## Plot

Meowth begins by recapping the events of the last episode.

Over at the Rockets' camp, Lotso congratulates the team on their win, with Red noting that Fox & Zelda deserve most of the credit for it. Cranidos claims he could've brought in more Goombas, but Magnet-Shroom reminds him that he was "getting your rear kicked" by a Mega Goomba, leading to the former shushing him. However, Coney insists they should forget that since they were victorious, and that they should celebrate, with Mighty Eagle agreeing. In a subsequent confession, Magnet-Shroom notes how his team has been in good spirits since they won last time, and that's fine, but he feels it's time to "raise the stakes."

Over with the Twerps, Luigi's alliance is meeting and Reize comments on the hardness of the previous challenge. Squash adds that he hopes they win, asking Luigi to ask what happens if they don't and Squash sarcastically replies to him. Luigi explains that he meant what their strategy would be if they lost, with Squash questioning him on why he doesn't know these things since he's the leader. Luigi replies that he never wanted to form the alliance so early, then is interrupted by Porygon, who asks about the whereabouts of Spike. Reize explains he went looking for Flygon & Corrin, which shocks Squash. In another part of the Twerps camp, Corrin is seen feeding gems to Dragular and asks the nearby Flygon if he wants any, but he refuses. Flygon questions why she feeds Dragular so many gems, and she explains it's because it's what dragons like the most and it works a method to motivate him; she asks Flygon again if he wants one, and he admits he does, but before he can finish, Spike arrives, to Corrin's displeasure. Spike asks for a crystal, but Dragular refuses to give him any, and the two argue, before Corrin demands that Spike leave. After he does, Flygon comments on how close things were, while Corrin coddles Dragular and gives him another gem, which turns out to be too much for Flygon, and he promptly leaves. Back with Luigi's alliance, Porygon hopes that Spike will return soon. Fastener is then seen watching them but is shocked when Meowth calls for the challenge. After Luigi leaves, Squash suggests he take over the alliance, which Porygon supports. Reize is unsure however, so Squash says they will observe Luigi during the challenge, and he will change his mind based on that.

All the contestants gather together and Meowth surprises them with a sneak attack, which Squash manages to knock away. When Drilbur questions this, Meowth explains it was to get them prepared for the challenge, which is like "Bob-Omb Blast" from the first season. Fox notes they already did that and wonders why he is bringing it back, with Meowth explaining he is going to "soup it up"; Murkrow then asks how he plans to do that, but the host refuses to answer and sends it over to Crackachu, who sets out the Bob-Ombs, which are twice as many as the last time. Meowth explains the rules, including that someone is out if they are hit once (causing Mighty to lament his size, since it impeeds his ability to do the game), that they can use the bombs to blow up others, and "friendly fire" is on. After ignoring a question from Drifblim, Meowth orders the game to start.

The game begins, when suddenly, the lights go out (though Spike is not bothered by this). Meowth explains that the game will now have periodic "blackouts" making the contestants unable to see. Tentacool comments on this, and is promptly blown up, making him the first contestant eliminated. In a subsequent confessional, he complains about how stupid the whole idea is. Back on the battlefield, Reize decides to use one of his cards to protect him, but Drilbur rebuffs that and tunnels underground. Both Shantae & Ashley then comment on the blackout, though Drifblim says it doesn't bother her since she can see in the dark, leading Krokorok to ask why she told them just then. Lotso says he will camp there and orders his bodyguards to do the work for him, while Dragular freaks out about not being able to see in the darkness. Flygon asks Spike how he can see in the dark, with Spike admitting he's nocturnal, while Fox & Zelda simply decide to leave. Some Bob-ombs go off, causing Dragular to think he was hit, but Corrin reminds him he was not, while Porygon is taken out by one ("syntax error"). From nearby, Luigi comments on his ally being out, while Krokorok tells him to do "less talking, more bang bang."

