Episode Twenty-Nine: Race Down Mt. Moon
Episode 29! Yay! And now that school's out, I'll probably be able to post these chapters a lot faster. In fact, I was finished with this chapter yesterday, but I didn't want to post them too fast. Anyway, enjoy!
TDU Train, Conductor's Room
"Last time on TDU," Chris began. "Since I was arrested because of a certain Pokemon Trainer, Chef ran a military style challenge. After having to go through an obstacle course, jumping out of a plane, and hanging upside down from a tree, Joey actually won a challenge when Angel succumbed to the meds Chef had snuck in to her food, and when Phineas fell from the tree due to paralysis. Who will rise? Who will get thrown off next? What other challenges do we have in store? Find out right here, right now, on Total…Drama…Universe!"
(Theme Song HEY I JUST MET YOU AND THIS IS CRAZY BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER SO CALL ME MAYBE)
First Class
"We have First Class!" Morgan yelled, using her wand to fling a pillow at an intern. It hit him so fast that he fell on the floor, spilling soup all over himself. She looked around. "Where's Zoey?"
"Right here," Zoey answered, coming out of the training car. She grabbed a water bottle on the counter. "Wow…I used an arrow shooting simulation in there. It's wicked hard!" She took a gulp of water. "Where're Ash and Joey?"
KABOOM!
The two turned and looked out the window, where the two boys were desperately trying to hold on to the outside of the train. "Help!" Ash yelled.
"Should we help them?" Zoey asked.
"In a minute," Morgan replied with a smirk. Zoey rolled her eyes and opened the window, dragging the two back in to the train.
"What were you guys doing out there?" she asked, shutting the window.
Joey stood up. "Mr. Pokemon Master thought we were going by Pewter City and tried to look for Brock, so I bet him that we weren't even in the same region." He held up 5 Poke dollars. "And he was WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong."
"I swear we're in Kanto!" Ash exclaimed, getting off the floor. He sighed. "Why did you choose us to be in First Class, anyway?"
"Oh yeah!" Joey exclaimed, suddenly remembering something. "I want to make an alliance with you guys." There was a few seconds of silence before the other three replied, "Nah," and walked away.

"I don't get it! Why wouldn't someone want to be in an alliance with me?!"
Loser Class
Everyone but Zoey, Joey, Morgan, and Ash was sitting in First Class, waiting for Chris to announce that day's challenge. Phineas had been sitting on a bench, writing something down on a scrap piece of paper.

"At this rate, I'll be able to put my plan in to action by tomorrow! Then, I'll have my revenge!"
Loser Class
"Can you believe it?!" Melaney asked excitedly, sitting between Sonic and Tails.
"Believe what?" the two asked at the same time.
"There's only thirteen contestants left!" she exclaimed. "That means that we have—"
"A 30.769 percent chance of one of us winning," Tails finished, doing the math out in his head before she could even take out the calculator. He shrugged. "It looks like the odds are almost in our favor." He looked down at Angel, her head in his lap, still asleep.
"You do realize that the money is useless in our world, right Tails?" Sonic asked.
"And in mine," Melaney said.
"Probably wherever Angel is staying too," Tails said. "But that's what money converting transfer things are for." He looked back down at the light blue hedgehog. "Where do you think she stays when we're not with her, anyway?"
Melaney shrugged. "Maybe she goes to Arendelle. It's far away from Icirrus City and the Pokemon world all together, and it's not even one of the old Districts. The police wouldn't be able to find her there."
"But they'll be able to now," Sonic said. "We're on international television!"
Melaney shook her head. "They're not broadcasting in their world. The only ones who know are either contestants or guest stars, and the guests got paid tons of money to keep quiet about her."
"WHAT?!" Bianca yelled, rushing over to the three of them. "What do you mean they're not broadcasting in our world?! You mean I'm not going to be famous?!"
"Nope," Melaney replied.
"BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE THEME SONG ON THIS STUPID SHOW!" she yelled.
