Team Hoenn's portal opened up to a place with several houses with tress houses. Then, Lightning front flipped out of it, the others following suit.

"Sha-bam!" Lightning yelled as he stuck the landing and then looking around, "We be in one freaky season."

"So where are we exactly?" Dave asked as Harold readjust his glasses.

"If we're in Hoenn, then this must be Littleroot Town. It's the first location for Pokémon Trainers to get their Pokémon." Harold explained.

"Wow, this place looks and feels nice. Chris really outdid himself." Topher commented, admiring the view of the place.

"Ignoring the brownnoser, what do we do now?" Eva asked and before Harold could say what it is, they heard a loud scream.

"Someone help me!"

"And there's our answer. Follow the girlish scream." Harold ordered as they all ran towards the scream.

Confession Starts

Harold: I still can't believe that I'm here. Pokémon has always been one of my favorite videogames to ever play. Thank god I don't have Duncan or Alejandro with me. Since they are on the Alolan team and knowing them, they probably got a fire type like Litten and it'll evolved into a fire/dark type. That means I need a water type, which I already do {Shows Mudkip's Pokeball}. Yep, I'm going far this season.

Confession Ends

They all follow the noise until they see a large man in a lab coat running around in circles, a black dog-like creature chasing after him.

"It's Professor Birch!" Harold shouted in excitement

"That dog is chasing that poor man." Sadie said in shock.

"Yeah, we can all see it too." Anne Maria said sarcastically as the man noticed the group of 8.

"Hello! Are you guys from Total Drama!" Birch called out to them, still running around in circles.

"Yes sir!" Sky called out to him.

"Great, would one of you please help me out here!" He pleaded as Eva cracked her knuckles.

"On it." Eva said as was about to attack the dog until Harold got in her way.

"Wait Eva, you can't attack them. It's against the rules." Harold stated as Eva gave him an intense glare but huffed.

"Fine, you're the expert. What's your plan?" Eva asked.

"I'll go and show you all how its done." He explained as he pulled out his Pokeball. "Come out Mudkip!" He threw out his Pokeball and out came Mudkip as the Poochyena noticed him and gave its attention to him now.

"Alright Mudkip, use growl then tackle him!" He called out as Mudkip growled at the Poochyena, lowering its defense, and then giving him a hard tackle to the side, skidding him a few feet.

"How did growling at it even help?" Anne Maria asked.

"Growl is a move that can lower a Pokémon's defense. Mudkip can also use this! Mudkip, use water gun!" Harold explained then ordered his Mudkip as the Poochyena charged at him. Mudkip blasted a small but powerful spray of water towards the Poochyena, sending him flying and onto the ground, soaked and beaten.

"Yes, nice job Mudkip!" Harold praised his Mudkip as Mudkip said "Kip!" happily. Then, Professor Birch walked over to them.

"I must thank you all. I surely would have been lunch if you didn't come around." Birch said, thanking them.

"Wait, I know I'm not a genius or anything by didn't use your own Poke-critter?" Anne Maria asked as the Professor laughed sheepishly.

"I simply wanted to survey what Pokémon are like in the tall grass that I didn't one on me. I never would have guessed one jumping me." He explained. "Now, I would like to continue this conversation in my lab since no Pokémon can jump us there."

"Sure, let's go guys." Harold said as the team followed Birch back into Littleroot Town and into his lab.

"So I've heard from Chris that your all competing for a lot of money." Birch stated.

"Yeah, Chris bumped it up to 3 million this time. Wonder how many hair sprays I can buy?" She pondered to herself

"Or how much time it takes to burn it in front of Sky…" Dave muttered, quiet enough for Sky not to hear.

"I see. Well first off, since you guys know my names, I would like to know yours." Birch said.

"Sure, I'm Sky."

"Sup, I'm Topher."

"I'm Dave."

"I'm Sadie."

"Sha-Lightning!"

"Call me Anne Maria."

"Eva…"

"And I'm Harold, the President of the Pokémon Fan Club!"

"Well, it's nice to meet all of you. So I take that you've all gotten your Pokémon a few moments ago, correct?" Birch asked in which they all nodded. "I see. Well to give you all a piece of advice, if you work hard with your Pokémon and gain experience, I say you'll all make extremely good trainers."

