Episode 20: Surpass 'em All

After a massive episode we just had, here's one a little more simple. Man. We're down to the final eight. Can't believe we've made it this far. Just a handful of people left

Also, this story now has a TV Tropes page. Thanks goes to those that contributed to it. Hope to see more get added to it. That means a lot.

TheMasterKat: I hope that Tari is avenged. But yeah, Katakuri can get terrifying when he's really mad. He tries to stay calm and focused all the time to make sure this doesn't happen, but DIO's getting to him. All in all, he's a sympathetic guy.

1602jaw: I'm glad that you were impressed by the last chapter.

MasterSaixus: As a One Piece fan, I'm glad I could let Perona make a cameo. But DIO honestly could've picked anyone to eliminate. Guess he just wanted to spite Edward.

N8han11: This surely was another turning point for the story. I just love to put in lots of cameos. I plan to do more in the future.

ortizale317: I'm pretty sure it will all work out somehow.

MonkeyBot54: It surely was emotional. And the heats really gonna turn up now.

that guy: Nice job figuring out it was King Boo early on. DIO's safe, but he's running out of options.

Puzzlefan 123: DIO does not know the meaning of subtle.

Happiness studios: Thanks for the tips. That really helps. I'll try and tone down the number of confessionals a little bit.

ThelastCyberKnight: Don't worry about not reviewing right away. And you won't be disappointed with this challenge.

NeverSafeFromWaluigi: Yes, it's all coming together nicely. We're nearing the endgame, so anything is possible.

Now let's get to some Pokemon battling!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite, everyone was dead focused on a creepy hunt through a scary castle. One by one, many of them fell victim to King Boo and his goons. Katakuri's hate for DIO is starting to bring out repressed rage from him, worrying his friends. But in the climactic showdown, Tari defeated King Boo, and gave the win to Edward. But DIO blindsided them all by rigging the votes to eliminate Tari. And now Cinder has had enough of DIO, and plans to show him who's top dog. But who's gonna top who? And which of them will move on to the final seven? Find out today on Total Drama Infinite!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It's been two days since Tari's elimination. And morale couldn't have been lower.

Inside the boy's cabin, Katakuri and Edward were sitting in there looking glum.

Ed was messing around with some rocks he gathered. He was transmuting them into different shapes. He finally settled on making it into A little statue that looked like Tari.

This just made him sigh.

Katakuri was laying in his bed. (Well, as best as he could. His limbs were draped over it due to his huge size)

But the pirate was deep in thought about what he's been through throughout the entire game. He came to terms with and finally decided to be himself, made good friends, and even found love.

But he thought about how he's been trying to protect his friends, but failed time and time again. First it was Susie, then Deadpool, then Edgeworth, and now Tari. Each of those one after the other. And most of it was caused by one man.

He didn't know what could happen next, or what surprises awaited them.

That is, until there was a knock at the door.

Getting up and answering it, Katakuri and Edward were surprised to see Cinder there.

"What do you want?!" Edward asked.

"Get your little group together." Cinder told them. "We need to talk."

A bit surprised and reluctant, they go to the girls' cabin and rounds up Charlie and Wendy.

"Okay," Charlie asked. "What's all of this about?"

"It's about DIO." Cinder told them. "First off, let me tell you I had nothing to do with his little stunt with the votes the other day. As a matter of fact, I voted for him."

Now that caught them off guard.

"Really?" Wendy asked. "I was pretty sure that the two of you have been working together."

"Yes, but I've come to the point where I can't take his crap anymore. I only joined him for the sole purpose of running this game, but I've hit my limit with him. That's why I come to you all with a proposition. I say we work together to eliminate DIO."

"Oh really?" Katakuri asked skeptically. "And why should we trust you?"

Cinder just sighed and decided to give it to them straight. "Let's get one thing straight. I hate you all. But I hate DIO even more."

"Yeah? Well, all want a piece of him." Edward said. "So get in line."

"Hey, it's not my fault he eliminated that girl!" Cinder snapped. "Tari is gone. There is nothing you can do about it. Get. Over. It."

Ed was about to fly off at the mouth, but Charlie gave him a look and shook her head no. It wasn't worth it. So he just kept his mouth shut and continued to listen.

"As I was saying, we need to work together to get rid of that bloodsucker." Cinder said, getting right back on topic. "But don't get the wrong idea. I'm not joining your little alliance, I'm simply working with you guys. And once he's gone, all bets are off. Things go back to the way they used to be. I'll make sure to eliminate all of you, but DIO is public enemy number one. This may be the only way to stop him. So…..do we have a deal?"

Now this was quite bizarre. Cinder came to them and asked that they work together. Nothing could get weirder than that.

"You know what?" Charlie said. I'm in."

"Me too." Wendy said.

"Fine." Edward huffed. "But I'm not doing it for your sake. I'm doing it for Tari. I promised DIO would pay. Whether it's by myself or with you guys, then I'm fine with it."

Everyone looked at Katakuri, who had said very little about all of this. Should he trust an enemy? After all DIO has done, start working with his most trusted confidante? But if it means getting rid of DIO once and for all, then what the hell?

"Fine." Katakuri said. "You've got yourself a deal." He then turns to look at Cinder. "But if you double cross us, or try any funny business, then this deal is off. You will be blasted through that cannon faster than you can blink. Are we clear?"

"Crystal." Cinder said, as they both shook on it, sealing the deal. "For now, I'm going to act like I'm still loyal to DIO. I'll be a better eyes and ears than Deadpool ever was. Out of all of us, he trusted me the most."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is a risky gambit." Katakuri said. "But it very well may be our best shot. But I still got my eye on her."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I hate that I had to sink low enough to ask these guys for help." Cinder said. "But I don't have a lot of options. DIO will never expect anything from me."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

DIO couldn't have been happier. As he was sitting there on his side of the cabin reading, there was a lot on his mind. He's been on a crazy winning streak. Even though it was just him and Cinder left in their alliance, they were probably one of the longest lasting alliances in the show's history.

