Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 005 – The Mermaid and the Wartortle Samurai
[Kanto Region – Pokémon Nation] [Pokémon World]
[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto] [August 16th, 2017]
Chris McLean (Narrator): Last time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure…. After my assist- Uh! I mean, co-host Aizawa made her debut, our Trainers were building up a lot of sweat and tears as well. Especially after Akina revealed her tragic childhood, Cody and the rest of the Braving Charizard not only rescued but won the challenge. The first elimination battle was between Kayoko and Anne Maria and in the end, it was Anne Maria who was trimmed back like the stubborn tree she is. Seriously, how much hair product does this chick uses. (Chris said as reruns of what he said appeared. Next scene shows Heather losing to Misty as her Nidoran was defeated by Staryu's Bubble Beam. And the next scene shows Starmie defeating Alejandro's Charmeleon.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Once the next day came, not only has the Charizard left for their next destination, but the first Gyarados to do battle were Heather, but too bad she couldn't make it pass Misty's Staryu. Alejandro's Charmeleon didn't do well either against the Tomboyish Mermaid's Starmie despite taking down Staryu. It will take all they have to overcome both the Star Shape and Mysterious Pokémon duo. (Chris stated. The scene shows the Braving Charizard leaving the underground path and arriving in Route 6.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Meanwhile, the Braving Charizard finally made to Route 6, overcoming a lot of wild Pokémon, leveling up and even causing some of their Pokémon to undergoes evolution. (Chuckling) Also, hard to believe it but Cody and Akina are now an item. Go figure. (Chris stated. As Chris said, Cody's Squirtle, Pigi, Natsuko's first Oddish, and Sniperbee were evolving into new Pokémon, much to their owners' surprise.)
Chris McClean (Narrator): As our winning team are close to reach Vermillion, will the Gyarados defeat Gym Leader Misty and picked up the pace? Now then, let's watch and see what aware the Braving Charizard in their path through Route 6. (Chris finished. In Squirtle's place was a bipedal, indigo Pokémon similar to a turtle, possessing brown eyes, a dark blue streak on each cheek, and two sharp teeth protruding from its upper jaw with three clawed fingers and pointed toes, feather-like ears covered in pale blue fur, a brown shell with a pale-yellow underside encases its body and a thick, white rim separates the upper and lower halves of the shell. Pigi was now a Pidgeotto. Natsuko's Oddish was now a blue, bipedal Pokémon with rudimentary hands and feet, a flower with spherical petals surrounded by four reddish-brown leaves on her head with large white spots on each petal. And Sniperbee evolved into a Kakuna. Cody and Pikachu were amazed by the newly evolved form of their friend. Akina and Charmander were awestruck at seeing Pigi entering her first stage. Natsuko was silently impressed with an astonished Kusabana, the second Oddish, by the result of her first Oddish, Hanabira's new form as Gloom and Ben and Big Wing grinning happily at Sniperbee at his first stage. Without a second more, Cody and Natsuko brought out and scan their evolved Pokémon via their Pokédexes.)
Cody's Pokédex: "Wartortle, the Turtle Pokémon and the Evolved Form of Squirtle."
"It often hides in water to stalk unwary prey. For swimming fast, it moves its ears to maintain balance." (The Pokédex stated.)
Natsuko's Pokédex: "Gloom, the Weed Pokémon and the Evolved Form of Oddish."
"The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey." (The Pokédex explains. Kusabana approached her newly evolved sister Hanabira in awestruck.)
Kusabana (Natsuko Bushimori's Oddish): (Sister, you did it. You have finally evolved into a Gloom. How does it feel?) (Kusabana asked. Hanabira saw her new hands and only saw her leaves partially.)
Hanabira: (Slightly depressing but I suppose it is part of the Gloom nature, but I am still me sister.) (Hanabira answered with a small smile. Squirtle, now Wartortle, saw his new clawed hands, his long white tail, astonished at first, but got approached by Pikachu.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: (Hey Wartortle. Evolved or not, you're still the same Pokémon we know and love in our friends.) (Pikachu assures his Turtle Pokémon friend. Wartortle smiles brightly at the words Pikachu spoked. Once it was done, every Braving Charizard resume their journey to Vermillion City, but with Cody's Wartortle walking by his side and Pikachu standing on his shoulder. Akina returned her Pigi back in her Poké Ball, but brought out Charcha and Rika, who the latter was standing on her shoulder too. Both newly couple held hands together as they were blushing happily at each other, much to their friends and Pokémon's happiness. Pikachu and Rika nuzzle their noses affectively. Sniperbee, being held by Ben, with Big Wing flying by their side. Ezekiel brought out his Charmeleon. Tatsumi brought out Dracoza and Clefairy. Natsuko brought out Kusahime.)
Sniperbee (Ben Jutsuku's Kakuna): (Hey, Big Wing. Do you think I will finally evolve into a Beedrill before or after we make it to Vermillion City?) (Sniperbee asked.)
Big Wing (Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree): (It will come, but you shouldn't be rushing it.) (Big Wing said.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Say Ben. I know you told us you nickname your Pokémon in superhero names based on the ones you read from comic books, but Big Wing? (Tatsumi said with a raised brow.)
Ben Jutsuku: What about Big Wing? (Ben asked.)
Tatsumi Akeito: There's nothing wrong with him, but the name you gave him. It doesn't seem to fit him. (Tatsumi confessed. Ben looked dumbfound at this, but one look at Big Wing's sheepishly looks while Sniperbee looked confused by this, the obvious answer finally hit him in the brain. Ben facepalm himself.)
Ben Jutsuku: Ah, man. Why didn't I see this? (An anime crying Ben exasperated, much to an amused Tatsumi's giggle. Ben got over it.)
Ben Jutsuku: So Butterfree? What kind of nickname would you want? (Ben asked. Butterfree thought it over and turned to face Ben.)
Big Wing (Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree): (Well, now that you mentioned it. Big Wing makes it sound like I only have one wing. Let's see, it needs to the right words to know my fighting spirit, my will to soar through the skies and overcome any obstacles to save the day.) (Butter answered while posing like a superhero, much to Sniperbee's chagrin.)
Ben Jutsuku: In that case, about Butterjet? (Ben said. Butterfree widen his eyes and quickly shook his head.)
Ben Jutsuku: Hmm, how about… Fighterjet? (Ben said. Butterfree looked annoyed with how ridiculous that name sounds. Tatsumi rose a brow in an unamused expression.)
Ben Jutsuku: Okay. Okay. What about… Jetwing, no. Freeflow, nah. Freedomfly… (That's when it hit both Tatsumi and Butterfree.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Wait! Freedomfly! That's it! (Tatsumi replied. Ben thought it over and realize it.)
Ben Jutsuku: Freedomfly. Butterfree, what do you think? (Ben asked.)
Ben Jutsuku's Butterfree: (Freedomfly? Actually that's not a bad name! I like it!) (Butterfree approves. He nodded.)
Ben Jutsuku: Cool! Then Freedomfly is your new name! (Ben declared. Butterfree, rather, Freedomfly nodded. Soon, he and Sniperbee were returned back into their Poké Balls. Akina and Cody were glancing lovingly at each other.)

(The scene shows both Akina and Cody sitting on the bed of Cody's confessional.)
Cody Anderson: After we won the second gym challenge, Akina-hime and I went out at a seafood place called CascadeFish. The place was a bit fancy, and I was a bit of a nervous wreck. (A sheepishly Cody stated. Akina closed her eyes with a smile.)
Akina Sakata: Well, you weren't the only worry Caterpie, Cody-kun. But once we saw the worries we had in our eyes, we pulled ourselves together and started talking about where we're from and basic topics. (Akina said.)
Cody Anderson: Aside of things we already know, of the seasons I've taken part in, we also learn more about ourselves. Such as how her father is an Air Force colonel in the Japanese Self-Defense Force, her mother being a homemaker, but was quite a street leader of an all-girl biker gang but settled down with her father after saving her every time she recklessly declared war. (Cody said all of that which let a smiling Akina to playfully elbow him. Cody laughed lightly.)
Akina Sakata: And the fact that you are so fun-loving despite having two university scholarly professors for parents isn't that much interesting. (Akina stated.)
Cody Anderson: But parents aside. Getting to know each other by talking help us relax and enjoy our time together. Afterwards, we went off shopping, gone to a karaoke bar, fed a few Pidgey at the park and watch the fountain springs together. (Cody said. Akina embraces and gives her boyfriend a kiss on the lips.)
Akina Sakata: No matter where we went, it was the best date we had in our lives. (Akina finished. A happy Cody sighs affectionally.)

(Both Akina and Cody shares another kiss. When Akina slightly turn, she widen her eyes in slight surprise at what she saw.)
Cody Anderson: What's wrong? (Cody asked in concern.)
Akina Sakata: Is that a Pokémon on top of that rock? (Akina said. Cody and the others turned and saw a very familiar, but worried Pokémon on top of a big rock. It was a Fire Type, but not only ordinary Fire-Type. It was a Charmander with a weak flame on the tip of his tail. Cody gasps in comical amazement.)
Cody Anderson (Gabbling) It's a Charmander! (Cody mustered excitedly. Unknown to the Braving Charizard, a pair of wild Pokémon were observing behind the rock.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Back to the Raging Gyarados, currently at Cerulean Gym, Alejandro and Heather were away training for their second time, Misty's next challenger was none other than her boyfriend Daisuke Umizawa. Daisuke and Misty stared at each other with confident smirks as they brought out their Poké Balls.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Even though I knew, I will never imagine we get to battle so soon. (Smiles) Still, you don't need to hope because like you, I intend to win! (Daisuke said in a cocky-like tone. Happy to hear that, Misty smirks proudly at her boyfriend's mature and understanding nature.)
Misty: Me too! I won't be holding back just because you're my boyfriend. Go Staryu! (Misty said. Staryu came out ready for battle.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Psyduck, let's get stoked! (Daisuke called out. Psyduck came out of his Poké Ball and is ready to battle, despite the usual nature of his species.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Psyduck: (Hmm, I got your mind- back, I meant back, Daisuke.) (A clumsy Psyduck said while correcting himself.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Let the first match…, BEGIN! (The Ref announces.)
Misty: Staryu, use Tackle! (Misty commanded. Staryu charges toward Psyduck.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Intersect it with Scratch! (Daisuke counters. Psyduck's hands glows as white claws shines. Both Psyduck and Staryu clashes in a stalemate until Psyduck broke it and lands a direct hit at Staryu.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Next, let's use Tail Whip! (Daisuke commanded. Psyduck's Tail Whip, decreases Staryu's Defense stat.)
Misty: Staryu, stand on guard and use Swift. (Misty commanded. Staryu fires Swift directly at Psyduck, taking damage from it. Psyduck grunts due to the slight headache cause by the attack.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Psyduck: (What a pain in my head.) (Psyduck complained.)
Misty: Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Use Water Gun! (Daisuke commanded. Staryu and Psyduck fired their respective Water-Type Special Moves which cause a foamy reaction. Despite this, both Misty and Daisuke were grinning excitedly.)
Misty: Impressive display of waterpower your Psyduck has. You've been training since this morning. (Misty asked.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Guilty as charged. However I got up at 4:25 in the morning. Building up my Pokémon's stamina by swimming through the river. (Daisuke explained.)
Misty: Not to mention battling traveling trainers and wild Pokémon that are in Routes 4, 24 and 25, even without the use of a Pokémon having learned Surf. (Misty explained anticipate his words. Daisuke stared at Misty as she appeared lovely and shining in his eyes.)

Daisuke Umizawa: (Chuckling nervously) Well, what can I say. I can't resist or deny the fact I have a beauty of the sea for a girlfriend. (Daisuke confessed while subbing the back of his head.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
Daisuke Umizawa: Now, Psyduck use Tail Whip. (Daisuke commanded. Psyduck used Tail Whip which decreased Staryu's Defense even more.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Psyduck: (Nah, nah!) (Psyduck mocked. Despite their lack of facial expression, Staryu had a tic mark on their face. Misty blushed bewildered, but keeps it together, grunting annoyingly.)
Misty: No offense, Daisuke but that Psyduck of yours has some nerve mocking Staryu. (Misty mustered. Daisuke smiles sheepishly.)
Daisuke Umizawa: That's idea! Quick Psyduck! Jump into the pool! (Daisuke commanded. Psyduck enters the pool.)
Misty: Follow him! (Misty commanded. Staryu enters the pool as well. Both Duck Pokémon and Star Shape Pokémon stare off, waiting for their next command.)
Misty: Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Staryu fires their Bubble Beam.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Stand on the defense, Psyduck! (Daisuke commanded. Psyduck placed his hands on the sides of his head, resembling that of Misty's Psyduck from the anime. However, Psyduck got hit by the Bubble Beam directly. Psyduck groans painfully.)
Misty: Use Swift! (Misty added. Staryu fires Swift directly at Psyduck. Psyduck groans painfully. Misty looks serious while Daisuke had his eyes closed.)
Misty: (Something's wrong? In the short time, I got to know him, Daisuke wouldn't just stand there and let his Pokémon getting hurt. There's got to be something he thought out when he brought out Psyduck? Unless…) (Misty widen her eyes in realization.)
Misty: Staryu! Tackle! (Misty commanded. Staryu charges toward Psyduck, intending to use Tackle. Suffering a massive headache from the constant attacks, Psyduck concentrated and opening his eyes, which were glowing in blue, filled with rich Psychic Type energy. Daisuke grins at this.)
Daisuke Umizawa: X marks the spot! Psyduck! Attack Staryu with Confusion! (Daisuke commanded. Misty gasped at this, and Noah was surprised by this. Just as Staryu was in reach, they stopped, and with one powerful pend up stress and unleashed a powerful Confusion, which was an invisible psychic blast, launched Staryu away with inflicted damage. Staryu grunts painfully.)
Misty: Quick, use Recover! (Misty commanded. Staryu slowly starts to their Recover.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Use Confusion again! (Daisuke commanded. Psyduck fires another Confusion directly at Staryu again. Staryu grunts painfully, having their Recover delayed.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Alright, Psyduck! Use Confusion, but this time… channel into your left hand and strike down Staryu with Scratch! (Daisuke commanded. Soon, Psyduck activated his Confusion but followed Daisuke's orders and channels the psychic energy into his left hand as he swam upward toward the Star Shape Pokémon.)
Misty: Staryu, use Swift! (Misty commanded. Staryu prepares Swift. However, Psyduck's determination and combining moves were manifesting a Psychic-type energy claws.)

(The camera turns on to reveal a surprise Noah from what he just witness in the Cerulean Gym and the unifying nature of a new move. Abra was by his side.)
Noah Thomas: Okay, maybe ignoring the anime wasn't such a good idea. Did you see the way Daisuke combined both Confusion and Scratch as a whole new move? (Noah stated and asked his Abra.)
Noah Thomas's Abra: (I did sense the special Psychic power of Confusion integrated into the physical move of Scratch. And the way the energies of both two different moves were mixing without difficulties.) (Abra replied. Noah nodded, slightly understanding his Psi Pokémon.)
Noah Thomas: It was like from one move, two moves were unifying a brand new one. (Eye widens) Unifying Moves! Hah! I call it! Take that Pokémon Researchers! (Noah bragged. Abra shakes its head in a playful manner at the naming of the new discovery Noah found.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
Daisuke Umizawa: Psyduck, full sails! Unify both Confusion and Scratch! Finish this match with Confusion Claw! (Daisuke commanded. Everyone in the gym widen their eyes in astonishment.)
Daisuke's Psyduck: (Daisuke! You're first person who ever believe in me and in my potential than the rest of my flock did. I will win this match! Win this battle for me, the others and for YOU!) (Psyduck declares as the Confusion Claw enlarges and without the need to physically be near, Psyduck reels up his left hand, which the psychic claw follow suit and with a fierce quack, Psyduck's Confusion Claw lands a decisive hit at the screeching Staryu! Staryu was the first to resurface from the pool, but it was beaming quietly, following Psyduck who emerged back to the surface. The ref raised his arm.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Staryu is unable to battle. Psyduck wins this round. (The referee announces. Misty managed to pull Staryu back to her side as she cleans Staryu with a towel. On Daisuke's side, Psyduck was drinking a special blend juice of Persim and Oran Berries which he dubbed as Calm Mind Poké Juice. After taking a few sips, Psyduck's headaches were gone.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Psyduck: (Ah! Another perk of being Daisuke's Pokémon is the rich blending gold that are Poké Juices. Few sips and my headaches are gone.) (Psyduck expressed.)
Misty's Staryu: (For-give me, Misty. I couldn't beat that Psyduck.) (Staryu mustered. Misty smiles at her Star Shape Pokémon kindly. Staryu was relieved by this.)
Misty: Take a good rest, Staryu. You've earned it. (Misty said being beaming Staryu back into their Poké Ball and put it away. Misty turned her attention to Daisuke who stared back to his Gym Leader girlfriend. Misty's frown turned into a proud smirk.)
Misty: Not bad, my shark boy. (Misty said with a couple nickname she has for Daisuke. Daisuke smirks proudly too.)
Daisuke Umizawa: You ain't bad too, my lovely mermaid. (Daisuke commented while complimenting her.)

(Camera shows a blank, but annoyed Noah at the display of love between Misty and Daisuke, much to his dismay.)
Noah Thomas: (Moaning annoyingly.) Even when they have to battle each other, must they feel their affections with pet names? (Noah remarked.)

