Episode 1: Go with the flow!
We see a bus thats driving through a rugged path, as we jump straight into the gist of things
Flamigo was sitting on the bus staring out the window, Ninjask looked uncomfortable as he sat and the road bumps shook the bus.
Gumshoos had payed extra for luxury class, which was just sitting in front of the bus and Lokix was sitting in power saving mode.
The other players were Bergmite who was texting on her phone and Bellibolt who looked super giddy and excited to be sitting on the shitty bus.
"When are we getting theeeeereeee..." Togepi whined a bit but with a smile.
"Out of all contestants to return from the previous season, why did one have to be you..." Gumshoos growled clearly annoyed by the egg.
"...initiating power on... battery saving disrupted by obnoxious auditory soundwaves.. loading Axe Kick attack.." Lokix eyes began to shine as he glared ag Togepi.
The egg girl just had a big smile on her face; suddenly however the bus began to slow down and stop.
"...alright everyone we are here..." Mawile spoke, she was wearing a blue bus driver hat.
"They couldn't get a better bus driver, the entire ride was shaky as hell chica!" Flamigo side eyed her.
"...get out." Was the only thing Mawile responded.
The seven players got off the bus and they were in some sort of City
"I see you all had a safe bus ride here!" Ninetails smiled at her old returning contestants
"Safe?! That cheap tincan was anything but that!" Ninjask yelled
"I payed for luxury, that was not worth the extra thousand I payed, I demand a refund." Gumshoos spoke
"I wanna go again, the bumps made me head feel funny!" Togepi giggled, Flamigo who was standing next to her slowly moved a bit more away
"Well I see a lot of familiar faces here ready to try again to win yet another 5,000 Poke Cash Prize!" Ninetails smiled
"According to my observations, I've noticed a handful of players are missing." Lokix spoke
"Good observation Lokix, good job!" Ninetails cheered
Lokix looked unamused.
"Wait uh who's missing?" Bellibolt asked.
"Squirtle and Totodile aren't returning due to their very recent finalist show off a few weeks ago.
"Yeah cause it's been only a few weeks since last season." Togepi glanced at you reader with a big smile.
"...Handy and Stonjourner also aren't returning for pretty obvious reasons..." Mawile spoke as she got off the bus.
Scene quickly changed to show a Metal Balloon who was watching the show on the TV, they cheered YES! At Handys announcement.
"What about the other ones?" Flamigo asked.
"Turtonator said he wasn't interested in returning and Dhelmise went abroad to do and I quote, Pirate Adventure: Search for the Dark Sea Pearl!" Ninetails.
"That sounds like an awesome spinoff series we will never see!" Togepi giggled.
"Well you must have a backup plan for this shortage of players right?" Gumshoos asked.
"Indeed 7 players is just too small." Lokix spoke.
"Don't worry I found just the solution, from Season 2 give a warm welcome to my son Ninetails!"
A Ninetails walked from behind a building into view.
"Mom do we all have to hide behind there, we been waiting there for like thirty minutes.." Ninetails frowned.
"Wait I thought she was ninetails..." Bergmite looked confused.
"My head is dizzyyyy~" Togepi had swirly eyes.
"My sonn Mike will go by the nickname Nix this season as to not confuse others." Ninetails smiled.
Nix looked irritated.
Suddenly two players came out from behind the building in a ball of dust fight.
"Two more season two players! Durant and Heatmor!" Ninetails smiled.
"I told you to stay the (bleep) away from me big nose (bleep)!" Durant screamed.
"Not my fault your big bug butt got in the way of my entrance, ugh you're always such a mess you (bleep)!" Heatmor glared at her.
"Awe man we can't curse this season?" Bergmite asked.
"Laaaamee..." Ninjask scoffed.
"Yeah sorry we need to keep censorship maximize viewership and ratings." Ninetails apologizes.
"Rats... this means I can't say (Extremely long bleep sequence)" Togepi began saying an unbearable word.
Many contestants around her looked surprised, even Durant and Heatmor stopped fighting to look at the eggs profanity.
After Togepi finished, she had a big smile on her face.
