Are you ready for the aftermath? I hope not, because it's time for another thrilling episode of Total Pokemon Action! Hit it announcer!

Announcer: Last time on Total Pokemon Action, the contestants had to face the challenges of the prehistoric movie. The contestants first had to make a fire using rocks. Mason had planned to keep using Kevin by asking the team about using him to succeed. The team disagreed, but in a plot to rid of Frosty, Mason hypnotized him into telling Kevin to convert into a Skuntank in order to do the challenge, causing their team to be disqualified. In the next challenge, Mason struck again, hypnotizing Frosty into falling off of the pedestal. In the third challenge, a Mamoswine hunt, Mew evolved M.P.S. without his consent and teleported him somewhere away from the group. Everyone began searching for him, but in the end, the Charizards won the challenge and the Slakings were sent to elimination. Due to all of the trouble he supposedly caused, Frosty was sent packing because of Mason. Laxish was also captured by the Evil Alliance after looking for the bathroom. Will Laxish be saved? Will Mason stop being a douche? Find out right now on Total…Pokemon…ACTION!

"Alright Kevin, who's the best target right now?" asked Mason smirking devilishly as he waited for Kevin to reply.

"Phill, he is the most vulnerable person on our team right now", said Kevin.

"Yes!" cheered Mason. "Finally, that little rat will be gone!"

"Yes, and another choice would be…buffering…Titan", finished Kevin.

"Hmmm…he really is a good target, too", agreed Mason. "But, I'm gonna stick with getting rid of Phill."

"I would like to recommend you go to your alliance meeting so you won't raise any suspicion", suggested Kevin.

Mason realized what he meant and took off running towards the horror movie set, even though he didn't go to that many meetings, he had Draco tell him what was going on his secrecy.

000

"Can I please have some food?" asked Laxish pleading now.

"NO!" yelled Vile. "Now, shut up!"

"So, who do you think we should target now?" asked Hope.

"Well, I'd have to say…Freezeo, he's so annoying and we really don't need another Egridos here", said Nero.

"Yeah, that's a good reason", said Aldon.

"Okay, so we are going to get rid of Freezeo on our team", said Vile. "What about on your team?"

"Well, I don't know, because Mason hasn't been talking to me lately", said Draco.

As soon as he said that, Mason padded up to them.

"Where have you been?" asked Aldon.

"Why do you need to know?" asked Mason threateningly.

"I was just asking", said Aldon, not attempting to be hurt, being the only first stage Pokemon in the alliance…well, not counting Laxish.

"Can you just let me go? I have been sitting here for 15 hours", pleaded Laxish.

"No way", said Draco. "We're gonna keep you tied up until the team gets tired of you missing the challenges and they vote you out."

Laxish gulped in fear.

"Yeah, but today we're getting rid of Phill finally", said Mason.

"Thank Arceus", said Draco.

000

Mason: I'm glad Kevin told me to go to that meeting, now there is no suspicion, but just in case, I'm gonna keep an eye on Aldon.

000

Aldon: I just wanted to know where he was for the past few days.

000

"Alright dew, did you tell the team?" asked Carman.

"Nope", said Dew shrugging his shoulders.

"What? Why?!" asked Sabrina.

"Because we won last time, there's no point in doing it if we win", explained Dew.

"So, you're saying that if we lost, you would tell them about the evil alliance?" asked Solis.

"Yes", said Dew. "That would make it easier for us to get them out."

Carman grabbed Dew and kissed him passionately or a few seconds before breaking it. "That's a brilliant idea." Dew grinned at her deviously before kissing her back, with just as much passion as he was given.

000

Carman: Just to get this straight, I am not falling for Dew. I am simply using him to make it far. I am not attracted to his furry waist, his soft black paws, or his deep black eyes…Grrr…snap out of it Carman!

000

Farra: I am getting tired of Striker avoiding me. Today will be the day I have him, whether he likes it or not!

000

Striker was sleeping peacefully, until feeling a very heavy force on his body.