They took out many strong opponents, disposed of allies that dare betray him, and taught everyone who opposed him a lesson in what it meant to face someone who outclassed you in everything. Even after his most recent stunt of messing with the votes, it's surprising he didn't get in trouble for it. But it'd probably be risky to do that a second time.

But ever since then, something was bugging him. When he was switching the votes, he noticed that everyone voted for him, including Cinder. Had he not done this, his elimination would've been guaranteed. But what compelled her to do it? Maybe she did it to save herself, because he would've done the same if the roles were reversed.

"Why, indeed?" DIO asked himself, closing his book. "Out of all of them, you've always been by my side. It'd break my heart if you of all people tried to turn against me."

Or maybe he's just overthinking it. She was different from those other losers. But before he could think any further, the intercom came on.

"Okay, everyone!" Chris said. "Meet at the arena where the fighting challenge was held! It's time to prove who's the very best, like no one ever was!"

"Why, that's me, of course." DIO said. "But I guess it's high time I prove to those plebs why I am."

(Ugh, can this guy's ego get any bigger?)

(Five Minutes later….)

Finally, the final eight were at the arena, but it looked a bit different. For one, it was bigger, and instead of looking like a simple platform and more of a stadium.

"Oh wow!" Wendy exclaimed at the sight of the new arena.

"You have to give it to him." Geralt said. "When Chris wants to go all out, he does a good job of it."

"And don't you forget it." Chris bragged. "Today's challenge will be a pretty fun one. Before I explain any further, I must ask you all a question. How many of you are familiar with the game of Pokemon?"

Most of them raised their hands. During their time here, they all may have heard a bit about it at one point or another, or have a basic understanding of it.

"It's that game about battling with monsters, right?" Katakuri asked.

"Right you are, Katakuri." Chris said. "Today, you will all be engaging in a one on one Pokemon tournament. You will each be given a Pokemon and fight each other through a tournament bracket. You will only use your Pokemon, and none of your powers are allowed. When you lose the battle, you lose the challenge. You work your way up the bracket until there's two of you left. The one who wins that final round wins immunity. And as an added reward, the winner gets to keep their Pokemon."

"Now that sounds really exciting!" Spinel exclaimed.

"For simple minded fools such as you, I'm not surprised." DIO said. "Personally, I think this is just childish."

"Hey, it's loved by people all over the world, and by every age group!"

"Well, where are they?" Charlie asked. "I want to actually meet a real live Pokemon."

"We got you covered." Chris said. The host snaps his fingers and the Ginyu Force come out carrying a large treasure chest. "I sent the Ginyu Force to the world of Pokemon and had them catch as many of them as possible. They will also make sure to heal your Pokemon up after a fight is over."

Upon opening the chest, everyone sees a whole pile of red and white spherical balls.

"Here's your Pokeballs. Each of you will line up and pick one. Your Pokemon is inside Whatever is inside is what you'll fight with."

Each of them line up and each grab a random Pokeball.

"So….. what do I do now?" Katakuri asked.

"You throw the ball and call it out." Ginyu answered. "Give it a try."

"Alright, here we go." Charlie said. The demon tosses the ball up in the air. "Whatever you are, come on out!"

Her ball opens up, and from it, emerges a majestic Pokemon that looked like a cross between a sea lion and a mermaid. It had a pink nose and long blue hair held by pearls.

"It's beautiful." Charlie gasped.

"Yes." Ginyu told her. "That is the water and fairy type Pokemon Primarina."

"Well, it's good to meet you." Charlie said, petting her new partner. Primarina lets out a happy and melodic cry.

"Alright, my turn!" Edward said as he tossed his Pokeball up. Emerging from it was a large simian Pokemon with a round body and white shaggy fur. It had shackles around its wrists and ankles, and had a pig-like snout. And it looked to be in a really agitated mood.

As soon as Ed made eye contact with it, the Pokemon began chasing after him in a rage filled frenzy.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?!" Edward screamed as he was running for his life.

"That's Primeape." Ginyu said. "A fighting type Pokemon that is quick to anger. But the angrier they are, the stronger they become."

Ed quickly pushes the button on his Pokeball and Primeape goes back inside.

"Looks like this thing is going to be hard to handle." Ed said through short breaths.

"Guess I'm up, then." Cinder said. She throws her Pokeball and is shown to have a moth like Pokemon with white fur and flaming orange wings.

"Here we have the bug and fire type Volcarona." Ginyu explained. "They're rare and pretty hard to come by.

Cinder just smirks. "Then it's perfect for me."

"Me next! Me next!" Spinel said. Out of her Pokeball emerges a small, amorphous, pink blob with a simple mouth and beady eyes.

"Ooh!" Spinel picked it up and was stretching it out. "It's really squishy like me."

"That's Ditto. Its body allows it to turn unto an exact replica of any object, person, or Pokemon."

And to prove it, Ditto turns into an exact replica of Spinel. Except it still had the smile and beady eyes, but other than that, it was her to the last detail.

"Amazing!" Spinel exclaimed. The gem and her doppelganger were then moving at the same time in sync. After this, Ditto turns back into its little blob form.

"Lets see what I get." Katakuri said. From his Pokeball came a tiny Pokemon. It's body was hidden under a rag that kind of looked like Pikachu. All that could be seen was small black eyes poking out from holes in the rag.

"Um….what is it?" Katakuri asked. He was about to lift the rag up to see what's under it, until Ginyu stopped him.

"That's not a good idea!" Ginyu told him. "This is Mimikyu, a ghost and fairy type. But please don't look at his true form under the rag. A normal human will physically die from shock just from the sight of it. Or at the least fall I'll. Jeice already made that mistake."

Looking over at where he was gesturing, Jeice was seen on the ground in a fetal position in a cold sweat.

"Never again…" Jeice muttered. "I never want to see true hell again."