Elsewhere, Coney comments that he and Newspaper are used to bombs bigger than these, to which the latter surprisingly agrees. Red then uses his "non-existent limbs" to throw a Bob-omb, but it ends up going backwards towards Lotso, who, despite Red's warning, doesn't get out of the way and is blown up. One of the penguin bodyguards chastises Red for his actions, calling him a "sick little fowl" and mentioning he would be targeted for elimination, only to be hit a Bob-omb mid-sentence. Seeing he's on his own, Jeff runs off. Meanwhile, Magnet-Shroom remembers he can see in the dark as well and picks up a Bob-omb. As Spike smells around for a Bob-omb, Murkrow picks up one and drops it from above, taking out Squash; moments later, Coney almost blows up Luigi with one. Elsewhere, Reize uses one of his magic cards to make himself invisible but realizes he can't see himself and calls out for his allies; Newspaper overhears him but is surprised he can't see him. Trying to help, Coney throws an exploding turtle, but misses and takes out Newspaper instead, as the invisible Reize flees. Magnet-Shroom throws his Bob-omb and manages to take out Flygon, who is looking for Corrin or Dragular. Jeff hears him, and Magnet-Shroom tries to direct him towards him in the dark. In a confessional, Jeff claims to have become the show's new "punching bag" since Pansage was eliminated in the previous episode, although his partner assures him otherwise. Elsewhere, Fox meets up with Mighty, happy to have found an ally, and says he has a strategy to deal with anyone finding them, with Mighty admitting he does as well. Fox claims he's listening and in a confessional, admits he was wrong about Mighty being useless and that they could make a great strategy with their combined talents.

In another part of the battlefield, Reize meets with Spike, who is surprised he can't see the latter, and wonders if he found any Bob-ombs. Moments later, Cranidos appears and tosses one at them, hitting Reize and restoring him to visibility, but also taking him out of the game. Meanwhile, Krokorok sets up a pair of Bob-ombs and waits for someone to come by and fall into his trap; seeing Red nearby, he tries to get him to come over by imitating the Road Runner from *Looney Tunes*, but Red remembers that Road Runner isn't in the game and runs off before the Bob-ombs can get him. Krokorok is upset over this and kicks the Bob-ombs away, causing them to nearly hit Murkrow, but Red saves him, due to them both being birds. Elsewhere, Shantae is looking for someone to take out, unaware Coney is nearby; he throws a Bob-omb, but a nearby Ashley repels it with her "reflection" move, however, Coney is barely blown up, causing Ashley to declare it "lame." Moments later, the Bob-omb hits Luigi, who is sneaking around and trying to be cautious about not getting blown up. Over with Drilbur, he takes a Bob-omb and digs underground with it, but Krokorok can hear him burrowing and does the same. Elsewhere, Jeff runs into Dragular, but due to the darkness can't tell who he is; Dragular uses this to pretend to be Cranidos; he asks Jeff about his team and he talks about his alliance with Lotso, with Dragular mentioning his alliance with Corrin. Since he thinks Dragular is Cranidos, Jeff believes the latter has betrayed them, and claims he'd take him out if he had a Bob-omb handy; Dragular then imitates a bomb fuse, scaring Jeff away, then leaves when Corrin calls for him. Later, Jeff wonders why "Cranidos" would mention all this to him, but shrugs it off since he did try to betray them once already.

In another location, Murkrow & Red are readying themselves to drop bombs on whoever is below, with Murkrow claiming to hear Shantae nearby. However, before they can finish their countdown, they are taken out by Drifblim, who notes there is "always a bigger bird and a higher altitude," with Shantae congratulating her. Meanwhile, Drilbur emerges somewhere else and is confronted by Krokorok; the Pokémon then mentions their bet from the previous episode and how he lost, but Krokorok explains he only made said bet to motivate him to work harder at the challenge, and that he sees he's been having a hard time. He also encourages Drilbur to take his anger and use it on the opposing team, instead of someone on their side; Drilbur admits he has learned from Krokorok, who admits he learned from him as well, as they both have the same strategy of dig under the ground, then come up with a bomb; both Pokémon then decide to use this plan and head off. In another location, Ashley is walking around, saying she should obtain a bomb when Magnet-Shroom appears and pins her to a wall; he then orders a nearby Craindos to throw a bomb, and Ashley points out this will eliminate him as well, but he doesn't care, as the bomb hits and takes both of them out. Fastener is then shown kicking a Bob-omb with some difficulty, while, nearby, Jeff places a bomb at his feet, hoping it will do something; he kicks it and it hits Fastener, taking him out. Jeff is happy he got someone, even if he couldn't see who, when he hears Zelda's voice. Zelda asks Jeff to identify himself and, when he does, she asks what she can help with, and he asks for her protection; moments later, Spike appears and throws a Bob-omb, with Zelda using one of her attacks to deflect it, but it misses, to her surprise. Though it fails to hit Jeff, he is then taken out by a second Bob-omb from Spike.

