Previously on The Amazing Race Pokémon...

Nine teams raced from the Super Mario Galaxy Universe to Outer Space, in search of their next destination, Wafer Zone.

Several teams got lost.

"What do you mean that we've been going to the opposite direction!?" the surprised Ralph said.

"Where the hell is it!?" asked Steve.

"I have no idea where we're going," said Maria.

Some teams met up with misfortunes.

A scene of Maria watching desperately in fear was shown.

"Ice cold outside, but it's overheating within," Mark said.

"Are you sure they're coming back?" said Charles.

"TOWED AWAY!?" said both Mark and Steve in unison.

Most teams think they're in last place.

"I just hope we're not in last place right now," Charles said.

"Let's just hope that we're not in last place right now. We can still think positively, right?"

"I hope we're not in last place right now," said Cindy.

And with the blind yield in play... Which team will be eliminated?

Vic & Jenna: Married

"There's a picture on the yield board."

"Oh come on!"

"It's..."

"It's?"

"Why Bill & Charles? Who yielded them?"

"It's blind alright."

"We shouldn't really care, we're heading to the pit stop anyway."

The two kept walking to the same direction.

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

Still inside their saucer...

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Barry kept repeating while trying to wake his partner up.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

The area has countless lakes. The atmosphere is less foggier here compared to the atmosphere on other areas. The lakes are colorful and flavored. Some lakes look gooey, others look foggy. Every lake looks different from one another.

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Which flavor?" asked Annie.

"I'm going to the eucalyptus one," Baron replied.

"I'm going to the honey-flavored lake," Annie said.

The chef brought the first dish to Annie first.

"What the!? What the heck is that?" Annie asked.

"It's Glowed Knycke Pudding," said the chef.

"What's a Knycke by the way?"

"It's a slug found under the lakes."

"Oh my! Are you kidding me!?"

He smirked.

"Oh my Arceus! Oh my Arceus!"

The chef just left the dish beside her.

"Oh my Arceus! I had to eat that!?"

"Let's get going," said Maria.

"I hope we're not last," Henry said.

-Outer Space-

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"Appreciate the effort man!" Charles said.

"Thank you very much!" Bill said.

The small masked swords knight left the scene after delivering the fuel to them.

"Let's get going," said Charles.

"I hope it's not over yet," Bill said.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

Still inside their saucer...

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" Barry kept repeating while trying to wake his partner up. His partner wouldn't wake up no matter what he did.

-Waffotem Bay-

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

"I'm a bad archer," Cindy said.

Raffy was seen using a bow and arrow. He shot the arrow into the air and it missed the pillar by a hair.

"Ooh!" Ralph said.

"What's that doing here?" Diana asked, noticing the flying saucer above them.

Nadine & Archer: Dating

"We can catch up to them," Archer said.

"One team member must row the boat while the other must destroy a pillar from a range by using bow and arrows," Nadine read. "We'll make it."

-Ghostly Galaxy-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"Why did they tow our spaceship away?" wondered Steve.

"Because it was blocking the way to the mansion," regretted Mark softly.

"How do they tow away a flying saucer?" wondered Steve.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Annie, eat up!" said Baron in a loud voice from afar.

"It's so gross!" replied Annie.

"Just imagine you're eating gummy bear."

"But I can't! It's too gross."

"We'll have to go home this way."

"No, let's just switch."

"We get to relax here, and we won't get to there."

"But the food's just gross."

"Well, we're not switching. I'm lazy and exhausted to move my a** off this lake."

"But we can't complete it without me eating it."

"That's why you have to take a bite, at least once."

-Wafer Outskirts-

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

Still inside their saucer...

"WAKE UP! WAKE – Oh I give up," Barry said.

Barry dragged Sam out of the saucer by pulling Sam's tail.

"The yield's already used," Barry said. "And since it's blind, I assume that they will mistakenly think it's us."

Barry went to the cluebox and opened the lid. A clue jumped out of the cluebox and it landed after hitting the sleeping Sam. Sam is still asleep. Barry picked up the clue and opened the envelope.

Barry & Sam; Currently in 6th

He read the clue which said, "Make your way to Waffotem Bay and search for your next clue."

Barry realized right away that the clue didn't state which transportation they should take, so he put Sam back to the saucer and he operated it once more.

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

Nadine & Archer: Dating

"Archer is being the archer, while Nadine is being the boat-rower," Nadine said to the camera.

"It's a corny inception," Archer said.

Meanwhile on another side...

"I already used all twenty arrows, and I can't get any onto the pillar," Cindy said.

"I got two," Raffy said. "But it doesn't look like it's about to collapse."

"We have to go back and restock some arrows."

"We can only bring ten per out-of-stock moment."

-Outer Space-

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"I can assure you that we're not making any wrong turns or getting lost," Bill told Charles.

"So are we almost there?" asked Charles.

"We're almost, almost there."

"Two almosts?"

"Yeah, almost almost there. Get it?"

"Almost almost there?"

"We're near 'almost' there. That's what almost, almost there means."

Henry & Maria: Dating

"I am a hundred and fifty percent positive that we're not getting any lost right now," Maria said.

"Doesn't matter, all I hope is that we survive past this leg by some unexpected miracle," Henry said.

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

Vic & Jenna: Married

"Making our way to the pit stop on foot is hard after all," Vic said.

"Who said it's not?" Jenna reacted.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Don't mess it up!" shouted Baron from afar.

Annie shut her eyes and bit the pudding.

"It's so sweet," Annie said.

She took another bite.

"This is real good! You should try it!" shouted Annie from afar.

The chef delivered the pudding to Baron.

-Waffotem Bay-

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

Nadine & Archer: Dating

"Are you serious, dude?" said Ralph.

"I can't really get any, so sorry dude," Raffy said.

"I can't even get a single one onto the totem," Cindy said.

"You can do it, dear, you can do it!" cheered Diana.

Other side: They decided to switch places. Nadine has already struck the pillar five times.

"Five already! What's wrong with the pillar?" said Nadine.

"You just need to be patient," Archer advised.

-somewhere in the void skies of Wafer Zone-

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

"The fog is extremely thick," Barry complained.