"Alright, I won't look! I get it." Katakuri said. The pirate then takes out a donut and gives it to Mimikyu to try and bond with it.

"Here, little guy. I get it. You're scary to look at. And so am I. Together, I think we'll work great."

Mimikyu looks at him a little hesitant, but a black amorphous claw comes out and grabs the sweet treat. The hand goes back under the rag, and munching sounds could be heard.

"I think we'll get along just fine."

"I hope I get something good." Wendy said hopefully. Out of her Pokeball came a large, bulky, draconic Pokemon with light orange skin. It had small wings on its back, and a little horn poking out of its head. The dragon picked her up and gave her a big hug.

"Ack! You're crushing me!" Wendy said as it had a strong grip on her. Hearing her pained cries, it lets go of her and puts the mage down.

"Ah, that's a really good one." Ginyu told Wendy. "That's a Dragonite. It's a dragon and flying type. They're rare, but very powerful and reliable."

Wendy looks up at Dragonite. "Sorry if I sounded rude. I think you're pretty amazing."

Crying out with joy, Dragonite gave her a pat on the head. These two seem to hit it off easier than everyone else.

"Hmph." DIO scoffed. "Just a bunch of these cutesy little monsters. I need one that's fitting for a god like me."

But what DIO got from his Pokeball shocked everyone. His Pokemon was huge. It was a dark blue Pokemon with a steel chestplate, claws, and armor. And it gave off a presence that was violent and commanding.

"My, you seem strong." DIO said. "Question, what's this one?"

"T-that's….. Dialga." Burter stuttered.

"Well?! Is it strong?!"

"That's a legendary Pokemon." Guldo said. "It's the only one ever, and it's the living embodiment of time itself."

Everyone gasps at this.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Edward yelled. "He basically has the power of a god on his side!

How fair is that?!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Why did you guys even catch that thing?!" Katakuri asked.

"We were just catching different ones at random." Ginyu explained. "Besides, there's hundreds of them in there. The odds that he'd get that one are astronomical."

"Well, this makes it all the more easy for me." DIO said. "I'm the only one here with a legendary Pokemon."

"Are you sure about that?" Geralt said.

Everyone looked to see the Pokemon Geralt got, and this got the same reaction as DIO's. It was a large cyan colored wolf with winged armor. But the most notable feature was the golden sword it carried in its mouth. But it had more of a regal and majestic air about it.

"That's Zacian." Ginyu said. "And it's in its Crowned Sword form. It's a fairy and steel type that was a hero in ancient times."

"Seems you're not the only one with a legendary monster at your side." Geralt said bluntly.

DIO looked very mad at this revelation. It looked as though he may have to try extra hard if he's gonna beat Geralt and his Zacian. That'd be the real problem.

"Great!" Chris exclaimed. Now that everyone has their Pokemon picked we can get down to the best part: the battles!"

Above the arena, there was an electronic board that had pictures of each of the competitors arranged like a tournament bracket.

"After the first round of fights, four will move on to the semifinals. And then the last two after that will face each other in the final round."

"Also," Ginyu added. "You'll need these."

Each of them is handed a small slip of paper that lists the attacks that each of their Pokemon knows.

"Now, let's get the first match started." Chris said. "According to the board, the first match will be Spinel vs. Wendy."

The two stare at each other with a look of determination as they step up to the arena.

"Here's to a good battle." Spinel said. "Even if I have no experience in Pokemon."

Wendy nodded. "Right. Okay Dragonite, are you ready?"

Dragonite looks back at Wendy and nods at her.

"You ready, Ditto?"

Ditto forms a small hand and gives Spinel a thumbs up.

Are both trainers ready?!" Chris asked. "Then let the fight….BEGIN!"

"Alright, Ditto! Transform!"

Following her orders, Ditto turns into a near perfect replica of Dragonite.

"Okay!" Wendy said. "Dragonite, use Dragon Dance!"

Dragonite begins to spin round and around until his body is glowing with energy. This gave a boost to Dragonite's speed and attack.

"Ditto, do the same thing!" Spinel said.

Ditto then spun around and now got that extra boost that Dragonite got.

"Now!" Wendy said. "Dragon Claw!"

Dragonite manages to land a crushing slash on Ditto, but the transforming Pokemon shrugged it off easily.

"Use Dragon Claw as well!"

Ditto then does the same thing to Dragonite, and hits even harder than his, being a super effective hit.

"This isn't looking good." Wendy thought. "He took a devastating hit from that thing. Guess Dragon type attacks are greatly useful against another Dragon."

While the battle was going on

"Want to place bets?" DIO said. "I bet that little girl is going to get utterly wrecked."

"You're wrong." Katakuri told him. "I can see the outcome of this match. And I can tell that Wendy and her Pokemon make a great team. Even though they've only just met they have a great bond."

A moment later, Katakuri looks down to see Mimikyu tugging at his leg. It was still hungry.

"Seems you like me just for my snacks." Katakuri joked. He took out another donut and gave it to her. Mimikyu gobbled it up and let out a happy hiss.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Even me and Mimikyu get along well." Katakuri said. "DIO doesn't get that. Even if you have the strongest Pokemon in the world, it's still nothing compared to the both of you sharing a strong bond. And that's coming from someone who's never met them until today."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Lets finish this quickly before it gets ugly" Wendy said. "Dragonite, use Draco Meteor!"

The sky went dark as huge meteors fell from space, bombarding Ditto. (It didn't cause any collateral damage)

When the smoke clears, everyone sees Ditto turned back to normal, but laying on the ground defeated.

"Ditto is unable to continue!" Chris said. "Wendy and her Dragonite move on to the semifinals!"

"We did it!" Wendy cheers. Dragonite replied by hugging her.

"A little too tight, but I'm glad you're just as happy as I am."

"Man, what a bummer." Spinel said, returning Ditto to its Pokeball. "Just imagine all the fun we could have had with your transforming ability. Still, you did good. And so did you, Wendy."

