Chapter 6: My Heart is My Talent

Sandslash was laying down in the woods, Lum Berry in hand. Mismagius had let him stay in her shack for the past week. He was grateful for that because he wanted some time to think about what happened after the last challenge. Both Heliolisk and Excadrill told him they had feelings for him and even kissed him. He wasn't going to deny the fact that he didn't like either of them, he was really close to them and if it wasn't for both of them crushing on him, he would date one just fine. But now it was a matter of him having to pick one of them. It was driving him mad as he finished his berry.

"UGH! Why did this have to happen!?" Sandslash asked to himself. "Why did both of them have to like me!?"

"Sandslash?" a voice said. Sandslash turned around and saw Croagunk and Snorunt.

"Croagunk? Snorunt? What are you guys doing here?" Sandslash asked them

"I come out here to meditate every morning and Snorunt always follows me." Croagunk quickly replied. "But that's not the point. What are you doing here? You've been gone all week. The other team comes back in a matter of hours."

"I'm sorry… I've just been thinking about things" Sandslash replied.

"Oh! Oh! Is it the fact that both Excadrill and Heliolisk have feelings for you and now you have to figure out who you want to be with?" Snorunt said with glee

Sandslash just looked at her, Croagunk did since after 3 weeks he was used to it. "How.. How did you know that!?"

"Excadrill talks in her sleep and Liepard told me about Heliolisk." Snorunt replied with a smile.

"Okay then… but yeah that's the issue. Do you two have any advice considering you guys are a thing?" Sandslash asked

"... Sandslash… we're not dating." Croagunk said, a bit of disdain was in his voice as well. "Snorunt just always follows me around and I stopped feeling like pushing her away. Admittedly she is good company."

"Yeah! But I know you like me Croagunk" Snorunt added cheerfully.

"Anyways, Sandslash I think that isolating yourself isn't going to help. Try actually being around and thinking about which of the two you want to be with more. Knowing you you'll likely still be friends with the other in the end so it shouldn't be too big of an issue." Croagunk advised

"Okay, thanks Croagunk." Sandslash said. "I think I'm going to go for a walk and maybe the cafeteria afterwards. I'll see you later." He then walked away from the two.

Snorunt look at Croagunk. "Why did you tell him that? You know nothing about love… You've kinda been alone you're whole life"

"I told him that based off of what I knew about desire… I'm just going to hope I actually gave good advice." Croagunk replied

000000000000000

Sandslash: "I think the advice Croagunk gave me should be fine. I just got to figure things out and pick who I really want. This type of decision can't be that hard, right?"
Croagunk: "What Snorunt said about me was true… Snorunt can read me like a book… it's as scary as it sounds."

Snorunt: She was bouncing around the confessional with berry juice over her mouth. "I like frogs! Frogs are great!"

Sandslash was walking in the campground and saw Heracross, writing something in his notepad

Sandslash walked over to him. "Hey Heracross. What are you doing?"
"Just finishing a theory I have." Heracross replied. "So, where were you at the past week?"

"I've been in the forest all week trying to think." Sandslash replied. "What's the theory?"

"At Xatu's elimination, he said that someone was playing all of us, and that he loves to play his games. I think I know who it is. My turn, what were you thinking about?" Heracross asked.

"What to do about Excadrill and Heliolisk both having feelings for me." Sandslash replied "Who do you think it is?"

"Whoa whoa whoa. What?" Heracross asked suddenly.

"Yeah… Heliolisk and Excadrill both kissed me after we lost the challenge and then I went into the forest for a week." Sandslash replied.

"... Well then. Hey buddy, wants some advice?" Heracross asked

"I'll take what I can get." Sandslash replied

"Well, from what I see. I see a shut in mole, who was scared for her life when she came here, and you helped her get through it... mostly. The second, I see a gay Mon, who won the lottery when you said that you were bi. Choose the one which you both affected the most, and affected you the most. That's when you know which one's the right choice." Heracross advices.

"Alright. Thanks Heracross." Sandslash said. "Now who did you think is this tricker?"

"Simple... the only one who plays nice to everyone and fucking you and Heliolisk over... Zoroark." Heracross revealed

"I would argue with you… but given that he put both of us in the infirmary without remorse I can't." Sandslash said

"It's Zoroark. He's the only one who loves to play games and is the most possible contestant to play us all." Heracross deduced.

"That would make sense for his species too. He is the the Illusion Pokemon after all." Sandslash pointed out
"So it's him... but I don't think we can tell anyone." Heracross admitted

"What!? Why!?" Sandslash asked.

"He's a sly motherfucker. He'll convince his team that he's a good guy, and he'll even find some damn way to convince my team as well. As much as I hate it...We're alone on this one." Heracross said.

"Well… we're fucked." Sandslash said flatly
"Yes... which is why you shouldn't tell anyone about this... not yet anyways. We don't know his full capabilities yet. If we act too soon, he may take us all out in one fell swoop. We must be cautious, and patient about this." Heracross advised.

Sandslash nodded. "I will"

"... So, does this mean I can call you that woman from Twilight now?" Heracross joked.
"Screw you Heracross" Sandslash said rolling his eyes

Heracross laughed at this as he made more jokes at Sandslash about his love triangle.

00000000000000000

Sandslash: "I'm not too surprised that Zoroark is the one playing us… He is a Zoroark. He was born to do that! I just hope we can do something about it before he does too much damage."

Heracross: "Zoroark must be stopped, but a plan like this takes time. If anyone else would ever know about this, he'll find some way to make our lives a living hell, I'm sure of it."
Zoroark: Zoroark sneezed and grinned. "Someone's talking about me. But the question is, is it good, or bad for me?"

0000000000000000

Cacturne was cleaning something in the forest as Liepard was chatting with him
"The others should be back on the island soon. I hope they had fun on that spa trip." Liepard said with a little sigh.

"I suggested ta kill dem all, bit ya wouldn't let me." Cacturne joked

Liepard giggled. "You're still on that? Let it go Cacturne."

"Sorry, force of habit. Anyways, may I ask ya a question?" Cacturne asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Liepard asked back.

"By dis time, I'm sure a fair lady such as yourself would have an eye on someone here, am I correct?" Cacturne asked.

Liepard blushed a little. "I mean, yeah. Excadrill recently got a crush for Sandslash for example."

"See, so dat means ya surely have someone on dis island ya have an eye on." Cacturne presumed.

"Maybe I do." Liepard said teasingly

"Oh yeah? And who would dat be?" Cacturne asked, grinning at her.

Liepard blushed more. "Well.. Um… It's…Why do you want to know?"

"Well... I'm just curious is all." Cacturne said, using his hat to hide his own blush.

"Well… It's.. You" Liepard admitted as she looked away blushing mad
Cacturne didn't believe what he just heard. He blinked twice and shook himself. "M...Me? You're into... Me?"

Liepard slowly nodded with her blush.

"... Wow... but, why me? I don't know if ya noticed, but us Cacturnes aren't the most attractive of Pokemon." Cacturne joked.

Liepard rolled her eyes. "Oh please. You know that plenty of Cacturnes can and have find love. Everyone species of Pokemon are attractive in their own way."

"But still... why me?" Cacturne asked.

"Simple, you're a sweet guy. The threatening me thing aside, you've been nothing but kind to me. It's been great being around you...and don't think I didn't hear you say I was adorable last week after Emolga left." Liepard explained.

"... Yes, I think accidentally I slipped dat out." He looks at Liepard. "I'm not gonna lie, I think I fell for ya too."

Liepard smirked. "Did you now?"

"Yeah, I did. Liepard, when I first saw ya, I didn't look on the outside. I only looked on the inside, what your intentions were for your charms, and thought of ya as an enemy. But now... now I see the inside, the part that you're someone very nice ta be with, someone dat knows how ta have a good time. And I also now see the gorgeous outside. Ta my eyes, you're da most beautiful woman, I have ever seen in my entire life." Cacturne admitted.

Liepard had a big smile and blush "Really? You think all of that?"

Cacturne smiled as well and nodded. "Every last word."

"Wow. So does this mean that we're dating now?" Liepard asked.

"Well, dat depends," Cacturne started, as he stopped cleaning something a long time ago and walked up closer to her. "Do ya wanna start datin'?"

"I would love to start dating you Cacturne" Liepard said.

"Well, den so will I." Cacturne said, smiling at her.

Liepard tackled Cacturne down to the ground like she had did the week before and the their faces were close to each other. Liepard giggled "Sorry,, couldn't help myself."

"I can see dat." Cacturne said as he chuckled. "Well, we already got dis far, wanna close dat gap?"

"Gladly" Liepard said before kissing Cacturne's lips.

Cacturne gladly took it and managed to scratch Liepard's right ear without hurting her.

Liepard purred. "Well, someone knows how to be nice to a lady."

"Well of course. I might be a mob boss, but I do know my manners." Cacturne replied as he scratched harder.

Liepard purred more. "Well, you currently have those manners alright."

"So, are just goin' ta lie here all day doin' dis, or are we goin' ta do somethin' about us bein' on da ground?" Cacturne asked as he grinned at her.

Liepard blushed, then grinned. "I'm sure we have time before that Wailord comes to the island. So I'll take it." She kissed him again.

He took it gladly again as she was scratching her harder and petting her body as well.

Liepard purred and relaxed herself right on him.

00000000000000

Liepard: "You know. Being honest to him about how i felt was easier then I thought it would be. And I'm glad I did in the end. That guy knows how to make a lady like me happy and relaxed."

Cacturne: Cacturne was laughing out of pure glee. "Da boys back home will be so jealous! A Liepard is one of da most beautiful Pokemon known in da whole world, and I just won the jackpot! Take dat everyone, a Cacturne of all Pokemon has her! Oh the irony!" He finally calms down and gains his composure. "Well, now dat I celebrated, I'm glad dat I have her. So kind and playful. And I'm also glad she enjoyed me treatin' her right. Knew dose skill would come in handy." He grinned as he tipped his hat to the camera."

00000000000000

Heliolisk was eating his morning mush in the cafeteria. He was thinking about Sandslash and how no one seen him since both he and Excadrill kissed him. Heliolisk had feelings for Sandslash but he felt upset that Excadrill did too. He didn't hate the shut in mole by any means, but he really wanted Sandslash… he felt like his luck had been good for him for once.

Heliolisk sighed. "You meet someone, find out that you have a chance… Then you learn someone else wants them. Thanks life, glad to know you want me happy."

Suddenly, Sandslash and Heracross enter the cafeteria, both of them noticing Heliolisk.

"So then I said, oh, Heliolisk, came so early I see?" Heracross asked.

Heliolisk looked up at them from his food. "Yeah. Wasn't doing anything else so may as well."

He then noticed Sandslash was with Heracross. "Oh, hey Sandslash. Where have you been the past week?"

"I've been in the forest." Sandslash simply replied

"For a while week?" Heliolisk asked.

"I have survival skills, I was fine. No need to worry about me Heliolisk." Sandslash replied.

"Well," Heracross started. "There was that one time you told me about how a Bewear-"

"Heracross! Not helping." Sandslash interrupted.

"Look, all I'm saying, was that Bewear was probably just lonely is all." Heracross said.

"I should stop telling you things." Sandslash said with a sigh.

"That Bewear aside… I'm at least glad you're okay. Have you thought about what happened last week?" Heliolisk asked.

Sandslash sighed. "Yes I have Heliolisk, I just still need time to think is all."

"But you were gone for a-" Heliolisk started.