Sam is still asleep.

"My sleep powder sure is very heavy," Barry said.

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

Vic & Jenna: Married

"The fog is very thick now," Vic said.

"There aren't any pillars either," Jenna said.

"I think this will lead us to another dimension."

"We have to switch directions now."

"Or we'll get ourselves eternally lost."

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"That's one great Lake Knycke Snack!" Baron said. "I want another one!"

The chef came back to Baron with another Knycke delicacy.

"What could this be?" Baron said.

"Ten Knyckes' Salad," the chef said.

"Looks salad-ish to me I suppose," said Baron.

-Outer Space – Wormhole Hub-

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"Finally we're here!" Charles said.

Henry & Maria: Dating

"Let's get things done quickly once we get there," Maria said.

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

Nadine & Archer: Dating

"Eleven, and twelve!" Nadine said.

The pillar finally came down after twelve hits.

"FINALLY!" said Nadine.

They retrieved the clue. Archer rowed the boat back to the shore.

"I'm suppose to be the archer, Archer... but now I'm just a boyfriend of an archer," Archer said.

"Also corny," Nadine said.

Nadine & Archer; Currently in 3rd

She ripped open the envelope and read the clue.

She read, "Detour, Tee Break or Lake Knycke Snack?"

"Lake Knycke I guess," Archer said.

"No wait, we need to dip into the pool."

"Then we have to do Tee Break."

"Then let's go with Tee Break."

"Okay, Tee Break it is."

Other side...

"Finally! One arrow onto the pillar," Cindy said.

"I have six already," Raffy said. "It's not as easy as it looks."

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

The chef came to Annie with half the salad left.

"So colorful!" she said. "Looks like gummy this time."

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

Vic & Jenna: Married

"It's not so foggy anymore," Jenna said.

"I hope we know where we're going," Vic said.

"We don't have a map, and we haven't seen any locals besides the fast forward clue giver."

"I know. There's got to be a way to the pit stop."

"And we have to find it... soon!"

-Wafer Lowlands-

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

Barry parked the saucer after getting a foggy mind while operating the flying saucer.

"I see the race flag," Barry said.

He dragged Sam out once more.

"Fast forward taken!?" said Barry. "This is not where we're suppose to go."

Barry asked the fast forward clue giver for directions.

"Thank you," Barry said.

-Wafer Outskirts-

? & ?

"I see the yield!"

"And it's already used!"

"We better hurry! It might be our faces."

The two went out with their stuff.

"Oh no!"

"What?"

"Lemme get something inside the saucer."

? & ?

"There's another team!"

"YESSS!"

other saucer...

"I left my..."

other team...

"I see the yield board!"

"I hope it's not our faces."

While the two ran to the yield board, the other team tried catching up to them.

"D*r* it! Who yielded us?" said Charles.

"I don't know," said Bill.

"I hate those hypocrites!" Charles said.

"We would've yielded the team behind us if the board was still blank," said Bill in a post-leg interview.

"Who else would do this to us?" said Charles.

"Anybody else that thinks we're a big threat," said Bill.

The other team came.

"Oh ho ho," said Maria.

"We got lucky someone yielded them," Henry said.

"Now we have some extra time ahead of them."

"Thank you whoever yielded them."

Maria opened the cluebox lid and a clue flew out from the cluebox. Henry caught it, ripped its envelope, and read it.

Henry & Maria; Currently in 7th

Henry read, "Make your way to Waffotem Bay and search for your next clue."

The two ran off to a random direction.

"We saw the fast forward clue but decided not to attempt it," said Maria in a post-leg interview.

Bill & Charles – yielded

"We have a big time disadvantage," Bill said.

"We just hope they get lost right away," Charles added.

-Waffotem Bay-

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

"Almost," Raffy said.

"Restock again, dude!?" Ralph said.

"I'm doing a bit fine," said Cindy.

"You just have three after five restocks," her mom said.

Both teams went back to shore to restock.

-Ghostly Galaxy-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"What now?" asked Mark.

"We lost all our other belongings," said Steve.

"We should take a cab and take a penalty, we have no other choice."

"We really don't have any other choice."

Mark approached a ghostly citizen to call for a space cab.

"We might as well be eliminated at the end of the leg," said Mark.

"We already know our fate before we get to the next pit stop," said Steve.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Your third and final snack, Fried Knyckes on a Stick," said the chef.

"This has to be weirdly sweet by taste," Annie said.

-Wafer Zone Golf Club-

The atmosphere is just as foggy as the rest of Wafer Zone (except the lakes area).

Nadine & Archer – on Tee Break

"Everything is made of wafer," Archer said in their post-leg interview. "From the golf club, to the golf car, and especially the whole golf course!"

"It's time to become golfers, not archers anymore," Nadine said.

"Not funny," Archer said.

The golf car has a driver. The team rode the golf car to the first out of five stations.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Vic & Jenna: Married

"I hope I know where this colorful place is," Vic said.

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Hey!" said Baron.

"Hey! Roadblock?" said Vic.

"Nah... Detour!" Baron replied. "Yo done with the forward?"

"Yeah! We're now walking to the pit stop."

"What!? How far could it be?"

"I don't know."

"That's all right, you'll get there too. Good luck!"

"Thanks! Same for both of you."

"Thanks too!"

Vic & Jenna continued walking. They didn't see Annie and Annie didn't notice them either.

The chef came back to Baron with the fried knycke in a stick.

"Ulk..." Baron said.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Bill & Charles – yielded

"I think it has been ten minutes since we started," said Charles.

"I think so," said Bill. "Time here is dead."

-Ghostly Galaxy-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"Our cab's coming after fifty-five minutes," said Steve.

"This leg, we've been in a complete disaster!" said Mark.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Henry & Maria: Dating

"Our ghost a**es have been saved by a blind yield," said Maria to Henry. "Leaving our travel documents more than once almost cost us the whole race. We got lucky this time, and back during the first leg. Especially the first leg!"

Flashback:

Maria panicked, "Where's our fanny pack?"

"It's on your ATV," replied Annie.

"Uhhh! It's over!" shouted Maria.

The ghosts went back to get their fanny pack.

