So last chapter was not the best, but this is my first time really writing something like this, I'm still learning. I did see some feedback, and I am hoping I can improve a little this chapter. Perhaps a cast this size was not a great idea for my first major fanfic, but too late now, I have to work with what I have. With that out of the way, let's get into episode 2!

"Last Time, on Total Drama Island! 18 campers arrived to compete for one million Poke! They competed in a somewhat unsuccessful icebreaker challenge. Frigibax and Edelgoss were the last mons standing, so they get to pick the teams. No one went home, but that changes today! Who will it be? Find out now, on TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND!"

After the intro, we cut to Tornadus leading the contestants into the mess hall, inside is the chef, a rotund pink Pokemon with a long tongue. "Greetings, I am your humble chef, Tab-"

"Lickilicky! Our chef Lickilicky!" Tornadus made a look at Lickilicky, and the chef seemed to realize his mistake.

"Yes, I am your humble chef Lickilicky! A 5-star microwave Chef!" The pink blob was sweating, leaving the contestants to look at each other concerned.

~~~Staravia confessional~~

"So, one of the conditions for being allowed on the show was that we are not allowed to use our real names. I don't know why, but they said there would be consequences if we did."

~~~Nickit confessional~~~

"The "consequences" of using our real names is actually in the fine print of the contract. We basically just have to go into the recording booth and dub over the line. Not much of a punishment is it?"

The silence is broken by Kommo-o, who did not seem nearly as concerned as the others "Microwave chef?"

"Yes, I put the food in the microwave, it's quite delicious." Kommo-o didn't bother questioning it, and he went in line, conveniently he ended up right behind his sister.

"Hey sis! How'd you sleep?" Hakamo-o glared at her brother, he didn't seem to take the hint. "I didn't really get to sleep. One of the guys is a snorer, I'm not sure who it is yet, but I should be able to figure it out soon!" By the time he had finished talking, he noticed his sister at the back of the line, he sighed. He is then interrupted by Beedrill pushing him, and the three people in front of him out of the way so he can be first in line.

"Well? What are you waiting for, GIVE ME MY FOOD ALREADY!" Lickilicky places a hot pocket on his plate. It has somehow been burnt. "What the fu-" Tornadus flew and put tape on his mouth. Beedrill started violently shaking.

"Sorry, but we can't have you swearing anymore, our editors threatened to go on strike" Beedrill began flailing even more, dropping his plate, the others all moved through the line. "Oh, while I have you all together, we should pick the teams! Frigibax, you can go first, who do you want on your team?" Frigibax immediately pointed to Floette, she happily floated over to him.

"Yay! New friend! I'm so excited to get to know yo-' Tornadus shushed her. "Yeah, we don't have time for that, Edelgoss, who do you pick?"

"Um…well…" she looked around the room, and noticed someone hiding in the back "Carbink!" Carbink didn't move for a few seconds, seemingly surprised by this, they then slowly floated over to Edelgoss, their eyes looking at the floor the entire time.

"Not the first picks I was expecting," commentated the host, "Frigibax, your turn again!" Frigibax seemed unsure, until Floette chimed in.

"Ooo, we should pick Staravia, she's wearing my friendship bracelet!" Frigibax nodded, and pointed at Staravia.

~~~Staravia confessional~~~

"She uh…made these for everyone. Honestly…the only reason I didn't take it off was because…I forgot. Nothing against Floette, but we've only known each other for a day."

"I reckon I'm up again" Edelgoss looked around the room again, "Doliv" she walked over without so much as a smile.

"Frigibax, your-" before he could finish, the small dragon pointed at Kommo-o "Alrighty then, Edelgoss, you're up once again" Hakamo-o ran in front of Edelgoss and started frantically waving

"Uh…I guess Hakamo-o" Hakamo-o smiled, which caused her brother to once again frown.

~~~Montage Time~~~

Frigibax points at Sawk

Edelgoss picks Pachirisu

Frigibax points at Nickit

Edelgoss picks Delibird

Frigibax picks Castform

Edelgoss picks Krokorok.

