Ultimate Total Pokémon Action

by Dark Arcanine 33

The sequel to possibly the weakest TPI in history. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are back and are welcoming players new and old. What will happen this time? Tune in to find out. Or don't... It's fine if you don't.

5. Up and Up!

SUN AND MOON HYPE!

Raikou groaned as he woke up in his bed in the trailer. Looking to his left and right, he saw a smiling, sleeping Entei to his left and a smiling, sleeping Suicune to the right. Raikou sighed to himself as he got up and stretched.

He muttered to himself. "Bullshit random agreement. If that's the case, why hasn't Entei gotten his punishment yet for losing the first challenge?"

He made his way over to the list on the table and read what the next movie basis was going to be. He sighed to himself before looking at the clock and seeing that it was 9:12 AM.

Raikou walked back over to his bed where his co-hosts lay and took a deep breath. He kissed Suicune's forehead and nudged her to get awake.

She tossed a bit before finally waking up. Upon seeing Raikou, she smiled and kissed him before getting out of bed and stretching.

"Last night was incredible…" she said with a smile.

"Yeah...if only he wasn't part of it…" Raikou said, eyeing Entei begrudgingly.

"Hey you guys are friends and he likes the same parts of you that I do…" Suicune said. "It's not that bad…"

"It is when he acts like a clingy jealous girlfriend…" Raikou explained. "I'm not even fucking gay!"

"Well, thems the breaks, hon…" Suicune said, giggling. "You might as well go on and wake him up…"

Raikou chuckled. "Don't worry...I got it."

He rose a paw, sparks emanating from it, before smacking Entei's thigh, startling him awake.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" he exclaimed angrily.

"There he is...nice and angry…" Raikou said, a frown on his face.

Entei chuckled. "Aw...you still mad that your team lost and you had to 'service' me again?"

"Still not a bottom, so I give no shits…" Raikou said. "Now get up, we have to get ready…"

"Mmhmm…" Entei said with a smirk.

000

The guys on the Enteis were all still fast asleep.

"WELCOME TO WALLY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF SWEETS!"

Or at least they were for a while…

"What the hell?!" Umbreon exclaimed upon hearing those words at a high volume. He looked over and saw Swirlix and Wooper sitting on the floor staring up at the television before snarling.

"Are you serious, guys?" asked Houndoom, rubbing his eyes.

"Sorry for it being too loud…" said Wooper. "Didn't know the volume was on 88."

"Why the hell are you two even watching TV?" asked Dusclops. "It just brainwashes people with stupidity. Hence why you two are probably ignoring me and continuing to watch anyway…"

"Those cannolis look so tasty!" Swirlix exclaimed, licking his lips ravenously.

"I rest my case…" Dusclops said before going back to sleep.

The elevator dinged and opened, revealing Grovyle, who returned empty handed.

"When the heck did you get up?" asked Braviary, eyeing Grovyle's empty bed.

"Oh, I get up at 5 o'clock on the dot ev'ry mornin'", Grovyle explained, popping his back as he grabbed a toothbrush from between his mattress and boxspring. "It's like an internal alarm clock."

"Well good for you…" said Ursaring, covering his head with both sides of his pillow. "Now can you fuckers pipe down so that some of us can get more sleep!?"

"It's almost 9:30…" Quilladin said as he got out of bed and looked at the clock on the TV's bottom right corner.

"It's almost 9:30", Metagross repeated. "You're gonna be wasting your own time…"

"NO CHALLENGE MEANS THERE'S NOTHING TO FUCKING DO! NOW SHUT UP!"

"Aw forget him, fellas", said Grovyle, waving the brown bear away. "Let's go explorin'..."

"Exploring?' asked Zebstrika. "No offense, but there's nothing to explore…"

"Not if you think that way, now come on, it'll be good exercise…" said Grovyle as he started jogging in place.

"What have you been doing since 5 o'clock if you're just now suggesting that we go jogging?" asked Houndoom.

"Personal thinking…" Grovyle said vaguely.

"Oookay…." the hellhound replied unsurely.

"Now come on fellas, let's go…" said Grovyle as he motioned towards the elevator. "You never know. Maybe something interesting will happen…"

Some of the guys that were awake started following him. Braviary saw that Wooper and Swirlix were still on the floor in front of the TV.

"Um...you guys coming?" he asked.

"Exercise bad...TV good…" Swirlix said, still staring at the TV.

Braviary walked over and turned off the television.

"NOOOOOOO!"

"OUT!" Umbreon yelled, glaring daggers at the three of them, huffing angrily.

"Yep...you're definitely Espeon's boyfriend", Wooper commented.

"B-But the cannolis…"

"Swirlix, come on…" Braviary said, stifling a chuckle. "Cannolis are not that important…"

"Cannolis…" Swirlix said as Wooper helped him onto Braviary's back before he flew out of the window.

-000-

"Are they gone, now?!" Espeon growled, a sleep mask covering her eyes.

"Most likely, yes…" said Goodra, who was already up and refreshed as she headed out of the shower.

"Ugh...the walking is so annoying…" Froslass groaned.

"Is everything annoying to you?" asked Mightyena.

"Of course not. I'm not a pessimist…"

"Maybe you should stop acting like one, then…" said Delphox, filing her nails.

"Speaking of acting...what the hell were you doing to Houndoom in the last challenge?" Absol asked with a glare.

"Yeah, what WAS that?" Jolteon glared.

"What do you mean?" Delphox asked innocently.

"You know damn well what we mean…" Jolteon growled. "That rubbing and grinding…"

"He's fair game isn't he?" Delphox asked with a smile. "He hasn't shown any interest in either of you…"

"HE'S MY BOYFRIEND!" Absol exclaimed.

"EX-boyfriend...EX", Espeon emphasized. "Can't get mad that he doesn't trust you anymore…"

"Shut up Espeon", said Mightyena. "You're not helping…"

"Who says that I was anyway?" asked Espeon as she decided to go ahead and get up.

"Ugh, the negativity in here is annoying. I'm gonna go with the guys and see what they're up to…" Breloom said.

"Yeah, as long as neither Ursaring nor Dusclops are involved. I think I'll come, too…" Zangoose said.

"Mhmm mhmm hmm mmph!" Cherrim said, back in her Overcast form .

"Um...anyone here know Sunny Day so we can understand her?" asked Zangoose.

"Meganium does, but she's on the Raikous…" said Froslass.

"Does Servine know it?" asked Jolteon.

"Oh I don't know, why don't we ask her…" Froslass said, looking at an empty bed.

"What the-where is she?" asked Mightyena.

"How should we know?" asked Delphox. "We weren't up when she was…"

"She probably already left…" said Espeon. "Where she went? Who the hell cares?"

Jolteon sighed. "Why are people so insensitive and rude on this team?"

"Hey, we don't have Delcatty. That's a good thing", said Goodra.

"Yeah, but that doesn't change anything", said Froslass. "So...deal with it…"

Goodra sighed.

000

"Maybe I could transfer teams. I don't mind being on the Raikous or Suicunes", Goodra said. "At least the Suicunes have been in middle ground and the Raikous have only lost once...and Dragonite told me that Raikou just gave them chips at their elimination!"

She sighed. "This sucks…"

000

Skuntank was looking out of the window of their apartment as she saw a few others walking across the lot. They hadn't been called or anything, so this confused her a bit.

"Huh, I wonder where they're going…" she inquired.

"Who?" asked Mandibuzz, as a few of the other girls were watching television. She flew over to the window, and upon seeing the others walking, she gained a confused look as well. "Huh...that is weird…but, no use in wondering if it's not our team. It's a waste of time…"

Vaporeon, Milotic, Bellossom, Leafeon, Mismagius, and Cubchoo's eyes were all glued to the television as the news played.

"Well…" Garchomp said, breaking the silence. "I'm gonna head to the gym. Anyone wanna join me?"

She got no almost response and groaned as a result.

"I guess I'll come with you. I've got nothing better to do…" Lairon said heading out of the bathroom.

"Wait, you said you're going to the gym?' asked Skuntank. "I didn't even know there was a gym here!"

"It's on the floor above the guys'", Garchomp explained. "You're telling me you didn't notice that there were other floors above us. You can even see it from the outside…"

"Sorry, we haven't been that observant…" Mandibuzz said. "But obviously you have…"

"Yeah...I like to know where I'm living…" said Garchomp. "Plus, some apartments like this have a gym in it anyway."

"Yeah, I can believe that…" said Lairon. "So are we going or are we just gonna stand here and watch them look at the news?"

"Hey, for your information, this is pretty interesting…" said Mismagius. "They're talking about how the influx of these shows is costing millions of dollars in therapy, damages, and real estate. Especially since people don't even watch much of them anymore…"

"Well that's the legendaries' problems…" said Garchomp. "And some of us normal idiots who think that we can get enough ratings…"

"So you're calling yourself an idiot...as well as us…" said Milotic. "Thanks for that…"

"Ugh...don't think like that", said Garchomp. "I didn't mean it like that…"

"Whatever…" said Bellossom.

Garchomp groaned and just decided to leave, Mandibuzz, Lairon, and Skuntank following her.

000

"As you can probably guess, I'm not what you call…'girly'", Garchomp explained. "I mean, I can be, but I choose not to because I prefer strength…"

"And because of that...and my 'intimidation' factor, I don't tend to make that many friends...or any friends for that matter. Even when I'm trying to be friendly..."

000

The sprinklers were spraying the room again thanks to Tepig sneezing again.

"Are you ever gonna get over that damn cold of yours?!" Eelektrik exclaimed. "Because I'd rather have to sleep in the damn bathtub to avoid this happening every fucking day!"

"I'm sorry! I can't control it!" Tepig exclaimed. "I have hay fever!"

"Oh for fuck's sake…." Bronzor groaned. "So we're gonna probably gonna be dealing with this for months…"

"If that's the case, I'm sleeping in the girls' room", said Gligar, who was hiding under his bed to avoid the water.

Eventually, the sprinklers stopped, bringing the question...why the hell didn't any of them leave?! Dewott eventually decided to do so and walked to the elevator. Haxorus and Charizard saw him and decided to follow him.

Honchkrow saw this and grew suspicious.

"And where are you guys going?" he asked.

"Somewhere…" Charizard answered. "This place is damp now, so you guys might wanna consider leaving, too…"

"True…" Vanillite said, looking around at the wet sheets, beds, and floor.

"I don't even think the TV works anymore…" said Piloswine, looking at the hanging TV.

"Well that's just great…" said Pangoro, folding his arms.

"Is the fridge okay?!" Gulpin exclaimed.

"It's a fucking fridge…" Manectric said. "Of course it's fine…"

Gulpin sighed in relief.

"Okay I'm outta here…" said Eelektrik. "This is far too idiotic for me…"

"Alright, you have fun…try not to SUCK FERROTHORN COCK FUCK!" Shieldon exclaimed.

"...Thanks…" Eelektrik stated with an annoyed look as he floated out of the window.

000

The guys on the Raikous were all still looking a bit tired except for Tyranitar, who actually looked energetic.

"Come on guys, you understand why I did it, right?" Tyranitar asked. "I had to calm her down somehow…"

"Yes, and in doing so, we lost sleep, which will most likely cost us the next challenge…" said Spiritomb.

"They haven't even called us down yet, guys…" Tyranitar said. "You guys still have time…"

"Yes, but lad, tis probably not gonna do much…"

"Just sleep…" Tyranitar said. "I'll go see what the girls are up to…"

"Better hope they don't tear you apart for probably ruining their beauty sleep", said Delibird. "Good luck…"

Spiritomb yanked the curtains closed as Tyranitar went toward the elevator.

000

"So...uh...I'm surprised you're still able to stand and walk…" Blissey commented.

"Why?" asked Typhlosion, despite knowing exactly why.

"I mean...it's just...he's pretty huge in normal size, so...I just thought…"

Typhlosion blushed.

"Yeah...your screams made it sound like he was tearing you apart…" Gothitelle said.

Typhlosion giggled. "Well, when you have a boyfriend as good as mine...that'll happen…"

Meganium giggled. "That's the kind of relationship I wish I had…"

"Wait...do you have a boyfriend already, Meganium?" asked Lanturn. "What about Tropius?

"What about Tropius?" Meganium asked back. "And no, I'm not in a relationship. But...I'll be honest...the ones that I had previously were...bad…"

"Bad?" asked Altaria, flying next to and laying on her bed with her. "What do you mean bad?"

Meganium sighed and started to feel uncomfortably sad, especially upon seeing their inquisitive looks. "Um...I'd rather not talk about it…"

"Well, I guess that's understandable…" said Lanturn.

There was a knock on their door. Typhlosion walked over to it and upon opening it up. She saw Tyranitar there and immediately purred. "Hey there, big boy…"

"Hey cutie…" he replied, pecking her on the lips before coming in.