After getting their fanny pack, they stood beside the grass types.

"Henry & Maria," started Ryder,"I am very sorry to tell you... that you are the last team to arrive. And I am sorry to tell you... that you will both encounter a speedbump sometimes in the next leg of the race."

"Well... just glad we got saved by some yield user," said Henry. "I'll just remember not to make that kind of mistake again next time."

-Waffotem Bay-

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

"We've been here for a century now," exaggerated Diana with a smile.

Cindy got six arrows onto the pillar; Raffy, fifteen.

"I think my pillar's harder than the others," said Raffy. "But I believe that we're almost done... yeah, almost done."

-Wafer Zone Golf Club-

Nadine & Archer – on Tee Break

"That's one for the first hole," said Archer to Nadine. "You did great! Par!"

"Your turn on the second one and better do it well," replied Nadine.

"We could be near somewhere already," said Barry.

Sam is still asleep.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Annie & Baron – on Lake Knycke Snack

"I'm done!" announced Baron.

Baron got up from the lake he was on. He searched for Annie and told her that they're done. The chef gave the their next clue afterwards.

Annie & Baron; Currently in 2nd

"Make your way to the main entrance of Wafer Fortress to receive your next clue," read Annie.

"Glad I was able to eat them without having the throwing-up feeling," said Annie.

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

"Where are we again?" asked Jenna.

"I don't know to be honest," said Vic.

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

CRACK... CRACK! PHOOM!

"Finally!" shouted Raffy.

"Okay, let's get there," said Ralph. "See you at the pit stop, we're probably not the last two teams."

"Okay, see ya!" replied Cindy.

Ralph rowed the boat towards their fallen pillar.

"We'll make it," hoped Diana.

Cindy shot the arrow to the pillar. The arrow hit the pillar's top portion and the clue simply fell.

"I saw that!" said Cindy.

"Me too!" her mom said. "Let's go and get it."

Diana rowed the boat towards the area where the clue fell.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Bill & Charles – yielded

"We should almost be done," said Charles.

"The yield sure made the ghosts happy," added Bill.

"It's so boring here."

"It's yield, dude. A yield!"

-Wafer Zone Golf Club-

"Three moves for the second hole, great job!" Nadine said sarcastically.

"I did my best," Archer said.

"Haha, I don't think that's your best," she replied.

-Waffotem Bay-

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

Barry dragged Sam out of their saucer. At this time, Barry sprinkled some water onto Sam's eyes. Sam finally woke up.

"Sam! What have you been dreaming!? I've been dragging you all along!" said Barry.

"Whu... What!? Where are we? Have we passed the yield?" said Sam.

"The yield was already used when we got there."

"Where are we?"

"Waffotem Bay for a clue."

Barry went to the cluebox and opened the lid. The clue hit his forehead.

"Owie!" said Barry.

"What the heck!?" said Sam.

"Today's clueboxes are specially made to give teams a heart attack."

"Oh, I see."

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

"Look who's here," said Ralph.

"Hey!" said Barry and Sam.

"Hello," said Diana and Cindy.

Raffy was busy with the clue.

"How come I can't open this!?" questioned Raffy.

Diana ripped open their envelope.

Diana & Cindy; Currently in 4th

"It's a detour first before a roadblock," said Diana.

"Lake Knycke Snack or Tee Break?" read Cindy.

"Let's do tee," suggested Diana.

"Sure," said Cindy. "Guys, we're doing Tee Break."

"Okay," said Ralph.

Raffy finally opened the envelope.

Ralph & Raffy; Currently in 5th

"Detour, Lake Knycke Snack or Tee Break?" read Raffy.

"Let's do the snack, I'm kind of hungry," said Ralph.

"Okay, Lake Knycke Snack here we go," said Raffy.

"Good luck guys," Ralph told Barry & Sam. "The active route info task is harder than it looks."

Barry & Sam; Currently in 6th

"I'll row, you shoot," said Sam.

"Fine!" replied Barry.

-Wafer Zone Golf Club-

"One!" shouted Nadine as she swung the golf club.

"It got in I guess," said Archer.

"Woohoo, uh-huh!" cheered Nadine happily.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Bill & Charles – yielded

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two... one," counted Bill.

"Done?" asked Charles.

"In... done!" Bill replied.

They went to the cluebox. The clue jumped out and hit Charles's right eye.

"Ow my Arceus!" he shouted.

"Lemme read it, dude," Bill said.

Bill ripped open the envelope.

Bill & Charles; Currently in 8th

"Fast forward?" Bill asked.

"Nohhoh!" said Charles.

He opened the route info clue and read, "Make your way to Waffotem Bay."

"Let us hope that we can catch up to the ghosts," said Bill.

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

"I have a feeling that we're lost," said Maria.

"We haven't even seen a single local yet," Henry said.

"Oh yeah, yeah... You haven't even broken the pillar yet," said Sam.

"Vic & Jenna again," Annie said.

"We should go that way," suggested Vic.

"I don't really know," Jenna said.

Annie & Baron: Teachers

"Let's approach them," Baron said.

"Great idea!" said Annie.

The teachers approached the couple.

"How ya doin', buddy?" said Baron from behind Vic.

"Woah! You guys again!?" said Vic.

"Have you seen Wafer Fortress?" asked Annie.

"We're also heading there," Jenna replied.

"Let's go together," said Baron.

"Great!" said Vic brightly.

The alliance started working together to find Wafer Fortress.

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

"What's wrong with this!?" said Barry in frustration.

"You better figure out how to hit the pillar," said Sam. "I'm getting tired of rowing back and forth."

-somewhere in Wafer Zone-

"It's getting too foggy," Henry said.

"We're not even sure if we're going to the right way," Maria said. "Charles & Bill's yield should be done soon."

"Fighting for last the third time around ain't fun no more," Bill said.

-Wafer Zone Golf Club-

Nadine & Archer – on Tee Break

Nadine was seen swinging the golf club.

The ball went inside the hole.

"We only did nine moves!" said Nadine.

"The clue said we should do ten or less," said Archer.

The golf car driver handed them their next clue.

Nadine & Archer; Currently in 3rd

"Make your way to the main entrance of Wafer Fortress to receive your next clue," read Archer.

