Glace – on roadblock (5 of 5)
Cara – on roadblock (5 of 5)
The scene repeated as Cara and Glace were on a footrace to the pit stop.
"Yay Cara!" cheered Janelle.
"I'm coming for ya, Cara!" Glace said aloud.
"Go sister!" cheered Lea.
"You can do this, Cara!" cheered Janelle.
"Almost there!" Glace said.
"We can win this sis!" Lea cheered. "You got this."

"Welcome to Cool, Cool Mountain!" said the white Ukiki.
"Thanksies!" said Janelle.
"Thank you!" said the other three.
Ryder took a deep breath before saying, "Cara & Janelle... you are team number one!"
"Yeah!" said Janelle.
Cara looked too tired to react, while Lea looked disappointed before hearing from Ryder again.
Ryder continued, "That means Lea & Glace, you are team number two!"
"Not bad, not bad," said Glace while clapping. "I made a wrong turn upon exiting the cave."
"Awww..." reacted Lea.
Cara & Janelle — 1st place = 12:58 PM
Lea & Glace — 2nd place = 12:58 PM
"As the winners of this leg of the race, Cara & Janelle, you have won a five-night trip for two and you are going to the luxurious Toadstool Hotel and Resort! You will enjoy spa massages, historical tours, and a lot more on your time there," Ryder ended.
"Alright!" said Janelle.
Janelle just gave Cara a hi-five, since the latter was still too tired to react.
"So how is this friendly competition going?" Ryder asked both teams.
"It's pretty fine I guess," Janelle said. "These two are tough to beat! But they are fun to compete with."
Glace replied, "I'm glad we're giving you some challenge."
"Oh my grass!" said Lea. "You two are stronger than you look!"
"Haha!" said Janelle. "Thanks!"
-Cool Cool Mountain-
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
The two were about to approach the clue near Mr. Snowman.
"Why are Carol & Giselle fighting with Lilly & Kelly?" wondered Nick.
Lester noticed this too and replied, "I wonder too..."
They saw the cluebox and realized that they have to wait for Harl & Natt.
"Oh shoot!" Nick reacted. "I thought we could get ahead of them already for the rest of the leg."
"I do hope we don't get eliminated because of this intersection," added Lester.
Lilly & Kelly + Carol & Giselle
"The music guys are here!" said Lilly. "Can we continue this at..."
"UGH!" Carol said. "One side has to win!"
"Okay okay," said Lilly.
Kelly said, "Fine, we surrender."
"NO!" Giselle reacted as she threw a snowball to Kelly.
"Hey!" said Lilly.
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
"To be honest, watching them fight looks interesting," commented Nick.
"I sure hope Harl & Natt will be here soon. We might be able to beat those two," Lester said, pointing at the fighting teams.
"You're right!" said Nick. "We have to ace this task."
Lilly & Kelly + Carol & Giselle
Carol & Giselle both kept hitting Lilly & Kelly even though the latter party has already lost to the point that they're already on the cold ground.
"Can we please get back to the task?" said Kelly.
"Yeah we should," said Carol.
"How could you...!?" Giselle reacted.
"Shut up!" said Carol.
Carol was about to help Lilly up, but Lilly slapped Carol in the face.
"Ow!" Carol reacted as she touched her face. "Fine! No help means no help! Once we finish this, you and your housemate are on your own!"
Lilly gritted her teeth in anger. Kelly helped her up instead.
"Now we have to start over!" Lilly complained.
"Back to zero, and it's because of you!" blamed Giselle to the other team.
Lilly told Kelly softly, "I can't argue with them anymore. Let's just get this done."
Kelly nodded in silence.
Post-leg confessional:
Lilly & Kelly
"I apologize for this fight we've been causing recently," said Lilly. "When I realized I was no match to wild Carol, I was just being childish. I am very sorry."
Back to the race...
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
The two musicians still waited for the last team.
"Soon... soon is what I can hope for," Nick said.
"Tick-tock... tick-tock," said Lester as he stared at his watch.
Lilly & Kelly + Carol & Giselle
Kelly said, "Okay girls, we have to get this done, or else we're not gonna..."
"Shut up, housemaid!" yelled Giselle.
"Whatevs!" said Carol. "Let's just do our own snowballs, and..."
"PLEASE COOPERATE WITH ME!" said Lilly.
"Us..." said Kelly softly.
"WE NEED TO FINISH THIS WORK, OR ELSE THE OTHER TWO GUY TEAMS WILL BEAT US!" said Lilly aloud.
"FINE! FINE!" Carol replied aloud.
"Lil, they're here," said Kelly softly.
There was an awkward silence, so they looked at the direction in which Harl & Natt were coming from.
"Okay, time to work," said Carol.
And so, the four girls cooperatively and toleratively focused on the intersection task.
Harl & Natt: Best Buddies
"This is it," said Harl.