"What the-"started Striker before seeing Farra on top of his with a rope in her mouth. "Um…F-Farra, what are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious Striker? I want you, and no one is going to get in my way!" she said threateningly.

"Farra, y-you've gone nuts!" remarked Striker as Farra began tying him up. Farra smirked, "Yeah, you bet I have, love makes you do crazy things", said Farra as she finished tying him up.

"Farra, you don't have to do this", pleaded Striker. He knew that Farra loved him, probably even more than her life, but her behavior at that time seemed a little crazier than usual. "Yes I do Striker, I'm tired of everyone getting in the way of our love, so I'm gonna make sure we'll be together forever!" said Farra as she kissed him.

Striker was very creeped out now, he knew she was crazy, but this was just obsessive! "What are you planning on doing?" he asked frightened.

Farra winked at him and teleported them away.

Shockingly, a few minutes later, the Slakings all awoke to find Striker's bed empty. "Where did Striker go?" asked Skore.

"First Laxish, now Striker, I wonder who will go missing next", remarked Ebony.

"Hopefully, it's you", mumbled M.P.S. under his breath. Ebony snarled at him, "What was that?!"

M.P.S. sighed and raised one of his feet over his head, "Now what were you saying?"

Ebony silenced himself and continued listening to his team.

"This isn't funny, we've lost two of our friends and who knows what is happening to them?"

000

Laxish sighed as he sat against a bloody wall, "I hate my life."

000

Striker was lying on top on a Buddhist temple next to Farra. "Why the heck are we in Japan?" he asked frantically. "We are going to watch the sunrise together", she answered as she yanked him closer to her, "isn't it beautiful?" Striker looked at her crazily and soon yelled.

000

"CASTMATES COME DOWN TO THE LOT, IT'S CHALLENGE TIME!"

"Well, we can't think about that right now mate, we need to actually win 'dis challenge", stated Titan. "Then afterwards, we'll try to find them."

"I hope that's a good plan Titan", said Rapid.

"I hope so too, mate, I hope so, too", replied Titan.

000

The contestants all gathered at their usual spots, and waited for their demented hosts.

"Hello contestants", greeted Mew with his usual devious smile.

"Ugh…I hate that smile, what's today's genre?" asked Volante.

"Oh don't worry, I'm sure it'll be most enjoyable…for the ladies", remarked Victini while grinning.

"Um…what do you mean 'for the ladies'?" asked Spiro.

"Today's movie genre is…the fairytale movie!" announced Mew. Most of the girls smiled and laughed at this, as this was a girl's best friend when it came to movies. The guys on the other hand…they were either frowning, or scowling at the genre as they knew that fairytales were mainly about how the girl gets a lot of attention and the guy has to save them…and the guy did whatever the girl said.

"Alright, so today's genre consists of four challenges instead of the regular three", started Victini. "And that means, it's more work for the guys!" he finished while smiling.

The guys groaned as the girls smiled at them. "Now, the first challenge is to dub each of the girls a princess", said Mew.

"How are we supposed to do that if there are more guys than girls?" asked Rapid.

"Well, that's easy", said Victini smiling. "If you don't have a girlfriend that is in the game right now, you are immune!"

Th single guys, such as Darren, M.P.S., Klavier, Phill, Kojo, Draco, Kevin, Rapid, Spiro, Skore, Ded, Spike, Sonan, Leon, Freezeo, Anthony, and Aldon all cheered and started to leave, until…

"You didn't let us finish, now all of the single guys move to the side, and all of the couples move to the side", ordered Mew. The contestants did what they were told and the only ones that were left were females who weren't dating anyone, but wanted to and/or were dating someone from the game; mainly Aura, Solis, Sabrina, and Morgan.

"There are 4 unoccupied females here, so we are going to choose who will go with them", said Victini while smiling deviously.

"That's not fair, we're not dating anyone!" yelled Kojo.

"Too bad, you have to do what we say!" said Mew mocking his tone. "Now, the people who are going with you girls…Klavier will be with Sabrina, Sonan will be with Solis, Phill will be with Morgan, and Rapid will be with Aura."