"I was very excited that we finished quickly," said Nadine in a post-leg interview.

"Hi girls!" greeted Nadine.

"Well hello there!" said Diana.

"Is it easy?" asked Cindy.

"It is to me," replied Nadine. "Good luck, girls!"

"Thanks!" said both cat pokémons in unison.

Nadine & Archer left for the fortress, while Diana & Cindy went towards the golf car and rode it to their first station.

-Waffotem Bay-

"Are you kidding me!?" said Sam in a mad tone.

"The h**l! I'm the one who's suppose to be angry right now!" said Barry in a angry voice.

Sam rowed the boat to the shore.

"F***in' s***!" said Barry.

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"Another team!" shouted Charles.

"Let's get the clue and beat them!" said Bill.

"Love your spirit, dude!"

Bill & Charles; Currently in 7th

Bill read, "One team member must row the boat while the other must destroy a pillar from a range by using bow and arrows."

"I love archery!" said Charles. "It's one of my favorite hobbies!"

"So that means I'll have to row," said Bill. "Sigh."

"We're screwed!" said Sam.

"Do you wanna switch roles?" asked Sam.

"Nah, I tried archery before," said Sam.

"Not so foggy here," said Ralph.

Ralph & Raffy went to Pineapple Tidbit Lake.

"Woah! Woah! Woah!" said Ralph, finding out that the area is very slippery.

"What's our lake knycke snack?" asked Raffy to the chef.

The two dipped themselves into the pineapple lake and realized what they had to eat.

"Oh my Arceus!" said Raffy.

"I'm gonna puke internally!" said Ralph.

"Hurry hurry hurry!" panicked Barry.

"Dude! You already gave me a quick claw!" reacted Sam.

"One!" said Charles.

The pillar looks like it's about to break apart.

"Two!" he shouted.

The pillar's top part fell to the water in no time.

"Yes!" they both shouted in unison.

Barry finally got an arrow onto the pillar, but it doesn't look like it was about to crack apart.

"NO!" said Barry.

"I'm getting exhausted, Barry," Sam told him.

Bill & Charles got the clue. They went back to the shore to read their next clue.

Bill & Charles; Currently in 6th

Charles read the clue with an excited tone, "Detour, Tee Break or Lake Knycke Snack?"

"What are they?" Bill asked.

Charles scanned through the clue and told Bill, "One is golf, the other is an eating challenge I guess."

"Let's eat!" suggested Bill.

"Cheers, dude!" said Charles. "We're doing Lake Knycke Snack."

"Karma, nerds!" shouted Charles to the best friends.

The two left the scene running away.

Barry & Sam: Best Friends

"We're in dead last," Sam said. "And I'm extremely exhausted."

"Do you want to take a penalty? I can't do archery, you can't do archery," Barry said.

"We have to be close," Jenna said.

"There's a signboard," said Baron.

"What does it say?" asked Vic.

All four team members saw the words "Wafer Fortress" with an arrow to the right.

"That's got to solve our problem," said Vic.

"I'm getting tired," said Annie.

"Relax," said Baron to her.

The four slowed down their walking speed.

"Thank you!" said Diana.

Diana & Cindy; Currently in 5th

"Make your way to the main entrance of Wafer Fortress to receive your next clue," read Diana.

As soon as they got out of the club, Cindy said, "Let's go this way."

"Okay," said Diana.

The mother and daughter team went northwards. They met Bill & Charles along the way.

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"Hi girls!" greeted Charles.

"Hello," said Diana. Cindy was frightened to greet back.

"Do you know where the lakes are?" asked Charles.

"Ralph & Raffy went that way," Diana said while pointing southwards.

"That's got to help," said Bill.

"Thanks!" said Charles.

Bill & Charles left the scene.

"Thank Arceus the yield's blind," Cindy said.

"They definitely didn't know it was us," Diana added.

"See how fast they got here?"

"No surprise why they're about to catch up to us."

-Wafer Fortress-

Nadine & Archer: Dating

Annie & Baron: Teachers

Both Nadine and Archer are already on the balcony platform. Annie was only halfway through. Baron has not yet rappelled the fortress wall. Nadine & Archer were handed their next clue.

Nadine & Archer; Currently in 2nd

"Roadblock," read Nadine. "Who has infinite patience?"

"A roadblock is a task where only one team member may complete. In this roadblock, one team member must go to one of three gardens within the fortress and must place giant wafer dominoes around the field. Each team member has seventy-five domino pieces. They have to use all seventy-five pieces to press one of three big red buttons on that field. Once all pieces are used, and the big red button is pressed, their next clue will appear."

"I've done three, you only did one," Archer said.

"I know, I know," said Nadine. "That's why I'm doing this."

Archer gets to choose to wait in a room or watch his partner do the roadblock. He chooses to watch Nadine do it.

"We've had problems performing the roadblocks in this race," Archer said.

Flashback:

Leg 1:

"Oh no, sorry Plusle," said Nadine because she accidentally stumbled to a dark room.

Archer and Gina saw a silhouette, both hoping that it's their partner.

"You did it girl!" congratulated Gina.

"Oh no!" worried Archer.

Leg 2:

"A map, genius!" said Archer impressively.

He read the map for the first four floors. He got the map wet on the fourth floor.

"After losing the map, I didn't even have a foggy idea where I was other than being in Steam Cave." said Archer in a post-leg interview.

"I'm steamed!" exclaimed Archer in angst.

Leg 3:

"How many ribbons am I suppose to collect?" Archer asked himself.

"Read your clue." said Articuno, shaking her head.

"Screwed again." said Archer.

"I'm gettin' worried about Archer." said Nadine to the camera.

"I didn't have a problem with last leg's roadblock," continued Archer. "I am hoping for Nadine to do well in this patience-requiring roadblock."

-Waffotem Bay-

Barry & Sam – penalty time = 1:00:00

"One more hour," said Barry while looking at his watch.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Bill & Charles – on Lake Knycke Snack

"In order for me to take a dip into the lake, I had to wear this ball on my tail that will protect my tail's flame," Charles said during their post-leg interview.