"Hey girls...hope I wasn't interrupting anything important…" Tyranitar greeted as he walked into their room.

"Oh...if it isn't the rocky 'stallion' himself…" Gothitelle said, folding her arms.

Tyranitar blushed and laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, let's please not talk about that. Apparently, we kept the eyes up with our 'antics' and they need more sleep…"

"Ugh…you guys were only at it for 30 minutes…" Delcatty said. "They're probably just being lazy…"

"Better be-" Noibat started before having her mouth covered by Blissey.

"Now's not the time. She's not doing anything annoying, so just let...her...be…" Blissey whispered harshly.

Noibat nodded with an annoyed look.

"CONTESTANTS! REPORT TO THE CRAFT SERVICES TENT FOR BREAKFAST!"

"Looks like they won't be getting those extra thirty minutes back…" Delcatty said with a grin.

000

The breakfast was the same as it was last time, only this time, the teams were swapped. The Raikous got the last place breakfast, the Suicunes got the second place, and the Enteis, of course, got the first place.

After receiving their breakfasts, instead of them heading back to their apartments, they all went their separate ways to hang with actual friends or loved ones.

000

Ten of the guys, a few from each team, made their way to the movie theater for 'breakfast and a movie'. Among them: Gulpin, Piloswine, Vanillite, Shellder, Heliolisk, Zebstrika, Quilladin, Shieldon, Tepig, and Gligar. They seemed to have all gotten along with each other during their orientation, and because they didn't get a chance to hang out before the last challenge, they were doing it now.

"So, which movie do you guys wanna see?" Quilladin asked, looking at the updated listings.

"Did you guys hear something?" asked Gligar.

"GUYS!"

"Oh, sorry Quilladin…" Zebstrika said sheepishly. "Keep forgetting about you…"

"Yeah...I get that a lot, annoyingly…" Quilladin said with a frown.

"What movies do they have?" asked Shellder.

"Whichever one you choose, I hope it's fast", Piloswine said, holding two tall, filled plates on top of each other, in his tusks. "It feels like my tusks are about to fall off…"

"I said I could hold my own plate…" Gulpin said.

"And when you grabbed it, you could barely pick it up and it almost fell over…" Gligar chuckled.

"Hey, it's called trying…" Gulpin said.

"And almost failing…" Tepig finished, balancing his plate on his back, which was impressive considering his sickness.

"How about...The Breakfast Club?"

"Fitting", said Vanillite. "Let's go. Which theater is it in?"

"Um...it looks like UNLUCKY SHIT FUCK! I mean...13…" Shieldon said with a sigh. "This is so fucking annoying…"

"Let's just get inside and try to a normal, fun time…" Heliolisk said. "Come on, Mr. Cornall…"

As the Generator Pokemon made his way inside, the others eyed him awkwardly.

"Normal...riiiiiight", said Gligar before he and the others followed him.

000

"Normal?" asked Gligar. "No offense to any of my buds, but out of our group, the only ones that are remotely normal are probably me, Vanillite, Zebstrika, and Shellder. Like I said, there should be no offense taken...though some people may choose to do it anyway…"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

000

Dragonite had gone with Goodra, seeing her head back to her team's apartment. Confused, he followed her, flying up next to her to catch up.

"So, uh...w-where are you headed?" he asked.

"I was gonna just hang out in the apartment and I guess check out the other floors…" Goodra explained. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I was just...uh...curious, yeah…" he said nervously.

Goodra noticed that he still had his same demeanor and grew a bit concerned. "Are you okay?"

Dragonite took a deep breath. "Yeah... " he answered, sounded a bit dejected.

"That doesn't sound like you're fine…" Goodra replied as she reached the door of her team's apartment. "Come in…"

Dragonite was going to come inside anyway. He didn't really have any friends other than her, anyway. On the way toward the elevator, Dragonite couldn't help but stare at Goodra. Her perfect curves, her cute smile, her tomboyish nature, her willingness to actually talk to and help him, it made Dragonite blush. However, he knew that a shy loser like him could never get her. Or anyone for that matter.

The two of them rode the elevator up to her team's girls' floor. Goodra entered the room and placed her plate on her bed before folding her arms and seeing Dragonite sit on the floor.

"What are you doing?" she asked, giggling. 'You can sit on a bed."

"It's okay. I don't want any of your teammates getting mad at me for ruining anything…"

"It's a bed, dude...come on", she insisted. "You can even sit with me…"

She moved her plate and sat down on the side of her bed as Dragonite hesitantly sat on the edge.

"See, that wasn't so hard now was it?" Goodra asked.

Dragonite laughed softly.

"So….what problem do you have?" asked Goodra before gnawing on a piece of bacon.

Dragonite sighed. "I don't know. I just...I don't feel that connected to my team", he explained. "I mean, they're pretty nice, well...unless they're angry or Delcatty…"

"Well, I kinda have the same feeling about my team…" said Goodra. "I mean...they're okay...but some of the girls are either depressing, act skanky, are inconsiderate, or are just…"

She sighed before getting refocused. This was about him.

"So, I'll take it that you haven't been making many friends…" said Goodra. "No offense, by the way…"

"None taken…" said Dragonite. "And...while I wouldn't say I have been making MANY friends...I think I can consider you a friend. I mean, if you don't mind…"

Goodra giggled and kissed his cheek, making him blush.

"Of course we're friends…" Goodra said with a smile.

Dragonite returned the smile.

000

Dragonite sighed.

"Goodra is probably my first actual female friend. I never do well when talking to girls or starting conversations in general, but...when around her...it feels easy", he explained. "I don't get why...but, I'm glad I have her here..."

000

"I wish Dragonite wasn't so shy…" Goodra said. "He seems like such a sweet guy, but his shyness makes him so antisocial that he can't even feel comfortable making some decisions…"

"He's so cute, too...but I don't think he's ready for a relationship or anything…" Goodra said.

000

Tropius and Meganium were walking yet again. They had already finished their breakfast, as they were fast eaters, so they had nothing to worry about.

Once again there a bit of silence between them. Tropius didn't want to start another conversation because he thought that she wasn't going to get his quips or he was going to make her feel uncomfortable.

Meganium felt the opposite. She didn't really mind Tropius being there and she found his jokes to be funny at times, but she still didn't trust him.

Tired of the silence, and despite his nervousness, he decided to speak up.

"So, uh...nice weather we're having, huh?" he asked.

"It's okay, I guess…" Meganium replied.

Tropius sighed. That was all he had. He really wanted her to like him. It didn't even have to be in a romantic way.

He felt like she had a dislike of him for some reason. Last time they walked, she seemed fine with him, but at the moment he felt like she wanted him away from her.

"You okay?" he heard her ask.

She had noticed his forlorn expression and her caring nature emerged, even though she didn't want it to.

"Oh...um...yeah, fine…" he responded. "Y-you okay?"

"Fine…" she answered. "You just looked a bit sad...which is a bit weird…"

"Oh, sorry sorry...just thinking..." Tropius explained.

"Oh...well...okay", she replied as they continued walking.

Okay now things were getting awkward…

Tropius groaned. He didn't like thinking this way and he was actually getting irritated. "Okay, I know this is gonna sound weird, but...do you like me?"

She knew it. He was like all other guys she'd encountered that acted all nice…

She didn't want to be rude, though, so she decided to answer with a question.

"And why are you asking?"

"Because, I just feel like I'm scaring you or you just don't like me for some reason…" Tropius explained. "Whenever we're together, it's quiet and awkward and I don't like it…"

"This is just the second time…"

"Oh….great. Now I sound like a creepy stalker…" Tropius said before sighing. "Okay, I guess I'll be honest."

"You mean you haven't been?"

"No, I have, I just…" Tropius started before taking a breath. "I know this may be sudden, but...I like you. I think you're cute, and I'd like to go out with you…"

That was sudden. It's only the third challenge day and he's already trying to ask her out? She usually got into relationships that have been way more normal or casual.

"Um...Tropius, I'm flattered, but we barely know each other", Meganium said, explaining her concerns.

"That's kinda why I wanna go out with you…" Tropius said. "I wanna learn more. I mean, we don't have to kiss or anything...I mean, unless you-"

Meganium gave him a look.

"Right…"

"Look Tropius, I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a relationship. At least..not right now", Meganium explained, looking down. She didn't want to explain her whole situation, so she just left it at that.

"Oh...I understand…" Tropius said, disappointment evident in his voice. "But we can still at least be friends right?"

Meganium giggled. "We're on the same team. We're all bound to be anyway…"

"I wouldn't say that...we still have Delcatty on the team.. " Tropius joked, making Meganium giggle once more.

000

Tropius sighed. "That was a bust. But at least I know now that she's not looking for a relationship and I can keep acting normal…"

000

After finishing their breakfast, Eelektrik asked Bronzor, Dusclops, Froslass, Espeon, Umbreon, and Delcatty to meet him in front of a horror movie set.

He wasn't sure if any of them would even show up and after about 10 minutes, he groaned. "Note to self. Never ask for anything again because these people are awful…"

"Who you calling awful?" he heard.

He turned to his left and saw that all of them were actually walking towards him.

"Oh, well this is a surprise…" said Eelektrik. "Never thought I'd see you all here…"

"Consider yourself lucky…" said Espeon with a glare. "I have other things I'd rather do…" she said, grinding against Umbreon's crotch, as he was sitting.

"That wasn't called for, I'm sure he understood you…" Froslass said, folding her arms.

"Well excuse me for having fun…" Espeon said before kissing Umbreon.

"What the hell do you want?" asked Dusclops.

"An alliance…" Eelektrik said.

"An alliance? Really?" asked Bronzor. "That's what you called us for?"

"Yes. I believe that you guys are pretty focused on the game and I believe that it'll be in all of our best interests…" Eelektrik explained.

"Yes, but we also have a bunch of crappy people on each of our teams that want us gone…" said Umbreon. "So, I doubt that this little group will last long…"

"Really? Your mate is a conniving, evil bitch who made it to the finals with everyone hating her and you think that alliances don't work?" asked Dusclops.

"Watch who you're calling a bitch, buddy…" Umbreon growled.

"I hope you know that personalities play a part as well…" said Delcatty. "These morons are so sensitive that if you say anything bad, you're immediately on their 'list'. So, I agree with Umbreon, this won't work…"

"Make yourself look more useful than someone else. It's that simple…" said Eelektrik.

"I say again...PERSONALITIES PLAY A PART AS WELL", Delcatty said. "These idiots won't care even if you're the most useful player. If they don't like who you are, they'll get rid of you anyway…"

"Well you better hope you can change their minds somehow…" said Eelektrik.

"Preposterous…" said Bronzor. "We're the only two who haven't gained any type of hate on our team, well….other than Froslass…"

"I think that's gonna be rising…" said Espeon, causing Froslass to scoff. "Shoulda just been the quiet girl…"

She rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, my point...they have their minds made up to hate them, so it's not gonna change no matter what they do…" said Bronzor. "Only Delcatty has a chance because she's still relatively new…"

"I keep….oh forget it…" Delcatty muttered.

"So, are you all in or not?" Eelektrik asked.

They looked at each other.

"Ugh...fine", said Dusclops. "It won't really do anything, but I guess I'll join to see what happens…"

"Yeah, I've got nothing better to do…" Froslass said, shrugging.

"I guess we can join…" said Umbreon as Espeon nuzzled him. "It's not like anyone's gonna hate us any less if we don't…"

"Whatever…" Bronzor said blankly.

"I might as well as have some allies…" Delcatty said.

"Alright, this is great", said Eelektrik. "We're spread through all of the teams, too, so this'll work perfectly."

"You only have one player from the Raikous and she's their most hated one…" said Froslass. "So you may wanna take away that perfect part."

"Ugh...what the hell?" asked Eelektrik. "We're newcomers and we're pretty inconspicuous at the moment. Well, all of us except Delcatty, but all she has to do is be mature and not retaliate to anything her team may say."

"That's gonna be pretty tough…" said Delcatty.

"If you wanna stay in the game, actually HELP your team instead of hindering them…" Espeon said. "I may hate almost everyone in this game, especially on my team, but that doesn't stop me from actually participating and helping…"

Delcatty groaned.

000

"Yep, I gathered most of the 'evil' or 'serious' players for an alliance…" said Eelektrik. "I may need them to help me get to the merge. But, once I'm there, all bets are off. I just have to make sure that I don't get on anyone's bad side and I'll be fine.

000

"My opinion? Eelektrik is a hack…" said Dusclops. "I'm smart enough to know that he's just gonna use us for his own personal gain and throw us under the bus whenever he can. That's how all noob 'villains' plan, so he gets no points for originality. But I'll admit, he may have a chance since he's trying to hide under the radar."

000

"Of course, get the hated villains in your alliance and then get rid of them whenever the chance arrives…" Umbreon said.

"Sweetie, you weren't even in our season other than those couple of showings…" Espeon reminded.