Angel was awake now. She groaned and sat up. "Do you freaking mind?! Trying to sleep here!" She laid back down and closed her eyes. "My God, some people…"
"Well excuse me," Bianca said, crossing her arms. She walked away when Chris burst in to the room.
"It's challenge time!"
Mt. Moon, Kanto
"Welcome to Mount Moon!" Chris announced. He and the contestants were standing on top of a mountain in Kanto, Pewter City visible to the west and Cerulean City visible to the east.
"I told you!" Ash exclaimed. Joey sighed and handed the Trainer ten dollars.
"Today's challenge is simple," Chris began. "Chef?"
Chef pressed a button on his remote, causing thirteen helicopters to fly in above them. Each one was lower a cage with a Pokemon in it, then placed the cage on the ground.
"Here's your challenge," Chris explained. "Mt. Moon is a tall mountain covered in rocks, Trainers, weird Pokemon, and annoying Zubat. You'll have to ride one of these Pokemon all the way down. Last one down goes home." The contestants gasped. Chris laughed. "That's right! No voting, no suspenseful cupcakes, nada. Any questions?" Five people raised their hands. "Great! Pick your Pokemon and get to the starting line."

"Back in Icirrus City, I used to ride the bigger Ice-type Pokemon around Twist Mountain. This challenge is in the bag!"
(Phineas)
"Mechanical bulls and Pokemon…only difference is that the machines are smarter."
Mt. Moon, Kanto
Angel approached one of the cages, a white polar bear-like Pokemon inside it. When it stood up on its hind legs, it seemed like it would be about eight and a half feet tall. "Hey Beartic," she whispered, scratching underneath its chin. "You seem like a good Pokemon. I understand your pain. No one appreciates you, do they?" The Beartic nodded. "They think you're not good enough to battle, that's why they stick you with all the NU Pokemon. They think us Ice-types have too many weaknesses." She smiled. "We'll show them, won't we?" The Beartic grunted in agreement. "Great," Angel said. She opened up the cage, letting the Pokemon out and carefully climbing on its back. "There we go," she said, patting its shoulder. It carried her to the starting line, content with its rider.
Sonic stared, his mouth hanging open. "What the heck was that?!"
"She really does understand Ice-types, doesn't she?" Zoey asked. She shrugged and walked over to the Gogoat in the next cage. "Um, hey little goat guy," she began nervously. Gogoat flared its nostrils. She sighed, then squatted to make eye contact with it. "Look, I know you don't like being in this cage. I'm trying to help you get out, okay? Just please, trust me. The Pokemon tried to ignore her, but failed. She unlocked the cage, allowing it to exit. It touched its horns to her forehead gently, then tossed her on to its back. "Yes!" Zoey cheered.
Bianca approached the cage with a Bouffalant next. She patted the Pokemon's head, opening up the cage. "Hey look Stephen, this one has an afro!" she giggled. Bouffalant snorted and butted her in to a tree. She quickly stood back up, fixing her hat. "No problem," she said, shaking the dust off. She lunged at the Pokemon, wrestling herself on to its back and desperately holding on. "I did it!" she shouted.
Morgan shrugged and walked up to a Sawsbuck in its Summer form. Its head and brown fur were shaded by the leaves growing on its antlers. "Hey, Pokemon," Morgan said, patting its neck. "You look just like my Patronus." She climbed on to its back.
Meowth unlocked the cage of a Rapidash, the unicorn's back covered in orange flames. "Okay, Rapidash," Meowth said, trying to reason with it. "I'm a Pokemon, you're a Pokemon, and if we work together, we can win this challenge! Whaddaya say?" It hopped on its back, only for it to retaliate and increase the heat of its fire. "YOWCH!" Meowth yelled, jumping off. "MY TAIL'S ON FIRE! MY TAIL'S ON FIRE! HELP!" Angel threw a large amount of snowballs at it, eventually putting out the flame. "Phew," Meowth said, wiping the sweat off its forehead. He walked back over to the other Pokemon. "I'll just hang on to your leg. Then we can win."
