**Total Stuffed Fluffed Island Season 2 REMASTERED: As Quiet As a Meowth** is the 2nd episode of Total Stuffed Fluffed Island Season 2 REMASTERED. It aired on December 3rd, 2021.

## Synopsis

The second challenge has begun! The objective is simple. DO NOT TALK! If you do, you are immediately out of the challenge. How will our contestants endure this challenge? (Especially Coney)

## Plot

Lotso is talking to his bodyguards about the previous episode, saying things could not have gone better. He then asks how they think they will win this time, with both suggesting playing by the rules. Lotso replies that there are two types of people in the world- those who get what they want by sitting and doing nothing, and those who actually do something. Jeff suggests following the second idea, but notes they should also work within the team, as they might get suspicious of them; however, Lotso assures him they aren't doing anything evil. In the confessional, Jeff notes that the pressure of being Lotso' bodyguard is starting to get to him.

Elsewhere with the Twerps, Drilbur is celebrating their win last episode. Bonsly appears to celebrate also, and both Krokorok & Flygon call him out for nearly costing them the challenge, and his whining, respectively. Bonsly continues to whine (knocking into Pansage and injuring him as well), and Krokorok agrees that he wonders if Bonsly can indeed be quiet, with Flygon suggesting they not give Meowth ideas. However, neither Pokemon notices that Crackachu is watching from nearby.

Meanwhile, Spike is having a stomachache and Squash comes to check on him. Corrin also arrives and chastises him for eating all the food in the Mess Hall, though Spike claims he was actually kicked out of said place. Inky appears and makes a pun, which causes Spike to start choking, so Squash hits him in the back, causing him to cough out a Goomba unto a disgusted Corrin, with the Goomba telling him he's got issues. However, Spike feels better after this.

With other members of the Twerps, Luigi addresses them about their plans for the day, when Porygon interrupts, wondering if they are forming an alliance. Luigi assures him they are not, but the robot Pokemon tells him he wishes to be part of one if it comes up. In the confessional, Luigi wonders why Porygon wants to create an alliance so quickly, without knowing him better. Elsewhere, Mighty Eagle is doing his concentration exercises when Red & Cranidos appear. The latter wonders if Mighty is trying to make himself go extinct, but Red explains he does that to relax, though Cranidos remains unconvinced. Meowth's voice then knocks Mighty off his perch, and in the confessional, he says he'd hurt Meowth if not for him being the show's host.

Meowth gathers the contestants and announces the next challenge will be similar to the previous one ("woo Hoo, originality has already left the building"- Murkrow). Meowth explains they will not be allowed to talk or make any sort of noises or they will be out. Though Ashley believes their team will win easily, Pansage's tendency to be easily hurt soon puts a crimp in that plan. Krokorok notes how they were talking about this earlier, leading Crackachu to appear and Flygon to suspect he was spying on them. Though the chef refuses to admit it, (and yells at Reize when he messes up his analogy). Meowth then sends off the contestants, noting they are allowed to talk in the confessionals. In a confessional afterwards, Pansage admits being thankful for that, and discusses why he tends to be hurt so often.

Bonsly is the first one out after Magnet-Shroom & Murkrow team up to scare him. However, Murkrow says "yeah!" after hearing this, leading to him being out as well (and causing him to throw Bonsly aside). The thrown Bonsly startles Drifblim, who is also out when she yells upon dodging him, to her displeasure. Pansage is seen next, and Squash riding on Spike head after him, as Drilbur watches them. In the confessional, Drilbur questions why they just don't attack the opposing team and sets out to do so. Lotso and his bodyguards then appear, however, Krokorok hides and bites the bear on the butt, causing him to shout and complain, leading to his elimination. Drilbur then appears from underground and attacks the bodyguards, with Jeff's shouting during the attack leading to his elimination, and Drilbur is eliminated due to his battle cry; in the confessional, Drilbur notes that it didn't matter that he eliminated only one bodyguard, as Krokorok got Lotso and the other one. Pretty soon, more contestants start incorperating Magnet-Shroom and Krokorok's strategy of scaring others into involuntarily speaking to get a lead.

