Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 004 – Dancing with the Starmie

[Kanto Region – Pokémon Nation] [Pokémon World]

[Cerulean City - Kanto] [August 15th, 2017]

Kaoru Aizawa (Voice-Over): After our Trainers defeated Team Rocket for the first time and completing their gym battle, their journey resumes for the 10 million dollars. (A new, feminine narrator said. Scene shows the Raging Gyarados coming outside of the Pokémon Center on Route 3.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Voice-Over): Oh! Apologizes! I'm not Chris! He's busy with the other regions so I and four others are the new five co-hosts for each region. I'm Kaoru Aizawa, co-host of Kanto. (She said, introducing herself. Next scene shows Noah catching a Pokémon resembles a cross between a cicada nymph and a crab, having an orange shell-like exterior, Kayoko catching an Onix and Anne Maria Gambino catching a Clefairy.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Voice-Over): The Raging Gyarados manage to catch a few Pokémon into their rosters, but not too many because if they have fill up their parties, they can either release it back or send it back to the Trigoku Tower's storage room until they win their own PCs. (Kaoru said. Noah checked his phone for any news, but widen his eyes, before turning them into a smug as he told his teammates where the Braving Charizard are last seen. They rush to the summit, but once they did, there was no sight of them, except for the giant meteorite composed of Moon Stones.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Voice-Over): They were also hoping to catch up with Charizard, but unfortunately… they were too late. (Kaoru said. Scene changes to the Braving Charizard, smiling at the beautiful sight of Cerulean City.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Voice-Over): By the time morning was fast approaching, the Braving Charizard finally made it to their destination: Cerulean City. (Kaoru finished.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Wow! So this is Cerulean City!? (A breath taken Ezekiel exclaimed.)

Ben Jutsuku: It sure is, Ezekiel. Though, I'll admit, I've never seen it like this. The real-world view is a whole lot better than seeing it overworld on a screen! (Ben said. Next scene shows the Braving Charizard in the city, seeing the sights of high-quality boats, a water fountain, and how much of its attributes are of Water-Types.)

Cody Anderson: You know something, I can actually feel the aura this city has for Water-Types. Just look around. (Cody stated.)

Akina Sakata: Even entering, the streets, the buildings and the parks are elegant and calming. (Akina said. Tatsumi looked and spotted a large building with a triangular shape roof, glass-like structure, and a Pokémon League symbol columns between the entrance.)

Tatsumi Akeito: There! The Cerulean Gym. At least we know where our second battle will be held at. (Tatsumi said. BURN! BURN! The sound of Pokémon moves caught the Braving Charizard's attention.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: What was that, eh? (Ezekiel wondered.)

Cody Anderson: It must be a Pokémon Battle. (Cody realized.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: It must be coming north from here, eh. (Ezekiel added thanks to his super-enhanced hearing. Everybody turns to Cody, since he is their voted leader of the sub-team. However, Cody didn't need convincing.)

Cody Anderson: We should go and check it out. (Cody declared. Finally, they arrived at the Pokémon Battle just north outside of Cerulean City. The first Pokémon Trainer was a young man with a red cap, red vest with short white sleeves, jeans, red shoes, possessing brown hair and eyes and white wristbands. The Pokémon he was using was a Pikachu, facing against a Rattata. And the boy facing the other one, had spiky brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a long purple sleeve shirt, black pants, a necklace, and brown boots.)

Gary Oak: Hey now, this is quite a surprise. It seems you and your Pokémon team have made an improvement. Barely up to my level I mean. (Laugh) (Laughing mockingly) (Gary said.)

[Confessional – Office Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Cody, with Squirtle and Pikachu, appears on his desk.)

Cody Anderson: (Sighs annoyed.) Gary Oak. Grandson of famous Pokémon Researcher of the World, Professor Samuel Oak, a Pokémon Prodigy, but an all-time jerk! Usually when I played on the games setting in Kanto, I just ignore those comments and continue with the story but hearing it in person from the horse's mouth is suffocating. (Cody said.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

?: You may have beaten Charmander, Butterfree and Nidoran, but I still have Pikachu by my side. And no matter what I am gonna defeat you, Gary. I plan to win all eight Gym Badges and complete the Pokédex. That includes beating you! (He declared.)

Gary Oak: Tch! You were always more bark than bite. But if you're serious about entering the Pokémon League then you still have a lot of way before you are at my level, Red. (Gary said. One by one, the Braving Charizard were shocking surprise to hear what Gary Oak, as they slowly direct their pupils at the boy closer to their side and realize that he is none other than…)

Ben Jutsuku: D-did…? Did he just say…? (Ben mustered.)

Natsuko Bushimori: I believe so?! (Natsuko replied.)

Tatsumi Akeito: If so then…

Akina Sakata: That means… the boy is…. (Soon all the Braving Charizard, except a confused Ezekiel, bulge out their eyes in white and widen their mouths.)

Braving Charizard (Cody, Akina, Ben, Tatsumi, & Natsuko): THAT RED! "THE" RED! (They shouted simultaneously. Hearing his name, the boy, who is currently a new Pokémon Trainer yet, known in the Contestant Trainers' world is the legendary protagonist of the first-Generation Pokémon games, Red, turns over in confusion and saw the Braving Charizard!)

Red: Huh? (He responded.)

[TDPA Opening 2 – The Beginning]

[Kanto Route 4 - Kanto]

(In the fields of Route 4, Noah's Ivysaur was battling a wild Rattata that while taking initial damages, is currently evading Ivysaur's Razor Leaf. Using the move, Quick Attack, the wild Rattata dodges another volley of Razor Leaf, much to Noah's Ivysaur's surprise. The wild Rattata uses glows as its claws were enhanced. A realized Noah knew this move.)

Noah Thomas: Ivysaur! Embrace for impact! That Rattata is using Fury Swipes. (Noah commanded. Ivysaur nods as Noah's prediction came true.)

Wild Rattata: | Feel the fury of a female Rattata's scorning swipes! | (She said to her opponent. SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRACTH!)

Noah Thomas's Ivysaur: (Grunts Painfully) (Ivysaur lands roughly a few meters before getting back up. Noah sighed in relief that Ivysaur was fine but was curious at the wild Rattata's smart maneuver. Noah couldn't help but develop a newfound respect.)

Noah Thomas: I don't know why I am piquing an interest on a common Pokémon, but… (Noah paused as he brought out his Pokédex and scans the Mouse Pokémon.)

Noah's Pokédex: "Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. It will chew on anything with anything with its fangs. If you see one, it is certain that 40 more live in the area." (The Pokédex reported.)

Noah's Pokédex: "What's more, Rattata's known abilities are Run Away and Guts and a few possessing a hidden ability known as Hustle." (The Pokédex finished its analysis. Upon hearing the data, Noah rose a brow and came up with a thought.)

Noah Thomas: Ivysaur, I came up with something. Let's deliver a few damages, but weaken it, don't beat into fainting. I want to catch it. (Noah explained. This brought surprise to both Ivysaur and the wild Rattata.)

Both (Ivysaur & Rattata): | What!? | (They mustered simultaneously. Watching this battle was Alejandro who just finished defeating a wild Pidgey with his Spearow.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Room]

[Futuristic Click]

(Alejandro appears but with his Spearow resting on his left shoulder.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: With each passing day, more and more I am impressed with Noah's innovations and training capabilities. (A grinning Alejandro exclaimed. But turns his grin into a frown.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: Don't get me wrong, I still dislike him and his laziness, but for the sake of the ten million dollars and to reach the merge, I will ensure this alliance will survive. And if he tries to double cross me, I will sic mi Pokémon with all their might. Isn't that right, pájaro picoteado de lanza (Alejandro said while patting the feathered head of his Normal/Flying type. Spearow hums relaxingly.)

Alejandro's Spearow: (Por supuesto, Alejandro. If any traidores would try or think of betraying you, I'll peck them so hard, they will need eyepatches for the rest of their lives.) (Spearow said, but with a hint of sadistic tone.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Kanto Route 4 – Kanto]

(Exiting Mt. Moon were Heather, Daisuke, Kayoko and Anne Maria, who was finishing spraying hair product on herself. Afterwards, she scans on the Poké Ball containing her newly caught Pokémon with her Pokédex.)

Anne Maria's Pokédex: "Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokémon. It's magical and cute appeal has many admirers. It is rare and found only in certain areas." (The Pokédex explained.)

Anne Maria's Pokédex: "Oddish, the Weed Pokémon. During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds." (The Pokédex finished explaining. Anne Maria grinned happily.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Good. Cause any Pokémon on my party are gonna be… the most FABULOUS Pokémon of the one and only gorgeous Anne Maria Gambino. (Anne Maria gloated.)

Heather Hamilton: Urgh! Americans. They think they own the world like they're freaking kings and queens. (Heather complained. Kayoko shrugged it off. Heather's Nidoran and Alejandro's Nidoran were nuzzling each other's noses.)

Alejandro Burromuerto's Nidoran : | Ah mi princesa preciosa. It was quite elegante of you putting that Onix down with the rest of the gravel. | (Nidoran praised with a few Spanish words added. Nidoran frowns a bit.)

Alejandro Burromuerto's Nidoran : | Lo siento, I had to embarrass myself by losing to that Onix's Bide. It was disgraceful for a male Nidoran like me to lose. | (Nidoran apologized. However, Nidoran nuzzled her beloved nose, cheering him up.)

Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : | Perish the thought, Nidoran-kun. You were amazing at Pewter Gym., You've shown your strength defeating that Geodude, and shown your bravery against that Onix. Plus, I love it when you fought a good battle.) (Nidoran said. Nidoran blushes lovingly.)

Alejandro Burromuerto's Nidoran : (Ah, mi amor! [Spanish: Ah, my Love!] | (He mused as he nuzzles his nose against her lovingly.)

Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : | Ah, 私の愛! [Japanese: Ah, My Love!] | (She replied back. Even though she didn't understand Pokémon language, Heather rolled her eyes, pretending to be annoyed by this display of affection between hers and Alejandro's Nidoran. Then she and the rest of the Raging Gyarados were watching the Pokémon battle between Noah and the wild Rattata.)

Noah Thomas: Use Tackle! (Noah shouted. Ivysaur charges forth to tackle Rattata. The wild Rattata wasn't impressed by this move.)

Wild Rattata: | You and your Trainer don't know better do you? | (Rattata remarked. She uses Quick Attack to evade Ivysaur's Tackle. However, Ivysaur grinned.)

Noah Thomas's Ivysaur: | Actually, we do.) (Ivysaur said.)

Noah Thomas: Ivysaur. Now's our chance! Use Vine Whip and grabbed Rattata by the tail! (Noah commands.)

Wild Rattata: | WHAT!? | (Rattata gasped in shock. Ivysaur brought out his vines and use Vine Whip, gripping Rattata by the tail and then thrust her down to the ground a few times.)

Wild Rattata: (Grunting painfully) (Ivysaur awaits Noah for further orders.)

Noah Thomas: Alright, Ivysaur. Place her down, gently. (Noah said. Carefully, Ivysaur out the wild Rattata on the ground. Soon, Noah got out an empty Poké Ball.)

Noah Thomas: Now, GO POKÉ BALL! (Noah shouted. The Poké Ball spins and lands its hit on the wild Rattata's forehead as she was absorbed inside the Poké Ball. Landing on the ground, the Poké Ball began its shaking. Noah and the rest of the Raging Gyarados were watching with tenseness of the capture process. The Poké Ball shook once… Twice…... THRICE!... CLICK! The capture was a success as Noah grabbed the Poké Ball containing his newest third Pokémon. Noah had a small grin appear on his face.)

Noah Thomas: Excellent! I have acquired a Rattata! (Noah boasted!)

[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Noah was currently sitting on his bed inside his confessional. He had his arms crossed but retains his small grin.)

Noah Thomas: I've always wanted to say that. (Noah admits.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Back to the Braving Charizard at Cerulean. Not only did they encounter Gary again, but they have finally encountered their favorite Kanto protagonist Red. Gary scoffs at the sight of the Total Drama Pokémon Trainers again.)

Gary Oak: Great! You guys again. (Gary said in dismay.)

Red: You know them, Gary? (Red asked.)

Gary Oak: Unfortunately. And so do you. Remember what I told you after I went ahead? That Gramps had been contacted by a TV host named Chris McLean from another world that twelve new Beginner Trainers were coming to Pallet Town to participate in a TV Reality Show called Total Drama Pokémon Adventure. I faced one of them in my battle and it was close one. (Gary replied. Ezekiel struggles not to laugh, while Natsuko and Tatsumi were grinning, Akina giggling.)

Cody Anderson: Excuse me? Don't you mean you lost to a girl with a Charmander who beat your Squirtle into submission despite the Type Advantage on your side. (Cody remarked with Ben nodding. Gary looked bewildered at the mention of his first ever defeat at the hands of Kayoko. Red chuckled a bit.)

Gary Oak: So what? That was then and this is now. (Gary replied.)

Red: Well, any friend of Gary's and the Professor's, are a friend of mine. (Red said. Gary, having heard, gave a comical mad stare at Red for the implications.)

Gary Oak: Hey! Since when did I said these guys are my friends! (Gary remarked comically. Red simply ignored Gary's shouts. Red with Pikachu on his right shoulder, extends his hand to Cody.)

Red: Hi, I'm Red. But you probably know that since you shouted my name. (Red said with honest nervousness. Cody had red-faced himself while shaking hands with one of his heroes from the Pokémon video game series.)

Cody Anderson: (Laughing nervously) Well, I guess that make two or five of us! (Cody mustered. They let go of their hands.)

Cody Anderson: Okay, be cool Cody, be cool. (Cody whispered to himself. Then he composed himself and coughed to relax.)

Cody Anderson: Nice to meet you, Red. I'm Cody, Cody Anderson, and these are my friends and teammates. (Cody said introducing himself.)

Ben Jutsuku: I'm Ben Jutsuku. (Ben said.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: I'm Ezekiel Landwirt, eh. (Ezekiel said with his signature word.)

Akina Sakata: My name is Akina Sakata. (Akina said with a smile.)

Tatsumi Akeito: I am Tatsumi Johime Akeito. (A happy smiling Tatsumi replied.)

Natsuko Bushimori: And my name is Natsuko Sakiyuka Bushimori. (Natsuko said with her middle name added.)

[Confessional – Office Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Cody was struggling but couldn't resist the temptation of laughter.)

Cody Anderson: (Laugh) (Laugh) Ah, man. Her middle name is Sakiyuka? (Laughing kindly) (Cody mustered until. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! The thudding on the door of the confessional which got Cody to gasped shockingly.)

Natsuko Bushimori (Off-Screen): I heard that, Cody! (Natsuko said.)

Cody Anderson: (Gasps fearfully) (Cody had a white eye, in a comical style, upon learning that one of the two badass female Pokémon Trainers of the Braving Charizard, heard him.)

Natsuko Bushimori (Off-Screen): Don't worry, I won't harm you, but you're one to talk, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson! (Natsuko lectured. Cody scratched the back of his head, looking guilt-ridden by his action.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

Cody Anderson: And together we make up one of the two sub-teams of Team Kanto. We're the Braving Charizard! (Cody finished while posing as the logo of the Braving Charizard appeared on the right corner of the screen. Gary looked dumbfound at the display of their antics. Red, however, had shining lights in his eyes, having gotten excited to meet the new Trainers.)

Red: Wow! You guys are incredible! You're like a team of superheroes. (Red exclaimed. Some of the Braving Charizard were blushing in slight embarrassment at being compared to superheroes. Of course, Ben was the only one who felt honored by that statement.)

Red: This is my first-time meeting you guys, but how did ya know who I am? (Red asked. After hearing that, every Braving Charizard Trainers froze in shock. They are wondering how to explain them knowing Red without violating the rules. Seeing Red as a Beginner Trainers means he is not the Pokémon Master/Kanto Champion yet. It was Cody broke the silence.)

Cody Anderson: Ahhh… Well…? You're wearing red clothes. (Cody lied. Red checked his red vest and his hat. Red nodded.)

Red: Well, fair point. (A smiling Red said. Cody and the others sigh in relief, glad that Red brought it.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Appearing in the confessional was the one and only Red and his Pikachu by his side.)

Red: I don't have a doubt in my mind that these new Trainers are good people. Still, I don't think it was just my red clothing that gave it away. But I won't push it. These are my new friends. If they want to tell me the real reason, I'll be waiting. Right, Pikachu? (Red said all of that. Red's Pikachu smiles.)

Red's Pikachu: | Of course Red. You and I took time to get along, but we became great friends. | (Pikachu added, having the same belief as Red. Then both Trainer and Mouse Pokémon paused and looked around the confessional in its outhouse mode.)

Red: Ah? I know Gary mentioned they're in a Reality TV show contest, but where did this confessional come from? (Red asked.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Before they could resume the battle, BUZZING. BUZZING. BUZZING. Cody and the others brought out their Poképhones, invented by Taniuchi Sakuma and developed by the Pokémon Company. Its resemblances are that of a smart phone but its silicon colors being green for those who choose a Grass-Type starter, red for Fire-Type starters and blue for Water-Types starters.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Poképhone): All Trainers of the Braving Charizard and Raging Gyarados report to the fountain at the city square of Cerulean. Your challenge awaits. (Kaoru said. Except the Japanese Trainers, those who have been in Total Drama longer were confused by the voice of the caller because it wasn't Chris.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Whoa, who's that? That wasn't Chris? (Ezekiel asked.)

Natsuko Bushimori: If you weren't informed then I suppose it was on the fault of Chris. (Natsuko reassures.)

Ben Jutsuku: Before we got to the Pokémon World, Mr. Ishihara told us he brought his own staff to assist in the series by adding co-hosts to each of the five regions we've been assigned to. After all, Chris can't everywhere, right? (Ben said all of that and ended it with a wink. Cody and Ezekiel smile happily knowing that they and possibly the other contestants won't always have to deal with Chris due to the distance and time it takes to travel between five regions, whether by mode of vehicular transportation or a Flying, Teleporting or Swimming Pokémon.)

Cody Anderson: Then what are we waiting for? (Cody said rhetorically. Cody turned slightly to Red as he waves his hand.)

Cody Anderson: Bye guys. It was nice meeting ya Red! I hope we can meet up again and hang out. (Cody finished before he and the rest of his sub-team left for their destination. Red smiled and waved them goodbye as well.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Using the confessional for the first time was Gary with his arms crossed.)

Gary Oak: Oh please, I went easy on that Kayoko girl. My Squirtle was just tired after all the training I put him through. I'll show these so-called "Pokémon Trainers" who is the best. I will collect all eight Gym Badges, challenge the Elite Four and become Champion of the whole Pokémon League! (Gary declares. Then he paused only to looked around his surroundings of the confessional he suddenly got into.)

Gary Oak: I'll admit, Red has a point. Where did this confessional come from? (Gary asked.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(The Braving Charizard and Raging Gyarados finally reach their destination at the city square plaza.)

Heather Hamilton: We finally catch up with you. (Heather said while panting a bit.)

Cody Anderson: Oh, hey Heather. Alejandro. Noah. Anne Maria. Daisuke. Kayoko. (Cody greets. Anne Maria sprays herself with a tan can but pause when she heard her name.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Huh? What? (Anne Maria said oblivious. Kayoko bows in response while Daisuke waves kindly at him.)

Noah Thomas: You and your team got lucky last time. But we're ready for this. (Noah said.)

Heather Hamilton: Excuse me? Who died and made you leader? (An angry Heather remarked.)

Noah Thomas: Isn't it obvious because I am not only a veteran contestant but an experienced video gamer of the Pokémon series. (A narrow staring Noah argues. The Braving Charizard were feeling awkward as some of the Raging Gyarados's mean-spirited or arrogant members vying for leadership of their team.)

Heather Hamilton (Off-Screen): Are you saying I'm not a veteran contestant? I've been on four seasons longer than you! I have the attributes to being a better leader. (Heather counters.)

Anne Maria Gambino (Off-Screen): Whoa! Whoa! Who says either of you get to be leader!? If anyone deserves it, it should belong to the most smartest, toughest and gorgeous person with has all three of those things. (Anne Maria said, referring to herself.)

Heather Hamilton: Really? Well, it's too bad we don't have such a person on our team. (Heather remarked, forging ignorance. This only got Anne Maria to growl angrily being insulted.)

[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Akina was sitting on her bed while crossing her arms and looking sympathetic.)

Akina Sakata: Geez. Talk about a dysfunctional team. (Akina expressed.)

[Futuristic Click]

(Tatsumi was sitting on her chair as she frowns.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Ah, disgraceful. How did they even manage to pass through Mt. Moon in the first place? (Tatsumi asked.)

[Futuristic Click]

(Cody looked sympathetic at the current morale of the Raging Gyarados with Squirtle by his side along with Pikachu.)

Cody Anderson: Boy, I kinda feel sorry for the Gyarados and their disunity. (Cody said.)

Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | So true. | (Squirtle replied.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | But at the same time, it could be beneficial for us. | (Pikachu said.)

Cody Anderson: You both got it right. That's why I'm glad that I'm in a team where we are friendly and coordinating with each other. (Cody said, smiling a bit.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

Kaoru Aizawa: I've only gotten started on my first day as a co-host and yet I saw one team in disharmony while the other has developed such unity. (Upon hearing the new voice, both teams turned a see a new face/host. It wasn't Chris. It was a Japanese woman of 27 years by the name of Kaoru Aizawa with an unimpressed expression. While she is a part-time teacher, she is also an employee of the Pokémon Company. She has long black hair tied in a long ponytail, brown eyes, fair skin, and an attire consisted of a white button collar shirt, a black skirt, a green kimono stylized jacket, a black scarf, black tights and black high heels. And the person next to her is Chef Hatchet.)

Noah Thomas: Wait a minute? That voice! (A realized Noah expressed.)

Heather Hamilton: You're the one who contacted us on our Poképhones! (A surprised Heather said. Kaoru nods politely.)