"That Bewear took up half my time, okay?!" Sandslash interrupted. "Can we just drop that for now? I want to eat."

"Sure. Bruce made a lot of food this morning so eat up" Heliolisk said.

"Hey Sandslash, question. Is the food here better than-" Heracross

"Please just stop talking about that Heracross" Sandslash said shaking his head as He went to get his food, Heracross not far behind him.

0000000000000000

Heliolisk: "I was honestly very worried when Sandslash never came back to the cabin so I'm glad he's okay… I just hope we can talk about us becoming a thing so.. Why is everything so hard?"

Sandslash: "I'm trying to take the advice I've gotten today into account to choose who I really want to be with…. It's harder than I thought."

0000000000000000

All the Darkrais heard shouting as the Wailord came with all the Giratinas. They all left the docks, happier than ever.

"Damn shame we have to get back here." Cofagrigus said to Druddigon.

"Yeah." Druddigon agreed. "But the week away at that spa makes it kinda worth it."

"Did you hear what happened when someone tried to give Banette a spa treatment? No one found the guy since then." Cofagrigus said, with a little worry.

"It's… It's better if we don't think about it… like a lot better." Druddigon said looking at Banette.

She smiled as she innocently waved at Druddigon and Cofagrigus. They both just shivered to that.

"Now tell me, why do we have to go back to this hell?" Dragalge asked Monferno.

"Because Jaba only reserved our time there for a week. We're still in a competition and had to come back." Monferno explained.

"Arceus dammit, I would've killed to get back to that resort." Dragalge said. Druddigon and Cofagrigus saw Banette's eyes glimmered when she heard that.

"Uhhh… Let's avoid the topic of killing… For a while. Thank you." Druddigon said.

"Still, I guess it was nice while I was there, especially with you around." Dragalge said, grinning at Monferno.

Monferno grinned back. "Likewise to you. And I'm Glad your body fully recovered from the challenge."

"Please, I am a King after all. My body recovers just fine after a simple stomach problem." Dragalge said.

"If you say so… but I'd appropriate if you never scare me like that ever again" Monferno said.

"Done deal." Dragalge replied.

The Darkrais saw them come back to the island. As Heracross saw Scizor.

"Why hello there beetle. Still jealous that we had a whole week of rest and relaxation?" Scizor asked.

"Please, it was a whole week here of rest and relaxation here without you." Heracross said, as he winked at her.

"Whatever." Scizor said, rolling her eyes but ending on a wink. "Maybe after that spa trip I'll be able to beat you easily today."

"Please, you beating me is like Banette being sane." Heracross replied.

"From the sound of it, you aren't denying it can't happen one day." Scizor said.

"Like I said, it's like Banette being sane." Heracross said as he saw Banette throwing sand in the air like confetti.

Scizor sighed. "Nevermind then."

What was watching all of them was Zoroark and Beheeyem.

"Ah, it's good to be back home, wouldn't you agree Beheeyem?" Zoroark asked.

Beheeyem nodded to Zoroark.

"Now, let's see what kind of chaos we can create next." Zoroark said.

Excadrill walked up to Sandslash.

"Oh there you are Sandslash. I missed you this past week" Excadrill said

"I'm fine don't worry. I just needed time to think… And got mothered by a Bewear… Don't ask." Sandslash said.

"Okay?" Excadrill said in confusion. "Anyway I went out to the fields and I picked some flowers for you." She brought up the flowers she had and gave them to Sandslash.

Sandslash blushed a little. "Oh, thank you Excadrill. I appreciate it."

Excadrill smiled. "Anything for the guy who helped me get out of my shell."

000000000000000

Sandslash: He was holding the flowers and sniffed them. "Wow these smell really nice. Wait did she go out on her own to get that… That's really sweet."

Excadrill: "Truth is I had Klinklang come with me to get those… I was still a little too scare to do that on my own."

Klinklang: Klinklang did his best to shrug. "Eh, why not? I was bored so the company was worth it."

00000000000000

Zoroark saw what Excadrill did as he also saw the look on Heliolisk's face as well. He had a dark grin on his face. "Hey Beheeyem, see those three over there?"

Beheeyem looked at them and nodded.

"What I see, is a love triangle." Zoroark said, still looking at them.

Beheeyem looked at them more and nodded again

1"I can tell when someone likes another that way, they just have that look on their eye." Zoroark said, as Beheeyem looked at him.

"You see, it's how they look at you, and remember all the good times they had with each other, how you grew attached to that person, how you want more, and eventually, find out you have feelings in that person. It's that certain glimmer in their eyes when they look at the ones they fall for." Zoroark explained as Beheeyem was still looking at him.

As he was explaining, Beheeyem looked at Zoroark and saw that he's pretty much the exact way he described.

Zoroark looked at her and gave his usual grin. "You know what I mean?"

Beheeyem nodded vigorously.

00000000000000

Beheeyem: She was just looking at the camera, making the motions as if she sighed happily.

00000000000000

"Well, I know how these love triangles work." Zoroark continued. "It'll take time for it to resolve, either with someone choosing one, or the other. But me, I don't like waiting. In fact, I think I know a way to 'speed things up', if you know what I mean."

Beheeyem gave him a questioning look.

"Here, this is what we do." Zoroark said, as he whispered the plan into Beheeyem's ear.

She nodded as she was hearing the plan.

00000000000000

Zoroark: Zoroark cackled. "Oh yeah, I'm going to have LOTS of fun with this."

00000000000000

Scizor pinned Heracross to a tree as they were making out.

"Arceus, I missed your hot body." Heracross said.

"And missed you." Scizor said. "That was the one time I wished you were on my team. Imagine us in a spa together for a week."

"Trust me, that would've been great with you. But if we get to the merge, we wouldn't have to keep this a secret either." Heracross pointed out as he kissed her a couple of times.

"True. I don't think anyone will target us since you're your team's leader and I'm just someone good to keep around." Scizor said

"Now, show me what I missed for so long." Heracross said as he kissed her neck.

"Gladly beetle boy." Scizor said, making out with him once more.

00000000000000

Scizor: Scizor was panting in the confessional. "Damn.. . I missed him."

Heracross: Heracross was panting as well. "Remind me….. Why were we enemies in the first place?"

00000000000000

Everyone went to the cafeteria as the Giratinas were actually wanting Bruce's food for once.

Sandslash saw Heracross limped his way to him again.

"Considering she was gone for a week… I'm not going to argue this one time." Sandslash said.

"You're just jealous that my love life isn't formed in the shape of a triangle." Heracross said as he ate his food.

"How was I supposed to know that two people would fall for me?" Sandslash asked.

"Simple, see the signs of it happening." Heracross simply replied.

Sandslash rolled his eyes. "We're not all detectives like you are Heracross."

"If that was true, the world would be a safer place." Heracross said.

Scizor sat by Monferno as she saw her happy mood again.

"Someone's happy. Finally got to be with your beetle boyfriend again after so long?" Monferno asked her.

Scizor rolled her eyes "It's been a week Monferno, let me have this. What if you were away from Dragalge for that week?"

Monferno promptly shut up.

Scizor grinned "Thought so" Scizor then started eating her mush.

0000000000000000

Monferno: "I'll let her I've it today since they were away from each other, but seriously Scizor. What if you stop focusing on helping the team win because of your obsession with Heracross?"

Scizor: "Monferno really needs to stop getting In my business about me and Heracross. I know what I'm doing, not like I'm hurting anybody about it."

0000000000000000

Dragalge sat by Monferno and gave her some of his real food.

"Thank you Dragalge. I really do appreciate you sharing your food with me." Monferno said eating it.

"Anything for you Monferno." Dragalge replied.

Monferno smiled and blushed at that. She also noticed a look Scizor had. "What?'

Scizor laughed a little. "Oh nothing" She then went back to her food.

Monferno rolled her eyes and turned back to Dragalge. "So, you think you're ready for the next challenge?"

"My stomach almost blew up in the last one, I think I'm more than capable for anything Jaba and Hannibal pull out of their hats, or whatever generic challenge the creators have in mind." Dragalge replied.

"FOURTH WALL!" Someone shouted.

Dragalge growled and turned to Cofagrigus. "Will you stop that?!"

"I SWEAR TO ARCEUS, I DIDN'T DO IT!" Cofagrigus yelled.

"But you like playing pranks dude… wouldn't make sense that you do it?" Druddigon asked.

"Listen to the words, coming from my mouth!" Cofagrigus shouted. "I! DIDN'T! DO IT!"

Druddigon puts his hands up in defense. "Fine Fine. But who could even do it?"

Dragalge sighed. "Anyways, I think I should be fine Monferno."

"Okay, just try to not worry me again so soon." Monferno said.

Smeargle saw Krookodile flipped his coin, and Bruce gave him extra food because he accidentally made too much.

Smeargle eyes lit up seeing that. "That's still so amazing."

"Coincidence, it's all it is. Don't think otherwise." Klinklang warned.

"Klinklang!? How long have you been there? Did you use come sheath ability?" Smeargle asked in surprise.

"Sure… let's go with that. Anyways, I've been here long enough to see you see him as a God. He isn't." Klinklang said.

"You know Banette had this came talk with me last week. How else can you explain everything he does?" Smeargle asked.

"Very well timing and coincidences. Nothing he's ever done is proof that he's a God. And if Banette said that he wasn't….. Then that's a very good sign to believe me." Klinklang replied.

Smeargle sighed. "Then say he isn't… How is it that every time he flips his coin something good always happens to him?" Smeargle asked. "Even things far beyond the line of what one can count as a coincidence."

"Not everything good happens when he's flipped that coin, I've seen it. The day when Krookodile and Mismagius were covered in soot, did you really think that a God would just let that happen to himself? I hypothesis that the coin can both make both good, and bad things happen to him. He's not a God Smeargle, he's just a crocodile, playing the odds." Klinklang explained.

"... I'll think about what you said. make you and possibly Banette happy?" Smeargle asked him.

"It'll definitely make me happy, but Banette?" Klinklang looks at Banette as she was cursing out on her food. "I think she'll be fine on her own."

Smeargle looked at her as well. "Yeah… I don't think anyone can explain how Banette thinks… all I know is she has the insanity condition. You should have heard about what happened with her on the trip. Horror games would love her."

"No… I think horror games would be scared of her." Klinklang replied.

"... Yep" Smeargle agreed.

Heliolisk and Excadrill eventually came in and sat by Sandslash.

"Hey Excadrill, Heliolisk… what's up?" Sandslash asked

"I'm doing fine. I just wanted to eat with you is all." Heliolisk replied, Excadrill nodding in agreement.

"I see… you know I know how both of you feel. but can you guys give me time to rack my head about my choice? I've never had to decide something like this before." Sandslash said.

"I'm okay waiting… I'm using to bring patient." Excadrill said.

"I guess I can wait too. Plus we still can hang out during that time so it's not all bad". Heliolisk said.

"Thanks for understanding guys." Sandslash said. "Glad to see you both taking this well."

Zoroark was watching this and chuckled. "Alright, time for Phase 1 of your plan, start the timer."

Beheeyem nodded as she pointed at Heliolisk.

Suddenly, he was having a thought that Excadrill could take Sandslash away from him, since Excadrill was the one who started this whole thing.

Heliolisk got up and grabbed Sandslash, dragging him out of the cafeteria.

"Heliolisk what are you doing!?" Sandslash asked

"I'm just wanted to spend time with you Sandslash. Nothing big." Heliolisk as they went out the door of the cafeteria.

