maria asked in her Jersey Shore voice. Kayoko brought out her Pokédex and scans one of the Kakuna.)
Kayoko's Pokédex: "Kakuna, the Cocoon Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Weedle. Able to move only slightly, when endangered, it may stick out its stinger and poison it's enemy." (The female voice Pokédex stated.)

(In her outhouse confessional, Heather was sitting back but with her Kakuna outside his Poké Ball.)
Heather: Well, at least I know my Kakuna will sting anyone creeping or annoying me. You better be sure to aim and hit your target through, Kakuna? (Heather said. Despite not moving Kakuna had a sweat drop.)
Heather's Kakuna: | I can barely move, but alright. When I evolve. | (Kakuna said while starting to pick up some of Heather's personality into his.)

[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
(Anne Maria growls angrily at the Kakuna for making her afraid and on international television as she walks toward them.)
Anne Maria: How DARE you Cocoon covered bugs make a fool out of me on national television!? (Anne Maria said angrily. As she brought out a spray can and aiming at the Kakuna.)
Kayoko: Technically, it's both international and inter-dimensional and second, I wouldn't enraged them if I were you, Anne Maria? (Kayoko warned. Suddenly the Kakuna were looking mad at the enraged Anne Maria as she began spraying at them. Heather, remembering the words of what Chris said, suddenly became a bit frighten, evidenced by her widen eyes.)
Heather: Chris did say that this is the time of season when the Bug-Type Pokémon of Viridian Forest starts to evolve into their final states. (A worrisome Heather replied.)
Anne Maria: Ah, please. I ain't afraid of a bunch of bugs. Back home, I was known as the Queen of bug squawking and even if they try to chase me, I'll just walk a bit faster since they can barely move. Beside there's like a dozen of them and I think we can take them. (Anne Maria stated as Kayoko turns to see a few trees with hordes of Kakuna on them as it began… the Kakuna were glowing in white and blue light, much to Heather and Kayoko's shock. Then at the horde that was sprayed by Anne Maria, started to glow the same, much to her confusion. As they were all evolving, their shape changed and when it faded out, their bodies were looking a bit human-like and colored yellow with a pair of black stipes on the butt, with purplish skinny arms, legs, neck and antennas, head being a bee-shape with red insect eyes, two silver insect wings and attach to twin drill-like hands. The three girls were awkwardly scared at the newly evolved Beedrill before them.)
Wild Beedrill: | You dare to spray us with your bug sprays, humans!? | (The wild newly evolved Beedrill exclaims very angrily. Anne Maria laughed nervously.)
Anne Maria: Listen about that scaring us and me spraying you with my spray tan can, I thought you were like a certain someone who irritated me a lot in Total Drama Revenge of the Island. So, if we can just go our separate ways, we can put this little certain behind us, okay? (Anne Maria asked. However, it didn't work as Heather, Anne Maria, and Kayoko were awkwardly running away from the swarming Beedrill that were chasing her as every Beedrill were on the pursuit of the other contestants. Back at Noah and Alejandro's battle, Bulbasaur lands a Tackle at Alejandro's Charmander, which grunts painfully.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Oh no! Charmander! (Alejandro said worriedly. Charmander got up slowly as he was struggling but still had the strength to combat his opponent.)
Alejandro Burromuerto's Charmander: | N-no te preocupes, amigo mío! I ain't gonna lose to this slacker's Bulbasaur. | (Charmander said, which enraged Bulbasaur.)
Noah's Bulbasaur: | Take that back! Noah is no slacker! He may be a bit slow but once he sets his sight on a goal, he ain't stopping until he gets it! | (Bulbasaur said. Noah smirked as he was having fun battling with his Pokémon, just the same as Alejandro as they were both panting out of exhaustion.)
Noah: (Strange, I never do any exercises back home, but here… I feel more energetic and getting to know and care for my Pokémon than in the games.) (Noah wondered.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: (I must admit. I thought Pokémon were just for kids and pathetic nerds, but it looks like they are starting to grow on me. To see my burning spirited Charmander still standing even after receiving a lot of Tackles from Bulbasaur, he remains unyielding.) (Alejandro thought proudly.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Well, Noah. I must admit, you and your Bulbasaur have surprise me. It is clear that you have trained him well, but that won't be enough to stop us! (Just before the two enemies were gonna further their battle, that's when a swarm of wild Beedrills got into them as they looked shocked and frightful at the sight of them.)
Noah: OH NO! BEEDRILL! (Noah screamed. Two Beedrill were aiming at Alejandro's Charmander and Noah's Bulbasaur.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Charmander, use Ember! (Alejandro commanded.)
Noah: Dodge it, quick Bulbasaur! (Noah commanded. Obeying their commands, Charmander fired an Ember at its enemy Beedrill as it got its HP in half. Bulbasaur barely managed to dodge the Beedrill's Fury Attack. After giving his Charmander another command of Ember and defeating his fainting Beedrill, Alejandro turns to see Noah and his Bulbasaur struggling against the swarming horde of five Beedrills. Noah pants repeatedly with Bulbasaur as they were having a hard time beating him.)
Noah: Boy, this is a lot harder! If only we had a Flying-Type on our team… (As a Beedrill charged in to strike Noah's Bulbasaur with a Fury Attack…)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Use Ember, quick! (Alejandro ordered. Charmander fired a more powerful Ember at the Beedrill, causing it to faint in defeat. Noah and Bulbasaur were surprisingly confused by this.)
Noah: Ah, Okay? This is new. Since when are you helping me? (Noah asked. After his Charmander defeated another Beedrill, Alejandro turns to Noah.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Since I have tested your strength and realize a conclusion. (Alejandro said before ordering Charmander to fire an Ember at another Beedrill.)
Noah: A conclusion? (A rose eyed Noah asked.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: I know how much you detest me and trust me, the feeling's mutual. However, I believe with your experience in Pokémon and all of my physical skills combine, we can make it to the merge and to do that… (Alejandro paused as Noah, widen eyes, know what he's gonna said next.)
Noah: No. You want to be in an alliance with me! (Noah said. Alejandro nodded with a blank stare.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Think about it, Noah. You currently have one Pokémon while I possess the total of three. And look at the current state of your Bulbasaur. (Alejandro added. Seeing how his Bulbasaur is struggling after Tackling his opponent and dodging the Fury Attack of another Beedrill, it was defeated by Charmander's Ember. Noah knew Bulbasaur won't have much energy left if this continues as he turns to Alejandro.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Well? (Alejandro asked. Noah was still suspicious of Alejandro since the day they met but sighed.)
Noah: Deal. (Noah said begrudgingly. Then, he and Alejandro shook hands, solidifying their alliance.)

(In the confessional, Noah sighed sadly at now he did what he did; forging an alliance with his sworn enemy Alejandro.)
Noah: Why do I feel like I made a deal with the Devil? (Noah complained.)
Noah: Sure, Alejandro is still a wildcard and he tried to warn the others on All-Stars of Mal, but I still hate the guy and his guts. However, since this is my first ever alliance opportunity, I might use that to my advantage and reach the merge. (Noah explains. Then he had a smirk back on his face.)
Noah Thomas: So, bring it on, Alejandro. He may be a devil but he's a devil with common sense and a sense of honor. Victory thy name is Noah Vicara Thomas. (Noah finished.)

[Viridian Forest, Kanto Route 2]
(After they finished shaking hands, Noah and Alejandro turn to see Bulbasaur and Charmander getting tired from the constant battling they've partaken against the remaining Beedrill.)
Noah Thomas's Bulbasaur: | So… tired. | (Bulbasaur said weakly. Alejandro's Charmander pants)
Alejandro Burromuerto's Charmander: | Si, I don't know how long I can take this. | (Charmander said weakly. Seeing how worn his Charmander is getting, Alejandro points his Poke Ball at him.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Charmander, regresar! (Alejandro said as he sucked Charmander back into his Poké Ball. Then Alejandro brought out two more Poké Balls.)
Noah Thomas: You got two more Pokémon!? (A shocked Noah said. Alejandro threw them both at the air.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Come on out! Nidoran ! Spearow! (Alejandro said. Coming out of the Poke Balls were two Pokémon. The first Pokémon is a purplish rabbit-like Pokémon with red eyes, long ears, a rabbit-like tooth, and dark spots, a few buds on his back and a small horn on his head. And the second Pokémon is like a bird with a brown feathered head, a tan beak, red wings, brown tail, a brown feather on the upper body and tan feet with talons. Noah was amazed by the Pokémon he had known in his life.)
Noah Thomas: Nidoran and Spearow! (Noah muttered as he brought out his cyan Pokédex and scan them each.)
Noah's Pokédex: "Nidoran , the Poison Pin Pokémon. It stiffens its ears to sense danger and the larger it's horns, the more powerful it secrets venom." (The Pokédex explained.)
Noah's Pokédex: "Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. It eats bugs in grassy areas and has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne." (The Pokédex finished.)

