My Hope is Comfortably Where My Soul is: Part 1/4
Previously on The Amazing Race Pokémon...
"Woohoo!" Wibsky shouted as he was on his way back to the isle from doing the roadblock.
Eleven teams raced from Kart Kapital in the Mario Kart World...
A short clip of TARP2 teams racing in Dragon Driftway was shown.
To the magical and tropical Swirl Mountain Island.
A panorama of the tropical mountain island was shown.
Paul & Wibsky kayaked their way to Melt Cream Isle silently.
The last few teams were on a footrace to the pit stop in the skyway.
Marian & Ninja decided to go for the fast forward.
"FAST FORWARD! AAAAAHHHHH!" Marian continued screaming.
A scene showed them exploring Undercream Pyramid.
While Sylvester & Danny took a shortcut.
"Bro, let's use it," Danny suggested.
Danny took the Express Pass from Sylvester and gave it to one of the instructors.
Some racers went drone-boarding for the roadblock.
Priscilla collected a flag from a ring in the obstacle course while drone-boarding.
"OH my glob!" exclaimed Radonna after turning in her ten flags.
Mike fell from his board and splashed on the water in frustration.
While some teams were quick to fall for the quicksand.
"What are we gonna do?" asked Danny upon seeing his team's ATV sinking.
With extra teamwork, Wally & Audra and Lawrence & Priscilla got their two all-terrain vehicles out of the quicksand.
"You fool! Weren't you looking at the road!?" Pete reacted violently.
In a search for keys in the castle, teams had to guess their way to the pit stop.
Anathea & Chantallia read together, "I hide in the darkest corners practicing martial arts."
Marvin inserted the key on the painted door in front of them.
"Neigh," Radonna said because the door did not unlock.
Paul & Wibsky unlocked themselves for their first-place win.
"One!" Paul said with his index finger up.
"ONE!" repeated Ryder.
"AAAAAHOY!" reacted Paul with a fist up.
While Sylvester & Danny stayed locked in.
"I don't see anybody different," said Danny.
"Bro, we've been circling the castle for more than half an hour already!" Sylvester said.
Losing their lead from burning their Express Pass.
Sylvester stated, "Teams from behind are already passing us."
"Let's just look for someone else? I don't have a better suggestion," said Danny.
But in the end, it was Science Sisters Anathea & Chantallia who came in last.
"I don't know what exactly we are looking for," said Anathea.
"We tried," said Chantallia.
And were spared elimination.
Ryder said, "I am pleased to tell you that this is a pre-determined non-elimination leg."
"NO WAY!" Chantallia reacted happily.
"We're not getting eliminated with an express pass!" added Anathea.
Eleven teams remain. Who will be eliminated... next?
"Isn't bickering only for married couples?" Radonna asks rhetorically upon seeing Pete & Panth bickering.
The camera pans around the tropical island of Swirl Mountain Island. The island is divided into four quarters colored in light green, yellow, orange, and light blue. On the summit of Swirl Mountain Island is a castle painted in light pink, light blue, and light purple.
Ryder begins, "This… is Swirl Mountain Island. Legend has it that this soft serve ice cream island fell from the sky after being blessed by a deity. The deity created it to be themed after the four seasons, and thus the twelve sectors of Swirl Mountain Island have been inhabited since then."
The camera zooms into the castle. Ryder floats outside it as he continues to talk about the island.
"Here at the top of the Swirl Mountain Island is Swirl Cream Castle, where the rulers of the island live, and here… eleven teams will start the third leg… in a race around worlds."
