Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 003 – Moonlight Clefairy
[Kanto Region – Pokémon Nation] [Pokémon World]
[Pokémon Center, Kanto Route 3 – Kanto] [August 12th, 2017]
(The recap from yesterday afternoon shows the Braving Charizard, venturing Route 3. Tatsumi defeats a Bug Catcher, a Lass and an arrogant Youngster Trainer with no mercy but with respect to their opponents despite their initial fright. Natsuko, not wanting to be outdone by her comrade, decided to take down the remaining Bug Catchers with only her Bulbasaur. Ben captures a wild Mankey and Sandshrew.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Last time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure! After they all won both the challenge and their first gym battle, the Braving Charizard headed off to Route 3 and face off with the trainers and gain more EXP to keep their lead! (Chris narrated. Ezekiel, Akina, Cody and Ben did their fair share of battles with trainers and wild Pokémon as well and were increasing the EXP of their teams. Akina managed to capture a Spearow and a Jigglypuff. Cody cheered and congratulated her with a hug, but soon broke it off awkwardly. However, they were blushing while letting smiles appear on their faces.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Oh, yeah. I almost forgot to mention, Akina managed to catch two new Pokémon Jigglypuff and Spearow. Along with the catches, the bond between Akina and Cody continues to grow despite the awkwardness that came with it. And back in Pewter City, The Raging Gyarados are hard at work training to boost up their levels and face their gym battle! (Chris narrated. Back in Pewter City, Heather was training with Kayoko, Noah was training with Daisuke and all the while Anne Maria was busy applying hair spray on herself and her Bulbasaur. At a distance, Misty shook her head in disapproval at Anne Maria's lack of focus and dedication.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Ah…? Well, almost everyone! (Chris added. In Viridian Forest, several Beedrill were laying on the ground unconscious and covered in soot, due to Alejandro and his Charmander along with his Spearow and Nidoran. The other reason was to search for the Mew Immunity Statue but to no avail. Alejandro hit the ground with his fist in frustration.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): By a surprising development, Alejandro did not get stinged alive. As a matter of fact, he was dominating the Beedrill and every wild Pokémon in the notorious Viridian Forest! While he couldn't get a Mew Idol, he did manage to achieve a consolation prize. An evolving Pokémon! (Chris narrated. However, that silence wasn't long as Charmander glows in white light and engulfed in a blue energy field, evolving into a Charmeleon before the smirking Alejandro's eyes. Back to Route 4, the Braving Charizard were already inside the Pokémon Center. After healing their Pokémon and renting two rooms to rest for the night, the Braving Charizards were getting ready to sleep.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Since there won't be a challenge until both teams reach Cerulean City, let's sit back and see what the two separate sub-teams' journey to their next destination for their second gym battle! (Chris narrated. At the girls' room, Akina, with her hair down, was brushing it while she hums happily but later blushes lovingly remembering the short times, she and Cody interacted such as their first night in the Pokémon Center at Viridian City, an injured Cody reassuring Akina that he is fine and determine to catch his then-wild Pidgeotto and how it was thanks to Akina, Cody set on his current attire. Akina hums longer.)
Natsuko: Thinking about Cody again? (Akina with her eyes widen as big plates and turns to a smirking Natsuko in her sleeping wear of a lavender sleeveless t-shirt and a black speedo. Currently, Akina wear a sleeveless blue pajama with a red ribbon on the chest. Akina quickly tries her best to deny her growing feelings.)
Akina Sakata: I-I-I don't know w-what you're talking about!? (An awkward Akina barked cutely. Coming out of the shower, was a towel covered Tatsumi who had covered her hair with a towel as well.)
Tatsumi: Now, now, ladies. Let's try not to beckon amongst ourselves. (Tatsumi reassures. Tatsumi was drying herself and changing into her undergarment and pajamas as she continues.)
Tatsumi: Perhaps tomorrow we should celebrate our team's first victory over the Raging Gyarados. Especially since we couldn't have advance to this point without the aid of Ezekiel and his Charmeleon! (Tatsumi added. Natsuko smiled at the thought of Ezekiel.)

(Natsuko was in the confessional with her Bulbasaur. Natsuko was smiling silly with blushes on her cheeks. Bulbasaur notice this.)
Natsuko's Bulbasaur: | Ah, Natsuko? Are you okay? Hello?! | (Bulbasaur asked. Natsuko wasn't moved and still maintain her expression. Bulbasaur extended her vine and shook her trainer's hand and then slightly tickling Natsuko by the nose. It had finally gotten Natsuko's attention as she gasps in mild surprise.)
Natsuko: Whoa! What happened!? (An astonished Natsuko responded. Then looking at the camera and her surroundings, she realized her recent trance.)
Natsuko: Oh no! I was in another black out after hearing Ezekiel's name!? (Natsuko asked.)
Natsuko's Bulbasaur: | Yes! Yes, you were! | (Bulbasaur answers. Natsuko sighs while face palming on herself.)
Natsuko: Why must this happened to me whenever I have a crush on a boy I like! (Natsuko said to herself and, by extend, the viewers.)

[Pokémon Center, Kanto Route 3 – Kanto]
Akina Sakata: You know, it is still a surprise, but who would've thought Ezekiel managed to win his first gym battle despite being only a beginner. (Akina proclaimed in admiration. Natsuko smiled with her eyes closed.)
Natsuko: Well, technically speaking, we're all beginner Trainers! Despite his "notorious" history of being voted off first, Ezekiel is starting to become more humble and understanding to be a great asset of the team! (Natsuko replied. Tatsumi finished drying and wears her blue pajamas with a Poké Ball logo on the left side of the shirt's chest and having orange fire designs on it.)
Tatsumi: Of course, Natsuko. Aside of that sexist comment he made in Total Drama Island, Ezekiel is a good man and a valuable teammate! We should celebrate with the boys tomorrow. (Tatsumi said. Akina smiled at the thought.)
Akina Sakata: That does sound like a reasonable and brilliant plan. (Akina responded. Then she got serious.)
Akina Sakata: Still I don't think we should spend too much time. We don't know if all members of the Gyarados will beat the Gym Battle. (Akina suggested. A serious smiling Tatsumi nodded.)
Tatsumi: Don't lose courage, Akina. I am fully awaited of that possibility. However, tomorrow is not a day for a challenge, so we got time for both the festivities and the journey to Cerulean. Though I am reluctant to admit that Natsuko and I are still the only ones with one Pokémon in our parties. (An embarrassed Tatsumi stated. Akina managed, if barely, to prevent herself from giggling.)
Akina Sakata: I'm sure the next Pokémon we'll encounter you will be able to add it to your party. And speaking of parties, perhaps we should throw a party after all. It will also allow us to show Ezekiel and the other boys our gratitude for beating Brock and winning the challenge! (Akina said all of that after reassuring her new friend. Still, Tatsumi smiled, for getting reassured and having drawn a supporter for her plan.)
Tatsumi: Well spoken, Akina. How bout it, Natsuko? (Tatsumi asked. However, Natsuko was facing at the wall between theirs and the boys' room. After a moment of silence, Natsuko finally spoke.)
Natsuko: I wonder… about Ezekiel and the boys! (Natsuko said. The scene shifts to a sit up positioned Ezekiel in a black t-shirt and pajama pants in green and white, staring in space with a surprise expression.)
Natsuko (Voice-Over): I wonder how they must be doing after all that's happened today? (Natsuko wondered.)
[Opening 2 – The Beginning]
Ezekiel Landwirt: (I still can't believe it. I won? I actually won a challenge and beat the Gym Leader on my first time! I know I already told myself that this wasn't a dream, but it's… still hard to believe it, eh.) (Ezekiel said in his thoughts. Cody got out of the bathroom, drying his wet brown hair with a towel after cleaning himself out. Currently his sleeping attire was that of a white t-shirt and yellow shorts. Ben, wearing a green set of pajamas, was on his bed and checking the current levels, stats and moves of his Pokémon while they were resting in their Poké Balls and the Pokédex put on top of the drawers next to their beds. So far, Bulbasaur learned Sleep Powder, Butterfree learned Stun Spore, Beedrill learned Focus Energy, Mankey learned Seismic Toss and Sandshrew learned Poison Sting. Ben had a small grin at these accomplishments as Cody sighs kindly.)
Cody Anderson: Man! What a day! Winning our Boulder Badges, battling trainer after trainers and wild Pokémon and having to rest in this Pokémon Center before we go into Mt. Moon. I can't wait for tomorrow! (Cody exclaimed. Ben looked curious but shrugged.)
Ben Jutsuku: We've been travelling all afternoon to get to the Pokémon Center as nightfall approached. I'm glad our Pokémon did gain more EXP on the way here. (Ben proclaimed being as modest as possible. The smile on Cody's face pretty much serves as a way that he agrees. Cody turns to Ezekiel.)
Cody Anderson: Hey, Zeke! What about you? (Cody asked. However, Ezekiel was still in his trance while thinking about the future and possibilities of winning or losing. All of this was all new for him to experience despite the fact that he has competed for two seasons. Ezekiel frowned.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: (How long will this last? Will I cost my team the challenge or win it for them? I'm not sure…) (Before his thought could finished his sentence, Cody's voice managed to reach Ezekiel.)
Cody Anderson: Hey! Ezekiel!? (Cody asked in confusion. Ezekiel got out of his thoughts and turns to face his confused friends looking at him with concern.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Uh? W-What? Oh, sorry guys! I wasn't paying attention, eh? (Ezekiel confessed. Cody and Ben waved if off, not irritated at all.)
Cody Anderson: Can't say I blame you. This is after all your first ever success in the competition. (Cody exclaimed. The he had his concern look back.)
Cody Anderson: Still, I get the feeling that you're worried about something? (Cody wondered.)
Ben Jutsuku: You know, I was thinking the same thing. What's wrong, Ezekiel? (Ben asked. Ezekiel sighed but had a small smile, knowing that he couldn't hide from his first ever acquired friends.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Well, I've been worried. What if we lose the next challenge, what if I'm the one who will cost us the win! What if- (Before Ezekiel could finish his sentence, Ben rose his hand in a placating gesture.)
Ben Jutsuku: Enough. (Ben replied gently. Ezekiel paused.)
Ben Jutsuku: Ezekiel, there's no need for you to worry about the consequences and little details every now and then. Though, you do have every right to worry on occasions, but that's only natural. (Ben said all of that in a wise sage tone.)
Cody Anderson: Ben's right, Zeke. It is okay to worry sometimes, but it does you no good to be worrying all the time. True, we did win our first challenge, but who's to say we might or might not win the next one. You need to learn to balance your concerns and your chill time. (Cody said. Ezekiel got into thinking over what the guys have just spoke to them. True, there were worries if they would win or lose a challenge, but having experience the time with Cody, Ben, his Pokémon, and the rest of the Braving Charizard, has helped him realized that they weren't ordering him to simply win a large sum of money. It was about to help Ezekiel experience a new concept that he barely got to have and be a part of. Teamwork! Compare to what his dad told him of girls, Ezekiel decided to accept that most, if not all, girls and women weren't helpless and fragile as he was taught/raised to believe. Not to mentioned how every time he thought of Natsuko getting ready to battle with her Pokémon and how she would make a big, battle ready, confident smirk on her face, it had made him blush crazy with a dopey smile. Out of sudden, Ezekiel's heartbeats were increasing. Thankfully, Ezekiel pulled himself together as all of his worries were evaporated.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: You're right, guys! In this game, there will always been some wins and losses. Winning isn't everything. It's how you grow as a Trainer and as a person with your Pokémon that matters. I promise to do my best for the team and that I will work hard to be as strong as you two, eh! (Ezekiel finished. Cody and Ben looked surprised by this. However, it didn't last as Cody and Ben turn their blank stare into proud smirks.)
Cody Anderson: Nice way to put it like that Ezekiel! One of these days, I look forward to when you and I will have a match to prove which of us will be the strongest Trainer! (Cody declared while praising his friend. Ezekiel had a proud smile as well. Ben yawned.)
Ben Jutsuku: Well, best of luck to all three of us. I'm going to bed now. (Ben commented. After getting to bed and turning off the lights, Ezekiel, Cody and Ben went to sleep as the scene shifts to the exterior of the Pokémon Center.)
[Kanto Route 3 – Kanto] [August 13th, 2017]
(Morning came and after getting a quick shower and changing into their current attires. Ben, Ezekiel and Cody looked around for the girls of their team. After knocking on their door to no avail, they went to ask Nurse Joy for their whereabouts. She told them that they were outside the Center where they went to after getting up at 6 o'clock. Heading to the direction where the girls are, the boys were wondering in confusion of what they might be up to. However, their train of thoughts were cut by the surprising sound of party blowers and confetti.)
Akina, Natsuko & Tatsumi: SURPRISE! (They cheered in unison. The boys looked surprised at the setup their female teammates have put together. On the right table was a full set of meals such as pancakes, rice, scramble eggs, Kantonian bacon, and muffins and on the left table was a white frosted chocolate cake with three colored frostings in the boys' names. The bottom layer had Ben's name in green, the middle layer had Cody's name in blue and the top layer had Ezekiel's name in red. One by one the girls put party hats on the boys. Akina put one on Cody, Natsuko put on Ezekiel's, and Tatsumi put on Ben's.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Ah…? What is all of this, eh? (A confused Ezekiel asked.)
Natsuko: Today we are having a breakfast party, of course! (Natsuko was the one who answered.)
Akina Sakata: Yeah! It's to celebrate our team's first victory and in your honor. All of you guys! (Akina stated. The boys looked surprised yet touched by this.)
Ben Jutsuku: Is this true? (Ben asked. Tatsumi nodded.)
Tatsumi: Of course! It's the least we could do for helping us win the challenge and to give a proper thanks to Ezekiel for defeating Brock with his Charmander that evolved into Charmeleon! We couldn't gotta to this point without him! (Tatsumi proclaim with pride and honesty.)

(Ezekiel was sitting on his seat in his confessional with his Charmeleon and Rattata.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: I can't believe the girls put together this party for the guys and that includes me!? (Ezekiel exclaimed in surprise.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | Why? | (Charmeleon wondered.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Well, I guess it's good to know that I am being accepted for who I truly am than being considered a sexist arrogant nuisance for all my life. Like seeing the pancakes with the sweetest berry jam on the side, sizzling bacon, (Sob) golden cooked eggs… (Tear drops) and the most delicious looking cake with my name on it! (A crying Ezekiel finished before commencing with his sobbing. Rattata and Charmeleon widen their eyes in mild shock.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | Awkward! | (Charmeleon muttered. Rattata scratched his chin for a bit.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | Maybe so but remember this is a whole new experience for our trainer. We should encourage him to adapt to it and help shape his character! | (Rattata said. Charmeleon nods.)

[Kanto Route 3 – Kanto]
(Once the Braving Charizard got their plates filled with food, alongside with their Pokémon coming out and eating their Pokémon Food, they sat down and were enjoying a good quiet breakfast. Of course, the Japanese members were eating their meals with chopsticks while Cody was using a knife and fork to eat his eggs and bacon while Ezekiel pout some wild berry jam on his pancakes and devouring his edible meal with big bites. Afterwards, Ezekiel's stomach was having an indigestion. Natsuko opened an eye to see what was happening to the groaning Ezekiel. Using her chopsticks, Natsuko grabbed a piece of a pink colored fish from a plate, and slowly moved it to the confused Ezekiel's face. Everyone turns their attention at the scene before them.)
Natsuko: Here. (Natsuko offered. Ezekiel blinked.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Huh? What's this? (Ezekiel asked.)
Natsuko: It's called Kamaboko. Or a fish cake if you want to say it like that. It is a type of curing food for the body or parts of it. Such as your stomach's indigestion for example. (Natsuko explained. Once his indigestion continued to rage on, Ezekiel nodded and opened his mouth as Natsuko moved it there and let go of the kamaboko piece, letting Ezekiel chewing it slowly. Thought, he had to admit, it was a strange, raw taste, Ezekiel was able to tolerant it as he finished chewing and shallowing it. Slowly, Ezekiel's indigestion was coming to an end as the rumbling ceased its rapid activity and kept to a minimum. Natsuko made a satisfying smile creep on her face.)
Natsuko: So, how does it taste? (A happy Natsuko asked. Ezekiel chuckled kindly.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: I'll admit, I never taste this kind of fish before, but it wasn't half-bad. (Ezekiel admits. Natsuko kept that big smile on her face while closing her eyes as she was surprisingly able to teach Ezekiel on how to properly use the chopsticks and eating another piece of kamaboko. Natsuko was proud of Ezekiel on achieving some level of etiquettes in eating. Cody and Ben were somewhat proud and impressed with Ezekiel catching a girl's attention who happens to be one of the most skilled fighters. Cody grabbed another piece of cake and eats it with such fast pace. Akina looked surprised.)
Akina Sakata: Whoa, slow down, Cody. The food won't be going away, and we got time to spend. (Akina said, reassuring him.)
Cody Anderson: Oh, sorry about that. I just can't help it. I just love sweets like candy and cake so much. I can't get enough of the stuff. (Cody admits before resuming his feast. Sosuke laughed softly with a sweat drop.)
Ben Jutsuku: I suppose those are true words coming from the mouth of a sugar lover! (Ben remarked. Tatsumi giggled happily at that.)
Tatsumi: Too true, Ben. I couldn't put it in better words. (Tatsumi said before giving the Jutsuku boy a playful wink, much to his blushing gasp.)

