July 15th: [1] | [1] Prompt Response: How do I overcome this? Well...I don't. I'm smashed by the rocks and tangled in the branches, laying helpless while annoyed beedrills buzz over my head. My pokemon looks on in dismay... oh dear. heart
July 16th: [7] | [3] Prompt Response: Oh, a field! Wheee~ My Pokemon and I frolic through, leaping joyfully and barely even touching the ground- clearly avoiding any and all holes.

July 13th: [8] | [1] Prompt Response: Stumbling and splashing, Umbreon and I manage to make it across, but we're soaked and behind many of the others! We'll have to work hard to catch up!
July 14th: [3] | [1] Prompt Response: Nearly falling off the ledge wasn't in the plans, yet none the less it happened and the shock of the near death experience held things up considerably before we were able to continue.
July 15th: [11] | [1] Prompt Response: This race was really taking it's toll and honestly it's a miracle we haven't been killed yet, but now there's this. I thought this was our time to shine and get ahead when I tripped over a root and went sprawling. This was then followed by rocks being thrown at us. I suspect these clothes will be in tatters by the end of this.
July 16th: [20] | [3] Prompt Response: Just when we'd begun to give up hope of any good luck, a reprieve! Finally something doable! It was laughably simple after the previous obstacles, and we had hope we might at last be able to make up the distance!

July 14th: [2] | [1] Prompt Response: Ok serperior. This time, you go ahead first. You're nice and thin. I hold onto the end of serperior's tail, hoping that if I start slipping, he'll be able to keep us up... OH NO! I'M SLIPPING!!
July 15th: [1] | [1] Prompt Response: All right, serperior. That wasn't fun, but it's smooth sailing ahead. No more rocks, just... bees? No, don't attract their attention. ARGH. NOT THE BEEDRILLS!
July 16th: [16] | [3] Prompt Response: Ahhh, finally just a nice open field. I think this calls for potions and lemonades all around, right serperior? I wonder what lives in that hole... Probably not important!

July 13th: [18] | [3] Prompt Response: Although water was not one of my Rapidash's favorite things to be around she gave a hard whiny, lowered her glorious head and ran like the wind. Her hooves made a steady beat against the rocks and she glided from rock to rock without missing a beat in her steps. The wind felt good against my face and I leaned down closer to her mane and closed my eyes for a moment to just feel the sensations and all of a sudden she stopped. I popped open my eyes to see that she had crossed all the rocks effortlessly and looked around to see that a few others unfortunately did not make it. Realizing I could not help I nudged her on to the next obstacle in this course.
July 14th: [2] | [1] Prompt Response: Rapidash running at full speed, her hooves pounding loudly against the dirt and grass whinnying occassionally as if she was enjoying the exercise and wind slowed just a fraction as we hit the mountain. Reining her in to gauge the narrow ledge that came into view, Rapidash danced a bit backwards, her back hoof caught the side of the ledge and we tumbled backwards. Rapidash's hoof was hurt a bit so we rested for a while knowing we should be able to catch up.
July 15th: [11 | [1] Prompt Response: After resting a bit Rapidash wanted to continue on, giving her a slight rein she took off like a bolt of lightning although she slowed a fraction she kept up her usual pace. Hearing the screeching, I looked around cautiously but took my eyes off what was in front of me. Rapidash gave me a whiny but it was to late, a low hanging branch which smacked me right in the face knocking me off Rapidash and falling on my large rump. Letting out a loud "OOMPH" I ended up on my back and could not help it started to giggle. Rapidash pranced about me as if checking on me.
July 16th: [9] | [3] Prompt Response: Rapidash had fully recovered from her hoof being sore from the ledge a few obstacles ago, now coming out of the forest to a grass covered field she was in her element. Head down she put on a burst of speed and took off across the field as if flying. She whinnied happily as she ran, almost keeping in time with her hoofbeats.

