(AN) Hey guys, there's something I need to tell you all. If you have noticed, my writing has been improved. But that's only because I'd gained a new Beta-Reader called Bad-Asp. He was the one who's helping me with my writing, and I can't thank him enough for taking his time to read through the chapter and spotting any grammar errors. THANK YOU BAD-ASP! He's currently writing a story called Total Drama Alpharama. It's really good.
Also, I've watched the first episode of Total Drama: All-Stars. It's good but I'm not going to get my hopes too high though.
(Disclaimers) I do not own Total Drama Series or Pokémon. Also, the alphabet theme is NOT my idea. It's originally created by Frank15, so give him credit for that.

"And we're back!" Azelf declared. "If you just joined us, you should know that we started off the challenge called Type-o-tron with Yanmega managed to score a point for his team, while Ninjask has failed to do so."
"What are you talking about," Octillery questioned, confused. "We didn't go anywhere."
"He was talking to the TV audience, Octillery." Gothitelle recalled.
"Oh,"
"Anywho, we need to find out who's the next person to compete in the challenge." Uxie declared. "Since members from Unique Uxie and Mysterious Mesprit just competed, the next person has to be someone from the Awesome Azelf."
"Just so you know, some types challenge will have a duo competing, while the other will only have one person participating in it." Mesprit recalled.
"Speaking of which, let's find out who will go next." Azelf said before he spun the Types Wheel, which has landed on Fire. "And the next type is Fire!"
"Leavanny and Klinklang are the only members of the Awesome Azelf to be weakened against the Fire type; however, only one of you can participate in it. So we'll let the Contestants' Wheel determine your fate." Uxie explained before he started spinning the wheel. Leavanny is worried as she doesn't want to participate in any challenge involving fire, while Klinklang remained silent, staring at the spinning wheel. The Contestants' Wheel came to a stop and it has landed on Klinklang. "Klinklang, you're next."
"Alright Klinklang, you now have to choose either Virtual, which would make you go through the maze of fire to get to the other side," Mesprit explained. "Or, battle against Arcanine. What is it gonna be?"
Klinklang started making machine-like beeping as he stared at the Virtual Reality Building and then turned around to face Arcanine, who seemed to be creeped out by his staring.
"Any time now, Klinklang." Azelf said, impatient.
"BZZT, AFTER ANALYSING THE ODDS OF WINNING POINTS FOR THE AWESOME AZELF, I DECIDED TO CHALLENGE THE MAZE OF FIRE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ODDS OF DEFEATING ARCANINE IS TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT, BZZT."
"Alright, you and your team should follow me to the building." Azelf said before he and the Awesome Azelf went inside the Virtual Reality Building. "Klinklang, just sit on one of the chairs over there and then put the helmet on."
"Hold on, are you sure it's safe?" Marowak asked, concerned for Klinklang's safety. "What if Klinklang get hurt in the virtual world?"
"Relax, Marowak," Azelf assured. "When Klinklang went inside the virtual world, he won't experience any real pain at all. However, he can lose feeling of his body as he experiences what could be 'painful' in the virtual world."
"Oh, thank goodness." Leavanny and Azumarill murmured, relieved of not having experienced any pain at all.
"Klinklang, stop scanning the chairs and sit your robot butt ON the chair!" Azelf shouted as Klinklang is indeed scanning the chairs. But Klinklang then stopped scanning and sat on the chair with the helmet being placed on his head.
"How the hell did he have his helmet on?" Druddigon asked.
"The helmet was designed to change into any shape, so that anybody can wear it." Azelf replied.
"Wow-you-guys-really-went-all-out-for-this!" Rapidash said, impressed.
"People, the virtual reality is on." Xatu said as the monitor is on and she and her team can see Klinklang is floating still in front of the maze of fire.
"Do you think he's afraid to do this?" Ursaring asked.
"I seriously doubt it, since he's a robot and he doesn't show emotion." Druddigon scoffed.
"Druddigon, that's not entirely true because Klinklang had been confirmed to be half-Pokémon, half-robot, but mostly the robot part." Leavanny stated.
Klinklang has suddenly started moving through the maze of fire with such speed due to being equipped to move faster. He has moved left and right and it seems that he knows exactly where to go. His teammates are surprised as they're watching him.
"Wow, its look like the fire hasn't even touched him!" Marowak gasped.
Klinklang kept flying through the maze and then sprinted to pass through the wall of fire and successfully made it to the other side, completing the challenge.
"And Klinklang just won the first point for the Awesome Azelf!" Azelf smiled.
The Awesome Azelf except for Xatu, of course, cheered as Klinklang removed the helmet and then continued scanning the building.
"Klinklang, quit it with the scanning, and come with me so we can get back with the others!" Azelf said, annoyed.
Klinklang stopped scanning and then followed Azelf out of the building with his teammates exchanging looks.
Confessional: Steel of Robot plus Maze of Fire equal Unknown!
Druddigon: (Narrowing his eyes with his arms and his back is leaning against the wall) Look like I got some serious competition.
Azumarill: (Nervous) Right now, I-I'm afraid of that robot…
Klinklang: BZZT, THE VIRTUAL REALITY BUILDING CONTAINS VERY VALUABLE EQUIPMENT, SO I MUST ACHIEVE IT FOR MY MASTER, BZZT."
Azelf and the Awesome Azelf went back with the others, who were surprised at Klinklang's performance in the virtual world.
"Okay, I'll reveal the next types." Uxie stated before he spun the wheel, which landed on Ground. He picked up the card and explained to the contestants. "Ah yes, the Ground type, can I have Jolteon and Zebstrika step forward please?"
Jolteon and Zebstrika stepped forward as they understood why.
"Now, Ground type is the only type an Electric type was weak against, so therefore, you two are automatically participating in the Ground-like challenge." Uxie explained before placing his hand on the Contestants' Wheel. "Right now, we need to find out who gets to be the first picked. So here we go."
Uxie started spinning the Contestants' Wheel. Jolteon and Zebstrika are hoping to get picked first.
Confessional: Electric Wheel!
Jolteon: I have to get the first picked so I can participate in the virtual challenge. I won't be able to defeat whatever Ground type Pokémon I would've faced.
Zebstrika: I want to win those two points for my team, but I know I can't defeat whatever Ground type Pokémon, so I'm hoping for the virtual.
Eventually, the Contestants' Wheel has stopped and landed on Jolteon.
"Jolteon, you get first choice of either battling Sandslash," Mesprit explained. "Or, choose virtual, where you have to stay on the shaky platform for two minutes."
"I pick Virtual!" Jolteon said, pleased.
"Okay Jolteon, we just need to wait for Zebstrika's match with Sandslash to be over." Mesprit said.
"Have-fun-Zebstrika!" Rapidash sneered.
Zebstrika growled as he's ready to battle against Sandslash.
"Alright, let the match begin!" Azelf smiled.
Zebstrika started running toward Sandslash with flares appearing around his body as he's using Flame Charge and quickly hit Sandslash. This has made Zebstrika's Speed stat increase; however, his Flame Charge has hardly made any damage to Sandslash, who used Dig to go underground. "Hey, where did you go?!"
"Yeah, Zebstrika is screwed." Purugly said.
"I agree." Qwilfish nodded.
Zebstrika kept glancing around the ground until he heard it rumbling, so he moved out of the way to avoid the attack, however, Sandslash is smart enough to pull off a fake to actually move to the exact spot where Zebstrika is standing right now, and hit him directly to the body after coming out of the ground.
"ARGH!" Zebstrika screamed in pain as he hit the ground and then stood up a bit slowly to face Sandslash, who is ten feet from him.
Zebstrika quickly ran toward Sandslash, who tried to dodge but too late due to Zebstrika's speed, and stomped him with his hooves, thanks to his move; Stomp.
"C'mon-Sandslash-take-him-down!" Rapidash shouted.
"Hey, whose side are you on?!" Zebstrika scowled.
"The-one-that-respects-the-women!" Rapidash snapped.
"Zebstrika, look out!" Chandelure shouted.
Zebstrika looked down to see Sandslash is no longer on the ground. Instead; he's standing twenty feet in front of him and used Sand Tomb on Zebstrika, who is now surrounded by mini sand tornados.
"Aw fuck!" Zebstrika cursed as he's trying to escape from it. But by the time it looks like he's about to escape it, it was too late as Sandslash suddenly flew in, and used Slash to strike him right in the face and knocked him to the ground.