"Wait, so the other girls have sexy, hunky, and strong boyfriends, and we get a flying scorpion, a game junkie, a rat, and a weasel?" asked Aura angrily.

"Yep, that's correct", said Victini.

Aura growled and looked at Rapid, who glared right back at her. "Don't even think about touching me." Rapid scowled and replied, "Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it."

"Alright, now that the couples are in order, the rest of you guys can get out", said Mew.

"Awesome", whispered Skore to his remaining friends, "now we can search for Laxish and Striker."

"Right", replied M.P.S. as he and the 'single' guys went off to do what they wanted.

"Alright guys, it's time for the actual first challenge", said Victini.

"What is it?" asked Luna.

"The guys have to make you a princess by placing a glass slipper on your paw or appendage", said Mew.

"How are we supposed to do that?" asked Ray.

"Well, that's the challenge part, you guys have to find them around the lot!" announced Mew.

"WHAT?!" yelled Phill.

"Yeah, aren't we terrible?" asked Victini.

"Yes!" yelled all of the guys.

"I know we are, now get searching", said Mew. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you, we have a placing chart for you couples. Your rank is determined on what place you finished in the challenge. After the final challenge, out of the couple with the least score, the male is eliminated!"

"That's not fair!" yelled some of the guys.

"Life's not fair, now go find the slippers!" commented Victini.

000

Many of the males that were on the same team stuck together in order to find the slippers more quickly.

"Man, I hate this genre!" yelled Ebony.

"You said it mate", remarked Titan. "The male does all of the hard work for the girl and gets nothing in return."

"Well, he does get some tail", remarked Phill.

"Yeah, that's the only good thing about it", said Volante.

"True…" said Rapid.

Mason was watching his teammates socialize and talk about the challenge, making him grin deviously.

000

Mason: Isn't that sweet? All of my soon to be victims are getting along…I guess I'll have to fix that!

000

"Phill, can I speak with you for a moment?" asked Mason calmly. Phill looked at him crazily, "It depends…am I coming back?"

"Depends on what you say about dark types", said Mason.

"Hmmm…alright, fine, you got 5 minutes before we have to get back to the challenge."

"Don't worry, it'll be brief", said Mason smirking cruelly.

Phill followed Mason behind an alley. "So, hat did you want to talk to me abou…"started Phill, who was soon hypnotized by Mason. "Good, my little friend, now you will do whatever I say", said Mason darkly.

"Yes master", replied Phill.

000

Mason: Haha…hahaha….Mwahahahahaha!

000

"I wonder what's taking Mason and Phill so long", said Volante.

"It doesn't matter", said Ebony as he looked in a trash can, pulling out a shiny blue heel. "I think this is the slipper."

"That's great, now you can wait for us", said Titan.

"No way man, I know were on the same team and everything, but right now it's every man for himself!" yelled Ebony as he ran back to the lot, leaving Volante, Rapid, and Titan alone.

"Remind me to kill him later", said Volante.

"No problem", said Rapid.

000

"This sucks..." commented Ray.

"Eh, it's a fairytale, you learn to get used to it" said Jesse, searching in an alley.

"Yeah…find anything yet Cano?" asked Shade. Cano, who was digging to see if anything was there, came back up and replied, "Nope, not yet, they really hid these things well."

"Well, there is an easier way to do this", said Sonan.

"How?" asked Klavier.

"I'll fly around the lot and see if I can find anything shiny", said Sonan.

"You can fly?' asked Ray confused. "I thought only flying types could fly."

"Golurks can fly and they're Ground/Ghost types", said Sonan as his arms started spinning and he rose off of the ground.

"I have to say Jesse, you have the best kid ever!" said Sparky.

"Thanks. Now Sonan, are you sure you can do this?" asked Jesse, worried for his son's safety. "I'll be fine dad, but just in case, Klavier, I want you to come with me", replied Sonan.

"Um…okay?" said Klavier confused.

"Great, we'll be back", said Sonan as he and Klavier flew off.