Excadrill looked at Heracross confused. "What... Just happened?"

"You know, that's a very good question." Heracross replied.

000000000000000

Heliolisk: "I just don't want to lose Sandslash to Excadrill! Is it wrong that I want to be with him!?"

Sandslash: "What was up with Heliolisk? He was calm about everything seconds before he dragged me away. What the hell man!?"

Zoroark: "I just love it when people are fighting over someone, it's great drama to watch."

0000000000000000

Heliolisk took Sandslash a little away from the cafeteria and started to kiss him.

"Helio-," Sandslash started to say before a kiss pin the lips, cutting him off.

Heliolisk kissed him a bit more. "I'm sorry Sandslash. But I love you, and I don't want to lose you"

Sandslash pushed him off a bit. "Where the hell did you get the idea you'll lose me? Why would I just push you away like that?

"Well the thought just came to my head that Excadrill would take you away from me. You have been around her since day one." Heliolisk explained.

"Heliolisk you were just fine with me taking time to figure out who I wanted to be with and then seconds later you just do something like this out of the blue!" Sandslash shouted.

"Sandslash I-," Heliolisk started

"Heliolisk! Just.. Just don't talk to me for a while okay? I need to make up my mind." Sandslash said, walking away before Heliolisk could reply.

"Sandslash…" Heliolisk simply said.

000000000000000

Later on, Sandslash came back to the table, a little peeved off.. "Are… you okay?" Heracross asked, clearly confused.

"Yeah I'll be fine." Sandslash replied. "I just don't want to talk to Heliolisk right now."

Zoroark saw Sandslash's mood and chuckled. "Alright, it's time for Phase 2, send him to the comfort zone."

Beheeyem nodded as she pointed at Excadrill.

Suddenly, Excadrill had the thought that Sandslash really needed someone to comfort him right now.

Excadrill hugged Sandslash. "Hey, it'll be okay. You'll be fine."

Sandslash smiled and blushed. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks Excadrill."

"No problem." Excadrill said, still hugging him.

Heliolisk came back to the cafeteria to find Sandslash, only to find him being hugged by Excadrill and blushing by it. When he say that, he held his head down and walked up to the cabin, clearly upset.

Zoroark grinned. "Now for Phase 3, give him the plan."

Beheeyem nodded and pointed at Heliolisk again.

Before Heliolisk left, completely crushed, he had a plan. He needed to win Sandslash over from Excadrill. He'll do that during the challenge and show him how much he loves him.

Heliolisk: He was crying a little. "I can't lose Sandslash… Not like that. I've got to do something. Something to prove that I truly do love him. Then maybe he'll want to be with me"

000000000000

Zoroark saw his plan go through beautifully and laughed. "Now THAT, is what you call conflict!"

Zoroark patted Beheeyem's back and smiled at her. "You did great out there. Excellent work."

Beheeyem blushed a bit at the compliment and nodded.

0000000000000

Beheeyem: She once again looked at the camera and make a gesture like she was swooning.

0000000000000

Later on, Jaba and Hannibal finally arrived to the cafeteria.

"Good afternoon everyone! Giratinas, I hope you had a great spa trip." Jaba said.

"It was great…. Until reality came back for us and sent us back to hell." Dragalge replied.

"Yeah, this island tends to have that effect on you." Hannibal said, grinning. He then looked around. "Hey, where the hell's lizard at?"

"I have no idea. Sandslash do you know?" Croagunk asked Sandslash.

"I think he might be in the cabin… thinking" Sandslash replied.

"Eh, whatever, he'll know what we're doing later." Hannibal waved off.

"Anyway. For today's challenge, you will be competing in a Talent Show." Jaba announced to the contestants.

"... What?" Druddigon asked.

"A Talent show. All of you will perform with your own talents… Whatever they might be. You can group or pair up if you want. Or if you have no talent and would rather help someone. Bruce, Hannibal, and I will judge your performances on a scale of 1 to 10. The team with the highest overall score wins the challenge." Jaba explained.

"Yay! I love a Talent Show!" Banette shouted with glee.

"Me too!" Snorunt shouted cheerfully

"Glad to hear enthusiasm." Jaba said. "You will have a few hours to figure out what each of you will be doing and for practice. We will all meet you at the stage at about 5 o'clock. Any questions?"

Smeargle raised her hand.

"What did Xatu say?" Jaba asked

"Prepare to get terrified." Smeargle said.

"That's not a good sign." Jaba stated

"Well, with that said, it's go time everyone!" Hannibal shouted.

00000000000000

Cofagrigus: "I have one idea we could do, but I'll need to talk it over with Druddigon first."

Zoroark: He cackled. "This is perfect. This brings the perfect opportunity to mess up this love triangle even more. Plus, I already have a talent, and I'm sure Beheeyem can assist me with it."

Snorunt: "I love Talent shows!... What's a Talent?"

Croagunk: "I just spend the last 10 minutes explaining what a talent is to Snorunt… Arceus why me? At least I can take this challenge and so something with it."

Heliolisk: "Klinklang told me what the challenge is today… I think I may have a plan."

Sandslash: "In all honestly, the best I can do it make traps to impress the host… will that even be enough? Maybe I can work with Heracross."

000000000000000

Heracross, Sandslash, and Excadrill were grouped up.

"So, does anyone have any skills?" Heracross asked.

"I'm a shut in… Do you expect much out of me?" Excadrill pointed out.

"I only asked a question. Plus, I'm sure you have some skill, you ARE shut in so you had to have something." Heracross pointed out.

"I can dig holes and I'm observant. That's about all I got." Excadrill said.

"Alright, I'll take it. You Sandslash?" Heracross asked.

"I have my survival skills and I have freeze things." Sandslash said.

"Hmm, can you make an ice hammer?" Heracross asked.

"Likely.. Why?" Sandslash asked

"Wait… Are you going to make this into a game of 'Whack a Mole'!?" Excadrill asked.

"You said it, not me." Heracross simply replied.

"Why are you going to whack me with an ice hammer? I'm weak to ice!" Excadrill pointed out.

"Nice try, but you're part Steel, meaning it's only neutral." Heracross pointed out. "Or would you rather have Sandslash do it, since Ice would be 4x resistant."

"Wait what are you going to do Heracross?" Sandslash asked.

"We're just going to play a little game is all. If both of you participate, it would help your odds of NOT getting hit. Plus, Excadrill is faster while you Sandslash can take more hits. I'd say, it's a win-win-win. Sound fair?" Heracross asked.

Sandslash and Excadrill both looked at each other then back at Heracross and sighed. "We'll do it."

"Good, now I'll just be walking around and will see what the other contestants are doing. You two can do whatever. We'll meet up when the time comes. See you then." Heracross said as he leaves the two to themselves.

"Are… Are we going to be okay doing this?" Excadrill asked.

"I think we will." Sandslash replied. "I'm sure we'll get points for this. And we could have fun messing with Heracross for some laughs."

"What do you mean by that?" Excadrill asked.

"Do you know any long ranged moves?" Sandslash asked. Excadrill nodded and he explained what he was thinking.

000000000000

Excadrill: "I'll be honest.. I love this idea. Sandslash is great."

Sandslash: He was laughing. "Oh. This is going to be great!"

Heracross: "Are they plotting something behind my back? Very likely. Should I be worried? Not in the slightest. After all, I have something in my sleeve as well." Heracross said, grinning.

000000000000

Zoroark was with Beheeyem. "Now, I have a little talent with shooting things. Would you care to join me? With you destructive Psychic capabilities, you would be a great help." Zoroark offered.

Beheeyem was nodding happily. He had her at shooting.

"Great, now that we have the talent part taken cared of, let's have some more fun with that love triangle, shall we?" Zoroark asked Beheeyem, grinning at her.

She nodded with a smirk.

Zoroark cackled with a new dark plan.

00000000000

Sandslash and Excadrill were chatting while Zoroark and Beheeyem were hiding in the bushes. Zoroark gave the signal and Beheeyem pointed at Excadrill.

Excadrill suddenly found that it was the right time to confess to Sandslash on how much she feels about him.

"Hey Sandslash." Excadrill started. "I wanted to tell you that I really love you. You've helped me so much to get out of my shell and I couldn't be happier about it. And thanks to that I've really grown feelings for you Sandslash." She then hugged and kissed him.

Sandslash just looked at her with a blush. "Ex-Excadrill… I told you that I needed to to figure it all out."

"I know. But I still wanted to tell you how I felt about you." Excadrill said.

"O-Okay… Can you let go of me now?" Sandslash asked

"A few more moments." Excadrill said hugging a bit tighter.

0000000000000000

Sandslash: "I really didn't realize the effect I had on Excadrill… It was really nice to hear how much she liked me thanks to me helping her…." He sighed. "Why is love do hard?"

Excadrill: "I have no idea where that thought came from, but I felt so much better being honest about how I felt…. Is this what being around actual people feels like?"

0000000000000000

Zoroark looked at his arm like it was a watch. "Three, two, one." Zoroark said.

A few moments later, Heliolisk saw Excadrill hugging Sandslash again. He needed to act now.

Heliolisk ran to the two of them. "Sandslash!"

Sandslash saw him. "Heliolisk!? I told you to not talk to me for a bit."

"I don't care… I need to tell you something Sandslash! I love you Sandslash! Every since we've been on this island you have been so nice and always willing to help! You were always worrying about me especially after Zoroark basically put me in the infirmary. You've just always just there for me and I couldn't appreciate it! I love you Sandslash… and I want you to know that." Heliolisk said to him.

Sandslash looked to him, still blushing. "Heliolisk… is that how much you feel about me?"

Heliolisk nodded.

"I… I see… I… I.. I need to go." Sandslash said before running into the forest not giving either Heliolisk or Excadrill a chance to chase him.

Zoroark cackled. "We're so close, I can taste it." He placed a hand on Beheeyem's shoulder.

Beheeyem blushed a bit and nodded.

"Quick, let's get to him before it's too late." Zoroark said as the two chased after Sandslash.

0000000000000

Sandslash: He was slashing the confessional in frustration. "Why. Is. Love. So. Damn. Hard!?"

Beheeyem: She was just looking at the camera, blushing.

00000000000000

Zoroark and Beheeyem caught up to Sandslash and hid in some bushes.

"Now, time for Phase Four, the nail in the coffin." Zoroark said.

Beheeyem nodded and pointed at Sandslash.

As he was frustrated, he had a thought that he knew he couldn't keep them waiting any longer. The pace this was going, Sandslash HAD to make a decision now. Heliolisk, or Excadrill?

"Okay… I think… I think I know my decision now... It's now.. Or never." Sandslash said to himself.

00000000000000

Sandslash eventually went back to Heliolisk and Excadrill.

"Sandslash, are you okay?" Heliolisk asked

"I've… I've made my decision…" Sandslash said.

"Really? Who?" Excadrill asked.

Sandslash answered that by walking up to the one who he chose and kissed, lovingly…. He kissed Excadrill.

Zoroark and Beheeyem, who were hiding in the bushes, saw it happen.

Excadrill blushed madly, but embraced him and kissed him back.

Heliolisk on the other hand… he started crying. He ran out of the area, crying… heartbroken.

Zoroark saw how heartbroken Heliolisk was and grinned darkly, his plan went through perfectly.

0000000000000

Heliolisk: He couldn't say a word… He was just crying horribly in the confessional… heartbroken that he lost Sandslash

Zoroark: He couldn't saw a word, he was laughing too hard in the confessional to laugh.