The sand tornado has disappeared and the others can see Zebstrika is lying on the ground in pain.
"Argh…" Zebstrika groaned in pain.
"Well, Zebstrika has failed to defeat Sandslash and gains no point for his team." Uxie stated.
The Unique Uxie weren't happy, while the women, except for Azumarill and Xatu, smiled at seeing Zebstrika get his comeuppance for being sexist to them.
"Hey, Zebstrika, did you have fun?" Octillery smirked.
"Ugh, fuck you…" Zebstrika grumbled as he's slowly standing up.
"No thank you, I don't want to get screwed by a sexist." Whimsicott smiled.
"That's revolting, Whimsicott." Espeon said, disgusted.
"Alright, enough with the sexual innuendo," Mesprit smirked in amusement. "Anyone who is the member of Mysterious Mesprit, let's go back to the building."
Mysterious Mesprit went back inside the building and Jolteon then sat on one of the chairs, while holding the helmet in his paws.
"Remember, Jolteon, all you have to do is to stay on the shaky platform for two minutes." Mesprit recalled.
"Got it," Jolteon nodded before placing the helmet onto his head and then appeared on the flat ground-like platform suspended fifty feet in the air. He awaited anything unexpected, and the platform started shaking a bit. He managed to stand stationary until the platform started shaking even harder, making Jolteon lose balance and attempted to cling on the shaking platform.
His team watched him on the monitor while the challenge is happening.
"He's doing a pretty good job so far." Gothitelle said.
"Yeah, but he's still got a minute left." Infernape said, crossing his arms.
Jolteon is now having a harder time to cling on as the shaking platform is flying him back and forth, until he flew over the edge but managed to cling onto it barely.
"C'mon, Jolteon, just a little longer!" Jolteon said, grinding his teeth as he's clinging on to the now-very-hard-shaking-platform for a few seconds before losing his grip and pummeling down toward the ground below him. He screamed until he came back to the real world with Mesprit and his team in front of him.
"Jolteon, sorry to tell you this; but you lost the challenge, so therefore; no point for your team." Mesprit apologized.
"Aw dammit," Jolteon muttered as he got off the chair and took off his helmet after experiencing a five-second numbness.
"Hey, you tried your best." Whimsicott said, placing a hand on Jolteon's shoulders. "Besides; we still got six of us left to compete."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Jolteon shrugged. "I just don't wanna lose, that's all."
"Okay, if you're finished talking, we can go back with the others." Mesprit said before she and the Mysterious Mesprit walked out of the building to re-join with the others.
"Alright, it's now time for a solo member of the Awesome Azelf to compete next." Azelf declared before spinning the Types Wheel, which has landed on Water. He picked up the card and then explained to the contestants. "It's Water. The only members of the Awesome Azelf to be weakened against Water type are Marowak and Rapidash. However, Marowak has other types it's weak against, and since the Ground type had just been used, Rapidash must be the one to participate in the Water challenge."
After Azelf has finished explaining, he and the others have noticed that Rapidash's face is pale, while sweating and visibly shaken.
"Rapidash, are you okay?" Furret asked.
"Y-yeah-I'm-f-fine!" Rapidash gulped. "Let's-g-get-on-with-it!"
"Erm, okay…" Azelf said, raising a brow at Rapidash. "Well, you got two choices now. If you choose Virtual; you'll have to swim across a fifty metr-"
"I-CHOOSE-TO-BATTLE-A-POKEMON!" Rapidash exclaimed in panic, much to her teammates' surprise.
"Rapidash, are you crazy?" Druddigon hissed. "You'll never be able to defeat a water type Pokémon unless you got a move that could somehow knock them out!"
"I-don't-care!" Rapidash shouted. "I'm-not-going-to-swim-or-anything-and-that's-that !"
"Rapidash, do you have a fear of water?" Chandelure asked. "It's perfectly fine, since it's a common fear for a fire type Pokémon. Like you, I also have a fear of water."
"It's-doesn't-matter-I-just-want-this-challenge-to -be-over-with!" Rapidash said.
"Okay, Rapidash, all you have to do is to defeat Milotic and then you'll earn two points for your team." Azelf explained.
"Okay." Rapidash nodded, getting calmer now as she moved over until she's standing twenty feet from Milotic.
Confessional: Not the type of horse to withstand water.
Chandelure: I understand she has a fear of water. But the way she reacted to it was more than that. I have a good feeling that she may have experienced a traumatic event in the past.
Rapidash: (Ashamed) I-am-not-proud-about-the-way-I-reacted-earlier. But-after-that-day-I-never-want-to-be-involved-wit h-anything-with-water-again. I-just-can't.
Sableye: (Writing something on her notebook, while smiling) Looks like I've got another investigation to scoop because I've just heard Rapidash admit that she's not proud about her reaction of the virtual water challenge. Also, with the way she had confessed, it sounded like a traumatic event had happened in the past. Oh, I can't wait to uncover what it is!
"Let the battle begin!" Mesprit declared.
Rapidash used Bounce to jump thirty feet in the air and narrowly avoided Milotic's Aqua Tail. She then flew back down and drove her hooves directly at Milotic's chest. Milotic moved back a few feet but then she's suddenly paralyzed.
"Hey, Rapidash has managed to paralyze Milotic, she can still win this!" Marowak smiled.
"BZZT, ACTUALLY, I ANALYSE THE POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF THE BATTLE, AND THE ODDS OF RAPIDASH'S DEFEATING MILOTIC IS THIRTY-FOUR PERCENT, BZZT." Klinklang stated.
"Oh, but she can still do this!" Marowak said.
Rapidash used Bounce again to jump in the air, and because Milotic has been paralyzed, she's unable to use any of her movements for now, which gives Rapidash a chance to hit her with her hooves again.
Suddenly, right after Rapidash hit her, Milotic swung her body upward so Rapidash would be sent into the air again, screaming. Milotic then shot out Hydro Pump and hit Rapidash directly and slammed her to the ground with her tail. A moment later; Rapidash was trying to stand back up but she's unable to do so.
"Rapidash has failed to earn points for her team." Azelf declared.
"Oh…" Rapidash groaned in pain as Ursaring and Druddigon helped her to get on her feet and then walked back with the rest of her team.
"Told you so." Druddigon said.
Rapidash has ignored him until Zebstrika has moved in next to her.
"Well, well, well, you still think women can handle this just as well as us men?" Zebstrika smirked.
"Shut-up-Zebstrika." Rapidash muttered, glaring.
"C'mon, you're denying the fact that maybe now you'll-" Zebstrika said before his whole body is suddenly covered in purple-like aura and being lifted in the air by ten feet. "What the-?!"
It's revealed to be Espeon as the one who is levitating Zebstrika. She then threw him about twenty feet from the cast, which made Zebstrika scream and then get knocked out unconscious when he hit the ground.
"You're welcome." Espeon said.
"Thank-you." Rapidash nodded.
"We ALL thank you for that, Espeon." Qwilfish smiled as the rest of the ladies nodded in agreement.
"Okay, enough with the drama with Zebstrika and let's continue the challenge." Mesprit declared before spinning the Types Wheel, which has landed on Steel. "Ah, Steel… it has been known to be one of the toughest types there is. The only contestant who is truly weak against the Steel type is none other than our Mr. Very Nice Guy; Vanilluxe."
"Aw, thanks for the compliment!" Vanilluxe smiled as he moved next to the hosts.
"Alright Vanilluxe, you can choose either Virtual, where you have to sit inside a very small room entirely made out of steel," Mesprit explained. "Or, you can battle a Pokémon named Mawile."
"Hmm… it's a tough choice, but I would like to do a virtual challenge, please." Vanilluxe replied.
"Very well, let's go inside the building, shall we?" Uxie said before he and the Unique Uxie except for Zebstrika went inside the building and then Vanilluxe walked over to one of the chairs.
"Ooh, this is going to be fun!" Vanilluxe smiled as he sat down on the chair and then placed the helmet onto his head. "Okay, I'm ready!"
The monitor then turned on, which showed Vanilluxe inside a very small room as it's only about the same length of an average human teenager's arms touching the wall, same with the ceiling. Also, the room is made entirely out of steel.
"I definitely do not want to be in that room…" Qwilfish murmured.
"Claustrophobia?" Espeon questioned.
"A bit." Qwilfish replied.
Vanilluxe waited for a few seconds until a loud grinding noise is heard before the steel room is suddenly becoming smaller.