(At another part of Viridian Forest, Daisuke was battling off his horde of wild Beedrill well with his Squirtle and Mankey, despite the latter's type disadvantage. All of the horde of Beedrill fainted on the ground as both Daisuke and his Pokémon team were panting in exhaustion.)
Daisuke: Man, these Beedrill are no pushovers. (Daisuke said taking a few breathers, until… A loud scream was overheard by him and his Pokémon.)
Daisuke: Is that… a girl? (Daisuke asked. Then he and his Pokémon went to where the source of it was. They conceal themselves as they spotted an orange hair girl with a side ponytail on her knees and surrounded by Beedrills. The girl also had emerald eyes, fair skin, and a slender body as she wore a yellow tank top with short jeans attach to expenders and tennis shoes.)
Daisuke: Who's that? (Daisuke whispered. While Daisuke admits that she finds her to be attractive, he couldn't help but think that he knows her from somewhere. As the Beedrill were leaning in closer, the girl was shivering in constant fear of Bug-Type Pokémon as the Beedrill looked menacing at her, much to Daisuke's dismay.)
Daisuke: (Whether this is part of the challenge or not, I can't stand this!) (A serious Daisuke thought.)
Daisuke: Hey, Punk-drills! (Daisuke shouted, catching the Beedrill and the girl's attention as Daisuke revealed himself along with his recovered Squirtle and Mankey whom both liked seriously fierce at the Beedrills.)
Daisuke: Leave that girl alone! She had nothing to do with you shitheads! (Daisuke cussed. It was a bad move as the Beedrill had tick marks on their heads. They turn their attention from the girl to Daisuke and his team as he commanded.)
Daisuke: Squirtle, splash them with Water Gun! Mankey use Bide! (Daisuke ordered.)
Daisuke's Mankey & Squirtle: | Got it! | (They both said as Squirtle fired a Water Gun at the Beedrill in front of him while Mankey took on all of the Beedrill's Poison Sting and Fury Attacks. Mankey growls angrily. Squirtle dodges the attack of his opponent as Daisuke command for another Water Gun and lands a direct hit at the Beedrill, which fell to the ground and fainted. Then after taking down a few more Beedrills with a few Tackles, Tail Whips and Water Guns, Squirtle smirks proudly.)
Daisuke: Now that's the way, Squirtle. (Daisuke said, praising his Pokémon.)
Daisuke's Squirtle: | Well, thanks for the nice words, Daisuke. What about you Mankey? | (Squirtle asked his comrade as he got a lot more hits from the Beedrills in two turns, Mankey grunts but opened his eyes in fierce rage.)
Daisuke's Mankey: | You've hit me quite ENOUGH! Take this BIDE! | (Mankey screamed as he fired the Bide energy at all of the Beedrill in front of him. The blast was white and large due to the fact that he received a lot of damages from his opponents. When it faded, all of the Beedrills fainted on the ground. As for the few Beedrill left, they went from angered to fearful of this trainer and his Pokémon as they screamed.)
Wild Beedrill Horde: | BUZZZ! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! RUN! They're too strong! | (The Beedrills shrieked in cowardliness. The orange hair girl looked in awestruck of the trainer who saved her from the swarm of Beedrill.)
Girl: (Whoa! Even though I thought he was being suicidal when he provoked those Beedrill, he knew exactly what he's doing. He's not just using brute strength, but strategy as well. Just who is this guy?) (Girl thought. Then Daisuke approached the girl as he offered her a helping hand with a kind smile.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Here, let me help you. I'm Daisuke. Daisuke Umizawa! A pleasure to meet you. (Daisuke said generously. The girl was breathtaking by the boy's kind introduction. originally, she assumed that since he got a Fighting-Type on his team he would be arrogant and ignorant to say that it's a man's job or something, but before her was a true gentleman with a pure heart of goodness as she took the offered hand.)
Girl: Thank you for your help. It was pretty scary being surround by those Beedrill. Bug-Type Pokémon gives me the creeps. I just can't stand them. (An awkward/fearful looking girl said shakenly. Daisuke giggles kindly, which made the girl growled in embarrassment,)
Girl: Hey! It's not that funny! (The girl yelled, feeling indignity. Daisuke, with an awkward looking nervous expression, gestured in an apologizing manner.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Oh, no. That's not what I'm implying. It's just that you remind me of my little sister back home where I'm from. She has a phobia of fairies believe it or not. (Daisuke said. The girl calmed down after hearing that. She felt touched that he has a little sister that he cares about, but then looked confused at what he said.)
Girl: Fairies? Why would your sister be afraid of fairies, they're not that harmful? (The girl asked. Daisuke smiled with a pleading expression.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Trust me, everyone including you have a fear that you don't want others to know. For instance, I'm afraid of sandstorms. They're sort but mix it with raging winds, and it bring pain to you like a million tiny blades piercing your skin… uh, sorry I didn't catch your name. (Daisuke asked. The girl blushed in embarrassment as she did not introduce herself. She giggled nervously.)
Girl: Yeah, I guess I never did give you my name. It's Misty. (The girl, Misty said. Daisuke widen his eyes in awkward shock.)
Daisuke Umizawa: HUH!? (Daisuke yelled in awkwardness.)

(In his bedroom mode confessional, a widen eyes Daisuke was still speechless to have met a legend in his world!)
Daisuke Umizawa: I couldn't believe it!? I was able to save THE Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader. (Daisuke said in astonishment.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Before coming here, I had a hard time beating the Cerulean Gym in the Generation I games against her Starmie. She was one of the toughest and intellectual Gym Leaders I have ever faced in battle. And over time I started to develop a secret crush on her. (A blushing Daisuke explained. Daisuke looked away from a bit before facing the camera again.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I know it was years ago and that I originally thought she was just a video game character, but to meet my inspiration to be a Water-Type Trainer in person has rekindle the spark that I have for her, but I ain't gonna let it distract me in this game. My top priority is Misty, I mean winning the prize. (Daisuke said awkwardly. Then he face-palmed himself as he sighed embarrassed.)

(Just before Misty and Daisuke could converse some more, more loud screams were overheard at a different direction.)
Misty: Whoa! What was that? (Misty asked.)
Daisuke Umizawa: That must be my teammates. I gonna go help them. (Daisuke stated. As he left with his Pokémon team, Misty couldn't help but blush in admiration.)
Misty: Even though, he's on this competition, that Daisuke sure is the most generous and selfless trainer I've ever met. I sure hope he won't get booted out. (Misty said dreamy, starting to develop a crush on Daisuke. The scene changes to the Braving Charizard as some Beedrill were taken by Embers of Ezekiel and Tatsumi's Charmander. Ben and Natsuko's Bulbasaur were able to take down their fair share of Beedrill with Tackles and Vine Whip. As for Cody and Akina.)
Cody Anderson: Use Water Gun, Squirtle! (Cody commanded.)
Akina Sakata: And you use Tail Whip to lower their defense, Squirtle. (Akina commanded. Both Squirtles got to work as Akina's Squirtle use a Tail Whip on the Beedrill, lowering their Defense stats while Cody's Squirtle fired a Water Gun at his opponent as the wild Beedrill fainted to the ground. Just as Cody smiles at excitement, a wild Beedrill sneaks behind him without his knowledge as Akina threw a Poke Ball.)
Akina Sakata: Go, Pidgey! Use Gust! (Akina commanded. Coming out of the Poke Ball is Akina's Pidgey looking serious.)
Akina Sakata's Pidgey: | Right away! | (The female Tiny Bird Pokémon said. Then Pidgey's Gust hit Beedrills with little to no effort as the screaming Beedrill buzzed slowly as he fell to the ground, completely fainted. Surprised at first, but Cody smiled in gratefulness.)
Cody Anderson: Wow! Thanks for the save there, Akina. You're the best. (Cody complimented. Akina giggled with a bit of blushes on her face. After she ordered her Pidgey to use another Gust to take down another Beedrill, there are still a lot more coming to the Braving Charizard. Some of the trainers' Pokémon, such as Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, were panting repeatedly in exhaustion.)
Tatsumi: Tch! There's still more Beedrill coming ahead of us. And most of our Pokémon are starting to get worn out. (Tatsumi said in frustration with a hard stare.)
Natsuko: Don't forget, the Gyarados could be heading this way by now. We need some way to take these Beedrill down once and for all and complete the challenge. (Natsuko suggested.)
Ezekiel: But, how are we gonna do that, eh? (Ezekiel asked. Just as a few Beedrill were charging in on Cody and Tatsumi, both Akina and Ben widen their eyes in shock as, in slow motion, were rushing in to block their attack on them with themselves.)
Ben: (I may not have the physical power…)
Akina Sakata: (To beat these Beedrill….) (Akina thought.)
Ben: (But the least I can do is protect her from harm's way.) (Ben thought.)
Akina Sakata: (I may still consider myself as a cause of pain to guys I like…, but I'm gonna show Cody….) (Akina thought.)
Ben: (Show Tatsumi…) (Ben thought. Finally, both Ben and Akina got into a blocking stance as the Beedrill got close to them.)
Akina & Ben: (That I will protect my friends! I will protect you!) (They both thought at the same time. Just as Beedrill's attacks landed their marks, both Ben and Akina closed her eyes to expect the outcome, but it didn't come as they opened and looked in shock that Ben's Metapod and Kakuna and Akina's Metapod out of their Poké Balls)
Ben: Metapod! Kakuna! Why? (Ben asked.)
Akina Sakata: Oh, no. Metapod?! (A tearing Akina said with her mouth covered.)
Ben's Metapod: | Don't worry about it, Ben. | (Metapod said struggling to maintain his Harden with Kakuna.)
Ben's Kakuna: | We won't let these Beedrill lay harm on you and your friends, our friends. | (Kakuna said.)
Akina Sakata's Metapod: | I'm used to being cowardly against big and scary Pokémon, but… if it means to stop letting you suffer, Akina, then…. THEN I'M WILLING TO TAKE THIS TO PROTECT THE ONES I LOVEEE! | (Metapod screamed as he, Ben's Metapod and Kakuna were glowing in white and blue. The Charizard and wild Beedrils looked in shock of what's happening.)
Akina Sakata: Metapod and Kakuna…
Cody Anderson: They're all evolving! (Cody finished. Then Metapod and Kakuna's appearance change into their final forms. After the glowing died out, while Kakuna evolved into a Beedrill, Metapod were now bigger butterfly-like Pokémon with blue bodies, oval shape light blue feet, two antennas, long white wings with black stripes on them, red insect eyes, light blue nose/mouth with twin fangs, and little three finger hands.)
Ben's Butterfree: | Behold! | (Ben's Butterfree said proudly.)
Akina Sakata's Butterfree: | Whoa?! I've… I've evolved. | (Akina's Butterfly said in astonishment. Like him, Akina and the rest of the Charizards were amazed by these sudden evolutions occurring.)
Akina Sakata: Wow! He's so cute. (A smiling Akina said as she brought out her Pokédex and scans it.)
Ben: So is Beedrill. (As did Ben complimented and brought out his neon green Pokédex and scan Beedrill.)
Akina's Pokédex: "Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Metapod. In battle, it flaps its wings at high speed to release highly toxic dust into the air." (The Pokédex stated.)
Ben's Pokédex: "Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Kakuna. It flies at high speed and attacks using its large venomous stingers on its forelegs and tail." (The Pokédex stated. Ben's Beedrill nods at that information the Pokédex said.)
Ben's Beedrill: | So true. | (Beedrill said. Then all the male Beedrill stared at Ben's Beedrill in a love-sick stare with hearts popping out of their eye sockets, becoming love-infatuation with her.)
Wild Beedrill Horde: | Whoa! Would you look at that! What a babe. Man, she's so beautiful. Dang! What a beautiful Beedrill. | (They were chattering about. The Charizard were confused by the wild swarm's sudden cease of their assaults on them.)
Ezekiel: Whoa!? Why aren't they attacking us, eh? (Ezekiel asked. Ben sighed annoyed as he knew the reason.)
Ben: It could be that the fact that my Beedrill is a girl and that most of that swarm is consisted of males, hence the whole love at first sight phase. (Ben verifies. Ben's Beedrill had an awkward sweat drop and an annoyed face.)
Ben's Beedrill: | Ah, jeez. They stop attacking us once I've finished evolving. | (Ben's Beedrill muttered in silence. Footsteps were being made as the Charizard turn to see the Raging Gyarados were appearing and running for the exit of the Viridian Forest.)
Akina Sakata: Oh, no! Here comes the Raging Gyarados! (Akina said, panicking. Seeing the worried looks on his teams, Sosuke thought of an idea for his team's advantage as he turns to his Beedrill.)
Ben: Beedrill, I need your help in order for our team to win this challenge. Do you trust me? (Ben's Beedrill was astonished. While she knew that most Trainers couldn't understand their language and that some could care less of what they feel, but with Ben she was happy that he is concern and caring toward her and Butterfree. To prove the new bond, she is making with her trainer, Beedrill nodded.)
Ben's Beedrill: | Of course. | (Ben's Beedrill said.)
Ben: Can you convince this swarm to charge at the Gyarados in order to give us time to make it to the Pewter Gym? (Ben asked. Beedrill thought over the pros and cons of this plan.)
Ben's Beedrill: | Hmm… I'm not sure if I can fulfill what I'll promise to these male Beedrill, but I will do anything to help you and the others win the challenge, Ben. | (Beedrill said. Then she turns to the male Beedrill and began to talk.)
Ben's Beedrill: | Excuse me, fellas. But if you can give me your attention for a bit, that group of humans are the enemies of my trainer and his team. If you could chase after them at the other way, I would appreciate your help, but… | (Ben's Beedrill started to tear up, much to the male Beedrill's shock.)
Ben's Beedrill: | If they get near my Trainer and his friends, they'll beat them to death, and it will be as tragic as seeing a group of newly Weedle hatchlings getting in harm's way. | (Ben's Beedrill said tearfully as she sobs. The Beedrill and Braving Charizard trainers were astonished by this, but it worked perfectly as the male Beedrill turn to glare at the Raging Gyarados.)
Wild Beedrill #1: (Is that so? Come on fellas! Let's show those humans the power of us Beedrill!)
Wild Beedrill Horde: | RIGHT! | (They all said in unison. Then they flew off toward the Raging Gyarados.)
Heather: Look, there's those Braving Charizard losers. (Heather stated while pointing at them. Then a smirking Alejandro said.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Perfect. This means we still have a chance to win this challenge. (Alejandro said. Sudden they all hear buzzing sounds as they looked to see the Beedrill swarm, were angrily chasing toward them as Heather, Kayoko and Anne Maria were yelling in fear with the guys looking shock as an awkward expression Noah said.)
Noah Thomas: BEEDRILL! (Noah screamed. Just as they could've turn to run away, the Raging Gyarados were surrounded by the swarm. The Braving Charizard smiled at the success their friend Ben's plan has done.)
Cody Anderson: This is great. Now we have time to break for it and reach Pewter City. (Cody said. After they retreated their Pokémon back to their Poké Balls, the teammates began to run toward the exit while Ben patted his Beedrill on the head.)
Ben: I can't thank you enough for doing this, Beedrill. (Ben said in appreciation. Beedrill closed her eyes as she was liking the compliment and patting.)
Ben's Beedrill: | No problem. I like helping the team and I'm gonna love being your Pokémon, Ben. | (Beedrill said. Then Ben brought out his Poké Ball.)
Ben: Now then, return. (Ben said as the Poke Ball sucked in Beedrill. After putting it away, Ben fasts off to catch up with the others.)