000

Some of the male Slakings went back to the trailer to discuss their friends' disappearances.

"Okay guys, where do you think Laxish went? What do we have for clues?" asked Skore.

"Just the fact that he drank 9 gallons of lemonade at dinner two days ago, and we haven't seen him sense", replied M.P.S.

"Okay, he drank a lot, so that means he's been in the bathroom!" said Skore as he and the others left the trailer to examine the bathroom.

000

The Charizard males, Nero, Flame, and Dew were all searching high and low for their slippers, but still came up short. "How the hell are we supposed to find slippers in this Arceus-forsaken lot!?" asked Nero angrily.

Flame rolled his eyes and glided on top of a nearby building to get a better view, but to his surprise, he saw two slippers on top of a rooftop entrance. Flame smiled and grabbed the slippers before gliding back down to his 'comrades'.

"Where did you find these?" asked Dew

"They were on top of that building", replied Flame.

"Well, there are two of them…and three of us, so…see ya!" yelled Nero as he snatched one of the slippers from the fire dragon and changed into an Unfezant to make a quick getaway.

Flame and Dew looked at each other and sighed, "You would've thought he would look down", commented Dew. There was a clump on the ground, where Nero was standing, which upon removing the dust and dirt, revealed a glass slipper. "Well, we have our slippers now, so let's follow the idiot", said Dew as he climbed on Flame's back and they flew back towards the center of the lot.

000

The Slakings made it to the bathroom, and opened the door, revealing nothing.

"Well, Laxish isn't in here", said Spiro.

"Yeah, I guess we should look somewhere else", said M.P.S. "Now, where else would Laxish go?"

"The only other place I can think of is the food tent", said Ded.

"Alright, let's check there, and if we don't find him there, we can start focusing on Striker. I just hope he hasn't done anything to himself", said Skore.

000

Striker and Farra were both floating around in a large space. "Why the heck are we in space? We can't breathe in outer space", yelled Striker. Farra giggled at him, "Anything's possible in Pokemon!" Striker groaned and started to float away from her, but once again, she grabbed his rope and pulled him back towards her. "I hate my life."

000

Mason had just returned with Phill, while Rapid, Volante, and Titan were all still searching for their slippers. "Hey guys", said Phill, still under Mason's control.

"Hey Phill, did you and Mason find anything?" asked Titan.

"Yes", answered Phill as he took out four glass slippers.

"Where did you find those?" asked Rapid.

"They were inside the sports movie set", replied Phill as he tossed everyone a slipper, not keeping one for himself. "What are you doing? What about you?" asked Volante.

"I'll be fine bud, I can just find another one and I'll meet you back at the center of the lot", said Phill.

"Alright, if you say so…hop on guys", said Volante as Rapid, Titan, and Mason all climbed on his back and were taken to the center of the lot.

Phill stood there, unmoving as they flew away.

000

Mason: As you can see my hypnosis is lasting longer once more. I believe the reason it didn't work on Frosty that well was because he was fully evolved, and fully evolved Pokemon have stronger minds. All I have to do is keep Phill under my control, make him fail all of the challenges, and he'll be automatically eliminated.

000

Sonan and Klavier returned back to their team with ten slippers, one for each of their teammates.

"This is awesome, where did you find them?" asked Demenio.

"Well it took about thirty minutes to actually find them all", said Klavier. "But it was easy after we kept seeing some bright light shining in different parts of the lot."

"Okay, we have our slippers, but we really need to move…NOW! " yelled Jesse as he and the guys ran back to the center of the lot.

000

As all of the guys arrived back at the canter of the lot where the girls and hosts were, they were either shaky, or out of breath.

"Alright, you guys all made it back, now, hurry and put the slipper on your girlfriend's paw!" said Victini.

The guys looked down and noticed they still had the slippers in their paws. They quickly raced towards their girlfriend/ date and place it on her paw, ending the first challenge.

