Just Girly Things

**Season 2, Episode 11**

This is the eleventh episode of Total Pokémon Action. Three girls from each team are tested by their worst nightmare: high school. As such, a castmate falls victim to catty drama and is sabotaged. This leads to their dramatic and heartbreaking elimination.

Jellicent informs the castmates that the movie of the day is the infamous Mean Girls. For this episode, three girls from each team have been chosen to compete. They are Masquerain, Sudowoodo, and Togekiss from Team Ribombee and Altaria, Clamperl, and Gothitelle from Team Toucannon. Their challenge is to do what they can to avoid getting put into the burn book by the Sylveon and get the other team’s competitors in it. The girls are taken to the fake high school where they meet the mean girls: Clefable as Karen Smith, Wigglytuff as Gretchen Wieners, and Sylveon as Regina George. As the girls from Team Ribombee gather to come up with a game plan, Sudowoodo is invited to the mean girls’ table. They insult Sudowoodo to her face which doesn’t bother her. But, Servine walks by and Sylveon tells her she has a cute purse. When Servine leaves, Sylveon admits that it’s ugly. This pisses off Sudowoodo and she sticks up for Servine. She gets written in the burn book as a stick in the mud. At the mall, the girls ask Altaria and Clamperl if there’s any guys they think are cute. Clamperl immediately responds with no, but Altaria says there is someone. The girls’ interest is piqued, but Clamperl asks to speak to her in private. Lopunny forces a kiss on Hitmonlee to keep up the act until Ninetales and Persian leave. She’s annoyed that Hitmonlee was being difficult, but he claims that he doesn’t like to be forced into it. Clamperl confronts Altaria about this mystery guy and Altaria says that she just said that to get the girls to like her. Defensive, Altaria asks why it matters to her and Clamperl admits that she likes Altaria. She thought Altaria felt the same, but Altaria oddly turns her down and leaves. Masquerain is revealed to be stalking them. Chimecho and Gallade are worried about her when she claims she wants to get revenge because she was hurt. Masquerain likes Clamperl who told her she liked Altaria. After losing very quickly, Sudowoodo meets up with Gastrodon, Porygon-Z, and Vanilluxe in a diner. Gothitelle and Togekiss are taken to Sylveon’s house. When Gothitelle leaves to use the restroom, Togekiss is manipulated into talking about Gothitelle and gets her put in the burn book as a creepy emo dyke. Masquerain convinces the girls to throw a party. Masquerain tricks Machoke, Sylveon’s boyfriend, and Altaria into a hook-up. Once they realize who the other was, they’re alarmed and then Sylveon and Clamperl walk in. Sylveon is furious at Altaria, but Clamperl defends her. In her moment of weakness, Masquerain gets Altaria and Clamperl in the burn book as a “boyfriend-stealing slut and her skanky friend.” This means that Team Ribombee wins the challenge. Meanwhile, Team Toucannon avoids Altaria thinking her a boyfriend kisser. Arbok pressures Metang into not targeting Gothitelle even though she lost first in the challenge as it’s not the right time. Ampharos tells Snorlax that it’s time they form a proper alliance and scares him off with her strategy talk. Delcatty, Pachirisu, and Togekiss find Jellicent’s trailer and begin snooping. When Delcatty heads to the back, the other two find a notification on Jellicent’s laptop from a Tauros, revealing that she’s having an affair. Purugly is staked outside with a confused Smeargle. After hearing what they saw, she has a plan while Smeargle never figured out what she meant by that. At the awards ceremony, Gothitelle gets her gilded jellicent and it comes down to Altaria and Clamperl because they competed in the challenge and are outcasts on the team. But, the boyfriend-stealing Altaria gets the boot. The girls alliance of Delcatty, Dragonite, Froslass, Jynx, and Milotic express disappointment in Altaria while Milotic is just glad to finally be rid of her. Altaria finally comes out as gay to defend herself, but it comes off as a lie when nobody believes her. Altaria blames the heartbroken Clamperl for her elimination saying that it’s because she didn’t like her back. Clamperl says that she didn’t even vote Altaria and then they proceed to curse Altaria out as she gets in the limo.