"Only four mons left to be picked!" The camera pans over to the last four, Beedrill, Crawdaunt, Igglybuff, and Growlithe. "Frigibax, who do you pick" Frigibax thinks it over carefully, and then points at Igglybuff. Growlithe seemed enraged.

~~~Growlithe confessional~~~

"How have I not been picked, I am far and away the greatest mon here! These simpletons must simply not be able to comprehend the true majesty of a heroic leader!"

"Edelgoss, your up next" Edelgoss looked concerned

~~~Edelgoss Confessional~~~

"I may have only been here a day, but I reckon I don't want any of them on my team…but if I have to pick one…"

"I choose Growlithe" Growlithe's expression changed from anger, to pride.

"Last pick, Frigibax, do you want Beedrill or Crawdaunt?" Frigibax sighed and pointed at Beedrill. "Great, that means Crawdaunt goes to Edelgoss' team"

~~~Crawdaunt's confessional~~~

"I may have been picked last, but this team has a lot of…easy targets. I'm going to enjoy this.

"Frigibax's team, you will henceforth be know as the Brilliant Diamonds!" their team logo pops up on screen…it's literally just Pokemon Shuffle Dialga. "Edelgoss' team, you will be dubbed the Shining Pearls" their logo pops up, and again, it's just Pokemon Shuffle Dialga. "While you're eating, I'll announce your second challenge! Around the island, I have hidden 6 flags, 3 for each of your teams. Two are in the cave, two in the forest, and two by the dock. Whichever team finds

all three flags first wins immunity!" Castform spoke

"That sounds…shockingly easy, what's the catch?"

"The catch is, they are hidden very well, so you may want to split up into groups. Oh, and before I forget" Tornadus pulls out a totem, it's of one of the genies, but it's nearly impossible to tell which. "This, is a cancellation totem, there are four hidden around the island, if you play it during an elimination, said elimination will be immediately canceled and you will not lose a member. Anyways, I hope you finished eating, because the challenge starts….NOW!" Both teams ran outside, the Diamonds towards the woods, and the Pearl's towards the docks.

~~~BD~~~

Sawk began to speak "Comrades, I suggest we split into teams to search more effectively. Nickit, can you swim?"

"Uh…yes? Why do yo-"

"Good, then you go with Frigibax and Floette to the dock, Beedrill, Igglybuff, and Kommo-o should go to the cave. I will take Staravia and Castform to search the woods." Nickit shrugged, and ran off to the dock followed by Frigibax and Floette, but not everyone was so fond of these instructions. Beedrill was visibly angry, but unfortunately, he still had tape on his mouth so he couldn't express his dissatisfaction. As the forest team left, Beedrill realized he had no other options, and made his way towards the cave

~~~SP~~~

We cut to them on the way to the dock, until Edelgoss stops her team. "Y'all, we should really split up, we can cov-" Growlithe interrupted her

"As team leader, I say we split up into groups." Edelgoss glared at him, but he kept talking smugly. "I imagine the dock flag will be easiest, so we should only send two people to get it. Crawdaunt you're water type, so who do you want to take with you?"

"Carbink", the lobster made a sinister smirk towards them, causing them to instantly begin to shake.

"Right then, so the nex-" Edelgoss interrupted him

"Carbink clearly doesn't want to go, maybe someone els-"

"Nonsense, if she really didn't want to go, she would have said something." Growlithe looked over at the two of them, "Now, off to the docks with you."

~~~Edelgoss Confessional~~~

"Maybe Beedrill would have been a better choice…"

"As the heroic leader I am, I'll take the cave, and I'll bring Krokorok and Delibird because us guys can handle the dangers inside, the rest of you go to the forest!" Krokorok's eyes go wide and Pachirisu's face goes red.

"Excuse me? What do you mean by that?" The tiny electric rodent seems quite angry, Growlithe seems to not understand what is wrong with what he said. Edelgoss pulls his other 5 teammates to the side.

"While they're arguing, I reckon we should search the forest. Doliv, you stay here and tell them to search the cave."

"I shall do as you command." the four of them run off into the forest

~~~the dock~~~

Nickit, Frigibax, and Floette arrive, the tiny flower smiles widely.

"What's our plan, friends!" Nickit rolls his eyes and begins to speak. "Well, there's a chance it could be underwater…so I'll check underwater. You two can dig around the beach and see if you find anything." Nickit dived into the water and the other two began digging. As this started, Crawdaunt and Carbink arrived. Carbink spoke very quietly.

"W…what should we do?" Crawdaunt looked over and smirked.

"What's that, I can't hear you?"

"W…what should we-"

"You want to take a swim? Ok!" The lobster punches them straight into the sea, they try to float back to the top, but Crawdaunt swims out to them, and punches them back under the water.