A montage showed teams arriving at the pit stop:
Paul the Pangoro had index finger up and Wibsky the Walrein waited before Ryder told them their placement;
Mike the Machamp dropped his bag as well as his son, Marvin the Machop, as they stepped on the mat;
Delia the Ledian and Martha the Meganium looked exhausted after losing the footrace;
Marian the Mawile high fived with Ninja the Ninjask;
Wally the Wobbuffet and Audra the Wynaut were happy and relieved upon arrival;
Pete the Parasect laughed aloud evilly as Panth the Porygon stayed silent;
Ron the Typhlosion bumped fists with Radonna the Rapidash;
Lawrence the Riolu and Priscilla the Buneary dropped their bags as they sprinted to the pit stop mat;
Cosette the Jumpluff and Marie the Hoppip followed the previous team's lead in dropping their bags;
Sylvester the Shuppet and Danny the Duskull both shouted in disbelief by not arriving in last place;
Anathea and Chantallia the Swablu sisters grimaced upon being told that they were the last team to arrive.
"Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg for a mandatory rest period."
Sylvester & Danny shouted in victory.
"Will haunted house scarers Sylvester & Danny continue to flop, now without the express pass?"
Delia & Martha and Mike & Marvin looked at each other at the mat.
"Will the rivalry between the gardeners and the father-and-son team quell down anytime soon?"
Teams cheered for Anathea & Chantallia not getting eliminated after Ryder told them it was a non-elimination leg.
"And will science sisters Anathea & Chantallia find a way to bounce back with a speedbump in their way?"
"AAAAAHOY!" reacted Paul with a fist up.
Wibsky reacted, "WOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Paul & Wibsky, who were the first to arrive at 4:50 PM…"
The scene changes to them at the castle's entrance, waiting to start the leg.
"Will be the first to depart… at 4:50 AM."
«Swirl Cream Castle»
Paul & Wibsky = 1st to depart (4:50 AM)
"Let's go," said Paul.
"Yay-yay!" reacted Wibsky before ripping open the clue.
"Make your way to Melt Cream Beach," read Paul. "Once there, find a teleporter that will take you to Crizzleton."
"Teams will make their way down to Melt Cream Beach," Ryder narrated. "Once there, they must enter the teleporter which will take them to the city of Crizzleton…"
The camera pans over a small city.
"... where it is home to music…"
An orchestra performance is shown shortly.
"... theater… "
A citizen is acting in a studio.
"... and entertainment."
A gameshow contestant leaps into a hole to win the game.
"Leg Three, baby," said Paul before he and Wibsky left the pit start.
"We're feeling really good coming in first," Paul said. "It's like being on top of the world. We were the best for the leg."
"We want that number one spot again!" said Wibsky excitedly.
Mike & Marvin = 2nd to depart (4:58 AM)
"You have two thousand and two hundred pokédollars for this leg of the race," read Mike.
Marvin counted the money. It's correct, so he gave a thumbs up.
"My son and I love competition," Mike told. "This race is not only for us to win the money, but it also serves as a bonding time between father and son."
Mike continued, "Both of us are very competitive. We're glad we beat the gardeners to the pit stop last leg."
"Hopefully, we'll beat them too this leg!" Mike ended.
Delia & Martha = 3rd to depart (5:00 AM)
"Today is a new day," said Martha as she and Delia left the mat.
"Coming in after Mike & Marvin sucks," shared Delia.
"For us to lose to them in a footrace tells us that if it would be between us two teams to the finish line, we'll lose to them, and that is a hard pill for us to swallow," Martha added.
Delia & Martha made their way down the summit and to the parked area.
"Hopefully, we'll beat the boys today," Delia said optimistically.
"I sure hope so," Martha seconded.
"On the starting line, Ryder told us that whoever gets the best average by the end of the third leg will receive an advantage," Martha said.
The scene flashed back to Ryder opening a pamphlet to reveal five gold stickers in the shape of stars sticking on the yellow background of the pamphlet.
Delia said, "We're hoping to beat Mike & Marvin today to win us the thing."
"We need it," emphasized Martha.
"Very very much," Delia emphasized even more. "We will fight for it!"
Marian & Ninja = 4th to depart (5:03 AM)
Marian & Ninja kissed before Marian tore open the clue envelope.
"We're going to a place called Crizzleton," Marian said.