Kaoru Aizawa: But of course. I am Kaoru Aizawa, the co-host of Total Drama Pokémon Adventure for the Kanto Region. (Kaoru explained.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

Heather Hamilton: (Sighs relieved) Finally! A break from Chris. I just hope this one won't be as intolerable as him. (Heather stated.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

Kaoru Aizawa: Now's let get to business. This gym challenge will be reflecting on a test of your survival skills, your athletic capabilities and the full power of your battle talents. It's a two-part challenge known as the Cerulean Talent Games! (Kaoru began. Both teams widen their eyes in surprise by this challenge.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Your first objective will be to find and catch a total of a 100 Pokémon at Route 24 and Route 25 across the other side of Nugget Bridge. Common Pokémon are worth 2 points, uncommon are 5 points but rare are worth 10 points each. Whichever team catches the most and rarest Pokémon will win the first part of the challenge. (Kaoru explains.)

Noah Thomas: Ah, question? (Noah asked.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Speak frankly. (Kaoru replied.)

Noah Thomas: Once we finished the first objective, what will happen to the Pokémon we catch? (Noah asked.)

Kaoru Aizawa: You can decide amongst each other of which Pokémon you wish to keep. But for the Trainers who haven't earn a PC Box yet, I suggest you limit on how many you want to keep. And once you made your decision, the rest will be transfer over to headquarters for research purposes and studies. (Kaoru answers. Soon, Chef brought and gave each team a bag containing a total of 250 Poké Balls.)

Kaoru Aizawa: You have five minutes to complete the first objective before you advance to the next one. If there no more questions, then it's time to get set and CATCH THEM ALL! (Kaoru finished. (Scene changes to show one by one the Raging Gyarados and Braving Charizard divided their set of Poké Balls by 41 per each Trainers as they ran, ran like crazy across the Nugget Bridge.)

[Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(Arrival at the wildness of Route 24, A Poké Ball was thrown and catch a wild Pidgey. After the few shakes, the capture was a success, and it was recoiled back to Alejandro. Next scene shows Anne Maria encountering a female plant-based Pokémon with a stem-like body, a single green leaf on each side of her body like arms, a yellow bell-shaped head, pink lips and beaded eyes.)

Wild Bellsprout: | What cha looking at? | (A sassy Bellsprout remarked in a sassy tone. Anne Maria frown.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Some attitude you got there. You, I like. (A proud smiling Anne Maria admits. She brought out and scans the wild Pokémon with her Pokédex.)

Anne Maria's Pokédex: "Bellsprout, the Flower Pokémon. A carnivorous Pokémon that traps and eats bugs. It uses its root feet to soak up needed moisture." (The Pokédex explained. Anne Maria smiled at this info as she brought out her Poké Ball with a Pokémon.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Come on out, Folgia! (Anne Maria declared. Folgia came out of her Poké Ball. Folgia stares at the wild Pokémon.)

Wild Bellsprout: | You all will regret that you invaded my private space. I hope you get cut. | (Bellsprout said.)

Folgia (Anne Maria's Bulbasaur): | Girl, you don't know what it means to get cut. | (Folgia said. Scene switch to Ezekiel defeating and catching three Pidgey. While waiting, Ezekiel scans them using his Pokédex.)

Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. It is a common sight in forests and woods. It flaps its wings at ground level to kick up blinding sand." (The Pokédex answers. Once Ezekiel put the Pokédex away… SWISHY SWASHY. Using his "super hearing" Ezekiel got serious as he turned to see a section of tall grass shooed before it returned to the direction of the wind. Ezekiel stared for a bit before he got back to his Poké Balls containing his catches. Back to the tall grasses, slowly a Pokémon, a wild Sandshrew moved them slightly as it was observing Ezekiel as he headed off to catch another wild Pokémon. Sandshrew was staring at the ex-feral homeschooler.)

(The confessional is online, but none of the contestants didn't show. Instead, it was the wild Sandshrew stalking Ezekiel.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Hiya! I'm Sandshrew obviously. I'm from Mt. Moon until Team Rocket shown up and tried to kidnap me and the rest of my herd. That was until that brown haired human and its long purple haired mate intervene and defeated them, freeing my herd. Once the next day came, I went to the Clefairy territory and wanted to thank him, but he already left. I've been searching for him ever since. | (Sandshrew said all of that.)

[Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(Noah catches a ninth of an insectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur, a pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, a pair of two toed feet, light tan skin, a pair of white antennae and large red compound eyes. The tenth, however was down yet as it was battling Noah's Paras. Noah scans the Pokémon despite knowing it already.)

Noah's Pokédex: "Venonat, the Insect Pokémon. It lives in the shadows of tall trees where it eats insects. It is attracted by light at night." (The Pokédex explained.)

Wild Venonat: | Hmm. Impressive device you got there, but as you can see I ain't an ordinary Venonat! I can wield the moves of Psychic-Types. | (He commented. Paras had a sweat drop at the annoyance with a stoic expression.)

Noah Thomas's Paras: | Oh, boy. Where have I heard that before? | (A nonchalant Paras remarked. Thankfully Noah didn't hear nor fully understood his Paras's words. Seeing the wild Venonant's attitude and sense of pride, he made a small grin.)

Noah Thomas: Excellent. I think I'll catch one for myself. (Noah answers. Soon after, Noah ordered his Paras to give it a powerful Fury Cutter when he least expects it.)

Noah Thomas: Perfect. Now go Poké Ball! (Noah yelled as his thrown Poké Ball spins in a curve movement and captures the wild Venonat. Scene changes to Daisuke after catching a total of eighteen Pokémon and currently facing two of the same species he caught. The first was on the land is a yellow Pokémon resembling a duck/bipedal platypus with three thick strands of black hair, a wide, flat cream-colored beak, vacant looking eyes with tiny pupils, stubby legs and tail, cream-colored webbed feet and three claws on each hand. And the one on the water of the river is a fishlike Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales, large vacant eyes and pink lips, white pectoral and tail fin, a stiff, three-point yellow fin resembling a crown with an identical fin on its underside, and long white barbels. Daisuke was facing the duck-like Pokémon with his Mankey and the fish-like Pokémon with his Squirtle. Afterwards, Daisuke beat them enough to catch them both and then scans the newly caught Pokémon.)

Daisuke's Pokédex: "Psyduck, the Duck Pokémon. While lulling its enemies. With its vacant look, this wily Pokémon will use psychokinetic powers." (The Pokédex answers.)

Daisuke's Pokédex: "Magikarp, the Fish Pokémon. In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today." (The Pokédex finished. Daisuke smiles at the sight of two newly additions to his party. Natsuko caught 10 Oddish but kept two. Ben caught 15 Caterpie but kept a female one. Tatsumi caught 10 Pidgey. Noah caught 7 Oddish. Ben caught 15 Weedle but kept a male one. Heather, despite some setbacks, caught 9 Magikarp. Anne Maria caught 9 Venonat. Ben caught 5 Venonat, 5 Magikarp, 5 Psyduck, 5 Pidgey and 5 Pidgeotto, while keeping one of each. Natsuko caught 12 Bellsprout but kept one. Alejandro encounters a small feline Pokémon with cream color fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail, an ovoid head, four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with silt pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, black ears with brown interior, and a gold koban coin. Alejandro scans the Pokémon.)

Alejandro's Pokédex: "Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. It adores circular objects. It wanders the streets on a nightly basis to look for dropped loose change." (The Pokédex answered. Alejandro looked intrigued in wanting the Pokémon. He uses his Nidoran to damage the Meowth enough and kicked the Poké Ball like a soccer ball and caught the wild Meowth. Akina caught 12 Pidgey. Kayoko caught 10 Meowth but kept one. Cody caught 20 Magikarp but kept a shiny one. Alejandro caught 10 Pidgey. Ben caught 10 Meowth, 10 Oddish and 10 Bellsprout but kept one of each. Tatsumi caught 20 Magikarp but kept one. After Noah caught the tenth Venonat, he soon hears a ZOOM sound as a new Pokémon appears. It is a primarily yellow bipedal Pokémon with a kite-shape face with a small pale snout, two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors, widen closed eyes, a pair of segmented black skin between the joints and along the neck, two brown pauldron shaped extensions on the shoulder, a brown, fauld-like piece around the chest, three digits on each hand and foot, two of its toes facing forward and one facing backwards on each leg and a long and thick tail with a brown band near the tip. Noah gasped in admiration.)

Noah Thomas: An Abra! (Noah expressed. The wild Abra heard, but surprisingly, Noah quickly hid in the tall grass.)

Wild Abra: | Huh? I could've sworn I heard… | (Abra paused as he got over it. For Noah, this was gonna be a difficult catch of a well-known fleeing Pokémon. That's when Noah remembered an old quote of a military strategist. He went through his bag. Next scene changes to Abra who was mediating, forcing his energy, blinking his eyes a few times until… Noah came into his eyes with an awkward smile. Abra widen his closed eyes at the sight of a human.)

Wild Abra: | HUMAN! I GOTTA GE- | (Abra paused as Noah extended his arm and made a placating gesture to calm down.)

Noah Thomas: Wait! I don't want to fight! I brought something I got made especially for you. (Noah pleaded. Strangely, Abra felt convinced as he felt despite Noah's primary intention to befriend him was to add him into his team, yet curious for Noah's response. Noah brought out a regular smore but with pink and blue spices.)

Noah Thomas: This may be an ordinary smore, but I've been experimenting using different berries such an Oran and Pecha Berries to be exact. (Noah explained. Abra took a whiff and couldn't deny how delicious it is. Slowly, Abra took a bite of the smore. Suddenly, Abra bulges his eyes pure white as he quickly eats the smore away.)

Wild Abra: | It's… It's perfect! The texture! The spices! The softness! The nutrition! It is splendid. | (Abra said. While eating the smore, Noah scans the Abra via Pokédex.)

Noah's Pokédex: "Abra, the Psi Pokémon. Using its ability to read minds, it will identify impending danger and teleport to safety." (The Pokédex answered. After composing himself, Abra reached a decision.)

Wild Abra: | Tasting your food and how well you took to perfect it got me to think, perhaps I could learn more about humanity if I join you. | (Abra said. Somehow, Noah understood its intents as he brought out a Poké Ball. Noah extended his invitation for Abra to join his party. Abra moved forth his left hand and with his middle finger pushed the button as he got catch inside the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball shook ONCE… CLICK! The capture was successful. Noah smiles.)

Noah: Excellent. I have acquired an Abra. (A satisfied Noah said.)

(Noah was sitting on his bed with his newly caught Abra next to him.)

Noah Thomas: I'm thrill that you are a part of my party, Abra. It's like the legendary author and military strategist Sun Tzu once said, "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle." (Noah expressed and quoted a fame figure from China. Abra was impressed by this new knowledge.)

Noah's Abra: | Hmm, the greatest victory is that which requires no battle. Meaning that internal fighting of the enemy would decrease their ranks, drive their nation to the verge of collapse and in the end, we don't have to fight or be deprived of a single fighter. | (Abra summarized. Abra nodded in respect to Noah as he returns the gesture.)

[Forest near Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(3 minutes left. Scene switch to Cody chasing a wild Pidgey while Akina was backing him up.)

Akina Sakata: Cody! Wait Up! (Akina said. Cody was running as he was building up a sweat.)

Cody Anderson: (Pant) (Pant) I (PANT) Gotta (PANT) Give you credit. For a Pidgey, you sure can fly fast. (Cody mustered. Cody shakingly, aims his Poké Ball and threw it toward the Pidgey. Unfortunately wasn't throw hard enough to reach. Cody frowns at his possible failed attempt. However, Akina ran pass him, but in an elegant way, being shined out by the sunlight. Cody widens his eyes in blushing admiration. She grabbed Cody's Poké Ball and with a spinning technique, she tossed the Poké Ball in a curveball and finally makes a perfect hit on the wild Pidgey and got sucked into the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball lands down at a 1-2 mile away.)

[Hidden Gate Entrance – Kanto]

(Once they made it of the forest, they got a good look at the beautiful scenario of a sparkling lake, fresh green meadows, and a gate that leads to some kind of hidden village. The Poké Ball landed on the bridge where it shook ONCE… CLICK! The capture was a success. As the two Pokémon Trainers were approaching the Poké Ball, a certain Grass/Poison Pokémon got the Poké Ball under its upper three clawed paw.)

Akina Sakata: There's the Poké Ball! (Akina said. A huffing Cody stopped to catch his breath, but he is good enough now.)

Cody Anderson: Ah, thank goodness. Thanks for delivering the curve throw, Akina. You're the best. (Cody compliments. Akina blushes a bit but smiles nevertheless at the compliment. Afterwards, Cody turns back to the Poké Ball but frowned a bit and narrowed his glance to see the wild Pokémon.)

Cody Anderson: Wait! Is that Pokémon what I think it is? (Cody wondered. Scene reveals a small quadrupedal Pokémon with blue-green skin with darker patches, red eyes with white pupils, pointed ear-like structure on top of its head, two pointed teeth on its upper jaw, each thick leg having three sharp claws and a green plant bulb on its back.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Greedy Trainers. Leave this Pokémon alone and get off our land! This isn't a place for cruel humans to do as they please. | (Bulbasaur warned. Bulbasaur growls.)

Akina Sakata: It is a wild Bulbasaur! (Akina exclaimed. Cody scans the wild Seed Pokémon.)

Cody's Pokédex: "Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon. A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon." (The Pokédex answers. Watching from afar was a female Oddish, looking worriedly at a possible battle.)

Wild Oddish: | Oh no. new humans have found us. | (Oddish said frightfully. However, Oddish looked carefully and saw not only the concern and confused expression on Akina and Cody, but the look of their eyes as well. Oddish calmed down a bit and realized their true nature.)

Wild Oddish: | These outsiders are different. I gotta get Melody here before it's too late. | (The wild Weed Pokémon said as she ran like the wind. Bulbasaur brought out his vines getting ready to battle.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Last chance! Leave this place now and forget you ever saw this village. But if you stay and tried to catch the abandoned Pokémon that got discarded by their so-called "trainers" I will strike you down with all of my fury. | (Bulbasaur warns with a snarl. Instead of an angry glare and calling out a Pokémon, like the Seed Pokémon expected to be, Cody went through his bag and brought out some marshmallows. Bulbasaur looked confused at this gesture but kept his guard up.)

Cody Anderson: I am truly sorry for intruding on your home. I hope you like marshmallows cause trust me… they're DELICIOUS! (A goofy smiling Cody expressed. Akina mustered the strength to resist giggling at the funny expression made by her crush. Cody placed the marshmallows at a few meters from him. Bulbasaur approach the marshmallows and taking a whiff of the cylinder-shaped white food.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | It's not filled or tampered to make me fall asleep. | (Bulbasaur said to himself. Slowly, Bulbasaur grabbed a marshmallow and chews it repeatedly and finally shallow it. Cody and Akina were waiting for Bulbasaur's reaction. The moment was silence until… A shocked Bulbasaur changed its expression into an AWESTRUCK ESTATIC one at the wonderful taste of marshmallows!)

Wild Bulbasaur: | OH KANTO! These marshmallows are heaven-send perfection! | (Bulbasaur exclaimed in a happy tone. Soon, Bulbasaur began eating all of the marshmallows in a fast pace. Cody smiles, glad that Bulbasaur loves the same soft snack he and a few of his friends do. Soon, Oddish returned but with a young 19-year-old woman resembling a Japanese, but has fair skin, long black hair tied in a ponytail, green eyes, wearing a miko-like kimono set of a white top, green hakama, pink heel shoes and a pink headband.)

Melody: Bulbasaur, what's going on? (She asked. Both Trainers and Seed Pokémon turned to see the woman, named Melody.)

Akina Sakata: Ah, hi? (Akina mustered. Cody waved her in greeting.)

Cody Anderson: We're sorry for trespassing on your land. My name is Cody Anderson, and this is Akina Sakata. We're Contestants from a TV reality show called Total Drama Pokémon Adventure. (Cody explained. Melody looked confused a bit but didn't sense any malice lies or deception from either Contestant Trainers.)

Melody: Forgive me, but we don't have television out here. Our hidden village is a remote location since the ancient times of Kanto. Times change, and so do unjust traditions, but not the ones that benefits the welfare of Pokémon that have been abandoned by cruel and selfish trainers. (Melody lectured. Both Trainers looked upset upon hearing that the wild Pokémon here were once part owned by other Pokémon Trainers but were discard so easily. Akina mustered the courage.)

Akina Sakata: My lady! We did not come here to rob you of the Pokémon you and your people have co-existed here. We were only trying to catch a wild Pokémon far away from your village. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of those heartless trainers that abandoned these sweet and gifted Pokémon. (Akina finished saying all of that. Melody stared at Cody and Akina in the eyes for a moment. Afterward, a smile creeped on her face as her expression was a friendly one.)

Melody: I believe you. (Melody said kindly. Both Cody and Akina looked surprised by this response. Soon, Melody hands over the Poké Ball to Cody as the latter and Akina were preparing to return to Route 24.)

Melody: I am Melody. I'm a member of the Green Clan that resides here in Midorizon Village. My clan is one of the few that still remains in Kanto. Our role is to protect the forests and meadows that nature provides from polluters and illegal logging. We also take in Pokémon who were abandoned by their "Trainers." However, you two are different from them. (Melody said, introducing herself.)

Cody Anderson: Well, thank you for the compliment. You don't have to worry about us leaking the location of your village. In fact I'm glad that- (Cody paused upon looking at his watch and realize how much time he and Akina have left for the first part of the challenge. Cody's eyes bulge out in shock.)

Cody Anderson: OH NO! WE HAVE LITTLE TIME LEFT! (Cody shouted hysterically. Akina looked shocked by this.)

Akina Sakata: Ah!? UHHH! (Akina yelled with the same hysteric tone, much to Melody's confusion, and Bulbasaur and Oddish's surprise.)

Cody Anderson: SORRY WE HAVE TO LEAVE LIKE THIS, BUT WE HAVE TO GET BACK AND HELP OUR TEAM WIN THE CHALLENGE! (Cody yelled in a faster pace. Cody and Akina ran instantaneously. Despite the bewildered display they saw, Bulbasaur and Oddish were touched by how caring those two humans were for not only wild and their own Pokémon, but the rest of their human friends. Bulbasaur began walking forward with Oddish and Melody noticing his movements.)

Melody: Bulbasaur? (Melody asked. Bulbasaur paused, giving Oddish time to catch up to him.)

Wild Oddish: | What's the matter, Bulbasaur? | (A concern Oddish asked her fellow Grass/Poison Pokémon. Bulbasaur looked at Oddish for a moment before turning his direction at where Cody and Akina went. Melody realizes what Bulbasaur is going to do, but instead of being upset, she let a sad smile appear on her face.)

Melody: Bulbasaur, if you want to go to with Cody on his journey. It's alright with me. (Melody said.)

Wild Bulbasaur: (Gasped surprised.) (Oddish was also surprised that Melody is practically giving Bulbasaur permission to be with Cody. Suddenly, Oddish had a look of determination.)

Wild Oddish: | Well, there's no way I am letting you go! At least… not without me. | (Oddish stated. Bulbasaur was surprised. At first, he thought Oddish wouldn't want him to leave, but instead she wanted to go with him to be the Pokémon of Cody and Akina respectively. Soon, they faced with Melody as she kneels down a bit and hugs Oddish.)

Melody: I'm gonna miss you so much, Oddish. But your heart is in the right place. (Melody bids farewell. Oddish sobs a bit.)

Oddish: (Whimper) | Goodbye Melody. I'll never forget you and all you and the Green Clan has done for me. | (Oddish replied in return. Bulbasaur bows in respect to Melody. Melody, on the other hands, kneels down and gave a big warmth hug for her Pokémon friend. Despite struggling from expressing sadness, the blank staring Bulbasaur was touched by how much Melody loves him and Oddish. Soon, Bulbasaur and Oddish headed off to Route 24. Bulbasaur paused as a slightly Melody stared in confusion.)

Melody: Bulbasaur? (Melody asked. Without turning around, Bulbasaur slightly turned.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Melody…. Thank you for everything. Even if we are distance away from each other. Even if we won't be able to see each other again. I will always love having been a part of Midorizon, a part of the Green Clan and… the friends I made here. Thank you and… farewell. | (Bulbasaur finished before he and Oddish ran toward Cody and Akina's trail. Tears fell from Melody's eyes, but still retains her smile, wishing Bulbasaur and Oddish luck and well on their journey. As both the Seed and Weed Pokémon raced off to find Cody and Akina, Oddish notice a few tear drops flowing in the air. She turns looked surprised mildly, but sad smiles at the sight of a crying Bulbasaur having left the home he truly knew. However, once he finished, Bulbasaur's tears dried up and focus on his and Oddish's sole objective; joining Cody and Akina.)

[Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(One-minute remains. A giant size Magikarp is shown get caught in a Poké Ball. Once it was done, it bounced back to its thrower, none other than Natsuko who grabbed the Poké Ball scans it with her Pokédex. Natsuko rose an eyebrow in curiosity.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Just not its size, but this Magikarp is really an impressive one. Not bad stats. I'll keep it for now. (Natsuko said.)

Kaoru Aizawa: (Poképhone) Time's up! Just to bring in all the Pokémon you capture and see which team got the most points. (Kaoru said.)

[Current Total Count / Raging Gyarados: 25 Caterpie + 25 Weedle + 10 Pidgey + 10 Magikarp + 10 Psyduck + 10 Venonat + 5 Meowth + 3 Bellsprout + 2 Abra = 100 | Braving Charizard: 10 Caterpie + 10 Weedle + 10 Magikarp + 10 Psyduck + 10 Oddish + 5 Meowth + 10 Bellsprout + 5 Pidgey + 5 Pidgeotto + 5 Abra + 5 Venonat = 85]

(Kaoru was counting and analyzing the total and value of the Pokémon of the area. Before she was done, she was saw Cody and Akina running to regroup with the others. He brought out eight Poké Balls. Kaoru placed them in the Braving Charizard's pile basket. Once she was done, she gathered the Trainers in their respective teams.)