"I'm your mate...I'm pretty sure that makes me an automatic hated guy, whether I'm new or not…" Umbreon responded, rubbing her nose with his.

"I love you so much…" Espeon said, hopping in his lap and kissing him. She then suddenly regained focused after positioning herself right between his hind legs. "Now, Eelektrik may think we're idiots...but he's surely mistaken. I made it to the finals for a reason and I would have won if I went to the right door...he doesn't know what he's messing with…"

Umbreon pulled her against his chest. "But I sure do…"

Espeon purred.

Luxray and Mightyena, dealing with relationship issues, decided to ask Tyranitar and Typhlosion for advice. They were practically the power couple of the game, so they hoped they could help them out.

"So, what did you guys need?" asked Tyranitar, Typhlosion lying against him while in his lap.

"We just need advice…" Luxray said as Mightyena laid her head on his shoulder.

"Advice about what?" asked Typhlosion. "You guys look fine to me…"

"Yeah, but I think that we may have a new problem…" Luxray explained. "A Manectric-level problem…"

"Is he harassing you guys again?" asked Typhlosion.

"No, no…" Mightyena said immediately. "If that was the case he'd be in a body bag by now…"

"Then what's the issue?" asked Tyranitar.

Luxray sighed. "Pyroar…"

"Pyroar?"

"Yeah, I think he's got a crush on me…" said Luxray.

"Do you THINK he has a crush or do you KNOW he has a crush?" asked Typhlosion, wanting clarification. "Because if you just think he has a crush on you...you may just be in shock and are interpreting things that didn-"

"He rose his ass in my face, he keeps on getting close to me, he whispered something about getting rid of Delcatty, which freaked me out because then it'd just be us two cats on the team…" Luxray listed. "And the way he looks at me and acts around me. Those aren't acts or looks of friendship. That's lust…"

"He rose his ass in your face?" Mightyena asked, not hearing about that part. Luxray only told her about everything else.

"Oh yeah...during the challenge…"

"And why wasn't I told?"

"It's embarrassing!" Luxray exclaimed. "Your ass is the only one I-"

"WHOA!" Typhlosion exclaimed, stopping them. "We don't need to hear that…"

"And we didn't need to hear you last night…" Luxray retorted with a smirk, causing the two to blush.

"So what do you think we should do?" asked Mightyena. "I really don't feel like fighting another guy over my man…"

"I don't even know why the hell guys find me so attractive. Girls, I may get...even though that's hardly happened, but guys? Really? Yes, I'm bi, but that doesn't mean guys are my target!"

"Well, maybe you should just talk to him...WITHOUT Mightyena…" said Tyranitar.

"What? Why?!"

"You don't want him to feel threatened do you?" he responded. "You don't know how he may respond. He may try to fight her or something…."

"Plus, this is between you and him", said Typhlosion. "I've learned by watching drama shows that the current spouse and the wannabe spouse should never be in the same location when the target is trying to let one of them down easy…"

Mightyena groaned. "Fine…"

"Are you sure this'll work?" asked Luxray.

"If it doesn't...ding ding, season 2, round 2, challenger 2…" Tyranitar stated.

Mightyena and Luxray exchanged looks of worry.

000

"Alright, I'm gonna have to talk to Pyroar during the challenge…" said Luxray. "Right now I just want to spend time with Mightyena."

000

Flygon, Altaria, and Drilbur were making their way to the rec center. Yeah, apparently there was a rec center somewhere on this lot, and if that was the case, Drilbur suggested that they go and have some fun after their loss.

"Do you even know where the rec center is?" asked Flygon as he and Altaria were flying over the lot, Drilbur on his back.

"No, that's the point of us looking…" Drilbur said.

Altaria sighed. "Really Drilbur?"

"What?"

Flygon and Altaria started flying down, preparing to land. "Okay, we need directions…" Flygon said, landing.

"And where are we gonna get them?" asked Drilbur, sliding off of his back.

Altaria was walking over to one of the sets and saw a long list of areas with arrows next to them. Looking down the list, she saw 'Recreational Center' and an arrow pointing to the right.

"Guys, I think it's this way", she said, pointing to the right with her wing.

Flygon fluttered towards her with a smile and kissed her cheek. "I love you…."

Altaria blushed with smile. "I love you, too, Flygon…"

Flygon chuckled before looking over the sign himself. "Alright, let's get going…" he said as he and Altaria took flight, albeit not that high, and started flying to the right.

"Hey, what am I chopped liver?" Drilbur asked as he ran after them.

-000-

Altaria and Flygon made it to the rec center, landing at the doors. "Well, that was much easier…" Flygon said as Altaria nodded in agreement. She then looked and saw that Drilbur wasn't with them.

"Um...honey, where's Drilbur?"

Flygon looked around and saw that Drilbur wasn't around. "Really? It was his idea to come and he's not even here?"

"Hey! You guys were the ones who left me!" Drilbur said, popping out of the ground. He climbed out and folded his claws.

"Well, we're here now, so let's just go inside…" Altaria said.

The recreation center was extremely large on the inside opposed to how it looked on the outside. As soon as you walked in, you saw numerous exercise machines. Overhead, there was a running course.

There were a few vending machines near the door.

As you went further back, there was a sauna in one room, and a large pool all the way in the back. There was even a large scale playground in the area behind it.

There was also an indoor basketball court, volleyball court, and tennis court. There were also televisions in the corners of each area.

"Wow, this place is incredible…" Altaria said, looking around.

"Never thought they'd do something nice like this…" said Flygon.

000

Houndoom looked down from the overhead track, and upon seeing them, sighed. How could they have such a decent relationship? The guy had 9 other personalities!

He sighed in disappointment. He just wanted to have a stable relationship where he didn't have to worry about being betrayed. And truth be told...he still had feelings for Absol, but he just couldn't get over her complete 180 just because of something DUSCLOPS said. She was so stupid for that!

Now he had Jolteon and Delphox fawning over him. He was really enjoying the attention...and both girls were hot and sexy respectively, but Absol still tugged at his heart strings. He wanted to get back together with her, but he also didn't due to his perception of her naivety.

He sighed in annoyance and shook his head of his thoughts. He came here to relax, anyway…

However, as Flygon, Altaria, and Drilbur went further in, he heard the door open again and heard a voice that he didn't want to…

"Whoa, this place is awesome already!" Jolteon exclaimed. She looked around and up, and saw Houndoom duck down on the track. She smiled to herself and looked around for a way up.

Houndoom was gonna have to ignore her or somehow get out of there to avoid contact. Once he saw her run forward, he looked down on the floor and gulped. He leapt over the side and was still pretty high up.

He took a deep breath and dropped, whimpering upon landing. He flinched as he got up and attempted to walk, only to limp. His left paw was now sprained thanks to that.

He growled in anger, but sucked it up and dealt with the pain as he made his way out of the rec center. If he could make it back to the apartment and just relax for a bit, maybe his paw would feel better after a while.

"They'd better not call us for a while…" Houndoom muttered. "I'm gonna have to attach an ice pack or something to this thing…" he said, feeling his paw start swelling.

000

Lairon and her alliance were back in the apartment gym. Garchomp was lifting a 250 pound dumbbell in each arm while Charizard watched in amusement. Lairon was running on a treadmill while Haxorus watched her.

Honchkrow and Mandibuzz were watching this with confused expressions.

"Um...does someone mind telling me what the hell's happening right now?" asked Honchkrow.

"Yeah, it's like I'm watching some stupid fetish show…" said Mandibuzz. "The guys are just watching you two work out…"

"I don't know WHY that bastard is just watching me…" Garchomp said as she continued lifting the weights. "He needs to get his own chubby ass in shape…"

"Oh do I?" Charizard asked, folding his arms.

"Yes you do…" Garchomp said, putting down her dumbbells. "Look at you. You've got absolutely no muscle and all fat…" she said, patting his stomach, only for it to barely move. She inaudibly gulped.

"Uh-huh…" Charizard started. "How about a wager?"

Upon hearing those words, Haxorus immediately chuckled to himself. "There he goes again…" he muttered softly so that only Lairon could hear.

"What do you mean?" she asked as she stopped running, allowing the treadmill to slide her off of it.

"You'll see…" Haxorus said.

"A wager, huh?" Garchomp asked. "And what are the stakes?"

"How about...if I'm able to lift more than you...you go on a date with me…" Charizard stated.

Garchomp blushed and growled angrily. There was no way in hell she was gonna go on a date with this bastard! His snarky attitude really pissed her off!

"No way!"

"So...you refuse? You must know that you're not strong enough…" Charizard stated, egging her on. He was met by a swift punch in the stomach by her. He flinched slightly before giving her a toothy grin, seeing that he got to her.

"I'm NOT weak…" she growled. "And I know for a fact that I can kick your ass any day of the week! I have the type advantage, Mega advantage, and the strength advantage…"

"Then prove it…" Charizard said, getting in her face with a smile. "And accept the bet…"

Garchomp wanted to snap his neck. "Fine...but if I win...you have to admit that I'm better than you, and never interact with me again. Don't talk, touch, or fucking look at me."

"Um, that's gonna be hard if he's gonna be in the alliance", Honchkrow brought up.

Garchomp growled. "Fine, you could still be in the alliance, just don't talk to me at ALL…"

"Deal…" Charizard responded, folding his arms.

"Well, I have to admit, this is gonna be interesting…" Mandibuzz said.

Charizard looked over to Haxorus and gave him a wink, causing the Axe Jaw Pokemon to shake his head with a chuckle.

-000-

Garchomp lifted up one of the 250 pound dumbbells with one arm. "Bet you can't lift one of these…"

Charizard easily lifted not one, but two, of the dumbbells with ease. Garchomp scoffed before dropping the dumbbell in her claw and moved on to the 500 pound weights. She lifted two of those, struggling a tiny bit.

Charizard smirked and walked towards her before picking her up with ease as she still held the 1000 pounds.

Garchomp growled and struggled a bit before being put down.

She then immediately kicked Charizard in the groin, causing him to flinch and groan a bit.

Garchomp then moved on to 1000 pound dumbbells. She could barely lift one of them with one arm. She got it 3 feet off the ground before promptly dropping it.

Charizard smirked. He moved over to the dumbbells and lifted two of them with ease, making him the winner.

"Well, looks like you'll be going on a date with him", Lairon laughed.

Garchomp growled angrily, but she couldn't really get mad. She let him play her and get her to agree. She sighed. "Fine…"

Charizard nodded, a smile no longer on his face.

000

"I honestly thought she'd have more fight. I know that she doesn't like me for whatever reason, but...I guess we'll find out why when we go on the date…" Charizard said.

000

Ursaring had asked, or rather told Cubchoo and Pangoro to meet him back at the craft services tent. He had threatened both of them, and while Pangoro had some resistance, Cubchoo went along with it almost instantly out of fright.

After a few minutes of waiting, he got extremely angered and was about to hunt them down, but luckily for them, they showed up.

"Good. I was about to find you and beat your-"

"Cut the crap", Pangoro said, cutting him off. "What the hell do you want?"

"What the hell do you think I want?" Ursaring growled, folding his arms.

"I don't know", Pangoro said. "I know damn well you don't expect me to be in an alliance with you…"

"And why is that?" asked Ursaring.

"Because your attitude is shit and I don't partner with noobs…" Pangoro said.

"You're gonna do it today…" said Ursaring.

"I understand why you chose me, but why the hell did you choose the pipsqueak?" asked Pangoro, gesturing to Cubchoo.

Cubchoo was blushing and shaking in fear.

"Because...we're bears...and I want us to stick together and help each other…" Ursaring said.

Pangoro facepalmed. "That's gotta be the dumbest reason I've ever heard. Just because we're bears doesn't mean shit…"

"Yeah, and...no offense, but I don't think this'll work since nobody likes or cares about either of you…" Cubchoo said. "They'll just vote you out early just because you're jerks…"

"Who are you calling a jerk!?" both of the growled, frightening the girl and causing her to shriek and fall on her butt.

"I'm sorry!" she said, covering her head while cowering.

"Well you oughta be, you little bitch", Ursaring growled. "Maybe I shouldn't have chosen you at all. I mean, you're not even fully evolved…"

Cubchoo looked down in sadness.

"Just get outta here…" said Pangoro, shooing her away.

"And if you dare to tell anyone, you're guaranteed bear chow…" Ursaring growled.

Cubchoo immediately ran off, leaving the two alone.

"So are you in or not?" Ursaring asked with a glare.

Pangoro groaned. "Fine. I don't have any other allies anyway…"

"Alright good…" Ursaring said. "And if you ever-"

"Save your breath", Pangoro said, cutting him off again. "I'm not scared of you or your threats…"

Ursaring glared at him.

"CAMPERS! MEET US AT THE APARTMENTS FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE!"

000

Everyone was back in front of the apartments, some looking more hurt than others.