~~~Crawdaunt's confessional~~~

"I'm not too worried about the challenge, Tornadus is probably lazy, he probably hid both teams flags in the same place, so I'll just wait for the other team to find it"

~~~Cave entrance~~~

Beedrill, Igglybuff, and Kommo-o enter, and almost immediately notice the flags. Kommo-o smiles.

"Heh, so much for being hidden well." at that moment, who else but REGIGIGAS walks from the darkness of the cave. Kommo-o's jaw drops and Igglybuff starts crying.

~~~Kommo-o confessional~~~

"Why is Regigigas here?"

~~~Tornadus confessional~~~

"Me and Reggie go waaaaay back. I asked him for some help with the show, and he was happy to wait in the cave for 24 hours!"

Igglybuff's cries really got to Beedrill, because he somehow managed to swallow the tape despite not even really having a visible mouth.

"Would you SHUT UP" he smacked the pink blob right into Regigigas, it did nothing to the titan, but Igglybuff got a red spot on her head, and started crying even louder, to the point where Beedrill, Kommo-o, and Regigigas are all unable to move

~~~Forest, BD team~~~

Staravia is carrying Sawk through the sky. "See anything Sawk?"

"Negative"

"Can I just say, I really admire how you took charge of the team earl-"

"We have no time for idle conversation, finding the flag is our TOP priority!"

"Oh…right….sorry"

Not too far from them, Delibird is also flying, as Edelgoss floats with the wind. On the ground, Krokorok and Hakamo-o walk.

"So, you do volunteer work, I never would have guessed by looking at you" Hakamo-o has a slight smirk and Krokorok turns red.

"Ayo, don't talk about it alright, it was just a punishment for vandalizing a wall, nothin more than that!"

"Oh you do Graffiti? That's cool, do you have any pictures of your work." Krokorok started sweating intensely.

"Uh…well…see…you really hate your brother don't you?"

"Yeah…I know it may seem unfair, but he deserves it." Krokorok sighed in relief, having managed to change the subject, but now he became curious.

"What…did he do?" Before she could answer, she tripped on a log, as Krokorok went to help her up, he noticed pink and blue inside the log. "Look, the flag." Krokorok grabbed the pink one, and the two of them ran back towards the mess hall.

~~~The Dock~~~

Frigibax and Floette had been digging for a while now, and hadn't found anything. The silence was awkward, so the flower girl tried to break said silence.

"So, what's your favorite movie?" Frigibax shrugged, "Favorite sport?" he shrugged once again, "Favorite color?", I think you know what happened next. "Do you…not like to talk." He nodded.

"No know to say many words, not much speak in home. "

"Oh ok! Sorry if I pressured you, I just really like talking with people!" At that moment, Carbink was hit across the beach and slid across the sand, they seemed completely drained, Crawdaunt was laughing. At that moment, Nickit broke to the surface.

"I got the flag, let's go!" the three of them left, and as they did, Crawdaunt smirked, he looked underwater where Nickit had been, but realized the flag was nowhere in sight.

~~~Nickit confessional~~~

"I took the Pearl's flag too, it would have been idiotic not to, now I can hide it elsewhere, and they are practically guaranteed to be up for elimination.

Tornadus' voice projected over the loudspeakers "Both teams have found the first flag and are currently tied!"

As Edelgoss was floating, she noticed that Growlithe and Pachirisu were still arguing, and that Doliv was simply watching them, she quickly floated down there. "What in tarnation are you still doing here? Doliv, didn't you tell them to go to the cave?"

"I was going to, but I have never observed an argument before, it is quite fascinating." Edelgoss sighed and proceeded to use Leaf Tornado to get their attention. "Listen up, we already found the forest flag, and no one is checking the cave yet, I reckon you two better start, unless y'all want to be up for elimination." Growlithe scoffed.

"Pray, why should I listen to you? In case you haven't noticed, I am clearly the sup-" Delibird had arrived a few seconds ago, and pulled tape out of his tail bag, and proceeded to tape his mouth shut.

