Durant - TPA

Durant
Durant is a contestant on the show, Total Pokemon Action, and is a member of the Vicious Vigoroths team.

Faction-Attraction Actions
Faction-Attraction Actions is the first episode Durant appears in. During Durant’s introduction, Pikachu reveals that he didn’t cast Durant. After begging, Pikachu agrees to allow Durant on the show. In the challenge, Durant is assigned to the Vicious Vigoroths team and has to play one of the characters in the performance. When Inkay asks Durant what props they need, Durant tells her that they really only need a scalpel. Through the heap of chaotic confusion on the Vigoroths team, Durant exclaims that he still doesn’t know his lines. After Sewaddle takes charge of the challenge, she demands Gligar, Mawile, and Durant all run lines. As Magby is doing Durant’s makeup, he points out that it’s all just dripping off, but is offered no response in return. After Elekid admits that he broke the microphone, Durant angrily calls him an idiot. As Sewaddle is frantically trying to get everything arranged, she asks Mawile, Gligar, and Durant if they know their lines. Durant hesitantly breaks the news that they don’t. This leads to Sewaddle getting Elekid and Aron to write them cue cards. During the performance, Durant plays Mawile and Gligar’s child who has many imaginary friends. Reading off of the cue cards, he says that he performed surgery on one of his friends earlier. Gligar, playing his father, suggests they go to the park to meet real friends. Then, due to Elekid failing to make correct cue cards, Durant responds, “I’d love to, but it’s raining exploding organs.” Elekid is then called out for his mistakes and tries to fix the microphones as well. Through this process, however, he knocks Durant and Mawile off of the stage. In the end, Durant’s team lost, but he received a ticket and moved on to episode 2.