"I bet this is rose flavored," said Bill.

"Let's just both go to the same lake," Charles suggested.

They both picked Rosewater Gel Lake.

The chef gave them their first meal. He also introduced the dish to them.

"Looks tasty," said Bill.

"You're one good puddin'," Charles commented.

Henry & Maria: Dating

"I see a team," said Maria.

Ralph & Raffy: Twins

"Hey!" called Henry.

"Woah, hey!" said Ralph in surprise.

"Do you know where Waffotem Bay is?" asked Henry.

"Wow! You're just going there!?" said Ralph.

"Yeah," said Maria.

Ralph pointed at a direction and said, "Straight ahead, this way."

"Thanks!" said Henry.

"Can you help us this time?" said Ralph.

"What'ya lookin' for? By the way, there's nothing from the direction where we came from," Maria said.

"Wafer Fortress Main Entrance?" said Ralph.

"Sorry, no idea," said Maria.

"How did the leg go so far?" asked Henry.

"The task in Waffotem is pretty difficult," Ralph said. "Then the detour is at the direction from where we came from. It's gross to be honest, no offense. We're now looking for the fortress where the roadblock probably is."

"Wow!" said Henry.

"Let's just go away from that direction," said Maria.

"We'll just follow you," said Ralph.

"Okay," said Henry.

The two teams temporarily teamed up to find different locations.

-Wafer Fortress-

Annie & Baron: Teachers

Baron read the clue, "Roadblock, who has infinite patience?"

"Can you do this?" asked Baron to Annie.

"I think so," said Annie. "I'll just do it so that we'll have an equal roadblock count."

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"This task is physically... ugh... exhausting," said Nadine.

She had made ten giant wafer dominoes stand. One of them leaned backward, resulting the other seven pieces behind it to fall.

"Oof!" said Archer in dismay.

"Only two were left standing that time," Nadine said in a post-leg interview.

"This IS exhausting," Nadine said.

"I can see her sweating a lot for ten pieces," Archer said.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"You can do it!" Baron cheered.

Annie made one wafer domino stand.

"This is physically tiring," Annie said.

Meanwhile at the pinnacle, after finding their way through...

Vic & Jenna: Married

The two came running to the pit stop. They both jumped onto the mat.

"Bilkamz avil zle Vaufirr Gorton dla Vaufirr Xoun," said the Wafer King, welcoming them. "Welcome... to the Wafer Fortress... in Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," Vic & Jenna said.

"Vic & Jenna," Ryder said, "You are once again... team number one!"

Vic & Jenna – 1st place

"Woohoo!" shouted Jenna.

"Just love our sweet victory," Vic said.

"Congratulations to both of you," Ryder said. "As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a Volans Patella four thousand five hundred."

"Yes!" said Vic.

"Each!" continued Ryder.

"Wow!" said Jenna.

After that came some silence due to exhaustion.

"This leg had so much navigation!" commented Vic.

"It had us... lost coming here," Jenna added.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Bill & Charles – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Yummy salad!" Charles said.

"Where's our final slug feast?" said Bill, craving for more Knycke snacks.

"Okay, see ya guys!" said Henry.

"Hopefully," added Maria in a soft voice.

Henry & Maria; Currently in 8th

"We're currently in last place," Maria said.

Henry read the clue, "One team member must row the boat while the other must destroy a pillar from a range by using bow and arrows."

"You row the boat," Maria commanded. "I wanna try the archery."

Henry & Maria started preparing.

"This will be an epic fight for last place," Sam said.

-Wafer Fortress-

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"I'm stuck with this piece," Nadine said.

"Leave it for last," Archer suggested.

Nadine set the said piece aside and started working with the other pieces.

"Sixteen! Ugh!" said Nadine in a loud voice.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"That's fourteen out of seventy-five," said Baron.

"Am I doing great?" asked Annie.

"Just don't let any of them fall, you'll do better and better."

"Okay."

Annie's first piece swayed forward.

"Oh my Arceus!" said Annie.

All the fourteen pieces she had set up fell down.

"All my hard work?" said Annie.

"That's why the team member with infinite patience is recommended for this roadblock," Baron replied.

Diana & Cindy; Currently in 4th

"That's you!" Cindy told her mom.

Cindy said in a post-leg interview, "Thank goodness! A roadblock question that fits Mom."

"This better be mental," Diana said.

After scanning through the clue, Diana said, "This is physical!"

"It's okay, Mom," Cindy said. "I have faith in you. You can do it!"

"Maximum of three teams per field," read Diana.

Cindy followed her to field two.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"Three!" said Baron. "Keep going! You can do it!"

Annie seemed very exhausted.

"I wish we had won the express pass," Annie said.

"We've been wishing for that since the day we lost it," Baron said. "And in case we won the pass, we would've used it on the previous leg."

"You're right."

"Guess it shows that winning the pass will let us slack off on the desert roadblock."

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

"Hello, Baron," Diana greeted. "Hello, Annie. How hard is the roadblock?"

"I'm already exhausted!" replied Annie. "And I'm completely far from done!"

Annie's three wafer dominoes fell dowm again.

"Oh my A... – no... no..." Annie said. Later on, she just curled up and started crying.

"Is this how horrible it is?" asked Cindy.

"We got lost," Baron said. "She was already exhausted before we got to Waffotem Bay."

"Oh dear," Diana said.

-Waffotem Bay-

Henry & Maria: Dating

"Ha!" shouted Maria. "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

She shot four arrows that cracked the wafer pillar.

"I'm out of arrows," Maria told Henry. "But we're almost done."

Henry rowed the boat back to the shore.

"Thanks for getting us lost!" said Mark in frustration.

They paid the driver most of their money, then the cab left.

"We're absolutely in last place," said Steve.

Mark talked to the penguin.

"Can you please call us a space taxi?" he said.

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

"Eleven," Diana said. "This is tough, especially on the physical side."

"But we heard the pillar collapse," Barry said. "They're almost done."

Henry & Maria; Currently in 7th

"Detour, Tee Break or Lake Knycke Snack?" read Maria.

"Let's do Lake Knycke Snack," Henry said.

Henry rowed the boat back to the shore.

