Rhydon: Last time on the Rhydonculous Race, the remaining eight teams payed a visit to New York. There was ice skating, singing and some extremely important events went down. Sandshrew revealed he was acting different because he was afraid being a guy that likes fashion. However Vulpix finally managed to get through to him and he realized to be true to himself. Also, Oshawott grabbed a fistful of courage and was able to overcome his fear of performing in front of an audience, keeping he and Buizel in the race. Also, a twisted turn of events resulted in Flaaffy breaking a leg but with her determination and Buneary's support they made it through. Oh yeah also the Athletes won but no one cares about them. Sadly, in the end, it was New Friends turned couple Pachirisu and Togedemaru that were eliminated. Anywho, I wonder who will be eliminated today? One way to find out! It's time for... The Rhydonculous Race! (Heavily smiles and winks at the camera)

(Theme song)

Rhydon: I'm at NYC's chill zone and Athletes Weavile and Machoke are about to get the first tip.

Weavile: Get it Machoke! Time to win another leg.

Machoke: Oh yeah! Let's get this party started! (Grabs the tip) Head to the airport and get seats on the next place to Peru. Huh. What the heck is Peru?  

(Elsewhere)

Rhydon: Peru. It's a country in South America that is know for the luscious Amazon rainforest! It's also home to Machu Picchu and some neat tribal ruins. All three places will be seen today.

(At the airport)

Pichu: I'm so excited!

Pichuette: Me too! I still can't believe there is a place named after us!

Pichu: Yeah! We are so cool that people had to name the place Machu Pichu!

Meowstic: Um, you realize the place has nothing to do with you right?

Pichuette: What? No it's Machu Pichu. It's named after us!

Pichu: Yeah! And for that sole reason it's my new favorite place.

(Team Confessional)
Meowstic: Guess there's nothing to really be done. Just kids being kids I guess. No harm in them being happy.

Shinx: Hey I wonder if there's a place called Shinx!
(End)

Machoke: Ugh! Where's the damn plane?

Weavile: It must be late! I HATE late!

Quagsire: Now boarding flight three eight four to Peru!

Machoke: That's us! Now come on!

(On the plane)

Chespin: Eww. Is this gum on my seat?

Chikorita: Gross. Let's sit somewhere else.

Chespin: Dammit. All the seats are full. (Slowly cleans the gum off) There we go.

Chikorita: I can't wait to see what Peru is like! And I know a lot about rainforests, my sister Bayleaf wrote an essay all about them.

Chespin: (rolls eyes) Whatever.

Chikorita: Look, Chespin I get you have family issues but that doesn't mean you can make fun of mine.

Chespin: Excuse me? I wasn't! I just don't care about them is all.

Chikorita: Take that back Chespin! (Chespin gets up to go to the bathroom)

(In confessional)
Chikorita: I've been doing good with letting go of the issue but it's actually becoming a problem. I'm not about to let him just disrespect my family like that. I care about Chespin and he should be able to just tell me his problem.
(End)

Vulpix: Sandshrew look at this magazine! I had this explorer hat on my eye for you for the longest time.

Sandshrew: OMG that is so incredible! I want that!

Vulpix: I knew you would. So I already ordered it for you.

Sandshrew: For real? (Vulpix nods) You are so awesome!

(In confessional)
Sandshrew: I'm glad to have my confidence back. It's all thanks to Vulpix for making me realize I'm great just the way I am. Now that I'm back in business we are totally gonna win this race!
(End)

Buneary: Mind if I go talk to Buizel?

Flaaffy: Not at all, go ahead. (Buneary gets up and trades seats with Oshawott) Sup.

Oshawott: Um, hello. (Shyly waves)

Flaaffy: I know I'm loud but you don't have to be afraid of me.

Oshawott: Sorry. (Pauses) So how are you? Is your leg feeling any better?

(Across the lane)

Buizel: You were awesome coaching Flaaffy through everything. You're really one of the kindest people ever.

Buneary: Thanks. And I saw you helping out Oshawott. You're actually nice too. Er, wait that came out wrong.

Buizel: I knew what you meant. (Pauses) So, wanna compliment me on my skating skills? I'm awesome you know.

