The heroes are in the middle of three-way battle.
Jake: Fake Out.
Ludicolo dashes over with the Dark move, it knocks Golem back.
Gordie: Steelix, Dig.
Zane: Tremor.
The shock wave does extra damage, with Steelix being underground.
Jessie: Use Energy Ball.
The ball of energy has to take some time to charge because they are in a cave.
Jake: Hydro Pump.
Jessie: Fire.
The ball and the blast hit both Pokemon, they both take damage.
Just then, Steelix comes out, hitting Venusaur.
Gordie: Use Rollout, Golem.
Golem curls up and rolls into Whimsicott. Then it rolls in place, spinning.
Jake: Use Rain Dance.
It rains. Ludicolo's Rain Dish activates.
Zane: Use Bullet Seed.
The seeds hit Steelix.
Gordie: Use Rock Blast, Rhyhorn. On Whimsicott.
Whimsicott gets hit by three spherical rocks.
Then Golem rolls towards Venusaur.
Zane: Sit down.
Venusaur sits, causing Golem to roll right over Venusaur, into the air.
Zane: Use Bullet Seed.
Jake: Scald.
Jessie: Energy Ball.
The moves all explode on Golem. Golem faints.
Jake: I figured Golem had Sturdy, so I had Ludicolo use Fake Out to negate that.
Gordie: Steelix, Flash Cannon on Whimsicott. Rhyhorn, Tremor.
Zane: Tremor.
Jessie: Protect.
The shock waves cause there to be a massive wind to be blown through the cave.
Whimsicott blocks Flash Cannon.
Jake: Use Zen Headbutt. On Steelix
Focusing psychic energy into its head, Ludicolo hits Steelix.
Jessie: Use Dazzling Gleam.
Zane and Jake: Close your eyes!
The light flashes quickly, sending an extremely bright light everywhere, blinding the opponent Pokemon.
Gordie: Smart Strike, Rhyhorn.
Glowing with a Steel horn, Rhyhorn hits with the move, jabbing Whimsicott, knocking it out.
Jessie: Fairy isn't good against Steel.
Zane: Mega Evolve and Use Giga Drain.
Jake: Use Hydro Pump.
By focusing on Steelix, and using Zane's Mega Evolution, they are able to knock it out.
Zane: Use Double Edge on Rhyhorn.
Jake: Use Energy Ball.
After Venusaur hits Rhyhorn, the ball of energy hits.
Gordie: Earthquake.
An earthquake is triggered. The ground breaks and lifts under the two Pokemon doing extreme damage.
Gordie: Release.
The ground stabilizes and the ground goes back to normal. Ludicolo stays standing by gaining health with Rain Dish.
Zane: Finish with Giga Drain.
Venusaur knocks out Rhyhorn.
Venusaur level 37. Energy Ball for Bullet Seed. Breloom level 29. Brick Break for Mach Punch. Pikachu level 31. Starmie level 33.
Gordie gave Zane and his friends 2,500 Pokedollars.
They continue and at the end they get out of the cave into Tauros Town. Named for its Tauros
It's full of Tauros. They carry people, run, and are gathered in herds.
Zane: I'd like a Tauros.
In this town, there isn't a Gym. Just a Weekly Tauros race. Today is the day of the Race.
Jessie: We could go for the race.
Jake: I will.
They all sign up for the race.
Later...
The race begins an hour later. Zane has healed his Pokemon and rides a Tauros to the race.
The contestants all have to wear helmets and masks. They are doing a race around the town. 3 laps.
They all get on their Tauros. Zane's has a golden tooth.
There is a wide track. There are about 15 people.
Commentator: Go, Tauros, Go!
Zane's Tauros charges in with speed.
Commentator: Pokemon are allowed for the obstacles.
They keep going down a corner. He is going fast, but is still in 3rd place. He looks behind him and sees sand flying behind him.
He sees that Jake is right behind him, and he leans in to pick up speed.
They are closing in on the first corner. Zane is falling behind, with Jake now in front of him, and Jessie in front.
They turn the corner and because of the angle that they are turning, the sand that the Tauros are kicking up creates a cloud. Zane finally realizes why they need masks.
Around the corner is a line of trees on the sides of the track. Both sides. In the trees are Beedrills, Butterfrees, and Ninjasks.
Zane: Raichu, Discharge.
Raichu stands on a branch of a tree and uses Discharge. Most of the Ninjasks and Butterfrees faint, being weak to Electric.
The Ninjasks use Fury Cutter. They slash Zane's Tauros. Then again, but now stronger as they aim for the same spot.
Zane scans his Tauros with his Pokedex. It has Iron Head, Wild Charge, Double Edge, Horn Attack, and Flame Charge.
Zane: Use Wild Charge.
Crackling with electricity, Tauros charges through, electrocuting any Pokemon that made contact with it.
They get past. Zane is now in 1st.
They are closing in on the second curve. This time, Zane sees a weird metal conveyor, or some sort of treadmill.
Commentator: You have to get past this conveyor that is trying to pull you back.
Zane: Use Double Edge.
On the conveyor, Tauros charges. He pushes through, and gets close to the end, but is pulled back. Jake and Jessie get ahead of him.
Zane: Faster.
Tauros charges through, speeding past Jake, and then outdoing Jessie, leaving clouds of dust in its wake.
It went down the track, gaining speed, and speeding past the next obstacle, the Blockades. It had blocks that were supposed to be obstacles.
Zane's Tauros step sided everything, still going extremely fast, despite having to slow down. It ran through, so fast that Zane almost fell off.
Zane: Too fast, Tauros!
Then it ran towards the final obstacle, the Dipping Danger. They went down the ramp and into a place full of Raticate and Pidgeots. They all attacked.
Zane: Wild Charge.
Tauros fried them all. He ran through, avoiding every obstacle. More Pokemon appeared. The Pidgeots couldn't touch it, and the Raticate couldn't bite it without getting knocked out.
The end was near. Then Brelooms came out of hatches.
Zane: Flame Charge.
Burning through, Tauros charged past, burning the Breloom's Super effectively.
It went up the ramp, and burst through the ribbon.
Zane won the race. He got 3,000 Pokedollars. He got HM Rock Climb for winning. He was also allowed to catch his Tauros. He caught it. Level 27. He gave it Rock Climb.
Later...
Jake: No fair.
Zane: I got a pretty fast Tauros.
Zane released it. He rode the Tauros. They went into Route 13. This time it started with a wall again.
Zane: Get on. It's much bigger and faster than a Sylveon.
They Rock Climbed to the top and went down into the opening of the forest Route.
The first trainer challenged Zane.
Dylan: Bouffalant, go.
Zane: Tauros, go.
The Journey Continues...
