It was well before noon when this race was happening. A group of Rookies who have finished up their time and now were being looked on for a final evaluation to officially become Cadets. The elites had set up a course through the forest with the cadets needing to use their knowledge of the terrain to maneuver around properly. Definitely helped that the Terrain Gym Leader was a member of their elites. Most seemed like they were doing well, however for this particular ranger he found this a bit more difficult that it should've been. [break][break]
Razz was never one for the limelight, and so in group events like this he would rather not participate. This wasn't optional however so as the group of Rangers ran Razz would often find himself lagging behind a little. He just didn't want them on his right side is what he tells himself. When it came to the climbing event to try and maneuver within the trees getting up was easy and Razz found himself getting ahead once more. At least until he 'slips' on a branch causing him to fall from the tree. He brushes off a few of the other rookies asking if he was alright, claiming he was fine. In the rush that was this race it would've been easy to miss him grabbing the branch in a way that softened the 'unexpected fall.'[break][break]
He waits a bit before starting again and heading toward the next course that focused more on watching your surroundings. Spinarak and Ariados were mostly filled in thanks to one of the Elites as they would be in charge of setting a few traps as well as attacking a few times to slow down the rookies. With one of them Razz noticed the webbing on the ground that one of his other Rangers were missing so he ran forward a bit faster, rudely bumping their shoulder as he passed them as he ran into the web instead getting stuck rather than the other. [break][break]
"Serves you right!" she would grumble at him because they couldn't get it in their head that they would've ran into it if Razz hadn't. The younger man just shrugs it off as he has to force himself out of the webs. He's near the butt of the group now, his running seems slower than most of the race as this part seems to be still taking notice of your environment and where the hidden Spinark were. One of the rookies was having a hard time as it was apparent they had a fear of spider pokemon so getting through seemed difficult for them. A spinark seemed to take advantage of this to shoot a spider web, though because Razz had been lagging behind with them he is able to move himself for the attack instead. [break][break]
The ranger with arachnophobia seems to just scream as his fellow Ranger is captured by the web and runs faster. The spider web is stuck enough that keeps his right arm stuck to his chest which it remains that way for what was left of the game. Razz is among the last 5 to complete as he could hear around him a few of the others silently poking fun of just how much he was hit with the spiders. Of course he ignores it as he tries to rip the webs off himself. It wasn't like the was the only victim of them, but hopefully he did enough in the Elites eyes to pass.
