"Dear audience, the long-awaited annual Extreme Pokémon Race is about to begin!"
This is a traditional competition in the Township of Eggseter. Adults and children alike wait for this day every year. All the contestants were gearing up and waiting for the race to officially start.
"The Racer who takes first place in today's race will get the title of this year's Best Rider and the glorious championship trophy!"
This championship trophy is a bit perfunctory, it just looks like a Poké Ball. Unlike the old Seaking fishing competition, the golden trophy had a Seaking sculpture on it.
Looks very thoughtful when looking at it like this.
However, the title of the Beat Racer is still very attractive to many people, especially Ash who is very competitive.
The most important thing for him is to compete with Gary and see which one them is better!
The rules of the competition are very simple. After starting at the Stadium where they are at the moment, the players must pass through the town of Eggseter, go to the home of Mr. Shellby where they turned back, get a fake Pokémon Egg from there, and then return to this Stadium before anyone.
The replacement Eggs for this race is a model the same size as a regular Pokémon Egg.
Therefore, this Stadium is both the starting point and the end point of the whole thing.
The racers are very free to choose the route between here and the return point, so many people came up with many strategies to get a head start over others.
"Ash, let's see which one of use is a better racer!" Gary turned to look at Ash, "By the way, are you sure you want to use this guy to compete with me? Don't you have that Raikou you showed me before?"
Ash did not choose Suicune or Raikou to compete in this race, not entirely because he would be practically invincible in this race because he was competing with a Legendary Pokémon. After all, using a Legendary Pokémon like Raikou just goes to show Ash's own strength.
But this opportunity was rare and he wanted to give this guy a chance.
"Of course, my Tauros has the best physical strength and strength! We will win this race and show the people the Power of Youth! "
That's right, the one Ash exchanged with Professor Oak to participate in the competition this time is the strongest of all of his other Tauros's!
This was the same one, the leader of all the Tauros that are now in the Safari Zone, who leads the other Tauros to run wildly every day across the Professors Lab.
His physique is very strong, its height reaches an incredible 1.7 meters, and its pair of horns are even bigger than his other companions!
Yesterday, Ash exchanged him from the Lab and got him ready for race. He and Tauros practiced for all the time they had left, which was not that much at all.
Just like when he and Charizard practiced Flying together before, Charizard's Bond Value increased rapidly, during this practice, the bonding value of this Tauros and him continued to increase at an astonishing rate.
After the Tauros competition, his current Bond Value has reached 140/250.
And as of this morning, its Bond Value has reached 200/255!
This is a very impressive number and it reached that level in a very short time!
"Bet, I will never lose to you!" Gary looked at Ash's Tauros. It was indeed very different from all the ones he saw in Lab or any of the ones he fought along his travels. This Tauros will be a formidable opponent to his Arcanine!
"Okay, all the players are ready and are standing at the starting point!"
"The Extreme Pokémon Race in Eggseter is about to begin!"
(We could not do it without our sponsors, thank you to Raid Shadow Legends!)
The three red lights on the Stadium light up in sequence, and the moment they turn blue, the race officially begins!
All the contestants set off at the same time and tried their best to seize the opportunity and get a head start over everyone!
"Looks at that, all the contestants rushed out together!"
However, the situation soon changed into that of a all out brawl!
Scyther took off too hard and brought his Trainer into the air with him.
The Trainer that was pulled up into the air accidentally hit some of the other Trainers, and several of them suddenly turned into gourds rolling on the ground and scraped into a ball.
The three heads of Dodrio began to fight again against each other without any reasons. It is very difficult for the three of them to cooperate together on anything, and because of that they are always in constant conflicts. Let alone racing with their Trainer, if they could stand still without fighting each other, it would be a miracle.
Just as Lickitung was about to start, he stepped on his own tongue out of nervousness and tripped over.
His saliva spilled all over the floor, and Rhydon accidentally slipped and fell on a savarang next to him!
"There was a sudden situation at the beginning, and many racers fell down one after another after the start!" The explanation seemed to be used to this situation, but the audience was not surprised at all because soem thing like this happens every year!
"Go! Arcanine!" Gary started smoothly and performed very steadily from the very beginning.
Arcanine as a species was very fast, but when it comes to racing with Gary behind him, he certainly cannot use its full speed because if he did then his Trainer will fall off.
But Ash is different from Gary. As many Pokémon have completed their Bond Evolution with him, his current physique has been strengthened to a terrifying degree! At this point he is stronger than many Pokémon.