"We can beat them to this," said Natt.
Nick & Lester: Band Mates
"Thank goodness you finally came!" said Nick.
"Sorry we're late," said Natt.
Nick & Lester + Harl & Natt
"Let's just make as much snowballs as we can," said Lester.
"Alright," said Nick.
"We got this! We got this!" said Natt.
After around twenty minutes, Carol & Giselle and Lilly & Kelly finished their intersection.
Lilly & Kelly; Currently in 3rd / 4th
Carol & Giselle; Currently in 3rd / 4th
"Roadblock," read Kelly.
Carol continued, "Who's on a rescue mission? I'll do this since it's a cave-related task."
Lilly volunteered, "I'm gonna challenge Carol."
The girls entered the cave not long after.
Nick & Lester + Harl & Natt
The four were working on the finishing touches of the snowman.
"You know one of us is going home right?" said Natt.
"Yeah," agreed Nick. "Guess the male population will soon diminish."
"No!" said Harl. "There's still hope. We can beat those two teams!"
Before Nick or Natt could reply to Harl, Lester said, "Our snowman looks pretty okay."
Mr. Snowman approved their snowman, and each team received its next clue.
Harl & Natt; Currently in 5th / Last
Nick & Lester; Currently in 5th / Last
"I'm tired!" said Lester.
"Yeah yeah, fine fine," said Nick. "I'll do this then."
Natt said, "You messed us up last leg, and this is not a good time to mess things up."
"Okay," said Harl.
The two guys hurriedly went inside the cave too.
-Cool Cool Cavern-
Carol – on roadblock (0 of 5)
Carol was shown setting free the Tuxie with a pink bow by breaking the jelly.
Lilly – on roadblock (0 of 5)
"This place is still cold!" said Lilly.
She arrived at the jelly place on saw three Tuxies trapped. She released the one with a violet bow.
"One down, four to go," Lilly said.
Nick – on roadblock (0 of 5)
"I hope I'm going the right way," said Nick as he wandered inside the cave to find the Tuxies wearing orange bows.
Natt – on roadblock (0 of 5)
"Team blue!" said Natt before breaking the jelly where his Tuxie was trapped.
Nick came and saw Natt.
Nick – on roadblock (0 of 5)
"Yo Natt!" called Nick.
"Hey!" replied Natt. "No time for chitchat."
As Natt left, Nick realized that only one jelly was left.
"Haaa... yahhh!" said Nick as he kicked the jelly to break the Tuxie out.
Post-leg confessional:
Nick & Lester
"When I realized I was in last, I knew I had to hurry up and catch up to Natt," said Nick. "We were spared elimination a few legs ago, but that was the last non-elimination pit stop."
"You had me worried you know?" said Lester. "Going in behind and after Natt looked like it was a dangerous position to be in."
"Nah," said Nick. "The cave was pretty complex."
Back to the race...
Carol – on roadblock (1 of 5)
"It sure is dark here," Carol said as she used a flashlight that was provided to her while wandering around a part of the cave that is pitch black.
She found four Tuxies tied up to four chairs. Carol released the Tuxie of her color code.
"That's a nasty way to hire penguins," commented Carol.
Natt – on roadblock (1 of 5)
Natt, with his headlamp, was shown releasing the Tuxie tied up on a chair in that dark part of the cave.
Lilly – on roadblock (1 of 5)
Nick – on roadblock (1 of 5)
The last two racers were shown releasing the last two Tuxies hurriedly.
"Last two means last two," said Nick.
"Shhh!" hissed Lilly.
Lilly was able to release her Tuxie first, so she left ahead of Nick for that part.
"My golly!" said Nick. "How do you untie this... aha!"
Nick was able to release the Tuxie as well. He tried to follow Lilly out of the room.
Carol – on roadblock (2 of 5)
Carol fetched her third Tuxie from an almost isolated part of the cave.
Natt – on roadblock (2 of 5)
Lilly – on roadblock (2 of 5)
Five minutes after, these two found their respective Tuxies in the same room Carol found her third Tuxie.
Nick – on roadblock (2 of 5)
Few minutes later, Nick found his third Tuxie as well.
Carol – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"With the number of Tuxies in each part of the dungeon, I know I'm leading," said Carol.
Carol looked for the right key among the keys provided to her and the rest of the team members doing this roadblock by testing each key in order to release another Tuxie of hers.
"Got it!" said Carol as she successfully opened the cage her fourth Tuxie is in.
As Carol was about to leave, Natt and Lilly arrived. The first thing they saw was the table with a lot of keys scattered.
Natt – on roadblock (3 of 5)
Lilly – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"Nick ain't here yet," said Lilly softly.
The two frantically searched for the right keys to their Tuxies' cages.
"So hard," said Natt softly as he tested a key to the cage of his Tuxie, which opened successfully.
