Pokémon Elimination Show

Introduction

A Pikachu stands in front of a gigantic red and blue pokéball.

"Hello, everyone! I am Pikachu, your new host. Welcome to the series premier of my new show! Let's introduce everyone at the dock!"

Location: Dock

Pikachu stands on the dock next to a Jigglypuff. She waves to the camera.

"Hello, audience! I am Jigglypuff, and-'

"So, you might be wondering why you're all here, contestants," Pikachu interrupts. "You've all been brought here to compete in a reality show! You'll each be eliminated, one by one, until only one of you is left! That person will be the winner, and receive the grand prize of 1,000,000 Pokédollars!"

"...Pikachu. You forgot to, y'know, get the contestants off the boat," Jigglypuff says.

"Oh, right... Ahem... Hey Bulbasaur, come out of the boat!" Pikachu loudly yells.

Bulbasaur walks down the boat stairs onto the dock looking slightly displeased.

"Well, Bulbasaur! Tell us what you'll do if you win!" Pikachu says.

Bulbasaur is silent.

"Bulbasaur... Please answer the question. Our audience needs a reason to root for you, after all."

Bulbasaur remains silent. Jigglypuff glances at Pikachu.

"Bulbasaur, I get it. You're scared. This is international television. It's okay, take your time."

Bulbasaur sighs.

"I don't think they talk," Jigglypuff says.

"I knew that! I was just... Testing. Squirtle, why don't you come out of the boat?" Pikachu changes the topic.

Squirtle trips on a random pebble and hits every single step with his head before falling flat on his face.

"ow..."

"He's fine," Pikachu says while Bulbasaur drags Squirtle off of the dock, not bothering to lift him up. "Yeah. He's definitely okay. His shell must've protected him... Let's get Charmander out here!"

Charmander carefully descends the dock steps, then runs for land, clutching his tail. Pikachu doesn't even get to ask him a question and he's too lazy to walk to land. "Alright, Cater-"

"Caterpie, please come out of the boat," Jigglypuff loudly asks whilst smirking at Pikachu.

Caterpie hops down the steps which probably should've been a ramp.

"Caterpie, what will you do if you win?" Jigglypuff asks before Pikachu can open his mouth.

"I'm going to use the money to find my brother! I know he's out there somewhere!"

"Wow, that's very nice!"

"Okay, enough, it's time for me to talk! Weedle! Come out of the boat."

Weedle comes out of the boat. He immediately makes a bold statement.

"When I win I will rub it in all of your faces and laugh! Ha! Like that!"