"Alright, we're not even gonna ask why some of you look like you've been beaten…" said Suicune.

"Anyway, the next challenge is based off the movie...Up!" said Raikou.

"The movie about the flying house?" asked Zangoose.

"Precisely…" said Raikou.

"Now, this challenge will consist of two parts, like last challenge…" said Entei. "Only this time, you

all will be doing the same thing…"

"Wow, someone's in a good mood today", Drilbur saw. "Did you finally get laid?"

"I'm not obligated to tell you that…" Entei said, glaring at him.

"Obligated…" Raikou muttered inaudibly with a glare, making Entei to smirk.

"Anyway", Suicune said, gaining their attention. "Your first challenge is to lift your apartments off of the ground."

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed.

"These things must weigh over a ton!" Braviary exclaimed. "There's no way we can do that!"

"That's why it's a race AND you'll be given the materials that you need", said Entei. "The first team to lift their apartment off of the ground will win and get an advantage in the second challenge!"

"Now, each team will be given 250 balloons, string, and tape", Raikou explained. "That is enough to lift your apartments off of the ground. And because the Enteis won the last challenge, their reward…"

A Watchog intern wheeled a helium tank over to them.

"Whoa whoa whoa, that's bullshit!" Skuntank exclaimed. "They already got the best breakfast! They don't get another-"

"Pipe down…" said Entei. "Each team is getting something that'll help them."

As he said that, a Gumshoos wheeled an oxygen tank over, followed by a Diggersby carrying an air pump over.

"Let me guess...we get the bike pump, right?" asked Luxray.

"Shouldn't have lost the last challenge~" Suicune said with a smile.

"And how are we gonna do this with one of these each?" asked Espeon. "We'll be here all day!"

"Maybe we will, maybe we won't", said Raikou. "It's all up to how you work together…"

"Oh no...this is one of those teamwork lesson challenges that's simpler than it looks isn't it?" asked Farfetch'd.

"Um...no", said Raikou. "You just have to be smart…"

"Now, grab your pumps and get to work!"

Tyranitar begrudgingly grabbed the air pump and immediately, the handle fell off.

"Good luck, losers", said Ursaring as he rolled his team's helium tank toward the door.

Pangoro grabbed his team's oxygen tank before moving to his own team's apartment.

000

"Alright, we're screwed…" said Pyroar. "We got a fucking bike pump and they get canisters…"

"Hey, maybe we can make the best out of this…" said Delibird, touching the pump, only for the handle to fall off again.

"You were saying?" asked Gothitelle. "Say whatever you want, but we're in a terrible position…"

"Is there any other way for us to inflate these other than using this crappy pump?" asked Drilbur.

"If Sawsbuck was still here, we could just use her", said Delcatty. "Her brain was always full of hot air…"

"Yeah and so is your breath…" Noibat retorted.

Delcatty growled, but kept her retort to herself. She shouldn't have said anything at all.

"Hmm, no retort…" Tyranitar said. "That's a step in the right direction…"

Delcatty just sighed.

Alright, does anyone have any other ideas?" asked Spheal, who was already bouncing on the pump to blow up one of the balloons.

"Huh, it's actually working…" said Luxray, shocked.

"Surprisingly", said Typhlosion, folding her arms.

Spheal bounced once more and the balloon shot off of the pump and started flying around the foyer like crazy, knocking over plants and magazines before landing on Shellder's top shell.

"Well, it was good while it lasted…" said Flygon. "Maybe this time, someone can grab it when it gets that big and tie it with the string."

"And who better equipped than who just suggested…" said Blissey.

"Any one of us with working hands…" Flygon said, moving his claws. "So, that's gonna be including you…"

"This is gonna take all day", said Spiritomb. "I'm not looking forward to this…"

000

"Alright, we have an oxygen tank...so this is going to be utterly worthless…" said Lairon.

"Hey, you don't know…" said Skuntank.

"Um...oxygen tanks are just used to give people oxygen…" Eelektrik said. "So no, she's actually correct. This thing is worthless…"

"We use carbon dioxide to manually blow up balloons anyway…" Leafeon said softly. "I don't see the difference if we use oxygen…"

"My point exactly!" Skuntank exclaimed. "It's the same thing…"

"Instead of arguing about it, why don't we just try it out and see…" said Honchkrow. "I mean, they gave it to us for a reason…"

"I think that's assurance that this thing can work…" said Mismagius. "The other teams got a helium tank and a bicycle air pump, pretty sure that means that-"

"Alright alright, we get it!" Gulpin exclaimed. "Just shove the hose in a balloon already!"

Dewott went ahead and hooked up a balloon to the hose of the tank. He turned the valve and the balloon began to inflate.

"Well what do you know, we were right!" Skuntank said.

Tepig sneezed, releasing hot smoke that caused the balloon to explode. Not pop, EXPLODE.

The explosion didn't cause the whole building to blow up or anything, but the foyer had a miniature crater in the center of it and a few of the others who were in close radius were blown back from the blast.

"Ugh...that was terrible…" said Garchomp before seeing that she was clinging to Charizard. She growled and pushed him away.

"Okay, can we just make sure Tepig is far away from the balloons…." said Bronzor. "That'd be great…"

"Sorry guys…" Tepig said sheepishly.

"No, there's no need for you to apologize", said Manectric. "Oxygen can explode when there's enough heat…"

"Then how come no fire types have blown up the world, genius?" Pangoro countered.

"Okay someone really needs to smack him for asking that idiotic question…" said Vaporeon

Milotic promptly slapped Pangoro, sending him to the ground.

"Very effective…" Mandibuzz laughed.

"So we pretty much have explosive balloons", said Gligar. "How wonderful…"

"As long as we keep flame tail and smoke snot away from them, we should be fine…" said Bronzor.

"Let's just try this again…" said Shieldon. "And let's hope BACON ASSFUCK COCK SUCK-"

Gligar covered his mouth, letting the fossil sigh. "Mmph…"

"What?"

Gligar moved his claw from Shieldon's mouth.

"I said thanks…"

Dewott went ahead and set up another balloon.

000

The Enteis already had 8 balloons filled and were just sitting around trying to pass the time. Quilladin was the only one doing it while the others loafed around or left to do other things. Breloom and Cherrim were the only ones actually keeping him company.

"This is so fucking annoying…" Quilladin muttered as he sat and did all of the work for his team.

"Which part?" asked Cherrim. "The inflation or-"

"All of it!" Quilladin exclaimed. "Hardly anyone here acknowledges my existence and they still barely do!"

"I think that's a bit of an exaggeration…" said Breloom. "We acknowledge you, and so do your friends on the other team…"

"What the hell are you two doing?!" Ursaring growled, stomping over. "Less talking and more working!"

"We're getting to it!" Cherrim exclaimed.

"You'd better be or I'll rip you a new one!" Ursaring threatened before walking out.

"Y'see that!" Quilladin exclaimed. "I'M the one doing the work, but he yells at you two and completely ignores me! The only time he acknowledged me was when I fell off the bus coming here and he stepped on me!"

"Maybe he saw you and was just telling us to work with you…" Breloom said. "You don't have to think so pessimistic about yourself…"

"I don't think, I know!" Quilladin said, rising angrily before just plopping back down. "Maybe I should just forget it and embrace my life as an unnoticed floater. Maybe I'll actually win", he joked.

"Hey, as long as we're here, you can be sure that that ain't happening…" Breloom said with a wink, causing Quilladin to chuckle.

Cherrim saw how the two were interacting and gained a smirk. "Aw...young love. Isn't it precious?"

Both of them immediately froze, with Quilladin releasing a balloon that he was inflating, causing it to deflate and drop to the floor.

"Whoa whoa whoa, love?" Breloom asked, trying her best to hide her blush. "I'm sorry Cherrim, but that love at first sight crap isn't true. It's all just based on placebo and looks…r-right?"

"Of course!" Quilladin replied before rubbing the back of his head. "I mean, we barely know each other and the only reason we're interacting is because others have their own groups or their own things to do…"

"Keep telling yourselves that…" said Cherrim as she walked out of the apartment, leaving the two alone in the foyer.

Quilladin rolled his eyes. "I don't know if she thinks that leaving the two of us alone will do anything, but…"

"I know right…" said Aylesha. "Like you said, we barely know each other…"

"Yeah. And I doubt you'd wanna be with someone like me anyway…"

"Of course...I mean, wait, what?" Aylesha asked, shocked to hear that. "What do you mean?"

"I mean...look at me", Quilladin said. "I'm chubby, barely noticed, I'm allergic to peanuts, I'm called a nerd by the negative people who notice me...seriously. Who wants a guy with those kinds of credentials?"

"Well...not all girls are against that…" Breloom said.

"I'm not saying that all girls are against it or anything. I'm just saying that based off of my own personal experience", said Quilladin. "Hell, no offense to them, but not even the geeky girls that no guy ever wants to fuck will seek interest in me. And they go for anything!"

"It can't be that bad, Quill…" Breloom said. "You'll find someone one day…"

"I doubt it, but thanks…" said Quilladin as he put the balloon that fell on the ground back on the nozzle.

Breloom frowned a bit.

000

Breloom: What's the matter with him? There's nothing wrong with him. We all have flaws! I just don't see why he makes it seems like he's undesirable. I'm sure any girl would want to be with him...

000

As the others worried about the pump and inflating the balloons, Luxray went ahead and started talking to Pyroar, pulling him to the side to do so.

"What's up, cutie?" Pyroar asked with a seductive expression.

"Uh…" Luxray started, a bit caught off guard from him saying that. "Look, I'm very flattered that you're interested in me, but...I'm with Mightyena. I really love her, and...I don't think things will be very straightforward and cool between us if this continued…"

Pyroar was just staring at him with a straight face. Luxray was getting rather uncomfortable.

"Um...if I hurt your-"

"I want you…"

"Wait, what?"

"I...want...you…" Pyroar said taking a step forward, making Luxray take a step back.

"Pyroar, look. I said I'm already with Mightyena", Luxray said. "We love each other and we don't want anything to-"

"I...want...you…" Pyroar repeated, rather aggressively this time, getting nose-to-nose with Luxray.

Luxray needed his personal space. He didn't like other males or females getting this close unless he was dating them, so he growled and moved away.

"Listen to me…" he growled. "I love Mightyena and I'm willing to fight for our relationship. So you either leave me alone...or-"

Pyroar pounced on him, pinning him down with a glare. Luxray was shocked, but glared back and used Thunderbolt, which seemed to do nothing!

"What the-" he was cut off of by Pyroar kissing him, him fighting back and letting off more sparks and shocks in protest.

"Luxray...Luxray…"

-000-

"LUXRAY!"

The lion yelled in fear as he woke up from his brief slumber. He panted heavily before looking around and growling upon seeing Pyroar.

He got up and immediately started running towards him with a murderous look in his eye. Pyroar, seeing this, immediately backed away and started running while screaming.

"WHAT'D I DO?! WHAT'D I DO?!" Pyroar yelled as he ran.

"Luxray! Calm down!" Flygon called.

They weren't getting through to him, so Tyranitar walked over as Pyroar ran past and grabbed Luxray.

"What the hell is up with you?" he asked. "Why're you trying to hurt Pyroar? He hasn't done anything…"

Luxray panted. "No, no no...h-he's just like Manectric. I try to explain and let him down easy, but...he forced himself on me. He needs to PAY!"

"CALM DOWN!" Blissey said, smacking him, causing others to wince at the sound.

"Pyroar hasn't done anything like that…" said Meganium. "You were just dreaming…"

Luxray's panting slowed down and he looked at Pyroar, who was now hiding behind Typhlosion out of slight fear.

He made a mistake. He looked down. "Okay, okay...you can put me down now…"

"You sure? Or do we need to give Pyroar a head start?"

"No...it's fine", Luxray responded. "Actually...I want to really talk with him. NO VIOLENCE INVOLVED."

"Yeah I don't know if I trust that…" Farfetch'd. "Remember the bedpost?"

"Manectric brought that on himself…" Luxray said, rolling his eyes. "And this is different. He hasn't really done anything on the same level as Manectric…"

"I'm confused. What exactly is Manectric level again?" asked Tropius.

"Unwanted sexual contact, fighting his girlfriend, never leaving him alone…."

"Stalking me outside of the game…" Luxray muttered.

"Oh...yeah that's bad…"

Hearing all of that, Pyroar immediately started feeling bad. He didn't want to cause Luxray problems of that nature, but he was causing him to think that he was…

"So Pyroar, do you mind?" asked Luxray as he started walking to the elevator.

Pyroar nodded and followed.

"Let's see if he comes back alive…" Noibat said.

-000-

The two of them stood in silence while in the elevator, Pyroar being a bit away from Luxray.

Once back in their room, Luxray sat on his bed and Pyroar sat on his.