(Soon, Daisuke beams Psyduck back into his Poké Ball. And brought out another one.)
Daisuke Umizawa: As much as I want to flirt with you more, but let's on focus on the next match. (Daisuke stated, returning back to reality. Misty noticed and agreed in silence with brought out the Poké Ball containing her ace.)
Misty: Come on out, Starmie! (Misty calls. Starmie came out of their Poké Ball.)
Misty's Starmie: (I shall stop your opponent's momentum from defeating you, Misty.) (Starmie said. Daisuke enlarge the Poké Ball.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Squirtle, let's get stoked! (Daisuke calls. Squirtle came out of his Poké Ball. Squirtle crossed his arms.)
Daisuke's Squirtle: (Don't worry, Daisuke. It's time to put our training to the test.) (Squirtle said serious.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Let the match… BEGIN! (The referee announced.)
Misty: Starmie! Use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Use Rapid Spin too, Squirtle! (Daisuke commanded. Both Squirtle and Starmie use Rapid Spin and temporarily got into a stalemate until Starmie broke it and lands most of damage at the grunting Squirtle.)
Misty: Perfect work, Starmie. Use Rapid Spin again! (A smirking Misty commanded. Starmie uses Rapid Spin and approaches Squirtle.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Just the way I like these currents. Squirtle use Aqua Jet, Whirling Style! (Daisuke commanded confidently. A proud smiling Squirtle channels energy Water Type energy, engulfed in a powerful stream of water, using Aqua Jet and dodges Starmie while surrounding them in a whirlpool fashion and lands a critical hit directly at Starmie. Starmie grunts painfully. Misty gasped at this.)
Misty: Starmie! (Misty yelled in a worrisome tone. Starmie got back on their feet.)
Misty: Use Recover! (Misty commanded. Starmie began Recover and managed to recover their HP. Misty smiles in relief.)
Misty: I gotta admit, Daisuke. That Aqua Jet of yours was something else. And the way you use swim techniques into creating new fighting styles is remarkable. (Misty compliments. Daisuke nodded.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Thank you, Misty. (Daisuke replied.)
Misty: Still… there's no way I'm gonna lose. Prepare yourself for defeat! (Misty declared.)
Daisuke Umizawa: As my grandfather once said, "it ain't over until the captain dies with his sinking ship." (Daisuke commented. Noah and the arriving Heather and Alejandro rose a brow in curiosity at the mention of their Water-Type teammate's family history.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Jump into the pool, Squirtle! (Daisuke commanded. Squirtle swims inside the pool.)
Misty: This again? Starmie, follow Squirtle. (Misty commanded. Starmie swam down into the pool determine to fight their opponent. They searched until they spotted a shadow resembling Squirtle.)
Misty: Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie fires Bubble Beam directly at their target. However, it wasn't Squirtle, but a pile of rocks. Squirtle manage to sneak behind the dumbfound Mysterious Pokémon.)
Daisuke Umizawa: X marks the spot! Squirtle, use Rapid Spin! (Daisuke commanded, finding his mark. Squirtle uses Rapid Spin again, but this time lands a direct hit at the grunting Starmie from behind. Soon both Water-Type Trainers got serious stares as they were determining which would win.)
Daisuke & Misty: TIME TO GET SERIOUS! (They shouted simultaneously. Starmie was ordered to use Tackle which lands a hit at Squirtle. Squirtle fires Water Gun at Starmie directly. Both Daisuke and Misty sweating and panting due to the bond between them and their Pokémon.)
Misty: (Wow! Of all Water-Type Trainers that challenge me, and I defeated, they don't hold a candle to Daisuke. He's something else. It's he has some kind of power that is affinized with Water and Fighting Types.) (Misty said mentally while envisioned Daisuke in a fighting stance radiating blue and scarlet red colored aura briefly.)
Daisuke Umizawa: (Man, Misty really is something. This Gym Battle has only strengthened my respect and love for her even more. But since most of my team are here, I need to end this and win my second gym badge.) (Daisuke thought. Daisuke crossed his arms and began analyzing a way to win and to brainstorm a Unifying Move.)
Heather Hamilton: Hey, Noah! What's Daisuke doing? (Heather asked rudely.)
Noah Thomas: How should I know. I don't have telepathy. (Noah remarked. The angry stare Heather was giving, was enough for Noah to stop playing games.)
Noah Thomas: (Sighed annoyingly) If I were in his position facing a Water-Type Pokémon and one myself, he is trying to use come up with a Unifying Move. (Noah stated. Heather was confused along with Alejandro.)
Heather Hamilton: Unifying… Moves? (Heather asked.)
Noah Thomas: You know like what Anne Maria did with that Razor Leaf Hurricane last night. It's the term I came up with that defines the mixture of two different moves depending on the Pokémon that possess those moves. (Noah explained. Remembering what occurred last night, Heather and Alejandro could make sense of it.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
Alejandro Burromuerto: Hmm, these newfound types of moves intrigue me. When I think about it more, when Anne Maria had Folgia use Razor Leaf several times while using Vine Whip together, it is as if nature herself was utilizing energies from different ley lines or environments to create a new force either of creation or destruction. Kinda like how in our world, the U.S. developed the atomic bomb that ended World War II. (Alejandro said.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(After spending enough time to develop a plan, Daisuke reopens his eyes as he found one.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I see. Squirtle use Rapid Spin but keep your position! (Daisuke commanded. Squirtle nodded.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle: (You got it, my captain!) (Squirtle agreed. Squirtle retreated inside his shell and began to spin using Rapid Spin. Once he began to increase his speed as some of the waters were surrounding the Tiny Turtle Pokémon, creating a vortex, much to everybody's surprise.)
Misty: (What is he planning to do with that much water?) (Misty wondered.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Keep using Rapid Spin, Squirtle! (Daisuke commanded. With that said, Squirtle continues to spin rapidly as the water vortex as encompassing into a spherical body. Misty gasped surprisingly at hat her boyfriend was up to.)
Misty: Starmie, quick! Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie fires Bubble Beam at Squirtle but unfortunately, the move failed as the Bubble Beam were dispel and popped.)
Misty: Tch. It's no use using Water-Type Moves to pierce through that vortex. Use Swift! (Misty commanded! Starmie charged up and fires Swift at Squirtle. As the Swift were close to landing a hit on their target, Daisuke grins confidently.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Just what I'd except from the ace Pokémon of the Cerulean City Gym Leader. Okay, Squirtle! Unify Rapid Spin and Aqua Jet! Let's WIN THIS WITH SPINNING AQUA COMET! (Daisuke commanded, much to everyone's shock. Once he received his orders, Squirtle uses Aqua Jet on himself and the comet-like water sphere as the sphere was radiating a light blue color aura and began to rapidly fires himself toward Starmie. Once the Swift reached their target, the move was dispelled upon contact, much to Misty and Starmie's shocking surprise.)
Misty & Starmie: What!? No WAY!? (WHAT!? NO WAY!?) (They yelled simultaneously.)
Daisuke Umizawa: GOOO! (Daisuke yelled. Squirtle, in a shadow-clad like form, roars fiercely as he finally lands a DEVASTATING blow at the screeching Starmie.)
Misty's Starmie: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!) (Squirtle inflict an immense amount of damage as they finally reach the surface, with the Spinning Aqua Comet resurfacing as it, reaching help the ceiling as the move ended, splashes of water fell raining down. As a result of the falling drizzles, a rainbow was created, much to Heather, Alejandro and Misty's amazement. Along with them was three young woman who have recently entered the gym. The first has long blond hair and green eyes wearing a pink sweater, green shirt, white skirt and heel shoes. The second has a long blue hair and brown eyes wearing a light orange jacket, an orange dress, and green heel shoes. And the third has long pink hair with curly bangs, blue eyes, a short green sleeve shirt with an orange collar, a blue skirt, long white socks and brown shoes. Coming out of the Unifying Move's aftermath were Squirtle and a heavily battered Starmie. Squirtle lands on his feet while a fainted Starmie lands on their back.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Starmie is unable to battle. Squirtle wins this battle. The victory belongs to Daisuke Umizawa of Shinagawa City. (The referee declared. Daisuke and Squirtle yell victorious. Heather, Alejandro and Noah cheers excitedly. Daisuke and Squirtle thrusted their palms with their arms, but in opposite directions repeatedly.)
Daisuke & Squirtle: Hai! Hai! Hai! SPLASH! / (Hai! Hai! Hai! SPLASH!) (They cheered in victory. Misty beams Starmie back into their Poké Ball. She smiles sadly at her Pokémon.)
Misty: It's okay, Starmie. You gave it your all. Take a rest. You've earned it. (Misty said before she put it away. Daisuke approached Misty with a concern expression on his face.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Misty… (Before any more words were exchange, Misty's eyes were covered as she got up on her feet. Instead of getting mad at him for beating her in battle, Misty pressed her lips deep into Daisuke's, who reacted by returning the favor. They embraced each other. The three girls were touched by this sight of love. So too were Alejandro and Heather as they were staring each other with affection.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Love is a beautiful thing to have. (Alejandro commented as he and Heather shares a kiss together.)

(Misty rewards Daisuke his reward money, TM: Bubble Beam and hands over his Cascade Badge.)
Misty: Here, Daisuke. You've definitely earned this Cascade Badge, my shark boy. (Misty stated with a compliment.)
Daisuke Umizawa: My pleasure, my lovely mermaid. To tell you the truth, I thought you were gonna hate me for defeating you. (Daisuke said. Misty shook her head kindly.)
Misty: Absolutely not. I would've been more upset if you were holding back. I'm just happy that you were giving it your all. (A blushing Misty replied. She smiles happily at him, which Daisuke returns it with his own.)
[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Back at Route 6, the Braving Charizard's journey to Vermillion City was halted upon encountering a lone Charmander.)
Ben Jutsuku: Well, I'll be. It's a Charmander. (Ben said.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Hmm, so it seems. (Tatsumi added. Cody was puzzled by the possibility of a rare Pokémon like a Charmander doing in Route 6. Cody looked with narrowed eyes and saw how small Charmander's flame is.)
Cody Anderson: Oh no! (Cody exclaimed.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
Cody Anderson: This is bad. The flame on a Charmander's tail indicates their life force. The smaller it gets, the chances it will… (grunts sadly) I don't even what to imagine it. (Cody said while resting his forehead on his left hand.)

[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Like Cody, the others were gasping in surprise of the size of the wild Charmander's flame.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Charmander's flame. If the flame on its tail is gone, it could-
Natsuko Bushimori: Yes, Ezekiel. We know. It could die. (Natsuko finished, albeit berating herself for saying the d word. In Cody's mind, there are only two possibilities there is a Charmander in Route 6. One it was kidnapped from its habitat by poachers, and it must've found a way to escape them undetected but doubts it. Or two, its selfish and mean trainer deem it a lost cause and told it a lie that he would come back for it, just so he could be rid of it. Cody gritted his hand in anger.)
Akina Sakata: Cody? (A concern Akina asked. Cody turned to his girlfriend and gave her a small smile.)
Cody Anderson: Oh, Akina-hime. Sorry. I was lost in my thoughts. (Cody answered. Akina knew the reason because she had watched the anime too during her hermitage-like years of why a Charmander was there. Remembering from the anime, Cody got out an empty Poké Ball and prepares to throw it for the catch.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Cody? What are ya doing, eh? (Ezekiel asked, which caught the others' attention.)
Ben Jutsuku: Cody, I know what you're planning to. You can't battle Charmander in its current condition. (A realized Ben said.)
Cody Anderson: Don't worry. I don't need to battle to catch it. (Cody assures. Natsuko grabbed a hold of his wrist holding the Poké Ball.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Even so, you can sympathize it's situation, but you can't force Charmander to go just like you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. (Natsuko lectures. Cody calmed down, knowing his friends are right. Cody puts the ball away.)
Cody Anderson: Maybe if we can learn why Charmander's up there, we can figure something out. (Cody suggested. The others thought about it and found no issues with them.)
Tatsumi Akeito: (Nodded) Now that is a more reasonable and fair approach. (Tatsumi praised. Just as the others were approaching the alerted Charmander, a couple of Ember were fired at them. Luckily, Cody, Akina, Ben and Tatsumi dodged them with ease. An Ember was heading straight for Natsuko in the front until Ezekiel blocks it by grabbing the Ember, much to his burning dismay. Natsuko was touched by how considerate and caring Ezekiel did in his act of protecting her, despite being more than capable of protecting herself. Ezekiel groans strugglingly. He threw the embers at the ground path.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Ezekiel. (Natsuko said.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Don't worry, Natsuko. I managed to survive liquid hot magma, compare to that, these small embers are nothing. (Ezekiel assures. Natsuko could make sense of it. Still, she opened her bag and brought out a med kit and a couple of Oran Berries and crafted a makeshift bandage, covering the burn marks on a hissing Ezekiel's hand. Natsuko makes a playful face.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Hey now. Where did that toughness earlier go? (Natsuko remarked. Ezekiel chuckled sheepishly. After a brief friendly laugh, the others turned and saw a pair of Fire-Type wild Pokémon. The first one is a quadrupedal canine Pokémon possessing orange fur with black stripes along its back and legs, beige fur on its muzzle, chest, belly, and tail, as is an additional tuft of fur on top of its head, gray eyes, a black nose, and large, round and triangular ears with beige interiors, forepaws having two visible claws, while its hind paws have three toes each and each paw has a brown pad. And the second one is a small, quadrupedal, foxlike Pokémon having a red-brown pelt with a cream-colored underbelly, brown eyes, large, pointed ears with dark brown insides, and a triangular dark brown nose, paws are slightly darker than the rest of its pelt and have light brown paw pads and three curled locks of orange fur with bangs on top of its head, and orange tails with curled tips in the total of six.)
Ben Jutsuku: Well, I'll be! A Growlithe and a Vulpix. (Ben exclaimed as he scans the Growlithe with his Pokédex and Tatsumi scans the Vulpix with hers.)
Ben's Pokédex: "Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon."
"It is very protective of its territory. It will bark and bite to repel intruders from its space."
Tatsumi's Pokédex: "Vulpix, the Fox Pokémon."
"At the time of its birth, it has just one tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older." (Both Ben and Tatsumi were amazed and impressed with the information provided to them. They took one look close and saw the angry look both Growlithe and Vulpix were giving them.)
Ben Jutsuku: (They're mad that we're intruding their territory? Or…) (Ben thought as the scene zoom close to his left eye. Then it switches to show Tatsumi's left side.)
Tatsumi Akeito: (Or it is… to protect that Charmander.) (Tatsumi finished. Scene shows Growlithe and Vulpix guarding the Charmander on the top of the rock.)
Wild Growlithe: (Get lost! No Trainer will catch Charmander! Not well we're here!) (Growlithe barked.)
Wild Vulpix: (This Charmander has suffered enough from Trainers who think solely for themselves!) (Vulpix yelled. Charmander, was slightly touched, but moans sadly for his Trainer's return. Cody thought of a plan.)
Cody Anderson: Maybe, if we could send our Pokémon to talk with Charmander, Growlithe and Vulpix and they can explain it to us, maybe we can get to the bottom of this. (Cody explained his plan. The others thought about this and found nothing wrong with the plan.)
Akina Sakata: That is a wise move, Cody-kun. (Bringing out a Poké Ball) And I have just the right one to help. Time to soar, Charcha! (Akina said. Charcha came out and greets Akina with a smile.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (Hi Akina!) (She greeted. Akina gave her Lizard Pokémon an adorable smile too.)
Akina Sakata: Charcha you see that Charmander on that rock? (Akina said. Charcha turns to Akina's direction and saw a laid down Charmander. Charcha was confused by the wild Lizard Pokémon sitting up there.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (A wild Charmander? Is he nice?) (Charcha asked. Pikachu came down and spoke to Charcha.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: (Actually he is, but he's also naïve. Cody thinks he is waiting for his trainer, if he does have one, to come back for it.) (Pikachu explained. Charcha gasped.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (Oh, no. You don't think he was recently abandoned?) (Charcha asked in concern.)
Akina Sakata: We don't for sure. That's why I want you to climb up that rock and talk to him. (Akina explained. Charcha nodded and began to approached the rock until the wild Growlithe and Vulpix noticed her and charges toward her until Pikachu blocks their path.)
Cody's Pikachu: (Growlithe! Vulpix! WAIT! We're not here to fight! Our Pokémon Trainers aren't like Charmander's. We want to know so we can help him! Please! We are all Pokémon in the world!) (Pikachu pleads. Somehow, it worked as both Growlithe and Vulpix were touched and looked at each other for a moment until they turned back to Pikachu. Growlithe nodded.)
Wild Growlithe: (Okay. You've proven yourself and I apologize for the attack we did. We Growlithe are very protective of our territory, but when it comes to Fellow Fire-Types, even those abandoned, I cannot turn a blind eye in their time of needs.) (Growlithe said honestly.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: (Tell me what happened to Charmander.) (Pikachu asked. While the three Pokémon were conversing, Charcha was climbing up to the rock and upon laying a closer sight of the wild Charmander, she felt something sweet and magical finding Charmander being dreamy and cute. With a romantic background, a blushing Charcha had hearts on her eyes.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (He's so…. HOT!) (Charcha mused, having fallen in love with the Charmander. Akina looked adorable while getting upset that Charcha is losing focus.)
Akina Sakata: Hey, Charcha! This isn't a time to be looking for boyfriends! (A comical Akina yelled hysterically. Unfortunately, Charcha ignores her Trainer while she made it to her destination. Charmander turned his attention and saw the heart fill Charcha conversing with him.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (Hi there, cutie! I'm Charcha! And I'm here with my Trainer and her friends! We're a part of a sub-team for TV Reality Show called Total Drama Pokémon. But besides that, wouldyouliketogooutwithyou!) (Charcha said while the last sentence, much to Charmander's confusion.)

(A frowning but concern Akina was holding her upset Charcha who facepalm herself.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (I messed up on asking Charmander's situation, didn't I?) (Charcha asked.)
Akina Sakata: I know you didn't mean to. After being raised by a Pokémon Breeder for the beginning of your life, I can't say I don't understand the reaction you feel for Charmander. After all, I been through two boyfriends before I started dating Cody. (Akina explained.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (But you like him. Cody, I mean.) (Charcha said. Akina made a small smile.)
Akina Sakata: Of course. The date we had was romantic, but the real magic grew more because we were able to spend quality time together. (Akina confessed. Charcha smiles brightly.)

(Charmander simply turned away from Charcha and ignored her, much to Charcha's shock. Charcha anime cries at this lack of attention from male Charmander. The latter however, felt some mutual feelings, but looked guilt-ridden that he forged ignorance but couldn't trust those strangers she's with or betray his trainer. Back on the ground, Pikachu looked astonished.)
Cody's Pikachu: (Unbelieve! To think that human has a right to be calling himself a Pokémon Trainer.) (Pikachu expressed. Growlithe nodded while Vulpix looked upset.)
Wild Vulpix: (I share the same sentiment as you. So please, tell your Trainers not to forcibly catch Charmander. No matter how much it makes us feel uncomfortable leaving him there.) (Vulpix stated. A sadden Pikachu nodded. Once Pikachu and Charcha regroup with the Braving Charizard, they told them everything they learned from their conversations. Tatsumi and Natsuko had their eyes covered but were gritting their fists in anger, Ezekiel clenched his teeth while it briefly turned canine, Sosuke was upset at this, Akina covered her mouth in shock and Cody was boiling mad at this.)
Cody Anderson: I see. So that's whole story, huh? (Cody asked. A sadden Pikachu nodded. After calming down, Cody turned to the rest of his team.)
Cody Anderson: Looks like… we may be here for a while. (Cody said. The others were surprise upon hearing that. Cody smiles a bit.)
Cody Anderson: We need to camp out here and give it our all to help Charmander get it healthy again and help it become stronger too. What do you all think about this suggestion? (Cody asked after explaining his plan. Everybody agreed to this.)
Cody Anderson: Great! Now let's get started on Operation: Charmander Road to Flamethrower! (Cody declared with a grip raised to the sky.)