Sandslash: "I took Heracross' advice and that lead me to choosing Excadrill… I've had more of an impact on her and I've felt a bit closer to her… I still like Heliolisk though… And I feel bad for doing that to him. He was gone when I looked around… I hope he's okay."

Excadrill: "I can't believe it… I have a boyfriend now. Sandslash… it feels great, honestly. I feel a bit bad for Heliolisk though. It seem that he really did love Sandslash."

00000000000000000

Excadrill and Sandslash were embracing each other, kissing lovingly.

"Thank you for choosing me Sandslash." Excadrill said kissing him.

"It's nothing. I love you Excadrill." Sandslash said.

"I love you too." Excadrill said back as they continued to make out and embrace each other until they needed to go for the challenge.

00000000000000000

Zoroark and Beheeyem were at another area, laughing. "That was perfect! We couldn't have done better!" Zoroark said while he was still laughing.

Beheeyem nodded, gesturing like she was laughing.

Zoroark finally calmed down and grinned at Beheeyem. "You know, I couldn't have done that without you. With my dastardly brains, and your destructive Psychic abilities, we could tear this island apart. I'm glad to have you."

Beheeyem smiled and nodded, agreeing with him.

"Hmm, I have another great idea. But we can do that after the challenge. Come on, we have a challenge to win." Zoroark said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the stage.

Beheeyem blushed and smiled as he took her away.

00000000000000

Beheeyem: She was blushing, swooning in the confessional again.

00000000000000

Cacturne and Liepard were in the forest. "Ya know, I have one thin' we could do, if ya want?" Cacturne asked.

"May I ask what it is?" Liepard asked.

"Well first, how good are ya at dancin'" Cacturne asked.

"I have four legs…. What do you think?" Liepard pointed out.

"Well, it's not hard really. I've seen four legged Mons dance all da time where I come from." Cacturne said.

"Well, I never really learned. Shockingly, I never had a reason to." Liepard said.

"... I find it very ironic that ya charm others, but ya never learned ta dance, which could help ya charm others." Cacturne simply said.

"You and my dad alike" Liepard simply said

"Well, let me teach ya." Cacturne said. "Now, all ya have ta do is-

00000000000000

Banette was at the stage, before the challenge could start. She was searching around to help with her talent.

"Now there has to be something special around here." Banette said to herself. She kept looking around until she found a chest. She grinned as she opened it and there were a lot of props.

"Bingo." She said. She looked around and took some things. A chainsaw, some bowling pins, some magic rings, a butcher knife, a magician's hat, a metal bat, and a rubber chicken. She was about done until she saw something else, an old rusty key.

"Hmm? What's a key doing here?" Banette asked as she grabbed it. She inspects it and grins. "I like it. This is going to the safe place." She said to herself.

00000000000000

Heracross was walking around as he eventually found Scizor.

"Why, look what we found here, a rare beauty she is." Heracross spoke up.

Scizor turned around to see him. "Hey there handsome. What are you doing here? Don't you have a challenge to prepare for?"

"Everything's already taken cared of. We have a plan and everything. Nothing to worry here." Heracross assured. "So, what are you going to do?"

"There's this trick I picked up from Juvie. I figured it would get a high score from Hannibal and Bruce." Scizor said.

"Ah, I see." Heracross said as he stepped closer to Scizor. "Well, I would wish you luck, but you're on the opposite team. Can't have you winning too many times now."

"We've only won one challenge that had you guys vote someone off. We could use the win" Scizor pointed out.

"Maybe, but you know how competitive I am, I hope you understand." Heracross replied.

Scizor grinned. "I understand perfectly, don't worry."

Heracross got closer and moved his hand to her cheek, feeling it.

"You want to fool around a bit before the challenge starts, I can tell." Scizor said.

"Maybe, and first, at this point, I don't know if fooling around is the right term. And second, I've heard that there are others that don't want us together." Heracross said.

"Yeah. Monferno keeps bugging me about our relationship when I come into the cafeteria in a good mood." Scizor confirmed.

"And Sandslash is worried you may pull a stunt like the laser shooting challenge." Heracross said.

"Honestly his concern is justified." Scizor admitted.

"That's what I figured. Are we sure we should keep doing this?" Heracross asked. "If more find out-

Scizor cut him off by kissing him. "I think you and I both don't want to end this now. We love each other too much to quit now, right?"

"... Right." Heracross replied.

"I find it amusing that you're the one being worried about this." Scizor said.
"Oh, I'm amusing now?" Heracross asked, grinning at her.

She grinned back. "Very amusing."

"Well, this amusing guy finds you very hot. How about that?" Heracross asked.

"Then I think that's even more amusing." Scizor replied.

"... Fuck it." Heracross said, as he grabbed her and made out with her.

They made out lovingly and embraced each other.

00000000000000

Scizor: "I think that was the first time I started it…. It felt great. Plus, he shouldn't worry too much. We are two mature people who love each other. I promised him I'll try not to repeat what I did last to remove that worry so I don't see much of the harm."

Heracross: He was panting. "Why does she have so much energy?!"

00000000000000

Snorunt and Croagunk were grouped up in the forest.

"Okay Snorunt. We need to focus and think of what we can do for this challenge." Croagunk said.

"Why are we working together again?" Snorunt asked.

"Because Heracross told me and I quote, 'I don't trust Snorunt doing this alone, you do something with her.'" Croagunk replied.

"Oh right!" Snorunt said cheerfully. "Well what if we make you an Ice Ninja?"

"Excuse me, what?" Croagunk asked

"It's easy. We show off your skills as a ninja using my ice. I can make ice throwing stars, targets and more. It would work well with both of us using our abilities don't you think?" Snorunt explained.

Croagunk looked at her, then He smirked. "Let's get to work Snorunt."

00000000000

Croagunk: "By far, this is the best idea she's ever had."

Snorunt: She had an ice throwing star in hand. "Hy-Ya!" She threw it at the camera, breaking the lens.

Bruce: He was fixing the camera. "Why the hell is it my job to fix a stupid camera? Couldn't Jaba or Hannibal hire some interns or something like that?"

000000000000

Jaba, Hannibal, and Bruce were at the judge's booth, making final preparations.

"Okay, score cards check, booth check, stage check, seats check. Is there anything I'm missing?" Jaba asked
"Your sanity." Bruce replied.

"Haha, very funny Bruce." Jaba said sarcastically
"Well I can't wait what the contestants cook up. I hope it won't be boring." Hannibal commented.
"We did cast a lively group of teenagers. I'm sure that they will cook up something good." Jaba pointed out.

"True true. Then let's start this show." Hannibal said, grinning

"Very well." Jaba said. He picked a microphone that was connected to the loudspeaker. "Everyone head to the stage! It's time for the talent show!"

Everyone arrived at the stage and taking the seat, which were divided by team.

"Everyone, it is time for the challenge. During the acts you are able to sit in those seats or go backstage to prepare or whatnot. Now… who wants to go first?" Jaba asked.

"We will!" Snorunt shouted.

"Okay. Snorunt, Croagunk, come onto the stage and show us what you've got." Jaba said as Snorunt and Croagunk came onto the stage.

Croagunk sat in the center stage as if he was meditating, while Snorunt ran off somewhere. A haze started to come over the stage. Suddenly, 4 throwing stars made of ice started to be thrown at Croagunk. As they got closed to him… Croagunk caught them all with ease… His eyes closed the whole time.

"Wow… that's pretty cool" Sandslash said.

Croagunk, his eyes still closed, dodged a bunch of ice throwing stars that were being him, taking a good amount of them in his hands. Then ten ice targets appeared on the stage and Croagunk shot the stars at them… hitting a perfect bullseye every time.

"Woah! And that was with his eyes closed too." Monferno said.

Croagunk finally opened his eyes and went to stage right. He stood there until… he was gone in the haze…. Like he was never there. Seconds later he appeared on stage left in the exact same stance he was in before.. Only now Snorunt standing right next to him, to everyone's surprise.

"And we're done!" Snorunt cheered.

Everyone was clapping from their performance.

"Well then you two, that was at great first performance." Jaba said. "I'll give you both a 7/10. Bruce, Hannibal?

"3. Boring to me." Bruce remarked.

"Eh, 5." Hannibal said, sounding bored as well.

"That gives you a score of 14… so less than half" Jaba said.

"Eh." Croagunk said simply before he took Snorunt and got off the stage.

"Alright. Who's next?" Jaba asked

"I'll do it." Monferno said

"Okay, Monferno. Show us what you got." Jaba said as Monferno got on the stage.

Monferno snapped her fingers and made fireballs appear around her. She took one in her hand and threw it in the air. She then took the others and added to other first fireball to create a big ball of fire. She then jumped up and used Thunder Punch on the ball, causing it to burst. The pieces of it were charged with electricity as they fell and sparked. They all fell unto the stage without causing a fire. Monferno then snapper her fingers again and they all just sparked out of existence.

"Hmm. Nice job Monferno. I'll give that a 5." Jaba said

"Fire is my favorite toy. I'll make it a 7." Hannibal said.

"4. Fire and electricity is a nice combo." Bruce admitted.

"That give you 16 Monferno. Nice job." Jaba said. Monferno nodded and walk back to the seats sitting next to Dragagle

"Great job out there Monferno." Dragalge commented

Monferno smiled. "Thanks Dragalge."

"Alright, who's next?" Jaba asked
"I will!" Smeargle shouted

"Alright. Smeargle. Let's see it." Jaba said. Smeargle going onstage.

A canvas and paint were all on the stage and Smeargle looked at it and went to work very fast. No one could really tell what she was doing as she went on. Soon enough she was done, she was covered in different paint colors but she was done nonetheless. He showed the painting off. It was a painting of Jaba, Hannibal, and Bruce in an 8-bit video game style… and it was painted perfectly. Just about everyone was speechless at this.

"...9." Jaba said simply

"... 7." Hannibal said.

"... 6." Bruce added

"You got 22 points. Not bad." Jaba said as Smeargle got of the stage with her new masterpiece. "Next?"

"I guess I'll do it." Scizor said
"Okay Scizor… Nothing illegal" Jaba said.

"Yeah, Yeah," Scizor said as she got on stage.

Scizor got onstage and pulled out a dummy from backstage. She set it center stage as she then started to cut it with her claws and kick it repeatedly, the dummy didn't look like it was really taking damage though. After a little while she stopped. Nothing happened until he lightly kicked the dummy's chest… and the whole then just burst and collapsed to the ground. Scizor grinned. "I think I did some good work to this dummy. What do you think?"

"Well.. that happened. I'll give you a 5." Jaba said

"8, but not 10 because you didn't do that to a real person." Hannibal said.

"7, same reason." Bruce added.

"That's a 20 Scizor. Your team is still winning thanks to Smeargle so no worries" Jaba said as Scizor sat back down

Monferno looked at Scizor as she sat down. "Where did you learn to do that?"

Scizor gave her a look. "Juvie"

Monferno facepalmed forgetting that.

Zoroark looked at Heliolisk and went to him. "Hey, feeling okay?" He asked.

"No… Today suck… majorly" Heliolisk sadly replied.

Zoroark grew a kind smile and patted Heliolisk's back. "Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure it'll be alright."

"I'm not so sure about that." Heliolisk said.

Zoroark placed an arm around him and brought Heliolisk to him. "Well, telling someone about it helps. Wanna tell me what happened?"