Buneary: (Laughs a little) Yeah, you're good. But not as good as Flaaffy or I. (Laughs again)

Buizel: (smirks) Oh yeah, well I guess we'll have to settle that once this race is over! (Puts his arm around her)

Buneary: (Laughs again and blushes) Yeah I guess we will.

(Elsewhere)

Rhydon: (to the camera) Looks like the teams have long hours and hours of flight time, but thanks to the power of editing they are landing now!

(Outside the airport)

Weavile: Taxi! Taxi? Where the heck are the taxis.

Shinx: That's weird I don't see any.

Pichu: Hey look there's a bus! (Walks up) Excuse me are you going to the rainforest? (The driver turns around)

Koffing: Yes I am maggots. Now climb on it.

Pichuette: Koffing! You're a driver in Peru now?

Pichu: Yeah, it's weird, but cool.

Koffing: In my stupid contract, now get in! (The seven teams board) Time to floor it!

Shinx: Woah! It's soo bumpy.

Meowstic: Be careful Shinx, hang on to your- (The car hits a bump and Shinx's DS flies in the air)

Shinx: NOOO! (The DS shatters on the ground and Shinx tears up)

Meowstic: Shinx? Buddy are you okay? (Shinx loudly bursts out in tears) Oh no. Shinx. I'm here for you. (Hugs him)

(Team Confessional)
Shinx: (crying) All my data gone forever! (Cries more) I hate my life so much! Why did it happen to me? WHY LIFE WHY!?!?

Meowstic: (pats him) Shinx trust me it'll be okay.
(End)

(Meowstic cleans up the remains of Shinx's DS)

Pichu: Oh no poor Shinx.

Pichuette: Its just a dumb video game right?

Pichu: (shakes his head no) Nuh-Uh. Knowing Shinx he put bajillions of hours into his games and now he just lost all his save data.

Pichuette: Oh no. Everything? And video games are his favorite, that's like me losing all my dollies. (Frowns) Let's go over and help him feel better. (She and Pichu run over to comfort Shinx)

Koffing: Alright everyone, out of the stupid bus, the Rhydon Box is just over there.

Vulpix: Got the tip! (Looks at it) It says we must grab a map and navigate through the amazon rainforest until we reach the Incan ruins.

Sandshrew: Man I wish I had my explorers cap now.

Vulpix: L-o-l, nice Sandshrew. Now let's go!

Rhydon: (to the camera) All the teams enter the rainforest but who will make it out alive? It better be all of them or we'll be getting sued but you have to watch to find out.

(In the rainforest)

Buneary: (pushing Flaaffy in a wheelchair) Ew! There are so many bugs I hate it!

Flaaffy: Its whatever. Just keep pushing.

Buneary: (rolls eyes) Um, yes ma'am.

Buizel: Hey, there's four of us so that's an advantage.

Flaaffy: Oh, I forgot you guys were here.

Buizel: (narrows eyes) Thanks.

Oshawott: So we just follow this path straight until we get there. Sounds simple enough.

Buizel: Better look up for a sec cous. (Oshawott looks up to see a raging river)

Oshawott: Oh boy...

(Team Confessional)
Buizel: I know what your saying there at home! Oh Buizel, you're so strong and you're a water type! Yeah, that true but waters that rough could sweep me away and then leave Buneary and Flaaffy stuck!

Oshawott: Plus there were some scary piranhas.

Buizel: That too.
(End)

(Elsewhere in the rainforest)

Shinx: (sobbing) I just c-can't believe it b-broke!

Meowstic: Shinx it's okay. But now we got to focus on the race! (Shinx hits Meowstic) Hey!

Shinx: Always thinking about the race, never thinking of my feelings! Classic Meowstic! (Runs off)

Meowstic: Hey! Wait! (Runs after him)

(In confessional
Meowstic: He should know I do care about him. A lot. A lot a lot. But if I can't get happy go lucky Shinx back the race will be over for us, and I know he doesn't want that to happen either.
(End)

(Elsewhere in the rainforest)

Weavile: Faster Machoke! Run faster! 

Machoke: Okay sheesh! We just need to be careful because we might- (Falls in a pit) AGH!

Weavile: (gasps) Oh my gosh! Machoke! (Runs over) Are you okay?