"Thanks. Ditto did good too."

After stepping down from the platform, Spinel reluctantly puts her Pokeball back with the others.

"Maybe I'll find you again someday in the future."

While Wendy was getting Dragonite healed up, Chris was ready to start the next fight.

"For our next match, it will be DIO vs Edward."

Ed looked at the Pokeball in his hand. It was shaking violently from inside.

"Lets just hope this thing can put that energy to good use." Ed said, sounding worried.

"Me? Against that stupid monkey?" DIO scoffed. "Guess you better get to taste defeat, runt. Just like your girlfriend did."

"I'm gonna make you eat those words!" Ed yelled.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is personal." Ed said. "Payback will be great."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Both of them step up to the battlefield and bring out Dialga and Primeape. Primeape looks at Dialga like it wants to give it a beatdown. Dialga didn't look worried one bit. It had that look of cockiness and swagger that DIO carried.

"Let the second match commence!"

"You know what?" DIO said. "Ill let you throw the first hit. Go ahead. Take a swing."

"Are you serious?" Ed asked skeptically. "What are you planning?"

"I just want to see what your stupid little Pokemon can do. It'd leave a bad taste in my mouth if I curbstomp you without giving you a chance to at least try."

"It's your funeral, then. I have the type advantage. Primeape, Close Combat!"

Primeape rushes up to Dialga and begins landing a heavy rush of punches at an alarmingly fast rate. It seems to do a fair bit of damage, since fighting is super effective against steel.

But Dialga survived the hit, and was ready to retaliate.

"Pitiful." DIO said. "Dialga, use Flash Cannon!"

Opening its mouth, Dialga fires out a laser beam of light towards Primeape, but it's inability to sit still helped it dodge the blast.

"Nani?!"

"See that?" Ed bragged. "All that talk, and you can't lay a hit. Primeape, use Thrash!"

Primeape flails its limbs at Dialga, but this attack didn't do much damage.

"Keep going!"

Primeape keeps flailing and thrashing until it gets tired and confused from it.

"Come on!" Ed cried. "Focus!"

"DIO then began to give off a fake yawn. "Are you done? Because I think it's long overdue for my turn. Dialga, use Roar of Time."

The spikes on Dialga's back unfold, and the diamond on its chest as the legendary Pokemon lets out a mighty roar from its mouth. Primeape is hit with a beam that seems to distort time itself. Primeape took a lot of damage from it, and it didn't help that's defenses were lowered.

After the attack ended, Primeape was laying on the ground defeated.

"And after a devastating defeat, DIO moves on to the next round!" Chris announced.

"Goddamn it!" Ed yelled, pounding the ground in frustration. "He was seriously trying to make Primeape tire itself out!"

"Thanks for stating the obvious." DIO told him. "But it doesn't change the fact that I move on and you lose the challenge. You know, for trying to avenge your friends, you're doing a really poor job."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Every venomous word that spews from his mouth is making me more and more pissed. Makes me want to strangle him." Katakuri growled. But he then realized how he was acting. "No. What am I saying? Keep calm. Just keep…..calm."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey, it's okay." Wendy said, trying to comfort Ed. "You did great, regardless. And I'm sure Tari would be proud of you."

"Well I'm not proud of myself." Ed replied. "But I at least hope someone can win against him today. Even if he's got an unfair advantage."

"Don't get too comfy." Chris told them. "It's time for the next match! And the opponents will be Katakuri vs Cinder."

"Hm. Should be interesting." Katakuri said, looking at his opponent. Though the both of them are secretly working together to stop DIO, that didn't mean he'd go easy on her.

"I hope you're ready." Cinder said as they both got to their positions. "Or else your Pokemon will be burnt to a crisp."

Volcarona shows off in front of them by flapping its wings, creating flaming scales of dust. Mimikyu simply hisses at the oversized bug.

"You're just feisty, aren't you?" Katakuri asked Mimikyu.

"This match looks like it's shaping up to be a good one." Chris said. "Let the battle begin!"

Katakuri was ready to take the initiative and act quickly. "Mimikyu, use Shadow Sneak!"

Shadows emerge from under Volcarona, and begin to wrap around it and constrain it.

"Volcarona! Fiery Dance!"

The bug Pokemon tries to flap its wings, burning the shadows with flames generated from the flapping. This helped it break free from the shadowy constraints.

"Mimikyu, Shadow Claw!"

A black, amorphous claw comes out from the rag and slashes Volcarona.

"Hurricane!"

Flapping its wings again, Volcarona hits Mimikyu with a massive wind storm. It looked as though Mimikyu got hurt really bad, but when the attack ended, the top half of the disguise breaks and plops to the side.

"What?!" Cinder cried.

"Guess those rags of yours do come in handy." Katakuri said. "Now, Mimikyu! Phantom Force!"

Mimikyu then vanishes like a spirit, and no one can spot him.

"Quick!" Cinder said. "Quiver Dance!"

Volcarona spins around, giving itself a speed and power boost in preparation. But Mimikyu reappears behind it and slashes at it with his claws.

"Use Fiery Dance!"

Now Volcarona whips up its wings again, and flings them to Mimikyu. The little Pokemon manages to dodge most of the flame, but one small bit of it caught on its rag. That little part catches on fire, and Mimikyu tries to put it out.

Seeing that part of disguise was burnt away, Mimikyu was now so mad it could scream. Normally, they try to keep their disguise perfect and without holes or tears. Even Katakuri sensed the rage within him, and it reminded him of his little rage blackout the other day. Like trainer, like Pokemon.

Mimikyu jumps into the air, and the bottom of its rag opens up wide, and traps Volcarona within it.

"What's it doing?!" Spinel asked.

"I don't know." Charlie said. "Didn't Ginyu say that it's very dangerous to see what it looks like underneath?"

"Then i feel very sorry for that thing right now." Geralt said.

All they could see was the rag rustling and bumbling around as Mimikyu was doing something to the poor Volcarona underneath.

