Pokémon Survivor Borneo Episode 6 I would even consider throwing a challenge
Last time on Survivor…Beedrill and Squirtle had an argument on why Beedrill was targeting her. Back on Fire Tribe Wartortle got in a fight with Charizard and Charmander over work. Fire Tribe won reward after Charmeleon messed up his throw. They won chickens and fruit which Charmander roasted one up despite being told no by her tribe. Fire Tribe won immunity barely sending Grass to Tribal Council. Beedrill tried to betray his ally by trying to get Metapod out but the tribe had enough of his frantic strategizing and voted out Beedrill in a 5-1 vote. 11 are left who will be voted out next?
Grass Tribe: Bulbasaur, Venusaur, Charmeleon, Squirtle, Metapod
Fire Tribe: Ivysaur, Charmander, Charizard, Wartortle, Butterfree, Pidgey
Grass Tribe Day 16
The tribe was hanging around camp the morning after the vote.
"It's a lot more peaceful here." Squirtle said "No one is bugging us to strategize."
"True, plus we all get along." Bulbasaur added "Us 5 to the end?"
"I am good with that." Metapod said "As long as we win that last immunity, we should be good. I doubt the other tribe is unified."
"Good idea." Squirtle said
Squirtle's Confession: With the tribe down to five we cannot afford to lose the last immunity challenge. We must stay positive but we did vote out two strong players but kept a weak player. Still, I think we work well together.
"So, question what are you guys going to do with a million dollars?" Venusaur asked "Because I am curious."
"Why, what would you do with it?" Metapod asked back.
"Simple, create a place where plants can grow. And weaker Pokémon can flourish without the fear of being eaten." Venusaur replied "I think it is a good place to start."
"Well, I want to create a sanctuary for Metapods like me. Free from Beedrills and other Pokémon." Metapod said
"For me, I want to pay medical bills for some of my friends who were injured in the tournaments. I know a few who can no longer fight." Bulbasaur said "I know basic medical is free but these were some tough tournaments."
"I want to use it to clean up a beach." Squirtle said "I live on one and the tourists always messes it up."
"I won't BS around I will save it up until it is needed." Charmeleon said
Metapod's Confession: I think most of my tribe is lying when they tell me what they will use the money for. I know I am. Some of us are playing for jury votes and Charmeleon is the only one who is honest.
"Well at least we are bonding some." Metapod said "So the five of us until the end."
"Agreed." Squirtle said
Fire Tribe Day 16
The tribe was up and about doing chores as Charizard was with Butterfree getting water.
"So, I have noticed that you and Pidgey are going off together. Any reason for that?" Charizard asked "Secret lovers?"
"No, she knew of a place that has some wonderful flowers." Butterfree replied "I don't eat rice and fish if you have not noticed. I drink nectar."
"Strange I thought it was to get rid of you." Charizard said "I mean has she left you behind?"
"Well, a few times why?" Butterfree asked looking concerned
"Simple, she is making alliances without you." Charizard said "She wants the only other flying Pokémon out of the way so she can dart around making alliances. She made one with me and Charmander and probably with you."
"Well, she did…wait she is playing everyone?" Butterfree looked hurt "She told me that it was just me and her."
Charizard's Confession: Enough waiting around. I have been observing Pidgey enough to make a case to get everyone against her and maybe cause some chaos. First is her closest friend Butterfree. In case you are wondering I am doing this because Charmander was a dumbass and I need to drag her to the merge because of that chicken incident.
"She lied to you just like she lied to me." Charizard explained "she told me to target Ivysaur in the first round but went back on her word. Then she wanted Kakuna off because you and Kakuna might be getting close."
"No way." Butterfree said still in shock.
Butterfree's Confession: I don't believe it…how…so Pidgey was lying to me all this time. Every time we went off to the island to feast on nectar and bugs it was to get me away from camp. I don't know if I can believe Charizard but it makes sense. She has been everywhere around camp. How could I be so stupid!?