"Alright, the first challenge is over, and here are the placings…

1st-Jesse and Lila

2nd-Kai and Clash

3rd-Jet and Sally

4th-Nero and Hope

5th- Cano and Vixen

6th-Sonan and Solis

7th-Klavier and Sabrina

8th-Sparky and Luna

9th-Demenio and sola

10th-Shade and Shine

11th-Volante and Vina

12th-Flame and Marie

13th-Dew and Carman

14th-Mason and Vile

15th-Titan and Cramad

16th-Rapid and Aura

17th-Ray and Summer

18th-Ebony and Ivory

19th-Phill and Morgan

"Yes, were in first place!" said Jesse.

"Hey, at least we aren't last", said Ebony, earning him a death glare from Ivory.

"Alright, right now Phill is the one who might be going home", said Mew. "Remember, the ranks and placings can change throughout the challenges."

"And speaking of challenges, it's time for the next one", said Victini. "And guys, all I have to some of you is…prepare to have your backs broken."

The guys all gulped at that advice.

000

"Well, Laxish isn't in there", said Skore, who had just finished looking through the food tent with the others.

"Well, let's focus on Striker now because we know he's suicidal…well he was until we stopped him", said Spiro.

"Yeah, and now we really need to think, who would want to kidnap Striker?" asked Skore to no one in particular.

"Farra of course, she's obsessed with him!" answered M.P.S.

"Right, and we haven't seen her all day, so maybe she's in her trailer", said Skore as he and his friends headed towards the Charizards' female trailer.

000

Mew and Victini took the contestants inside of the fairytale movie set, where they were met with a huge bridge with Sharpedo infested water.

"What the hell is this?!' asked Titan.

"Your next challenge is to carry your date across the bridge", explained Mew.

"Oh, well that' easy", said Klavier.

"You didn't let us finish", said Mew. "You have to do it….blindfolded!"

The guys' eyes all went wide and their jaws dropped.

"Yeah, we love torturing you all", said Victini.

"Why would you make us do this challenge?! It's obvious a lot of us are going to fall into the water!" yelled Nero.

"Oh, and here's the kicker, if you wall into the waiter, you automatically get placed last", added Mew.

"WHAT?!" everybody yelled.

"Yeah, and girls, feel free to help them", said Victini smiling.

The guys all glared at Victini as Mew continued speaking, "Now, the first place couple gets to go first."

Jesse and Lila exchanged frightened glances and they climbed up the ladder to the bridge. Once they made it to the top, Jesse picked up Lila, who held onto him, and Mew put a blindfold over his eyes.

"I hate this game so much", said Jesse.

"So do I, but let's just hope that the bridge isn't wobbly", said Lila.

"It better not be", said Jesse threateningly.

As Jesse stepped on the bridge, he felt it rock back and forth, "Damn it, it's wobbly!"

"Okay, sweetie, just stay calm and keep going forward. Don't think about anything but me and Sonan", said Lila.

Jesse took a deep breath and slowly started to make his way across the bridge.

"Great baby, just keep going", encouraged Lila as Jesse made it halfway across the bridge. "Okay, we're almost there, just a little more."

After a few more steps, Jesse made it across. Everyone was in awe of how he made it across…except for one.

000

Solis: I can't believe Jesse chose a leopard slut, over a beautiful girl like me. But, I guess I have a part of him with me right now, I'm paired with his son.

000

"Okay Jesse, your time was 5 minutes 8 seconds", said Mew.

"You didn't say anything about time!" said Lila.

"Yeah, I know, aren't we the worst?" asked Victini.

The guys all glared at them as Kai and Clash went next. Kai and Clash climbed the ladder and stood on the side of the bridge. Kai picked up Clash and Mew supplied the blindfold.

Kai immediately sprang up in the air and landed on the other side perfectly. Everyone's jaws dropped when he stuck the landing.

"Okay, screw the time, they're in first place", said Mew.

"Fine with us", said Dew.

"Okay, now it's Jet and Sally", said Mew as he teleported them up there instead of having them climb.

Sally hopped in Jet's arms, and Mew put the blindfold on him. Jet took slow steps walking across the bridge, not wanting to have his girlfriend fall. As he made it halfway across the bridge, he heard a crack, and stopped.