"That should keep him quiet for a bit." Delibird panted, clearly tired from the flying "Eldegoss…and I…are going to check…on the dock guys…you three….go to the cave" Pachirisu dragged Growlithe to the cave, Delibird and Eldegoss ran to the dock, and Doliv walked off to a completely unrelated direction.

~~~Cave~~~

The Diamond's cave crew hadn't really made any progress. Igglybuff hadn't stopped screaming, so no one could move. As the Pearl's arrived, Growlithe and Pachirisu instantly became paralyzed from the sound. This went on for a few more minutes, until Beedrill, motivated purely out of spite, slowly dragged his way over to Igglybuff, and punted her out of the cave. Everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief, until they realized Regigigas was very much still a threat. Beedrill looks at the titan, smirks, and lunges at him with a Twineedle attack, Regigigas simply smacks him away, and he crashes into Growlithe, knocking them both out. Kommo-o looks at the titan. "Ok so…bad idea", he turns to Pachirisu, "Maybe we should work together…y'know…until we deal with-" before he finishes Pachirisu had already jumped at the Titan, biting him with a super fang, followed immediately by a Nuzzle. The Titan goes in for a counter, but can't move from paralysis, which allows Pachirisu to use a Discharge which knocks the Titan out. Kommo-o stands there, his mouth wide with shock, as Pachirisu quickly grabs her flag and runs out.

~~~Pachirisu's confessional~~~
"In addition to being a track champion, I am a very competent battler as you just saw. I don't want to claim I'm the best player here, but c'mon, we all know I am."

Once Kommo-o got over his shock, he remembered he was in the middle of a challenge. He grabbed his flag and Beedrill and went to leave, but he noticed that Pachirisu had left Growlithe behind, so he grabbed him too, and made his way back to the mess hall.

~~~Dock~~~

When Edelgoss and Delibird arrived, they immediately noticed Carbink and the state they were in. Edelgoss turned red, "I knew he would do somethin' like this!" She grabbed Carbink and started dragging her, she turned her head to Delibird. "I'm takin' Carbink to medical, you stay here and help find the flag." She began dragging Carbink away, and Delibird sat down for a second, trying to catch his breath, until he noticed Crawdaunt breaking the surface of the water. Delibird ran onto the dock to get closer.

"Hey…uh…what happened to Carbink?"

"Who cares, I can't find the flag, will you help?"

"Uh…sure I can dig up he-"

"It's not on land, Nickit found his in the water, ours is underwater too."

"Oh…I don't know if I can swim…I just flew over the whole forest and my ar-"

"But you SAID you would help!"

"I…know but…" Delibird sighed "You're right, I'll help" Delibird dived in the water, as he did, Crawdaunt got out, and ran towards the cabins.

~~~Crawdaunt confessional~~~

"Why do work when you can make idiots like that do it for you? Because of my genius, I get a few hours of extra sleep. Then I can use that energy for something more productive, like hurting Carbink!"

~~~Forest~~~

Castform was searching closer to the ground, figuring that Staravia and Sawk wouldn't be able to see something hidden from high up. She looked up and noticed the clouds had begun to grow dark, rain was coming, her search became more frantic, and Tornadus' voice played on the loudspeakers. "Both teams have found 2 flags, still tied, but whoever brings the next flag first will win the game." Castform began to sweat, but at that moment a pink ball fell from the sky. It was Igglybuff, she was knocked out. Castform had no idea why she was flying through the sky, but that didn't matter, because when she landed she broke a log, and inside that log…

"The flag!" Castform grabbed it immediately and began floating back.

~~~Cabins~~~

Doliv had been wandering the camp, seemingly looking for something to do, until she noticed the doors of one of the cabins opened, curiously she opened it and saw Crawdaunt lying on a bed. He hadn't quite fallen asleep yet, so Doliv entering caused him to jump up. "What are YOU doing here Freak Girl?"

"I noticed that the door had been left open, I thought that something interesting could be happening inside."

"You interrupted my sleep…because you thought it would be INTERESTING?" Crawdaunt jumped from the bed.

"Well I had no way of knowing tha-" before she could finish, Crawdaunt pushed her and slammed the door. Doliv fell down the stairs and landed face first in the dirt. When she picked her head up, she noticed something under the stair, something that had a pinkish color. She reached for it and pulled it out. "This is…one of the flags we were looking for." The mess hall was right across from her, but Castform was also floating there, with Staravia and Sawk running behind as moral support, with the last flag. Doliv realized the situation, and started running to the mess hall. Unfortunately Doliv is very slow, so it wasn't going that well. Sawk began to speak,

"Keep going Castform, we are so close to victory!" at that moment…the rain came. Castform noticed immediately.

