Nightmare Come True

**Season 2, Episode 45**

This is the forty-fifth episode of Total Pokémon Action. Four eliminated castmates return and the castmates have to bring them their souls back. One team faces a hard loss and ends up creating one of the most shocking eliminations to date.

Jellicent tells the castmates that the movie of the day is Coraline and ghosts will be involved which terrifies Gastrodon. The challenge will be to return four ghosts, two per team, their souls in the Other Mother's World. The ghosts were to be played by eliminated castmates Azumarill, Leavanny, Mightyena, and Skarmory. Shaymin explains her team's confidence considering that they double the other team in members, plus Gastrodon is terrified of ghosts. Team Cresselia walked in to meet the ghosts, Leavanny and Mightyena, that they would be working with and Gastrodon immediately ran off. Sudowoodo chased after him. Vespiquen is annoyed by it. Delcatty feels bad for him. But, the show must go in. Team Darkrai meets their ghosts, Azumarill and Skarmory, and decided to split up into groups. Milotic, Ninetales, and Purugly formed the first group and left to search. Drifblim, Leafeon, and Shaymin formed another group. In light of recent events, Floatzel invited Carnivine and Dewgong, leaving Persian with Gliscor and Houndoom. Persian is thrilled because they are good at challenges and it'll make him look good if they do well. Azumarill caught up with them to hang out, particularly Gliscor, and help them as she'll be right there when they find a soul. Vespiquen and Zoroark discuss that winning the challenge relies on them. Floatzel opens Carnivine and Dewgong's minds to the fun of sliding down stair railings. Delcatty and Pachirisu show up and join them. Sudowoodo looks frantically for Gastrodon and comments that while he's not very fast, he turns on the jets when he's afraid. Ninetales confronts Milotic and Purugly on their boy troubles and gets their heads back in the game. Drifblim, Leafeon, and Shaymin have a moment sharing their feelings about being on the outs of the team. Meanwhile, Skarmory decides to hang out with Leavanny and Mightyena since Azumarill left him by himself. Purugly reaches for the soul, but Persian snatches it from her, irritating her. He takes it and tosses it to Azumarill, returning her to normal. Vespiquen and Zoroark find a soul and run by the stairs to see Delcatty and Pachirisu messing around with their friends. Vespiquen is unbothered and unsurprised, but claims that she will not let her or Zoroark take the fall if they lose. As the Pachi squad has some harmless fun, Carnivine and Delcatty share a particular sweet moment after reuniting since the swap. Drifblim shows up with the second soul and returns Skarmory to normal. Sudowoodo finally finds Gastrodon and returns him to the team who informs the couple that they already lost the challenge.

Milotic tries to talk to Dewgong, but he runs off with Carnivine and Floatzel. A the awards ceremony, it comes down to the couple of Gastrodon and Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo is sobbing and Gastrodon is admitting defeat. But, Jellicent reveals that it's Sudowoodo who is getting the boot. Their teammates explained that they decided Gastrodon was better to keep if the couple was to split up since he's emotionally stronger, evident by Sudowoodo still sobbing. She sobs all the way to the limo.