Kaoru Aizawa: After careful calculations, for the total of a 100 Pokémon, the Gyarados has the total score of 255. (Kaoru announced. The Raging Gyarados were cheering in early victory.)

Heather Hamilton: In your face, you cowering Charizard! (Heather taunted. The Braving Charizard members like Natsuko and Tatsumi simply rolled their eyes not caring, Ezekiel and Ben shook their heads in disappointment while Cody and Akina weren't seemingly worried.)

Kaoru Aizawa: However, the winner this challenge are the Braving Charizard for the quality of rare Pokémon! Scoring a total value point of 320! (Kaoru announces! This brought great shock to the Raging Gyarados while the Braving Charizard smiles victoriously.)

Braving Charizard (Team): (CHEERING PROUDLY)

Cody Anderson: We won! We won! (Cody said repeatedly. However, not everyone was satisfied with this result.)

Heather Hamilton: Hey! How can come those fire breathing losers manage to score a lot more Pokémon than us!? (Heather demanded pointing her finger at Kaoru, who stared at her blankly with a scorn. Kaoru grabbed her finger with two and slowly… CRUNCH! She was able to easily twist and gripped effortlessly, much to Heather's squealing pain.)

Kaoru Aizawa: First off, I was about to get to the point of how they got to score this much. Secondary, I am no bias, self-serving human being like McLean, I play fair and square and ensure nobody get severe injuries. And thirdly, you ever tried to make demands or act as a spoiled brat, not only will I immediately eliminate you from the competition, but I will show no mercy that whatever acting career you seek out, it will be in drawing or voice acting antagonists in animations. (A menacing looking Kaoru snarls those words. Quickly, Heather nods as she speaks.)

Heather Hamilton: Okay! Okay! Yes ma'am! Crystal clear! (Heather replied. Soon, Kaoru let go of her finger. Heather gritted her teeth in fear and concern to see how red her finger was, much to the other Contestant Pokémon Trainers' shock.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: I know I should've stepped in and either prevent Heather from escalating it or stand up to her defense… But I was shamefully afraid of retrieving the same (gulped) castigo. (Alejandro mustered shamefully.)

(Despite feeling joy at seeing the "queen bee" getting scolded and schooled, Anne Maria was still shocked out her mind at how strong a seemingly beautiful woman like Kaoru looked. Finally she snaps out of it while retaining her speechless expression.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Okay, even though I'm like full blown afraid of that lady host, I can't deny how badass. In a way, that lady is kinda like my new hero now. (Anne Maria admits out of fear and respect.)

(A shaking/fearful looking Heather was holding her legs as she was traumatized by how strict and hardcore Kaoru is. Her Kakuna and female Meowth were confused by this as they have always seen Heather as a mean-spirit yet cunning and determined person they called their Pokémon Trainers. Both Pokémon turns to face the camera.)

Heather Hamilton's Kakuna: | Uhh... This isn't usually classic Heather. | (Kakuna mused.)

Heather Hamilton's Meowth: | If anything, this made us realized how adult humans are similar to alpha Pokémon in the wild. | (Meowth said.)

[Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(While Heather was rubbing softly on her bruised finger, Kaoru pressed a button that changed the screen shows the eight Pokémon caught by Cody.)

Kaoru Aizawa: As you can see the Pokémon Cody caught, even at the last minute were each worth 25 points due to their rarity. Among them is a shiny, which will be an additional 25 points. Same to the other shiny you caught. However, the main reason to why the Charizard won is that the eight same species of Pokémon Cody was… (Kaoru changed the scene and shows the Pokémon to be non-other than…)

All (Raging Gyarados): SQUIRTLE! (They shouted simultaneously.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Precisely! Especially with a Shiny Starter Pokémon, that boost the Charizard total points to 300! (Kaoru declared! The Raging Gyarados were wimping in defeat while the Braving Charizard were screeching in victory. Scene changes to show Kaoru with a local Pokémon Breeder as they approach the Braving Charizard.)

Kaoru Aizawa: For your reward, one of you will retrieve a new Pokémon to add in your party. Bring her forward. (Kaoru said. The Pokémon Breeder set down a familiar bipedal reptilian Pokémon that has an orange body, blue eyes, cream-colored underside and foot soles, two small fangs in its upper jaw and two in its lower, and fire burning on the tip of her tail.)

Akina Sakata: Whoa! A Charmander! (Akina expressed. Despite knowing it and from the ones her homeschool and knight-like teammates once had prior to their evolution, Akina scans it.)

Akina's Pokédex: "Charmander, the Lizard Pokémon. It is an obvious statement that it prefers hot places. When it rains, steam is said to sprout from the tip of its tail." (The Pokédex answered. Akina puts away her Pokédex as she and the female Charmander lock eyes on each other. Both human and Lizard Pokémon were curious of each other. Akina formed a small smile with her eyes closed, which the shy Charmander reacted a little frightful, but seeing the good nature she senses from the redheaded Trainer, slowly calmed and smiled a bit. Soon, the Braving Charizard were deciding who should have the Charmander. Tatsumi raised her hand straight.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Forgive me, but I have no interest to add another Charmander on my team at the moment. (Tatsumi declines.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Me too. Plus I already had a Charmander before. I don't want Charmeleon to think I wanted to replace him. (Ezekiel declined but in a polite and reasonable way. None of them took offended nor shock, understanding. That only leaves Cody, Ben, and Akina. Natsuko would've been included if she had not declined the reward. Cody and Ben were having a hard time to decide which of them should have Charmander.)

[Confessional – Office Mode]

(Cody was sitting on his confessional sighing in frustrations as Squirtle and Pikachu were as concerned as their Pokémon Trainer.)

Cody Anderson: This is a whole lot of harder than I thought. (Cody complained.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | You mean between you, Ben and Akina who gets to add that Charmander in your party. | (Pikachu asked. Cody nodded)

Cody Anderson: While as nice it would to have another starter added to our party. I don't want it to drive a wedge between me and my friends. I remember watching Total Drama Action during that doctor-movie challenge when the Gaggers won that spa award, Leshawna faked cried to win the reward with her cousin Leshaniqua. (Cody said. Both Squirtle and Pikachu were surprised to hear that but got over it.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Hmm, that's a good point. | (Pikachu admits. That's when Squirtle came to the rescue.)

Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Well, it's not like you're in a rush to complete the Pokédex. You should wait until the right Charmander is yours to catch. I'm sure we'll find one on our journey. | (Squirtle advises. Incredibly, Cody understood as his frowns turned into a smile.)

Cody Anderson: Yeah. Hey yeah! You're right, Squirtle. There's are hundred other Charmander out there waiting to be caught. I know what I need to do. (Cody declared. After he exits outside, both Pikachu and Squirtle smiles proudly at their Pokémon Trainer/human friend.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Wow. One minute he was indecisive and the next he has recharged his confidence and gained a clear sight. | (Pikachu said amazingly.)

Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | That's our Cody! | (Squirtle finished.)

[Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

Cody Anderson: I appreciate the offer, but the answer is no. Why don't we let the Charmander pick which Trainer she wants to go with? Either Ben or Akina. (Cody suggested. Heather, Alejandro and Noah were smudging expecting the Braving Charizard might disagree and argue, but much to their shock, every Charizard members agrees to the suggestion. Charmander slowly moves a few steps forward to looks at Ben and Akina a few times, trying to decide which Trainer to join. Charmander looked at Ben, who was staring at her with a blank, but friendly looking expression.)

Charmander: | (He seems nice, but I'm not sure what kind of nickname would he give me.) | (Charmander said. Then she turned her attention to Akina, who was smiling and gave her a warm waved gesture.)

Charmander: | (And she is more than just nice. That warm aura she has, that signalizes a person seeking to soar for the skies. She has no ego that distance herself and her friends and Pokémon.) | (Charmander said. After she was done assessing her choices, she decided. Charmander walks toward and picked…. Akina, evidenced by Charmander embracing her leg in a hug. Akina picks the Lizard Pokémon up and held her in her arms.)

Akina Sakata: Charmander… I don't know what to say. But will thank you be enough? (A smiling Akina asked. Charmander let a smile creep up as she nodded.)

Charmander: | Of course. I don't know why but not only do I like your scent, I have a feeling we can soar through the distance. | (Charmander said. The rest of the Braving Charizard were smiling at this decision, satisfied that Charmander made her choice.)

Kaoru Aizawa: It seems Akina is the one who will receive the reward. (A proud smiling Kaoru stated. She turns to the Pokémon Breeder, who got the message, nodded. He approach Akina as he gave her the Poké Ball belonging to her Charmander.)

Pokémon Breeder: Please take good care of Charmander. (The Breeder said. Akina nodded as she got Charmander's Poké Ball.)

Akina Sakata: Don't worry. I promise to raise Charcha to be the elegant and powerful Pokémon she can be. (Akina promised, revealing the new nickname she has for Charmander. Charmander, rather Charcha, didn't mind it. In fact she loves the name. Akina faces Charcha.)

Akina Sakata: Let's be friend for a long time and soar into the sky together. (Akina said. Charcha smiles at this brightly.)

Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): | It would be my pleasure, Akina. | (Charcha replied. Soon, Akina beamed her new Pokémon inside her Poké Ball, smiling brightly at this. Soon, the Poké Ball was engulfed in a white light… ZOOM, it disappeared, rather it was transported into Akina's PC Box due to already having a full party.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Now with the first challenge completed, all teams report to Route 25 for the next challenge! (Kaoru said.)

[Kanto Route 25 – Kanto]

(Scene changes to Route 25, featuring the sight of not only a cottage belonging to a famous Pokémon Researcher, but the clear and healthy two ponds that sandwiched a land bridge, but at the eastern side of the route was an ocean shoreline. However, the Contestant Trainers were more focus on the two canoes, the first being light blue with the Raging Gyarados symbol on it and the second being orange and has the Braving Charizard symbol on the rear end.)

Noah Thomas: So our next challenge will be paddling our canoes against each other until the last one standing win. (Noah anticipated. Kaoru shook her head. She approached one of the canoes and inside was a support kit.)

Kaoru Aizawa: No. For this course of the challenge, you will be carrying your canoes from Route 25 to the river of the Route 24, rowing along the current back to Cerulean City. Each canoe has a survival kit, complete with some Pokémon toys to lure away wild Pokémon, berries to catch any you want, a compass and a pair of grappling hooks to climb up to the city floor. (Kaoru said all of that. Both teams were astonished upon hearing the last one.)

Akina Sakata: Ah? Sorry, but… did you say, "climbing up to the city floor?" (Akina asked.)

Kaoru Aizawa: I did! It wouldn't really be a challenge if everything was too easy. While I am no fan of Chris nor have that sadistic and immoral methods as him, there are some truth and wisdom of making challenges a bit difficult. Nature isn't weak. She is a cruel parent yet an effective teacher. You might not like it or accept such disasters happening to you but deal with it. You must push yourselves beyond your limits. Those who have undergone such vigorous training and lessons should have this fully accustomed by memory. (Kaoru explains all of that. Tatsumi and Natsuko nodded. Kayoko, with her eyes hidden, gritted her teeth, but nodded.)

Kaoru Aizawa: The first team to get all of their members to reach for the entrance to the Cerulean Gym wins this course and will be duly rewarded. Now then, get started and remember, as an educator, I expect you all to do your best. (Kaoru finished before she left them to commence the challenge. Yet, most, if not all, the Contestant Trainers were speechless and touched that for the first time a TV host was being nice to them and having faith that they can be successful while remaining neutral and unbiased.)

Heather Hamilton: Okay. I wanted to hate this woman. I really, wanted to hate her. But… I can't! I basically can't or won't hate her because of how much of a badass she is and the impressive resolves she has. If I'm being brutally honest… that woman is kinda my hero now. (Heather said.)

[Nugget Bridge, Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(While the Braving Charizard and Raging Gyarados were beginning their second challenge, the same wild Bulbasaur and Oddish have made it all the way to Route 24, on the Nugget Bridge. Currently, Bulbasaur was sniffing for Cody and Akina's scents. Both Grass/Poison Pokémon have been tracking them down by retracking the humans' trails.)

Wild Oddish: | Bulbasaur? | (Oddish asked patiently. Thankfully, the trainers that were on the bridge were already gone.)

Wild Bulbasaur: (Sniff) (Sniff) (Sniff) (Sniff) | Hmm, they were here. Rather, they came from that direction. | (Bulbasaur stated while pointing one of his vines at the direction of Cerulean City. Oddish understood.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Judging which direction Cody and his comrades went; I believe it would to Route 25. | (Bulbasaur added.)

Wild Oddish: | So what do we do? | (A concerned Oddish asked. Bulbasaur had a brainstorming expression. SNAP! Oddish noticed a twig snapped in half by foot. She went off to investigate the source of it.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Oddish, what's wrong? Oddish!? | (Bulbasaur asked before he ran to follow her lead. Once Bulbasaur caught up to her, Oddish spoke.)

Wild Oddish: | I heard something. A twig snapping in half. | (Oddish answered.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | You don't think it was a human trying to catch a wild Pokémon? | (Bulbasaur suggested. But he got a serious face, having a more realistic theory.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Or it might be a dangerous Pokémon stalking us. | (Bulbasaur added. Pokémon made it to a patch of tall grass. They waited patiently. Realizing they needed a different way to draw it out, Bulbasaur looked at Oddish as he turns his back on the bushes and slowly turns to walk. Realizing the idea, Oddish had a sly look and play the act. Soon, the tall grass resume to shake until… SNAP! That's when they got their target.)

Wild Oddish: | GOTCHA! | (Oddish spoked. She run hysterically as she approached the bush, a Poison Sting was shot at her, but she narrowly evades it with a cartoonish face. Seeing his friend nearly hit, a serious Bulbasaur brought out his vines, using Vine Whip to grab the wild Pokémon, restraining it.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | You got for the count of 3 seconds to tell us who are you, because if you don't. I hope you're resistant or a Water-Type, because you won't survive sinking underwater from the Cerulean River. 3… 2… On- | (Bulbasaur lifts the wild Pokémon high and prepares to hold him above Cerulean River, until…)

Wild Sandshrew: | AH! WAIT! WAIT! STOP! STOP! | (The wild Pokémon panicked. It was none other but the same Sandshrew stalking Ezekiel. Bulbasaur and Oddish were surprised by this.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Wait a minute? A Sandshrew. | (Bulbasaur mustered. Scene changes to where all three Wild Pokémon were on the Nugget Bridge. Sandshrew told them everything.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | So you and your herd were saved by Ezekiel and his mate Natsuko, whom are both friends and allies of Cody, Akina and two more Trainers. | (Bulbasaur said.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Yes. | (Sandshrew answered calmly.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Afterwards, you went to find him on the summit of Mt. Moon only to find he was long gone when a whole group of Clefairy and Clefable told you to where the Braving Charizard headed to. | (Bulbasaur continued.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Yes. | (Sandshrew answered.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | And you left your home in Mt. Moon, travel all the way through 10 miles of more powerful wild Pokémon, evading Pokémon Trainers and people, all so you could thank Ezekiel and join his team of Pokémon. | (Bulbasaur finished. Sandshrew had a flash of red blush across his face and rubs the back of his head.)

Wild Sandshrew: | I know, I know. It sound kinda silly. Having to leave the only place you've known as home and traversing new territories to join a human I briefly met. | (Sandshrew said, despite not taking the silly part serious. Thankfully, Bulbasaur shook his head and smiles understanding Sandshrew.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Not at all. We know what it's like having to depart the one place we've known as home. | (Bulbasaur said, understanding the Mouse Pokémon's situation. Sandshrew gasped in mild surprise.)

Wild Oddish: | Believe it or not, Bulbasaur and I used to belong to other Trainers before, but unlike Cody, Akina and Ezekiel, they weren't good people. They used us as shields, tools and barely acknowledge us as equals or friends. After we were abandoned, we met Melody and her people in the Green Clan, and they took us in along with a lot of Pokémon that were abandoned until we met Cody and Akina. | (Oddish said with a small smile. Sandshrew was sadden at first, but upon learning more from their tale, his mood was brightened again.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Really? Even though you were once bad humans' Pokémon, you still have faith in humanity as a whole. | (Sandshrew said amazed.)

Wild Bulbasaur: | Of course. In the end, we always assumed all humans want us to follow them, but… |

Wild Sandshrew: | But in reality, it's they who want to follow us. To fight for us who are living creatures just like them. | (Sandshrew concluded. Sandshrew shook hands or paw/vine, not only resolving their misunderstandings and becoming friends. Oddish smiles at this new friendship.)

Wild Oddish: | Not only did we resolve this peacefully, but with our numbers increase, we can make our search for the Trainers a lot easily. | (Oddish expressed. Sandshrew posed in a thinking position.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Well, now that you mentioned it. When I was scouting out on Ezekiel…. (An illustrated flashback starts. Early in the day, Sandshrew, hiding in the tall grass, was watching both the Braving Charizard and Raging Gyarados with Kaoru Aizawa.)

Wild Sandshrew (Voice-Over): | "This older human woman, Kaoru, told them to go to the Cerulean Cape at Route 24 to commend with what they called a "challenge." | (Sandshrew said. Next illustration shows both teams lifting their respective canoes up.)

Wild Sandshrew (Voice-Over): | "They were told to get their canoes back to Route 24 and begin rowing to Cerulean City by climbing up the higher ground." | (Sandshrew continued. Next illustrations shows Sandshrew slowly approaching Ezekiel, who was at the last spot of the line. Next flashback shows Sandshrew freaking out as his standing on a twig, alerted Ezekiel due to his super hearing. And the next one shows Sandshrew quickly ducks under tall grass as Ezekiel was confused of the Pokémon that ran off.)

Wild Sandshrew: | "I know I should've been more considerate, but I never had a calm conversation with humans before. Still, that's pretty much everything that lead me here and when I encounter you two." | (Sandshrew finished. After one last flashback shows when Bulbasaur and Oddish, both astonished, had a freaked out Sandshrew restrained by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip. The flashback ends.)

Cody Anderson (Off-Screen): Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! (Hearing a familiar voice got all three Pokémon to widen their eyes in surprise.)

Akina Sakata (Off-Screen): Cody, you don't have to overdo it with your role as leader. We are paddling in the right pattern. Also, it's paddle, not stroke. (Akina explained. Bulbasaur, Oddish and Sandshrew all walked to climb the top of the railings. They looked down and saw the Braving Charizard, wearing life jackets, paddling in two different patterns. The boys were paddling on the right while the girls were paddling on the left.)

Ezekiel Landwirt (Off-Screen): So it's paddle instead? Hmm, I guess it makes sense, but what do I know. This is my first time paddling instead of sitting on a canoe without doing much, eh. (Ezekiel said.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Now you're learning well, Ezekiel. (Natsuko said.)

[Cerulean River, Kanto Route 24 – Kanto]

(Scene switch to the teams again with the Braving Charizard paddling well as Cody narrowed his eyes and saw a railing-like structure of Cerulean City. Cody smiled. He turns around to face his teammates.)

Cody Anderson: Guys! Land AHOY! (Cody expressed but with a pirate phrase. However everyone had different expressions. Akina rose a brow in confusion, Ezekiel looked confused, Ben had a "you're kidding me" look, while Tatsumi simply rose a brow, and Natsuko didn't say anything, but frowns.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

(Cody facepalms himself for the stunt he pulled. Not that his teammates were angry with him.)

Cody Anderson: Land ahoy? It's land hoe! How could I misphrased that? (Cody said.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean River – Kanto]

Ben Jutsuku: Look! A way to climb back up to Cerulean. That's what Cody was trying to tell us. (Ben replied, having figured out what he was trying to tell them. Despite the awkwardness, they got over it as they paddled toward the section. CRASH.)

Braving Charizard: AH! (They yelled. CRASH. CRASH. They heard laughter from three familiar voices which were Heather, Anne Maria and Alejandro laughing while the rest of the Ragin Gyarados were paddling on their canoe. Daisuke was frowning disappointed by this act of unsportsmanlike, Noah was ignoring them as best as he could while looking mildly irritated and Kayoko was ignoring them. The Raging Gyarados manage to get the lead.)

Heather Hamilton: Hey, Braving Charizard! You better start casting your votes! You don't stand a chance against the Raging Gyarados under my leadership! (Heather taunted. While the Braving Charizard either ignored her or simply rolled their eyes at her comments, some of Heather's teammates got upset when she referred herself as their team leader.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Back up khaki shorts! Since when did we take orders from ya? (Anne Maria argued. This upsets Heather as she glares at her.)

Heather Hamilton: Are we seriously having this discussion again!? First of all, I'm more than qualify to be leader. Two, I won Total Drama World Tour! And-

Anne Maria Gambino: Oh, yeah. When where's your stack of millions? Oh, I forgot. You lost it when feral homeschool over there grabbed it and fell into the volcano where it burn into crispy bits. (A smart mouthed Anne Maria remarked. Ezekiel looked a bit ashamed for that part of his life he had to learned after recovering. Natsuko patted him to reassure him.)

Natsuko Bushimori: What's past is passed. Right now, you are doing really well for our team, Ezekiel. (A smiling Natsuko exclaimed.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Arigato, Natsuko. (Ezekiel expressed. His teammates except Natsuko, were astonished mildly by Ezekiel's sudden greeting using Japanese. Ezekiel was in thoughts while sharing it.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Still… I have no idea how in our world Alejandro and I managed to survive being burned by molten lava, eh? (Ezekiel admits.)

(Alejandro was standing with his arms crossed, but with a realized expression.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: He ain't wrong on that. I still have nightmares of being engulfed in lava again. (Shivering fearfully) (Alejandro mustered.)

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Back to the challenge, after the girls worn themselves out and resumed paddling, the Raging Gyarados are the first team to reach the destination. Alejandro brought out the grappling hook.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: Here we go! (Alejandro spins the grappling hook and launched it at the stone railing which manage to hold on. After testing its tightness, Alejandro turns to his teammates.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: Las damas primero, mi amor. (A smooth staring Alejandro replied at his girlfriend. A touched Heather blushes a bit, but upon realizing her teammates staring at her, she pulls it together.)