"Look…before you start…" Pyroar said. "I just wanna say that I'm sorry. I mean, I wasn't trying to come between you and Mightyena or anything…"

"I understand…" Luxray said. "But, you need to understand that I feel a bit uncomfortable when you do that. I only like attention like that when I'm dating someone, so if we were dating, I'd be fine with it…"

Pyroar purred. "Good to know…"

Luxray chuckled. "So yeah, I'd like for us to still be friends...and maybe lighten up on the flirting a bit. I don't really mind it unless there's full contact or you're too close…"

Pyroar smirked. "What about Mightyena?"

"She doesn't care as long as I don't act, which I won't…" Luxray said. "Get that straight…"

"You mean, bi?"

"Ha ha.." Luxray said, rolling his eyes.

Pyroar chuckled. "Well, uh...I know this is probably gonna be a 'no', but...could I...kiss you once? Just so I know what I'm missing out on…"

Luxray mentally screamed and cursed in his head. "FUCK MY LIFE! WHY AM I SO HOT TO THESE PEOPLE?!"

Luxray took a deep breath. "Fine, but just this on-"

He didn't even get to finish as Pyroar pounced on him and locked their lips together. After about fifteen seconds, Pyroar broke it, panting.

"Wow...that was...amazing…" he said between breaths.

"Yeah….Mightyena says that a lot…" Luxray said. "Now...get off of me!"

Pyroar jumped up quickly with a sheepish look. "Sorry...got a little carried away."

"I can see that…" Luxray chuckled. "And thank you for taking this so well…"

"No prob…" Pyroar said with a smile.

000

"Well. Looks like me and Luxray aren't happening any time soon…" Pyroar said disappointedly. "On the bright side, I can still keep teasing him while I'm at it. Maybe we could have a bit of a bromance...that way things aren't that weird."

"And, that also means...Vaporeon...I'm headed your way, so get ready~"

000

Lairon and her alliance went back up to the gym. With Dewott handling the balloons, they had more time to plan what they were going to do.

"Alright, so what's the plan for this challenge?" asked Garchomp.

"Um...what do you mean?" asked Honchkrow.

"She means are we gonna do anything to possibly ensure our win…" Lairon explained.

"And what is there to do exactly?" asked Mandibuzz. "Each team has balloons, they're just filled with different types of gas…"

"Exactly. There's no point in doing anything", Honchkrow said. "Plus, the Raikou have a freaking air pump. Regular air can't make balloons stay afloat."

"Then...how are our balloons floating?" asked Garchomp, folding her arms. "Oxygen is regular air for the most part…"

"Maybe our oxygen tank has a mixture or something…" Charizard said, shrugging.

"Could be…" said Lairon.

"Anyways…" Garchomp said, moving on. "Back to the challenge. The Enteis are gonna have a big lead over us, so we need to make sure they fail…"

"And how are we gonna do that, darling?" Charizard asked, folding his arms.

"Don't...call me darling…" Garchomp growled, making Charizard sneer. "And we can do it by sabotaging their tank or popping their balloons…"

"How would we sabotage anything if we're still here?" asked Mandibuzz. "Seems like a poor idea. Especially if it's guarded…"

"Easy explanation...we get Mismagius to do it", Garchomp said confidently.

"And you really think she'd be willing to do that?" asked Lairon.

"She'd better be if she wants to be known as an asset to the team…"

"And did you ask her yet?" Haxorus queried.

"No. I don't know where she goes when she's alone…"

Charizard sighed. "I'll be back…" he said as he opened the window and flew out.

"And why didn't he just use the elevator?" asked Mandibuzz.

"He's a showoff loser who doesn't make sense…" said Garchomp. "That's why…"

Both Haxorus and Lairon exchanged smirks. She was acting just like how Lairon used to.

-000-

Charizard landed back in the doors of the apartment, where he saw Dewott still inflating the balloons. Along with Dewott, he saw Vaporeon, Skuntank, and...Mismagius. He recalled the four of them going together during orientation and figured that they would stick together.

For some reason that was always the way these series worked.

"Mismagius, can we talk?" Charizard asked.

She, Skuntank and Vaporeon were confused; he'd never really spoken with any of them before. Dewott gave him a wary glare before refocusing on inflating the balloons.

"Um...sure", Mismagius said. He walked to the side as the others began questioning this.

"What's this about?" asked Vaporeon. "He hardly ever speaks to anyone other than the ones he's always with…"

"He barely speaks to them, alone…" said Skuntank.

"Well, I don't know", said Mismagius. "Guess that's the point of going, huh?"

She floated outside and met up with the winged fire lizard. "So what did you want?"

"Garchomp wants you to sneak into the Entei's apartments and sabotage their tanks. Pretty much make sure they don't have enough balloons…" Charizard explained.

"Ooh...well, Skuntank pretty much had that same idea and was gonna go do it when you came down…"

"Oh, well that's great", said Charizard. "Get to it, then…"

"Riiight…"

"OMA! Are you sure you're alright!?" Absol exclaimed, holding Houndoom's swelling paw.

"Um, I'm pretty sure you holding it is only going to make it worse, so I suggest you leave it alone…" said Delphox.

"Leave me alone…"

"Hey, she's just telling you that you may make it worse holding it like that", said Jolteon. "Just put it down…"

Absol sighed and released his paw.

"Am I free to go now?" he asked as if he was being held prisoner.

"Yeah…" said Jolteon. "You're not a prisoner or anything, you know…"

"You have no idea how wrong you are…" Houndoom thought before limping toward the elevator.

"Remember to keep it elevated and iced!" Absol called.

Houndoom didn't respond as he entered the elevator. As the ding was heard and the doors closed, Absol sighed.

"Have you ever thought that you're being too desperate?" asked Froslass. "I'm pretty sure he's tired of you acting clingy…"

"Of course I'm desperate!" Absol exclaimed, her voice breaking. "I want my boyfriend back!"

"He's not your boyfriend anymore…" Delphox reminded.

"That doesn't matter!" Absol yelled. "I was there for him first!"

"And you blew it…" said Froslass. "So now they have opportunities as well since he's ignoring you…"

Absol glared at her as well as the other two. "He's mine…"

"He's free; you can't claim him anymore…" said Jolteon.

"Yes I can...and I do…"

"We'll see how long that lasts", said Delphox.

Absol glared.

000

"I don't know who those two bitches think they are, but they are NOT taking Houndoom away from me!" Absol growled.

000

Houndoom made it onto his floor, where he immediately heard bumps and moans coming from the floor above them.

"Um...what the hell is going on?" asked Houndoom. "Or do I want to know?"

"Umbreon decided that it'd be appropriate during this time to take Espeon up there and uh…'bury his bone'", Zebstrika said.

"Okay, I didn't want to know. Great…"

"So how's your paw?" Wooper asked, watching as the hellhound limped towards his own bed.

Houndoom winced as he tried putting actual pressure on it; the pain was too great, so he just got back into his former position.

"It still hurts to fully walk on…" Houndoom explained before hopping on his bed.

"How did things go with the girls?" asked Metagross.

"The way you'd expect when you have three girls who want you and one instigator…" Houndoom said wryly.

Another bump was heard, followed by a long moan.

"I'm uncomfortable now…" said Swirlix.

"Yeah…" Braviary said. "I think we should either go back to the foyer or just leave…"

"Yeah...let's get outta here…" said Wooper.

Most of the guys started heading to the elevators, while Metagross, Braviary, with Wooper on his back, and Swirlix flew out via the window.

Houndoom, not wanting to injure his paw any further, sighed and looked around for the TV remote, hoping to drown out the sounds of love making coming from above.

-000-

"Are you two horndogs done yet?" Dusclops asked he read a book while facing a corner of the gym.

"A-ah…" Espeon hissed with a smile before kissing Umbreon, who she was on top of. "I love you…"

"I love you, too…" Umbreon replied, locking their lips together again.

"You two are sickening…" Dusclops said as he closed his book and made it vanish. "Now, are we gonna discuss this alliance thing or are you two gonna go for round three?"

Espeon purred as she turned around and Umbreon sat up, wrapping his arms around her waist. "And what are we discussing?" asked Umbreon. "We already know that Eelektrik is full of shit. He knows that he's not gonna be loyal to the alliance."

"Yes, which is why I propose that we try to screw the Suicunes over and knock out either him or Bronzor…" Dusclops said.

"I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard…" Espeon said. "Let's just stay with this alliance for a while and fulfill his requests a few times, but also do our own things…"

"I second that…" Umbreon said with a smile, moving up a bit, making Espeon squeak with a blush.

"Okay, can you disconnect please? This is too disturbing for me," Dusclops asked, closing his eye.

Espeon scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Fine…"

After a few seconds, Dusclops opened his eye again, now seeing Espeon on flat ground and Umbreon sitting behind her with his head resting on her shoulder.

"Better…" said Dusclops. "And I semi-agree. Doing our own plans are much more effective, but if we're gonna be in the alliance...I guess we can honor a few of his ideas…"

"Good…" said Espeon. "Now we just have to make sure that our team wins and doesn't go to elimination…"

000

"Hey, he's alive, that's great!" Flygon said as Luxray and Pyroar returned from the elevator.

"I wouldn't be talking if I were you…" said Luxray. "You're the one with two murderous personalities…"

"Touche'..."

"And Farfetch'd, you still controlling that PTSD?"

"Hardy har har…"

"Exactly…" Luxray said.

"Yeah, we're all good", said Pyroar, side bumping him. "So how're the balloons coming?"

"Awfully…" said Gothitelle. "They're inflating, but this stupid pump keeps breaking…"

"Well have you tried teleporting one here or swapping ours for one of the other teams'?" asked Delcatty.

Everyone stared at her for a while. Did she...just give a good idea?

"That's...actually smart", said Spiritomb.

Delcatty wanted to exclaim her disbeliefs, but she needed to keep them stable. She just nodded.

"Well, we have three players who are psychic or ghost-type, so this should be a cinch", said Lanturn.

"I don't think that'll go over so well…" said Delibird. "If the hosts find out, we're toast...and I don't like toast."

"If they didn't want us to do it, they would have told us…" said Drilbur. "This shitty pump is just a set back. And Raikou did say be smart…"

"Okay, how about this…" said Shellder. "Instead of just getting the tanks...they just inflate the balloons!"

"That's extra smart!" Spheal exclaimed. "All this time we've been doing this when we just could have had them all done in a flash…"

"It takes a while to get good ideas…" said Typhlosion. "And now that we've got one...we're all set."

Gothitelle waved her arms as two pink rectangles appeared. She pushed them forward and the bag of balloons burst as all of the balloons emerged out it at the same time, all of them inflated with helium.

"And now we can go and make sure that the other team has a poor time…" Noibat said with a smirk.

000

"The deed is done…" Mismagius said as she floated back into the Suicune's apartments.

"Good, now they won't be able to finish in time…" Vaporeon said. "Wait...was there even a time limit to this?"

"5 MINUTES LEFT!"

"Of fucking course…" Skuntank muttered before turning to Dewott. "How many have we got done?"

Dewott shrugged before pointing a lot of balloons floating near the couches.

"Well, that's a lot, but how many are left?"

Dewott tossed her the bag and she caught it in her mouth. She dropped it and looked at it before seeing that there were about twenty or so left.

"Shoot! We need to hurry!" Skuntank exclaimed. "We need all of these…"

"Howdy partners…" they heard as they turned around and saw Grovyle, Servine, Goodra, and Zangoose enter. They gained wary looks. "How's it going with them balloons?" Grovyle asked.

"We still have like twenty that need to be done…"

"And only under five minutes to do so...:" said Mismagius.

"Well uh...did you try to use any attacks or abilities to help you out?" asked Goodra.

"What do you mean?" asked Mismagius.

"Like...ever thought of using Honchkrow and Mandibuzz to blow wind into them?" asked Goodra. "Or using your ethereal-ghostly abilities to inflate them instantly?"

The girls stared in shock and disappointment. How had they not thought of that? And why the hell was the other team giving them advice?

"See, this is why we need actually smart people to stick around and tell us good ideas. That way we don't waste time with bullshit…" said Vaporeon.

Dewott continued what he was doing, ignoring the conversation that was happening. He had gotten this far, and his arms were cramping, but he was completely okay with it.

"Um...Dewott, you can stop now", said Servine. "You're gonna finish this the quick way…"

Dewott shrugged and continued what he was doing. He still had three more balloons beside him that needed to be inflated.

"Well, he's on his own", said Zangoose.

"Yeah, we have a bag of the remaining ones, and we're wasting time talking about it", said Skuntank. "Let's just go for it. Mismagius?"

"I'll go get the others…" Mismagius said. "I have no idea how to do things like rapid balloon inflation…"

"Hurry!" Servine exclaimed.

"And for safety purposes, we're gonna take off", said Grovyle. "We don't wanna hear any exclamations of anger from any of yer other team members…"

"Alright...well, thanks. I guess", said Vaporeon.

