Celebi: Previously on Total Drama Pokemon, the campers participated in the Awakathon. Admist the extreme boredom, relationships grew tighter and alliances started to play smarter. It was Bagon, who was framed for an attack on Spinarak, who took the fall. What will happen tonight?

It was late at night, and Celebi was chortling as she watched the sleeping contestants float past her into a long, dark building. This next challenge was going to be fun.

0000

Mareep shifted in her sleep and fell off her bed. The fall woke her up, and Mareep stared at her surroundings for a moment, before releasing a blood curdling shriek. The noise travelled throughout the dark building, waking many of the sleeping Pokémon.

0000

Spinarak groaned and rubbed her aching head. Last thing she remembered was Jirachi coming into her cabin, and then it had been lights out.

The bug-type tried looking around at her surroundings, but it was too dark to discern any object.

A buzzing noise sounded behind Spinarak, and then the entire room lit in a dim light. All there was in room was her bed and the four walls. Spinarak turned and saw the source of the light, a giant picture of Celebi's head.

"Welcome, contestants, to your next challenge. You are each in your own secluded rooms, where you will face your deepest and darkest fears. The challenge is simple, if you can survive your fear the longest, you win it for your team. Good luck."

The image fizzled out, and the room went dark.

0000

Numel looked around at her new surroundings. After Celebi's message, the entire room lit up in a bright light, and then the new surroundings appeared. Now, Numel was standing in a pool. The water felt cool as it splashed up against her legs, and Numel shivered.

The low rumble sounded, and Numel soon noticed the water level had started rising. Numel started to shake even more.

0000

Sandslash was screaming so hard, his lungs hurt. After Celebi's message, the floor had opened up from underneath him, and Sandslash had started falling. Air rushed past the ground-type, yet the ground did not seem to be coming closer.

"PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP!" screamed Sandslash, who was on the verge of tears.

Suddenly, the wind and images stopped, and Sandslash fell to the ground. He eventually pushed himself off the ground and left his room. Outside, both Celebi and Jirachi were rolling on the ground, laughing.

0000

Sandslash scowled.

"When I was a young Sandshrew, I got stuck up on a mountainside. I was trapped there for three days. It… it wasn't pleasant."

0000

Glaceon was standing on a rocking ship in a sea that expanded for miles. Surrounding her was a gang of pirates.

"Come on pretty, we only want a peek," said the Captain.

Glaceon eyed the chest she was standing next to.

"Nothing as smelly as a Muk drowned in a sewer and then thrown into a dumpster will get near my treasure chest," snarled the Fresh Snow Pokémon before jumping at the captain, releasing a loud shriek.

0000

Wigglytuff was on the floor, sobbing. In front of her has a mirror, and reflected in the mirror was…

"B-BAD HAIRCUT!" screeched the Balloon Pokémon. "P-please, m-make it go away!"

Wigglytuff's room lit up, and after taking a moment to collect herself, the normal-type left her room to meet the laughing hosts.

0000

Snover was surrounded by flames. The heat was excruciating, but the Frosted Tree Pokémon was stout. She did not want to be the first contestant to drop out, but the flames were starting to come too close for comfort, and Snover shouted out for the torture to stop.

0000

Umbreon was sitting in a waiting room of a hospital. Surrounding him were friends and family, all of who had grim looks on their faces.

A Chancey came into the room and motioned for Umbreon to follow her. The dark-type obliged, and followed the nurse through a side door.

0000

Delibird was tied to a chair, and in front of him was a masked figure, holding Delibird's bag. Though he was trying hard, Delibird could not move his chair. The ice-type's eyes widened in horror as the masked figure pulled open the draw-string of the bag.

"NO!" Delibird shouted while breaking down in hysterical sobs. "Please STOP!"

Upon Delibird's command, the figure disappeared and the room lit up.

0000

Celebi and Jirachi were on the verge of tears. But unlike the contestants, the host's tears were from laughter. Contestants were dropping like flies, and their reactions during the tests were hilarious. So far, Sandslash, Wigglytuff, Snover, and most recently Delibird had dropped out. Sandslash was still twitching from his sky-diving experience, and Wigglytuff would let out a dry sob if you mentioned mirrors. However, Delibird's reaction was by far the funniest.

The front door to the cabin slammed open, and the small Ice-type stormed out toward the hosts.

"Where is it?" he asked in a low, menacing voice.