(Ben was in his confessional with his Butterfree and Bulbasaur who looked surprise by the blushes on their Trainer's face.)
Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree: | Ah, Ben? | (A confused Butterfree responded.)
Ben Jutsuku: Sorry, I-I can't help but feel like this? I'm not sure if it's love but… whenever I'm near Tatsumi. It makes me feel pleasant, relax, caring and dedicated. (Ben said all of that while smiling at the thought of her.)
Ben Jutsuku's Bulbasaur: | Well, Ben. There's no shame in admitting that we have developed affections with that one special person. | (Bulbasaur proclaimed. Butterfree rose a disbelief brow.)
Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree: | How would you know? You aren't seeing anyone, and neither am I! | (Butterfree remarked. Bulbasaur widen his eyes in realization.)
Ben Jutsuku's Bulbasaur: | Ah! Well that is a very good statement you brought up there. | (Bulbasaur admits.)

[Kanto Route 3 – Kanto]
(While the Trainers were enjoying their celebratory breakfast with taste, their Pokémon were also enjoying and conversing with each other. Tatsumi's Charmander finished her bowl and turns to Charmeleon after he finished gobbling up his Pokémon food after putting the bowl down.)
Tatsumi's Charmander: | Congratulations, Charmeleon, for becoming the first of us starters to evolve. | (Charmander commented kindly and with an honorable tone like her Trainer's. After Charmeleon finished shallowing every drop of food, he sighed happily and waved it off kindly.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | Nah, it was nothing! I just did that for two reasons, eh! One, to show my growing strength to all those powerful Pokémon that we'll be facing and two, because Ezekiel was counting on me, and I couldn't let him down. | (Charmeleon uttered. Despite the bragging parts, Charmander and the rest of the Pokémon were proud and admiring the kind, honest and caring words he said about him and his Trainer. Charmeleon turns to his other partner in Ezekiel's party.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | Still, I couldn't have done it without your help, Rattata! You sure show those two Rock-Types a thing or two about fighting, eh! | (Charmeleon cheered. Rattata smiled a bit at this praise.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | Well… thanks for the nice praise, muscle-flames. However, it was actually one Pokémon I took down. It was Onix who took me down afterwards. | (Rattata commented. Cody's Squirtle shook his head with a smile.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | But when you think about it, you did manage to injure Onix a considerable amount of HP. | (Cody's Squirtle added.)
Natsuko's Bulbasaur: | Don't feel ashamed, Rattata. You losing to Onix on the second battle happened due to your intense battle with Geodude. I wouldn't call that a loss but a lesson to improve and increase your performance for your future battles. | (Natsuko's Bulbasaur explained.)
Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree: | Of course! It's like Squirtle and Bulbasaur said, you did a lot out there. Be proud of the accomplishment and you achieved at the Pewter Gym. We should all be happy and grateful that we have true Trainers who care and treat us as equals than simple tools for battle. | (Ben's Butterfree complied. Ever since travelling with Ben, Butterfree had not only began to trust him more and regaining the good caring nature he had been denied for so long, but he is becoming one of the wisest, courageous and considerate Pokémon in his team and some of the other Pokémon were also looking up to him such as Akina's Butterfree.)
Akina Sakata's Butterfree: | Yay! You go, big brother! | (Akina's Butterfree cheered while paying honorifics. Ben's Butterfree had a sweat drop on his head while Ezekiel's Charmeleon, Cody's Pikachu, Akina's Squirtle and newly caught Jigglypuff, Ben's new additional Mankey and Sandshrew and Cody's Pidgeotto looked confused by this and Ben's Beedrill and Bulbasaur, Natsuko's Bulbasaur, Tatsumi's Charmander, Akina's Pikachu and Pidgey, Ezekiel's Rattata and Cody's Pikachu giggled kindly.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Brother? I'm not really sure if you two are related? | (Cody's Pikachu replied. Beedrill shook her head.)
Ben Jutsuku's Beedrill: | True, they aren't real brothers, but it is a common trait among the Caterpie line to not only view their experienced brethren but to build kinship with the stronger Caterpie even after they have fully evolved. | (Ben's Beedrill explains. An illustration shows a lonely Caterpie without its swarm around, being preyed on by bigger and bird-like Pokémon until another, yet stronger Caterpie came and tackles the Pidgey and Spearow. The younger Caterpie looked in awestruck as the older Caterpie led it to safety.)
Ben Jutsuku's Beedrill (Voice-Over): | Since the Caterpie and the Weedle families pre-evolves are the weakest of any Bug-Type Pokémon, they are always seen the easiest targets for stronger Pokémon. The younger Caterpie have to strive even harder to catch up or they would fall victim to those stronger Pokémon. Unfortunately, if any Caterpie show even a little sign of weakness, the rest of its swarm will abandon it and leave any Caterpie to their fates at the stronger Pokémon they encounter. However, that is not the case for all due to the valiant efforts of the stronger, gifted Caterpie who ventured on their own and protect their younger kin. | (Beedrill said. After being rejected by its swarm, the younger Caterpie stayed with the other Caterpie, watching and training with him, gathering as much food as possible to carry and using various ways with their moves.)
Ben Jutsuku's Beedrill (Voice-Over): | Feeling indebted to the older Caterpie, the younger Caterpie will gravitate to the stronger Caterpie in the hopes to gain that kind of power they possess. And from all the time they have spent learning under them, the younger Caterpie will have formed a bond that transparent to that of siblinghood! | (Beedrill added. The scene shows the younger Caterpie taking down a wild Spearow which fainted. The older Caterpie nodded in acknowledge and the younger Caterpie smiles, somewhat, at the strength and skills it had achieved thanks to his "brother's" tutelage and comradeship. The illustration ended. Akina's Butterfree smiles with dazzles and lights surrounding him. Ben's Butterfree felt awkward that the other Butterfree was now acknowledging him as a big brother.)
Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree: | O…kay? You know you don't have to call me that just because we were once Caterpie. We have only known each other for a day. | (Ben's Butterfree assured. Akina's Butterfree nodded.)
Akina Sakata's Butterfree: | Right! Whatever you say, big brother! | (Akina's Butterfree replied casually. Ben's Butterfree sighed. Jigglypuff giggled kindly. Sandshrew chuckled a bit while Mankey laughed.)
Ben Jutsuku's Mankey: | We may be the new guys here, but at least these guys here are not only more interesting, but strong and accepting of a knucklehead like me. | (Mankey exclaimed with closed eyes while eating his Pokémon Food and a banana.)
Ben Jutsuku's Sandshrew: | Yeah! You and I were having a confrontation, but after Ben and his friends came along and battle us, he gave us a chance to go with him and grow to be stronger than we are. I'm actually glad we don't have to fight over food anymore. It's scary business! | (Sandshrew expressed but with a hint of shyness.)
Ben Jutsuku's Mankey: | Ha! Ha! Don't be so down a notch, ground-mouse! It wasn't like I was gonna fight to the death for those Oran Berries you had back on your old turf! | (Mankey ignorantly stated without being serious about it. Every Pokémon, including Sandshrew widen their shock in silence mute.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Awkward. | (Cody's Pidgeotto muttered, breaking the silence.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | Wow, are conversations with each other usually like this? | (Jigglypuff asked. Since she was new to the group and a latest addition to Akina's party, she was still shy but was greatly decreasing it and getting along with the rest of the Pokémon.)
Akina Sakata's Squirtle: | More or less, but you'll get used to it. | (Akina's Squirtle commented. After seeing the happy smiles and kind laughter being shared in the group, Jigglypuff can't help but let a warm smile appear on her face. Back to the Trainers, they were almost done with breakfast. Tatsumi sighed peacefully.)
Tatsumi: Ah, such a beautiful morning. It's so relaxing. (Tatsumi exclaimed. Ezekiel decided to scans the Mankey, Ben caught yesterday with his Pokédex.)
Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Mankey, the Pig Monkey Pokémon. It is extremely quick to anger. It could be docile one moment then thrashing away the next instant." (The Pokédex explained. Ezekiel widen his eyes in surprise but calmed down for a bit. Then she frowned.)
Tatsumi: Almost making me forget of our current goal of maintaining our lead. (Tatsumi added regretfully. Everyone gasped in surprise of this. They looked at each other and knew that even if they were on a Pokémon Journey, it was still a competition for 10 million dollars. Of course, they wouldn't let greed and competition tarnish their newly found friendship and teamwork.)
Natsuko: Yes, I do agree that we must maintain our lead. However, I believe that we still got time. There's still no certain fact that all of the Raging Gyarados will win on their first try. (A calm Natsuko replied. Cody got serious into his thoughts.)
Cody Anderson: (Yeah, but what about the Gyarados that had played the games before. I can't help but wonder what they are doing right now?) (Cody thought.)
[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
(After sunrise, the Raging Gyarados minus Alejandro, managed to enter the Pewter Gym and were granted the honor of challenging Brock. The first challenger was Noah, who with only Bulbasaur, was fighting and beating Brock's Onix at the battlefield, after he and Bulbasaur defeated Geodude with a few to barely any HP losses. Heather, Kayoko, Daisuke, Anne Maria and surprisingly Misty, were sitting on the bleachers on the sides.)
Heather Hamilton: Okay! I had no idea that Noah could train his Pokémon to be evenly matched with that giant rock snake thing! (A rebuffed Heather complained.)
Kayoko: It's called Onix, Heather. On-IX! Get it right! (Kayoko lectured. Heather rolled her eyes.)

Heather Hamilton: Don't get me wrong. I am not turning into a nerd just because I am treating my Pokémon with kindness and gratitude. I just don't want to be seen as an amateur that needs constant help on figuring out these stats conditions, type advantages et cetera, et cetera. I'm just a little annoyed by the fact that even though I have three Pokémon, I only have one with the advantage over Rock-Types. (Heather stated with narrow eyes and her arms crossed. Then she stared at the camera as if it was an audience of people.)
Heather Hamilton: What? If you're expecting me to get emotionally worried for my boyfriend, well you can just forget it! (An angry Heather said.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
Noah Thomas: Shoot another Leech Seed! (Noah ordered. Bulbasaur fired another Leech Seed from his bulb as it was speeding to touch the already two Leech Seeds covered Onix.)
Brock: Dodge it and use Tackle! (Brock countered. Onix narrowly dodges the Leech Seed, much to Noah and Bulbasaur's shock. Afterwards, Onix zooms in and unleashed a powerful Tackle at Bulbasaur who fell roughly on the ground with a great amount of his HP decreased in the red.)
Noah Thomas: Bulbasaur! Are you alright? Please speak to me! (Noah yelled in concern. Despite having suffer a good chunk of its HP, Bulbasaur reopened his eyes and slowly, but painfully got back on his feet. Brock, with his stoic stare, was a bit impressed with Bulbasaur's stamina and unyielding nature.)
Brock: You may think you have the advantage here, just because your Pokémon is a Grass-Type. Unfortunately for you, Noah, that won't be enough to save you! (Brock replied. Noah looked serious at the Pewter Gym Leader.)
Noah Thomas: If you're gonna tried to scare me into quitting, it ain't gonna work on me! I am not like some of my teammates on the stands there. I actually train and believe in my Pokémon! I had a dream once coming to the Pokémon World; explore its lands, battling every Gym Leader I cross paths with and work alongside my Pokémon and take on the Pokémon League! And now that Total Drama is in cohorts with the Pokémon Company, I have become more determine to win this season and claim the prize and the throne of the Kanto League Championship! Watch out for me and my Bulbasaur's Fury! (Noah declared. Bulbasaur's serious stare got fierce as he was glowing with a green aura that appeared around him. Everyone in the room gasped at what was happening. Bulbasaur activated his ability, Overgrow.)
Noah Thomas's Bulbasaur: | Noah may have... chosen me out of logics, but even with the short time we spend together, I could see the inner strength he possesses and his determination to win this season. I am gonna beat you and win this battle! | (Bulbasaur said fiercely. Onix looked mildly surprised before recomposing himself. Secretly, Noah let a small grin appeared on her face. For once, Heather intrigued at the ability before her.)
Heather Hamilton: What the-?! What with the green glow Noah's Bulbasaur is surrounded with? (Heather asked, almost sounding like a demand. Despite her tone, a smiling Daisuke decided to inform her.)
Daisuke Umizawa: "Elementary, dear Heather!" This ability is Bulbasaur, and every Grass-Type Starter Pokémon's signature power known as Overgrow. Whenever a starter Grass-Type Pokémon's HP is at the red, its Grass-Type moves increases dramatically to 50% more than its average amount. Specifically, its Attack and Special Attack moves like Petal Dance and Vine Whip will increase thrice as much to defeat a Pokémon with more experience and higher Defense and Special Defense stats it has. (Daisuke finished. For once, Heather was gesturing in thoughts about abilities and the ones relating to the Starter Pokémon.)
Heather Hamilton: If Overgrow is the signature ability to Grass-Type Starters, then what are the ones for Water-Types and Fire-Types that can match up to Overgrow? (Heather asked.)
Daisuke Umizawa: For Water-Types, it's Torrent and Blaze for Fire-Types. Swarm is also the equivalent for Bug-Types but only a few possess that ability. (Daisuke explains. At the mention of Bug-Types, Misty shivers at the thought of them.)
Misty: Why do Bug-Types have to be mentioned. I mean is it so hard to mention a different type with only two legs and no creepy faces. (A scared Misty retorted. Heather and Anne Maria laughs while Daisuke smiled in a calm manner while Kayoko rolled her eyes. Misty puffs angrily but huff out and looked the opposite way. Secretly, Brock let a small grin appear on his face. Then he got serious.)
Brock: You have great pride and confidence in your analysis and assumptions, yet it could lead to your downfall. (Brock said, much to Noah's shock.)
Noah Thomas: What!? (Noah exclaimed.)

(In his confessional, Noah was speechless beyond his comprehension that he receive such criticism from Brock.)
Noah Thomas: What!? Is he kidding me!? My Bulbasaur and I trained vigorously for this moment and yet Brock see a weakness that I never thought I had!? (Noah said. Then he crossed his arms and looked irritated by the comment still.)
Noah Thomas: Good thing he ain't my favorite Gym Leader. (Noah said. Then he waited but saw the camera still rolling.)
Noah Thomas: I know what you expect me to say and no, I am not gonna disclose you who it is. (Noah finished, not intending to reveal any more thoughts or his background to the audience of two worlds.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
Noah Thomas: Then do tell, oh Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer! (Noah said sarcastically.)
Noah Thomas: Bulbasaur not only has the Type Advantage on our side, but we've been training nonstop to reach the current level he is and developing strategies to defeat your powerful Rock-Type Pokémon. Especially, since I recently discovered your Onix's weakness. (Noah bragged. Brock didn't let that statement faze him. The rest of Raging Gyarados however, were surprised to hear of Noah's claim.)
Heather Hamilton: (Onix's weakness? Besides Water, Grass, Fighting, Steel and Ground-Types, these Rock-Types have a lot of powerful stats in Attack, Defense, and Special Attacks. What does that bookworm see that I can't?) (Heather wondered carefully. Kayoko smuggled in satisfactory.)
Kayoko Ashioku: (Impressive.) (Kayoko thought.)
Daisuke Umizawa: (Damn, I've watch him on the Total Drama show, but I'm impressed he figured out Onix's natural weak point in such a fast pace.) (A smiling Daisuke added. Misty looked concerned and Anne Maria, despite her expressionless stare, was intrigued to know more of Noah's plan.)