"Oh, wow! The room is getting smaller now, huh?" Vanilluxe gasped, still smiling until the room has become smaller again, and now the whole room is one feet away from contacting his body. "But as long as I keep thinking about nice things, like my family, I'll be fine."
Vanilluxe closed his eyes and smiled as the steel room has now touched him, making it unable for him to move anymore. His teammates are surprised to see how calm Vanilluxe is during a drastic situation.
"Whoa, it is impossible for that guy to be pissed off!" Ninjask asked.
"I don't know but I'm very pleased to have a man like him." Espeon smiled. "We should have everybody in the Arceus' world to be like him."
"I agree," Chandelure nodded. "But sadly, it cannot be since the whole world is filled with one half yin, the other yang."
"You're talking about Reshiram and Zekrom." Espeon said. "While you are right, the only God I would listen to is Arceus himself. And if we keep working for him, there will be good fortune for all the good people like us."
"Yeah… like us…" Chandelure trailed.
Confessional: Why do people sometime end their talk with this…?
Chandelure: Espeon seems to be a wonderful person, but I don't think I can be friends with her. Let's just say... I have something that she would disapprove.
Espeon: First of all; I would like to confess that I do not approve with the so-called "Virtual Reality". I feel that it's disrupting Arceus's clean work. However, if that's the type of future what Arceus wants for us, so be it. (Smile) Also, I like Chandelure. He is a smart man, and I have a feeling we're going to be good friends. (Her face changes to a scowl) Unlike a certain grass hairdresser…
"Congratulations, Vanilluxe!" Uxie smiled. "You just earned your first point for your team, and managed to tie up the score with Mysterious Mesprit and the Awesome Azelf!"
The Unique Uxie cheered as Vanilluxe smiled as he gets off the chair and then experienced five-second numbness.
"Wow, Vanilluxe, that was amazing!" Tangrowth smiled, clearly impressed. "How did you do that?"
"I just closed my eyes and thought about my family." Vanilluxe smiled. "Plus, it's a lot easier without having to experience real pain in the virtual world."
"It sure is." Uxie nodded before he and the Unique Uxie re-joined the others with Zebstrika still unconscious.
"Y'know, I just realized something," Mesprit recalled. "So far, six guys and one lady had participated in the challenge, so I think the next person should be a female."
"Fair enough," Azelf shrugged before spinning the Types Wheel, which has landed on Electric. "Our next type is Electric, and it's a solo! The following contestants allowed to compete-and it's ironic because all of them are female-are Azumarill, Octillery and Xatu. Qwilfish, you will not be participating because Vanilluxe had competed in this round. So, let's find out which lady will be competing in the Electric challenge!"
Azelf has started spinning the Contestants' Wheel, which has landed on Xatu. Xatu then stepped in front of the hosts.
"Xatu, you can choose either virtual, where you have to avoid being struck by lightning," Uxie explained. "Or, you can battle against Eelektross."
"I would like to participate in the virtual challenge please." Xatu replied.
"Alright then, let's go back to the building." Azelf declared before he and the Awesome Azelf went back inside the building and then Xatu sat on one of the chairs and placed the helmet on. A moment later, the monitor has shown Xatu's flying in the air with a sky filled with thunder clouds. Suddenly, the lightning struck toward Xatu, until she moved left and narrowly avoided the lightning strike.
More lightning strikes have appeared and then she somehow managed to avoid every single one of them. As her teammates are watching her, they're not surprised as they were with Klinklang's challenge.
"Somehow, I'm not surprised with Xatu doing that." Druddigon admitted.
"That's because she's a Psychic type, of course she could've seen it coming!" Leavanny said, crossing her arms.
"But on the bright side; that'll be beneficial for us for the upcoming challenge." Ursaring said.
Xatu has kept dodging the lightning strikes in a calm mood until she is sent back to the real world.
"Nice job, Xatu!" Azelf smiled. "Your victory just put your team in the lead!"
"That's good." Xatu nodded as she stared into Azelf's eyes before she started walking. While she's leaving the building, Azelf faced the rest of the Awesome Azelf with a frightened expression showing.
"Okay, who else is creeped out by her?" Azelf whispered.
The Awesome Azelf except for Klinklang immediately raised their hand.
"I can hear you, you know." Xatu stated as she turned her head to face the others before walking out of the building and re-joining the others.
"Okay, next round." Mesprit stated before she spun the Types Wheel, which has landed on Grass. "It's Grass and this time; it's a double! The only players who are candidates for this challenge are Azumarill and Marowak from the Awesome Azelf, and Octillery from the Mysterious Mesprit, who will be competing in the Grass challenge."
"Do I have to?" Octillery complained.
"Yes, you do, Octillery," Uxie said, sternly. "Now, either Marowak or Azumarill will be participating in the Grass challenge then after that, we need to find out who will get the first pick."
Uxie then started spinning the Contestants' Wheel with Marowak and Azumarill, who is nervous, stared at the spinning wheel, until it had landed on Azumarill.
"Alright, Azumarill, you're also competing in the Grass challenge." Uxie declared.
"Erm… okay…" Azumarill gulped as she slowly stepped forward and stood next to Octillery. Uxie then spun the Contestants' Wheel again and this time; it's landed on Octillery.
"Octillery, you must choose either virtual, where you have to move across a large field until you get to the other side, but also avoid being captured," Azelf explained. "Or, you can battle against Serperior."
"Err… I don't know, having to move across the field sounds like a lot of work," Octillery drawled. "But so does battling Serperior. So… I decide to do the virtual; it's less painful for me."
"Okay then, Azumarill, get ready to battle Serperior." Mesprit said.
"I, I d-don't know if…" Azumarill stuttered as she is ten feet in front of Serperior. She then turned to see her husband is cheering her on.
"C'mon, Azumarill, you can do this!" Ursaring cheered.
"O, Okay…" Azumarill nodded nervously before glancing at Serperior, who is glaring directly into her eyes.
This has brought back her memories of Ursaring's murderous glare directly into her eyes.
"You're WEAK!" Ursaring growled before raising a fist, and swung it down toward her…
"AHHH!" Azumarill screamed in horror before lying on the ground and wrapping her arms over her head. "Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me…!"
Ursaring ran over to his scared wife and hugged her in comfort.
"There, there, babe," Ursaring whispered. "It's alright; you don't have to battle Serperior."
"Well, with Azumarill refusing to battle, she received no point for her team." Azelf declared.
Druddigon and Rapidash frowned as Ursaring walked back to his team, along with a frightened Azumarill.
"Is she okay?" Marowak asked, concerned about Azumarill.
"She'll be fine; she never liked battling in the first place." Ursaring murmured.
"BZZT, RIGHT NOW, AZUMARILL HAS DECREASED OUR CHANCE OF PLACING FIRST BY EIGHT PERCENT, BZZT." Klinklang stated.
"Oh, shut up." Ursaring hissed.
"Okay, Octillery, let's go." Mesprit said.
"Fine." Octillery sighed as she and her team went back to the building and then she sat on the chair and put the helmet on. She then appeared in the virtual world where the whole area is a field with a couple of trees in the distance. Also, she can see a long pole with a pink flag at the top. "Okay, I guess that's where I need to go."
Octillery is moving slowly as she's walking across the field. After walking a quarter of the field, the grass is slowly becoming longer. However, Octillery did not notice it until the grass is now almost the same size as her.
"Oh crap," Octillery muttered before she started moving quicker as the grass keeps rising up to the point where she can't see the flag anymore. She doesn't know where the flag is now but she keeps moving the same direction, and then suddenly, a vine appeared from the long grasses and wrapped around her one of her tentacles in the back. "Ah! What the fuck?"
This has caused Octillery to have a harder time to keep moving through the field as more and more vines appeared and wrapped around her to the point she cannot move anymore. Octillery screamed as the vines begin to wrap around her face and then she's suddenly back in the real world.
"Octillery, that's not a very good performance, since you've just barely reached the halfway mark on the field." Mesprit frowned.
"Hey, at least I tried, unlike that coward rabbit who didn't even lay a finger on that Serperior." Octillery argued after experiencing five-second numbness when she got off the chair.
"Whatever, let's just go back to the others." Mesprit said before she started floating toward the exit with everyone else following her. While they're leaving the building, Gothitelle walked next beside Octillery.
"Octillery, why are you not even trying to score a point for us?" Gothitelle asked.
"Because it's too much work for me," Octillery replied. "And I don't do work, or running."