"Um…Jet, one of the planks just broke", said Sally nervously.

Jet's sweat dropped and he started to pick up the pace as he went across. Pretty soon, he made it across, with 3 planks breaking off of the bridge.

"Okay they got 6 minutes 3 seconds, so right now they're in third place", said Mew. "Nero and Hope are next."

"Are you gonna fix the bridge?" asked Hope.

"No", said Victini. "Why would we do that?"

"To keep us from dying?!" yelled Dew.

"Oh please", said Mew.

"Of course that's your answer", said Nero.

"Yep", said Mew as he teleported them to the top of the bridge.

As they got ready to go, Hope and Nero were making a plan. "So, I'll turn into a Raikou and run across the bridge, and break more planks so it'll be hard for the others to get across', said Nero. Hope smiled, "Right."

Nero changed into a Raikou and charged across the bridge with Hope on his back. As they made it to the other side, they noticed that seven other planks had fallen.

"Okay, they got 5 minutes 9 seconds", said Mew.

"That's not fair, they almost destroyed the bridge!" yelled Carman.

"We never said that wasn't allowed", said Mew.

The remaining contestants groaned as the order continued.

"Okay contestants, this challenge is getting boring, so do you know what that means?" asked Victini.

"We don't have to do it?!" asked some of the contestants enthusiastically.

"Nope, that means that it's MONTAGE TIME!"

"NOOOO!"

Announcer: What follows is a brief bridge crossing montage

Cano had Vixen on his back and was walking carefully across the bridge, but then remember that he knew a few psychic moves and teleported him and Vixen over to the other side. Sonan was struggling hold Solis in his arms, being the second youngest contestant after all. He made it halfway across the bridge before passing out from exhaustion. Klavier, being a flying type easily carried Sabrina to the other side without much difficulty. Sparky could hear and sense which planks were broken and which were not and easily leapt from each of the ones that were still standing, getting to the other side with ease. Demenio, being a fire type, didn't want to get wet and leapt from the planks that were still standing. Shade was being careful not to break any of the planks and made it to the other side. Volante easily flew Vina to the other side of the bridge, as did Flame with Marie. Dew easily jumped from each plank with Carman in his arms and landed perfectly on the other side. Mason jumped from each plank easily, with Vile breaking all of the remaining ones.

Announcer: We hope you enjoyed this brief bridge crossing montage

"Okay, that was just wrong!" yelled Ray. "They broke all of the planks!"

"Eh, that means you guys stay in the place you're in", said Mew.

"Oh, well that's okay then, we're still not last", said Ebony earning a slap from Ivory.

"Yeah, keep saying that and I doubt you'll stay alive for long", said Victini.

"Anyways, it's time for the next challenge", said Mew. The guys looked at each other uneasy before looking back at their sadistic hosts.

"What's this challenge?" asked Rapid nervously.

"You have to battle and defeat….Groudon!" announced Mew as the same Groudon from the first episode reappeared.

Rapid passed out as the guys looked at Groudon with wide-eyes. How were they supposed to defeat a legendary? And a huge one at that!

000

The Slaking males were looking through the Charizards' female trailer to see if Farra was in there with Striker. They searched all over, but he wasn't in there.

"Okay, I'm getting tired of this. Where could they be?" asked Spiro.

000

"Why are we on the Bell Tower?!" asked Striker frightened. Farra smiled at him, "We're gonna watch the Kimono Girls dance on top of the Bell Tower."

"What? That's boring!" yelled Striker as started to hop away, only to be pulled back once again. "You'll enjoy it, don't worry."

Striker gulped as the girls started dancing, as they began, he saw something flying towards the tower. As the figure came closer, he realized that it was the legendary Ho-Oh, and it was heading strait for him! Ho-Oh swooped down and grabbed Striker before flying off once again. "I'm free! I'M FREE!"

"Striker!" yelled Farra as she teleported off of the Bell Tower.

"Thank you Ho-Oh, you saved my life!" thanked Striker.