(During the time with the Raging Gyarados, Noah was the next Trainer to challenge, but effortlessly defeated Staryu with Ivysaur and then switch and defeated Starmie using Paras but didn't use any Unifying Move. Alejandro's Charmeleon defeated Staryu though with difficulties but was switched and chose Spearow who defeated Starmie after gaining enough EXP to learn Pursuit. Heather used Nidoran who managed to defeat Staryu, but now…. Starmie fires their Bubble Beam directly at Nidoran who squeaks painfully. Nidoran fainted.)
Heather Hamilton: (Growls angrily) (Heather was mad, but at the Starmie for beating her Nidoran , but kept quiet.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Nidoran is unable to battle. The winner is Starmie! (The ref announced. Misty hugs her Starmie in gratitude and praising her Mysterious Pokémon. Despite their lack of facial expression, Starmie was loving and appreciating the gratitude she's receiving from her Trainer. Heather beams Nidoran back into her Poké Ball. Despite her bad mood, Heather smiles sadly at her Poké Ball.)
Heather Hamilton: I want you to know yes, I am upset, but not at you. You gave it your all so take a beauty rest, Nidoran. You've definitely earned your keep. (Heather mustered. Noah was shocked by this display of friendship while Daisuke was speechless that the "cold-hearted" queen of mean Heather was being kind and respectful at least toward her Pokémon. Back to Heather, she was seeking for the Pokémon she wants to beat Starmie and seemingly found the Poké Ball, much to her delight.)
Heather Hamilton: Yes! Got it! You wanna mess with me? Well, get ready to go down! Let's seize our victory, Meowth! (Heather yelled as she threw the Poké Ball. However, when she heard being called out, the third Poké Ball on her right back opened and out came the female Meowth, much to Heather's shock expression.)
Heather Hamilton: Meowth!? But that means….? (The Pokémon that came out into the field a female Ekans, recently caught and trained.)
Heather Hamilton's Ekans: (I will strike them down for you, Heather.) (Ekans responded.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
Misty's Starmie: (I am unimpressed with that talentless girl. Sending out a Poison-Type that has the disadvantage against me. Someone like her is an embarrassment of female Trainer.) (Starmie berates. Upon hearing the insults being thrown at Heather, Ekans's Intimidate ability activated as a dark aura was emanating from the Snake Pokémon and glance Starmie a powerful and deadly glare that not only frightens the Mysterious Pokémon, but greatly lowers their Attack stats.)
Heather Hamilton: Huh? What's going on?! (Heather asked, seeing Starmie being fearful, so to speak.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Heather, mi amor! It's Ekans's ability. For obvious reason, it's called Intimidate, which allows the Pokémon entering the battle to lower the opponent's Attack stat dramatically. (Alejandro said to his girlfriend. A realized Heather smirked at this advantage but kept a focus mind.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Let the final match…. BEGIN! (The ref announces.)
Misty: Starmie, use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded. Starmie's Rapid Spin was approaching Ekans. Heather is struggling to give Ekans a command until she brought out her Pokédex and checked Ekans's current moves, one in which intrigued her.)
Heather Hamilton: Okay. Ekans, jump and use Iron Tail! (Heather commanded, much to Misty's astonishment and the others.)
Misty: Your Ekans can use Iron Tail!? (Misty commented in shock. Charging up Steel-Type energy around her tail, and with one swoop, Ekans strikes her Iron Tail at Starmie directly. Starmie screeched painfully.)
Misty: Quick, Starmie. Use Recover! (Misty commanded. Starmie use Recover. During that process, Heather, with crossed arms, waited for the Recover move to finish.)
Noah Thomas: Heather! What are you doing!? You're letting that Starmie fully recover! (A disbelief Noah shouted.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Noah's right. This is your chance! (Daisuke added.)
Heather Hamilton: I know, but… I want my Ekans to face that Starmie at its full strength. I want to see not only if I could use a… Unifying Move as you said, but I want Ekans and I to prove I can fight straight and smart without manipulating the battle. (A serious, but honest Heather explained. Alejandro, Noah and Daisuke widen their eyes. In all they saw from the Queen Bee of Total Drama, she was always mean spirited, backstabbing and manipulative, but this new attitude was different… it was like she was possessed by an angel or… something was changing in Heather's personality. The only one who was not buying it was Noah with crossed arms.)
Noah Thomas: Okay! Seriously. Since when does that mattered to you? (Noah asked skeptical.)

Heather Hamilton: It's none of Noah's beeswax, but I hate to admit, he's right. It doesn't sound a lot like me to give my opponents a fair chance or wanting to try to bond with people or animals. Let alone Pokémon. When suddenly I've been having these weird… voices. And no, I'm crazy. I know what consciouses are. But this one was… growing… stronger. Recently, I've become more concerning with my Pokémon. Trained alongside them. And…. (Fast-forwarding rapidly) …And no, it's a matter of pride and to gain more EXPs. (Heather confessed.)

Daisuke Umizawa: Call me crazy, but I think in this season, Heather is slowly changing from bad to good. (Daisuke whispered to his male teammates.)
Noah Thomas: You know what. You're right. You are crazy. (Noah said rudely. Daisuke smiles sheepishly but wasn't offended.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I understand your reaction, Noah. Given that your history with Heather on two seasons. Still, I remain convince that Heather will have a change of heart. Maybe not now for most people, but for the Pokémon she has, it is now. (Daisuke finished with a hint of wisdom. Even Alejandro couldn't be help but applauded to Daisuke's words. Back to the battle, Starmie was ordered to fire Bubble Beam repeatedly, but at each turn, Ekans dodged them in a dancer style.)
Heather Hamilton: Use Poison Sting! (Heather commanded. Ekans fires Poison Sting at Starmie directly. However, Starmie didn't lose much HP due to the fact that Poison Type moves have little less effect on Psychic Types, which was their secondary type. And yet Heather wasn't fazing by this. Misty looked confused by this.)
Misty: (Hmm, why would Heather use a Poison-Type move against Starmie, if she knew Poison-Types have no effect on Starmie.) Still, better play it safe. Starmie, use Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded. Starmie's Rapid Spin was approaching their target.)
Heather Hamilton: Ekans, wait for to come! That's it and…. (As Starmie was gonna hit Ekans, that's when Heather let out a cocky grin.)
Heather Hamilton: And Bite! (Heather yelled. Misty gasped. Soon, Ekans opened her mouth, charged with energy to form a pair of sharped fangs of Dark Type and upon Starmie's arrival… CRUNCH! Ekans used Bite to land a super effective hit on Starmie. Starmie screeched extremely in pain.)
Misty: Starmie! Are you alright?! (Misty yelled in concern. Slowly, Starmie got up, despite their tiredness. While Ekans still has a full HP, and still capable of battling.)
Heather Hamilton: Hah, I knew it. Even though your Starmie has an advantage against Poison-Type Moves, there's a way to pierce through its hard solid skin and what better way than to just Steel and Dark Type moves. (Heather explained. Misty, though looking serious, couldn't help but acknowledge how clever and productive the mean girl possessed and especially given when she first began on her journey.)
Misty: (Maybe I misjudged you. You may still have that popular mean girl attitude of yours, but you are definitely growing well in your journey Heather.) (Misty said in her mind, having developed a newfound respect for Heather.)
Misty: You may have gotten lucky so far, but like the latest fashion trends, they are gonna run out. Fast. Starmie, use Swift! (Misty said while phrasing.)
Misty's Starmie: (At once, Misty.) (Starmie said. Starmie fires Swift directly at Ekans, which took the damage. However, Ekans was still strong to continue. The frown on Heather's face turned into a small grin.)
Heather Hamilton: Hah! If Bushimori, Anne Maria and Daisuke were able to do it. Then so can I. (Heather said much to Misty, the three girls, Alejandro and Daisuke's confusion. However, Noah and Daisuke widen their eyes once they realized what Heather meant by saying that.)
Heather Hamilton: Ekans, use Poison Sting, but channel its energy into your mouth. (Heather instructed. Ekans nodded.)
Heather Hamilton's Ekans: (Understood!) (Ekans replied. Ekans summons a few Poison Stings, but convert them into energy surrounding her mouth, building it more. Misty gasped at what Heather is cooking up.)
Misty: Quick, Starmie! Rapid Spin! (Misty commanded. Starmie uses Rapid Spain again and spins toward their target.)
Heather Hamilton: Perfect. Now let's channel the energy from Bite with the exact same time as Poison Sting! (Heather commanded. Soon, Ekans channels the move and energies of Bite as it merges into the Poison Sting, reforming the Bite to be more shaper, but with twin serpent-like fangs on the upper jaw. The main color of the new Unifying Move was still black but possesses purple highlights with the end lines resembling hearts in halves.)
Noah Thomas: This- this can't be!? (A shocked Noah exclaimed.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Madre de Dios!? She's actually doing! (Alejandro said with the initial sentence in Spanish.)
Heather Hamilton: Now then. Ekans! Unify both Poison Sting and Bite! Let's give Starmie a sweet taste of… Poison Love! (Heather commanded. Hearing her Trainer's command, Ekans combined and stabilized both moves as they are a new Unifying Move, Poison Love. Starmie would've landed a hit, hadn't Ekans dodged it. And with one leaned step… Ekans lands an immense super effective hit on the pain screeching Starmie.)
Misty: Ah! Starmie! (Misty exclaimed. Starmie moved their second body, still possessing HP albeit in the red. Ekans tossed Starmie a few feet away. Starmie got up but looked a bit in pain.)
Misty: Uh, no! Starmie! (Misty exclaimed.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Wait! Starmie must have been poisoned from that Poison Love Unifying Move!? (Daisuke realized. Heather looks pleased by this.)
Heather Hamilton: Hmm, it seems I was right. Even Psychic Types can get poisoned. (Heather bragged.)
Heather Hamilton: Alright, I've had enough fun. Ekans. Unify Poison Sting and Bite again. (Heather commanded. Ekans nodded and channels both Poison Sting and Bite again but this time channeling enough energies to combine in perfect harmony.)
Misty: Oh no, you don't! Starmie! Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie charges up another Bubble Beam but couldn't complete it due to the poison inflicting them battle damage.)
Misty: Oh no! (Misty said sadly.)
Heather Hamilton: Finally! Ekans! Let's finish this battle! Use Poison Love! (Heather finished. After completing the preparations, Ekans lungs toward Starmie and reached them.)
Heather's Ekans: (Take don't this personal, but I'm in it to win, not to lose!) (Ekans hissed. Ekans lands a super effective, but decisive hit on the pain screeching Starmie, losing the last of their HP. Starmie land on their back and fainted.)
Cerulean Gym Referee: Starmie is unable to battle. Ekans wins. Which means… the victory of this battle goes to Heather Hamilton of Gatineau City! (The ref declared. Ekans hissed in victory, but to everyone's shock, not only did Heather approached and picked her up, but embraced her in a kind hug. She flashed a happy smile.)
Heather Hamilton: (Cheering proudly) Yes! We win! We win! I am so proud of you and Nidoran, Ekans. (Heather expressed her gratitude, much to a smiling Ekans's pleasure.)
Heather Hamilton's Ekans: (It was all for my pleasure to please you, my venomous lady.) (Ekans replied adding an honorific to Heather. Noah chuckled quietly.)
Noah Thomas: Geez from a threat to a cheerful softie. Oh I feel so threaten. (Noah said sarcastically before laughing. Off screen, Ekans fired a Poison Sting at Noah's exposed right wrist.)
Noah Thomas: Ouch! (Noah screamed before slowly fainting from the effect of the Poison Sting and his current low-level tolerance of Poison Type moves. Noah fell to the ground.)
Daisuke Umizawa: That's karma for ya. (Daisuke responded. Alejandro nodded with crossed arms. Afterwards, Heather was in front of Misty, both once distrusting of each other, but have developed fine respect for one another. They shook hands for the intensive battle.)
Misty: Heather! You have not only proven your strength, but the training, wisdom and bond between you and your Pokémon. I am proud to announce that you have earned this from the Cerulean Gym, the Cascade Badge! (Misty said all of that. Misty handed the Cascade Badger to Heather who received it and strikes a pose as she shows the badge in her hand posed straight to the screen.)

I must give Daisuke credit when he said that when a person like Heather, who was an antagonist since Total Drama began, would slowly become more heroic and considerate on an actual Pokémon journey.

Pink Hair Girl: And not only that, but using these, "Unifying Moves" were insanely magnificent! (The pink hair one expressed her excitement. Alejandro and Heather were confused by these three new young women. Daisuke and Noah widen their eyes, having the knowledge from the anime and recognize them. And Misty, with her eyes hidden, was sweating like crazy at the sight of them. Soon, the three women approached and embraced Misty in a group hug.)
Blond Hair Girl: Oh, Misty. We like missed you so much. We watch how you battle these Contestants, and we couldn't be so proud. (She expressed with pride and happiness.)
Blue Hair Girl: Yeah, at first, we were like worried you couldn't handle the pressure of being Gym Leader, but I'm never could be more happy at how wrong I was. (She added.)
Pink Hair Girl: Yeah, you rule baby sis! (The third added. The Contestant Trainers, except for Daisuke and Noah, were shocked upon hearing the word "sis")

Violet: Yeah. At first, I may have my doubts on her capabilities as a Gym Leader… (Misty looked huffing mad in a cute fashion.)
Violet: But I have never been so happy to be proven wrong. (Violet expressed. Misty was surprised that Violet said that.)
Lily: You were fabulous out there, Misty. Don't ever forget that. (Lily praised. Once that was done, Misty was between the four out of five remaining members of the Raging Gyarados and her triplet older sisters.)
Misty: I trust most of you probably know this, but if not. Daisy. Violet. Lily. I like you to meet four members of the Raging Gyarados that are on a journeying the Kanto region on a TV reality show known as Total Drama Pokémon. Alejandro Burromuerto. (Misty said, introducing the Pokémon Trainers of the Raging Gyarados.)

Misty: Noah Vicara Thomas. (Misty said. A nonchalant Noah gave the Sensational Sisters a peace sign.)
Noah Thomas: Yo. (Noah said dryly. Misty hugs a smiling Daisuke's arms, who was blushing at the sight of his equally blushing girlfriend.)
Misty: And this handsome Water-Type samurai here is my precious boyfriend, Daisuke Umizawa. (Misty finished while flashing pink dots on her cheeks. Daisy leans forward with a serious glance at a blank staring Daisuke. After what felt eternity, Daisy relaxed and smiles.)
Daisy: Okay, he's good. You sure find yourself such a man, Misty. (Daisy exclaimed, much to said sister's embarrassing gasping. Daisuke hums sheepishly.)
Lily: Okay, okay. I did we like, teased our sister and her friends for today. Let's focus back to why we are back. (Lily said, snapping both Daisy and Misty back.)
Misty: Oh, that's right! Why are you three back all of a sudden? I thought you were at the capital taking on several movie roles and singing concerts? (Misty asked.)
Violet: Oh, the movie production of "Goldeen Mermaid Kingdom" is finished last month. (Violet replied.)
Lily: And let's not forget, our last concert was the biggest hit two weeks ago. After that, we were contacted by a TV host named Chris McLean who told us of Total Drama Pokémon, the contestants that are now New Trainers, and the two teams who are traveling around Kanto. We took a planet ride back to Kanto and here we are. (Lily explained all of that.)
Daisy: Cause, we are currently gonna do an underwater ballet with Total Drama Pokémon on a story of my own creation called "The Mermaid Princess and the Hero Prince." Starting Misty as the mermaid princess Aqua. (Daisy revealed. Misty gasped in shock.)
Misty: Wait! Me! (Misty said in disbelief.)
Violet: Yeah, sis! You are so perfect for the part. You're super cute, super elegant and the most hardworking person- (Misty wasn't convince, knowing her sisters most of her life. A red and flaming background was behind Misty who had a scowl.)
Misty: You do realize you're only saying those words just to kiss me up into being in the play. (Misty anticipated. All three Sensational Sisters gasped in surprise before they began to hysterically beg to persuade their sister on their knees.)
Daisy, Violet, & Lily: OH, PLEASE! Please Misty! We need you to make this play a success for Cerulean. (Daisy) We can't do it without one of the main roles of the mermaid princess. (Violet) We need you and your contestant friends' help as well as a collaboration between of the Pokémon League and Total Drama Pokémon. Not to Mention… (Lily) IT'S INTERDIMENSIONAL! Both worlds will be watching this play on live! PLEASE, MISTY! PRETTY PLEASE! (They begged simultaneously. Despite her best resistance, Misty couldn't fight back knowing how desperate they are and how they want to know the world where her interdimensional friends came from, more about Pokémon when what they did from their video games. Misty sighed.)
Misty: Alright. Alright. I'll do it. (Misty answered. The three sisters cheers in victory. However, Most of the Raging Gyarados also saw the snickering Violet and Lily at having to "persuade" their younger sister while Daisy sighed at their mischievous expression.)
Heather Hamilton: Hey, Sensational Dimwits, minus you Misty. Don't think we forgot what you said. (Heather barked. Lily huffs angrily at the insult thrown at her. And the fact that she excluded Misty as a dimwit, kinda made Misty relieved and touched that Heather stood up for her. Violet had an angrily comical expression.)
Violet: What did you just called US! (Violet barked back.)
Heather Hamilton: You hear me, ya big headed plum! (Heather insulted.)
Violet: Coming from a shallow headed poser, you're nothing but barks and no bite. (Violet insulted back.)

