We see a huge wild area full of open fields, cliffs and lakes.
"Welcome viewers to our newest.. most exciting season yet!" Ninetails cheered.
"...Yay..." Mawile looked unamused.
"After the whole world ending business last season took I think it's time to dial it back a notch and return to square one with the basics! So we brought twelve players some brand new, some familiar faces and some returning veterans for the prize of winning!" Ninetails looked happy but the have a small cough as she nudged Mawile.
"... Five thousand pokedollars..." Mawile sighed.
"Yea! Isn't this exciting? After the whole fiasco last season with the world tour plane crashing and the lawsuits we REALLY are on thin ice of being canceled..." Ninetails gave a sheepish smile as she looked over her notes.
"... don't forget we also don't have an island anymore as Mews Island disappeared..." Mawile told the host as she rolled her eyes.
"Right... thanks for the input Mawile... SO! We rented a small cozy wild area in the Johto Safari Zone north of Route 48 for our newest seasons! Mew, Pumpkingking and Suicune being all gone it's up to Mawile and I to patch things up!-" Ninetails gave a nervous laugh
"...with offbrand tape..." Mawile responded.
"Yes... Mawile.. huh? Look here are the brand new members of never before seen players into the show! Bellibolt, Flamigo and Lokix!" Ninetails announced.
"Hello everyone! Nice to meet you." Bellibolt giggled as she waddled into the safari zone.
"Pleasure is mio..." Flamigo bowed to her as he had a Spanish accent.
"Calculating chances of making allies with them... high percentage... both look gullible enough..." Lokix whispered to himself; no one noticed other than the cameras of course.
"Now having new players is cool and all but here are some familiar faces some of you might recognize! It's Dhelmise, Bergmite, Braixen and Turtonator!" Ninetails talked into the microphone as the players walked.
"Where's the plug for my charger?" Bergmite asked as she looked around.
"Yar! I'm so jolly to finally be back mateys! I'm sure to give 200% on whichever team i am on comrades!" Dhelmise gave a pirate laugh.
Braixen looked around confused as she walked.
"Oh yea! I'm finally back baby! It's been so long since i competed!" Turtonator grinned.
"Maybe it's for a reason..." Mawile rolled her eyes.
"Here are two season two ex contestants...give it up for famous celebrity Gumshoos G Trump and less famous celebrity Ninjask!" Ninetails announced cheerfully.
"*scoff* How dare you give me such uncouth presentation! I'm far more clever and attractive than anyone here! I should be treated with more respect!" Ninjask glared.
"Pleased to make acquaintance with all of you, let's all have a good game." Trump walked towards the safari zone with the other players.
"And finally... the final three players are All-Star Veterans from the very first season! Give it up for Togepi, Totodile and Squirtle!" Ninetails smiled.
"Heya! So what we gonna do first! Skydive! Chainsaw juggle! Spontaneous combustion!" Togepi entered the wild area doing a cartwheel until she hit Ninetails.
"Hehehe whoops! Sorry!" Togepi smiled as she stood up quickly.
"Uh no problem?" Ninetails looked at her oddly.
"Ha! You call that an entrance egghead! It seems you're still just as goofy ahh as always dude!" Squirtle walks in grinning; Totodile walks next to him looking bored.
"Gua." Totodile says.
"Gua? What does that mean?" Asked Braixen.
"Oh! It can mean a lot of things, yes, no, maybe, sure, let's do an eleven-" Togepi chatted until she was interrupted by Totodile pushing her away softly; shaking her head as she replied with.
"Guagua guagua gua gua guaguagua..." Totodile shrugged.
Braixen, Flamigo, Lokix and Turtonator looked confused as hell at the small blue croc while Ninjask and Bergmite looked annoyed at her.
"I assume you all understand how our confessional outhouses work right?" Ninetails smiled
"Sorry bruh, I didn't take my first communion..." Squirtle shrugged nonchalantly getting disbelief stares from many players.