"You were running with Whimsicott last night." Gothitelle recalled.
"That's because I don't wanna have Bastiorella ram into me and then run me over like he did with Sableye." Octillery said.
"Yeah, don't remind me." Sableye muttered, who was walking behind the two women before glaring at Bastiodon, who is walking next to Mesprit.
"How long you were listening to us?" Gothitelle asked, raising a brow at her.
"Since you guys started talking." Sableye replied before she and her team are back with the others. Uxie spins the Types Wheel, and it has landed on Psychic.
"Ooo, Psychic, my favourite type." Uxie smiled.
"That's because you're a Psychic type, genius." Druddigon remarked.
"Now, since it's a solo, and both Grass and Ground challenge were finished," Uxie explained, ignoring Druddigon. "Qwilfish must compete in the Psychic challenge."
"I'm ready for whatever challenge you got for me." Qwilfish smirked in determination as she hopped forward.
"That's the spirit, Qwilfish!" Azelf smiled. "Now you must choose either Virtual, where you have to complete a mini puzzle, or battle against Hypno."
"Hmm…" Qwilfish murmured as she thought about her choice for a moment until she showed a smirk. "I choose to battle Hypno!"
"Qwilfish, are you sure that's a good idea?" Purugly asked, surprised about Qwilfish's decision.
"Trust me; I know what I'm doing." Qwilfish said before she hopped over to Hypno until she's fifteen feet away from him.
Confessional: Small vs. Big equal Unknown!
Qwilfish: I'm battling Hypno because I need to give my team a lead. But that's not the only reason. As I looked around the cast, I realized I'm the smallest contestant on this show, although Sableye is the same size as me, but the point is; I didn't do a good job at the challenge yesterday, and I want to show the others that you can overcome any obstacles no matter what size you are. I hope I can beat Hypno.
"Ugh… my head…" Zebstrika groaned in pain until he has noticed Qwilfish is about to battle Hypno. "What's she doing?"
"She's about to battle against Hypno." Tangrowth replied.
"I don't see why she's trying; she's just going to-" Zebstrika said before Tangrowth pressed his hand to his snout.
"Just shut up." Tangrowth muttered, much to Zebstrika's annoyance.
"Okay, Qwilfish, the battle may now begin!" Mesprit declared.
Qwilfish suddenly hopped up in the air and then started shooting Pin Missiles at Hypno. It's super effective due to being a Bug type move. However, Hypno is still standing as he's using Psychic and threw her to the ground.
"Argh!" Qwilfish shouted in pain after being thrown to the ground; however, she's narrowing her eyes as she faced Hypno again and used Brine. The large water has hit Hypno and has him flying backward a few feet before hitting the ground. When Hypno is not moving, Uxie moved over to him to see how he is. After examining him for a few seconds, Uxie looks at Qwilfish and smiled.
"Hypno has fainted, so Qwilfish is the first person to score two points for the Unique Uxie, and gives them the lead!" Uxie declared, smiling.
Unique Uxie except for Zebstrika, cheered as Tangrowth carefully picked Qwilfish up to make sure he did not get stung.
"I don't get it, how the hell did you manage to take out Hypno?" Zebstrika asked in confused.
"I think I can answer that question." Chandelure explained. "Firstly, Qwilfish was using Pin Missile, which is a Bug type, so she has an advantage. Secondly, when Hypno's HP is most likely to be half, Qwilfish's Brine has been doubled, and that's when she'd successfully defeat Hypno."
"But, but, this doesn't make any sense!" Zebstrika stammered. "You're a woman! You couldn't be able to win a Pokémon battle like that!"
"Well, Zebstrika." Qwilfish smirked as she put on her sunglasses. "NEVER underestimate the women."
"YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed an unknown invisible rock lead singer.
The Awesome Azelf except for Xatu and the Mysterious Mesprit except for Jolteon are taken aback and then look around bewildered.
"Where is that scream coming from?!" Leavanny asked as she looked around bewildered.
"Oh, that's the 'scream' Ninjask, Furret, Zebstrika and Qwilfish were talking about!" Tangrowth said.
"The 'scream'?" Yanmega asked, raising a brow.
"Apparently, every time Qwilfish put on her sunglasses and says a one-liner, the 'scream' would be heard." Purugly replied.
"It's true, I first heard that when I was looking for a Pokéball with Qwilfish on the first day." Jolteon nodded.
"That's so cool, can I try it?" Whimsicott asked, smiling.
"Don't bother; I asked that exact same question, and she said no." Ninjask sighed.
"You got that right." Qwilfish nodded as she put her sunglasses away.
Confessional: Nobody knows the answer! YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!
Leavanny: (Showing a WTF expression) Seriously, how is that possible? You can't put on some random sunglasses and say a one-liner and then have some rocker screaming out of nowhere! It's just not possible!
Whimsicott: (Smile) Man, the way Qwilfish did that with her sunglasses and all, was awesome! I wish I can do that. Maybe I could if Qwilfish ever decided to teach me.
Sableye: (Grinning while writing down something on her notebook) Oh this is gold! I must find out how Qwilfish did that!
Klinklang: (Couple of machine-like beeping is head) BZZT, SCANNING FOR THE WHEREABOUTS OF 'THE SCREAM' IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN. BUT I WILL FIND THE SCOURCE FOR MY MASTER, BZZT.
Infernape: Why do I have a feeling that I heard this 'scream' before?
"Okay, enough with the 'scream' now and let's continue the challenge." Azelf explained. "Now, we're officially halfway through the challenge with the Unique Uxie in the lead with three points, second for the Awesome Azelf with two, while the Mysterious Mesprit is last with just measly one point."
"The next person has to be a member of the Mysterious Mesprit to compete next." Mesprit explained before spinning the Types Wheel that has landed on Bug. "It's Bug and it's a solo. The only members of the Mysterious Mesprit are weak against Bug are Whimsicott and Gothitelle."
Uxie spins the Contestants' Wheel and it has landed on Gothitelle.
"Gothitelle, if you choose Virtual, your challenge is to climb to the top of the spider web and press the red button," Uxie explained. "Or, you could battle against Accelgor."
"I think I stand a better chance of winning the virtual challenge, so I pick that." Gothitelle replied.
"Okay, Gothitelle, follow me then." Mesprit said before moving back to the building with the Mysterious Mesprit's following her. Once they went inside; Gothitelle sat down on one of the chairs and put on the helmet.
Gothitelle waited for a moment and then she appeared in the virtual world. She looked around her surroundings and sees that she's in the jungle with plants everywhere with a waterfall in the background. However, the one thing that has made Gothitelle notice the most is a large spider web between two large trees in front of her. The web is fifty feet high and she can see a small grey box with a red button on it.
"So that's the button I need to reach." Gothitelle murmured before she ran over to the web and started climbing it. As she's climbing more than a quarter of the web, she noticed that web is partly sticky. "Ew…"
"Curse my dress," Gothitelle muttered when she missed a footing while climbing the web. Her dress is making it harder for her; however, she has gotten the hang of it. When she's more than halfway through the web, there's suddenly shaking which has made Gothitelle to lose her footing again and only managed to stay up by her hands. She looked down to see what caused all that shaking and it's revealed to be a group of twenty Pokémon; Spinarak, Ariados, Joltik and Galvantula are climbing toward her.
"Oh, no!" Gothitelle gasped, eyes widening before started climbing the web again but frantically faster this time. The wild Bug Pokémon is quickly climbing frantically toward the Gothitelle, who is more than three quarters until reaching the top. She's about fifteen feet pressing the button until she stopped moving as two Galvantula are grabbing hold of her legs. "Hey, get off!"
She used Psychic to knock down both Galvantula, who has hit another two Galvantula below them while they were falling toward the ground. Gothitelle continued climbing up the sticky web and pressed the red button at the top, sending her back to the real world, smiling.
"Congratulations, Gothitelle," Mesprit smiled. "You just earned another point for your team!"
"Nice one, Gothitelle!" Whimsicott smiled as she high fived her.
"Thanks!" Gothitelle smiled.
Mesprit and the Mysterious Mesprit went back with the others and then Azelf spins the Types Wheel, which has landed on Flying.
"It's Flying type and it's a double!" Azelf smiled. "Infernape and Leavanny, can you please step forward?"
Infernape and Leavanny moved forward with the former looking determined, while the latter simply doesn't seem to care.