Heliolisk looked at Zoroark. He didn't really know him… but it would help him. "I had a crush on Sandslash and I told him after your team left last week. I even kissed him… but so did Excadrill. So all day so far Excadrill and I were trying to tell him how much we loved him and then he ran from us. When he came back he made his choice… and chose Excadrill…" Heliolisk explained, on the verge of tears from talking about it.

Zoroark frowned and wiped the tears from his eyes. "It'll be alright. Just calm down okay, just ease in."

"How can I calm down?" Heliolisk asked. "I've had no one all my life… My parents tend to be very busy so normally I'm alone at home. And any guy I've ever had a crush on was either straight or taken… Sandslash was the first guy I actually had a chance to be with… and I lost that… I'm just heartbroken."

Zoroark saw this, and gained an idea. "Well… I'm not taken."

"Wha.. What are you talking about?" Heliolisk asked.

"I said, I'm not taken." Zoroark said, winking at him.

Heliolisk blushed. "But.. I thought you were straight."

"Assuming genders are we? I have you know that I'm open minded to both genders." Zoroark replied.

"You are?" Heliolisk said, still blushing. He wasn't going to deny that Zoroark was hot.

He smiled and pulled Heliolisk slowly to gave him a long kiss. "Does that answer your question?"

Heliolisk nodded. "But you don't even know me."

"Well, how about you start telling me about yourself?" Zoroark offered.

Heliolisk looked at him for a moment before forming a small smile. "Okay."

Zoroark smiled as well. "Good then."

000000000000000

Heliolisk: "I didn't think Zoroark would be opened minded like that… but he really nice when comforting me while I was sad. It felt really nice. I.. I think I'll get to know him and be around him more… it'll help me feel better."

Zoroark: He was looking at the wall, thinking. "Hmm, he could be very useful against Sandslash. I think I'll keep him around long enough to do that. After all, he does need someone to be with, and I need someone to use against Sandslash and Heracross. It's a win-win for all of us."

00000000000000

Sandslash turned and saw how Heliolisk and Zoroark were laughing together, having a good time.

He elbows Heracross and pointed to that scene. "What do you think is going on?"

"Nothing good if Zoroark is involved." Heracross replied. "He'll probably use Heliolisk for something big. Make sure Heliolisk doesn't get attached to him."

"Heracross… I have a feeling that Heliolisk hates me right now." Sandslash pointed out.

"Maybe, but he's sure as hell isn't going to listen to the friend of someone he hates. You need to convince him. After all, you two know what Zoroark did to you two." Heracross pointed out.

Sandslash sighed. "Why me?"

Heracross shrugged. "Think of it as a way to help fix things between you two."

"I guess.. But I can't do it while he's near Zoroark." Sandslash pointed out.

"Alright, then we'll wait for Zoroark to leave for his talent." Heracross said.

"Yeah." Sandslash agreed.

He looked back as the two were laughing some more. Zoroark whispered something into Heliolisk's ear and he blushed madly.

"This… This is going to be something." Sandslash said with a sigh

The next two were Cacturne and Liepard. Cacturne got a boom box as it was playing some nice jazz. The two then started dancing well with each other.

Liepard smiled. "Wow, this is so nice."

Cacturne smile with her as he twirled her around the stage. He caught her as they were dancing all over the stage.

Eventually though, the music stopped and so did they.

"That was beautiful, 8." Jaba said.

"6, I always liked me some Jazz." Bruce admitted.

"I'll go with the big guy here and say 6 as well." Hannibal added.

"That's a 20 for you two. Highest from your team, but not enough to beat Smeargle." Jaba said.

"Well at least we tried." Liepard said with a smile.

"Yeah, and ya were great." Cacturne said.

Liepard blushed. "So were you."

Cacturne smiled as he got them off the stage.

"Alright, Who is next?" Jaba asked.

"Me and Beheeyem will be." Zoroark spoke out. "Wish me luck, okay?" Zoroark asked Heliolisk.

"Good Luck." Heliolisk said.

Zoroark scratched his right ear before he went out on stage, preparing for his show.

Sandslash took that chance to go over to Heliolisk. "Heliolisk, can we talk?"

"About what?" Heliolisk asked, his tone cold.

"About you and Zoroark suddenly being best friends in the whole world. Don't you remember that he almost gave you hypothymia last week?" Sandslash asked.

"Yeah, I do." Heliolisk replied. "But I don't care about that. Zoroark just likely did that for the challenge and forgot about me during the volcano eruption. Plus, he's being there for me right now… unlike you."

Sandslash looked sad now. "Heliolisk… are you that upset that I didn't choose you?"

Heliolisk glared a little. "Sandslash… you broke my heart badly… Zoroark is actually being there and helping me recover from that. So if you would, leave me alone." He turned his head away from Sandslash.

Sandslash looked down. "Fine… but just watch out for Zoroark… he's not who you think he is." With that, Sandslash walked away from Heliolisk and back to Heracross.

"Ladies and GentleMon!" Zoroark started. "I will be giving you all a show! Beheeyem here will throw at me barbs, laced with Seviper venom! One touch, and I'll be sent to near death! But fear not," He said as he brought out a laser gun from the previous challenge. "Because I have one of the laser rifles here! I set the setting higher to destroy the barbs on contact! And," He blindfolded himself. "I'll be doing it, blindfolded!"

"Um… The levels of safety that last part is breaking." Druddigon mentioned

"Who gives a shit! Start the show!" Hannibal shouted, grinning big.

Zoroark snapped his fingers, and Beheeyem sent one at him with really high speeds. Zoroark easily shot it without even looking at it.

"Holy crap!" Monferno shouted.

"His Accuracy stat has to be over leveled!" Smeargle shouted.

Two more were sent at him, and he shot them both out with ease. Beheeyem then sent out a storm of barbs at Zoroark and he dodged and was shooting all of them. One by one, all the barbs were all destroyed, and not a single scratch was on Zoroark.

"Wow.. that should be impossible" Excadrill said.

"Don't you even think about it." Klinklang said, referring to Smeargle.

"I'll have you know that I can use Fire Blast." Smeargle restored.

"You could, but it wouldn't do shit because of your horrible . stat." Klinklang simply replied.

"... I can't tell if I should be mad at you or impressed." Smeargle said.

"Well thank you Zoroark. Glad to see you didn't get hurt. I'll give you 8 because while dangerous, that was great." Jaba said

Hannibal was clapping. "10! Perfect 10! That was a great show!"

Bruce shrugged. "Eh, I liked it how you almost got hit a couple of times….. 7."

"That's 25 so Zoroark and Beheeyem are in the lead now." Jaba announced.

Zoroark grinned at Beheeyem. "Great job out there."

Beheeyem nodded and pointed at him as to say he did a good job as well.

"Aww, you're too kind." Zoroark said as they got off the stage.

Zoroark sat by Heliolisk again. "So, you like?" Zoroark asked.

"Yeah, it was a bit scary to watch you almost get hit by those barbs, but it ended up really amazing. Heliolisk replied.

"Thanks." He noticed Heliolisk was a little sad. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Sandslash just talked to me about how you and I were getting along after what happened during the Ice Castle challenge." Heliolisk answered.

"Oh, so sorry about that. You tend to forget things when a volcano erupts and showers flaming rocks at you." Zoroark said, grinning sheepishly.

"That's what I told him." Heliolisk said.

"Well, forget about him. He's the one who didn't choose you. But I'm here right now." Zoroark said as he hugged Heliolisk.

Heliolisk blushed and hugged back. "Thank you Zoroark."

"Anything for you Heliolisk." Zoroark said as he looked at his face and felt it.

Heliolisk smiled and blushed harder.

Zoroark slowly brought Heiliolsk's face to him.

Heliolisk blushed more and kissed Zoroark.

Zoroark kissed back softly as he had a hand behind Heliolisk's head and pulled him closer.

Heliolisk separates. "After the challenge and elimination are over… can we just spend time together. The two of us, privately?" Heliolisk asked.

Zoroark grinned and scratched Heliolisk's right ear. "Of course, whatever you want."

"Thank you." Heliolisk said simply.

Zoroark pulled Heliolisk for another kiss, as Sandslash saw this.

Sandslash looked and looked sad again. He sighed sadly.

00000000000000

Sandslash: "I know I made the right choice.. I'm not doubting that. But… I feel bad for hurting Heliolisk like that. I hurt him so much that now he's hanging around with the most dangerous Pokemon on this island… minus Bruce and Hannibal. I want to at least be friends with him but." He sighs. "I guess that may never happen… Life sucks."

Heliolisk: "Zoroark is nicer than I thought he was. He was so caring for me after seeing me sad. He just wanted to help me and it felt great having someone like that with me… given how bad I was feeling."

Zoroark: "I hope the brothers back at home realizes why I'm doing this. Don't want to send the wrong message or anything like that." He then grins. "But rest assured, I'm going to have lots of fun with this. Especially since Heliolisk hates Sandslash. Oh the fun we'll have, it'll be too much."

000000000000000

Banette was next as she had a magician's hat.

"I'm assuming that you will be performing a magic show Banette?" Jaba asked.

"Oh, I'm doing more than just that. Watch and be amazed!" Banette shouted.

But what she was doing was so shocking, so terrifying, so insane, that everyone's jaw dropped. It was too much for some to bear at what was going on.

"My eyes!" Snorunt shouted in fear, Croagunk covered her eyes.

Cofagrigus had to make sure Druddigon didn't die out of the intensity. "Dude! You still alive?!" Cofagrigus shouted.

"Yeah… still alive… but I think I saw my life flash before me." Druddigon said a little weakly.

Cacturne covered Liepard's eyes as he protected her from anything else she would've seen.

Zoroark was just staring, like it was an art show.

After the show finally stopped, she looked at the three judges. "Well, how did I do?" Banette asked.

"ZERO!" All three of them said at once.

"Aww, okay." Banette said as she left the stage, a little crestfallen.

Zoroark shook himself and looked at Heliolisk. "Still alive?"

"Somehow." Heliolisk simply replied.

00000000000000

Druddigon: "I seriously saw my life flash before my eyes… There was an extreme lack of compassion to others." He shrugged.

Smeargle: "I… I… I… I… I…" She collapsed in the confessional.

Klinklang: "... There were things I saw, that should NEVER have been put to reality! What I just saw….. It changes you."

Zoroark: Zoroark just looked amazed. "That…. Was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. So much chaos ,so much madness, so much mind fuckery…. It was like I was watching the Lumiose Tower being made right before my eyes."

Banette: Banette looked generally confused. "I don't know why everyone's so upset. All I did was-"

Jaba: "for the sake of everyone's sanity and protection, we had to cut everything related to…. Banette's show, of this episode. Please resume your regular programming.

0000000000000000

"Alright…. Who's next?" Jaba asked.

"Well, we'll be next." Heracross replied.

"I'm not sure I'm ready after what I just saw." Excadrill said.

Sandslash whispered in her ear "The plan, remember?"

Excadrill nodded and smiled. "Nevermind, Let's do it."

As the three went to the stage to prepare, Zoroark saw Heliolisk's look. "Hey Heliolisk, I know what should help."

"What?" Heliolisk asked.

"Well you see, Heracross and Sandslash don't like me. So I've been pulling tricks on them. Wanna help me against them?" Zoroark offered.

"What kind of trick are you thinking of exactly?" Heliolisk asked.

"Well, you see what they're doing over there?" Zoroark asked as they see the three making holes and Ice Hammers.

