The Nightmare Before Jynxmas

Season 2, Episode 55
This is the fifty-fifth episode of Total Pokémon Action. The power dynamics shift again as the last couple in the game become the targets. Everyone works to make sure a certain half of the couple doesn't win, but they fail. The castmate wins and the other half of the couple is eliminated instead.
The movie of the day is The Nightmare Before Christmas which Dewgong is excited about because he loves Christmas as well as the movie. The challenge is to go into Halloween Town and find Jack Blacephalon who will tell them how to get to Christmas Town. Then, they have to go there and find Santa Jynx. First to do that wins immunity. Persian expresses his intention to split up Dewgong and Milotic. Specifically, he wants to get Milotic eliminated. After the castmates get to Halloween Town, Dewgong and Milotic immediately go off on their own. Ninetales leaves and Persian asks her if she's sure knowing that they are plotting against the couple and if she doesn't join them, she's against them. But, she leaves and says she's just trying to win the challenge. Floatzel, Houndoom, Pachirisu, Persian, and Zoroark begin to plot. Meanwhile, Milotic's spirits are raised as she learns Dewgong loves the movie and knows where to find Jack Blacephalon. Zoroark opens up to Floatzel and Pachirisu about how she feels nobody left truly has her back. But, they let her know that they do. Persian watches from afar in the graveyard as Dewgong and Milotic are the first to find Jack Blacephalon. They make their way into the forest per his instructions. Ninetales gets approached by Houndoom in the graveyard who wants to convince her that aligning with Milotic is only going to sink her game. Then, they hear a whistle which Houndoom informs her is a signal from Persian. Persian informs Floatzel, Houndoom, Ninetales, Pachirisu, and Zoroark of where Jack Blacephalon is. Pachirisu wonders what the hold up is, but Persian says he saw what direction Milotic and Dewgong went. So, they make their way into the forest. The couple finds the tree with the door to Christmas Town. They realize that the other six castmates are approaching, so Dewgong tells Milotic to go in and he'll hold them off as long as he can. They tell Dewgong to move so that they can catch up to Milotic, but he refuses. So, Zoroark prepares to remove him physically and Floatzel leaves so that he doesn't have to watch whatever they're about to do to his friend. Milotic makes her way deeper into Christmas Town. Dewgong was finally moved out of the way, so the rest of the castmates got to Christmas Town. Floatzel and Pachirisu are messing around on the trains. Persian, Zoroark, and Houndoom are looking for Santa Jynx when Ninetales catches up now in her alolan form. It triggers Zoroark again, so she attacks Ninetales. Houndoom and Persian go off on their own and begin to chase Milotic down when they spot her. They are followed by Pachirisu, Zoroark, Ninetales, Floatzel, and Dewgong respectively. In the end, Milotic finds Santa Jynx first and is granted immunity. The rest of the castmates could only watch in disgust. Dewgong catches up and begins to kiss Milotic out of excitement. Everyone else leaves to not have to watch the couple kiss.
Zoroark find Ninetales to apologizing for attacking her and they make their amends. Persian walks up to them to lock down their votes for Dewgong. Zoroark quickly agrees, then Persian says he's mostly asking Ninetales. Since Floatzel and Pachirisu won't vote Dewgong, Houndoom makes sure they will vote Persian. They know Dewgong and Milotic are voting Houndoom and promised they would too, but they won't out of respect for Carnivine. Dewgong and Milotic share a meal to make each other feel better about what's to come. At the awards ceremony, it comes down to Dewgong, Houndoom, and Persian. Dewgong gets the boot and Milotic starts to cry. She finds out that Ninetales voted out Dewgong, also Floatzel and Pachirisu realize that Houndoom voted Dewgong, not Persian. So, they were upset as well. The couple share a kiss and an emotional goodbye, then Dewgong makes his way out.
