Doraemon: Nobita and the True Warrior: The Very Beginning

Chapter 11: The Incredible Sky High Race Part 1

The scorching summer sun blazed mercilessly over the quiet neighborhood where Nobita and his friends lived. Nobita sprawled on the tatami mat, fanning himself weakly, while Doraemon perched on a nearby cushion, his ears drooping slightly despite being a robot immune to the heat.

"I can't take this anymore!" Nobita groaned. "Even the fan is just blowing warm air."

"Stop complaining, Nobita," Doraemon said, though his tone lacked its usual energy. "You're not the only one melting here."

Shizuka, sitting by the window, dabbed her forehead with a handkerchief. "It's unbearable. Maybe we should go swimming?"

"Swimming's too boring!" Suneo declared, reclining under a feeble electric fan. "We need something...cooler. Something exciting!"

"I have an idea!" Doraemon suddenly perked up, his bell jingling. "Let's escape this heat with some fun in the future!"

"The future?" everyone exclaimed, their eyes lighting up.

Doraemon reached into his pouch and pulled out a sleek, glowing device that resembled a futuristic tablet. "This is the Future Fun Activity Selector 5000. We can use it to choose something thrilling to do in the future. Let's see..."

Everyone gathered around as Doraemon scrolled through options. Suddenly, the screen stopped on a colorful image of futuristic hoverboards and flying suits zipping through iconic Japanese cities. "The Great Sora Super Race!" Doraemon announced dramatically. "A thrilling race on advanced across Japan's most famous cities, with the finish line right in front of our house! What do you think?"

"Right in front of my house?" Nobita asked, surprised.

"Yes! It's a perfect end to an epic adventure," Doraemon said.

"Sounds amazing!" Shizuka said, clapping her hands.

"I'm gonna win!" Gian roared.

"No way, I'll be the champion," Suneo smirked, adjusting his sunglasses.

"What about me?" Nobita asked nervously.

"You'll just have to try your best, Nobita!" Daiki chimed in. Despite his amnesia, Daiki's cheerful personality and supportive nature always uplifted the group.

"All right, let's go!" Doraemon activated the Anywhere Door, and with a whoosh, the group stepped into the dazzling future.

Stepping through the door, the group found themselves standing on a floating platform in the sky, surrounded by shimmering clouds. Beneath them lay the sprawling skyline of futuristic Tokyo, filled with soaring skyscrapers, glowing neon signs, and airborne vehicles.

"Whoa!" Nobita gasped. "This is incredible!"

"This is where the race starts," Doraemon explained, pointing to the start line, which hovered mid-air like a giant glowing ring. "We'll race through different cities, each with unique challenges. The one who crosses the final finish line at Nobita's house wins!"

"But how do we handle racing through all those obstacles without being noticed?" Shizuka asked, gazing at the towering cityscape ahead.

"Glad you asked!" Doraemon said with a grin, pulling out a small, round gadget that looked like a glowing orb. "This is the Invisible Racer Gadget. It activates invisibility for us and our gear, so no one in this timeline will notice we're flying through their cities. It's foolproof!"

"Invisibility? That's so cool!" Suneo exclaimed, clearly excited.

"Yes," Doraemon continued, "but remember, invisibility doesn't mean you can bump into buildings or each other. That's where the next gadget comes in!"
