(The next Day in Town)

"Good morning competitors. I would like to welcome you to the 20th annual Pokemon Triathlon. There will be three events one each day. Each of you will only have one pokemon to use. So with out further ado I would like to welcome to the master of ceremonies for this year Andrew Hanson" said Bailey Underwood who is playing the announcer.

She walks over to Andrew shakes his hand and hands him the mic. He then walks over to were the crowd was standing and begun to talk.

"Good morning. I am just going to get to the point. Today's event will be the accuracy portion. Today you will have to go from here to Willow Springs Woods and once there you and your pokemon you choose will have to break three targets set up. The first one who breaks all the targets will be awarded 20 points the one who does it last will receive 1 point. Some of the rules today are: No cheating. No substitutions. No harming any other trainers in any way. In the end one trainer will receive this award" said Andrew taking out the dusk stone.

He then hands the mic back to Bailey and she tells the trainers to choose their pokemon. Here are the participants listed 1 to 20 and next to their name is the pokemon they chose.

"Will all participants take the starting line" said Bailey who then hands the mic back back to Andrew.

"Good luck and get ready... get set... Go" said Andrew.

All 20 of them take off running heading towards Willow Springs Woods. They all get to the main street and stop to take out the map from the items they got in their bags. The other items are an apple, a bag of pokemon treats, a water bottle and some duct tape. The 20 participants begun to break apart all going the same way but some are faster then others. The group that is fighting over the lead has Daniel, Martin, Jade, Brady, Summer, Jenna and Leon.

(The announce team)

They are in a hot air balloon above all the action.

"It looks like Daniel has the lead going to the the first obstacle" said Andrew.

"Yeah" said Bailey.

"How is he going to handle all the Spinarak webs?" asked Andrew.

"Lets go see" said Bailey.

(The Participants)

"Lucario use metal claw to get through those webs" said Daniel.

His Lucario manged to cut his way through the some of the webs but cant get though all of them. The time it took allowed Martin to catch him.

"Leavanny use cut." said Martin.

The cut manged to get through the rest of the webs but it looks like the Spinarak's came back and they are not happy. The Spinarak's used string shot to tie up Leavanny witch allowed everyone to pass up Martin who is trying to get his Leavanny.

(Back to the announce team)

"It looks like Martin's Leavanny is tied up" said Bailey.

"Yes it is lets see if he can get out of that and catch up to the last group" said Andrew.

(Back to the Participants)

"Lucario that was close that could have been us" said Daniel.

He has retaken the lead but the one behind him is closing fast. He was just passed by Leon and his Mienfoo.

"Come on Mienfoo we have the lead now" said Leon.

As they approach the next street the next challenge is about to show up. They have two options on this part either go around meaning take the detour or try to get pass the sleeping Arbok without waking him. Leon and Mienfoo decide to go try and pass the sleeping Arbok. The two did not say a word and made it passed the Arbok. So did about half of the others. The other half decided to go around.

(Back to the announce team)

"It looks like making it pass the sleeping snake was rather easy" said Bailey.

"True but awaking that snake would have caused trouble for the trainers" said Andrew.

"They have one more obstacle before reaching the park so lets see how they are going to make it through that" said Bailey.

"Oh you mean the Beedrill's nests" said Andrew.

"Yes" said Bailey.

(Back to the Participants)

We have a new leader approaching the final straight away. Jade and her Liepard passed up Leon and Daniel to take the lead. They are approaching the Woods and walked right passed the sign that said be careful sleeping Beedrills. She made it to the woods and walked in then she was stopped by about five or six Beedrill and she ran off the course to avid them giving up her lead and returning Daniel to the lead as it was his turn to try to pass the Beedrills.

"Lucario Beedrills are easily angered so lets sneak pass them" whispered Daniel.

Then again the Beedrill awoke and stated after him. He took tried to fight them off but there was just to many of them and he and Lucario also were sent off the course. While the Beedrill were chasing five trainers manged to get through while the rest deiced to go around. Daniel manged to get away from the Beedrills and manged to join the rest of the trainers at the target location.

(The announce team)

The hot air balloon landed and Andrew and Bailey got off.

"There are three targets set up for each trainer to break so good luck" said Bailey.

"If I was the first person I would break the closest three which are 3ft. 5ft and 2ft. away from him" said Andrew.