(Outside of the Pewter City Gym, Chris was whistling as he spotted a group coming in. As he scouted a bit, he saw that Cody, Akina, Tatsumi, Ezekiel, Natsuko and Ben were coming on into the Pewter Gym and finally made it to the entrance.)
Chris McLean: Alright! It looks like you Brave Charizard are the first ones here and thus, you all won this challenge, along with invincibility. (Chris announced. Every trainer in the Braving Charizard cheer out loud in victory. Coming into the scene were all the members of the Raging Gyarados who were surprised to see the Braving Charizard in front of the Gym before them.)
Chris McLean: Hi there, Raging Gyarados. It seems that the Braving Charizard got here before any of you, and you know that means. You lose the challenge. (Chris said. The Raging Gyarados sighed disappointedly.)
Chris McLean: However, there will be no voting as this is a non-elimination round. (Chris said The Raging Gyarados sighed in relief.)
Chris McLean: However, I need one of you, the loser team, to volunteer to spend the night at Viridian Forest. (Everyone, including the Braving Charizard, were shocked by this.)
Noah Thomas: Whoa! Why would we do that? (A shocked Noah asked.)
Chris McLean: Because if memory serves me right. Not only would you get a chance of more training in preparation for the Gym Battle, but I believe I had left a Mew Immunity Idol there. (Chris added.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Sure, now he tells us. And even if he was lying to us, I wanted to go back to check up on Misty. (Daisuke exclaimed while showing concerns for Misty.)

[Pewter City]
(The entire members of the Raging Gyarados were having some difficulties in deciding who should head back to Viridian Forest. Alejandro sighed as he rose his hand.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Very well. I shall volunteer to spend the night in Viridian Forest. (Alejandro exclaimed. Looking brave and fearless as he walked toward the Viridian Forest while the others like Noah and Anne Maria didn't seem to care and those like Daisuke and Kayoko looked a bit impressed and speechless at his decision. Heather, on the other hand looked a bit worrisome that Alejandro is going into one of the most frightful forests in the Pokémon World.)

Heather Hamilton: Okay for the record, I, Heather Hamilton, was just acting out for the cameras. I am not, I repeat, am not that much worried for that hot, manipulative, brave Spaniard taste of heaven in this world of Pokémon. Oh, mama. I feel my heart fill with happiness. (Heather said. Heather sighed affectionately. Squirtle looked worried as he taps on Heather's shoulder.)
Heather's Squirtle: | Ah, Heather? | (Squirtle said as he points to the direction of the camera recording her, much to Heather's shock.)

[Pewter Museum of Science, Pewter City]
(The Braving Charizards and Chris were at the Pewter City Science Museum as Chris walked toward the Charizard with a tray on his hand.)
Chris McLean: I know you guys are anxious to train and getting ready for the gym battle with the Gym Leader, but before that you will receive your reward and a little bonus on the whole wardrobe upgrades, seeing that Cody's clothes are a bit tattered. (Chris said. Cody smiled sheepishly as they looked at Cody and how messed up his clothes were from the attack of his new acquired Pidgeotto and the swarm of wild Beedrill. Just then, Chris removed the cover on the tray to reveal a pair of three rocks; two that had the shape of a dome-like head, two with a snail shell and two that are like amber in the shape of an oval.)
Ezekiel: Fossils? (Ezekiel wondered.)
Chris McLean: Not just any ordinary kind of fossils, Ezekiel. These fossils contain the DNA traces of prehistoric Pokémon that can be revived and thus gaining another Pokémon on your parties. (Chris informed. The Braving Charizard cheer at the thought of having a prehistoric Pokémon on their team.)
Chris McLean: However, the restoration machines here are unavailable so you're gonna have to travel to Cinnabar Island and used their machines to revive your Pokémon. (Chris said. Everyone in the Braving Charizard sighed disappointedly.)
Chris McLean: Now, then. Pick which of you will receive a fossil you want and be prepare for tonight's Gym Battle. (Chris finished. The Braving Charizard were thinking amongst themselves until Ben made the first move.)
Ben Jutsuku: Very well then, I, Bengoku Sosuke Jutsuku, will pick the Helix Fossil. (Ben said, adding his full name in the process. Then he picked up the Helix Fossil and put it away in his bag. Akina choose the Old Amber, and Tatsumi picked the Dome Fossil.)
Chris McLean: Great, now with that done, does any of you want a change of outfits? (Chris asked. While the Japanese members of the Braving Charizard were already given that privilege before they got to Kanto, Cody and Ezekiel were thinking about it until…)
Ezekiel: No thanks. I'm gonna stick with this until further notice. (Ezekiel said. Cody, after giving it some thought.)
Cody Anderson: I'll take that offer. (Cody admits. Akina rose her hand up.)
Akina Sakata: Hey, Chris. Mind if I tag along with him just to help him pick the right set for him? (Akina asked. Cody rose a brow in curiosity.)
Chris McLean: Ah, alright. The Clothes Store is right there. (Chris, pointing to the directing of the Clothes Store as Cody and Akina left.)
[Pokémon Center Training Grounds, Pewter City]
(It was the afternoon. While Cody and Akina were clothes shopping, the remaining members of the Braving Charizards were hard at work training.)
Tatsumi: Use Scratch! (Tatsumi commanded. Her Charmander charge in with her claws glowing for a Scratch.)
Natsuko: Intersect with Tackle! (Natsuko commanded. Bulbasaur growled as she charged in as both Charmander's Scratch and Bulbasaur's Tackle lands hits on each other. As they attack and doge their moves repeatedly, Ezekiel and Ben were training with their Charmander and Rattata and Butterfree and Beedrill.)
Ben Jutsuku: Beedrill, use Fury Attack! Butterfree, Confusion! (Ben commanded. Butterfree fired a Confusion as Beedrill flew toward Charmander.)
Ezekiel: Charmander, intersect it with Ember! And Rattata dodge it quick! (Ezekiel commanded. Charmander roared as he ran and fired an Ember at Beedrill, which made a direct hit. Rattata would've dodge it but got caught in the Confusion, taking damages from it. Rattata cried painfully.)
Ezekiel: No! Rattata! (A shocked Ezekiel exclaimed. Rattata fell hard on the ground as he struggles but got up on his feet. While Ben was glad that Rattata was okay, he frowns upon seeing Ezekiel looking sad.)
Ben Jutsuku: What's wrong, Ezekiel? (Ben asked. Ezekiel sighed heavily.)
Ezekiel: I'm sorry, Ben. It's just… I'm scared that I'm gonna screw it up and make our team wait another day. I've been eliminated first twice and during my time in Total Drama World Tour I turn into some feral creature. I mean I know we won the first challenge, but I just can't help but feel this pressure around me. I'm afraid of being too confident of winning and trying to fit in. I'm just… scared. (Ezekiel said. Rattata looked sadden by looking at his depressed trainer.)
Ezekiel's Rattata: | Ezekiel. | (Rattata said. Charmander whined in sadness of his trainer's low self-esteem while the girls were staring in surprise of this. Despite how they reacted at the sexist comment made by Ezekiel back in Total Drama Island, even they knew what he said wasn't right and knows that he's sorry about it. Ben, with his arms crossed, was silence until he spoke.)
Ben Jutsuku: Then, that is what we will need for future challenges ahead of us. (Ben said. Ezekiel gasped in shocking surprise.)
Ben Jutsuku: A true heartless person wouldn't apologize nor feel sadden for his past mistakes as those with true strength and a stronger heart can learn from them. A trainer must learn to be adapted of everything and that includes winning and losing battles. If you don't learn anything from your opponent, you won't be able to defeat them. Zeke let me tell you this. Even I get nervous and scared whenever I meet new people and try something new. (Ben said.)
Ezekiel: Ah… you do? (Ezekiel asked surprised. Ben nodded.)
Ben Jutsuku: There's no such thing as absolute perfection. Everyone is afraid of something or screwing up. The simplest things to do is take a deep breath, calm your mind and think of your actions and what reaction it will cause. Pokémon Battles may require some quick thinking and strategy, but at the same time it is to test the bond between Pokémon and trainer. (Ben said. Ezekiel looked both impressed and starting to learn.)
Ezekiel: The bond between… trainer and Pokémon? (Ezekiel said while looking at his palm. Then he turns to see his Rattata.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
Ezekiel: Wow, I never received such sage advice like that before. Usually, I get my education being homeschooled at my family's farm, but due to my dad's sexist lessons, I got kicked out in the first episode of Total Drama Island and being too overconfident did the same to me on Total Drama World Tour, but this time… I'm gonna win it and learn more about the real world, both our world and this Pokémon world. Ain't that right, Rattata, Charmander? (Ezekiel said. His Charmander and Rattata smiled happily as they nodded.)
Ezekiel's Rattata: | You bet, Ezekiel. I know we have only known each other for a few days but you're starting to show such promise as a trainer. | (Rattata said.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | I know I'm not the brightest on book smarts, but when it comes to strength and street smarts, you can count on me, Zeke. | (Charmander said. Ezekiel smiled, cheering up.)
[Futuristic Click]
(Ben was sitting on his confessional as he spoke with Bulbasaur by his side on the drawer with the hidden camera recording the confessional.)
Ben Jutsuku: Okay, I guess I didn't want to say this, but I am starting to develop an attraction on Tatsumi. She's pretty, smart, brave and gifted as a Pokémon Trainer. She only has one Pokémon on her party but has sheer confidence that she'll win her match against Brock. Boy, she sure can get someone rally up if I do say so myself. (Ben admits.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | Wow! Hearing you talk about Tatsumi is admirable, Ben. Why don't you try asking her out? | (Bulbasaur said. Somehow, Ben understood his Pokémon's words.)
Ben Jutsuku: Woah, there Bulbasaur. I can't just simply ask her out. After all, we are on a journey and a competition. Relationships always mess the focus of competition up. (Ben said. A short silence was in the room until Bulbasaur said.)
Ben's Bulbasaur: | Or make them better. | (A smiling Bulbasaur said. Ben sighed.)

