Chapter 9: What Haunts Our Dreams
Druddigon was waking up in the infirmary, feeling all better. Since he was a Dragon Type, it takes a lot less time to recover. He only needed to recover for a day.
Druddigon looked around and no Noiverns were in sight and sighed in relief. "Thank Arceus… I'm safe."
Druddigon got out of bed and left the infirmary. He was taking a nice stroll, but he turned around and saw the same female Noivern right by him.
"Holy shit!" Druddigon shouted and he jumped and fell to the ground.
The Noivern giggled as she held a claw out to help him up.
Druddigon backed up in fear. "Get away from me!"
She looked a little saddened by this, but she still wanted to help him up.
Druddigon was still scare of her… The events of the day before still fresh in his mind when all of those Noivern almost killed him in that cave and scarred him for life.
The Noivern saw that he wasn't going to take her claw, so she helped him up anyways.
After she helped him up, Druddigon backed up from her. "Why are you always trying to be around me?"
She blushed and pointed at Druddigon as a response.
"You fucking like me like that?" Druddigon asked in disbelief.
She blushed harder and nodded.
"But you.. You only saw me yesterday after the rest of your kind almost murdered me!" Druddigon shouted.
She shrugged, like she was saying, "Can you blame me?"
"S-Still…" Druddigon said
She held her claw out to Druddigon, practically saying to trust her.
Druddigon looked at her claw… he noticed that she didn't look like someone who was going to kill him in his sleep… but he was still very scared of Noiverns after the previous day… reluctantly, he took her claw.
She gave a kind smile and grabbed Druddigon so that she could have him fly to the skies.
"Woah!" Druddigon shouted. "What are you doing!?"
She giggled as she gave him a trip all around the island.
Druddigon was doing his best to keep a grab on her so he didn't fall… he just got out of the infirmary.
She kept flying high in the skies, as the wind felt Druddigon's face.
When they got around the snowy mountains, Druddigon sneezed.
She giggled at that and took him back to the campground.
They landed near the cabins and Druddigon let go of her.
She gave Druddigon a look, wondering what he thought about the trip.
"It… It was fun." Druddigon admitted
She smiled and gave a kiss on Druddigon's cheek.
"Uhh…" Druddigon started. "Wait, can you not talk?"
She tries to talk, but only broken screeches can be heard.
Druddigon covered his ears when he heard that. "Okay, that's a no. It would be easier for me to understand you if you could say actual words."
She just croons and nuzzles his cheek.
"Do… you want to spend more time with me." Druddigon asked… he was nervous.
She smiled and happily nodded.
Druddigon gulped. He felt like he was going to regret this. "Let's make a deal then… I think I can teach you to say actual words to easier communication.. And in return, we can spend time together, and not just when I'm helping you. Does that sound good to you?"
She smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then it's a deal." Druddigon said, holding up his hand. "Shake on it?"
She shook it pretty quickly and took him flying again.
"Hey wait!" Druddigon yelled out in shock that she took him in the air without warning once again.
00000000000000
Druddigon: "I'm still very much scare of Noiverns.. And I'm a little scared of her but, she doesn't seem like she would kill me… on purpose anyway. But still, maybe this can turn out well for me… I hope."
00000000000000
Scizor was the last one in her cabin, still sleeping. She woke up, and what was beside her was the same Noibat from yesterday.
"What tha?" Scizor said. "I thought I brought you to the cave yesterday."
The Noibat crooned and cuddled with her.
Scizor smiled. "Still the same cutie though… but would your pack be worried about you leaving like that?"
The Noibat just cuddled some more and giggled, making her melt.
"Aww." Scizor said, hugged the Noibat.
The Noibat giggled harder when she hugged him.
Scizor sighed. "Monferno is going to flip out when she sees you with me again."
The Noibat gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Aw… okay, you can stay with me for a while if you want."Scizor said
The Noibat giggled and cuddled with her.
00000000000000
Scizor: "What? I'm a sucker for something cute… and that Noibat is cute. I just hope it's parents don't come by and kill us."
00000000000000
Monferno woke up by the beach, with Dragalge sleeping beside her.
Monferno smiled seeing him… their time last night was great for the both of them.
Dragalge woke up, but looked reluctant to move.
"Good Morning" Monferno said
"Morning, I'll be taking the whole day off if you don't mind." Dragalge said as he lied where he was at.
Monferno laughed. "Was last night that great?"
"Yep, not I won't get up now, too lazy." Dragalge replied.
"You, a king, lazy?" Monferno asked
"A king can have a day off. I don't want to move." Dragalge replied.
Monferno smiled. "Then I guess that I'll stay here with you."
"I'll gladly have that." Dragalge said, as he pulled her in for a hug.
Monferno hugged back as the two just laid there.
00000000000000
Monferno: Monferno happily sighed. "Dragalge is so great. Just laying on the beach with him was so relaxing."
Dragalge: Dragalge was just sleeping in the confessional, snoring away.
0000000000000
Beheeyem woke up in the forest. She must've slept there after what happened last night. She looked around, and couldn't find Zoroark anywhere.
Beheeyem scratched her head for a moment and looks around a bit more in case.
She kept searching for the fox, but couldn't find him anywhere in the area. She was getting worried.
She floated around the forest, looking for Zoroark. She gave up and sat where she was at before.
She made the sighing gesture, worried about where he was.
"Damn, you woke up already? I was hoping I would surprise you." Zoroark said, as he carried and gave her a small table, full of food.
Beheeyem looked at Zoroark in a look of surprise
Zoroark smiled at her. "I was hoping to give you breakfast and surprise you. But I guess this works too."
Beheeyem smiled and kissed him.
"I take it you like?" Zoroark asked.
Beheeyem nodded a lot, smiling
Zoroark smiled back and even fed her some of the food.
She ate it and her face lit up, the food was amazing.
"You like? I stole some food in the kitchen just for you." Zoroark said.
Beheeyem smiled at Zoroark, looking grateful to him.
Zoroark smiled back and fed her more food, treating her like royalty.
Beheeyem loved being treated like this from Zoroark, happily eating the food.
00000000000000
Beheeyem: Beheeyem looked really happy with herself. She loved the way Zoroark was treating her… and they haven't even been together for 24 hours!
Zoroark: Zoroark shrugged. "Eh, why not? I don't have everyone go through hell." Zoroark grins. "Only most of them."
00000000000000
Heliolisk was in his cabin, he hasn't seen Zoroark since last night.
He was pacing. "I hope Zoroark like what I did. I got Snorunt voted out thanks to what I did. But still… Heracross might be looking at me to get me and Zoroark out." He sighed.
There was a knock on the door.
"Um, Come in!" Heliolisk called out sitting on his bed
Klinklang entered. "Hey there Heliolisk. Mind if we have a chat?"
"I guess so. What is it?" Heliolisk asked.
"Just want to have a normal conversation. You know, get to know each other as teammates, sounds fair?" Klinklang asked.
Heliolisk shrugged. "Sure."
000000000000000
Heliolisk: "I'm not sure why Klinklang wants to get to know me all of the sudden… but I'm not stopping him."
Klinklang: "I need to have him trust me. It'll take a while, but I'll be waiting for the right time to get what I need. I hope the others can wait until then."
00000000000000
Sandslash and Excadrill were sitting together on a log in the forest.
Excadrill sighed. "I feel really bad for Snorunt and Croagunk… She gets voted out over something and Croagunk losses his only real friend here."
"Yeah." Sandslash said. "Worse is we didn't vote for her… you didn't right?"
"No, I voted Heliolisk, I thought that was the plan." Excadrill replied.
"It was.. Until something happened." Sandslash said. "Heracross and I voted Snorunt to make it not look suspicious to the team, since no know really knows about Heliolisk."
"Sorry then." Excadrill said.
Sandslash kissed her. "Don't be sorry, there was nothing you could do. You're going great my love."
Excadrill smiled. "Thank you Sandslash."
"No problem Excadrill." Sandslash said with a smile. "Now how about we head back to the campsite? I think it's time for breakfast."
"Okay." Excadrill said getting off the log, holding Sandslahs's claw. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Sandslash said, as they started walking to the cafeteria.
00000000000000
Excadrill: "I know it was last night but I still feel bad from Croagunk. I'm glad that Sandslash is there for me to make me feel better. Man, think if I just stayed a shut in… I would have never met someone like him before."
Sandslash: "I think Heliolisk did something that got Snorunt eliminated… She argued with Klinklang which is something she would have not done normally done. Heracross told me that he talked to Heliolisk… I wonder what kind of corner Heracross backed him into."
000000000000000
Everyone was eating at the cafeteria by this point.
Monferno turned around and saw Scizor come into the cafeteria, with the same Noibat on her right shoulder.
"Scizor! I thought you took the Noibat back to it's cave." Monferno asked.