Noah Thomas's Abra: (Why human women would attack each other?) (Abra asked.)
Noah Thomas's Ivysaur: (Hmm, usually because of how they love the same man or simply because of how much their opposing personalities enables them to argue so much it leads to a mass confrontation. From what Noah told me, it was used as early as the year 1854 of his world to describe Mormon women fighting over their shared husband.)
Noah Thomas's Abra: (Hmm, I don't understand the content of love just yet, but it sounds to me that some human women need to battle to relief themselves of their constant fighting until they eventually make peace. It's not perfect for both parties, but it is not unachievable to turn conflicts into friendships.) (Abra said, analyzing the meaning of catfights or Meowth fights as best as he can. Ivysaur hums kindly as he brought out a vine and rubs the young Psi Pokémon's head.)
Noah Thomas's Ivysaur: (You may still be young to understand certain topics, I'm still amazed how fast you comprehend such terms and see the brighter side of it in the grand scheme of it.) (Ivysaur praised.)
Noah Thomas's Abra: (Giggles happily) (Hmm? Still… what are Mormons?) (Abra asked now. Ivysaur and Noah widen their eyes, uncomfortable to tell Abra the concept just yet.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Thankfully, Alejandro and Lily were able to separate Heather and Violet, but not without difficulties. Fresh TV and Pokémon League staff were getting everything set up. Misty, Noah, and Daisuke were talking to Daisy.)
Misty: So, when will this play began. (Misty asked.)
Daisy: Tomorrow. (Daisy answered. Misty was shocked by this.)
Misty: Tomorrow!? (Misty shrieked.)
Noah Thomas: Oh, great. Just as I thought. Just more work to be piling up for us. And no rewards. (Noah complained. Daisuke blocks Noah's mouth from throwing more remarks or unnecessary words.)
Daisuke Umizawa: What Noah meant to say is… How does this involve us as Contestants? (Daisuke asked.)
Daisy: Actually, this is also a sub-challenge, but with special rewards. The first ones being to give the Gyarados who are participating a single PC Box each. (Daisy explained. This peeked the other Raging Gyarados Trainers' attention.)
Lily: Not to mention, being in the play may open more opportunities for you guys to, like, get more acting roles in the future. (Lily added. Alejandro, Noah and Heather bulged their eyes with stars on them at the thrilling chance at stardom. Heather was the first snap out of it.)
Heather Hamilton: We are gonna help them make this play a success! (A serious Heather declared.)
Daisuke Umizawa: You sure? I mean this is out of blue, so to speak. We have only one day to get ready for tomorrow. (Daisuke said, not out of doubt but to make sure everyone can help and work together.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Which is good enough for our team. (Every Trainer in the room turned to see entering the main battlefield was Kayoko Ashioku, refreshed and well-rested. Heather was comical sweating bullets at the sight of her ally/ "friend." Daisy, Violet and Lily were confused by the sight of Kayoko, while Misty was nerved from watching her style in the elimination battle.)
Violet: And who are you? (Violet asked. Instead the cold, emotionless stare she gave off last night, her face was filled with a kind smile.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Please pardon my rudeness, Mistresses Sensational Sisters. I am Kayoko Ashioku, the fifth and last member of the Raging Gyarados. (Kayoko said, introducing herself. The rest of her teammates rose a brow wondering why she didn't mentioned Anne Maria. Despite their initial conflicts with the New Jersey tanned girl, even she didn't deserve watching her Pokémon get brutalized the way Kayoko did.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Actually, there was a sixth member, but… due to being selected in the elimination battle, I had no other choice but defeated her which resulted in her elimination. The last time I saw was leaving the team and go off on her own. She felt she didn't have to be a burden to us. (Kayoko half-lied. Whether or not she had a part in Anne Maria's departure, it was also true. The last time they met, Kayoko was entering the Pokémon Center having returned from her exile and as both girls were walking off on opposite sides. Kayoko didn't say anything, but frowns, while a frowning Anne Maria was shaking in fear and left the Pokémon Center. Kayoko enters on the challenger's side.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Cerulean Gym Leader Misty! I am here not only as part of my challenge in Total Drama Pokémon, but as a Pokémon Trainer who challenges you into a Gym Battle. (Kayoko said. Despite her past personality and above fierce battle style, as Gym Leader, Misty nodded, accepting the challenge.)
Misty: Very well. As the Leader of the Cerulean Gym, I accept your challenge! (A serious Misty stated.)
[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Currently at their makeshift camp were Ezekiel, Tatsumi and Natsuko. Cody, Akina and Sosuke were heading to the nearby Pokémon Center for supplies and provisions. Charmander was still on top of the rock, with Growlithe and Vulpix still guarding him, but were laxed having to slowly built trust between them and the Braving Charizard. Soon a clash of Slashes were exchanged between Dracoza and Ezekiel's Charmeleon, which he decided to nickname Lodern, during their training. CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! This training battle was so intense yet remarkable at the display of power and skill. Growlithe and Vulpix were slightly surprised by the level of both Flame Pokémon. Charmander, on the other hand, was amazed at the strength of its first stage counterparts possess. Charmander gasped in amazement. Soon, both Dracoza and Lodern were at a stalemate by claw. Unlike during their Gym Battles, both Charmeleon were smirking proudly at the resistance they're putting up.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (Ha. Ha. You've definitely gotten stronger, eh. I've seen how much work you put in ever since your evolution.) (Lodern compliments.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmeleon): (I am flattered by the compliment, Lodern. However, don't get it into your head that you could beat me in combat!) (Dracoza counters.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (Wasn't counting on it, eh!) (Lodern replied. The two Charmeleon resume their training. Meanwhile, Natsuko was cooking up a classic beef stew on the campfire. After stirring the pot with enough time, Natsuko pulled a portion up and used a spoon to get a taste test. SIPPING. CHEWING. SHALLOW. Natsuko was silent before she smiles comically followed by the sensational feeling of her cooking skills.)
Natsuko Bushimori: (Still got it.) (Natsuko thought. Soon, she heard a crash as Lodern was the one down on his back while Dracoza was smirking proudly.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmeleon): (It is clear that you still have room to improve.) (A serious Dracoza stated. A serious staring Lodern said nothing until Dracoza offers him a helping claw. Despite the silence, A small smiling Lodern took the offered hand and got back up. Afterwards, they released their clawed hands as Tatsumi and Ezekiel can face to face, they let a smile creep up on their faces and shook hands in respect of their battle.)
Tatsumi Akeito: You have grown to be better at anticipating and strategizing on your battle style than just ordering your Pokémon team to brute force their opponents. (Tatsumi commented. Ezekiel scratched the back of his head.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Well… I'm glad you told me how good I've been getting, but still… it goes to show me that I still have a lot to learn. (Ezekiel admits humbly.)
[Confessional – Bedroom Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(Inside her confessional, a blushing Natsuko, with her arms crossed, was smiling at how much Ezekiel was developing both in his Pokémon's training, and his learning capabilities.)
Natsuko Bushimori: What? I… I can't help but be proud of how much Ezekiel has come since his time. And he has been truly modest. (Sighed lovingly) (She turned to see the cam still online, much to her gasping mild surprise.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Well, that is just an opinion I have for him as a teammate in the same sub-team. I am merely stating what needed to be said. I don't care how brighten and innocent his brown eyes represented are. Or how much flexible or enhanced his senses have become. Or… or… how beautiful his brown hair shines when the sun beams it and it slightly change the color from the soil ground to a bountiful harvest of golden grain. (Natsuko commented while blushing in a loving state. Natsuko sighs lovingly while a Poké Ball brought out her Bellsprout, which she named Koushou/Kosho. Seeing the lovestruck samurai Trainer he knew had fallen in a trance, Kosho managed to jump to her left shoulder and slaps right cheek, snapping her back to reality.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Ouch! (Natsuko rubs her slight bruised cheek but was thankful of her Flower Pokémon.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Oh, no. I did it again, didn't I. I thank you for being my daydream alarm, Kosho. You have my thanks. (Natsuko said while thanking Kosho. Kosho blushed in gratitude of his Trainer/lady.)
Kosho (Natsuko Bushimori's Bellsprout): (The honor was mine to help you regain focus on the matter.) (Kosho replied.)

[Braving Charizard Camp, Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Once the stew was ready, Natsuko rings her triangle, catching her teammates and the Pokémon's attention.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Akeito! Ezekiel! Time to take a break from training. Besides, I believe it's time they enjoy to have some Pokémon food to fill up their bellies. (Natsuko yelled. Both Tatsumi and Ezekiel nodded in agreement. A few minutes later, switching from the gray sky and semi-black clouds to the campsite of Natsuko, Tatsumi and Ezekiel enjoying their stews, with Ezekiel eating at a rapid pace.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Slow down, Ezekiel. The food isn't going anywhere, and we need to save some for Cody, Akina and Ben. (Natsuko asked nicely. Ezekiel heeded her request and ate his portion in a calm and regular pace.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Sorry, Natsuko. It's been so long since I had warmth meals like this in the outdoors. Two years to be exact, eh. (Ezekiel explained. Natsuko couldn't help but smiled at how long Ezekiel survived on little scraps of food during those years. She grabbed her ladle and gave Ezekiel more on his bowl.)
Natsuko Bushimori: Just this once… you can have seconds. (Natsuko said. Ezekiel blushed like crazy at the kind gesture and concerns the Purple Hair Samurai Princess has shown him. Along with them were their entire Pokémon teams eating their Pokémon food that Natsuko and Tatsumi prepares, albeit in a competitive way. Though Dracoza were uncomfortably eating their mistress's cooking in their Pokémon food, they were stomaching, although Obsidian was the only one enjoying them. Lodern and Dracoza finished their Pokémon Food but are approached by Ezekiel who brought three bowls of Pokémon Food, customized by him using special spices and a little teaspoon of sugar.)
[Confessional – Outhouse Mode]
[Futuristic Click]
(In his confessional, Ezekiel smiles sheepishly. Raticate was by his side.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: I notice Growlithe, Vulpix and Charmander didn't have anything to eat. And I wasn't the only one. Natsuko and Tatsumi were fired up to make their dishes, but after I finished my seconds, I decided to pull my weight and do it myself. I added some Rawst and Leppa Berries for Growlithe, Figy and Aspear for Vulpix and Oran, Razz and Pinap for Charmander. (Ezekiel explained all of that. Even Raticate was amazed by the preparations and quality tastes he put in the Pokémon Food.)
Ezekiel Landwirt's Raticate: (I must admit, you have such power of analysis to prepare such meals for Pokémon, Ezekiel.) (Raticate exclaimed.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: Well, day in the farm at home, my ma taught me everything about agriculture and what kind of food each of our barn animals need to stay healthy and strong. I basically apply all that I learned into making those Pokémon food to have good quality taste and it has the nutrients they need. (Ezekiel said.)
[Futuristic Click]
[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Back to the three wild Fire Types, Growlithe and Vulpix were approached by Dracoza with the two bowls of Pokémon Food.)
Dracoza (Tatsumi Akeito's Charmeleon): (Forgive my intrusions. But I have brought you some Pokémon Food, courtesy of Master Ezekiel Landwirt.) (Dracoza said as she placed the two bowls to Growlithe and Vulpix customized made for the respective Pokémon. After a few sniffs, they took a few bites of it, but noticing how tasty it was for them, they began to chow down on them. On top of the rock, Lodern climbed up with ease and came face to its pre-evolved kin.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Akeito's Charmeleon): (Hi kid! I brought ya some food, eh.) (Lodern greeted with his Trainer's signature word. Lodern placed the bowl before Charmander. At first, he didn't want it, but after a few growls from his stomach Charmander slowly eats his Pokémon Food. At first, he thought it was a trick, but having the taste of Oran, Razz and Pinap with fresh spices and sugar into his taste buds. Lodern looked hard at finding the right words to tell. Almost done with his bowl, Charmander looked the frustrated look on Lodern.)
Wild Charmander: (Hey Charmeleon? Are you alright?) (Charmander asked.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (Ah, it's nothing to worry about me. Also, I go by Lodern now.) (Lodern said.)
Wild Charmander: (Okay, Lodern. But I repeat, are you alright?) (Charmander asked again.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (I'm fine, but I just… I don't like it how you are so loyal and kind, but your trainer isn't.) (Lodern asked.)
Wild Charmander: (Well, Jacob did say he was gonna come back to pick me up.) (Charmander answered.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (And what kind of person Jacob is, eh?) (Lodern asked. Charmander looked trouble into answering it.)
Wild Charmander: (If I'm being honest, he practically uses me to wear down Pokémon stronger than me, berates me whenever I lost to a Pokémon equally or weaker than me. He barely feeds us whenever I get too tired from training or battling. And even when I did win a battle, he barely gave me thanks or compliment me. (If so, why? Why am I…?)) (Lodern could barely contain the rage he has built up from listening of how heartless this Jacob was. Lodern huffs a few times to avoid hit a portion of the rock in half.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (You are truly loyal and noble for a Pokémon. Too good for a trainer like Jacob.) (Lodern stated. Once Charmander finished his meal and Lodern grabbed the bowl.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (You know, I ain't very bright. I'm brawns than I am of brains. Ezekiel believes he is no wise man, but I like to think so. While I am glad to have been received to him as his Starter, I can't stand it when other Pokémon are suffering abuse from those so-called humans.) (Lodern said. Charmander was speechless that a self-proclaim brute Flame Pokémon was speaking so wise.)
Lodern (Ezekiel Landwirt's Charmeleon): (I'm not telling to disobey or distrust all trainers, but…. If Jacob truly cares about you, then why hasn't he come back already?) (Lodern asked. Charmander was surprised as Charmeleon climbs down. Charmander was left alone to his thought regarding Jacob. Back on the ground, both a serious staring Natsuko and Tatsumi were staring hard at the graying sky.)
Tatsumi & Natsuko: (I sense a storm coming.) (They thought simultaneously.)
[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Back to the Raging Gyarados, the result of the Gym Battle between Kayoko and Misty ended with Kayoko winning on her first try using both Bellsprout and Oddish in a switch strategy which worked in her gamble. Right now, Misty and the Raging Gyarados were rehearsing their lines for tomorrow's play. Alejandro and Noah got the roles of the pirate captain and first mate respectively. The pirate captain was known as Green Eyes Jacinto who was the main antagonist of the play who wanted the Mermaid Princess Aqua as a tool to conquer her undersea kingdom of mermaids and to rule over the entire seas. Heather got the role of the mermaid queen Ursa who is antagonistic to her sister Aqua's curiosity with the surface at first but changes her views upon seeing Aqua meeting and being saved by the Hero Prince, who is the male protagonist of the play. Currently Violet and Lily clash prop cutlasses much to their baby sister Misty's astonishment.)
Violet: Once the first part is done, you will wake up and encounter us, pirate minions under Captain Green Eyes Jacinto, who will be sword fighting on who gets credit for your capture. (Violet explains.)
Lily: Yeah, and that is after we caught you in a fishing net, threatening you to be quiet or we would cut off your tail. (Lily added. Misty gulped in disgust at that. Thankfully it is just a play. Kayoko was reading her lines as she was an admiral serving under the Hero Prince who is gonna claim the throne upon his 21st Birthday.)
Misty: You aren't serious gonna cut-
Violet: What!? Of course not. We may be dramatic, but we're not crazy. (Violet assures Misty before she covered her left side.)
Violet: Well, except maybe that Heather girl? (Violet whispered. However, Heather heard that as she startled Violet and the others by her sudden arrival.)
Heather Hamilton: I heard that! (An irritated Heather replied.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Ah, question? What exactly is my role in the play? (Daisuke asked. Violet and Lily paused and were in a tough train of thought.)
Lily: Actually, we haven't, like, decided on it yet. (Lily admits.)
Violet: Well, we have Daisy working on admissions for tomorrow. We originally wanted her to be the Hero Prince and you a Navy Captain from the West. (Violet added.)
Daisy: But I figured since Misty and I are sisters, it could be so awkward. (Daisy stated.)
Lily: Not to mention, seeing Misty kiss someone else, could stir up a lot of jealous rage in Daisuke boy here. Okay. (Lily teases.)
Violet: Yeah, and to see two high rank officers of different opposite sex could've make our baby sis fume with jealously. (Violet added. This cause Misty and Daisuke to blush madly.)
Daisuke & Misty: No, we wouldn't! (They yelled in unison, much to their and the rest of the others' surprise.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I mean, it's not like it would be a random guy or anything, but…
Misty: The sight of someone holding arms or kissing the man I love on the lips…
Daisuke & Misty: It's so unbearable watching it! (They finished in unison. This got on Heather's nerves.)
Heather Hamilton: Can you two please not be that kind of couple. (Heather asked in the less meanest yet hardest tone she mustered. Both Daisuke and Misty were oblivious to what Heather was indicating.)
Misty: What do you mean by that, Heather? (Misty asked.)
Heather Hamilton: You know the whole starting, ending and talking in sync of each other's sentences. (Heather explained.)
Misty: You mean…
Daisuke Umizawa: We've been…
Misty: Finishing…
Daisuke Umizawa: Each other's…
Daisuke & Misty: Sentences! (They finished again in unison. This time they heard it.)
Noah Thomas: Really? You both have become that kind of couple. (Noah stated. Daisuke and Misty were blushing in awkward, but undeniable for their feelings to each other.)
Misty: Well, when you put it that way…
Daisuke Umizawa: I guess we can't deny…
Daisuke & Misty: OUR LOVE. (They did it again. Once they laughed, the others joined in their laughter of joy.)
[Cerulean City – Kanto]
(While the others were having a good laugh and preparing for the play, a drone spy was eavesdropping on them from the other side of the glass windows of the gym, but with the primary color being black and stale, but with a red R, which was the Team Rocket logo.)
Daisy (Monitor): Well, I am happy to announce that Daisuke will take the part of the Hero Prince while I will be the General of the West. (Daisy said. They were being monitored by three Team Rocket grunts with the 27-year-old woman being the captain of their new operation.)
Violet (Monitor): Well, I can't wait for tomorrow's play. We need to make sure our marine Water-Type Pokémon will be good and ready for it. Not to mentioned that Seel will play the part of your Partner Pokémon. (Violet said. Lily claps her hands.)
Lily (Monitor): Okay! Let's get back to rehearsal. We have a big day ahead of us. (Lily finished. Back to the Team Rocket Grunts.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Hmm, it seems the original Gym Leaders are having a water ballet play tomorrow in the gym. (The first grunt informs. The second grunt, a female operative, smirks cunningly.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt #1: Not only that, but they will be using all the Water-Type Pokémon, including the rare ones. (She added.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt #1: How do you wish to precise, captain. (She asked.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Ma'am. With due respects, are you sure you want to start it tomorrow? (He asked, being skeptical.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: Why? If you have some doubts, let them be known now. (The female captain replied.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Yes, ma'am. As we have been briefed by the boss, the Mt. Moon Operation was foiled due to the interventions of New Trainers from another world. While they are competing in a reality TV competition, they have proven themselves to be formidable enemies in defeating all the operatives under Captain Fukidashi. (He reported to his superior.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt #1: Technically, it wasn't all twelve of them. They have spilt in half. The ones who ruined our Mt. Moon Operation were calling themselves the Braving Charizard. However, the other half, the Raging Gyarados, had their sixth member eliminated from the competition and there has not been any sights of her remaining in the city. (Female Grunt turns to the Grunt #1) You shouldn't be worried over trivial matters, especially on a couple of Beginner Trainers. (She said all of that.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: If you had watch any of the episodes on television you would know that most aren't novices when it comes to Pokémon battles. They're from a different world where they believed we were fictional as they played games based on our world. If we underestimate them, we could all be defeated and captured by the authorities. (He counters.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt #1: You give these reality TV contestants too much credit. Their "experience" are from video games. In our eyes they are nothing more than a bunch of untested greenhorns. We have more and powerful Pokémon on our side. (She remarked.)
Team Rocket Grunts: Captain! (They yelled before their squad captain raised her arm, silencing them both.)
Team Rocket Grunt Captain: I have made up my mind. Tomorrow, we will infiltrate the Cerulean Gym and take all the Pokémon that reside within. That is my command! No objections! (She declared. Both grunts nodded.)
Team Rocket Grunts: Of course. At your command Captain Kayaku! (They answered simultaneously.)
[Pokémon Center, Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Having made it to the Pokémon Center, not only did they get their current team of Pokémon healed up, but Ben deposits Sniperbee and Boompire in his PC Box 1. Not only that but he renames Eaglewing and gave him a better name, which was….)
Cody Anderson: Hatowashi!? (Cody asked in astonishment.)
Ben Jutsuku: Well, yeah. I mean, in a sense, Pidgeotto is part pigeon and part eagle. He is gentle and elegant like a pigeon but fierce, loyal and daring like an eagle. Not bad right? (Ben asked. Somehow, Cody and Akina found nothing wrong with the new nickname.)
Cody Anderson: I gotta admit, it does sound kinda cool. (Cody stated.)
Akina Sakata: Also, why did you put Kaku- I mean Sniperbee and Boompire back in your PC Box? (Akina asked.)
Ben Jutsuku: Well, you can never be too certain you will not find new Pokémon to catch. Plus, I like to think that the newest Pokémon to add in your team, the more superpowers you acquire. (Ben explained.)
Cody Anderson: Just remember that they're still living creatures. Not some tool or video game items, hero. (Cody said while teasing a bit. Ben smiles sheepishly.)