[Pokémon Center Training Grounds, Pewter City]
Cody Anderson: Hey there, guys. (Cody said. After everyone's attention were drawn by the sound of Cody's voice, they widen their eyes in astonishment as they saw him in his new attire. Cody now wears a black vest with a gold long shirt underneath, a red jacket that was opened, a matching tie but with horizontal stripes in green and brown, new blue jeans, a gold knit cap with dark brown pattern design being that of a Poké Ball and a pair of black fingerless gloves with green trims while his shoes were the only clothing unchanged. Akina was smiling and had a bag with Cody's old clothes inside it.)
Cody Anderson: What'd you think of my new look? (Cody asked. The guys were giving Cody a thumb up at how good he looked while Tatsumi was in a thinking expression and Natsuko looked a bit blank with a frown. Everyone present were quiet until one of the girls spoke.)
Natsuko: Wow. Now that's quite the sudden change you have made in your attire, Cody. (Natsuko said calmly. Tatsumi's frown turns into a small smile.)
Tatsumi: I agree. This new look on you makes you appear more mature than your previous attire. (Tatsumi said. Blushing in being flattered, Cody had a small blush on his face while smiling appreciated and rubbing the side of his hair with his hand.)
Cody Anderson: Thanks, I couldn't have gotten to this style if it wasn't for Akina. (Cody said. Akina smiles happily while giggling, flattered by Cody's kind words.)
Ezekiel: Hey there, Cody. So, what took you so long to get here, eh? (Ezekiel commented.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah sorry about that. We would've gotten here after purchasing the clothes but Akina and I met this guy on the road and asked us if we were trainers planning to challenge the Gym Leader. Which we answered yes and you never gonna believe what he gave us just as we were starting our training. (Cody said. Then Akina took over as she brought out two grey color discs from her pocket. Ben widens his eyes in surprise!)
Ben Jutsuku: Wait a minute. Are these… TMs?! (Ben asked. Cody and Akina nods. After handing them to him, Ben saw each of the TMs having numbers; the left one is 23 and the right one is 47.)
Ben Jutsuku: These are TM23 and TM47. But these aren't from the first generation. (Ben stated.)
Akina Sakata: You're right, Ben. These are from Hoenn. The man told us that 24 is usually Dragon Rage and 47 is Explosion in Kanto, but he got these during his trip in the Hoenn Region as he asked if there were any Pokémon we had that got the type advantage in case our Squirtle were to ever get beaten. (Akina finished.)
Ezekiel: Ah, why would Cody's and your Squirtle get defeated? (Ezekiel asked. Cody and Akina were a bit struggling to answer him with the risk of getting an instant elimination should they spoil the part of the journey. However, that's when Tatsumi came in.)
Tatsumi: Ezekiel, whatever type the Gym Leader specialize in, regardless of type advantages and disadvantages, they are more powerful than ordinary trainers. They are not so easily beatable as they only award their gym badges to those who prove the strength and bond of their Pokémon. (Tatsumi explained. Ezekiel thought it slowly but carefully and saw the good reasons as he smiled.)
Ezekiel: Yeah, I guess that is a good point, eh? (Ezekiel said. Then Ezekiel's stomach growls as he blushes in embarrassment. Ezekiel laughed nervously.)
Ezekiel: Guess I'm starting to get hungry, eh? All that training with my Pokémon can really work up an appetite. (Ezekiel said. Everyone shared a good laugh together, including the Pokémon.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah, Zeke's right. We can't face the Gym Leader with an empty stomach. Let's go to the Pokémon Center cafeteria and get a meal. (Cody suggested. Everyone nodded as they beamed their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls. As everyone headed for the Pokémon Center, Ben paused as he turns to see Tatsumi holding on to his arm.)
Tatsumi: Ah, Ben. Can I talk to you for a moment? (Tatsumi asked. While this was a bit of a surprise, Ben kindly nodded as she let go of his arm.)
Ben Jutsuku: Sure. What's up? (Ben asked. Tatsumi looked a bit away from Ben as she was blushing a red tint on her face but mustered the courage to say.)
Tatsumi: Back in Viridian Forest, when a Beedrill was charging at me, you threw yourself in its path. (Tatsumi said. Ben recalled the time that he nearly got killed protecting Tatsumi from a wild Beedrill earlier in the challenge.)
Tatsumi: I have to know, why did you do it? (Tatsumi asked. Ben kindly shook his head softly.)
Ben Jutsuku: You know, Tatsumi. It wasn't about "the big tough guy coming to save the girl" thing. I could've brought out my Kakuna and Metapod to protect you with their Harden, but you know something. I'm not that kind of trainer who uses his Pokémon as shields and tools. I will never be those trainers. I want to be a Hero who can stand side by his Pokémon as equals. (Ben admits. Tatsumi stared at Ben in awestruck by how selfless and kind he is to his Pokémon.)
Ben Jutsuku: And as for why I chose to block that attack. I think the answer is simple. I did it because you're my teammate and friend. If any of you were in danger, I would be there with my Pokémon readying to engage the enemy with our strength. And besides there was no time so I just simply got into a block stance, ready to take the bullet or Poison Sting to be accurate. (Ben said. Both Tatsumi and Ben shared a soft laugh at the comment.)
Tatsumi: Still, thank you for that. And don't worry, I'll be sure to repay you someday for that debt. (Tatsumi said.)
Ben Jutsuku: Don't worry about it. As long as you're alright, I'm good. (Ben said. Then he left to go into the Pokémon Center.)
[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]

Tatsumi: Such modesty and bravery. Oh, how I love those qualities in a man. At home, most of my classmates feared me because of my strength and disciplinary style. There are hardly any boys at my hometown who would have the guts or courage to talk to me in a romantic interest. And even if there were boys brave enough, they are usually gangsters until I beat them into a bloody pulp. (Tatsumi said. Charmander looked confused by this.)
Tatsumi: However, despite my firm expression, Ben isn't afraid of me. It's been a long time since I met someone who such calmness and courage. (Tatsumi added. Then she sighed in a romantic tone.)

[Pokémon Center, Pewter City]
(In a table of the Pokémon Center's café were five of the members of the Raging Gyarados looking depressed as they ended up as the losing team and the first one to be accurate. Kayoko looked upset, Heather scowled in disgust, Anne Maria was simply spraying herself with hair cosmetics, Noah looking bored and trying his best not to show his annoyance and Daisuke had a hand holding his chin while he frowns.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Well, this sucks. (Daisuke exclaimed.)
Noah Thomas: At least it wasn't an elimination round. (Noah commented.)
Heather Hamilton: Says you, lazy bookworm. (Heather said in annoyance. Noah rolled his eyes, not caring what Heather called him. Entering the Pokémon Center was Misty herself. After she handed Nurse Joy her Pokémon to recover, Misty turns to see Daisuke.)
Misty: Daisuke, is that you? (Misty said. Upon hearing his name, Daisuke to see Misty as his frown turns into a smile.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Hey there, Misty. How was your walk out of the Viridian Forest? (Daisuke asked.)
Misty: Well, there weren't any bugs along the way so I can say it was a decent, good walk. (Misty said. Then she looked to the rest of the Raging Gyarados.)
Misty: So, these are the teammates you mentioned back in the forest. They don't seem to be that bad if you asked me. (Misty said.)
Noah Thomas: Trust me, you don't wanna get to know the rest of these nutjobs if you ask me. (Noah said which got in the nerve of Anne Maria, Heather and Kayoko.)
All (Kayoko, Heather & Anne Maria): HEY! (They said in unison.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Anyhow, these are my teammates; that's Noah. (Daisuke said pointing to the ignoring Noah who waved simply.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Anne Maria. (Daisuke said. Anne Maria stopped spraying herself as she finally notices the introduction.)
Anne Maria: Uh? Did you say something? (Anne Maria asked.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Kayoko. (Daisuke said. Kayoko waved for a bit.)
Kayoko: Hey there. Sorry you had to see our depressive side. We just lost a challenge. (Kayoko replied.)
Heather Hamilton: Uh! Don't remind me. (Heather complained.)
Daisuke Umizawa: And the big whimper there is Heather. (Daisuke said. Heather huffs and turn her face to the other side.)
Misty: So, these are your teammates? (A confused Misty asked.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Well not everyone, we're missing Alejandro, but he had to go back to Viridian Forest because we are currently the losing team of the Pewter Challenge. You see we are in…
Misty: In a reality show that are partaking in challenges for a chance to win a large sum of money. (Misty answered calmly and an instant. Then everyone in the Raging Gyarados were shocked or surprise to how Misty got it right.)
Misty: Uhh? At least that's what I heard since I got into town. (Misty said with her hand scratching the side of her head. Then she nervously laughs. Heather glares at the Water-Type Trainer while Kayoko looked a bit uninterested at her.)

