A/N: I am so sorry that this took this long. But school was pounding away with tests and massive projects and homework and I lost a lot of motivation during that time. But I finally finished the thing! This kind of stuff is hard to do, and so if you read any of my other stories, they're more or less on hiatus until I finish this project. Which will take a long time. Anyways, enjoy chapter 3!

Yellow led Red through the woods towards the aura she had seen. The Pokémon trying to eat the honey off her was slightly annoying, but because she was able to tell them to eat in peace, she just had to deal with all the Bug Pokémon licking the nectar off her. The boy next to her was clearly discomforted by the Pokémon, but she was too interested in the aura to care. She'd been using her new-found power left and right, observing anything she could with an aura while still following the white light.

"Y-Yellow? Are you sure we're headed the right way? I've lost all sense of direction… And I'm worried a larger Pokémon will jump us and attack," Red spoke up behind her.

"Yeah, just hold on a sec. We'll get through, trust me. Besides, you'll protect me won't you?" She stopped for a second to move up close to the now-furiously blushing male.

"O-of course I will! But… I don't want to see you in danger…"

Yellow giggled, her boyfriend was so cute! Everyone always said that he was really dense, but in reality he was a perfect guy! Strong, handsome, and always worried about her. She would've blushed and gotten flustered before, but now she was used to her boyfriend. She wondered if this is what tr- Her thoughts were interrupted by a faint roaring sound in the distance. She perked up, could it be an enemy? She quickly turned towards Red, who was on guard. Soon enough, they burst through a clearing, and she was relieved to find that it was only a waterfall. It poured into a crystal-clear lake, which led to river passing by a ledge on the sea. It was very peaceful.

Yellow looked around, she was sure the white light was somewhere in this area. Red saw her searching and asked, "Umm… Where are we?"

"I don't know, just some waterfall in some place."

"So why are we here?"

"Ah… Because… We… ran into here by mistake?" Yellow lied nervously.

Red nodded in content, and Yellow was relieved he didn't pursue the matter, but something else caught her eye. There was a clear white aura in the center of the pond. She peered in and gasped. 'It can't be!' She smirked, the game was almost definitely hers now.

Running through the woods, Gold heard shrieking all around him as he went further in. All of the Pokémon ignored him and his companion, choosing to either go after the food or potential mate. He snickered to himself quietly thinking about Silver. Sure, he was his friend but that kind of situation was just too hilarious. Ducking and weaving, he tried his best to move in a straight line to avoid running in circles. Oh yeah, he was also dragging Crys behind him.

"Gold! Slow down! Where are you… The Pokémon will attack us if you make too much noise!"

"Chill out! We'll be fine!"

"Gold…"

"Come on!"

They raced on, and Gold picked up on someone laughing. A rare sound amidst the terrified screams. Crystal frowned as she heard it too.

"Is that… Blue?" She tentatively put forward.

He snapped, that was it. And she would be with… Silver. He grinned and made a gesture towards her boisterous laughter. "You wanna go check it out?"

"No, let's just finish quickly."

"Ah, come on Super Serious Gal!" She flinched at the nickname, and he grinned while continuing, "This one's not for elimination. Let's check it out!" Without waiting for a response he dragged her off again.

Silver was in agony. Of all the things to happen, it had to be this. Only now did he know that the powder was pheromones. Was there no limits to Oak's torture? The final icing on the cake was the fact that even though Blue also had the powder all over her, the male Pokémon only swarmed around him. His sister was just rolling on the ground laughing at his predicament. He had to resist all the swarming males around him, fighting to "mate" with him. How embarrassing. Why him of all people? While some were just doing their rituals to try and entice him to them, as if that would ever happen, others were just trying to get him outright.

"Hey! Silver! Buddy!"

He flinched before wondering if there was some divine being that hated him. Gold sat down to watch his torment, and Crystal sat down next to him. And he was almost certain that Oak was watching from a camera somewhere.

The commentary from Blue didn't help either.

"Silvy! Which are you gonna pick? I'm sure that Volcarona there looks manly. Or maybe you're a Scyther kind of girl? Wow, you're so lucky to pick your mate among all these big, strong males…"

"Can it, Blue! You're not helping!" Silver snapped while trying to fend off all his suitors.

"Silver!" shouted Gold, who was getting Silver really pissed off at this point. "Watch out for the Victreebel!"