July 13th: [18] | [3] Prompt Response: The race had just begun and already we were facing a rather intimidating challenge. I knew my swimming abilities were more than top-notch, but the small Growlithe that was running along side me was a much bigger problem. He was newly hatched, not even battle-tested yet, and I didn't want his first obstacle to discourage him. A sharp whistle called Growlithe to me, and without breaking stride I scooped him up. He gave a delighted yip as we hopped from stone to stone, carefully but quickly making our way across. Once we reached the last stone I set Growlithe down to let him hop to shore, giving him that sense of at least completing the task a little bit. He seemed quite pleased with himself and off we went, eager and excited for the next challenge.
July 14th: [18] | [3] Prompt Response: After making it through the first obstacle, we arrived at a very narrow ledge. I glanced over the side and felt a bit dizzy looking down the steep embankment to the bottom. It was a long way but probably survivable if one of us fell...probably. It would just be a long way to somersault down the steep face of the hill. Growlithe stayed at my heels as we carefully moved single file. I hugged the natural wall of the hill as Growlithe pitter-pattered along behind me, not a care in the world. Once again we made it through and continued on, both of us giving a whoop (or a yip) in delight as we went on.
July 15th: [10] | [1] Prompt Response: So far, so good! Growlithe and I headed down the trail that eventually led into a dense forest, almost thick enough to completely blot out the sun. It was nice to run in the shade for a change...up until a rather ominous sound behind us caught my attention. A few other racers were catching up, but it was because they were high-tailing it away from a swarm of very angry Beedrill! A few rocks began to rain from above as well and I quickly grabbed Growlithe to find some cover. There were a lot of low-hanging branches in the area that made escape difficult, but we found a little hollowed-out tree to seek shelter in while the angry Pokemon went by. We emerged when it was quiet again, but I knew we had lost some ground.
July 16th: [3] | [1] Prompt Response: After emerging from the woods, it looked like Growlithe and I had a pretty good shot at catching up. That is, until I took a tumble in a little ditch, rolling my ankle slightly. Growlithe was at my side in an instant, his warm tongue lapping at my cheek to encourage me to get up and keep going. After a moment of rest I got up and we pressed on, albeit a bit slower than before.
July 17th: [6] | [1] Prompt Response: Well, this had certainly ended rather poorly! Limping along, I couldn't help but notice a few...enthusiastic racers using some rather undesirable tactics to get ahead. Rather than risk Growlithe suffering an injury - or gaining another myself - we hung back a bit despite the risk of possibly losing. Better safe than sorry!

July 13th: [20] | [3] Prompt Response: Hesitating only for a minute at the side of the stream we take one look at each other and know there's nothing to do but go for it. We hop quickly from stone to stone and find ourselves on the otherside without incident. On to the next!
July 14th: [12] | [1] Prompt Response: A narrow ledge, at least we aren't afraid of heights, normally. We carefully slide along the edge but it's too narrow and my foot slips nearly sending me over the side. Luckily I'm able to regain balance and keep my partner safe. We make it to the other side but the fumble cost us time. Have to hurry!
July 15th: [12] | [1] Prompt Response: Still behind from the near fall on the narrow pathway this is hardly a welcoming site. We try to move as carefully and quickly as possible but disaster strikes and trying to avoid a spearow end up directly in the path of a beedrill. We both hit the deck and feel a few stones bounce off us obviously for good measure. It takes a few minutes before we can regain our feet and get back on course. We're going to need some good luck if we're going to catch up!
July 16th: [17] | [3] Prompt Response: Finally a chance to catch up! We take off across the field as fast as our legs can carry us. We've got a lot of ground to cover if we want to catch up with the leaders! Luckily we avoid any diglet or dugtrio holes and make up the ground we'd lost due to the prior obstacles.

July 13th: 8 | 1 Prompt Response: Pushing on my partner I raced to the edge of the river. Hesitating for a moment, my partner not being good around water, I urged them forward gently. Stone by stone they jumped carefully, more like a frog than something graceful. But in the end we made it across even if only barely.
July 14th: 17 | 3 Prompt Response: "Rhyhorn now is your time to shine!" I call out to the huffing rock Pokemon. It grunts as it uses its heavy body to keep it weighed down. My partner lived in these types on conditions. I knew to trust it. Slowly but surely we were gaining ground. No pun intended.
July 15th: 17 | 1 Prompt Response: Rhyhorn made its trek towards some large trees. We had pulled ahead but not by much. The buzzing of Beedrill drowned out the stomping of the determined Pokemon I was currently trying to steer past some of the low hanging branches. Rhyhorn grunted turning a bit sharply causing me to fall from my saddle. As I hung to its side, I heard the stingers hit its rocky hide. As I attempted to gain my seating again the Beedrill went for the person behind us. Rhyhorn was panting a little but being a rock Pokemon protected it from the bees.
July 16th: 8 | 3 Prompt Response: This was more like it. A large grassy expanse unfolded before my Rhyhorn. The more sleek Pokemon to our sides were in for a shock. Rhyhorn's thundering footsteps became rhythmic, getting faster and faster. A Pidove popped up a little too late, Rhyhorn barreling it over like it was nothing. My partner was focused. Nothing could stop a Rhyhorn determined to outrun its opponents. Not even the poor Pidove we left stunned behind us.
July 17th: 7 | 1 Prompt Response: Rhyhorn was tired. I could feel that I pushed it too hard in the field. Someone ahead attempted to kick dirt in its eyes, but being stubborn it kept going. Flames almost burned us as a Ponyta flared past. "Come on Rhyhorn, let's finish this," I whispered to it. Rhyhorn rumbled and we crossed the finish line full of hope we still did good.