Heather Hamilton: Okay, I've been on Total Drama for a long time, and I have been in this new crossover show for a few days now, but how does that carrot top tomboy know that we're in a realty show in the first place. I have a gut feeling that she's hiding something. (Heather said in suspicion.)
[Futuristic Click]
Kayoko: Oh, please. I already know who Misty is. I'm not bothering to explain it to any of you as I already know what the others' reaction will be like once we head to Cerulean City. However, that will cause a bit of a disadvantage as Fire-Type are weak against Water-Types and Charmander is currently my only Pokémon. Such a minor setback. (Kayoko informs.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City]
(It was sunset outside as the Pewter Gym was opened hence it's lights still on. While the Raging Gyarados were either training or just lodging in the Pokémon Center, inside the Pewter Gym, the battlefield was marvelous as there were pillars and structure of grey rocks and at the side for the Gym Leader was a young man close to the Trainers' age group. He had tan skin, a straight fair body, wearing an orange shirt, a green sleeveless vest, brown pants and gray and show sneakers. He had a spiky style of his brown hair and his eyes were closed but can clearly see.)
Chris McLean: Welcome to the first gym battle on your journey, trainers. Over here we have the Rock-Type Gym Leader of Pewter City's gym. Let's give a warm Total Drama Pokémon welcome to… BROCK! (Chris announced. Everyone in the Braving Charizard were excited to meet Brock in person.)
Brock: Hi, it's nice to meet you Pokémon Trainers from another world. (Brock said. The Braving Charizards\ were surprised by what Brock just said in his comment.)
Cody Anderson: Wait, how did you know we're from another…
Brock: I believe it was Chris here who told me of your arrival just before your challenge began. (Brock confirmed.)
Brock: Since all of you know how you will advance in the game and most of you have knowledge of how Gym Battles work, I'll skip some of them. (Serious look) But know this, just cause you're in a competition with the other contestants it doesn't mean I'll go easy on you. You're still Trainers in my book so I will give it my all to test the strength and bonds you have with your Pokémon. (Brock stated. Surprisingly everyone kindly nods. Brock softens his look.)
Brock: Okay, this will be a two on two battle. If any of you still only one Pokémon in your team than I will shorten your own matches in a one on one match. As you know, I specialize in Rock-Type Pokémon. Which of you will be the first to challenge me? (Brock said. Cody got up from his seat as he walks to the side for challengers as he smirks proudly, confident in his skills and in the power of his Pokémon.)
Cody Anderson: I'll go first! It's always been my dream to face the Gym Leaders before my very eyes. (Cody declared. Brock smirked proudly, liking this trainer's eagerness and confidence in his Pokémon.)
Brock: Impressive display of confidence and admiration. Please tell me, what is your name, Trainer? (Brock asked as he enlarged a Poké Ball in his hand. Cody kept his proud smirk as he got out and enlarge a Poké Ball as well.)
Cody Anderson: Cody, Cody Anderson of Winnipeg City. And here comes my first choice… Let's Go… Pidgeotto! (Cody Anderson threw the Poké Ball into the air and coming out was his Pidgeotto.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | I'm ready to soar! | (Pidgeotto said as he stretches out his wings.)
Brock: Hmm, a Flying-type. Not much of an advantage against my Geodude! (Brock stated as he threw his Poké Ball in the air. Coming out in a white beam was a brown rock creature with a boulder body and a pair of arms.)
Brock's Geodude: | Bring it on. | (Geodude declared. Cody looked interested to see Brock's Geodude.)
Cody Anderson: Alright! A Geodude. (Cody exclaimed as he brought out his Pokédex and scans the Pokémon.)
Cody's Pokédex: "Geodude, the Rock Pokémon. Found in fields and mountains, people mistake them for boulders, which they often step or trip on them as it irritates them." (The Pokédex stated. As both Pidgeotto and Geodude were staring down at each other, Chef, wearing a referee uniform, got on the side of the field as he said.)
Chef Hatchet: Listen up you maggots and Trainers of all time. This here is a Gym Battle between Brock, the Pewter Gym Leader, and the challenger Cody Anderson of Winnipeg. Now each side will only use two Pokémon in a single battle. Whoever beats the other's two Pokémon, wins. Only the challenger is allowed to switch his Pokémon. Now quiet down, focus on the match, and sit your BUTTS down NOW! (Chef announced. The shocked Braving Charizard quiet down as they instantly sat on their seats in the bleachers.)
Chef Hatchet: Now, let the match… BEGIN! (Chef declared.)
Cody Anderson: Now then, Pidgeotto use Quick Attack! (Cody commanded, making the first move. Pidgeotto got in the air, glow in white aura and instantly flies toward Geodude.)
Brock: Intercept it with Tackle, Geodude. (Brock commanded. Geodude moved as he and Pidgeotto make their first hits at each other. Both were struggling to overpower the other hand, despite the most damage being given to Pidgeotto as he screeches hardly.)
Ezekiel: Whoa! I should say that it's gotta hurt for both of them, but it seems to me that Pidgeotto took most of the damage from Geodude's attack. (Ezekiel stated. Ben smiled at Ezekiel's observation.)
Ben Jutsuku: You're learning more and more about Pokémon, Zeke. You see Normal-Type moves have little effect on Rock-Types since they have a natural body armor that give them greater Defense stats. So, an attack like that barely even gave Geodude little more than a tickle. (Ben explained. Ezekiel nods, understanding it better. However, Ben looked at the match more narrowly serious.)
Ben Jutsuku: (That said, there's no telling if Geodude knows any Rock-Type moves. Just be careful out there, Cody.) (Ben noted.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto, use Sand-Attack! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto flapped his wing as a pile of sand lands on Geodude's eyes. Brock gasped in surprise.)
Brock: Oh no, Geodude! (Brock yelled in worry.)
Brock's Geodude: | Ragh! My eyes! | (Geodude said, trying to wipe out all of the sand from his eyes.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Not so tough now, are you? | (A smirking Pidgeotto said. Then he took to the air.)
Brock: Geodude, use Rock Throw! (Brock commanded. Geodude threw a rock at Pidgeotto until…)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it quick! (Cody countered. Pidgeotto flew away from the Rock Throw.)
Cody Anderson: Time to use our new move. Pidgeotto use Steel Wing! (Cody commanded. Everyone was shocked to hear what Cody said to Pidgeotto to use. Pidgeotto's wings were glowing as they were covered in Steel-Type energy as he flew toward and lands the hit on Geodude as he screams in pain.)
Natsuko: Steel Wing? (Natsuko said speechless. Then she and the others turn to Akina.)
Natsuko: Was Steel Wing one of the TMs this man gave you and Cody in preparation for this Gym Battle. (Natsuko asked. Akina smiled and nods.)
Akina Sakata: Hm-hmph. Even though we told him that we had our Water-Type Starter Pokémon, we also knew that the Rock-Type in the Pewter Gym here were no easy targets either, so he gave us TM23 and TM47 of the Hoenn region. Cody and I have been training together all noon in order to perfect them as well as build up new levels in our Pokémon. (Akina said.)
Natsuko: I'm impressed. And here I thought you would use it as an excuse. (A sly smiling Natsuko commented.)
Akina Sakata: What'd you mean? (A confused Akina asked.)
Ezekiel: AH, I think what Natsuko is trying to say is that you seem to like Cody that you didn't mind spending time with him. (Ezekiel stated. Everyone in the sub-team excluding the shock looking Akina were impressed by how quick Ezekiel pick that up.)
Akina Sakata: What!? Don't be ridiculous!? (Akina denies it. Soon she turns to see the others staring blankly at her, not buying her act.)
Tatsumi: Sounds to me that you're not good at acting. (Tatsumi said honestly. An annoyed shaking Akina was fuming/growling quietly, despite how cute she looked.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto, Steel Wing once more. (Cody commanded off-screen. Everyone in the Charizards return to looking at the match as Pidgeotto made a direct hit at the screaming Geodude. Geodude recoiled back a few steps, so to say, from Pidgeotto. Geodude growls frustrated.)
Brock's Geodude: | How is this happening? I am a Rock-Type and I'm losing to a Flying-Type Pokémon. | (Geodude commented in absolute shock.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Sorry, dude, but if I'm gonna be one of the strongest Pokémon in the world then facing Pokémon that have the advantage over me is part of the challenges I will take and especially with my trainer Cody. Even though I attacked him as a wild Pokémon, he still accepted me into his group of friends. And I'm gonna make him proud by kicking your butt and your comrade's as well. | (Pidgeotto declared as he took to the air again. Brock looked focus on this match and thinking ways to defeat Cody's Pidgeotto.)
Brock: (Man, at first, I thought it wouldn't take much time to defeat that Pidgeotto of his, but Cody is something else. He seems to have experience with Pokémon even though he and the rest of his sub-team are new Trainers.) (Brock thought. Then a smile was made on his face.)
Brock: (Still, I gotta admit, this is one fun battle I'm having.) (Brock noted.)
Brock: Geodude, use Defense Curl! (Brock commanded. Geodude wrapped his arms around himself as a wave of energy moved cross his body, increasing his Defense. Cody gasped a bit in confusion.)
Cody Anderson: Defense Curl? Trying to build up his Defense. I need to keep up my advantage by lowering Geodude's accuracy. (Cody said to himself.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto, use Sand-Attack once more! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto prepared and launched another Sand-Attack at Geodude.)
Brock: Keep your eyes closed Geodude and use Defense Curl again. (Brock commanded. Geodude closed his eye and use Defense Curl to increase his Defense again as the Sand Attack made contact and a cloud of dust was created.)
Brock: Perfect! Rollout now! (Brock commanded.)
Cody Anderson: What!? (Cody said in shock. Inside the dust was a something in a sphere form rolling toward Pidgeotto as it was Geodude himself, much to Pidgeotto's shock as he got hit directly with a Rollout. Cody's Pidgeotto screeches in pain as it was a super effective move.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto! Are you alright! (Cody asked in concern. Despite the damage he received from Geodude's Rollout Pidgeotto got on his talons and nods to Cody, still able to fight. As Geodude turns and rolls toward Pidgeotto.)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it! Then use Quick Attack! (Cody commands. Pidgeotto took to the air and manages to dodge the Rollout on time.)
Brock: You're not gonna escape from our attack. Geodude use the pillars as a ramp while using Rollout. (Brock commanded. Geodude use Rollout once more as he rolls and flew off from a rock pillar slide into air.)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it again with Quick Attack! (Cody commands. Pidgeotto dodges the Rollout with Quick Attack in time. Geodude lands on the ground but rolls upon another rock pillar and aims for Pidgeotto, whom dodges it again using Quick Attack. This scenario happening again and again with neither side gaining the advantage. Cody looked seriously struggling on planning his next move.)
Cody Anderson: (Come on, Cody. There must be something Pidgeotto and I can do to defeat Geodude.) (Cody thought it carefully and quickly as he made a brainstorm.)
Cody Anderson: (Wait, maybe that could work? It's worth a try.) (Cody thought.)
Cody Anderson: Alright. Pidgeotto circle around Geodude using Quick Attack with rapid speed! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto whirls around Geodude, much to the Rock Pokémon's confusion. The same is said for his trainer Brock.)
Brock: What is he doing? (Brock said in confusion. Pidgeotto has flew around Geodude several time with such speed as wind starts to build up, creating a mini tornado as Geodude started to flow as he got entrapped.)
Chris McLean: It looks like Cody is thinking right outside of the box. Having his Pidgeotto fly around so that he can trap Brock's Geodude into a vortex of wind. I gotta admit, Cody knows his way in this game in both the show and in this Gym Battle. (Chris announced. Brock looked shocked in surprise by this tactic.)
Brock: Geodude, get out of there! (Brock commanded. Geodude try to obey his trainer's order but he couldn't get free from the wind vortex as Pidgeotto got behind Geodude.)
Cody Anderson: Use Gust! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto unleashed a gust of wind at Geodude directly. While it didn't have much effect on him, it made Geodude grunts painfully. Cody then got very fierce as he got a new order.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto, finish this with Steel Wing! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto got serious as he flies toward his opponent as has his wings cloaked with Steel Wing.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | RAAGGGHHHH! TAKE THIS! | (Pidgeotto screeched. Pidgeotto lands a direct hit at Geodude with Steel Wing. It was super effective as not only did the vortex of wind dispel but Geodude lands roughly at the ground while Pidgeotto lands on his feet with grace. After the dust cleared out, Geodude fainted. Brock looked shocked by this.)
Brock: Geodude! (Brock exclaimed.)
Chef Hatchet: Geodude is unable to battle. Which means Pidgeotto wins! (Chef announced. Geodude was retreated back into his Poke Ball by Brock as he smiled kindly at the Poke Ball.)
Brock: That was a great battle you fought, Geodude. You did great. Now get some rest. (Brock said. Then Cody and Pidgeotto happily celebrates their first won battle.)
Cody Anderson: Wow! We actually did it, Pidgeotto! You were great! You're the best Flying-Type Pokémon I ever had! (Cody said excitedly. Pidgeotto hums a bit.)
Cody's Pidgeotto: | Technically, I'm your only Flying-Type Pokémon, but thank you Cody. |
Brock: (Even though he got his Pokémon to learn a move that got him the advantage, that was very smart of him to build up all that wind using sheer speed itself.) (Brock thought. Brock brought forth another Poké Ball containing his ace as he let a smile appear on his face.)
Brock: Impressive display of trust and skill, Cody. I can see how you almost became one of the finalists in Total Drama World Tour. However, do you still believe that Flying Type of yours is a match with my last Pokémon! (Brock warned with a smirk.)