Butterfree flew to Pidgey who was in a tree above camp.
"How dare you!" Butterfree yelled "You betrayed me!"
"What?" Pidgey was confused
"You made alliances with everyone here at the camp! Me, Charizard, Ivysaur, everyone!" Butterfree shouted attracting the attention of the rest of the camp.
"Hey I did not…" Pidgey started to say until Butterfree interrupted her again.
"Did you make an alliance with Charizard!?" Butterfree asked
"Yes! Happy now?" Pidgey said flying off.
Pidgey's Confession: Dang it Charizard. I was hoping to be in everyone's good graces but he figured me out. Honestly, I liked Butterfree as a friend but now I have to watch out for her and I need to do damage control. She yelled at me in front of the whole tribe.
"Wow, that was quite a scene." Ivysaur said to Wartortle.
"Yeah, did not expect that this morning." Wartortle said
Ivysaur's Confession: So, I am not sure if Charizard was lying to get Butterfree riled up or if he was speaking the truth. Even though Pidgey admitted it, she could be lying to stop Butterfree from screaming at her.
Grass Tribe Day 17
Squirtle and Bulbasaur were sitting by the fire cooking while the other three are away.
"Listen, I got to ask if you want to go to the final 2 with me." Squirtle offered "Out of everyone here you are the closest I am with."
Bulbasaur looked up "Sure, I am close with Charmeleon and Venusaur but neither offered me a spot for a final 2 deal."
"Great! You will not regret it. I was thinking that once we get to the final 5, we take out Venusaur and Charmeleon first and Metapod will go since he will never win a challenge." Squirtle said excitedly.
Bulbasaur's Confession: Out of the blue Squirtle offered me a final 2 deal. She is tough to beat but I like her a lot and to be honest I rather lose to someone who deserves to be there than win against someone who doesn't.
"Well let's do it. Just stay loyal in the merge and I will take you to the end." Bulbasaur said
"Great, glad to have you on board." Squirtle said as they split off to avoid any suspicion.
Squirtle's Confession: I wanted to bring Bulbasaur aboard to the final 2 since I do trust him the most. Plus, I doubt Charmeleon will take me and Venusaur will likely take Bulbasaur. I need to eliminate Venusaur later in the merge to prevent him from going on an immunity run.
Elsewhere Metapod was watching the others.
Metapod's Confession: I hate not being able to move. When I was a Caterpie I could go anywhere but that was a month ago. Everyone leaves me alone and no strategy talk unless they bring me. Of course, they rarely bring me along anywhere. And I know that if we lose, I am gone.
Squirtle walks over and sits down.
"Want to go somewhere?" Squirtle asked "I can take you out on the raft.
"No thanks." Metapod replied as she looked around "Listen, I know that you want to remain loyal but what are the chances they will take you?"
"Well pretty good." Squirtle replied as she stretches a bit "They seem to trust me."
"But they are closer to each other. Just something to think about." Metapod said
Squirtle's Confession: Out of the blue Metapod questioned me about the other three. All of a sudden, I am questioning my loyalty to the others. Will they really take me to the end or just take me out at the final 4. I need some time to think about it.
Fire Tribe Day 17
Ivysaur walks over to Pidgey who was outside of camp avoiding Butterfree.
"You know you really screwed up." Ivysaur said "But if you come clean you can gain my trust."
"Okay, I did make multiple alliances to open my chances." Pidgey admitted "But I was always loyal to you guys. I just needed to make sure no one else votes for me."
"Did you put my name out there?" Ivysaur questioned
Pidgey shook her head no "No, only the others besides Wartortle."
Ivysaur's Confession: I needed to find out where Pidgey's loyalties lie. I don't trust her as much anymore and while I did get some info out of her, I still think she is hiding things from me.
"Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Ivysaur asked "Because I really don't like being lied too."
"No, nothing else." Pidgey replied "You have to believe me I have always been loyal to this alliance."