Heather Hamilton: Ah? Well, it's about time! (Heather mustered, pretending to be her non-impressive self. Heather grabs a hold of the grappling hook and she slightly turned to Alejandro, she gave him a loving wink for the comment. As she climbed to the surface floor, Alejandro closed his eyes, but reopens them with a smooth smile.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: I still love that girl. (Alejandro admits. Noah rolled his eyes, not caring of their display of affection.)

(A confused Anne Maria was sitting on her confessional with her Bulbasaur Folgia by her side and has her arms crossed.)

Anne Maria Gambino: What does that gorgeous Spaniard see in a plain, less-attracting slave driver like Heather? (Anne Maria remarked.)

Folgia (Anne Maria Gambino's Bulbasaur): (Maybe his mom dropped him on his head when he was a new hatchling?) (Folgia wondered.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(The Braving Charizard finally made it to the destination.)

Akina Sakata: Look! The Raging Gyarados! (Akina shouted. Currently, Heather, Alejandro, Daisuke, and Kayoko made it to the top, but with Noah currently climbing while an irritated Anne Maria was waiting for Noah to finished climbing, who the latter was having a hard time due to his lack of stamina and arm strength.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Come on, you wimpy bookworm! The other team is here! (Anne Maria yelled. Noah was grunting strugglingly.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Looks like we still have a chance. (Natsuko stated. Cody nodded.)

Cody Anderson: Alright! Let's get the grappling hook! (Cody said. Tatsumi got out the grappling hook and launched it up to the railing, which was able to catch and hold on tightly.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Grappling hook has made its mark and is holding on tight. (Natsuko said.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Now's our chance to win this challenge. (Tatsumi exclaimed! Soon, Natsuko was the first to climb and reach the top, followed by Ben, Tatsumi and Cody. When Noah finally reach the top, he was panting repeatedly from the tiring experience. A water bottle was in front of him as he turns to see the person offering it was Daisuke.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Here. You look a little, actual, you look really tired and sweaty. (Daisuke said astonished. Noah didn't take this offensive nor care as he grabbed the water bottle and drinks it to rehydrate.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Whoa there, Noah. The water isn't going anywhere. Didn't you take gym classes in school? (Daisuke asked. While drinking the water, Noah waved his finger sideways, saying no. Anne Maria was the last person of the Raging Gyarados climbing up, but was shocked seeing Ezekiel effortlessly climbed and reached the top.)

Anne Maria Gambino: No… f-ing… fair! (An enraged Anne Maria said in disbelief.)

Cody Anderson: Akina! You're the last one. Climb up and let's win this challenge. (Cody said. Akina nodded as she began her climbing. Anne Maria stares angrily at Akina for some reason.)

[Confessional – Outside Mode]

Anne Maria Gambino: Ever since that so-called friendly, redheaded piggy-tailed Zoey cost me a chance of romance in Revenge of the Island, I've been hating on anyone with a hair color of deep red, I would definitely make their faces turn deep red. And by red, I mean the same color from inside our bodies, if you catch my meaning. (Anne Maria snarled with a vengeance. She still didn't resolve her conflict with Zoey.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Anne Maria finally reached the city floor, much to the rest of her team's relief.)

Heather Hamilton: Finally! Now let's go to the Gym. (Heather barked. While the rest of the Raging Gyarados were running for the finish line, so to speak, Anne Maria turned to see Akina climbing up to the top. The rest of the Braving Charizard were cheering for her.)

Cody Anderson: Don't worry, Akina. You got this! (Cody said.)

Tatsumi Akeito: That's right. Face and conquer your fear! (Tatsumi added.)

Ben Jutsuku: You can do it! (Ben replied. Still upset at the sight of the redheaded Trainer getting close to the city floor, Anne Maria brought out a Poké Ball as she smirked with malice intents.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Go, Fiona! Fire Acid at the rope of that team's grappling hook! (Anne Maria ordered. Every member from the Braving Charizard were shocked when Anne Maria made that order. Her Bellsprout, nicknamed Fiona, came out and fired a spit of Acid at the middle section of the grappling hook. The acid was breaking the fiber of the cable.)

Akina Sakata (Yelped fearfully) (Her teammates were worried for her while Anne Maria was laughing remorselessly.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Have fun climbing up with a breaking rope, redhead! (Anne shouted back she went to regroup with her. Cody, Ezekiel, Ben, Tatsumi and Natsuko were glaring hatefully at the heartless, self-absorbed Trainer for causing potential endangerment of their teammate.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

(Cody was beyond mad at Anne Maria for her unfair and horrible act she committed.)

Cody Anderson: (Growls angrily) What is her problem!? Trying to sabotage us I get. Being manipulated by an antagonistic contestant, I get. But to use Pokémon to kill a person who barely did anything wrong to said accused. THAT'S where I draw the LINE!

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Anne Maria caught up with her teammates as the Raging Gyarados approached the Cerulean Gym with Kaoru waiting for the first team to arrive as a whole.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Well done, Raging Gyarados. You're the first ones here. (Kaoru stated. The Raging Gyarados roared in victory that they won the second challenge.)

Kaoru Aizawa: However…! (Soon they paused and looked at their Kanto host with confusion.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Due to the actions committed by Anne Maria here, I must give you all a 10-minute penalty. (An enraged Kaoru stated much to their dismay.)

Raging Gyarados: (Grunting sadly)

Heather Hamilton: Are you kidding me!? (Heather exclaimed hysterically. Then channel it into rage when she faced her big haired teammate.)

Heather Hamilton: Now what did you do this time!? (Heather accuses Anne Maria.)

Anne Maria Gambino: What? I don't know what she's talking about. Maybe it was… (Anne lies were almost completed until…)

Anne Maria Gambino (Recording): Go, Fiona! Fire Acid at the rope of that team's grappling hook! (Anne Maria's recorded words were heard by her shocked expressed self and the rest of the Raging Gyarados. Kaoru played a recording thanks to her Rotom Drone, a camera recording drone that has been possessed by a Rotom under the employment of the Pokémon Inc. It projects the scene it captured of Anne Maria using her Bellsprout Fiona fired its Acid at the section of the cable connected to the Charizard's grappling hook.)

Anne Maria Gambino (Recording): Have fun climbing up with a breaking rope, redhead! (Anne Maria finished before the recording stopped. Along with a glaring Kaoru, the rest of the Raging Gyarados were glaring daggers at the guilty Jersey Flower Trainer.)

Kaoru Aizawa: You accuse me of not knowing what is happening when you seem to forget that we're in a reality show. As the saying goes with "the walls have eyes and ears" I have been entrusted with not only interns but a few Rotom Drones watching and recording your every move and every actions you do. If any of you ever and I mean EVER, tried to sabotage your opposing trainers that would endanger their lives or getting them literally killed. I'll disqualify you out of the competitions like you were dying! (Kaoru snarled with a burning aura. The Raging Gyarados either gulped or yelped in fear. Soon, RING! RING! A timer appears as the 10-minute penalty began counting down. This made the Raging Gyarados depressed.)

Kaoru Aizawa: You have 10 minutes to wait. Let's see if the other team won't get here before the timer runs out. (Kaoru said. A sheepishly smiling Anne Maria saw the disappointing and disgusted looks her teammates were throwing her way.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Are you SERIOUS!? Like none of you would've done the same with your respective archrivals!? (Anne Maria screeched those words.)

Heather Hamilton: Don't get me wrong, me wanting another chance to defeat and humiliate the weird goth girl Gwen I would take. But that doesn't mean I'm crazy enough to kill nor fall into that category for as long as I live. (Heather berated Anne Maria. Despite their conflict with Heather, not even she would commit attempted murder.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: True, I still odio mi hermano, José, but I never desire his demise. Even I, the most manipulative and deceitful player in Total Drama History have morals. (Alejandro added. Noah shook his head in disappointment, with Daisuke with a disappointed frown crossed his arms and Kayoko simply frown and turned her back on Anne Maria. Back to the Braving Charizard, as 2 minutes passed, Cody and the others were working as fast as they can to figure a way for Akina to climb as the cable was barely hanging on.)

Cody Anderson: Akina! What's happening!? (Cody said to Akina. Akina was shaking in struggle.)

Akina Sakata: Not well. Every time I tried climbing up, the rope keeps tearing. (Yell) (Akina shouted as the cable kept tearing. Cody and the others were worried for her.)

Akina Sakata: Guys listen. (Akina said. Everyone turned their attention toward Akina. Akina with her eyes covered.)

Akina Sakata: If it isn't much trouble… leave me so I can let go and fall into the river. (Akina mustered. This shocked Cody and the others to gasp.)

Cody Anderson: What!? (A speechless Cody mustered.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Leave you behind!? (Ezekiel added while he still couldn't believe what she said.)

Akina Sakata: Listen… because of what Anne Maria did, it is likely Miss Aizawa gave the Gyarados a 10-minute penalty for trying to fatally harm one of us. I'm gonna let go of this rope so I can swim to the shore at Route 4. (Akina explained her reason.)

Cody Anderson: That's crazy! (Cody replied.)

Ben Jutsuku: Cody's right! We don't know if you'll survive the fall!? (Ben added. Akina didn't look up but was struggling from sobbing.)

Akina Sakata: Maybe so, but if I live or die, it will give us an automatic win. And this time it's elimination. Two of them will battle to keep their place in the competition. So don't worry about me. Win this challenge. (A sad smiling Akina said.)

Tatsumi Akeito: What you said makes no sense! A true warrior doesn't win a war by themselves. (Tatsumi stated.)

Natsuko Bushimori: That's right. Over and over, you've shown us your conviction and passion for us and the Pokémon we catch and meet. You're an important member of our team. We won't just abandon you! (Natsuko lectured.)

Cody Anderson: They're right, Akina. We need you just as much as you need us. (Cody said.)

Akina Sakata: Trust me Cody. You don't need or want someone like me. (Akina stated, despite how much it was hurting her saying that.)

Cody Anderson: What do you mean by that? Why don't you want me and the others to save you? (Cody asked.)

Akina Sakata: I don't…

Cody Anderson: You don't what!? (Cody said.)

Akina Sakata: BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK OF ME LIKE SIERRA! (Akina shouted fiercely. Cody widen his eyes in shocking surprise. Not just because of Akina's confession, but when looking at her face, was filled of sadness and tears springing out of her eyes. Akina was crying sincerely and upset despite the danger to her life.)

Akina Sakata: BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE BOY, THE MAN I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE TO GET BRUTALIZED ALL BECAUSE OF ME AND SOME AWFUL PERVERTS TRYING TO FORCE THEMSELVES ON ME! (Sob) (Sob) (Sobbing uncontrollably) (Akina couldn't hold back her tears. For the first time, Cody, Ben, Tatsumi, Natsuko and even Ezekiel were shocked seeing their teammate filled with sadness and tears.)

Cody Anderson: Akina, what are you talking? Of course, you're not Sierra. I don't feel creeped out or annoyed like I do when I'm around her. You're different from her. And what are you talking about? Were you harassed or…? (Silence was in the air until Akina decided to talk.)

Akina Sakata: You know how there are typical bullies in yours and every school in North America. (Akina asked. Cody nodded.)

Akina Sakata: Well, imagine if you were born a pretty girl in Japan that slowly grew to be beautiful. It draws attention of many admirers, sure. But not if the first two boys I ever fall for were bleeding to death after an aggressive encounter with perverted alpha male types. (Akina said while sobbing. Cody gasped along with Ezekiel. The other three didn't react like the Canadian Trainers, due to them being from Japan and very aware of men and guys like those Akina described. A flashback starts. 11 years ago. In Ome, a 6-year-old Akina, in her elementary school uniform, was admired due to her friendliness and beauty. Some girls were upset that she was hogging all the attentions with the boy, while some girls were befriending her, and a few boys were smirking at her darkly. Next scene shows a young Akina being approached by a bob cut black hair 7-year-old boy with grey eyes, watching a black school uniform, glasses and tennis shoes.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): Believe it or not, you weren't the first boy I had a crush on. It was when I was starting elementary school. This boy who was a second grader, his name was Haruto Saito. He was a nice, smart and considerable boy I ever met. He was aiming to be student body president when he got older. Out of all the boy that I develop a crush, he was the first to confess to me.) (Akina said. A blushing and nervous Haruto bows before a surprise Akina.)

Haruto Saito (Flashback): M-Miss Sakata. I-I reallylikeyou! (Haruto confessed in a fast pace. Younger Akina gasped speechless.)

Haruto Saito (Flashback): Will you please go out with me!? (Haruto asked. Akina was touched by this, evidenced by the blush on her cheeks.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Of course. I really like you too, Haruto. (Akina said. Haruto smiles in a good relief.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): It was the happiest day in my life. I wasn't in my teens and yet I got asked out by an upper grade boy until… (A scene changes, showing a few days later, Akina was grunting fearfully as a trio of 5th Grade Boys were gripping tightly on her red hair.)

5th Grade Boy 1 (Flashback): (Laughing cruelly)

5th Grade Minions (Flashback): (Chuckling cruelly) (A fourth boy, their leader was the one restraining Akina who was struggling to break free.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): Wow, you're pretty. I don't get why all the boys from grades 1 to 4 would want to date a girl with dyed hair. (He berated while complimenting her looks. Akina was looking sadden by this mistreatment.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): It's not dyed. This is my natural hair color. (Akina corrects them.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): Is that right. (He asked. Akina nodded. Soon, he brought out a pair of scissors, much to the young redhead's shock.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): Let's see how natural or pretty you are once we get rid of this ridiculous hair. (He said.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): No! (Groaning unyielding.) (Just as the boys were nearing the closest section of hair, a lunchbox was thrown and hits one of the 5th Grade boys. Soon a metal bat was swung, and BAM hits the second one in the back of the head. The two remaining bullies were surprised to Haruto was the one with the bat.)

Haruto Saito (Flashback): HEY! 5th GRADERS! LEAVE AKINA ALONE! (Haruto demanded!)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): OH! And who are you? Her boyfriend! (He retorted as the last underling ran toward Haruto.)

Haruto Saito (Flashback): As a matter of fact… (Haruto pushed his bat forward and BAM hit the last underling in the kiwis! The third 5th Grader's eyes bulge out in extensive pain.)

Haruto Saito (Flashback): I am! (Haruto declared.)

5th Grade Boy 3 (Flashback): (Groaning painfully) (He mustered as he fell down unconscious. Mustering the strength, Akina bites the 5th Grader's hand by the thumb section.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): (Screaming painfully) (The 5th Grader dropped the scissors, giving Haruto the opening he waited for. Haruto swings the bat at his back.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): (Screams painfully) (The 5th Grade bully released his grip of Akina as Haruto lungs himself at the bully and began to strike him repeatedly. Despite his small stater, he was inflicting injuries at the struggling 5th Grader who was slowly but reached his scissors.)

5th Grade Leader (Flashback): If you love her that much, then you can die for her! (He barked as he swung his opened scissor and SLASH cut across Haruto's neck. This got Haruto to be shocked fearfully and a frighten Akina to stare petrify in the 5th Grader's cruel action. Once the slow motioned Haruto fell to the ground, Akina led her tears runs.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): NOOOO! (Akina screamed in despair. Soon, a teacher heard her screams.)

Teacher (Flashback): What's going on here!? (Stared shocked) (The teacher saw a bleeding Haruto pressing down on his opened wound, a busted 5th Grade bully holding the scissors that had blood covering on their edges and a crying Akina. More and more students were arriving at the scene.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): These 5th Graders were gonna cut my hair off. But Haruto came to save me. That big kid used those scissors and cut his throat. Please help Haruto! (Akina pleaded. The teacher leans in and reassures the crying Akina.)

Teacher: Don't worry, Sakata. I'll take care of this. (He said gently. He turns to stare angrily at the shaking 5th Grader as security came and restrained the other three 5th Graders.)

Teacher (Flashback): Come on, Oyamada! You're in big trouble for assaulting on a younger classmate and endangering another student's life! (He forcibly moved the leader, known as Oyamada to the principal's office and potentially/possibly got all four of them expelled.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): The bullies got their well-deserved punishment. They were expelled for life and Haruto was able to recover from the incident. However, his family didn't want me to see him. They blamed me for dragging their son into the mess and didn't want me anywhere near him. Nobody said anything bad to me, but most of my admirers decided to do everything for me ever since. Thinking I was defenseless. (Akina said. Scene shows everything Akina mentioned. The next scene flashforwards into 6 years. At Nakamaru Junior High School. Akina, now 12 years old, was at a back of a building in the school ground was a 14-year-old boy with fair skin, messy-like kept brown hair with spiky bangs, navy blue eyes wearing a white-collar shirt, a yellow t-shirt underneath, black pants and brown shoes.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): And on my first year in Junior High, I received the same type of admirers, but the only difference being that the girls there were more hostile when a new girl got more boys drooling over her than them. One day, an 8th Grader, Akira Higashiwa asked me to meet him after class. It was déjà vu all over again. (Akina said. Like with Haruto, Akira bows to an astonished Akina.)

Akira Higashiwa (Flashback): Miss Sakata, you are the most beautiful, intelligent and talented girl I've ever met. Will you go out with me? (Akira asked. Akina was touched, but frowns about what this would mean for Akira.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): While I was happy that he wanted me for me, I felt that I didn't deserve it. I tried telling you of what happened to Haruto. While he understood, he reassured me that won't happen again. He told me he was a top student in physical education classes with near above average grades. I was scared at first but decided to give love another chance. (She said. Once Akina nodded, Akira flashed out a big goofy smile in excitement. Scene changed to display the places Akina, and Akira went, such as going shopping, sharing an ice cream cone, riding on a merry-go-round and watching fireworks.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): For the first time since Elementary, I was glad to have a boyfriend again who wasn't afraid of what other admirers might react that he was the lucky one. I felt calm and confident with Akira. But reality, oh how it could be truly cruel for what happened the next day. (Akina said. Next scene shows a struggling Akina trying to break free from a band of punks was they were ripping off some fabric of her clothes.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): (Grunting fearfully)

Punk #1 (Flashback): Man, check out the nice features this chick has. (He said to his friends. Another was rubbing Akina's breast, much to her widen eye shock.)

Punk #2 (Flashback): Whoa! Check out her breast! They're so elastic and soft. (He said.)

Punk #3 (Flashback): Well what do you expect of a virgin beauty like her. (He added.)

Punk #1 (Flashback): Wait a minute? Is she a virgin? (He wondered.)

Punk #4 (Flashback): Well, only one way to know. (He answered as he brought out a razor blade. Two more punks grabbed a hold on her legs. Akina struggles to break free, despite the futility. But before the fourth punk could rip off her underwear… BAM!)

Punk 4, 5 & 6 (Flashback): (SCREAMS PAINFULLY) (The three punks were struck down by a bat swinging Akira.)

Punk #3 (Flashback): What the- (BAMM! The third punk didn't have a chance to finished after receiving a bat swing to the face as a few teeth were flying out from his mouth. The two remaining punks were frozen in shock by the sudden appearance of Akira. They tried to cowardly run away but were beaten down by Akira. During this, Akina was getting up and thanks to Akira's kind gesture, he managed to get her back on her feet.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Akira. (Shrieked embarrassedly) (Akira covered her exposed cleavage, ashamed of her nearly got raped. Thankfully, Akira wasn't mad or disappointed, instead, he offered her his black school jacket.)

Akira Higashiwa (Flashback): Here, Akina. Take my jacket so you can cover yourself. (Akira explained. After Akina grabbed a hold of the jacket, she noticed the blushes her boyfriend was trying in vain to covered, she giggled a bit at how he still loved her. A door opened.)

Punk #7 (Flashback): Hey are you guys almost done with our latest- What the hell!? (He shouted in shock and anger upon seeing the beaten forms of their comrades. A serious Akira got back into his fighting stance with his bat facing them. A new punk brought out an umbrella and charged to strike him until Akira intersects him.)

Akira Higashiwa (Flashback): RUN AKINA! GET TO THE NEAREST POLICE STATION! I'LL CATCH UP AFTER I'M DONE! (Akira shouted. Hesitated at first, but a guilt filled reluctant Akina ran away heading to the police.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): It was the worst act of cowardice I ever did in my life. I ran until I found the police station. After I told them everything in that alley, they deployed officers to find and arrest those men. They kindly drove me home, where my family were relieved that I was alright. (Akina said. Scene shows everything that occurred. The next scene shows Akina looking anxious after the events that happened, but mostly waiting for any news about her boyfriend Akira. KNOCK! KNOCK! Soon, Akina and her sister Asami and their parents opened the front door and saw, much to her shock, a battered and heavily bruised Akira.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Akira!? (Akina mustered.)

Akira Higashiwa (Flashback): (Pant) (Pant) (Pant) (Akira repeated out of exhaustion.)

Akira Higashiwa (Flashback): I told you I would… catch… up… (Akira mustered as he fell to the ground, but thankfully her father got him. Akina was fighting hard to hold back her tears.)

Akira Higashiwa: A-Akina. This is not your fault. The men who assaulted are on their way to prison right now. I-I don't care what people say about you. I'm- glad… glad to have you for a girlfriend… don't lose… hope. (Akira finished before he fainted. In a short moment, Akina released her tears as she cries uncontrollably as Asami, and their mother embraced to comfort her. Next scene shows Akina inside her room the next day.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): Mr. and Mrs. Higashiwa, I'm so sorry! I never meant to let this happen to (Yelp painfully) (Akina was slapped by Akira's mother.)

Mrs. Higashiwa (Voice-Over): Oh you never meant to? You got my son nearly dead because of the way you look and how bad things seem to be attracted to you! (Mrs. Higashiwa said, accusing Akina.)

Mr. Higashiwa (Voice-Over): Ami, wait, let's- (Mr. Higashiwa was cut off by his wife.)

Mrs. Higashiwa (Voice-Over): Let's what Akihiro!? Hold back on how this little harlot got our boy nearly killed by those drunkards and gangbangers. She is nothing but trouble! (Ami screamed angrily.)

Mr. Sakata (Voice-Over): The hell you say, you ungrateful bitch! (Mr. Sakata cursed, in defend of his daughter.)

