Sylveon (Hoopa/Diance)

Staraptor (Hoopa)

Quick little recap: The campers just found out that Altalria is dead, and accusations from the hosts themselves to Whimscott and Purrlion are flying around. But Makoto knows the true killer, and is using his creepy cult items to try and protect everyone. Luxray now knows about the feelings of his two closest friends on the island, but he honestly can't do romance...Or can he? Budew and Happiny are hot on Purrlion's tail, and the ninja wants to get the boot, which of course Espeon won't allow.

Whimscott breathed heavily as she muttered incoherent words. She punched a tree on the way back to the excuse of a cabin, causing a Fletchling to fall out.

"Hey lady, watch where you're going!"

"Can it, Pidgey wannabe!"

"Well I NEVER!"

Whimscott rolled her eyes and kicked the small bird like a soccer ball, out of her way. Skitty bit her lip in worry, and approached the angered fairy.

"I know the hosts are being jerks, but...Are you ok? I haven't seen you so violent in a while."

"I'm...Fine." She sighed. "I don't even know anymore."

Skitty nodded grimly. "I know you didn't do it. You couldn't have."

Whimscott smiled a bit as Skitty continued.

"Something is up on this island, isn't it?" She shifted her eyes to Makoto, who was gloomily trudging back to the cabins. "And I think he needs to give us an explanation…" She yawned. "Tomorrow that is...Tomorrow." She fell asleep on Whimscott who laughed and carried her friend back to the cabins.

-000-

Whimscott: "I am really glad to have Skitty as a friend...She deserves better."

-000-

Purrlion tried to sneak back to the slingshot, trying to fasten himself to it. A paw pressed against him. Then a yank, as he was ripped off the only way out of the island.

"Oh no you don't you lazy, cowardly...Uh...Forget it, you know what I mean!" Espeon hissed.

"Look, I NEED to get off this island and I'm not letting you or your nerdy logic stop me!"

Espeon took a step back, shocked by his anger.

"They are out to get me, and you know it!"

"Wh-what?"

"They killed the bird, they'll kill me. This is a game with only one winner, Espeon." Purrlion ran his paw through his dark violet fur. Espeon shifted her look to the floor.

"Purrlion…" She hesitated. "I...I'll help you. If you help me by not leaving the island."

"What do you care if I leave?"

"...That's none of your concern."

Purrlion grinned. "Sure. Tell me."

"No." Her face had a ghost of a smile.

"Please?"

"No."

-000-

Purrlion: "Ok I am pretty sure this chick is crushing on me, not that I'm complaining. I wonder if I can get her to say it? Dad always said my puns bring all the girls to the yard."

-000-

"Hey, what does a house wear? A dress. Did you see what that blind kid did? Neither did he!"

"That was horrible…" Espeon shook her head as she tried to escape the puns.

The ninja cat blocked her from leaving. "You heard that cheese factory that exploded? There was de brie everywhere! You know what they say, If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

At that the brainiac snorted, and started to giggle, and Purrlion gave a hopeful glance. "No."

"Aw come on! Fine, fine. I won't leave. If you'll be my personal shield."

-000-

Espeon: "I'm going to regret this, aren't I?"

-000-

Happiny was crying while hugging Braixen. "Th-This i-i-i-isn't FAAAAIIIIIRRRRR!" She bawled.

"Life isn't fair…" Budew used his bud to pat her shoulder.

"B-B-BUT WHY?!"

Braixen sighed. "It's alright Happiny...But we should be careful. You saw Staraptor's eyes...Something was very off about 'em." Braixen placed her hat on Happiny for comfort, catching a glimpse of Luxray and Arcanine chatting. Alone.

-000-

Braixen: "Dagnabbit, why is my ife so darn complicated? *Sigh*...You know at this point, I think Happiny is more important than my love life, now that Staraptor is gone and all."

-000-

Arcanine was making small talk with the electric cat, noticing his lack of eye contact.

"Lux, is something wrong…?"

"NO I'M NOT INTERESTED IN A RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE….UH BECAUSE…" Luxray was looking eye to eye with Arcanine for the first time that day. "Because...I have a girlfriend."

There was a moment of shocked silence as Arcanine tried to process that.

-000-

Arcanine: "Well I kind of assumed he was straight but I really hoped he wasn't. A guy can dream, right? Nethertheless, I am shocked and sad of course." Arcanine pushed his paw across his face. "And sad…"

-000-

"HOLY SH*T, WHAT THE HECK!?" Braixen screamed from across the clearing. "Why do you think my ears are so big!? I can HEAR!"