A minute later, Volcarona is released from the attack, and everyone sees the results of the horror it faced. Volcarona was on the ground, twitching and devoid of color. Looks like Mimikyu somehow put into shock, and Volcarona suffered a cruel death. They could even see Volcarona's soul leaving its body and ascending to the afterlife.

"Looks like Volcarona is unable to continue." Chris said, a little disturbed like everyone else was at that moment. "But anyway, Katakuri wins."

"What is wrong with that thing?!" Cinder exclaimed. "Volcarona is dead because of that monster!"

"I don't know." Katakuri said, returning Mimikyu to its Pokeball. "Seems he got a little too excited."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Or mad." Katakuri said. "Guess he wasn't too keen on getting his disguise a bit destroyed. I just hope this doesn't happen in the next round."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(At Playa de Losers…)

All of the losers were gathered around the TV watching the fights going on.

"That can't be good." Dororo said with worry in her voice. "His Mimikyu was acting like he was in the castle."

"Like trainer, like Pokemon, I presume." Tari said.

"Are we just going to ignore the fact that DIO basically might just win this match?!" Susie told them. "He's got a literal God of time at his side!"

"I can't bear to see this go on any longer." The King said. He took out his Dinner Blaster and aimed it at TV.

"Come on! Don't break another TV!" Nicole said.

"If anyone's going to be breaking stuff around here, it's me!" Deadpool said.

"He's not the only one with a strong legendary Pokemon at his side." Mercy said, interrupting their little squabble.

"Oh, that's right!" Popo said. "Geralt has that big wolf thingy on his side. If anyone's got as equal a shot at winning, then it's him."

"Speaking of which, it looks like he's up next." 18 told them.

(Back in the game….)

"Now, for the last fight of the first round, it's Geralt vs Charlie." Chris said

"I hope you'll be a worthy opponent for me." Geralt deadpanned, as they walked up to the arena. "Show me what the heir to the throne of Hell has got."

Charlie smiled. "Will do."

Throwing their Pokeballs, Zacian and Primarina come out.

"3….. 2…. 1…. Fight!"

"Primarina, use Hydro Pump!"

Primarina blasts a huge volume of water out of her mouth and barrages Zacian with it.

"Hm. A nice move." Geralt compliments. "But now I must see what my Pokemon is capable of. Zacian, use Play Rough."

Zacian claws at Primarina and roughs her up.

"Now, Moonblast!"

Primarina fires out a large ball of fairy energy towards Zacian, but the crowned sword hero tanks the hit and shrugs it off.

"I expected better." Geralt said. "Zacian, use Sacred Sword!"

Primarina is slashed with Zacian's sword, but it didn't seem to hurt Primarina much either.

"Come on." Charlie said. "What was that you said about expecting strong attacks? Alright, Primarina. Use another Hydro Pump!"

After another blast of water, it seemed as though Zacian was looking like it was about to faint.

"Looks like my back is against the wall." Geralt said with worry. He needed to end it fast. Looking at his move list, one of the moves caught the witcher's eye.

"Zacian, use Behemoth Blade!"

With its eyes going wide from what it just heard. The sword in its mouth begins to glow and become bigger, even bigger than Katakuri. Primarina is then honorably defeated with the most epic slash you could imagine.

"Primarina is unable to continue!" Chris announced. "Geralt is the final contestant to move on to the semifinals!"

"Wow. That was strong." Charlie said with shock as she was returning Primarina. "You must have a really good bond with Zacian."

"No. It's not that." Geralt answered. "I try not to get too attached to any creatures I use. I've had many horses at my side, and give them all the same name because of that. Me and Zacian are just strictly getting the job done."

Here's a little refresher on the four who move on to the next round. Wendy, DIO, Katakuri, and Geralt would be going to the next round.

"Congrats to the four of you for moving to the penultimate round." Chris said. "But after this round, we'll be down to two of you."

The four remaining Pokemon trainers give each other a look of determination.

"Looks like we're gonna really need to try extra hard to win." Katakuri said to Wendy. "I hope you're ready."

"Good for you two." Chris told them. "Because this next match will be Katakuri vs Wendy!"

"What?!" They exclaimed.

"Guess that means you'll be my opponent, then." DIO said to Geralt. "I'm looking forward to it."

"Wait….you'll be my opponent?!" Wendy asked Katakuri. "I don't know if I'd stand a chance against you."

"Don't doubt yourself." Katakuri said. "Just give it your best shot. Let this be a test to show me your capabilities."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I don't know." Wendy said with doubt. "Even after all he's taught me, I don't think I'd win. But then again, it is just Pokemon battling."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Wendy and Katakuri both take their positions and send out their Pokemon.

"Just so you know, I won't be pulling any punches." Katakuri said. "I expect you to do the same. No matter what happens, I'm hoping this is a good fight."

"Um….y-yeah." Wendy said. "Ill give it my best!"

"Chris, you're about to ask if we're ready." Katakuri said, seeing the future. "And yes. We're both ready."

"You two ready?" Chris asked, but then realized what just happened. "Would you not do that? That's just freaky. Anyway, let the fight begin!"

"Dragonite, use Dragon Dance!"

Dragonite spins around to grant him a boost to speed and power.

"You leave yourself wide open!" Katakuri said. "Mimikyu, use Play Rough!"

Mimikyu then begins to roughly pummel Dragonite around. Since fairy beats dragon, Dragonite was taking heavy damage.

"Now, Dragonite! Use Fire Punch!"

Dragonite coats his fist in flames and punches Mimikyu. But it took no damage as it only broke the top half of the disguise.

"Well played." Katakuri compliments. "You need to get through the disguise first if you're gonna do any real damage. Mimikyu, use Play Rough again!"

And so Mimikyu pummels Dragonite again. It wasn't looking good for Dragonite.

"Don't give up, Dragonite!" Wendy cried. "Use Iron Tail!"