"...uh yeah Togepi, you can't say that on TV.. I uh.." Ninetails looked awkward.
Then a Shiny Chandelure came out from behind the building and levitated towards the cast, without saying anything.
"EEEEEE!!!!! IT'S YOUUUUU!!!!" Togepi launched herself to hug the ghost, but phased right through and faceplanted on the floor.
Chandelure boredly peeled her off the floor, and Togepi looked happy and excited to see her.
"You didn't tell me you were gonna be in this season!" Togepi smiles.
"...decided to keep it as a surprise..." Chandelure spoke.
"Long time no see Chandelure, I see your fire still covers one of your eyes, heh pretty edgy if you ask me." Gumshoos smirks.
Chandelure boredly glanced at him and hit him with a Flamethrower attack, Gumshoos coughed a bit of smoke out as he was burned and his blue suit had a small fire on it.
"...didn't ask..." Chandelure spoke.
"Alright one of our final players is..." Ninetails spoke.
"Gosh! I haven't been in a season since like Ever! This is gonna be so fun!" Hitmonlee looked happy.
"Didn't you die at the end of Legendary World Tour?" Lokix asked.
"Nah, that was just a practical illusion cause by the time space blast, gosh some people can be such Idiots! Good thing my epoc Karate skills will help anyone who's on my team!" Hitmonlee looked cocky.
"So is that it?" Asked Flamigo.
"12 players? Not bad!" Bellibolt smiles.
"Nope! Not doing this mistake again, we need two more and we really couldn't find any old players that wanted to return to the game..." Ninetails spoke.
"...I wonder why..." Chandelure rolled her eyes.
"So! We brought two brand new players! Here is the first one, everyone welcome... Sunflora!" Ninetails announced.
"Um... hi..." Sunflora shyly waved as she walked out from behind the building.
"Hello there." Nix waved.
"And our final player that will join this season is..." Ninetals then looked shocked. "Oh she's already standing there with you guys."
The crowd of contestants looked behind them and most were surprised to see a tall green bird, she had a lot of charms around her neck.
"Greetings everyone, may the spirits help us all during this game." Xatu nodded.
"Dude how did you get here..." Nix asked.
"One could say I found a shortcut, or the spirits showed me an otherworldly path... but in reality, I just flew." Xatu showed off her wings.
"Cool." Flamigo smiled.
"Alright that's all the players! Now we will make teams! After i reveal who the host is!" Ninetails smiles
"You aren't hosting again?" Asked Nix.
"Oh no no no, hosting last season made me a bit... sadistic and rude... don't wanna feel like that again..." Ninetails frowned
"...it's Host Syndrome, a metal disorder cause by hosting too much." Lokix spoke.
"Wow for real?" Hitmonlee asked
"No. I just pulled it out of my (bleep)." Lokix looked annoyed at Hitmonlee who looked sad.
"Please don't tell me Mawile will be new host..." Gumshoos was cleaning his suit and removing the scorchness of his fur
"I tried asking her for she refused." Ninetails frowned
"..." Mawile.
"Good choice of words!" Togepi smiles
"So who's hosting?" Asks Bellibolt.
"They're from season 1, got top ten and are an ice type... everyone welcome... Cryogonal!" Ninetails announced.
Gasps!
"..." Cryogonal.
"Good choice of words!" Togepi smiles and Chandelure lightly nudges her
"What are they doing here!" Ninjask asked
"You couldn't had picked a better host than them?" Chandelure asked, she looked annoyed
"Well... no... Volcarona is busy with her berry factory, Druddigon is on Kalos having a honey moon with his wife Solrock, Janitor is lost in time and space, you get the rest, nobody wants this job..." Ninetails shrugged.
"But... Cryogonal... really..." Bergmite grumbled.
"What's wrong with me." Cryogonal spoke, his voice was eerie and cold, sounded robotic and uncanny yet also lifeless and ennui.
It gave many contestants chills as they shivered.
"...you just answered your own question." Chandelure looked bored.
"Well when I asked Cryogonal if they wanted to host the show, they said." Ninetails pointed at the cold octagonal levitating pokemon.