(In her confessional, Anne Maria stared hard at the camera.)
Anne Maria: Okay, I don't get it. When I first got on the show before this one, I was almost close to win the prize money and getting loaded to spend and found me a good-looking and chiseled tough man. (Anne Maria exclaimed. Then she got her good mood and turned it into a mad one.)
Anne Maria: Bad enough that redhead wallflower has him, but the very shock to my heart was that Vito, the man of my dreams was ACTUALLY a personality for a multi persona freak supposedly cured. (Roars Angrily) (Anne Maria punched at the left wall, then the right wall and accidentally, the camera, which was being clouded due to the malfunctioning. After a couple of seconds, the auto-repair was complete, and Anne Maria stared fully calmed.)
Anne Maria: Okay. I lost it there but I'm back to calmness 100%. Still, I gotta admit, that nerd bag ain't no pushover with this Pokémon business. If I have any chance to win 10 million, I need to learn more to Pokémon battling and seeing him take on that solid hot- I mean… tough Rock-Type Gym Leader. (Laughs sheepishly.) (Anne Maria mustered.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
Brock: Hmph! Do tell what this weakness my Onix possess? I'm somewhat curious of your analysis? (Brock suggested. Noah smirked proudly.)
Noah Thomas: Normally, Rock-Types don't have a lot in terms of speed, but you use moves to improve their movements. If I must state it, your Onix's greatest strength would be in his Defense being the highest followed by the Attack, Special Defense, Special Attack and Speed respectively. But even I know with all that mass and mineral body type must have a drawback. (Noah explains.)
Noah Thomas: Your Onix takes in a lot of damage for Bide to stored and fired a powerful blast of energy, Tackle and Bind requires patience and a straightforward approach and Screech is to lower the Attack status of your opponents' Pokémon! (Noah added.)
Brock: You know, I'm fully aware that in your world, I was considered a video game character and you have battle me in those games several time before. Why would you explain details of my Onix that I already know? (Brock asked skeptically.)
Noah Thomas: What most people tend to ignore most of the time that combining the fact of its low stats in Speed, most Rock-Types like Onix don't possess great accuracies! Especially against opposing Pokémon with more speed and dexterity! (Noah finished, revealing that chunk of information. Brock was shocked briefly by this while the rest of the Gyarados were gasping in surprise by this.)
Noah Thomas: Bulbasaur! Use Vine Whip on one of the rock structures and spin clockwise! (Noah commands. Like his trainer, Bulbasaur led a small grin appear on his face.)
Noah Thomas's Bulbasaur: | Finally! Time to put my speed training into good use. | (Bulbasaur said. With one swing, Bulbasaur wrapped his vine on the narrowest rock pillar and starts to spin rapid.)
Brock: I don't think so! Onix, use Bind! (Brock commands. Onix roars and charges to entrap his opponent…)
Noah Thomas: Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip on your only available vine and hit Onix when he comes too close! (Noah commands. Once Onix got close to bind Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon quickly lung and whipped the Rock Snake Pokémon directly.)
Brock's Onix: (Roars painfully)
Noah Thomas: Now let's start storing some solar energy! (Noah ordered, much to everyone's shocking surprise.)
Misty: No way!? Could he be talking about… (Light rays from the morning sun being shown on the window ceiling of the gym were being drawn to the open area on Bulbasaur's bulb, absorbing the energy and storing it for a powerful move.)
Brock: Onix! Don't give that Bulbasaur a chance to finish storing that energy! Tackle him down! (Brock roared.)
Brock's Onix: | I'm on it, Brock! | (A serious Onix replied to his trainer. Onix leans in with the intent to tackle down the Seed Pokémon. A narrow eye, but smirking Noah found his opening.)
Noah Thomas: Gotcha! Bulbasaur let go of your right vine now! (Noah commands. Bulbasaur let go of the rocky pillar and flew up in the air, barely dodging the Onix's Tackle attack as it hit the pillar instead.)
Chris Mclean: Whoa! When did Noah taught his Bulbasaur the move Solar Beam? (Chris wondered. The second monitor screen was turned on and appearing was Taniuchi Sakuma, wearing a lab coat.)
Taniuchi Sakuma (Screen): Normally, Bulbasaur need to reach a higher level to learn Solar Beam, but that isn't the case here. Most Pokémon can learn moves before they are even born into the world. This is what's known as "Moves By Birth" or obtaining moves through breeding. It is the role of Pokémon Breeders to take proper care and mate comparable selected Pokémon to reproduce new Pokémon with different move sets that they cannot learn by leveeing or using TMs and HMs. Along with moves, it's to ensure the future generation of Pokémon to have higher individual values while possessing different Natures from that of their parents and to increase the friendships between them and their Pokémon Trainers. Before the show's first season started, we had plenty of time to carefully select male Pokémon with unique moves to mate with the female final forms of the Starter Pokémon of the first five generations so that you trainers could use your Pokédex to see if your starters have acquired those moves from their fathers. (Taniuchi explains all of that.)

(In her confessional, Heather widens her eyes briefly in surprise upon hearing Taniuchi's knowledge on breeding, but with her Squirtle on her lap.)
Heather Hamilton: As much as I was to barf at the mention of (Grunts disgustingly) the "miracle" of childbirth. I had no idea that when it comes to Pokémon breeding, they can have moves they normally can't learn by those two options. (Heather said. Then she turned to her Squirtle.)
Heather Hamilton: You wouldn't happen to know what moves you got from your dad? (Heather asked her Squirtle. Squirtle stared at his trainer in nonchalant blank way.)
Heather Hamilton's Squirtle: | Heather, I was still an egg and when I hatched, I never got a clear sight of my dad. So, I have no idea what Pokémon my dad is? | (Squirtle explained to his trainer. Heather growls quietly.)
Heather Hamilton: Fine! I guess even newborn Pokémon can't remember who their parents are. But if you were born with a useless move then listen carefully. (Heather said calmly. Heather turns to the camera and makes a glare on her face.)
Heather Hamilton: I just have to say… Loser Breeder! (Heather shouted angrily.)

(Bulbasaur finished storing enough solar energy as his bulb's opening was glowing in green aura. Noah grin at this.)
Noah Thomas: Now let's finish this with Solar Beam! (Noah commands. Bulbasaur nods. Bulbasaur aims and fires an intense, noise breaking, beam of solar light at a speechless Onix who was hit directly by it.)
Brock's Onix: | NOOOO! | (Onix screams in pain. The entire battlefield was covered in a blinding light. Once the Solar Beam ended, a fainted Onix was slowly falling on its back toward the bleachers, as the Raging Gyarados were all terrified that they were gonna get squashed like ants until… BEAM Brock beamed his Onix back into his Poké Ball. Brock looked at his Poké Ball with concern for his ace Pokémon. Ref Chef raised his arms up.)
Chef Hatchet: Onix is unable to battle! Bulbasaur wins the match! The victory goes to Noah Thomas of Brampton! (Chef announces. Noah cheers excitedly and Bulbasaur growls in happiness that he won. As he approaches Noah, the latter stared blankly at him for a moment… before he turned it into a kind one instead. Noah rubs his Bulbasaur's head.)
Noah Thomas: Thank you, Bulbasaur. I couldn't have done it without you. (Noah praised. Bulbasaur smiles and then… Light engulfs Bulbasaur as he was evolving.)
Noah Thomas: (Gasps surprised) Bulbasaur!? Are you… (Noah paused? The rest of the Raging Gyarados were gasping shockingly. Bulbasaur got a few feet tall, four different leaves pop out of its back while the bulb not only grew but change into a carnation-like shape. Once it was done, Bulbasaur was now a new quadrupedal Pokémon that has blue-green skin with dark patches, pointy ear with black insides, gaining a third claw on each foot, a pink bud, leafy green fronds supporting the bud.)
Noah Thomas's Ivysaur: (Growls proudly) (Bulbasaur, rather, Ivysaur mustered. A surprise Noah turns his expression into an excited blank one.)
Noah Thomas: Excellent! (Noah replied as he brough out his Pokédex and scans his newly evolved Pokémon.)
Noah's Pokédex: "Ivysaur, the Seed Pokémon. The Evolved Form of Bulbasaur. The bud on its back grows by drawing energy. It gives off an aroma when it is ready to bloom." (The Pokédex reports.)

(Anne Maria was laying on her confessional while smiling at her Bulbasaur with revelated discovery from watching Noah's battle.)
Anne Maria: Oh! I can't believe that bookworm slacker won on his first turn. And that his Bulbasaur evolved after the battle. Still, I actually liked the way that bud liked like a carnation, wouldn't you, Folgia. (Anne Maria asked her Bulbasaur, which she nicknamed Folgia. Folgia nods in agreement.)
Folgia (Anne Maria's Bulbasaur): | Girl, don't I know it. It pretty much kills our speed, but it makes look that fabulous, and you get more power, but it's worth it! | (Folgia answered.)
Both: (Laughing happily)
Anne Maria: Oh, don't I know it. This one time I was working at my auntie Diauna Ross at her flower shop, I saw these exotic carnations she has been collecting from around the carnation. She taught me of how it belongs to the Dianthus family and how each have different but commonly strong spicy fragrance. My personal favorite are the wood pinks. Cause they come from Greece, birthplace of hunks and real men. (Anne Maria finished.)

(After Noah got his Boulder Badge and prize Pokémon dollars, Daisuke was next to challenge Brock. Daisuke's Mankey was able to dodge and defeat Geodude using Karate Chop and while damaging Onix for a little bit, Daisuke was able to retreat him back and switch him for Squirtle. Thought it wasn't easy, Squirtle was able to defeat Onix using Bubble Beam; Daisuke won his Boulder Badge, TM and prize. Heather was next. She was able to beat Geodude with her Squirtle. Unfortunately, Onix charged forward and tackles Squirtle enough that its HP reach zero and fainted.)
Heather Hamilton: (Screams shockingly) You've got to be kidding me!? (Heather exclaimed.)
Chef Hatchet: Squirtle is unable to battle! The winner is Onix! (Chef announces. Heather retreated her Squirtle back in its Poké Ball. Although she's mad, it wasn't toward her Pokémon, but toward Onix.)
Heather Hamilton: You got lucky, my Squirtle was nearly worn out taking down your buddy Geodork. VERY lucky! (Heather screamed. Onix simply rolled his eyes. Brock rose a brow.)

(However, Heather couldn't fulfill her threat as the next Pokémon she brought was Pidgey and in a sudden swift, Onix tackles down the smaller Tiny Bird Pokémon effortlessly. Heather had this shocked expression in her face.)
Chef Hatchet: Pidgey is unable to battle. Which means Onix is the winner. The victory goes to the Pewter Gym Leader Brock! (Chef announces. Brock stood there as a smirk creep on his face.)
Brock: That's what happens when you relay too much on the Type Advantage. Rock-Types isn't the same as single-minded. (Brock stated with a hint of lecture. Heather returned his Pidgey back to his Poké Ball. Then she went back to her seat at the bleachers. Meanwhile, Kayoko got down to the battlefield once Brock finished healing his Pokémon and getting them a moment of rest.)
Chef Hatchet: This match between Kayoko Ashioku of Hachioji City and the Pewter Gym Leader, Brock will begin. Both Trainers will use two Pokémon and, but the challenger still have only one than too bad! However, only the challenger will be allowed to switch Pokémon during and after matches. Now get ready, get settle and BATTLE! (Chef said. Both Kayoko and Brock's Pokémon; Charmander and Geodude were duking it out.)
Heather Hamilton: Well, at less I won't be the only one to lose their Gym Battle, I mean Kayoko only has one Pokémon and it's a Fire-Type. She's probably-
Brock's Geodude: (Grunts painfully!) (All eyes widen in astonishment as they turn to see a fainted Geodude lying on the ground.)
Brock: No! Geodude! (Brock screamed in concern.)
Chef Hatchet: Geodude is unable to battle. Charmander wins this round! (Chef announces. A smirking Kayoko was satisfied with this victory along with a proud smiling Charmander. Brock returns his Geodude back in his Poké Ball.)
Brock: I wouldn't let that confidence get turned into overconfidence. You possess only one Pokémon on your team and yet you beat my Geodude with your Fire-Type Charmander. You have earned my respect in having faith in your Pokémon. However, this next round will determine this round… (Brock brought out his Poké Ball containing Onix. This didn't faze a serious staring Kayoko one bit.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Do you ever shut up? (Kayoko said without a hint of fear. The rest of Gyarados, Chef and Misty were astonished by the lack of fear the blond Japanese girl has.)
Brock: Now, let's rock this, Onix! (Brock exclaimed. The Poké Ball opened and out came was Onix.)
Brock's Onix: (ROARS INTENSIVELY) (Onix mustered. Onix stared down at Charmander, who wasn't faze by the larger Pokémon.)
Kayoko Ashioku's Charmander: | Ready when you are, Kayoko. | (Charmander said.)
Brock: Tackle! (Brock commands fiercely. Onix charges in to attack Charmander.)
Kayoko Ashioku: NOW! SMOKESCREEN! (Kayoko commands! Charmander breath out a steam of black smoke that covers the whole battlefield. SMASH!)
Chris McLean: Whoa! Just what's going on in that field of smokescreen?! (Chris responded.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, now's your chance. Use Metal Claw! (Kayoko ordered. Charmander's claws glows in silver Steel-Type energy and scratches Onix directly with super effective damages.)
Brock's Onix (ROARS PAINFULLY!) (Onix screams.)
Brock: Oh no! ONIX! (Brock screamed in concern.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, use Dragon Rage! (Kayoko commands. Charmander builds up and fired a stream of blue energy that took on the form of a dragon's head and hit Onix directly.)
Brock's Onix: (Roars painfully) (Onix screamed.)
Brock: Quickly use Bide! (Brock ordered. Soon, Onix starts to store up his damages and converting them into energy.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Don't get cocky, Gym Leader! I may have to defeat your Onix, but I will not recklessly fall into your trap. (Kayoko replied.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander! Cover the field with more Smokescreen and then attack with Metal Claw! (Kayoko ordered. Charmander fired another Smokescreen that covered the area and weakens Onix's accuracy even more. Then she lungs at Onix with Metal Claw which cause Onix to roar in pain. However, it also enables Onix to store in more energy for his move.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Use Smokescreen again, but this time, follow it up with Dragon Rage! (Kayoko commands. Charmander fired another Smokescreen and then attacks with Dragon Rage at the struggling Onix storing up energy. A sweat dropping Brock gritted his teeth at the battle.)
Brock: (Hang in there, Onix.) (Brock thought. Anticipating the Bide's exact time completion, Kayoko got ready to execute her final phrase.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, focus your energy for the final part of my strategy. (Kayoko ordered as calm as she can. Soon after that, an orange glow appeared inside the Smokescreen. The others on the bleachers were wondering in cartoonish shock expressions of how Kayoko got her Charmander got so strong in a short amount of time. Onix finished storing enough energy to attack.)
Brock: Now UNLEASH ALL YOUR BIDE ENERGY! (Brock orders intensely. Back with a "vengeance" Onix charged and fired the energy he stored up at the orange glow. ZAPPPPPPP! BOOOM! A white flash covered the room, but once it ends, the entire gym was rid of Smokescreen. However, Onix and Brock were confused because they didn't know nor could see where Kayoko's Charmander was.)
Brock: What!? Where's your Charmander? There's no way, she could've evaded that Bide and all the pend up energy we stored up for that attack. (Brock exclaimed. A frown Kayoko turns to a small grin.)
Kayoko Ashioku: A true strategist plans on every possible outcome and after witnessing those earlier battles, I have come to conclude that this battle is mine! NOW! FINISH IT WITH FOCUS PUNCH! (Kayoko ordered.)
Everyone: SAY WHAT!? (Everyone shouted in astonishment. Coming out of the dust was a fierce Charmander jumping high in the air with the same orange glow which was Focus Punch and upon reaching a startled Onix…)
Kayoko's Charmander: | FOR THE HONOR OF THE ASHIOKU CLAN! FOR KAYOKO! | (Charmander cried! Charmander lands her Focus Punch a direct hit at the Rock Snake Pokémon, unleashing immense amount of power and Fighting-Type energy which was super effective at the screaming Onix.)
Brock's Onix: | I CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL TO A TINY POKÉMON'S ATTACKKKKKKK! | (Onix screamed in shock. Afterward, Onix fell to the ground roughly and with swirling eyes, including that it fainted.)
Chef Hatchet: Dang! Now that was a fast battle! Anyways, Onix is unable to battle! Charmander wins! The victory goes to Kayoko Ashioku of Hachioji! (Chef announces.)

Share they obtain upon meeting up a researcher under Professor Oak. They were able to find TM12 –Water Gun, some Nuggets, TM01 – Mega Punch, and some Revives but no Moon Stone. Ben checked the current moves his Ivysaur has: Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Magical Leaf and Vine Whip)
Ben Jutsuku: Yeah! We manage to increase your level so much, you finally learned Razor Leaf, Ivysaur. (Ben praised. Ivysaur smiled at this.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Natsuko seems upset. Do you think I could find a way to help her find a new Pokémon? (Ezekiel whispered.)
Akina Sakata: Well, of course. Even the strongest of women can be vulnerable when they come into a situation like this, but why are you so concern for Miss Bushimori that much unless… (Akina paused as she widens her eye in astonishment.)

Cody Anderson: Cool! (Cody exclaimed. He raised his fist up. Confused at first, but realizing the gesture, Ezekiel returned it back with his own as they both fist bumped.)
Cody Anderson: Still, I'm surprise. I didn't know you were into strong, athletic women? (Cody asked.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Well... ever since I recovered and regained my humanity, I've been thinking… most of the things my dad taught me were misguided and wrong to assumed that girls were still defenseless. Now I know they are independent thinking, strong, hardworking, protective women who deserve to be treated with respect and recognition. (Ezekiel said all of that. Cody was surprised and Akina was amazed at the epic change Ezekiel has gone through his recovery and currently with their journey. Ezekiel then frowned.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: But what if she doesn't like me because of my sexist comment or… (Ezekiel paused as he picked up a frequency sound.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Zubat? (A curious Ezekiel asked as he brought out and scan the wild Pokémon.)
Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Zubat, the Bat Pokémon. They form colonies in perpetually dark place. Zubat can use ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets." (The Pokédex explains. Just as they were getting closer, instead of an attack, they were fleeing from their sight, much to the Braving Charizard's confusion.)

