56 players survived the first hurdle, but this is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey. Victini's Searing Shots proved that they weren't a one-victory-wonder right away by winning their 2nd out of 2 challenges. Interestingly the teams landed in the same positions as last time: Genesect 2nd, Keldeo 3rd, and Meloetta 4th. This time, however, each of the losing teams will only vote off one player. With one quitter and the other two teams having multiple viable options for who to eliminate, this should be a bit more interesting than elimination 1. First up we have confessionals.

Darmanitan-ajthespriter06(VSS): i think we are doing we so far i mean we did win the first two challenges that shows that we are trying our hardest.
Serperior-BOOLOVER57(GDA): 2nd place again!!!????what the heck!!!!!!
Leavanny-masterofflam(GDA): 2nd Place isn't too bad, but I wouldn't mind 1st. Lol! XD
Joltik-ShinyStoutland(GDA): Hey, I'm the only one who likes Cress here it seems. At least everything is going according to plan.
Golurk-PoryfulZ(GDA): Hey, second again :D Well at least we’re only voting 1 player off
Axew-yymastaconfuctious(VSS): Awesomesauce! We won again! :D Sure we had 2 people not do the challenge, which is concerning, but we won again! Way to go team! :)
Cofagrigus-THEDKA3(MRS):  I thought at first that this was the hardest challenge of all of vaporterra's camps I've been in (don't know much about Unova's gym leaders) and I get a perfect score. :3
Pidove-Rhbkblader88(MRS): I can't believe so many people like Skyla even me!Anyways 4th place again?!?,come on MRS!Maybe 3rd time is a charm.
Emolga-NightBlastingSkitty(VSS): Wow. A lot of people didn't do the challenge, but Victini Searing Shots Immunity twice in a row :D
Swanna-kevandkeith42120(KJS): 3rd again. I hope we can improve.
Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(MRS): This vote is a hard one. I sort of feel as if I'm not completely safe. But I am definitely voting off a player that got a strike. But one of them messaged us and told us his reasoning, so I think I'll let him slide. But the other two...it's a difficult decision. I just hope that I'm safe, because I truly try in these challenges.

First up Meloetta's Relic Singers. Audino, Purrloin, Oshawott, Lilligant, Cofagrigus, Cinccino, Bouffalant, Beartic, Zebstrika, and Pidove got 0 votes. The 3 vote getters failed to do this challenge. Cubchoo is safe with 1 vote. That leaves Sewaddle and Meloetta, who didn't do the challenge. The main difference between these two is that Sewaddle is more experienced in my camps but much of that experience has been not doing much. Both got 5 votes and due to the "Luck of the Tiebreaker" twist, even numbered eliminations mean the loser is determined by who got their votes first. The final player safe is.....................SEWADDLE!

68th place: Meloetta(Pirouette Form)-PokeDiva101, well luck was not on your side in deciding the tie between you and Sewaddle, but you would've avoided this entirely if you did the challenge.

For Keldeo's Justice Swords, this will be quick.

67th place: Simipour-MrLaughyBot2 (quit). You gave me no reason why you wanted me to quit but considering your activity level so far in this camp, I suppose it's for the best.

Lastly we have Genesect's Drive Arsenal. Escavalier, Golurk, Durant, Joltik, Serperior, Ferrothorn, Leavanny, Bisharp, Snivy, Garbodor, Vanilluxe, and Scraggy are safe with 0 votes. Despite not doing the challenge, looks like Ferrothorn got off easy. The same can't be said for our bottom two: Excadrill and Galvantula. 9 votes shared between them in a 5-4 split, one of these players who forgot to do the challenge will learn the gravity of their mistake the hard way. The last player safe is................GALVANTULA!

66th place: Excadrill-TheACF12, well you got a higher ranking than last season by 7 places but you were also eliminated 1 elimination sooner than last season. You used to be a pretty good contestant but in recent months, not so much. It could've easily been Galvantula voted off though.

Well there we go! 7 eliminations down, 64 more to go! And one more batch of eliminations before we bring 4 addons into the mix! The lesson to take away from this elimination is to take advantage of when this game cuts you a break. The votes could've gone differently but in the end, that's how it happened. Don't make any silly mistakes or next time you won't succeed in fixing them.

Thanks for playing pokediva101, mrlaughybot2, and theacf12

Challenge 3


I don't know about you, but I could definitely draw parallels between Unova Pokemon and those from the other 4 Generations.

For this challenge you will pick one Kanto, one Johto, one Hoenn, and one Sinnoh Pokemon that reminds you of the Pokemon you are playing as. The list of all the contestants with their usernames is at the beginning of this blog post so refer to that if you forgot your character (it's still early and I'm sure this isn't the only camp you're competing in, so no harm done if you forget.) Then out of the 4 Pokemon you picked, you will pick the one most similar to your own Pokemon and explain why that Gen 1-4 Pokemon reminds you of your Pokemon that you are playing as. Here's an example of how this challenge would work if I was Basculin

Part 1
Gen 1: Seaking
Gen 2: Remoraid
Gen 3: Carvanha
Gen 4: Floatzel

Part 2
Of those four Pokemon, Carvanha reminds me the most of Basculin because they appear very similar to piranhas. They are very similar to each other in terms of size and classification (Carvanha is the "Savage" Pokemon while Basculin is the "Hostile" Pokemon), both are common Pokemon found by fishing, and share of similarities in movepool (they both learn Bite, Crunch, Take Down, Aqua Jet, and Scary Face by leveling up). Their attack stats are within 2 of each other (Basculin 92; Carvanha 90)

So Part 1 should seem pretty easy. I know for one or two Generations you might be stretching it, like in Basculin's case for Remoraid and/or Floatzel, but don't worry. For Part 2, I just want you to explain your choice in at least 2-4 sentences (no more than 11-12) and point out as many similarities as you can. If you omit some minor details that's great but if you miss something out that I think would be a bit obvious, you'll get marked off.

Part 1 is worth 4 points. Part 2 is worth 6 points. If you follow the example in bold, you'll get 10/10. However if anything's up I won't hesitate to drop some points if I need to. The challenge ends sometimes between 5 and 10 pm Thursday, August 15th, 2013.

If you need to be excused for any reason, LET ME KNOW THE REASON WHY AND FOR HOW LONG. Once again, the 1st place team will win immunity while the other 3 teams will vote off another member. Will this be the the challenge where Victini finally lose? If so, who will end up on top? If not, how will the Meloetta, Genesect, and Keldeo teams react and adapt to another Victini victory? Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Get going on this challenge!