All the trainers started looking for the targets set up everywhere.

(Back to the Particpants)

"Mienfoo we need to win this" said Leon searching for three targets.

"Yes I found one" said Katie.

So it looks like Katie is in the lead with one target broken. They keep looking and looking then five others have found one.

"I found one" said Emma.

"So did I" said Brady.

Daniel and Cat have also found one. So have the rest. So it is a tie for first as everyone tried to find their second target.

"Yes I have found a second one" said Jenna.

Along with her finding another Daniel, Brady, Katie, Summer, Dalton and Cat have also found the second target. Ten minutes later 7 more people have found another target. The last six are still looking for their second target. Just then one of the fourteen have found a third and breaks it and stats heading to were the announce team is.

(The announce team)

"It looks like someone is coming who could it be" said Bailey.

Just then 5 more found a third target and started towards the announce table.

Here that person comes and it is Katie and Eevee taking the first spot. Next comes Daniel. Third is Cat. Fourth comes Jenna. Fifth is Mark and Electabuzz and after that everyone else finishes. Here is the results after day one.

"Well its still anybodies race since tomorrow's maze is worth 40pts. So anyone can get right back into it" said Bailey.

"So Congrats to Katie our day one winner but she better look out tomorrow anyone can take the lead" said Andrew.

"You are right and that wraps up this leg we will see you tomorrow" said Bailey and she leaves.

(We now join some of the participants still in the Woods)

"Congrats Katie" said Brady who is still dissapointed for sitting in 11th place.

"I am so happy" said Katie.

"Congrats" said Andrew walking up to them.

"Thanks" said Katie.

"Now how about everyone join me near the edge of the woods for a celebration dinner since no one really got hurt on day one. said Andrew.

The ten left in the woods all followed Andrew and they saw a little area with table and a BBQ with a guy standing in front of it. The ten all grab a plate and sit down at the tables available. Andrew then walks to some of the tables to talk to some of the people.

"So hows it going?" asked Andrew to Daniel and Cat.

"I am good thanks for this but I can say one thing Beedrills are really a pain" said Daniel laughing.

"I could imagine" said Andrew.

"What up with her?" asked Andrew.

"Well Cat here is determined not to lose again to Jenna" said Daniel.

"Yeah I saw that she was 3% away from the victory" said Andrew standing up and walking away.

Andrew then walks over to were Jenna was sitting.

"I see you got a rival" said Andrew to Jenna.

"Yeah I know" said Jenna.

"I would like to wish Congrats on your first contest victory" said Andrew.

"Thanks" said Jenna.

"Your welcome" said Andrew standing up and walking away.

He now joins Emma, Katie and, Brady.

"I have some good news for you guys" said Andrew.

"Yes what is it" asked Emma.

"Oh the gym leader will be back in two days. She left today because everything was all good at her house" said Andrew.

"Finally" said Brady.

"Well enjoy your dinner and I will see you all later" said Andrew leaving.

"Do remember all of you have to meet here for tomorrow start." said Andrew talking to everyone.

He then leaves the woods right after. Everyone starts wrapping up eating and starts leaving. It becomes dark and the Woods is empty. Everyone is in there hotel rooms when the night sky became a different color.

(Andrew in his hotel room)

He looks out at the night sky and sees it changing colors.

"Something bad is about to happen" said Andrew a little nervous.

He still looking at the sky just after about 10 minutes it returns to normal.

(In Brady' Hotel Room)

"Why is the sky that color?" asked Brady to himself.

"I hope this is not a bad thing" said Brady.

(In Emma's and Katie's Room)

"Something is wrong" said Katie.

"What do you mean?" asked Emma.

"Look at the sky" said Katie.

They both also see the different colored sky. Everyone is on edge that night as they slept as little as possible. All that night after that 10 minutes of the greenish and redish color sky everything was fine.

What could possible be happening in the sky that is causing the color change.

Trainer Update:

Katie has won the first leg of the triathlon.

Brady is 11th.

Emma is 9th.

Poke Update:

none

DD Update:

Could they be behind the color change in the sky?

I really enjoyed writing this chapter so expect more fun to come in the Second leg.

I would like to Thank NuttyBuddy792 and marcdzagoev for their characters.