Celebi smirked, but Jirachi was the first to speak.

"You need relax man. Your inner chi is dark and pained."

Celebi eyed her counterpart before speaking.

"Your bag is exactly where you left it. Perhaps you should take Jirachi's 'advice' a chill out."

Delibird's eye twitched.

"I don't have to listen to an outdated hippie nor a wannabe hag. Screw both of you!"

Everyone watched the usually quiet Pokémon leave with shocked faces. Celebi, however, was livid.

"See if you can call me a hag and get away with it," she muttered under her breath, glaring into the back of Delibird's skull.

0000

Delibird glared at the camera.

"You do NOT mess with my sack. If anyone knew what was in there… well, let's just say it wouldn't be good."

0000

Glameow was tied down to a flat table with each of her front legs tied down in front of her. A masked figure had come into the room carrying a small tray. The figure had set the tray down in front of Glameow and she saw what was on it. Needles.

Glameow shuddered in fear as the masked figure picked up a needle and approached the normal-type Pokémon. She screamed as the needle was pushed into her skin.

0000

Lunatone had no idea where he was. The place seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember. He also couldn't remember the Pokémon around him. Again, they seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember. Lunatone watched warily as one of the figures approached him.

"What's your name?"

Lunatone started to answer, but stopped. What was his name? He couldn't remember, and that terrified him.

"I don't know! Please, leave me alone!"

"But we just want to help you," The figure insisted. "Where are you from?"

"I DON'T KNOW! PLEASE STOP IT!"

The image faded and Lunatone's room lit up. The psychic-type floated out of the room, shaken.

0000

Electryke was stuck, literally. His feet were in hardened cement, making movement in his legs impossible. The electric-type Pokémon started crying from frustration and fear, and quickly dropped out.

0000

Gible was in shock. In front of her was a piece of paper with a note on it. It said:

'WE ARE SORRY, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED FROM THE COMPETITION. THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTACK ON BAGON LAST EPISODE. AS A RESULT WE ARE ALLOWING HIM BACK IN, REPLACING YOU. FROM YOUR CARING HOST, CELEBI.'

"I lost?" Gible mumbled in a soft voice. The dragon-type stood quietly for a moment, before picking up his bed in rage and throwing it across the room. The throw was so hard that the bed broke through the wall and hit Sandslash, who happened to be standing nearby. Gible walked out to a mixed chorus of laughter and silent amazement.

0000

"No, you can't."

Polywag was on the verge of hysterics. She had just one the challenge for her team, and was excited. But her friends weren't.

"How could you do it Polywag?" asked Electryke.

"Yeah, why would you cheat?" asked Totodile.

"You should leave now, before someone gets hurt," threatened Snover.

Polywag watched as her friends abandoned her. The water-type was alone and everyone hated her. That was a sickening feeling that left her on the verge of tears.

"Please, don't leave me," Polywag said in a soft voice. "Please stop it. I can't take it!"

The room lit up, and Polywag walked outside to join her fellow contestants.

0000

Hitmontop could not see anything except fog. It was everywhere he went. Hitmontop tried running for a while, but there was still no sign of anybody. He had tried shouting for the other contestants, but received no answer. The fighting-type had started to get nervous, and he could have sworn that he saw shadows walking through the fog.

Hitmontop took a deep breath to calm his nerves, but choked on the fog surrounding him. The shadows started to move closer to him, and Hitmontop started to choke even worse. Things got to be too much for him, causing the fighting-type to call out for help and drop out of the competition.

0000

Staravia was flying low to the ground. She was lost in a forest. The flying-type had tried to fly up out of the trees, but she could never make to the tree tops. She had flown straight for a while, but there was no sign of the forest ending. Throughout the forest, she could hear wild Pokémon, but she could never find the sources. Staravia dropped out of the challenge after she heard a loud scream behind her, which sent the flying-type sprinting away crying for help.

0000

Spinarak was shivering. Her biggest fear was darkness, and she had never gone so long without being able to see. But she also knew that this was a challenge, and she couldn't drop out too early. But the darkness was getting to be too much, and her imagination started to play tricks with her mind, which caused Spinarak to drop out.

0000

Monferno was trapped under a waterfall. The rushing water was giving him a headache and was causing his tail fire to go exceptionally low. He stayed in for a bit, but had to drop out soon after his test started.