[Pokémon Center, Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Soon all three Braving Charizard pause as they heard chattering at a table nearby them. It had four teenagers with the fourth one being a Pokémon Trainer having a sash carrying dozens of Poké Balls. His name is Jacob, he has green-blue curly hair and purple eyes, wearing sunglasses on his hair, a brown vest, pink shirt, black pants and white boots.)
?: Wow, Jacob. You have quite the collection of Pokémon. (A teenage boy said.)
?: Yeah! You're probably the best Pokémon Trainer there is. (Another stated.)
Jacob: Not less for the best Trainer than to have the best of the best Pokémon there are. I tell ya, I have a lot of powerful Pokémon in my arsenal. (Jacob brags arrogantly. As he and his three friends were laughing, Cody, Akina and Ben were staring annoyingly at how shameless and overbearing he is.)
Ben Jutsuku: You know what, much as I want to tell them off. It ain't worth it. (Ben said.)
Cody Anderson: Yeah! But can you believe the nerve of this guy? Boasting his Pokémon as if they were trophies. (Cody added. Akina nodded, as they turned for the doors.)
?: Say Jacob. What do you do with the Pokémon that was so embarrassingly weak? (The third asked. Jacob closed his eyes as he smugly spoke.)
Jacob: Oh, please. I don't have time for weak Pokémon who won't win me more victories. Like this Charmander I owned- (Upon hearing that name, the three paused and decided to hear the rest.)
Jacob: Every time I sent it out, it would lose every single time. No matter how much I train it, he can't get any stronger. He's so pathetic and annoying that I regret ever adding such a weakling on my team. (Jacob insults his old Charmander. The rest of his friends laughs cruelly at the mention of Charmander, much to the boiling rage of Cody, Ben and Akina.)
Jacob: Afterwards, I decided enough is enough. So I got rid of it. (Jacob said without any guilt.)
?: So how did you do it? (The first one asked.)
Jacob: Easy. I told it to stay on top of a rock and that I would come back for it later. (Jacob replied. That's when the gasping Cody, Akina and Ben realized… the arrogant boy was none other than Charmander's original Trainer.)
Jacob: (Laughing cruelly) Can you believe how gullible that Charmander is? He believed that I would come back for it like some kind of parent. Please… the world would be better without that sorry excuse for a Pokémon. (Jacob remarked remorselessly. That was the last straw! An infuriated Cody and Ben couldn't take it anymore. An enraged Akina never truly hated anyone, but encountering Jacob, he became her very first. In an impressive speed, Ben and Cody approached the confused trainer and the trio of teens.)
Jacob: Who are you, two? What do you want? (Jacob replied rudely.)
Ben Jutsuku: You know that Charmander you've been badmouthing, my friends and I met Charmander on our way here. (Ben told him.)
Jacob: So? (Jacob replied emotionlessly.)
Cody Anderson: So? (Cody repeated.)
Cody Anderson: You should you go back for him. Charmander isn't some tool you can break and throw away, he's a living creature, you jerk! (Cody commented while insulting him. Jacob stared madly at Cody and Ben.)
Teenage Punk #1: Hey man. Do you have any idea who you're talking to? (He barked.)
Ben Jutsuku: Actual we do. You bark dogs practically shouted it out to the rest of the world. (Ben stated while exasperating it at the same time. The three punks couldn't help but got insulted thrown to them by Ben, the Green Hero Trainer.)
Teenage Punk #2: Well you gonna wish you didn't 'cause Jacob is one of the greatest Pokémon Trainers in the world. (He commented. However, it didn't faze Cody and Ben.)
Teenage Punk #3: Yeah, he can take down any Trainer that comes his way. (He bragged.)
Akina Sakata: Maybe so and maybe not. It doesn't excuse him to leave Pokémon behind and lying to them about coming back. (Akina counters.)
Cody Anderson: She's right. Do you know what your Charmander is doing right now? He's still on top of that rock, freezing and staving himself, hoping that you would come back to get him! (Cody lectured strictly. Jacob carelessly wasn't moved by this.)
Jacob: And why should I care? That Charmander ain't mine anymore. (Jacob replied. Cody fumes at how heartless Jacob is.)
Ben Jutsuku: How can you just sit there and badmouth your Charmander like its nothing!? (Ben yelled.)
Jacob: Oh, please. Spare me the moral lesson! I ain't got time to waste on weak Pokémon who won't get me victories. And I repeat, it ain't mine anymore. I could care less if it lives or dies. (Jacob replied. Reaching to the boiling point, Cody brought out a Poké Ball, readying to battle.)
Cody Anderson: THAT'S IT! I AIN'T GONNA STAND HERE AND LET YA TALK TRASH AT CHARMANDER! (Cody demands. Jacob arrogantly got up as he faces toward the Cool Geek Trainer.)
Jacob: Oh? Is that a challenge, geek? (Jacob dared. Both Cody and Jacob were staring off, readying to brought out a Pokémon.)
Nurse Joy: Stop right there! (Both Trainers and their respective friends turned to see an upset Nurse Joy.)
Nurse Joy: Resolving an argument using Pokémon is strictly prohibited. Pokémon are tools or weapons to be used for selfish and discriminating purpose. It misrepresents both the Pokémon and reflects badly for their Trainers. (Nurse Joy scolded. Jacob scoffs.)
Jacob: Whatever. If you're that concern for that weak Charmander, then you can have it. (Jacob said. Jacob and his friends left the three Braving Charizard's sights. Cody, after taking a few breathers, calmed down and put the Poké Ball away.)
Cody Anderson: Sorry for causing a ruckus here, Nurse Joy. (Cody apologized. Nurse Joy calmed down as well.)
Nurse Joy: Of course. You three should stay clear away from those four. I've heard that they are bad news. Only caring Pokémon with immediate power while discarding the potential in weaker ones. That is not how a Pokémon Trainer should be by neglecting and abusing their responsibilities. (Nurse Joy explained, while accepting the apology. The doors opened. However, the person was a wet and semi-exhausted Ezekiel. This surprise Cody, Ben and Akina.)
Cody Anderson: Zeke? (Cody exclaimed in confusion.)
Akina Sakata: What's going on back at camp? (Akina asked in concern.)
Ben Jutsuku: And why are you so wet unless… (Gasped) Unless…! (Ezekiel nodded with a serious stare.)
Ezekiel Landwirt: I rush all the 3 miles here because… our campsite was hit by a sudden rainstorm! (Ezekiel reported, much to the rest of the teammates' gasping shock.)

Akina Sakata: This is bad. Oh, this is very bad. Growlithe, Vulpix and that Charmander are all Fire Types. They get weaken by rain which cuts their stats drastically in half. (Akina stated.)
Charcha (Akina Sakata's Charmander): (But at the least for Growlithe and Vulpix. However, it will be worser for that cut- I meant poor Charmander. Our flames represent our very life forces. If his get extinguished… He'll… (Sob) He'll…...!? (Sobbing) (Charcha began to cried while being comforted by Akina, her Trainer.)

[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(While the four Braving Charizard were racing as fast as they can back to the campsite, currently a rain was occurring. Tatsumi and Natsuko were nowhere to be seem but were collecting more berries and longer leaves to cover the wild Fire-Type Pokémon. Thankfully Growlithe and Vulpix were safe inside one of the tents that were set up. Unfortunately the same was not said for Charmander, who stubbornly refuse to get in. Not only due to the fact the flame on his tail would've set the tent on flame by accident and the only way he was preserving his flame was the large leaf he was using to cover it from the falling waterdrops. Watching their Lizard Pokémon waiting patiently for his (former) Trainer's return was very admirable and a great display of determination and loyalty. It saddens Growlithe and Vulpix greatly wanting the young Pokémon to suffer in the rain, but also hated their former Trainer Jacob so much, who was content to leave him alone to die. It was gonna get worse. ROWW! SPEAR! ROWW! Both Growlithe and Vulpix widen in surprise as a flock of wild Spearow appeared.)
Wild Alpha Spearow: (Well, look what we got here?) (The alpha commented.)
Wild Spearow #1: (It looks like a Charmander, boss?) (One of its Spearow stated.)
Wild Alpha Spearow: (Yeah, but I won't be able to enjoy this rain shower with that weak Pokémon sitting on my rock.) (the Alpha Spearow suggested. Soon the rest of the flock understood what their leader was talking about. Soon the alpha and the rest of the flock dived down toward Charmander. All but one Spearow who looked sadden by the rash and unreasonable choice his flock made. Scene switched to a pair of returning Tatsumi and Natsuko with their own umbrellas and new supplies to help Charmander. Seemingly unknown to them, a raincoat covered girl was following them, carrying her magenta bag.)
Natsuko Bushimori: You know, I'm truly glad this is the real Pokémon World and not a video game. The town we passed by five miles had gears for the rain seasons that happen around this route. (Natsuko exclaimed.)
Tatsumi Akeito: I heard you, Natsuko. And I couldn't agree more. (Tatsumi replied. She was carrying a bag that had a white frosted vanilla cake, but with strawberries. A comical smiling Tatsumi raised it up in front of her chest.)
Tatsumi Akeito: And who would've thought they also had one of my favorite desserts of all! (A happy Tatsumi revealed ecstatically. Natsuko hums kindly at her fellow swordswoman and friend's childish reaction due to her love for strawberries and cakes. However, that ended quickly, as he were shocked watching Charmander being harassed/attacked by the flock of wild Spearow. It was a struggle for Charmander to retaliate while keeping his flame keep from the rain. However, it didn't stop an enraged Growlithe and Vulpix to step out of their tent and engaged the intruding Tiny Bird Pokémon flock. Growlithe fired Ember at a nearby Spearow, which took some damage but didn't faint. That Spearow turned its enraged attention to the ground where Growlithe and Vulpix are. Growlithe growls angrily.)
Wild Growlithe: (Hey! Leave Charmander alone, you sharp beaks!) (Growlithe demanded.)
Wild Spearow #2: (Big bark coming from a little puppy who's weaker in a rain.) (The second Spearow taunted. While some Spearow were having a good sad chuckle. Growlithe build up a lot of air in his mouth.)
Wild Growlithe: (RAGGHHHHHH!) (Growlithe roared very powerfully. Vulpix secretly blushed at how much stronger Growlithe has gotten. It was Growlithe's move Roar! Which frighten four Spearow away. The second one would've gone away if the alpha didn't block him.)
Wild Alpha Spearow: (Where do you think you're going, it's just a bunch of canine Pokémon resorting to barks because they know they are weak in this rain.) (The alpha scolded its subordinate. Getting over their fear, half of the flock dive off to attack Growlithe and Vulpix while the other half resume their attack on the weaken Charmander.)
Cody & Akina: Use Thunderbolt! Attack those aggressive Spearow! (Cody and Akina yelled. A pair of Thunderbolts were fired and dealt a lot of super effective damage to a dozen Spearow that fainted, courtesy of Pikachu and Rika. Cody, Akina, Ben and Ezekiel were wearing a red, blue, green and light green raincoats. They finally made it back as the Spearow flock were running low morale. An injured Charmander was barely conscious but saw a silhouette of a person approaching. Charmander narrows his eyes, initially believing it to be his Trainer, fulfilling his promise.)
Charmander: (Ja- Jacob… You're…. back.?) (Charmander mustered. However, once his sight was normal, it wasn't Jacob who finally returned, but Cody. Cody approached Charmander.)
Cody Anderson: Charmander! I'm so sorry it took us so long to get back. But I'm here. (Cody said, reassuring the Lizard Pokémon. Charmander was surprised but touched by the Cool Geek Trainer's selfless and kind act of fulfilling that promise Jacob broke. Another Spearow approached for Charmander, but Cody grabbed it by the feet.)
Cody Anderson: Hey! Beat it you mean spirited Rattata with wings! (An angry Cody yelled before spinning and throwing it toward the ground. The wild Spearow got back up but got enraged as a result. It would've counteracted hadn't…. CHU! A Thunderbolt landed a super effective blow at it. Cody's Pikachu was the one who used the Thunderbolt, evidenced by the electrical sparks emanating from his red cheeks.)
Cody Anderson's Pikachu: (That was for attacking Charmander.) (A serious Pikachu stated.)