Mrs. Sakata (Voice-Over): Dear, please watch your language. And you, Mrs. Higashiwa. You don't you dare place the blame on my daughter because of a bunch of disgusting men's actions! The fault lies with them, not her! (Mrs. Sakata added.)

Mrs. Higashiwa (Voice-Over): If my son does survive this, I don't want your little demonic girl anywhere near her. I'll forbid him from ever seeing her. (Ami declared.)

Mrs. Sakata (Voice-Over): I pity you. For being not only sympathetic but having a narrow-mindset and presuming my daughter as the cause of the real guilty parties. When your son wakes up and learns what you said to Akina, he'll hate you for it. (Mrs. Sakata finished. A moment of silence was in the atmosphere as Akina tighten her hug on her knees.)

Mr. Sakata (Voice-Over): Akina. Sweetie, listen. I am gonna make some arrangement with your school. Starting next week, you'll be taking POC (private online classes). That way you won't have to face any bullying or being distracted because of their baseless accusations. (Her father said.)

Mrs. Sakata (Voice-Over): Don't worry honey. We won't do it unless you want to. The choice is all yours (Her mother said. Akina losen her grip and instead of her kind, confident face, it was a face filled with a frown of loneliness and emptiness.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): It doesn't matter. Nothing in life matters to me anymore. (Akina declared in a dull tone. Next scene shows a frowning Akina taking private lessons from tutors in person and online alike. Her doing homework, with one scenario having her mother gathering her dirty laundry but frowning with concern for her daughter. Also, during that period of her life, her father gave her a gift, which she opened and saw a Nintendo DSi and a cartridge of Pokémon Platinum, which began her second life as a Pokémon video gamer.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): Once Akira was out of my life, I chosen to seclude myself. If I was the bane of anyone's existence, I would detach myself from the world outside and focus more on my studies and taking breaks when I need to. I was tired of the world using me for their cruel humor. I kept believing it for four years until the day, I saw the person who restored my old passionate, and confident self. (Akina said. Four years passed. After finishing her assigned homework, Akina turned on her TV and changed the channel to Fresh TV.)

Cody Anderson (TV Screen): Having to defuse a bomb, under pressure. (This caught Akina's attention as she saw the channel featuring Total Drama Island. The two episodes later, Akina saw Cody covered in bandages.)

Cody Anderson (Confessional): I was so psyched to be a deer. I'm small, but I'm quick. Lots of practice from dodging spitballs in math class. (Cody said.)

Cody Anderson (TV Screen): Nah! I'm trying to get a tan, for the ladies. (Cody expressed.)

Cody Anderson (TV Screen): If we live, I promise to kiss Sierra! (Silence) What? Like we're gonna make it. (Cody admitted during the Niagara Falls episode.)

Cody Anderson (TV Screen): "I'd never thought I come this far." "let's face it, I'm no TV star." "But now I'm in the final three!" (Cody sang. Akina's frown slowly turned into a small smile. When her parents and sister got home, they paused to see to their surprise, Akina looking happy at the show she's watching. For 25 days, Akina saw Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action reruns and saw the entire Total Drama World Tour in each of her breaks all while keeping up to her studies and Pokémon gaming. Her parents and Asami were crying tears of joy at the sight of Akina regaining her kind, caring and confident self again, evidenced by her smile.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): I never thought I could ever smile again. But watching you compete on the show, helped me regain my old self filled with hope and joy of a brighter future. It inspired me enough that when the Pokémon Inc. announced their shared TV series with Fresh TV's new series Total Drama Pokémon Adventure, I decided to make an audition tape with Asami. (Akina said. Scene shows Akina setting up her camera with Asami in the room.)

Asami Sakata (Flashback): Are you sure you wanna do this, sis? I hear Total Drama is hosted by that sadistic man Chris McLean who was released from prison. (Asami asked.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): I'm sure, Asami. That's why I want you to come with me. I already have mom and dad's permission, but only if you and I go together. Besides our cousin, Chinami is auditioning too. Come on, Asami. How many Pokémon video gamers long dreamed to become actual Pokémon Trainers. It's a once in a lifetime chance to explore the Pokémon World. (Akina said. After thinking it over, Asami nodded. Soon the camera starts recording as a smiling Akina face it with her twin sister Asami.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Hi! I'm Akina and this is big sister Asami. (Akina said.)

Asami Sakata (Flashback): Technically I'm older by two minutes. We're twins. (Asami said.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Not only that but part-time Pokémon gamers. (Akina added.)

Asami Sakata (Flashback): Geez you make it sound like gaming is an actual job. (Asami teased kindly. Which got Akina to stick her touch out at her.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Anyway, I used to be full of excitement and accepting of new people but entering elementary school and junior high made me lose the first two guys I ever had the chance to call boyfriend. I mean, I'm no cheater or anything. (Breather) All I want is a chance to go into the Pokémon World because it was one of the only refuges I had after my ex-es were harmed by horrible boys and men. (Akina said humbly.)

Asami Sakata (Flashback): And it wasn't just Pokémon that saved her, but Total Drama too had a part in restoring my little sis's good old self. And if I have a chance to go with her then it will be an adventure we will enjoy. Plus she has a certain- (Akina huffs at Asami.)

Akina Sakata (Flashback): Don't jinx me already by telling them that silly fling! (A hysterical Akina said in mock anger. They both pretend to be mad and were duking it out before they fell on the ground.)

Akina & Asami (Flashback): (Laughing happily) (Both sisters were happy that they could finally have fun together after so long of Akina's isolation for four years.)

Akina Sakata (Voice-Over): A few months later, I received my envelope saying my sister and I got accepted into the first season of Total Drama Pokémon Adventure! It was a miracle knowing that things were finally turning around, and I would have a chance to get my very own Pokémon and most of all, meeting you. (Akina finished. After the scene of Akina and Asami were amazed and then hugging happily that they will compete in Total Drama Pokémon Adventure, the flashback ends. Back to the present, Akina was still crying now that she revealed her hidden past. Tatsumi was shocked, Natsuko hide her eyes but wasn't unmoved, Ezekiel growls viciously, and Cody was quiet while his eyes were covered. Thinking that she lost her friendship with her teammates, Akina closed her eyes.)

Akina Sakata: (It was too good to be true. Who would be friends with a girl like me? Who would fall in love with a demonic child? Even for a short time, I had a good experience getting to know each and every one of you.) (Akina said in her mind. Akina let go of the cable and slowly was falling to the river and potential fall into her death. Slow motion style, Cody reacted and grabbed the cable.)

Akina Sakata: (Goodbye, my friends. Goodbye, Cody-kun. You will always be my hero.) (But in a nick of time, a hand managed to grab Akina's wrist. Akina gasped, noticing how she stopped moving. She turned to see it was none other than Cody who saved her. Akina stared in confusing surprise but realized the look on Cody's face. It was filled with breaking tears and a serious, determine face.)

Cody Anderson: Don't! Don't blame yourself… Because of the words of hypocrites and cowards who use the excuse of blaming others instead of themselves. I don't think of you as a bringer of trouble or a demonic child. You're very precious to me and all our friends in the Braving Charizard. (Cody said while facing the urge to cry. Soon Akina saw the others struggling from crying as well but was touched to learn how much she means to them.)

Cody Anderson: Akina… I had no idea you had a good crush on me based on how I was doing in Total Drama Island and World Tour. The fact that I inspired you to bring your confidence and joy back to your life, it make me more attracted to you. (Cody confessed.)

Akina Sakata: (Gasped surprised) Cody…?! (Akina realized. Cody let out a small smile despite his struggle hanging on the cable.)

Cody Anderson: Akina, ever since I got to know you in these last few days, I felt more relaxed and serious of how brave you are when facing Team Rocket. You help me grow strong, just like I helped you heal. Akina, I'm in love with you. (Cody confessed. Akina was speechless when Cody confessed his feelings.)

Cody Anderson: And I know what you're going to say. I know the doubts you have at trying out a relationship again, but I won't let anything hurt you. We're both Pokémon Trainers and we can get stronger together! We can do it! Let's catch them all! (Cody finished. Akina cries, but instead of sadness, she was smiling in happiness.)

Akina Sakata: Even in the risk of potential death… you're so romantic with your words. (Akina cried before she nodded in agreement. Out of nowhere, a long pair of green vines came out of nowhere and entangles around right wrist. Cody and Akina gasped in surprise to see it was the wild Bulbasaur who came to their rescue.)

Cody and Akina: Bulbasaur! (They cried in unison. Despite the duo's combined weight, Bulbasaur was doing a fine work pulling them up. Soon, Oddish came into feature, much to the Braving Charizard's surprise.)

Akina Sakata: Is that Oddish too? (Akina asked. Oddish turn to briefly see Akina. She smiles at her redheaded friend.)

Wild Oddish: | Hi Akina! It's good to see you again. | (Oddish said before she resumes to push Bulbasaur back in order to pull them up. Ezekiel caught the familiar scent again.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Huh? This scent! (Ezekiel mustered before he turned to see it was the wild Sandshrew, holding what looks to be a makeshift grappling hook composed of an escape rope, a few big quills and glue used to stick them together.)

Ben Jutsuku: Whoa, a Sandshrew? Where did it come from? (Ben asked. Ezekiel got out his Pokédex and scans the Mouse Pokémon.)

Ezekiel's Pokédex: "Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. It burrows deep underground in arid locations far from water. It only emerges to hunt for food." (The Pokédex answered. Natsuko got next to Ezekiel.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Do you suppose this Sandshrew… (Ezekiel nodded.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: This must be the same Sandshrew we rescued from Team Rocket's clutches back in Mt. Moon. (Ezekiel realized.)

Wild Sandshrew: | Yes. Sorry for making you worry for nothing. I came all the way from my home to thank you. I didn't mean to get you upset. | (Sandshrew said while apologizing for his actions. Despite the frown on Ezekiel's face, he turned it into a smile.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Well, I know I should be mad, but I can't deny how impressed I am that you travel miles to find me. Still, you want to make it up to me, then let's save Cody and Akina together. (Ezekiel stated. Sandshrew nodded.)

Ben Jutsuku: Cody! Ezekiel and the Sandshrew have another grappling hook. I've gonna drop it down. Once you're in reach, grab it. (Ben shouted. Cody nodded. The second grappling hook fell down. Cody pressed tightly and with a few rotating moves, let go of the damaged grappling hook and hold on the second one tightly despite the painful sharp ends of the quills.)

Ben Jutsuku: Frenzyleaf, our friends need help with your Vine Whip. It's hero time! (Ben declared.)

Natsuko Bushimori: You too Kusahime. Use Vine Whip on Akina's left wrist to pull them up. (Natsuko order as both brought forth their Grass/Poison Pokémon, Frenzyleaf and Kusahime.)

Frenzyleaf & Kusahime (Ivysaur & Bulbasaur.): | We're on it! | (They said in unison. They brought out their vines and quickly they were to tie their vines around Cody's upper body and Akina's left wrist. Soon, Natsuko grabbed her Bulbasaur, Kusahime in her hands with Tatsumi embracing her arm around Natsuko. Ezekiel and Ben grabbed their sections of the grappling hook tightly. And Bulbasaur, with Oddish facing his front and Sandshrew grabbing Bulbasaur in the back.)

Cody Anderson: Now's the time! Everyone, TOGETHER! PULL! (Cody screamed. At that command, every official and unofficial member of the Braving Charizard pulls with screaming determination and persistence! Slowly, but miraculously pulled them up to the surface. CRASH! The dust is set, and Cody was laying on his back on the ground with Akina on top on him. Once they regained consciousness, both Akina and Cody opened their eye, only to bulge them once they saw… their lips pressed together. Once they separated, they took a few breathers but couldn't make their blushes go away as they both stare at each other lovingly.)

[Confessional – Office Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(A shocked looking Cody faced the camera still astonished by the kiss.)

Cody Anderson: It's let what it looks like… I mean don't get me wrong… (Camera switches to Akina's confessional, who had the same expression.)

Akina Sakata: It's not that I didn't like the kiss… (Camera switches to Cody.)

Cody Anderson: If anything I can honestly say…

Akina Sakata: The kiss was… (Camera turns on both Confessionals as they changed their shocked expression into a loving one.)

Cody & Akina: Magical! (They confessed in unison.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Soon the human and Pokémon members of their teams surrounded Akina. As both parties were staring each other in silence, the Braving Charizard leans toward and embrace Akina in a caring hug.)

Tatsumi Akeito: We heard everything, Akina. Circumstances aside, you are not the guilty party. You're our friend. (Tatsumi said while sobbing a bit.)

Ben Jutsuku: It doesn't matter to us about your past and what you were unfairly called. We're your friends and we would never abandon our friends. (Ben said with equal sobbing.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Despite our current selves, even we have experienced tragedies like you. (Natsuko mustered despite her persistence from sobbing.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: I used to think I was the only one suffering, but hearing your story make me feel a lot more awful that you went through all of that. I am truly glad I have you for a friend, eh. (A sobbing Ezekiel mustered. Cody responded first by kissing her in the forehead.)

Cody Anderson: I promise you, nothing bad will happen to you nor to us. Because together we're an unstoppable team. Akina, you are the best girl I ever met. You're pretty, smart, kind, caring and you're a total Pokémon fan like me. If you like, can I be your boyfriend? (Cody asked while complimenting her. Akina, filled with happiness and excitement, she laughs kindly. Confused at first, but once Akina kissed Cody in the lips again, the answer was obvious.)

Akina Sakata: Yes. Of course my geek charming. (Akina answered with a pun. Everyone smiles at this. Cody and Akina have become a couple. After that, Ezekiel accepted Sandshrew's request to join his Pokémon Team and caught him. Soon, Cody and Akina, happy to see and accepting their Grass/Poison Pokémon friends for their help caught Bulbasaur and Oddish respectively, but their Balls were transported to their PC Box. The change switches to where the Raging Gyarados were waiting for the timer to end. Two minutes are left.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Two minutes are left. Hmm? (Kaoru said. Confused, the Raging Gyarados turn to their Kanto Host's direction and widen their eyes in shock to see the running forms of their opponents, the Braving Charizard.)

Kaoru Aizawa: It's seemed you're safe Anne Maria. For now at least. (Kaoru stated. Anne Maria looked nervous around her glaring teammates for getting them a penalty and nearly killing someone. Tatsumi ran faster than humanly possible along with Natsuko. Both young women stared at each other with a sense of friendly rivalry between them. They are the first ones to reach the gym. Next was a running Ezekiel on all four, using his arms as upper legs, like a quadrivial animal and reached the gym. Ben was jogging as fast as he can, despite the energy he was burning out quickly, yet he finally reached the gym. Cody and Akina were fasting to reach for the Cerulean Gym as well. During the run, Akina accidentally stepped on an open part of the ground as she screamed in reaction. Cody heard her.)

Cody Anderson: Akina! (Cody yelled. Just before Akina touched the ground, Cody ate some sugar candy and with its high amount of energy, he rushed effortlessly toward his girlfriend and grabbed her by the front.)

Akina Sakata: Cody!? (Akina mustered.)

Cody Anderson: I always keep my promises, Akina. (Cody said. Soon, he carries Akina, but in bridal style, much to the redhead's blushing embarrassment.)

Cody Anderson: I will never go down, never stop fighting to protect what I love. That's my way as a Pokémon Trainer! (A serious Cody declared. One-minute remains. Despite that, Cody rushes with intense speed as this made the Raging Gyarados anxious, hoping that Cody doesn't make it. Founding a way to redeem herself, Anne Maria put her foot in the way where Cody was rushing toward. However, thanks to his willpower, his sugar crazed state enable him to see at far distance and saw Anne Maria's trick. Just he was gonna fall for her trap, Cody jumps high in the air, doing a cartwheel in the air and finally just as the timer got to 5! 4! 3! 2! BUZZ! Cody and Akina made it to the gym, ending the timer as Kaoru and the Raging Gyarados were speechless by what they saw. Cody was panting repeatedly, with his high-level sugar rush having ended. Still, Cody was still carrying his girlfriend without letting go.)

Cody Anderson: (Pant) Well Miss. Aizawa… (Pant) How did we do? (A tired looking Cody mustered. Shockingly, Kaoru Aizawa gave them the biggest grin she could make, filled with pride and satisfactory.)

Kaoru Aizawa: (This kid! Is insanely remarkable!) (Kaoru thought. After composing herself, Kaoru got to business.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Now with both teams I am proud to announce that the victors of this Cerulean Challenge are the Braving Charizard! (Kaoru announced. The Braving Charizard were cheering proudly. The Raging Gyarados reacted in sadness and disappointment.)

Kaoru Aizawa: That means tonight will be the first elimination battle. Prepare yourselves for what will come. (Kaoru said.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Which Gyarados will have to battle each other to stay in the competition? What kind of battle will the Charizard have against the Gym Leader? We'll continue these outcomes right after these commercials. (Kaoru finished as the scene blacks out.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]

(It was noon time and inside the large yet more impressive water-theme Pokémon Gym of Cerulean that was perfect for Water-Types. Since Chef was with Chris are on their way to Hoenn, an actual Gym ref was readying himself for the first Gym Battle. Kaoru was handing out the rewards the Braving Charizard won. A basket filled with 12 stones that has crystalized deep water, and six sets of 10 Great Balls.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Here you go. Not only do you have earned a set of 10 Great Balls and a basket of Water Stones. But you have also gained two more PC Boxes, which means you can keep a total 90 Pokémon. (Kaoru said. Every member of the Braving Charizard were thrilled with the rewards they have earned.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Wow! This is truly a miracle. (Sobbing hysterically) Especially since I won't be the first one to be voted out or beaten out of the contest so soon. (Ezekiel stated while drying his tears with his newly bought black jacket. After they won the challenges, Ezekiel took the new attire offer and with Natsuko's help, not only get he get some spare clothes, but he changed his attire. Gone were his hat and old hoodie, his new attire composed of a black jacket with light cream furred collar, a green T-shirt with a square shaped Poké Ball Logo with the upper and button shapes being shades of brown, black wristbands, darken blue jeans, black and green shoes. Soon a familiar face appeared.)

Misty: If you have time to sob, then it's time to battle! (All Contestant Trainers and Kanto Host turned to see a familiar orange hair 16-year-old girl with a left sided ponytail, green eyes, fair skin, wearing a yellow tank top, jean shorts with red suspenders, white and red tennis shoes. It was the tomboyish mermaid Gym Leader…)

Braving Charizard: (Gasped) It's Misty! (They shouted in unison.)

[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]

[Futuristic Click]

(Using the confessional for the first time was Misty, the Cerulean Gym Leader, Water-Type Pokémon Trainer and Daisuke's Girlfriend.)

Misty: Hello audience from a different world. I'm Misty and yes, I'm fully aware of how in your world, I was considered just a video game character. I saw the frown Daisuke had during our time and after being in contact with the Total Drama Pokémon personnel, I was a bit shock, but flattered that some, if not most people are fans of mine than that of my sisters. With Daisuke being my biggest fan. But that had little matter when we went on our first date. Compare to most of his teammates he's the only good guy among them. He's not only cute, but kind and encouraging. I'm lucky to have such a keeper. (Misty said all of that. Then she widen her eyes upon noticing the confessional she was inside of.)

Misty: Okay. I know Daisuke told about these, but where did this confessional come from? (Misty asked.)

[Futuristic Click]

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]

Ezekiel Landwirt: You sure about this, Natsuko. (Ezekiel asked as Natsuko is the first Pokémon Trainer to challenge Misty.)

Natsuko Bushimori: of course I am, Ezekiel. You're not the only one who needs to prove their worth in this journey. (Natsuko stated before she winked at him romantically. Ezekiel gulped while he looked away to hide his blushes.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: This battle will be between Natsuko Bushimori of Hino City and Misty the Cerulean Gym Leader. This will be a two-on-two battle. Only the challenger will be allowed to switch during battles. The Trainer's last Pokémon standing wins. (Both Natsuko and Misty were staring against with silent, fierce and confidential grins.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: Now, let's the first match… BEGIN! (He declared. Natsuko and Misty brought out their own Poké Ball.)

Misty: Go Staryu! (Misty said as the Poké Ball opened and out came a golden-brown, starfish-like Pokémon with five appendages, a core resembling a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around its lower left point.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Prepare yourself Kinokoro! (Natsuko said as her Poké Ball opened and out came a familiar Bug/Grass type Pokémon.)

Kinokoro (Natsuko Bushimori's Paras): | At once, my lady! | (Kinokoro, a female Paras, replied. Some of the Braving Charizard were mildly surprised to see a new Pokémon their purple haired teammate has. Ezekiel wasn't surprised by intrigued.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Hmm, so she went for Kinokoro after all. Then again, she did find her interesting enough to add her in her team back at Mt. Moon. (Ezekiel said. The others were surprise that Ezekiel was the only one who knew but got over it when they remembered that they were dragging the Team Rocket grunts over to the police at Pewter City. Akina brought out her Pokédex and scans Kinokoro.)

Ben Jutsuku: And the Pokémon Misty is using for this match is a Staryu. (Ben added as he scans it with his Pokédex.)

Akina's Pokédex: "Paras, the Mushroom Pokémon. It burrows to suck tree roots. The mushrooms on its back grow by drawing nutrients from the bug host." (The Pokédex explained.)

Ben's Pokédex: "Staryu, the Star Shape Pokémon. An enigmatic Pokémon that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle. As long as the center section is unharmed, it can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits." (The Pokédex finished.)

Misty: Use Tackle! (Misty commanded her Staryu to attack.)

Misty's Staryu: | On it. | (Staryu said in an objective tone.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Dodge it using Agility. (Natsuko counters.)

Kinokoro (Natsuko Bushimori's Paras): | Of course, my lady. | (Kinokoro said as she was empowered with Psychic-Type energy that drastically increased her Speed. Kinokoro effortlessly dodged Staryu's Tackle.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Paralyze it with Stun Spore. (Natsuko ordered. Kinokoro draws forth and unleashed it's yellow-colored spores known as Stun Spore at Staryu directly. The effects work and it was in a state of paralysis.)

