## Plot

With the Lakitus, Totodile notes how fun it is being on the island, but that he finds it boring having to be with the same teammates all the time. Poochyena asks what he means by that, and the alligator Pokemon admits that, while they are doing well, he hopes they can play for themselves eventually so they have a better chance to win. Poochyena replies that Totodile will be sorry if the team screws up, and that has Fox asking if they wonder what happens to those who are eliminated. Jigglypuff says she would say "yes," but Eggman is the only member of their team who has been eliminated so far. Sandile is happy for him, since he "got out first" and notes he'd be relaxing if it was him, while Poochyena wonders what he's doing currently.

It then cuts to Eggman at his base, singing a song, as Scratch & Grounder come into the room. Scratch apologizes for snooping on his song, claiming that he told them he has an "amazing plan." Eggman reveals he needs them as part of a plan to get back on Total Stuffed Island, despite his "unfair" elimination earlier. Grounder questions this, noting the island is heavily guarded, and he and Scratch argue, as Coconuts also comes in hoping to be chosen. Eggman loudly tells them to be quiet, and decides to revive the "Super Sonic Search and Smash Squad" only now, they are known as the "Super Stuffed Fluffed Island Search and Snatch Squad," and are ordered to bring back the show's prize money.

Back on the island, Poochyena says "probably something about tears again. I mean, you saw what happened, right?" Meanwhile, Koopa Troopa talks with Kirby & Swinub over their recent losses, blaming them on Squirtle and complains about him, unaware said Pokemon is listening on from nearby. Koopa complains about how Squirtle bullies him, and he doesn't have that right, despite them both being turtles, and he wants him gone. While Swinub agrees with voting him off, Kirby is more reluctant to do so. Elsewhere, Bowser meets with his alliance, revealing their number one priority is destroying Mario. Drifloon seems confused by this, as Mario is so nice, but Bowser tells her that he wants her to think, and rants about him. Louie agrees to help after Bowser claims Mario eats all the tacos from the taco stand (since tacos are precious) but Drifloon is still reluctant, and is essentially strongarmed by Bowser into agreeing. As Bowser reiterates their plan to destroy Mario, he is unaware the plumber himself is walking by, and he overhears the end of the speech, while musing over Bowser's newly formed alliance.

Elsewhere on the island, Jigglypuff is walking, heading by Shaymin, who claims the puffy Pokemon is making her fall asleep. Suddenly, Jigglypuff overhears Scratch & Grounder as they attempt to steal the prize money, which they believe to be in a titanium box. As Coconuts attempts to break into the box himself, Scratch & Grounder get into an argument, and Jigglypuff realizes they are there to steal the prize. Suddenly, Gengar appears behind her, startling her, and reveals he wouldn't actually keep the prize check on the island (or Dark types like Sandile or Poochyena would've stolen it already) and the box instead contains his old socks. Recognizing the bots as belonging to Eggman, he realizes the doc is trying to get himself back in the game "which is a serious no-no." Gengar then tells Jigglypuff to gather everyone for a challenge, while he has a little fun.

In the room, Scratch & Grounder are still fighting, until Grounder hears Gengar making scary noises, though Scratch claims not to hear anything. One by one, Gengar uses his ghosts powers to scare off the Badniks, commenting on how it's "too easy" before seeing that the contestants have arrived. Gengar says they are probably wondering why they are there, and Totodile agrees, so the hosts pauses, allowing the three scared robots to run by. This leads Luigi to admit that it seems "pretty straightforward," but still asks what they are supposed to do anyway. Gengar tells them he wants them to capture the robots, so he can examine their parts and use them in his new Battlebot ("morbid & disturbing, I like it"- Poochyena). Since there are three robots, the winning team will the be the one that captures two of them. Dedede asks how they can capture them, and Gengar explains there are three boxes on the island, and they need to lure the robots into the boxes. He then teleports to a higher area to oversee the challenge, before sending the teams on their way.