Machoke: Yeah. But I can't get out. (Gets on his knees) Please don't leave me here. I'll do whatever you want.

Weavile: (rolls eyes) Oh come on I'm not really that mean. I'd never leave you to die Machoke you know that. (Looks around) Hang on, I'm gonna find something to pull you out.

(Back at the river)

Flaaffy: Guys what are we gonna do?

Buizel: Hang on sec. We could- no that wouldn't work. Maybe- No.

Oshawott: I've got an idea. Maybe we could build a raft.

Flaaffy: And how exactly would that help?

Oshawott: The river curves around in a sense and will take us right by the Incan ruins.

Buneary: Awesome idea Oshawott.

Buizel: Yeah but how will we make a raft?

Buneary: Leave to me. My uncle Bibarrel taught me a thing or two about woodworking.

(Elsewhere in the rainforest; Chespin and Chikorita walk in silence)

Chespin: So...

Chikorita: Just stop it. (Walks to a gorge) Ugh. Great.

Chepsin: Ugh! (Punches a tree in anger) Ow ow my hand! (Suddenly the Pichu Twins run up)

Pichu: Fudge nuggets! A cliff!

Pichuette: What are we gonna do? (Notices Chespin and Chikorita are there) Oh, hey guys didn't see you there.

Chespin: Ugh. Hi.

Pichu: Sheesh. Someone's grumpy today.

Pichuette: I think they might have a had a fight with each other.

Pichu: Okay, whatever you guys are fighting about how about you stop and let's work together to cross this gorgeymahugit or whatever.

Chikorita: Okay.

Pichuette: Hmm, what to do.

Chikorita: Hey, I've got it. Maybe we can swing across those vines.

Pichu: Great idea! Let's do it! (The four swing across) YAHOO!!! (Suddenly Chespin's vine snaps)

Chespin: AHHHH

Chikorita: Oh no! Chespin! (Lets go and falls down after him. They both land in a river) Oh my gosh are you okay?

Chespin: Yeah Im fine but are you? You just jumped after me! We could have both been dead!

Chikorita: Well I saw you fall and I wanted what ever happened to happen to both of us.

Chespin: You are crazy you know that? But crazy in a good way. Now come on, we're gonna have to climb back up.

(On the river, the Cousins and Contest Stars float on a raft)

Flaaffy: Oh yeah! This is awesome!

Oshawott: I mean it would be, if I wasn't so terrified!

Buizel: Wow Buneary you really know your way with wood.

Buneary: (blushes and laughs) Thanks Buizel. I mean, it is just wood though.

Flaaffy: So... we've got a while before we make it to the ruins. Anyone know any games?

Buneary: How about truth or dare?

Flaaffy: Now that's my kind of game!

Oshawott: Um, I don't know...

Buizel: Oh come on Oshawott! I promise we won't do anything really mean to you. We're all friends here.

Oshawott: (softly sighs) Fine.

(Elsewhere in the forest)

Vulpix: This place sure is humid.

Sandshrew: You can say that again. (Fans himself)

Vulpix: Ugh. I really hope my fur doesn't start to frizz. That'd be a disaster.

Sandshrew: Hey let me see that map again. (Vulpix gives it to him) Thanks. (Looks at it) Well it looks like we're going the right way.

Vulpix: Oh no. Sandshrew? Do you see that?

Sandshrew: See what? (Sees a swarm of Beedrill coming towards them) Oh my god run!

(Team Confessional)
Vulpix: I'm so sick of Beedrill. They are probably the most hated Pokémon out of all of them hands down.

Sandshrew: Yeah. Its so weird how all Beedrill are just evil and want to sting others. You think they'd stop acting so savage and like wild animals.
(End)

(Somewhere else)

Machoke: (To himself) It's okay. You're not gonna die down here. Weavile will be back. (Sees her) Weavile!

Weavile: Yeah, yeah I'm back. (Throws down a vine) Now grab on.

Machoke: You're the best! (Shes pulls him out) Yeah! You're pretty strong to you know that.

Weavile: Ha. Obviously. (Pauses) But I'm strong enough, you're super strong. That's why I need you around.

