MAUVILLE BAY, HOENN - Celebrity racer and Head Professor Dr. Eva Morales and Torpedo, her Barraskewda, made their circult debut in the Silver Class on the Drift Highway, and managed to fend off nineteen of the fiercest competitors in her class for the trophy. A complete unknown in the world of Pokémon racing, Dr. Morales' vast knowledge of Pokémon allowed her to pick the perfect Pokémon for the course and know exactly the limits she had to meet. The pivotal moment that led to her victory was her patience at the start of the second lap, saving her Barraskewda's potent bursts of speed for when it really mattered and earning her ticket to the professional Minor Circult, the Gold Class, for the 2023 season.[break][break]

Other notables included Gold Class candidates Raye Higgins, who finished a close second, and Mauville Gym Leader Josh Devlin , Hoenn's Pokémon Racing Federation ambassador, who finished in 15th place. PSPN News' very own Jody Summers conducted a brief interview with the Head Professor shortly after the race.[break][break]
J: Congratulations on your Silver Class victory. So let's start with the big Pokémon in the room. You've had no history with Pokémon racing before, yet you come out to a big event such as this one and take the checkered flag. What got you into Pokémon racing?[break][break]
E: To be honest, I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie! I couldn’t pass up an invite to tear through some wicked turns and test out Torpedo’s speed on a real race course! I do love the rush of the race![break][break]
J: Torpedo is a nice Barraskweda you've got there! The only one in today's field, in fact. You two must have known each other for a long time.[break][break]
E: Torpedo and I have known each other just over a year now, maybe closer to two. He’s one of the first Pokémon I caught when I came to Hoenn. We’ve done some recreational diving together and buzzing around the Water Routes near Lilycove prior to this. We did battle in the Hoenn Star Tournament together![break][break]
J: Now that you've won, what are your plans after your first Silver Class victory?[break][break]
E: “Oh! Well, I haven’t really given it much thought, you know? Wasn’t really uhhh expectin to win. I don’t know . . . I’ll probably enter some more! That was fun! Well, when I have time . . . Head Professor is a pretty demanding job.[break][break]
J: As Head Professor, what are your fields of study? And outside of that, what do you do?[break][break]
E: Well, by trade I’m a veterinarian – but that is a very broad field in and of itself. I uhh mostly study a lot of Hoenn's strange phenomenon. I’ve written a few recently publications on the new pPokémon variants from the distortions and primal energy.[break][break]
J: With people like you studying the large Pokémon that come from the Distortions, your work will inevitably revolutionize the world of Pokémon racing. Such Pokémon have been showing to events in greater numbers, and the community has people like you to thank. With your talent with your Barraskewda and your study of such unusually large Pokémon, have you considered racing full-time? I think you're more than talented enough to turn pro.[break][break]
E: Naahhhh, I can’t abandon my work! But you will certainly see me out on the race track again. Silph Cup here I come!! Watch out![break][break]
J: Truly passionate for your field of study, I see. Hoenn needs more people like you who not only do the work the region needs to be done, but have a drive to do it. There were a couple of rough accidents out there this afternoon, and accidents have brought to light a bit of a controversial topic. There are some who say the rules need to be revised to prevent accidents during races. What are your thoughts?[break][break]
E: It’s certainly heartbreaking when you see a fellow racer and Pokémon hurt themselves. There’s always a top-notch medic team at the ready to give them gold standard care. I think it’s best to critically review the safety standards on a regular basis. Any hiccups or trends should be addressed immediately for everyone’s safety. However, going this fast on Pokémon is inherently dangerous. Each rider knows the risks, along with their Pokémon partner. Obviously, they qualify as well, presenting adequate skill for the course which is also essential to reducing risk.[break][break]
J: Got a message for your TV fans out there?[break][break]
E: I guess I’d say, step outside your comfort zone! Don’t be afraid to try something new. You might be pleasantly surprised![break][break]