"Tauros, speed up!"
The three tails of Tauros slapped against each other fiercely because of the speed, and Tauros himself also became more fierce, and he began to increase his speed!
The sudden acceleration caused Ash's skateboard to tilt upward. However, Ash's balance was so strong that he adjusted his posture in an instant, cooperating with Tauros to forcefully stabilize himself!
"Gary, to your left!" Fast and furious, Ash is now a skilled extreme racer, well for a first time!
Seeing Ash leave him behind, Gary gritted his teeth and said, "Arcanine, let's speed up too but a little more slowly, chase them!"
He didn't dare to increase his speed all at once like Ash because he knew Ash was different.
"After leaving the chaos at the start, the leading group appeared! The person running at the front is Racer Ash, who was participating in this competition for the first time. His Tauros is very strong and really showing that wild nature of his!"
Tauros: 210/255
Only Ash can make Tauros run like this. If he had been replaced by someone else, they would have flown out long ago, maybe even before speeding up.
"Luckily Ash was not involved in the initial chaos!" Misty was really happy for Ash when she saw his performance so far.
"Big Brother, come on! You can win this!"
Tauros and Ash were first by quite a bit, behind them was Gary and another group of Trainers, they soon arrived at the highlight of the race.
This is a rugged mountain road with uneven roads at all side. If the racers are not careful, they will be thrown out of the skateboard because of the frictions caused by the two forces. Moreover, there are many curves here. If they do not control it well, they will be easily thrown out by their own Pokémon because of the speed.
"Arcanine, speed up!"
Unexpectedly, Gary asked his Arcanine to speed up again at this time, leaving other trainers behind and coming to Ash's side again.
"Ash, I won't lose to you this time around! Tauros is not good at turning, so you won't dare to speed up, right?" Gary understands Tauros' weaknesses very well.
It was difficult for themselves to even control themselves to stop at a straight line, so in the past a large group of Tauros would often knock the predecessor Ash away into the horizon.
"Gary, you are right this time, but it is still impossible for you to win against me!"
Ash and Gary were neck and neck, far ahead of others, and soon ran out of the mountain road area.
In this way, Mr. Shellby's home was not far from their current point!
"Tauros, speed up again!"
The three tails twitched hard again, causing Ash to accelerate suddenly, leaving Gary behind again.
"What a great thing we came upon on, this is a great harvest!"
At this moment, there was an intruder in Mr. Shellby's house. "I didn't expect there to be so many Pokémon Eggs here. Think of all the money we can make by selling these Eggs! As long as we sell these eggs, we can pay off our debts and evn make a lot of extra money."
Not only Mr. Shellby's house, but also the houses that are owned by Pokémon Breeders in this valley, they all had their Pokémon Eggs stolen.
"Hurry up, that twerp will soon be coming in this direction!"
The Rocket Trio happily carried a basket filled with Pokémon Eggs. While Ash was participating in the race, they successfully invaded the place and prepared to quickly sweep all the Eggs away.
But they still got carried away, Ash's speed exceeded their expectations, he had already arrived before their eyes!
"Team Rocket, how did you escape from jail thsi time around?"
Seeing Ash in front of them, the couple saw their savior, "Ash, they stole everyone's Pokémon Eggs!"
"Ash? Why are you here so fast?" Jessie and the others didn't care about the other Pokémon Eggs anymore. They just ran away holding the basket in their hands, with a bad feeling in their hearts.
However, Gary, who was closely behind Ash, cut off their retreat. He let go of the reins, and Arcanine's speed suddenly burst out, taking back all the baskets they were carrying.
Seeing this, Ash said nothing else other than a command, "Hyper Beam!"
"Arcanine, Flamethrower!"
Team Rocket was knocked away back from wherever they came from. Ash and Gary received the fake Eggs and fired from Mr. Shellby's store again at the same time.
Gary tried his best and even took the risk of taking a shortcut, but he still couldn't beat Ash and his Tauros. He only lost this time because of the physical difference between him and Ash! Ash could handle more of Tauros's speed than he can with Arcanines speed.
"Look at that, Racer Ash won the Extreme Pokémon Race! And he set a record of winning the championship at the fastest speed ever recorded in the competition! The Best Rider this year is Ash Ketchum!"
Ash received his trophy, and even Tauros had a golden meddle hanging around his neck!