Anne Maria and Eva looked at Lightning when Birch said that, as he was kissing his biceps, them rolling their eyes at the scene.

"Anyways, I'm sure Chris explained some of the rules to you already, so I'll just give you guys your first challenge." He said.

"First challenge already?" Topher asked in shock.

"Yes, I want you all to find my daughter May. She's currently researching Pokémon for me. What I need you all to do is to find her." He explained.

"Got it. Thanks Professor." Sadie thanked as they were all about to leave until Birch then said.

"Wait a minute, I almost forgot to mention. Chris told me to tell any of the contestants that knew about Pokémon beforehand can't reveal any information to the other contestants until said information is needed. So Harold, you can only reveal information when it's need, okay." Birch explained.

"I understand sir." Harold said, agreeing this rule.

"Good, I wish you all luck." Birch said as Team Hoenn left the building.

Confession Starts

Lightning: Dang it! I wanted to use nerd boy as a way to win! Guess Lightning has to play this by himself.

Topher: Smart on Chris' part, not letting Harold give away any information as of yet, but I have a plan. All I have to do is follow what Harold does and I'll be in the finale in no time.

Confession Ends

"So where exactly do we find this May girl?" Anne Maria.

"She should be north of Oldale Town which we have go to thru Route 101." Harold answered.

"What are we waiting for then, let's go!" Eva exclaimed before being the first to head into Route 101.

"Hey wait for us!" Sadie called out as the others followed suit.

Confession Starts

Eva: Was yelling at them a bit much? Maybe. But those guys were taking way too long, and I wanted to get the challenge over with. I just have to make sure to keep my temper in check.

Sadie: Katie, if you're watching this, I want you to know that I'm starting the biggest separation between us ever. I miss you! {Starts crying}

Confession Ends

The group starts going thru Route 101 when Sky walked up to Dave.

"Hey Dave." Sky greeted nervously.

"What do you want?" Dave asked angrily.

"Look, I'm sorry for what I did to you in the finale last season. I just couldn't find the right words and feel really guilty for not telling you about Keith." Sky explained.

"Oh yeah sure, you totally forgot about telling me you had a boyfriend." Dave said, not falling for her one bit.

"Ex-boyfriend" Sky corrected, which that caught Dave off guard.

"Wait what?" Dave said, not quite hearing what she said.

"I broke up with him. I was going to break up with him eventually, but I couldn't since I had to leave for the show. I liked you a lot Dave, I really do, but I just couldn't be with you until I broke up with Keith." Sky explained further while Dave got over his shock and scoffed.

"Yeah right, like I'm going to believe that." Dave said, in denial.

"But Dave-"

"Just leave me alone already!" Dave yelled before walking faster, making Sky sighed in defeat.

Confession Starts:

Sky: Ugh, what am I doing! I'm trying to make amends with Dave, not trying to get him to be my boyfriend. {She sighs} It's okay Sky, he'll come around. Just gotta give him time.

Dave: That couldn't have possibly been true. Why break up with him over me? Well it doesn't matter, she's going to get what's coming to her, just you wait.

Confession Ends

"So Harold man, how does Lightning catch some Pokémon?" Lightning asked as they continued walking.

"Well you need Pokeballs to catch Pokémon, but you can only buy Pokeballs after we return to Professor Birch with May." Harold explained.

"Drat!" Anne Maria yelled in anger.

"And what Pokémon can we find?" Topher asked.

"What you can find is-"He was interrupted when a Chatot swooped down from out of nowhere and started pecking Harold on top of his head.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Gah!" Harold yelled in pain, trying to cover his head.

"Shut it Harold. Shut it Harold." The Chatot said as he then flew away, leaving Harold to nurse his head.

"What was that? It looked a bird with a musical note on its head?" Sadie asked as Harold kept rubbing his head.

"That must have been a Chatot and my guess must belong to Chris." Harold said, answering the best he can.

"He must really not want us to break the rules." Sky stated as Topher laughed.