"Last leg," started Marian. "We did the fast forward, and we may not be first, but we were pretty close, and we didn't have to do so many tasks. We just did that, and we're still in the race!"
Marian found eight all-terrain vehicles parked near the summit. They also see the gardeners leaving on one.
Wally & Audra = 5th to depart (5:42 AM)
"We have twenty-two hundred pokédollars this leg!" said Audra excitedly.
Wally counted the money. "We're good to go!"
"We're only two legs into this race, and I must say, it is not easy at all," Audra shared.
"She was not feeling well during Leg One, and we're so lucky not to come in last even with a four-hour penalty," continued Wally.
Pete & Panth = 6th to depart (5:46 AM)
"Hurry up you fool!" Pete said as he lagged behind Panth.
"You're the one behind," Panth pointed out monotonously.
"Shut up, moron!" Pete reacted.
"When I win The Amazing Race Pokémon, I will use that money to do evil. Mwahahahaha!" Pete shared.
Panth monotonously added, "Haha. Haha."
Ron & Radonna = 7th to depart (6:02 AM)
"Once there, find a teleporter that will take you to Crizzleton," read Radonna. "Let's go!"
Ron said, "Coming in seventh after the first leg already made us feel good enough with our position in this leg."
"Yeah, it means we aren't the biggest losers, because if we still came in eleventh on Leg Two, we'd disown ourselves," added Radonna.
The dating couple picked an all-terrain vehicle to ride and drive down the mountain.
Lawrence & Priscilla = 8th to depart (6:10 AM)
"Make your way to Melt Cream Beach," read Lawrence.
"We're glad we didn't come in last, because we were pretty close," Priscilla said.
"Every day in the race, we fight to stay in the race," said Lawrence. "We'll never give up until Ryder tells us it's over."
Cosette & Marie = 9th to depart (6:12 AM)
"Is that two thousand two hundred, darling?" asked Cosette in a sweet and mellow tone.
"Yes, Grandma," replied Marie.
"We're good to go then!" said Cosette happily.
"We may be near the bottom, but as long as we're still in the race, it's what matters in the meantime," said Cosette.
"But Grandma, being in the bottom is so scary," said Marie.
"Don't worry about it, dear," said Cosette optimistically. "We're not yet racing the final leg."
The grandmother and granddaughter team made their way down the summit.
"Grandma, the two teams are right on our tails," Marie worried.
"Relax, dear," responded Cosette. "It's not yet the end of the leg."
Sylvester & Danny = 10th to depart (6:18 AM)
"I'm ready to rock n' roll!" Sylvester said.
Danny said, "Leg three is a new day."
"Coming in second to last is not a good thing," shared Danny.
"But it was a non-elimination leg anyway!" Sylvester said. "It didn't matter whether we were last or not. We would still be in the race."
"Yeah," agreed Danny.
Anathea & Chantallia = Last to depart (6:21 AM)
Anathea ripped open the clue then read it.
"We're so catching up today," Chantallia said before they both left the mat.
"We didn't want to come in last," Anathea said.
"Yeah, especially while holding an express pass," said Chantallia.
"We're thinking about using our express pass today."
"We're still not sure about it, but we're considering it, or else we'll be eliminated with an express pass, and we don't want that!" Chantallia laughed.
"Sis, should we use the express pass on the detour or on the roadblock?" Chantallia asked.
Anathea replies, "We'll use it whichever comes first, so that we'll have enough time to do the speedbump, and then the other task, whichever didn't come first."
"And if the speedbump comes first?"
"We'll figure it out when we get there."
"All teams are now making their way down to Melt Cream Beach by all-terrain vehicles."
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
A scene showed Delia & Martha getting lost in the cavern.
"I thought we wouldn't see this ever again," commented Delia.
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers
Another scene showed one team with mixed feelings.
"Grandma, all the teams are passing us," said Marie.
"Darling, we're trying our best to get through this cave on our own."