Machoke: Hehe. You know it. (There is awkward silence)

Weavile: Lets just get going.

(At the ruins)

Pichu: Hey look! It's the ruins! We made it!

Pichuette: Yippee! And it looks like we're in first.

Pichu: I'll get the tip! (Grabs it) It's an all in, native dress up.

Pichuette: Yay! I love love love playing dress up!

Rhydon: (to the camera) In this challenge, teams will use the materials provided to create Incan outfits kinda like these ones (motions to two outfits behind them) Then, they will be approved by ancient historian Archen.

Archen: Yep. I know exactly what the things would look like.

Rhydon: Yeah, yeah they get the picture.

Pichu: Woah. Those outfits look super duper complicated and hard.

Pichuette: Oh come on. That's hard but dodging lava is not? Come on Pichu we can so totally do this.

Rhydon: As the Pichu Twins get cracking on their outfits, it seems some of the other teams aren't too far behind them.

(Back in the forest, on the river)

Buizel: Okay Buneary, truth or dare.

Buneary: Um...

Flaaffy: I swear if you pick truth again I will kill you.

Buneary: Fine dare.

Buizel: (smirks) Kiss me. (Buneary rolls her eyes) What?

Buneary: You say you're so popular but yet your so desperate for me huh? (Buizel nods) Fine then (They kiss each other)

Flaaffy: Okay, dares done. (They continue kissing) Wow. Guess it's not just a dare anymore.

(In confessional)
Buneary: (sighs) The kiss was magnificent. Guess Buizel has payed his dues by now and I think he does truly like me, so why not?
(End)

(In confessional)
Buizel: YES! (Pumps fist in the air) Best kiss of my entire life. The wait for her to accept me again was so worth it!
(End)

Oshawott: Guys look! The ruins are over there!

Buizel: Awesome! (The four hop off an grab tips)

Oshawott: We've got to make these Incan outfits. Cool.

Flaaffy: Yeah lets get to it. (Hops on one leg to a station)

Buneary: Rest if you need too okay? Don't push it.

Pichu: Hey guys!

Pichuette: Yeah, hi! (The teams wave to each other as the Athletes arrive)

Weavile: Come on Machoke lets get straight to work!

Machoke: Don't have to tell me twice.

(Team Confessional)
Machoke: The problem is my hands are kinda big. Okay, like really big. It's gonna be a challenge to get small delicate detail right.

Weavile: But that's where I kick in. And I'm so fast and precise I'm sure despite Machoke being useless I'll get it all done!

Machoke: (narrows eyes) Hey! Rude!
(End)

Vulpix: Yes! We finally made it!

Sandshrew; Oh my gosh Vulpix it's a fashion challenge! (They squeal and jump together)

Vulpix: No way! That's amazing!

Sandshrew: (nods) It says we have to create two Incan outfits.

Vulpix: Easy as pie. Now let's get going. These are going to be the most stylish Incan outfits this world has ever seen! (Boyfriend and Girlfriend arrive along with the Gamers)

Chikorita: Okay, we need to make outfits.

Chespin: You make your own and I'll make my own.

Chikorita: (to herself) Even after I jumped in a lake you're still angry with me. Ugh! I should be the one angry at you. And I am a little.

Meowstic: Designing outfits? I'm no good at this.

Shinx: Know who would be good?

Meowstic: Um, who?

Shinx: MY DS! (Runs off crying)

Meowstic: What? That doesn't make any sense. (Yelling) Shinx wait up! Come on we can do this!

Rhydon: (to the camera) With all the teams at the ruins creating their native outfits, it seems like it's a close race! But who will get done first?

(At the Pichu Twins station)

Pichu: Hey sis pass the glue. I need to add these beads.

Pichuette: Okay, here you go. (Gives it to him)

Pichu: Thanks! (Tries to squeeze but it won't work) Ugh! It's jammed! Stupid glue. Here, look. (Points it at Pichuette and it works and glue is shot at her) Oops. (Starts laughing)

(In confessional)
Pichu: It was a total accident, but come on! How am I not supposed to laugh?! It was sooo funny!
(End)

Pichuette: Gah! I'm covered in glue! (Looks angry) So that's how you wanna play it huh? (Grabs the glue and squirts Pichu) There. Now it's even.