"Braixen I think y-y-ou need to c-calm down…" Happiny soothed.

-000-

Happiny: "I know i-its hard for Braixen, but t-to be honest t-this isn't all that shocking. Oh no, Rocky, I'm t-turning into that c-crazy ninja cat we want to catch!"

-000-

"I'M SOOOORRRRRYYYYYY!" Luxray bawled as he scampered back to his log.

There was an awkward silence that filled the area.

"He had a girlfriend all this time…?" Braixen's anger melted into sadness as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You think you have it bad? There is no possible WAY he could be interested in me! He's straight! You actually have a chance!" Arcanine barked. He shook his head. "Whatever." He muttered, heading back to the Diance cabins.

Braixen stood there, not knowing how to react.

"L-lets go back to the l-log." Happiny calmly suggested. It was her turn to take care of the cowgirl.

"Yeah, let's." Budew chimed in, with a calm smile.

The night was filled with gentle sobs and quiet guitar songs...As well as some scary-ass demonic chanting.

"Alla allu sama heman. I ask to slow the demon! Akhu luca pled ian, I ask to slow down the demon!"

…

Braixen opened her eyes to green. And not the metaphorical green for envy, but actual green. Everything was green from the tile floor to the heavy looking door on the right...Wait where was she? She wasn't in a log, that was for sure. She frantically started whipping her head around. She seemed to be in some sort of science lab, a GREEN lab? Wait was she floating? She tried to scream, but only bubbles came out of her mouth.

Holy Tauros dung with cheese on top!

She saw multiple tubes filled with fluids giving off an eerie green glow flanking her left and right.

Multiple tubes with bodies. The bodies of the contestants. Floating and unconscious, helpless their bodies limp. Happiny looked so lifeless, her beloved Luxray so uncharacteristically inactive and flat. All of their clothes and items gone.

Clothes and items gone...She quickly patted her head in a frenzied, terrified, manner. Where was her hat?! She started to panic. That was her father's hat! She needed that it was, it was...

it's the only bit of him I have left.

The heavy door slammed open, Braixen acted unconscious.

"Hm, the preservation of the contestants seems to be working, none of them aged a day!" a nerdy, high pitched voice noted.

The cowgirl opened an eye to get a better look at the speaker. A Joltik with huge glasses and what Braixen assumes to be white lab coat, cheerily wrote something down and smiled. Seeing that this tiny little scientist wasn't much of a threat, Braixen fully opened her eyes.

"HEY!" She tried to say, although the fluids made it hard.

The Joltik looked up from his clipboard and squeaked fearfully.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?"

The Joltik pulled a walkie-talkie out of nowhere. "M-mayday mayday! One of the test subjects has awaken! I repeat, one of them has awaken!"

Whoops. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

"Dr. Sparks, I thought I told you that you needed to chill out." A new voice tsked.

"Y-yes Frillish."

"FRILLISH?!" Braixen screamed. "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE COMING BACK HERE YOU LITTLE-"

Frillish merely pressed one of the buttons on his remote, the 'mute button'. A full 2 minutes of Braixen yelling and screaming with no sound continued and Frillish unmuted her.

"...Dagnabbit jack drinking prick!"

"Feel better?"

"I hate you!"

"Whatever. Dr. Sparks, release them. We just won the case a few hours ago, but believe me it took forever to find a lawyer. We found this one guy that looked like a freaking Bunery with that stupid hair that said he wasn't going to defend a weird ass jellyfish and a fat pig with anger issues...After Emboar beat him up-sorry I mean "physically assaulted"- him we had two cases on our hands. And the only lawyer we had left was this spiky haired idiot which we bribed but that isn't important." Frillish sighed. He looked older, how long has it been?

Dr. Sparks nodded as he pulled a lever with surprising strength. All the contestants' tubes lifted up, causing all the glowy liquid and the contestants bodies to tumble to the tile floor.

"Ow...What in the reverse world…" Whimscott mumbled, awake. Her prized hair wet and ruined. "MY HAIR! WHO'S RESPONSIBLE fOR tHis!?"

"DEMONS!" Makoto screamed at the very voice of Whimscott. "Dammit, why don't you give up!"