Tatsumi's Charmander: | AH, Tatsumi. You do know that the Team Rocket grunts you encountered are video game characters on a console. | (A reassuring Charmander replied. Tatsumi had a brief anime embarrassed look as she had her cheeks blushing.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Well…? That's the same calm and reassuring answer my mother used. She said "Tatsumito Johime Akeito. While there are real burglars, the ones in your video games aren't really coming out. They're just pixels and computer chips designed to project 2D characters to appear when you are entering a battle. It's just the way they are programmed."

The Braving Charizard, however, were glaring deadly at the apathic Pokémon poachers. Ezekiel, for example, was growling silently while showing off his razor-sharp teeth that still retains its fang appearance.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: That's it! (Ezekiel mustered viciously. Before he could move in to attack, Natsuko grabbed a hold of his hoodie to prevent him to revealing himself and the team. Everyone was astonished by this surprising act.)
Cody Anderson: Natsuko? (Cody mustered.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Hold on. Who says this is our responsibility? (Natsuko asked, trying to point out the obvious approach.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: N-Natsuko? (An astonished Ezekiel replied.)
Cody Anderson: What're you talking about? Of course, this is our responsibility! Those are Team Rocket grunts kidnapping those Zubat from their home. (Cody replied in a low tone to avoid getting their attention.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Chris never mentioned anything about battling criminals. And whether or not that is a sub-challenge, should we really spend time battling villains and allow the Gyarados to catch up to us? (Natsuko suggested. The entire team couldn't believe what their purple hair teammates was saying, either to take on Team Rocket to free the Zubat they caught or keep their 1st place to advance. Everyone was at a loss for words. Indecision filled their atmosphere, with nobody having a clue to which option to pick. Tatsumi, however, had a dark glare at her fellow samurai teammate at the idea of abandoning the wild Zubat that were still being captured by the Team Rocket grunts.)
Tatsumi Akeito: SO, you suggest we do nothing about this… this Injustice!? (Tatsumi gritted those words angrily.)
Tatsumi Akeito: I thought out of anyone who would understand and value the moral code of Bushido, it would my only known rival in Kendo. I thought you would know better than to ignore the plead of the helpless, Bushimori. (Tatsumi questioned. The three males, with Akina nowhere to be seen, were confused and wondered if Natsuko and Tatsumi had known each other before the season. The serious Natsuko turns her frown into a small sad smile.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Of course, the code means a lot to me. Taught to me by my father, but… Sometimes, honor isn't enough. Just because I can see a realistic approach, it doesn't mean I have to like it. Just because we have Pokémon, it doesn't mean we are the law or rather, we should just use them to attack every criminal we come across. (Natsuko lectured. Everyone was in deep thoughts, knowing what Natsuko said was true in terms of ethics and legality. Cody was looking around and notice one missing redhead girl.)
Cody Anderson: Ah...? Has anyone seen Akina? (Cody asked. Meanwhile, As the remaining wild Zubat were fleeing as best as they could, a female Zubat was flapping as hard she could until she collided with a male Zubat, who got hit by a Team Rocket Ball and caught. The female Zubat fell and struggles to get up and fly.)
Wild Zubat: | Ow, my wing. Wait. Wait! I'm hurt. | (She exclaimed, but to no avail. The two grunts noticed the injured Zubat.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Lookie here! We must've missed one. (The second grunt said.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Hmph. Looks weak, but with a few modifications and the right directions, it could fetch us a good price. It'll be the client's problem, not ours. (First grunt replied. The female Zubat looked frightened at the ideas these two humans have in store for her despite not having actual eyes.)
Wild Zubat: | These humans? They're gonna do harm to my fellow Zubat. They're evil? Someone, help! Someone! PLEASE! HELP! | (Zubat screeched. The first grunt threw a Team Rocket Ball at the female Zubat. As it was inches away to capture… A Steel-energy coated tail strike it away from the Zubat and hits the second grunt in the face. SMACK!)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: OW! What happen-
Akina Sakata: I happened! (Both grunts gasped upon seeing the one who interfere with their operation was a red hair in twin tail girl with her Pikachu readying to fight.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: A kid? (He mustered. All the other Charizard widen their eyes in surprise when they heard the grunts.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: What's a girl doing here? And man, she's quite a looker. (Grunt exclaims while complimenting Akina, much to Cody's blushing jealousy.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Ah? Cody are you alright? | (A concerned Pikachu asked.)
Cody Anderson: I'm fine Pikachu! (Cody said that instantly. However, Pikachu and Squirtle didn't buy it. Cody's glare was still there.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | You sure? Cause your frown is saying other- |
Cody Anderson: I SAID I'M FINE! (Cody snapped. Squirtle and Pikachu gulped. Upon seeing their startled expression, Cody frowns, ashamed of himself.)
Cody Anderson: Pikachu. Squirtle. I'm so sorry! (Cody said apologizing for his behavior. Squirtle and Pikachu gave their trainer small smiles to reassure him.)
Cody Anderson: It's just what that grunt said to Akina pushed my buttons. That's all. (Cody said.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | All that anger because of a compliment? | (Squirtle asked.)
Cody Anderson: When it comes to bad guys, sure it starts with a compliment, but once she lets her guard down, he'll take her and steal all her virtues. (Cody explains.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Virtues? Like her kindness and happiness? | (Pikachu asked. Cody looked shocked by this. He laughs nervously)

(An unmoved serious Akina brought forth her Poké Ball readying for battle.)
Akina Sakata: You think flattery will be enough for me to fall for your tricks. (Akina said rhetorically.)
Akina Sakata: Wrong! While I'm competing on a reality show, I am also a Pokémon Trainer! And I have made a vow to battle trainers with my Pokémon and take down any forces of crimes and evil! Especially you Team Rocket lowlifes! Take flight, Rika! (Akina said all of that after she threw her Poké Ball and brought out her Pikachu, now nicknamed Rika.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | I'm ready! | (Rika said. Astonished, the grunts reacted by laughing at the sight of a Pikachu.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Seriously. All that talk and you brought out a Pikachu? (The grunt retorted. The grunts brought out their Team Rocket Balls.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: I think it's time to show you real powerful Pokémon! Go, Ekans! (He commanded.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Yeah, show this chick whose boss, Rattata! (The second grunt added. They both brought out a Rattata and a new purple snake-like Pokémon with some yellow coloring, with a yellow tail and a matching rattle at its tip, large yellow eyes with slit reptilian pupils and a yellow band across its neck. Despite the circumstances, Akina did raised a brow at the sight of a familiar Pokémon, much to her amazement.)
Akina Sakata: Whoa, that's an Ekans! (Akina replied as she brought out her Pokédex and scans the enemy Pokémon.)
Akina's Pokédex: "Ekans, the Snake Pokémon. They can move silently and stealthy to catch their prey. They eat the eggs of bird-like Pokémon such as Pidgey and Spearow, whole in accordance with their natural diet." (The Pokédex explains. The grunts didn't get bothered by this.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Well, sweet cheeks, if you think Ekans is amazing then get a load of my Rattata! Use Scary Face! (The second grunt ordered. The Team Rocket Rattata smug evilly as it concentrated and use a move that created a literal Scary Face of a sinister looking beast at the frighten Rika.)
Rika (Akina's Pikachu): | Scary! | (Rika mustered with a sweat drop, her accuracy was lowered drastically by Scary Face.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Ekans! Use Sludge Bomb on that Pikachu! (The grunt commanded. Ekans generates a lot of Poison sludge in the form of a large purple bomb.)
Akina Sakata: Dodge it, quick! (Akina reacted!)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Too late, twin tails! (Grunt replied. Ekans fires the Sludge Bomb toward Rika who got out of the way of its intended landing but didn't avoid a direct hit by the aftermath of one of the sludges. Rika grunts loudly! The worst part is that Rika got poisoned, evidenced by the purple blush on its face and struggling. The rest of the Charizard were shocked by this development, but before they could intervene…)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Rattata, use Bite! (He commands. Rattata generates Dark-Type energy that morph into a set of fangs. Rattata jumps high and prepares to strike…)
Akina Sakata: I don't thing so! Rika, use Quick Attack to dodge the attack! (Akina commands. Rika gathers energy and instantly evades the opponent's Rattata, much to the latter and its trainer's shock. Gotten the opponent to show an opening.)
Akina Sakata: We have an opening. Paralyze the foes with Thunder Wave! (Akina added. A realized smirking Rika charged up enough electricity and fired a stream of electrical wave at the opponent's Rattata. Rattata got paralysis from the status move, barely able to move in a normal pace.)
Team Rocket's Rattata: (GRUNTING) | I can't believe I got paralyze by a girl Pikachu. | (Rattata grunts. Rika stares seriously at the Rattata.)
Rika (Akina's Pikachu): | Hmph! You think that's bad then you're in for a big shock. Ready when you are Akina? | (Rika replied to her trainer.)
Akina Sakata: Let's finish this with Thunder Shock! (Akina commands. Once the word got out, Rika charges up her electricity.)
Rika (Akina's Pikachu): | Get Ready for an Electrifying…. FLIGHTT! | (Rika shouted upon firing a Thunder Shock directing at Rattata.)
Team Rocket's Rattata: (SCREAMINGGGGG!) (The opponent's Rattata screams in pain by the Thunder Shock. Afterwards, Rattata fell to the ground, completely fainted. Akina smirks proudly with Rika as well. The second grunt, however, was making a comical shock expression that his Pokémon got beat.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: AHHHHH! MY RATTATA! (The second grunt cried hysterically. The first grunt facepalm himself at his dimwitted comrade's hysertia.)
Akina Sakata: (Laugh) (Laugh) (Laugh) Wow! We took down a Team Rocket Grunt, Rika! (Akina said happily. Rika nodded with a smile.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | Well, I couldn't have done it without your… HELP! | (Rika screamed before she could finish her sentence as she got hit by a volley of Poison Sting.)
Akina Sakata: (Gasp) Rika! (Akina cried. The first grunt laughs evilly while his Ekans smirked arrogantly. Akina stares angrily.)
Akina Sakata: Hey! That's cheating! Attacking another trainer's Pokémon in the back is against rules! (Akina said sternly.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Like I give a care if I follow the rules. (He said remorselessly. Akina growls angrily. Rika grunts painfully as she was trying to get up.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Strike it down with Bite! (He commands his Ekans. Ekans leans into its target when… TACKLE! Both Grunts, Akina, Rika and the Ekans were shocked/surprised at the grunt's Ekans being hit directly by a Squirtle using a combo move consisted of Withdraw and Water Gun. The Ekans screams while being thrown across a few inches from the impact. Squirtle came out of its shell, defensing his comrade/friend in Rika.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | You hit my friend in the back! You tried to play dirty to win. You want a fight you cowardly serpent, now you got one! | (Squirtle remarks. The first grunt was busy being shocked at this turn of events; he didn't notice… SMASH! Cody lunging a fist at his right cheek instantly and with surprising strength.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: (Grunts painfully) (He screamed before he falls close to his recovered Ekans. Akina was astonished as Cody came to her side with his Squirtle crossing his arms.)
Cody Anderson: Challenge or not, you're battling me now! (Cody declares after he and Squirtle pointed their finger at their opponents. The first grunt snarls at this along with his Ekans hissing.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Your funeral, kid! Ekans, time to use Wrap on that Squirtle! (He commands. Ekans slitters to entrap Squirtle.)
Cody Anderson: Use Water Gun to dodge it! (Cody counter-orders. A smirking Squirtle jumped and fires a Water Gun, avoiding the Ekans's Wrap while floating in the air.)
Cody Anderson: Aim for the forehead and tackle it! (Cody adds. Squirtle aims his head toward the Ekans's forehead and upon his landing... BAM! Squirtle's Tackle directly inflicts damage at the white plate eyes Ekans due to the pain.)
Team Rocket Ekans: | SSSSSAAHHHHHH! | (The Ekans hissing painfully.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: EKANS! (He yelled in shock. Even the rest of Braving Charizard were impressed by the tactic Cody employed.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Ingenious move. Despite his debut on Total Drama Island, Cody is wiser and anticipating of his opponent's moves. (Tatsumi acknowledged. Natsuko nods before anchoring a brow.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Indeed. I do, however, wonder how did he deduct an Ekans's weak point? (Natsuko asked.)

(Sitting on his confessional, Cody was smiling sheepishly, but out of modesty, as he faced the camera.)
Cody Anderson: That was actually pure luck on my part. My parents had me take zoology class in 7th Grade. I had to learn of the different classes of animals, the habitats they live in, their behavioral patterns and physiology. Facing the Team Rocket Grunt's Ekans reminded me on the topics about reptiles during our midterm week. But the crucial part I memorized the most is that the weaknesses of snakes are cold temperatures and climates, and their Achilles's heel are their forehead. (Cody explained. Cody rubs the back of his head, but with his smile intact.)
Cody Anderson: (Laughing sheepishly) It was a dangerous risk, but I'm surprise it also works on Pokémon that resembles snakes too. I gotta give my parents my thanks when this season is over. (Cody finished.)

Team Rocket Grunt #1: That's it! I've had enough of you meddling do-gooders! Ekans, prepare another Sludge Bomb! (He commands immediately. Not surprising his Ekans nodded as he concentrates another Sludge Bomb. Cody was fazed by this as he conjured up another strategy.)
Cody Anderson: Squirtle, I have a plan. Use Water Gun to elaborate yourself to the air. (Cody declares. Squirtle looked semi-confused at first.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | I can't say I fully understand your entire plan, but I trust you, Cody. | (Cody reassures. Then, he fires a Water Gun toward the ground again, but floating upward. The Ekans is nearly done charging up its Sludge Bomb.)
Cody Anderson: Now spin toward the Ekans clockwise using Withdraw. (Cody adds. Squirtle withdraws into his shell, increasing his Defense while spinning as instructed.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Now use Sludge Bomb! (The grunt ordered. Ekans fires the Sludge Bomb toward Squirtle. Just as the Sludge Bomb was near its target, Cody smirked proudly.)
Cody Anderson: Bingo! Squirtle use Iron Tail to slice it in half and end this battle! (Cody declares. Akina, the rest of the Charizard and the Team Rocket grunts were astonished. Soon, Squirtle's tail glows, preparing Iron Tail, as he spins straightforward.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | This won't be easy. But if Cody has faith in me, then so will IIII! | (Cody screamed as he used his Iron Tail and SLASH! The Sludge Bomb spills in two splashing waves of poison liquid flowing at opposite directions. The Ekans, in particular, was speechless that a Tiny Turtle Pokémon was capable of cutting down its powerful move.)
Cody & Squirtle: NOW'S OUR CHANCE! (NOW'S OUR CHANCE!) (They shouted simultaneously. Squirtle rolled and battle cries aiming his Iron Tail at a "paralyze" Ekans.)
Team Rocket Ekans: | NO! This cannot be HAPPPEENNNING! | (SMACK! This was repeated thrice of Squirtle striking Ekans down to the ground, but CRUSH! Cracked from the impact and strength of the Tiny Turtle Pokémon. Once dust settled, the enemy's Ekans fainted. After pressing his right thumb across his nose, Cody smiles proudly.)
Cody Anderson: Now that's how ya battle! (Cody exclaims, with Squirtle following his trainer's example as he crossed his arms.)

Akina Sakata: (Squealing loudly) That was totally wicked! I mean Rika and I were able to show that dimwitted grunt our bond. But watching how Cody came and finish the battle against the other one and his Ekans was breathtaking. (A star flashing Akina said all of that. Jigglypuff was astonished by this, and Rika had a sly smile.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | So, when are you going to make your move on him. | (Rika asked. Quickly, Akina's smile turns into a frightful one with white eyes.)
Akina Sakata: (Gasp) What!? Right now! Just as we are still getting to know each other! I don't want to invade his privacy or be pushy. No. No. No. (Akina said in denial as she lay her face on the desk. Jigglypuff was confused.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | Hmm, I'm confused here? Rika, why is our trainer acting like this? | (Jigglypuff asked. Rika waved her hand in reassuring gesture.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | Oh, Akina has a crush on Cody since she first saw him on Total Drama Island, but mainly because of his kind, caring and heroic side. Pikachu has been telling me that the feeling is actually mutual on Cody's part, but the problem is… | (Rika paused.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | They're too shy to admit their love for each other because they are in a competition. | (A blank staring Jigglypuff summarized.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | Pretty much. But all the more reason we should help our trainer muster the courage to confess to him. We're not just her Pokémon. We're also her friends. You do say Jigglypuff? | (Rika asked after explaining her of the growing relationship between Cody and Akina. Moved by this, a smiling Jigglypuff shook hands/paws with Rika.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | Count in me, Rika. I may be new to this party, but we are gonna give it our all to make Akina proud! | (Jigglypuff exclaimed. Soon, Akina got up from her desk.)
Akina Sakata: Ah, guys. I'm sorry for that hysterical reaction I did. I am done with it. Now, I can focus on winning Cody- Ah!? I-I mean the season. (Sigh) (Akina mustered.)

