Rhydon: Last time on the Rhydonculous Race... we did the impossible. Thanks to help from big brained Pokemon like Kadabra and Alakazam, we were able to visit the world of Fire Emblem! So cool! Obviously, the Gamers were in their happy place because, well, they were inside a video game! That's like a dream come true. Anyways, while there, teams had to fly on top of Pegasi and fight deadly Risen and even battle against each other. In the end, Shinx and Meowstic being the Fire Emblem and video game fanatics that they are, won the leg with their skill and determination! But on the opposite end, Lifelong Friends Bulbasaur and Squirtle came in last and saw their race come to an end. It's gonna be hard to top that extremely exciting day last time but we'll see what happens today on... The Rhydonculous Race! (Heavily smiles and winks at the camera)

(Theme song)

Rhydon: We are back in Tokyo at the chill zone!

Shinx: Um, are we gonna explain how we got back?

Rhydon: Nope. Now hurry and get the tip! We're on the clock here!

Meowstic: Alright, alright. (Grabs the tip and hands it to Shinx) What does it say?

Shinx: It says we're going to New York City!

(Somewhere else)

Rhydon: New York, New York. Always bustling and busy because the city never sleeps! There are so many amazing things here like Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, Broadway and Rockefeller Plaza which is where teams are going to be headed. Once they arrive here they'll have an Either Or challenge to face!

(Back at the chill zone)

Buneary: (squeals) No way! I really hope we get to see Broadway! That's we're all the amazing plays and performances are!

Flaaffy: I'm not one it squeal but... (squeals) Oh I hope so too!

(At the airport)

Meowstic: Two seats on the flight to New York. Actually... all these people behind us want to go too...

Quagsire: Hmm... let me see... Ah-ha. We have eight seats left open. The rest of you will have to take another flight.

Sandshrew: Which is?

Quagsire: Two hours later. (The Fashion Designers, Athletes, New Friends and Boyfriend and Girlfriend moan)

Rhydon: (to the camera) That's definitely an advantage for the first four teams, but who knows. Will it be enough? Anyway, thanks to the power of editing some time has passed and both planes are sky high!

(On plane two)

Pachirisu: I can't believe it! We missed flight one by one placement!

Togedemaru: Come on, it's okay. Don't get all angry.

Pachirisu: (snaps) IM NOT ANGRY! (Covers her mouth) Oops. Guess maybe I'm a tad bit angry.

Togedemaru: (sarcastically) Wow you think? But hey don't worry, it'll be all be fine.

(Further back on the plane)

Vulpix: Ooh, I hear they have tons of stores in New York! Isn't that so exciting?

Sandshrew: Meh. Not really.

Vulpix: (yelling) OKAY THAT IS IT! Sandshrew what is wrong with you? Ever since Kirlia dumped you you've changed!

Sandshrew: What? No I haven't!

Vulpix: Yes you have! Now your pretending to like sports and video games and other boyish stuff and it's kinda ridiculous and-

Sandshrew: SHUT UP VULPIX!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS FOR ME TO BE MYSELF AND APPEAR NORMAL!!! (storms off into the bathroom)

Vulpix: (Looks sad) Sandshrew...

(In confessional)
Vulpix: I can't believe it! Sandshrew isn't just upset about Kirlia but I think it's because of the fact that he is a guy and is into fashion. (Sighs) I never knew how hard this was for him... Kirlia's words must have put him over the edge. They made him feel like a guy isn't allowed to like fashion because it's not what most other guys like and that's why he's trying to change!
(End)

Machoke: To be fair, only loser guys like fashion. Real men like sports and weight lifting.

Weavile: True. Sandshrew hardly is a male.

Vulpix: (Looks extremely angry) YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT KILLED MY BEST FRIEND!!! TAKE THIS! (Uses Flamethrower on them and starts chasing them up and down the plane)

Togedemaru: (smirks) Nice!

Chespin: (sleeping) Huh? Can you keep it down?

Chikorita: Get em Vulpix!!

(On plane one)

Pichu: Pass the chips Pichuette! I'm really hungry!

Pichuette: No! You already ate yours, these are mine!

Pichu: Yeah but I'm hungrier so it's fairer if I get them! (Grabs them)

Pichuette: What? Do you even know what fair means? (Grabs them back)

Pichu: Ugh! Fine...

Pichuette: (Looks a little sad) Okay, fine we can share them. (Hands him some chips)

Pichu: Yay! Best sister ever!

Oshawott: (looking at the Pichu Twins) See Buizel, that's how family should be like!