(In Akina's confessional, Rika was sitting on the closed toilet seat.)
Rika (Akina Sakata's Pikachu): (Sigh lovingly) (There's something about making a dramatic entrance and truly having a gift to be a daring and handsome Pokémon. And Pikachu is definitely the most boyfriend a female Pikachu could ever ask for. (Giggling happily)
[Futuristic Click]
[Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(Another wild Spearow spotted a preoccupied Akina watching Tatsumi and Vulpix fighting together and the same with Ben and Growlithe. Looking vengeful at the sight of its flock getting beaten. This wild Spearow uses Aerial Ace aiming to attack Akina by the blind spot.)
[?]: Look out, Redhead! (A voice yelled out. The cloaked Trainer pushed Akina, with Rika held in her arms, away, but…. SMACK! She got hit instead by the shockingly, disappointed Spearow.)
[?]: RAGHH! (She yelled painfully. She fell to the ground. However, one of her Poké Ball opened and a Jigglypuff came out. She turned and was shocked to see her injured Trainer before she turned and huffs angrily at the Spearow responsible.)
[?]: R…Roll….out. (She mustered before losing consciousness. Nodding, Jigglypuff's Rollout shockingly reached and lands a direct blow at the dumfound Spearow, instantly fainting. Akina was shocked but amazed by this stranger's selfless act. Noticing the act, were Tatsumi, Vulpix and Natsuko turning around.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Akina! (Tatsumi yelled. The three regroup with Akina and Rika.)
Wild Vulpix: (What happened?) (Vulpix asked Rika.)
Rika (Akina's Pikachu): (There was a Spearow that use Aerial Ace. It was gonna attack Akina, but that stranger took the hit instead and had her Jigglypuff use Rollout and beat it.) (Rika answered. Then she got into a thought pose.)
Rika (Akina's Pikachu): (Come to think of it, I think I've seen that Jigglypuff before?) (Rika wondered. The three human Trainers were checking on the unconscious Trainer. Natsuko unhooded the girl and it brought shock to them as it was none other than….)
Natsuko Bushimori: Anne Maria!? (An astonished Natsuko mustered. Afterwards, Natsuko and Tatsumi narrowed their stare at the Jersey Shore Trainer, not only based on her actions from Total Drama, but for potentially trying to kill Akina. As for the Sky Princess Trainer, despite her initial shock, Akina couldn't help but to wonder why a sassy and vengeful girl like Anne Maria would risk her life to save hers. Akina grabbed Anne Maria, much to her teammates/friends' confusion.)
Natsuko Bushimori: What are you doing? (Natsuko asked.)
Akina Sakata: We can't just leave her here to freeze to death. We gonna take her and the Fire Type Pokémon to the Pokémon Center. (A serious Akina stated. Natsuko looked toward Tatsumi, who also shared a look of disbelief at what Akina is suggesting. Then they looked back to Akina.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Vulpix, Growlithe and Charmander are in need of our help. Yes, that is clear. But why should we help Anne Maria? Especially since she tried to kill you back at Cerulean. (Tatsumi asked. Despite remembering the act the Jersey Shore Trainer did to her, Akina shook her head and remained her resolve.)
Akina Sakata: I know what she did was wrong, but… having seen the look in her eyes at feeling powerless to help her Pokémon. Nobody deserves to see that. Not even her. (Getting up) And the fact she took the hit for me, is her first step of showing her remorse and redemption. (Akina said all of that, showing her kind, forgiving nature. Both samurai and knight girls were speechless by this selfless and saintlike qualities in Akina. Tatsumi, knowing she needs to hold on the umbrella on one hand, reluctantly handed the cake over to Natsuko and carried the surprised Vulpix with her right arm.)
Tatsumi Akeito: Hold on tightly, Vulpix. I will protect you. (Tatsumi assures the wild Fox Pokémon, much to Vulpix's touching astonishment. Back to the flock of Sparrow, out of all of them only four Spearow remained. Enraged by this, the alpha Spearow dives down toward Cody, who was covering Charmander's tail to keep his flame keep burning. Noticing this Ben placed himself in the way until… the fourth Spearow, the kindhearted one, build up the courage to use Aerial Ace and lands a critical blow at his leader. The remaining Braving Charizard, Cody, Ezekiel and Ben and their Pokémon were surprised by this as the fourth Spearow flew to their side. Growlithe and Pikachu were readying their moves until the Spearow raised his wings in a placating gesture.)
Wild Spearow: (Wait! Please, believe me! I'm not your enemy. I'm so sorry my flock attacked Charmander, Vulpix and you, Growlithe. We Spearow only attack others who would intrude or steal our territory. It's never the other way.) (Spearow apologized for the flock, despite the fact he didn't do them any harm. Pikachu and Growlithe confused at first, but calm down, sensing the sincere and honest words of Spearow. Soon everyone were good and ready as Akina carried Anne Maria on her back and run with Natsuko and Tatsumi. As for the boys, they run behind the girls, but with Cody using his raincoat to cover Charmander's tail. Spearow flew by Sosuke and Growlithe ran beside him.)
[Pokémon Center, Kanto Route 6 – Kanto]
(They finally reach the Pokémon Center. Once they told Nurse Joy of what transpire, she got to work to heal the three wild Pokémon. Growlithe and Vulpix were easy to heal, but due to the damage Charmander received, it was taking a bit longer. During the chat, Growlithe and Spearow spoke with Sosuke, wanting to join him after witnessing his selfless act to protect his friends. The Hero Trainer of course, accepted catching both Growlithe and Spearow, dubbing them as Inuyasha and Hagetaka. Vulpix also requested Tatsumi to join her, not only due to her caring and brave acts she did to help her against the wild Spearow, but also because like her, she loves strawberries and cake. Delighted by this, Tatsumi caught Vulpix, adding her on her team. Right now, most of the Braving Charizard were in their room asleep, except for Cody, Wartortle and Pikachu who was staring at the window revealing a healing Charmander as his flame was slowly expanding.)
Akina Sakata: Cody? (Cody turned and saw his girlfriend with a couple of blankets. She covers Pikachu and Wartortle in one but wrapped one around Cody. Cody smiled at Akina for thoughtful gesture, but frown when he turned back to check on Charmander's condition.)
Akina Sakata: Cody, I know you're worry about Charmander. We all are. But there's nothing to be too worried. Nurse Joy manage to stabilize his condition. He'll pull through. (Akina said, trying to cheer her boyfriend up. Cody had a small smile creep knowing the obvious answers given to him by Akina. Soon the couple held hands together affectionally.)
Cody Anderson: Thank you, Akina-hime. (Cody replied calmly. Akina joined him on the bench and slept while wrapped each other with the blanket. In the dark emergency room, Charmander opened his eyes and saw the sleep form of Cody and Akina, along with Pikachu and Wartortle. Despite how hurt Charmander was inside due to the broken promise of his trainer, or ex-trainer to be exact, he was still touched that Cody was the one who fulfilled that promise. At first, Charmander wondered if he should or shouldn't stay with him since he was the one who cared, protected and treated him with kindness along with his Pokémon and human friends. Coming out of her Poké Ball quietly was Charcha.)
Charcha (Akina's Charmander): (Charmander?) (Charcha whispered. Charmander was confused but amazed at the same time.)
Charcha (Akina's Charmander): (Are you okay? Did those Spearow hurt you!? I swear, if it wasn't for the rain, I would've help you beat them-) (Charcha paused as she saw the depressed expression on Charmander.)
Charcha (Akina's Charmander): (What's wrong, Charmander?) (Charcha asked worriedly.)
Charmander: (I'd thought despite everything he put me through, all the haste words, the rough training and leaving me there, he would've come back for me. Jacob didn't come back for me like he promised. But Cody did.) (Charmander said all of that. Charcha was sadden by how much he was betrayed by Jacob. Despite having never met his ex-trainer, Charcha glared angrily by the rotten trainer.)
Charcha (Akina's Charmander): (You know, I had a feeling that despite my awkwardness, you didn't want to betray Jacob. You're so kind and loyal. An underserving trainer like him was the one who betrayed you. I can see why you and my trainer's mate are so much alike.) (Charcha whispered back. Charmander was surprised but looking back Cody and seeing the way he cared for his Pokémon and Akina so much.)
Charmander: ((To think that Cody, a stranger I just met, would risk his life for me. And what's more, he and his friends also shown me more compassion and respect than Jacob ever did. They accept me for who I am.) Charcha, thank you.) (Charmander replied. Without noticing, Charmander was fully healed and approached Charcha by the window and both held their hands by the glass, so to speak.)
[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto] [August 17th, 2017]
(The next day came at Cerulean City. People gathered at the entrance of the Cerulean Gym, buying tickets for the underwater play known as the Mermaid Princess and the Hero Prince. Soon, the audience were seated, making a full house.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "Welcome everybody to the Cerulean Gym's premiere underwater play of "The Mermaid Princess and the Hero Prince." Our tale belongs in undersea kingdom of…. (While the pre-recorded narration of Daisy was being played from the speakers, on the high diving board of the Gym, behind the curtains was a nervous Misty looking at the entire audience that came for the show. And next to her was pinniped Pokémon with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur, a pale tan maw with a large red tongue, a pair of tusks on its lower jaw, circular eyes and a black nose, a small horn on its forehead, and two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail which resembles a waterspout. This is a Seel, and she was noticing the nervousness that her Gym Leader was experiencing.)
Misty's Seel: (Are you alright, Misty?) (A concern Seel asked.)
Misty: Sorry, Seel. I've never performed in a play before, especially in a front of a large crowd. (Misty stated. Seel smiled.)
Misty's Seel: (Don't worry Misty. I know you have what it takes to make this a splendid play! This is no different from having Gym Battles in a large crowd.) (Seel encourages. Misty smiled, regaining her confidence. Soon, the curtains were opening. After a breather, Misty got serious and up on her knees.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "While the queen of the undersea kingdom Ursa forbid any of her subjects from interacting from those from the surface, one mermaid princess would be the one who would not only break that rule, but to change the relations between mermaids and humans forever… People of Cerulean, may I introduce you all Aqua, the Mermaid Princess of Arielia" (Once the curtains opened, Misty smiled and raised her arms up with a rainbow-like pose revealing her costume, her hair was let down in a free and long style but having a pearl band on across from the back of her head, a pair of tear shape red earrings, a shell necklace, a pink strapless bikini, and a cyan colored fish tail suit with a yellow star on the left hip.)

(In his confessional, an astonished, but breath taken Daisuke was amazed by how beautiful his girlfriend looked in her mermaid costume. Squirtle looked at Daisuke as he was snapping him out of his trace.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle: (Daisuke! Are you alright!) (Squirtle asked. Seeing no response, Squirtle fires his Water Gun at the Swim Captain Trainer's face. Once snapped back from daydreaming, Daisuke comically groans as Squirtle ceased his Water Gun.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle: (DAISUKE!) (Squirtle yelled.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Ah! Oh, Squirtle. Sorry about the zooming out moments. I just couldn't resist the way, Misty looked in her costume. She's so beautiful. If she were an actual mermaid, I would still fall in love with her again. But I'm also proud of how she overcame her stage fright and perform on stage. (Looking confused) Or is it in the pool? (Daisuke asked puzzled. Squirtle looked confused as well with the actual setting.)
[Futuristic Click]
[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Misty dives into the pool, followed by Seel. Soon a lot of Water-Type Pokémon such as a group of Goldeen, Horsea, Staryu, Starmie, and Seel as they were performing a water ballet, holding Seel's flickers as they were spinning lightly.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "Aqua was having the happiest time with the Water Type Pokémon, having good laughs, swimming and joy of being around her best friends. But one day… (Misty/Aqua saw fireworks on the surface. She and Seel emerged from the pool/sea and saw a Kantonian ship, resembling a traditional Japanese battleship, as it was overrun by pirates as the first mate Noah/Vice was sword fighting with Kayoko/Admiral Aya.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "She stumble upon a war between the kingdom of Seruria and the Green Eyes Pirates!" (While in a "stalemate" with Admiral Aya, Noah/Vice mentally got disbelief.)
Noah Thomas: (Seruria? Really?) (Noah mentally asked. In the backstage, Violet and Lily were almost done getting dress as the addition pirate crewmates as the pre-recorded narrator entering the second act.)
Daisy (Gym Speaker): "Aqua managed to save the Hero Prince, whose name she did not learned, but swam him to safety and sang him a song."
Misty (Off-Screen): 義の人。 あなたは家族としてあなたの主題と生き物を保護するためにあなたの生命の露を危険にさらします。(English: Man of righteousness. You risk your very life dew to protect your subjects and creature as family.)
Misty (Off-Screen): 人間は空気を吸う野蛮人だと教えられました。 彼らは海のポケモンに心も慈悲も持っていません。(English: I was taught that humans were air breathing barbarians. They don't have hearts or mercy for the Pokémon of the sea.)
Misty (Off-Screen): しかし、私があなたの目を凝視するとき、私は慈悲深い人間以上のものに会います。 海と水ポケモンの真の親族の精神が見えます。(English: Yet when I stare into your eyes, I meet more than a benevolent human. I see a true kindred spirit of the sea and Water Pokémon.)
Misty (Off-Screen): 私があなたのことを考えれば考えるほど、私はあなたのためにより多くの絆を築きました。 より多くの絆が築かれるほど、私はあなたに恋をしなければなりません。(English: The more I think of you, the more bond I formed for you. The more bond is built, I cannot help but fall in love with you.)
Misty (Off-Screen): 私の唯一の夢はあなたと一緒にいることです、私の愛です。 どうするか、どれだけ憧れるか、どうしてもう我慢できないか。 どのように私が望むか、どのように私はあなたの平和なセルリアンの世界の一部になるか! (English: My only dream of all is to be with you, my love. How I would do, how much I yearn, how I can't stand it any longer. How I want, how I will become a part of your peaceful world of Cerulean!) (Misty finished singing all of that. Happy sobbing and cheers were being heard. Secretly Violet and Lily were sobbing a bit, truly proud of Misty for not only helping them but for having such a beautiful singing voice.)
Violet: You know, even though we tricked her into helping us, I can't help but be so (Sob) proud of her. (Violet mustered, struggling to resist crying.)
Lily: I know what ya mean, Violet. Our little Misty is slowly becoming a young woman. (A smiling Lily replied.)
Captain Kayaku: Too bad in return… you'll be responsible for losing all of your Gym's Pokémon. (Lily and Violet gasped as they turned were restrained with Confusion courtesy of a Team Rocket Grunt's Drowzee. They gasped shockingly upon seeing Team Rocket, led by Captain Kayaku. Her first female grunt had a Zubat, and the first male grunt had a Grimer along with a dozen Team Rocket grunts.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Captain! We managed to secure the gym without the crowd being aware of our presence. (He reported.)
Captain Kayaku: Impressive. All but one of the former Gym Leaders we have capture. The first unit will patrol the gym from the shadow. If you find any of these Contestant Trainers, don't hold back. Crush them! (Kayaku ordered. The first unit left for their assigned posts.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: You sure it is necessary, Captain? (she asked. Kayaku stares at the female grunt to further silent her.)
Captain Kayaku: Never underestimate the enemy. If they are beaten so easily and capture, perhaps you were correct to assume their false bravado. (Kayaku stated. The female grunt smirked at this.)
Captain Kayaku: But… should this mission end up in failure. I will you accordable for it. (Kayaku warned sternly. The female grunt gulped at that possible outcome. Back to the play, Act III was introduced and after a heated argument, Misty/Aqua declared her love for the Hero Prince, despite him being a human. This infuriated Heather/Queen Ursa as she used her trident to destroy her human items on her grotto but with a little Seaking's Hyper Beam. Misty/Aqua was shockingly frightened by the destruction her older sister was wrecking. Heather/Queen Ursa aimed and destroyed the statue of the Hero Prince, causing Misty/Aqua to knee down and cry heartbroken by this cruel act. As Heather/Queen Ursa was leaving, she can't help but feel ashamed and guilt ridden that she committed such a horrible act on her own baby sister.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "After the argument escalated into a provoked Queen Ursa to destroy Aqua's collection of human items, a despairing Aqua fell to the seafloor, crying at her Sea Queen's cruel actions." (The crowds gasped, some cried while some were upset and mad at the Sea Queen's harsh treatment. A "sobbing" Misty/Aqua swam to a large clam.)
Daisy (Gym Speakers): "With the destruction of her human items and the actions done by her elder sister, Aqua retreated into a clam, crying to sleeping with a shattered dream." (The clam slowly closed. Crowd sighs sadly. From the audience's prying eyes, Noah sighed in boredom.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Patience, amigo. This play still has three more acts. Once completed, we can reap in the rewards from this sub-challenge. (Alejandro assures his ally. Noah scans the Seel with his Pokédex.)
Noah's Pokédex: "Seel, the Sea Lion Pokémon."
"It loves freezing cold conditions, relishing swimming in a frigid climate of around 14˚F degrees. The protruding horn on its head is used for basking through thick ice."
Alejandro Burromuerto: Huh? (Alejandro looked carefully and saw a pair of Team Rocket grunts bringing out their Rocket Balls containing their Pokémon. This alerted Alejandro but with a quieter volume.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Oh mierda. (A widen eye Alejandro whispered. Despite not turning around, Noah mentally knew whom were behind a few feet away from them.)
Noah Thomas: (Sighed blankly) Don't tell me… the Cerulean Gym has been infiltrated by a squad of Team Rocket grunts. (Noah answered anticipatedly. Alejandro with a stoic expression spoke.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Sí. (Alejandro replied.)
Noah Thomas: They captured and locked the Sensation Sisters away and plotting to steal the gym's Pokémon. (Noah answered correctly.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Yep. (Alejandro confirmed.)
Noah Thomas: And by the looks of it, they're gonna fire a powerful Poison Type move at us even while we speak. (Noah answered undoubtfully.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Much likely. (Alejandro guessed. Noah was silent for a few second before he spoke.)
Noah Thomas: Bring it on. (Noah declared. No doubt, the two grunts were shocked mildly that they have been compromised.)
Team Rocket Grunt #2: Quick! Fire Sludge Bomb! (He commanded his Zubat. Zubat's Sludge Bomb lands a direct hit at the boat. Both grunts smirked darkly that they struck down two of the Raging Gyarados. Zubat and Raticate were both out as well.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Flamethrower! (A powerful Flamethrower was fired and lands a direct, decisive hit on Raticate. Raticate growls painfully. Both grunts were shocked by this.)
Noah Thomas: Use Confusion. (Noah commanded. Soon, the two Zubat were caught by Confusion and freeze in their place in the air. Confused, the grunts looked upon they spotted the two unharmed Raging Gyarados Alejandro and Noah above them with their Charmander and Abra and Venonat. Thanks to Abra's Teleport, Noah and Alejandro were able to teleported just a few seconds before the Sludge Bomb evens strike them. Noah's Venonat's eyes glow, being the one using Confusion.)
Noah Thomas's Venonat: (You Pokémon robbers won't get away without the proper repercussion!) (Venonat said. Soon, he lunged the Zubat with enough psychic blast that caused them to faint. Back on the stage, having been underwater for an hour and a half, Misty's lack of oxygen began to show, so to speak. She quickly turned on a waterproof flashlight and grabbed a red air breather mask.)
Misty: (Sighed relievedly) Thank goodness this air breather was placed under this pillow. Just a few oxygens in my lungs, and I'll be able to finish this play without any trouble and get it over with. (Misty said to herself.)
Captain Kayaku: Attention, people of Cerulean City. I am Akuma, the leader of the Rocket Witch Tribe. (Misty gasped mildly.)
Misty: Rocket Witch Tribe? I don't remember my sisters mentioning a Rocket Witch Tribe unless… Team Rocket! (Misty reacted. Once she opened the clam, Misty swims out and upon laying her eyes on what's in front of her was a shocking scenario. The Gym Pokémon were being caught in fishing nets by the grunt subordinates while Captain Kayaku, wearing a black toga with the Team Rocket logo on the medallion, were wearing air breathers, and catching the Water Type Pokémon by throwing nets to trap them in. However to the audience, they believe this is part of the show. They were just staring in anticipation for what will happen next. Backstage, Daisy was finished putting on her European-like soldier costume, which was primarily white, but with red puffy pants. Once done, she closed the locker door.)
Daisy: There. Now, I'll can get on stage and just in time for Act 4. (Daisy exclaimed. BAM. BAM. BAM. Daisy noticed the noise coming from two lockers a few feet from the left. She opens them and finds her sisters Violet and Lily tied up and gagged.)
Daisy: Violet!? Lily!? What's going on? (Daisy asked. Violet and Lily freaked out a bit and mumbles to tell their sister of two Raticate leaning to attack Daisy. Daisy couldn't understand what they were trying to say.)
Daisy: Wait a minute. What are you trying to say? (Daisy asked oblivious. However, KAAAAA, a Dragon Rage was fired and launched the defeated Raticate duo against the wall. Daisy widened their eyes and turned to see the two Raticate, fainted on the ground. Soon, two Team Rocket Grunts yelled painfully. The three sisters were shockingly surprised to see a serious Kayoko knocking out the two grunts into submission by perfectly aimed fists.)
Sensational Sisters: Kayoko!? (Kayoko)!? (They exclaimed simultaneously.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Apologies for alerting you like this. It seems we've been invaded by Team Rocket. (Kayoko explained. Soon, after Daisy ungagged and untied her sisters, they were able to tied up and round up the other five Team Rocket Grunts, but with Kayoko's Oddish and Bellsprout keeping a careful watch over them. Thankfully Alejandro and Noah were with them.)
Violet: Oh, man. Of all time that Team Rocket could intrude on our gym, it had to be today. (Violet complained.)
Noah Thomas: Hey, just be lucky we were still here in the first place. It could've been worse. (Noah exclaimed.)
Lily: Worse like how? (Lily asked.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: You would've all your Gym's Pokémon to estos ladrones. (Alejandro explained.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Kayoko. You defeated five of them. You've must interrogate intel from them. (Alejandro asked.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Correct you are on your assumption. This operation was to steal all of the Cerulean Gym Pokémon by using the underwater play so they could easily infiltrate without raising suspicions in the crowd. (Kayoko answered. The Sensational Sister gasped at this. But what worried them more was that Misty was still on stage, probably dealing with Team Rocket alone. Back to the play stage.)
Misty: Team Rocket! Why are you here? (Misty demanded.)
Captain Kayaku: Is it not obvious. We're here to take all of the Pokémon your Gym possess. (Kayaku answered. Misty glares at Kayaku.)
Misty: Not while I'm here. Staryu! Use Swift! (Misty commanded. Staryu fires their Swift to cut the net to free the Pokémon.)
Captain Kayaku: Arbok, use Payback. (Kayaku commanded as she brought forth her Arbok. It was a purple serpent-like Pokémon with a black, red and yellow pattern under its hood that looked menacing. Arbok stopped Staryu's Swift by using Payback to destroy the projectile.)
Kayaku's Arbok: (You will not stand in my captain's operation. I am merely following orders.) (Arbok stated.)
Captain Kayaku: Poison Sting! (Kayaku commanded. Arbok fires his Poison Sting directly at Staryu.)
Misty: Staryu! Use Recover! (Misty commanded. Slowly Staryu starts their Recover.)
Captain Kayaku: Arbok, use Bite! (Kayaku commanded. Arbok channels enough Dark type energy and swam toward Staryu, who was still recovering some HP. Before it could be done, an Iron Tail struck down Arbok by the head, courtesy of Heather's Ekans.)
Heather Hamilton: Hey! You want to piece of the Cerulean Gym Leader? You gotta get through me first. (Heather yelled through her air breather. She swam with her Wartortle by her side and with her Ekans facing off Kayaku's Arbok.)
Captain Kayaku: You're swimming through uncharted waters, little girl. (Kayaku warned.)
Heather Hamilton: Ha! What else is new for me. (Heather retorted. Heather ordered Ekans to use Iron Tail again.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Tentacool! Water Pulse! (He commanded. Out came was a blue jellyfish-like Pokémon with gray two tentacles, a red gem on its forehead and two large red crystals on each side of its head. Tentacool fires Water Pulse directly at Ekans.)
Heather Hamilton: Ekans! (Heather yelled worriedly. Thankfully Ekans regained its position. Soon, the female grunt brought out her own Ekans, much to Heather's Ekans's rage. Curious of the new Pokémon before her, Heather brought out her Pokédex.)
Heather Hamilton: (Thank god, these are waterproof. Otherwise I'd be electrocuting to death.) (Heather said mentally.)
Heather's Pokédex: "Tentacool, the Jellyfish Pokémon."
"It drifts in shallow sea but can sometimes be found all dry and shriveled up on beaches. Anglers who took them by accident are often punished by its stinging acid."
Heather Hamilton: Uh oh! You better go help Ekans, Wartortle. (Heather said.)
Heather's Wartortle: (No problem.) (Wartortle replied. Wartortle fires Water Gun at Ekans, but unfortunately Tentacool took the hit. Heather growls quietly.)
Heather Hamilton: Ekans! Unify Poison Sting and Bite! Use Poison Love! (Heather commanded. After charging up and merging the moves, Ekans swam instantly and lands a powerful hit at Tentacool. Tentacool yelled painfully. The crowd were astonished and amazed by the sight of a Unifying Move, including Captain Kayaku. Once the foam was cleared, Tentacool fainted as the result of losing its HPs.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: Whoa! What just happened!? (She questioned. The male grunt, however, was curious of the Unifying Moves. Heather with Wartortle and her Ekans smirked proudly. The male grunt zapped his Tentacool back into its Rocket Ball.)
Team Rocket Grunt #1: Ingenious tactic! She's no slouch. You better watch out. (He warned before swimming back to the surface. The female grunt scoffs.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: Me watch out!? She's just a Beginner Trainer! We're members of the esteem Team Rocket! (She declared. Thankfully, the crowd didn't catch on the last part as they were excited watching a Pokémon battle. The female grunt ordered her Ekans to attack with Poison Tail, which was countered with Heather ordering her Ekans to use Iron Tail.)
Misty: Starmie! Use Bubble Beam! (Misty commanded. Starmie fires Bubble Beam directly at Arbok. Arbok hisses painfully yet it was still capable of fighting. Kayaku had to begrudgingly admire the Tomboyish Mermaid's merit and power as a Gym Leader.)
Heather Hamilton: Wartortle! Fire another Water Gun at that loser Rocket girl's Ekans! (Kayaku turned and saw Heather's Wartortle landing his Water Gun directly at the hissing Ekans.)
Heather Hamilton's Wartortle: (Yes! We got them on the run.) (Wartortle told his teammate. Ekans nodded.)
Heather Hamilton's Ekans: (Now that we have to do is defeat this Ekans, so I could beat that overgrowth stink over there!) (Ekans stated. Wartortle face palmed at the sudden rivalry Ekans developed on a Team Rocket Captain's Arbok.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: You got some nerve to not only insult me but take Team Rocket so lightly! (She barked.)
Heather Hamilton: Trust me, you can't imagine how many times my little brother Damien has been talking about you guys ever since he got those Pokémon games involving Kanto. Normally I would be disgusted with myself having to do the same thing that nerds and loser games played on their consoles back in my world, but… having them by my side for real… I can totally have respect for these creatures a lot more than any human being. (Heather said all of that.)