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
"That wasn't hard," commented Marian as she was driving her team down to the beach.
It didn't take long for the pair to reach Melt Cream Beach first, as the other teams who were ahead of them struggled.
«Melt Cream Isle»
"First in!" Marian said as she parked the all-terrain vehicle.
Both Marian & Ninja entered the portal, which swiftly brought them to the airport in another land.
«Crizzleton Airport»
As they exited the portal, they saw the cluebox right outside of it.
Local Time: 10:40 PM
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple (1st)
"Make your way to Shayroque Peak and ride the zipline to receive your next clue," read Marian. She and Ninja looked around. "I think we need to exchange money."
They immediately go to the next money exchange booth they can find. There was no queue, so they quickly exchanged their money.
"So… I think we'll need a lot of money today," Marian said while waiting.
After a while, Ninja received twenty dollars from the money they exchanged.
"Oh yeah!" said Marian. "Let's go look for the train now."
The anthropomorphic bovine at the currency exchange booth asked, "Do you have train cards already? You can buy them and have them loaded here."
"Oh my gosh?" Marian giggled. "Yes please."
The lady did what she offered to do. Marian gave her ten dollars to load both cards.
"Awesome!" said Marian.
Marian & Ninja left to look for the subway platform.
«Melt Cream Isle»
Back at the base of Swirl Mountain Island, another team arrived.
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart
"Looks like we're in second, son," Mike said.
"Yup," agreed Marvin.
They entered the portal, which takes them to the airport.
«Crizzleton Airport»
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart (2nd)
"Make your way to Shayroque Peak," read Marvin.
"Let's go!" Mike said.
«Airport Subway Station»
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
"All aboard!" said Marian as she entered the train with Ninja.
They ride the subway to the next station. They figured out they needed to switch lanes at their next stop.
«Tallat Station»
By the time they got there, they were bummed to see a sign.
"OMG!" Marian exclaimed. "Tram opens at 8:30 AM."
Ninja dropped like a fly in disappointment.
"Everyone's gonna catch up," Marian said.
«Crizzleton Airport»
Because teams would bunch up anyway, the teams' arrivals in Crizzleton Airport after crossing the portal were all montaged.
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains (3rd)
Paul predicted, "I don't think the zipline is open at night. We'll just bunch up."
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls (4th-5th)
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists (4th-5th)
"Ugh! We spent too much time getting lost," said Delia in frustration.
"We caught up! Mwahahahaha!" Pete celebrated.
Wally & Audra: Farm Siblings (6th)
"Wooooo, zipline!" Wally said excitedly.
"We have to get there first," Audra reminded.
Ron & Radonna: Flame Riders (7th)
"I guess we're not last," Radonna said as she took a clue from the cluebox.
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters (8th)
"We're making up some ground!" said Chantallia.
Sylvester & Danny: Haunted Housians (9th)
"What time is it now?" asked Danny after they read the clue.
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates (10th)
"I'm hoping we can bunch up with the other teams," said Lawrence.
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers (Last)
"Grandma, we're probably last," worried Marie.
Cosette said, "We haven't gotten to any task yet. We can catch up, darling."
«Tallat Station»
The closed tram station was also collecting teams who were all waiting for the tram to open the following morning.
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
"Everyone is catching up," exaggerated Marian upon seeing Mike & Marvin arrive.
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart
"It's closed," said Marvin.
"Shoot!" reacted Mike.
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains
Paul & Wibsky inspected the sign.
"Guess we're back to square one," Paul said.
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
"I'm glad we didn't blow our average," said Delia.
"Yeah," Martha agreed.
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
"NOOOOO!" yelled Pete aloud.
"Shhh…" hushed Panth.
"Shut up, moron!" Pete reacted violently.
Wally & Audra: Farm Siblings
Ron & Radonna: Flame Riders
"Hi guys," greeted Audra to the other teams.
"Here's hoping we can go above seventh place," Ron whispered to Radonna.