"You two are competing next because all of the other types you're seriously disadvantaged of were done," Azelf explained. "So, we need to find out which one of you can choose."
Mesprit spins the Contestants' Wheel. As the wheel is spinning, Leavanny looked a bit nervous, while Infernape is simply smoking his cigar and patiently waited for the wheel to stop, which has landed on Leavanny.
"Alright, Leavanny, you can choose-" Mesprit said before she got interrupted by Leavanny.
"I pick Virtual. I don't care what the challenge is; I'm taking Virtual so I don't have to experience any pain." Leavanny declared, crossing her arms.
"Like that hasn't happened already." Whimsicott remarked. This has made Octillery giggle, much to Leavanny's dismay.
"Very well, Leavanny," Azelf shrugged. "We just need to wait for Infernape to finish his match against Fearow."
Infernape is staring at the Fearow thirty feet in front of him. The said Fearow is glaring at him, which has made him to narrow his eyes.
"Hold that for me." Infernape scowled as he passed the cigar to Yanmega and then calmly walked toward Fearow until he's twenty feet between them. The scene is silent as nobody has moved a muscle until Infernape gestured Fearow with his fingers to say 'Bring it on'. Suddenly, Fearow flew into the air and then dived down toward Infernape, who just stared at the diving Fearow.
"Why's he just standing there, he's going to get hurt!" Espeon shouted, worried.
"I think Infernape knows what he's doing." Yanmega replied as he's staring at the diving Fearow getting closer to Infernape.
Fearow's peck has been sharpened as he's diving toward Infernape closer and closer. Once Fearow is about thirty feet between them, Infernape suddenly inhaled and then opened his mouth and released a powerful Flamethrower that has engulfed Fearow entirely. Very soon after Infernape has stopped using Flamethrower, Fearow has crashed to the ground and no longer covered in flames, however, that's not the only thing that has disappeared as it's revealed Fearow has no feathers on him at all due to Infernape's Flamethrower burning them into ashes.
The crowd was flabbergasted silently as Infernape is walking back to his team with a smirk showing across his face and picked up his cigar from Yanmega. Infernape inhaled and exhaled the smoke in satisfaction as the crowd was still speechless at Infernape.
"Err… Infernape wins two points, I guess…" Mesprit blinked.
Confessional: Now that… Badass…
Whimsicott: (Eyes widened) Remind me to never prank that guy…
Chandelure: (Astonish) Wow… that is the most powerful Flamethrower I have ever seen…
Yanmega: (Surprised but smiles as well) I'm shocked to see that, but I knew Infernape can kick that bird's ass.
Fearow: (Whimpering while wrapping his arms around his trembling naked body and rocking back and forth, terrified)
"Anyway… Leavanny, let's go back to the building for your challenge." Azelf said before he and the Awesome Azelf went back to the building and then Leavanny sat on one of the chairs with the helmet in her hands. "Leavanny, your challenge is to move through eight rings in the air with a help from a Flying type Pokémon. Succeed, and you earn a point for your team."
"Okay." Leavanny nodded before she put the helmet on and then she appeared in the virtual world. She's a bit surprised when she finds out she's now riding a Pidgeot. But she quickly calmed down and looked around her area. The sky is bright blue with a couple of clouds in front of her. What's also in front of her is a medium sized green ring.
"I still can't believe I'm actually doing this." Leavanny murmured before she gripped on the Pidgeot and then looked at the ring ahead of her. "Well, here goes. Forward."
The Pidgeot suddenly moved forward which has Leavanny screaming in surprise of how fast Pidgeot is flying. Both of them quickly flew through the first ring but Leavanny hasn't got an official control of Pidgeot yet.
"Ah! Slow down, slow down!" Leavanny shouted as she pulled Pidgeot's feathers to make her slow down. She somehow went through the second ring by the time she did that. "Now, let's fly through this slowly."
Pidgeot has listened to what Leavanny has said and moved through the next two rings at ease. As she continues her challenge, her teammates are watching her.
"I-hope-she-wins-we-need-another-point-to-tie-with -the-Unique-Uxie." Rapidash said.
"With the way she's performing right now, I think we still got a shot." Ursaring replied.
Ursaring could be right as Leavanny has just gone through another ring. She needs to move through three more rings before she completes the challenge. As she's flying Pidgeot for her sixth ring, she noticed that the clouds has appeared more and more every minutes, making it harder for her to see anything.
"Damn it, I can't see anything now-" Leavanny muttered as she looked around, however, that's a mistake because by the time she looks forward, all she can see is the bottom of the next ring. She didn't have time to scream as her face has connected with the ring and knocked off of Pidgeot, making her fall downward.
"Oh, that's gotta leave a mark." Marowak murmured as he cringed at Leavanny's being hit in the face with the ring, along with Azumarill, Rapidash and Ursaring.
Leavanny screamed and waved her arms frantically until she's suddenly back in the real world. She quickly takes off her helmet and then tries to stand up, but falls to the ground thanks to the five-second numbness. Ursaring extended his hand to pull her up but Leavanny slapped it away.
"Keep your hand off me!" Leavanny growled as she stands up and crosses her arms. "I never want to do that again!"
"Leavanny, if you survive the elimination tonight, then you'll be coming back here again real soon." Azelf stated.
"Oh, great." Leavanny muttered as she left the building with the rest of her team and Azelf following her until they're back with the others.
"Well, Leavanny, if you can't concentrate, then you shouldn't be riding a bird Pokémon." Whimsicott laughed.
"Oh, shut up." Leavanny scowled as she stood away from Whimsicott.
"Okay, let's get to the next type." Uxie stated before he spins the wheel, which has landed on Ghost. "It's Ghost. The next contestant has to be a member of the Unique Uxie because the only ones who are weak against Ghost is Chandelure and Espeon."
Azelf has spun the Contestants' Wheel, which has landed on Espeon.
"Espeon, you can choose either Virtual, where you have to walk across the graveyard and press the red button at the end," Azelf explained. "Or, you can battle against Mismagius."
"Personally, I would battle against Mismagius because I wouldn't have to participate in the virtual world," Espeon replied. "But, I feel Arceus wants me to win the challenge for my team, and I know I cannot defeat the Pokémon, so I decided to take on the Virtual."
"Okay, Espeon, follow me." Uxie nodded before he and the Unique Uxie went back to the building and Espeon put on the helmet after sitting down. She then appeared at the graveyard. It's dark at night as there are no stars to be seen in the sky. There are mists covering the graveyard, while there are gravestones everywhere. Espeon looks around the graveyard nervously as she's in the virtual world for the very first time.
"Arceus, please stand by my side," Espeon murmured before taking a deep breath and then started walking slowly. As she's walking through the graveyard, she stopped and look behind her as if she heard something, or someone. "Hello? Is there anybody around?"
Not a sound being heard except herself. She turned around and keeps walking but faster this time. A few minutes later, she hears it again as it sounded like a swish… She turned around and moved her eyes back and forth as she's ready to use Psychic against the hostiles.
"Who's there?!" Espeon hissed but also afraid. "Show yourselves, or Arceus help me, I will not hesitate to attack!"
Once again; not a sound is being heard. She stayed in her position for a few seconds before turning around. However, her heart sank as she's witnessing a Dusknoir and a Cofagrigus, who is grinning with his sharp teeth. Espeon screamed and tried to escape but she couldn't as both large ghosts have grabbed her, sending her back to the real world.
Espeon is trembling as she takes off the helmet and gets off the chair with Tangrowth holding her when she experienced five-second numbness. Espeon has moved away from Tangrowth after regaining the feeling of her body and walking toward the building.
"Poor girl, I hope she's okay." Tangrowth said as he's watching Espeon leaving the building.
"I'm sure she'll be fine." Vanilluxe said.
"Well, let's go back with the others, anyway." Uxie said before he and the Unique Uxie have walked out of the building and re-joined the others. Mesprit has spun the Types Wheel and it has landed on Dark.
"It's Dark. Chandelure, you need to step forward because all of the other types challenge you could've faced were done." Mesprit explained. "Also, Sableye, it's your turn at well because we think that this is the best challenge you can participate in."
"Okay." Sableye nodded as she stands next to Chandelure.
Uxie has spun the Contestants' Wheel and it has landed on Chandelure.
"Chandelure, you get the first pick." Uxie declared. "You can choose either Virtual, where you must move through a very dark place and find the flag pole, or you can battle against Absol."
"I request to move across the virtual dark, Uxie." Chandelure replied.