They started to leave, and Dewott walk towards the girls, his arms folded in disapproval.

"Well, that was nice of them…" said Skuntank. "Though, I don't see why they'd screw their own team considering their helium tank is busted…"

"Maybe they don't know", said Vaporeon. "Mismagius came back rather quickly, so maybe they weren't there…"

"Good point…"

They still had noticed his presence behind him, so she tapped both of them on the back, getting their attention.

"What's wrong, Dewott?"

He didn't speak, so he instead started doing actions. He pointed to their oxy-helium tank and gave a thumbs up before pointing to the floating balloons.

"Okay...the tank is good…"

Dewott nodded and started flapping his arms like a bird. He shook his head and got a balloon from the bag on the floor. He blew it up with his mouth and quickly tied it up before dropping it, making it fall on the floor.

The girls actually understood him. The helium actually helped the balloons float, but using Honchkrow and Mandibuzz to blow up the balloons wouldn't make them float like they should!

"Those pricks!" Vaporeon growled, looking at the door. "They fucking lied!"

"I should've guessed…" Skuntank muttered.

Mismagius came back without them. "They said it didn't make any sense."

"Ugh...we just lost more time because of that…"

000

"Well, the Suicunes are done…" said Zangoose with a smile. "We just told them some bullshit about using the birds to blow them up…"

"And they actually believed it!" Servine laughed.

"Well that ain't gonna do any good considering Quilladin and Breloom fucked up our helium tank…"

"I keep telling you!" Quilladin exclaimed. "The tank rose up and hit me in the head!"

"And you expect us to believe that?" Ursaring growled. "You're lucky I'm trying not to tear you apart!"

"How generous…" Breloom said sarcastically. "But seriously, it's not our fault! How the hell would the thing even get on his head unless he rammed himself into it?"

"Hmm...you have a point there…" said Wooper.

"No they don't", said Ursaring. "They were the only two here and the tank got busted. They did it, case closed. And if we lose, one or both of you is outta here."

"Maybe you should calm down", said Goodra. "You've barely done anything to benefit the team. Period. At least they actually participated in something…"

"And what exactly did you fucks do?" he asked. "You lied to the other team in the last five minutes of the the challenge and expect that to make make a difference? At least I haven't done anything negative to cost the team!"

"Other than your negative personality and your bullshit 'Do what I say or else' attitude…"

"THAT'S NOT AFFECTING ANYTHING!"

"Look, how about we agree to disagree...these two are the only culprits thus far…" Braviary started. "But that doesn't mean that they automatically are guilty. Like Breloom said, unless he rammed into it purposely, how did it get on his head and stuck on his ears?"

"Look, we still have a crap ton of balloons to inflate and only-"

"TIME IS UP!"

"Oh you have got to be kidding me…"

000

Everyone reported back outside, the Raikous looking very proud and accomplished as opposed to the other two teams. And for good reason.

"So, how'd it go?" asked Entei.

"The fatass and mushroom screwed us over and we didn't finish inflating the balloons!" Ursaring growled.

"WHAT?!" Entei exclaimed with a glare.

"It WASN'T OUR FAULT!" Breloom and Quilladin exclaimed.

"Did any of you actually inflate all of the balloons?" asked Suicune.

"We almost did, but the Enteis lied and wasted our time…" Skuntank said, passing an angry glare towards the Enteis.

"Not helping anything, huh?" Goodra retorted, making Ursaring mutter under his breath.

"And we actually finished…" said Tyranitar with a smile, causing the other teams to look in shock.

"You were actually able to pull off pumping up 250 balloons with a shitty pump?" asked Dusclops. "I find that hard to believe…"

"Es imposible…" Hawlucha said, folding his arms.

"Two ghost-types and a psychic-type…" Clawitzer said. "Usin' 'em t' an advantage is mandatory, lads…"

The Enteis glared at Espeon and Dusclops.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what're you glaring at us for?" Espeon asked. "Froslass, Delphox, and Metagross all have the same capabilities of me and Dusclops!"

"But aren't you veterans supposed to be the ones coming up with the great plans?" asked Cherrim. "Looks like you two are just one-trick Ponyta…"

"Watch yourself, blossom…" Umbreon snarled.

"Alright, it's time to see how high these balloons can raise your apartments…" said Suicune.

"There's no point!" Gligar exclaimed. "If the Raikous have all of their balloons inflated, their apartment is gonna have a bigger chance!"

"Uh...did any of you read the labels on the bags?" asked Raikou. "The balloons are able to be inflated to 5 feet in diameter…"

Everyone stared at the three of them.

Raikou sighed. "Let this be a lesson to you. Always read what we give you…"

"Now, let's see how this goes…" Entei said through grit teeth.

-000-

All of the inflated balloons were attached to each of the teams' respective apartment. Nothing was happening with any of them, as none of them were really inflated to their highest level.

"Well, this is bogus…" said Milotic.

"None of you inflated them to their highest level…"

"We didn't know, dammit!" Metagross exclaimed.

"And because you didn't know, none of these apartments will be going anywhere…" said Raikou. "Great…"

"Well can we just get the win since we got the most balloons inflated?" asked Tropius.

"No way!" Garchomp exclaimed. "That wasn't the challenge! The challenge is to get the apartments to float!"

"None of them are floating, so I'd rather have none of us win", said Zebstrika. "At least we'll all have a fair chance…"

"I agree, Zebstrika…" said Raikou. "None of the teams completed the challenge, so none of you get the advantage in the next challenge…"

Everyone groaned.

"Yeah, it sucks, but let's move on…" said Raikou. "To the birdcage!"

"Wait what?"

000

A symbol with Raikou's, Entei's, and Suicune's faces moved toward the camera with a spinning background behind it.

000

Everyone was at a set that had a large birdcage prop. Inside of it were four different birds. One was red and black, one was yellow and white, one was pink, and the last was purple and blue.

"Uh...what's with the Oricorio?" asked Leafeon.

"This is your next challenge", said Suicune. "Up is not only about flying houses, it's also about adventure; in particular, it deals with finding an exotic bird in a jungle-like area…"

"BUT, instead of a jungle area, you'll be looking for these guys in the lot", said Raikou. "And since there are four of them, the team who finds two of them will win."

"What happens if the other teams only have one each, then?" asked Manectric.

"Then whichever team after the first captures three out of four of them will get second place", Entei explained. "But, if two teams each find two, the team with no birds automatically go to elimination…"

"Now, we're gonna give the birds a two minute head-start to get as far away as they can", Raikou explained as he opened the cage, allowing the Oricorio to fly out in different directions. "Be warned, they know what you're doing and they will fight back…"

"Great…" Meganium said, rolling her eyes.

After a while, the teams were able to go after them.

"Alright...GO!"

The Raikous and Enteis left immediately. The Suicunes were about to follow suit, but Dewott grabbed Skuntank's right hind leg, stopping her.

"What is it, Dewott? We have to hurry and find-"

Dewott pointed upwards. Skuntank looked up and her eyes widened in shock.

The Pa'u Style Oricorio was resting on a light fixture, uncaring about the position it was in.

"H-How did you know that it was there?" asked Skuntank.

Dewott winked in response before using Aqua Jet, launching himself upwards, hitting himself on the head on the pole the fixtures were hanging from. He groaned with a smirk before panting a bit and clearing his head of his thoughts.

He grabbed the Oricorio before heading back down with it, knocking it out in the process.

He held the unconscious pink bird under his arm like a textbook. He looked back at Skuntank.

Skuntank had a dreamy look on her face, the tip of her tail moving up and down. Dewott sweatdropped before clearing his throat and walking past her to try and catch up to the team.

Skuntank snapped out of her daze and followed him out.

000

"Why is he so hot when he does things like that?!" asked Skuntank. "I've gotta get him to talk to me!"

000

"Alright, where the hell are we going to look for these things?" asked Farfetch'd as their team stopped in front of their apartment.

"We'll just have to search the entire lot…" Tropius said. "No one won the advantage, so no help for us…"

"Well, we know that Oricorio like to dance…" Meganium started.

"So we should maybe check the movie theater!" Altaria suggested. "There's a Dance Dance Revolution game in there!"

"Okay, how about we split up…" said Blissey. "We don't need any distractions, so how about all of us girls are together for one group, and the rest of you guys just split up into two or three other groups?"

"Uh…" both Tyranitar and Flygon started.

"That's fine…" Typhlosion said.

"Yeah, I don't wanna lose another challenge…" Altaria said in agreement before internally panicking. "Not saying that you guys are the reason…I just mean-"

Flygon pecked her lips before she could continue. "Calm down…" he chuckled. "We understood what you meant…"

Altaria smiled back as Delcatty groaned in her head.

000

"I can't believe that insecure, soft-spoken goody goody actually won", Delcatty stated. "It was Espeon's fault, but seriously, out of everyone...her, really?"

She shook her head before slowly raising it, gaining an idea.

"Hmm… if I can get a few others to vote her off with me...it knocks out a veteran and an unthinkable threat, it'll make Flygon more aggressive, which we can use as a reason to vote him off, and I'll just sit back and stay quiet", Delcatty said. "But, it'll all come to down to how we do in the challenge. I know that I'm still a target no matter what I do, but maybe a little manipulation can help…"

000

The girls all left to search the theater, leaving the guys alone.

"Alright, I think there's enough of us to make three more groups…" said Tyranitar.

"I'll go with Pyroar, Clawitzer, Spheal, Shedinja, and Shellder…" Luxray said as he started walking away. "Come on, guys…"

"Wait, that's no-" Farfetch'd started before sighing as they left. "And they're gone…"

"Okay, that's one group…" said Drilbur. "Now for the rest of us…"

"I don't really care who goes with me, but I'm just leaving. Whoever comes with me comes…" Flygon said as he started flying in the direction opposite the way Luxray and his group went.

Drilbur, Tropius, Spiritomb, and Delibird followed him, leaving Dragonite and Heliolisk with Tyranitar and Farfetch'd.

Tyranitar sighed. "Well, less to deal with. That's a good thing. Come on…"

Dragonite came along, and Farfetch'd followed, while Heliolisk seemed to be frozen in place. He was staring into space, his mouth moving but nothing coming out.

Farfetch'd noticed this and grew concerned. "Um...Heliolisk? You okay?"

Heliolisk didn't respond.

"You do what I say. You don't know anything. The world is an awful place, destroying them all will be doing them a favor…"

"Mr. Cornall, what's wrong with you? These are my friends!"

"Friends? I'm all you have! You have no one else. I've been with you since you were born. No one else takes care of you like I do…"

"But doing that isn't right!"

"You know NOTHING!"

"Heliolisk!"

The Generator Pokemon shook his head while holding it. "Make it stop...I don't want to…" he said, shaking.

"Hey hey, calm down…" Farfetch'd said, taking hold of his arms as the lizard panted, sweat starting to drip from his face. "What's the matter?"

"I-I-I don't know. M-Mr. Cornall is acting all crazy all of a sudden. I don't wanna hurt anybody...but his voice keeps ECHOING! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

"Okay, first off, get up…" Farfetch'd said, as Heliolisk had sunk to the ground and was rocking back and forth. He did what he was told.

"Don't you LISTEN!"

Heliolisk cried out, holding his head from the volume. "STOP IT!"

He dropped to his knees as Farfetch'd helped him back up, only to be shocked by Thunder.

"I didn't mean to, I just...AAAAHHHH!" Heliolisk yelled out before running into the apartments.

Farfetch'd sighed before flying after Tyranitar and Dragonite.

000

"Alright, where oh where could the dancing bird be?" asked Mightyena.

"The fact that you just said that makes me question your maturity level…" Dusclops said.

"I'm sure we can say the same for you…" said Delphox.

"Ooooh. Nice comeback…" Dusclops said, rolling his eye.

"How about you keep your trap shut and just look?" asked Absol.

"Or better yet, just teleport them to us!" Zebstrika suggested. "The other team finished fast by using their Psychic and Ghost-types, so why don't we do the same?"

"DOING THAT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN IN THIS CHALLENGE! GET YOUR LAZY ASSES IN GEAR!"

"Well that's unfair…" said Quilladin.

"No, what's unfair is that you and your little girlfriend screwed up our-"

"WE DIDN'T!" both Breloom and Quilladin exclaimed. "AND WE'RE NOT BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND!"

"Simultaneous shouting…#RelationshipGoals…" Cherrim said with a smirk.

"Okay, someone needs to burn you alive for uttering that shit…" Froslass said.

"Guys, we need to focus!" Grovyle exclaimed. "I do not want to face elimination again."

"Do you think that we want that?" asked Espeon. "It's just four birds!"

"I think we need to-"

"No splitting up", Servine said. "The time we waste trying to break into groups is time that we could be using to look around more."