Dragonite's tail is coated in metal, and he slams Mimikyu with it. Not only did Mimikyu get hurt really bad, but it's disguise got torn again.

"K-k-k-k-kyuuuuuuu!" Mimikyu growled, twitching with fury.

"Not again…" Katakuri groaned.

Mimikyu's claws come out, and wrap around Dragonite. Despite his small size, his claws are deceptively long. Mimikyu lifts Dragonite up and slams him on the ground and forth, over and over.

"Kyu! Kyu! Kyu! Kyu!" Mimikyu screeched as he was swinging Dragonite around like a rag doll.

"It's doing it again." Spinel said.

"Isn't that just great?" Cinder snarked. "Looks like another Pokemon is gonna die."

"Mimikyu, enough!" Katakuri snapped.

"Come on, Dragonite! Break free!" Wendy cried.

Dragonite was trying to break free of Mimikyu's ghostly grasp, but it was a struggle.

"Please!" Wendy said. "I know you can break free!"

"Mimikyu! Let….go….. NOW!"

With that yell, Katakuri let out a burst of Conquerors Haki, knocking almost everyone there on their feet. Mimikyu immediately drop Dragonite from his grip. But Mimikyu felt an even scarier presence exerting its dominance over it. Turning around, the Pokemon saw Katakuri giving him a death glare.

"When I say stop... you stop!" Katakuri said with a sounding boom.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Can this guy get any scarier?" Spinel said. "He's like a monster himself."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nodding in fear, Mimikyu returned his attention to the battle. But he noticed Dragonite flying up high in the air.

"Now we can end this!" Wendy said. "Dragonite, finish this with Iron Tail!"

Dragonite coats its tail in metal again, and flies down at Mimikyu at supersonic speed. Before he could react, Dragonite slams Mimikyu so hard that he's left in a small crater in the ground.

"And Mimikyu is down for the count!" Chris said. "Which means Wendy wins, and will advance to the final round.

"We did it, Dragonite!" Wendy cheered. "We won!" She then returns Dragonite to his Pokeball. "Let's get you patched up."

"I must say…" Katakuri said as he was returning Mimikyu to his Pokeball. "You did good. Even though Mimikyu got a little too riled up, you still managed to pull through and take the win. I guess in the end, you and your Pokemon just had a better bond. You made me proud today."

"Thanks." Wendy said sheepishly.

"I honestly think you have a good chance at winning this challenge."

"Get real." DIO scoffed. "It was luck that helped her win. Besides, she has to contend with me."

"Don't forget that before all of that, you'll have to contend with me." Geralt interjected.

"Indeed he shall." Chris said. "Because your all's match is starting right now."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A battle between legendary Pokemon, huh?" Edward said. "Might be the most interesting fight of the day."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"DIO and Geralt take their spots and send out their legendary mons. Both Dialga and Zacian stare each other down. Both are immensely strong in their own regard, just like their trainers.

"Today, you will fall." Geralt said to DIO.

"Keep telling yourself that." DIO said. "Look how far I've gotten. If that tells you I'm going down easy, then you're sadly mistaken."

"Let's see if your trash talking is just as good as your battle skills." Chris said. "Let the match commence!"

"Use Slash!" Both opponents said. Dialga and Zacian clash with their claws, creating a loud shockwave. Both Pokemon then try pushing each other, trying to knock the other down.

"To think I'll be facing one of them in the final round." Wendy muttered.

"Dialga, use Flash Cannon!" DIO ordered.

Being up close to each other, Zacian took the whole blast, pushing the Pokemon back.

"Sacred Sword!" Geralt said.

Zacian cuts at Dialga with his sword. Fighting type attacks are useful against steel types, so Dialga took a nasty hit.

"Nice!" Edward exclaimed. "At this rate, it seems like Geralt will win."

"I will not fall to a hit like that!" DIO snapped. "Now check this crap out! Dialga, use Earth Power!"

The ground beneath Zacian begins to erupt and burst open, hurting Zacian considerably.

"You like that? Because there's more that came from!"

"I will not be deterred." Geralt said. "Sacred Sword again!"

Dialga gets slashed yet again.

"If that runt couldn't KO my Pokemon, what makes you think you can?" DIO bragged. "And he even had a type advantage."

"Now! Use Earth Power!"

"Quickly! Use Sacred Sword one more time!"

Both of them scream as their Pokemon rush at each other for one final attack! Dialga is cut, and Zacian is hit with the ground erupting from under it.

After that, both Pokemon were wobbling, each of them ready to drop. Unfortunately, it was Zacian who dropped.

"Unbelievable!" Chris yelled. "After an epic fight like that, it looks as though DIO just barely won! Him and Wendy will be fighting each other in the final match!"

"Damn." Geralt muttered. "I wasn't strong enough."

"Indeed." DIO said. "And my final opponent looks easier to beat than you." As he said this, he was looking over at Wendy with satisfaction. To him, she looked like an easy victory for him.

"Don't get cocky." Katakuri told him. "She's got a lot of skill and talent. And I bet she gets along with her Pokemon better than you do with yours."

"I don't care about my Pokemon." DIO said. "It's simply a means to an end."

"Before we get started with the final match, we're going to give our two Pokemon trainers a five minute break." Chris told them. "Get your Pokemon healed up, and get mentally prepared."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That kid is as good as done when I'm through with her." DIO said. "Geralt came close to winning, that I will admit. But Wendy? Half the time i forget she's still in this game. That's how insignificant she is to me."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You nervous?" Charlie asked Wendy.

"Surprisingly, no." Wendy answered. "I actually feel pretty sure of myself after battling Katakuri."

"You're our last hope, but no pressure." Ed told her.

"You did good against me." Katakuri said. "I'm sure you'll do good. He won't know what hit him."

"Any words of motivation for me?" DIO asked Cinder. "I just want to get pumped up for my curbstomp victory."

Cinder was honestly annoyed with him but still had to keep up her ruse. "Um…. you do you, I guess." She said.