Scizor sighed. "I did… but it came back to me."
"Why would it do that?" Monferno asked.
"Hell if I know!" Scizor replied.
"Well you gotta bring it back!" Monferno said. "It's pack might come for it!"
The Noibat whined a little and nuzzled Scizor's cheek.
Monferno just looked at her. "Um…"
"Yeah, I think it sees me as more of it's mother then it's pack" Scizor said,
Monferno sighed. "Great… Just great."
"Not if you excuse me, I'm going to get my food and eat." Scizor said, walking past Monferno to get food.
Monferno watched she go and just sighed.
000000000000000
Monferno: "Why is Scizor just letting this Noibat stay with her? It has a family and Scizor can't stay with it forever. What is she thinking?"
Scizor: The Noibat was nuzzling on her cheek. "Aww… So cute!"
00000000000000
Druddigon came into the cafeteria…..with the Noivern by his side. Smeargle widened her eyes.
"Druddigon what is she doing here… And why are you with a Noivern!?" Smeargle asked
"She wanted to be with me after yesterday." Druddigon replied.
"Noivern and Druddigon, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G." Klinklang remarked, earning some chuckles.
"Shut up!" Druddigon shouted.
"Arceus, they grow up so fast. I should've brought my camera." Klinklang kept going.
Druddigon used Flamethrower on Klinklang.
Klinklang dodged it and it hit Bruce instead.
Bruce just stared at Druddigon, before he got over the counter and started the beatdown on Druddigon with the Ice Hammer, causing Druddigon to cry out in pain.
"Stop! Plea- OW!" Druddigon cried out.
000000000000000
Druddigon: He had bandages on him again. "I will melt those gears if it's the last thing I do!... Ow…."
Bruce: Bruce was cleaning the blood that was on his precious hammer.
Klinklang: "Arceus, that looked like it hurt a lot. Maybe I went too far…...nah."
000000000000000
The Noivern was tending to Druddigon's wounds as Bruce just placed a no fighting sign on the wall.
"Ow! Careful… It all fucking stings." Druddigon said.
She did her best not to make it worse.
"Maybe you should've followed the rules." Klinklang commented. "It clearly says no fighting."
"Maybe you should stop insulting everyone you come across asshole!" Druddigon shouted.
"Now that's just rude. I don't insult everyone I come across. Only the ones that deserve it." Klinklang replied.
"That's just as bad!" Druddigon shouted.
Bruce brought out his Ice Hammer again.
Druddigon growled. "I'm going to the cabin." The Noivern helped him up to his cabin. "Thank you."
She smiled as she kept helping Druddigon to his cabin.
"Klinklang, was doing that really necessary?" Sandslash asked, after watching all that.
"Was it necessary? Probably not. But was it enjoyable? Very." Klinklang replied, with a couple agreeing.
Sandslash shook his head before going back to his food.
Zoroark and Beheeyem were outside the cabin. "Remember, I still have Heliolisk. So we can't be seen as a couple." Zoroark said, sadly.
Beheeyem nodded sadly, but understood.
Zoroark gives a small smile and kisses Beheeyem. "But that doesn't mean I don't love you to death."
Beheeyem smiled and gave him a quick kiss before anyone could see them.
They then went inside the cafeteria.
00000000000000
Beheeyem: She looks sad for a moment, but then picked herself up and looked at the camera with a smile.
00000000000000
Heliolisk saw Zoroark come and Zoroark smiles at him.
Heliolisk smiled back. "Good Morning love."
"Morning love." Zoroark replied as he sat down by Heliolisk and kissed him. "Sorry I wasn't there last night."
"It's okay, I took care of things though." Heliolisk said. "But I missed you a lot."
"I can take care of that before that challenge." Zoroark offered.
"Really?" Heliolisk asked him
"Sure, why not love?" Zoroark asked.
Heliolisk hugged Zoroark. "Thank you"
"Come on, let's go." Zoroark said.
Heliolisk gets up with Zoroark and they leave the cafeteria
000000000000
Heliolisk: He sighed happily. "I love that fox so much. I'm glad I get to be with him. It's great to know he cares so much about me too."
Zoroark: "Had to make sure that Heliolisk wouldn't worry about anything. It would be awful if he knew my true intentions now."
000000000000
Krookodile saw Mismagius come in and sit by him.
"Alright Missy, can we please-" Krookodile started.
"Don't call me Missy, Kroc." Mismagius interrupted
"... Mismagius, can we please talk about-" Krookodile started again.
Mismagius brought out his voodoo doll and used it to shut his mouth.
Krookodile brought his coin to flip it, it was Tails and he groaned.
Mismagius giggled at that. "Thanks coin. I owe you one."
Smeargle saw that and put that into her notebook.
0000000000000
Smeargle: "... and now he couldn't open his mouth after Mismagius used a voodoo doll on him… You know, I am starting to agree with Klinklang and Krookodile is just a normal player with a high luck stat…. Oh my gosh, did I just agree with Klinklang of all people? Excuse me, I need to dump myself in ice water."
Klinklang: "I just saw Smeargle dump herself in ice water, saying something about agreeing with me. I don't see the problem. I may not have people skills, but I'm not an idiot."
Krookodile: "The fates say that it isn't the right time yet. Which infuriates me because I really need Mismagius talk to me about last week. You can just tell something like that to a guy and expect them to just pretend it never happened." Krookodile sighs. "But if the fates say that it's not now, then I'll just wait until it is."
Mismagius: "For once, that coin told him to do what I wanted and shut up about it. Totally owe that coin one."
00000000000000
Later on, Druddigon decided to come back since he forgot to get his food, but he saw that Bruce just put down a no Druddigon allowed sign.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Druddigon shouted. "I need to eat like everyone else does! You can't just not let me eat here!"
"I've heard that the average body can go through months without food. That's just the right amount of time for this show to be over." Bruce simply said.
Druddigon's jaw dropped when he heard that. Soon he walked out of the cafeteria grumbling.
00000000000000
Druddigon: "This is fucking bullshit! Will Jaba even allow Bruce cutting me off from the cafeteria!?"
Bruce: "I told Jaba that Druddigon became allergic to my food. So I assured him that I would help Druddigon find something else. But really, I got sick of him fighting in my kitchen. Good luck finding your own food, Dragon."
00000000000000
Jaba and Hannibal eventually make it to the kitchen.
"Morning Everyone. It's time for your next challenge!" Jaba announced.
"Without Druddigon?" Smeargle asked.
Jaba looks and notices that he isn't there. "Where is Druddigon?"
"He had an allergic reaction to my food. So he's out somewhere else right now." Bruce lied.
No one dared to tell the truth… Bruce had a butcher's knife and a big Ice Hammer. They liked living.
"Alright then. I'm sure that someone can get him as we go the the challenge location." Jaba said.
Jaba then saw the Noibat on Scizor's shoulder.
"Someone explain to me why the Noibat from yesterday is on Scizor's shoulder." Jaba said.
Scizor shrugged. "It liked me and came to the cabin to me when I woke up this morning. I'm pretty sure it wants to just be with me."
"Yet you never wanted to give it back, for obvious reasons." Klinklang pointed out.
"I did give it back yesterday, thank you very much." Scizor pointed out. "Plus, at the mention of bringing it back to its pack it whines."
"Almost sounds like you when you lose your new favorite bat." Klinklang remarked.
Scizor wanted to hit Klinklang, but she had nothing good to hit him with and she didn't want to be kicked out like Druddigon so she just glared.
"Still, the bat needs to go." Hannibal said.
The Noibat whined and hugged Scizor.
"See my point?" Scizor asked
"So?" Hannibal asked.
Jaba sighed. "Hannibal the Noibat clearly likes being with Scizor, there has to be some compromise you can think of."
"Hey Jaba, want to have a pack of Noiverns do to you what they did to Druddigon?" Hannibal simply asked.
"... No!" Jaba said in a bit of a panic. "Scizor is there anyway you can get the Noibat back to that pack?"
The Noibat whines again.
"You know, it would help if we could hear what it was thinking or saying." Monferno pointed out.
"Sorry, but we don't have a translator. Budget cuts." Hannibal said. "Just get the bat out before we all die."
Scizor sighed and got up. "Come on little guy, got to get you home." She walk out of the building and to the cave.
"Alright, while she goes to the cave, the rest of us can go to the challenge area. Come now." Jaba said, as the two lead the others to the next challenge area.
00000000000000
Scizor: "Getting rid of the little guy isn't going to be easy… but I'd rather not die… or have Heracross die… or anyone else really."
Druddigon: "Banette found me in the cabin and had me follow her. We apparently have a challenge today so I was thankful she came to get me."
00000000000000
Jaba and Hannibal led them to what what appeared to be a giant asylum.
"What is this, the asylum Hannibal broke out of?" Druddigon asked.
