Swimming Race [RACE OVER]

[Lilbabe808]

Leela was glad it had calmed down. But now she really wanted it to move. She looked off to the side and noticed the psyduck almost taunting them. Her face wrinkled with frustration. To be honest, she had never ridden any pokemon before.

The chasing pokemon were as interesting as the ones fleeing, form a photographer's standpoint. Shaun tried to snap pictures of both, though he was pretty sure they would all come out blurry. These were not ideal picture conditions.

Meredith noticed the other racers trying to capture the pokemon. He let out a loud 'Bui' and put on a burst of speed to try and catch up. He was hoping to help the Psyduck as it seemed to be struggling, almost as if it had forgotten why it was swimming so quickly.

Now was the time to use her brain. Gently, she tried nudging it with her knees. Okay, wasn't working. Then she tapping on the water in the direction she wanted it to go. It worked except they were going far too fast for her liking!

Sasha dove into the water. Her sights were set on the Magicarp that was to be one of the prizes. Sue, her ever faithful Ratata was watching from the sidelines offer chatters of encouragement. She was excited to gain a new playmate herself. Hopefully they would earn their right to raise the seemingly insignificant fish.

Meredith ended up going too fast and swam right past the racing pokemon. He dove down and turned around. Popping back up to the surface he looked around trying to find a pokemon to help.

They zoomed right past the damned psyduck. Leela was sure that it was definitely taunting her. So she pulled back on the fin to slow down her rental. It worked, they were now going at a speed comfortable for her.

Was that the Magikarp just ahead of them? It seemed so close! Shaun tried to reach for it and snap a picture both at the same time, which nearly unbalanced him.  

[Bluedemonwolf]

Spotting the Psyduck again, Meredith swam for it. He called out to it in hopes that it would hear him and stop. Maybe then he could help it escape this race and those trainers.  

[Lilbabe808]

Now that she figured how to control this rental, they had to find one of the pokemon in the race. Leela looked this way and that. Finally spotting them in the complete opposite direction, she turned them around and headed that way.  

[Butterfly Kika]

The Magicarp was a lot faster than she expected. She would really need to push herself to swim in order to catch up to it. At least it seemed she had passed the two pokemon she was not interested in. Now she could just focus her attention on the brilliant red scales with golden stripes.  

[mewrose]

Photos were great, but Shaun was here for a reason. If he wanted to get anything, he had to put the camera down. So he let it drop to check on the pokemon they were chasing and get a better idea of where they all were.  

[Lilbabe808]

They came awfully close to the magikarp. Though it seemed her rental was more inclined to trying to eat it. Leela gave chase, hoping to come out with a pokemon from this.  

[Bluedemonwolf]

Meredith saw the Psyduck slow a little and he had been so close. Calling out some more he hoped that this time the Psyduck would listen.  

[mewrose]

It didn't look like anything was caught yet. But on the other hand, Shaun's pokemon wasn't having much luck catching up. Maybe taking a more active role in guiding his pokemon might be better, after all. He let the camera drop as he leaned closer to his pokemon.