"Huh?" Silver turned, and there were Victreebel, but they were slow and easy to get away from. "What are you talking about?"

"Well their mating ritual is to tie up the females before mating with them…"

Silver's eyes widened in alarm, and tried to maneuver as far away from the Pokémon as he could. But because God never let him get his way, sure enough, vines shot out and tied his hands and feet rendering him completely incapable of defending himself. He was hoisted up, now a toy amongst all of the hungry male Pokémon.

"Dammit! C'mon guys, a little help here?" he pleaded.

Blue was being selectively oblivious about the danger her brother was in, Crystal was pretending nothing was wrong, and Gold didn't even bother to hide his amusement.

He struggled, but the vines were too tight. "Oh come on, what the hell? Pokémon aren't supposed to do BDSM! This is rated T for god's sake!"

"Aww, c'mon buddy! They like you! Make their day and give them a lap dance or something!"

Crystal, who incidentally, was red as a tomato, finally stood up to try and help Silver out. Gold pouted, "Aww, fun's over already?" That bastard.

The Pokémon recoiled from Crystal thanks to her choice of path B, and the Victreebel loosened their vines when she came close. Silver fell back onto the ground, and sighed in relief. He turned towards his sister and his friend, with a murderous look in his eyes. Wary about the Pokémon who had only retreated and were apparently waiting for Crystal to leave before pouncing on Silver, he grabbed his loyal sister, and made a run through the forest.

What a humiliating experience. He sure wouldn't be forgetting that any time soon.

Cheren facepalmed, for some reason, that happened a lot when he was around Bianca.

"Cheren! Why can't we just feed the hungry Pokémon?" she asked with a sincere expression on her face. God, she truly was an idiot. Couldn't she hear all the screaming around her? Or was she still in her own little world, blind and deaf to everything? The most annoying thing was, she was still following him, like a puppy. No matter what he did, she would follow and annoy the hell out of him. Cheren didn't really have any problem with feeding the Pokémon, provided it was Bianca being fed to them.

He nimbly avoided an Ariados before replying, "Just move!" She happily did so, and they broke out to the final clearing. He took one step forward, and was quickly blindfolded.

"Welcome to the final leg of the race! You're the last pair to arrive!" boomed Oak's annoying voice annoyingly. "This is a partner challenge, your partner will guide you through our course and when you both cross the finish line you will be sorted into your teams! If you take off your blindfold before then, you'll be disqualified! Your partner will be…"

What? He didn't choose? Oh god, the last pair? It better not be Bianca, not Bianca, not Bianca…

"Bianca! Go!"

Cheren groaned. Why on earth did he think it was a good idea to help her?

A pair of arms suddenly hugged him from behind, and that annoying girl's voice cried out, "Cheren! Yay! I'm so happy you're my partner! It's such a lifesaver!"

Lives were saved? Cause it appeared to him like one was just damned to hell.

"Mine, of course! I can be partners with my best friend here!"

Of course. Her best friend. Why him of all people? It could've been anybody else. But no, it had to be him.

"Ugh, let's hurry up. Where do I go?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Go forward!"

"Okay." He took a few small steps forward cautiously before walking with hands outstretched checking for obstacles. "So I just keep going?"

"Yeah!"

Alright then, he walked forward and promptly tripped over something then rolled down a hill. "Bianca!" he shouted. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You're supposed to be telling me where to go!"

"But… I'm closing my eyes waiting for you to tell me where to go."

Cheren facepalmed. This was the kind of situation where one facepalm isn't enough, so Cheren urges you to do the same. Don't let him down, audience! "Bianca. Open your eyes and tell me where to go. You're supposed to be leading me."

He heard her gasp and ask, "You mean you're depending on me?"

"Umm… I-I guess so…" he replied nervously. He hoped he wasn't getting into anything to troublesome… Oh wait. It was Bianca. No matter what he did, it would be troublesome.

Cue Bianca squealing and coming to hug him again. "Yay! I've always wanted someone who relied on me! Oh, thank you so much Cheren!" There's a good reason why it's taken so long, Bianca. Don't get any wrong ideas.

"Okay! Let's go!" she grabbed his and started running towards somewhere. It was all Cheren could do to stay balanced while Bianca was doing a lot of turning. Whenever she turned to avoid an obstacle, Cheren would slam into it before getting dragged in the new direction. Was her mission to cause as much harm to him as possible?