(In Heather's confessional, were Kakuna, Nidoran , and Ekans on the bed. However their widen eyes were due to how astonishing yet touching it was when Heather basically said that she cares and respects them and Pokémon a lot better than most human beings.)
Heather's Kakuna: (Whoa! I never thought Heather would ever say those words. Although, we were inside our Poké Balls.) (Kakuna mustered.)
Heather's Nidoran : (Yeah but remember. She may say it now, but she's still a colossal popular girl from the suburbs. Whatever a suburb is. But it's nice to hear it from the Pontya's mouth.) (Nidoran expressed. Ekans cries anime tears of joy.)
Heather Hamilton's Ekans: (Yeah, but it's still so wonderful how our Queen acknowledge our strength and hard work.) (Ekans said instantly. KNOCK. KNOCK.)
Heather Hamilton's Wartortle: (Speaking of Heather, you do realize we're in the middle of a battle with Team Rocket?) (Wartortle retorted. Nidoran and Kakuna were concerned about opening the door.)
Heather Hamilton's Kakuna: (Can you wait until Nidoran, and I are inside our Poké Balls.) (Kakuna asked.)
Heather Hamilton's Nidoran : (Well as much as I hate to admit like Heather, only you and Ekans can survive underwater.) (Nidoran said ashamed.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
Heather Hamilton: Alright, Ekans! Use Iron Tail! (Heather commanded. Ekans charged forth to land her Iron Tail a powerful hit at the opponent's Ekans. Kayaku's Arbok lands a direct hit at Staryu with Acid.)
Captain Kayaku: I have to do everything, myself. (Kayaku complained sternly. She brought out another Rocket Ball.)
Captain Kayaku: Tentacruel! Use Body Slam on the enemy's Ekans! (Kayaku commanded as she threw the Rocket Ball. Coming out of the Ball was a large, light blue jellyfish-like Pokémon, two large, red orbs on either side and a smaller orb in the center, its eyes are visible in its round lower body, which is black, two blue, beak-like appendages and numerous grayish tentacles.)
Kayaku's Tentacruel: (Affirmative, my captain!) (Roaring fiercely) (Tentacruel lands a powerful hit on a bulged eye Ekans with Body Slam. Ekans hisses painfully.)
Heather Hamilton: (Gasp) Ekans!? (Heather yelled. Ekans's HP was in the red. Back on the surface, the Sensational Sisters and the rest of the Raging Gyarados were anxious of what is happening in the battle. Noah brought out his Pokédex and scans the Tentacruel.
Noah's Pokédex: "Tentacruel, the Jellyfish Pokémon and the Evolved Form of Tentacool."
"The tentacles arm normally kept short as they are a total of 80. On hunts, they are extended to ensnare and immobilize prey."
(This act got Misty upset as she turned her enraged attention to Kayaku.)
Misty: Hey! Two against one is bad enough. But using a sneak attack against an opposing Pokémon isn't fair. (Misty lectured.)
Captain Kayaku: Life isn't fair. I'm no challenger on your precious Gym battleground. I fight to win. (Kayaku said cruelly.)
Captain Kayaku: Tentacruel! Use Poison Sting on Wartortle! (Kayaku commanded. Tentacruel opened his mouth and fires the volley of Poison Sting toward a shocked Wartortle. However, the Poison Sting didn't hit its target, but Heather who take the Poison Sting instead.)
Heather Hamilton: (SCREAMING PAINFULLY) (Wartortle gasped shockingly at the sight of his meanspirited Trainer who take the attack for him. Misty gasped while covering her mouth in shock. Alejandro gasped shockingly at the sight of his girlfriend being harmed.)

(In her confessional, Heather, still wearing her costume, was staring calmly at the cam.)
Heather Hamilton: I like to confirm the fact to everyone of both worlds that I am no masochist just because I get attacked by animals and different kinds of Pokémon. I mean it. (Heather states her case.)

[Cerulean Gym, Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Once the Poison Sting ceased, Heather shakingly moved while managing to take a few stingers off of her shoulder. While irritated that Heather blocks her Tentacruel's Poison Sting for her Wartortle, Kayaku wasn't impressed by the selfless act.)
Captain Kayaku: Why would Heather foolishly take the assault of my Tentacruel's Poison Sting. Hmm, I will never understand the ways of these other worlders They are all so pathetic. (Kayaku said with an insult. Misty gritted her teeth at hearing Kayaku mocking her friend.)
Misty: You! You're a MONSTER! (Misty yelled. Sensing his Trainer's emotions, Seel bravely swims forth and lands a powerful Horn Attack at the hissing Arbok, much to Kayaku's shock. Soon the Team Rocket Captain saw Misty reached the Pokémon caught in the net as she is trying to break the knots apart. Soon, Kayaku ordered her Arbok to entangled Misty with Wrap using her tail.)
Misty: (Grunting strugglingly) (Kayaku approached Misty.)
Captain Kayaku: Gym Leader or not, you are still just a child, you could never- (A Confusion inflict a super effective hit at the hissing Arbok, causing Kayaku to gasp.)
Kayaku's Arbok: (ARGH! The pain! Someone hit me with a Psychic-Type Move!?) (Arbok mustered. Kayaku turned and glared at the sight of the perpetrator. It was Daisuke without an air breather, with his Squirtle and Psyduck out. His costume was consisting of a dark and light blue colored samurai armor, a white kimono set underneath, but with the hakama having light blue gradient style and wave patterns.)
Captain Kayaku: Another one! It seems you can't help but unleash your meaningless rage toward Team Rocket! It seems fitting considering the name you call yourselves. (Kayaku shouted.)
Captain Kayaku: Arbok, use Hyper Beam! Tentacruel, use Hydro Pump! (Kayaku commanded. Arbok and Tentacruel charges up their Normal-Type and Water-Type powerful energy beams.)
Misty: Daisuke! Get away! (A concerned Misty yelled. Soon, Arbok and Tentacruel fired their Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump directly at Daisuke and his duo Pokémon. BOOMMM! The crowd and Misty gasped in shock.)
Captain Kayaku: Honestly, and they considered you one of the Raging Gyarados's strongest Trainers. (Kayaku commented. The female grunt noticed Wartortle helping his Trainer Heather swimming back to the surface to find an Antidote for her poison. So did the male grunt.)
Heather's Wartortle: (Damn it! They spotted us!) (Wartortle responded.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: Like I let you help your master recover so she could fight back. Tentacool! Use, Acid! (She commanded. Tentacool fires its Acid toward Heather and Wartortle. However, one of Heather's Poké Balls opened and dives down into the pool. Just as the Acid would lay harm on either the Cruel Queen Trainer and Turtle Pokémon, the Pokémon took the damage, much to the female grunt and her Tentacool's mild shock. Once the flash faded, it was Heather's Kakuna, who used Harden to increase his Defense stats, which astonished his Trainer and fellow Pokémon.)
Heather Hamilton: Ka- Kakuna? (Heather mustered.)
Heather Hamilton's Kakuna: (You're… not! Allow… to harm… MY QUEENNNN!) (Soon, Kakuna began to glow, starting his final evolution. Knowing time was precious, the evolving Kakuna position himself between Heather and Wartortle and as he was changing, flew upward. They emerged from the pool as the evolution was complete and Kakuna evolved into Beedrill!)
Heather Hamilton's Beedrill: (Ladies and Gentlemen! May I present myself as… Beedrill, the Warrior Bee of her Majesty, Heather Hamilton!) (Beedrill greeted. Despite being in a poisoned condition, Heather had a small smile at how Beedrill finally evolved and risk himself for her.)
Heather Hamilton: Bout time. (Heather replied softly. Soon, Beedrill's lance-hands were glowing in moss green, indicating a new move he learned from evolving. Alejandro and Noah noticed this and knew one thing.)
Noah Thomas: Well I'll be? It seems Beedrill has learn Twineedle. (Noah answered.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Beedrill. I know I'm not your Trainer but use Twineedle at that bruja's Tentacool. (Alejandro shouted with a command. Beedrill looked skeptic at why he should obey the Flame Spaniard Trainer.)
Heather Hamilton: (Grunting painfully) Beedrill. J-just do as he said. The faster we end this, the better I'll find once I get some Antidote on me. (Heather commanded. Having received his orders, Beedrill nodded and aims his lance arms toward the direction of the Team Rocket Tentacool, which was freaked out.)
Heather Hamilton's Beedrill: (You attacked my comrades, poisoning my queen trainer. You just made a grave ERROR!) (Beedrill scream as he fires his Twineedle twice at Tentacool directly. TACOOLLL! Tentacool screams painfully. Once the torrential foam cleared, the second Tentacool fainted.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: Tentacool!? (She screamed shockingly. Soon she zaps it back into its Rocket Ball.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: (How!? How is possible that I lose to a Beginner from another world!?) (She asked herself before swimming out of the water. Back to the battle with the Team Rocket Captain, she was locating Misty until she found her yet again trying to break the Pokémon free.)
Captain Kayaku: Seriously. After witnessing your man's demise. You still futilely choose to stand in Team Rocket's way! (Kayaku said angrily. Despite coming close to crying, Misty mustered the strength to resist and put on a brave face and gathering every courage in her bones.)
Misty: You may not believe in true love or what it means to have close bonds with your Pokémon, but I do. My sisters do and so do my otherworld friends. If they have the nerve to stand up to you. Then so do I! (Misty grunts) (Misty is trying to break the knots.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Well, spoken my lovely mermaid. (Daisuke said, much to Misty and Kayaku's shocking surprise. After unifying both Confusion and Scratch again, Psyduck strikes down a hissing Arbok with Confusion Claw, which has a Super Effective blow at the Cobra Pokémon. Kayaku gasped shockingly.)
Captain Kayaku: ARBOK! Oh, my precious serpent Pokémon. (Kayaku cried as she held the fainted Cobra Pokémon. After zapping him back into her Rocket Ball, Kayaku turned as she stares angrily at a serious, but equal glaring Daisuke. He was not only still alive but had his Squirtle and Psyduck by his side. Also, he had his costume intact, but didn't have an air breather on him, which was surprising as he doesn't show any sign of drowning underwater.)
Captain Kayaku: How'd you survive that Beam assault!? (Kayaku asked. Daisuke remembers the moment when he was saved. The flashback starts. Back in Kayaku's Arbok and Tentacruel were charging up their Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump. Daisuke moved his Squirtle and Psyduck behind him.)
Daisuke Umizawa (Flashback): Get back Psyduck! You too, Minogame. (Daisuke said to his Pokémon. While Psyduck got the message, but Squirtle was confused by the name Daisuke called him.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle (Flashback): (Mino… game?) (A confused Squirtle asked. Daisuke smiles sadly.)
Daisuke Umizawa: (Flashback): Yeah! I was gonna gave you a surprise, but since we got involved in battling Team Rocket, I might as well tell you. Squirtle, how would you like the nickname of Minogame. It is the name of a mythical creature from my homeland of Japan known to live for 10,000 years and having a longer tail composed of seaweeds and algae that served the Dragon God of the seas Ryujin. I figured of how we met and have trained and battle, I know you will be strong as the legendary minogame of ancient times. (Daisuke said all of that. Squirtle was amazed by how much his Trainer cares and acknowledge. Even enough to give him a nickname based on mythical creature from Japan. So Squirtle… Minogame nodded as he held Daisuke's back. Suddenly, an Abra teleported behind all three of them.)
Daisuke Umizawa (Flashback): (An Abra? Noah's or…) (Daisuke's train of thoughts was halted as the Team Rocket Pokémon fired their Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump straight toward them.)
Abra (Flashback): (Please! We have no time to waste!) (Abra said offering its hand. Minogame and Psyduck held on Daisuke and he in turn grabbed the offer hand. Abra used Teleport just in the nick of time, avoid both the Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump.)
Daisuke Umizawa (Voice-Over): I don't know whose Abra it was, but the fact that it belonged to one of my teammates, meant that they were finally coming together, even though it's against a common foe. (Daisuke explained. Daisuke reappears behind the Team Rocket Captain. Abra teleported away. Psyduck swam forth.)
Daisuke Umizawa (Flashback): Okay, Psyduck! Let's Unify Confusion and Scratch! Let's defeat that Arbok with Confusion Claw! (Daisuke commanded. A serious Psyduck's eyes glows in blue Psychic aura.)
Daisuke Umizawa's Psyduck (Flashback): (Aye-aye, captain!) (Psyduck replied. Once he unified the two moves, Psyduck charged forth with Confusion Claw. The Flashback ended. Kayaku growls angrily.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I'll skip the rest of it, but bottom-line is my Pokémon and teammates help me because we needed to work as a team. (Daisuke finished. Some of the audiences were awestruck or cheers excitedly at the impressive tactic of the play. Even the Sensational Sisters were impressed by it. While Noah, with Alejandro having administer the Antidote on his resting girlfriend, looking confused by this.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: You know, I must admit. You really are something, Noah. (Alejandro complimented. The Scholar Trainer looked confused blankly.)
Noah Thomas: What are you doing about? (Noah asked blankly yet with actual honesty.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Come on. You don't always have to be modest or your usual rude self. It was your Abra who swam deep into the pool and teleported Daisuke and his Pokémon to safety. Enabling him to launch a sneak attack on that Team Rocket captain's Arbok. (A serious Alejandro explained. Noah stares blankly at Alejandro.)
Noah Thomas: Impressive power of deduction and analysis. Except for one fact… (Noah brought out a Poké Ball and coming out was his Abra.)
Noah Thomas's Abra: (Salutations, Noah. Alejandro.) (Abra greeted. Alejandro was surprised by this.)
Noah Thomas: Abra was in his Poké Ball during the battle underwater. (Noah explained.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: But if it wasn't yours then whose…. (Alejandro and Noah turned and saw Kayoko feeding Heather a special soup with spices made of Oran and Pecha berries. She signal them with two fingers.)

(Inside her confessional, Kayoko, still wearing her costume, was sitting with her arms crossed and with her Abra by her side.)
Kayoko Ashioku: If you haven't figured it out yet. I'm the one who sent her Abra to assist Daisuke. Compared to those three prideful fools, he and I are practically saints. (Kayoko confessed, also calling Alejandro, Noah and Heather as the prideful fools.)
Kayoko Ashioku: In case, some of you are wondering. No, I have no feelings of love for Daisuke. I have no interest in romance. (Kayoko confirmed. Sensing the anger within her, Abra calms her Trainer down.)
Kayoko Ashioku's Abra: (Peace, my lady. Don't let your negative emotions to surface at this time.) (Abra advised. Soon, Kayoko calmed herself down. Yet, she didn't lose her frown.)
Kayoko Ashioku: And yet, I must agree with Heather and Daisuke. This team cannot win challenges without a leader. And at the same time, we cannot function as a team without unity in it. Infighting leads to internal conflicts and internal conflicts will be mark the end of a nation. If we have any chance to reach the merge, we must stand as a united front against both Team Rocket and the Braving Charizard. (Kayoko said all of that.)