Ninjask (The Best): "That!! Is one of the Oh so powerful All-Star Veterans? Psh if that's how dull all these players will be.. they might as well hand me the money on a silver platter!" He scoffed confidently.
"You can between challenges record your own personal thoughts in the camera to strategize or give us some juicy secrets and opinions, makes the show more interesting." Ninetails smiled.
"Ah jeez, hopefully they aren't abandoned by mid season like on season 2b." Togepi smiled; next to her Totodile was bored but when Togepi said that the blue croc gave a small smirk.
"We won't... anywho I'm sure you'd all like to know your teams... well we are randomizing them right now; Mawile will pull a paper from this box and so will i; we will do this three times for each team until we have two teams of six!" Ninetails smiled.
The players seemed fine with it.
"Alright, on first team... we have... Togepi... and Squirtle!" Mawile spoke as she read her and Ninetails paper.
"Awe what... there's no way that was a coincidence..." Togepi looked a bit sad.
"Yea bro why you gotta make me team up with Mrs Hardboiled Brain here!" Squirtle side eyed her.
"W-well at least I'm not bald like you, baldi!" Togepi glared at him.
"Bruh..." Squirtle did a bruh face.
"Ahem we need to move on... okay so next team has.. Totodile and Flamigo!" Ninetails read the two papers.
"Welcome señorita to our new team." Flamigo looked friendly.
"Guagua guagua." Totodile smiled.
"Next... we have... Dhelmise and Turtonator..."Mawile looked dead inside.
"Flipping sweet! Turtle Squad!" Squirtle high five Turtonator who also grinned at the small turtle.
"Yar! Hey laddie, in season 2 we were on opposite teams so hopefully this time we can work together!" Dhelmise looked happy as she levitated towards her new team.
"Epic Gamer Moment." Togepi smiled.
"Hurry it up!" Ninjask scoffed.
"Fine... next team will have Bellibolt and Braixen." Ninetails read the papers.
"So this is my team? Hurray!" Bellibolt smiled.
"Do you ever blink?" Asked Braixen.
"Hehe don't be silly, these aren't my eyes... there are!" Bellibolt pointed at her yellow eyes.
Braixen looked awkward...
"Final members of Team 1 will be... Bergmite and Lokix." Mawile told them.
"This is my team? Interesting Calculating strengths and weaknesses... error massive flaws eminent... multiple backstabbing possibilities..." Lokix spoke robotically and sparked a bit.
"Uh what on earth is he on about?" Asked Turtonator.
"Dunno, sometimes I talk nonsense too when i spend too much time scrolling through my endless TicToc feed." Bergmite shrugged as she kept texting on her phone.
"Anywhoooo this means the last two members we didn't get will be going to the other team, say hello to your new teams Gumshoos and Ninjask." Ninetails smiled.
"Interesting variety of allies.." Gumshoos looked at them all, but looked slightly disappointed.
"Team one...you will be officially known as... the Gentle Pigeons!" Ninetails smiled.
"Yar! Nice!" Dhelmise.
"Neat." Turtonator nodded.
"Affirmative." Lokix scanned his team.
"Awesome! Watch me do a Pigeon sound!" Togepi looked exited as she imitated a blue whale cry; Bergmite before was glancing at her annoyed but after the uncanny accurate cry she looked a bit impressed.
"You team two... I guess you're all the Sparing Geckos..." Mawile told them.
"Nice, we're a gecko!" Bellibolt smiled.
"I don't like it... Reminds me of a rival company which saves others fifteen percent or more..." Gumshoos grumbled.
Flamigo (Sparing Geckos): "Why they have to give us both the two pompous rich boys..." He looked a bit annoyed.
"Why do we have to be scaley geckos! Couldn't had we had a more valiant or ferocious animal, like a tiger or a shark?" Ninjask looked angry.
"...It was either that or the Villainous Hippos..." Mawile looked annoyed at them.
"Uhhh Geckos it is I suppose..." Ninjask shrugged.
