In the Pterydactyl Plains, a place well-known for having home in many species of Pterosaurs that just so happened to have a lot of cliffs due to its well known cliffside, one of Dinosaur Land's most intelligent and highly respected inhabitants, Doctor Harryhausen Howard Hoshi, or simply Dr. Hoshi as he was known by all, is watching the first race in the 1st Annual Yoshi Kart Grand Prix coming to an end within his house on the cliffside overlooking the many edges sticking out of the water where the flying reptiles roost. How was the purple velociraptor with light blue glasses and a white lab coat able to keep up with this when he was supposedly doing scientific stuff is an object beyond mere comprehension, but he knew that this was being done for a purpose.

"And so, we come to an end to the Sauropod Forest race," Master Hand announces from the TV. "Be sure to stay tuned as we get down to the next race, which will not be the Ankylosaurus Desert as many has thought it would be, but the racecourse will take place in the much larger, but still semi-desert themed, Ankylosaurus Land, so be sure to stay tuned."

Dr. Hoshi turned off the TV and headed to the telephone. He looked at the various objects he had, including a photo that was of him and his fellow Yoshi Kart racers.

"I guess I'll see how my buddy, Chad, is doing," Dr. Hoshi said to himself, as he dialed Chad the Charmander's phone number and waited for the fire lizard Pokemon to pick up.

"Come on, doc!" Yoshi teased as he was driving ahead in his green pipe framed karts, with him and others using the same kind of vehicle as they were going around the Yoshi Circuit.

"Give me a chance to catch up!" Dr. Hoshi exclaimed as he chucked a homing Yoshi egg towards the green dinosaur, hitting him and snatching the Birdo egg that was somehow resting in the middle as he took the lead. "On another note, maybe I should let you have that chance!"

"Don't be so greedy!" Birdo taunted as she rammed into Dr. Hoshi, causing him to fall into the water as she blew a kiss goodbye and got 1st place.

"...Right," Dr. Hoshi said as he went back to doing what he meant to do, call a certain reptile.

In a lone barber shop in Ankylosaurus Land, Chad the Charmander, the owner of the barbershop who always wore a green mask with red spikes, picked up the phone. "Hello this is Chad the Charmander speaking."

"Chad? Are you there?" Dr. Hoshi said from the other line.

Chad gasped. "Dr. Hoshi? Is that really you?"

Dr. Hoshi, holding the phone close to his head, smiled and nodded as he eyed that one specific photo he passed by earlier. "Yup. It's been some time, hasn't it?"

Chad screamed joyfully through the other line. "Doc! Man, am I glad to hear from you again! So, what's it like in the Pterydactyl Plains?"

Dr. Hoshi chuckled while hearing the chirps of the various Pterosaurs flying outside his humble home on the cliffs. "It's good, but there's something I want to tell you about- it's the 1st Annual Yoshi Kart Grand Prix."

Chad the Charmander, who also had the phone close to his head, gasped. "1st Annual Grand Prix? On Yoshi Kart? Does that mean...everyone from the races those years ago are there?"

"Yup," Dr. Hoshi commented while adjusting his glasses, "And it looks promising, so I'm going to come over to Ankylosaurus Land."

Chad smiled. "Well, I'm glad to have you call me. Tell me when you get here!" He hanged up the phone afterwards, thinking to himself. "Hmm... should I commit to finally evolving, or should I put it on hold until later...?"

Dr. Hoshi smiled, as he too hung up the phone. "Chad the Charmander, I shall not disappoint you," He said, as he got out of his house, hopped into his special purple kart, and took off from the Pterydactyl Plains to Ankylosaurus Land.

How exactly would he get there is beyond mere words, but make no mistake, Harryhausen would do his best to actually partake in this race. After all, he was the only original character who would somehow be the only 1 left!