"Oh classic Chris. He always- "He stopped talking when he started to smell something sweet. "Hey, do you guys smell that?" The others looked as Topher started following into a pair of trees. "Must be up there-"And was once again interrupted when a Carnivine swooped down from the tree, scaring the ever living crap out of him. Topher shrieked and jumped into the arms of Dave, who collapsed on the ground from his weight.

"What the heck was that thing!?" Topher exclaimed in horror as the Carnivine started laughing at him.

"A Carnivine. Must also be Chris's." Harold said as Carnivine took off into the forest.

Confession Start

Anne Maria: What is even happening right now?

Dave: If some Pokémon are like that, then you can guarantee I'm not catching any of those.

Chris: Hahaha, the looks on their faces. And before anyone asks, yes, I had Pokémon on me before the contestants came. I just didn't want to ruin the surprise. Also, they're GREAT rule enforcers.

Confession Ends

"Are you okay Topher?" Sky asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Topher answered.

"That's great and all, but can you please get off of me!" Dave yelled as Topher got off of him.

"So if we're all done screaming can we go now?" Eva asked impatiently.

"We should give Harold & Topher a minute Eva." Sadie said to her.

"Scary girl right. Lightning needs to find that May girl so he can catch sha-Pokemon." Lightning said, backing Eva up for once.

"It's fine guys. I've endured worse." Harold said as he got up from his feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine also, thanks for asking." Topher added, dusting off his clothes.

"See, they're good. Let's go." Eva said as she went off as the others glared at her but followed after her.

Confession Starts

Harold: {Still nursing his head}: Gosh, Chris is such a jerk to me! But it could be worse, Blaineley could have been the host instead.

Topher: Wasn't really expecting Chris to do that. Comes to show you how cool & cruel he is. {Suddenly someone bangs on the wall of the confessional yelling "Carnivine!" causing Topher to scream in fear.}

Confession Ends

They all kept going thru the route until they were met by a Zigzagoon who jumped in front of them.

"What's that?" Sky asked.

"That's a Zigzagoon. They're common around Hoenn." Harold explained.

"Should we leave it alone?" Sadie asked.

"You have three options. One of us could fight it and your Pokémon stronger, could ignore it and not fight, or could capture it if we had Pokeballs. So I think we should- "He couldn't finish his sentence when Lightning pushed him out of the way.

"No way Lightning ain't running. Lightning never runs!" He yelled as he clicked Torchic's Pokeball. "Come on out Fire Chicken!"

"It's Torchic!" But he ignored Harold's correction as he threw his Pokeball to release Torchic.

"All right Torchic, peck out its eyes!" Lightning ordered but Torchic looked at him with a confused look.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? "Lightning asked.

"Lightning, Torchic only knows the moves Scratch, Growl, and Ember." Harold called out to him.

"You should have said so earlier nerd boy." Lightning said as he turned back to his Torchic, "Alright Torchic, scratch that raccoon!" This time, Torchic understood and ran towards the Zigzagoon and scratching him with his talons. The Zigzagoon shook it off and tackled Torchic to the ground.

"Shake that hit off and use that ember!" Lightning called out as Torchic shook off the pain as he fired a little flame from his beak at the Zigzagoon doing damage.

"Nice! Now finish it with scratch!" He ordered as Torchic scratched Zigzagoon once more, this time knocking him out.

"Sha-booyah! That's how you do it!" Lightning cheered, doing a pose as Torchic cheered at his success.

"Wow, nice job tough guy." Anne Maria said to him.

"Yeah, that was a good job Lightning." Harold added.

"Psh, it was nothing. You did good Torchic." Lightning boasted as he returned Torchic to his ball. Meanwhile, Sadie went over to the fainted Zigzagoon and placed him next to a tree.

"This should be a good place for him to rest." Sadie said.

"Yeah, good idea Sadie." Sky said.

Confession Starts

Lightning: Lightning did good in beating that Zigzagoon. He wasn't even worth capturing since it took only three hits to take him out. Lightning needs sha-strong Pokémon that can duke it out for hours unlike Lightning's team.

Sadie: I know we have to fight Pokémon, but it kinda feels animal abuse. I just really feel bad for them.