"...ok." Cryogonal replied.
Many players didn't seem convinced.
"..can you hurry this up... I want the season to be over so I can get my second paycheck..." Mawile spoke.
"Sure! Okay so this season it will be themed on... Boys Versus Girls!!!" Ninetails cheered.
"Isn't that sexist." Bellibolt frowned.
"Yeah and like, what about the Nonbinaries!" Bergmite asked.
Silence, literally no one was saying absolutely anything for almost a minute, things started to get awkward until Cryogonal spoke.
"...Team 1 has Sunflora, Xatu, Bellibolt, Bergmite, Durant, Togepi and Chandelure..." Cryogonal talked.
"You are all the Great Girls!" Ninetails cheered.
"Oh great I'm stuck on a team with a bunch of weaklings!" Durant growled.
"Says the one foot bug..." Chandelure side eyed her.
"...Team 2 has Flamigo, Ninjask, Gumshoos, Heatmor, Lokix, Nix and Hitmonlee..." Cryogonal spoke.
"You're all the Boss Boys!" Ninetails smiled.
"Cool." Heatmor smirks.
"Now get on the bus everyone, cause we are gonna be driving a lot this season!" Ninetails announced.
All the contents got inside the bus as it drove off towards somewhere, it was driving for a while until suddenly it came to a stop.
"Thanks for driving us Mawile!" Ninetails smiled at her.
Mawile boredly flipped her off but her hand was blurred.
"We are in Shield Farms on the Unova Region!" Ninetails announced.
"...I remember when this place was Floccesy Ranch when I was still a Litwick... didn't know someone bought it." Chandelure spoke.
"It's still Floccesy Ranch partner!" ??? said.
Everyone turned around and saw a Breloom walk towards them, she was carrying a big stack of hay and placed it on the ground
"Name's Amanda Shields! My parents and I have been taking care of this humble farm for generations! We sell all kinds of crops and our moo moo milk is to die foeh!" Breloom smiles
"Hey there!" Bellibolt waved
Breloom stretched her arm and was able to handshake her from 7 feet away
"Ooooo stretchy!" Togepi smiles
"Miss Ninetails told me that y'all wanted to borrow mah farm for ye challenge! I agreed as long as Pa and Ma weren't home, they get a bit feisty when strangers come 'round these parts!" Breloom gave a chuckle
"What about your farmly duties, wouldn't you need to take care of that or is that the challenge?" Asked Lokix
"Ah shake it off! I have a voluntary helper to do mah chores while I show ye the challenge today!" Breloom smiles
"Voluntary isn't the exact words I'd say..." Wigglytuff growled
"What?! Wigglytuff what are you doing here?" Asked Chandelure
"This ol' girl thought she could best me at a best of three arm wrestling contest just cause she's bigger than me! I easily wiped the floor with her." Breloom looked smug
"I'm from a rival farm, and I didn't want her to take my property so I asked her if I could help her with her farm work in exchange for not taking my Mareep." Wigglytuff spoke with a southern accent
"Now she works here for a whole month, sucks to suck" Breloom smiled
"Is stealing sheep from enemy farms a common thing farmers do?" Asked Heatmor confused
"I'll search it up on my phone." Bergmite began typing really fast
"...enough, time to start with the challenge, take us Breloom..." Cryogonal spoke
"Ooo weeee! You're colder than a harvest on a November night partner! But sure! Follow me everyone and we shall begin the game!" Breloom smiled and began walking deeper into the farm
"I really hope the challenge isn't farm themed..." Gumshoos groaned
"We are in a farm, what you think gringo?" Flamigo scoffs
They kept walking for a bit.
"How much longer are we gonna keep walking, this is taking forever!" Ninjask complained.
"It's just down the road, I don't wanna make the farm look like it's been hit by a devilish twister." Breloom smiled.
Ninjask mumbled something unhearable by the cameras and looked away.
They all kept walking until they were standing on a clearly visible line.
"Alright we are here! Just stay there and your Hosts will explain the roles, I'll get on position!" Breloom looked happy as she walked towards a large stack of hay on the other side of the acre.