Misty: Quickly Staryu! Jumped into the pool! (Misty commanded. Staryu managed to get into the pool despite its paralysis. Once inside the waters of the pool Staryu instantly was recovered from paralysis along with having the Stun Spores being washed off. Staryu resurfaces back to the battlefield.)

Misty's Staryu: | Your status move strategy couldn't have worked even if I had remained on the surface. | (Staryu said to their opponent.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Hmm, the way Staryu was able to recover in a mere 1.7 minutes. I take it was… (A confident smiling Misty nodded.)

Misty: You guess right! It was the special cleaning properties of the pool filters I placed on the gym pool every time I need to change it. Normally, I would use a switching tactic so that Staryu's Natural Cure ability would've kicked in. (Misty answered. Ezekiel got intrigued by this.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: (Hmmm, Natural Cure, eh? From what Natsuko taught me, Natural Cure will only activate when a Trainer retreats their status effected Pokémon back and switched them out for another one. However, this is an official Gym match. Only the challenger can be allowed to switch between battles. Why do I have a feeling that there are some moves that could prove to be an exception to that rule for Gym Leader, eh?) (Ezekiel said in his thought.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Agility, quick! (Natsuko ordered. Kinokoro's Agility boost up her Speed stats.)

Misty: Staryu! Use Swift! (Misty commanded. Staryu channels energy to manifest several star-like attack and were fired at the speed fast Kinokoro until they land their marks. Kinokoro groans. Once the dust set, Kinokoro was nowhere to be seen.)

Misty: Stay vigilant, Staryu. Kinokoro could be anywhere, even… (Misty widen her eyes at the realization of Kinokoro's whereabouts. Having found her opening, Natsuko reopens her eyes, and it has a burning sight of determination.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Strike Staryu with Cross Poison! (Natsuko commanded. Kinokoro jumped out of the pool, fully healed, and generated with Poison Type energy engulfing her foremost legs.)

Kinokoro (Natsuko Bushimori's Paras): | Bushimori Dojo Lesson #1: "A calm, concentrated mind can pierce through the raging seas!" | (Kinokoro cried and use its forward legs to make a cross, landing a critical blow at the groaning Staryu. This worried Misty a bit.)

Misty: Staryu! Are you fine!? (Misty asked in concern. Staryu strugglingly got back to its posture and nodded.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Use Scratch! (Natsuko commanded.)

Misty: Tackle! (Misty counters. Soon, both Kinokoro's Scratch and Staryu's Tackle collided as both were struggling to land a full blow at the other. Misty was anxiously waiting to see Staryu overcome Kinokoro. Natsuko, on the other hand wasn't concern despite her frown expression. Eventually, Kinokoro broke the stalemate and lungs a Scratch attack on Staryu directly.)

Misty's Staryu: (Groaning painfully) (Staryu screeched. Natsuko reopens her eyes.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Continue your onslaught of Scratches, Kinokoro. (Natsuko commanded. Kinokoro use Scratch repeatedly on a dodging Staryu but landed 3 hits. Kinokoro's Agility wears out, returning her Speed back to normal.)

Misty: Perfect. Staryu, Rapid Spin quickly! (Misty ordered. Staryu rotates rapid and lungs itself toward Kinokoro.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Kinokoro. Parry it with Scratch. Remember the second lesson. (Natsuko commanded. Without turning around, Kinokoro nodded with a serious stare.)

Kinokoro (Natsuko Bushimori's Paras): | Bushimori Dojo Lesson #2: "To rush into action is to invite certain death." | (Kinokoro recited. Just as Staryu's Rapid Spin could land a blow, Kinokoro raised its right leg and with concentrated might use her Scratch to redirect Staryu away from its target.)

Misty: Impressive patience and diligence your Paras has obtain under your care, Natsuko. (Misty praised. Natsuko let a small smile of pride appear on her face.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Thank you. Coming from you, it means a lot and I prided myself to not only vigorously training my Pokémon but to heed my Pokémon's needs as well. (Natsuko replied. The rest of the Braving Charizard were not only speechless and shocked by the Gym Battle, but they were loving it so far.)

Cody Anderson: Boy, it is just me all of a sudden or does anyone notice how Natsuko's battle style and tactics resemble those of feudal Japan's Kendo and Bushino? (Cody said while misspelling the Concept of…)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Bushido. (Ezekiel said, correcting Cody's misspelling.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: It translates to "the way of the warrior!" It's how samurai of yore disciplined themselves in preparations for battle, the beliefs each share to protect their lords, lands and even the people that couldn't defense themselves and strive to reach the pinnacle of might. (Ezekiel explained all of that, much to the bulge out teammates' shocking surprise.)

Ben Jutsuku: Okay, I have nothing against Zeke learning more and more about the world outside his home village, but how did he manage to learn so much of our subculture and philosophies of warriors and samurai!? (Ben asked in curiosity. Ben realized.)

Ben Jutsuku: Oh, that's right. Natsuko. (Ben stated.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Kinokoro and Staryu were exchanging blow after blow. Kinokoro lands a few Scratches at Staryu while the Star Shape Pokémon fired its Swift a few times at the Mushroom Pokémon.)

Cody Anderson: Hey, Zeke. How or where did ya learn more about Bushido? (Cody asked.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Well, I learned it from Natsuko, who also learned from her father. (Ezekiel answered.)

Cody Anderson: Her father? (Cody replied. Ezekiel nodded. An illustration briefly appears. It displays a traditional but temple-like training dojo and a silhouette of a man in his mid-to-late 40s with long hair and glowing green eyes.)

Ezekiel Landwirt (Off-Screen): Not only is he the Head Instructor and Owner of the Bushimori Dojos, but he is the samurai head of the Bushimori Clan, ranked No.1 of the entire division of Kendo Masters. Kusanagi Master Kenga Bushimori. (Ezekiel explained. Illustration ends. Soon, both Akina and Cody widen their eyes in comical shock.)

Akina Sakata: HUHH!? (Akina responded.)

Cody Anderson: You're kidding me!? Kenga! Master Kenga Bushimori, the Forest Fire Slayer! The Man Who is Regarded as the Reincarnation of Uesugi Kenshin. One of the most powerful Swordsman in our world is Natsuko's father!? (Cody said all of that. While confused by it, Ezekiel nodded.)

Akina Sakata: Hm, in retrospective, I should've seen it since they both have the same family name. (Akina said. Back to the battle, Kinokoro was empowered once again with Agility. Staryu's Rapid Spin was fast approaching. Once she saw Natsuko nodding at her, Kinokoro nodded back. Instead of facing her opponent, Kinokoro turned her back on Staryu, literally. Just as Staryu was inches to land a finisher on Kinokoro, Natsuko reopened her eyes.)

Natsuko Bushimori: The Time is NOW! Kinokoro, use Agility to dodge your enemy! (Natsuko commanded. Kinokoro, with a serious stare, dodges the Staryu's Rapid Spin with perfect timing. This shocked Misty.)

Misty: No way! (Misty mustered.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Now your chance! Finish this battle with Cross Poison! (Natsuko commands. Charging up again, Kinokoro's Cross Poison lands a direct hit at the surprised Staryu. SWISS! SWISS! Kinokoro's Cross Poison makes a direct, critical blow at the screeching Staryu, who fell on its back and rings quietly. The ref raised his arm.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: Staryu is unable to battle! The winner is Paras, nicknamed Kinokoro! (The referee announced. Natsuko approached her Paras and turned her frown into a pleasant smile.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Kinokoro. Fine work! I owe you my thanks and my respect. You will be a fine Sword Master one day. (Natsuko praises her Pokémon. Kinokoro smiles back at her Trainer and friend out of gratitude. Staryu was zapped out inside their Poké Ball by Misty, who small smiles.)

Misty: Splendid display of skills you've shown, Staryu. Take a good rest. (Misty said before she put her Poké Ball away and brought out another one. Natsuko turns back to the battlefield and saw Misty bringing out her second and ace Pokémon.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Listen. I need you to retreat back to your Poké Ball. (Natsuko said. Kinokoro was emotionally hurt but wouldn't heed it.)

Kinokoro (Natsuko Bushimori's Paras): | No, my lady. I can still fight. I won't run away. | (Kinokoro stated. Despite not understanding the language, Natsuko understood her Mushroom Pokémon's feelings.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Don't misunderstand me. I have no doubts in your capabilities nor am I asking you to run. In case, my next Pokémon is defeated, you need to rejuvenate enough strength to defeat this Pokémon. (Natsuko explained. Thinking about it carefully, Kinokoro knew that was a reasonable and understanding tactic. She nodded. Natsuko beams her back into her Poké Ball. Natsuko winks kindly with a smile and put it away. And she brought out another Poké Ball.)

Misty: Hmm, I gotta admit, Natsuko. Your battle style is quite lethal, but very gracious as well. (A confident Misty said. Natsuko nodded with her proud smile.)

Natsuko Bushimori: While I accept your compliment, I am still far from being a true samurai. I know because it is my father who deserves the credit for training the way of the samurai. (Natsuko said.)

Misty: You don't say. If anything, your father would be proud of you if he saw how, you incorporated those techniques into your Pokémon's battling styles. Assuming he isn't one of those "all work and no fun" types. (Misty said all of that. Natsuko kindly shook her head.)

Natsuko Bushimori: On the contrary, I was the one who was constantly training and studying a lot until one day he gave my first video game based on your world here. It was Pokémon Crystal. Reason he waited for so long to introduce me to the virtual world of Pokémon was because it was the first one with a female protagonist. (Natsuko explained.)

Natsuko Bushimori: However, the time for talk has ended. Let's end this battle, Kusahime! (Natsuko called out to her Bulbasaur, now nicknamed Kusahime. The Poké Ball brought out Kusahime.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): | Time to see the result of my training! | (A serious Kusahime exclaimed.)

Misty: Let's win this together, Starmie! (Misty called. The Pokémon that came out of the Poké Ball bears a resemblance to Staryu but looked different. It was a Pokémon that resembles two violet starfish with five appendages each with the front starfish has a golden formation in the center of the golden casing is its red jewel core, which can glow in seven colors and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone, and the second starfish is semi-attached to the back of the first and can spin 360 degrees. Natsuko stares at the Starmie as she brought out her Pokédex and scans it.)

Natsuko's Pokédex: "Starmie, the Mysterious Pokémon. The Evolve Form of Staryu. Its central core glows with the seven colors of the rainbow. Some people value the core as a gem as many believe this Pokémon may have come from outer space." (The Pokédex answers.)

Misty's Starmie: | My ancestors perhaps, but I am a natural born Pokémon of Earth. Do you have what it takes to defeat a fully evolved Pokémon. | (Starmie dared.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Kusahime, stay vigilant. We may have the type advantage but even the calming waters have their hidden pressure strength. (Natsuko advised. Kusahime nodded.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): | Of course, Natsuko-sensei. Bushimori Dojo Lesson #3: Vigilance and courage are the warrior's most important tools to anticipate the enemy's movement. | (Kusahime said, reciting a Natsuko Bushido creed.)

Misty: Starmie! Use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded. Starmie's second "starfish" spins rapidly and lungs itself toward Bulbasaur. Starmie lands a direct hit at the grunting Kusahime.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Vine Whip! Whirling Style! (Natsuko commanded. Kusahime jumped and spins as she lashed out her Vine Whip and WHOOSSHH! Lands a super effective hit at the whimpered Starmie. The force of the attack made Starmie to fly away from the Seed Pokémon.)

Misty: Gotcha! Starmie, Bubble Beam! (Misty commands. Starmie's core glows and fires a stream of bubbles in a straight point.)

Misty: Use Swift! (Misty yelled. Starmie fires its Swift but despite that, but Kusahime was standing her ground.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): (Grunting stubbornly.) | Bushimori Lesson #4: "Stand your ground and be immovable like the formidable mountains of the land." | (Kusahime cited while enduring the pain. After the Swift move ended, Starmie was screeching repeatedly, equivalent to panting. Misty noticed her Mysterious Pokémon's current HP.)

Misty: Starmie, use Recover. To restore your strength. (Misty commanded. Starmie heeds the command and slowly began to heal itself.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Quickly, Kusahime! Use Vine Whip, Slaying Style! Don't give Starmie the opportunity to fully recover. (Natsuko commanded. Kusahime charges toward the stilling recovering Starmie.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): | Bushimori Dojo Lesson #5: "By depriving the enemy of their provisions and supplies, will a warrior achieve victory and prevent them from resurfacing." | (Kusahime cited as she brought out her Vine Whip and WHOOSHHH! Lands a direct hit at the semi-healed Starmie, who was forced back.)

Misty: Starmie! Can you still fight!? (Misty asked. Starmie turned to its Trainer and nods despite the pain and battle damages it currently has.)

Misty's Starmie: | I am at 49% of my health, but I'm still capable to battle. | (Starmie said. Natsuko was impressed at the faith Starmie has in Misty.)

Kenga Bushimori (Voice-Over): "Natsuko, you have matured well in mastering your skills with kenjutsu. I am truly proud of your growth, my daughter. I will now let you learn the final two lessons. Cite after me…"

Natsuko Bushimori: Bushimori Dojo Lesson #6: "Believe in yourself and others, that is the greatest power a samurai possess." (Natsuko cited. Kusahime turned in confusing surprise.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Kusahime. If you ever feel crushed or discomfort due to my actions, I apologize for it. You and the others aren't my tools or weapons. You and the other Pokémon on our team have become a part of my being. You are my family as well. (Natsuko said all of that with sincere honesty. Kusahime was surprised of how her Trainer felt for her and the other Pokémon. The fact that she would reveal one of the last two lessons of her family's Bushido, was the same as being accepted and part of a family. Kusahime smiled at this.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): | (Not only do you have great expectations for us, but you truly love us as family too. Despite your facial expression, deep down you care about us.) | (Kusahime said. A single tear fell to the ground, but it was a tear of joy. Kusahime remembered the day she first met Natsuko. Despite her fierce expression frighting the other Starter Pokémon that remained, and briefly her, Kusahime stepped forward and stare straight at Natsuko in the eyes. After the brief moment, Natsuko bended down a bit to her level, offered her a hand. Natsuko turned her frown into a smile, welcoming her.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): (Natsuko! My friend! My sister! You knew. You knew despite my shy and fearful side, I do have the talent of learning and combining your family's fighting style into my battle style. You have always believed in me and the other Pokémon you've caught so far.) (Kusahime said in joy. Hearing a swirling sound, Kusahime looked to see Starmie, after receiving her command, fired Swift toward her. Without noticing it, Kusahime began to glow, much to Natsuko and the others' mild surprise. Kusahime brought out her vine.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Bulbasaur): | (No matter what comes my way. I will fight to help you achieve your goal. To achieve our goals together.) I'll FACE ANY ADVERSARY WHO WILL STAND IN OUR WAYYY! | (Kusahime began to glow as her evolution began. Natsuko let out a small smile while the rest of the Braving Charizard, besides a smiling Ezekiel, were surprised yet amaze to see another evolution before them.)

Akina Sakata: Amazing! Kusahime is evolving! (Akina stated. Kusahime grew a few inches tall, four tree leaves, the bulb turning into a pink flower close to blooming. Once done, Kusahime has finally evolve into a Ivysaur.)

Cody Anderson: Yahoo! Kusahime has evolved into Ivysaur. (Cody exclaimed. Kusahime remembered the Swift approaching her. Then, she turns slightly on her sides in a repeated pattern but summon out dozens of leaves glowing in green aura and rapidly fired toward the Swift which cause an explosive result. Soon, a few leaves survived and lands a cutting direct hit at Starmie. Starmie groans painfully due to the Grass-Type move being super effective. Natsuko smiles brightly at this.)

Ben Jutsuku: Whoa! Kusahime has learned Razor Leaf! (Ben realized. Even Misty was impressed by how her opponent's Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur during the battle.)

Misty: This is such an impressive event we have. You both have proved your strong bond and the skills you have hone. You have my respect. However, we won't yield just yet. (Misty said before she strikes a pose.)

Misty: Starmie! Use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded.)

Natsuko Bushimori: Intersect it with Tackle! (Natsuko replied. Both Pokémon charged and land their attack at each other. Currently they were at another stalemate.)

Misty's Starmie: | Just (Grunt) because you have evolved, (Pant) it doesn't mean I will let you win! | (Starmie declared strugglingly.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Ivysaur): | I admire you and your loyalty and dedication for your Trainer, but you aren't the only one fighting for their friends. I will defeat you, Starmie. With the type advantage or not, I have the courage of a stronger Pokémon, but my spirit is that of a SAMURAI! | (Kusahime shouted as she pushed Starmie away, taking most of the buildup strength.)

Misty: Quick, Starmie. Use Recover! (Misty commanded. Starmie began to glow.)

Natsuko Bushimori: This battle has been prolonged enough. Kusahime, use Razor Leaf, Typhoon Style! (Natsuko ordered. Kusahime jumped into the air and spins rapidly as she conjures up another Razo Leaf. Misty, Starmie and the others gasped in amazed shock. Kusahime was revolving at a 360 degree as hundreds and hundreds of Razor Leaf were created.)

Kusahime (Natsuko Bushimori's Ivysaur): | This is mine and Natsuko's signature technique: Bushimori Style – Razor Leaf Hurricane! | (Kusahime finished as she fired her Razor Leaf Hurricane and lands a direct hit at a helpless Starmie who didn't get a chance to fully heal.)

Misty's Starmie: | IMPOSSIBLE! | (Starmie yelled before being engulfed in the hurricane-like Razor Leaf completely. Once the Razor Leaf Hurricane ended, Starmie stood still, seemingly still able to fight.)

Misty: Ah? Starmie? (Misty mustered. Before they expect it, Starmie felt on its back, beeping quietly, indicating its faintness. Misty sighed knowing that she has been defeated but smiles sadly for Starmie and thankful for its efforts.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: Starmie is unable to battle. Ivy- I mean Kusahime wins. The victor of this battle is Natsuko Bushimori of Hino City! (The referee announced. Natsuko pumped her arm upward and smiled proudly.)

Natsuko Bushimori: This battle is over, and we have claim VICTORY! (Natsuko cheered. Kusahime growls in celebration.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: WHOA! Now that was awesome! I mean sure, some of the way she gives her Pokémon a command was a bit scary, but I am feeling something else inside me. And no it's not my stomach. I feel something tinkling in my chest when I'm with her. She helps me be a better man, eh. (Ezekiel confessed while having red blushes flash on his cheeks as his affections for her is growing more.)

Cody Anderson: That was exciting to see the battle between Kusahime and Starmie. Not only did Kusahime evolved but the way she fought was as if she was training to be a Samurai Pokémon. (Cody exclaimed. Squirtle and Pikachu were gonna cheer until they notice what Cody was implying.)

Cody Anderson's Pikachu: | Yay- Wait a minute? Samurai Pokémon? | (Pikachu asked.)

Cody Anderson's Squirtle: | Is there such a thing as a Samurai Pokémon out there? | (Squirtle asked.)

Cody Anderson: Actual no. There aren't any Pokémon who are categized as the Samurai Pokémon. That much I'm aware of. (Cody stated. Somehow, Pikachu and Squirtle didn't looked convinced.)

(Natsuko, with her Kusahime and Kinokoro at her side, and Misty faced each other, but with smiles on their faces.)

Misty: I gotta admit Natsuko. You actually defeated me, but you knew that from your years of playing the video games featuring our world. (Misty said. Natsuko had a sweat drop while the others looked sheepish at the fact Misty knew about the video games of Pokémon from their world.

Natsuko Bushimori: Not at all. I own it all to father for his wise and vigorous teachings. The 7th Lesson of the Bushimori Style is "When you are alone, there are certain levels you can reach for your mastery over the sword, but if you are with others, you will reach beyond your current limits with love and peace." (Natsuko finished. The rest of her teammates were amazed of the final lesson of the Bushimori Style of Bushido. They knew right away that the lesson means that when you are alone and too prideful to associate with others you deed lesser than you, you will never reach your full potential, but if you are joined in a group, you truly deem friends and you'll grown not only stronger but so will the rest of the friends. Misty brought out a badge that resembles a tear drop.)

Misty: You have defeated me in battle. I hereby reward you with the Cascade Badge. As proof of your accomplishment. (Misty said. Natsuko receives the Cascade Badge.)

Natsuko Bushimori: The Cascade Badge is ours! (Natsuko exclaimed. Kusahime and Kinokoro cheers with their Trainer. Once Misty finished healing up her Pokémon, she turned to face the Braving Charizard with a determined look.)

Misty: Now then, who's next!? (Misty declared. The next Pokémon Trainer to challenge Misty was Akina Sakata who defeated Staryu with her Oddish's Absorb and Razor Leaf but lost to Starmie only for the Mysterious Pokémon to be defeated by Rika's Double Team and Thunder Shock and won! Cody was up next, his Bulbasaur defeated Staryu but lost to Starmie, but through difficulties, his Squirtle manages to defeat Starmie with a combo of Iron Tail and Bite. Ben use Frenzyleaf and defeated Staryu, he fought Starmie but was retreated and switch with Big Buzz and with the use of Twineedle defeated Starmie. Tatsumi used Clefairy to defeat Staryu, but she lost against Starmie; And surprisingly, Tatsumi brought out her Onix nicknamed Obsidian, was able to use Dig to burrow down on the two pools, draining them and despite the super effective Bubble Beam, Obsidian defeated Starmie, making it a memorable event that a Rock Type defeated a Water Type. And Ezekiel, despite the type disadvantage, defeated Staryu, but currently, Starmie fires Bubble Beam directly at the surprised Charmeleon.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: (Screaming painfully) (Once the bubble steam set, Charmeleon was down on his belly and with swirls replacing his eyes.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: No, Charmeleon! (Ezekiel reacted before he went to his Starter's side.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: Charmeleon is unable to battle. Starmie is the winner. (The ref announced.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Are you alright, eh? (Ezekiel asked while rubbing his head to recover. Slowly, Charmeleon regained consciousness.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon: | I'll live. I'm just sorry I couldn't best that double starfish, eh. | (Charmeleon apologized. Ezekiel had a small smile.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Don't worry, eh. We did manage to beat Staryu despite it being a Water-Type. The fact you lasted this long means you're getting better to develop more resistance, eh. (Ezekiel praised. Charmeleon let out a small smirk, thanking Ezekiel. Soon, Ezekiel brought out Charmeleon's Poké Ball and zaps him back.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Take a good rest, Charmeleon. You've earned it, eh. (Ezekiel said with his favorite word. Once he puts it away, Ezekiel brought out another Poké Ball.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Rattata, let's dig our way to through the battle, eh! (Ezekiel called out. Rattata emerged from his Poké Ball as he turns to face Starmie.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | Hmm, a Mysterious Pokémon. That is who I am gonna battle. I must admit, you are wise to bring me out to battle it, Ezekiel. | (Rattata praised his Trainer.)