With the Lakitus, Bowser orders them to follow him, as he believes he saw that giant chicken near the road ("But was he going to cross it?"- Jigglypuff). Meanwhile, the Cyclones notice Swinub sniffing out a trail and follow him, as Koopa has a confrontation with Squirtle, and Yoshi offers Peach a ride. Squirtle reveals that he heard everything Koopa said about him, and calls him "enemy," since he feels he is ruining his attempts to lead the team, after Koopa admits he hasn't been doing a good job. Squirtle asks if he wants to go back to Subspace, where he kicked his butt with Water Gun (even though Water Gun did no actual damage), and tells Koopa he will be going down the first chance he gets, while Koopa admits he "hasn't been as aggressive as you have."

Elsewhere on the island, Grounder finally stops, since he can't remember why he was running. Nearby, Bowser spots him and orders Louie to capture him, while he gets the box. Meanwhile, Swinub's scent brings him to where Gengar is, causing him to comment "wrong way" and reverse direction; Luigi, who was following him, then arrives in the same area, with Gengar informing him it was the wrong way ("I know"- Luigi). Meanwhile, Poochyena & Sandile team up to find Coconuts, but do manage to find a box. Shaymin runs into it and vows to rip one of the robots apart, while Poochyena admits he loves morbid things, but they're not allowed to kill them. Coconuts appears nearby, ranting about how Dr. Eggman (called Robotnik, natch) abandoned him to be stuck with Scratch & Grounder, and plans to build his own machine to prove his worth. Hearing this, the three confront him and Poochyena grabs him. Nearby, Totodile wakes up and sees Coconuts and attempts to get him, but Squirtle tackles him. As Coconuts & Poochyena struggle, Squirtle tackles the dog Pokemon and he and Coconuts brawl, but the turtle Pokemon manages to defeat him. However, Sandile moves the box and captures Coconuts, giving the Lakitus the first point. Squirtle complains that he did all the work, but Poochyena notes that he and Sandile actually captured him, with an angry Squirtle shoving him before storming off (while Poochyena notes that the move barely hurt him). Shaymin is angry she didn't get to beat up Coconuts, but Sandile points out there's always the box. As Shaymin assaults the box, Sandile wonders how long she will keep it up, and and Totodile replies about "12 minutes."

With the Cyclones, Luigi is angry the Lakitus got a point, while Swinub keeps smelling (even under Bowser's butt). Louie is still trying to catch Grounder, but the Badnik remembers he has drills and uses them to win. However, Swinub finds a box, and tells Luigi to get Grounder. Meanwhile, the Badnik has cornered Louie, introducing himself, but saying Louie can call him SAM because "I'm like a Surface to Air Missile, and I'm going to have you for launch" (causing Louie to criticize the terrible pun), Before Grounder can do anything, Luigi jumps on his back and uses Thunder, while Swinub tries to bring over the box, but Bowser stops him. Grounder attempts to attack the Koopa King, but he easily fights him off and sends him packing with some fire.

Over with a group consisting of Mario, Fox, Jigglypuff & Dedede, Mario complains how they haven't seen one Badnik for as long as they've been out there. He then reveals Bowser's alliance to the others and suggests they form their own to counteract it; Fox & Jigglypuff are both onboard, but Dedede is more skeptical, wondering what he gets out of it. As Mario tries to sell him on the idea of joining, he notices Scratch and gives chase, as do the others. Scratch doesn't want Dedede to cook him up "Kentucky fried style," but Dedede pleads for just one nibble ("Wait a minute, isn't he a bird?"- Fox). Fox instructs the others to get the box, but Mario can only push it with his feet, so it will take a while.

Meanwhile, Koopa is lamenting about his issues with Squirtle, wondering why he can't fight someone else instead of one of his teammates. Nearby, Peach enjoys her ride on Yoshi, but comments about how they haven't encountered any Badniks yet. As if on cue, Grounder appears, so Yoshi has Peach bop him on the head, allowing him to grab Koopa with his tongue and spit him out, knocking Grounder out cold. Swinub shows up with the box and captures him, earning the Cyclones a point, with Gengar announcing that it all comes down to whomever catches Scratch.