"Good, glad to have this talk." Ivysaur said walking away.
Pidgey's Confession: Right now, I am kind of screwed. Everyone knows that I overplayed and my friends either hate or don't trust me. But I can still get back into the game. I am not completely screwed yet.
Butterfree was over by Charmander and Charizard.
"I can't believe she would do that to me!" Butterfree said still upset.
"I know, but she was trying to play us all." Charizard said "And I caught on to her little game."
"I helped." Charmander added
"I mean she took me to an island that was beautiful and used my trust against me." Butterfree added "Why didn't I see that she is using me."
"She used us all. She probably even got out your two allies." Charizard lied
Charizard's Confession: I am making it up as I go along but if I can string Butterfree along I can get her vote for the next Tribal Council…if we lose. If not then bye-bye Pidgey first chance I get I will get her out. Someone like her is dangerous in the merge. Not a physical threat and could latch onto the other tribe.
"Just stick with us and we will protect you." Charmander assured
"Thanks guys." Butterfree said shaking their hands "I got your backs"
Butterfree's Confession: After crying all night Charizard and Charmander helped me out. My goal is to eliminate Pidgey anyway possible. I would even consider throwing a challenge but not right now. I need to see how I am after reward.
Reward Day 17
"Welcome to reward." Jeff said as both tribes came on "Fire Tribe, take a look at the new Grass Tribe. Beedrill voted out of the last Tribal Council."
Some were surprised.
"Charmander what is your reaction to this?" Jeff asked
"Grass Tribe is fall of idiots. That is two people they voted off that could win them challenges." Charmander said
"Today's challenge you will going into the jungle looking for five items. Flint, a machete, a pot, a bag of rice, and a tarp. First Tribe to bring back all of the items wins reward. Since Metapod cannot walk someone will carry him but Metapod will have to look for the items. The winning Tribe wins a box of canned food and candy bars. Fire since you have one extra member who will be sitting out?"
"I will." Charmander said
"Charmander take a seat on the bench everyone else discuss who goes first and let us begin." Jeff said
Order in which they go out.
Grass: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmeleon, Venusaur, Metapod (With Venusaur carrying him)
Fire: Charizard, Ivysaur, Wartortle, Butterfree, Pidgey
"Survivors ready…" Jeff said pausing "GO!"
Bulbasaur and Charizard move out. Charizard ran ahead as Bulbasaur followed. They both found the machete and ran back.
Squirtle ran out taking a different route than Ivysaur. Squirtle ran back with the flint as Ivysaur came back with a pot.
Charmeleon and Wartortle ran out and came back with the other pot and other flint.
Venusaur and Butterfree go out. Butterfree found her item first and came back with a bag of rice. Venusaur finally came back with the tarp as Pidgey flew out. Venusaur picked up Metapod and headed out. Pidgey flew a different direction.
"I know where it is." Venusaur said "I saw it when I was looking."
"Okay let's get it." Metapod said they headed the opposite direction as Pidgey.
Soon someone came back with their item.
"Grass Tribe wins reward!" Jeff said as the tribe cheered "You losing streak is over. Grab your canned food and candy and head back to camp. Sorry Fire Tribe I got nothing for you."
Grass Tribe Day 17
The tribe came back to camp cheering for their win.
"Nice job team." Charmeleon said "We kicked butt today."
"We lost a few but we made a comeback." Venusaur said "Nice teamwork"
Venusaur's Confession: We were on a bit of a losing streak but we showed that even with two strong members down we can still win. We need to bring it to immunity tomorrow.
They started to open a can each to celebrate as Squirtle opens the bag of candy bars. "Hey we each get one just for us!"
"Neat!" Bulbasaur said "Each flavor is our favorite!"
"You guys can have mine." Metapod said "As a gift for picking up my slack."
"You sure?" Venusaur asked
"Yeah."
Metapod's Confession: The challenge sucked. I was carried around like I was luggage. It was degrading it. Not worth the reward but I had to act nice to those jerks because I do not want to go home.