"Alright now I know you all likely still need to bond with your team so, why not do that... with a challenge!" Ninetails smiled.
"Already!? But my knees are so tired.." Bergmite groaned.
"Negative, species 712 does not have knees..." Lokix corrected her; Bergmite looked annoyed at him.
"Yep, a challenge! I call it Blind Bonding! You will choose two members to be tied up and blindfolded as they traverse a field full of dangerous booby traps!" Ninetails hosted.
"Hehehehe" Squirtle giggled and Togepi elbowed him hard.
"Ow..." He rubbed his arm.
"You will then try to find a bucket of chum as one of your members will be allowed to guide you and traverse the field until you place the bucket on a platform in which two other members will use the ropes to carry it to the top in which the final sixth member of your team must EAT the chum, last team to do so loses and their team sends someone home tonight... if you drop the bucket it's okay, just pick up everything and the sixth member will have to eat it, sand and all, questions?" Asked Ninetails.
They all raised their hands other than Dhelmise...
"Yes Braixen?" Asked Ninetails.
"Can we choose in which order who does what?" She asked.
"Of course, you have five minutes to decide." Ninetails nodded as Mawile stood by her side.
(Gentle Pigeons)
"Okay so I'm like so not eating that thing.." Bergmite grunted.
"I'm artificial.. I cannot consume.." Lokix spoke.
"Not to be rude but you two also look weak as hell, so I doubt you'd be able to pull the ropes... unlike me who has strength to spare!" Turtonator grinned.
"So does me bro, I am a jock so I'm super strong dude!" Squirtle grinned as he flexed.
"Great we got our muscle to pull the thingamajiga but who will be blindfolded and tied, eat the chum and also give directions? I don't have a mouth so I can't eat chum..." Dhelmise told her team.
"I'll eat it, I've eaten worse things on the side of the road for a nickel." Togepi shrugged, she got some disgusted looks
"Alrighty team I'll be ye captain for this challenge and I'll be look out for Bergmite and Lokix as they traverse the battlefield!" Dhelmise gave a pirate laugh.
Lokix and Bergmite looked worried at eachother.
(Sparing Geckos)
"I've got a cast iron stomach, I just love eating so I'll do the chum part!" Bellibolt smiled.
"Totodile can't be look out for obvious reasons..." Gumshoos told his team.
"Gua..." Totodile said boredly.
"And no offense but Ninjask you won't carry any platform with those small weak arms..." Flamigo told him.
"Gasp! How dare you insult me like that you ruffian..whatever Flamigo it looks like now you ain't MY amigo.." Ninjask looked away offended
"...okay? So I'll pull with Gumshoos... I think we're both the strongest..." Flamigo spoke.
"I already don't trust Ninjask with giving orders...so you'll be blindfolded with Totodile...Braixen you'll give orders." Trump told him.
Braixen nodded at the Gumshoos.
"Ready? Set... Start!" Ninetails announced as the players began running.
"Go left! Now right! Alright matey! No no not right again!" Dhelmise said as Lokix and Bergmite crashed into a pile of mud.
"Ew! This is like so disgusting!" Bergmite whined blindfolded.
"Needs.. serious memory hard drive wipe... above average grime on chips..." Lokix grumbled blindfolded.
"Come on ye scallywags, just keep going forward and the left yo ho ho!" Dhelmise cheered.
"Keep running forward, then left no not that left my left ohhhh.." Braixen cringed.
"Augh! Get these crustaceans off me!" Ninjask yelled as many lobsters were pinching him.
"Guaguaguaguaguaua!" Totodile panicked as the lobsters also pinched her.
"Come on Braixen Focus." Gumshoos glared at her.
"S-sorry! Alright Come on just go right.. then.. keep going forward.. perfect you got the bucket now left and forward!" Braixen told them.
"Thanks for like carrying the entire bucket, I don't have arms." Bergmite gave a small grin.
"Debatable..." Lokix groaned carrying the entire bucket.