Elsewhere, Corrin finds Dragular and offers to show him the new dragon she found (thought admitting they can see it because it is dark). As she describes it to him, said Dragon turns out be to Cranidos holding a Bob-omb, to Corrin's surprise; though Dragular attempts to make the save, both of them are taken out by the explosion. In the confessional, an angry Corrin swears over being taken out by him. Meanwhile, Cranidos manages to locate Fox & Mighty; Fox asks for the status on their team and Cranidos admits the three of them are all that is left, and reveals who from the Rockets is left, which worries Fox, since it includes Drifblim (who can fly), Shantae (who is athletic) and Krokorok & Drilbur (who can burrow). Cranidos assures him they would have to find them first (though he does mention Spike can see in the dark) and indeed, Spike does appear, but Mighty uses an earthquake attack to disrupt him, and blow him up. Fox also hears Drifblim above them, and repels her bomb with his attack, taking her out as well. However, Cranidos hears an explosion and is surprised to see Fox & Mighty taken out, thinking it was due to Shantae. Instead, Krokorok & Drilbur appear, revealing they were behind it, before blowing up Cranidos as well. With this, the game is over and the lights come back on, causing Shantae to throw aside her Bob-omb and lament how she didn't do much in the challenge. Meowth then appears and names the Twerps the winners of the game, and is surprised to find Krokorok & Drilbur working together, but the latter explains they put aside their differences to focus on "the greater evil" namely, the other team. Back with the Rockets, Cranidos apologizes for costing them the win, only to notice Jeff staring at him and asking Lotso to tell him to back off. Jeff then reminds him he hasn't forgotten what "he" said, which confuses Cranidos as to what he means. Jeff chastises him for his alliance with Corrin, as does Zelda, who thought he had changed; the other bodyguard feels the same, saying he is thinking of changing his vote for Red (leading to a nearby Red to remind him that him blowing up Lotso was an accident, and he can hear what the penguin is saying). Red admits he's not sure if he believes Cranidos, since they were in the dark, but both Magnet-Shroom and Murkrow support him. Cranidos then asks Tentacool about his support, noting he saved the Pokemon from the freezer a while back, but Tentacool says nothing and leaves. Back with the Twerps, both Luigi & Squash compare how they fared in the challenge with Porygon then appearing and mentioning Squash's comments about leading the alliance; hearing that Squash wanted this, Luigi offers let him co-lead, which Squash accepts. The others then congratulate Spike on how well he did in the challenge, and he wonders if they can have food now. This leads Reize to ask where he was earlier, and he tells them he was trying to get food from Corrin, which they admit was a bad idea (Luigi comparing it to "sticking you hand in a snake pit"). Spike then wonders why they just don't vote off Corrin since they all dislike her, and they agree to do so next time, before leaving for a "hero's feast."

Back with the Rockets, Fox is meeting with Newspaper, Tentacool, Red, Zelda & Mighty and suggests that Cranidos is "pulling a Drifloon." Tentacool doesn't understand this, so Fox explains about how Drifloon betrayed her team and worked with Bowser in Season 1, and now believes Cranidos to be doing the same. Red finds this unlikely, but Newspaper notes that Cranidos did try to betray his team once already. The team argues over this and eventually all of them head off, leaving behind Red & Zelda. Red asks if the decision is tough, and she admits it is, noting she didn't want their team to end up like it has. This is followed by confessionals from the Penguin Bodyguards, Lotso, Magnet-Shroom, Tentacool & Murkrow, with most of them suggesting they plan to eliminate Cranidos. Meanwhile, back with Corrin, Dragular is enjoying some gems when Flygon appears and asks why Corrin is feeding him. She explains it's because of the rumors he started about Cranidos, which disgusts Flygon and he asks Dragular about this. The dragon explains he was in the dark with one of the penguins and worried about being bombed, but Flygon refuses to accept this, saying that he is insane and not the same Dragular he knew from the beginning and he storms off in anger. Corrin tells Dragular he did good, though he does feel guilty, especially if it leads to Cranidos being eliminated. However, Corrin promises him a whole bag of gems if he continues to do things like the rumors again, and the dragon accepts them, to her pleasure.