Her pace was fast however, and after a number of bruises were added to his body, they arrived at the goal. "We're here!" Bianca announced happily. Yeah, because it's totally like he could see where they were, and he wasn't blindfolded! "Oh, sorry. Let me start over. We're at the finish line!"

So he could take the blindfold off? Thank god. He slipped off the fabric and saw a big FINISH banner in front of him. Something was off though. Hey, Bianca? Why did you tell me to take my blindfold off when we haven't crossed yet?

"Huh? I just told you we were here!" Of course it wouldn't occur to her to actually finish before telling him they were there.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like you've been disqualified!" Oak announced. What. The finish line was two freaking feet ahead of him! What's there to see?

"However, due to the fact that everyone else has also been disqualified, that means… You all are terrible." Gee, thanks. Besides, it wasn't his fault! Bianca was the one who…

"Now I'll have to divide you into teams, and nobody gets eliminated. Wonderful. Anyways, go back all the way to the campgrounds and wait for the next announcement." All the way back? Through that forest again, too? With Bianca again? Who has the worse deal here, Oak?

*Confessionals*

Red: All disqualified, huh? Well what happened to us was that while Yellow was leading me through, something she was holding fell. It fell at me feet and when I picked it up she squealed and took it back. I… kinda forgot what we were doing for a second and took off the blindfold. But hey, can you blame me? I wonder what it was.

Silver: I can't believe I was disqualified because I ran past Oak with sis, too busy with the horde of Pokémon behind me! I swear, it's like every last Pokémon in the forest went to try and get a piece of me. What is wrong with this island? No, what's wrong with this world? I'm a guy! Get it through your heads!

Lyra: Ugh, this show sucks. The only thing good about it is that in the end, I'll be the one with the cash. It's all that bastard N's fault. We were walking along, and he didn't even need my help when he randomly took his blindfold off. What's with that? Of course Oak disqualified us and sent us here along with Red and Yellow who were nearby. What the hell?

Crystal: Do you even need to ask what happened? I was the one blindfolded, courtesy of that bastard Oak. And another bastard, by the name of Gold apparently made it his mission to have me bump into as many obstacles as he possibly could. Of course I snapped when I fell into that river. How could he be so immature?

Sapphire: Being partnered with Diamond was so depressing. He was sighing the entire time and moving… so… slowly… that… I… couldn't… take… it… any… more… So I just left him. And got disqualified. And I had a bit of fun by diverting some of the water into dirt making a lot of mud for Ruby to step in. Not a bad job if I do say so myself.

Wally: Ruby's the best friend I have on this island, but he's really pushing his luck. I mean, taking the blindfold off just to check his pants for mud? I think that just set all new lows, and I've seen really low stuff, having been an intern and all. But it gave me quite a few skills. I never knew driving a motorboat could be so easy!

Pearl: So beautiful… I can't believe I was with Little Miss! She was so angelic. It doesn't matter that we got disqualified because she thanked me afterwards. Everything felt so light at that point I was sure I died and had gone to heaven. Ah…

White: So I was blindfolded and Black just ran past to go to the finish line, leaving me to stumble around myself. What kind of employee does that? I'll have to do a salary review after behavior like that. And… so what if it keeps him here longer? I don't care that much. He's only an employee.

Bianca: Cheren's so nice to me! I like him so much! He's so strong and silent! He's my best friend on this island! I hope I get to spend a lot of time with him! He's the nicest person ever! I hope we're on the same team!

"The first challenge is finally completed! Soon our campers will be divided into teams and playing for elimination! Who will be with who? How will they react? All will be answered, next time on… POKE... SPECIAL... SURVIVOR... 2!"

A/N: My god, this was fun to write. What was I doing, pushing this off to the side for god-knows-how-long? Oh wait, it was hard too. That's why. But Cheren's part was especially fun, and I'm sorry if it's a little confusing to read, cause usually the characters are talking, an unseen narrator's narrating, and there's occasional thinking, but for Cheren, he's narrating, communicating, and talking in his head at the same time, which others may or may not hear. It's really difficult giving everybody different character traits, when there's seventeen the all blend together and they rub off on another. Sorry for the wait, I'm just really bad with consistency. Hoped you liked it! Team division, next time on POKESPECIAL SURVIVOR 2!