Misty: Starmie! Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie fires its Bubble Beam.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Dodge it using Quick Attack! (Ezekiel counters. Rattata's Quick Attack managed to enable him to dodge Starmie's Bubble Beam. Rattata's speed was increased during training enables him to run on water and got to Starmie's back.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Perfect. Now Bite! (Ezekiel added. Rattata's fang was empowered by his Bite move and CRUNCH Bites Starmie with a super effective hit due to Dark Types having an advantage over Psychic Types. Starmie screeches painfully.)

Misty: Starmie! Quick, use Rapid Spin. Get Rattata off of you! (Misty commanded.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Quick Attack! Let go, Rattata before you get hit. (Ezekiel said. Rattata let go of his grip and use Quick Attack to dodge the Rapid Spin.)

Misty Don't let him get away, Starmie. Use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded. Starmie chases after Rattata using Rapid Spin. Both Mouse and Mysterious Pokémon deliver a couple of blows.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Rattata hold still. (Ezekiel commanded. Despite the confusion of that command, Rattata paused. Rattata saw the Rapid Spinning Starmie fast approaching.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | I sure hope you know what you're doing, Ezekiel. | (Rattata replied.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Now, jump high while spinning around using Quick Attack. (Ezekiel commanded. Rattata charged up and uses Quick Attack spinning in a fast pace as he intersects Starmie's Rapid Spin. Ezekiel watch with caution as he waited and saw the opening he wanted.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Rattata, use Bite on each of Starmie's legs or appendages. (Ezekiel said while barely saying the latter correctly. Rattata realized his strategy, then Rattata uses Bite on all ten appendages, which forced Starmie to screech painfully due to its super effectiveness.)

Misty: Starmie! Use Recover! (Misty yelled. Starmie got a few feet away from Rattata, who was able to land on his side back. Rattata pants repeatedly due to some of the damage he received.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | (Hmm, countering the Rapid Spin with a spinning Quick Attack and use ten Bites to inflict a total of 320 super effective damages by targeting their appendages. Maybe Ezekiel is wiser than I initially thought of him.) | (Rattata thought. Starmie was currently restoring some of their HP.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | Oh no. If I don't do anything to stop their Recover, my chances to defeat Starmie will decreased to 10%. What if- What if I am not enough to win? Was choosing me the grave error? I am more intelligent than I am fast or strong. I don't- I don't have what it takes win. I… I gi-) (Before Rattata could finished his sentence, two of Ezekiel's Poké Balls opened on their own, revealing his newly added Meowth and Sandshrew. Misty, Kaoru and the rest of Braving Charizard were confused or astonished by the Pokémon coming out on their own.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Sandshrew: | NO! Don't say it! DON'T GIVE UP, RATTATA! | (Sandshrew yelled. Rattata gasped in surprise.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Sandshrew: | I know I'm the new guy on our team, but even I can see you are gonna make the biggest grave error in your life if you give up. I know you have the power to defeat Starmie! | (Sandshrew yelled.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | I, I can't. | (Rattata said. However, Sandshrew and even Meowth didn't buy it.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Sandshrew: | Yes you can! You still have some HP left! You are the very first wild Pokémon Ezekiel caught. You keep following him despite the fact he was still learning how to be a Pokémon Trainer. You help him during his Gym Battle at Pewter, facing off Team Rocket and even helping him in the second Gym Challenge. You've shown us of your talent of being the smartest Pokémon Ezekiel has. | (Sandshrew said all of that. Meowth looked annoyed but spoke.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Meowth: | It's not like I actual lost to ya, cheese breath, but… you're an important aspect of this team. You may not be fiercer than Charmeleon, stronger than Sandshrew or braver than me… |

Ezekiel Landwirt's Rattata: | So what's the point of your "lecture?" | (A deadpan Rattata asked. Meowth took a hard breather.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Meowth: | The point is NONE of us are as smarter than you! You are strong as us! You're strong in a true way because Ezekiel has great faith and believe in us. Including you! | (Meowth yelled. Rattata was astonished. Ever since he was added to their team, Meowth wasn't easy to get along with due to their resemblances to mice and cats. Not to mention Meowth's cocky and smooth taking personality. But if not only Sandshrew believe in him, so did Meowth and Charmeleon. But foremost, Ezekiel depends and believes in him too, evidenced by the small, concerned and caring smile he was giving the Normal Type.)

Ezekiel's Rattata: | Ezeki- I mean, Zeke. I'm grateful. In the beginning, I was only using you to help me get stronger than those of my old pack, but over time, you relay on me. You believe in me. And in time, I learned that I have develop more than just physical strength. You made me a part of your family. That's why… I will not give up until the last Pokémon is left standing. I am gonna beat that Pokémon because I am the Smartest Pokémon of Ezekiel Landwirt! | (Rattata roared as he glows as he undergoes his evolution, much to everyone's surprise. Rattata grows more bigger and rotund, his whiskers grew longer, his upper paws were larger while standing on his lower paws and his tail long and straight. Once it was done, Rattata was now a Raticate and roars. Ezekiel gasped amazingly.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Whoa! Rattata is now a Raticate! (Ezekiel exclaimed. Raticate looked at the rebuilt pool's reflection and saw his new features.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Raticate: | So this is my new face? With all this wild fur and my facial appearance as it is, I barely recognize myself. Still, I believe my new strength should be sufficient enough to claim victory. | (Raticate stated. Remembering Starmie, he saw how it finished with its Recover.)

Misty: It seems you are too late. Starmie, use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie fires Bubble Beam.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Raticate! Quick Attack! Triangle Formation! (Ezekiel commanded. Raticate instantly dodges the Bubble Beam, much to Misty's shock. Raticate ran twice in a triangle pattern and reaching the third point, he intensely rushed and lands a powerful hit at Starmie, much to its groaning pain.)

Misty: Starmie, use Tackle! (Misty commanded.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Dodge and use Hyper Fang! (Ezekiel counters. Raticate effortlessly dodges Starmie's Tackle and use a powerful Normal-Type move Hyper Fang and cuts Starmie's HP in half. Starmie screeches painfully.)

Misty: Quickly! Use Recover! (Misty ordered. Starmie was gonna use Recover, but unfortunately, it flinched due to its exhaustion.)

Misty: Oh no, Starmie. (A concern Misty said.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Hey, this is the moment of truth we've waited for. Raticate, let's finish this battle with Bite! (Ezekiel said. Raticate, understood, and charge up another Bite and with no obstacles left, Raticate used the strongest Bite he created and CRUNCH, bites Starmie directly! Afterwards, Starmie fell to the ground and fainted.)

Cerulean Gym Referee: Starmie is unable to battle. Raticate is the winner. Which mean the victory belongs to Ezekiel Landwirt of Memramcook Village! (The referee announced. Ezekiel instantly hugs his unsuspected Raticate, but with the latter feeling astonished as the homeschool farmer hugs his Mouse Pokémon.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: I'm so happy you did it, Raticate! (Sobs happily) I'm so happy we won! But I'm even more happier knowing you're fine! I'm truly blessed to have you as my most smartest Pokémon, eh. (Ezekiel cried in joy. Raticate was glad to hear that, despite the hysterical expression Ezekiel was displaying, much to his mock embarrassment. Soon, Sandshrew and Meowth came to congratulate their newly evolved comrade.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Sandshrew: | You were amazing out there, Raticate. You outwitted that Starmie and delivered it a powerful Bite. I can't wait until I evolve as well. Then I'll truly be the strongest. | (Sandshrew praised the smiling Raticate. Turning his attention toward the Scratch Cat Pokémon, Meowth gave him a blank stare, but turned his frown into a proud smirk.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Meowth: | I could've taken care of that Starmie by myself, but…. | (Raticate rose a brow, waiting for Meowth's remark.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Meowth: | You did good out there, cheese breath. | (Meowth praised. Raticate smiled at his friends and thank him.)

Ezekiel Landwirt's Raticate: | You didn't do so bad either, tuna breath! | (A smiling Raticate replied. Soon, Ezekiel, after returning his Pokémon back in their Poké Ball, he approached Misty as she rewards him his Cascade Badge.)

Misty: Here, Ezekiel. You've earned this Cascade Badge and the reward of 2,079 Pokémon dollars along with TM11: Bubble Beam! (Misty congratulated Ezekiel. He gathered his prizes and regrouped with his friends and just before they could go.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Before you go… (The Braving Charizard paused and turn to face Kaoru.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Pardon me for asking you all to stay in Cerulean for a little longer. You will be needed to vote which Trainers will be in the Elimination Battle. It won't happen until later this night. Until then, enjoy your time in Cerulean, go sightseeing, take your Pokémon out for a stroll, and go out in one of the finest restaurants. (Kaoru said. Despite the surprise they received, once Cody saw the rest of his friends and girlfriend's nods, he nodded in agreement to her.)

Cody Anderson: Don't worry! We'll be there. (Cody replied. Kaoru smiles a bit but was glad hear. Soon she brought out a case.)

Kaoru Aizawa: I almost forgot; I have an extra reward for your victory over the Cerulean Gym as well. (Kaoru said. Kaoru slowly opens the case.)

Kaoru Aizawa: I believe most of you are familiar with them. With stones like these! We managed to find them just before the challenge began. (Kaoru explained. Once the case fully opened, the Braving Charizard, except Ezekiel, were speechless by the sight of twelve familiar stones. The six on the left were cat's eye like multicolor marbles but with a black helix symbol in the center. The six on the right were bigger and each had similar and different colors. The first column was primarily blue green, but with pink, dark green and light pink pattern; the second column was unique as the top one is blue, but with dark blue and black patterns and the bottom was orange but with yellow, scarlet and light orange patterns. And the last column were blue grey with a blue and black pattern.)

Cody, Akina, Ben, Tatsumi & Natsuko: (Gasping amazed) (The only who didn't show any excitement was Ezekiel. Which was understandable given his lack of the Pokémon metaseries.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: Ah? Aren't they a bunch of stones? Or marbles? (Ezekiel wondered.)

Ben Jutsuku: Actually, they're not some ordinary marbles or stones. They're-

Cody Anderson: They're KEY STONES AND MEGA STONES! (Cody shouted hyperactively. As the others knew what this meant.)

(In his confessional, Cody still had that excited smile on his face at the prospers of using Mega Evolution.)

Cody Anderson: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I'm finally gonna use Mega Evolution. We're all gonna use Mega Evolution! (Cody exclaimed.)

Cody Anderson: And here I thought we wouldn't have a chance during this season, but I'm glad I was wrong in this case. (Cody said.)

[Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Cody and Akina obtained the Blastoisinite and Key Stones. Natsuko and Ben obtained the Venusaurite and Key Stones. Tatsumi obtains the Charizardite Y and Key Stone, and Ezekiel obtains the Charizardite X and Key Stone. Once they got back to their rooms at the Pokémon Center, both Cody and Akina were getting ready for their date. Cody was currently dressed up in a long red sweater, black buckle belt, jeans and brown shoes. Cody looked his reflection on the water of the city fountain, hoping he had combed his hair nicely. Cody was so nervous, which was reasonable as this was his first actual date. Not counting the one he had to do to cheer Sierra up back in Total Drama World Tour. Soon, a cough was made as a foot appeared.)

Akina Sakata: Cody…

Cody Anderson: Ah, Akina. I'm glad to see you're…... (Gasping awestruck) (Cody was speechless upon seeing the outfit his girlfriend has. Akina let her hair down, wearing a blue curly dress, red heel sandals, sky blue knitted shrug and a pink hairband. Overall, she was dressed very adorable and divine-like. Cody was dumbfounded yet admiring how gorgeous his girlfriend looked. A blushing Akina smiled.)

Akina Sakata: Sorry it took me so long. I had to dry and brush my hair and picked out a few outfits I brought with me from home. What'd you think…. It's not inappropriate? (A shy Akina asked. Despite the quirky response he was gibbering, Cody got a hold of himself.)

Cody Anderson: What? No way! You look perfect. Perfect the way you are. (Cody compliments. Akina smiles brightly at this response. The two briefly shared a kiss.)

Cody Anderson: I just hope the dinner and movie I picked will be enough not to screw up. (Cody said. Akina hugs Cody's right arm.)

Akina Sakata: As long as I get to spend quality time with you. It matter not where we go. (Akina shared. They left for their date.)

[Cerulean Stadium, Cerulean City – Kanto]

(After time passes, it is nighttime. Scene shows a large stadium that is blue and blue grey in color theme, but with the battlefield being designed in the Poké Ball logo in its circular square box and the grass being artificial. In the middle of the ground level were the six members of the Raging Gyarados as they were sitting on Japanese traditional stools. And facing on the bleachers above them were the Braving Charizard with each holding a PDA-like device in their hands. In one of the luxury boxes were Misty, frowning knowing her boyfriend Daisuke was on the losing team, Brock in another box watching in anticipation and few other Gym Leader that came to watch the elimination battle. Kaoru approached the Raging Gyarados.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Welcome, Pokémon Trainers to the voting event for the first elimination battle. Currently the only ones who are to receive any votes are any members from the Raging Gyarados. Which means the winning team up there will be adding their votes to determine the two with the most votes. Once the battle begins and ends, the winner will remain in the competition while the loser will be cut from the competition. (Kaoru explained all of that. Which nobody reacted but understood in silence. Kaoru, standing on her podium, set a tray with five unique Poké Balls but with the top being gold in color and having initials of a G and an S.)

Kaoru Aizawa: These are the GS Balls. Like Poké Balls, they can help you catch a Pokémon, but if you receive a GS Ball then you are safe and the last one will be given to the victor. As you already figure it out, those voting devices are to help you vote off which Trainer of your choosing but be certain if it is your final choice. (Kaoru finished.)

(Heather was in her confessional, but with her Nidoran on her left shoulder.)

Heather Hamilton: Sure, I was a bit upset that there was gonna be more votes from the Charizard. And given my history, I wouldn't doubt that I would be their first choice. However, Kayoko came and as promise, said she would help me. Her advice was that she was gonna vote herself. (Heather said. Nidoran was astonished by this.)

Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : | Seriously!? She wants to vote herself off. | (Nidoran asked. Heather widen her eyes in astonishment as well.)

Heather Hamilton: Trust me, Nidoran! I was shocked as you are when she told me to vote her off. Normally, I would be happy that I can stay in the game and removed a potential foe, but I've been feeling… hesitated!? (Heather admits. Nidoran freaked out when Heather said that. Was Heather starting to build her first actual friendship.)

[Futuristic Click]

(In his confessional, Alejandro was sitting by the left side, explaining who he voted for.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: I was having trouble deciding who to vote off? Since Noah and I are in an alliance, he was out of the options. Daisuke is still new but knows more of Pokémon and the Kanto Region, he's still needed. I certainly don't need to end mi amor's journey so soon. And that only left me to choose between Anne Maria and Kayoko. It was hard, but I made my choice to pick… Kayoko. (Alejandro said.)

[Futuristic Click]

(In her confessional, Kayoko had her arms crossed and sitting on her seat.)

Kayoko Ashioku: I'm very aware of who will receive the most votes. Mainly Heather and Anne Maria. However, as my mother taught, to fully achieve one's ambitions is to cut off the weak link. Anne Maria has served her purpose. She has sealed her fate. I have no sympathy for Akina other than the fact that like me, she is a fellow Japanese. Nothing more, nothing less. That's why I will administer the consequences of her actions. Which is why I voted for myself. (Kayoko said all of that. Unconcern of what others would think of her for the battle that will occur after the voting was done.)

[Cerulean Stadium, Cerulean City – Kanto]

(After she said that, the Trainers saw the devices showing members of the Raging Gyarados. One by one the Raging Gyarados and the Braving Charizard voted off their picks until the last one, Ezekiel despite his initial hesitations, sighed and picked his vote. Later, after receiving the result, Kaoru turn her attention to the Raging Gyarados.)

Kaoru Aizawa: The votes are in. And the first to receive their GS Ball is…. Daisuke! (Kaoru said throwing a GS Ball toward a relief Daisuke who caught it. Misty sighed in relief, happy for Daisuke.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Alejandro! Noah! (She threw the two GS Balls to Alejandro and Noah respectively in that order, much to their relief. However, this got Heather to rise a brow in silent nervousness and Anne Maria shocked by this, but Kayoko didn't seem to be nervous or panicking at all.)

Kaoru Aizawa: And the fourth GS Ball goes to…

…

…..

Kaoru Aizawa: Heather! (Kaoru finished after she tossed the GS Ball at an overjoyed Heather who caught it in her hands, much to Anne Maria's shock. However, Kayoko smirked and reopened her eyes.)

Anne Maria Gambino: What!? How could this be possible!? (Anne Maria said in dismay.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Based on your performance, you received most of the votes, while Kayoko has 2 and leaving Heather with only one. (Kaoru explained. She pressed a button as a door opened on the left side of the stadium.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Now if the rest of the Raging Gyarados who received their GS Balls please take your seat on the bleachers so we can get this elimination battle started. This is the first elimination battle between Anne Maria Gambino of the New Jersey's Elizabeth City and Kayoko Ashioku of Tokyo's Hachioji City! This battle will be livestream on both worlds! (Kaoru announced. Cameras were turned on as not only for the citizens of Cerulean and the rest of the Pokémon World, but even the citizens of the Earth I. The entire world was watching the elimination battle between Anne Maria and Kayoko from New York, Toronto, Tokyo, Beijing, Mexico City and many cities. The rest of the Raging Gyarados got to their seats and saw via the holo-screens that Anne Maria and Kayoko made it to their respective arenas.)

Kaoru Aizawa: This elimination battle will be an all-out battle. Which means you will battle with every Pokémon you each have in your parties. The battle will end when one Trainer has all Pokémon defeated and will be cut from the competition. (Kaoru said. The middle monitors shows the Elimination Battle score with Kayoko having a total of six Pokémon and Anne Maria having a total of five Pokémon. Kayoko and Anne Maria stared fiercely, determined to win to keep their place. Tatsumi narrow her glance at one of the Trainers.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Call me insane, but there's something about Kayoko that seems… familiar. Like I met her before. (Tatsumi said, having the sense of having met Kayoko beforehand.)

[Cerulean Stadium, Cerulean City – Kanto]

(Both Kayoko and Anne Maria raised their forehead straight holding a Poké Ball.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Before we begin, do the challengers have any words to say? (Kaoru asked.)

Anne Maria Gambino: You might as well give up and let me win. (An arrogant Anne Maria stated. Kayoko didn't faze nor was she displaying her usual kind and warming presence but was frowning and possess a glare unyielding.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Are you gonna bark all or you gonna battle me? (Kayoko retorted. This only made Anne Maria to have an anger mark on her forehead. Heather snickered quietly, but the others were either confused or surprised by this sudden change of personality. Kaoru raises her arm straightforward.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Let the elimination battle…. BEGIN! (Kaoru finished. Both trainers send out their Pokémon.)

Anne Maria & Kayoko: LET'S GO, FIONA! / CHARMANDER, MARCH! (They cried simultaneously. Coming out were Anne Maria's Bellsprout Fiona and Kayoko's Charmander who roars fiercely.)

Fiona (Anne Maria Gambino's Bellsprout): | Wait a minute! A Fire Type! There's no way I could- | (Fiona didn't have time as Anne Maria spoke.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Fiona use Growth and follow it with Bullet Seed! (Anne commanded. Fiona obeys as she increase her size and her Speed stats. Seeing her opponent and her Pokémon have not yet move, Fiona saw the window of opportunity before her as she fires her Bullet Seed at Charmander.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Dodge them. (Kayoko commanded plainly. Without any difficulties, Charmander dodges the Bullet Seed, much to Anne Maria and Fiona's shock. Anne Maria got over it.)

Anne Maria Gambino: You just dodge a bunch of seeds so what? We just need to try it again. Fiona use Bullet Seed again. (Anne Maria commanded. Fiona huff and blows another Bullet Seed at Charmander.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Pathetic. Charmander, your order is to obliterate the Bullet Seed with Flamethrower and redirect it toward your opponent! (Kayoko commanded. Just as the Bullet Seed approach Charmander, the Lizard Pokémon breaths in and fired a powerful Flamethrower that incinerated the Bullet Seed, much to Anne Maria's gasping shock. But it didn't stop as the Flamethrower lands a devastating blow at a whining Fiona who was feeling the burn long enough to lose all her HP. The Raging Gyarados and Braving Charizards on the bleachers were shockingly surprised by this display of immense power. Once the fire died out, Fiona was laying on the ground, covered in soot but fainted.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Fiona! (Anne Maria cried. The screen turned off the light of one of the Poké Ball, making Fiona the first Pokémon to be defeated. Anne Maria returned Fiona back into her Poké Ball.)

Anne Maria Gambino: I don't get it. Why did Fiona lose so quickly? (Anne Maria asked but realized the type advantages she learned before.)

Kayoko Ashioku: No wonder Heather calls you a blowhard. If you had realized before that a Fire-Type like Charmander always have the advantage over Grass-Types like your precious Fiona. You ever truly learned much when you aren't focused on applying hair products on yourself. (Kayoko said while berating her opponent. Anne Maria gritted her teeth at the insults she was receiving. Soon she got out another Poké Ball.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Then I'll show you what a blowhard like me can fight! Let's dance, Fata! (Anne Maria yelled. She brought out her Clefairy Fata as she faces her opponent.)