"Oh my gosh!" said Lilly softly.
"Yes!" said Natt softly before leaving the place with his four Tuxies.
Lilly said, "I think it's this."
Lilly tested it and the cage her Tuxie is in didn't open. She was shown trying again and it opened this time.
"Hurry hurry..." said Lilly softly as she exited the room.
Carol – on roadblock (4 of 5)
"Maze time," said Carol. "Come on girls and boys!"
Carol's Tuxies followed her around the maze.
Nick – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"This is just about getting lucky," said Nick as he picked a random key and tried to open the only locked cage in there.
Carol – on roadblock (5 of 5)
Carol found her last Tuxie. Now she's on her way out of the cave.
Nick – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"Nope," said Nick as he threw away the wrong key. "I may be last, but there's always hope. I must never give up trying."
-Cool Cool Mountain Base-
Carol – on roadblock (5 of 5)
Carol ran to the pit stop with the five Tuxies she rescued. Giselle joined her to the mat. Kelly, Harl, and Lester were waiting nearby for their partners.
"Welcome to Cool, Cool Mountain!" said the albino Ukiki.
"Thanksies!" said Carol.
Ryder started, "Carol & Giselle..."
"We've had enough today," said Carol, before she glared at Giselle.
"You are... the third team to arrive," continued Ryder.
"Yeah!" said Giselle.
"However, the cheese house manager from the waxed detour wasn't happy with the slight destruction," continued Ryder.
Carol's eyes widened in surprise. Giselle was still as emotionless as usual.
Ryder continued, "Therefore... production had to pay him extra charges, which means that you'll be receiving a thirty-minute penalty."
"What the...!?" reacted Carol to Giselle.
"Now you have to wait out your thirty minutes before I can check you in," ended Ryder.
"Oh my gosh!" said Carol. "Now you got us into trouble Giselle!"
Carol & Giselle – on penalty = 29:55 remaining
The two waited out their penalty a few meters behind the pit stop.
"2:39, we can only check in at 3:09!" said Carol. "This is your fault, and you know it!"
Giselle still had her serious poker face, but she has no comment whatsoever from Carol's reactions.
"UGH! Unbelievable!" said Carol.
Meanwhile, the other team members waiting for their partners had a small talk.
"Thank goodness!" said Kelly softly. "They deserve it."
"Hey I have a plan!" said Harl.
"What?" said Lester.
Harl continued, "If your teammate is the last to come out, don't tell them about Carol & Giselle's penalty. Scare them that you're last."
"Now that's a good prank!" said Kelly, impressed.
"I'll just stay silent if ever that happens," said Lester.
"This will be fun for Natt!" said Harl with a malicious grin.
-Cool Cool Cavern-
Nick – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"I've been stuck here since forever," said Nick as he threw another key away.
Natt – on roadblock (4 of 5)
"Maze, maze, maze..." repeated Natt as he focused on his search for his last Tuxie.
Lilly – on roadblock (4 of 5)
Lilly found the maze too at this time.
"Oh my goodness!" said Lilly. "The other four were easy to rescue, but what if this one's running around?"
She went inside the maze and tried her luck out.
Nick – on roadblock (3 of 5)
"This is the last key," said Nick. "If this doesn't open you up, this is rigged."
Nick opened the Tuxie's cave successfully.
"Yes!" said Nick. "Needle in the haystack for the win!"
Nick left the room with his four Tuxies afterwards.
Natt – on roadblock (5 of 5)
All Natt is looking for is the exit of the cave and the maze.
Lilly – on roadblock (4 of 5)
"There you are!" exclaimed Lilly as she found her last Tuxie. "Let's get out now."
Nick – on roadblock (4 of 5)
Nick went back to the room with the cages to get the roadblock clue he left at the table.
"Stupid mistakes always eat your brain when you're panicking," Nick said.
-Cool Cool Mountain Base-
Lilly – on roadblock (5 of 5)
Lilly found her way out and ran as fast as she could. Kelly was cheering for her before they both saw Natt running out of the cave as well.
Natt – on roadblock (5 of 5)
"Darn it!" said Natt as he wasn't able to catch up to Lilly.
Kelly and Harl joined Lilly and Natt respectively on the mat.
The Ukiki greeted, "Welcome to Cool, Cool Mountain!"
"Thank you!" said the four racers.
Ryder started, "Lilly & Kelly, Harl & Natt, you are teams number three, and four."
Lilly & Kelly — 3rd place = 2:46 PM
Harl & Natt — 4th place = 2:46 PM
The four team members clapped.
"Not bad!" said Lilly.
"That means Carol wasn't done yet," concluded Natt. "Cool!"
"Nah, she's waiting out a penalty with Giselle," said Harl.
"Awesome!" said Natt. "I thought we'd be fifth."
"In their faces!" said Lilly. "I couldn't tolerate them any further."