Pichu; Hey no its not! You did yours on purpose you- (Jumps at her and they start fighting)

Machoke: Yikes. Just look at the mess they're making.

Weavile: Yep. That's why a couple of kids could never win this race.

Machoke: Alright, back to our own work.

(At the Contest Stars station)

Buneary: Alright, how do you think this looks? (Holds up an outfit)

Fkaaffy: That actually looks pretty good. Nice one.

Buneary: Thanks, but the beads are so delicate, I need to be careful so it doesn't- (trips and all the beads fall off and the outfit gets dirty) get ruined...

Flaaffy: You know what, it's okay, lets just start again.

(At the Fashion Designers station)

Chikorita: So I feel like I can't even trust him.

Vulpix: Uh huh.

Chikorita: And then, Chespin goes on to-

Vulpix: Chikorita do you mind if we do this some other time?  We're BOTH kinda in the middle of huge race, nows not the time for talking.

Chikorita: Yeah your right. Bye then. (Chikorita leaves)

Sandshrew: Looks at my outfit! It is so styling! (Holds up a perfect replica outfit)

Vulpix: That's amazing! Take a look at... (quickly adds some finishing touches) Mine! (Holds it up)

Sandshrew: That is just stunning! It's like you stole the original, that's how good it looks!

Vulpix: Really? Thanks. I mean, of course we're pros, this is kinda our thing. (They laugh together)

Sandshrew: Lets go show the judge.

Archen: Wow, these are remarkable. Carbon copies of the original. Excellent job you guys, here's the final tip.

Sandshrew: It says to head to Machu Picchu and find the chill zone.

Vulpix: Lets go! Team Fashion Designers all the way! (They leave)

Oshawott: Wow. They were really fast.

Buizel: Pfft. It's clothing, anyone can do it. You just take the needle and- OW!

Oshawott: Oh no! You poked yourself, are you okay?

Buizel: (holding back emotions from the pain) Its, it's fine. No big deal. Ow. Doesn't hurt a bit.

(Back at the Pichu's station)

Pichuette: Agh! There's glue everywhere.

Pichu: I'm sorry about this.

Pichuette: Same. I shouldn't have retaliated. (Pauses) Ow. Hey! Get your foot off my face.

Pichu: Uh oh... It's kinda glued there. (Pauses) Um, lets try to stand up. (They try several times but keep falling) Woah! Oof!

Pichuette: This is quite the mess we're in. (Pauses) Wait I got it, water gets rid of glue so let's just roll into that lake.

Pichu: Worth a shot. (They begin to do so)

Oshawott: Oh no guys stop! There are piranhas in there! (They get in the water, get bit and jump out separately)

(Team Confessional)
Pichuette: On the plus side, no more glue and no more being stuck together.

Pichu: On the negative side, piranha bites. And they really hurt. Owie.
(End)

Chikorita: I'm halfway done mine Chespin. (Chespin ignores) Okay are you really still ignoring me?

Chespin: Ugh! Yes I am. You're a perfect girlfriend but I just don't get why you have to be so pushy on this stupid subject! Why can't you just let it go?

Chikorita: Let it go? How can I let it go when you leave me to expect worst! I'm worried about you!

Chespin: Worried? Please, you just care about getting to pry into other peoples secrets.

Chikorita: (gasps) I cant believe you said that! Maybe we aren't perfect for each other. After all, I can't even trust you anymore.

(In confessional)
Chepsin: Ugh! I can't believe Chikorita having to dig into my past! Can't she just let it go? It's an emotional topic. If she had an emotional thing she was hiding from me I would... (Pauses and thinks) Oh my god. I would... I would want to know what it is so I could help her. (Freaks Out) IM SO TERRIBLE! WHAT HAVE I DONE!?
(End)

Meowstic: Sweet! Shinx I think I'm done, what about you? (Looks to see Shinx has done nothing) Shinx!?

Shinx: Look I'm, sorry I just can't think of anything else.

Meowstic: The race! And we've come so far!

Shinx: But no money can replace save data.

Meowstic: Yeah I know, if only it was a DS then... (his jaw drops)

Shinx: What? Seriously, what is it?