Natsuko: As much as I wanted to resist the urge, I just can't contain the excitement I have in my stomach. I am very aware of what Brock's ace Pokémon is and I can hardly wait to see how this battle will play out. (Natsuko stated. Then she smirked as she hums mildly.)
Natsuko: Believe it or not, but when I was nine, I took a test of courage by showing my classmates, especially the boys, as I got close to a family of snakes. Almost all of them nearly strike me with their venomous fangs, but I saw their reflexes and stopped them on their tracks. (Natsuko added, Natsuko laughs victoriously.)
Natsuko: I sure show those cowards. (Natsuko said.)

Brock: Let's go, Onix! (Brock said as he threw his Poke Ball in the air. Coming out from the Poke Ball as the light faded away revealed a fine gray tone giant snake with its body compose of boulders, black eyes and a long pillar on top of its head. He roared fiercely. Pidgeotto looked a bit frightful at the Pokémon before him. Everyone in the bleachers were amazed to see the Pokémon before them.)
Ben Jutsuku: Woah! That's Onix! (Ben said in disbelief. Then he brought out his Pokédex and scans the Pokémon.)
Ben's Pokédex: "Onix, the Rock Snake Pokémon. As it grows, the stone portions of it's body hardens to become similar to a diamond, but colored black and burrows at high speed in search of food." (The Pokédex stated. Ben sighed heavily.)
Ben Jutsuku: I was afraid of that. (Ben said grimly. Onix stares at Pidgeotto who was swearing a bit at how tall and intimidating.)
Brock's Onix: | What's wrong, little bird. Scared at facing an opponent bigger than you. | (Onix said, intimidating Pidgeotto, However, he got over it as Pidgeotto screeched bravely.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Says you! I ain't gonna be scared by a snake made of rocks. | (Pidgeotto countered.)
Cody Anderson: I knew what your ace was gonna be, Brock, but neither Pidgeotto nor I will yield that easy. Pidgeotto, take to the sky once more! (Cody commanded. Pidgeotto flew up in the air.)
Brock: Onix use Tackle! (Brock commanded. Onix roared as he charged toward Onix with his Tackle. However, Cody knew what was coming…)
Cody Anderson: Use Quick Attack to dodge it! (Cody commands. Pidgeotto barely managed to dodge the Tackle of Onix.)
Cody Anderson: Now use Steel Wing! (Cody commands. Pidgeotto charged up another Steel Wing and flew toward Onix.)
Brock: Onix, stay put and store all the energy you can gathered. (Brock commanded. Onix got into a defense position. Pidgeotto made a direct hit at Onix with Steel Wing. Onix roars painfully.)
Cody Anderson: Use Steel Wing, again! (Cody commands. Pidgeotto screeches as he makes another hit at Onix with Steel Wing. Onix roars painfully again. Everyone in the Braving Charizard were either worrisome or serious looking while Ezekiel looked confused by this tactic of Brock's.)
Ezekiel: I don't get it? Why is Onix taking those hits and doing nothing. Sure, I want Cody to win, but this doesn't seem to be much of a fierce battle, eh. If Brock doesn't do anything Onix will lose. (Ezekiel said in confusion. Brock overheard what Ezekiel said, but calmly stated.)
Brock: There's no need for that. I believe in Onix. He will not be defeated so easily. (Brock said confidently. Cody was thinking the reason to why Onix was in the defense until he notices how much he was glowing in a white aura as a realization came to his widen eyes face.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto get out of there! (Cody commands. However, his warning came too late as Brock gave the order.)
Brock: Now! Unleash your Bide! (Brock screamed.)
Brock's Onix: | TAKE THIS! | (Onix roared as he fired all of the stored energy at Pidgeotto directly in a white beam. Pidgeotto screeches painfully as he was being engulfed in a blast with all of the energy Onix gain from his attacks. Everyone in the gym covered their eyes from the blinding light. Once it died down, Pidgeotto, covered in battle damages, was falling straight to the ground.)
Cody Anderson: Pidgeotto, hang on! I'm coming! (Cody yelled. After he got on the field, Cody ran until he jumped and luckily catches Pidgeotto in his arms.)

Cody Anderson: Like I said on Total Drama Island, I'm pretty fast from all the practice I get from dodging spitballs. But my main priority was to help Pidgeotto. (Cody said with a sad look on his face. He then brought out his Poke Ball containing Pidgeotto.)
Cody Anderson: Man, I was so in the zone I didn't realize that Onix in real life have more stamina and endurance than the ones on the games. I gotta be more focus on the situations and what my opponents' moves are gonna be. I'm just glad Pidgeotto doesn't hate me for being overconfident. (Cody said in relief.)

(Using the confessional for the first time is Brock, sitting on the closed seat, as he stared at the camera with his usual smile.)
Brock: Hi there, audience from another world. Whether or not you already know of me, I'm Brock. And I just wanna let you know that Cody's Pidgeotto doesn't feel sore at all losing to my Onix. Most Pokémon choose not to obey their trainer due to the trainer's abuse at them or that they didn't live up to their expectations. However, I believe if Cody were to ever experience a Pokémon disobeying him, I'm sure he can find a way to restore his future Pokémon's trust and bond they have for him. (Brock said. Then he looked around the confessional in confusion.)
Brock: Okay, I hope you guys don't mind, but where did this confessional come from in the first place? (A confused Brock asked.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City]
Chef Hatchet: Pidgeotto is unable to battle. Onix wins this round. (Chef declared.)
Cody Anderson: There. It's gonna be alright now. You did great though. (Cody said calmly with a sad smile. Pidgeotto looked touched by how much care and concern his trainer has for him.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Ah… Thank you Cody. | (Pidgeotto said relieved. Cody brought forth Pidgeotto's Poké Ball.)
Cody Anderson: You get some well deserve rest, you've earned it. (Cody said. Then he beams Pidgeotto back into his Poke Ball and puts it away. Then Cody brought out another Poké Ball.)
Cody Anderson: This one here may have the disadvantage against your Rock/Ground-Type Pokémon but I believe in him. Let's Go, Pikachu! (Cody said. Coming out of the Poké Ball was none other than Pikachu who looked fierce and confident despite how big Onix is over the tiny Mouse Pokémon.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | I going to win this battle! | (Pikachu declared. Everyone in the Braving Charizard, except Akina, were shocked to see the choice in Pokémon Cody made. Brock looked unimpressed.)
Brock: An Electric-Type? You do realize that Electric-Types have no effect on Onix. (Brock retorted.)
Cody Anderson: Oh, trust me. I know, but I'm not gonna always relay on the Type advantage and plus Pikachu has a lot more courage and power within him. (Cody said. Brock smiled at Cody for having faith in his Pikachu. Both trainers and their Pokémon stare down as this is the last round.)
Brock: Onix, use Tackle! (Brock commanded. Onix roared as he charged in at Pikachu…)
Cody Anderson: Dodge it, using Quick Attack! (Cody commanded. Pikachu got powered up and was able to dodge Onix's Tackle right on time.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah! Now let's give it a Tail Whip! (Cody commanded confidently. A smirking Pikachu turns around and waggles his tail, lowering Onix's defense and irritating him a lot, evidenced by the tick mark on his forehead.)
Brock's Onix: | YOU! You dare mock me!? | (Onix muttered angrily. However, he needed to calm down or he would let an opening for his opponent.)
Cody Anderson: Pikachu, serve him another Tail Whip! (Cody commanded.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | You got it, Cody. | (Pikachu said as he uses Tail Whip once again, lowering his opponent's defenses.)
Brock: Onix use Tackle! (Brock commanded. Onix charged in toward Pikachu with Tackle.)
Cody Anderson: Don't worry Pikachu. Just use Quick Attack and dodge it! (Cody commanded. Brock intersect it as he said.)
Brock: Not this time! Now, Onix. Use Bind! (Brock commanded. Onix changed direction, much to Cody and Pikachu's shock, as he wraps Pikachu with his boulder tail as he got a hold of him.)
Brock: Got it! (A smiling Brock said.)
Cody Anderson: Uh no! Pikachu! (A worried Cody yelled. Pikachu groans, struggling to break free from the grip.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | I can't break free! | (Pikachu said strugglingly. Onix tightens his hold on Pikachu as Pikachu squeaks painfully. Cody's teammates looked worried for Cody and Pikachu.)
Ezekiel: Ah, man. Pikachu's stuck, eh! (Ezekiel said worriedly. Akina and her Pikachu, that got out of her Poke Ball, were covering their mouths in fright at what was happening in the battle.)
Akina Sakata: Pikachu is in a Bind from Onix. I don't how long he'll last? (A teary Akina exclaimed.)
Akina Sakata's Pikachu: | Hang in there! I know that you can do it! I know that you can beat that Onix. | (Akina's Pikachu yelled, cheering for Cody's Pikachu. Cody looked narrowly serious while being concern for his Pikachu.)
Cody Anderson: (Just hang in there, Pikachu. It won't be long until that Onix triggers our secret weapon.) (Cody thought. Onix roared mildly as he continues to strangle Pikachu who was squealing until electric bolts were made and spread across Onix's body. As a result, Onix roars painfully.)
Brock's Onix: | RAGGHHH! IT HURTS! WHY DOES IT HURT! I CAN'T MOVE! AHHHH! | (Onix roared. The Braving Charizard, Chris, and Brock were shockingly surprised by this turn of events.)
Brock: Oh, no. ONIX! (Brock yelled.)
Chris McLean: It looks like Cody's Pikachu has triggered his ability Static and gave Onix, a huge spark of paralysis and a massive amount of pain around its rocky body. (Chris announced.)
Ben Jutsuku: Looks like Cody's strategy has worked accordingly to his plan. (A serious Ben commented. Everyone but a confused Ezekiel, nodded in agreement.)
Ezekiel: Ah? I don't get it. Why did that Electric-Type Move get an effect on Onix if it's also a Ground-Type. (Ezekiel asked.)
Natsuko: It's not an actual move, Ezekiel. It's an ability, every Pokémon has different types of abilities with those with hidden abilities are considered rare. They can either boost the stats of your own Pokémon or can use their abilities to affect the conditions, moves and stats of the opposing Pokémon. For instance, Pikachu's ability is Static. Regardless of the type of its opponent, any of them that makes a physical move on him by contact in a certain amount of hits, it paralyzes the opposing Pokémon, making them slow or unable to move much. (Natsuko finished explaining. Ezekiel looked amazed and inspired by Natsuko's knowledge of abilities as he felt like he has been accustomed to what he has learned.)
Ezekiel: Wow, I feel very calm and interest in learning more about abilities and how they can help you and our Pokémon. Thank you, Natsuko. (A happy Ezekiel said. Natsuko made a happy smile on her face.)
Natsuko: My pleasure! (Natsuko exclaimed. Unknownst to Natsuko, Ezekiel had a strange feeling in his heart as he got to place his hand at its position as he looked at Natsuko's side, he saw how beautiful, smart, kind and caring she is. A little short after that Ezekiel was having dreamy eyes on her and a blush on his face as he has developed an affection for her.)