July 13th: [17] | [2] Prompt Response:
So this was it, the start of the greatest race of all. We were ready. We'd trained for this. Jolteon tensed underneath me and I gently ruffled his neck ruff before the echoing bang of the starting gun took us both by surprise. However it was a momentarily lapse. Soon we found ourselves in the middle of the leading pack. As we came to the first obstacle I noted that some of my fellow racers weren't having luck on the stepping stones. "Let's show them how it's done Jolti."
Jolteon began leaping from stone to stone, sure-footed and swift. It was the last stone that almost proved our undoing. Jolti's foot slipped on the wet rock but he fought to stay on and surely enough with one more well-timed jump we were across the water and on the way once more. "We got this my friend, let's show them."
July 14th: [6] | [1] Prompt Response:
So we weren't in the lead anymore but being somewhere in the middle was fine with me. As long as nothing bad befell Jolteon and I we would be alright. It was a bit later that we came to the next obstacle. There was a narrow rock ledge, very narrow. One misstep and it would certainly spell doom for either of us. I started forward but Jolteon grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and tugged insistently on it. He was actually pulling me backwards. "Jolti, cut it out. We won't win the race if you hold me back," when the tugging resumed I turned around to really start scolding my pokemon when an ominous cracking sound was heard. It was with shock on my face that I realized Jolti had just saved my life. Kneeling down I hugged him fiercely. "Alright, this way seems too dangerous, is there another path we can take?"
It took us a while but we managed to find an alternate route. But the question remained, how much ground did we lose in the process?
July 15th: [9] | [1] Prompt Response:
What could have been better than a nice quiet stroll through a forest? Well peace and quiet that would have been nice. Jolteon and I had stumbled into an all-out aerial battle and we were taking some serious damage. Beedrill and Spearow were the enemy combatants. Covering my head and doing the best to keep the way clear I grew frustrated. "Jolti, give 'em a thundershock. That'll show them who's boss."
Jolteon complied. Once the way was seemingly clear we got the heck out of dodge just in case reinforcements were on the way. We needed to make up some ground and catch up with the others.
July 16th: [7] | [3] Prompt Response:
Finally, out of the forest Jolteon and I stumbled across a peaceful meadow. It would have been tempting to sit back and relax but we had ground to make up. It wouldn't do to take things too cautiously and so with a bit of a rueful smile I glanced down at Jolti and gave a soft sigh. "It's time to make up some of the ground we lost, are you ready for a good sprint?"
It was perhaps the rash thing to do. Instead of trying to catch our second wind Jolti and I began to sprint towards the direction that the finish line lay in. We both knew that to linger would mean losing the race and that was just not acceptable. The ground was solid under our feet as we ran for all we were worth. We'd make this a close race ... yes we would.
July 17th: [2] | [1] Prompt Response: It was quite a sad way to finish the race. Jolteon and I had caught up to the leading pack of racers and got caught in an all out battle of trickery. I swear I saw another trainer's pokemon deliberately kick out to catch Jolteon in the side. With a sharp yelp Jolti backed away from the pack. It was perhaps the safest move to take but it meant that for one-hundred percent certainty we were not going to finish first. As we crossed the finish line Jolteon gave me a quizzical glance and I merely ruffled his fur between his ears. "It's okay Jolti, you did your absolute best. This year just wasn't ours for the taking. Maybe we'll just be just that bit better next year."

July 13th: [20] | [3] Prompt Response: The start of the race and the excitement was high. With so many around it was easy to get lost in that excitement. Even my Ponyta was nearly bouncing off her hooves. With gentle patting and whispers she settled. With the start of the race, Ponyta raced forward towards the stepping stones. Being a sure footed pokemon, ponyta raced across the stones with little problem. Taking flight towards the next obstacle in the path a head.
July 14th: [17] | [3] Prompt Response: That thin ledge, as sure footed as Ponyta was, I didn't want to risk one false step. Leading the pokemon over the obstacle, it was clear sailing once on the other side.
July 15th: [10] | [1] Prompt Response: Things were going great! Well, that is when a rock stuck me against the head. Looking back while rubbing the spot, there were many angry pokemon chasing us. Well that was perfect, two easy goes, our luck had to fall short somewhere, right? Right.
July 16th: [7] | [3] Prompt Response: With much Bruising and welts from the stinging pokemon, ponyta broke free from the forest and into the grassy area. Picking the way carefully, Ponyta was able to avoid holes and other traps that would have injured her. Only one thing left and it was ahead!
July 17th: [2] | [1] Prompt Response: Welp, there was the finish and there was a brawl! Really? Shaking my head, I tried stirring Ponyta out of harms way, but we weren't as lucky as I had hoped. The brawl was all over the place and it was hard to know where it would go next. As quickly as possible, I got her through, but we both were scratched up. Our pace a bit slower then before as Ponyta gained a small limp, but never did she think to stop or quite.