"Very well, Chandelure," Uxie nodded. "We'll go after Sableye has finished her match against Absol."
Sableye and Absol scowled at each other at they're ready to battle.
"Let the match begin!" Azelf declared.
Sableye ran toward Absol and attempted to use Power Gem, but Absol quickly moved out of the way and used Sucker Punch to punch her in the face.
"Ah!" Sableye screamed in pain as she hit the ground. But she got up almost immediately and attempted to use Power Gem again. But once again; Absol foresaw her move and Sucker Punched her to the ground, and this time; Sableye is not getting up. "Ugh…"
"Sableye is unable, so she failed to receive any point for her team." Azelf declared as Yanmega lifted Sableye up and moved her next to the rest of the Mysterious Mesprit.
"Sableye, you could've used OTHER moves beside Sucker Punch, you know." Bastiodon frowned.
"Hey, Power Gem is the only move I could've had any chance of defeating that Absol, since all of my other movements are either Ghost or Dark types!" Sableye protected, glaring.
"Whatever," Bastiodon grunted, rolling his eyes.
"Well, with the match finished, let's go back to the building." Uxie declared before he and the Unique Uxie went back inside the building and then Chandelure sat on the chair, currently holding the helmet.
"Uxie, the helmet won't get burned if I put it on, right?" Chandelure asked, not wanting to damage a part of a multi-million-dollar project.
"Don't worry, it's also designed to withdraw anything that could've damaged it, like fire, water, ice, you name it." Uxie assured.
"Oh, that's very good." Chandelure nodded before he put the helmet on and then he appeared in the virtual world. He's surprised to see that everything is completely dark. However, thanks to his candle arms, he can see that the ground is colored grey and it's flat with no pebble or rock at all. "Wow, it looks like Uxie is right about my challenge being very dark. Oh well, it's a good thing I have flames on my body to help me guide through."
As Chandelure moved through the darkness, his teammates are watching him. Espeon shuddered before speaking.
"This is part of the punishment for all the evil-doers when they died." Espeon murmured as she glanced sideways at Tangrowth.
"But even THAT would be too much for those people." Vanilluxe mused before smiling as usual. "However, all of us are kind in a way, so we don't have to worry about going to hell."
"I didn't know you're religious, Vanilluxe." Espeon said.
"I am a little bit, because I always believe there's something there when people die." Vanilluxe smiled.
"I agreed with you," Espeon nodded. "Arceus would never let good people be sent to darkness, it's not right."
Before anyone could talk anymore, Chandelure has completed the challenge and then was sent back to the real world. He took off the helmet and floated out of the chair.
"Well done, Chandelure, you just earned a point for your team." Uxie smiled. "Because of that, you just tied with the Mysterious Mesprit."
"I'm pleased to hear that." Chandelure smiled before moving next to his team.
"Nice job, Chandelure." Qwilfish smiled.
"Thanks!" Chandelure smiled before he, the rest of his team, and Uxie left the building to re-join the others.
"Okay, the next member of the Awesome Azelf has to be Druddigon on the solo, because Marowak can be in either solo or double, while we have something planned for Ursaring in the last challenge." Azelf explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Ursaring asked, raising a brow.
"You'll see." Azelf smirked before facing Druddigon. "Druddigon, you can choose either Virtual, where you have to receive an egg guarded by Salamence, or you can battle against Haxorus."
"That's easy; I'm gonna battle." Druddigon smirked.
Confessional: Redneck Dragon!
Druddigon: The other two teams have two points ahead of us. So, I need to take down big Haxorus to tie it all up. (Smirk) Plus, I love a good fight.
Druddigon walked up to Haxorus until they are ten feet between the two of them.
"Okay, let the battle begin!" Mesprit declared.
Both dragons are slowly walking in circles and glaring at each other at the same time as they're looking ready to attack at any moment. It's true as both of them lunge themselves toward each other with their arms ready to use Dragon Claw. Their arms made contact with each other and it's super effective as Haxorus was hit in the chest and stumbled but somehow managed to stay up, while Druddigon, however, has been hit in the face and went down to the ground.
Haxorus gripped his hand in pain thanks to Druddigon's ability; Rough Skin. But he then walked over to Druddigon, who was trying to get up until Haxorus has placed one of his feet on him to stay down. He smirked as he's about to finish Druddigon with his Dragon Claw aga-
CRACK!
Haxorus' eyes widened and he screamed in pain as he fell back to hit the ground on his butt and wrapped his hands around his injured crotch because Druddigon has swung his hand to hit his 'target'.
"I ain't losin' no battle today." Druddigon smirked as he quickly stood up and then used Dragon Claw to knock Haxorus out in the face, causing him to lie on the ground.
Mesprit flew over to Haxorus to see he is indeed knocked out.
"Haxorus is unable to battle, so Druddigon wins two points for his team!" Mesprit declared, smiling.
The Awesome Azelf except for Xatu and Klinklang cheered as Druddigon walked back to them with a satisfying smirk showing on his face.
"Okay, with Druddigon winning two points for his team, they are now tied up with the other two teams with four points each." Uxie explained. "Right now, there is this round and the next round to go before this challenge is over, so let's find out who will go next."
Uxie spins the Types Wheel, which has landed on Ice.
"It's Ice. Marowak will be competing in this challenge, since he's not weak against Poison or Fighting." Mesprit explained. "However, both Tangrowth and Whimsicott are weak against both Ice and Poison respectively. So no matter who does the Ice challenge, the other will do Poison."
Mesprit spins the Contestants' Wheel, which has landed on Tangrowth.
"Tangrowth, you'll take part in the Ice challenge, while Whimsicott will participate in the Poison." Mesprit declared. "But we still need to find out who will get the first pick."
Mesprit spins the Contestants' Wheel again, and it has landed on Tangrowth again.
"Tangrowth, you know the rules by now." Mesprit explained. "You can choose either Virtual, where you must stay in a very cold place, and avoid being frozen for two minutes. Or you can battle against Glalie. What's it gonna be, Tangrowth?"
"I pick Virtual." Tangrowth replied.
"Okay, Tangrowth, we need to wait for Marowak's match with Glalie to be over." Mesprit said.
Marowak walked over to Glalie with his bone club in his hand until both of them are twenty feet between each other.
"Let the match begin!" Uxie declared.
Glalie immediately shot out Ice Beam on Marowak, which is super effective as Marowak is knocked to the ground and took a lot of damage. Marowak stood up and wiped off the ice from his body and then ran toward Glalie, jumped up and then swung his bone club to use Double-Edge onto Glalie's face. This has given Glalie a lot of damage and it flew backward a bit. Marowak landed on the ground and prepared for more battle with his bone club at ready. He doesn't seem to be taking any damage for himself, which has made his teammates confused.
"I-thought-Double-Edge-would've-given-Marowak-dama ge-to-himself-as-well." Rapidash said, raising a brow.
"BZZT, ACCORDING TO THE SCANNER, MAROWAK HAS AN ABILITY CALLED 'ROCK HEAD'." Klinklang replied. "IT DOES NOT RECEIVE RECOIL DAMAGE FROM RECOIL-CAUSING ATTACKS, BZZT."
"That makes sense." Ursaring said.
Glalie fired an Ice Beam at Marowak, who has managed to narrowly avoid it and then jumped up and used Double-Edge again to swing his bone club directly onto Glalie's head. Glalie fell down to the ground and fainted immediately.
"With Glalie unable to battle, Marowak has also won two points for the Awesome Azelf!" Uxie smiled.
Marowak smiled as he walked back to his team, who are pleased to know they're in the lead right now. Meanwhile, Uxie and the Unique Uxie went back inside the building with Tangrowth sitting down on one of the chairs and then placing the helmet on. A moment later, he appeared in the virtual world.
"HOLY CRAP!" Tangrowth exclaimed, eyes widened at the location he's in. He's at a very cold place as the ground is completely covered in snow, the sky is grey, and there's a devastating blizzard currently going on. "Mesprit is right; this is a very cold place! It's a good thing I didn't feel it at all! I better keep moving, so I don't end up get frozen!"
As Tangrowth began to move to keep him from being frozen, his teammates are watching him from the real world, especially Espeon, who is staring at the monitor with no emotion showing on the outside. But on the inside; there is a pure hatred boiling at the sight of Tangrowth.
Confessional: According to Jack; he said that being in a very cold place make you feel like having hundreds of knives stab into your body, ouch.