"What was that? I think I heard a bat just screech right now." Hannibal replied.
"A bat, Noivern!? Where!?" Druddigon asked in fear, hiding behind Krookodile
Hannibal just started laughing, until Jaba slammed him down again.
Jaba composed himself. "No this is not the insane asylum Hannibal broke out of, this is the location of the challenge. Follow me inside please." Jaba started to walk into the Asylum.
000000000000000
Druddigon: "First Bruce, then Hannibal, what's next? Jaba doing something to me!?"
Smeargle: "Why do I feel like someone just jinxed something? Anyway I have to admit, that asylum looks like something out of an action game! I wonder what's inside."
Zoroark: Zoroark cackles. "Please, I have no fears. Good luck getting anything out of me."
0000000000000000
"Alright then, so today is the classic fear challenge." Jaba said. "One by one each of you will to face your fears. If you can't handle it, then you can press the button we will give you that will bring you back. If you can handle it, then you get a point for your team. Team with the most points wins."
"Sounds simple enough." Sandslash said.
"Sounds a little too easy to me. At least the last challenge had some challenge it." Dragalge said.
"Many the creators wanted a simple challenge." Croagunk muttered
"FOURTH WALL!" Someone shouted
"Maybe the guy shouting that is in this Asylum." Excadrill said, which caused most of the others to laugh in someway.
"So Jaba, what happens if you don't have a fear?" Zoroark asked.
Jaba was Dark type as no one noticed him changing types and had an evil grin. "Everyone has a fear Zoroark… Whether Major or Minor you have something you are scared of!"
This scared most of the contestants, but not Zoroark as he made a similar grin. "Try me."
"Then you can go first Zoroark." Jaba said
00000000000000
Excadrill: "Did… Did Jaba become evil!?"
Scizor: "I arrived just in time to see Jaba speak dearkly.. What did I just sign up for?"
Druddigon: "That fox is a dead man."
00000000000000
Jaba had Zoroark go into a black room while the others waited and watched in the lobby. Zoroark was just sitting on a chair.
Suddenly, an illusion was made. Zoroark noticed something and had his hand go in front of his face and moved it a little. Zoroark looked annoyed. "Shit, I'm blind."
Meanwhile from those in the lobby watching. They could only see, not hear.
"What's going to happen to him?" Heliolisk asked, worried.
"Suck it up, I'm sure Zoroark can handle it." Scizor said
Suddenly, there was a monstrous sound nearby. Zoroark looked around and saw nothing because he was blind. "Hello?! Who's there?!" Zoroark asked. The monstrous sound came out again, a little closer this time. Zoroark looked a little troubled.
Heliolisk looks pretty worried. "Zoroark!"
Beheeyem looked at the screen, a bit worried as well.
The monstrous sounds just kept coming and coming. Zoroark quickly calmed down and just let it happen. It kept happening until it eventually ended
"Is… he just standing there like nothing happened?" Sandslash asked.
"The hell?" Dragalge asked
Heliolisk smiled seeing Zoroark fine, Beheeyem also better as well.
Zoroark grinned and stood up. "It's over Jaba! I survived the what so called fear! I have won! I told you that I had no fear!"
Jaba grumbled, having an earpiece that heard Zoroark, and brought Zoroark back to the lobby. "Fine Zoroark, you won and earned a point for your team."
Zoroark regains his eyesight and happily walks to the alley. He meets everyone, proudly. "I have done it for my team. You're welcome."
His team cheered for the point.
"Zoroark, you can pick the player to go from the other team." Jaba said.
"Pick the player you say?" Zoroark asked brightly, as he looked at the opposite team with a sinister grin.
Excadrill and Sandslash looked at each other in fear.
00000000000000000
Sandslash: "We're fuck… very much fucked"
0000000000000000
"I would like... Sandslash to go!" Zoroark shouted.
000000000000000
Sandslash: "Saw that coming."
000000000000000
Sandslash sigh. "Here goes nothing." He kisses Excadrill and walks to another black room.
He sat in the room for literally 30 seconds before the walls was set ablaze and slowly getting closer to him.
"Holy.. Holy shit!" Sandslash yelled out as the fire was slowly getting closer to him. He was freaking out as the fire got close… He started having flashbacks to when Zoroark kept burning him.
Excadrill and Heracross were watching this and were both worried for Sandslash
The fire were just feet away from Sandslash and the chair he was on and his face showed extreme fear, he didn't want to get hit by the flames. He saw the button Jaba had mentioned to them and moved his arm to press it… but he was shaking and sent the button into the fire.
"Fucking shit." Sandslash said a few second before the flames got to the chair and quickly engulfed him as he screamed for help.
000000000000000
Sandslash woke up later in the lobby with everyone else, Heracross and Excadrill next to him.
"What.. What happened?" Sandslash asked.
"You almost went for the button, but you panicked and actually made it through the fear unintentionally." Heracross replied.
"...Yay?" Sandslash said.
Excadrill hugged Sandslash. "I'm just glad you're okay."
"Thanks." Sandslash said with a little smile
"Alright, who do you want to face their fear?" Jaba asked.
"Uh… I don't know… I guess Beheeyem." Sandslash said.
Beheeyem looked surprised at this.
"You heard him Beheeyem, your turn." Jaba said, a little darkly
Beheeyem made the sighing gesture and floated her way to the black room ready for her.
She sat down as nothing happened so far.
Just then, she was in a classroom that she recognized.
Beheeyem saw a Gothitelle as a teacher and she was terrified.
The Gothitelle slammed a ruler on her desk, scaring her to death. "No talking!" She shouted.
Beheeyem tried to protest, but the ruler was slammed by her again.
The rest were watching as it was going on.
"What the… what's going on with her?" Smeargle asked.
"... That's a church school." Heracross replied.
"I'm sorry what?" Heliolisk asked. "Why would she be in a church school?"
"She was probably sent there when she was young. For parental reason or whatever. But I've been there once…. It's fucking horrible." Heracross replied.
"That… Can't be a good sign." Monferno said.
Zoroark was just watching, for once not liking the sight of someone in distress.
At the end of Beheeyem's fear, she was in tears. But she made it through without pressing the button.
Jaba smiled. "And you passed Beheeyem. Another point for the Giratinas."
Zoroark was mad that Sandslash had Beheeyem go through all of that. So he snuck behind his chair and used Flamethrower to set it on fire without anyone noticing.
"OW!" Sandslash cried out as he jumped off his chair noticing the fire and ran in fear.
00000000000000
Sandslash: "Monferno wouldn't hurt me for no reason and Druddigon doesn't even care… So Zoroark just burned my chair! I bet he did it to get back at me for picking Beheeyem… wait why would he want to get back at me for having Beheeyem go?"
Zoroark: "Of all Pokemon to choose, he chose Beheeyem….fucking bastard."
Beheeyem: She looked like she was recovering from what she just faced.
00000000000000
"Alright Beheeyem, who will go next?" Jaba asked.
Beheeyem looked at Sandslash, then pointed at Excadrill.
"What me!?" Excadrill shouted.
Jaba grinned. "You heard her. Time to face your fear!"
Excadrill sighed and kissed Sandslash before walking to her black room.
She sat in her room for a bit before she was in her room. She looked around surprised at this.
"I'm… home?" She asked herself. She thought she heard noises and banging on her. She looked scared and got on her computer which showed a camera feed of what was in front of her door and she gasped… there were very scary and large Pokemon at her door, looking bloodthirsty. She started shaking.
Sandslash was watching with Heracross. "What… What's happening?" Sandslash asked Heracross.
"Her fear of going outside…. Which is easily explained by her shut-in personality." Heracross replied.
"It would." Sandslash agreed looked worried.
Excadrill was still shaking in fear as she saw her door was about to be busted down… she saw the button as well. Excadrill walked to it but stopped. She heard the door about ready to bust open and she looked straight at it. Moments later the door was opened and those scary Pokemon came in her room. She freaked out and pressed the button in fear, sending her back to the lobby with everyone.
"So close." Sandslash said.
"Sorry!" Excadrill said.
"No point for the Darkrias… and she doesn't get to pick who goes next." Jaba said.
"Then who picks?" Druddigon asked.
Jaba had a dark grin. "Hannibal."
Hannibal grinned and looked at the Giratinas. "I'd say Scizor goes next. We have a great fear for her."
Scizor gulped. "Here goes nothing… save me."
Scizor left for the black room as Sandslash looked at Heracross.
"What do you think her fear is?" Sandslash asked.
"Probably something related to Juvie." Heracross guessed.
Scizor was sitting her black room and was soon in an open Juvie cell. She promptly sighed.