-Cool Cool Cavern-
Nick – on roadblock (4 of 5)
"Oh mazes, they are those wild cards that could shuffle placements sometimes," said Nick. "I hope someone's still behind me."
-Cool Cool Mountain Base-
Lester said to the camera, "So this is why hope is never lost. We've been spared elimination during the Mario Kart leg, but Nick has to make it out before 3:10 or we're out of hope."
Carol & Giselle – on penalty = 18:46 remaining
"Disgusting moves Giselle," commented Carol. "If we go home today, we're gonna have a girl-to-girl talk. Do you hear me?"
"Whatevs," replied Giselle.
Carol glared at her.
-Cool Cool Cavern-
Nick – on roadblock (5 of 5)
"Well that took a while," said Nick after he found his last Tuxie. "Let's get us all outta here."
Nick took some time to look for the exit.
-Cool Cool Mountain Base-
Lester looked at the cave exit hoping Nick would come out soon. After a while, Nick came out.
"Thank goodness you're out Nick!" said Lester.
"I'm so sorry," said Nick. "I couldn't find the key."
"It doesn't matter now," replied Lester.
Both of them stepped on the mat.
"Welcome... to Cool, Cool Mountain!" greeted the Ukiki.
Both team members sighed.
"Nick & Lester," Ryder started. "You are the last team to arrive."
Lester nodded in silence, trying to hide his smile. Nick nodded too.
"We had a fun time here," said Nick. "Guess it's time to go."
"However..." continued Ryder.
Nick's eyes widened, then he said, "Go on."
"One team is still waiting out a time penalty. This makes you two team number... five!" ended Ryder.
Nick & Lester — 5th place = 2:58 PM
"WOOHOO!" said Nick. "I thought we were out, because you said last non-elimination leg few days ago."
"It was a close call," said Lester.
As Nick & Lester left, Carol & Giselle were called to the mat.
Ryder started, "Carol & Giselle, all the other teams have already checked-in by this time."
Carol nodded in silence, while Giselle still had her serious-looking poker face.
"Unfortunately, even without consuming the last ten minutes of your penalty time, you are the last team to check in," said Ryder. "So unfortunately, I'm sorry to tell you... that you have been eliminated from the race."
Carol & Giselle — Last place = 3:09 PM
Carol & Giselle — ELIMINATED
Carol sighed before saying, "My buddy Giselle here is a good comrade at work, but I never expected her to be this arrogant in the race. We came here to have fun, but it looks like Giselle is too serious for the race to handle."
"Come on! I was hungry!" argued Giselle.
"But you're ALWAYS hungry! Can't you change for the better?" said Carol before sighing once again.
Ryder said, "I'm guessing you had fun, Carol."
"Oh definitely," replied Carol. "Racing around many different worlds and leaving work was a good break and a good experience. I can continue reflecting on the race even after today."
"Very well then," said Ryder.
The two comrades walked away from the pit stop mat.
…
Next time on The Amazing Race Pokémon...
The final five teams take part in a seasonal sports fest.
"I hope we lose more weight."
A team member swung the bat.
"The ball!"
"I'm ready for another round."
As they continue their race in the cold...
"Winter!?"
"I thought we were done with the weather."
"Oh coldy cold!"
They play with more snowballs.
"Take this!"
"Sis, you're becoming a freak."
"I love snowball fights."
Some racers prove themselves to be stronger than usual.
"Right in the face!"
A team member, wearing a glove, caught a pink flying object.
"Balance..."
"Let us take flight!"
While others... crumble and tumble.
A team member struggled with a slingshot.
"How the heck... do you fly with a BROOM!?"
"Try not to crash!"
"Ow my KNEE!"
Mistakes become more devastating than usual...
"I told you to hold on to it."
"Next thing you know, our travel documents are gone."
"Did you see how close you were?"
"Is this even the right place?"
As teams fight for slots in the final four.
"We might go home today."
"We did not get this far just to give up."
"This is the final five! We gotta stay strong."
"TOO INTENSE for me to handle!"
This episode: 05/16/2015
I think that's it for the eliminated team. I have to admit that they were very fun to write on, that's why I didn't want to let them go early on the race. I should've kept Mollie & Maverick though. I miss writing them.
So we're near the end! :D 3 more legs to go and we're done with another season! I still have school stuff though, so my updates will still come slowly. I really wish I can update weekly instead, but the wait will be too long.
I also haven't shown anything from TARP3. I still don't have a very clear idea on how the first leg will go, so I don't have season 3 trailers yet.
Regarding spoilers, I'll remind y'all at some point until when I will allow it. So that's it for now! :D
P.S. I've made fan art of the cast's photos. :D They may not be perfect, but they're good enough. The link is on my profile page. This is one probable reason why the Leg 10 update episode was delayed by a few days, or a week.