"Ahem, Cryogonal care to explain the rules?" Ninetails asked.
"...fine, challenge is simple, get to the other side of the acre with most team members to win; flying, teleporting and digging isn't allowed..." Cryogonal spoke.
"When Brelooms back is turned, you're safe to get to the other side of the acre at your preferred pace! But when she turns around and looks at you, you must freeze in place and not move or you'll be faced with one heck of a disqualification!" Ninetails spoke.
"Rules sound easily enough..." Sunflora spoke softly.
"Alright Amanda, we are ready! Let's begin!" Ninetails announced with a megaphone.
Breloom nodded and turned around.
Players from both teams began running towards the other side of the acre, some were slow and others were fast as they did incredible progress
"Haha this challenge is just too easy for me, of course I'll win! I'm the best!" Ninjask zoomed through
Ninetails blew her whistle and Breloom turned around
Many players instantly stopped, however Chandelure and Ninjask were both levitating in place
Breloom quickly threw two large stack of hay at both of them which hit them both
"It seems Chandelure and Ninjask are both out for their teams!" Ninetails announced
"Not fair! We can't control our levitating!" Chandelure glared
"...whatever..." Cryogonal spoke.
The two began levitating towards the bleachers the hosts were on, they both looked pissed.
"Ugh I think I swallowed some Hay!" Ninjask sneered.
Ninetails blew her whistle and Breloom turned around.
Many contestants began running, the whistle was blown again and Breloom turned to face them.
Flamigo tripped on a rock and fell down.
"Ouch mierda... uhh hey there-" Flamigo was hit by the haystack.
"Pssst hey Potato boy, I bet you can't dodge all the haystack like I can!" Togepi told him.
"Uh like yeah I can, the powers of Arceus and Anime on my side!" Hitmonlee replied.
"Then let's race leg boy!" Togepo giggled, she and Hitmonlee began racing, Breloom kept throwing hay at both of them but they dodged it.
"Hitmonlee! What are you doing!" Lokix glared as he stayed perfectly still.
"I'm being an epic karate master!" Hitmonlee was then smacked by hay.
"Haha!" Togepi looked back to taunt but she was smacked by hay.
Breloom turned around, the contestants began running away they were halfway done, the whistle sounded and Breloom prepared her throwing arm.
Bellibolt tripped and got a face full of hay!
Bergmite was standing still boredly but got a notification on her phone.
"Uh oh..." Sunflora frowned.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Durant growls.
"Don't worry, I'm not that phone obsessed." Bergmite rolled her eyes.
Then a second notification.
"Okay two means it must be serious..." Bergmite moved to take out her phone and read the notification.
"Oh it just seems my favorite streamer is live." Bergmite read and then was smacked by hay.
"We are getting destroyed anyone has a plan?" Asked Durant yelling and not moving
"Hmmm.. oh i know, who's a good boy, who's a good boy, you are yes you are!" Xatu told Nix.
"Huh what are you... OH NO!!!!" Nix looked shocked as his nine tails were wagging on its own, he got smacked by hay.
"Nicely played Xatu!" Durant laughed.
"...Great Girls only have Durant, Xatu and Sunflora... while Boss Boys just have Gumshoos, Lokix and Heatmor..." Cryogonal spoke.
"Men, we cannot keep losing!" Heatmor states.
"When Breloom turns around just run for a bit until you feel she will turn around then freeze, do not fall for the tricks of the females." Lokix spoke robotically.
Whistles!
Breloom turned around yet again.
The players all began running towards the finish line, it was only a couple of yards away now.
Whistles again, Breloom turned around.
"Yummy taste scrumptious Durants!" Durant smirks evilly.
Heatmor was sweating, trying to not lose control but he couldn't help it... his fire tongue came out for a millisecond to salivate the air.
Breloom threw a stack of hay at him.
"Y'all making this too easy!" Breloom giggled.
"Heatmor ugh..." Gumshoos groaned.
"We need to make sure the girls lose members... but how?" Asked Lokix.
"I got it." Gumshoos smirks evilly.
Whistles! Breloom turned around and the final 5 kept running, whistles again.