"Saw this coming." Scizor muttered to herself. Soon there was someone at her cell… and it wasn't a guard. A bipedal lizard-like Pokémon. He has oval, wide-set eyes with small pupils and gray eyelids, as well as small nostrils and a wide mouth with bared teeth, giving him the appearance of a permanent sneer. He sports a red crest on his head, similar in appearance to a mohawk. Baggy yellow skin hangs off his shoulders, falling halfway down his back. His body is orange, with thin arms and a gray, scaled belly. His lower body and tail are covered by loose yellow skin resembling baggy trousers. On his tail is a single red scale. He was a Scrafty.
"Hey baby. Missed me?" Scrafty asked Scizor
"Scrafty? Why are you here, you're still locked up for murder!" Scizor shouted.
"Baby, Baby, don't ya get it? We're at your cell." Scrafty pointed out.
"...Shit!" Scizor shouted.
Scrafty gets closer to her. "It's okay babe.. I've missed ya a lot after you broke up with… now how about we reconnect.. Over this knife." He pulled out a gun,
"That's a gun you idiot!" Scizor shouted.
Scrafty shrugged. "Same difference." He shot the gun at Scizor hitted her body and sending her to the ground.
"Hey… stop already!" Scizor shouted, before she cried out in pain when he shot her legs.
"Baby I would stop… but I'm in here for a reason." Scrafty said, pulling out an actual knife this time. "Ya know what I did to murder that guy that lead me here… I shot him so many times…"
"...Then you killed him with a knife!" Scizor finished, knowing full well what he did.
"You win Baby.. and now your prize… Your death!" Scrafty said very darkly as he raised his knife.
Scizor looked scare out of her mind as she saw the button. Her survival instincts kicked in and she pressed the button, sending her to the lobby… mere moments before the knife would hit her.
"Jaba, would you mind telling me why Scizor had to be almost killed?" Heracross asked, in a surprisingly calm manner.
"Oh if the knife had hit her, she would have passed the fear no problem. Those gunshots weren't even full on real, so she'll be okay now." Jaba explained.
Scizor stood up and moved her body. "Yeah, I'm fine… And can do this!" She used X-Scissor on Jaba
"Ow fucking dammit!" Jaba yelled
"Real or Not that fucker almost killed me! You deserved that!" Scizor yelled, before sitting down.
00000000000000
Klinklang: "I have to admit, that was some messed up shit, even for my standards."
Scizor: "He was my ex in Juvie… I only dated him so he wouldn't kill me… I broke up with him literally 2 days before I was set free. If it wasn't for that, I may not even be here right now… I really didn't need to see him again."
Heracross: "... Arceus damn…. She really did have it rough."
000000000000
"Hannibal, who will go for the Darkrias?" Jaba asked
"That crocodile is next, no question about that." Hannibal asked.
"Hmph, too easy." Krookodile said, as he flipped his coin, but Hannibal took it at the last second. "You have to go through the whole challenge, WITHOUT the coin with you."
Most gasped to this, Krookodile without his coin?
"This could be it… the final test to see if he is a God-Tier Player or a Normal Player with Luck" Smeargle thought to herself.
Krookodile gave Hannibal a deadly serious look. "Well played wolf, well played."
Mismagius looked at Krookodile with concern
000000000000000
Mismagius: "That coin could have helped him greatly in this challenge… and he can't even use it… This can't end well."
Krookodile: His right arm trembled a bit. "This is going to be…. Difficult, to say the least."
Klinklang: "Oh boy, this I got to see."
00000000000000
"Well, since Krookodile doesn't need to go to the black room, Hannibal, choose one of the Giratinas to go." Jaba said
"Hmm….. Banette." Hannibal replied.
Banette grinned, as she got up and went to the black room, happily.
00000000000000
Druddigon: "Um… Does she even have a fear… and will that fear almost kill us like her performance a few weeks ago… It might be safer to not watch."
Banette: "La la la la la la la."
00000000000000
Banette just took the seat in the black room, with a grin on her face.
"Alright, to be honest, we don't know your fear Banette. So I'll look into your mind real quick and see." Jaba said, as he turned into a Psychic type.
A few moments later, Jaba screamed and fell to the floor, completely terrified.
"What the?! What's wrong Jaba?!" Hannibal asked.
"There are things…. That a man should never see." Jaba said shellshocked.
Everyone was scared as to what Jaba saw.
00000000000000
Smeargle: "Banette is a horror game confirmed!"
Druddigon: "Is it wrong that I saw that coming?"
Zoroark: "Considering the show we saw in the talent show…. I'm pretty sure we didn't need to know what her fear was."
0000000000000
"Um… So is that a point or no?" Monferno asked
Jaba just recovered from the hell he's just witnessed. "I… I'm going to not give her a point because she just gave me my nightmares for the next year! I will give her immunity to balance it since she didn't actually go face a fear."
"Yay!" Banette shouted as she went back to her seat, with a couple of Pokemon backing up a bit.
"Banette, I'll still let you pick the next one to go." Jaba said.
"Hmm…. Einie mienie gminy…. Moe!" Banette shouted, pointing at Croagunk.
Croagunk widen his eyes. "Why me?"
"Because why not?" Banette asked.
"She's not wrong." Druddigon said with a shrug.
Croagunk sighs and gets up to a black room and sits down.
"Croagunk is so reserved around everyone. Would anyone have any idea at his fear." Excadrill asked
"I guess we'll just have to find out." Klinklang replied.
Croagunk was just sitting there until he was suddenly in a dark forest. He looked around confused before he heard a roar. He looked behind him and saw and Pangoro… and he was holding Snorunt.
"Snorunt!" Croagunk shouted in fear as he ran to the Pangoro ready to use Brick Break.
The Pangoro fired a Dark Pulse at Croagunk sending him down to the ground. Soon a bunch of powerful Pancham came and held him down as the Pangoro held Snorunt who was shouting for help.
"Croagunk! Safe me!" Snorunt shouted in feel… but second later the Pangoro started to use Hammer Arm repeatedly to attack her… Blood coming out and her cries of pain echoing in the area. Croagunk only watching in horror and fear as he also say the button where he could press it… but he didn't. He was forced to watch as the Pangoro attacked Snorunt until he threw her down, dead. The Pangoro and the Pancham left the area as Croagunk ran to Snorunt's body… crying as he held her body… he was soon sent back to the lobby where Jaba let him leave the building to be by himself. Everyone watched as he left.
00000000000000000000
Klinklang: "What the….. What the fuck was that?
Heracross: "We… now we know what Croagunk's fear is.
Smeargle: "That was really heavy… I think that shows a bit to why Croagunk tends to be alone like the normal edgy character type."
Croagunk: "... It's watching someone I love die… with no chance of me to save them... That's my fear… And what I watched wasn't the first time"
000000000000000000
"Okay, since we let Croagunk leave, anyone of the Darkrais can pick the nex to go." Jaba said.
"Um… I guess Smeargle can go." Excadrill said.
"Heracross, are you fine with that?" Sandslash asked
Heracross shrugs. "I'm okay with that.
Smeargle was in her black room now just waiting around... It was oddly silent.
"Um... Is there going to be anything?" Smeargle asked.
Soon Smeargle was in what looked like a grassy video game world. She has a laser gun and a life bar.
"Now we're talking!" Smeargle shouted, shooting at some little enemies she sees
"... Jaba, how is this a fear for her? She's a gamer after all." Heracross pointed out.
"Keep watching" Jaba said.
Moments later a lot of enemies showed up.. And they were doing a lot of damage to Smeargle... And not her health bar.
"The hell? Why isn't the health bar going down?" Dragalge asked.
Smeargle was getting hit so much that she lost her gun, so a really big boss enemy showed up and attacked her... Smeargle looked terrified
"Smeargle do something! This is your type of thing!" Monferno shouted.
"You know she can't hear you.. Right?" Sandslash asked
"Way to break the immersion Sandslash." Klinklang joked.
There were actual chuckles to that one.
Smeargle wasn't chuckling as she was being beaten badly. She was trying hard to beat that boss but nothing. She felt defeated... She saw the button and seconds before the boss used a powerful attack on her she pressed it
"Noooooo! Now we'll never finish the final level!" Klinklang joked once more.
"Actually, she was on level 1 according to the display" Jaba pointed out. "It was just deadly."
"Damn, what is this, Dark Souls?" Klinklang asked.
"The sad thing is…. I am really really good at Dark Souls." Smeargle said.
Monferno and Dragalge went up to Smeargle
"It'll be alright Smeargle. Besides, there's always a retry." Dragalge assured.
Both Monferno and Smeargle started laughing after he said that
000000000000000
Monferno: "Wow did Dragalge just back a gaming joke? That is amazing! I never expected that from him."
Smeargle: "As dumb as my fear of a game killing me might be, Dragalge's joke made me feel so much better."
Dragalge: "What? I respect the gamer girl. To be honest, she grew on me."
000000000000000
"Okay, Hannibal who is the next Darkrai to go up?" Jaba asked.