"Well, you gave it a shot."

Cue internal screaming from Cinder.

"Okay, five minutes is up." Chris announced. "Wendy, DIO, it's time to settle this."

"Knock him dead, kid." Katakuri told her.

"Ice that punk!" Spinel cheered.

This feeling felt similar to Wendy. Back in the fighting challenge when she fought against 18. It was a fight she lost, but she tried really hard. It was then when she wanted to get stronger. But now, she felt that she could do this.

After the both of them take their spots, they stare each other down like a western movie. (Cue the music) They were reaching for their Pokeballs like a cowboy reaching for his gun.

"You guys ready to finish this?" Chris asked.

"I'm ready when he is." Wendy said with determination.

"I'm always ready." DIO said.

"Then fight!"

The both of them throw out Dialga and Dragonite. But Wendy wasn't gonna make any of the same mistakes the others did. She was ready to go!

"Dragonite! Use Dragon Rush!"

Dragonite flies up high in the sky, and then divebombs down, slamming into Dialga full force.

"Dialga, use Roar of Time!"

The spikes on Dialga's back unfold, and it's chest diamond glows again. Dialga fires it's laser, hurting Dragonite, but he surprisingly survived the super effective hit.

"Good job, Dragonite! Now power up with Dragon Dance!"

Dragonite spins around like it did earlier, boosting strength and speed.

"It's useless!" DIO yelled. "Dialga, use Roar of Time again!"

But Dialga didn't do anything.

"What's your damage?!" DIO snapped. "Use it! Now!"

Still no attack.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Even though DIO was a smart individual, he didn't know much about Pokemon. And therefore didn't know that after Roar of Time is used, Dialga can't do anything for the next turn.

"Guess he's not the brightest bulb in the box." Ed said. "Now it seems like he's really cornered now."

Indeed they could see the little but noticeable look of worry on DIO's face. Of course, Wendy was ready to take advantage of this opportunity.

"Dragonite, Dragon Rush again!"

So Dragonite flies up and slams into Dialga again.

"Damn it!" DIO seethed. That hit even harder than the first Dragon Rush. But now Dialga recovered, and was ready to rumble once again.

"Now, Dialga! Use Dragon Pulse!"

Dialga shoots out a purple beam from its mouth at Dragonite. Dragonite was looking out of breath, and was getting close to fainting. But so was Dialga.

"I better end this quickly." Wendy thought. "Dragonite is close to going down. But then again, so is DIO's Pokemon. Maybe one more attack will finish it."

"Alright! Dragon Rush one more time!"

Just like before, Dragonite flies up high, and begins flying back down at high speed.

"Finish it!" Everyone cheers.

But Wendy didn't know that Dragon Rush only hits your opponent twenty-five percent of the time. And that twenty-five percent kicked in now.

Dragonite missed. And hit the ground right next to Dialga. You could basically see this happen in slow motion.

"What?!" Charlie gasped.

"Oh no." Ed groaned.

"It missed?!" Spinel said.

"I missed?!" Wendy exclaimed. That confidence she had before had dissipated in that moment.

"Too bad." DIO said. "All that hope and hard work was for nothing! Dialga, finish it with one last Roar of Time!"

And just like that, it was all over. After being hit by that blast, Dragonite fainted.

"No...Dragonite!" Wendy cried, dropping to her knees.

"And it's all over!" Chris announced. "DIO wins the challenge! Invincibility is his!"

This made everyone groan. Except for one person, which was Katakuri. DIO once again weaseled his way to another victory. And he was mad. He felt his rage start to boil more than it had in a long time.

"Sucks to be you." DIO said to Wendy. "Maybe a ride in the cannon tonight will teach you a le-"

Before DIO could finish, Katakuri leaps up, tackles DIO to the ground, and begins to punch him in the face over and over with Haki covered fists. And he had that familiar dark look on his face again.

Pow! Wham! Whack!

"YOU'VE HAD THIS COMING FOR A LONG TIME YOU BLOOD SUCKING BASTARD! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOUR FOUL PLAY, AND IT'S TIME YOU PAY!"

Katakuri continues to mercilessly pummel DIO in his face, blacking both of his eyes, and smearing his green lipstick!"

"SUFFER, YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!"

"KATAKURI, NO!"

Wendy and Charlie tackle him to the ground, which took a lot of effort due to his size.

"Enough!" Charlie cried. "You're doing it again!"

"Snap out of it, bro!" Wendy also cried.

The sound of their voices manages to snap him out of it. "Wait? Huh? Charlie? Wendy? What happened?"

But the looks they gave him confirmed his worst suspicion. He then looked over at DIO, who was getting up from his beatdown.

"Bastard!" DIO cried. "How dare you strike me?!"

"No…" Katakuri gasped. "I did it again?"

He looked over to everyone else, watching this in shock. This was the first time they ever saw him lose his cool. Wendy and Charlie knew all too well.

"Crap." Katakuri muttered. "I did it again. I'm sorry."

"What the hell has gotten into you?" Edward asked. "I know you're mad, but even I don't think DIO deserved that."

"You're damn right I didn't!" DIO yelled.

"Yeah, that was a bit too much." Chris said. "And that's coming from me. Anyway, despite all of this DIO is still immune tonight. Unfortunately, he won't get the reward of keeping Dialga."

"What?!" DIO snapped. "Why?!"

"We weren't gonna let you keep them in the case that you or Geralt won. We originally didn't expect you guys to have literal gods at your side. You're still immune tonight, if that makes you feel any better. Instead, the reward will go to the runner-up, which means Wendy gets to keep her Dragonite."

Wait, really?!" Wendy asked. She looked at her Pokeball, and smiled. She really didn't want to say goodbye to Dragonite forever. At least something good came out of it.

