Virtual Insanity

**Season 2, Episode 19**

This is the nineteenth episode of Total Pokémon Action. Jellicent's secret affair reaches a boiling point as the cast has a virtual showdown. After an intense laser gun fight, two castmates find big targets on their backs after playing a big part in their team losing. A relationship is tampered with, but in the end, a lovable character is sent packing in a blindside.

The movie of the day is The Matrix and Jellicent informs the castmates that their challenge is to have a laser gun fight in the virtual set. Last one or ones standing win the challenge for their team. Delcatty accidentally fires her gun and eliminates Vanilluxe, then Carnivine shoots at Wailord. When Wailord disappears, it exposes Azumarill, Gastrodon, Staraptor, and Sudowoodo who were hiding behind him and they flee. Farfetch'd, Masquerain, Chimecho, Floatzel, Dragonite, Azumarill, Purugly, Togekiss, Drifblim, Parasect, Gastrodon, and Sudowoodo all get eliminated respectively. Leafeon startles Shaymin as he approaches her to continue their conversation which was interrupted earlier when he was trying to ask her to be his girlfriend. But, he gets shot by Zoroark who was trying to protect Shaymin before he can ask. Luvdisc, Ambipom, Gallade, Shaymin, Banette, Arbok, and Gliscor are eliminated. Cherrim and Houndoom try to ambush Bisharp and Lopunny, but fail miserably and get taken out instead. Unown, Castform, Jynx, Staraptor, Gorebyss, Froslass, Lopunny, and Bisharp are eliminated. Following the recent elimination, Dewgong and Milotic discuss how they're closer to winning the challenge. The couple overhears Ampharos, Ninetales, Porygon-Z, and Snorlax and leave to go get them. Ninetales wants to leave Snorlax as he slows them down, but Ampharos refuses and Snorlax passes out on top of the girls from exhaustion. This causes the group to be caught and eliminated. Persian, Girafarig, and Mismagius get eliminated. Zoroark reunites with Absol to tell her being chased, but is happy because together they can take the three chasing Zoroark. However, it turns out three others were chasing Absol. Carnivine, Delcatty, Dewgong, Luxray, Milotic, and Vespiquen all remain and win it for Team Toucannon. Ampharos, Floatzel, Ninetales, Porygon-Z, Togekiss, and Vanilluxe gather to express worry for Vanilluxe and Snorlax in the vote. Though all they like Wailord, they figure he would be easy to get a majority on because he was one of the first ones out and he hasn't been helpful because of his size. Togekiss has an ulterior motive while Ninetales doesn't want to tie herself down to that alliance. Leafeon finally gets a chance to ask Shaymin to be his girlfriend and she accepts. Also, he opens up to her about his family. Chimecho and Gallade gather fellow newbies Absol, Bisharp, Gastrodon, Lopunny, Sudowoodo, Togekiss, and Zoroark to pin a target on Snorlax after the vets have ran the game in their eyes. Persian plants a seed of paranoia in Ambipom by saying Jynx will be the next target if Team Toucannon loses. It comes down to big guys Snorlax and Wailord, but Snorlax gets boot in a somewhat shocking outcome. Snorlax says a sad goodbye to his friends who are confused how it happened, but Porygon-Z is quick to correctly assume Togekiss had something to do with it.