"Darlin', you couldn't be any more right",said Grovyle. "Let's keep mov-"

"I see one!" Swirlix exclaimed, looking in the air.

"Where?"

"There! On top of the theater!"

Truth be told, there was the Baile Style Oricorio, dancing on the roof of the theater.

"Braviary, grab it!" Zangoose exclaimed.

Braviary nodded and flew towards the theater with a serious glare. The Oricorio, seeing Braviary, gained a smile and took flight.

Braviary saw this and started going faster. The Oricorio saw Braviary still behind it and started flying in loops. Braviary wasn't deterred, however, and continued forward.

The Oricorio used Flame Charge, picking up speed as fire enveloped its body.

Braviary flew faster to catch up with it. He flew past his teammates, who seemed to be yelling at him to hurry and go faster.

The Oricorio was still avoiding Braviary, and eventually got annoyed with him. It flew directly towards the rec center, head on.

The Oricorio looked back at Braviary before continuing to fly straight to the rec center. Once at the door, it flew upwards, causing Braviary to crash through the door.

The Oricorio laughed and flew away as the Enteis made their way to the rec center, only to see the door broken.

"Well, we can insure that this means he didn't catch it…" Ursaring said.

"What is wrong with you?!" asked Wooper as he and Zebstrika rushed in to check on Braviary.

"What?" Ursaring asked.

000

"Alright, where are we searching now?" asked Vanillite as he and the rest of the Suicunes exited a horror movie set.

"That was the most disturbing experience of my life…" said Gligar.

"Really? I thought that the bloody knives and dead body props would bring you joyous memories…" Eelektrik said sarcastically.

"Maybe after seeing that crazy shit, I think we need some placidity…" said Garchomp, shuddering a bit.

"Placidity? Coming from you? Never thought I'd hear that…" Pangoro said.

Garchomp gave him a look.

"Maybe we should go check the rec center…" Leafeon suggested.

"Sounds good to me", said Manectric, smiling at him.

"Wait, there's a rec center here?" asked Garchomp.

"Duh...I thought your power loving self was paying attention when we walked around on the first day…" Pangoro said.

"Listen here-"

"GUYS!" they heard someone exclaimed as they prepared to walk to the rec center.

Skuntank and Dewott ran up, the latter still holding the Pa'u Style Oricorio.

"Whoa, where the hell did you two find that one?!" Mismagius exclaimed.

"Dewott found it in the same place we started in", Skuntank explained, giving Dewott a loving look in the process.

"Well we have a lead!" Lairon said with a smile. "Now we just need to find another one and we're safe again!"

"You guys go to the rec center, Haxorus and I have an idea…" Charizard said.

"An idea?" asked Gulpin.

"Then why not share it with the whole class?" Vaporeon commented.

"Just let them do their plan", Bronzor said in his same monotonous tone. "We need to hurry."

The others agreed and started rushing to the rec center as Lairon, Honchkrow, Mandibuzz, and Garchomp stayed behind.

"What the hell are you two even planning?" asked Mandibuzz.

"You'll see", Charizard responded, giving Garchomp a wink.

She glared back in response.

"Let's get going. We don't need the team getting suspicious…" Honchkrow said.

"Yeah, come on…" said Lairon. "And be careful with whatever you're doing…"

Haxorus nodded with a smile.

The four of them rushed off after the team, leaving the two alone.

"Alright, I think we need to make a bird trap…" Charizard explained. "It could be the easiest way…"

"Or the most tedious…" Haxorus retorted. "I think it'll be very noticeable, too…"

"Not what I have planned…" Charizard retorted. "We just need a bit of scrap metal…"

-000-

The other Suicunes made their way to the rec center, and upon arrival, they saw that the door was broken and there were scuff marks on the floor, as well as a few feathers.

"Whoa, what the SUCK COCK HOLY HELL happened here?" Shieldon asked, sighing afterwards.

"Judging by the feathers, I think that Braviary crashed in here somehow…" said Manectric, picking up a blue and maroon colored feather.

"Well, if that's the case there's no point of searching here", said Eelektrik.

"Well then where are we supposed to search?" asked Skuntank.

"Well, we have the Psychic one, so maybe we could search the ghost movie set for the Sensu Style one…" said Leafeon.

"That a-a-a...ACHOO!" Tepig exclaimed, releasing a bunch of smoke from his nostrils.

"You are going to be the bane of my existence. I hope you know that…" Eelektrik stated.

000

The girls from the Raikous were all in the theater when the Enteis sent Braviary after the Oricorio.

"Well that was a bust…" said Lanturn as she and the others exited the theater.

"At least Francesca got her revenge…" said Typhlosion. "Now where the hell are we supposed to look?"

"Gothitelle...can you sense their presence?" asked Noibat.

"I can ask you the same thing…" Gothitelle said.

"Wait, that's a great idea!" Meganium exclaimed. "Both of you can use your abilities to figure out where they are!"

"Worth a try…" said Noibat as she flew high up.

She closed her eyes and started using her sound waves. She could see a large group of others in the apartments, the rec center, and a few of the movie sets. She continued sensing and eventually, she felt a singular presence near the elimination area.

"It's near the elimination area", Noibat said upon flying back down.

"Let's get going!"

-000-

The girls made it to the elimination building and saw that Noibat was correct. The Sensu Style Oricorio was seen preening its feathers.

"Yes!" Blissey cheered silently.

"Okay, we need someone to knock it out with one hit or something…" said Lanturn.

Everyone stared at her.

"Oh...right…"

Lanturn used Electro Ball, striking the Oricorio and knocking it out instantly.

"Yes!" Delcatty cheered.

000

"Okay, this is pissing me off", said Froslass.

"How surprising…" Mightyena said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Why the hell is this so difficult?!" Goodra exclaimed.

"This is a big lot and they expect us to find four 2'00'' birds…" said Dusclops. "Yeah, I'm sure anyone would have difficulty finding them…"

"THE SUICUNES AND RAIKOUS EACH HAVE ONE BIRD!"

"You've gotta be fucking KIDDING!" Ursaring roared as he picked up Quilladin and tossed him far across the lot.

"Well, that didn't help anything…" said Zangoose.

"Was that even necessary!?" Grovyle exclaimed.

"If you didn't want anything worse to happen to any of you, YES!"

"Okay, I think we should just calm the fuck down and keep looking", said Jolteon.

"Estoy de acuerdo", said Hawlucha, nodding.

"Will someone give him fucking subtitles already!?" Umbreon exclaimed.

"Wait, look, it's the red Oricorio again!" Swirlix said, looking at the top of their apartment.

"I'm not doing it this time…"

"We have two Flying-types for a reason…"

Without a word, Metagross tucked in his legs and quickly flew up towards the Oricorio. Seeing this, the Oricorio started using Revelation Dance before tackling him. However, Metagross countered with a Meteor Mash, sending it to the ground, unconscious.

"Nice job, Metagross!" Zangoose said as she went over and picked up the Oricorio. It immediately started struggling, which Zangoose stopped with a bop to the head.

"Alright, now we each have one...meaning we'll have to do this all over again", said Breloom. "Great…"

"Not if we find the last bird first!" said Wooper. "Keep your head up…"

"That won't help shit", said Ursaring. "Actions speak louder than words…"

"Then stop talking and let's keep looking!" Houndoom said.

"Watch it!" Ursaring growled. "You made yourself a liability by spraining your little paw, so you may wanna stay in your place if you don't wanna end up in the limo."

"And you'd better watch your attitude if YOU don't wanna end up in the limo…" Absol growled, getting in front of Houndoom.

"Yeah, Absol's right", said Servine. "Your jerky attitude is very annoying and opposite of what this team needs!"

"Look, I actually want to win, same with all of you", said Ursaring. "And as you can see, I'm strong, so if you plan on voting for me just because some of your precious feelings may get hurt, then go on and dig your own grave!"

"LOOK!" Goodra exclaimed, getting between them. "We don't have time for this. There's one more fucking bird in this lot and we're wasting valuable time! Each team has a bird, so let's just shut up and walk around the lot until we find it...okay?"

"Look at the wannabe goo samaritan…" Espeon teased. "You can't control how people act and you can't tell them what to do, either…"

"Yeah, but we can punish them for it…" Goodra retorted with a glare, making Espeon glare back.

"Alright, Goodra's right", said Zebstrika. "We have to focus…"

"Llegados a este punto, la división de de hasta no es tan mala idea …" Hawlucha said, holding his hand to his chin.

"Jolteon...translation?" Delphox asked.

"He said that splitting up may not be a bad idea now…"Jolteon replied. "And he's right. Staying grouped together now, when we have one bird left, is a bad choice."

Servine groaned. She really didn't want to do this and waste more time, but at this point, it seemed that they had no other option. "Alright fine, split up!"

Everyone split up into separate groups, leaving Quilladin alone as he slowly made his way back to where his team just left.

000

"Alright, where is this last-" Bellossom started before being shocked by a bolt of electricity. She growled. "Watch it Eelektrik!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Eelektrik.

"You shocked me!"

"Um...no I didn't…" said Eelektrik.

"Manectric?"

"It wasn't him either…" said Leafeon, defending him.

"Well something had to have, OW!" Milotic exclaimed, getting electrocuted herself.

"Where is that shit coming from!?" Pangoro exclaimed.

"Up there…" Gulpin said, pointing to the top of another movie set.

Everyone turned to where Gulpin was pointing and saw that he was correct. The Pom-Pom Style Oricorio was cheering on top of one of the sets.

"Ha! Looks like Haxorus and Charizard's little plan is worth nothing!" Garchomp laughed.

"Says who?" Charizard said as he and Haxorus came up behind them.

"And what was you two's great plan?" asked Honchkrow.

Haxorus shook a frisbee-like device that was separated in different segments.

"Um...what is that?" asked Bronzor.

Haxorus threw the disc towards the Oricorio, and before it had the chance to see what was going on, the device hit it and snapped into a cage.

"AND THE SUICUNES WIN FIRST PLACE!"

"YES!"

The others started thanking and cheering Haxorus and Charizard. Charizard, however, saw Garchomp's distant, aggravated expression before she started walking away. This upset him; he had no idea what she had against him and at this point it was causing her distress in some way. He needed to talk to her.

"EVERYONE RETURN TO THE STARTING SET OF THE CHALLENGE!"

000

Everyone did as they were told and the four Oricorio were now back in the cage.

"Alright, so my team is yet again safe from elimination...meaning that either the Raikous or Enteis will be facing their second elimination…" Suicune said with a smirk as the two guys glared at their teams. "And, to make it a bit more interesting, since my team won, they're gonna be the ones to separate you all into four groups on each team."

"That's not fair!" Luxray growled.

"Yes it is...you guys lost", said Suicune. "So, team, how you splitting them up?"

"Um, we're gonna need some time to think about it and talk this out…"

The team huddled together.

"Okay, this is a complete waste of time…" said Dusclops.

"Exactly!" Tyranitar exclaimed. "Can you just release the birds so that we can go?"

"Alright, we're ready", Skuntank said with a smile.

"Huh, that was fast…" said Cherrim.

"On the Raikous, we're gonna have Delcatty, Noibat, Tropius, Meganium, Dragonite, and Delibird…"

Noibat and Delcatty glared at each other, Tropius and Meganium exchanged sheepish looks, while Dragonite and Delibird just sighed.

"Group two will have Heliolisk, Farfetch'd, Flygon, Shedinja, Clawitzer, and Typhlosion…"

Clawitzer looked at his group mates and sweatdropped.

000

"I be goin' t' Davy Jones' Locker", Clawitzer said.

000

"Group three will have Pyroar, Luxray, Lanturn, Spiritomb, Blissey, and Altaria…"

Altaria was the only one rather nervous about her group.

"And Tyranitar, Spheal, Shellder, Drilbur, and Gothitelle are your last group…"

"We could see that…" Drilbur commented.

"What was your plan, even?" asked Typhlosion. "This is just gonna help us…"

"We'll see…" said Milotic.

"Now, for the Enteis…" said Skuntank.

"Skunk, I swear if you-"

"Ursaring, Quilladin, Breloom, Goodra, Wooper, and Swirlix are group one…"

"Why do bad things always happen to me?" asked Quilladin. "When I'm unnoticed, it's shit but I'm fine, when I'm noticed, it's still shit, and I'm not fine…"

"Group two can have Umbreon, Hawlucha, Cherrim, Grovyle, Servine, and Mightyena…"

Espeon growled.

"Group three will have Houndoom, Absol, Jolteon, Delphox, Espeon, and Zangoose…"

"...Kill me…" Houndoom stated.

"And the last group...Metagross, Froslass, Zebstrika, Braviary, and Dusclops…"

"Great...great, you set us up with people we can't stand or have issues with...very nice…" Dusclops said sarcastically. "

"Alright, Suicunes, you're dismissed…" Raikou said, his tone a mixture of anger and disappointment.