"Ew! Heatmor why are you kissing that chick man!" Gumshoos gaged but he didn't move.
"He's what?!" Durant turned around and got smacked by hay.
"Sucess, we have lowered their numbers!" Lokix spoke.
"Ugh how is she so damn good at throwing large haystacks..." Durant asked as she walked towards the bleachers.
"Not sure but she does look familair..." Lokix spoke
Whistles! Breloom turned around
Sunflora, Xatu, Gumshoos and Lokix were all running, then froze as soon a they heard the whistle
Gumshoos was standing still but a single strand of hey was floating through the air and landed directly on his right eye
"AUGH! (BLEEP!)" Gumshoos moved and rubbed his eye.
Breloom quickly threw a haystack at him, Gumshoos was on the floor covered in hay.
"Wait a second... aren't you the same Amanda Shields that retired from being a boxer in the Unovan Boxing Championship?" Lokix looked surprised, but didn't move.
"Golly, no one has recognized me from my UBC career for a long time, haven't done any of that in 'round a dozen years haha... but enough about me, it's time to end this challenge once and for all!" Breloom looked determined.
Whistles! Breloom turned around.
Sunflora and Xatu were running but they were both a bit slow, Lokix was much faster.
Whistles again! Breloom turned around however Lokix kept running and gave a massive jump!
Breloom looked amazed as Lokix jumped straight over her.
"What in tarnation?!" Breloom looked flabbergasted, but as Lokix landed he technically crossed the finish line.
Sunflora and Xatu were still stating still despite Brelooms back being turned to face at Lokix, the whistle hadn't blown.
"I did it... I won for my team!" Lokix looked happy.
The members of the Boss Boys cheered in the bleachers.
Ninetails however blew her whistle, and Breloom kept facing Lokix having a smug look
Sunflora and Xatu finished the rest of the field and both crossed the finish line.
"It seems Great Girls win the first challenge of the season!" Ninetails announced.
Great Girls on the bleachers cheered, mostly... Chandelure and Durant didn't cheer.
"What?! This is unacceptable! I crossed the finish line first!" Lokix yelled.
"True but I said, whoever has the most members across the finish line, not whoever crossed first... you only had one while they had two, so the Boys lost." Ninetails shrugged.
Gumshoos was still trying to clean the hay out of his eye, Heatmor looked annoyed with the rest of his team.
"Ugh you're all morons, I should just vote all of you off!" Ninjask snarls.
"Feeling is mutual insecto." Flamigo glares.
"Karate, Farms, Milk." Hitmonlee was meditating sitting on a haystack.
"So uh wen is the elimination ceremony?" Asked Nix.
"...there is none yet..." Cryogonal spoke.
"Huh, what do you mean?" A bewildered Heatmor spoke.
"Just like last season, your fate on your game will be placed on the viewers! That's right, they get to vote if you stay or if you leave! No contestant voting!" Ninetails smiled.
Many groans and complains from thr boy team, the girls didn't seem too affected.
"Thanks for letting us do the challenge on your farm." Ninetails thanked
"Pleasure was all mine partner, it was exciting to have a nice change of pace in this old fields, and yeeehaw that finale was intense hehe, can't wait to see it ok TV! But I recon you's gotta leave, Pa and Ma might return soon with the crops and Wigglytuff n' I gotta clean up this hay mess hehe see y'all!" Breloom waved and began walking away.
Suddenly a bus began driving and stopped near the contestant.
"...k get it, next stop.. who knows where..." Mawile spoke as she sat on the driver's seat.
The contestants all got inside the bus as it began driving away from Shield Farms, Ninetails glanced at a camera and began saying the outro.
"Viewers please tell us if you like or dislike a player! Whoever has a worst score shall be booted first from the game! No rejoins or debuts so choose wisely! See ya next episode on... Cryogonals Newer Roadtrip!!!" Ninetails announced as the bus was driving off, Mawile honked the horn twice cause, why not.
"Why is it called Cryogonals Newer Roadtrip of Cryogonal barely does anything?" Said Flamigos voice from the zoomed out bus.
"Shhhh, don't question it." Ninetails replied, the episode then ended.