"No no no no" Castform began glowing, when the glow ended, she had a new watery form, she stopped running. Sawk immediately ran over to her.

"Castform, why have you stopped, keep going!"

"What's the point….we're going to lose anyways…" her aura had completely changed.

"What are you talking about? The mess hall ir RIGHT THERE, just keep run-"

"I can't do anything right…I would probably just mess it up." While this exchange was occurring, Doliv ran into the mess hall.

"And the Shining Pearls are SAFE, Brilliant Diamonds, I'll see you at the elimination ceremony!" Sawk looked over at Castform…who was lying on the floor.

~~~We cut to the campfire~~~

The Brilliant Diamonds are gathered, Tornadus is floating in front of them, Thundurus is also there, but it seems he does not want to be. "It must be really embarrassing to lose the first challe-" Beedrill interrupted him by screaming

"Shut up, just GET ON WITH IT!"

"Uh…right…proceed to the voting confessional to cast your votes!"

~~~Sawk confessional~~~

He's holding a slip that says Sawk "You cost us the challenge, it is only natural that you get eliminated."

~~~Floette confessional~~~

Holds a Beedrill Slip "Oh…voting seems so mean…but Beedrill was mean to Igglybuff earlier, so I vote for him.

~~~Beedrill confessional~~~

He's holding an Igglybuff slip "Do you ever SHUT UP!"

"All votes have been collected, I'll read them out." Most of the Diamonds seemed calm, except Castform, who was freaking out.

~~~Castform confessional~~~

"I knew my condition would be a challenge…but I didn't think it would get me eliminated first!"

"First vote…Castform" Castform started sweating, Sawk looked over, confirming who voted for her.

"Next vote…Beedrill" The bee's eyes immediately lock onto the host

"WHAT! Who the HELL voted for me?" Floette turned to him

"Oh…I did…sorry" Beedrill's eyes twitched

"Oh…you're going down you little sh-" Tornadus did a loud cough

"Can I read the votes please?" Beedrill breathed in, and somehow composed himself.

"Yes continue"

"Good, third vote is for…Castform" She began sweating even more, to the point it's a miracle she didn't become her rain form.

"Next vote…Beedrill" He remained calm, but his eye was visibly twitching

"Fifth vote…Igglybuff."

"W…what me…why?" her eyes got watery

"Next vote…Igglybuff" she was on the brink of crying, Nickit covered his ears, bracing for impact.

"Beedrill" he was on the brink of absolutely going ballistic.

"Igglybuff, that makes 3 votes Igglybuff, 3 votes Beedrill, 2 votes Castform. There is only one vote left. First person voted out of Total Drama Island is…."

Beedrill eyes are twitching, rapidly

Igglybuff's eyes watered

Castform realized that she was safe, and sighed in relief

"Igglybuff, 4 votes are enough, you have been eliminated" she was about to start crying, but Beedrill had enough and punted her once again. "Uh…I'll send Thundururs to get her." Thundurus rolled his eyes and flew away. "The rest of you, are safe, go get some sleep."

~~~Castform confessional~~~

"YES! I mean…Igglybuff's elimination was tragic…but I'm just glad it wasn't me."

~~~Nickit confessional~~~

"Yes, Castform lost us the challenge…but Igglybuff is clearly the bigger liability, it would have been illogical to vote for anyone else.

Tornadus flew to the dock, "One down, 17 to go. Who will be our next lucky loser? Find out next time, on TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND.

~~~Postcredits~~~

We see Tornadus and Lickilicky in the camera room. "You almost slipped up earlier bro, you really have to be more careful."

"I just don't get why we still have to be anonymous, isn't she in jail now"

"Yes, but what if she breaks out. We have to be careful. You remember what she did last time! She went after the winner of the first season! We can't risk that happening again!"

"...You're right…I'll try to be more careful…"

Yeah….idk if this is better than chapter 1 or not.

Also…I know Igglybuff didn't really get much focus despite it being her elimination episode…but Igglybuff was kinda just made to be eliminated first, I really didn't have much of a grasp on her personality other than just "crying", but she did at least do some stuff. It's kinda difficult to balance screen time, but that will hopefully get better as others get eliminated.