Confession Ends

After more walking, they finally made it to Oldale Town where only has a few houses, a Pokémon Center, and a Pokemart.

"Here we are, Oldale Town." Harold announced.

"Kinda small don't you think?" Anne Maria asked.

"Well, it only has the necessities like a…" He trailed off as he noticed the same Chatot looked down on the team from the roof of the Pokémon Center.

"…Pokémon Center." Harold said fearfully as the Chatot squinted his eyes at him before chirping, signaling its okay for him to speak.

"What's wrong Harold?" Sky asked.

"Fearing for my life but I think its okay now." Harold said as he pointed to the Chatot.

"That same bird again." Dave said as Topher sheepishly laughed.

"Well, it's certainly a lot better than- "Topher also trailed off when he saw on the other side of the town, the same Carnivine who scared him, maliciously smirking at him. He gulped in fear.

"Hey Harold, could you please wrap this up before I before food?" Topher begged to Harold as Harold fearfully nodded.

"Right, this is a Pokémon Center. This can heal any of your Pokémon that have been hurt and its free for use for anyone." Harold summed up as he pointed to the Pokemart. "That's the Pokemart, you can buy any items you need for you."

"Huh, well that's good to know." Sky said.

"Sha-right it is, now where is that May girl?" Lightning asked.

"She's just north, not much further but we just have to get past…" They all noticed Carnivine wasn't there anymore.

"Huh, must have left." Topher said, praising Chris in his mind that he's gone. But that was short-lived when he felt a presence behind him. It was Carnivine who stood behind him.

"Carna!" The Carnivine yelled making Topher scream and running off north.

"Wow, runs fast for a brownnoser." Eva said.

"After him team!" Harold exclaimed as the others ran after Topher as Chatot and Carnivine laughed at their misfortune.

Confession Starts:

Chris: {Seen laughing his butt off before wiping a tear form his eye.} That was the hilarious thing I think I've seen yet. Serves him right, thinking he can take over MY show. And if he stills thinks he can, I have a few more friends he'll like to meet {Showing a Pokeball in his hand before laughing maniacally again}

Confession Ends:

After catching up with Topher, they entered Route 103 where May is supposed to be.

"Here we are, Route 103." Harold said as the others looked at their surroundings.

"So where is May?" Sadie asked.

"Is that her?" Anne Maria asked also, pointing to the girl in the distance with a red bandana.

"Yep, that's her. Let's go guys." Harold said as they all headed to May's direction. May was looking at something until she turned around.

"Oh, hello there." May greeted before she took a look at the group and realized something. "Wait, are you guys the contestants on that game show my dad was talking about?"

"Sadly yes." Anne Maria answered.

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you all, I'm May." May introduced herself. "What's yours?"

"Sure, I'm Harold."

"Anne Maria."

"…Eva"

"I'm Dave."

"I'm Sky"

"I'm the Sha-Lightning!"

"I'm Topher"

"And I'm Sadie."

"Well, it's nice to meet you all." May said. "Hey I was wondering, do you guys mind if I can battle one of you?"

"Sure, who wants to go first?" Harold asked them.

"Step aside, it's Lightning time!" Lightning exclaimed and was about to go if Sky didn't stop him.

"Um, why don't I go Lightning?" Sky asked but Lightning glared at her.

"I already called it so Lightning gets to go." Lightning said.

"But you already went with that Zigzagooon!" Sky shot back, now getting angry.

"I don't care, Lightning goes!" Lightning yelled back but Eva decided to break this fight up.

"Enough! Since you two are arguing like babies, I'll go, got that!" Eva yelled at them shutting them up. Lightning just huffed as Sky glared at him. May sweat dropped throughout all of that.

"Those two sure are competitive." May stated.

"You have no idea." Both Anne Maria & Dave said together as Eva brought out her Pokeball.

"You ready? I'm not going to hold back just because you're a kid." Eva said as May smirked as she brought out her Pokeball.

"Don't worry, it's more fun that way." May said as they both clicked their Pokeballs.

"Come out Torchic!" They both yelled as they threw their pokeballs, releasing both of their Torchics.

"Oh wow, you've got a Torchic too." May said in amazement.