Buizel: Ha! Give it a minute and they'll start ripping each other's heads off.

Oshawott: Well, maybe but... that's not my point okay?

Buizel: Relax cous, we are still here. Top eight! But we definitely need to start placing better. My sports teams are usually number one, so we need to be too! No more making it in like second last and stuff.

Oshawott: Well we got second yesterday, but yeah. Done deal!

Buneary: Hey Buizel. Hey Oshawott.

Oshawott: Hi.

Buneary: I was wondering if you guys wanted to watch-

Flaaffy: Buneary shut up! We are about to land!

Buneary: Wait seriously? (The plane lands)

Quagsire: Thank you for flying with us, have a nice day.

Meowstic: Hurry! Let's be the first ones out!

(Outside the airport)

Buizel: Yo! Taxi!

Shinx: Yoo hoo! Over here!

Pichu: Come on, stop already! (The four teams enter taxis)

Pichuette: Rockefeller Plaza! And hurry!

Flaaffy: We are in a race and this is kinda a big deal, so no pressure.

(The screen flips to Rockefeller plaza and the teams race out of the taxis)

Flaaffy: Get the tip! (Buneary and Buizel hit the box at the same time)

Buizel & Buneary: Oops. Sorry you take it! (Pauses) No you take it. (They both laugh)

Flaaffy: (rolls eyes) Ewww. Cliche.

Buneary: It's an either or challenge. Skate or scurry.

Rhydon: (to the camera) In this either or challenge teams must either successfully skate and perform an Olympic ice skating routine in the Rockefeller rink, or they can chose scurry and take a baby carriage, run to Central Park and grab three apples for their next tip.

Pichu: Ooh look at all the stores Pichuette! Let's buy some toys with our parent's credit card!

Pichuette: We can't, we have a race and- Wait you have mom's credit card?

Pichu: (pulls it out) Um, why is that bad?

Pichuette: No way! Now we can buy all the stuff we want! (They start cheering)

Oshawott: Um... isn't that illegal...

Buneary: Lets skate. It should be easy for contest performers like us.

Buizel: Same. I mean, we're gonna do it too!

Oshawott: Are you sure? Isn't it kinda dangerous? (Buizel shoots him with Water Gun) Gah! Hey!

Buizel: Come on, nows my change to show Buneary how awesome I am! Don't blow this for me!

Pichu: Lets do the scurry challenge.

Shinx: Us too. (Pichuette thinks for a moment)

(Team confessional)
Pichuette: We are getting down to the end here, so strategy matters more then ever.

Pichu: Um, what do you mean?

Pichuette: I mean, we need to be smart and strategic. The Gamers have won the past two legs but I'll make sure they don't win a third. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to come in last but I want to win!
(End)

Pichuette: (Yelling) Hey Pichu. Isn't the Nintendo store over there?

Meowstic: Wait? There's a Nintendo store?

Shinx: OH MY GOSH NO WAY THIS IS LIKE THREE NINTENDO IN A ROW!!!

Meowstic: Um, we probably have enough time. Let's go check it out!

Shinx: Yay! Let's-a-go! (They run off)

Pichu: Wow sis that was actually really genius. Smart thinking! (High gives her)

Pichuette: Yeah I know. (Jumps in the baby carriage) Now push Pichu! You can do it!

(On the ice skating rink)

Sneasel: Welcome to the rink. I will be the judge of whether you get this tip or not. Now get practicing!

Buneary: I'm glad Surskit and Delcatty were eliminated because they'd have a huge advantage here.

Flaaffy: Yeah no kidding. But we've got this.

Buneary: Yeah! Definetly! (High fives Flaaffy)

Buizel: Oshawott you big wuss, put on the ice skates.

Oshawott: They're really sharp, I could kill someone with them!

Buizel: Cous, you won't. Trust me. But also trust me when I say this, I will KILL YOU if we lose because of this nonsense.

Oshawott: Okay, okay, I'm putting them on

(In confessional)
Buizel: I know it seems like I'm being mean to Oshawott, but I'm only trying to build him up stronger. I'm trying to toughen him up, get it?
(End)

Flaaffy: What is we do a spin here and... (Jumps and falls) OWW! (Flaaffy's leg snaps out of place)

Buneary; FLAAFFY!!!

Flaaffy: Its okay, I can walk it off. (Looks at her dislocated leg and screams before fainting)

Buneary: MEDIC!!!

(In confessional)
Buneary: (crying) I-I c-can't. Poor Flaaffy! (Cries hysterically) Shes my best friend and it pains me to see her in so much p-p-pain! (Continues crying)
(End)

Oshawott: Oh no! What happened to Flaaffy?