Meowstic: Dude. The D.S. saves on the cartridge, not the console.

Shinx: Wha-

Meowstic: It saves-

Shinx: (Smiles) OMG YOU'RE RIGHT! IM STILL OKAY! YES! (Jumps up and down several times before stopping) Oh no, now I feel awful. I've completely screwed us, but most importantly you have to suffer because my mistakes.

Meowstic: Its okay, it's all in the past. Now let's get your design done.

Weavile: Come on Machoke! Are you done yet?

Machoke: Just about... okay there it's finished okay? (Archen approves) Yes!

Weavile: First place here we come!

Machoke: Those Fashion Designers wont know what hit them. Or should I say who hit them. (They both laugh)

Pichu: Yes! All finished.

Archen: Hmm. Kinda gluey... (The Pichu Twins look nervous) but other than that they are pretty nice! You pass!

Pichu: Alright we did it!

Pichuette: Even when we fight, we can still get through things. (Gets tip) Oh yay! We get to go to our place!

Pichu: That's awesome! Think Machu Picchu will have a giant Pichu statue of us?

Pichuette: What are you stupid? (Pauses) Of course it will!

(Back at the stations)

Buizel: Hey cous, mind helping me out with this last bit.

Oshawott: Sure thing Buizel. (Finishes it up) All done.

Buizel: Nice work. I knew you'd come in handy (Laughs a little) Hey Buneary are you almost done.

Buneary: I'm finished. Flaaffy?

Flaaffy: Mines all done as well!

Buneary: Great I'll go get the judge. (The judge comes over)

Oshawott: So these are mine and Buizel's

Archen: Excellent. (Gives them a tip)

Buneary: Here's mine.

Flaaffy: And mine.

Archen: (Points At Flaaffy's) What is that? That looks nothing like Incan attire!

Flaaffy: What? Yeah too it does!

Archen: The pattern is all wrong, the beads are completely missing and the color is way too bright! (Flaaffy looks very angry)

Buneary: Calm down Flaaffy, we'll fix it.

Flaaffy: (sighs) Alright.

Buizel: Well, good luck then guys. You got this. See you at the chill zone.

Oshawott: Bye!

(At Machu Picchu; waking along a path)

Sandshrew: This place is actually quite big. Bigger than I had expected.

Vulpix: Yeah. Hey, I wonder what Machu Picchu even is.

Sandshrew: I think I read it was some sort of estate for an emperor or something along those lines.

Vulpix: Huh. Interesting. (Pauses) Hey look, we're almost at the summit! (Runs Up) Sweet! Get a picture of me up here for the blog.

Sandshrew: I'm on it!

Rhydon: Yoo-hoo! Over here! Chill zone anybody?

Sandshrew: One sec. (Takes a picture) All good! (They cross the chill zone)

Rhydon: Fashion Designers, first place!

Vulpix: Yes! Sandshrew we did it!

Sandshrew: Woo hoo! Yeah!

(At the Incan ruins)

Chikorita: Here's my stupid thing. And there's his stupid thing.

Archen: I wouldn't call them stupid, they're pretty good.

Chikorita: (sighs) Whatever. Tip please. (Grabs it) Thank you.

Chespin: Hey Chikorita wait and just let me say something-

Chikorita: Look, I think we've hurt each other enough for one day. Let's take some time to ourselves before we completely break this relationship. (Runs off)

Chespin: Hey wait up! I need to tell you this now! (Chases after her)

Buneary: Here Flaaffy, let me help you.

Flaaffy: Hey! Isn't this supposed to me mine?

Buneary: Yeah, but don't you want to win? (Flaaffy nods and Buneary finishes it) There.

Flaaffy: Yo fossil guy! Can we get some tips? (He approves) Awesome!

Meowstic: I made this one. And Shinx made that one. Are they okay? (Archen hands them a tip) Thanks!

Shinx: Come on let's go!!!

(On the path to Machu Picchu; the Cousins run neck a neck with the Athletes)

Buizel: Come on Oshawott! Push it!

Oshawott: I'm pushing it Buizel! (Runs as fast as he can)

Weavile: Machoke? Why don't we deal with these losers.

Machoke: Of course. (Uses Dynamic Punch on Buizel) Hehehe.