0000

Wigglytuff smirked when Monferno dropped out of the cabin. She knew he was part of Jynx's alliance, and if she had any hope of taking out Monferno, then the fire-type couldn't be winning challenges for his team.

The normal-type Pokémon watched Monferno pass by, giving him a quiet, unnoticed glare, when Wigglytuff noticed Spinarak and Delibird separated from the main group, talking in hushed tones. Wigglytuff grew curious and crept up behind the duo.

"We need to protect ourselves if there is an alliance out there," Spinarak whispered.

"Fine, I'm in, but who should we target?"

"Well, we know that they'll be evolved Pokémon. I think that it would be Skarmory or Lunatone, but I wouldn't put it past any of them. The point is that you need to watch over your shoulder."

Wigglytuff snuck away, thinking about this new challenge that had popped up.

0000

Totodile had just finished facing his fear, a world without water, when he was grabbed from behind by someone. Looking over his shoulder, the water-type saw that it was Gible.

"What do you want with me?"

"It's not me, Polywag wants us," Gible replied gruffly.

"Oh, okay."

The duo walked behind the kitchen, where they found Polywag, who was with Electryke and Snover.

"Alright, what's the deal tadpole?" Gible asked.

"Wow, guess who got out of the wrong side of the Poke-ball today," snickered Electryke.

"Shut up Electryke, this is important."

Everyone turned toward Polywag.

"Listen, Spinarak and I believe that there is an alliance that is targeting the first evolutions, because we are perceived as weaker than them. We need to protect ourselves, and there is safety in numbers, so I'm proposing that we make a counter-alliance."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"I'm not joining an alliance with a couple of losers like you," Gible said flatly.

"Hey, at least our fear isn't losing," retorted Electryke.

"Yeah, your fear is standing still, which makes you way tough than me," Gible replied sarcastically, causing Totodile to grin.

"What are you laughing at, your fear is having no water," snarled Electryke.

"Yeah, well I…"

"SHUT UP!"

The three arguing Pokémon jumped and turned toward the source of the yell, which to their surprise was Snover.

"I'm j-joining the alliance. We need t-to do this if we want to w-win," the shy grass-type said.

"I'm in," Totodile said while nodding in agreement.

"Same here," said Electryke.

Everyone looked at Gible expectantly.

"Oh alright, I'm in to," Gible said while sighing in defeat.

"Great," said Polywag with a smile, "now for a team name, I was thinking The Young-Guns. It sounds kind of tough and has a nice ring to it."

The others all nodded in agreement.

"Alright, to The Young-Guns," Totodile cheered

"Young-Guns!" cheered everyone else.

0000

Back at the challenge, both Roserade and Nidorino had both dropped out from their fear, which for both was being buried alive.

"How can you be afraid of being buried alive, you're part ground?"

"When I was younger, I was trapped in a landslide," admitted Nidorino. "It was the scariest moment of my life."

Roserade nodded in agreement.

"Do you know who is left in the challenge?"

Nidorino scanned over the contestants out of the challenge.

"Well, I don't see Skarmory, Dusklops, Absol, Jynx, Scyther or Fearow."

"And I can't find Grovyle, Umbreon, Shuppet, Lucario, Glameow or Glaceon," said Roserade.

"Looks like this challenge will be a close one."

Roserade again nodded in agreement.

0000

Absol was tied down on a torture rack. Above him was a large water dropper, and on the table next to him was an assortment of medical instruments. Absol's biggest fear was torture.

The dark-type had withstood many types of pains throughout his years, but the torture he was experiencing today was by far the worst he had ever experienced. After an hour of facing his fear, Absol dropped out of the challenge.

0000

Shuppet was floating down a dark cave. However, darkness wasn't Shuppet's biggest fear.

"Hello? Is anybody in here?"

A loud screech answered Shuppet's plea and a swarm of Zubats came swarming out of the darkness. Shuppet screamed and sprinted in the opposite direction. A couple times she thought she had lost the, but the swarm always seemed to find Shuppet. Eventually she had enough, and the ghost-type dropped out of the challenge.

0000

Fearow was freaking out. He had woken up extremely weak and unable to move. He tried rolling over, but couldn't manage that. There was a pitcher of water nearby, but he didn't have the strength to move it. So he sat where he was, unmoving.

After resting a while, he tried moving again, but still couldn't. That's when Fearow started to get nervous. What if he was so weak that he could never move again? What if he couldn't defend himself? That thought scared the flying-type the most, causing him to drop out.