Amy gasped, walking over to the Girafarig in its cage. "It's so cute!" she exclaimed, petting the giraffe. "I want this one." She opened the cage and climbed on to its back, just barely avoiding the second set of teeth the Pokemon had on its tail.
Phineas rolled his eyes and opened an Ursaring's cage, swinging a rope around the bear's neck and pulling it down on all fours. He put an electric collar on it. "If you resist, I'll kill you," he said threateningly. The Pokemon growled, but followed.
Sonic approached the cage with a Zebstrika inside. "Hey Stripes," he said as he opened the cage for the electric zebra. "You seem pretty fast. Wanna be my partner?" Zebstrika nodded, tossing him on to its back.
Tails sighed and stood in front of a Tauros' cage. "Sorry I have to do this," he said, opening it with the key. "It must be humiliating for people to ride on your backs. I'll make it up to you somehow, okay?" The Tauros, who would usually be bullheadedly stubborn, nodded reluctantly.
Ash walked up to the cage with a Rhyhorn. "Well, I'm going to Kalos soon. Might as well learn how to ride you guys, right?" He swung the door open for it, then got on its back.
Melaney gasped, approaching the cage with a giant Stoutland in it. "It's a dog!" she exclaimed. "And it's adorable!" She opened it and got on its back. "Mush!" The Pokemon rolled its eyes and walked to the starting line.
"I want this one," Joey said, staring up at the Pokemon. It was a large mammoth, a thousand times his size. "Hey, Mamoswine!" he exclaimed, opening the cage. He was lucky that he wasn't stepped on and squashed. He grabbed its tail and hoisted himself on its back. "I'm gonna call you Manny the Moody Mammoth," he said. 'Manny' didn't seem to like this much, but it went along with it anyway.
"Where's my Pokemon?" Stephan asked.
Chris laughed. "Dude, look at the cage over there!"
Stephan turned and groaned. His Pokemon was a tiny one-foot-tall Deerling, its pink fur shining in the sun. The little fawn nibbled at the grass around it. He turned to Chris. "You seriously don't have anything better?"
"Not unless you want to go out and catch a Zubat and ride it down the mountain," Chris said with a laugh. Stephan sighed and mounted the tiny Pokemon, his feet still able to touch the ground. The Deerling playfully chucked him off with surprising strength.
Chris laughed again. "I love my job. Okay, everyone's at the starting line? First one down the mountain gets immunity and First Class, last one down goes home. GO!"
"Let's go, Beartic!" Angel yelled. The polar bear rushed down the hill, leaving an icy trail behind them. "Woo hoo!" she cheered. "This is ama—" suddenly, music that sounded like it was from games in the mid-90s began playing. "What the?"
A wild ZUBAT appeared!
"Oh no," Angel groaned, realizing what was happening.
Go! BEARTIC!
Beartic jumped in front of her, ready to battle. Angel considered her options, and chose to FIGHT.
Wild ZUBAT used SUPERSONIC!
BEARTIC is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion!
Beartic slapped itself across the face, disoriented by the attack.
"Dammit," Angel mumbled, then chose to FIGHT again.
Wild ZUBAT used LEECH LIFE! Wild ZUBAT's attack missed!
BEARTIC is confused! BEARTIC used ICE BEAM!
The move hit straight on, knocking the Zubat out cold.
Wild ZUBAT fainted! BEARTIC gained 5 EXP. Points! ANGEL got pissed because it wasn't worth it!

(Angel)
"And that, kids, is why we all can't stand Zubat."
Mt. Moon, Stephan and Bianca
Meanwhile, Bianca and Stephan were still trying to get their Pokemon to move past the starting line. "C'mon, Deerling!" Stephan begged, trying to get the little Pokemon to stop eating the grass. "We have to cross the finish line at some point!" It only flung him off again, then went back to grazing.
"Okay," Bianca said, climbing on to Bouffalant's back for the millionth time. "Let's go, Bouffalant!" she shouted. The Pokemon finally gave in in annoyance, then started walking down the mountain.