(After restraining the two Team Rocket Grunts in knots, the Braving Charizard were releasing the wild Zubat they caught.)
Cody Anderson: There ya go. (Cody said.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Go Zubat! You are free from the hands of tyranny. (Tatsumi added.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: You're free! You can stay in this cave and live peacefully, eh. (Ezekiel said.)
Ben Jutsuku: We won't let Team Rocket get their way anymore. Not when we're around. (Ben replied. The happy Zubat colony smiled at the freedom they reclaimed by the Braving Charizard. They flew off to another part of the cave away from Team Rocket. The female Zubat that Akina protected, was being checked out by the latter.)
Akina Sakata: The bright side, you are better now due to the battles we had with those Team Rocket punks. You should be also to fly nicely now. I'm just glad that you are safe. (A big smiling Akina reports. The female Zubat blushed a bit but was glad to hear it.)
Wild Zubat: | Well… thank you. My wing is a lot better. | (Zubat said. She took flight in the air, but just before she could leave the Braving Charizard be, she halts. Akina looked confused while her teammates were curious.)
Akina Sakata: Zubat? (Akina asked. The wild Zubat turned toward Akina.)
Akina Sakata: What's wrong? (Akina asked. Zubat didn't show it, but she felt that she couldn't leave Akina.)
Wild Zubat: | Hmm. What is this I'm feeling. We Zubat have always attack should our territory be invaded and only attack humans when they bring harm, to us or our home. Yet, she chose to step in and protect me? | (The Zubat said to herself. Rika realized why the wild Zubat hasn't left.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | If you want to join Akina and the rest of us, then it's okay to ask Akina and be her Pokémon. | (Rika offers. The Zubat gasped in surprise.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): | Don't worry. Unlike most humans you and your colony encountered, these people are more kind and understanding. Akina is the most confident and appreciating girl you would be proud to have for a trainer. | (Rika added. Zubat was amazed by this information.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: I don't know if I completely understand what they're saying, but I have a feeling that Zubat was to be your Pokémon, Akina. (Ezekiel exclaimed.)
Akina Sakata: Oh. Zubat! You want to come with me? (Akina asked. Both human and Pokémon stared at each other with calmness. Eventually, Zubat flew down a few feet above the ground. With a smile, she nodded. Akina smiles brightly.)
Akina Sakata: I'm happy to hear that! Now, let's soar Poké Ball! (Akina exclaimed after she threw her empty Poké Ball and it hit the Zubat in the forehead, thus beaming her inside. The Poké Ball lands on the ground moving… once… twice…. thrice… CLICK! Zubat was capture! Akina picked up her Poké Ball. She winks in a cute style.)
Akina Sakata: Alright! I just caught a Zubat! (Akina said after her posed. The rest of the Charizard were happy that Akina caught a Zubat, when they heard a new voice.)
?: Cle…? (Everyone turns their attention to see a wild Clefairy staring at them. In response, Clefairy stared serious at them and prepares to battle.)
Cody Anderson: It's a Clefairy! Wow this is- (Yell) (Yell) (Yell) (Cody yells painfully by the wild Clefairy's Double Slap in effect. Everyone was dumbfounding why the wild Clefairy was attacking Cody who was yelling in pain repeatedly. Ben brought forth his Pokédex and scans the Pokémon.)
Ben's Pokédex: "Clefairy, the Fairy Pokémon. Its magical and cute appeal has many admirers. They are rare and can be found only in certain areas." (The Pokédex explains. Once they heard the analysis, they turn their attention back to a comedic looking Cody getting slaps continuously by the wild Clefairy.)
Ben Jutsuku: Still doesn't explain why Clefairy is attacking Cody. (Ben wondered.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Hmm, either it felt intrude and attack the first of us it saw or… Cody may had once more intrude on its home by accident. (Natsuko explained.)
Cody Anderson (Off-Screen): I (Yell) heard (Yell) that! (Cody replied before he got slapped.)
Cody Anderson (Off-Screen): OUCH! (Cody yelled. Tatsumi, with her eyes covered by her bangs, frowns.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Perhaps, perhaps not. I'd understand if my hometown had been invaded. But an unprovoked strike as a response for passing by the mountain… (Tatsumi paused. Soon, everyone but Ben and Natsuko, were reacting in fear as a dark aura embodied Tatsumi. The next scene would show a sight that would be in their nightmares for the rest of their lives. Tatsumi's glare was a terrifying sight that was pure, unadulterated horror, but with a protective nature.)
Tatsumi Akeito: I cannot abide such actions like this to go unpunished! (Tatsumi roared. Then she brought out a Poké Ball and threw it.)
Tatsumi Akeito: To battle, Dracoza! (Tatsumi said as the Poké Ball brought out her Charmander.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmander): | I'm ready, Tatsumi! | (Dracoza reports. The wild Clefairy was… still slapping the sense at the yelling Cody. Suddenly, Dracoza, with Metal Claw, charge forth toward Clefairy.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmander): | Leave Cody ALONE! | (Dracoza demanded before she SLASH! Lands a direct hit at Clefairy with Metal Claw, which was super effective.)
Wild Clefairy: | OW! | (The Clefairy, female, yelled in pain after she lands roughly away. Slowly, the gritted Clefairy get up on her feet. Soon, she charges with Pound.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Dracoza, counter with Scratch! Evade her movements! (Tatsumi commanded. Dracoza charge toward, dodging Celfairy's Pound, and lands a Scratch at her. A cute looking enraged Clefairy didn't like it as she puffs. She tried to use Pound again, but…)
Tatsumi Akeito: Parry that move and deliver a wrathful Scratch! (Tatsumi commands. Dracoza dodges the Pound again just she delivers another Scratch at the wild Clefairy. This move is repeated four times now. The wild Clefairy pants repeatedly for the number of damages it gains and the loss of HP.)
Wild Clefairy: | You! Y-you won't beat me! I won't be f-forced out of my home and left my fellow Clefairy behind! | (Clefairy mustered while panting. Despite her unfazed expression, Dracoza has gain a newfound respect for the Clefairy.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmander): | Tatsumi and I appreciate a worthy opponent with an unbreakable will. However, like her, I cannot overlook your sudden attack on one of our comrades. | (Dracoza said. Clefairy growls. The wild Clefairy jumps very high, much to the others' surprise. Soon, a serious Clefairy face her target on her front, using the move Body Slam. Dracoza gasped lightly.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Quickly, Dracoza! Dodge it! (Tatsumi commands quickly. Dracoza manages to dodge the Clefairy's Body Slam just in the nick of time. CRASH! However the impact of the wild Clefairy's Body Slam caused the ground it lands on to break apart. While Clefairy was slowly getting up. Ezekiel, Cody, and Akina were having pure white eyes in hysterical expression, Natsuko, Ben and Tatsumi were speechless at the immense strength the wild Fairy Pokémon still has.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Such strength. And adding its unyielding spirit and agility. (Tatsumi admits. Clefairy, despite being severely weaken, is ready to fight. Tatsumi forms a proud smirk at the decision she makes.)
Tatsumi Akeito: (I have made my decision.) Dracoza, watch her movements. I am going to add us another member in our party. (Tatsumi ordered. Dracoza was surprised by this, but after facing this Fairy Pokémon in this battle, she and her trainer felt this was right. Clefairy leans in as it uses Double Slap.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Intercept with Metal Claw! (A serious Tatsumi barked. Charging up, Dracoza caught Clefairy by the hands. Neither Pokémon were willing to let go or get beaten. That's when Tatsumi brought out her Poké Ball.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Now, charge forth, Poké Ball! (Tatsumi said! The Poké Ball lands its mark, the wild Clefairy is beamed inside. The Poké Ball is shaking as the process begin, Once… Twice… Thrice… CLICK! The catch was a success! Tatsumi grabbed the Poké Ball containing her new Pokémon. Her pose is a spin as she raised her right arm in the air holding her Poké Ball and thrusted his left arm down as she smiles with stars flashing in her eyes.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Victory! I have seized a Clefairy! (Tatsumi exclaimed proudly. Dracoza cheers proudly and as she approaches Tatsumi, the latter knees down and hugs her partner Pokémon in happiness and pride of their hard work. The rest of the Braving were also proud of their teammates' accomplished catch as well.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Very good, Dracoza. With you by my side, we will be victorious. (Tatsumi praised. Dracoza smiles.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmander): | Thank you, Tatsumi. Together we can bring victory! | (Dracoza spread her arms, just as she glows in a white and blue light. Everyone was surprised by this turn of event.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Dracoza…? (Tatsumi mustered.)
Ben Jutsuku: It looks like she's evolving! (A realized Ben finished. Once the evolution finishes, Dracoza has evolved into a Charmeleon.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmeleon): (ROAR) (Dracoza replied. However, she didn't go into a rampage or express arrogance. She simply observes her newly claws and evolved arms and feet.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmeleon): | It seems all our hard work finally paid. I am now a Charmeleon. | (She exclaimed. The next scene came. It shows Tatsumi's Clefairy, after coming out of her Poké Ball, was facing a slight bandaged Cody. Clefairy looked a bit shy, but with a feeling of regret of her past actions.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Now what do you say, young lady? (Tatsumi asked but with a serious frown.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | Ah, Cody. I'm sorry for slapping you the way I did. I was just worried I couldn't find help when I ran into you and the others, but I was wrong for accusing all humans are alike. | (Clefairy apologizes. Cody's frown turns into a calm, warming smile as he kneels down and rubs her head.)
Cody Anderson: Don't worry. You were just scared and protecting yourself. It's not like you're the first wild Pokémon that attacked me at first glance. (Cody reassures.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Relax, Pidgeotto. This is what humans call a reference. You and I may be the first Pokémon that attacked Cody, but we certainly won't be the last. | (Pikachu reassures. Pidgeotto relaxed for a bit before both he and Pikachu widen their eyes in shock by what Pikachu said.)
Cody Anderson's Pidgeotto: | Wait! Does that mean there's gonna more wild Pokémon attacking Cody in the future? | (A worried Pidgeotto asked. Pikachu stares at Pidgeotto without his expression changed.)

Akina Sakata: So, what do we do, Cody? (Akina asked. Before answering, Cody gasped as the rest of his teammates were waiting for his instructions.)
Cody Anderson: Ahh? Why's everyone staring at me like that? (Cody asked, fearing for the answer. A serious Tatsumi let out a smile.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Well, is it not obvious by now? (Tatsumi teases. Akina smiles at this realization. Ben, Ezekiel and even Natsuko shared this sentiment.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Of course. Though we will still work and decide as a group as well. (Natsuko expressed.)
Akina Sakata: Yeah, why didn't I recognize it before. (Akina added.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: (Laugh) (Laugh) Even I could tell, and I still have a lot to learn about the real world, eh. (Ezekiel said.)
Ben Jutsuku: Cody. It's obvious that out of all six of us, you should be the Braving Charizard's leader. Our leader. (Ben explained. Once this hit, Cody widens his eyes/opened his mouth in shock. All of the others want him to be their team leader.)
Cody Anderson: Huhhhh! Wait, you want me to be the leader!? (Cody said. In all the time Cody had been on Total Drama, he never thought he would be leader-material.)
Akina Sakata: Yeah, Cody. You're perfect for the role. You did, after all, reach third place in Total Drama World Tour. (Akina said in encouragement.)
Cody Anderson: Still, I don't want it. (Cody replied.)
Ben Jutsuku: Maybe not, but we do need your expertise on the Total Drama you have if we are to make it to the merge. (Ben explained. Cody was amazed by Ben's logic.)
Tatsumi Akeito: They do say that those who want the job the least are most suited to the task. (Tatsumi added. Cody signs in "defeat." Afterwards, he pulled himself together and got serious.)
Cody Anderson: Alright. I'll do, but if I'm gonna do this, I'll need a second-in-command with strategy planning. (Cody said, staring at Ben.)
Ben Jutsuku: I will do everything to help you and our team, my lord. (Ben said sincerely, but with a slight play on the "lord" part. Flashing red blushes briefly, Cody got over it and got serious.)
Cody Anderson: Still, if Clefairy ran into us in such a hurry then that would mean there are still some Team Rocket members here. Maybe even in the summit of Mt. Moon. (Cody said.)
Cody Anderson: Natsuko. Ezekiel. Can you two head back to Pewter and turn those two grunts to the authorities. We'll meet up at the summit. (Cody asked. Incredibly, Ezekiel carried both grunts in his arms. Natsuko bows as she left with Ezekiel.)
Ben Jutsuku: I'll scout ahead to find the exit. (Ben volunteers. Cody nods. Then he turns toward Akina and Tatsumi.)
Cody Anderson: Akina. Tatsumi. How do you feel about joining to rescue some Clefairy from Team Rocket. (An excited Cody asked. Both Akina and Tatsumi replied by making the same excited smirk.)
[Kanto Route 2 – Kanto]
(It's the afternoon in Pewter City, and outside at Route 2 was Heather battling a wild Rattata with her newly catch Nidoran , using Double Kick and defeated the wild Pokémon as it fainted. Nidoran pants lightly. Heather scans her Nidoran and checks her new level and moves: Nidoran Gender: Level: 13 Moves: Scratch, Tail Whip, Poison Sting, Double Kick)
Heather Hamilton: Finally! I've levelled up my Pokémon. Time to face Brock again! (A smirking Heather declares.)
Noah Thomas (Off-Screen): Don't be cocky, Heather. (Noah said. Irritated, Heather turned to see Noah laying back on a tree with his arms on the back of his head.)
Heather Hamilton: Geez. What are ya doing out here? Didn't you and Daisuke already earn your badges? (Heather said.)
Noah Thomas: Yep, but sometimes I like to relax after a long day of studying, exercising, training and planning. (A seemingly chilled Noah responded. A glaring Heather wasn't buying it.)
Heather Hamilton: Alright, who are you and what have you done with the real Noah? (Heather demands. Noah rolls his eyes in annoyance.)
Noah Thomas: Already! Already! Daisuke asked me to look after your progress with your Pokémon and to see if Alejandro made it back from Viridian Forest. (Noah said truthfully.)
Heather Hamilton: You actually listen to someone? And to a newbie? (An incredulous Heather responded. Noah shrugged.)
Noah Thomas: He may be new to this competition, but when it comes to Pokémon, he's a natural. Plus, he has a true gift with words. (Noah explained. Noah frowns.)
Noah Thomas: He's more trustworthy and patient than you. (Noah dryly taunted. Heather growls quietly.)
Heather Hamilton: I'll have you know Alejandro-
Alejandro Burromuerto (Off-Screen): Has returned from exile. (Both Heather and Noah widen their eyes and turned to see Alejandro, well rested and with no injuries on his person, coming out of the building. Alejandro goes to Heather's side.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Miss me, mi amor? (Alejandro asked knowingly. Heather pretends to be looked away, but the blushes appeared, and she couldn't ignore them.)
Heather Hamilton: Well… yeah. I'm glad you're not… hurt. (Heather mustered despite struggling not to be affectionate to her boyfriend in front of others. A smirking Noah nodded playfully. After a quick kissing session, Heather heads off to the Pewter Gym but stop as she grabbed Noah by the shirt.)
Heather Hamilton: If you dare tell anyone about this, I will destroy you!(Heather warns Noah. He shrugged in agreement. Heather left, but Alejandro paused.)
Noah Thomas: Did ya find the Mew immunity idol? (Noah asked. Alejandro shook his head.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: No such luck. I scouted every part of that forest, took on a horde of Beedrill and nothing! (Alejandro replied with controlled rage. After calming down.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: But it wasn't a complete failure. I did level up my Pokémon well. Too well that my Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. (Alejandro added. Noah widens his eyes in surprise.)
Noah Thomas: You actually evolved your starter Pokémon to its first stage!? (An incredulous Noah mustered.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Don't not be so surprised, amigo. Unlike the rest of our fellow competitors from Total Drama, I'm a fast learner. (Alejandro answered. Noah slapped himself for forgetting the fact that Alejandro grew up with a diplomat for a father. The scene changes to a restaurant called Diamond's, which is best known for yakinku or grilled meat using flints, as Daisuke was having a nice dinner with Misty.)
Alejandro Burromuerto (Off-Screen): What are the others doing right now? (Alejandro asked.)
Noah Thomas (Off-Screen): Right now, Daisuke is going out with that Misty girl we met the other day. (Noah answers. Daisuke told Misty a swim team joke and she laughed. The next scene shows Folgia barely dodging the Dragon Rage attacks being fired at from Kayoko's Charmander. A sweating Anne Maria effortfully commands her Folgia and using moves like Leech Seed to aim hit perfectly on Charmander, but Kayoko wasn't going easy on her.)
Noah Thomas (Off-Screen): And right now, Anne Maria, after realizing her rematch will be at night if she failed to increase her only Pokémon's level, Kayoko volunteered to mentor her into a more capable trainer. (Noah finished. The scene changes back to Noah and Alejandro.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: I suppose good to hear. With only Heather Anne Maria and I still needing our Boulder Badges, we must ensure our victory if we are to win the next challenge. I doubt that snake Chris would make it a non-elimination round. (A serious Alejandro stated.)
Noah Thomas: For once, we agree. (Noah replied.)
Heather Hamilton (Off-Screen): Alejandro! Are ya done talking to the dry mouth over there. It's time I ear- I mean we earn our badges! (Heather shouted. Noah rolled his eyes, simply ignoring the comment. Alejandro merely shook his head playfully.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Ay, ay. The things I do for love. (With that said, Alejandro left for Pewter Gym.)