"It looks like a game of Whack a Mole" Heliolisk pointed out

"Yes, so I'm guess Sandslash and Excadrill would probably be the moles, and they wouldn't want to get hit, right?" Zoroark asked.

"Right." Heliolisk said

He grins. "Let's make sure that they do, a lot."

"But how?" Heliolisk asked.

"Oh, so you're willing to help me?" Zoroark asked, grinning darkly.

"I'm not sure… They're still on my team and if they find out I messed with them I could be voted off." Heliolisk said.

"That might be true, but they broke your heart, left you for the scraps. Don't you want… revenge?" Zoroark tempted. "Don't you want to give them… what they deserve?"

Heliolisk looked at them, then back at Zoroark "... I kinda do."

Zoroark grinned darkly. "We need to show them what happens when they mess with your emotions. Don't worry, once you'll do it once, it'll be easier for you to do it more. So, what do you say?" Zoroark asked as he reached out his hand. "Want to join me with messing with them?"

Heliolisk looked at Zoroark, before he took his hand. "Okay." He then kissed him again.

Zoroark grinned. "Perfect."

00000000000000

Heracross got everything ready. "Ladies and GentleMons, I have prepared a game for you all to see. But I need a volunteer!" This wasn't as Sandslash and Excadrill planned.

Heracross sees Bruce. "Hey Bruce, why don't you play? It'll be fun."

"Hmm. Okay." Bruce said.

"That's not comforting… is it?" Excadrill asked

"No. Reserve a hospital bed now." Sandslash said

"Now, the game is simple Bruce. With this Ice Hammer in your hands, you'll be hitting Excadrill and Sandslash as they pop up. If you can manage to hit them 20 times, you can keep the hammer. Sound fair?" Heracross asked.

"Sounds fun." Bruce simply said

"Heracross… is this a good idea?" Excadrill asked.

"Don't worry about it. After all, you two WERE planning something to not get hit, right?" Heracross asked, as if he knew what they were planning.

Both Sandslash and Excadrill went wide eyed hearing that.

"Now, I'll give you Bruce three minutes to try to hit them 20 times. You will stop when I say it's over. Are you ready?" Heracross asked.

"Yes" Bruce said

"Well, then let's begin!" Heracross shouted.

Bruce went to the hole Sandslash was at and went to hit him but Sandslash went down quickly.

"Now?" Excadrill asked as she went down before Bruce could hit her.

"We have no choice" Sandslash said before using Frost Breath on Bruce when he went to hit him.

"The hell are you doing?" Bruce asked.

"Bye" Sandslash said as he went down his hole.

Bruce went to Excadrill, but she fired Mud-Slap at him and went down.

Bruce was now growling, the plan was working.

They kept doing this to the laughter of the others. Zoroark and Heliolisk were watching

"So what are you doing?" Heliolisk asked.

"Follow me." Zoroark replied as he took him to the side of the stage.

Later on, they were met with Beheeyem. "Heliolisk, this is my partner Beheeyem. Say hi Beheeyem." Zoroark said.

Beheeyem waved.

"Now, this is how we're going to mess with them. First off, do you know Thunder Wave by any chance?" Zoroark asked.

"Yeah, why?" Heliolisk asked.

"Simple, you'll take care of Sandslash, I'll take care of Excadrill, and Beheeyem here will make sure Bruce actually aims. Ready?" Zoroark asked.

"Ready." Heliolisk replied.

Zoroark grinned. "Then let's begin."

Zoroark snapped his fingers and Beheeyem pointed at Bruce. Bruce was now timing his shots now as Excadrill got disoriented.

"Uh.. My hea-" Excadrill started before getting hit by the hammer and falling down her hole.

"Excadrill!" Sandslash shouted.

Heliolisk saw the opportunity and used Thunder Wave on Sandslash, paralyzing him.

"I..I can't move." Sandslash said before Bruce hit him.

Beheeyem then pointed to Excadrill and Sandslash, as they felt compelled to go back up for some reason.

They did just that but Bruce hit them easily when they did.

This kept going on as Heliolisk saw it all. A rush of excitement and thrill was rushing in his body as he saw their plan working.

"...Time!" Heracross shouted.

Bruce stopped. "How did I do?"

"You hit…. 23 times. You can keep the hammer." Heracross replied.

"Wonderful. 10." Bruce said as he went back to his seat

"I'm giving it a 9. It was very good, but it's not a 10 because I didn't get to go up there." Hannibal said.

"I'll give it a 5… I think Sandslash and Excadrill might have gotten cuconsions from that." Jaba said. "But that gives you 24 points so Zoroark is still leading."

Heracross helped Sandslash and Excadrill get out of the holes and back to the seats. "Mind telling me what the hell happened back there?" Heracross asked.

"I started to get paralyzed somehow." Sandslash said

"And I got disoriented" Excadrill said

"... This isn't a good sign." Heracross said.

Meanwhile, Zoroark and the other two were hidden in the forest, as Zoroark was laughing. "That was excellent work Heliolisk, how did it feel?" Zoroark asked.

"It felt... Really good." Heliolisk admitted

Zoroark grinned and got closer. "Then wouldn't you love it if we did that, more often?"

Heliolisk blushed. "If I can be with you while doing it. I wouldn't mind too much."

Zoroark petted his head. "Of course, I wouldn't want it any other way."

Heliolisk smiled. "That's great."

Zoroark gave Beheeyem a look that said, "Don't worry, I'll explain later." He then pulled Heliolisk in to kiss him.

Heliolisk kissed Zoroark lovingly.

000000000000000

Beheeyem: She shook her head with a shrug

Heliolisk: "Zoroark was right, that was fun. It really helped me feel better. He's so great."

Zoroark: Zoroark cackled. "The war between me and Heracross, has now begun. Your move, beetle."

000000000000000

It was a while, before the three came back to the seats before anyone else was next. Sandslash looked at Heliolisk.

"Heracross… I was paralyzed… And Heliolisk is the only Electric type here." Sandslash pointed out.

Heracross looked at Heliolisk. "You think Zoroark got him involved with what happened at the stage?"

"That's all I can think of." Sandslash replied.

"... It wouldn't surprise me if he did. You need to talk to Heliolisk after the challenge, before Zoroark can influence him anymore." Heracross advised.

"Okay, I will." Sandslash said.

"Alright, who's next?" Jaba asked.

"I'll do it." Krookodile said as he got up on stage.

"Now," Krookodile started as he pulled out a laser gun. "I need a volunteer, anyone?"

"I'll do it!" Hannibal shouted as he got on stage.

"Alright Hannibal, have you heard of the game Russian Roulette?" Krookodile asked.

"Krokodile.. What are you planning!?" Jaba asked.

"Like I said, just a good old game of Russian Roulette. This laser is busted, it only works half the time. A 50% chance of working. Me and Hannibal here will play, until one of us get's shocked. Sound fair Hannibal?" Krookodile asked.

"Fuck yeah, I've been meaning to get back at you from the first day." Hannibal replied.

"Krookodile… I wish you luck. Begin." Jaba said

Krookodile went first. He pointed the gun at himself and, "click." Nothing.

Hannibal was next and, "click." Nothing.

Krookodile flipped his coin and grinned. He pointed the gun at himself and, "click." Nothing.

Hannibal grabbed the gun and pointed it at himself as, "Zap!" The gun fired on Hannibal and was knocked out.

"I win." Krookodile said, grinning.

"Well then. I give that a 10… because he deserved that." Jaba said.

"I'll give it an 8. Just because Hannibal told me to do intern work." Bruce added.

Hannibal went back to the stage after a while and crossed his arms. "0."

"18 Krookodile. Not enough but still enjoyable." Jaba said

Krookodile grinned as he left the stage.
It was Klinklang next.

"Okay Klinklang, what do you have for us today?" Jaba asked

"I would like to use my brain as my talent." Klinklang replied. "As me any logic question, any at all. And I'll answer it correctly. Go ahead, try me."

"Okay… Um…. What is 88 + 4 +3 + 63 + 85?" Jaba asked.

"243." Klinklang answered almost immediately.

"Whats 234 x 3453?" Hannibal asked randomly.

"839079." Klinklang replied instantly, sounding bored.

"Say the alphabet backwards." Bruce said.

"Zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba." Klinklang replied again.

"What's the answer to the universe?!" Hannibal shouted.

"42." Klinklang replied.

"Who was the first one on this island?" Jaba asked.

"Smeargle." Klinklang replied

"Um… How did you know that?" Smeargle asked.

"You told Emolga that as she was applying makeup on you that day. In which she eventually told me." Klinklang replied.

"Alright then." Smeargle said

"One last question… Which of the three of us created the Idol?" Jaba asked

"Bruce did, since you told Hannibal to do it and Hannibal was too lazy, so he had Bruce do intern work and created the Idol." Klinklang replied.

Jaba glared at Hannibal. "I thought you made sure to hire interns."

Hannibal nervously laughed. "Sorry, budget cuts."

Jaba groaned. "Klinklang you get an 8 from me."

"7." Bruce simply said.

"6. Would've been higher if you did answer that last question." Hannibal said.

"That's 21 for you. Not enough to lead." Jaba said.

Klinklang nodded and left the stage. It was Coffagrigus and what was supposed to be Druddigon next, but he's nowhere to be found.

"Um… where is Druddigon?" Jaba asked

"Right here." Cofagrigus replied, as Druddigon came out of the coffin, mummified and roared at everyone, scaring them all.

"What the actual fucking hell man!?" Sandslash said, Excadrill was now underground from the scare.

Cacturne and Zoroark were the ones who didn't flinch as they chuckled at the other's fright.

Jaba took a deep breath and looked at the two. "Is that all from your act?"

"Well, unless you want more?" Cofagrigus asked.

"NO!" The majority of the people watching said.

"You get a 4 from me guys." Jaba said.

"Well that's a big fat 10 from me. Loved it when you scared all the other contestants." Hannibal said, grinning.

"Same." Bruce simply added.

"24. You're team is still in the lead but you are not." Jaba said.

Druddigon shrugged. "Whatever. I'll be backstage to get all this off of me."

"Sandslash, I'll be back." Heracross said as he left for a while.

"Okay… Oh Crap! Excadrill come back up!" Sandslash shouted.

000000000000

Druddigon was backstage taking off the mummy wrappings off of him.

"Well, you sure gave almost everyone there a good scare." Heracross said as he came to Druddigon.

"Woah!" Druddigon said as he turned to Heracross. "Not cool dude!"

"Whoops, did I scare you like you did to the others?" Heracross asked.

"Yes and… Damn karma." Druddigon grumbled

"Well, I came to ask if you have thought about my proposal?" Heracross asked.

Druddigon sighed. "Yeah, I thought about it."

"And?" Heracross asked.

"I've made a decision." Druddigon replied. "It's-"

00000000000000

Druddigon: He just looked at the camera and sighed.

0000000000000

"Alright. Who's next?" Jaba said.

"I'll do it I guess." Dragalge said as he got up on stage.

"Alright. Show us what you can do King." Jaba said.

"I, can do comedy." Dragalge revealed. "Now, there's a doctor and a patient. The doctor says, "Alright sure, I have bad news, and worse news. The bad news is that you're going to die in the next 24 hours." "Well how can there be any worse news than that?" Said the patient. "Well sir," The doctor said. "The worse news was that I was trying to contact you since yesterday.""

Hannibal and Bruce laughed madly to that, while Jaba just kept watching.