Mt. Moon, Meowth
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Meowth was clinging to the Rapidash's front leg as it ran down the mountain, jumping over multiple rocks and Pokemon. "SLOW DOWN!" Meowth yelled, but it wouldn't listen. The cat was soon flung in to a rock while the other Pokemon ran off. "Dang it…" He looked up to see multiple Zubat hovering over him. "CHRIIIIIIIIIS!"
Chris happened to hear this while sitting on top of the mountain, and laughed. "Best. Pokemon reaction. EVER."
Mt. Moon, Joey
Joey looked around, still sitting on the back of Mamoswine. They had entered a cave like area, surrounded by sleeping Zubat. "Whatever you do," he whispered, leaning down. "Don't make any noises or sudden movements."
Just as he finished, Chris appeared behind them on his go-cart, with a megaphone. "ATTENTION ALL CONTESTANTS NAMED JOEY," he shouted. "PLEASE REFRAIN FROM WHISPERING, AS IT IS BORING TO WATCH YOU WALK AROUND SLEEPING ZUBAT. THANK YOOOUUU!"
Joey covered his ears. "OW!" Any Zubat that had slept through Chris' shouting was awake now. They all swarmed Joey and Mamoswine, attacking them with Leech Life and Supersonic. Chris however, wore Max Repel and wasn't touched.
"THANK YOU, JOEY!" he shouted in to the megaphone before leaving.
Mt. Moon, Zoey, Ash, and Amy
"I still can't believe that Sonic would pick me over that stupid Yoshi," Amy groaned. Ash, Rhyhorn, Gogoat and Girafarig were sick of listening to her complain, but Zoey was using her almost never ending patience to listen.
"Maybe Sonic isn't ready for you," she offered. "He doesn't want to slow down for anyone, you know?"
"But he'd slow down for her!" Amy exclaimed. "What does she have that I don't?!"
"Sanity, Divergence, a boyfriend, the ability to knock people out cold, and an actual chance to win the million?" Ash said, rolling his eyes. He ducked just in time to avoid a blow from Amy's hammer. "Just being honest," he mumbled.
Zoey seemed thoughtful for a minute. "Maybe you're too aggressive?" she suggested. "I mean, I've never met someone who found getting a hammer swung at their head attractive. I think—"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M TOO AGGRESSIVE?!" she exploded. "I'm like the calmest person ever!"
Ash stopped Rhyhorn so abruptly that he almost flung himself off. "What do you mean 'what do you mean'?!" Ash exclaimed. "You're horrible aggressive! You're not even passive aggressive like Joey, you're just plain IN EVERYONE'S FACE!" he would've stopped the rant, but he had so many more things to say. "And furthermore, you're an ANNOYING STALKER! What if Meowth or something started following you around EVERYWHERE, wouldn't you get pissed off after a while?! I WOULD KNOW, TEAM ROCKET'S BEEN STALKING ME FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN YEARS!" Pikachu fell off his shoulder at this point. "AND THEN THERE'S THE FACT THAT HE'S ALL YOU EVER TALK ABOUT! My Arceus, can't you talk about someone else for a while?! Do you see Misty or Morgan or Gwen talking about their love lives all the time?! NO! Please, just SHUT UP!"
Amy glared at him, seething with anger. Zoey began whistling, awkwardly trying to get Gogoat to move out of the way. The pink hedgehog pulled out her hammer. "You…are…so DEAD!" She swung for Ash's head, but missed. "I'll show you annoying!"
"You mean there's more?!" Ash exclaimed, jumping off Rhyhorn. "Are you just a bottomless pit of annoyance?!" He avoided another blow, the wind from the hammer knocking his hat off.
"I'm just gonna go…" Zoey whispered. Gogoat backed away slowly, then broke in to a run while the two stayed behind and fought.
Mt. Moon, Melaney and Morgan
"I'm like, so. Frickin. Pissed," Melaney said, imitating a valley girl.