Elsewhere, Bowser chastises Louie for failing to stop Grounder, as he says that he thinks the robot drilled his spleen. Meanwhile, Scratch appears to have escaped Dedede, and his speed makes it hard for them to catch him. Jigglypuff then whispers "Melee" to Fox, which allows him to catch up to Scratch and attack him (as well as a nearby Kirby) before Jigglypuff restores him to normal. Squirtle tries to grab him, but Scratch easily knocks him aside, while Dedede is still looking for Scratch. Finally, Drifloon takes out the robotic chicken with one of her moves, with Squirtle congratulating her. Jigglypuff then kicks a box unto him, winning the game for the Lakitus. Squirtle is upset by this, since he hoped to make the win, and Drifloon criticizes him for not doing so. Mario, however, congratulates him on the easy win.

With the gathered contestants, Gengar singles out Shaymin, Poochyena, Sandile & Jigglypuff for their hard work (Plus Fox, despite doing that thing he doesn't want to name). For the Cyclones, he names Swinub, Yoshi & Koopa Troopa, noting how they did all the hard work, and singles out Squirtle for his failure, with Drifloon further humiliating him. Squirtle asks the rest of the team that they must've seen what happened, but they all deny it, and Gengar further mocks him for missing out on catching two Badniks. He also mentions how Bowser & Louie did horrible, but, since the Lakitus won, they won't be up for elimination. Gengar then warns the Cyclones if they keep losing, he's going to take a member of the Lakitus and put them on the team (noting he's specifically looking at Dedede towards that end).

With Mario's alliance, Dedede admits it's suspicious that they got the win, with Mario revealing that Drifloon is a double agent and cheated to help them win. He plans to expose her, and claims she might have cheated in the previous games as well. Jigglypuff and Fox suspect Bowser manipulated her into helping him, and Mario notes how they plan to get him out of the game, so they have to do something about it. Meanwhile, Squirtle meets with Koopa and congratulates him for his work in the challenge, then asks who he is going to vote out, being told "you"; Squirtle then tries to acknowledge how good that is, since he is the team's leader, before simply saying "I'm doomed." Elsewhere, Yoshi meets with Swinub & Kirby, noting their penchant for being big eaters; Swinub thinks he's proposing an alliance, but Yoshi insists he just wants them to be friends, and not be a group at least until the merge. Swinub however, wishes they would make a team of three challenge, as Gengar, who is nearby, agrees and heads off. Swinub then proposes going to the mess hall, and Kirby quickly rushes off, so Yoshi gives the pig Pokemon a ride. Over with Bowser, he congratulates Drifloon on her work, though she feels she helped the team more than hurt it, but Bowser says Squirtle was annoying so it doesn't matter. He reinforces his plan to get rid of Mario, though Louie suggests they go after the Pokemon since there are a lot of them, and Drifloon wonders if that includes her; Bowser, however, assure her his "stupid colleague" meant the Dark type Pokemon, and she agrees to that, since the Dark types have hurt her, so Bowser says they will target Poochyena and leaves. After he does, Louie asks "am I stupid?"

It's elimination time yet again, and Gengar again mocks the Cyclones for their frequent losing streak. However, he is interrupted by crinkling noise, and finds Yoshi, Swinub & Kirby eating some food (including his personal Moon Cheese); Yoshi explains that they were hungry and went to the Mess Hall to get some food. Gengar asks them if they paid for it, and Swinub tells him they paid in "love"; Gengar replies by saying he could eliminate all of them right then, but that wouldn't be fair, so he takes back the Moon Cheese and continues the ceremony (however, Yoshi whispers to Kirby that all the Moon Cheese was eaten). Gengar eliminates everyone but Koopa & Squirtle (during which, he refers to Swinub, Kirby & Yoshi as thieves) then admits the elimination is obvious and Squirtle is sent packing. Squirtle admits the team won't miss him and attempts a "your mom" joke before Koopa takes the Moon Cheese and throws it at him, telling him to go home, leave him alone "and piss off." Squirtle protests that the team needs him as a leader, while Gengar shoves him into the "Boom Boom Cannon 2.0," which resembles a tank gun barrel. After asking for his last words, Gengar listens as Squirtle rants about the team needing him, before blasting him off and, using a lot of alliteration, signs off the episode.