Fata (Anne Maria Gambino's Clefairy): | I'm with Anne Maria. I'll make you pay for nearly burning Fiona into a crisp. | (Fata declared.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Fata, let's give them an Encore! (Anne Maria commanded. Fata creates a white ball and fires the Encore directly at Charmander which forces the Lizard Pokémon to repeat Flamethrower for two or six turns.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Now let's Pound some sense into her! (Anne Maria added. Fata charges toward Charmander.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Flamethrower. (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires another Flamethrower.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Dodge that Flamethrower the beat way you know. Spread your wings. (Anne Maria commanded. Fata smirks proudly as she managed to dodge the Flamethrower by flying over it.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Flamethrower again. (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires another Flamethrower but Fata dodges again. Once reaching Charmander, Fata delivers a strong Pound at her face directly. Despite losing some HP, Fata's smirk turn into shock upon seeing the unfazed expression of Charmander.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Don't lose hope, Fata. Use Double Slap! (Anne Maria commanded. Getting over it, Clefairy uses her Double Slap twice and lands a considerate amount of damage, but it didn't faze Charmander.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Hmm, I have to admit, you have gotten better along with your Pokémon. But it won't matter. (Kayoko said.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Oh! And why's that? (Anne Maria commented. The white aura caused by Encore faded, meaning that Encore has worn out. Kayoko gave her a dark glare at a startled Anne Maria.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, Metal Claw! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander uses Metal Claw and with one powerful swoop, lands a super effective blow at the yelling Fata. The screen shows Fata losing all her HP, eliminating her, much to Anne Maria's shock. Anne Maria returns her Fata back in her Poké Ball and brought out another one.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Anne Maria. You might as well forfeit this battle. You are not my equal. You have no chance to defeat me. You can't win. (Kayoko stated harshly. Anne Maria growls quietly.)

Anne Maria Gambino: You beat two of my Pokémon. I won't retreat that easy. Let's flow Palla! (Anne Maria said in defiance. Palla, Anne Maria's Jigglypuff came out to battle and bloated in anger.)

Palla (Anne Maria Gambino's Jigglypuff): | You! You're the Pokémon who's been hurting my friends. I won't leave this battleground without you taking you down. | (Palla declared.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Palla use Sing! (Anne Maria commanded. In the bleachers, Noah gave his teammates each a pair of earplugs. The same is said for the Braving Charizard as Cody gave Ezekiel a pair too.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, focus your energy, even should you fall asleep. (Kayoko commanded.)

Kayoko Ashioku's Charmander: | Understood, Lady Kayoko. | (Charmander replied. Soon, Palla began to sing as the battlefield was filled with a sudden sensation of sleepiness. Charmander fell asleep.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Perfect! Palla use Pound! (A smiling Anne Maria commanded. Palla charged and land a hit with Pound. Anne Maria ordered her to use Pound again. It was repeated for two more times and Palla jumped a few distance away.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Use Defense Curl! (Anne Maria added. Palla rolled into a curl-like form and increase her Defense.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Now let's take that Charmander down with Rollout! (Anne Maria commanded. Palla uses Rollout as she was rolling fiercely toward her target. However…)

Kayoko Ashioku: Now! WAKE UP AND USE FOCUS PUNCH! (Kayoko commanded, much to Anne Maria's shock. Charmander opened her eyes and charged up enough energy and use Focus Punch to land a powerful blow at Palla by the face, much to Balloon Pokémon's painful screams. Palla's HP reach zero, eliminating her. Anne Maria gasped in shock and began to feel frighten that she might actually lose. To the Braving Charizard, they were quite shocked to see how powerful Kayoko trained her Pokémon.)

Cody Anderson: Whoa? That was heavy and…

Ben Jutsuku: Brutal, don't forget brutal. (Ben finished with the same speechless expression.)

Cody Anderson: Yeah. That. (Cody said. Natsuko and Tatsumi looked serious as they glace at Kayoko.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Is it hard to imagine we have seen this type of battle style before? (Tatsumi asked Natsuko. Natsuko shook her head.)

Natsuko Bushimori: No! Not at all. I feel like I've seen this before. Back in the 2007 Tokyo Kendo Championships, I made it all the way to second place because… my opponent at that time was unpredictable. I couldn't land a single blow at her. (Natsuko confessed. Not taking her eyes off the battle, Tatsumi mentally nodded.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Neither could I and I reach to the top 4. (Tatsumi admitted. Back to the elimination battle, Anne Maria reluctantly brought out another Pokémon and it was Erba, her Oddish. Despite seeing the barely damaged Charmander before her.)

Erba (Anne Maria Gambino's Oddish): | (This is bad! Fiona. Fata and Palla. All three of them were defeated by this single Pokémon and it doesn't look like she's even that tired.) | (Oddish thought. Still, Oddish shrugs off her fear.)

Erba (Anne Maria Gambino's Oddish): | Still, I need to get a grip and focus on what I can do. | (Erba stated. Charmander sighs in sadness.)

Kayoko's Charmander: | The poor Oddish. Loyal to the end. | (Charmander said to herself. Kayoko wasn't impressed by this.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Erba! Use Sweet Scent! (Anne Maria commanded. Erba uses Sweet Scent, spreading a large amount of sweet aroma across the battlefield, but covering herself from prying eyes.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Use Flamethrower! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires a Flamethrower at her target but only for the move to miss it. Kayoko rose a brow at this change of movement. Anne Maria smirks.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Quickly Erba! Use Hidden Power! (Anne Maria commanded. Oddish powers up several blue colored orbs and gathered them around her and fired the Hidden Power directly at the blocking Charmander, much to its painful yell. Kayoko frowns at this.)

Kayoko Ashioku: How did you know your Pokémon's Hidden Power nature would be Water-Type!? (Kayoko demanded. Anne Maria widen her eyes.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Actually, I didn't. Just call it a lucky break. Cause now, I have the sweet advantage on my side. (Anne Maria said, reigniting her confidence.)

Kayoko Ashioku: For now at least. Charmander, can you get up? (Kayoko asked. Charmander slowly got up despite the super effective damage she received. She gave her Trainer a thumb up with a serious glance, which was replied with a small smile. Anne Maria was surprised by this small display of care and kindness her opponent gave her Pokémon. Then Kayoko turned to frown disinterested at her opponent again.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Shall we resume? Jersey Shore Reject. (Kayoko replied while goading Anne Maria, which seems to work.)

Anne Maria Gambino: That's what you think, you goldilocks freak. (Anne Maria insulted.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Erba, use Hidden Power! (Anne Maria commanded. Erba powers up another Hidden Power and fires it.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Counter with Flamethrower! (Kayoko counters. Charmander fires her Flamethrower as the collision of both moves cause a reaction of explosion.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Dragon Rage, now! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires the dark blue move known as Dragon Rage directly at Erba. Erba screamed in pain.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Is that all you got? Pitiful. And I thought it was getting interested. (Kayoko said.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Yeah, go ahead you intitolata principessa. Mock me while you can. Erba use Razor Leaf! (Anne Maria commanded. Erba fires her Razor Leaf at her opponent, which wasn't much damaging.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Attack! Dragon Rage! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires another Dragon Rage which chases its running target, but finally lands its burning-like mark at the screaming Erba. Anne Maria got startled by this. Soon, the smoke clear, but with a few blue flames scattered across the battlefield, Erba has fainted.)

Erba (Anne Maria Gambino's Oddish): | Ahhh…? | (Erba mustered. The monitor turned off Erba's ball, leaving Anne Maria with only one Pokémon left. Anne Maria recalled her Erba back to her Poké Ball. As she reached for her last Pokémon, she was shaking with a feeling she never thought she experienced, fear. Kayoko noticed this.)

Anne Maria Gambino: (Keep it together Anne Maria Gambino! Just keep it… together.) (Anne Maria told herself. She brought her last Poké Ball, while Kayoko briefly stared at the flames of both red and blue around the battleground.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Anne Maria. You've grown a lot stronger since beginning this journey. You managed to adapt given the circumstances and trained your Pokémon to a considerable amount of experience. I'll admit, I am impressed. However, I've grown tired of this game. (Kayoko said. Anne Maria stares hardly in defiance.)

Anne Maria Gambino: There is no end for me. As my Italian ancestors would say "Ride bene chi ride ultimo!" He who laughs last, laughs best! (Anne Maria commented.)

Kayoko Ashioku: This Italian proverb is a warning telling you can never know how something will turn out until the last minute, so make sure you don't celebrate in advance. I'm aware of that. Still, why bring up such an ancient but wise proverb? (Kayoko retorted.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Meaning my last Pokémon will be more than enough to crush that Charmander and the rest of your team! Let's go Folgia! (Anne Maria calls out. Folgia came out of her Poké Ball.)

Folgia (Anne Maria Gambino's Bulbasaur): (Growls fiercely) | This is for my friends! | (Folgia declared.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, use Metal Claw! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander charged with Metal Claw.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Dodge it and use Tackle! (Anne Maria commanded. Folgia manage to dodge the Metal Claw and tackles Charmander directly.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Use Vine Whip! (Anne Maria commanded. Folgia's Vine Whip lands a direct hit at Charmander.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Unleash Dragon Rage! (Kayoko commanded. Charmander fires a Dragon Rage toward her target.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Intersect with Seed Bomb! (Anne Maria commanded. Folgia fires powerful seed-like energy bombs as both moves cancel each other with a big smokescreen.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Quick while we have the element of surprise! Use Razor Leaf! (Anne Maria commanded. Folgia fires her Razor Leaf into the smokescreen. Then Charmander came out of the smoke only to deliver a powerful Focus Punch at the grunting Folgia. Folgia got back up. Soon, she began to glow in green aura.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Folgia? You're glowing? Wait! This is Overgrow! Your ability's activating. (A realized Anne Maria said.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Charmander, use Flamethrower! (Kayoko commanded quickly. Charmander fires Flamethrower.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Dodge it! Quick! (Anne Maria commanded. Much to everybody's surprise, Folgia instantly dodged the Flamethrower with ease.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Use Seed Bomb! (Anne Maria added. Folgia quickly approached Charmander and fires Seed Bomb directly at her.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Use Metal Claw! (Kayoko commanded.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Dodge and Tackle! (Anne Maria counters. Folgia dodged the Metal Claw and Tackles Charmander directly.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Good! Now follow it with a Vine Whip and Tackle combo! (Anne Maria added. Folgia's Vine Whip lands a painful hit at Charmander followed by Tackle. Charmander is growling frustratedly.)

Kayoko Ashioku: This means nothing! You're only delaying the inevitable. You can't beat me! (Kayoko warned her opponent.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Keep telling yourself that after I beat your Charmander! Folgia use Take Down! (Anne Maria commanded. Soon, Folgia sneaked up on the startled Charmander and unleashed the powerful, but risky Take Down, forcing Charmander to roughly land on the ground.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Folgia use Vine Whip to launched yourself to the air up high. (Anne Maria commanded. Folgia did take as she was high in the air above the regaining conscious Charmander, but noticed the battlefield darken but with green lights radiating it. Charmander and Kayoko widen their eyes at the sight in the air. Anne Maria ordered Folgia to air dance while releasing up to 15x Razor Leaf as it was turned into a massive current of leaves filled with immense Grass-Type energy. The power from this newly created move was so tense that force the wind to redirect back and smokes dispelling away while Charmander was covering her eyes.)

Anne Maria Gambino: NOW! FIRE YOUR RAZOR LEAF HURRICANE! (Anne Maria roared. Folgia roars intensely as well. She fired her improved move Razor Leaf Hurricane directly at Charmander as there was no way out. Charmander was caught in the attack. BOOOOOMMMMM! SWOOOSSHHHH! Once the light died down, Folgia managed to fall back down to the ground on her feet.)

Folgia (Anne Maria Gambino's Bulbasaur): (Pant) (Pant) (Pant) (She mustered in exhaustion. Her Overgrow powered down. Within the smoke, a glowing light was forming. Anne Maria sighed in relief knowing that Folgia defeated Charmander.)

Anne Maria Gambino: It took all of my team, but we finally take down that goldilocks Japanese princess's baby dragon. Now we can-

Kayoko Ashioku: Prepare to lose. Cause she's not down. (Kayoko said. Anne Maria saw the direction Kayoko was pointing and saw not only Charmander's HP in red, but still able to fight, much to her bulging shock.)

Kayoko Ashioku's Charmeleon: | Whoops! Psych! | (Said a different, but familiar voice. Folgia stared shockingly at the sight of her opponent, who not only survived but evolved into a Charmeleon.)

Kayoko Ashioku: You can hate me for all I care, but the truth is, my newly evolved Charmeleon has only been fighting your party with half of her full strength. (Kayoko explained. Anne Maria gasped in shock. After dusting herself off, Charmeleon got into fighting stance. Despite the little bit of strength that remains in her, Folgia activated her Overgrow. Charmeleon did the same and activated her ability, Blaze. Folgia pants repeatedly. Anne Maria commanded her to use Tackle at the approaching Charmeleon, but upon tackling the Flame Pokémon, she barely inflict any damage. Anne Maria gasped shockingly.)

Anne Maria Gambino: No! Folgia, use Razor Leaf! (A desperate Anne Maria cried. Folgia tried to power up another Razor Leaf, but it only fired a few leaves, and it had no inflicting effects on Charmeleon.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Damnit! Da- Damnit! Folgia doesn't have enough energy to use Special Moves. (Anne Maria realized.)

Kayoko Ashioku: C'mon. You gotta have more than that Anne Maria. I'd could've sworn to recall that you were gonna defeat Charmeleon or was that only when she was just a Charmander. Tell you what I'll give you five tries to take down my Charmeleon. (Kayoko stated confidently. Anne Maria was gritting in frustration but in indecision at what she could do to beat Charmeleon.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Fo- Folgia… use Tackle. (Anne Maria mustered. A tiring Folgia lands a weaker Tackle at the cross arms Charmeleon, but barely felt any damage. She commanded Folgia another Tackle, but to little effect. Next was a Vine Whip, but what good did it do against a Fire-Type. And for the fourth command, Folgia used another Tackle, but once again, it barely harmed the Flame Pokémon. Both teams on the galleries were either shocked or startled by this.)

Folgia (Anne Maria Gambino's Bulbasaur): | I-it's no use… I'm out of energy. | (Folgia mustered while panting. Charmeleon shook her head.)

Kayoko Ashioku: (I've grown tired of this so-called "battle") (Smirks cruelly) This is your last chance to defeat my Charmeleon. C'mon, Anne Maria. Your Bulbasaur must have one more surge of power to defeat Charmeleon. Of course, even if you do miraculously defeat her, there's still five more full health Pokémon ready to finish where she left off. (Kayoko said. For the first time in her life, Anne Maria cries tears of sadness, having to fight a futile battle she knows she can't win.)

Anne Maria Gambino: Folgia! Please forgive me! But use Seed Bomb! (Anne Maria cried in despair, hating herself for forcing her Seed Pokémon to waste the last of her strength on a non-effective Pokémon. Folgia, still defiant, channels all of the remaining power she had and fires Seed Bomb directly at her target. Once the dust dispel, Charmeleon was inflict damage, but not so much. Folgia was shocked beyond comprehensions.)

Kayoko Ashioku: Alright. I've had my fun for one night. Charmeleon, let's end this with Flamethrower. (Kayoko finished. With her Blaze empowering her stats, Charmeleon mustered the biggest and fired the most powerful Flamethrower directly at the screaming Folgia. Anne Maria secretly cried at this, helpless to help her friend in Folgia. Once the Flamethrower ended, Folgia was laying on her stomach, completely fainted. The monitor shows Folgia's HP is now at zero, immediately displaying the winner of the elimination battle being Kayoko Ashioku.)

Kaoru Aizawa: This elimination battle is over. The winner who will continue to advance is Kayoko Ashioku. Anne Maria Gambino, as the loser of this battle, you are hereby cut from the competition and has been placed 60th, currently last place. (Kaoru said all of that before she toss Kayoko her GS Ball. Anne Maria returned Folgia in her Poké Ball but didn't reply due to the sadness she felt at nearly getting her Starter possibly harmed too much. Kayoko took a brief look at her defeated ex-teammate but ignored as she stood before Kaoru with a bow.)

Kayoko Ashioku: If it pleases my teammates, I wish to take my turn in exile for the rest of night. (Kayoko requested. Kaoru nodded.)

Kaoru Aizawa: Your exile destination is Routes 24 and 25. Along with the intel that there are sights of a Mew or Mewtwo idol, you will receive a PC Box. We'll transfer your Meowth from HQ to your PC. (Kaoru answered. Kayoko bowed in respect before she left for her exile. With the elimination done and over, both teams were left traumatized a bit at the raw display of might that happened tonight.)

Akina Sakata: Sure, Anne Maria took out her pend up anger at me, but even she didn't deserve watching her Pokémon getting devastated before her eyes. (A sobbing Akina said. Sensing his girlfriend crying, Cody cuddles her as she tightens for comfort.)

Cody Anderson: It's hard for me to admit, but for once, this battle didn't bring joy or excitement to me. (Cody admits.)

Ezekiel Landwirt: I'm still new with Pokémon, but I agree with you, Cody. (Ezekiel replied.)

Ben Jutsuku: Me too. (Ben added. Even a serious Natsuko and Tatsumi nodded in agreement.)

Natsuko Bushimori: One moment she was a quiet and humble competitor and the next thing you know, she set into the battlefield, she was fighting as if she was a conqueror establishing dominion over the entire land. (Natsuko said. The scene changes to show Kayoko in Route 24 as she posed her right hand at a nearby tree.)

Tatsumi Akeito (Voice-Over): And upon seeing into her eyes. They were filled with talent and vision, but if you look into closer. There's something dark about her. Violent and empty, but mostly of… (Kayoko blasted a pink energy wave and sliced the tree in half. The scene switch to revealed a glaring Kayoko filled with complete anger and hate.)

Tatsumi Akeito: Hatred. Pure, unrestricted hatred. (Tatsumi finished. Scene shows Tatsumi entering deep into the woods.)

Kaoru Aizawa (Narrator): Now with the first elimination battle completed. Just what kind of secrets does our blonde prodigy Ashioku have in store for her sub-team. Will our heroes find a way to resolve the darkness within Ashioku's heart or can they muster the strength they need to defeat her? Tune in for the next episode of Total Drama Pokémon Adventure! As the journey continues. (Kaoru finished.)

[Preview]

Heather Hamilton: Okay! I know I took part in Kayoko's plan, but the way she toyed and dominated Anne Maria in battle was just… I don't know what I can descript it. It was too much. Even I would never do that to my worst enemies. (Heather said honestly.)

Noah Thomas: I know, and I usually don't care much about people, but the way she had her Pokémon attacked Anne Maria's. It was scary. (Noah admits in astonishment.)

Alejandro Burromuerto: Madre de Dios. Even my own ancestors would never commit such actions. I mean, they probably did, but this… (Alejandro added.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Still, maybe we should try to give her some space and let her calm down. (Daisuke reassures.)

Misty: Now that's the Daisuke I know and love. Always seeing the bright side of everything. (Misty compliments.)

Noah Thomas: Must you always do that. (Noah remarked.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Well, someone has to. (Daisuke remarked back.)

Anne Maria: (Silent)

Daisuke & Misty: Next time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 005 – The Mermaid and the Wartortle Samurai! (Daisuke and Misty announced simultaneously.)

Cody Anderson: If anything, I'm glad we're gonna be the first to get to Vermillion City. And what's more I'm just so happy I finally have a girlfriend in you, my hime-sama. (Cody said while compliment his girlfriend.)

Akina Sakata: Ah, Cody-kun. I'm so happy to have you in my- wait a minute. (Akina stopped and noticed something.)

Cody Anderson: What's wrong, did I do something-

Akina Sakata: No, it's that. I mean is that a Pokémon up on that rock. (Akina asked.)

Cody Anderson: Uh! You are right. And it's not just any ordinary Pokémon it's a-

Finally! FINALLY! I have completed this episode. Originally it was supposed to be 75 pages long, but with Elimination Battles, it is now sum up to 80 pages. Don't worry. I'm gonna return to 60 pages for the next episode. Anyway, I like to address forward to any readers if you have reach at the flashback of Akina Sakata and apologize in advance for some mature theme into it. I wanted to show you all that despite the amazing creations Japan has made, even it is has its secret darkness and immoral people who take advantage or pick on other due to their appearance or jealously. Also that most men who cannot control their urges will make disgusting acts against innocence girls and women. And I am sorry for what happened to Haruto and Akira. Don't worry, they're still alive, but they won't appear until after this first season of the in-universe show is completed and will make appearances in a sequel series, which includes other spin-off for future plans. Also, yes, Kayoko was being a complete psycho with their battle style, but she did mention she was ordering her Pokémon to hold back. She was only doing that to show her dominance among her own sub-team and the opposing one and to do so she used Anne Maria, a well-known minor antagonist, as an example. Also, yes finally Cody and Akina are at long last a couple. Sure, Cody has had a crush on Gwen, and he had an unrequited crush from Sierra, but I feel like my OC Akina is the right girl for him. She help him get stronger and in turn he helps her be more happier. But don't frown my beloved viewers, they won't be the only fanon couples, just be patient and you'll see more. Also, yeah Natsuko's father is a world-famous warrior and kendo instructor but that in just scratching the surface as they said. You'll know when the time is right that her father Kenga has some connection with Pokémon in general.

Also, I wanted to clarify that the stone Ben found off-screen from Viridian Forest is indeed a Mega Stone, but it ain't a canon one from Generation VI. It's gonna be a secret for now, but what I can tell is that there are more Mega Stones hidden in the natural environments around Kanto to introduce new Mega Evolution forms. Speaking of Mega Evolution, I have just debut the Venusaurite, Charizardite X, Charizardite Y and Blastoisinite. Don't worry, they're not the only ones to make their debuts. Just be patient.