Espeon: While I was watching Tangrowth in the frozen virtual world, I was praying to Arceus that he would actually die in that devilishly cold virtual world. But sadly, it did not happen. (Narrowing her eyes) However, I will eliminate him and all the other devils on this island in the name of Arceus, no matter what.
Tangrowth: Man, I'm glad it's virtual, I could've died in there within a minute!
Even though it's two minutes for Tangrowth to complete it, it feels like hours for him as he kept moving around the place. This strategy and his deep vines covering his whole body have helped him win the challenge and then he was sent back to the real world. He took off the helmet and waited for the numbness before getting off the chair.
"Congratulations, Tangrowth, you won the challenge and managed to score a point for your team!" Uxie smiled.
Tangrowth smiled and then happily high fived Ninjask. After that, they went back with the others.
"Okay, the next challenge is for Whimsicott since she's the only one weak against Poison." Azelf explained.
Whimsicott quickly stepped forward with a grinning excited face.
"Whimsicott, you can choose either Virtual, where you have to walk through a puddle of toxic sludge," Mesprit explained. "Or, you can battle against Muk."
"I pick Virtual, let's go!" Whimsicott grinned before she ran back to the building with her team and Mesprit following her. By the time the others have gone inside the building, Whimsicott has just appeared in the virtual world and looked at her surroundings.
She's in a toxic waste dump as the entire environment is ruined with all the trees burned, the sky is covered in grey clouds, and the air is possibly unbearable to breathe if Whimsicott could smell it. Right now, what she's standing in is a bubbly purple-greenish toxic puddle at thirty feet length and there's a red button on the podium at the other side.
"This place looks disgusting," Whimsicott murmured as she's grossed out before changing her face into a grin. "Cool! Now it's time for me to score a point!"
Whimsicott started running and attempted to get to the other side of the toxic puddle, however, it's more difficult to her than she thought because once she has stepped onto the toxic puddle, she can hardly move at all.
"Oh, dammit…" Whimsicott muttered.
Every time she moved her legs, she would wobble and almost landed her upper body to the poison as well. She slowly kept walking through a quarter of the toxic puddle, until she tripped and landed her face into the sludge. She said something that sounded like 'Oh, crap!', but her face is submerged under the toxic puddle and her body kept sinking below until she's back in the real world as she has failed to complete the challenge.
While Whimsicott is getting out of the chair, Zebstrika is watching the monitor outside with his team and the Awesome Azelf. He has an unimpressed expression on his face as he rolls his eyes and then shakes his head in disapproval.
Confessional: It is a bad idea to jump on a puddle with toxic in it?
Whimsicott: Well, that didn't go well, but next time I'm doing that again; I'm floating across!
Zebstrika: Vanilluxe has filled me in about what happened while I passed out. It turned out that beside Purugly; only three out of ten women have successfully completed the challenge, while eight of the guys did the same. I told them that women are no good for this type of show, and they're only going to hurt themselves. This is what I'm talking about, people!
Mesprit and the Mysterious Mesprit went back with the others and then Uxie spoke up.
"Okay, guys, after fifteen rounds, the current score are five for the Unique Uxie, four for the Mysterious Mesprit, while it's six for the Awesome Azelf." Uxie explained.
"There's still one more type left, and that's Fighting." Mesprit explained. "Purugly, Bastiodon, and Ursaring, you guys are the only ones who haven't competed yet, so your performance will determine the result."
"None of you will be in the virtual world as your challenge is to fight these guys!" Azelf smiled as he gestured to the three Fighting type Pokémon; Conkeldurr, Primeape and Hitmontop, who started laughing when they saw Bastiodon's makeover face.
"What?!" Bastiodon shouted. "No way, I'm not fighting them; they could ruin my beautiful face!"
"Like it hasn't already been ruined," Infernape remarked, not pleased of Bastiodon's refusal to participate. "Just man up, Bastiodon, and fight them!"
"NO!" Bastiodon growled as he stepped close to Infernape. "You can't make me! I'm not doing this challenge and that's final!"
Bastiodon stubbornly walked away from his team and then stood a good distance from everyone.
"Well, in that case; the Mysterious Mesprit has lost the challenge and will be up for elimination tonight." Mesprit declared.
Mysterious Mesprit are outraged with Bastiodon's refusing to participate.
Confessional: That was stupid, Bastiodon.
Gothitelle: (Glare as she shake her head) Bastiodon… you idiot!
Octillery: Wait a minute, if we lost, then that means… (Widening her eyes in horror) I'm not going back to the Winner Cabin tonight… (Gripping her head dramatically) NOOOOO!
"But despite what just happened, we still need to find out which teams will sleep in either the Winner Cabin, or the Middle Cabin." Uxie explained. "So, for the last time for today; let's find out who will get the first pick."
Uxie spins the Contestants' Wheel and it has landed on Ursaring.
"Ursaring, you can decide which Pokémon you can battle." Azelf declared.
Ursaring looks over the three Fighting type Pokémon as he's thinking about whom he will battle. A moment later, he has made his decision.
"I would like to battle Hitmontop, please." Ursaring replied before said Pokémon stepped forward.
"Very well, but there's one more thing you and the others should know." Azelf said.
"What it is?" Ursaring asked.
"If you managed to defeat Hitmontop faster than Purugly's match with a different Pokémon," Azelf explained. "Or survive the longest before losing the battle; your team will earn first place."
Ursaring nodded in understanding and then walked over to Hitmontop until he's ten feet between each other. Both of them are glaring at each other until Ursaring started running toward Hitmontop with his claw, ready to use Hammer Arm. But Hitmontop has thought ahead as he used Detect to protect himself from Ursaring's Hammer Arm, who has just slammed it into the Detect dome that's covering Hitmontop.
The Fighting type then suddenly ran to Ursaring and used Close Combat to the jaw. Ursaring is knocked to the ground with a bruised jaw, but he's determined to win as he stood up surprisingly quick and then used Thrash before Hitmontop can use Detect again. Ursaring kept punching and clawing Hitmontop again and again for twenty seconds before he stopped and let the Fighting type fall to the ground and faint. There's actually a little bit of blood on his face as well.
Ursaring was heaving from thrashing Hitmontop as everyone stared at him while he's walking back to his team. When he stood next to Azumarill, he noticed that she's trembling, so he looked apologetic and wrapped his arm around to comfort her.
"I'm sorry to scare you like that, but I was just trying to win the challenge for our team." Ursaring said as he's slowly rubbing Azumarill's back. "I'm sure that guy will be fine, honey."
This isn't making Azumarill feel any better as she's still trembling.
Confessional: Bears do tend to be very dangerous when they attack you.
Azumarill: (Trembling while whimpering in fear)
Ursaring: (Glare) Do I regret beating the crap out of that guy? Hell no, because if anybody gets in my way of getting whatever I want, they will pay.
"Ursaring just gave his team a better chance of winning," Mesprit explained. "But Purugly, in order for you to win this challenge for your team, you need to be quicker than a minute and five seconds."
"Okay." Purugly nodded.
"Purugly, which Pokémon do you want to battle?" Uxie asked.
Purugly did a quick glance at the two Fighting type Pokémon and then made her decision.
"I've decided to battle Primeape." Purugly declared before she moved closer to Primeape until she's ten feet between each other.
"Okay, I'm starting the timer… now!" Azelf said as he pressed the stopwatch to start the time.
Primeape is ready to battle, but it then looks confused as Purugly strutted her way toward it in a sexual way.
"Hello…" Purugly purred as she walked slowly around the confused Primeape with her twisted tail pressing against its body. "Do you think you could go easy on me? If you do that, I can give you a treat…"
Purugly walked back in front of Primeape with a flirty smirk showing across her face. Primeape just stared at her with one of her brows raised and then spoke up.
"Ma'am, I'm a woman, and I'm straight."
This statement has made Purugly widen her eyes in shock.
"That's a woman?" Bastiodon said astonished.
Primeape has become angry when Bastiodon make that statement. She then glanced back at Purugly, who just come out of her shock and was attempting to use Slash. But she's too late as Primeape used Close Combat to hit her in the jaw and knocked her up flying in the air until Tangrowth has extended his long arms to grab her and then pulled her back to him.
"Purugly, are you okay?" Qwilfish asked, concerned.
"Ow…" Purugly moaned in pain as Tangrowth has slowly put her on the ground. "Maybe I should just battle instead..."