In the location where the eliminated contestants go, Jeff apologizes to Lotso for being eliminated, while Murkrow admits that Drilbur at least got one. Drilbur then complains about the stupidity of their plan, before getting fed up with Bonsly's whining and telling him to shut up. In the bathroom area, Tentacool is seen sitting silently, and Red appears to observe him. In a confessional, Red admits how great Tentacool is, and that he's glad to have him as a teammate. In another area, Mighty Eagle, Red, Cranidos, Coney & Newspaper are all playing around. Newspaper reveals in a confessional that he and Coney played Charades before the game, in hopes of getting to know each other better, but it didn't work.

Fastener is the next one out after saying his name while attacking Mustachio, followed by Pansage when he yells after Magnet-Shroom pins him to the wall. Hoping to eliminate contestants' faster, Meowth calls on Big Bones, who asks if he will be paid, since he wants food due to Dry Bowser no longer feeding him. Big Bones first encounters Zelda and asks if she knows the Muffin Man, but she remains silent. In the confessional, Zelda admits getting her to lose won't be that easy, and claims the challenge is "in the bag." Big Bones next encounters Reize and easily eliminates him when he starts talking to him; in the loser area, Reize admits that Big Bones was good, with Murkrow pointing out he only snuck up behind him ("Yeah, but he was really crafty"- Reize).

Meanwhile, Fox, in the confessional, admits he knows Mighty Eagle plans to create a shockwave, which would result in the elimination of himself and everyone else, but questions how they can lure the remainder of the Twerps into one place to implement said plan. Back in the bathroom, Tentacool is shown still sitting quietly, as Fox passes by him; Fox then rams into Mustachio and both are eliminated (Fox for apologizing and Mustachio for grumbling about it). In the loser area, Fox admits not being able to reveal Eagle's plan, but before he can elaborate to Lotso, Mustachio falls on him, causing the bear to count to 10 instead of losing his temper. Elsewhere, Crackachu attacks Magnet-Shroom & Porygon, eliminating the former with an electric blast, but the robot refuses to talk, no matter what the chef does to him; however, after Crackachu leaves, he says "that actually worked?," eliminating him as well. Meanwhile, Big Bones sees Spike & Squash and offers them Girl Scout cookies, with Spike attacking and trying to eat him; naturally, this leads to both of them being out as well. Big Bones thanks Meowth for stopping Spike before he was killed, but Meowth points out he's already dead, which Big Bones was not aware of.

Elsewhere, Corrin sees Inky, and in the confessional, admits she has a plan to take him out. However, Krokorok does instead by biting him as he walks by, Corrin then attacks Inky, which startles Krokorok, causing him to talk and her as well, eliminating them both. In the losers area, Krokorok chastises her, reminding her she had "one job" and she retorts by saying she didn't expect him to jump out of the ground. Squash interrupts, noting their team is "dropping like bunnies" and their remaining members must focus or they will lose. Corrin notes Dragular is still out there as well, and Porygon claims she said his name in a particular manner that makes him believe she is attracted to him, though she denies this. Mustachio, Magnet-Shroom, and Murkrow note they will soon win, though Fox urges his team not to underestimate the Twerps.

Meanwhile, Flygon attempts to communicate silently with Ashley, noting in the confessional that he knew of Eagle's kamikaze-esque plan and decides to use it against him by using Ashley's magic to take out the remainder of the Twerps, as well as their team, but using his flying powers to escape the earthquake. Ashley casts the spell, but is eliminated since she can't cast it without speaking it first. As Big Bones prepares to go after Newspaper & Coney, Eagle falls and creates an earthquake which eliminates everyone else save for Flygon, Zelda, Tentacool (who was offscreen) & Dragular. In the losers area, Eagle lands on Mustachio and apologizes for doing so, while Luigi laments being there. Seeing the score tied 2-2, Meowth decides on another "big boom" to take out everyone else, and sends out Wiggler, who manages to eliminate the remaining three, scaring Zelda before kissing Dragular and Flygon with venom. In the losers area, Flygon believes they've won, but Meowth reminds him that Tentacool was still in the bathroom and is the real winner, meaning the Twerps have lost and are up for elimination.