Radonna nodded.
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
As the sisters saw the other teams, they double high-fived on their way to see the other teams. They left their stuff where the other teams left theirs, but they stepped aside for an on-spot confessional.
"I was ecstatic to catch up to the other teams!" Anathea shared.
"We're hoping to be at the front of the pack tomorrow," Chantallia added.
Sylvester & Danny: Haunted Housians
"Yes!" Sylvester said softly. "We're caught up."
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers
"Everybody else is here, Grandma," said Marie.
"No dear," Cosette said before looking back to see another team just arriving.
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
"Looks like we're spending the night at the station," said Priscilla.
The night went by, then the sun rose over a foresty horizon.
Local Time: 8:00 AM
The tram station opened, and teams were buying their tickets. Teams bought tickets in the order they arrived in the middle of the night. They also queued for the tram in the same order. The tram arrived after a while, but it can only fit enough teams.
"You have to wait for the next train," said the anthropomorphic bovine.
Sylvester & Danny: Haunted Housians
"Are you kidding me!?" Sylvester reacted.
"Oh no…" said Danny as he saw the first tram filled with the first eight teams.
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
"Looks like we're fighting for last again," said Lawrence.
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers
"Grandma, we're going to be eliminated," worried Marie.
"Darling, the guy said the tram comes every ten minutes," Cosette said. "I think we'll make up some time later."
By 8:30 AM, the first tram departed. Since the next tram was queued, the last three teams were sitting there waiting for their tram to depart. Before their tram even departed, they could see from afar the first eight teams already arriving in the station they needed to be in.
«Zigzane Station»
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
Marian & Ninja quickly dashed out of the tram to switch platforms. They needed to climb the mountain a bit to reach the funicular station.
"WOOHOO!" Marian yelled as she knew that her team was leading the pack.
By the time they got to the ticketing station, they were first.
"Awesome!" Marian said as she successfully bought their tickets to the funicular.
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains
"Two tickets please," said Paul.
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
"Mwahahaha!" laughed Pete. "I got the tickets!"
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
"Thank you," both girls said upon receiving their tickets.
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
"What time does the funicular leave?" Anathea asked the ticketing bovine.
She looked at her watch. "In less than a minute."
"No way!" Chantallia said.
They received their tickets and made a mad dash to the funicular.
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart
"Two tickets please," Mike said.
After a while, they received their tickets too.
"Thanks," they both said.
"Quick, son," said Mike.
By the time they reached the platform, they saw the funicular already moving up the mountain.
"We just missed it!" Mike said in frustration.
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
"Mike & Marvin didn't make it!" Delia said in shock.
"Oh my gosh!" Martha high fived with Delia.
"We're sooo lucky," said Chantallia.
"We were the last team to get on the first tram and the first funicular, so that gave us the lead we needed for this leg," Anathea said.
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart
Wally & Audra: Farm Siblings
Ron & Radonna: Flame Riders
"What time does the next funicular leave?" Mike asked a worker.
"9:05," he replied.
"Looks like we gotta wait," said Radonna followed by a heavy sigh.
A couple of minutes passed, and they saw the last three teams catching up to them.
Sylvester & Danny: Haunted Housians
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers
"Where are the other teams?" asked Cosette.
"They went ahead. We missed the funicular," Ron replied.
"Well that sucks," Priscilla said.
Sylvester & Danny walked to another area of the funicular platform.
"We still have a chance, bro," Danny bumped fists with Sylvester.
"This leg is just starting, and I have high hopes," Sylvester said.
As the last six teams boarded their funicular, the first five teams arrived near the summit. They still needed to ride the cable car to the summit, so they ran to the ticket counter to get another set of tickets.
«Woodrine Station»
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
"Woohoo! First again," Marian said with glee.
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
"We're gonna win this leg," said Delia with determination.