After each member got a candy bar Squirtle walked towards Bulbasaur.
"Hey! Are you really on our deal?" Squirtle asked
He nodded "Yeah, I think you deserve to go far with all of the work plus I am sure Venusaur and Charmeleon have their own final 2 deal."
"Thanks." Squirtle said
Bulbasaur's Confession: Not sure why Squirtle asked again about our deal. I will fulfill it as long as she stays loyal. Must be paranoia.
Squirtle walked off.
Squirtle's Confession: My biggest question is. Do I really trust Bulbasaur? While he does not strategize as much as me, he is nice but I have to remember that he is playing a game as well and could be using me. I got to think about this.
Fire Tribe Day 17
"Well, we tried." Ivysaur said as they all got back to camp. "We were bound to lose one."
"Would have been better if Pidgey did not blow the challenge." Butterfree said rudely
"Hey! I am sorry for strategizing. Can we just drop it?" Pidgey asked
"No, I thought we were close." Butterfree said flying away. "Don't blow the next challenge."
Butterfree's Confession: I cannot even look at Pidgey anymore. I am so frustrated with her I could just cry. She betrays me then she screwed up in the challenge. At least it was not immunity.
Ivysaur sighed and goes over to Charizard and Charmander.
"Can we please spend one day with us trying to kill each other?" he asked
"Well, we have not done anything." Charmander stated "Just watching."
"Yeah." Charizard replied "I mean Pidgey dug her own grave."
Ivysaur's Confession: Going through this tribe is like walking on eggshells. No matter what someone is going to explode on someone else. I am trying to wade through it and not get swept away in the middle of it.
Butterfree was off by herself.
Butterfree's Confession: I spent my life without many friends. So, when I finally found one, I could rely on I find out that she is going behind my back. It hurts more than anything.
Immunity Day 18
The tribes walk in "Welcome to immunity." Jeff said "Today's challenge you will all be using planks to get through a series of platforms. Each plank is a different size so you might need to do some trial and error. Once everyone is across the platforms you will all have to run 1 mile to the finish line. First tribe across wins immunity. Fire since you have one extra member who will be sitting out?"
"I will." Pidgey said "Since someone thought I blew the last challenge."
"Pidgey take a seat on the bench the rest of you let's get started." Jeff said as everyone got to the starting line. "Survivors ready…go!"
Everyone start getting on the platforms with Metapod being carried. Charmeleon was placing the planks down being accurate as they crossed them easily. Fire tribe slowed down a bit as Charmander and Charizard put a couple of smaller ones which were not long enough. Grass Tribe easily navigated the platforms and started to run to the finish line.
"They are going ahead!" Wartortle said
"I know!" Charizard snapped as they got the last plank down and started running. It was a close race as Fire Tribe made up some ground but Grass Tribe was too far ahead.
"Grass Tribe wins immunity!" Jeff yelled "Congratulations Grass Tribe you are safe from tonight's Tribal Council. Unfortunately for Fire Tribe one of you will be going home tonight. Head back to camp!"
Fire Tribe Day 18
Charizard kicks a rock as he was frustrated "We could have won that…no one to blame though."
"Well, someone is going tonight." Wartortle said "But we did as well as we could."
"We have a few hours to decide." Charmander reminded "We have to figure out who to get rid of before the merge."
Wartortle's Confession: Personally, I prefer Charmander but a lot can happen and who knows who will be going home tonight.
Butterfree talks with Charmander and Charizard.
"I want Pidgey to go tonight." Butterfree said "I do not want her in the merge she could flip and make deals with them and they will target you first Charizard."
Charizard scratched his chin "I know I prefer to keep us all together."
"I know so if you will vote out Pidgey I will join you in taking out the other two in the final 5." Butterfree offered
Butterfree's Confession: I want Pidgey gone and I will do anything to do it. She betrayed me and she will betray the others first chance she gets.