Noah Thomas: Yeah, even after being informed and seeing it with my own eyes, it's still hard to believe that the eel and queen bee are an actual couple. (Noah admits.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
(At the Pewter Gym, Brock was standing on the trainer goal facing off against Alejandro, after taking a quick shower and grooming, stared pridefully. Brock stares off fiercely at his new Gym Challenger. Since Chef was away, a Gym referee was in his place. Out of the blue, Alejandro took off his red buttoned shirt and white t-shirt in a reverse way. Light shines upon him, showing his strong, marbled Spaniard chiseled body as he posed a fist bended on hip one. Spanish music was being play on the background. Sensing a kindred spirit, Brock also took off his green vest and orange shirt. Like with Alejandro, light beams on him, and his body was shining of bulk and chiseled his muscles are. The Raging Gyarados sitting on the stands, were dumbfound or speechless of how gorgeous and strong both the Solid Rock Trainer and the Fuego Spaniard Trainer are. They do muscle biceps flexing; followed by push-ups and sit ups; next were lifting large boulder above their head; and finally after launching a punch in front of them, mentally sending an air punch at the other. Once he stop posing, Brock smirks kindly and Alejandro… also smirked kindly. Both young men acknowledge their physical and mental strength.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Well? (Alejandro asked kindly.)
Brock: Hmm. I must say you are indeed a fellow rock-solid trainer. All I can say is you train your Pokémon vigorous and allow them to rest. I think our warmups has been concluded. Shall we? (Brock stated all of that. Both Trainers brought out each a Poké Ball.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Nidoran, ¡peleemos! (Alejandro expressed with a Spanish word. Coming out of his Poké Ball was Nidoran readying to battle.)
Alejandro's Nidoran : | I will not bring vergüenza to you and the rest of our party, Alejandro. | (Nidoran replied.)
Brock: A Poison-Type. Now I'm intrigued. Go, GEODUDE! (Brock yelled before he threw his Poké Ball and out came Geodude.)
Brock's Geodude: | I will not fail you, Brock! | (Geodude said to his Trainer. Soon both the Poison Pin Pokémon and Rock Pokémon stared off as the ref raised his arms.)
Pewter Gym Referee: Let the first match… BEGIN! (He announced. Soon, Nidoran jumped and readies a move as Geodude launches himself forward using Tackle.)
[Mt. Moon Summit – Mt. Moon – Kanto]
(During their travel to the summit, Cody, Akina and Tatsumi were making progress with their training and objective to stop Team Rocket. Tatsumi heals and leveled her Charmeleon Dracoza, Clefairy and newly caught Onix. Cody was making great progress for Squirtle, Pikachu and Pidgeotto. As did Akina with her Squirtle Shelliya, Rika, Pidgey dubbed Pigi, new Zubat Zuri, and Butterfree Chobito. Currently, a lot of wild Clefairy were trapped in nets while some Clefairy that haven't been spotted were nervously hiding out. Hope seems lost until… CRASH! A pair of Team Rocket Zubat were laying on the ground, fainted. And the ones responsible was Tatsumi and her Clefairy. With Cody using Pikachu and Akina using Jigglypuff in battle.)
Cody Anderson: Thunder Shock! (Cody orders. Pikachu fires a stronger Thunder Shock.)
Akina Sakata: Give it a good Pound, Jigglypuff! (Akina commanded. Jigglypuff inhales to puff and move to swipe in a direct hit at a shocked Drowzee while Pikachu's Thunder Shock hits a Zubat directly. Both Team Rocket Pokémon were screaming in pain. Afterward, they fainted. Both the grunts who own them were shocking surprised that their Pokémon were beaten.)
Team Rocket Grunt #3: What in the world? Our Pokémon? (The male underling exclaimed in disbelief.)
Team Rocket Grunt #4: They're defeated!? But we're Team Rocket. (The female underling mustered. Just as the third grunt was going to make a run for it, Cody placed a leg that broke his stance. The grunts yelled in pain.)
Cody Anderson: And you think that entitles you to rob Trainers and people of their Pokémon!? (A mad Cody replied.)
Cody Anderson: Robbing and selling Pokémon for profits are dirty money. You aren't just stealing another person's Pokémon but the memories they make. Pokémon aren't weapons, they're our friends. But what would a bunch of crooks like you would know about that. (Cody finished before he delivers a fist at the grunt to the face. POW! Grunt #3 groans painfully as he fell to the ground unconscious. Cody turns his attention to the startled female grunt.)
Team Rocket Grunt #4: Ah! Y-you w-wouldn't hurt a girl, would you? (A pleading grunt asked. Cody paused with a frown.)
Akina Sakata: But I would! (Akina answered as she jumped over him and delivers a wicked kick! It sends the female grunt to the ground on her back and knock her out. Akina was by Cody's side. However Cody looked ashamed that he couldn't do it himself. Akina put her hand on his shoulder. Cody noticed the gesture and looked at her with a curious look.)
Akina Sakata: Don't be ashamed that you didn't take her down. Harming women and girls is not in your nature and you know it. Never change who you are in the inside Cody. (Akina reassures. Cody turns his frown into a small smile, regaining some confidence. However, he widens his eyes due to the longer time spend Akina's hand was in place. Noticing this herself, A gasped Akina let go of him quickly. Akina made a small blush on her cheeks.)
Akina Sakata: Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean- (Cody held his hands in a placating gesture.)
Cody Anderson: Don't sweat it! I gotta thank ya for raising my morale up. And as for the hand holding on me. It was nothing bad. (Cody said.)
[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(A smiling Cody was thrilled about his real feeling with Akina's gesture and support. With Pikachu by his side.)
Cody Anderson: Alright! I know I probably mentioned this several times, but I am so glad I have Akina in my team. Sure she's beautiful but looks aren't everything. She's very caring, supportive, and understanding. And the hand she placed on me wasn't bad. It was wonderful! (Cody expressed with thumbs up.)
Cody Anderson: Maybe when we win the next challenge and the next badge in Cerulean, I will tell Akina how I really feel about her. Together we can be the best couple there is! (Cody exclaimed. Pikachu taps on his shoulder.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | You do realize that we're in a competition and sooner or later, you two may have to battle to stay in the game? | (Pikachu stated the obvious, which freaks Cody out.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah, I nearly forgot. What do I do? (Cody said after face palming himself.)
[Futuristic Click]
[Mt. Moon Summit – Mt. Moon – Kanto]
(Clefairy jumped back close to Tatsumi. She was panting repeatedly due to the constant training and battling she did with those Zubat the fifth and sixth grunts had. Tatsumi eyed her Fairy Pokémon, with a stone hard expression, but behind it was a sensation of concerns for her new Pokémon.)
Tatsumi Akeito: (Clefairy?) (Tatsumi thought.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Hey! Girl! (The voice of the six, rather the grunt captain of the operatives on Mt. Moon, drew Tatsumi's attention back to him.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Tell me, are you the leader of this... group? (The arrogant captain asked. Tatsumi ignores the remark of calling her team worthless.)
Tatsumi Akeito: There's no such thing. We work as a team. Which has no concern for you because we are going to take you down! (Tatsumi replied. Of course, the part on the no leader was lie. Before reaching the summit, Cody instructed the girls to not mentioned who is leading their team so that no Team Rocket grunt would counterattack on him should he ever go off on his own. Thankfully, the grunts were buying it.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: (Laughing arrogantly) A team led by committee is one that will be destined to fall. Luckily for me, it works fine for our victory. (The grunt captain remarks as he brought out another Poké Ball. Soon, both he and his remaining subordinate threw their Poké Balls.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Go, Raticate! (He yelled)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Come out, Rattata! (He also yells. Coming out of the Poké Ball was a Rattata and the one next to it is a large, rodent-like Pokémon, standing in its hind legs, primarily tawny-colored with a cream underside, has narrow black eyes, ears with ragged edges and dark insides, and large incisors that grow constantly, three whiskers on each side of its face, which it uses to maintain balance and short arms with three-fingered hands and webbed feet with three toes. The three Braving Charizard were amazed to see a pair of Pokémon there are part of an evolution line.)
Akina Sakata: Whoa, Rattata and Raticate. (Akina exclaimed.)
Cody Anderson: Both of evolutionary line Pokémon before our very eyes. (Once he was done saying it, Akina and Cody brought out and scan the Pokémon with their Pokédex.)
Akina's Pokédex: "Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. It bites anything when it attacks. Small and very quick, Rattata are a common sight in many places." (The Pokédex reports.)
Cody's Pokédex: "Raticate, the Mouse Pokémon. The Evolved Form of Rattata. It uses its whiskers to maintain its balance. However, it apparently slows down if they are cut off." (The Pokédex finished.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Raticate, Focus Energy! (He orders. Raticate concentrates its energy to its focus.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Use Quick Attack! (He orders. Rattata charges forth to attack.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Incept Rattata with Pound! (Tatsumi counters. Clefairy nods. Soon both Mouse and Fairy Pokémon clashed in a bit of a stalemate.)
Team Rocket Rattata: | Wait! I know you. You're that Clefairy that ran away? What? You couldn't leave without saying goodbye to your pack. | (The Rattata cruelly taunted. Clefairy gritted her teeth while staying focus on the battle.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | No. I came to rescue my family from you and the bad humans you work for! Lucky for me, I made some new friends. I'm gonna make Tatsumi proud for coming to my aid. | (Clefairy said. With such resolve, Clefairy's strength increased as she finally pushes back Rattata and lands a Pound hard at Rattata so hard... POW! It made a comical looking Rattata squeaks in pain.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Commend with Double Slap! (Tatsumi commands. Clefairy lean forth and commence with the slapping sessions. SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! During the slaps Rattata closed one eyes and kept one open but was bulged as big as dinner plates. Before another order could be send, the grunt captain's Raticate use Hyper Beam and fires it at the yelling Clefairy.)
Tatsumi Akeito: (Gasp shockingly) Clefairy! (Tatsumi yelled in concern. Clefairy struggles but eventually got back up. The fifth grunt fist pumps at the sight of possible victory.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Yes! Way to go, captain! (He gloated.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Focus on the battle, you idiot! Attack while my Raticate recharges. (The captain orders. Raticate was panting tiredly. Scared, the grunt quickly salutes to his superior.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: A-ah? Yes sir! Rattata use Iron Tail! (He orders. The Rattata charges with its Iron Tail and in a single swipe, lands a vicious hit at Clefairy, who yells painfully from the super effective move. Clefairy lands roughly on the ground.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: (Pant) (Pant) (Pant) (Clefairy said tiredly.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Now, finish this Clefairy off with Quick Attack. (He orders. Rattata use Quick Attack and just as it was closer to deliver the finishing blow... SMACK! However it was not Clefairy that got hit, but a protective Tatsumi, who jumped into her Pokémon's side and used her gauntlet-cover forearm to take the attack. Tatsumi's stare tightens while enduring the pain. Soon, Rattata flip jumped back to its trainer's side. Clefairy was confused by this act from her trainer. Cody and Akina were surprised but impressed.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Clefairy! Fall back! I need to return you back in your Poké Ball. (Tatsumi said. Clefairy shook her head.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | No! I am not leaving my family behind so they could take to somewhere who knows to make them do bad things! I swore that I would take these two lowlifes- | (However Clefairy paused as a few tears dropped on her surprise face.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Please... please understand. What good can you be to your Clefairy family if you're dead. (Tatsumi pleaded. Clefairy was speechless that her trainer, a human, was crying concerning her safety instead of herself. Clefairy originally thought all humans were alike due to Team Rocket's action on her and her family of Clefairy. However, by act of kindness from Tatsumi is prove that she was wrong.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | Tatsumi, I understand and I'm sorry you got harm because of my rash actions. | (Clefairy apologizes. After recovering, Raticate growls eagerly.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Finally! Raticate, you are ready to resume. Raticate, finish this with Bite! (He orders. Raticate's fang glows in Dark Type energy and just as it was close to its target... A wave of supersonic hit the Raticate, causing him to be in a state of confusion. Both sides were confused by this. As a Zubat appears on the Braving Charizard, so too did Ben.)
Ben Jutsuku: Excellent work, Boompire! (Ben commented. The Zubat, nicknamed Boompire, belongs to Ben.)
Everyone (Braving Charizard): Ben! (They said in unison.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Tch! Another one!? (The annoyed grunt captain said.)
Ben Jutsuku: Boompire, return! (Ben said, beaming Boompire back to his Poké Ball. Ben brought out another Poké Ball containing another Pokémon, showing his belt containing a full party of six Pokémon.)
Ben Jutsuku: Fightermonkey, It's Hero Time! (Ben yelled at he threw the Poké Ball. Brought out was Ben's Mankey, nicknamed Fightermonkey.)
Fightermonkey (Ben Jutsuku's Mankey): | Time to fight! Let's do this together, Ben! | (Fightermonkey stated.)
Ben Jutsuku: Sorry I'm late, guys. I manage to find the exit while taking out the remaining Team Rocket grunts, acquire another fossil from a Pokémon Nerd, you know typical things for us. (Ben said in a casual tone. Cody smiles back.)
Cody Anderson: Just another day in the office, right? (Cody replied to his second-in-command. Ben turns to the grunt captain but got serious.)
Ben Jutsuku: This battle is gonna end, Team Rocket. I had a little chat with your underlings. You were not only going to take these Clefairy away from their home, but you're planning to get that giant boulder comprised of Moon Stones so you can evolve other comparable Pokémon and deprave this mountain of its resources for profits. (Ben deducts. The grunt captain gritted his teeth in fury.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Damn it, of all... DAMN IT! Raticate, use Hyper Fang! (He roared. Raticate obeys as its fang was covered in Normal Type energy as he charges forth.)
Ben Jutsuku: Use Low Kick! (Ben orders. Fightermonkey manage to evade Raticate and his move, and he use Low Kick that caught Raticate off guard, but lands roughly from the super effective move. While both the grunt captain and Ben were doing battle, back to the fifth grunt, Tatsumi applied Potion on Clefairy, but her stamina still needs time to recover. The grunt was shocked as he was watching the battle between his superior and Ben.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Not going to attack? Some Team Rocket grunt you are! I'm more than man enough to face danger, unlike you. (Tatsumi taunts her opponent. The grunts growl.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: You asked for it! Rattata, finish off her Clefairy with Iron Tail! (He screamed. Rattata prepared his Iron Tail and flips toward the still recovering Clefairy. Embracing for impact, Clefairy stares hard fearlessly. However, coming out of her Poké Ball was... Akina's Jigglypuff who grabbed the Rattata's Iron Tail, much to his and the grunt's shock. Tatsumi gasped lightly. Suddenly, Jigglypuff was taking damage until of the surprise Clefairy.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | Ji-Jigglypuff!? | (Clefairy wondered.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | You... will... not... harm my friend... ANYMORE! | (Jigglypuff yelled as she threw Rattata a few feet away but got some damage from the impact.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: RATTATA! (He yelled in a sad tone.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Jigglypuff? (A speechless Tatsumi spoked. Akina got to Tatsumi's side.)
Akina Sakata: I apologize if we interrupted your battle, Miss Akeito. It's the work of Jigglypuff's Ability Friend Guard. It reduces the damages done to allies by protecting them from opposing Pokémon. Even if the Pokémon with Friend Guard take half of that damage. (Akina explained all that.)
Akina Sakata: This approach may not be honorable, but it's the best way we can beat Team Rocket. I'm sorry. (Akina said with sincere honesty. Tatsumi, though serious, nodded.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Don't be. In truth, when fighting criminals and enemies who do not have the same honorable morals, I wasn't going to expect a fair fight. (Tatsumi said truthfully.)
Ezekiel Landwirt (Off-Scene): Mind if we tag along, eh? (The Braving Charizard briefly turned to see their two remaining teammates have finally return.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Pardon our tardiness, Cody. We had to battle Team Rocket reinforcement. The police will be on both entrances of the mountain. (Natsuko reports. Cody smiles at this.)
Cody Anderson: Good thinking, Natsuko. (Cody comments. Everyone heard the news Natsuko said. For the Team Rocket members they were shocked by this, or enraged for the grunt captain, but for the Braving Charizard, they were relieved and thrilled.)
Akina Sakata: Good! Now we can fight without holding down. (A satisfied Akina exclaimed. A smirking Tatsumi nods.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Akina, what do you say we finish this battle with one slamming move. (Tatsumi asked. Confused at first, a realized Akina figured out what Tatsumi has in mind. Akina smiles proudly.)
Akina Sakata: It would be my pleasure, Miss Akeito! (Akina replied. Understanding their Trainers, a smirking Jigglypuff and Clefairy hold hands as they have a plan in store.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: I won't let you! Rattata, finish them off with Iron Tail! (A realized grunt command quickly. Rattata charged up another Iron Tail and ran toward both Fairy and Normal/Fairy Type Pokémon.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Never underestimate...
Akina Sakata: The Power of the Braving Charizard! (Akina finished.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Clefairy...
Akina Sakata: Jigglypuff...
Tatsumi & Akina: Use Body Slam and FINISH This Battle! (They finished in unison. Both Clefairy and Jigglypuff dodges the shocked Rattata as his Iron Tail miss its target. Clefairy and Jigglypuff jumped very high, but with more strength and momentum on their side. Clefairy and Jigglypuff yells fiercely as their combo Double Body Slam lands a directly hit at the fear struck Rattata. CRASH! Once the dust set, both Clefairy and Jigglypuff got off the fainted Rattata.)
Akina Sakata: We DID IT! (Akina squeals in excitement. Tatsumi fist bumps on her armor wearing torso in satisfactory.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Victory is ours! (Tatsumi exclaimed. Jigglypuff and Clefairy high five each other with proud smiles.)
Akina Sakata's Jigglypuff: | We won! | (Jigglypuff said.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | We have achieved our objective! | (Clefairy said. Back to the battle with the grunt captain's Raticate, Fightermonkey evades the Fury Swipes of his Mouse Pokémon opponent.)
Ben Jutsuku: Use Karate Chop! (Ben commands. Fightermonkey charges forth and swung his Karata Chop directly at Raticate's head. Due to the move being super effective on Normal Types, Raticate squeals painfully. However, it wouldn't yield.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Good, Raticate! I knew you wouldn't be a coward or a slacker. Unlike some people. (He said while directing his disappointment at his only remaining grunt.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Always with the disappointment, sir. Where's the praises, the good pointers?! (He complains. The grunt captain facepalm at his subordinate's incompetence.)