"Hmm... Mismagius is next." Hannibal replied.
"Me? Okay then." Mismagius said.
Mismagius goes into the black room and sits down... nothing happens.
"Um… Is this normal?" Monferno asked
"Jabs! I think your black room is broken!" Mismagius shouted.
"Hannibal, what's going on?" Jaba asked
"I... don't know. It was working just fine with Smeargle." Hannibal replied.
Jaba said and talked into his earpiece. "Come back in Mismagius."
Mismagius came back in. "So... do I win a point?"
"I'm… not sure. How about we try to again a little later to see what happens. Fair?" Jaba asked.
"Okay." Mismagius replied.
00000000000000000
Jaba: "I have idea what happened… I just know it did. It should work fine though."
Krookodile: Krookodile shook his head. "That clever witch."
Mismagius: She whistles innocently
000000000000000000
Mismagius noticed Krookodile's right arm twitching.
"Is your arm okay Krookodile?" Mismagius asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to adjust without the coin." Krookodile replied.
"Okay then." Mismagius said.
"So... what now" Hannibal asked.
"Um… Well I let Banette pick so Mismagius… pick." Jaba said.
"Dragalge." Mismagius said simply
"The fuck?! You didn't even do yours! That's bullshit!" Dragalge complain.
"Neither did Banette." Sandslash pointed out.
"... Fuck. You." Dragalge simply said.
"Chop Chop Dragalge! Fears awaits!" Jaba shouted
0000000000000
Monferno: "I wonder what Dragale's fear is… It's kinda scaring me thinking what it can be."
Dragalge: "... I know what my fear is... I'm not going to like it."
0000000000000
Dragalge was soon sent to the Black room and sat down.
Soon, Dragalge was seeing his worst nightmare. It was his kingdom, as it was crumbling down before him. The castle in ruins, the people in agony, everything was in flames.
Monferno was watching this from the screen.. Horror painted on her face.
Some of the others saw this happening, this was intense.
Dragalge saw all of this happening, as they were watching his kingdom fall without him to protect it. He looked down and held his hands to his head. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed.
"Holy crap.. This is torture for him!" Scizor said
It was minutes before the torture was over. Dragalge was a mess.
Monferno was holding and comforting him. "It's okay Dragalge… it wasn't real. Everything was fine."
Dragalge got up and gave a death glare at Sandslash.
"Hey I didn't even pick you!" Sandslash said.
"Either way, Dragalge you have passed… and might need therapy if you keep torturing yourself on this show." Jaba said. "Seriously dude, take a break. Anyway, who would you like to go next?"
"Well, before I choose someone," Dragalge calmly started. "I would like to.-" He fired a Focus Blast at Sandslash and sent him to the wall hard.
"Ow…" Sandslash said before fainting… The Flamethrower from earlier did enough damage him.. The Focus Blast was just enough to knock him out.
"HERACROSS GOES NEXT!" Dragalge roared.
000000000000000
Sandslash: He has some bandages on. "I can't win at all today."
Monferno: "I have no idea why Dragalge was so mad at Sandslash for that… Does no one else get that we all have to do this at some point or another?"
Zoroark: Zoroark was laughing hysterically. He fell off the seat by how funny seeing Sandslash take that Focus Blast was.
Heracross: "... what the fuck Sandslash?"
000000000000000
"You heard the King. And the King's orders are absolute!" Jaba shouted
Heracross grumbled and went to the black room and sat down.
Suddenly, the room looked like a living room. Heracross looked around and sighed. "Shit."
Scizor and sort of Excadrill, who was trying to get Sandslash to wake up, watched this. Scizor was a bit confused by it.
"Why a living room?" Scizor asked herself.
Heracross looked around the room, and saw the very thing he feared the most. He saw a younger version of himself, as he was crying over the death of his parents.
Everyone gasped at seeing that scene, Scizor holding tears back a bit… Heracross had told her that his parents were killed… But he refused to give details.
00000000000000
Druddigon: "That dude has seen shit.. Shit no one should see at that age!"
Scizor: She was now crying privately. "I.. I can't believe he had to go through that.. I just thought they were killed while he was away from them!"
000000000000000
Jabs went to turn the illusion off... but something was wrong. It didn't stop. Heracross was still seeing his younger self cry. Saying how he can't live without them and not to go.
"Um… That's not good. Hannibal, what's happening? The illusion is still going!" Jaba said very worried.
"I don't know! Something busted!" Hannibal shouted. Heracross was still watching it happen, as he was motionless and showed nothing. He was breaking at the sight of his parents died before him.
Scizor was horrified seeing it lasting this long. "Why isn't he pressing his button!? He can stop this himself!"
Heracross fell to his knees, still seeing the sight. His body was shaking horribly.
"JABA DO SOMETHING!" Both Scizor and Excadrill shouted.
Jabs and Hannibal were trying to stop it, but it didn't. Heracross was breaking inside, he isn't going to be able to take it much longer.
"Isn't there anything you guys can do!?" Druddigon asked. "He's breaking worse than Dragalge!"
"Croagunk had to watch someone he's known for little over a month die… but Heracross has to relive the day he lost his parents." Mismagius said.
"This is too much for him!" Smeargle shouted.
Heracross had tears in his eyes. His eyes was twitching.
"Jaba get him out of there!" Scizor cried out.
"We're trying dammit!" Jaba shouted
It was still going, as Heracross just watched it happen, remembering all the good times he had with his parents, and then lose it all in a single day.
No one was in anything near a good mood anymore as they all wanted this to end for Heracross' sake. Jaba and Hannibal were trying their best to stop the illusion.
After what seemed like forever, the illusion finally stopped. Heracross was just sitting there... Broken.
Excadrill and a finally awake Sandslash carries Heracross out of the room and takes him to the infirmary .Everyone very worried about Heracross.
"We… We're going to have an hour break… I think after that you all deserve it." Jaba said.
As Sandslash was carrying Heracross out, he saw Zoroarks eyes change from red to normal. He then grinned.
000000000000000000
Sandslash: "I saw his eyes change… Zoroark is the illusion Pokemon… He forced that illusion to last longer on Heracross to break him! What the Actual fuck!"
Scizor: She was crying in the confessional still, having a hard time gaining composure
Zoroark: Zoroark was just whistling, innocently.
000000000000000000000
Heracross was just lying on his bed in the infirmary. He hasn't said one word or looked at anything since the incident.
Scizor had walked in. "How is he?" She asked an Audino who was there with Sandslash and Excadrill.
"He seems to be in a catatonic state right now." The Audino replied. "He seems to be reliving whatever he saw over and over again, not aware of his surroundings."
"The death of his parents… That would do it." Excadrill said.
"Is there any way for us to help him?" Sandslash asked
"You could try talking to him. But I don't know for sure. I hope the rest of your daughter well." The Audino said, as she left them to themselves.
"Heracross… wake up! We're here for you." Sandslash said.
"Please Heracross." Excadrill said.
Scizor got right next to Heracross on his bed. "Heracross, it's me Scizor… please wake up for us… We need you Heracross." She kissed him.
….. Heracross slowly looked at Scizor. "...H…..Hey."
Scizor hugged him, softly. "Heracross!"
Heracross slowly had an arm pat her back.
"Heracross, everyone was so worried." Excadrill said. "Jaba and Hannibal couldn't figure out how to stop the illusion."
"... I think I know what happened." Sandslash said. "But I need Heracross fully recovered before saying it."
The girls nodded to that as Scizor held Heracross.
"I'm here for you beetle boy." Scizor said.
"Good to know….. Hottie." Heracross slowly replied.
"Rest for now… you need it." Scizor told him.
"Sleep is…. For the weak." Heracross said, before he went into a deep sleep.
Scizor lets him go. "You two can go… I'm going to stay here and watch in just in case."
Sandslash and Excadrill nod and leave. Scizor then gets and chair and sits next to Heracross' bed.
00000000000000
Scizor: "I'm just glad that I snapped him out of it… he really worried me."
Sandslash: "I still can't believe that Zoroark did that… He was likely still getting payback on me for sending Beheeyem in… Jerk."
00000000000000
Sandslash and Excadrill return to the asylum. He sees Zoroark just chilling, like nothing's happened.
Sandslash gets Excadrill seated on the other side of the lobby.
"Are you okay?" Excadrill asked
"No." Sandslash simply replied. Excadrill understood right way.
"Sandslash… it'll be okay." Excadrill she tried assuring him.
"Okay? Okay!?" Sandslash asked her. "All day that fox has been messing with me! He sent you into the challenge after I sent Beheeyem and then he purposely messes with the illusion on Heracross, forcing him to watch his dead parents for longer than Jaba would have ever wanted him to! He's been out to get me ever since I chose you over Heliolisk and I fucking hate it! I've had enough!"