0000

Grovyle was at a funeral, which was confusing because he couldn't remember anyone he knew dying. But the grass-type knew it would have been rude to leave, so he sat it out.

The priest eventually stopped talking, and a somber line formed in front of the coffin as people said the last good-byes. Curiosity got the best of Grovyle and he joined the line. As the line progressed, Grovyle noticed his friends and family standing next to the coffin. As he approached the coffin, a horrible sinking feeling formed in Grovyle's stomach. He looked into the coffin, and saw his own cold, dead body. Grovyle screamed and dropped out of the challenge.

0000

Skarmory was flying slowly. He knew what was coming, but he didn't want to face it.

He eventually got tired and was forced to land and rest. He stopped at a creek to get a drink. As he bent over, Skarmory noticed a figure next to him reflecting in the water. Looking over his shoulder, Skarmory saw his biggest fear.

"Butterfree!"

Skarmory quickly took off, but by the time he was fully air born, a swarm of Butterfree had formed behind him and was closing in fast. Skarmory flew as fast as he could but the swarm soon overcame him, and Skarmory called it quits.

0000

"It's not my fault, there is something unnatural about Butterfree," said Skarmory. "Other people have stupider fears, so I shouldn't be in trouble. But come on, you got to admit that bug Pokémon can be a bit creepy.

"I heard that!" Spinarak yelled from outside the confessional.

0000

Jynx was trapped in a box that kept shrinking.

"Damn claustrophobia," the psychic-type muttered under her breath.

She had taken to curling in a ball and closing her eyes. At the beginning of the challenge, the room had been normally sized, but before she knew it, the room had shrunk to half its size.

Jynx had no idea how long she had been sitting in her box, and she dare not open her eyes to look for a clock. But curiosity started to get the best of her, and she squinted through her eyelids. The wall was right in front of the psychic's face. Jynx let out a muffled scream before ending her challenge.

0000

Glameow had lasted as long as she could. All the way up her arms needles had been pushed underneath the skin. Then came her legs, but Glameow still didn't drop out. It wasn't until the needle had approached her face did Glameow flinch and quit the challenge.

0000

Dusklops was tied to a chair, and in front of him was a Mr. Mime. The ghost-type normally shuddered at the thought of clowns, but he knew this was a challenge and he had to stick it through.

The Mr. Mime did his entire clown routine and still Dusklops wouldn't budge. It wasn't until the mime approached Dusklops with face paint that the ghost-type flinched and forced himself to call off the challenge.

0000

Scyther was trapped in a cemetery, which wouldn't have been so bad in the day, but was damn creepy at night. He had tried the gate, but it had been locked from the outside. So he tried going over the gate, but it was too tall, so Scyther decided to wait out the night waiting at the gate.

The first couple minutes had been alright, but Scyther started noticing dark figures running in between the graves. The bug-type decided to investigate and followed one of the shadows, but it soon disappeared, and Scyther realized he was lost.

Scyther continued to wander through the cemetery while looking for an exit, when he noticed the shadow figures starting to close in. Scyther started to run but he could not get away, and when the figures finally caught up to him, the bug-type called it quits.

0000

Lunatone watched Scyther wander out of the cabin and motioned for the bug-type to join him.

"Who's left?" Scyther asked as he approached.

"Umbreon, Lucario and Glaceon I believe."

"I see. What do you want with me?"

"I want to talk to you about an alliance. I know you are a smart guy, and I need to cover my butt. If we work together, I know we can dominate the game."

Scyther smirked.

"What's in it for me?" asked the bug-type.

"I won't target you; it's as simple as that."

Scyther thought about it for a moment before giving a short nod in agreement.

"We will be known as 'Loplik Kaks.' It means 'Final Two.' I think it's appropriate."

Scyther smirked and nodded again before turning and walking away. Lunatone sighed before turning back toward the others.

0000

Lucario was looking down a mountain side and was watching what looked like ants climb up the mountainside. Another Lucario approached him.

"They are coming sir."

Lucario nodded. "Ready yourself. We attack at dawn."

The other Lucario nodded and walked off. Lucario looked back down the mountain side at the oncoming enemy. The battle would be tough, the fighting-type knew that, but he had devised a battle plan, and his clan had the tactical advantage. Lucario smirked, there was no way anything could go wrong.