Morgan rolled her eyes. "Enough White Chicks. No one got the reference last episode, the moment's passed. She looked at her wand. "But first, lemme take a self—"
"NO!" Melaney exclaimed. "I hate that song. It's stupid."
"Your face is stupid," Morgan answered.
"At least you can tell where my face is," Melaney shot back. Stoutland and Sawsbuck groaned, annoyed with their bickering. They made eye contact, then both flung their riders off and ran off. "Wait!" Melaney yelled. "Nice job, Morgan!"
"Oh, go tell it to your boyfriend Sonic," she spat.
Melaney rolled her eyes. "He'll never be my boyfriend. That's like setting myself up to murdered by Amy." The two could hear her and Ash yelling further up the mountain.
"I see you point," Morgan admitted. "But what if Amy wasn't there? Would you go out with him then?"
She scoffed. "Yeah right. I'm already dating Voldemort, anyway."
"HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED!" Morgan yelled, covering her ears.
"It's not even the same person!" Melaney exclaimed.
Morgan shivered. "It's still the same name. What if you weren't dating…You-Know-Who? Would you go out with him then?"
"Would you leave me alone if I said yes?" she asked.
Morgan smirked. "You like him. You like him and Mudkipz."
Mt. Moon, Angel
"Almost there!" Angel yelled, clinging on to the back of Beartic. The Pokemon kept running, a swarm of Zubat close behind them. "Keep going!" She stood up shakily and turned her spear in to a gun, then began shooting down the Zubat with ice bullets. More came however, surrounding and attacking them. Beartic was badly poisoned by one of them and fell to the ground, unable to move. "Get away!" she screamed, turning the gun in to a bat and swinging it. The blast knocked most of the bat Pokemon out, but one of them managed to poison her as well before flying away.
"Dammit," she mumbled, clutching her arm. A Zubat had used Poison Fang on her. She leaned against Beartic's cold fur. "What are we going to do, Beartic?" she asked. She laughed. "As long as we don't move, we can't get hurt, right?" The Pokemon rolled its eyes. "Oh c'mon Beartic," she said. "Just because we're poisoned it doesn't mean we can't laugh. Chris will come and save us, anyway." Beartic seemed doubtful. She smile faded. "Or…he'll come and save me and leave you here." She sighed. "I was right. So many people don't care about Pokemon. They just want power or money…or ratings for their stupid show." She stood up, feeling effects of the poison immediately. "C'mon. We're going to get out of here and get you back to Unova." Beartic groaned and rose to its feet, walking alongside of her.
After a few minutes, the two began to tire out due to the poison draining their energy. Beartic nudged her, tossing the hedgehog on its back with its mouth. "Thanks, Beartic," Angel whispered.
"Angel! Angel!"
The two turned aound to see Olaf running toward them, his snowy body parts stacked in the wrong order. "Man…" he panted. "Am I out of shape…" He put himself back together, then looked up at Angel. "What're you doing out here?" he asked. "Shouldn't you be at the bottom of the mountain by now?"
"Olaf," she coughed. She was starting to lose feeling in her legs now. "Find Tails. He should have something that can help us find antidote in here."
"Why?" Olaf asked. Angel looked at him for a few seconds. He gasped. "Oh, I know why, you just told me! I'll go find him!" he ran off in search of him.
"Hurry, Olaf," she whispered, leaning further back in to Beartic's fur.
Mt. Moon, Tails and Sonic
"I think…Knuckles would make a terrible sidekick," Sonic said, looking around.
"Isn't it a bit early to be referencing all of this?" Tails asked. Sonic was about to ask him what he meant when Olaf ran in to them. "Olaf? What're you doing here?"
"Angel needs you!" he exclaimed. "She needs ants and the Pope or something!"
Sonic raised an eyebrow and looked at Tails. "Are you sure she's not crazy?"
"Antidote," Tails whispered to himself. "Go, Tauros, go!" he yelled. Tauros sped through the cave, Olaf hanging on to its tail. A few minutes later the two had finally reached the area where Angel and Beartic were. "Angel, I—" Tails began, but stopped. Phineas was approaching the two who were suffering from poison, a sword raised over his head.