(Daisuke was still not wearing an air breather but wasn't drowning either. This irritated Kayaku greatly.)
Captain Kayaku: (He's been breathing underwater for 2 hours now, and he hasn't started suffocating from the high-water pressure. An ordinary human would've been dead at this moment. Just what is he!?) (Kayaku thought.)
Minogame (Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle): (Daisuke. What do you say we end this with another Unifying Move!) (Minogame suggested. Daisuke, with a proud smile, nodded.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Of course! Minogame, use Rapid Spin! (Daisuke commanded. Minogame swam forth and uses Rapid Spin to build up both Speed and to create another water vortex.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Alright! Now integrate it with Aqua Jet! (Daisuke added. Soon, drawing on the power of Aqua Jet, Minogame began to create the comet-like water aura. Captain Kayaku snarled at this.)
Captain Kayaku: You think I'm gonna sit down and allow you to foil another Team Rocket operation!? Tentacruel, Use Poison Jab! (Kayaku commanded. Tentacruel charged forth with its Poison Jab. However, an Aurora Beam was fired and hit it directly.)
Kayaku's Tentacruel: (HOWLING PAINFULLY) (Kayaku turned and saw it was Misty's Seel who fired the Aurora Beam. Misty finally broke the net, freeing the Goldeen and Seaking.)
Misty: There! I finally did it. (Misty said to herself. She turned her attention and saw Daisuke having Minogame prepare a Unifying Move.)
Misty: (Do it, Daisuke. You can do it.) (Misty spoke inside. Seel swam herself between Minogame and Tentacruel. While not stopping in his track, Minogame was surprised by this turn of events.)
Minogame (Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle): (Seel!?) (A confused Minogame mustered.)
Misty's Seel: (Don't mind me. Concentrate on using your Uni-fying Move, I'll buy you enough time.) (Seel stated before she swam forth. Getting the message, Seel resume its Rapid Spin. Seel uses a Horn Attack toward Tentacruel.)
Captain Kayaku: Dodge it! And pummel that Seel with Body Slam! (Kayaku commanded. Tentacruel dodges the Horn Attack, and then strikes down the crying Seel with Body Slam. Daisuke, Misty and Minogame were gasping in shock. Seel lands safely on the bottom floor.)
Captain Kayaku: That's what a foolish Pokémon get for acting powerful. They fall like the tiniest rain drop that hits the ground. (A sadistic Kayaku added with a cruel smile. Having enough of these unjust and horrible acts committed by Team Rocket, an enraged Minogame has had enough of them.)
Minogame (Daisuke Umizawa's Squirtle): (First you Pokémon thieves infiltrated into the gym and take the people as hostages, then you started to capture the Pokémon here and inflict harm to my human friends and my comrades and now, you harmed and insulted Seel! That's IT! I won't stand for this anymore. If what my Trainer, my friend Daisuke told me about them is true, then like the legendary minogame, I will push and pull! I will break my limits and defeat you with my might from my HEARTTT!) (Minogame yelled before he was engulfed in a blue light. Everyone were astonished by what was occurring. Misty swam to her boyfriend's side.)
Misty: Daisuke! Is Minogame… (Daisuke nodded.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Yes! Minogame is finally evolving. Better late than never. (A proud smiling Daisuke stated. Once the light faded, Minogame finally evolved into a Wartortle, but only did his appearance change, so did his stats and power increase as the water vortex grew bigger. But that's not all as silver gray color aura was coating on Minogame and hardened the Unifying Move to be.)
Heather Hamilton: (Groaning) My head… Hey, what's going on? (Heather asked.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: It seems Minogame, Daisuke's Squirtle finally evolved into a Wartortle. By that silver aura embodying it must be a status move to increase his Defense stats. (Alejandro wondered. Just as Noah was gonna explain, Kayoko beat him to it.)
Kayoko Ashioku: It's called Iron Defense. It's a Steel Type Move that boosts a Pokémon's Defense double of their current stats. (Kayoko explained. Back to the battle, scene shows Minogame completing from the reflection of Daisuke's pupil before zooming back Daisuke smiling proudly at the new Unifying Move being create from three moves of Normal, Water and Steel Types.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Misty… I am happy… happy to have the honor of battling alongside you. (Daisuke said to his girlfriend. A blushing Misty was touched by this.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Now with three moves, I can utilize them for a new Unifying Move. (Daisuke said as he strike an arm pose.)
Captain Kayaku: I think not! Tentacruel use Bubble Beam! (Kayaku commanded.)
Kayaku's Tentacruel: (Yes, ma'am!) (It said. Noticing Tentacruel firing Bubble Beam at Minogame, Seel, after recovering, got serious and swam whirling.)
Misty's Seel: (I won't let you thieves get away with this!) (Seel began to glow. Everyone in the gym were astonished by this.)
Captain Kayaku: No! Not again! (She screamed in frustration. Seel's slipper grew, the tail was larger and flowing and when the light vanished, Seel's new appearance was a full white fur body, two tusks on its upper jaw. DEW. GONG!)
Misty: Seel… You've evolved! (Misty responded in awestruck. Daisuke brought out his Pokédex and scans the evolved Pokémon.)
Daisuke's Pokédex: "Dewgong, the Sea Lion Pokémon and the Evolved Form of Seel."
"It stores thermal energy in its snowy-white body. It swims at a steady 8 knots even in intensive cold waters." (Soon, Dewgong charges up a turquoise and light blue Ice Type special move. Noticing this new move, Misty got serious. Once Tentacruel's Bubble Beam was ceased, it didn't do much as the new Unifying Move was impenetrable, rendering them ineffective. Kayaku snarled shockingly.)
Captain Kayaku: Impossible! How? How did Bubble Beam fail against this… this…!?
Daisuke Umizawa: I told you. When someone dares to harm those who are precious to me, I don't rest until they are swallowed away like a powerful tsunami! (Daisuke roared. A fierce glaring Daisuke thrusted his left arm forth.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Minogame! Let's Unify Rapid Spin, Aqua Jet and Iron Defense! Unleashed your WATER METEOR! (Daisuke commands fiercely. Like his Trainer, Minogame stares fiercely as he began his march.)
Minogame (Daisuke Umizawa's Wartortle): (If you want to play it rough. I'll get have to do it in a DEVASTATING STYLE!) (Minogame roared as he completed his preparation and launched himself inside the Water Meteor, hurling toward a startled Tentacruel. Desperate to avoid the new unique move, Kayaku responded.)
Captain Kayaku: Tentacruel! Evade that attack! Don't let it touch you! (Kayaku yelled.)
Misty: Dewgong! Use Ice Beam! (Misty commanded.)
Misty's Dewgong: (Right! You aren't going away!) (Dewgong yelled. Dewgong fires her Ice Beam directly at Tentacruel. Tentacruel was stunned by it. However, it was enough as a roaring Minogame finally lands a decisive blow at Tentacruel. The Water Meteor inflicts a lot of damages at the howling Tentacruel. TENTACRUELLLLL! Upon landing on the floor, it caused a powerful eruption of water that emerged, causing a lot of drizzles.)
Cerulean Gym Audience: (Gasping awestricken) (The children were giggling and laughing happily at this. During the Pokémon made rain, Tentacruel landed on the platform, but complete fainted. Kayaku zaps her Tentacruel back into its Rocket Ball.)
Team Rocket Grunts: CAPTAIN! (Kayaku turned to see her only two remaining subordinates. Soon, Daisuke, Misty and their Pokémon resurfaced. Misty took off her air breather. Daisuke got up on a platform and helps his girlfriend Misty get up.)
Team Rocket Female Grunt: Captain! We can't allow this failure to humiliate us. I have some Revives and we can see turn this around. I'll-
Captain Kayaku: You'll be QUIET! (Kayaku yelled angrily. The female grunt gulped fearfully. Without turning around, Kayaku spoke to her male subordinate.)
Captain Kayaku: It seems you were correct on your assumption on these reality TV contestants. They are more formidable and powerful than we previously anticipated. (Kayaku stated. The male grunt smiles at this.)
Captain Kayaku: Bring out your Abra. Our mission has failed. We must retreat and avoid capture. (Kayaku ordered. While the female grunt was shocked by this, the sadden, but understanding grunt nodded.)
Captain Kayaku: You! I'll admit. I underestimate you and your teammates. You have great leadership instincts that I begrudgingly acknowledge. What is your name? (Kayaku said.)
Daisuke Umizawa: It's Daisuke! My name is Daisuke Kamejiro Umizawa. (Daisuke exchanged his full name.)
Captain Kayaku: Well, Umizawa. I'll let you have this victory. Next time, however, you won't be so lucky! (Kayaku snarled as she threw a smoke bomb at her position and a Teleport was used to get them away. Soon afterwards, after the smoke cleared, the play resumed and Daisuke, wearing his hero prince samurai costume, stared in happiness seeing the mermaid princess Misty/Aqua having been "turned into a human" wearing a dazzling light cyan dress, smiling at her samurai prince. Daisy, got to her microphone and resume her role as a narrator.)
Daisy (Microphone): "After the long and hard battle against Akuma and the Rocket Witch Tribe. Having seen the Hero Prince, Chosokabe Kamechika's bravery and love for her sister Aqua, Queen Ursa had a change of heart and use her trident to turn her from mermaid into human. Now that she could roam on land, Aqua and Kamechika embraced each other and share a passionate kiss." (Daisy narrates. Once both couple embrace, they spined around once and shared a kiss together. The curtains covered the stage. And once they opened., the entire cast were lined up but with Heather/Ursa and Alejandro/Jacinto holding hands and Misty/Aqua wearing a beautiful white Western style wedding dress and holding a bouquet of waterlilies and Daisuke/Kamechika was wearing a traditional Japanese black wedding kimono. The entire cast smiled and waves in gratitude. The audience cheers loudly but excited and loving the play as it reach its end.)
Daisy (Microphone): "Soon, Kamechika and Aqua got married, becoming King and Queen of Seruria. Ursa and Jacinto developed love for each other. And they all lived Happily Ever After!" (Daisy finished. Some were crying happy tears; some were cheering loudly in excitement, and some were clapping happily.
Audience: That was awesome. Such a romantic and epic play. I love Aqua and Kamechika. Yeah, they're such a cute and wonderful couple. (Each from the audience exclaimed. The play was a success.)
[Cerulean City – Kanto]
(Once the autographing and audience left for home or work, the Raging Gyarados were outside at the Cerulean Gym's entrance facing the Sensational Sisters. While they converse, the police arrived and arrested the handcuffed Team Rocket Grunts.)
Daisy: Despite the face we were, like, ambushed by Team Rocket, the play was such a success. You Raging Gyarados have our thanks for your assistance. (Daisy exclaimed.
Violet: Yeah, but let's not forget our little mermaid here for shown us all that she can be both beautiful and strong. (Violet said while hugging her touched sister in a thankful way.)
Lily: Oh! And don't worry, we contacted Dr. Sakuma and he has already installed your PC Boxes each. (Lily answered. The Raging Gyarados cheered excitedly. Daisy approached them carrying a tray.)
Daisy: Also, he wanted us to give you all these stones. (Daisy added. The Raging Gyarados turned their attention to the items on the tray. While Alejandro and Heather were confused, Noah and Daisuke were surprised, and Kayoko was speechless to see the tray containing five Mega Stones and five Key Stones. The first column of Mega Stones were a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, the second column were Blastoisinite, and the last column only had a single Vensaurite.)
Noah Thomas: (Gasped surprisingly) No way! These are Mega Stones! (Noah exclaimed.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Mega Stones? (A confused Alejandro repeated. Kayoko step forth and grabbed the Charizardite X.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Mega Stones are special stones that allow certain Pokémon to reach a new transformation known Mega Evolution. (Kayoko explained. Noah grabbed the Vensaurite)
Noah Thomas: It is a transformation because once the battle is over or if a Pokémon faints, they'll revert back to their pre-Mega Evolved forms. (Noah explains furthered. Daisuke grabbed the first Blastoisinite.)
Daisuke Umizawa: However, it's not as easy as it sounds. For Mega Evolution to work, you need to first have your Pokémon fully evolve, then develop a strong bond between you and the Pokémon that can Mega Evolve and once you placed these items on the Pokémon they're meant for, they can finally Mega Evolve which changes not only their forms, but types, stats and ability during battle. (Daisuke finished. This information astonished Alejandro and Heather.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Madre de Dios!? (Alejandro mustered. Soon, Alejandro got the Charizardite Y and Heather got the Blastoisinite. They also got their Key Stones. Misty and Daisuke were exchanging their phone numbers.)
Heather Hamilton: Still, there's one thing I don't get? Chosokabe Kamechika? Where did you get that? (Heather asked.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: I must agree with my novia. Back in the world where we come from, Chosokabe is a surname belonging to an aristocrats clan once known as the Chosokabe clan that originated from Kochi Prefecture and briefly ruled the island of Shikoku until their downfall in June 1615. Their most notable member was the 21st head and daimyo of Tosa, Chosokabe Motochika. (Alejandro explained. Daisuke coughed to catch their attention.)
Daisy: Actually Daisuke was the one who, like, gave us the idea for the Hero Prince and his name based on his lineage. (Daisy answered.)
Noah Thomas: Wait? Lineage!? (Noah asked in curiosity. Daisuke sighed.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Believe it or not, my family are descended from Chosokabe Motochika. We originally came from Kochi until my grandfather settled down on Shinagawa. (Daisuke explained. He turned to frown, sadden that he has to go to his next destination. Misty shared the same expression but turned it into a small smile and touched his right cheek.)
Misty: Hey now. Don't be upset. I know you need to go and continued your journey and to win the next challenge. (Misty said understanding her boyfriend's situation. Daisuke turned his frown into a small smile. They shared a kiss and they let go.)
Daisuke Umizawa: I'll keep in touch. When I reached Celadon City, let me take you out for dinner. (Daisuke said. Misty smiles kindly.)
Misty: I'll be waiting. (Misty said.)
Heather Hamilton (Off-Screen): Hey! Daisuke! Hurry UP! We need to catch up with those Charizard losers! (Heather screamed. Despite this, Daisuke chuckled kindly.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Like family, you can't always choose your teammates, but… one way or another, you can't help grown attach to them. (Daisuke commented. Misty giggled while her sisters laughs kindly at how true the statement is. Daisuke ran fast, catching up with his teammates.)
Chris McLean (Narrator): Six Mega Stones and Five Mega Stones have finally been given to our remaining contestants. Will the Gyarados catch up to the Charizard at Vermillion. Will Cody's training finally help Charmander get stronger and unleashed its fiery breath? And having witnessed the strength of both sub-teams, how will Team Rocket's views of them will change and approach toward them? These are serious questions, but just stay tune for the next episode of TOTAL… DRAMA…. POKÉMON ADVENTURE! As the journey continues. (Chris finished.)

[Preview]
Cody Anderson: Yeah! Now with Jacob gone and out of our lives, Charmander will be a good addition to our team. (Cody expressed.)
Cody's Charmander: (Yeah! You were right, Cody. Jacob wasn't a worthy Trainer to follow, but you are.) (Charmander said in gratitude.)
Charcha (Akina's Charmander): (Not to mention, I'm so happy you get to join and travel with us, darling!) (Charcha said cheerfully.)
Akina Sakata: I'm so happy that you've completed your Starter Pokémon entries, Cody-kun! (Akina compliments.)
Tatsumi Akeito: You know what they say, like Trainer, like Pokémon. (Tatsumi commented.)
Heather Hamilton: Come on, team! We need to hurry and catch up to the Charizard! (Heather barked.)
Noah Thomas: You do realize you're our team leader!? (Noah reminds.)
Heather Hamilton: You have some nerves! (Heather replied annoyed.)
Kayoko Ashioku: Unfortunately, Noah's correct. Our team leader is Daisuke since we took a vote and me, Noah and Alejandro voted for him. (Kayoko answered.)
Heather: Hamilton: What!? Kayoko… (Heather complained.)
Alejandro Burromuerto: Lo siento, amor. Even if I need to see the bigger picture and we need to someone who could remain neutral and make the wiser choices. (Alejandro admits.)
Heather Hamilton: (Growls irritated) Fine. (Heather agreed begrudgingly.)
Daisuke & Natsuko: Next time on Total Drama Pokémon Adventure Episode 006 – Drill Sergeant Raichu! (They announced simultaneously.)
Natsuko Bushimori: In this duel, I shall show you the true power of the katana! (Natsuko declared.)
Daisuke Umizawa: Not if I pierce through and blow away your blade with the full trained marksmanship I have with the gun! (Daisuke declared back!)
Greetings everybody! I have finally finished this episode. It took me two weeks or 15 days, but I have gotten it done and have reformat all my episodes to have a total of either 55 or 65 pages. 55 pages for story and non-eliminating episodes, while the 56 pages will be about the elimination battles. I am thinking about the idea for when each region reaches the Elite Four, I may or may not limit it to 45 or 50 pages as a two-part for each saga. However, if I'm being realistic, it is better to add more parts for each of the characters of this series. Also for the revision of the first episode, I would like to clarify that I mean no disrespect to Japan and its culture. In feudal times, to keep their noble and the Emperor's royal lineages proud and pure, they would somedays arrange for their offspring to marry distant relatives. Also the information about Kunimatsu and Nene's child with Hideyoshi are purely fanon. I would like to believe there are still survivors of the Toyotomi bloodline out there. For me, on my mother's side, there are millions of Castillos out there, not just in the US but in Latin America as well. Plus, now all but Anne Maria, has a Mega Stone for their Starter Pokémon once they reached their finale evolutions.
Furthermore, as you can see, The Mermaid Princess and the Hero Prince are a homage of the Little Mermaid and legendary heroes of Japanese folktales. If you want to know, I prefer the Disney version over the original. Not only that but I must also inform you that Chosokabe Motochika's fanon descendants are Daisuke Umizawa, his sister Masago, their father and grandfather. However, their female ancestor was Motochika's concubine Koshosho through their daughter Kozaisho.
As for Team Rocket, jeez, now that they suffered a second defeat and by the dysfunctional Raging Gyarados no less, one can only imagine just what kind of scheming will they come up to countermeasure Team Kanto. Fortunately each sub-teams have teammates who had played the video games and they'll be ready.