Buizel: AHHHH! (Hits his head against a rock)

Weavile: And we didn't forget about you Oshawott. (Night Slashes him into Buizel) SUCKERS! (Heads off)

Oshawott: Ow. My head.

Buizel: Same here. Come on, we can't let them beat us. (Pauses) Ugh! But now they're way ahead!

Oshawott: Um... Buizel what's that? (Points at a tunnel) You think it leads to the top?

Buizel: Only one way to find out! Let's go!

(Elsewhere on the path to Macchu Pichu; Buneary pushes Flaaffy in the wheelchair huffing and puffing out of breath)

Flaaffy: Come on Buneary! You need to go faster!

Buneary: Sorry. I. Am. Trying. (Takes a big breath) My best, okay?

Flaaffy: Its just, I don't want this race to be over.

Buneary: Well neither do I! But pushing you is hard work! (The Gamers pass them) Huh?

Shinx: Yes! We passed them!

Meowstic: Yeah. Maybe this won't be game over for us after all!

Shinx: I'd hate for our race to end over my dumb DS panic.

Meowstic: Don't worry.

Buneary: (Yelling) YOUR NOT BEATING ME!!! (Catches up to them)

Shinx: Oh my god how? She's so determined!

Flaaffy: Yeah! Go Buneary!

(At the chill zone)

Sandshrew: So, who do you want to go home?

Vulpix: You're joking right? The Athletes. Everyone hates the Atheltes.

Rhydon: Are we talking about the Athletes? God I can't stand them! I wish they'd leave.

Pichu: We made it! (Runs to the chill zone)

Rhydon: Pichu Twins in second place! Nice job!

Pichuette: Hey! What gives? Where's our statue?

Rhydon: Um, statue?

Pichu: Yeah! It's Machu PICHU! It's a place about us?

Rhydon: (playing along) Oh yeah, that statue is out for repairs.

Pichuette: Aw, bummer. I really wanted to see it! But I guess that makes sense.

(In the tunnel)

Oshawott: Its kinda cramped in here. What if this doesn't take us to the top?

Buizel: Then were screwed. But let's not think like that because-

Oshawott: Look! There's daylight! (Runs ahead)

Buizel: Hey wait up! (They reach the chill zone)
Awesome!

Rhydon: Cousins take third! And here come the Athletes in fourth!

Weavile: Are you kidding me? How did the Cousins pull ahead of us? They must have cheated!

Buizel: Oh shut it Weavile. Salty much?

Machoke: Ugh! You think your better but just you watch we're gonna win the whole race!

Rhydon: (to the camera) And with that only three teams are left out there. (Shows Boyfriend and Girlfriend, the Contest Stars and the Gamers) Who is going to make it in time and is going to come in last?

(On the pathway)

Chespin: Chikorita please hear me out.

Chikorita: No. I told you I don't wanna hear it!

Chepsin: But just... ugh... (stops running) YOU WERE RIGHT!

Chikorita: (stops) Huh? Right? Right about what?

Chespin: Right about everything. I should tell you what's going on because you care about me. I was wrong to try and hide stuff from you. And I shouldn't have said I didn't care about your family when the issues were with my own.

Chikorita: As much as I love hearing I'm right, I shouldn't have pushed you so far.

Chespin: You didn't even do anything though. I would snap just at the very mention of your family because it made me think of mine and that was uncool of me to do.

Chikorita: I'm still sorry though, but you are right you should be able to tell me when you are ready to tell me.

Chespin: And I think I am ready.

Chikorita: Chespin I promise whatever it is I'll be understanding of it.

Chespin: (Takes a deep breath) Okay look, the reason I get upset whenever you mention family is because... I don't have one.

Chikorita: Wh-What!?

Chespin: (tearing up) My parents I guess didn't want me and put me in an orphanage. But... nobody would adopt me there either. I grew up there until this very old couple took me in. Mr and Ms. Vivillon. And I said they were old... so one day, Mr. Vivillon passed away and then Ms. Vivillon followed soon after. (Takes a deep breath) So I would get upset whenever you mention family because I was adopted so I didn't have a true family and the closest thing too that is gone...

