Last time the Keldeo's Justice Swords dissolved leaving only three teams left in this game. The remaining KJS members were absorbed into other teams and Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6 and Reuniclus-tpidude73 returned! However they would be put into teams after this elimination. In the immunity challenge that revealed the contestants' taste in Pokemon music, the VSS won immunity, meaning the MRS and GDA will each vote someone off. Actually, only one team had to vote. I'll explain more after these confessionals

Snivy-LolliPopGirlMeow(GDA): who in the world wanna hear Lavender Town music. Didn't they would get seizure after hearing it?

Axew-yymastaconfuctious(VSS): YES! We finally won another challenge! About bloody time! Team VSS is the shizz! Let's keep this up guys! WOO!

Escavalier-TheMysterious2634(GDA): I have to start thinking about the late game, and I think you would allign with this one group. That group would crush me. Why not get one out now when it's easy?

Durant-Woodenfan(GDA): So far in the game, I can taste it! Well, that is, if I can taste anything...what do Durants eat? Steel?

Leavanny-masterofflam(GDA): Darn! I hope I don't get eliminated for missing the challenge. I feel horrible about, but life has been driving me crazy right now. Lets hope we pull off a win next time though! Go GDA!!! :D

Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(MRS): it sucks that we lost and it sucks that we had a quitter, but on the bright side, I'm safe, we don't have to vote, and I was gonna vote off the guy that quit anyways:)

Joltik-ShinyStoutland(GDA): Sorry buddy, it’s your time to go.

Swanna-kevandkeith42120(VSS): I'm finally on a winning team. I just hope VSS keeps this up. The less I have to vote before merge the better.

So for Meloetta's Relic Singers, they are exempt from the vote since Carracosta-CharmanderIsAwesome quit the game. 

34th place: Carracosta-CharmanderIsAwesome. Unfortunately we've had a few quitters already but what can you do? He's got some things to sort out with his real life and hopefully things get better for him. Glad you were able to complete as long as you could.

Now for Genesect's Drive Arsenal. It was a 5-3-2 vote between Leavanny, Ferrothorn, and Bisharp. Leavanny and Ferrothorn both forgot to do the challenge. I'm not sure why Bisharp is here since he hasn't done anything wrong. The first player safe with 2 votes is.......................Ferrothorn. Alright so either Leavanny or Bisharp will be the first one voted off of the post dissolution GDA. And with 3 votes, the last player safe is.......................................LEAVANNY!

Bisharp-regice112. What can I say? This is a perfect example of a blindside. Ok maybe not that perfect since maybe you didn't do that well in this last challenge and a few others but still it was a shocking result since you did the challenge unlike Leavanny and Ferrothorn. Interesting....

Also, the two returning players will fill those posts. For doing better in challenge 11 than Reuniclus, Vanilluxe won the advantage of picking his team first. Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6 chose to join the Genesect Drive Arsenal. That means Reuniclus-tpidude73 will join Meloetta's Relic Singers. Interestingly Vanilluxe and Reuniclus are rejoining the teams that voted them off before.

A lot has changed in this game. We're down to our final 32 (including 2 more returners coming at a later time) and each of the three teams still have 10 players. But the votes will be more complicated as more twists loom.

Thanks for playing CharmanderIsAwesome and regice112

Challenge 12

This challenge is simple. Send me an interesting piece of trivia that has to do with an aspect of Unova or Unova itself. It can be a Pokemon trainer from Unova. A Pokemon from Unova. A location from Unova. As long as it has something to do with Unova. The more interesting your trivia is, the better. Also, no copying. I prefer a wider selection of trivia so don't all give me trivia about the same topic. The team that does the best job and participates the most wins immunity. 2nd place votes off 1 player. 3rd place votes off 2 players. The challenge ends in about 32 hours (so a bit later than 8 AM October 1st, 2013). If you have any further questions or concerns, let me know.

The following players have strikes

Leavanny-masterofflam(1 strike)
Lilligant-clilmama33830(1 strike)
Ferrothorn-2319mi(1 strike)

Interesting how all the players with strikes are Grass type Pokemon. Alright so get going! But please comment on this blog post with your reactions to Elimination 11! Much appreciated :)

Challenge 11: Pokemon Musical

Ok so first of all don't be alarmed by the challenge name. No way would I base a challenge in my camp on one of my least favorite aspects of Generation 5. But it's kinda related. Basically you need to tell me what your favorite Pokemon song is and explain your choice. It can be video game music (for example, Viridian City theme) or anime music (for example, Master Quest). Variety is a good thing to have with this challenge but it's your opinion. Definitely do your best explaining. Also sending a video containing that piece of music or song is a bit more helpful :) This challenge ends sometime the night of September 26th. So between 7 pm and 12 midnight most likely. The following players have strikes

Munna-tacoburger22(1 strike)
Carracosta-CharmanderIsAwesome(1 strike)
Zoroark-firefang20 loses his two strikes since he had a valid excuse for not doing the past two challenges
Bouffalant-jacobwinner1999 loses his strike since he was grounded

Reuniclus-tpidude73 and Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6 are not exempt from this challenge. They'll be competing against each other to see who gets first pick of their new team after elimination 11.

Alright if you have any questions, let me know. I'll update this blog post every time someone does the challenge so keep track on this page, keep hitting refresh, and cheer on your team in the comments below.

Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6(couldn't decide between Barry's battle theme, Together Forever, Double Trouble, Old Chateau Music, and Gen 5 music as a whole; provided videos and explanations for each)

Ok so first of all Vanilluxe will get to choose which team he ends up on first. So Reuniclus, that means you get the leftover team. And the results are in

1st Victini's Searing Shots (Immunity)
2nd Genesect's Drive Arsenal (Vote off 1 player)
3rd Meloetta's Relic Singers (Vote off 1 player)

Just when I thought no one else was going to quit, Carracosta-CharmanderIsAwesome, one of the last two addons still in the game, feels like he can't continue in this camp so he will quit the game. That satisfies the elimination requirement for Meloetta's Relic Singers so they do not have to vote someone off. GDA still does, however. Since you're the only team voting, expect voting to be done within 24 hours. Vote off 1 player, explain your votes, and send confessionals

You're all welcome to send confessionals and post comments on this blog post! Please! I want more activity in this camp. It needs to be more exciting :)

Team pride definitely was on the line in today's challenge. No one wants to be those guys who were on the team that didn't last as long as the other teams. 3 teams would still go to elimination but last place would also be dissolved after the vote. With GDA winning immunity, neither elimination nor dissolution were on their minds. VSS got 2nd and MRS got 3rd so they'll each vote someone off but at least they'll still be teams afterwards. After this elimination, KJS will be no more. After 2 wins, 3 3rd place finishes, and 5 last place finishes, they will dissolve after they send two players home. Now for confessionals:

Axew-yymastaconfuctious(VSS): Well yay my team stays intact! A win would be nice but not being forced to a new team is win enough for me! GO VSS! :D

Panpour-joshytje5(KJS): it sucks my team is getting dissolved but it might be for the best as we haven't been doing so well lately

Tepig-firebid1030(VSS): Sorry but you are just dead weight

Snivy-LolliPopGirlMeow(GDA): I take everything back for laughing at MRS. I AM SO DAMN SORRY.

Sandile-nintendofan204(KJS): Sorry that I missed the challenge... I'm having a really difficult time getting them completed in this camp. I can't login everyday during the school year so this has been very difficult for me. If you guys vote me off, I'm completely understanding of your decision. And if not, well thanks for giving me so many chances! Whatever happens, I gotta say, this has been a great camp. I just wish I could've had more time on my hands when it started and I could've enjoyed it more...

Gurdurr-shadethedarksoul8(VSS): well losing again does well suck but it will at least be another easy vote between 2 players who well lost it for our team and im just glad we didn't take last place and have to disband that would've sucked

Pidove-Rhbkblader88(MRS): So close for our team being dissolved!Come on MRS we need to get first!

Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(MRS): Sorry, I was busy guys...But I was excused.. I think it's obvious who is going home on our team.

Bouffalant-jacobwinner1999(MRS): Guys I swear it wasn't my faulti was grounded all day yesterday and all day today, and I'm grounded all day tommorow

Munna-tacoburger22(MRS): I did the challenge too late... D: At least we're not last place though! :D

Scrafty-redfrog45(KJS): Nothing more disappointing than wasted chances.

For the last time we have the Keldeo Justice Swords. It was a 5-3-2 vote between Sandile, Carracosta, and Virizion. The first one out is......................Virizion

38th place: Virizion-TheLazyRiku, right now you've been pretty apathetic towards camps and you definitely checked out of this one since you leave the game with 2 strikes and 5 votes.

That leaves Sandile (2 strikes) and Carracosta (1 strike). Sandile has proven himself in more challenges though but partially because Carracosta was an addon. The final player safe with 2 votes is...............................CARRACOSTA!

37th place: Sandile-nintendofan204. You've been given several chances to improve but it's been too little too late. I'm sure your teammates noticed you were getting busier as well. It's likely for the best that you leave this game.

Now for Meloetta's Relic Singers. It comes down to Munna and Scolipede. Both didn't do the challenge but Munna only has 1 strike as opposed to Scolipede's 2 strikes. In a 5-1 vote, the final player safe is......................MUNNA!

36th place: Scolipede-vidiogamemaster101, once again real life has been hogging your attentions which took its toll on you in this game. When you're focused you're a good a player but you've been anything but focused.

Lastly we have Victini's Searing Shots. Both Petilil and Zoroark have 1 strike but Zoroark did more convincing and had reasons why he didn't do the challenge. In a 5-2 vote, the final player safe is............................ZOROARK!

35th place: Petilil-pokemonand9, you've had your own share of struggles with real life situations lately but you haven't ever alerted me so now you have to deal with elimination. You've usually done well in my camps so it's a shame to see you get voted off like this.

Thanks for playing TheLazyRiku, nintendofan204, vidiogamemaster101, and pokemonand9

Now first off we have the returning players. It's narrowed down to Unfezant(M)-matthewvp18, Reuniclus-tpidude73, Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6, and Golurk-PoryfulZ. I will announce my final decision probably in about 12 hours. Post your thoughts in the comments!

Updated 8:35 pm PST September 23rd, 2013

Don't have much time so Challenge 10 will begin tomorrow. However I will reveal the players that are returning along with how the 3 teams will look. The players returning are

Reuniclus-tpidude73 and Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6! Congratulations to both of you! I have a good feeling you guys will redeem yourselves through this 2nd chance.

No hard feelings to Unfezant(M)-matthewvp18 and Golurk-PoryfulZ hopefully since I hope you understand it was a really difficult decision. However you guys definitely have a realistic chance of returning at the 2nd and final return opportunity if you're still interested at that point.

But where are Reuniclus and Vanilluxe? Well they get a pass this round. They'll be put on teams after elimination 11 where they'll fill the gaps of the recently voted off players. However they will still have to do the challenge and whichever one of those two that does better in the challenge gets first pick on which team they'll be on. So hang tight for now but post your opinions on the comments section!