"Yeah, well this once is going to crush you. Torchic use scratch!" Eva ordered as her Torchic ran to May's Torchic to scratch her.

"Dodge it and use growl!" May ordered as her Torchic dodged the claw swipe and growled at Eva's Torchic, lowering its attack. Eva growled.

"Wanna play like that fine. Use growl then scratch!" Eva's Torchic nodded as he growled at May's and proceed to scratch her.

"Torchic are you okay?" May asked her Torchic as she nodded. "Good use scratch again!"

"Dodge it." Eva said as her Torchic dodged the other Torchic. "Now use ember!"

Torchic then spat out a little flame at the his other, landing direct hit at his back but it looked like it didn't do much.

"Alright Torchic use scratch again!" May yelled out.

"You too!" Eva also called out as the two Torchics ran towards each other, jumped up into the air, their talons out in front of them and both slashed at each other, Eva's Torchic landing on its feet while May's Torchic fell onto the ground, defeated.

"And that's the match, Eva wins!" Harold announced as Eva smirked at her victory as Team Hoenn, minus Lightning, clapped for her victory.

"Nice job Eva." Sky said

"Torchic!" May exclaimed in worry as she ran towards her Torchic, picked her off the ground and hugged her. "You did great Torchic, have a good rest." She said as she brought her back in her Pokeball. Meanwhile, Eva when over to her Torchic and picked him up.

"You did well. Take a rest, you've earned it." Eva praised her Torchic before sending her back in her pokeball.

"That was a good match Eva." May said, "that Torchic of yours was really strong." She shrugged.

"I may not be a genius like Harold, but it isn't hard really to figure out the ropes." Eva explained as May nodded.

"Well I'm going to back to my dad, I bet you need to see him again too?" May asked.

"Yeah, he said he would give us something if we found you." Harold explained.

"Oh okay, let's head back guys." May said as they all went back to Littleroot Town.

Confession Starts

Anne Maria: I don't know why but that May girl reminds me an awful lot like Zoey. As much as I hate her from stealing Vito from me, I ain't going let my anger out on a kid that looks and acts like her.

Confession Ends

They all made it back to Professor Birch's lab where Professor Birch was waiting for them.

"Ah welcome back Team Hoenn, I see you've found my daughter." He said.

"Yeah, and Eva here beat me in a Pokémon battle." May stated.

"I see. Well good job Eva." Birch congratulated.

"Yeah thanks, so what do we do now?" Eva asked, not wanting to waste any time.

"Well first I have to give you all these." Birch said as he passed Pokedexs to each of them.

"What are these?" Dave asked.

"Well Dave these are- "But was interrupted when he saw Chris's Chatot looking at him thru the glass, glaring at him. "On second thought, I'll let Professor Birch say it."

"Okay then…" Birch said, a little confused but carried on, "these are high-tech tools that automatically makes a record of any Pokémon you meet or catch but most information can obtain by catching one."

"Oh shoot, he's right." Anne Maria as she looked at her Pokedex looking at the information of Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Chatot, and Carnivine but most information she has is on Treecko.

"Wicked, I get a Pokémon and a Pokedex on the first day." Harold said excited.

"Oh yeah, and you might need these too." May said as she passed each of them six Pokeballs.

"Sha-sweet, are these the Pokeballs nerd boy was talking about?" Lightning asked.

"Yep, you just have to weaken the Pokémon enough and throw it at them." Birch explained some more as May also remembered something else.

"Oh yeah one more thing." May said as pulled out 200 pokedollars and gave it to Eva. "Here this is for you beating me."

"Wait, we can get money if we beat other people?" Eva asked in shock.

"Yep, it's basically the law of the land around here." Birch said.

"Sweet." Anne Maria said, liking this law.

"And that pretty much covers everything you need." Birch said.

"Great but where do we go now?" Topher asked.

"The next place you should is Rustboro City where you can get your first gym badge. It's just west of Oldale Town." Birch said.

"Nice. Well let's go guys." Harold said as the others started to leave the lab.

"Good luck to you all." Birch called out.

"Yeah, I hope one of you guys win." May called out also as Team Hoenn began their journey to Rustboro City.