"Are you okay Sandslash? You seem, troubled." Zoroark asked, as Sandslash slowly turned to him.
"Troubled… Troubled… I'm troubled because of you, you psychopathic asshole! You burned me fucking alive in the Capture the Flag challenge! You buried Heliolisk in snow and almost gave him Hypothermia! You fucked with our Whack a Mole game on purpose! You and Heliolisk started the rumor about Liepard! I'm sure of it! You sent my girlfriend into the challenge after I sent your friend! And you purposely forced Heracross into that illuon that Jaba would have ever had allowed! I bet you even got rid of Heracross's button so he would have to watch! You are a horrible evil person Zoroark and you deserve to burn in hell!" Sandslash finally snapped at Zoroark.
Everyone was shocked at what Sandslash suddenly said. Not even Jaba or Hannibal saw this coming.
Zoroark just looked appalled at Sandslash, as he was crying horribly. "What…..what did I do, to deserve this?! I didn't do anything! First I almost get killed by Cacturne, for doing nothing! And now I'm being accused for horrible things that I would never do! I'm just playing the game with my team! Is that so wrong?! What did I do to deserve this?! Do you want me to kill myself that badly?! I apparently don't deserve anything good in my life! Just remind me more of how much of a failure I am at life!" Zoroark just kept on crying horribly.
"Stop with the fake tears Zoroark! You know that you did all of that!" Sandslash shouted.
Zoroark fell off his chair, as he was just crying till no end, curling up in a ball as he just wants it all to end.
Heliolisk went to Zoroark, holding him and glaring daggers at Sandslash. "Why would you accuse him for all of those things!? He did nothing wrong, unlike you who broke my heart!"
"Heliolisk, I said I was sorry for that!" Sandslash shouted.
"Well apparently not! If you're going out of your way to mess with my boyfriend so that I'll just end up lonely and heartbroken more!" Heliolisk shouted back
Cacturne and Klinklang gave each other looks of understanding, but the others weren't so understanding at all.
"Why would you say those terrible things about Zoroark Sandslash!" Smeargle shouted. "He's been nothing but perfect all season!"
"Yeah, Zoroark wouldn't do that to anyone!" Monferno agreed.
Beheeyem glared at Sandslash, not looking glad about what he claimed.
"Look, I know that your friend suffered badly and all, but just fuck off." Druddigon simply said.
Sandslash looked at all of them and glared. "Fine! But just remembered what Xatu warned you all!"
"How the hell would you know that? Xatu only told his team that, no one else. Maybe you're the one playing us." Dragalge brought out.
Sandslash looked straight at Dragalge. "Information can easily get around. And I don't play games. Not like anyone of you will believe me."
"You're right, we don't. For all we know, this is the perfect way to do so. Pinning the blame on someone else, that's a very love move to make. And someone who would play us would do just that, Sandslash." Dragalge countered.
"If that's what you want to think then fine! Fuck all of you!" Sandslash shouted before storming out of the asylum, with Excadrill following him.
Zoroark saw Sandslash leave and covered his mouth to hide his dark grin.
0000000000000
Sandslash: "Don't all of them fucking get that they are all being played by Zoroark! He is acting nice to everyone to gain their trust sothat he can do whatever the hell he wants without anyone noticing! Is his entire team that blind!?"
Zoroark: Zoroark laughed, maniacally. "I broke Heracross AND got Sandslash to snap! Now everyone will hate him and think that he's the one playing them! He won't last long now! He either gives up before the merge, or have everyone fucking demolish him after! He has to face the music now, I beated him without ever him seeing it coming! This is the best day in my live on this island!" He laughed a lot more after that.
00000000000000
After the… episode. The hour soon passed and Jaba was ready to have another victim go to the black room.
"Okay… Heracross technically passed his fear. I will be giving in two nights of immunity due to what happened as he wasn't not supposed to stay in there for as long as he did… Um… Krookodile, your fear is going all challenge so you can have his pick now." Jaba said
Krookodile's right arm was shaking really badly. "I'll have….. Monferno go in, I guess."
"Dude is your arm okay?" Druddigon asked.
"Yeah… I'm fine….. Just give me time is all." Krookodile assured, as Mismagius saw his left eye twitch a bit.
"Your left eye is twitching too." Mismagius pointed out.
"Is it? I haven't really noticed." Krookodile said.
"That is concerning on so many levels." Heliolisk said.
"Monferno, time to fear." Jaba said.
Monferno went to the black room and was soon sitting on a raft on the beach.
"... You have got to be fucking kidding me. Why does every Fire type have to be afraid of Water? It's like a fucking stereotype." Klinklang remarked.
"I know a Arcanine who loves the water.. His only fear is Bears." Druddigon said.
"Really? Because I've seen a Houndoom, another Arcanine, a Ninetails, a Vulpix, a Chandelure, a Litten, and a Pyroar, all afraid of water. Last time I checked, 7 is more than 1." Klinklang countered.
"... I hate you." Druddigon said.
"Put that in the complaint box. It looks exactly like a Trash can." Klinklang said.
"Hey guys… what's going on with Monferno?" Heliolisk asked.
Monferno was screaming in fear from a gang of Sharpedoes around her. "Get away!"
One Sharpedo jumped and almost bit her, but she dodged just in time.
Another Sharpedo was chewing off the raft.
Monferno quickly saw her button and was about to press it… before tossing it in the water and closing her eye.
"Um… She may be my friend… but death wish much?" Smeargle asked.
"Remember, this is just a challenge after all. She's closing her eyes so she can wait out the fear." Dragalge said.
Monferno soon opened her eyes and as the Sharpedos went to attack her so used Mach Punch on them, hitting each one until they all were down for the count.
Everyone was surprised by this.
Dragalge grinned. "That's my girl."
Soon Monferno was brought back to everyone.
"Congrats con fighting your fear Monferno." Jaba said with a smile. "Do you feel better about sharks now?"
"What?! hell no!" Monferno shouted. "I just wasn't going down like that. I was at least going to put up a fight."
"Alright, choose the next victim." Hannibal said.
"Hm…. Cacturne hasn't said a word since we got here, so I guess he can go up." Monferno said.
"Sorry, but I would like ta decline participatin' in dis challenge." Cacturne suddenly spoke up.
Everyone gasped.
"Why!?" Mismagius asked.
"Literally two of us have had to see dead bodies for our fears today, I think it's fair for you to go." Druddigon reasoned.
"I'm a leader of an organization. If anyone knew of my fear, da rival organizations would use dat as deir advantage and would kill me like dat. Unless ya want me ta be dead on da streets after da show." Cacturne explained.
"... I can't really argue with that. I can't give you immunity though." Jaba said.
"Dat is fair. My life is worth more den a single challenge on a show." Cacturne admitted.
"Tell that to my team yesterday." Druddigon muttered.
"Well, so that the system works out, Heliolisk or Klinklang, one of you must go next." Jaba said.
"NOT IT!" Klinklang suddenly shouted.
"...Fuck." Heliolisk said, getting up.
"Well that works. You know what to do." Jaba said.
0000000000000000
Cacturne: "I was only halfly tellin' da truth. While it's true dat I wouldn't want my secret ta get out out get me killed,... I also didn't want ta face my fear. Mine… is far worse den death."
Heliolisk: "How was I supposed to know we were deciding that with not it? Someone's always picked." Heliolisk sighed. "I have a good idea what this will be and I'm not going to like it if I'm right."
Klinklang: "Heh heh, I always wanted to say that."
000000000000000
Heliolisk was sitting in black room and soon was in a larger started to walk around it… there was no one inside at all. He soon walked into a room that shut on it's own. Moments later he saw the room with him were everyone in the cast. He smiled and walked close to them. But one by one they disappeared in smoke and the room got darker.
"What happened? Did they all die?" Banette asked.
"No… Because we are still here." Druddigon said. "And I don't think you die by turning into smoke."
"You'd be surprised." Banette muttered.
Heliolisk was watching as everyone was disappear… leaving him there locked in that room. Soon it was only Heliolisk, Zoroark, and Sandslash. Heliolisk run up to hugged Zoroark… but as he did he turned into smoke… Heliolisk started crying a little.
Zoroark looked saddened by this, too be honest, this was actually him being genuinely sad for someone.
Heliolisk was crying as Sandslash walked to him. Heliolisk looked at him and smiled at bit… only for Sandslash to have an evil grin and disappeared… Heliolisk was crying alone… He had no one in that room with him. He didn't even bother finding the button… He was just crying at the fact that he had no one to be there for him… to keep him from being lonely. Soon he was back in the lobby, Zoroark soon comforting him.
"You passed Heliolisk… Druddigon, you are the last for your team. Ready?" Jaba asked.
Druddigon gulped.