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
Pete & Panth arrived in the queue as well, followed by Paul & Wibsky then Anathea & Chantallia. The queue did not matter, however, as the teams there had ample time before the cable car departed. Meanwhile, the other six teams arrived to buy cable car tickets too, but they won't be able to ride it until the cable car comes back to the station.
«Shayroque Peak»
The first five teams made a mad dash to leave the cable car.
"I see the sign-up board!" Delia pointed out.
Other teams followed her, but she grabbed the slip with "1" on it.
"Yes!" Delia said.
"Yay!" Martha followed.
"Two," said Panth monotonously.
"Three," Anathea said as she plucked out the number.
Marian disappointedly pulled out number four.
Paul was the fifth to grab a number.
"So we're riding the zipline in fifth," said Paul.
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
"All right!" said Martha as she was being strapped on.
"This is gonna be awesome!" said Delia.
The bovine operator said, "Alright, at the count of three. One… two… three!"
"Three!" Delia said along excitedly.
Delia & Martha shouted as they rode down the zipline.
"THIS IS SO COOL!" exclaimed Delia.
"I never thought flying would be this fun!" Martha said aloud.
Towards the end of their zipline, they realized that a portal opened, and it sucked them in. They landed indoors and were caught by a giant net in a macaroni-shaped stadium.
«McAroni Stadium»
"Oh my gosh!" Martha said in surprise.
"I see the cluebox!" Delia said.
They were strapped off of their ziplining gear before heading towards the cluebox. Another team was arriving from the portal at this time.
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls (1st)
"Detour, light or sound?" read Delia & Martha together.
"Crizzleton is a small city bustling with the performing arts," Ryder narrated while in a museum.
The scene changed to him with a helmet in the mines. "But it is also the main exporter of this rare glowing ore." Ryder held an ore glowing in pastel yellow.
"In this detour, teams can choose between mining for light ores, or they can go visit the Musiceum to appreciate art. Their choice… light, or sound?"
"In light, teams must make their way by railed transport to the Crizzleton Mineyard. Once there, they must dig out and search for seven lumiulites, one for each color, within the mineyard." Ryder dropped seven lumiulites in different colors of the rainbow on a small minecart. "Once teams have found seven differently colored lumiulites, the head miner will give them their next clue. The task may not be too difficult in theory, but searching for a particularly colored lumiulite… can take hours."
"In sound, teams must make their way by railed transport to the Musiceum, where they will need to listen and remember over thirty classical soundtracks. Once ready, they will need to take a quiz and identify the different pieces correctly." A tune played in the background. Ryder then said, "When they identify all the musical pieces correctly, the curator will hand them their next clue. Teams doing this detour don't need to get their hands dirty, but remembering and identifying classical music can be quite a challenge."
"Let's do sound?" said Martha.
"Yeah, we're doing sound," said Delia.
When they exited the stadium, they could see the tram moving further and further away from the station.
"I guess we need to wait," said Martha.
«McAroni Stadium»
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists (2nd)
"We're doing light. Mwahahahaha!" Pete announced.
"Yes boss," replied Panth monotonously.
«Shayroque Peak»
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
The third team left the zipline.
"We've never gone ziplining before," Anathea said.
"We're Swablu!" Chantallia said. "Why fly when you can already fly?"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!" screamed Chantallia.
"Is it just me or does it feel like I can't control my speed?" Anathea questioned as the wind kept hitting her face.
«McAroni Stadium»
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
"Our tram is finally leaving," said Delia.
"We're getting first today," encouraged Panth blankly.
"Yes we will! Mwahahahaha!" Pete responded.
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters (3rd)
"Detour, light or sound?" read Anathea.
"We should pick the one we don't wanna do," said Chantallia.
"You're right."
"Let's do light."
"Sure!"
While waiting for their tram outside the stadium, they faced the camera.
"We're thinking of using our express pass today," Chantallia said.
"Yeah, there's no point saving it for later when there might not be a later," added Anathea. "Besides, we still have a speedbump."
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple (4th)
"Let's do light, my Ninja," Marian decided.