Buizel: (Sighs) Guess we should go see if she's okay.

(Outside the airport)

Weavile: (raging) WHERE ARE THE STUPID TAXIS!?!?

Machoke: Weavile, just calm down. We aren't that far behind.

Weavile: (grits her teeth) Yes, we are and we need to hurry!

Chikorita: Yes! Got a taxi!

Weavile: Oh no you don't! (Shoves Chikorita down and she and Machoke enter the taxi)

Machoke: Later losers!

Chikorita: Ow! Hey!

Chespin: Chikorita! Babe are you okay? (Helps her up)

Chikorita: Yeah I'm okay. But we are gonna defeat those jerkfaced Athletes if it's the last thing we do!

Chespin: Great, now we just need to find a taxi!

Vulpix: Over here! Guys hop in!

Chespin: Sweet! Thanks a billion Vulpix!

(In a taxi)

Pachirisu: This place is just so flashy and big and well, kinda overwhelming.

Togedemaru: They call it the big apple for a reason you know.

Pachirisu: You know there is no actual Apple right?

Togedemaru: (sarcastically) Oh no! I hadn't eaten all day because I thought I would get to eat a giant apple. (Pachirisu laughs)

(At Central Park)

Pichu: Ooh look a hill!

Pichuette: (from in the carriage) Pichu what are you doing? Don't do something stupid!

Pichu: Here we go... (reaches the top of the hill and jumps in the carriage) Ready for a roller coaster ride?

Pichuette: A what? Pichu what do you- (The carriage rolls down the hill super fast) AHHHH!

Pichu: YEEAAAHHH!!! (The carriage crashes into a tree)

Pichuette: Oof.

Pichu: That was so fun let's do that again.

Pichuette: (laughs) Okay, yeah, that was kinda fun.

Pichu: Hey look! (Picks up an apple) One down two to go!

Pichuette: Alright! Go team Pichu Twins! (They high five)

(At Rockefeller Plaza)

Machoke: (gets tip) It's an either or. Skate or scurry.

Weavile: We will do perfect with Ice skating. Come on let's go.

Pachirisu: Lets skate!

Togedemaru: Seriously? Why though? You know I'll suck.

Pachirisu: You need to stop doubting yourself. I know you can do it! (Kisses him on the cheek)

Togedemaru: And suddenly I'm all for it.

Chespin: Lets scurry. Not a huge fan of ice.

Vulpix: Sandshrew what do you think? (There is no response) Sandshrew?

Sandshrew: I dunno... Ice skating isn't what guys should do so I guess scurry.

(In confessional)
Vulpix: I would like to make Sandshrew ice skate to show him he can be who he wants. Stereotypes and normalities don't matter. Be you. (Pauses) But honestly It'd be easier for me to just push him instead.
(End)

Chikorita: You sure you don't mind pushing?

Chespin: Not at milady. Now let's go! (They leave and the gamers show up)

Meowstic: Man that place was awesome. We spent so much money we can't eat for weeks but that doesn't matter when you have video games.

Shinx: So true!

(Team Confessional)
Shinx: The store was awesome! There was a giant Mario statue and tons of merch!

Meowstic: I got loads of cool Mario and Legend of Zelda stuff.

Shinx: I got awesome stuff too! My fav is this Kirby plush!
(End)

Meowstic: Get in the carriage Shinx and let's go! (He does so and Meowstic starts and is kinda struggling) Either your heavier than I thought or I'm just that weak...

Shinx: Or we bought a lot of stuff...

(On the rink)

Buizel: Hey Buneary, is Flaaffy okay?

Buneary: I-I dont know! (Starts crying and hugs Buizel)

Buizel: (Smiles and pats Buneary on the back) There, there. I'm sure everything will be just fine.

Buneary: Th-Thanks Buizel. (A Chansey brings Flaaffy out of the medical tent with a cast around her foot)

Buizel: Look here she is.

Buneary: Flaaffy! (Hugs her)

Flaaffy. Yeah. I'm gonna be okay, just have to wear this cast for while. It sucks cuz it itches and I have to use crutches to walk!

Oshawott: I'm just glad you guys are okay.

Buizel: But wait, what about the challenge?

Rhydon: (pops up) I'm sorry, but the rules clearly state once you select a challenge you cannot switch.

Flaaffy: Oh come on! That's not fair!

Rhydon: Sorry but rules are rules (leaves)

Flaaffy: Whelp, guess our race is over.