"I cAn't Go HomE WiTHOut ThIS!" Whimscott droned, her eyes were glazed over.

They were interrupted by Skitty, who awoke with a snap. "I was having the weirdest dream that I had to solve the murder of this guy with this weird Buneary hair!"

"I hate that guy," Frillish mumbled.

"Wait, what?"

Happiny rubbed her eyes, and checked her little pocket. "WHERE'S ROCKY!?" She wailed.

"We confiscated all your items before we put you guys in the age preservers so," Frillish started.

"GIVE HIM TO ME!" She said with a surprising amount of anger.

Budew awoke, eyes wide. "Calm down! Happiny, chill!"

"N-no, YOU chill!" Her voice was shaking.

Luxray was awake, but you couldn't tell by looking at him. "I can't believe I told them…"

Arcanine was also awake, and since absent with a ukelele, plucked the air as he strung a song out from his heart.

"I see you driving down town with the guy I love and I'm like forget you-uuu! I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough I'm like forget you and forget her too, see if I was richer...I'd still be with you, now ain't that some shhhit! And although there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best with a forget youuu-uuu!"

All of a sudden, a new voice started to sing in harmony. A slow, sad, harmony. "Yeah I'm sorry, can't afford a ferrari, but that don't mean I can't get you there!" It was Braixen herself.

Arcanine smiled, singing the next line. "I guess she's an xbox, and I'm more Atari…"

"But the way you play your game ain't fair!"

" I pity the fooooooolll who falls in love with you,"

"Oh he's a gold digger! Just thought you should know-" Braixen paused, trying to find a word to replace the racist slur. "Oh, I give up."

Arcanine let out a laugh.

-000-

Arcanine: "I feel like this sort of bonded us...Music and rejection I mean. We've been so distracted that we forgot we could be friends I guess."

-000-

Braixen: "Who knew Arcanine was a fellow music lover like me? I'm still upset about Luxray...But I don't think that's an excuse to act rude."

-000-

Luxray: "They're finally friends...BONDING OVER HOW MUCH THEY HATE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He bawled.

-000-

Purrlion awoke to find Espeon dragging him over to where everyone else was meeting, glaring at a smug Frillish and a confused Dr. Sparks.

"Alright so I'm guessing you losers want an explanation?"

"HELL YEAH WE DO!" Arcanine growled.

"Well here it is. So basically me and Emboar got sued and shit. The show got cancelled, but we kept you here in age preservers so when we won the trial, we can continue the show. It's been about 2 years."

Surprised murmuring rippled through the crowd.

"What about our parents!?" Espeon wailed. "My mother would kill me if she knew I did nothing for 2 years!"

Frillish laughed. "Don't worry. Your parents don't know nothing. As far as I care, they think you died! But with the show back on, I'll finally get a paycheck...Anyways. Challenge time, losers."

Emboar kicked the door open, holding a time bomb. Dr. Sparks jumped up in surprise.

"We can't have any evidence that we did this sooo we gonna blow it up. Today's also the merge and whatever, so if you want to live and win 1 million poke...Ya better start running, 'cause you have 1 hour."

Emboar dropped the time ball and snapped his fingers, summoning a Pidgeot and flying off. "Ciao!"

"B-b-b-but what about m-me!?" Dr. Sparks wimpred.

"Hurry up."

The tiny spider jumped onto the bird. "Good luck! Oh and your stuff is uh, here!" He tapped a button, and their items fell to the ground. He gave an apologetic smile.

"I hate our hosts." Purrlion mumbled.

"I think everyone does," Espeon quipped, scrambling to pick up all of her and Purrlion's things. "Here's your silly sword,"

"Thanks."

Happiny watched the two purple pokemon, as she possessively hugged her Rocky. "T-those two are l-like a married couple…"

"Yeah, he'll be harder to catch with a partner. If she really thinks he's innocent she'll stop us."

-000-

Budew: "So either we slap some handcuffs on Purrlion right now, and deal with an angry girlfriend, or we slap some handcuffs on Purrlion later and NOT deal with an angry girlfriend. I'll go for the latter."

-000-

Luxray: "It's so uh quiet now...Nobody knows what to do...I think Imma try and make a stand."

-000-

"UH GUYS. WE HAVE ONE HOUR TO LIVE BECAUSE THE THING GOES KABOOM. We uh are at the merge...SO we DON'T HAVE TO work together but maybe...We should?" Luxray coughed awkwardly.