000000000000000
Heliolisk: "... My fear is being alone… it's something I fight with all the time. That's part of why Sandslash breaking my heart hurt me so much… I felt like I was stuck alone… but now I have Zoroark, so I don't feel lonely anymore."
Zoroark: "... Damn, I didn't know it was that serious….. I had something similar happen to me once….. I was never the same since. Maybe I shouldn't just dump his ass. If he gets eliminated, I'll keep the facade until he sees the truth. It's the least he deserves."
0000000000000
Druddigon was shoved in the room, really not wanting to go in. When he picked up his face from the ground he saw that he was in the same cave as the day before… and heard loudly roaring. He was soon surrounded by a pack of Noivern.
"Oh fuck!" Druddigon shouted right before they attacked him. Druddigon wasted no time and felt around for the button, finding it and pressing it without a second thought before the damage was too much on him. He was back in the lobby.
"... You lasted less than a minute in there." Jaba said.
"Did you see what they did to me yesterday!?" Druddigon shouted. "I had every right to back out so damn fast!"
"Fair." Jaba said. "Klinklang, you're up!"
"...Fuck." Klinklang said, as he got up and went to the black room.
The room was black, but then it looked like he was in a school hallway. "Oh for fuck's sake." Klinklang said.
"A high school… why is his fear school?" Smeargle asked.
"In all fairness.. A lot of people hate school." Monferno pointed out.
"True." Smeargle agreed
"Hey nerd!" Someone shouted.
Klinklang turned around and saw a Conkeldurr and a Machamp.
"Of for fuck's sake." Klinklang simply said.
After that, everyone saw Klinklang getting the beatdown of a lifetime. Klinklang was screaming in pain as everyone saw this.
"Holy shit!" Druddigon yelled.
"Damn, that's just as bad as Druddigon getting mauled by those Noiverns." Zoroark admitted.
"And they allow this at a school!?" Heliolisk asked.
Everyone heard more cursing and shouts of pain. As they saw lockers get destroyed and everything was used as a weapon. It must've been after school. After a very long beatdown, Klinklang slowly came back to the lobby.
"You passed Klinklang." Jaba said. "But how did you last so long without using the button?"
Klinklang slowly turned to Jaba and his body was shaking out of pure rage. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! I HAVE NO ARCEUS DAMN HANDS! I WAS FUCKED, THE MOMENT I WENT INTO THAT FORSAKEN HELL! HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK DID YOU NOT ACCOUNT FOR THAT?! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THE WORST HOST, I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! NO HOST CAN BE THIS RETARDED, THIS CARELESS, AND THIS BLIND! HELL, I WOULD'VE RATHER HAD VICTINI HOST THE SHOW, THAN YOUR BITCHASS!"
Jaba looked at Klinklang the whole time he spoke. It looked like he was about to say something before he went back to his normal type and walked out of the Asylum, with his head down. A few noticed tears in his eyes.
Klinklang just sat in his seat, too pissed off to say anything else.
There was an awkward silence in the room until Hannibal cleared his throat.
"Alright, since it's 5-4, we'll just end the challenge there. The Deadly Darkrais win." Hannibal said, surprisingly really quiet.
Three of the Five Darkrai members who were in the room looked at Klinklang. Klinklang only did his best to shrug. Krookodile looked ansy.
"Here, take it. You don't need to torture yourself anymore." Hannibal said, as he threw the coin to Krookodile
Krookodile grinned and flipped it, feeling way better that it's back in his possession.
"Giratinas…. Get ready for tonight's elimination ceremony. And make sure to choose your votes wisely." Hannibal simply said, as he left the two teams to themselves.
00000000000000
Jaba: He was crying a little in the confessional, hurt by Klinklang's words.
Hannibal: "... I never seen Jaba like that before…. Klinklang knew the right words to hit him with."
Klinklang: "Most of the other contestants were giving me this dirty look. I have no idea why though."
Mismagius: "Phew, thank Arceus I didn't have to go again. That would've killed me even from the afterlife."
Heliolisk: "I think I can safely speak for most of us when I say that we like Jaba and his personality. He's a nice host who actually cares… so seeing him walk off sadly because of Klinklang hurt."
Zoroark: "Dammit! I wish I brought my camera with me! That moment was just perfect!"
00000000000000
Heracross was still lying in bed in the infirmary.
Scizor was still with him as well as he was napping a bit before waking up to see Heracross still asleep. Scizor sighed as Sandslash and Excadrill walked in.
"How is he?" Sandslash asked.
"Still asleep but doesn't look like nightmares so I'm taking it." Scizor replied. "How did the challenge go?"
"I wouldn't know, we left before the break ended." Sandslash said.
"What, why?" Scizor asked in confusion.
"You… You wouldn't believe us." Excadrill said.
"Try me." Scizor said.
Sandslash sighed. "When we got back, I was bugged out because I saw Zoroark change his eye color and grin at me, basically telling me he kept Heracross in that illusion to break him. Then Zoroark asked how I was and I snapped at him for all things I've know he did and when I'm sure he did as well and he just cried like he did when Cacturne attacked him. Heliolisk and Zoroark's teammates then told me off and I brought up to all of the what Xatu told you guys. Then Dragalge accused me of being the one playing everyone and I just stormed out having enough with everyone."
"... Damn." Scizor simply said.
"It.. was not pretty." Excadrill said.
"Is it wrong that I wished Heracross heard all that?" Sandslash asked looking at Heracross.
"No. But why did you accuse Zoroark for everything?" Scizor asked.
"Because I know he almost burned me alive during capture the flag with no remorse. Heliolisk told me that Zoroark just gladly left him left buried in snow to die. Excadrill ended up very dizzy during our Whack a Mole game, and she saw the same thing happen to Cacturne during his fight with Zoroark. I was paralyzed during the mole game and Zoroark was already with Heliolisk by that point so he likely had him do it. Heliolisk and Zoroark could have likely came up with that rumor to get Liepard out after Cacturne beat Zoroark. Plus he is alway so nice to everyone… but you find it weird that something like how he is showing us is an expert with a gun while blindfolded and just accused Druddigon of being crazy during the battle challenge?" Sandslash explain.
"... How much time have you spent with Heracross?" Scizor asked.
"Way too much, now about what I just said." Sandslash said.
"Hm… I'll admit… that's actually a lot against the guy, I'll even admit that I forgot about what Xatu said until you reminded me." Scizor said.
"Maybe we should wait for Heracross to wake up before we discuss this further… He would be good at putting all these dots together." Excadrill suggested.
Scizor and Sandslash both nodded and looked at Heracross… hoping him would wake up soon.
But what they didn't realize, was that Zoroark was at the door war of the infirmary, hearing every word that Sandslash said.
00000000000000000
Sandslash: "I'm glad that Scizor at least considered what I had to say. The rest of her team just wanted me died but she listened. I'm sure Zoroark is playing them so well that anyone who was there to watch him cry would believe that damn fox."
Scizor: "Hm… I'll admit, Sandslash raised some good points. I have no idea why no one else thought to think about it for a bit. I'm going to wait on Heracross on this one, I want to see what he thinks. He is a detective after all."
Zoroark: "Hmm… Sandslash told Scizor about my true intentions. I'll see if this plays out by himself or not. Hopefully, it does. I really don't want anyone in my team being suspicious of me this early."

Druddigon was walking around the forest… he wasn't allowed in the cafeteria so he was pretty hungry.
Suddenly, the same Noivern flew in front of Druddigon.
Druddigon jumped back scared, before realizing which Noivern it was. "O-oh hey."
She smiled as she gave Druddigon a lot of Sitrus berries.
"Thank you!" Druddigon shouted as he happily ate the berries.
She giggled, seeing how happy Druddigon was of seeing food.
He looked up at her. "Sorry, but I got kicked out of the cafeteria so I have no chance to eat with everyone else. I got really hungry."
She understood as she wiped the extra juice on Druddigon's lips with her claw.
"Th-Thank you." Druddigon said, a bit freaked out by her touching him, considering that he had to go through from his fear.
She smiled, as she pulled Druddigon in for a hug and crooned.
"Hey wait! I'm not prepared for this!" Druddigon shouted.
*She was still crooning, as she hugged Druddigon comfortably.
Druddigon calmed down little and just let the hug happen.
00000000000000
Druddigon: "I'm honestly just glad that she doesn't want to eat me… but dealing with those Noivern in that illusion for that short time I did, didn't really help my fear.. At all. But.. At least she's nice to me, right?"
0000000000000
Dragalge was at the beach, looking at the ocean go by in thought. "Hmm, who do we eliminate? Me, Monferno, Zoroark, and Beheeyem all made it through our fears, so at least we're safe. Banette has immunity for….. Whatever Jaba saw in her head. So that leaves Druddigon, Scizor, or Smeargle. I still need Druddigon with me, so that leaves the gamer girl, or Juvie girl…. I know what I must do."