[Mt. Moon Summit – Mt. Moon – Kanto]
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: I've had enough of this nonsense! Raticate, finish this with Hyper Beam! (The grunt captain commands! Raticate charged and fires Hyper Beam at the unfazed Fightermonkey! ZOOOMMMM!)
Cody Anderson (Off-Screen): Use Withdraw to defend Fightermonkey! (Cody said. Cody's Squirtle, inside his shell, Block the Hyper Beam's target, but redirects it break the knots of the nets, freeing the captive wild Clefairy.)
Wild Clefairy Group: | The nets are breaking. We're free! We're Free! Hooray for the Braving Charizard humans! | (Each Clefairy expressed. Tatsumi's Clefairy sobs happily at the sight of her family being freed from their captivity.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | Everyone! You're free! (Sob) (Sob) | (A teary Clefairy said in rejoice. A small smiling Jigglypuff pats her Fairy Pokémon friend's back to comfort her. Soon, some Clefairy threw boulders at the giant meteorite as Moon Stones were falling from them. A few Clefairy touched one Moon Stone as they are engulfing in a bright light of white and blue, much to the Braving Charizard's surprise.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Whoa! What's happening?! Wait! Are they…?
Natsuko Bushimori: That's right! The Clefairy touching the Moon Stones are evolving! (A smiling Natsuko finished. Their bodies changed. Once the light faded, in place of Clefairy are tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body with long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side, a curled lock of fur hangs over their forehead, much like their long, tightly curled tail and on their backs are a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points, its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.)
Wild Clefable: Clefable! (A wild Clefable yelled. Ezekiel was astonished by this turn of events. Ezekiel rose a brow in curiosity as he brought out his Pokédex.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Clefable, eh? (Ezekiel said as he scans.)
Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Clefable, the Fairy Pokémon. the Evolved Form of Clefairy. A timid fairy Pokémon that is rarely seen. Clefable will run and hide the moment it senses people." (The Pokédex explains.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: WHAT!? NO! (He shouted. Hearing his voice, the Clefairy and Clefable turn to glare at the ones responsible for keeping them prisoners. They quickly surround them, much to their dismay. Squirtle and Fightermonkey stared hard at the nervous and tiring Raticate who was still recharging.)
Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Give it up, Team Rocket! You're not gonna beat us! | (Squirtle said.)
Fightermonkey (Ben Jutsuku's Mankey): | That's right! There's no way you can keep taking on my fist of justice! | (Fightermonkey exclaimed. Squirtle widen his eyes dumbfound and rose a brow, so to speak, at his tag partner.)
Team Rocket Raticate: | There's… not way, I'm gonna lose to a bunch of soft-hearted weaklings like you two! | (A persistent Raticate replied.)
Cody Anderson: Use Water Gun! (Cody said. Squirtle fires Water Gun at Raticate directly.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Fury Swipes, quick! (He commands. Raticate's hands glows to fangs.)
Cody Anderson: Use Withdraw. (Cody counters. Squirtle withdraws back into his shell as Raticate commends his Fury Swipes. Due to Squirtle Defense stats increase, he was stating damage but not greater damage.)
Ben Jutsuku: SEIMIC TOSS! (Ben cried! Responding in an instant, Fightermonkey cause a surprised Raticate in his hold. Once he got up on Squirtle's shell, so too did Squirtle got back on its feet and toss into the air.)
Fightermonkey (Ben Jutsuku's Mankey): | BRACE FOR… SEISMIC PAIN! | (Fightermonkey yelled as he tosses Raticate hard to the ground. CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! Shaking the ground Raticate crash landed on, once the dust cleared, the Team Rocket Raticate fainted. Ben points at the result with a proud smile.)
Ben Jutsuku: All in a day's work for your average heroes! (Ben exclaims. After returning Raticate into his Poké Ball, the grunt captain, enraged, hits the ground with his gloved fist in defeat.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: NO! IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD I LOSE TO A BUNCH OF BEGINNER TRAINERS PLAYING SUPERHEROES!? (He shouted in disbelief. HOVER! HOVER! HOVER! The air was rapidly swirling at a fast pace as both Team Rocket and Braving Charizard members turns their attentions to the sky as a Team Rocket helicopter appears.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: (Sighs angrily) It seems our mission has failed. (He said to himself)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: (The boss won't be happy that we couldn't brought back rare Clefairy and a motherload of Moon Stones.) Hey, rookie! (He shouted. The fifth grunt yelped.)
Team Rocket Grunt #5: Ah! Yes sir! (He quickly salutes. A pair of long ropes was dropped as the grunt captain grabbed a hold.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: It's time to retreat! (He ordered. The fifth grunt nodded repeatedly. The helicopter starts to raise up.)

(Ben was sitting with his Ivysaur, name dubbed Frenzyleaf, on his lap.)
Ben Jutsuku: Sure, we could've taken down that helicopter by its wing blades. However, it would've result in either the copter crashing landing on the Clefairy or at a different part of the mountain, which would've result in deaths. It's one thing to bend the rules during unofficial battles, but a big difference of being better and becoming your own enemy by applying the same methods as them. I won't go down that road. (Ben said.)
Frenzyleaf (Ben Jutsuku's Ivysaur): | That's right. You can't beat enemies if you start to turn to their immoral values and ruthless methods. | (Frenzyleaf added.)
Ben Jutsuku: If we're gonna defeat Team Rocket, we gonna do it in a better method. (Ben said.)

[Mt. Moon Summit – Mt. Moon – Kanto]
(As the two remaining grunts were making a getaway by air, the grunt captain saw the serious glance from the members of the Braving Charizard with their Pokémon.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: It seems I've underestimated you Braving Charizard! For a bunch of Beginner Trainers, you possess such powerful Pokémon, knowledge and skills that enable you to defeat us. However, this small victory is nothing in the grand scheme of Team Rocket's ambition. We are everywhere and feared throughout the Kanto Region! Til then, we're blasting off! (He finished. As they flew away, Cody, Ben, Akina, Tatsumi, Natsuko and Ezekiel were staring hard with a newfound drive of not only on the competition, but to defeat Team Rocket. Afterwards, the scene switched to see all of the Clefairy freed from their nets.)
Wild Clefairy: | Freedom! | (Clefairy exclaimed. Tatsumi cuts off the knots and breaks them off as another Clefairy smiles at her kindly.)
Wild Clefairy #2: | Thank you so much Miss Akeito! | (Clefairy replied to her redhead savior.)
Tatsumi Akeito: It was all on a good day's work. (Tatsumi replied back. Her Clefairy face palm at the comment Tatsumi said.)
Tatsumi Akeito's Clefairy: | Oh no. Is she catching onto Ben's passion for superheroes? | (Clefairy complained. A smiling Dracoza patted her on her head and calms her down. At another part, Ben was freeing more Clefairy, while a young male one was impressed by the display of courage and selfless the Superhero Trainer did for them.)
Wild Clefairy #3: | (Air Exhaled) (Air exhaled) Okay, Clefairy. You can do this. You can do it. | (Clefairy said to himself. Ben was staring at a unique round stone with a complex design; the entirety of the stone was purple, with a white, red and cyan helix symbol in the middle. It basically resembles a cat's-eye marble. He found this marble-like stone from Viridian Forest around the same time as the first challenge. Before he could further study it, Ben felt a tucking on his clothes and turned to see the male Clefairy. Ben quickly put the stone away in his Bag.)
Ben Jutsuku: Oh? Sorry. Did you need something, little guy? (Ben asked nicely. The male Clefairy looked troubled but mustered the courage.)
Wild Clefairy #3: | Well, Mr. Ben, I wanted to thank you and your friends for saving me from Team Rocket. And the way how the Pokémon under your care are so stronger and amazing taking down that Raticate. Also, I thought it was cool the way you brought out and shouted that catchphrase as you bring out a Pokémon. What was it called? Oh, yeah! It's Nero Time! | (Clefairy said all of that, even imitating Ben's new line. Ben looked confused before he understood what the Fairy Pokémon before misspelled the wrong word. Ben chuckles kindly.)
Ben Jutsuku: That's a good imitation, but you got one word wrong. (Ben said. The male Clefairy stopped in confusion. Ben strike his signature pose.)
Ben Jutsuku: "It's Hero Time!" (Ben declares. The wild Clefairy was dazzled by how heroic and powerful Ben is.)

(Inside the confessional, was the same Clefairy who still had dazzling eyes.)
Wild Clefairy #3: (Golly! To think having a Pokémon Trainer could not only increase a Pokémon's strength, but we could have our own opinions to be taken into consideration and to battle with style is so liberating. That settles it. I am gonna join Ben on his journey. Watch out evildoers, because here comes Super Clefairy! (Clefairy said after he struck a pose. Flashes of light appeared on the background. ZIP… Silent was in the air, until Clefairy realized it.)
Wild Clefairy #3: Or maybe something better than that nickname. (Clefairy admits.)
[Futuristic Click]
[Mt. Moon Summit – Met. Moon – Kanto]
Wild Clefairy #3: | Mr. Ben, what I'm trying to tell you is… I wanna join your team and be a superhero too! | (Clefairy asked. Ben was silent for a moment before he smiled at how this Clefairy wanted to join him.)
Ben Jutsuku: Really? (Ben asked. Clefairy nodded.)
Ben Jutsuku: In case, welcome aboard! But before I catch you, you need a nickname or a superhero name. Let's see…. You're pink, a Fairy-Type, you are said to be capable of flying and based on the studies that your ancestors originated from space is a long tail…. Wait I…. UH!? (Ben paused upon finding the right name for Clefairy. Everyone including the male Clefairy looked confused until Ben slammed his left fist on his right palm.)
Ben Jutsuku: Of course. That's it! Look, how about I name you… FAIRY TAIL! (Ben revealed. Clefairy gasped mildly before dazzling light on his eyes at the name he will receive.)
Wild Clefairy #3: | That's so cool! Alright! From now I'm Fairy Tail! | (Clefairy, rather Fairy Tail, exclaimed in excitement. Clefairy nodded, liking the nickname. Ben was glad to know. Ben brought out an empty Poké Ball)
Ben Jutsuku: Alright then, Fairy Tail. Let's join together as one! (Ben said as he threw the Poké Ball. Fairy Tail jumped and upon pressing the button, he got sucked into it. The Poké Ball shook once… then CLICK! The capture was a success.)
Ben Jutsuku: Yes! I have just unlocked a new hero! His name is Fairy TAIL! (Ben exclaimed excitably.)

(In her confessional, a cross arm Natsuko was resisting the urge to blush but didn't hold back on her annoyed expression.)
Natsuko Bushimori: "I have just unlocked a new hero!?" (Natsuko repeated another of Sosuke's catchphrases.)
Natsuko Bushimori: No offers, but can Ben find a better, original phrase than that? (Natsuko criticized.)
[Futuristic Click]
(In her confessional, Tatsumi was clapping in applause for Ben having said such a "wonderous" catchphrase.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Splendid! Truly Splendid! While I normally get groans at cheesy remarks, Ben's catchphrase are indeed one of a kind. The result of a real hero. How I aspire that my knight ones will be a match with his hero ones. I imagine should the day of our battle comes; it will be legendary. (Tatsumi exclaimed boldly and hyperactively. However, she paused and realized something.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Yet? Would he still find me attractive despite whoever wins? (Tatsumi asked.)

[Pewter Gym, Pewter City – Kanto]
(Inside the Pewter Gym, Heather's Squirtle finally defeated Geodude after he fired Water Gun at him.)
Chef Hatchet: Geodude is unable to battle! Squirtle wins this match! (Chef announces. Brock retreated his Geodude back to his Poké Ball. Heather fist pumps at this.)
Heather Hamilton: Finally! We are making progress. Impressive work out there Squirtle. (Heather said. Squirtle smiles and gave her a thumb up in response.)
Brock: I must say, you have gotten better since this morning. (Brock stated. Heather rolls her eyes. Brock brought forth another Poké Ball.)
Brock: But are you truly ready to defeat my ace and earn my Boulder Badge? (Brock asked. Believing it to be a rhetorical one, Heather glares fiercely.)
Heather Hamilton: Do you have to ask? (Heather remarks.)
Heather Hamilton: Squirtle, return. (Heather said, beaming her Squirtle back into his Poké Ball and brought out her second Poké Ball.)
Heather Hamilton: Nidoran , let's win this challenge! (Heather said after throwing her Poké Ball and out can Nidoran .)
Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : | Alright! Alright! I am very eager to kick butt! | (Nidoran said. Every member of the Raging Gyarados were surprised upon seeing Heather's new Pokémon. Coming out of his Poké Ball was Alejandro's Nidoran . From the bleachers he felt awestruck upon laying eyes on his female counterpart. Soon, Nidoran bulges out big red love hearts, having fallen in love.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Qué en el…!? Nidoran? (Alejandro said before he turns to both Nidoran and realized he has fallen in love with Heather's Nidoran . Seeing as he didn't have a chance of scanning the Pokémon, Noah brought out his Pokédex.)
Noah's Pokédex: "Nidoran , the Poison Pin Pokémon. Although small, its venomous barbs render this Pokémon dangerous. The female Nidoran has smaller horns." (The Pokédex explains.)
Brock: A Poison Type, huh? You are taking the whole outside of the box strategy well, but let's see how she fares with my Onix! (Brock declares! Onix came out and stares down at his opponent.)
Brock's Onix: | So, a newbie. I was expecting the Squirtle, but you could help me warm up. | (Onix remarks. This got Nidoran to growl enraged.)
Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : (Like I care what ten feet plenty of worthless jewels like you have to say. I am gonna win this battle for me and Heather! | (Nidoran said.)
Brock: Use Tackle! (Brock starts. Onix charges forth.)
Heather Hamilton: Dodge it and use Tail Whip. (Heather said. Nidoran narrowly dodges the tackle and jumped on another platform and whips her tail, lowering Onix's Defense stats.)
Brock: Once again, Tackle! (Brock barked. Onix tackles directly at Nidoran however…)
Heather Hamilton: Perfect! Use Counter! (Heather responds. Brock reacted in a shocking expression.)
Brock: Wait, Nidoran knows Counter!? (Brock said shockingly. Onix may have thrusted his tackle at Nidoran , but at the last second, she was glowing an orange aura and grabbed Onix's head with ease.)
Heather's Nidoran : | Whose weak now. | (Nidoran remarked. With that said, Nidoran not only redirected the energy of the Tackle back at Onix but doubled its damaging effect as well.)
Brock's Onix: (SCREAMING PAINFULLY) (Onix lands roughly on his back.)
Brock: Onix! (Brock shouted. Despite the massive damage he received, Onix slowly got back up. Onix was panting repeatedly. A smirking Heather with her arms crossed.)
Heather Hamilton: Alright, Nidoran. I think it's time we finish this battle and earn us some cash and a badge. (Heather said, which Nidoran gave her trainers a thumbs up and a smile.)
Brock: Not if I have something to say about it! Onix use Rock Throw! (Brock yelled. Onix, with the same burning determination, use Rock Throw and hit a boulder toward Nidoran .)
Heather Hamilton: Dodge it! (Heather screeched. Nidoran jumps off the cliff platform as the Rock Throw missed. However, Onix was leaning closer to Nidoran .)
Brock: Now, Bind! (Brock commands. Onix was gonna entraps the Poison Pin Pokémon until, a smiling Heather saw her chance.)
Heather Hamilton: Now, Nidoran! Use Double Kick! (Upon hearing that command, Nidoran leans but with an orange aura flashing on her feet, spins as she kicks once! And… TWICE! The speechless Onix had his mouth opened as he fell on his way to the ground, he was retreated back into his Poké Ball.)
Brock: Onix… You did great out there. You're earn a moment of rest. (Brock said to his Onix before putting the Poké Ball away. Chef raised his arms up.)
Gym Referee: Onix is unable to battle. Nidoran is the winner, which means the victory belongs to Heather Hamilton of Beauceville City! (the Gym referee announces. Heather cheers in victory, even enough to grab her Nidoran and arm hugged her in gratitude.)
Heather Hamilton: We did it! We so did it, Nidoran! We won! (Heather repeated. However they paused she accidently got pricked by the spikes on Nidoran 's back.)
Heather Hamilton: Ow! Note to self, watch out for Nidoran's spikes, especially if its poisonous if you get stinged. (A widen eye Heather said as a purple color appeared in her left bicep, indicating that she got poisoned. A few minutes later, after getting the antidote, Brock proudly presents her winning.)
Brock: Along with the prize money of 1,386 Pokémon dollars and the TM containing Bide. I have for you is the Boulder Badge. You've earned it, Heather. (Brock said. After putting away her money and TM in her bag, Heather grabbed her first badge and smirks narrowly.)