Braixen went over to pat the poor guy's back but stopped, paw inches away from his heaving backside. She then stood in front of him. "What he's trying to say, is although its merge, for the sake of our own damn lives, let's work together. We don't have much time."

"Espeon?"

"Yes?"

"You know how a bomb works and stuff?"

"Yes," Espeon already headed towards the bomb, studying it.

-000-

Espeon: "Is this...A joke? This mind as well be a toy!"

-000-

The eeveelution clawed out a red wire and cut it, causing it to dismantle.

Everyone sighed with relief. Looks like working together to save their lives wasn't needed. Maybe they could somehow contact civilization and save themselves as Frillish thought they died. Maybe...Maybe…

Red alarms were ablaze, and a screen with Frillish's smug ass face appeared. "I thought I said I wanted this place to go kaboom. Now tell me, how can it go kaboom if you dismantled the bomb? You guys are laaame. Y'know what? I have a better challenge." The evil little jellyfish snapped his tentacles (?), causing the floor to fall, all the campers screaming as they slid to the exit flying through the air of the old island.

"Last one's the rotten egg...The finish line is up ahead. Self explanatory." The screen went back to wherever it came from….

BLEEEEEEP! An old air horn wheezed out.

The campers, confused and of course angry started to run. A sudden realization shuddered through one of the campers as she stood, frozen, in place.

-000-

Skitty: "NONONONNNOOO MY PENDANT! WHERE IS IT!? It must have fallen! I need to go back!"

-000-

She dashed away from the finish line, like a mad women searching for her lost treasure.

"AhAHhaHaa…" Haunter smiled, holding the Sapphire pendant.

"You dirty trickster." Makoto growled.

"HeY. YoU don'T nEed to PLaY thIs GamE anYmorE. JuSt GIve iN. I jUst waNt to gO hOME."

"You want me to help you eliminate Whimscott?"

"ThinK abOut iT. LesS coMpeTiTION. ReVenge foR HAruka. YoU fInallY GettING THe reSt yoU DeSerVe."

"...Ok."

-000-

Makoto: "It's the merge. I don't have to look after a team anymore…"

-000-

Frillish scanned the area of the finish line, noticing Skitty's absence. "Well looks like that annoying pink cat is out."

"WAIT WHAT?! No voting?!" Whimscott demanded. "What the HECK?!"

"AND NO POKEPUFFS?!" Luxray wailed.

"Yeah we changed it up a bit. And we're low on budget."

-000-

Whimscott: "Skitty told me to go on ahead without her...but now she's going to leave...My only actual friend…"

-000-

Emboar rolled his eyes. "We'll wait for her to reach here. No way I'm gonna look for her."

Makoto approached Whimscott. "Hey,"

"...Hey." She fingered through her damp hair.

"Its ok, I know what it's like to lose the only friend on the island. Remember Haruka?"

"I remember Haruka…I'm so sorry I was horrible to you to ALL OF YOU."

"Do you think you'll make it?"

"Everyone on this island pretty much hates me. So no."

Makoto took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. "Well you could...No that's stupid."

"Do what?"

"You could...Leave with her."

Whimscott gasped. "I can leave with her! Makoto thank you!" She hugged the water weasel who hugged back guiltily. "...No problem."

Soon after, Skitty's pendant fell on top of her head, and she scurried back to the finish line.

-000-

Skitty: "I know I'm last. But you know what? I'm ok with that. This game was getting pretty dark and dangerous. I just hope Whimscott can manage by herself, well actually she has Makoto! Yeah, she'll be fine."

-000-

Skitty boarded the slingshot, ready for her fate...When

"HOLD IT!" Whimscott screamed. "Let me go with you!"

"Whimscott no,"

"Whimscott YES," She hopped onto the slingshot. "I can't stand it here. Knowing that I'm not wanted anyways and these hosts...I'd gladly get out of here with you."

"The two friends were slingshoted out of the island, and out of my face." Frillish sighed. "What will happen next? Find out on Total, Drama, Poffffffiiiin islanddddd."

"Maybe torturing the campers will make you feel that ol' spirit again." Rmboar chimed.

"Whatever." Frillish muttered, as he put up a fake smile. "TOTAL. DRAMA. POOOOOFFFFIN ISLAND!"

A/N: As you can see, the main host doesn't care anymore which will lead to more cynical and quick challenges. I am finally back, this took so long, thank you for waiting. :)