(Ezekiel was sitting in his confessional while he was calm and smiling with love in his eyes, much to Rattata and Charmander's confusion.)
Ezekiel: Ah, I can't help it. Natsuko is so pretty beautiful, smart, strong, kind and caring. I'm glad I'm not making the same mistake I did in the first episode of Total Drama Island about those sexist comments. I guess when I'm around Natsuko I feel calm and able to find the right words to use. (Ezekiel said. Ezekiel sighed lovingly.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | Call me crazy, but I think Ezekiel is in love with Natsuko. | (Charmander suggested in his dumbfound personality. Rattata looked bored at Charmander.)
Ezekiel's Rattata: | What was your first clue? When he sighed or stated the obvious. | (Rattata retorted. Charmander looked into thinking it long.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | Ahhhhhh… | (Charmander said in a long-repeated sentence. A few minutes passed. While Ezekiel left the confessional, Rattata was reading a book he left behind.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. Since I saw that dopey look on his face. | (Charmander finished, much to Rattata's surprise. Then he turns, searching for his trainer but to no avail.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | Hey, where is Ezekiel? | (Charmander asked. Rattata sighed annoyed and face palmed.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Boy, I'm sure glad the plan worked. | (Pikachu said. Then he moves away from Onix.)
Cody Anderson: Surprise to see that my Pikachu's Static is the major part of my ace in hole, Brock? Well here comes the middle part. Pikachu climb to the top of Onix's head using Quick Attack! (A smiling Cody commanded. Pikachu use Quick Attack as he ran instantaneously on Onix's body. Desperately to not lose, Brock quickly gave a command to Onix.)
Brock: Onix, shake that Pikachu off you! (Brock yelled. Onix desperately tries to shake off Pikachu, but while he was struggling to stay, Pikachu was holding on the horn of his opponent. Before Onix continue shaking, his paralysis took up once again as Onix paused and roars painfully.)
Cody Anderson: Now finish this with Iron Tail! (A confident Cody commanded, having founded the opening. Pikachu's tail glows into a stainless steel and spins and makes a direct hit at Onix by head with Iron Tail, which was super effective. Onix roars painfully. Pikachu lands safely on the ground on his feet as Onix felt on the battlefield into unconsciousness, completely fainted. Everyone from the Braving Charizard, the host, referee, and even Brock himself were speechless by what took place.)

Chef Hatchet: As hard as it is to believe it, Onix is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner. The victory goes to Cody Anderson of Winnipeg. (Chef announced. Cody cheered and plays air guitar as Pikachu, who looked confused at first, joined in by playing an air guitar. Cody sang mockingly.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah! We won, we won Pikachu! (Cody cheered.)
Cody's Pikachu: | That's right, Cody! Victory is ours! | (Pikachu said. Everyone in the Braving Charizard cheers happily and loudly for Cody and his team's hard-earned victory.)

Brock: Thank you for all of your hard work, Onix. You did your best. Now get some rest. (Brock said. After putting both Poké Balls containing his Pokémon into the Healing Machine, Brock walks toward Cody with his Pikachu now sitting on his trainer's shoulder.)
Brock: Cody, that was an exciting battle I had with you. I haven't had a battle like that since the last three challengers that came here before now. (Brock said. Cody had a feeling that Brock refer to Red, Leaf and Gary Oak. Brock brought out a grey boulder-like badge.)
Brock: This is the Boulder Badge. Congratulations. You and your team have earned it. (Brock said. Then in excitement and full confidence, Cody strikes a pose as he lifts the Boulder Badge in the air.)

I know it's too bad we can't enter the conference since I have learned it does exist but maybe I'll have a chance after this season is over and a year later. Still, we have a lot of work ahead of us. Right, guys. (Cody asked.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Yeah! | (Pidgeotto screeched.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | You bet we do! | (Pikachu said.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Don't you worry, Cody. We will give it our all into beating the gyms. | (Squirtle said. A touched Cody smiled gratefully.)
Cody Anderson: Ah! Thanks, guys. I know that together we will win this season and beat the Pokémon League. Although, I have to admit of one thing, Akina is truly a kind and helpful girl. And such a beautiful young woman too. (Cody said that last part with a blush and dopey smile.