0000

Umbreon was being led by the Chansey down a long dark hallway. The nurse sat him down outside an operating room before entering the room. Umbreon could hear hushed voices through the door, but he couldn't make out the words. The door opened again, and the Chansey motioned for the dark-type Pokemon to enter the room.

0000

The enemy was approaching, but Lucario stood strong. He had to keep up appearances if he wanted to stay in the position of leader. Lucario watched, unmoving, as his target entered his trap. Things were occurring exactly how he planned. Lucario waited until they came around the corner before charging.

"NOW!" shouted the valiant leader.

But before Lucario could enter the melee something hit him from behind, knocking out the fighting-type.

0000

The room was completely dark except for a small bed in the center of the room. The bed had a lamp next to it, and the light from the lamp reflected off the silver hair of the figure on the bed. As Umbreon approached he could hear a heart monitor beeping, and each beep seemed slow and far in between. Umbreon approached the bed and pulled the sheet off of the figure's head.

"No," Umbreon said in a barely audible whisper.

0000

Lucario awoke to the smell of death. He lay there not praying that when he opened his eyes, his fears would not be proven true. Suddenly, Lucario was pulled up from the ground roughly and his arms were bound behind his back.

"Open your eyes," said a voice. Lucario ignored the voice and tried to keep his emotions in check.

"Damn it, I said open your eyes!" the voice said before Lucario felt a heavy punch into his stomach. The hit forced his eyes open, and Lucario almost puked at the scene he saw. All around him were bodies of his fellow clan mates.

Lucario fell to his knees. He had let his friends and family down, and they had paid with their lives. Lucario glared at his rival, a shiny Lucario. Filled with rage, Lucario lunged at his rival, only to take another heavy blow, this time to the head. The rival clan laughed at his desperation. Lucario could feel himself fading, and he watched the clan leave through bleary eyes. Lucario closed his eyes a final time. He had failed.

0000

Umbreon stared at the bed in disbelief. The Chansey placed her hand softly on Umbreon's shoulder.

"She is fading," the nurse said quietly.

Umbreon stared at the slow breathing of his half-sister's chest. Umbreon watched the monitor as his sister's heartbeat grew steadily slower. A tear streaked down Umbreon's cheek as the monitor flat-lined.

"Glaceon, no."

0000

Glameow hurried over to Umbreon as he came out of the cabin.

"How did I do?" asked the dark-type.

"You made the final 3, barely outlasting Lucario. You should be proud."

Umbreon nodded sullenly.

"What's wrong?" asked Glameow.

"It's nothing; I'm just a bit rattled by the challenge."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Don't worry about me. How did you fare?" Umbreon asked trying to avoid the subject. Glameow stared at him for a moment.

"I'm shaken but not stirred," she eventually said.

"ATTENTION CAMPERS! MEET ME AT THE CAMPFIRE PIT FOR THE RESULTS OF TODAY'S CHALLENGE!" Celebi's voice boomed through the loudspeaker.

"Shall we?" asked Umbreon. Glameow nodded and the two walked off together.

0000

Everyone gathered around Celebi, who had Glaceon and Mareep standing next to her.

"First off, congratulations to everyone for not going insane while facing your fears," Celebi said when everyone had gathered. "However, special congratulations must go out to our Final 2, who not only lasted longer than all of you, they are the only ones to not quit the challenge."

There was some polite applause, but many there were surprised that timid Mareep had lasted so long.

"Now, there can be only one winner, so Jirachi and I talked it out and decided on a winner. That Pokemon actually conquered their fear, where as the other simply fainted and was unable to quit. That being said, the winner is…."

"Spit it out already!" snapped Wigglytuff.

"Shut it sassy-pants. I'm building the tension! Anyway, the winner is…. Glaceon and the Articunos!"

The Articunos started cheering while the Moltres all groaned.

"That means I will be seeing the Moltres at the Campfire Ceremony tonight. You have the afternoon to think about who you will vote out tonight."

0000

Skarmory, Nidorino and Wigglytuff had secluded themselves at the dock.

"So what is your biggest fear? Nidorino asked Skarmory.

"Nothing." Skarmory said hoping to avoid the subject.

"He's afraid of Butterfree," Wigglytuff said with a smirk. Nidorino burst into laughter.

"Shut it!" snapped Skarmory, glaring at Wigglytuff.

Nidorino tried stifling his laughter, but wasn't good at it.

"Anyway," Wigglytuff said, hoping to distract Skarmory from Nidorino, "we need to decide on who we are voting out tonight. We need to get rid of some deadweight from the team, and I know the perfect person to get rid of would be."

