Escape the Nightmare (Discontinued)

Racing To A Big Event!

So this video isn't mine but it's a kickass song. Really gets me pumped. Anyways I put this out as soon as I finished it. Hope you enjoy it!

I finally decided to return to the land of the living after a couple of months. I missed so many things. Kiawe and Kukui obviously kept me updated but I felt it was time and of course I had to come back when the most popular event in alola occurred. The pancake race. It's a race where both the trainer and their Pokémon carry a plate full of pancakes. All the news would be covering it and usually I participate but I don't think I will this year. Of course I had to just agree to help out Mallow with practice. So here I am sitting on the steps outside her family restaurant watching bounsweet jumping around with a cute determined face and a stack of pancakes on her face.

Ash followed bounsweet back and forth. along with Pikachu and Rotom dex. "Do you have any idea of what their doing?" Rotom floated down next to Ash's face and Ash continued staring at the Pokémon. "Good question. Hey Mallow!" Mallow turned around and yelled at Ash with a stern face before going back to what she was doing. Ash paled before going quiet. I patted his shoulder before standing next to Mallow to cheer on bounsweet. "Come on bounsweet! You can do it! Go full speed!" The Pokémon cried out before bouncing at a ridiculous speed around in a circle and zooming back around past Mallow who holds up a stopwatch. She clicks it looking down at it before cheering. "Bounsweet that was your fastest time yet! And if we keep training every day for the race then your time will be even quicker!" She kneeled down to take the plate off the Pokémon's head.

"What race?" Mallow looked over at him before chuckling a bit to herself. "I guess you wouldn't know about it. The island pancake race is a tradition here on meleme island. Oh I know! Why don't you and Pikachu join in on the race. The rules are simple and it's a lot of fun! Besides all of us are doing it including Willow!" I look up at mallow one shock "I never agreed to this." Mallow laughed looking at me "well you are now silly!" I sweat drop scratching the back of my head "do I even have a choice?" "Nope!"

3ed pov:

Small fireworks were thrown into the sky and a girl on a magnezone. Willow held her bannette on her shoulder as she used him to help her search for her friends. But arceus there were so many people here. Making her way to the starting line in hopes of finding people a voice called out her name. Bannete cried out happily pointing in a direction. She let her eyes follow the sound of the voice to see Mallow, Ash and Kiawe flagging her down. She shyly lifted her hand to wave to them.

"You made it! I thought you weren't gonna show at this rate!" Mallow smiled as she side hugged Willow while holding a plate of pancakes. "I tried looking for y'all but I needed a bit of help." Pointing to banette on her shoulder. "Which one of your Pokémon are you using for the race? I thought for sure you would use banette." Willow chuckled putting banette back onto his pokeball. "Absol wanted to give it a shot this year. So I can't deny him that." "Well think of this as a good opportunity to socialize again." Kiawe walked up to Willow and layed a hand on her shoulder blushing slightly. Willow nodded before looking around. "I'm going to go get my pancake plate I'll be right back." "We'll be here!" With that Willow walked away to find a employee table.

Of course the table had to be all the way in the very back of the grounds. Willow grunted as she nearly shoved people aside trying to get back into position. She nearly didn't make it when the announcer started to announce the rules. "Blue sky's above indicating a beautiful day for the Pokémon pancake race! We here at alola tv are proud to broadcast live to all the alola islands! Now if y'all could look at the diagram on the screen you'll see the track for the race. All our human competitors must clear the first leg of the race by going through obstacles and steep inclines before finally reaching their Pokémon partners! Then the people must pull their partners in a wagon until they reach the next checkpoint! Finally it's the leg of the race for Pokémon only! If any Pokémon uses a move to hinder any other Pokémon then that Pokémon is immediately disqualified!"