The Suicunes started exiting the set.

"What the hell did I fucking say at the last elimination!?"

"Hey, we didn't try to lose!" Tyranitar exclaimed. "It's not our fault that they kept finding the birds faster!"

"They found them without really splitting up…"

"HA!" Servine exclaimed.

"No, NO HA!" Ursaring growled. "We're split up, so this shit is gonna take forever!"

"Oh no, there's a reason I made them split you guys up…" Suicune said. "This second part of capturing these birds will include you all racing for it."

"I'm outta here…" Umbreon said as he started walking away. "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard…"

"You walk out that and we're voting you out if we lose", said Goodra.

Umbreon paused and snarled. "FINE!" he said before walking back over.

"Now, let's get going…"

-000-

"I can't believe this shit…" Entei growled as he sat next to Raikou and Suicune.

The two teams were next to each other on a long racetrack. The Baile Style Oricorio was the first one on the track and was near the end.

"Alright, this is a relay race", said Suicune. "Group ones, step up and spread yourselves."

"This is the dumbest challenge ever…" said Froslass. "I'm pretty sure Up didn't have a relay race…"

"This is about the birds, now quiet!" Entei growled. "The team that collects three of the birds first will win…"

"What if it's a tie?" asked Metagross.

"Oh, right…" Raikou said. "Well, it'll only be three birds then. The team that catched two of the birds will win. One group from each team doesn't have to go…"

"Oh joy…" said Dusclops.

"Now, group ones, are you ready?"

Delcatty, Noibat, Tropius, Meganium, Dragonite, and Delibird were set up in that same order; the Enteis had Wooper go first, then Swirlix, Quilladin, Breloom, Goodra, and Ursaring.

"Alright, three...two...one...GO!"

000

Garchomp was sitting in an alleyway trying to clear her mind. What the hell was wrong with her? How come someone else always had to take away her shine? In her life, whenever she accomplished something or tried to accomplish something, someone else one-ups her and she gets left to deal with the repercussions.

Charizard was a very formidable rival, but that was what she hated about him. His snarky attitude, the fact that he always seemed to tease her in some way, the fact that he could prove that he was better than her, it all made her sick. Not only that, but the fact that Pangoro kept making it seem like she only cared about being strong and winning really made her blood boil, but it also made her upset.

She heard the flapping of wings and upon looking, she immediately growled and got up in order to start walking away.

"What's wrong with you?" she heard him ask.

"What?" she asked,

"What the hell did I do to you?" Charizard asked, folding his arms. "Because right now it seems like you hate my guts for some reason when I'm pretty sure I've never done anything to hurt you!"

"I don't have to explain myself to you", Garchomp said before turning back around and bumping into the Charizard again.

"When it involves me...you do", Charizard said with a serious tone.

"It's none...of your...business…" she growled as she tried to walk away, only for Charizard to grab her arm.

She growled and yanked her arm away. "Don't you ever grab me…"

"Then you'd better tell me what your problem is…" Charizard said with a glare.

"You're not the boss of me!"

Charizard blocked the way she was trying to go, causing her to try the other side again, only for him to do the same thing. She then tried to fly, only for him to go after her.

She turned around and used Dragon Pulse, but he dodged it and flew at high speed towards her. Getting irritated, she flew back towards him, using Dragon Rush. Charizard held his arms out, allowing Garchomp to strike him and send them right back into the alley in a small crater.

Garchomp groaned and slowly opened her eyes to see Charizard glaring daggers at her. She jumped back, only for him to pin her down.

"Tell...me…" he growled.

Garchomp blasted a Dragon Pulse at his face in response. He didn't even flinch and kept his same look. However, he just closed his eyes and let her up. Garchomp got up immediately and saw him just fly away. She smirked. Maybe now he'd learn to leave her alone.

000

"I don't know what his obsession with me is...but it'd better be over now", said Garchomp.

000

"Alright, so the Enteis won the first race…" Raikou said through grit teeth.

"Hey, you didn't say no attacking allowed…" said Ursaring with a smile.

"Exactly…" Entei said with a smile.

Raikou smiled. "Okay…" he said in a tone that actually scared Entei a bit. "Group twos...get into position!"

Cherrim and Hawlucha were the first two, followed by Umbreon, Servine, Mightyena, and Grovyle, while Clawitzer was first on the Raikous, followed by Shedinja, Heliolisk, Flygon, Farfetch'd, and Typhlosion.

"Alright, three, two, one...GO!"

Clawitzer used Ice Beam on Cherrim immediately before floating forward quickly. "Sorry, lass!"

He made it to Shedinja with ease, and the shell just hovered forward at a leisurely pace.

"SHEDINJA! HURRY THE HELL UP!" Typhlosion exclaimed, her neck flaring up.

Heliolisk turned around, seeing Shedinja directly behind him. Heliolisk gulped before running forward. Umbreon growled and used Dark Pulse, hitting Heliolisk.

"Oh no he didn't! RETALIATE, NOW!"

"I don't want to! We're still winning either way!"

"Do as I fucking SAAAAYYYYY!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Heliolisk screamed and he held his head.

"Shit!" Farfetch'd cursed as he flew to him.

"HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Espeon exclaimed.

"There's something wrong with him, shut up!" Lanturn retorted.

Farfetch'd made it back to Heliolisk who was crying while hold his head. "Make the voices stop! Make Mr. Cornall STOP!"

"What's he doing?" Farfetch'd asked, holding his arms.

Heliolisk cried out before using Thunder again. Farfetch'd flinched and tried to control his urges from this.

"C-Calm down….Heliolisk…" he growled, hugging him.

Heliolisk continued to cry as the Thunder got more intense. Farfetch'd growled and he soon experienced a flashback despite trying to hold them down.

He kicked Heliolisk back and took a thin knife out of his stalk, panting roughly as he walked towards him.

"Oh no!" Tyranitar exclaimed as he and Zebstrika rushed over to stop him.

"So, uh...did stuff like this happen a lot last season?" asked Pyroar.

"Farfetch'd, yes, but I've never seen Heliolisk like this!" Luxray responded.

"AND THE ENTEIS WIN!" Suicune exclaimed.

Everyone froze. They looked back to the finish line and saw Grovyle. Looking back at the beginning, they saw Cherrim shivering like mad as the ice she was initially trapped in was cracked.

"THAT IS NOT FAIR AT ALL!" Typhlosion exclaimed. "Heliolisk is hurting! We got distracted!"

"Yeah, even I call bullshit on that!" Zangoose exclaimed. "They didn't have a chance!"

"Not our problem, now shut it!" Ursaring growled.

"Raikous, looks like you'll be heading to elimination again!" Entei said with a smile.

The Raikous all turned to Heliolisk with worried glances, as he was sobbing while in the fetal position.

000

Most of the Raikous met up in the guys' room of the apartment.

"What are we gonna do?" asked Noibat.

"The logical choice. Boot Heliolisk…" said Blissey. "He needs help. And if more things like what happened today happen again, we're gonna keep losing."

"Look, that was a relatively new reaction", said Farfetch'd. "Can't we just vote out Delcatty FOR REAL this time?"

"Farfetch'd, we understand where you're coming from, but Blissey's right", said Tyranitar. "If it happened today, it could happen again. And...as much as I hate to admit it, Delcatty hasn't really done anything this challenge to make us eliminate her…"

"Can't you guys just have pity on him for once?" asked Farfetch'd. "You don't know if it'll really happen again!"

"Farfetch'd, just stop…" said Gothitelle. "Even if it doesn't happen again, do you really want him to be in pain here? Mentally?"

Farfetch'd sighed. He barely even spoke to Heliolisk a lot prior to today, but the fact that he was also sick and experiencing a lot of pain because of it really broke his heart, so he didn't want him gone yet. He and Flygon both had disorders as well, so if they accidently screwed up a challenge, would the team out them as well? However, she was right. He didn't want Heliolisk in pain.

"No…"

"Okay then, we have to do this…"

000

"Alright Delcatty, since your team lost...anyone you think need to go?" asked Eelektrik.

"I think that Altaria needs to go", Delcatty said. "She's already undeservingly won a season, so she doesn't even need to be here…"

"YES!" Espeon exclaimed. "She needs to be gone!"

"And in eliminating her, it could cause Flygon a bit of distress-"

"And I'm gonna have to stop you right there…" Dusclops said. "Elimination spouses just to cause the other won sadness or distress is the weakest and most cliched thing you can do. It won;t do anything but give them more confidence. Haven't you seen other shows?"

"She still doesn't need to be here if she won", Froslass said. "She could end up flying under the radar AGAIN."

"I'm in agreement that the shaky cloud didn't deserve to win nor does she need to be here; I'm just saying that the spouse thing is stupid as fuck", Dusclops explained.

"So, we're in agreement…" Umbreon said. "But how are we gonna make sure she's gone?"

"Change the votes, duh…" Bronzor said. "Plus, it'll cause a bit of a stir on their team, causing a lot of distrust and eventually a collapse of teamwork and leading to them losing a lot more often."

"Nice prediction…" said Eelektrik.

"RAIKOUS! IT'S TIME FOR ELIMINATION!"

"Well, you'd better do this fast", said Delcatty as she started walking towards the Pokeball-shaped building.

000

The Raikous were at sitting at the ceremony with annoyed expressions. However, none of them were no more annoyed than Raikou's as he pushed a cart of Pokeballs up.

"Wait...um...w-what happened to the chips?" asked Shellder.

Raikou gave him a death glare, promptly shutting him up.

"Um...Raikou, you know that the race was unfair! Why are you allowing-"

"Three hosts, two calls against one", Raikou said angrily. "Now just stay quiet!"

Everyone gulped.

"Spheal, Spiritomb, Blissey, Shedinja, Gothitelle, Tyranitar, Typhlosion, Luxray, Pyroar, Flygon, Drilbur, Dragonite, Clawitzer, Meganium, Tropius, Noibat, Lanturn, Shellder, Delibird, Delcatty, and Farfecth'd you are all safe…"

Heliolisk looked down in guilt, while Altaria was confused as to why she was even at the bottom.

"Alright, the final pokeball goes to…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

...Heliolisk. Altaria, shockingly, you're out."

"WHAT!?" everyone exclaimed, minus Delcatty, who just mouthed along.

"Yeah, and the funny thing...it was unanimous…"

"Unanimous!?" Flygon exclaimed angrily. "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HER! DRILBUR DIDN'T VOTE FOR HER! I'M PRETTY SURE NO ONE ON THE TEAM VOTED FOR HER!"

"Well, the votes say otherwise…"

Flygon took a deep breath, only to be promptly smacked by Drilbur.

"Flygon, it's okay", Altaria said with a slight giggle. "We already won last season. It doesn't matter…"

"But...but I just wanted you to be by my side…"

"You've still got Drilbur, sweetie…" Altaria said kiss his cheek. "You'll be fine."

Flygon smiled at her and hugged her.

"Don't lose your mind over me, please. Just keep going like you've been doing…" she whispered. "No vengeance, no anger, just keep being Flygon…"

"I promise…" Flygon whispered back before kissing her.

"Altaria….Rocket of Rejects...now!"

"I thought it was just rocket limo…" Altaria said as she flew down the red carpet and got into the limo.

"It's both!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as the rocket blasted off.

Flygon took a deep breath before breathing back out.

"Flygon, we have no idea what happened there…" said Tyranitar. "I'm sure none of us voted for her!"

"And don't think that I changed anything", said Farfetch'd. "I agreed with you guys…"

"See, you have no friends! They were gonna vote you out!"

"Yeah, BECAUSE OF YOU!"

"You're blaming me? How dare you!"

"You're the reason I cost us the last challenge!"

"Keep telling yourself that. You know damn well that I'm all you got. No one cares about you. They never have and they never will…"

000

Raikou went back to his trailer and saw that the place was extremely filthy. Food crumbs and bags were everywhere, furniture was turned over, and there were substances on the walls. He twitched.

"Ah, there he is…" Suicune said as she and Entei came down with smiles on their faces.

"What...the hell...is this?"

"Your punishment…" said Suicune as she walked by. "Better get cleaning…"

Entei chucked and started following her, before getting grabbed by Raikou.

"You...aren't going anywhere."

"Oh-ho and why is that?" asked Entei. "You still upset?"

"No...you lost the first challenge and you didn't receive your punishment yet…"

Entei's smile immediately turned into a frown. "Th-that doesn't count! This started AFTER I lost."

"Bullshit...that doesn't matter…" Raikou said with a smirk.

"This is NOT FAIR!"

"I know right...just like the race…" Raikou said as he tossed Entei a towel. "Better get scrubbing…"

Entei growled.

000

And Altaria is now gone! Lots of stuff happening! I wonder what'll happen next! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you next time on Ultimate Total...Pokemon...Action! See ya guys, BYE!

Next time: What's your final destination?

Altaria: Please leave a review!