"Yeah, you're welcome, I know how crazy girls can be, I've been with Lugia", said Ho-Oh.

"Wow, all legendaries have relationship problems", said Striker under his breath.

"Well, I think we're far enough and high enough", said Ho-Oh as he stopped flying. Striker was confused at what he meant, "What do you mean we're far and high enough?"

In response, Ho-Oh dropped Striker and started falling down.

"F*** MEEEEEE!"

000

"Now, before we get started with this challenge, let's take a look at your placings again:

1st- Kai and Clash

2nd- Jesse and Lila

3rd-Nero and Hope

4th-Jet and Sally

5th- Cano and Vixen

6th-Klavier and Sabrina

7th-Volante and Vina

8th-Flame and Marie

9th-Demenio and Sola

10th-Sparky and Luna

11th-Shade and Shine

12th-Dew and Carman

13th-Sonan and Solis

14th-Mason and Vile

15th-Titan and Cramad

16th-Rapid and Aura

17th-Ray and Summer

18th-Ebony and Ivory

19th-Phill and Morgan

"Okay, they switched a little bit, and Phill and Morgan are still at the bottom", said Mew as Morgan glared at Phill, who still stood unmoving after being brought back by Mew during the bridge crossing challenge.

"Now, back to Groudon; you have to defeat him in order to move in ranks", said Mew, "and you'll all be battling him at the same time. This means there'll be a lot of betrayal!"

The guys looked at each other sad.

"What level is he?" asked Titan. Mew snickered and told them, "Level 100"

The guys stared at Groudon wide-eyed once more before Victini snapped them out of it, "Yeah, it's gonna take a lot of moves in order to take him down!"

The guys all gulped and started to think of a plan. "Now, Groudon, you may begin attacking when you want.

"Wait, what?!" yelled Dew as Groudon used Hyper Beam on the guys, who all quickly dodged…except for Phill, who was knocked out instantly.

"Phill is out!" announced Mew.

"Wait, can you explain the rules please!" yelled Sparky as he tried dodging Groudon's attacks. Mew groaned and explained the rules, "If you get knocked out by Groudon, you're out of this challenge and you go to the bottom rank! It keeps going on until one person is left standing. The last guy standing has to battle and defeat Groudon. If he doesn't, he goes to the middle rank! The first guy to knock out Groudon gets top rank, no matter what!"

The guys all heard the rules and started attacking Groudon with moves that didn't work on him that well. When he had had enough, Groudon jumped and used Earthquake, knocking out the Electric, Steel, and some of the Fire-types with ease.

"Well with one move, Groudon just knocked out Jesse, Sparky, Shade, Demenio, Titan, and Ebony", announced Victini.

Jet used Ice Beam on Groudon, which froze one of his feet. He repeated the process with his other foot, which made Groudon angrier. In his fury, Groudon used Eruption, which launched flaming rocks towards the guys, knocking out Mason, Shade, Rapid, Ray, Sonan, Klavier, and Nero, but also melting the ice around his feet.

"Wow that was fast, we're already down to the final 6!" laughed Mew.

"Yeah, three fire-types, a dragon type, and two water-types how original", sneered Vile.

Groudon used another Hyper Beam, this time actually knocking out Volante, Cano, Flame, and Dew.

"Alright, the final two, Kai and Jet", said Victini. "I wonder who'll be knocked out next."

"Oh, and girls, I hope this challenge shows which of your boyfriends is the strongest and in what order, well when facing a Groudon anyways", said Mew.

Kai kept dodging Groudon's ground-type moves, knowing one more attack would do him in. Jet, on the other hand still had enough power to use another Ice Beam, this time successfully freezing his entire body. "Alright, now, it's down to who can knock him out first!" yelled Mew.

Just as the guys were about to deliver the final knockout blow, everyone heard something.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Striker as he smashed into the Groudon at 187 mph, breaking the Groudon into pieces.

"Wait, the Groudon wasn't real?!" asked Shade.