"Purugly, your effort isn't enough as Ursaring wins two points and managed to win today's challenge for the Awesome Azelf!" Uxie smiled.
As usual, the Awesome Azelf except for Klinklang and Xatu, cheered at their first win. The Unique Uxie meanwhile, is okay about the fact they'll be sleeping with a bed this time.
"The Mysterious Mesprit, I'll see you guys tonight." Mesprit said before Primeape walked over to her.
"Excuse me; do I still get paid if I can beat the crap out of that Bastiodon?" Primeape asked, angrily as she pointed at Bastiodon who has heard the whole thing and started walking backward slowly in fear.
"Yeah, let her do it," Whimsicott smirked. "Since Bastiodon IS the only one who hasn't made an effort yet."
"Sure, go ahead." Mesprit smiled.
Primeape smirked evilly as she turned around to face the scared Bastiodon, who just started running away while screaming.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR MAKING THAT STATEMENT!" Primeape roared as she started chasing the screaming Bastiodon.
Confessional: Do I know that Primeape?
Bastiodon: (His face is covered with bruises and he got a black eye on his left) Oh… I still don't know who put the make up on my face, but I vote for Whimsicott because I think she's the most likely choice. Ow… my beautiful face…
Gothitelle: (Crossing her arms) I vote for Bastiodon.
Yanmega: Even though Bastiodon has cost us the challenge, I'm not voting him off… (Whisper) 'Cos I'm voting for Sableye instead, since as long as she stays around, I can't talk to Infernape about anything, so she needs to go.
The day has become dark as the Mysterious Mesprit is anxiously waiting while they're sitting on the stumps around the Elimination Ceremony. Mesprit arrives at the scene, carrying a tray of Poffins with Furret standing next to her.
"Hi guys, welcome to your first Elimination Ceremony." Mesprit greeted as she placed the tray of Poffins on to the podium next to her. "Before I give out the Poffins, I would like to ask you guys a couple of questions. We'll be doing this every time during the elimination."
The contestants are silent.
"Octillery, how are you feeling when you've found out that you're not sleeping at the Winner Cabin this time?"
"It totally sucks!" Octillery sniffed. "The Winner Cabin is totally the most beautiful place I have ever seen! The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, while there are beers and a hot tub!"
Octillery became angry and gestured to Bastiodon.
"It's all HIS fault that I can't be there tonight!" Octillery shouted angrily before she became sad again as Whimsicott patted her back.
"Bastiodon, why did you forfeit the challenge? You knew your team would be here if you didn't participate." Mesprit asked.
"I didn't want to do it because I could get hurt and my body is worth more than a million dollars to me." Bastiodon replied.
"Dude, the least you could do is try!" Jolteon scolded. "Octillery had done it, and she's isn't exactly the most athletic here!"
"Even if I do try, we still could've lost!" Bastiodon argued. "So I thought it's not worth it to do the challenge."
"Gothitelle, do you think your team could've avoid this elimination had Bastiodon tried?" Mesprit asked.
"I did the math, and I think we could possibly avoid coming here, and possibly even win the challenge." Gothitelle replied.
"How?"
"Well, the score before the final round is five points for the Uxie, six points for Azelf, while there's four points for us." Gothitelle explained. "If we want to place second; then Bastiodon needed to perform better than Purugly, who would've gotten no point. BUT, if we want to win; then Bastiodon needs to place first with Purugly in second, while Ursaring became last. After that, there would've been a tiebreaker to determine the final result, and could possibly win us the challenge."
"That just knocked out your assumption, Bastiorella." Mesprit smirked.
Bastiodon remained silent, stubbornly.
"Okay guys, no more questions and I'm going to give out the Poffins." Mesprit declared as she shows the tray of Poffins to the Mysterious Mesprit. "Here are the rules; if you get one of these Poffins, you are safe. But, if you do not get one, then you must walk down the Dock of Shame and ride the Wailord of Losers, so that means you're out of the game. But before we do that, I have to ask this; if anybody has any idols you would like to play, now would be the time to do so."
The Mysterious Mesprit remained silent.
"Alright, the first three Poffins go to the contestants who had managed to score points for you guys, Infernape, Gothitelle and Yanmega." Mesprit said as she throws the Poffins to the three Pokémon, who are happy that they're safe. "The rest of you had failed to complete your challenge. But despite that, the next three Poffins go to Octillery, Jolteon and Whimsicott."
Bastiodon is displeased that Whimsicott is safe. But he then glared at Sableye, who glared back.
"Bastiodon and Sableye, you both got votes between you two, but one of you got more than the other." Mesprit stated as she held up the last Poffin. "The final Poffin goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Sableye."
"What?!" Bastiodon exclaimed as Sableye happily received her Poffin. "I can't just be voted out, I'm a star!"
"Well, you're not in this show, Bastiodon, so would you please go down the Dock of Shame?" Mesprit said, gesturing to the Dock of Shame.
"Alright fine," Bastiodon grumbled. "But at least let me leave this show, dramatically."
Mesprit has given him permission to do so, so Bastiodon cleared his throat and then fell down to his knee.
"NOOOO! How could I possibly lose?! I had many plans to dominate this game!" Bastiodon shouted, while motioning Mesprit to use Telekinesis to send him to the Wailord of Losers. Mesprit understood it and started telekinetically moving him to Wailord. "I was going to form alliances, uncover the idols, and battle all the obstacle courses until I have attained my goal of winning the million dollars!"
Mesprit has telekinetically moved Bastiodon to the Wailord of Losers, which has started moving away from the island, while Bastiodon is still acting dramatically.
"All of you shall suffer for my elimination! YOU. SHALL. ALL. PAY!" Bastiodon shouted before he has calmed down and smiled. "And… scene!"
That was the last thing Bastiodon said before he and Wailord were far away from the hearing distance. The mysterious Mesprit remained silent until Whimsicott has broken it.
"I have to say, that was pretty good acting." Whimsicott admitted before the rest of her team murmured in agreement.
"Okay guys, I know you voted out Bastiodon but the good news is, you get to have Furret now!" Mesprit smiled before bringing out a pink buff. "Furret, drop your white buff and put this on, please."
Furret took off her white buff and then put on a pink buff.
"You may now join your new team, Furret." Mesprit smiled.
"Thanks!" Furret smiled before she walked over to the Mysterious Mesprit. "Hi guys!"
"Hi, welcome to the team!" Whimsicott smiled as she shakes Furret's hand.
"Guys, you may now leave the area." Mesprit said before she left the Elimination Ceremony area, while the Mysterious Mesprit is going to the Loser Cabin.
Confessional: Achievement unlocked; they gained Furret as their new teammate!
Octillery: (Glare) That will show Bastiodon to not mess with my fun time at the Winner Cabin! (She suddenly breaks into tears) My beers and hot tub! (Sobbing)
Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf stood on the Dock of Shame about ten minutes after the elimination.
"And so, Bastiodon is voted out by his teammates, and his teammates have now gained a new member; Furret." Mesprit said to the camera.
"That's just proving that he's not the star, only me." Azelf boasted.
Uxie and Mesprit roll their eyes.
"Whatever makes you happy, Azelf." Uxie said before facing the camera again. "So now that Yanmega has found the Swap Idol, will he ever get a chance to talk to Infernape about it without Sableye's spying on them?
"How will Furret fare with her new team?" Mesprit asked, rhetorically.
"And will Octillery ever get over the Winner Cabin?" Azelf asked before the three hosts can hear Octillery's wailing.
"That would be a no." Mesprit said before showing a smile. "But join us next time on Total!"
"Pokémon!" Azelf exclaimed.
"Alphabet!" Uxie exclaimed.

Bastiodon has become the second person out. I never really liked the guy as he isn't fun to write with than most of the others, so that's why he's out here. I don't know whether people will miss him or not.
Sorry if the challenge is too long but I did it so all of the contestants get their moment in this episode. What do you guys think of the Type-o-tron?
GASP! Yanmega has found the Swap Idol! How will he use it? If you want to see what it really looks like, then go to my deviantART account to check it out.
So we're starting to get to know the contestants more like Rapidash is afraid of water, Furret is autistic, and Tangrowth is gay. Speaking of Tangrowth, he's now on Espeon's hit list, so he better watch out!
Once again; thank you Bad-Asp for helping me to improve my writing! :)
Please remember to review to tell me what you think of the story.
Bastiodon: Review everyone, if you all adore me! (He flashes his teeth)