Some of the other contestants like Zoroark and Cacturne laughed madly to that as well.

Monferno didn't laugh and just watched Dragalge.

"Now, fair warning, this is a cruel joke. How do you make a Cubone's hands bleed? You tell it to clap until its mother comes home." Dragalge said.

Monferno gasped at hearing that joke.

Hannibal and Bruce laughed harder.

Zoroark, Cacturne, and some more laughed with them.

"Now, why are Charizard's always smelling so badly? They would literally rather die than to take a swim." Dragalge said.

Monferno gasped again, that joke hitting her a bit due to her being a fire type.

Some like Cacturne and Zoroark were still laughing. Heracross, Klinklang, Druddigon, Banette, Cofagrigus, Scizor, and Mismagius were laughing hard as well.

Bruce was laughing madly while Hannibal was on the ground laughing uncontrollably.

"Now, what is the difference between a Trubbish and a trash bag? One is repulsive, disgusting, and is impossible to stand close to without gagging. The other is a trash bag." Dragalge said.

Monferno just looked at Dragalge, while others around her were still laughing.

Now Bruce was on the ground laughing like Hannibal. Jaba still looking at Dragalge with a neutral look on his face.

"But wait, there's more." Dragalge said. "One day, my sister, and I were just living in our house, being all nice and comfortable. One day, my sister shrieked. She came to the living room and said that there was this disgusting monster in the kitchen. With disgusting teeth, a horrendous face, and just had the face of an ugly monster. We look at the kitchen and she asks what's so funny. I said. "That's not an ugly monster, that's just a Raticate."

A lot of the contestants laughed at the joke since it was the only non-morbad or mean spirited one. Monferno even laughed a little bit.

Jaba chuckled a small bit while Hannibal and Bruce were still on the ground.

"Is that all Dragalge?" Jaba asked

"Wait, I got the best one of all." Dragalge said. "Now, what do Mandibuzz call a Cubone when they see one, crying for it's mommy? Lunch."

A lot of the ones who laughed from the last joke stopped but there was still laughter… especially from Hannibal and Bruce. Monferno just looked at Dragalge.

"Alright Dragalge, I assume that was it?" Jaba asked

"Yep." Dragalge replied.

"I only laughed at one joke so I'll give you a 2." Jaba said

While Hannibal was still laughing. "FUCK YOU JABA! I'M GIVING THAT A THIRTEEN!"

"It's out of ten you dumbass!" Jaba yelled.

"AND YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR!" Hannibal shouted. "I'M GIVING IT A THIRTEEN!"

Bruce was still laughing as well. "YEAH! WHATEVER THE WOLF SAID!"

Jaba's eyes twitched. "Thanks to them…. You have 28. You're in the lead Dragalge but your team was already winning"

Dragalge grinned as he went back to the others, while everyone was either laughing too hard, or giving Dragalge a look.

Monferno looked at him. "Dragalge.. Those jokes were.. Horrible."

"Not according to the audience." Dragalge replied as they were still hearing uncontrollable laughter.

"They were just.. Really dark. Not the fourth one though. I honestly liked that one." Monferno admitted.

"I find those jokes to work the best with the audience. It's not like I meant any of it." Dragalge said.

"... Okay" Monferno said.

"Alright. Next?" Jaba asked

"I'll go." Heliolisk said He turned to Zoroark. "Wish me luck."

He kisses Heliolisk. "Good luck."

Heliolisk went on stage And just stood there.

"Um… Heliolisk?" Jaba asked

Suddenly, a ring of electricity surrounded Heliolisk.

Some of the other contestants were wondering what's going.

"What the hell?" Druddigon asked.

Heliolisk raised his hands and expanded the circle. As it got bigger as he did this… It then shaped into a heart.

"What's he doing?" Smeargle asked

Heliolisk took a finger and shot at the electric heart… creating a cracked line down the middle of it. The Symbol of a broken heart.

Sandslash looked at that and looked down upset.

Heliolisk was noticeably was as he did this, but didn't stop. He raised both sides of the broken heart and then he collided them together, creating a show of sparks that glittered down the stage. He wipes his hand and the sparks all went away like nothing. "I'm done."

"... Heliolisk… 7." Jaba said.

"Eh, I liked the light show…. 7." Hannibal said.

Bruce shrugged. "7, but only because Dragalge's jokes put me in a good mood."

"... The fact we all agreed on a score. You got a 21 Heliolisk. Not bad but not enough."

"Okay." Heliolisk said before walking back to his seat.

Zoroark grinned and petted Heliolisk. "You did great out there."

"Thanks Zoroark" Heliolisk said.

"Hey, I think you made Sandslash very sad." Zoroark whispered, pointing at the saddened Sandslash. "Good job."

"That was the point. It was expressing how I was feeling." Heliolisk said.

"Well, I'm here now. So you don't have to feel like that anymore." Zoroark assured, as he kissed Heliolisk.

Heliolisk kissed back. "Thank you Zoroark."

Zoroark grinned as he hugged Heliolisk. Sandslash looked at them and Zoroark gave Sandslash an evil grin.

Sandslash looked shocked… sad… And angry all at once. He just looked down in the end.

00000000000000

Sandslash: "Zoroark… fuck, he's using Heliolisk to make me feel horrible! He must have known about what happened… Even before Heliolisk told him. But how… and why is he doing it. I have to talk to Heracross later."

Heliolisk: "I'm glad Zoroark has been with me all challenge. He's helped me feel so better. If it wasn't for him being there, I may have messed up and shocked everyone while on stage."

Zoroark: "That's 2 for me, and 0 for Sandslash. I'm currently winning this war Heracross. Your move, beetle."

Heracross: "I see where this is going, using Heliolisk against Sandslash. Well, if it's a war you want, then it's a war you're going to get."

00000000000000

"Alright, last one." Jaba said.

Mismagius got to the stage and smiled. "Always save the best for last is what I always say.

"We'll see. You need to get a 29 or 30 to win for your team. You ready?" Jaba asked.

"Oh yeah." Mismagius replied as she got out voodoo dolls of all the contestants. "Get ready for a show!"

She used Psychic and got all the voodoo dolls to dance, making all the contestants get on the stage and do crazy dance moves.

"Um. Mismagius what are you doing!?" Excadrill asked

"Just having you all give a show." Mismagius replied, smiling at her work.

Everyone was going crazy as Druddigon was forced to do the worm.

Monferno laughed at that.

"Stop laughing!" Druddigon roared.

Liepard saw Cacturne was forced to do the robot. She started laughing uncontrollably at the sight.

Klinklang had no legs, so the gears were just moving in an odd fashion. "Kill me." Klinklang groaned.

Mismagius then had Heliolisk and Sandslash do the tango

"Woah! Take it easy Mismagius!" Sandslash said.

"If she goes on your body hard, maybe you'll feel what it's like to be broken." Heliolisk retorted.

"That sounded so wrong. And I said I was sorry Heliolisk!" Sandslash said

Heliolisk didn't say another word as Mismagius had them dance

Cacturne and Liepard were now dancing together like the did before. "Now dis is more my style." Cacturne said, grinning at Liepard.

Liepard grinned back. "I totally agree. Keep it up Mismagius!"

Heliolisk and Sandslash separate as Sandslash was doing the tango with Excadrill now.

"The irony is nowhere near lost in me Mismagius!" Sandslash shouted.

Excadrill giggled and blushed. "Calm down Sandslash. This is fun!"

Sandslash smiled "Then let me gladly give you your first dance."

Druddigon was now forced to do the tango with Banette.

She smiled. "Well, this is fun!"

"I guess." Druddigon replied.

"Well, at least you're not the court jester and didn't have to do the worm anymore." Banette pointed out.

"You're not wrong." Druddigon admitted.

"Hey Druddigon, can I ask you a question?" Banette asked.

"Yeah what?" Druddigon asked

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Banette asked.

"Yes.. Very much so." Druddigon replied.

Banette smiled. "Okay, just checking."

00000000000000

Druddigon: "Why does she always ask me that question? All of us think she's bat shit insane!"

00000000000000

Mismagius now had Krookodile dance with her.

Krookodile grinned. "Missy, if you wanted to dance with me so badly, all you had to do was ask."

"Just shut up and dance with me, Kroc." Missy said, grinning back at him.

They were all dancing uncontrollably, until Mismagius stopped them all and put the voodoo dolls away. "So, how did I do?" Mismagius asked.

"My head feels dizzy" Snorunt said.

"That was very funny. And thankfully no one was hurt. I'll give that a 10." Jaba said.

"That was VERY hilarious! Especially Druddigon doing the worm!" Hannibal shouted, laughing.

"Don't remind me!" Druddigon shouted.

"Anyways, I'll give that a 10 as well." Hannibal said.

It was now Bruce to decide things. He looked at Mismagius, then at everyone else. "...10." Bruce simply said.

"Meaning that you for a perfect score of 30! Mismagius and The Deadly Darkrais Win!" Jaba announced.

All the Deadly Darkrais cheered loudly. They finally won another challenge again.

"Giratinas. I'm sorry but you must go back to the Campfire Ceremony. We will see you all in two hours to see who is next to get voted off." Jaba said.

00000000000000

Heracross: "Well, now that the challenge is over…. It's time to get serious.

Dragalge: "The only reason I'm not pissed off that we lost again was because I was the closest to winning it for us. So it's not the worst thing that could happen to me."

Sandslash: "Here goes nothing. I can easily get him when Zoroark leaves for elimination. I've got to make sure Heliolisk doesn't stay with him."

00000000000000

Heracross was off to do something important when Sandslash met him. "Sandslash, anything you need?" Heracross asked.

"Any advice on what to tell Heliolisk?" Sandslash asked.

"Be honest, remind Heliolisk of what Zoroark did to him, what he did to you, and what he's planning to do about all of us." Heracross advised.

"Okay. I'll do my best." Sandslash said. "Um.. What are you doing by the way?"

"Something that needs to be done. I'll explain more afterwords." Heracross said as he took off.

"Okay. Now to find Heliolisk." Sandslash told himself as he went to find Heliolisk.

Heracross went and found Scizor. "Scizor, can we talk for a moment?" Heracross asked.

"Is that really a question? What's up?" Scizor asked

"I, have some information, that I need you to share with the others about." Heracross replied, sounding serious.

"What is this information?" Scizor asked quietly.

"... It's about.-"

00000000000000

Scizor: "Wow…. That information was serious. I've got to spread that around."

Heracross: Heracross sighed. "It had to be done."

Jaba, Hannibal, and The Grandiose Giratinas were all at the campfire pit for the elimination.

"Welcome Grandiose Giratinas to your fourth elimination. You managed to miss one elimination but came back for another. I certainly hope you weren't cursed again." Jaba said.

"I double checked that we weren't." Banette muttered to herself.

"I got eight Oran Berries and nine of you. I think you know the drill." Jaba said. "The first berries go to… Dragalge, Zoroark, and Beheeyem."

They all grinned as they gladly got their berries.

"... Smeargle… and Monferno." Jaba said.

Beheeyem gave them their berries.

"Scizor… and Druddigon." Jaba said.

They both got their berries and grinned.

It was now Banette and Cofagrigus.

"Looks like a ghost is going home today. Banette and Cofagrigus, both of you didn't score in the highest for you team, so either one of you could go home tonight… the last berry goes to…." Jaba said

"Oh please, we all know that you want me gone more for-" Banette started.