Elsewhere Pidgey was talking to Wartortle and Ivysaur.
"So, I know that Butterfree is targeting me. Charmander told me so I think we should target her." She explained
"Is that the best choice?" Ivysaur asked "I mean she is strong and might be more loyal than the fire types."
"Trust me it is the best choice." Pidgey replied "She won't stay with us. We took out her allies and she hate me. As long as she stays here, she will continue to vote for me."
Pidgey's Confession: I feel like my chance is to try to get a tie. I think I can win in a tie breaker between her and I might be able to get Charmander or Charizard on my side. Either way I should be safe tonight since I have a good relationship with everyone here.
Pidgey then leaves.
"So, who are you for?" Ivysaur asked
"Not sure, either could be good." Wartortle replied
"Well, I am going to check with Charizard." Ivysaur said walking off.
Ivysaur's Confession: I need to check in with Charizard because I want his opinion and I want him to be with us in the merge. If I value his opinion, he might just stay loyal until we are deep in the merge.
Ivysaur met with Charizard before they headed out.
"So, it is between Pidgey and Butterfree." Ivysaur said "I think we should put it up to a vote."
"I agree, and if there is a tiebreaker?" Charizard asked
"We flip a rock. Flat side Pidgey goes, round side Butterfree goes." Ivysaur said "Should be even."
"Well, I don't think it will be a tie." Charizard said
Charizard's Confession: This move is to set the stage for the merge. We decided without flipping a rock and now one of the two tribemates with wings are going. I know who it is. You don't…. yet.
Tribal Council
"Welcome to Tribal Council. Take a seat and let's get started." Jeff said as everyone takes a seat. "So, after a bunch of victories you guys got hit with two tough defeats. What happened?"
"They came together as a team." Charizard said "They made up for their weakness and just did slightly better. It's no matter we will get rid of some fat on the tribe."
"So, as the merge nears do you guys vote out someone weak or a threat?"
"We want someone who is most likely to be loyal." Ivysaur replied "While this tribe has had their differences and drama we came together for this vote and hopefully this will keep up together."
"Pidgey, what do you base your vote on tonight?" Jeff asked
"Simple, I am voting for a former friend who felt that I betrayed her." Pidgey replied
"She means me." Butterfree said "You were planning on betraying me and even this vote you will try to get me out."
"So, all of this drama is from Pidgey talking behind your back?" Jeff asked
"Well, she made alliances with everyone." Butterfree answered "She voted out my allies and if she gets to the merge, she will make alliances with the other tribe to save her feathers."
"Charmander, anything to add before we get to the vote?" Jeff asked
"No, I am just glad it is not me on the hot seat tonight." Charmander replied
"Well, it is time to vote. Ivysaur you are up first." Jeff said as Ivysaur goes up and votes followed by Wartortle, then Charmander, then Charizard, then Butterfree votes.
Pidgey
"Honestly you over strategized during your stay here. If you did not do that I might be going home." Butterfree said as Pidgey votes.
Butterfree
"I thought we were friends." Pidgey said
"I will read the votes." Jeff said grabbing the urn "First vote…"
Pidgey
Butterfree
Pidgey
Pidgey
"Sixth person voted out of Survivor…"
Pidgey
Pidgey sighed and flew up with her torch without saying a word.
"Pidgey the tribe has spoken." Jeff said snuffing her torch as Pidgey flew off "You guys voted based on how the merge goes. Now it is 5-5 going into the merge. Head back to camp."
Pidgey's Final Words: I was hoping to make it to the merge but it seems like the entire tribe did not trust me. I do wish them luck I want to see Ivysaur and Wartortle in the final 2 though. The rest can make it 5th, 4th, and 3rd.
Voted for Pidgey: Butterfree, Charizard, Ivysaur, Charmander, Wartortle
Voted for Butterfree: Pidgey
Notes on the booted: Pidgey was expendable to me but she had a great social game but she over strategized and that ended up being her downfall.