It's elimination time again with Meowth criticizing the team for losing, and the final two end up being Tentacool & Cranidos with the latter eliminated. Cranidos protests his elimination and confronts Tentacool for voting for him, but the latter reveals he voted for himself, since he couldn't bring himself to vote anyone else out, and he felt bad for being the first one out; he adds that Cranidos saved him back in episode three and he wouldn't be there without him, and the two hug. Cranidos then confronts the rest of the team about thinking he was working with Corrin, with Jeff replying that he knows what he heard, and Zelda reminding Cranidos that, whether the rumors were true or not, he had done controversial things in the past. Cranidos then chastises them and leaves, deciding to eliminate himself. Moments later, Corrin asks Meowth to make a phone call to her kingdom, which he refuses until she reminds him of how rich her kingdom is, so he summons a bandaged Crackachu to take her to the phone. At the Drop of Shame, Cranidos has no last words to say, until Corrin appears, with Cranidos recognizing her as the one he tripped, and claiming he isn't working with her. Corrin admits she knows that, and reveals that no one trusts him anymore thanks to Dragular. Cranidos is upset to learn he was double crossed by Dragular, but a smug Corrin replies that it doesn't matter, "cause I'm invincible and no one can touch me." As she leaves, Cranidos continues to rant about how unfair his situation is before Meowth appears, knocks him off the drop himself, then signs off the show.

In a segment afterwards, Crackchu takes Corrin to the phone, where she calls Bowser, telling him that "one of your minions is ready for a big change."

## Challenge in this episode

Bomb-Ombs have been placed at the "cornucopia". Contestants can either gather Bombs or "run away like a little baby." The twist is that the lights will turn off randomly, obscuring the contestants view. When the lights go dark, the contestants will have to trust their hearing (unless they're from nocturnal species like Spike or Magnet Shroom) to survive and win the challenge.

## Confessionals

1. Magnet-Shroom: "Everyone's been in real good spirits since we won the last challenge. It's all fine & dandy but, it's time to raise the stakes again, you know?"
2. Tentacool: "How is this fair?! This is ridiculous! We're not supposed to see in the blackouts and we're holding explosives? This game just went from a 1 to a 50 really fast."
3. Penguin Bodyguards: "You know, ever since Pansage left, it feels like I've become the new punching bag, do you think so?" "No, not really, you're not the new punching bag." "Certainly hope not."
4. Fox: "You know, I take back what I said about Eagle, he is pretty wise. With my Shine and his earthquakes, I've got a pretty good strategy if anyone dares cross our path."
5. Corrin: "We all have our blunders, and that was one of mine. God (bleep)! how could I mistake Cranidos for (bleep)?!"
6. Penguin Bodyguards: "You know, I'm thinking we vote for Red this challenge." "Really? Well, I think we vote for Cranidos; I mean, you heard what he did, right?" "I know, I only heard it for about five times!" "Eh, sorry."
7. Lotso: (laughs) "Well, five names are down and mine ain't one of 'em! (laughs) this is getting too easy."
8. Magnet-Shroom: "Do I believe Cranidos? Of course I don't! But, at the same time, I can't play favorites; gotta make sure everybody thinks I'm on their side, so I don't seem like a threat, you know?"
9. Tentacool: "It's times like this where I wish I could vote out two people instead of just one!"
10. Murkrow: "You know, regardless of whether or not Cranidos is telling the truth or not, the rumors spread are still impressive. Whoever they are, I gotta give them credit."