Buneary: Come on Flaaffy! Where's the pumped girl who is ready to take on everything? I know we can still do this! But only if you feel up to it.

Flaaffy: (thinks for a moment) You're right Buneary. LETS DO THIS!

Buneary: Yeah! But we'll stop if you starting feeling pain. And I've got a prefect idea on how you can skate... (motions to the walker for those who can't skate)

Buizel: Uh oh, here comes trouble. (The Athletes arrive followed by the New Friends)

Machoke: Oh this gonna be sooo easy.

Weavile: Like taking candy from a big baby.

Machoke: So Oshawott? (The Athletes laugh as Oshawott looks mad)

Oshawott: Those jerks really need to go home.

(Out on the rink, Pachirisu skates)

Togedemaru: Holy crap you're amazing!

Pachirisu: Thanks! It's more similar to gymnastics and such than you think. Now come on and join me.

Togedemaru: Alright, here I come. (Starts wobbling) Woah. Wha!

Pachirisu: Togedemaru watch out!

Togedemaru: WOAH! (Falls and slides across the rink and hits the wall) Ouch.

Pachirisu: (Rushes over) You okay? Here, we'll start slowly I guess. I shouldn't have had you rush into it.

Togedemaru: Yeah. Guess I'm okay, but my dignity won't be once this episode airs.

(In Central Park)

Vulpix: (panting) Phew. Made it.

Chepsin: (panting) Yeah. Nice one.

(In confessional)
Vulpix: I'm definitely not the most athletic person here. Running really is hard work. Phew. (Wipes forehead)
(End)

Sandshrew: So we need to find apples?

Vulpix: Yeah. So why don't you- (Sandshrew covers the top of the carriage) Hey! Rude!

Chikorita: (softly) It's okay. He's just emotional right now that's all.

Vulpix: You're right. I need to keep calm and kind. (Takes a deep breath) Well, see you around guys! (Heads off)

Chespin: Come on, lets check by the center fountain.

(Elsewhere in Central Park)

Meowstic: We're just supposed to find apples just lying around? Thats so stupid!

Shinx: Yeah, apples are so common! What's stopping us from heading to the store and buying apples?

Meowstic: Niceness I guess. Now let's see...
Ah-Ha! The top of that tree.

Shinx: I'm on it! (Tries to climb but fails)

Meowstic: Um, Shinx I could-

Shinx: No, no. I got it. (Continues failing)

Meowstic: Shinx? Shinx? SHINX!? (Shinx stops) Just let me do it. (Uses Psychic and brings down the apple) Much simpler.

Pichu: Oh hey guys! (Walks over) Oh cool you found one.

Pichuette: We're at two. Just one more to go!

Shinx: Don't you dare think about stealing ours!

Pichuette: What? Stealing? We'd never do that.

Pichu: Yeah, we're kinda mischievous at times but we're not mean or evil.

Shinx: Yeah you're right. In which case, good luck finding that last one!

Pichu: Same to you!

(In Confessional)
Meowstic: I feel like Shinx and I have become pretty good friends with the twins, especially Pichu. I mean, I have his Switch friend code and all!
(End)

(At the rink)

Buizel: Oshawott you gotta let go of the wall.

Oshawott: No! You can't make me! (Buizel pulls him off) H-hey! I'm standing!

Buizel: Now try moving like this. (Skates around)

Oshawott: Okay... (Starts skating) Like this?

Buizel: Wow! Nice! Almost better than me, but I am pretty good so of course you're not as good as me. (Oshawott smiles)

Pachirisu: (To Flaaffy) Oh no what happened to you?

Flaaffy: I fell. Bad. Really hurt my leg.

Pachirisu: Well I speak for both of us when I say I hope you get better soon

Togedemaru: Hey Pachirisu! I got the balance down let's start on the routine!

Pachirisu: Yeah let's do it!

(Team Confessional)
Pachirisu: Ice dancing with someone you love is so much more powerful and meaningful.

Togedemaru: I dont know about that nonsense but spending time with Pachirisu is what I live for.

Pachirisu: (blushes) Okay, okay. I guess that's enough. Let's get to the challenge and win this!
(End)

Machoke: Yoo hoo! Judgey person get ready to give us our tip!

Weavile: Ready? And... go! (Machoke and Weavile skate perfectly and do many jumps and spins. They end with Machoke lifting Weavile and throwing and catching her) FINISH!

Sneasel: Wow! That was truly amazing! Here take this tip! (Hands it to them)

Weavile: Yes! (Reads it) Head to the given address for your next challenge. Alright, Machoke lets go be winners!