Meanwhile on the shore

Barry & Sam – penalty time = 0:12

"They aren't here yet?" said Barry.

A boat showed up all of a sudden from a foggy climate.

"Three, two, one," counted Sam.

Barry ripped open the envelope. The ghosts dashed away.

Barry & Sam; Currently in 8th

"Detour, Tee Break or Lake Knycke Snack?" read Barry.

"Let's follow them," suggested Sam. "So that we can compare our progresses."

Without having the knowledge of which detour the ghosts are taking, Barry & Sam just followed them.

"Run! Run!" said Maria to Henry.

"I'm trying!" Henry replied. "I have two heavy bags with me! Is the fanny pack with you?"

"Oh s***!" said Maria.

Barry & Sam are also running. They look awfully awkward.

"Check the bag! Check the bag!" panicked Maria.

"We didn't even know where they were going or where we were heading," Sam said in their post-leg interview.

Barry & Sam passed them.

"It's in my bag!" Maria told Henry. "Let's catch up to them!"

The two teams are just about two yards apart from each other.

"Finally! A cab!" said Mark.

"To Wafer Zone please," Steve told the cab driver.

"This is not your everyday space cab," said the driver. "This is the SPACE CASH CAB!"

The colorful lights from the ceiling lit the whole cab.

"Two cameramons, and two other pokémons," said the cab driver. "You must've come from the same association!"

"Huh?" said Mark & Steve in unison.

"About many, many hours ago, there were two cameramons accompanying a green married couple," said the driver. "By the way, my name is MC Ballyhoo. Are you ready to play Space Cash Cab?"

They accepted to play the game. MC Ballyhoo explained the rules to them.

"Don't worry," said Ballyhoo. "You may have lost one life, but you still have two!"

Steve was clapping, suddenly came an awkward silence.

"Second question, something about your next destination: How many years of history does the Wafer Zone have?"

"I say two hundred," Mark said.

"I'm going with three hundred," said Steve.

"Final answer please."

"Two hundred and fifty," Mark said.

"Yeah!" afreed Steve.

"WRONG!"

"What!?" said both of them in unison.

"Very far papses, the answer is twenty-five years."

"Wow, that's short!" said Mark.

"We'll be told to go back too," Sam said.

The two went inside the fortress to find an exit down.

Henry got to the top. He ripped open the envelope and read the clue.

He read, "Roadblo... – We missed something."

"What!?" said Maria.

"The golf one is straight this way," replied Charles.

"Thank you very much, thank you," said Barry.

Barry & Sam ran off to the golf detour as quickly as possible.

"Oh my Arceus! Bill, or Charles, do you know where the lake detour is?" panicked Maria.

"The golf one is straight this way," Charles said.

"We forgot where the lakes are, sorry," Bill said.

"We have to go to the golf one instead," said Henry.

Maria thanked them and both ghosts dashed off.

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"Forty-six," Nadine said.

"And I can't believe I can do this," Diana said.

Meanwhile...

"Annie's still asleep," Baron said.

Raffy – on roadblock (field 1)

"I am laying all the pieces down," Raffy said. "So that I'll just have to make them stand when I'm finished. I don't have to come back and forth."

"The task is actually physical in the lifting part," Charles added in a post-leg interview.

"I'm already on my sixty-third piece," said Nadine.

Suddenly, the fifteenth piece leaned forward. All the pieces before it fell down in a domino effect.

"Oh no!" said Nadine.

"What just happened!?" said Archer in an extremely surprised tone.

Nadine tried stopping it on the forty-somethingth piece, but it was no use. Only fifteen pieces were left standing.

"All my hard work!" said Nadine.

"You need to be patient to do this roadblock," Archer said. "The clue said so."

"Okay," said Nadine. "I'm already tired, and they all fell, almost all I mean."

Luckily for Raffy, he was able to stop the pieces from falling starting from the fifty-somethingth piece.

"I can get this done... soon," Raffy said.

"We were almost done," Ralph said.

"I'm almost done setting all the pieces," Bill said.

The two were seen running off from the golf club.

"Are they switching?" asked Barry.

"We're almost done anyway," Sam said.

Raffy went to the start and hit the first piece. The wafers are making a domino effect. After the seventy-fifth piece had fallen down, the button made a sound of a siren. A wafer tablet fell from the sky.

"It has to be our clue," said Ralph.

Both twins carried and read the tablet that is the size of a normal laptop.

"Make your way to the next pit stop," read Ralph.

"Teams must now make their way to the pinnacle of Wafer Fortress. This fortress... is the most iconic structure found in Wafer Zone. Built just twenty-four years ago, it is the pit stop of this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here... may be eliminated."

The ghosts went into the strawberry-flavored lake; best friends, vanilla-flavored.

Both teams got their puddings.

"During that time," Maria said in their post-leg interview, "We no longer cared how gross the food was."

"The fact that you're fighting for last," Henry said in their post-leg interview, "You just wanna get the task done."

"Whatever it is, just eat it!" said Sam to Barry.

-Wafer Fortress-

Bill – on roadblock (field 1)

"Done!" said Bill.

Bill went to the first wafer and hit it. The domino effect caused all the wafer dominoes to fall. The button made a siren-sound. A tablet fell from the sky.

"We were glad that we finished fast," said Bill in a post-leg interview.

Bill & Charles; Currently in 3rd

"Make your way to the next pit stop," read Charles."The last team to check-in may be eliminated."

The two took their own bags and left the field.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

"Eight more, Mom!" said Cindy. "Eight more!"

"Cindy sounded annoying back there, because she had to report to her mom how many wafers her mom got," Baron said in a post-leg interview.

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"Forty-five already," said Nadine.

"Good! Good!" said Archer.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Henry & Maria – on Lake Knycke Snack

Barry & Sam – on Lake Knycke Snack

Both teams finished their respective puddings at the same time. The chef brought them their next food.

"It's a salad," Henry said.

"It looks delicious," said Sam.

-Outer Space-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"In just twenty-four hours, we had played three different gameshows," said Mark.

"Hmm... I see, I see," said the driver.

"Now I assume that we're in last place," said Steve.