In confessionals, both Luigi & Flygon discuss who they plan to eliminate, while Krokorok meets with Shantae and suggest they vote off Luigi, though she is not comfortable with that, so he has her go off to talk with Drilbur. Elsewhere, Fastener meets with Ashley, who assures him he did nothing wrong and will likely not be eliminated, but says they could someone to change their vote, if needed. In the confessional, Fastener says something, but since he only says his name, it is unintelligible. Meanwhile, Krokorok & Shantae meet with Pansage & Drifblim to get them to vote their way, while Luigi decides to form an official alliance between he, Spike, & Reize; Squash appears as does Porygon, noting he was right about Luigi having an alliance, though the plumber explains he just formed the alliance, and Porygon can join if he doesn't make a big deal out of it. Luigi however, has no idea who to eliminate, and Reize notes how he and Spike could both be on the chopping block, as Squash reminds them they both were taken out due to Big Bones. Porygon suggests just eliminating Big Bones, until Luigi needs to remind him that he wasn't a contestant; finally, they all agree to take out Drilbur.

Elsewhere, Corrin meets with Flygon & Dragular to get them to vote for either Shantae, Bonsly, Pansage or Drilbur. Dragular seems unwilling to make a vote, until she presents him with a gem and wins him over. Flygon agrees to vote with her as well, since it's good to vote in numbers, but claims it's only a one time case. However, he is offended when she doesn't give him a gem as well (with Corrin noting she never offered him one).

The elimination ceremony is held and Bonsly annoys many of his teammates, especially when he reveals he voted for Flygon. He and Drilbur are the final two, and the whiny tree Pokemon ends up being eliminated, though Meowth points out that Drilbur is considered the weakest link on his team (which the mole Pokemon denies). Bonsly then throws himself off the edge, as Meowth signs off the show yet again.

## Challenge of this episode

* All contestants can wander around the island but are in mute; whoever talks (or make noises) will be out. However, they can talk in the confessionals and there's no rules which stipulate that the contstants can't attack the other team to make them involuntarily talk. Any most quietest contestant(s) wins.

## Confessional lines

1. Jeff the Penguin Bodyguard: "Yeah, as much as I like working with Lotso and being his bodyguard, it is a little scary to make people think 'hey, you're in a alliance' or 'hey, your his bodyguard, so automatically it's three heads against one.' I can't even... I can't even think properly. I mean, it's scary, you know?"
2. Luigi: "Okay, I like Porygon, but, at the same time, he's kinda getting on my nerves. Why would you want to start an alliance this early? I mean, don't you want to know who I am first? I mean, I know you're a robot, I understand that, still."
3. Mighty Eagle: "If not for the fact that he's the host of this game, I would take Meowth and put him in a melting pot of friendship for making me lose my balance, and therefore my meditation."
4. Pansage: "Thank goodness we can talk in the confessional. Anyway, when I was a kid, I was always prone to getting in accidents, or getting hurt in someway, somehow, it's just a bad luck curse that's been placed on me. Don't know why, don't know how, don't know if it's gonna keep coming but (sighs) hoping for the best."
5. Drilbur: "I don't see vhy we couldn't just attack ze other team, I mean, it's ze most simple plan of action, und I think zat I could probably do something about it, so I decided to try ze tactic, because I'm ze strongest."
6. Drilbur: "So I got only one, it doesn't matter, ze Krokorok got ze other one."
7. Red: "That Tentacool is one cool customer, I am so glad he's on my team."
8. Newspaper: "Before the game actually began, Coney and I thought maybe a game of Charades would help us understand each other better. It...didn't work."
9. Zelda: "Does he really think it's that easy for me to talk? Please, I've got this one in the bag."
10. Fox: "I saw what Eagle was doing, and I knew exactly what he had in mind. He was going to fall and cause everyone else to get shocked, then, we would win the challenge. Question is, how are we gonna lure all the Troublesome Twerps into one place?"
11. Corrin: "I don't know about you, but I had a plan. It's a plan of sneaky proportions, as it will; that ghost is gonna get what's coming to him."
12. Flygon: "I already saw what happened with Eagle, and I have the perfect plan; if we can just use magic to move the eagle from Point A to Point B, we could not only eradicate our team, but their team as well. And, if I fly in the air, I will be immune to the earthquake. In short, we win. I also bumped into Ashley, so hopefully she could hear what I'm saying. If not, then..."
13. Ashley: "Oh yes, I heard him."
14. Luigi: "Wow, so many options tonight- I don't really know who to vote off. I mean, I won't vote for Flygon because he actually came up with the plan, but..."
15. Flygon: "It's all going to come down to a matter of personal preference. There's many in this game I like, and many I don't, so it'll all come down to persuasion."
16. Fastener: "(says his name repeatedly)"
17. Krokorok: "Whoo, I still got it baby! Season 2 victory, here I come!"
