Racers Unite!

Gracie started out on Route 801 with her Deerling, Prongs, by her side. The pair had lost their very first race. They hadn't even placed as a matter of fact. They were a little bummed about it. Gracie patted her Pokemon on the head. "It's alright though Prongs," she said. "Next time, we'll get it for sure. After all, it was only our first time doing anything together. Once we get more in sync, things will be better, you'll see," she said.

Gracie looked around for other Pokemon as she walked. She was hoping to find a coaching race partner. She also wanted to level Prongs up and train with him some. After all, when he evolved, they would have a much easier time racing. Prongs looked up at her and nodded at her encouragement, though he wasn't really feeling it. Gracie noticed her Pokemon's disappointment and sighed.

"Come on Prongs, at least we weren't dead last," she said helpfully. Prongs just shook his head and Gracie sighed again. Hopefully, winning a few battles would cheer him up.

As they went down Route 801, Hunter looked down at his Chikorita with a small smile. She was certainly happy to have won her first race, especially with such a late start, and had somehow managed to get the medal they'd won onto the leaf on her head. Any attempts to remove it just made her angry and she tended to lash out when anyone besides Hunter came near. "Enjoy it Chikorita. That's just going to be the first of many," Hunter said cheerfully as his Pokemon walked along cheerfully. Hearing a voice up ahead of them, and a familiar one at that, Chikorita bounded ahead of Hunter, eager to show off her prize to anyone who would look.