Brock: Also, along with the reward of 1,386 Pokémon dollars, take this. This is the TM34: Bide. (Brock said as he handed Cody the money and the TM disc containing the Normal-Type move. Cody smiled at the rewards he has gain as he put them away in his bag. After Cody sat down on the bleachers and the Healing Machine finished recovering Onix and Geodude, Brock picked them up as he got back in his stage as he faces to the other trainers.)
Brock: Alright! Who's next? (Brock said. Next scene shows Akina being the next challenger as she had her Pidgey battling Geodude and manage to defeat Geodude. However, Pidgey, like Cody's Pidgeotto, was beaten by Onix and Akina's Squirtle managed to defeat Onix using Water Gun. Next was Ben, who defeat Geodude with Butterfree and while doing some damages on Onix, retreated his Butterfree and brought out Bulbasaur and defeated Onix using Magical Leaf. Fourth challenger, Tatsumi, chose to battle Onix with her Charmander. While it was hard intense battle, Tatsumi's Charmander manages to defeat Onix with Outrage while have her HP in the red. Fifth challenger, Natsuko, brought out her Bulbasaur to do battle with Onix. Much to the surprise of everyone, Onix did manage to do battle damage on Bulbasaur, but thankfully Natsuko's Bulbasaur managed to outwit Onix and defeat him with Vine Whip, hitting Geodude and swiping and throwing him to the ground. Now finally, Ezekiel, currently using his Rattata charged and use the Dark-Type move, Bite and lands a direct hit on Geodude who screamed painfully after his defenses were lowered by several Tail Whips, courtesy of Rattata.)
Brock's Geodude: | Ahhh… my head. | (Geodude groaned as he fainted.)
Chef Hatchet: Geodude is unable to battle. Rattata is the winner of this round. (Chef declared.)
Ezekiel: Oh, oh, oh! Nice work out there, Rattata. (Ezekiel said to his Pokémon. The Rat Pokémon smiled proudly.)
Ezekiel's Rattata: | I gotta admit. Although I got a bit of a pain in my mouth from biting that boulder with arms. That was truly exciting maneuvering his attacks and using Tail Whips to lower his defense stats. Come on, I'm ready for the last opponent! | (Rattata declared. Brock smiled at the closeness in Ezekiel and his Pokémon.)
Brock: Impressive, Ezekiel. You aren't as arrogant as you were in season 3 of Total Drama from what I was briefed about? (Brock commented. Ezekiel blushed, slightly ashamed of being reminded of the cause of his elimination from season 3 of Total Drama. Brock brought forth the Poké Ball containing his Onix.)
Brock: Now, let's see who will win this battle. Let's go, Onix! (Brock yelled. The Poke Ball sent out Onix from his Poke Ball as he roared in fierce determination.)
Brock's Onix: | I will not be beaten by a puny rat. | (Onix roared.)
Ezekiel's Rattata: | Who are you calling puny, puny. Oh great, I'm starting to talk like Charmander. | (Rattata said face-palming himself. After a few seconds of waiting Ezekiel made the first move.)
Ezekiel: Rattata, use Tail Whip and lower his defenses eh! (Ezekiel commanded. Rattata used Tail Whip, lowering Onix's defense.)
Brock: Onix, use Tackle! Full Throttle! (Brock commanded. With instant speed, Onix. Charged and Tackles Rattata, who screams painfully as he fell to the ground, completely fainted, much to Ezekiel's bulged eyed shock.)
Chef Hatchet: Rattata is unable to battle. Onix is the winner. (Chef announced. Ezekiel retreated his Rattata back into his Poke Ball. As much as he should feel sore of his loss, Ezekiel gave a small smile at his Poke Ball.)
Ezekiel: Thanks for all of your hard work and skills, Rattata. You're definitely a smart fella. You have shown me that strength isn't everything, so have some nice rest, eh. (Ezekiel said. After putting it away, Ezekiel brought out another Poke Ball.)
Ezekiel: (I may not know much, but I believe in the strength you have.) (Ezekiel thought with a serious look on his face. Then Ezekiel tosses the Poké Ball into the air.)
Ezekiel: Charmander, let's finish this eh! (Ezekiel declared. The Poke Ball opened and brought out. Ezekiel's Charmander who roared fiercely and confidently.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | Alright! Let's get this battle on the road as I'm anxious to take down my opponent. | (Charmander said, even after looking at Onix towering over him.)
Chef Hatchet: Let the final round… begin! (Chef yelled. Ezekiel and Brock glared at each other as they both simultaneously commanded.)
Ezekiel: Metal Claw! (Ezekiel yelled.)
Brock: Tackle! (Brock yelled. Charmander and Onix charged and lands their attack directly at each other with instant speed. Despite their sizes, both moves got a good amount of damages on the both of them, both were snarling from the amount of damage they had received.)
Ezekiel: Quickly, Charmander. Use Metal Claw again! (Ezekiel commanded. Charmander had his arms glow gray as he charges with Metal Claw.)
Brock: Onix, let's start storing up energy. (Brock ordered. Onix paused as her got hit by Charmander's Metal Claw. Ezekiel knew what move Brock is pulling as he gave another order.)
Ezekiel: Charmander, Metal Claw again! (Ezekiel commanded. Charmander roared as he gave Onix another taste of Metal Claw. Onix groans in pain as he was trying his best to hold on from the super effective move but was gathering a lot of energy from his opponent's attacks.)
Brock: (Strange? He's must've seen this a few times by now and yet he's using that same move while Onix is storing energy? Just what is Ezekiel up to? Surely, he doesn't plan on just attacking Onix.) (A serious looking Brock thought as he stared at the battle at hand.)
Ezekiel: Now, Charmander. Finish this with Metal Claw! (Ezekiel commanded. Charmander nods as he ran with his Metal Claw activated. Finally, Onix finished building up a lot of energy.)
Brock: Use Bide! (Brock commanded fiercely. Onix roared while being surrounded by the white aura.)
Brock's Onix: | Take this, puny lizard. SAY GOODNIGHT! | (Onix roared as he fired the energy at Charmander. Charmander look a bit shock until Ezekiel found his mark.)
Ezekiel: Perfect! Now, counter it with Flamethrower! (Ezekiel commanded. Everyone, even Brock, was shock by what Ezekiel just said. Charmander smirked as he opened his mouth and unleashed a steam of fire of his mouth as it got into a stalemate with the energy from Bide. The power clash of Flamethrower and Bide were so brightly, the Braving Charizard covered her eyes.)
Natsuko: I knew Ezekiel was training his Pokémon with the rest of us but how did he manage to train his Charmander enough to learn Flamethrower? (Natsuko asked. Both Akina and Cody looked at each other as they said.)
Cody & Akina: Ahhhh…. (They said in unison. Ben sighed as he finally confessed.)
Ben Jutsuku: Alright, alright. The truth is… Cody, Akina and I have been teaching Ezekiel everything about training Pokémon. (Ben said. Natsuko and Tatsumi gasped in mild surprise by this.)
Ben Jutsuku: Please let us explain. (Ben said as he gestured to Cody to step up as he took a breath and speaks.)
Cody Anderson: After I saw the look on Zeke's face after he told me what happened to him in Total Drama World Tour, I felt bad, so I started helping him train his Pokémon. Soon afterwards Akina and Ben saw what we were doing and wanted to help as well. Soon, Ezekiel finally got the ropes into training his Pokémon on his own. Plus, we didn't even know that Ezekiel's Charmander finally learned Flamethrower on their own. I swear we didn't… (Cody then paused as Tatsumi raised a hand to stop him on his tracks.)
Tatsumi: Don't worry, you didn't want Ezekiel to get eliminated first again so you help out a friend. (A serious Tatsumi stated with no anger or feeling betrayed.)
Natsuko: We understand the secrecy. After all, the sub-teams weren't yet formed before the first challenge commended. (A serious Natsuko said in understanding. Cody, Akina and Ben smiled at their teammates/friends' understanding. Back to the power struggle, Onix starts to get advantage while Charmander was struggling.)
Ezekiel's Charmander: | No! No! No! I won't… I won't quit! Ezekiel is counting on me and I won't let him down. You hear me? I WON'T LOSE! | (Charmander screamed as he was glowing in white and blue light. Ezekiel, Brock and everyone in the gym gasped in shock by what was happening.)
Ezekiel: Whoa, I've seen this happened before in Viridian Forest before, Charmander is… (Charmander's form changed as he got a horn on his head, a few inches taller, longer arms and a bigger flame on his tail. After the light faded away, Charmander finished evolving into a new Pokémon that was red and retaining the yellow belly but has blue eyes claws and sharped toenails. Charmeleon roared as his evolution cause the Flamethrower to boost more power and regain its stance in the clash.)
Ezekiel: Whoa! Charmander just… evolved eh? (Ezekiel said as he brought out his Pokédex and analyze his newly evolved Pokémon.)
Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Charmeleon, the Flame Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Charmander. When it swings its tail, it elevates the temperature to unbearably high levels before it attacks with razor claws and won't stop until the enemy is defeated." (The Pokédex stated.)
Brock's Onix: | Just because you have evolved it doesn't mean you're stronger than me. You are an arrogant muscle headed Pokémon. You have the disadvantage against me! GIVE UP! | (Onix roared.)
Ezekiel's Charmeleon: | LIKE HELL I WILL! I WILL NEVER… GIVE UPPP! | (Charmeleon roared as his Flamethrower overpowers Onix's Bide. Charmeleon's Flamethrower engulfs the shocked Onix as he got a direct hit at the screaming Onix. Smoke were formed from the outcome of the attack as Charmeleon moved a few distance away while covering himself from the smoke. Once it cleared, Onix was laying on the ground, fainted.)
Brock: Onix? (Brock said shocked by what happened.)
Chris McLean: Whoa, Zeke actually… won? (A shocked Chris said.)
Chef Hatchet: Onix is unable to battle. Charmeleon is the winner. The victory goes to Ezekiel Landwirt of Memramcook! (Chef declared. Ezekiel smiled at the victory he and his Pokémon have earned. Ezekiel got on the field as he hugs his Flame Pokémon who smiled happily at his trainer.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Wow! We won! We actually won, eh! Isn't that great Charmeleon! (Ezekiel said excitedly.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | Yeah! I'm proud that we made it through it, Ezekiel. You're a good trainer eh. | (Charmeleon remarks with Ezekiel's phrase. Brock, after retreating his Onix to his Poké Ball, approach Ezekiel.)
Brock: Ezekiel, that was a good and intensive battle you and your team got out there. You have power and courage, all while having enough knowledge to take the risk. For coming this far, I reward with this Boulder Badge. (Brock said. Ezekiel grabbed his hard-earned gym badge.)
Ezekiel Lanwirt: Yeah! I just earned a Boulder Badge eh! (Ezekiel declared. The rest of his Pokémon cheer in celebration. The Braving Charizard were glad that Ezekiel won, along with the fact that all of them can finally advance to the next city. Chris faces the camera.)
Chris McLean: Wow. What a day this has been. Two days in Kanto down, several more to go. Who will be the next sub-team to win? Who will be the first to partake in the elimination battle? And who will have the next evolution to occur in the gym battle. Find out more in the next episode of… Total… Drama… Pokémon… ADVENTURE! (Chris exclaimed.)

[Preview]
Daisuke Umizawa: Next time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure: Legends of the Five Regions. (Daisuke announced.)
Anne Maria: Wow, swim captain. I gotta admit. First day on set and already you got a girl line up on you. (Anne Maria praised.)
Daisuke Umizawa: What are you talking about Anne Maria? (A confused Daisuke replied.)
Heather Hamilton: Don't be so dense swimmer. Doll face here is talking about how you and that Misty girl are crushing on each other. (Heather answers.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Wait a minute what!? (Daisuke gasped in shock.)
Anne Maria: Okay, first Jo kept calling me spray can and now YOU'RE INSULTING ME!? (Anne Maria screeched.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on there. I think you girls are overacting on the recent attentions I've been giving to Misty lately. (Daisuke countered gently.)
Noah Thomas: No, I'm pretty sure they got the message to your feelings for Misty. (Noah responded.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Ah, it sounds to me that you already know who this Misty is, Noah? (Ezekiel added in suspicion.)
Noah Thomas: What was your first clue, Zeke? (Noah replied plainly.)
Anne Maria: Hey, if you have any info on that girl, lay it on us sting bean. (Anne Maria demanded.)
Noah Thomas: I can't disclose that information to any of you or rest I'll get disqualify Miss Jersey Shore. (Anne Maria growls angrily.)
Akina Sakata: Guys! Stop it! (Akina shouted with a commanding tone.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Akina's right! We're a team. We need to work together. (Daisuke added.)
Heather Hamilton: Yeah right. You go and agree with the enemy and say that we're a team. (Heather stated sarcastically.)
Tatsumi: THAT'S ENOUGH! (Tatsumi screamed. Everyone gulped at the mighty shout they received.)

Heather Hamilton: Umizawa's right! We need to work together and what I say goes as team leader. (Heather advised.)
Anne Maria: Hey! Who died and made you leader? (Anne Maria retorted.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Dear lord and Arceus please help us. (Daisuke prayed.)
Noah Thomas: Ahem. (Noah agreed.)
Finally, after taking time to read, rewrite, adding new info into my database, and timing, I have finished the second episode/chapter of this series. I apologize for taking so long because I had college, my other fanfic series, and exercises, I had gotten enough time to get back to work. I promise to do my best to find the time to make so that I will add more episodes but just be patient. Today this episode is referred to as the challenge episode, the next episode will be a filler episode aside from seeing the loser sub-team in their gym battles, it will give the chance for the winners to venture to the next city but mainly on the journey part of it. So, how did you think of Sosuke's Butterfree's history when it was a younger Caterpie and having those so-called Trainers just used him and tossed him out when he didn't evolve. I know, I know, it's a horrible thing to describe but when you think about that's one of the few similarities the Pokémon World and our world have in common. Because while there are a lot of good things in the Pokémon World, there are some things that can make it seem like a cruel, cruel world of heartless, power hungry and greedy Trainers and people who mistreated Pokémon like that. Hopefully, with Team Kanto or rather, the Braving Charizard and the Raging Gyarados now in Kanto and having somewhat more humane personalities will make sure to correct those mistakes, catch new Pokémon and bond with each other.
Also, yeah for those of you who have begun to notice Cody and Akina are developing feelings for each other. True, Akina is a Cody fan but the only difference between her and Sierra is that she is sane. And there's the matter to the flashback I did on her past, even if it was brief. Let's just due to her natural beauty and kind caring nature, she had a crush once in her hometown but some thugs around her age wanted her and he had to defend her. I'll leave it at that and will continue on future episodes. Don't worry I will ensure some flashback pasts will be shown and that new pairings will be born for the OCs I have made. Plus, I am glad that I am pairing Daisuke with Misty, it was the first thing that came out of my mind.
I am gonna do confessionals with Gym Leaders and notable natives of the Pokémon World. If there are any readers who are Pokémon fans with Fakemon you created, let's discuss about debuting them in a future season/series taking place in the TDP universe/multiverse. All I'm asking is for a chance to further extend more Mega Evolutions and to complete your Fakemon Pokédexes so that fans and someday the Pokémon Inc will take notice and give you the recognitions you so richly deserve.
Kanto Pokédex:
Number of Pokémon Seen: 31
Number of Pokémon Caught: 29
One more thing to announce, while I will try my best to write the next chapter/episode, I am obliged to tell you all that I am currently attempting classes in university so I am gonna try to make some time to work on it and adding all the intel in regards of the new Pokémon intro as my episodes for this series will be between 50 to 70 pages but I have gone to that latter number yet so we'll see since there will be elimination battles in the future. So, see ya later! And please keep on not only reading the series but take your time to see the good I am truly to do with it and will also been out scouting for Mega Evolution forms as well.
