The Eliminator

**Season 2, Episode 14**

This is the fourteenth episode of Total Pokémon Action. The challenge is to take down pretty weak robots. One person is doing a great job for their team, but makes the mistake of trying to take out several robots at once. Many teammates get caught in the blast and they become the easy target at the anticlimactic awards ceremony.

Before anything, Jellicent welcomes Chef Bastiodon back after serving time in prison for an unknown crime. While he leaves to start dinner, the castmates learn that the movie franchise of the day is The Terminator movies. Their challenge is to defeat as many robots as they can within an hour. The team with more robots taken down wins the challenge. Metagross is very happy about getting to let out some anger on robots since he’s been wanting to beat some people up. Lopunny gets her hands on Gallade and Bisharp to team up with. As she puts it, she needs eye candy now that Hitmonlee is gone. Houndoom shows off for Cherrim. Snorlax opens up to Azumarill, Gliscor, and Vanilluxe about his problem with Ampharos since her evolution and how she’s so freakishly smart now. They convince him to stop being stupid and talk things out with her. A montage ensues. Carnivine, Farfetch’d, and Manaphy are impressed by Metagross and want to stay by his side which annoys Arbok who is with them. Ninetales and Purugly split up from Persian and Smeargle after not seeing any robots in half an hour. Smeargle tells Persian to stop leading Purugly on to which Persian admits he hasn’t been and they almost kissed. Smeargle asks how that came to be and Persian deflects the question because he doesn’t want to admit it was after they successfully got Arcanine eliminated. This concerns Smeargle and he does not get over it. Drifblim, Girafarig, Gorebyss, and Luvdisc find Banette, Dewgong, Leafeon, and Parasect. Neither group is having any luck, so they decide to all become one group. Another montage plays. Too many robots come at once to the group of Arbok, Carnivine, Farfetch’d, Manaphy, and Metagross. They worry that they can’t get them all at once, but Metagross proves them wrong by using Rock Slide. Banette, Dewgong, Drifblim, Girafarig, Gorebyss, Leafeon, Luvdisc, and Parasect show up to the scene to help. Metagross yells at them to get out of the way, but it’s too late. Ambipom, Floatzel, and Porygon-Z work to get Ampharos back in touch with her fun side by showing her how to have more fun when taking down robots. Metagross panics because he just knocked twelve of his teammates unconscious. Then, Jellicent shows up and tells him that times up and Team Toucannon lost the challenge. With the help of Azumarill and Floatzel, Ampharos and Snorlax are able to reconcile. Masquerain pulls Gorebyss aside and tells her straight up how she feels which shocks Gorebyss. Gorebyss feels guilty knowing she wasted her time on Altaria. Gorebyss says that they should hang out sometime to see where it goes. Jynx invites Girafarig to her all-girl alliance, but is quickly shut down because it’s apparently not Girafarig’s thing. Milotic shows up on the scene to tease her about it. At the awards ceremony, it went by fast as it was unanimous against Metagross. Before he leaves, Metagross threatens Gothitelle that a reckoning is coming for her.