The two blindfolded duos almost reached the platform when Bergmite and Lokix groaned in pain as they had accidentally stepped on a pile of hot coal; mean while Totodile and Ninjask blondfoldedly ran away from murderous Combees.
After a bit more... and directions from the commander.. Dhelmise and Braixen... the blindfolded duo placed the bucket on the platform.
"Let's begin pulling!" Flamigo told him.
"Slow and steady." Gumshoos pulled the ropes.
"Hurry up bro, we gotta pull faster!" Squirtle was pulling on the ropes.
"Uh we're going a but too fast.. woah!" Turtonator gasped as the bucket fell off the platform and landed on top of Bergmite.
"Ewwwww...this is like... so nasty!" Bergmite complained blindfolded.
"Sorry Bergmite! Come on dude really?" Turtonator glared.
"You obviously couldn't keep up to my pace bro, hurry it up next time!" Squirtle looked annoyed.
"I finished picking up all chum, fair warning.. it now contains some sand..." Lokix spoke blindfolded as he placed the bucket on the platform again
"Good pace good pace don't rush we still have time." Gumshoos slowly pulled the ropes with Flamigo.
"Go faster you slow slowpoke! They're ahead of us!" Squirtle yelled.
Turtonator growled as he pulled on the ropes faster till they reached the top first.
"Here Togepoop, von appetite!" Squirtle chuckled as he crossed his arms.
"Oooooo reminds me of prison food! Nom nom nom nom!" Togepi quickly began eating the sandy chum getting disgusted looks from Squirtle and Turtonator.
"And... there we got it HURRY EAT IT!" Flamigo yelled.
Bellibolt grabbed the bucket and ate the entire chum bucket in a single gulp as she swallowed the bucket as well.
Gumshoos and Flaimgo just stared at her in disbelief.
"Wow! She can really munch haha! Uh oh... BLEH.." Togepi vomited some of the nasty chum out.
Her team cringed at the vomit.
"And team Sparing Geckos wins! Gentle Pigeons... I'll see YOU for elimination..." Ninetails spoke.
They looked nervous.
(That night)
It was night time and the Gentle Pigeons were walking to the brand new elimination ceremony.
"So who you gonna be voting?" Asked Turtonator.
"Togepi bruh, she's like so dumb and annoying!" Squirtle whispered to him.
"Noted." Turtonator nods.
"I better find an electric plug nearby... my phone only has like 57 percent battery!" Bergmite whined as Lokix next to her looked annoyed.
"Yar... sorry we lost lassi... this is so embarrassing..." Dhelmise looked sad.
"Don't worry anchor girl, we'll do better next time, his time with more explosions!" Togepi cheered.
"Oh um okay?" Dhelmise gave an awkward pirate laugh.
They were all sitting in logs staring at a bonfire.
"Welcome to Elimination! Now this is gonna be a new twist this season... unlike EVERY other season we've had this season is ENTIRELY VIEWER BASED that's right, none of you will vote only the watchers can choose who stays and who leaves!" Ninetails announced.
Gasps!
"Well this information would've been nice to know..." Lokix looked away annoyed.
"So then why are we all sitting here?" Asked Dhelmise.
"Eh it looks cool for the episode." Ninetails shrugged.
"Also this is where the votes will be read once we have them.. whoever has the fewest votes must get in the barrel of shame and fall down the Waterfall of Losers on route 48 and you won't be able to rejoin... EVER!" Mawile glared.
Even more gasps!
"...until next season maybe.." Mawile looked away boredly.
Sighs of relief.
"Alright this marks the end of the episode, challenges were played maybe some alliance began planting its seeds and most importantly some players got very...very hurt haha tune in next time for the next installment of... Ninetails New Savanah!" Ninetails cheered.
We zoomed out to see the entire Johto Safari Zone in night time; some torches scattered around and the team cabins.
"That's the name you picked.. seriously?" Asked Mawile boredly.
"Mawile... shush please..." Ninetails said from very far away.