"Of course not, and neither was the one from the first episode. Groudon was too busy trying to kill Kyogre to come help us out after what we did for him", said Victini.

"What did you do for him?" asked Ray.

"Trust me, you don't want to know", said Mew. "Anyways, Striker is in first place!"

"What?" asked some of the guys confused. "He didn't even do the other challenges!"

"Remember, I said who knocked out Groudon gets first place, no matter what", said Mew.

"He doesn't even have a date!" yelled Ebony. As soon as he said that, Farra teleported next to Striker, "Striker are you okay?"

"Stay away from me, you're insane!" yelled Striker as he hopped behind Shade.

"Come on Striker, you're overreacting", reasoned Farra.

"Stay away!"

"Enough drama, it's time for the last challenge!" announced Mew. "Oh, and the girls are excused from this challenge!"

"Why? I want to see what the guys have to do", said Vile.

"Oh, well the guys have to race up a castle and whoever gets up there first gets the top rank and the last person to make it up there is automatically eliminated", explained Mew.

"Wait, so we just have to race?" asked Dew.

"Yeah, now GO!" yelled Victini.

The guys all ran into the castle, with the flying types simply flying to the top. Phill, still under Mason's control, stayed still and didn't move an inch. Mason decided to look back and admired his handy work, but ran into the wall. A lot of the guys began pushing and shoving one another, trying to make it to the top. Volante, being one of the fastest flying types got to the top first and got the top rank, followed by Flame and Klavier, who claimed second and third. Rapid, being one of the fastest Pokemon, as well as one of the shortest fully-evolved Pokemon easily weaseled his way to the front of everyone who was inside the castle. Jesse ran as fast as he could, and forgot that he could use ExtremeSpeed to make it up there quicker. Cano, upon seeing what Jesse was doing, used the same move to run faster. Pretty soon all of the guys were going as quick as they could to the top.

As the final guy made it to the top, Mew told them the results. "Okay guys, I forgot to tell you that the place you got in the race changes your rank completely, so let's see whose going home!"

Mew showed them their ranks:

1st-Volante

2nd-Flame

3rd-Klavier

4th-Jesse

5th-Cano

6th-Rapid

7th-Jet

8th-Kai

9th-Demenio

10th-Shade

11th-Sparky

12th-Sonan

13th-Dew

14th-Mason

15th-Ray

16th-Titan

17th-Nero

18th-Ebony

19th-Striker

20th-Phill

"And the loser is…Phill!"

Mason smirked deviously as he freed Phill from his control.

"Ugh, what happened?" asked Phill holding head.

"Phill, you're automatically eliminated. Go to the Lame-O-Sine immediately!" yelled Mew from the top of the castle.

"Wait…I'm out?! How am I out?" asked Phill

"You just lost the race, now leave!" yelled Mew.

Phill frowned and walked to the Lame-O-Sine.

Skore: Okay we searched everywhere, and we still didn't find Laxish or Striker!

000

"Well, I give up", said Spiro.

"This took too long", said M.P.s.

Pretty soon, Striker found his friends and hopped towards them with a smile on his face. The guys saw him and smiled.

"Where were you all day?" asked Skore.

"Well, Farra tied me up this morning, and teleported me to Japan, outer space, and then she took me to the Bell Tower. Ho-Oh grabbed me and kept flying…then he dropped me and I landed back here!"

"Man, Farra's nuts!" yelled M.P.S.

"I know!" So, did you find Laxish?" asked Striker.

"No, we have no idea where he is", said Ded.

000

Laxish was on his back staring at the ceiling in a pool of his own urine. "What did I ever do to deserve this!"

000

"Well, we'll try again tomorrow", said Striker.

"Right", said Skore.

000

Mason: My plan has worked once again. Titan is my next target, and just like the others, he will be a victim of his own weak mind. *laughs evilly*

000

Well, that's another innocent one gone, let's hope Titan doesn't fall for Mason's tricks. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, as it was way longer than any of my other ones. Will Mason strike again? Will Laxish be found? Will Farra stop being creepy? Find out next time on Total…Pokemon…ACTION!
