Finally I managed to get to this! I apologize for the wait! A challenge that determined who had prediction skills, mastery of type matchups, and maybe a little bit of luck was the challenge that granted Meloetta's Relic Singers their first victory. 2nd place were Genesect's Drive Arsenal who put up a good fight. Not far behind in 3rd were the Victini's Searing Shots. In 4th place was unsurprisingly the Keldeo's Justice Swords who got off to a bad start. 4 more players will be eliminated after these confessionals.

Bouffalant-jacobwinner1999(MRS): YES I WON IT FOR MY TEAM :D:D:D

Gurdurr-shadethedarksoul8(VSS): even though i think ive been giving 120% in each challenge and i was the last player on my team standing im really starting to freak about this elimination it could go anyway and it may be me tonight which scares me i mean im always scared when the team im on loses i just hope i can go on another day and who i think the weakest member of this team goes here to hoping

Escavalier-TheMysterious2634(GDA): Oh boy time to eliminate someone. WHO'S IT GONNA BE!?

Golurk-PoryfulZ(GDA): Watch, they all vote me for losing it.

Axew-Yymastaconfuctious(VSS): Wow 3rd place, we're not doing so hot are we guys? I hope this isn't a hint of what to expect from this team in future challenges because I KNOW we can do better than this! Come on guys, get it in gear! GO TEAM VSS!

Scrafty-redfrog45(KJS):  If I go after carrying the entire team on my back for two rounds, then I'm going to be pissed.

Simisage-NegaSub(VSS): You can't keep not doing challenges. Sorry

Joltik-ShinyStoutland(GDA): We were so close! Good luck team!

Lilligant-clilmama33830(MRS): We won!....Finally.....

Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(MRS): WE WON OUR FIRST CHALLENGE! FINALLY!

Keldeo(Resolute)-Franky494(KJS): OH MA GAWD, I need more party slots in my X and Y team

Snivy-LolliPopGirlMeow(GDA): Someone, cure me from AleHeather fever

Mienshao-TheVaporeon123(KJS): Sorry for Being Inactive Team!But Don't Worry We Will Reach the Top Soon!

Leavanny-masterofflam(GDA): I hope the elimination goes well and that our team doesn't have crazy voting. Thanks for pulling off a really close win Golurk. If you receive even one vote, that would be ridiculous.

Durant-Woodenfan(GDA): Aw man! Lost again! Well, we gotta vote someone out. Eh.

Scolipede-vidiogamemaster101(MRS): *taping laptop back togeather* Meh, close enough..... hmm? Oh the veiwers wanna know my name or somethin'? It's Ivy, now can you go away now camera guy? Wait what? We won the challange? Fan F**king finally! *accidently knocks over laptop causing it to break* F*************K! What is it now camera guy?! Why did I miss the 3rd round? I was very busy y'know with highly importaint buissness!

*flashback*

*buttering toast*

*end flashback*

YES I WAS BUTTERING TOAST!!!

Ok so first up is Keldeo's Justice Swords. 6 out of 10 members of this team got votes: Sandile, Scrafty, Ducklett, Swanna, Mienshao, and Virizion. Swanna, Scrafty, and Virizion got 1 vote each. That leaves Sandile, Ducklett, and Mienshao. It was a 7-3-3 vote and I'll reveal the first person eliminated. Probably doesn't shock most people.......Mienshao.

45th place: Mienshao-TheVaporeon123, you've missed a few challenges and you've been excused a few times so many of your teammates felt you overstayed your welcome. And you told me that you felt you were almost done with camps so I don't think you'll be too disappointed save for a change of heart.

So Sandile and Ducklett, whoever got their 3rd vote first is out. The last person safe is......SANDILE!

44th place: Ducklett-shadowkirby10100, you started this season off strong despite knowing less about Pokemon than most other contestants but you just started to fade away and you weren't useful in this challenge so you paid the price. Also since Sandile is more popular and more knowledgeable about not just Pokemon but all things Nintendo, it's interesting how you guys got equal amount of votes but I think the result makes sense.

Next is Victini's Searing Shots. Simisage, Heatmor, and Volcarona got votes. It was a 5-1-1 vote and safe with 1 vote are..................Simisage and..............................VOLCARONA!

43rd place: Heatmor-StepSoneful. You didn't do this challenge and that was enough for you to get the minimum amount of votes to confirm your elimination. I know you're a smart guy who is hard to stop at the top of your game, but unfortunately you don't get to the top of your game that often.

Lastly we have the Genesect Drive Arsenal, the last team to go down to 10 players. Let's see................. 1 vote for Snivy, 1 vote for Leavanny, 1 vote for Bisharp, and a total of 7 votes between Cottonee and Ferrothorn. Both of you didn't do well in this challenge and don't seem that well known. With 2 votes, the final one safe is..............................................FERROTHORN!

42nd place: Cottonee-eddyjose fuentes. Going into this game most people saw you as a slacker but you participated in every challenge you were in. However you definitely need to improve on your social game. That could've been the difference that saved Ferrothorn at your expense.

We're at the point of the game where players who were safe before now have reasons why they might be targets and players who have scraped by to get this far will have multiple reasons to get rid of them. And it's hard to tell which reasons have priority over others, except for participation. Not participating is not going to work.

Thanks for playing TheVaporeon123, shadowkirby10100, StepSoneful, eddyjose fuentes

Ok so thank you guys for your patience. I have a simple challenge to reward you guys. You only have to do as much writing as you want. However I may or may not reveal your answers.

For this challenge, tell me the 3 things you love most about Pokemon. They don't have to be in any order. It can be about the series in general or a more focused section of the Pokemon world. You have 24 hours to do this challenge. What I want are people participating, people giving me thought out and genuine answers, and for people to show a little bit about themselves with their answers. Sometimes in camps we forget to build connections and we see our fellow contestants as either gateways or obstacles to victory. 1 team wins immunity, the other 3 teams vote off 1 player each. Any questions or concerns, let me know. Get going! Also please respond to this post and tell me what you're thinking at this point in the game.