Dragalge then left to find Druddigon, planning to tell him who to eliminate.
00000000000000
Dragalge: "It makes sense to choose her. So let's see what happens next."
00000000000000
The Garintinas where at the campfire pit that night… Only Hannibal was there as well. No Jaba.
"Um… Where is Jaba?" Monferno asked.
"Still in his cabin after Klinklang's roast." Hannibal replied. "So it'll just be me to send one of you losers off the island."
"Oh Joy." Druddigon muttered.
"Alright, since I have better things to do, I'll make this quick. Dragalge, Monferno, Beheeyem, and Zoroark are safe." Hannibal said.
Beheeyem decided to use Psychic to get all their berries to keep things quick for Hannibal.
"Thank you Beheeyem. Now, since Banette mind fucked Jaba, she's safe as well." Hannibal said.
Beheeyem gave Banette her berry as well.
"Druddigon's safe also." Hannibal said, as Beheeyem gave Druddigon his berry.
It was now Scizor and Smeargle left.
"Scizor, you almost finished your fear, but you were too much of a chicken to do so." Hannibal said.
"My survival instincts kicked in!" Scizor protested
"Whatever. Smeargle, you sucked at your fear as well." Hannibal said.
"Sorry that I feared for my life." Smeargle said.
"Anyways, one of you cowards are going home tonight. But which one will it be?" Hannibal asked.
Scizor and Smeargle looked at each other, worried.
"Since Jaba isn't here for the suspense, I'll just straight out say it. Scizor's safe." Hannibal said, giving Scizor her berry himself.
"Sweet… Sorry Smeargle." Scizor said.
"But.. Why me?" Smearlge asked her team.
"While Druddigon sucked his really badly, he's still valuable to the team. And Scizor could help us too, since she was from Juvie and all." Dragalge replied.
"Thank you for typecasting me… even if it is true." Scizor said.
"Trust me, it was really hard to make this decision. Nothing personal, but I did it for my team…. I'm sorry." Dragalge said.
Smeargle smiled at Dragalge. "It's okay. You were just trying to help the team and I understand that. It might be Game Over for me now, but I'm sure I'll hit a New Game. Best of luck everyone." Smeargle then walks off to the dock.
00000000000000
Smeargle: "I'm not upset that I was voted out at all. There was a good reason for it and I was just the party member that had to go for it. I understand that. I made some good friends and had a really fun time here. So no hard feelings… oh and as for Krookodile… I think he's just a normal player with a an item that raises his luck by a lot. I can respect that. Well I guess that's I'll I need to say, I hope Monferno and Dragalge can win this, Bye Everyone!"
0000000000000
Meanwhile at the Loser Resort.
"Heretic!" Marill shouted at a screen after seeing Smeargle's confessional.
"Umm maybe she's right." Emolga admitted. "Maybe Krookodile isn't a-"
"Lies all lie!" Marill shouted before Staravia knocked her out.
"She is so annoying!" Staravia said flying off from the others.
000000000000
Monferno: She sighed. "I knew she was going but I didn't have the heart to vote her out… She's my friend after all. Dragalge understood given the decision that was made… we're going to miss Smeargle."
0000000000000
Klinklang saw Heliolisk alone and found the perfect time. "Hey Heliolisk, got a minute to talk?" Klinklang asked.
"Um, Sure." Heliolisk replied.
00000000000000
"And that is why I got so upset, reminding myself of all the shit times at school sucked." Klinklang finished.
"Wow… I would've never thought you dealt with that." Heliolisk said.
"Yeah, it was pretty messed up. A lot of things can go down pretty badly." Klinklang said.
"Yeah.. I know that." Heliolisk said.
"Really? Like how?" Klinklang asked.
"Well I mean… Liepard was taken down by a nasty rumor and all." Heliolisk replied.
"So… you're saying you started the rumor?" Klinklang asked.
"What no! Of course not!" Heliolisk said quickly.
"You just said that you know what I meant by things messing up and going down badly, and you just randomly brought up the Liepard rumor. Connect the dots, and you have yourselves a winner." Klinklang said.
"That was just the first example I thought of." Heliolisk said.
"The way you said it, it was like you were guilty of doing it." Klinklang pointed out.
Heliolisk looked at Klinklang. "But.. why would I do that? Do I look like the type to spread nasty rumors?"
"No, you don't. That's why you sound so guilty of doing it." Klinklang replied.
"You don't even know a thing about me Klinklang!" Heliolisk shouted. "Why are you accusing me for something I didn't do like Sandslash did to Zoroark earlier!?"
"What Sandslash did was snap. No planning, no sneaking around, just up and let his rage out. What happened to Liepard took planning, targeting the right Pokemon to start the rumor. Like Snorunt." Klinklang said.
"What? What do you mean Snorunt?" Heliolisk asked.
"Snorunt said that you started the rumor. And to be honest, Snorunt is not an idiot." Klinklang admitted.
"When would have Snorunt tell you that?" Heliolisk said.
"She didn't... she told that to Heracross." Klinklang revealed.
"No she didn't." Heliolisk said. "She said that I told her the rumor, not that I started it."
"Heracross said that Snorunt was the first person to hear the rumor though And she said she heard it from you. Meaning that you started the rumor." Klinklang deducted.
"But… But I didn't start that rumor!" Heliolisk protested. "And I didn't get Snorunt to fight you yesterday to save me!"
"... Alright Heliolisk, I believe you." Klinklang said.
"You… You do?" Heliolisk asked
"Yes, I do. Sorry for not believing you." Klinklang apologized.
"It's okay. I guess you've just been serious about all of this." Heliolisk said
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow Heliolisk." Klinklang said, as he left Heliolisk to himself.
000000000000000000
Heliolisk: "Way too close. I'm just glad he believed me. I think I'll be safe for now. Now I can relax and know that I'll be safe… hell Sandslash will be gone see by the looks of it too. I feel better now."
Klinklang: "Heliolisk so started the rumor."
000000000000000000
Druddigon was laying in the cabin after the elimination. He was alone
"Hello my scaly friend!" Banette shouted, as she sat by Druddigon.
"I'd ask why you just walked into my cabin… but I honestly don't care." Druddigon said. "What's up?"
"You seemed very troubled about the last challenge, so I figured a little gift from the safe place could help you." Banette replies.
"Really? Thank you." Druddigon said.
Banette gives Druddigon an old key.
"A key… when did you get this and what does it go to?" Druddigon asked.
"I got it from the props for the talent show challenge. And I have no idea on where it goes to. Think of it as a key to your happiness." Banette replied
"Well, thank you Banette." Druddigon said with a smile.
Banette smiled back. "Anytime, my scaly friend."
00000000000000000
Druddigon: He was looking at the key while sitting with his back to the wall. "I wonder why this was with the props.. And if it goes to anything."
0000000000000000
Krookodile was at the front door of the shack. He sighed as he looked at his coin. "Please fates, I need this."
He flipped the coin, and it was Heads. Krookodile grinned as he stepped inside.
Mismagius sees Krookodile as he steps inside.
"What are you doing here Krookodile? Mismagius asked. "It's getting late you know."
"I know, but I won't sleep until we talk about what you said. And this time," Krookodile said, as he revealed to Mismagius the head side of the coin. "I know I'll get some answers this time."
Mismagius just looked at him before going for his voodoo doll again.
Krookodile through the coin to the doll and it fell into the cauldron.
Mismagius gasped. "I spent so much time on that one! I wanted to get all of your features just right!"
"Well, I would say that I'm touched, but now you can't control my actions anymore. My coin, and the fates beat your witchcraft and your voodoo dolls." Krookodile said, grinning.
Mismagius pouts a little and rolls her eyes. "Fine, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know what you meant by the Krookodile that I turned to like?" Krookodile asked.
"I only meant that I like you more when you are just being you and not what the stupid coin tells you to." Mismagius said.
"So… how much do you like me?" Krookodile asked, awkwardly.
Mismagius blushed. "I…. I may or may not like you, more than a friend."
Krookodile widened his eyes. "Oh…. you do?"
"Yeah… I do." Mismagius admitted.
It was now Krookodile's turn to blush. He looked at his non-existent watch. "Well, would you look at the time! Gotta go!"
"Wait What!? But you were the one who wanted to talk!" Mismagius shouted
"Yep! And we did! Now it's time for sleep! See you later!" Krookodile shouted as he ran through the door and made a Krookodile shaped hole in it.
"Kroc! Get back here!" Mismagius shouted into the night.
00000000000000
Mismagius: "That dumb Kroc! He was the one who wanted to talk and he just leaves like that! Who the hell does he think he is!?"
Krookodile: Krookodile sighed with relief. "That was close. I didn't want this to go all sudden with Mismagius without this." Krookodile said, as he showed his coin. "After all, this is an important decision. I'm sure the fates will guide me the way, just like they always do."