Machoke: Bye morons. (Throws his skates and one almost hits Oshawott)

Oshawott: Gah! Gosh, my life just flashed through my eyes.

(At Central Park)

Chespin: Okay, I'm gonna dive into the fountain in three... two...

Chikorita: Um, I don't think it's as deep as you-

Chespin: One! (Jumps But slams his face on the fountain hard)

Chikorita: (winces) I tried to tell you. (Chespin comes up choking) Oh my god! Um, uh... (smacks him with her leaf and he spits out an apple)

Chespin: (gasps for air) Thank. You. (Pauses) Well at least we have an apple now.

Chikorita: Ooh I bet there's one by the playground area. (They walk over) Maybe in the slide? (Goes to check when the Pichu Twins slide out and knock her down)

Pichu: Yipee! Our third apple!

Pichuette: Oops. So sorry Chikorita. (Gets up)

Pichu: Yeah, sorry, didn't see you there, honest.

Chikorita: It's okay. I shouldn't have been standing at the bottom of the slide.

Pichuette: Hey, we actually found two apples so why don't you take one. Here you go! (Gives one to her)

Chikorita: Wow. Thanks!

Pichu: Come on sis let's get going now!

(Team Confessional)
Pichu: What happened to being strategic?

Pichuette: What? It was a nice thing to do and I'm a nice person.

Pichu: Yeah, I guess we should just do what we feel is all. Plus, being nice does feel good. Remember when we were nice and gave Uncle Raichu our cookies?
(End)

(At the rink)

Flaaffy: Buneary, I feel like I'm just holding you back.

Buneary: Flaaffy, you've been the head this entire race. Now it's my turn to stand up. We'll get through this.

Togedemaru: Ugh. Pachirisu I can barely stand.

Pachirisu: Come on Togedemaru! Do it for me, don't disappoint me.

Togedemaru: I'd be mad at you if I didn't know you were only trying to motivate me.

Buizel: Oshawott, that move was so slick! I hate to say this, but you actually are better than me.

Oshawott: Wait, seriously?

(In confessional)
Oshawott: That's the nicest thing Buizel has ever said to me.
(End)

Buizel: Hey judge! Over here! (Sneasel comes over and Buizel And Oshawott successfully do their routine) Alright! Woo hoo!

Oshawott: That actually felt pretty good! (Grabs the tip) Thank you. Now let's go! (They run off)

Togedemaru: Are you kidding me? How are they finished before us?

Pachirisu: (a little annoyed) Maybe because they had a positive attitude.

Togedemaru: Come on, don't ask for something you don't want.

Pachirisu: And what's that?

Togedemaru: My attitude to change. You think my pessimistic sarcasm is sexy (Pachirisu uses Swift on him) Ow!

(In Times Square)

Machoke: Woah. This place is Lumiose on steroids. It's so busy!

Weavile: Focus Machoke. Where is the location? (Bumps into someone) Hey!

Pichuette: Hey yourself! Watch where you're going next time okay?

Pichu: Pichuette I found the building!! Let's go!

Weavile: Ugh! After them! (The two teams walk into a building) What is this place?

Rhydon: Hello everyone!

Pichu: Hey Rhydon!

Rhydon: Welcome to... (sings) BROADWAY!!! (Cleats throat)

Machoke: God. I can't help but cringe at the awful voice!

Rhydon: Hardy har har. Just get your stupid tips.

Pichuette: (Reads tip) It says we have to perform a musical number! Fun!

Rhydon: Yep that's right. But it's a bodge or watch, so whoever didn't ride the pegasus in Ylisse must perform. Then it's a few blocks down that way to the chill zone!

Pichuette: Yes! I so got this challenge in the bag!

Machoke: Are you kidding me? I don't wanna do something so stupid like this! (Buizel and Oshawott arrive)

Buizel: Sup! (Grabs tip) Oh boy...

Oshawott: What?

Buizel: You have to perform onstage. You. Alone. On your own. In front of lots of people.

Oshawott: Um... AHHHHHH!!! (Screams and runs off)

(In confessional)
Oshawott: (rocking back and forth) Performing in front of an audience is my biggest fear...
(End)

(In confessional)
Buizel: Hmm. I wonder if Oshawott realizes thousands at home watch him on this show. (Pauses) Probably'd be best to not tell him.
(End)

(In Central Park)

Shinx: Ooh! A third Apple!

Meowstic: Nice one! Let's get going!

Chespin: Great there goes another team! We're behind! Ugh!

Chikorita: It's okay, just stay calm.

Vulpix: (walking up) I'm telling you, you don't have to pretend to be someone your not!