0000

"What they don't realize is that we are actually voting out a threat," admitted Wigglytuff. "I can't have those two knowing all the reasons for my plans. Otherwise they might think that they don't need me, and we can't have that."

0000

"So what are we going to do tonight," asked Gible. He, Numel, Mareep and Totodile had all gathered with Delibird to discuss that nights vote.

"Well, we should vote for the Pokemon that we think would be the leader of an alliance against us," said Delibird. "I think we should vote for Skarmory. He seems to be the type of guy to target someone based off of pure strength."

"D-do we know if there actually is an alliance against the first evolutions?" asked Mareep.

"Well, no," admitted Delibird. "However, all of the eliminations so far have been first evolutions. We need to protect ourselves."

"I just don't know, it's too sneaky for me," said Mareep.

"I'm on Mareep's sided on this one," said Numel.

Delibird sighed. "Do what you want, but I'm voting for Skarmory. I just hope that you don't regret your decision."

0000

Lunatone was floating in the confessional.

"My decision tonight will affect how the game will play out in its entirety. Who I eliminate can cause paranoia and pit alliances against each other. In a sense, I am God and the game is my domain."

0000

"Well Moltres, welcome to your first Campfire Ceremony," Celebi greeted the campers. "How does it feel to be the losers? Sucks, doesn't it."

The Moltres were silent and eyed each other nervously.

"Anyway, it's time to announce who is going home. If I call your name that means you are safe. You will come up and grab a Pokeblock. If you don't receive a Pokeblock you are eliminated from the game."

Celebi paused a moment to let her words sink in.

"Mareep and Lucario are safe."

Mareep squealed in delight while Lucario simply nodded before getting up.

"Scyther and Grovyle,"

Scyther had no reaction while Grovyle smirked before getting up.

"Gible and Totodile,"

The duo high-fived before getting up.

"Staravia and Numel,"

Each let out a sigh before getting up.

"Absol and Dusklops,"

The two friends nodded to each other and smiled.

"And Wigglytuff, Nidorino and Sandslash."

Each let out a sigh as a Pokeblock was thrown to them.

"The bottom two is Skarmory and Delibird. However, only one of you needs to go home. The Pokemon staying in the competition is…. Skarmory!"

The steel-type let out breath before turning to Delibird.

"Sorry man."

Delibird nodded. "It's alright, it was bound to happen eventually. I'll go get my stuff."

Celebi watched Delibird walk away before turning back to the Moltres.

"Thank goodness that the birdbrain is gone. Alright guys, that's it. Goodnight."

0000

"Am I disappointed, yeah a bit," said Delibird. "But it's my own fault, I didn't lobby hard enough for the alliance."

"If I were to choose someone to win, it would be Shuppet. She's a great person to hang out with. Other than that, any first-evolution is who I would pick."

"I suppose this is it for me, though I will go home with a new view of the world and the Pokemon in it."

0000

Delibird was board his boat when a voice called out from behind him.

"Delibird, wait!"

The ice-type turned to see Shuppet hurrying to meet him.

"What's up Shuppet?"

"I just heard and I wanted to say goodbye."

"Oh, well bye." Delibird turned back to his boat.

"No wait." Shuppet shoved a present into Delibird's hands. "I made this for you."

"Oh thanks," said Delibird. The two stared at each other for a second, then Shuppet bent in and gave Delibird a quick kiss.

"Bye Delibird," Shuppet said glumly.

"Bye Shuppet."

Delibird got onto his boat, and the boat pulled away. Delibird set down Shuppet's present and lifted the lid off of it. There was a small click and something flew out of the package and smacked Delibird in the face. The ice-type could hear Shuppet's cackling while he wiped pie filling off of his face.

"Gotta love that girl."

0000

Yay chapter is done! I do apologize for the major delay, I had some personal issues I had to deal with.

So this chapter hopefully gave you (the readers) a closer view into the contestants personality. I feel like before that, I hadn't done such a good job at making the characters relatable. I'll wait for reviews to find out how I did.

Anyway, there are alliances forming, relationships forming, and tensions building. Next chapter there will be more fighting, and alliances will be pitted against each other in a brutally tough challenge as we find out who is really in it to win it.

Delibird: "Review, or I'll set Shuppet after your families! Muahahahahahaha! Hmm, I think she might of had an influence on me..."