(Heather was smiling with excitement with her Nidoran by her left and Squirtle by her right. Heather was holding her Boulder Badge.)
Heather Hamilton: Yes! I finally did it. I got the Boulder Badge. It's finally mine! All Mine! (Laughing hysterically!) (Squirtle and Nidoran felt a bit awkward at Heather's behavior as they looked at the camera and then back to their trainer.)
Squirtle and Nidoran : | Heather? HEATHER! | (They shouted in unison. Realizing her actions, Heather turns back to her usual personality and then stares at the camera.)
Heather Hamilton: What? I'm not crazy. I'm just… proud and happy that my Pokémon and I have defeated a Gym Leader after two losses. (Heather explained as she crossed her arms with a narrow expression. Still, Nidoran and Squirtle made small smiles as Nidoran hugs her trainer and Squirtle pats Heather to lighten the mood.)

[Pewter City – Kanto]
(Afterwards, Anne Maria, to everyone's surprise except Kayoko, caught another Pokémon, an Oddish nicknamed Erba (Italian for weed), manage to defeat Geodude with Absorb, but loss against Onix, until Folgia came out and narrowly defeats by using Leech Seed and Seed Bomb via her breeding move. And for Alejandro, Nidoran defeated Geodude using Double Kick, but loss against Onix, but the most shocking turn of events was Alejandro's Charmeleon, now nicknamed Fernando, effortlessly defeated Onix using Ember and a set of Metal Claw. Outside of the gym, Alejandro and Brock shook hands after receiving his winnings.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Gracias amigo, for the excellent battle you gave me. (Alejandro said.)
Brock: Think nothing about it, Alejandro. You've earnt it. You may employ power into your battle methods, but you still show respect and compassion toward your Pokémon. (Brock said with an evaluation. Alejandro wasn't bothered but was glad he didn't bring out any negativity between him and his Pokémon.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Good to know. (Alejandro replied.)
Noah Thomas: Alejandro, we really need to get going if we want to catch with the Braving Charizard. (Noah informs a realized Alejandro.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Of course! Well, amigo. Adiós! (Alejandro finished after waving goodbye. Brock returns the gesture with his own and a small smile. Once they were out of sight, kindly Brock shook his head.)
Brock: First Red and now these contestants. Such interesting new trainers I got to battle and meet. I wonder how far this journey will take them. (Brock said.)
Chris McClean (Narrator): How far indeed! All the trainers have finally earned their first gym badges. (Chris said.)
[Mt. Moon Summit – Mt. Moon – Kanto]
(Nighttime has approached and the Braving Charizard set up camp for the night with the wild Clefairy and Clefable. Some Clefable were handing each member their own Moon Stones. Ben recruits a male wild Clefairy who wanted to go with him as he caught him into his Poké Ball until it vanished, rather teleported into the PC Storage Box Ben won. Ezekiel and Natsuko are in charge of cooking dinner. Tatsumi and her Clefairy regaling the tale of the battle that took place today to the younger Clefairy. And Cody and Akina laying down on spare futons stargazing at the night sky together while they were looking with blushes appearing on their faces but with happy and loving expressions on their face.)
Chris McClean (Narrator): Will the Braving Charizard still maintain their lead? (Chris said.)
[Kanto Route 2]
(Currently on their way to second route's Pokémon Center, the Raging Gyarados were doubling their efforts to reach it.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Or will the Raging Gyarados prevail in the second challenge on the road to Cerulean City? Now that Team Rocket has make their first appearance on screen, what kind of diabolical plans they have in store for Kanto and most importantly, our contestants. Find out on the next episode of Total… Drama… POKÉMON ADVENTURE! (Chris finished. Just as they were racing for the Pokémon Center, Alejandro accidentally bumps into a man with a black coat and a top hat. The clash caused the man not only to grunt but dropped his briefcase. Alejandro noticed this.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Señor! I am so sorry for bumping into you like that. (Alejandro apologized.)
Black Coat Man: Oh, there's nothing to apologize. Accidents occur every now and then. It's quite a norm of Pokémon Trainers with their constant travels. (The man said. Alejandro extended his hand.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Still, I offered you a helping hand, no pun intended though. (Alejandro said. The man smiled kindly at this gesture. He accepted the offered hand and finally got back up. The black coat man saw the Poké Balls strapped on Alejandro's belt.)
Black Coat Man: You're a new Trainer, I see. (He stated.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Technically, I am. However I am also on an interdimensional reality TV competition as well. (Alejandro answered.)
Black Coat Man: Competition? (He asked. Alejandro looked troubled to whether or not let this man know the truth of his origin, but since his teammates haven't notice his absence, he had time to spend.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Well, you may not believe this, but I and the rest of my sub team and our opponents in the Braving Charizard are from another world called Earth. We're on our Pokémon Journey while competing against each other to win the total prize of 10 million dollars. (Alejandro said. The man in coat was intrigued by what Alejandro said.)
Black Coat Man: I'll be it. Not only are you and your compatriots are competing on a realty TV show, but you're also Beginner Trainers from another world. It goes to show you how far mankind has come to such accomplishments. (He stated with a smile.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Mucho gracias, señor. (Alejandro replied in Spanish.)
Daisuke Umizawa (Off-Screen): Alejandro! (Daisuke yelled.)
Heather Hamilton (Off-Screen): Hey, Alejandro! Where are you!? (Heather yelled)
Anne Maria Gambino (Off-Screen): Yeah 'cause the last one at the Pokémon Center will have to kiss the second to last playa. (Anne Maria teased.)
Heather Hamilton (Off-Screen): I'll have you know that he's already taken. You, big, butted diva wannabe-
Anne Maria Gambino (Off-Screen): Oh so you a queen, aren't ya. Well, I ain't some daddy's girl that constantly needs protecting. I can hit harder than most boy. (Anne Mari argued as she and Heather began an argument. Alejandro and the Black Coat Man were starting in confusion state. However, Alejandro chuckled nervously.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Mucho siento, señor. I must be going now. I do apologize taking your valuable time away though. (Alejandro finished as he ran to regroup with the Gyarados. The Black Coat Man "smiled" while waving him off.)
Black Coat Man: Oh, perish the thought. You have been quite informative, Alejandro. (He said. Once the Gyarados were out of sight. The Black Coat Man widen his smile in a wicked and sinister way.)
Black Coat Man: Yes, truly informative. Without realizing it. You have given me not only the information of those six teenagers who foiled my Mt. Moon Operation, but now… to learn that you twelve are from another world. (The man stated. As he turned around from the Raging Gyarados's direction, inside his coat on the right side of his suit was a big, capitalized red "R" and the man's eyes were filled with ruthless and ambitious intentions.)
Black Coat Man: It's no surprise that Captain Fukudashi was defeated. Aside three of them, most of them have played a video game based on our world, granting them knowledge and experience of what is to come. Be that as it may… Team Rocket will not be dethrone by these otherworlders or the three kids from Pallet Town… (The scene changed and in a cool graphic display it shows that the man was none other than Giovanni, the Viridian Gym Leader and the Leader of Team Rocket!)
Giovanni (Voice-Over): We will unite both worlds under our Banner! (Giovanni declared.)
[To Be Continued]
[Ending 1 – Primary Colors of Dreams]
[Preview]
Cody Anderson: Last night's stargazing was awesome. I counted 11 constellations on the night sky. (Cody exclaimed.)
Akina Sakata: 19 to be exact. I was smoothing and relaxing to enjoy the moment. (Akina said.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah… Too bad I made us waste so much time to…
Natsuko Bushimori: Cody, there is no profit in regretting of what has occurred. You made the right choice in saving the Zubat and Clefairy. (Natsuko said, assuring her leader for making the right choice.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Your decisions and reasons behind it are prove that you are a warrior, if not in body at the moment than in heart the most. (Tatsumi added.)
Cody Anderson: Geez, thank you guys. (Cody said flattered.)
Ben Jutsuku: We all shown them Team Rocket villains that we aren't gonna let them do as they please. After all, we're all on the road to be heroes. (Ben said.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Heroes? Even me? (Ezekiel asked.)
Ben Jutsuku: Of course. We're friends after all. While we will keep in mind that we're in competition with each other, nothing will break our bond as friends. (Ben assures Ezekiel.)
Anne Maria Gambino: Next time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 004 – Swimming with the Starmie! Behold my peers for Anne Maria's debut into movie starship! (Anne Maria brags proudly.)
Finally after moment of patience and concentration, I have finished with episode 3. To my readers, I truly apologize for the long walk. During my last month of university I was focus on completing several tasks and I have finally graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Graphic Design and a minor in Entrepreneurship. Not only that but last week I finally completed in reaching the max levels of the Dynasty Warriors 9 characters and earned all of the trophies, I'm a True Warrior of the Three Kingdoms! Anyways, I am informing you all that while I will not abort or abandon these stories and the others, I am gonna give it my all to start writing original stories so I can make an actual living. That's why I am gonna be writing on my fanfictions monthly as of this moment so I can make time to design the characters of both divisions, the scenes, research materials and organizing all of my plans. All I ask is if you all would just be patient and continue to live life to the fullest.
Also, yeah Cody has now been named leader of the Braving Charizard. Who knew? Well, I did. Lol! Now that Team Rocket has made their debut, things will only get more interesting. For now, I suppose Team Rocket will consider this failed operation on Mt. Moon as a minor setup and sees the Braving Charizard and Raging Gyarados as little nuisances. Like the Heather was gloating was similar to the one on Total Drama Action when she cut a few locks of Courtney's hair. OMG, I nearly pop a nerve laughing so hard. And despite her hard expression, Natsuko and Tatsumi are really good people inside. I highly doubt that Rattata did any real damage to her hand. Also to inform you not every wild Pokémon consider human beings as bad or evil. They only react like that should they encounter evil humans who was to poach them for nefarious plots, but thankfully there are more heroic humans than villainous ones. Still, the way Kayoko commanded her Charmander to take down both Geodude and Onix not only hard, but it seems a bit ruthless don't you think? Her eyes during battle barely had a look of remorse and regret, but more anger and despair. Yet she is able to hide it from her friends, if any human ones and enemies. However, the only she isn't fooling are Heather and Noah. Also, I originally wanted to add Giovanni in the end of the episode but didn't recognize the Word document was in double space than single space. Recently, I have found the time to revise and install him through. But most importantly, due to the oblivious fact that Alejandro had no idea who Giovanni is, not having played the Pokémon games involving Kanto, he practically expose and prove to Giovanni that the Pokémon World wasn't the only world in existence, but what will occur should any villain organizations learn that there is another world untouched by "naysayers" and Trainers with the power to stop them. At the very least, it will be only believed that Giovanni will set his sights on Earth-1, rather the Fresh TV/Total Drama/6teen/Stoked shared universe.
New Concept
Trainer Titles – These are similar to Trainer classes, but instead of the profession or specific one or two types of their specialties, these are classification or monikers given to trainers that best described and reflect on said Trainers' personality, battle styles, and the Pokémon they use. For the Total Drama Pokémon series and future spin-offs and sequels, these titles will be granted to the Contestant Trainers based on how the fans' perspectives of them. These titles will be bestowed to them by both the fans and the Total Drama Pokémon's joint companies of Fresh TV and Pokémon Inc.
Here's a link for Team Kanto's Trainer Titles:
Raging Gyarados (2nd Place)
Anne Maria Gambino – The Jersey Flower Trainer: It was originally Jersey Shore Trainer before realizing that the inhabitants of the Pokémon World have no idea (yet) of Jersey Shore. Based on how much she uses hair spray and tan sprays, not to mention of how she looks to look fabulous, Anne Maria is Grass and Fairy type Trainer, who admires flowers, plants and have a fantasy of reaching ultimate stardom.
Alejandro Burromuerto – The Fuego Spaniard Trainer: Fuego means fire in Spanish and due to the nationality/ethnicity of his, Alejandro is ambitious and passionate with a burning flame. Despite his history as the most manipulative player, he will incinerate anyone who gets in his way and who would dare to harm those who are precious to him, just like a proud Spaniard would protect his country and familia.
Daisuke Umizawa – The Water Captain Trainer: Daisuke is the swim captain of his high school's swim team. Also, due to his love of water, marine /aquatic wildlife, and military family of his, Daisuke will be catching and have an affinity for Water and Fighting Type Pokémon.
Heather Hamilton – The Cruel Queen Trainer: Based on her old manipulative, backstabbing and meanspirited personality and her role as the main antagonist of Total Drama Island, Heather will no doubt be given this harsh, but fitting title. However that cruelty doesn't extend to Pokémon. After all, like her, her Pokémon will be as "wicked" and her will is law especially for the Ghost and Poison Type Pokémon that pledge their allegiance to her.
Kayoko Ashioku – The Demon Princess Trainer: Despite here seemingly smart and kind appearance, deep inside her burns a fiery ambition of conquest and might. Due to her relations with Lindsay, some would find and call her a blond fool, but underneath the hair was a brilliant mind who would crush the true idiotic opposers and ruthlessly destroy their will and spirit to carry on.
Noah Thomas – The Perfect Scholar Trainer: Due to his constant disinterest of physical activities or to bond with others except for Owen, Izzy and Eva, Noah is an intellectual with a sense of perfectionism. While he will develop bonds with his Pokémon, his affinities will be based on those who are the most powerful (physically) and the most intelligent (mentally) Pokémon to achieve total victory.
Braving Charizard (1st Place)
Akina Sakata – The Sky Princess Trainer: Based on her kind and daring personality, along with her love of birds and Flying Type Pokémon and any with avian abilities will follow her as she soars above the clouds. Akina is still a fletching but once she overcomes the pain of her past, she will finally find the wings she need to fly and provide aid to her team from the air.
Cody Anderson – The Cool Geek Trainer: Based on he was almost close to win Total Drama World Tour and his history as a huge Pokémon fan/gamer, Cody wants to catch Pokémon he know are more cool inside than just their outward appearance and to train them with patience and hard work. Like him, just because a Pokémon started out weak, it doesn't mean they can't be stronger in the future.
Ezekiel Landwirt – The Farmland Protector Trainer: Based on his past as a homeschool farmer in a rural community, Ezekiel is slowly but surely learning to move passed his ignorance and moving in the right direction. His prominent Pokémon Types are Ground Types, but with Normal Types. He is more a protector than a nuisance.
Natsuko Bushimori – The Violet Samurai Trainer: Based on the color of her hair, her current attire, and the bokken she wields, Natsuko will catch Pokémon of various types, most prominently being Grass Types. Like Tatsumi, her prefer will be any Pokémon that can "cut" through more than trees. She was trained since a young age by her father in the art of Kendo and Bushido, training her life as a samurai.
Ben Jutsuku – The Green Superhero Trainer: Due to his love of comic books involving superheroes like DC, Marvel, Image and so forth and on his sense of justice to stand up for what is right without being naïve. That's why, his goal in the season will be not only to win the first season, but to catch all of the Pokémon in Kanto and together with his various Pokémon will be the greatest superhero team ever to be assembled in both the Pokémon World and Earth 1.
Tatsumi Akeito – The Scarlet Knight Trainer: Based on the color of her hair and her armor, Tatsumi will catch Pokémon of various types, prominently Steel-Types. Like Natsuko, her prefer will be any Pokémon that can "cut" through more than trees. She has been trained by her mother in the western art of chivalry, training her life as a knight. Like the western armored warriors, she too will have a sense of justice and cut down the wicked.

List of Pokémon caught: 35
Also, if anyone is reading this fanfiction and other ones I have made, if you're having fun reading them, please don't forget to click the favorite or follow story option and recommend this to any friends or people you know that are fans of either Total Drama or Pokémon to check it out. The only thing I own are this crossover fanfiction, the OCs and some of the Mega Evolution forms and special moves I've/will create in future chapters. As I stated I am hoping that some Fakemon creators would take the time to read my fanfiction and do a collaboration with me. However, I will be patient for that day to arrive and press on to the path I've chosen. My message as an autistic person is that even though you may or may not feel lonely when you're in high school or college, don't forget to have fun along the way, make friends with the right people, and stay true to your passion on what type of career you want. See ya next time.