Sandshrew: Yes I do. Just like Kirlia, all the other Pokémon won't like me because of my interest.

Vulpix: That's not true.

Sandshrew: Oh yes it is! Fashion is a girls thing, so I cannot like it. That's that.

Chespin: Hey look! Two apples up that big statue.

Sandshrew: I got it. Climbing is something a strong guy can do.

Vulpix: (mumbles) Getting a little sexist there...

(Sandshrew and Chespin climb the statue and grab the apples)

Chespin: Awesome! Now let's hurry and go!

(At the ice rink)

Togedemaru: So just spin and... woah! (Falls) Ouch. I'm definitely gonna have some bruises after this.

Pachirisu: Get up! Come on!

Togedemaru: Babe, relax.

Pachirisu: (Angry) RELAX?! We're losing right now! Pick up the slack!

Togedemaru: Excuse me? I'm trying my hardest!

Pachirisu: That's it! (Takes a deep breath) As usual, I'm gonna have to step up. Don't worry I've got a plan. (She calls the judge over)

Togedemaru: (whispering) Uh, what are you doing?

Pachirisu: Making up for your short coming. Now just don't let go of me. (Pachirisu begins skating and brings Togedemaru with her. She takes the role of the guy and lifts Togedemaru and finishes) How was that? (Sneasel hands out the tip) YES!

(Team Confessional)
Pachirisu: Lifting him up was pretty hard, but my sheer determination gave me the strength I needed.

Togedemaru: Hey! I'm feeling pretty hurt right here! Stop making me feel like dead weight!

Pachirisu: Well look, I just don't wanna go home and I have to carry you if I want to win. Got it?

Togedemaru: (sighs) Oh I can't be angry because you're so cute when you're mad.

Pachirisu: (rolls her eyes) God. When did you become lovey dovey?
(End)

Buneary: Dang it! We're the last team here.

Flaaffy: Buneary, this dumb old walker thingy isn't even working.

Buneary: No! You have to keep it, you can't get hurt. Just... here I promise I'll think of something.

Flaaffy: Okay, whatever.

(At the Broadways stage, Pichu and Buizel poke their heads past the curtains)

Buizel: Holy shit it's packed!

Pichu: Hey! Watch your potty mouth!

Buizel: (rolls eyes) Yeah, whatever kiddo.

Pichu: (goes to Pichuette) There's a lot of people out there.

Pichuette: (breaths heavily; to herself) You're okay. No one will laugh. You are strong and can get through this.

Machoke: (To Weavile) Guess I'm up.

Weavile: Don't worry you've got this.

(In confessional)
Weavile: Yeah. He has zero chance. So I must do something to ensure our success.
(End)

(Out in the audience; Weavile walks out)

Weavile: Attention everyone, if you do not cheer for Machoke... I WILL END EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!! (The audience looks terrified and Machoke comes out and starts singing horribly but the crowd cheers)

Machoke: Yes! Yes! I am the best! (Starts flexing and exits the stage)

Rhydon: Um, what? Okay I don't know what you did but you passed so... go find the chill zone and I'll meet you there.

Pichuette: But wait, who is gonna stay here and approve us?

Rhydon: Hmm... (Walks out and comes back) Okay everyone this is Geodude. He works with the camera crew and now he'll be giving you your tips.

Geodude: Um... okay.

(Suddenly, The Gamers arrive followed by the Fashion Designers and Boyfriend and Girlfriend)

Meowstic: Are you kidding me?

Shinx: What is it?

Meowstic: I have to sing? Ugh I hate singing!

Chespin: Same. But hopefully I can do it because I'd say I'm a pretty good entertainer.

Sandshrew: Please tell me you're doing it.

Vulpix: Um...

Sandshrew: UGH!

(In confessional)
Sandshrew: Ugh you gotta be kidding! Singing in this kind of thing is almost as bad as fashion for me now! UGH!
(End)

Sandshrew: Well, guess we're done in this race. No way am I going to look like an even bigger loser. (Runs off)

Vulpix: Sandshrew wait! (Runs after him)

(Backstage)

Buizel: Oshawott, you have to go now!

Oshawott: B-But I don't want to

Buizel: Stop being a big baby and get out there! (Shoves him onstage)

Oshawott: Um. (stands there doing nothing until someone in the audience starting booing. Oshawott then runs offstage crying)

Pichu: Go Pichuette!

Pichuette: I can do it! (Sings and the audience cheers)

Pichu: Alright!

Pichuette: Yippee I did it! (They hug) Now let's get that tip.