"Probably some other team also had horrible luck this leg," said Mark.

"I don't know," said Steve. "We still have a penalty for taking a cab insead of a flying saucer."

"Why? What happened?" asked the driver.

"Our flying saucer got towed away," said Mark.

"And we didn't have enough money to get it back," Steve said.

"That's just pitiably sad," said their cab driver.

-Wafer Fortress-

Bill & Charles: Gym Buddies

"Over there!" said Charles.

The two stepped on the mat.

"Bilkamz avil Vaufirr Gorton dla Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress in Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said both of them.

"Bill & Charles," said Ryder, "You are team number three!"

Bill & Charles – 3rd place

"AAAYYEEEEEHHHAAAA!" shouted Charles.

"We came from last, and now we're third!" said Bill. "It just makes me so hyper!"

Back on the fields...

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

"I think I'm almost done," Annie said.

"Okay, good!" said Baron.

"MOM! YOU HAVE THREE MORE PIECES TO GO!" said Cindy in a really loud voice.

Baron was seen rolling his eyes.

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"I'm back to the sixty-third," said Nadine. "Now going to my sixty-fourth."

"Keep going, Nade!" cheered Archer. "You're almost done! We can take a break soon!"

"We can only take a break if it's not a keep on racing leg."

"Hmmm... You're right! Why didn't I think of that?"

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Henry & Maria – on Lake Knycke Snack

Barry & Sam – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Last one!" said Barry.

The fried knyckes came.

"Hurry, we can beat them," said Henry.

"We gotta get ahead of them," said Sam. "So hurry up and eat!"

-Wafer Fortress-

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

"Apparently, Annie and I both lost count on the wafer dominoes," said Baron.

"EXCELLENT, MOM!" shouted Cindy.

Diana went to the start and pushed the first piece forward.

"Let's wait," Diana told Cindy.

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"Seventy-one now," Nadine told Archer.

"Love your pattern," Archer said.

"Thanks!" said Nadine.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

Diana – on roadblock (field 2)

All four team members watched Diana's wafer dominoes fall. After the seventy-fifth fell, the button let out a siren-sound. A tablet fell from the sky. Diana & Cindy picked it up.

Diana & Cindy; Currently in 4th

"Make your way to the next pit stop," read Cindy."The last team to check-in may be eliminated."

"That was exhausting!" said Diana.

The two took their own bags with them.

"Good luck, guys!" said Cindy.

"Thanks!" said Annie.

"This doesn't look fun anymore," said Baron to the camera softly.

Nadine – on roadblock (field 3)

"I got this controlled," Nadine said.

After raising the seventy-fifth piece, she went to the first piece and pushed it forward. After the red button was pushed by the seventy-fifth piece, a wafer-made tablet landed on the field. The tablet fell from the sky. Nadine went to pick it up.

Nadine & Archer; Currently in 5th

"Make your way to the next pit stop," read Archer."The last team to check-in may be eliminated."

"I'm tired already," said Nadine.

"At least you were patient enough to finish the task," said Archer.

The two took their belongings with them and left the field.

-Wafer MultiLake Area-

Henry & Maria – on Lake Knycke Snack

Barry & Sam – on Lake Knycke Snack

"Yum," said Maria.

Henry & Maria; Currently in 7th

"Let's hurry back to the fortress," Henry said.

"That was one wild food!" said Barry.

Barry & Sam; Currently in 8th

"Let's hurry up and get them eliminated," said Sam.

Both teams ran as fast as they could to the fortress.

-Wafer Fortress-

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"We've taken up lots of time," said Baron to the camera. "We're hoping that it's not yet over."

Meanwhile at the pinnacle...

Diana & Cindy: Mother & Daughter

"Maybe this door," said Cindy.

Nadine & Archer: Dating

"Should we go here?" asked Nadine.

"Let's give it a shot," said Archer.

? & ?

Ryder pointed at the team who just came, so that the Wafer King will know.

The two jumped to the mat.

"Bilkamz... avil Vaufirr Gorton, Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress, Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said both of them.

"Nadine & Archer," said Ryder, "You are team number four!"

Nadine & Archer – 4th place

"YES!" said Archer.

"We no longer belong to the back of the pack," said Nadine.

"I'M SO HAPPY!" said Archer.

"We were glad that we got to the middle of the pack," said Nadine. "We're hoping for more improvement."

"There's another team," said Ryder.

"Bilkamz... avil Vaufirr Gorton, Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress, Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said both of them.

"Diana & Cindy," said Ryder, "You are team number five!"

Diana & Cindy – 5th place

"Wow!" said Diana.

"Not bad," said Cindy.

"I got tired," said Diana.

"How was the roadblock?" Ryder asked Diana.

"It's very physical, time-consuming, and difficult," Diana answered.

The two teams left the pit stop.

Back to the field...

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"There's at least one team behind us... I think," said Baron.

Annie was already on her seventy-third piece, when suddenly, she accidentally hit the piece. Everything fell down. Annie hopelessly watched the pieces fell down.

"Oh no..." said Baron.

Annie fell to the floor, looking traumatized.

"It's okay, Annie," said Baron.

Annie didn't make a move.

"That doesn't look good to me," said Baron.

At the balcony nearest the main entrance...

Barry & Sam; Currently in 7th

Henry & Maria; Currently in 8th

"We didn't have to rappel the second time around," said Henry in a post-leg interview.

"Our roadblock clue?" asked Maria.

"Lemme look for it," Henry said.

While Henry was looking for the roadblock clue, Barry & Sam came prepared.

Sam read the clue, "Roadblock, who has infinite patience?"

"That's you," said Barry.

"Take note, I've done more roadblocks for the team."

"Umm..."

"C'mon."

"Errr..."

"You can think of it carefully, c'mon."

"Fine! I'll do this."

The two left for the roadblock location.

"I found it!" said Henry.

Henry read the clue, "Roadblock, who has infinite patience?"

"I'll just do it," Maria said.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"This looks really frustrating," said Baron softly to the camera. "I have a feeling that Annie's gonna burst and quit the roadblock. I hope that doesn't happen, because our chances of surviving this leg will be very small. We got to Wafer Zone first along with our allies, and now, it looks like we're going home. If I did this roadblock, I'd definitely be frustrated. I can't be as patient as Diana. We could be screwed right now, we could be lucky at the same time. I'm not really sure on how many teams are behind us. The field is creepily quiet, and... I hope this doesn't get any worse."