"Will you people stop interrupting me during the suspense!?" Jaba yelled out. He then sighed. "The last Oran Berry goes to Banette."

She caught her berry and inspected it. "Hmm, weird."

Cofagrigus was shocked. "Wait, I was voted out?! Why?!"

Scizor scoffed. "Cofagrigus, you should know full well. After all, you've been going on borrowed time since you got Staravia to go."

"What do you mean by that?" Cofagrigus asked.

"Your party, Alliance Cofagrigus. We know you are in one." Smeargle revealed.

"What? How did…." He stopped talking, he knew that nothing he would say would fix this. "Well…. I guess I'll be going now. Later everyone." He slowly got up and left.

Druddigon looked at him as he left.. He didn't show it but he was guilty. He got up and walked to the dock.

00000000000000

Druddigon: "I… I told Heracross… I ratted Cofagrigus out. I got my only actual friend in this game eliminated… Now I feel like shit."

00000000000000

Cofagrigus was about to leave when-

"Cofagrigus wait!" Druddigon shouted running to him

Cofagrigus turned around. "Oh, hey Druddigon, you came to see me off?"

"Yeah and… To tell you… I'm sorry." Druddigon said, looking and sounding pretty sad.

"Sorry? For what?" Cofagrigus asked.

"I didn't vote for you… but I'm the reason you got voted off." Druddigon admitted.

"... You…. You were the one who told everyone?" Cofagrigus asked.

"Not exactly…" Druddigon said sounding very guilty. "After Staravia left, Heracross figured out that we were in an alliance. He came to me last week about it and gave me the choice to tell him you are in alliance and he'd just pass that around… or not say another and have the risk that we're both in that alliance getting us both eliminated… I chose to tell him that you were."

"... Well, I'm not going to lie, that was a dick move. But… I'm kinda glad that you did choose to rat me out." Cofagrigus admitted.

"What why?" Druddigon asked

"This alliance was my idea in the first place. If I got you out because of me, I probably would feel the same way too. At least you and Dragalge are safe." Cofagrigus said, grinning at him.

"You… you mean that?" Druddigon asked

"Yeah,"Cofagrigus replied as he bumped Druddigon's shoulder. "Cause that's what bros are for."

Druddigon smiled. "Thanks man… I'll win this for you. I promise."

"You better have. Or I'll kick your ass if you don't." Cofagrigus said as he got on the Lapras.

Druddigon watched as his only friend the island sailed away on his Lapras…. Druddigon walked off the dock and to the bench to be alone.

000000000000000

Cofagrigus: "Damn, didn't know Heracross was that smart to find out so quickly. Kudos to him I guess. But at least Dragalge and Druddigon are okay, so that's a plus. As to everyone else, sorry that you found out like that, I was hoping I could be here for a little longer." He shrugs. "Oh well, not like I get a second chance. Anyways, good luck Druddigon! And goodbye to everyone else, your prankster is officially off the island!"

Druddigon: "I feel horrible about what I did.. But I'm glad that Cofagrigus doesn't hate me for it… I'm going to win this game now. I'm going to win for my friend."

000000000000000

"And that is why you saw me with Heliolisk, understand now?" Zoroark asked Beheeyem. They were at their usual spot again.

Beheeyem nodded to him in understanding for his plan.

"Besides, Heliolisk isn't really the one I'm interested with on this island, he's only needed against Sandslash." Zoroark said.

Beheeyem nodded.

"Besides, there's someone else that I'm truly interested with on this island." Zoroark admitted.

Beheeyem gave him a questioning look.

Zoroark was thinking to himself until he shook it off. "Ah, it's nothing. Nothing important really. Well, gotta go. I have an appointment to go to. I'll see you later Beheeyem." Zoroark said as he patted her shoulder and left her.

Beheeyem blushed a bit as he left.

000000000000000

Beheeyem: She was blushing and swooning. She felt like she still had a chance with Zoroark.

Zoroark: Zoroark cackled. "Oh yeah, this is going to be fun alright."

00000000000000

Sandslash was walking around looking for any sign of Heliolisk. He finally found him in the forest. "Heliolisk! I need to talk to you!"

Heliolisk looked at Sandslash. "About what?"

"About Zoroark!" Sandslash shouted. "Heliolisk think about it. He purposely was trying to burn me alive during capture the flag, you watched that. He intentionally buried you in snow and is likely lying about forgetting about you the way he did. Heliolisk, Zoroark is bad news, He isn't your friend! He's trying to use your weakness and loneliness right now to get at me and mess with me. He doesn't really care about you. During the challenge while he was holding you after your performance, he gave be and evil smirk like he was doing it all on purpose! You've got to believe me Heliolisk."

Heliolisk looked at him. "Why should I believe you after you broke my heart Sandslash? Why should I after what you did to me!? You left me for Excadrill and I was broken Sandslash! But you know what, Zoroark was there for me. He was there to comfort me and be with me today. So I'm sorry if this should be mean, but I don't believe you and I won't. I hate you Sandslash! Now get away from me!"

Sandslash heard all of that and was hurt badly. Zoroark saw this and grinned, perfect.

He got up and went to Heliolisk. "Heliolisk, you came." Zoroark said as he kissed Heliolisk' cheek.

Heliolisk kissed him back. "Of course I did. I've been here for a bit waiting for you."

Zoroark sees Sandslash. "What's he doing here?"

"Sandslash was trying to tell me that you didn't care about me and that you were using me." Heliolisk replied.

Zoroark looked at Sandslash and whispered to Heliolisk. "Don't listen to him. He just doesn't want to see you happy, he wants me gone so that you could be heartbroken all over again."

Heliolisk understood and looked at Sandslash. "Leave Sandslash... I have nothing to say to you anymore… And neither should you!"

Sandslash saw Zoroark as he gave him an evil grin and waved him off. He mouthed, "He's mine now."

Sandslash, not knowing what else to do, held his head down and walked away from the two of them… when he got pretty far away from them, he started crying at the lose of his friend.

Zoroark turned Heliolisk to him and kissed him. "Now, you ready for that private time?"

Heliolisk kissed back. "Yes I am."

Zoroark grinned as he led Heliolisk deeper into the forest.

000000000000

Sandslash: Sandslash was crying in the confessional. "Why… Why did this have to happen? Why is Zoroark doing this to me? Why…" He couldn't speak anymore.. Only crying.

Heliolisk: "What is Sandslash trying to do telling me lies about Zoroark? It's one thing to break my heart, but now he doesn't want me happy at all…. Asshole."

Zoroark: "This has got to be the greatest plan I had yet. Breaking friendships, using other Pokemon, breaking off a love triangle. And now I have another ally. Yep, greatest plan yet." He cackled.

Krookodile was hanging out in Mismagius's shack. "You know, for no arms or legs, you're not that bad of a dancer." Krookodile admitted.

"Oh shut it Kroc, I can dance way better than you can." Mismagius said, grinning at him.

"So, got anymore ideas for my coin here?" Krookodile asked.

"Actually… no, I've stopped trying to figure it out." Mismagius replied.

"Really? Why?" Krookodile asked, shocked that Mismagius said that.

"Well, I've tried everything. But none of it seemed to work. I'm not saying I believe your fates crap, but I'm not going to try proving you wrong. You can have at it with your stupid coin." Mismagius replied.

Krookodile grinned at Mismagius. "Thanks Missy, that means alot coming from you."

"Yeah whatever, just try saying this to anyone and I'll throw your voodoo doll in the volcano." Mismagius playfully threatened.

Krookodile raised his hands in defense. "Whoa there Missy, I would like to live thank you very much."

Mismagius laughed at Krookodile as he eventually laughed with her.

0000000000000000

Mismagius: Mismagius grinned as she had some of the voodoo dolls with her. "Krookodile may have his coin, but I finally finished my voodoo dolls. Now we'll see which one is more effective. The Fates, or Witchcraft."

Krookodile: "Mismagius is great to be around, you know, if you ignore the fact that she has voodoo dolls of everyone on the island…. I should remind myself to not piss her off as much as I have anymore." Krookodile laughed a little at that."

Druddigon was on the bench when Banette saw him. "Ah, hello my scaly friend. Why so down in the depths of hell?" Banette asked.

"My best and only friend just got voted off because I ratted hmi out… what do you think?" Druddigon replied.

Banette sat by Druddigon. "Sarcasm isn't going to bring your friend back." Banette said.

"Nor is being optimistic Banette." Druddigon retorted.

"But would your friend want to keep seeing you like this? Or would he rather have you kick ass?" Banette asked.

"... He rather would see me kick everyone's ass here and win." Druddigon replied.

"Well, then rise out of the depths of hell my friend! And fight!" Banette shouted.

Druddigon smiled. "Yeah. I will."

"Hey Druddigon, can I ask you a question?" Banette asked.

"If it is about you being crazy, then the answer is yes, you are." Druddigon replied

"Why do you think I'm crazy?" Banette asked out of nowhere.

"... You do realize that your performance today almost killed almost all of us right?" Druddigon asked.

"So I did something really intense and mind blowing. Does one act call me crazy?" Banette asked.

"No, that's just an example. Weeks ago you were going on about serving different Lords. You have the scariest fascination with death and people dying. You have a safe spot that you keep a lot of random stuff at and you more or less cheated the eating challenge and dumped it all somewhere on the island. And that's not all of the examples I have for your insanity, but the point is… you are very crazy." Druddigon replied.

"... Others are afraid of the unknown. When something is different than the others, they freak out and call it a label. So I went through a phase, have my own fascination, cheated a challenge, like collecting things, and say stuff that scares others. But those aren't examples of crazy. That's someone being different, doing things that other people do. The word crazy, doesn't exist. It's something that is labeled on someone for thinking things differently, that their brains are wired differently. Call me crazy, but I'm just me. Don't be afraid of something that may creep you out but never happens, or how someone acts differently, they're just being them. Their own, happy, creative self. I could call you all crazy for many reasons, but that wouldn't mean that you aren't still you, and them are still them. What I'm trying to say is, crazy, is just a label, we're the same Pokemon, we just act different than everyone else does. We're all the same, but we're all different as well." Banette explained.

Druddigon just stared at Banette after she said all that… He had no words.

Banette looked at Druddigon. "Did I break your brain?"

Druddigon nodded.

"Damn, well, I better go to the cabins before the Mightyena's start searching for more victims. Goodnight my scaly friend." Banette said, before she left to go sleep in her cabin, leaving Druddigon to process all that just happened.

Druddigon was trying to process it all… but fell flat on his back while doing it.

000000000000000

Druddigon: "... I got all of what she said and all… but that chick is mega crazy."

Banette: Banette was covered in many bites for some reason. "I guess people will never change. Oh well, I tried. At least everyone is safe for tonight."

Infernape: … What the hell did she just say!? Ugh, anyway, it's over. 68 pages of PokeDrama... Done.

Roran: Ta be honest…. I didn't expect it ta be this long. We literally just went with the flow. There's so much…. I can't describe it all. I just can't.

Infernape: Then don't, don't hurt yourself buddy.

Roran: *Falls flat on the floor with a major head cramp*

Infernape: … Shit. Um, anyway real quick. We lost Cofagrigus, too bad Heracross figured things out or he could have lasted longer. It's sad really.

Roran: ...

Infernape: That's so not good.. Um.. I'll see you all Laterz! MEDIC!

Roran: ….. Until then…. I'll see ya… all later…. Laddies. *Starts seizing*

Infernape: Roran Hold On! WHERE IS THAT MEDIC!?