In addition to the championship trophy and the title of Best Rider, Ash also received a blue Pokémon Egg given to him by Mr. Shellby and his wife as a thank you gift for protecting their Breeder House.
They said this Pokémon Egg should hatch soon!
"Wow, it's a Pokémon Egg. Thank you, Uncle Shellby and Aunty Kimie!" Molly immediately rushed to hold it in her arms.
"Ash, I have no regrets about this race. We'll see you again at the Silver Conference. I won't lose to you again then!" Gary also said his goodbye to Ash and his team.
"See you at the Silver Conference!" Ash said aloud to Gary as he was walking away.
Tauros: 220/255
After the race, while Misty stayed with Molly at Mr. Shellby's house to help him get everything settled after the Team Rocket incident.
Ash was smiling as he walked to the Pokémon Center to call his mom and someone else.
He first called his Mom and told her about him winning the Extreme Pokémon Race and he sent her the trophy to her via the Pokémon Mail. He sent all the trophies he won back home to his room. He also told her to tell the Professor about his title.
He then called Maya and told her about all his recent works because it has been some time since he last talked with his so called Soulmate.
He found out from Maya that her family has a long tradition of having a Soulmate thanks to the Sea Soul they possess.
And Ash just happened to be her Soulmate. Ash also felt something everytime he looked at her.
————————————————————
In a single file line, drop your stones here. Thank you for your support.
Thunder and lightning were everywhere, in front of them, behind them, over them, and the sides!
Pikachu's cheeks sparkled with constant sparks, looking particularly excited amidst the thunder storm that was going on.
However, Molly changed her usual fearless and careless attitude and huddled in Ash's arms while holding the Pokémon Egg that Ash received. She was a more than a little afraid of the ongoing thunder storm.
Meganium reached out to the side and gently patted her back with her Vine Whip to comfort the little girl.
Because of the constant thunder and heavy rain, and Ash and his group hurriedly ran towards the Pokémon Center that was located nearby.
Fortunately, it was already dark, and they had already planned to spend the night at the Pokémon Center, so the distance was not far away from their current location.
"It's raining heavily outside, I'm glad to see you guys are all fine!" Nurse Joy handed Molly a towel and was nice enough to help her dry her hair when she walked inside.
Brock suddenly rushed over to her in an instant, "Nurse Joy, I think this rain is pulling use to meet each other! We are destined to be together!"
Misty pulled him away by his ears before he could continue on with his love confession, "Okay, okay, that's it for now! You can distract her later."
The only guests who came tonight were Ash and his party. They came to the room arranged by Nurse Joy for them. After a tiring day, they tidied up and went to sleep quickly after falling on the bed.
Late at night, The Team Rocket Trio appeared in front of the door of Ash and his team's room. Meowth stretched out his claw and quickly unlocked the door and saw the Pokémon Egg placed on the table.
"Then let's start with that Pokémon Egg, we will snatch it away from the twerp!"
They planned to steal Ash's Egg because of their last failed attempt ar doing that!
James used one of his trusted fishing rod to lift Meowth up. This self made crane was used to lift Meowth up to get the Egg by the bedside.
"Nice!"
"Yeah!"
"Wobb-!"
But no, Wobbuffet couldn't stand to be quite anymore!
Jessie and James quickly held it down, but its sound had already woken up a member of Ash's group!
Togepi!
Seeing the farce of the idiot trio, Togepi seemed to be particularly happy, waving her little hands around.
Almost like a Metronome, because it was a Metronome.
Then, a faint light emitted from these little hands, and with a slight wave, the Pokémon Egg disappeared and appeared in the forest outside the Pokémon Center.
She is using the move Metronome to use Teleport! Or sending others with Teleport! How awesome is that!
When the Team Rocket trio came to their senses, they found that the Egg was missing!
"Wobb~"
Before they could even think about looking for it, Wobbuffet picked up a fruit and started eating it. Their attention was immediately attracted by the food in the Pokémon Center.
Who cares why or where the Pokémon Egg disappeared? They just wanted to eat something right now.
By the time Molly discovered that the Egg was missing in the morning, they had already eaten and left the Pokémon Center.
"Brother, the Pokémon Egg is missing!" Molly was so sad after noticing it that she started to cry. Ash had to coax her first to stop crying because anything else.
"What happened?" Nurse Joy heard the little girl crying from where she was early in the morning and hurried over to check up what the situation was.