"At least we get to know each other more."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'm so glad I get to keep him." Wendy said. "Even if I didn't win. We were so close. I didn't expect Katakuri to fly off the handle like that. And this is the second time it's happened. I'm worried. I just hope it's the last time we have to deal with this."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Damn it…." Katakuri groaned, holding his head down in shame. "It happened again. I normally don't lash out and attack unless it's for self defense. I made that mistake a long time ago. When I was a kid, I didn't care about what people thought about me. If anyone made fun of me, I beat them up. I was too confident in my strength. But one day, those bullies retaliated by attacking my favorite little sister."

"I always blamed myself for that incident, and I killed those bullies in a fit of blind rage. And it was from that day on that I adapted the calm, perfect persona I had adapted to for years. I guess sometimes your past does come back to haunt you."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Later….)

"Arrgh." DIO groaned. "Change of plans. I might just send him home for doing that to me." DIO groaned. The vampire was holding an ice pack to his head. His eyes were still blackened. "I assume you'll vote for him, too?" He asked Cinder.

"Of course." Cinder lied. "I guess his little spectacle today sealed his fate."

"Good." DIO then went into his cabin to rest up after what happened today. Cinder then goes to find Katakuri, along with Charlie and Wendy with him.

"So?" Katakuri asked. "What's he up to?"

"It seems as though he's coming for you directly." Cinder said. "Your little tantrum today shook him up a bit."

"It's all my fault." Katakuri said. "We've failed over and over, and I can't manage to keep my cool."

"Right now, we need to worry about who to vote for." Charlie said. "We can worry more about that later."

"Actually, I may have an idea." Cinder told them.

"What?"

"Geralt. He got really far in this challenge. He's already a difficult opponent to do with, and he's shown just how capable he can be on his own."

"I don't know." Katakuri sighed. "He seems like a decent guy. I've got no problems with Geralt."

"There's the problem." Cinder continues. "That leads to him being a major threat. And after what you did today, it's probably likely that most of them will vote for you. Ed may be your ally, but I could tell even he was disturbed by what you did. You don't have a lot of options. Let's be honest. If it's not Geralt that leaves tonight….then it's going to be you."

"Alright...fine." Katakuri sighed.

(Later….)

Everyone was even more quiet than usual as they sat at the bonfire.

"Well today was quite the interesting challenge." Chris said. "Meeting all kinds of Pokemon, and then that little scuffle. But now it's time to send one of you final eight goodbye."

"DIO."

"Edward."

"Spinel."

"Wendy."

"Charlie"

"And Cinder"

This left Geralt and Katakuri. Both of them sat there looking quiet and serious.

"I hope you'll be safe." Wendy whispered.

Two tough competitors, ready to face the music." Chris said. "Geralt, you have shown since day one that you've been a strong opponent. Powerful, smart, and with those swords and magic, it's be hard to go up against you in the finale. Katakuri b you have also been a power player, and a huge threat since the beginning. And even I have to admit that your actions today went a little too far. Still, this was another close vote. It's to.e to see who the votes favored. The final marshmallow goes to…."

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

"...Katakuri."

Katakuri sighed with relief as he claimed his marshmallow. Geralt was really shocked, but he took the news pretty well.

"Guess I should've seen it coming. I understand I would've been a challenge for you all. What were the votes, if I may ask?"

"It was four votes, three votes, and then one other one."

"So that means one person didn't vote for either of us." Geralt said. "But who was it?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Yeah, I'll admit Katakuri went completely nutso." Spinel said. "But I hate DIO a lot more. Since I couldn't pick him, I went with Cinder. She's such a jerk."

(She was completely unaware of Cinder's partnership with Katakuri, so that's why she voted for her)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A few minutes later, the witcher was then loaded into the cannon.

"Well, I guess this is where we say goodbye." Geralt said. "I played well. And I hope you all play a better game than I could've."

"Whatever floats your boat, dude." Chris said as he pushed the button, sending Geralt flying in through the sky.

(Later that night…)

Katakuri was sitting outside on the porch, deep in thought. Other than that incident years ago, he never snapped like that. He was confused, worried, and mad. Mostly at himself.

He was looking up, and saw Dragonite right in front of him, staring at him.

"Are you still thinking about earlier?"

He looked to see Charlie and Wendy looking at him, too.

"Yeah." He grunted. "I messed up big time today. That is not how a son of the Charlotte family should act. That should've been me leaving tonight. Not Geralt."

"We can't change the future, no matter how far you can see into it." Charlie said. "We all make mistakes. You should know that. We're always here for you."

"Besides," Wendy said. "I thought of something fun that will take your mind off all of this. How about we go for a fly on Dragonite?"

Dragonite lets out a happy cry at this.

"You know what? Sure." Katakuri said.

The three of them hop on Dragonite's back, and the Pokemon begins to fly them around the island. It felt great. As much as he enjoyed flying around with those he cared about, something in the back of his head told him this wouldn't be the last we see of the Old Katakuri.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Well, wasn't that fun? It's a little more tricky to write. Pokemon battles than regular fight scenes. I also kept the fights simple by not including mega evolution, z moves, or dynamaxing. I chose each Pokemon to represent something about each competitor. Even though she lost, Wendy still gets to have Dragonite with her.

And poor Katakuri flew off into a rage again. As a kid, he was way more violent, and an encounter with some bullies brought out not only rage, but his urge to be perfect. He's a great guy to share a snack with, but don't push him that far. This is only the setup for something bigger.

Also, now we say goodbye to Geralt. He managed to handle the game perfectly, and on his own. Some people noticed he was doing too good, and I feel that this was the right spot to place him. Well done Geralt. Your badasssery was your undoing.

Next episode is going to be a requested one I've been hyping up for a while. If you're a Danganronpa fan like me, then you know what's gonna go down. Someone is getting whacked. It's gonna be a little more graphic and gory than normal, but that's how it goes with Monokuma. So get hyped for that.

That's all for now. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. As always, read and review, it helps. and I'll see you in the next deadly episode. Until next time, stay awesome, and stay safe, guys. This is MemeKing, signing off.