Annie was on the floor for several minutes now, Baron just realized that she had already fallen asleep.

"Not good," said Baron.

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

"We got some strong competition here," said Henry.

"We've been fighting for last for hours now," Sam said.

"I'm not strong enough to lift this," complained Barry.

"This is heavy! It's gonna take a while," Maria said.

-Outer Space-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

Mark was seen checking their fanny pack.

"We only have twelve space bucks left," Mark said softly.

The driver overheard it and raised the cab's speed.

-Gold Leaf Galaxy-

The driver parked the car.

"Why did we stop?" asked Mark.

"Pay your cab fare," said the driver.

"What!?" said Steve.

"Come on..." the driver said. "Twelve space dollars, now!"

Mark handed him the money and they got out of the cab. The space cab driver, without another word, left the galaxy with his space cab.

"Our luck this leg is completely horrible," Steve said.

Mark was seen with the same traumatized looks.

-Wafer Fortress-

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

"It's just my tenth," said Maria.

"Just number eight, Sam," Barry said.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

Annie woke up right away and started working again. She's now on the fourth piece.

"I'm glad she's back," Baron said.

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

"Fifteen now," Henry said.

"You can do it, Barry!" cheered Sam.

Barry looked exhausted, while Maria looked confused.

"I'm getting dizzy," Maria told Henry.

Henry gave Maria some water.

"Sorry, I don't have my energy drink with me anymore," Henry said.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"She's already on the sixteenth," said Baron softly.

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria's fifteenth piece suddenly leaned back, and all of her hard work was back to zero.

"That's not good," said Maria.

Barry's third piece leaned forward. All of his pieces fell except for the first two.

"Are you kidding me!?" said Barry.

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"Twenty-six," Annie counted softly.

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

"I have to get back to work," Maria said.

"This is frustrating," Barry said.

-Gold Leaf Galaxy-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"What do we do now?" asked Mark.

Suddenly, a bus came. The bus parked right in front of them.

"Where are you heading?" asked the bus driver.

"To Wafer Zone please," Steve said.

"What a coincidence! I'm also heading there," said the driver.

The bus left the galaxy.

-Wafer Fortress-

Annie – on roadblock (field 2)

"I'm almost done," said Annie.

"That's good," said Baron.

Barry – on roadblock (field 3)

Maria – on roadblock (field 3)

"A few pieces left," Maria said.

"Get ready to dash, Sam," said Barry.

Annie was shown hitting the first wafer domino piece. Barry and Maria were also shown doing the same thing.

The three teams were shown reading their clues and getting their bags.

Annie & Baron; Currently in 6th / 7th / 8th

Barry & Sam; Currently in 6th / 7th / 8th

Henry & Maria; Currently in 6th / 7th / 8th

"This is all footrace dependent now," said Sam.

A team was seen running to the mat.

"Bilkamz avil Vaufirr Gorton, Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress, Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said both team members.

"Henry & Maria," Ryder said, "You are team number six!"

Henry & Maria – 6th place

"Here comes another team," said Ryder.

"Bilkamz avil Vaufirr Gorton, Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress, Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said both team members.

"Barry & Sam," Ryder said, "You are team number seven!"

Barry & Sam – 7th place

"What an exhausting leg," said Barry.

"This leg gave me some ghoulish adrenaline rush," said Maria.

"We thought we were both fighting for last," said Henry.

"Who could the other two teams be?" wondered Sam.

The four team members were shown leaving the pit stop.

Several seconds have passed...

"Bilkamz avil Vaufirr Gorton, Vaufirr Xoun," greeted the Wafer King. "Welcome to Wafer Fortress, Wafer Zone!"

"Thank you," said Annie & Baron.

"Annie & Baron, you are the last team to arrive," said Ryder.

"That's very disappointing," said Baron.

"Our race went pretty short than we expected," Annie added.

"I was not yet done," said Ryder.

The two's eyes widened.

Ryder said, "Annie & Baron, you are the last team to arrive... except for one!"

Annie & Baron – 8th place

"What!?" panicked Annie.

"I guess that means we're eighth," Baron said.

"Yes, you guys are team number eight!" said Ryder. "Now guys, come with me, let's go back to the outskirts.

-Wafer Outskirts-

Mark & Steve: Grandfathers

"We're finally here," said Mark.

"I already see the yield," said Steve.

As soon as they got off the bus, Ryder said, "Guys, come here."

Mark & Steve were wondering where the familiar sound came from.

"Come here," repeated Ryder.

Mark & Steve now saw Ryder. All the other teams were at the back.

"What happened?" whispered Charles to Bill.

"Mark & Steve," started Ryder, "All the other teams have already checked-in hours ago. You have incurred two thrity-minute penalties for taking two different transportations. Unfortunately, Mark & Steve, I'm sorry to tell you... that you have been eliminated from the race."

Mark & Steve – ELIMINATED

There was a horribly awkward silence. All the teams watched them getting eliminated.

"We may have departed first today," said Steve.

Mark continued, "But luck is really an important factor in the race."

"We are pretty disappointed for not making it further than we have expected."

"But we are glad that we're part of the race."

"The unlucky experience may be one of the worst things ever."

"Luck wasn't on our side today."

After some awkward silence, Ryder said, "Now everybody get in the bus."

All the nine teams there, including Ryder, went inside the bus. All the teams are being transported to a more convenient location. For being eliminated, Mark & Steve will be transported to sequesterville instead.


Next time on The Amazing Race Pokémon:

As teams travel back to the Pokémon World...

"Home sweet home!"

They encounter difficult obstacles.

"Not again..."

"Please don't scare me like that."

And with a blind u-turn in play, which team has the guts to use it?

"Are you sure we're gonna u-turn them?"

"This looks kinda risky."

"Revenge?"

"Only if we have to."

A/N: Don't worry about the arrival times. I'll mention the departure times next leg. Next chapter will be out next year.