(Phineas)
"Screw the plan, I can kill her right now in front of him."
Mt. Moon
"No!" Tails yelled. He tackled Phineas from behind, causing the sword to fly out of his hand. "Run, Angel!" he yelled, trying to wrestle Phineas to stall time for her.
"That's it!" Phineas yelled. He pulled out his ray gun and pointed it at the fox's face. "I'm sick of you getting in the way every single time! I'm going to kill you!" He was about to fire when Tauros Zen Headbutted him away from the two, knocking him out.
"Tails," Angel said hoarsely, falling to her knees. He quickly got up, pulling out a small spray bottle of antidote.
"Here, I have—"
"No," she said, shaking her head. "Give it to Beartic. It needs it, it was poisoned before me—"
Tails looked up to see Beartic lying on the ground in pain a few feet away. "Are you sure?" he asked. She only nodded. He sighed and got up, spraying Beartic's Poison Fang wound. The Pokemon stood up after a few minutes, its strength regained, and walked away. He quickly turned back to Angel. She was on the brink of losing consciousness, trying to fight the poison inside. "You're gonna be fine," he said, spraying the wound on her arm.
A few minutes later, she was able to stand up again. "Thank you, Tails," she said, hugging him. "I love you." She let go after a few seconds. "Let's go down the mountain, okay?" He nodded, helping her on to Tauros' back.
"So why do you think Beartic left?" he asked. They were finally out of the cave, the amount of trees and rocks steadily decreasing.
Angel shrugged. "Most Ice-types tend to wander around and avoid giving straight answers."
"That last part is definitely right," Tails mumbled.
Angel gasped behind him. "Look! We made it down the mountain!" Tails looked up to see Pewter City ahead of them, Chris standing next to the finish line.
"And Angel and Tails win the challenge!" Chris yelled. Multiple yells of other contestants came from various places on the mountain.
"OUT OF THE WAY OUT OF THE WAY OUT OF THE WAY!" Bianca yelled. Bouffalant came rushing down the mountain, bucking her off right before the finish line. "Did I win?" she asked.
"Nope," Chris said with a smile. "In fact, you're the one who's going home."
"WHAT?!" Stephan's voice came from atop the mountain. A few seconds later he had reached the bottom, panting. "What do you mean she's going home?!"
"Well," Chris began. "Considering the fact that everyone else didn't past the finish line with a Pokemon or didn't finish at all, Bianca's the last one to cross the finish line. So little Miss Blondie is off the show."
Stephan sunk to his knees. "NOOOOOOO!" he screamed to the heavens. He stood up and took Bianca's hands. "I'll win this for the both of us." He suddenly kissed her, prompting Chris to make hacking noises.
"Ew," Chris whined. "Just…go to the Elimination Room. Bianca's going home."
Elimination Room
"Contestants," Chris began. "I was going to give you guys cupcakes but somebody—" he glared at Chef, "ate all of the ingredients!" He shrugged. "Bianca, any last words?"
"Actually," Bianca began, but Chef had already thrown her off the train.
Chris turned to the camera. "That's another one gone and we're down to the final dozen. Who will win next? How much drama can we stir up? Will Phineas just do his dang plan already? Find out next time on Total…Drama…Universe!"
Episode 29's done! Yay! I told you I'd be updating more often. At this pace, I'll probably be done before August. By the way, there's another live Total Drama/Sonic crossover named "Total Sonicverse Island" by firespirit2000. Angel's one of the competitors in it, so be sure to go check it out and go root for her! Oh, and you might've noticed that Chris said that we're down to the final dozen. Don't worry, I'm writing a sequel, but only a few know what it's really about :3 Jeez, Hoenn confirmed. Metal Sonic confirmed. IcyAngels confirmed. What's next, New Super Mario Bros. 3 confirmed? Uh, no thanks. Anyway, Q of the Week: Who do you want voted off next OTHER THAN PHINEAS? And why? Again, NOT PHINEAS. Answer in the reviews! See you later!