July 13th: 10 | 1 Prompt Response: With careful steps, I try to make my way across the stones. My faithful Pokemon that will fit there ride upon my shoulders which... Really doesn't help balance, does it?
This proves a huge problem as I stumble on the rocks and fall in the water.
July 14th: 12 | 1 Prompt Response: It's about this point I realize it might be prudent to put my partner in their ball. There's no way I could possibly squeeze on this ledge with them on my shoulder! And I don't want them to try and make that on their own, either! So I draw their ball to try and get them back in.
They refuse, settling more firmly on my shoulder. Once again this proves unbalancing and I soon find myself falling. Again. Ouch.
July 15th: 16 | 1 Prompt Response: Already bruised and battered and wet from the previous two obstacles, regardless of outcome, when I see the Spearow and Beedrill, I weep and start running as best I can. Hey, I fell, I'm sore, that's not some very good running at the best of times! Today is no better than yesterday and more bruises and aches join the previous day's.
July 16th: 5 | 3 Prompt Response: A field... An open field... It looks so promising! But there's caution to be had, right? Anything could be out there! I approach with caution born mostly from bad experience after bad experience. Blessedly nothing happens. I pause near the edge of the field to simply collapse in unrestrained joy that I didn't add to my bruises and simply lay in the grass for a moment because dang it feels nice to not trip on something.
July 17th: 2 | 1 Prompt Response: The end is near! I can see the finish line! But I can also see some less-than-stellar people using less-than-stellar tactics to try and win, and that sense of dread returns. I start the final, limping dash for the finish line. The sense of dread is accurate, as I suffer even more pain and come in... Somewhere in the middle placement. I think my hair might be on fire....

July 13th: [18] | [3] Prompt Response: Although water was not one of my Rapidash's favorite things to be around she gave a hard whiny, lowered her glorious head and ran like the wind. Her hooves made a steady beat against the rocks and she glided from rock to rock without missing a beat in her steps. The wind felt good against my face and I leaned down closer to her mane and closed my eyes for a moment to just feel the sensations and all of a sudden she stopped. I popped open my eyes to see that she had crossed all the rocks effortlessly and looked around to see that a few others unfortunately did not make it. Realizing I could not help I nudged her on to the next obstacle in this course.
July 14th: [2] | [1] Prompt Response: Rapidash running at full speed, her hooves pounding loudly against the dirt and grass whinnying occassionally as if she was enjoying the exercise and wind slowed just a fraction as we hit the mountain. Reining her in to gauge the narrow ledge that came into view, Rapidash danced a bit backwards, her back hoof caught the side of the ledge and we tumbled backwards. Rapidash's hoof was hurt a bit so we rested for a while knowing we should be able to catch up.
July 15th: [11 | [1] Prompt Response: After resting a bit Rapidash wanted to continue on, giving her a slight rein she took off like a bolt of lightning although she slowed a fraction she kept up her usual pace. Hearing the screeching, I looked around cautiously but took my eyes off what was in front of me. Rapidash gave me a whiny but it was to late, a low hanging branch which smacked me right in the face knocking me off Rapidash and falling on my large rump. Letting out a loud "OOMPH" I ended up on my back and could not help it started to giggle. Rapidash pranced about me as if checking on me.
July 16th: [9] | [3] Prompt Response: Rapidash had fully recovered from her hoof being sore from the ledge a few obstacles ago, now coming out of the forest to a grass covered field she was in her element. Head down she put on a burst of speed and took off across the field as if flying. She whinnied happily as she ran, almost keeping in time with her hoofbeats.
July 17th: [12] | [3] Prompt Response: Knowing we were nearing the end of the obstacle course, Rapidash put on a burst of speed and took off. Laughing like a school girl I gave her the reins and let her go. The main group was in front of us and it was a nightmare. Other racers were using "dirty tricks" to cause other racers to fall behind and it was not nice. Weaving in and out of the pack, Rapidash found a hole and rushed through like a streak of lightning. Catching sight of the finish line, we crossed it much to our happiness and relief.