Molly's mood had recovered a bit after being coaxed by Ash, and she replied pitifully, "Nurse Joy, the Pokémon Egg that was with me is missing!"
"Missing? How is that possible?"
Nurse Joy immediately called Officer Jenny after hearing Molly's words.
Officer Jenny arrived very quickly after getting the call. She drifted and stopped in front of Ash and the others who came out of the Pokémon Center. She gave a standard salute, "Is this the Pokémon Center where the incident happened?"
Brock immediately went up to her and was getting ready to say his usual confessions when seeing a beautiful lady. But this time something special happened.
This time, Misty didn't need to take any action. Molly jumped up and pulled his ears away before he could even begin his talk, "The most important thing now is to find my Pokémon Egg. Brother Brock, don't cause trouble for now. You can do that later!"
Officer Jenny ignored their antics and looked at Ash and Nurse Joy, "Please tell me all the details you have!"
In fact, there are no details whatsoever. They just woke up in the morning and found that the Pokémon Egg that was with them was now missing. In fact, Ash had no intention of asking Burse Joy and Officer Jenny for help.
But this Officer Jenny seems to be particularly enthusiastic, "I have handled countless incidents like this, so leave this matter to me. After all I'm a professional detective, I know how to deal with this kind of things!"
After listening to her talking, this Officer Jenny seems a bit unreliable!
She must have been the oddball in her family.
Ash shook his head, "Officer Jenny, did you bringing out your Growlithe with you?"
Originally, he was planning to exchange Houndoom for help, but now that Officer Jenny is here, it saves him the trouble of calling Professor Oak again.
Of course Officer Jenny took her Growlithe with her, and following the scent of Ash's body, it quickly found the constant-temperature incubator that originally contained the Pokémon Egg.
However, the Pokémon Egg itself is missing from the inside!
"Growlithe, please try again!"
This time following the smell of the missing Egg inside the incubator, Growlithe quickly led the group to find a wild Kangaskhan.
In the pouch of that Kangaskhan is Ash's missing Pokémon Egg!
"Big Brother, I found it!" Molly seemed even happier than Ash after finding the missing Egg.
She immediately rushed forward, "Kangaskhan, that Egg belongs to my brother, can you please return it to us?"
Molly is very courageous, even if that's not a good thing in some cases. If the Kangaskhan attacks her, she won't be able to do anything to it! But fortunately, Kangaskhan as a species is a very gentle Pokémon.
Ash ran over to her side, looked at the Kangaskhan and smiled, "Are you worried about it, so you put it in your pouch? Thank you so much for protecting it!"
Kangaskhan confirmed the Aura on Ash's body and returned the Pokémon Egg to Ash.
Ash carefully put the Egg back into the incubator and handed it to Molly to hold it for now.
Then, he hugged the Kangaskhan gently and said, "Thank you!"
"Molly, there is always a lot of warmth in this world, understand?"
At this moment, this Pokémon Egg suddenly began to emit a dazzling light!
It was going to hatch right now of all time!
"It's about to be born!" Molly exclaimed. This was the second time she witnessed the birth of a Pokémon, but no matter how many times she came, she was always full of expectations!
Misty, Brock, Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny gathered around, hoping to witness the birth of a new life!
After shining for a few seconds, what appeared in front of them was a blue cutie, with big ears, a long nose, and a cute and innocent look!
Phanpy is the pre-evolution form of Donphan that Ash and his team encountered way back around the beginning of their Johto Adventures. In the original series, he will become another one of Ash's Pokemon's!
"Wow, it's so cute!" Molly almost fainted from the cuteness of the baby Phanpy. She likes Phanpy very much ever since she first saw it from her dad. She even used a Phanpy to fight Ash during the incident in the Crystal Tower.
Ash nodded his head, "Molly, now there is a little guy who is even cuter than you!"
"No, I'm always the cutest!" Molly curled her lips.
Ash walked up slowly and gently touched Phanpy's nose. Feeling the owner's affection, Phanpy waved his nose around happily, and then bumped him with his nose. This was Phanpy's way of expressing his love.
Despite its small body, it was already very powerful. The Normal Trainer cannot handle such a Tackle, but Ash took it easily because he is not normal in any sense of the way.
"Come on, come on!"
He took out the Poké Ball and subdued the newly hatched Phanpy.
"I just caught a Phanpy!" Molly stole Ash's signature words again!
The Kangaskhan looked at Ash and his newly hatched Phanpy and nodded towards them, then turned and left with her baby.
