The A-maze-ing Race

**Season 2, Episode 48**

This is the forty-eighth episode of Total Pokémon Action. With a new phase in the game starting, castmates looked for security in new alliances. The challenge helped with that. But, it also helped a castmate seal their fate by accidentally sabotaging the other castmates.

The movie of the day is The Maze Runner. The castmates must find their way out of a maze formed from the pyramid set. They can go in any size group they want. The first group to make it out wins immunity. Dewgong questions what would happen if they all worked together and Jellicent threatens that if they do that, she will cancel the season and spend the money on another vacation home. Delcatty, Floatzel, and Pachirisu naturally team up. Carnivine also joins them because Gliscor and Houndoom were going with Zoroark and he's scared of her. Dewgong also showed up to work with them which Milotic was okay with. Milotic gives him his space and teams up with Leafeon and Ninetales. Gliscor makes Houndoom wait as he invited Vespiquen and Zoroark to team up with them. Vespiquen admits that she used to have a crush on Gliscor. Persian and Purugly discussed whether they made the right choice to not force Vespiquen to go with them. Purugly said they have to slowly work into it, plus being the only ones immune would be great. Carnivine, Delcatty, Dewgong, Floatzel, and Pachirisu are running and accidentally set off a trap. This is when they realized the place had traps. Floatzel spots Persian and Purugly who get stuck in a net after Delcatty pressed a button she found despite Floatzel telling her not to. Gliscor, Houndoom, and Vespiquen tried to get Zoroark to move on as a boulder blocked their way. But, Zoroark wondered what Absol would do, then turned into her and crushed the rock. So, they kept moving. Running down the stairs, Delcatty hit a wire that triggered an arrow shot at Leafeon and Ninetales. But, Milotic pushed them out of the way. Persian and Purugly wait and notice that Gliscor, Houndoom, Vespiquen, and Zoroark have a lead. They decide to follow them. The group was stopped by a code which Zoroark turned into Girafarig to figure out assuming Girafarig would know. She figured it out and the group made their way out. But, Persian and Purugly tried to tag along with the group to steal immunity. Unfortunately for them, Delcatty stepped on a pressure plate that opened a hole in the ground and Persian and Purugly fell in it. Persian was furious that their ticket to immunity was snatched away. So, Gliscor, Houndoom, Vespiquen, and Zoroark made their way out and Jellicent granted them all immunity. They established themselves as the group to beat and Houndoom was starting to get very cocky with his place in the game.

At the awards ceremony, it comes down to best friends Delcatty and Pachirisu for their part in setting off traps on the rest of the cast throughout the challenge. But, the ditzy Delcatty gets the boot for being the main reason all the traps went off. Persian and Purugly were particularly angry with them and gunned for them, getting everyone else on board. The girls say a really sad goodbye promising to stay best friends forever as Delcatty makes her way out.