Chikroita: (crying) Oh Chepsin! (Hugs him tightly) Im sorry! I'm so so sorry! I had no idea about any of this and I feel awful.

Chespin: Its okay. Its just, I always seem to wonder what it would be like to have my actual family.

Chikorita: (sobbing) IM SO SORRY!

Chespin: Its okay. It's not your fault and I've learned to live with all this. I just don't like telling people because it's sad and I don't want to be treated differently because of it. (Chikorita just stands there speechless) I'm sorry I know it's a lot to take in and all.

Chikorita: I... I understand. But thank you for telling me Chespin. And I don't view you any differently.

Chespin: And another reason I was so scared to tell you was because you sounded so excited to meet my family... I didn't want to disappoint you.

Chikorita: Chespin... I would never be mad at you for something like that. I care about you.

Chespin: Thanks. (Pauses) OH MY GOD THE RACE!

Chikorita: Gah! Hurry!

(At the chill zone)

Rhydon: Gamers in fifth place!

Shinx: Thank goodness we are safe!

Meowstic: I know. We are still in this.

Rhydon: Yes, yes you are... for now. (Laughs) I'm just playing.

Vulpix: Chikorita and Chespin better hurry.

Buizel: Oh no! Buneary isn't here. She's just gotta make it!

Rhydon: Look! I think I see Buneary coming!

Buneary: Yes! Almost there!

Flaaffy: Come on, you can do it!

Rhydon: But Chespin and Chikorita are gaining on them! This is so close!

Chikorita: Run! Faster!

Buneary: Oh no! (Starts pushing faster) I don't know if I can do it.

Flaaffy: You can. Just keep trying!

Chespin: Just keep running! (Passes Buneary)

Buneary: Oh no!

Chikorita: Almost made it! (Crosses the Chill Zone) Yes!

Rhydon: Boyfriend and Girlfriend take sixth place! You guys are safe! (They cheer and hug)

(Team Confessional)
Chespin: I am so happy. Not just because we're safe in the race, but our relationship is safe too.

Chikorita: And I just wanna be able to say that no matter where you came from and such I will always love you for who you are Chespin. (They kiss)
(End)

(Buneary pushes Flaaffy across the Chill Zone before collapsing)

Flaaffy: Ugh. Last place.

Rhydon: I'm afraid so.

Buneary: I'm so so sorry for letting you down Flaaffy.

Flaaffy: What? You didn't let me down. Heck, it's my fault here. I'm the one who broke her leg and forced you into this situation.

Buneary: Yeah, but I still feel a little at fault.

Flaaffy: I mean, I'm a little sad to have to leave but it was awesome when it lasted.

Rhydon: Um hello? I never said you were going home.

Flaaffy: (Smiles) It's a non elimination?

Rhydon: Nope. But you should have waited for me to say you're eliminated first. (Flaaffy glares at him) You're eliminated.

Buizel: (Runs over) Oh no! This can't seriously be happening!

Buneary: Well, guess it is.

Oshawott: I'll really miss you guys.

Flaaffy: Thanks Oshawott.

Buneary: Goodbye Buizel. (Kisses him) Let's keep in touch okay?

(Contest Stars Elimination Montage)

Buneary: I can say with full confidence that I had fun doing this race and it was a positive experience.

Flaaffy: Same here girl. We had so much fun doing wicked stuff like sliding through syrup, looting a haunted house, fighting zombies...

Buneary: Fun!? That stuff was scary!!

Flaaffy: Eh. To each their own.

Buneary: We may have had our struggles but we overcame them.

Flaaffy: Yeah like that whole drama with Buizel and Oricorio. I'm glad that worked out for you in the end.

Buneary: Thanks. Though maybe it isn't win dating Buizel. (They laugh) I'm kidding of course. Anyways, now it's time to head back to what we do best. Contests!

Flaaffy: (sigh) I hope my leg heals so I can get back into them.

Buneary: (frowns) Oh no that's right. (Smiles) But wait that gives me an idea for a performance on wheels.

Flaaffy: (Smiles) Seriously? I definitely need to hear about that!

(End Montage)

Rhydon: That does it for today. With six teams left we're getting close to the end! So who's gonna go all the way? Only one way to find out! Stay tuned for more Rhydonculous Race!
