After Josh took his position, he heard name after name called, but Eva's wasn't being called! Row after row finished lining up ahead of him and his Sharpedo. The final row started forming. Did Eva really qualify near the front of the pack on her first race? If so, Barraskewda has to be an incredible species for aquatic races, and Josh would have to track one down. At last, Josh got his answer. "Qualifying 2nd place in the Time Trials, from Pallet, Kanto, Eva Morales and Torpedo, her Barraskewda!" the MC continued, a loud cheer following. She must have had quite the fanbase from another gig. Perhaps she was in show biz or something? She did imply inexperience. Either way her Pokémon had to be just extremely well suited for the course, or she was way more talented than she let on. Maybe she was a natural. Josh waved and gave one last "Good luck!" to Eva as she took her position on the grid's front row. "And qualifying on the pole, from Dehara, Borrius, Raye Higgins and Violet, her Dragonair!" Now Josh was disappointed he didn't enter his Dragonair, Resheph; a Dragonair battle on the last lap would have been dramatic and gotten him a lot of attention. Snacker was better suited to the course, though. There were long straight stretches where he could really pour on the speed, and every corner but one could be easily drifted through. The course was also relatively short; the race would be over in a couple minutes or so. The electronic banner over the starting line glowed red after all twenty racers had taken their positions, a sign for them to be ready to start. Three Poké Ball symbols appeared across the banner. The rightmost one faded out, accompanied by a low buzzer, one second later. This was repeated for the second symbol, with one remaining. When the third one disappeared, the background turned from red to green and higher-pitched, longer buzzer signaled the start of the race. Josh felt a sharp jolt and heard a loud popping noise as Snacker fed water through his propulsion organ, a thin, high-pressure beam of water shooting from the water-type's rear end. The cacophony of cries Pokémon and human drowned out the myriad of splashing as racers quickly got up to speed. The Lapras that started behind Josh very quickly passed him, as to be expected; with Sharpedo being an extremely momentum-based swimmer, it took his jet propulsion some time to get up to speed. Once he got up to speed, though, he was going to leave everyone behind...especially on the second and third laps, when he would be able to use his Aqua Jet to really go darting through the waves! For the first time around the course, though, Josh would have to hold his Sharpedo back... Eva Morales LAP 1/3 POS 20/20 ENERGY 99% TIME 00'02"133 LAP TIME 1 00'02"133 + 01"090