"Okay, dear," responded Ninja.
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains (5th)
"I think we should do the mining task," suggested Paul.
"Okie dokie!" Wibsky agreed.
«Shayroque Peak»
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart
Wally & Audra: Farm Siblings
Ron & Radonna: Flame Riders
Sylvester & Danny: Haunted Housians
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers
On the top of the mountain, the six teams scrambled to find the queueing board.
"I got six!" Lawrence announced.
Cosette pulled out a seven.
Radonna got eight, followed by Mike shortly with nine.
Wally then got ten, leaving Sylvester & Danny to scrape the last number on the board.
"***t," Sylvester expressed.
"That's not good," Danny said.
They helplessly watched Lawrence & Priscilla getting strapped on before riding the zipline.
"We have lots of catching up to do," Danny added.
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
After being strapped on, the bovine operator said, "On the count of three. One… two… three!"
"Woohoo!" both Lawrence & Priscilla said after they were released.
"This is awesome!" Priscilla said aloud.
"Getting to ride the zipline with my boyfriend will be an unforgettable experience," shared Priscilla.
"The feeling is mutual, Rissy," Lawrence said with an evident smile.
Priscilla hugged Lawrence tightly.
«Tallat Station»
Delia & Martha: Garden Girls
Around the ticketing area, Delia & Martha were figuring out the best route to the Musiceum. After asking someone inside the subway, they learned that they would need to get off at St. Quirr station.
"We need to switch trains at Ravensway, then ride end to end on the blue lane," Delia analyzed.
"That's about right," Martha agreed.
Pete & Panth: Evil Scientists
Pete & Panth were also headed to St. Quirr, as the mineyard is also located closest to the same station.
"Hurry, fool!" Pete scolded Panth. "We're gonna LOSE THEM!" Pete pointed to Delia & Martha going in another direction. As he and Panth were catching up to the other team, Pete laughed, "Mwahaha!"
Both teams reached their platform in time, as they saw the train just arriving.
"Perfect," Panth commented.
«McAroni Stadium»
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates
When they reached the portal part of the zipline, the net in the stadium caught them.
"That was so cool!" Lawrence reacted.
"I wanna do it again," added Priscilla. "It's so much fun!"
Lawrence & Priscilla: Cyborg Soulmates (6th)
"Detour, light or sound?" read Priscilla.
Lawrence said, "Do you think finding seven would be faster than listening to music?"
"I don't know. Maybe the music one would be easier."
"Okay, I guess we can try that."
"We're doing sound."
While waiting for their tram to arrive, their allies landed on the net.
Cosette & Marie: Grand Lecturers (7th)
"Detour, light or sound?" read Marie.
"Let's do sound," said Cosette.
"Okay, Grandma," responded Marie.
«Tallat Station»
Anathea & Chantallia: Science Sisters
Marian & Ninja: Kick Heart Couple
Both teams were looking at the map side by side. Once they were done, they headed towards the platform to wait for their train.
"We're on the same train with the Swablu sisters," Marian said to the camera. "They have a speedbump, so I'm not so worried about them."
«McAroni Stadium»
After the zipline, two more teams arrived to decide on their detours.
Ron & Radonna: Flame Riders (8th)
"We're doing light," Radonna announced.
Mike & Marvin: Team Strong Smart (9th)
"We're picking light," echoed Mike a few minutes later.
«Tallat Station»
Paul & Wibsky: Ship Captains
"Let's take this route." Paul traced a path where they switched lanes at Ravensway.
"But there are less stops here." Wibsky traced another path, wherein they take the opposite direction and switch lanes twice.
"Hmmm…" Paul rubbed his chin. "Okay. We can try that."
When they were discussing, they went to the platform that takes them to the opposite direction from where the first four teams departed from.
«McAroni Stadium»
The last two teams to ride the zipline decided on their detours when they read the clue.
Wally & Audra: Farm Siblings (10th)