Shinx: Go Meowstic. (He gets booed off the stage) That's okay you'll get it next time.

Chikorita: Come on Chespin! (He sings not to well but is very entertaining and the audience likes it)

Chespin: That was actually kinda fun. (Grabs tip and leaves)

(At the ice skating rink; Buneary skates and pushes Flaaffy a bit to move her)

Buneary: And a one, two, three! (Jumps and spins) How was that?

Sneasel: Hmm... Good enough I guess.

Flaaffy: Hallelujah!

Buneary: Thank you so very much! Now let's go.

Flaaffy: And how exactly? I'm gonna get nowhere with one leg.

Buneary: I bet Rhydon won't mind if we borrow a baby carriage from the scurry challenge.

(At the chill zone)

Rhydon: Athletes congrats on first. You won with skills and fairness.

Weavile: Um, what?

Rhydon: Just kidding. Your win is highly suspect but I don't care enough to look into it.

Machoke: Oh yeah baby! It feel so good to be in the top three again.

Weavile: And in first nonetheless.

Rhydon: Here comes another team... Boyfriend and Girlfriend congrats on second.

Chikorita: Alright we did it!

Machoke: In your faces weak starters cuz we won!

Chepsin: Yeah but just you wait. Good always beats evil.

(In confessional)
Chespin: I like to think it's my heroic traits and nature that leads to me always clashing with the villains. First Snivy and now these two. But I don't mind, because I like being able to stand up to these kinds of jerks. That's just the guy I am.
(End)

Rhydon: Pichu Twins in third place!

Pichuette: (jumping up and down) We did it! We did it!

Pichu: (pumps fist in air) Twins all the way!

(At the Broadway stage the New Friends arrive)

Togedemaru: We have to perform here.

Pachirisu: No problem, I'm excellent in front of audiences.

Togedemaru: And by we, I mean just me.

Pachirisu: (facepalms) Ugh! (The Contest Stars arrive)

Buneary: OMG! WE ARE ON BROADWAY!

Flaaffy: NO WAY THIS IS SO EXCITING!

Togedemaru: Ow my ears! You mind softening up a bit? (Walks off)

Buneary: Flaaffy, you have to perform. Uh oh, how are you gonna- (she stands up on one foot)

Flaaffy: This is a dream opportunity. No way am I letting a stupid broken leg get in my way. HERE I COME!

(On the stage Flaaffy sings and manages to perform like it's a contest despite only on one leg. The audience is in an uproar of cheers)

Flaaffy: YES! I did it! Did you see that? I was amazing!

Buneary: Flaaffy you are truly incredible! You're skills have no parallel.

Flaaffy: Hehe. Don't make me blush, even if it's true.

Buizel: Wow. Impressive.

Flaaffy: Thanks. Good luck guys.

Buizel: Hmm, now where is Oshawott. (Pauses) Wait is that singing I hear? (Walks into a room and hears Oshawott softly singing a sad song)

Oshawott: AH! (Hides under a chair) Please go away.

Buizel: Cous, that was actually really good. You're talented, you just need to be confident in it!

Oshawott: Really? You really mean that?

Buizel: Of course! Dude, I'm the last one to give out compliments that aren't to myself, you got to believe me.

Oshawott: (Smiles) You're right. I can do it. Time to face my fear.

(Elsewhere backstage)

Vulpix: Sandshrew! There you are!

Sandshrew: Vulpix can't you just leave me alone!

Vulpix: No I cannot. I left you alone for several legs too long already. That's not what a good friend would do. We need to talk about what's going on, you won't get better if we don't.

Sandshrew: You know already, I can't be a guy and like fashion. No one will ever like or love me.

Vulpix: That's where you're totally wrong. Sandshrew you are an AMAZING guy. You are kind, nice, thoughtful and like the best person to hang around.

Sandshrew: Yeah, but... but what about Kirlia?

Vulpix: She's a complete idiot for letting someone as awesome as you go. Trust me, it's her loss. She's nothing but a self centered bully.

Sandshrew: Th-thank you Vulpix. (Hugs her and tears up) I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you.

Vulpix: I'm lucky to be with you. Now promise me you won't pretend to be someone you're not. Because I like the real Sandshrew better then the one I was with the last few legs.

Sandshrew: Done deal. I'm so sorry for all the drama I've caused you. (Stands up proudly) I like fashion and I'm proud of it and I won't ever forget that.

(Backstage)

Pachirisu: Togedemaru you need to do this! Do it for me!

Togedemaru: Okay I'll try. (Sighs)

Pachirisu: What wrong?

Togedemaru: Nothing.

Pachirisu: Tell me.

Togedemaru: Ugh fine. I guess I kinda am a little upset with how your treating me, you're making me feel like I'm letting you down.

Pachirisu: (thinks for a moment) Am I really? Oh Togedemaru I'm sorry. I guess I must have gotten carried away. I'm just so competitive.

Togedemaru: Yeah I know and I guess we're cool then. But I think a kiss would help...

Pachirisu: Well then. (Kisses him) Now go out there and try your best.

(On the stage Oshawott comes out and just stands there again. He takes a few deep breaths and then begins singing beautifully)

Oshawott: I did it! I actually did it! I faced my fear and I beat it!

Buizel: You sure did I'm so proud of you Oshawott. Now you can perform anytime.

Oshawott: Um, no thanks. I'm content being a one hit wonder.

Buizel: (Laughs) That works too.

(Meowstic and Togedemaru both perform but fail. Then Sandshrew goes and the get lots of cheer from the audience)

Sandshrew: I totally did it girl!

Vulpix: That was fabulous! You sound great and looked great to!

Sandshrew: Thanks. Now let's get to that chill zone. (They leave)

Togedemaru: Ugh. I was a total fail.

Pachirisu: It's okay Togedemaru. Just keep trying and you'll get it.

Togedemaru: You know, I like this nice Pachirisu a lot too. (Pachirisu just laughs a little)

Pachirisu: Maybe incorporate that sarcasm to make your performance more enjoyable? Always makes me smile.

Meowstic: Ugh! Shinx what am I gonna do?

Shinx: I don't know, maybe it's the end for us. Weird because I always thought I'd be the one to make us lose.

Meowstic: Whelp, R.I.P. our huge collection of video games.

Shinx: Hey that's it! Just sing a video game song!

Meowstic: That's an awesome idea! I can't believe we didn't think of that before.

(Togedemaru performs and the audience cheers and the same thing with Meowstic)

Pachirisu: Alright you did it!

Togedemaru: Come on lets go!

Meowstic: Hurry Shinx, we can't be done yet!

(At the chill zone)

Pichuette: I'm nervous. I feel bad because everyone left in this race is cool.

Chespin: Yeah except Weavile and Machoke.

Rhydon: Ah here we go. Contest Stars in fourth.

Buneary: Yes!

(Team Confessional)
Flaaffy: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. No broken leg is a gonna keep me from winning this race.

Buneary: Yeah! The two of us are in it to win it!
(End)

Rhydon: Cousins in fifth place! Fashion Designers in sixth.

Vulpix: Yes!

Oshawott: Yeah! We made it!

Rhydon: That leaves only two teams left. The Gamers and New Friends.

Pichu: Oh no! I don't want either of them to go home.

Rhydon: Well, here they come now...

Pachirisu: Hurry! Hurry!

Meowstic: Time for a power-up! We can't go home!

Rhydon: Who's gonna make it?

(A team crosses)

Rhydon: ITS THE GAMERS!!!

Meowstic: Phew.

Shinx: Looks like we still got some continues left.

Togedemaru: No! We were so close! I'm sorry it's all my fault.

Pachirisu: It's okay. I guess winning isn't everything. (Pauses) Wait who am I? Did I really just say that?

Togedemaru: I know how much it means to you so I'm sorry.

Pachirisu: Don't be. This race is still a win in my book because we got to realize our feelings for each other and all.

Shinx: I'm sorry we had to beat you guys.

Pachirisu: Its a race, don't be. And good luck to you and Meowstic. Same for you Pichu and Pichuette.

Rhydon: Whelp, you guys were a pretty interesting team. Thanks for being a part of the race. Now I guess it's goodbye so... goodbye.

(New Friends Elimination Montage)

Pachirisu: I may not have won the gold, but I got something even better. Togedemaru.

Togedemaru: Pfft. Nah you don't really mean that.

Pachirisu: No, honestly I do. Sure you can be a sarcastic pain in the ass but you can also be the sweetest and most loyal guy ever.

Togedemaru: Well thank you then. Anyway, I really enjoyed this race an awful lot.

Pachirisu: Yeah, it was eventful for sure. I almost died on a frozen mountain and in a blaze of lava... but I'm still standing.

Togedemaru: Yeah you are. We also got to do many other awesome things I wouldn't trade for the world.

Pachirisu: So... now that the race is over what do we do now?

Togedemaru: Hmm, you know I think I heard a certain rodent mentioning help for a new season of-

(End Montage)

Rhydon: That does it for this episode of... the Rhydonculous Race!
